-
Now, who is next?
-
Mr. Anderson, I see you're sitting there
in agony.
-
Come on, Todd, step up.
-
Let's put you out of your misery.
-
>> I didn't do it, I didn't write a poem.
-
Mr. Anderson thinks that everything inside
of him his worthless and embarrassing.
-
Isn't that right, Todd? That's your
worst fear?
-
Well, I think you're wrong.
-
I think you have something inside of you
that is worth a great deal.
-
I sound my barbaric YAWP
-
over the rooftops
-
of the world.
-
W.W. Uncle Walt again!
-
Now, for those of you who don't know, a
yawp is a loud cry or yell.
-
Now, Todd, I would like you to give us a
demonstration of a barbaric yawp.
-
Come on, you can't yawp sitting down.
-
Let's go, come on, up!
-
Now get in yawping stance.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
>> A yawp.
-
>> No! Not just a yawp.
A barbaric yawp.
-
>> Yawp.
-
>> Come on, louder.
-
>> Yawp.
-
>> Oh, that's a mouse.
Come on, louder.
-
>> Yawp.
-
>> Oh, good god, boy, come on, yell!
>> Yawp!
-
>> There it is.
-
You see, there's a barbarian in you after
all.
-
Now, you won't get away that easy.
-
There's a picture of uncle Walt up there.
-
What does he remind you of?
Don't think, answer.
-
A, a mad man.
-
>> What kind of mad man?
Don't think about it!
-
Just answer again.
-
>> A crazy man.
-
>> No, you can do better than that.
-
Clear up your mind, use your imagination.
-
Say the first thing that pops into your
head, even if it's total gibberish.
-
>> Well, a sweaty-toothed madman.
-
>> Good god, boy, there's a poet in you
after all.
-
There.
Close your eyes.
-
Close your eyes.
Close 'em.
-
Now, describe what you see.
-
>> I, I closed my eyes.
-
>> Yes.
>> And his image floats beside me.
-
>> A sweaty-toothed mad man.
-
>> A sweaty toothed mad man, with a stare
that pounds my brain.
-
>> Oh, that's excellent.
-
Now give him action, make him do
something.
-
>> His hands reach out and choke me.
-
>> That's it, wonderful, wonderful.
-
>> And all the time he's mumbling.
-
>> What's he mumbling?
-
>> Mumbling truth, truth, but like, like a
blanket that always leaves your feet cold.
-
[LAUGH]
>> Forget them, forget them!
-
Stay with the blanket, tell me about that
blanket.
-
>> You, you push it, stretch it, it'll
never be enough.
-
You kick at it, beat it, it'll never cover
any of us.
-
From the moment we enter crying to the
moment we leave dying,
-
it'll just cover your face as you wail and
cry and scream.
-
>> Don't you forget this.
