And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Jonathan Winters & Jack Klugman (1961). From the Twilight Zone episode "A Game of Pool."
This episode shares #1 for me with "The Hunt". Winters was a fine dramatic actors as well as a comedian. I can't watch "The Hunt" very often. It makes me cry. Jackie Gleason was another dramatic actor as well as a comedian.

ReplyDeleteThis episode is #3 for me. Walking Distance is #1. One for the Angels is #2.

DeleteIndeed. Knocked it out of the park, with no dialog.
DeleteAn excellent episode!
ReplyDeleteKlugman's schtick was always annoying.

ReplyDeletethey all wanna be.
DeletePaul Newman & Jackie Gleason in another genre, shootin' pool, were pretty good too
ReplyDelete"I had to say that" was a clever setup. Worked it in without spelling it out.
