Make It Right

Yorke and Matt in the kitchen. Afternoon. June.

Yorke: And-- I think that’s the way these priests are.

Pause.

Yorke: They’re nuts!

Matt: They are. They’re (mumbles)…

Yorke: They can’t find the bottom because they feel obligated to agree that they believe, but they really really don’t. (pause) You know what I mean?... And it becomes more than just a façade after awhile. It becomes like this dual personality…

Matt: Right.

Yorke: All the sudden…

Matt: Dr. Jekkyl and Mr. Hyde.

Yorke: Yeah. All of these guys, not just… one or two.

That’s why this so called “peace process” has been going on since 1948 (pause). That’s been going on since the first day they fuckin’-

Matt: Well yeah…

Yorke: ...took over. Since Truman…

Matt: Meaning, by peace, meaning suppressing the…

Yorke: It’s means, like, when you sue a big company because they totally fucked you over and instead of saying “You’re wrong” they just keep…

Matt: Giving you money.

Yorke: ”Justice delayed is justice denied.” Have you ever heard that? That says a lot in four words. That’s almost- I, I wonder what that is in Latin. It probably sounds really cool…It’s it’s true. And it’s their- it’s what they do. They know that—Like, for example, in this Exxon Valdez situation, 20 percent of the people who sued them are now dead, and they still haven’t gotten a fucking dime.
