Past simple

You just married into that family. Just by marrying the son of a bitch,

Modal verbs - A2

you got a car, a house; you don't have to work anymore.

You've got all of that for nothing. Is that right?

When you went to university, did you pay for it, or did your dad?

"Well, my dad paid for it." Then you got that for nothing,

but you don't want anybody else to get anything for nothing.

You people that were born in America inherit the railways.

They're all here. Automobiles are here. You didn't make the telephone.

Just being born here, you got all that for nothing.

We didn't have all the highways and all the things that are available.

So, I'm saying that we get a lot for nothing, just being born here.

Getting things for nothing is not bad; it doesn't hurt anybody,

and these people that are giant corporation owners get up

and say "All you people want things for nothing." When you die,

are you going to leave your money to research,

What the hell have they done for it? See what I mean?

Being born to very wealthy parents gives you a lot.

Mothers sometimes talk as though they engineered the child.

They shake their head "I gave it life and it bloomed."

They do nothing; just walk around, and 'clunk' out it comes,

has a brilliant time, and pretty soon the guy says

"You're gonna have a bright baby." "You're my son!",

like he made it. He went in the shop, and he sawed out the eyes

and molded them. He'd been in and gone, even farted and belched,

and didn't want the kid who would come along anyway.

Now, parents do nothing, unless they work on the kids:

unless they try to make you self-sufficient

and show you that they have problems, that sometimes they're wrong.

Sometimes they don't understand things. When parents talk like that they're terrific:

"Sure I've got problems occasionally, but I know how to handle them."

When a kid comes over and says "Are you the smartest daddy in the world?"

You say "I can tell you how far the moon is, how long it takes to get there.

I don't know where the hell I put my eyeglasses."

Now, you say the same thing "Was Einstein very smart?"

He could tell you how much the planets would vary in their orbit in 10,000 years,

couldn't find it; looked all day long for it.

One day, he had to lecture at one of the universities,

and he put on some baggy pants. A guy says

"You can't go and lecture with those pants."

He says "What's the matter with them? They're clean."

The guy says "There's no crease in them." He says "What's the crease for?

As long as you're wearing clean pants." Some asshole worked on a crease.

How can you go out without your hair done up a certain way?

I'm just telling you, people are brought up to be stupid, insane.

Another interesting thing about Einstein: he had an ordinary-looking house

and the goddam hedges were growing all over the place.

When he first moved in the neighbors were very mad.

"The goddam guy won't cut his hedges, and the grass is wild."

They all got mad, until they found out Einstein lived there.

Then they'd drive to their house "See those hedges? That's Einstein's house."

In other words, if Rockefeller, Howard Hughes wears a torn, dirty shirt,

farts and belches, they think "He's a millionaire; he's eccentric."

If you do it, you're a goddam bum, do you understand?

So these people up there that you admire are not much better than anybody else.

The kind of things most of you believe in are wrong. That's why you're in trouble,

but if you learn how to think about the world, in this way, in this sense:

that people are the products of their environment;

you can raise a dog full of hate or love; you can raise children

so they love people, but don't blame anyone for anything.

There will be no prisons in the world we talk about.

There will be no hatred, no jealousy. And I'll show you what love is.

If you are my wife and I'm in love with you, and you want to run off to the milkman,

I'll help you pack. Is that what you really want? I'll help you pack.

"You goddam two-timin' son of a bitch. I'll get a drink!"

You're going to get a drink? There's no problem solving; we get pissed off.

Because, if you want the milkman, it means that you don't want to be married to me.

Now, when you go off with the milkman, if I love you, I will help you pack.

And I say "Honey, why don't you take this paper toy. You've always liked that too."

Oh no, don't try to do that! You say "Well, why are you doing all these things?"

"Because I love you." That's what love is.

The other kind of shit: "You two-timin' cunt! [grumbling]",

and a normal person gets so fucking uptight that they don't know mercy.

[grumble] He drinks that shit, and it knocks him out.

Excuse me if I break any bones. A drunk, I swear to God, he comes in and says

"Move your ass, silly fuck. Move over." He could never say it sober.

"Move your fucking things over, piece of shit." He gets temporary relief.

Let me tell you, if that guy that's so uptight didn't drink,

he'd crash man, you know what I mean? So he goes to AA.

Everybody gets up and confesses. "I've lost my home, I lost my car,

and I lost my job. I stopped drinking now.

I've been sober two weeks." You know the guy I mean, don't you?

"I want my family back." That's bullshit: same old.

The only thing they have in AA, is just a lot of people standing around with the same story.

They forgive each other. Normal people don't forgive.

When a guy says "I'm through with drinking. I've had it.

I lost my home. I'm gonna be sober." The guy takes him in the house.
