[00:00.000] Czolgosz:
[00:00.875] It takes a lot of men to make a gun
[00:06.345] Hundreds
[00:07.938] Many men to make a gun
[00:13.257] Men in the mines to dig the iron
[00:16.189] Men in the mills to forge the steel
[00:19.451] Men at machines to turn the barrel
[00:22.378] Mold the trigger, shape the wheel
[00:24.908] It takes a lot of men to make a gun…
[00:29.946] One gun…
[00:33.267] Booth:
[00:34.355] And all you have to do
[00:36.146] Is move your little finger
[00:40.141] Move your little finger and
[00:43.476] (clicks the trigger)
[00:44.550] You can change the world
[00:47.285] Why should you be blue?
[00:49.490] When you've your little finger?
[00:53.682] Prove how just a little finger
[00:56.994] Can change the world.
[01:02.041] Guiteau:
[01:04.022] What a wonder is a gun!
[01:06.271] What a versatile invention!
[01:08.260] First of all, when you've a gun
[01:09.680] (He points the gun out front, slowly panning over the audience)
[01:11.797] Everybody pays attention!
[01:13.807] When you think what must be done
[01:15.972] Think of all that it can do:
[01:18.888] Remove a scoundrel
[01:20.966] Unite a party
[01:23.078] Preserve the union
[01:25.133] Promote the sales of my book
[01:29.398] Insure my future
[01:31.844] My niche in history
[01:36.108] And then the world will see
[01:39.924] That I am not a man to overlook!
[01:42.824] Ha-ha!
[01:48.535] Moore:
[01:49.466] I got this really great gun
[01:51.258] Shit, where is it?
[01:52.383] No, it's really great
[01:53.634] Wait! Shit, where is it?
[01:55.333] Anyway, it's just a .38
[01:57.239] But—it's a gun,
[01:58.895] You can make a statement
[02:00.525] (Pulls out a shoe)
[02:01.217] Wrong!
[02:01.937] With a gun
[02:02.351] Even if you fail
[02:04.952] It tells 'em who you are
[02:06.020] Where you stand
[02:07.119] This one was on sale
[02:08.470] It—
[02:08.814] No, not the shoe—
[02:10.018] Well, actually the shoe was, too.
[02:12.123] No, that's not it
[02:12.997] Shit, I had it here
[02:14.840] Got it!
[02:15.768] (Pulls her gun out)
[02:16.477] Yeah! There it is!
[02:21.310] And
[02:21.903] All:
[02:22.436] All you have to do
[02:24.387] Is crook your little finger
[02:29.050] Hook your little finger 'round—
[02:32.820] Moore:
[02:33.810] Shit, I shot it . . .
[02:35.168] Others:
[02:35.923] You can change the world.
[02:39.990] Simply follow through
[02:42.638] And look, your little finger
[02:47.487] Can slow them down
[02:50.266] To a crawl
[02:51.995] Show them all
[02:54.108] Big and small
[02:55.834] It took a little finger
[02:59.623] No time
[03:02.306] To change the world.
[03:12.333] Czolgosz:
[03:13.454] A gun kills many men before it's done
[03:18.800] Hundreds
[03:20.340] Long before you shoot the gun
[03:26.025] Men in the mines
[03:26.840] And in the steel mills
[03:28.621] Men at machines
[03:29.998] Who died for what?
[03:31.778] Something to buy
[03:32.877] A watch, a shoe, a gun,
[03:34.658] A "thing" to make the bosses richer
[03:37.115] But a gun claims many men before it's done
[03:44.781] Just one more…

[00:00.000] (无政府主义者,他认为美国社会不公、贫富差距大的原因在于政府结构。1901年9月6日刺杀了美国总统威廉·麦金莱)
[00:00.875] 制造一把枪需要很多人
[00:06.345] 成百上千的人
[00:07.938] 才能制成一把枪
[00:13.257] 需要有人从矿井中挖出铁矿
[00:16.189] 有人在工厂里锻造出钢铁
[00:19.451] 有人站在机器旁打磨出枪管
[00:22.378] 铸造扳机,塑出转轮
[00:24.908] 这么多人才能造出一把枪…
[00:29.946] 仅仅是一把枪…
[00:33.267] (美国舞台演员,因同情南部联邦,1865年4月14日在刺杀了美国总统亚伯拉罕·林肯)
[00:34.355] 而你需要做的只是
[00:36.146] 动一动你小小的手指头
[00:40.141] 动一动你小小的手指头,然后
[00:43.476] (扣动扳机)
[00:44.550] 就能改变世界。
[00:47.285] 为何你要灰心丧气
[00:49.490] 明明你拥有这根小小的手指?
[00:53.682] 去向他们证明,这根小小的指头
[00:56.994] 就能改变整个世界
[01:02.041] (申请前往巴黎或奥地利担任领事职位被拒绝,于 1881 年刺杀了美国总统詹姆斯·加菲尔德,出版过一本名为《真相》的书)
[01:04.022] 枪真是个奇迹!
[01:06.271] 如此万能的发明!
[01:08.260] 首先,只要你有一支枪
[01:09.680] (他将枪指向观众,缓缓地在观众席上扫过。)
[01:11.797] 每个人都会注意你!
[01:13.807] 当你认为该采取行动的时候
[01:15.972] 就想想它能够做什么:
[01:18.888] 除掉恶棍
[01:20.966] 团结党派
[01:23.078] 保卫联邦
[01:25.133] 提高我作品的销量
[01:29.398] 保障我的未来
[01:31.844] 我的历史地位
[01:36.108] 然后世界会明白
[01:39.924] 我不是可以忽视的人!
[01:42.824] 哈哈!
[01:48.535] (1975 年试图暗杀美国总统杰拉尔德·福特,她使用的枪是当天早上匆忙买的,她并不熟悉,有媒体认为这是刺杀失败的主要原因。舞台上本段她一直在翻找自己的包。)
[01:49.466] 我有把很棒的枪
[01:51.258] 该死,放哪儿了?
[01:52.383] 不,它真的很棒
[01:53.634] 等等!该死,在哪儿?
[01:55.333] 总之,就是一把点38
[01:57.239] 不过好歹也是把枪
[01:58.895] 你能用它表达你的态度
[02:00.525] (拿出一只鞋)
[02:01.217] 错了!
[02:01.937] 有枪的话
[02:02.351] 就算你失败了
[02:04.952] 它也能告诉他们你是谁
[02:06.020] 站在什么立场
[02:07.119] 这把枪买得便宜,正在打折
[02:08.470] 它——
[02:08.814] 不,我说的不是鞋子——
[02:10.018] 不过鞋子当时也在打折。
[02:12.123] 不对,这个不是
[02:12.997] 该死,我明明放在这里面了
[02:14.840] 找到了!
[02:15.768] (拿出枪)
[02:16.477] 是的!就是这个!
[02:21.310] 然后
[02:21.903] 所有人:
[02:22.436] 你只需要做一件事
[02:24.387] 弯弯你的小手指
[02:29.050] 用你的小指头圈住——
[02:32.820] Moore:
[02:33.810] 操,我打出去了
[02:35.168] 其他人:
[02:35.923] 你就能改变世界
[02:39.990] 只要简单跟随这些步骤
[02:42.638] 看,只要你的小手指
[02:47.487] 就能让他们慢下来
[02:50.266] 像爬行一样慢
[02:51.995] 让他们看清一切
[02:54.108] 无论大小
[02:55.834] 只要一根小手指
[02:59.623] 用不了多少时间
[03:02.306] 就能改变整个世界
[03:12.333] Czolgosz:
[03:13.454] 一把枪在完成之前就已经杀死了很多人
[03:18.800] 成百上千的人
[03:20.340] 在你扣动扳机之前就已经死去
[03:26.025] 矿井里的人
[03:26.840] 和机械厂里的工人
[03:28.621] 机器旁的人
[03:29.998] 他们是谁,又为何死去?
[03:31.778] 就为了一些商品
[03:32.877] 一块表,一双鞋,一把枪,
[03:34.658] 那些让有钱有势的老板们更富有的“东西”
[03:37.115] 既然一把枪在制成之前就已经杀死了那么多人
[03:44.781] 不妨再多一个
