Seberg

Darling, I'll miss the plane.

You could come too.

The Sorbonne is barricaded. Students are in the streets.

Why would I go to Los Angeles?

I'll be in Los Angeles.

All right, stay.

If I need to find out how you are,

I'll just ask the prettiest student at the Sorbonne.

Don't you trust me?

Wait, Mama. I have something for you.

Should I?

Let me see.

Oh. It looks just like him.

You put the gray in his beard and everything.

We'll visit Mama on location this summer.

- Hmm? - Mm-hmm.

Au revoir.

I love you.

Bon voyage.

Bye, baby.

The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense

calls upon the American people in general,

and the black people in particular,

to take careful note.

Racist police agencies throughout the country

are intensifying the terror, brutality, murder

and repression of black people.

Free Huey!

Free Huey!

Or else! Free Huey now!

Or else! Free Huey now! Or else!

Racial tensions flared over the weekend

in Oakland and Los Angeles,

with more clashes between Negroes and police.

In downtown Los Angeles yesterday,

students and Black Power advocates joined forces

to protest against police brutality.

Free Huey now! Or else!

The protests were largely nonviolent,

but Black Power leader Eldridge Cleaver had this to say.

The police must be brought under control

by any means necessary,

including through force of arms.

These racist Gestapo pigs have to stop

brutalizing our community, or we're gonna take up guns.

We're gonna drive 'em out.

Mr. Cleaver went on to demand an immediate...

- Aw, come on. - What?

Jesus, Linette.

I thought the move would be a good excuse

- to get rid of some junk. - You want to junk something,

start with that rug in the living room.

My mother gave us that rug.

I thought you liked that rug.

It's just a comic, Jack.

It's a 1941 Jack Kirby origin issue.

Where Steve Rogers first experiments

with the Super Soldier Serum, becomes Captain America.

It's not just a comic.

Super Soldier Serum, huh?

Yeah. It was intended for the entire U.S. Army,

but the experiment was sabotaged.

- Sabotaged? - Nazis.

Those bastards.

Your ASAC back home led me to believe

you were some kind of sound wizard.

Yes, sir, they had me in technical there,

but I was hoping to be out on the street.

- Oh. - Investigation.

Working on your suntan, huh? - Yes, sir.

Well, you're in luck, soldier.

There are elements in our society

who don't like the way we do things here in America.

We know this because

we are everywhere they are.

In this city, at the present time,

that's this cocksucker right here.

Hakim Abdullah Jamal.

Formerly Allen Donaldson.

Doper, pornographer, and for a short spell,

resident of the nuthouse over in Roxbury, Massachusetts.

He got clean, found Allah.

It is now Mr. Jamal's fervent wish

to unite radical Negro groups

in their effort to overthrow our government.

- We aim to dissuade him. - Unbelievable!

Who put this wire in? You?

Where'd you put it, in the fucking bathtub?

Mind if I give it a shot?

Yeah, knock yourself out.

Get all the brothers up there.

Well, you got a road nearby. Traffic.

Can you bring the middle up any?

Get all the brothers up there.

Picking her up, Bert, from the hotel and...

Now isolate the middle to top range frequencies.

You know, we-we don't want to do this...

And turn down the bass.

Here.

So, the meeting went well.

We had a great turnout in New York.

Okay.

Patch it through.

Pan Am 23 out of New York.

Around 5:00 on Friday.

- Mm-hmm. Be good to have a... - Jack's our new sound man.

- Right on. Right on. - You get assigned yet?

They know we ain't playing.

- Can I get a coffee, please? - Yes, sir.

Thank you.

- Did you read it? - Mm-hmm.

I did.

It's Paddy Chayefsky.

She's got one number, Walt.

She's this housewife living with these two lunks.

I don't... Shirley MacLaine'll probably get it anyway,

- so who cares? - It's a good part.

A lot of money.

It's a musical.

It's a Western musical.

It's irrelevant.

I want to make a difference.

What is it? The screen test?

Logan's a... he's a good guy.

He's a nice guy, Jean.

He's not Preminger.

No curtains gonna keep me out.

- Let me see! Let me see... - Sir, I'm sorry.

You can't go in there, sir.

Sir.

Where all these invisible white people at.

- Sir. - There ain't nothing but seats up here.

- Sir, people are sleeping! - How 'bout right here?

Well, what about these two right here?

- All these seats are empty. - Sir, if you'd let me explain,

you must remain in the seats you were allocated.

I have the widow of the late brother Malcolm X

shoved in a itty-bitty seat back there

- like a barnyard animal. - Sir.

She should be treated like royalty.

Now, I told you, I got the money to pay

for some first-class, white treatment.

You're gonna stand there and tell me

- my money's too black for you? - Sir.

I'm not really interested in politics, okay?

Well, let me tell you something, sister!

- This is a question of... - Politics is interested in you!

It is a question of airline policy.

This is a question of that lady

getting a seat that she deserves!

- Which I'm willing to pay for! - I'm gonna have to ask you

- to take your seat, please. - And until she does,

I'm gonna sit right here.

- Sir, will you please take your seat? - It's took.

Excuse me.

We would be more than happy to give up our seats.

- Wouldn't we, Walt? - Uh, no.

Uh... - No, miss, that's not necessary.

My name's Jean.

I know who you are, Jean.

Watch out, honky.

Ladies and gentlemen,

arriving passengers from Pan Am Flight 23 from New York

- may now be met at Gate 10. - That's him.

That's Jamal.

The broad is Betty Shabazz, Brother Malcolm's old lady.

Jamal's in step with the Panthers,

but he's an independent player.

He's a big money raiser.

He introduced them to Brando.

Thank you for flying Pan Am.

- Hi. - Power to the people!

Yeah.

Power to the people!

Black is beautiful.

- Power to the people! - Power to the people!

Revolution. Black is beautiful.

Okay, then.

Miss Seberg, how 'bout a picture?

- Miss Seberg! - Big smile, please.

- Okay. - Thank you.

I think we're gonna head...

- Uh, uh... Jean. - Hey, Miss Seberg!

Jean. Yeah, not a good idea.

Jean! Come... Jean!

Do you have a statement regarding the recent protests?

- You identifying with radicals? - Jean, do you support...

Do you contribute to the Black Panther Party?

Do you support the cause, Miss Seberg?

Do you have a statement about the recent protests?

- Who's that? - Jean Seberg.

Some actress won a talent drive a few years back.

She's a big deal in France.

What's with the salute?

Just grabbing some free publicity.

And who knows?

Maybe she's got a taste for dark meat on the bone, huh?

Black Panthers?

That was dumb, Jean.

Press isn't your pet, something to play with.
