[12:54.23]”I was just a soldier, following orders, pushing the buttons”
[12:59.09]And no, I don’t wash my hands of the whole thing, I-
[13:05.15]My hands are really fucking dirty, but what do you say after you’ve said what you’ve said?
[13:11.66](Can we live with the hub?)

[13:24.69]He was just working there!
[13:28.31]Just trying, at all costs, just to-
[13:32.21](It’s the Nuremberg trials, shut up!)
[13:35.82]Just to live with the hub
[13:38.39]Just to work there!
[13:45.27]I mean, I-, I-, I know-
[13:48.13]I don’t feel bad at all about the, you know, the scars that I may have caused
[13:54.84]You know, and I was responsible for the whiskey riots, but, um
[14:00.96](Objection! Objection!)
[14:04.21]Well, I’m just being truthful here
[14:07.41](You’re a god)
[14:08.74]Hahahaha
[14:13.30]I don’t want to be God
[14:15.45](Turn the reverb down!)
[14:16.12]Okay
[14:17.28](Turn the reverb down!)
[14:18.61]I don’t care
[14:21.94]My client is not
[14:27.92]Is not of sound mind at the moment
[14:31.63]That’s not true
[14:32.42]I’m of very sound mind
[14:34.04]I was of sound mind when I pushed the buttons
[14:36.18]When I pushed the faders
[14:38.30]When I blew up the world
[14:40.39]I-, I-, I knew what I was getting into
[14:42.78]It’s just that…
[14:43.45]I’m afraid my client is not of sound mind
[14:45.85]He doesn’t know quite what he’s saying
[14:47.59]He, um, had nothing to do with blowing up the world
[14:50.45]He only makes the music for (Shut up!) Black Flag
[14:54.91]Um, if, gentlemen…
[14:58.90]Ladies and gentlemen of the jury
[15:01.25]If you think that by mixing the music for Black Flag
[15:06.62](And the commercials) And the commercials
[15:09.02]Which admittedly were a bit obnoxious to say the least
[15:14.34]Were, um, had anything to do with the world being made radioactive at this point
[15:24.49]Then…
[15:26.35]I mean, we’re all cancerous
[15:30.08]We’re all gonna die
[15:31.44]We all knew that when we were born
[15:33.04](No we’re not!)
[15:33.10](We’d used to live like Gloria Vanderbilt)
[15:37.30]I’d rather be cancerous
[15:42.66]Uh, what the hell, this is Harold Sfinkel saying, uh
[15:45.74]Now that you heard the record why don’t you go out and buy it now?
[15:49.72]I mean we got this Black Flag thing and the commercials coming at you
[15:54.03]And it’s like we’re kind of like closing the door on the past
[15:57.57]What do you think about that theory, Dad?
[15:59.65]Hahaha, well, I’ll tell you son
[16:01.96]You know, this uh, this Black Flag stuff reminds of when
[16:04.81]Back in the ’30s, hahaha, I used to record live remotes, hahaha
[16:09.76]Like your Tommy Dorseys and your Duke Ellingtons, hahaha
[16:12.40]Your Dwight Eisenhowers and all those guys, hahaha!
[16:16.50]Yeah what the hell
[16:17.87]I guess it must’ve been pretty fun back in those days
[16:19.78]Eh, Dad?
[16:20.88]Yeah!
[16:21.73]I tell ya, they really dropped the real bombs back then!
[16:24.73]Haha, and I caught ’em all! Haha
[16:27.17]But I tell ya, you know, this Black Flag stuff is like, uh
[16:30.46]The best stuff I’ve been into, y’know?
[16:32.55]Yeah, uh, like me too, uh, hey, wow
[16:36.26]Like gelatinous and all that stuff like my nose is healed and, uh
[16:40.21]What the hell, you know, like the music’s got your power
[16:42.96]It’s got like pizzazz, it’s got your drive, it’s got your edge
[16:47.59]It’s got your poon tang, son, don’t forget about your poon tang!
[16:50.76]Hahaha, poon tang is what it’s all about, son!
[16:53.55]And they just hook me up with some of that good 40 year old stuff
[16:57.43]And I’m gonna go in the garage with it, hahaha, right now
[17:01.04]And we’re gonna shut the door with it, and, everything else, hahaha
[17:04.50]C’mon honey, how about a blow job?
[17:07.18]Me too, what the hell
