The Friendly Stranger who lived in a car

FBI warning: Beware of Fools and Bungling Idiots

           From Washington Heights camera pans across Hudson River and stops at George Washington Bridge. Subliminal close-up of sign  CAMERA USE PROHIBITED. Camera moves to blue sky. “All persons are by nature free and independent, and have certain natural and unalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty, of acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and of pursuing and obtaining safety and happiness.”  “Article 1 Section 1 of NJ (and a majority of other) State Constitution(s)” [Appear in fluorescent orange letters one at a time,outlined in white, one at a time so readers don’t rush thru it, and remain.] Voiceover sings “Who could ask for anything more?”  Shot of Patriot Act, page one. Sound of gavel. CAMERA USE PROHIBITED sign flashing. Goes to black background, white letters “You’ve come a long way, baby” “cigarette advertisement”  Shot of Bridge.
Voiceover: “This is the most heavily traveled bridge in the country, possibly the world. I shot this before you coprocephaloids put up the sign. Does this make We the People part of a conspiracy who can be arrested for watching this? Pictures aren’t necessary to take down the bridge. A few keywords can explain how frighteningly easy it would be, and how to protect it. But if I tell you how to protect it, it’ll be obvious how to take it down, and you won’t bother to protect it, WILL YOU? Why ask me how?  I’m a college dropout. Ask Air Force General Benton Partin, who has over thirty years’ experience with high explosives. You wouldn’t let him investigate Oklahoma City and 9-11. Why not?  You coprocephaloids will continue to hassle people for carrying nail clippers onto airplanes, and deny pilots the Right to Carry and protect their passengers,won’t you?”
“Maybe we should be thinking about how to reduce terrs’ desire to take it down. If we gave away what we throw away, what we waste, and gave back what our economic hitmen have stolen, MAYBE the rest of the world wouldn’t hate us quite so much. Hundreds of millions of people don’t even have bicycles. [Shot of stretch limo.] During World War II you rode alone and you rode with Hitler. Now you ride alone and you ride with Osama. The demon J. Edgar Hoover brain-polluted you and conditioned you like Pavlov’s dogs. American xenophobes ride alone in gashog SUVs and alone in empty gashog pickup trucks, wasting billions and billions of gallons of gasoline in traffic jams, [shot of traffic jam] polluting the air. [shot of carbon monoxide meter] [Goes to black.]
Camera on dashboard of Turdmobile, pointing forward. Rainy night, wipers on, no trtaffic. Audio: People are Strange by the Doors. “Thanks, Jim. I know you’re out there. Tom said you phoned.” Parks. Voiceover: “Some evening, during the late primetime or the Late News, a Friendly Stranger may enter your neighborhood. In the morning he’ll be gone. You’ll never have known he was there. Meet a stealth sleeper.”  Title shot.
