High and Higher

Manson: I’ve been in jail, uh prison, uh a long time. All my life. I was raised up in here, so I understand jail so I understand myself so I can deal with that. I sit in my cell and do my number like a convict does his number.
Tom : You like jail don’t you?
Manson: I uh, don’t dislike or like.
Tom: Let’s go back to 1967, the time you were winding up serving a term of a number of years, ten years, and written accounts indicate that you told the authorities “Don’t let me out, I can’t cope with the outside world.” Do you have a recollection of that? And do you…
Manson: You’re making a desperate plea out of something, man. There’s no desperate plea out of it. I said I can’t handle the maniacs outside, let me back in.
Tom: I didn’t use the word desperate, that’s your word Charles.
Manson: Yeah, well, your inflection and your voice tones were, uh, implications there.
Tom: Well, uh, You use the word maniacs on the outside. How are you different from the maniacs on the outside, and why do you call them maniacs? Because you know something? They think you’re one.
Manson: Yeah, it would reflect. If you hold a negative up to the light, you don’t see the light you just see the negative. So I’m a reflection of your negative, there’s no doubt about that and I can handle that also. I been handling ain‘t I?.
Tom: I don’t know have you?
Manson: Well, I’ve been up and down in these damn hallways, in and out of these nut wards for the last ten years. You think you can follow that act?
Tom: Don’t want to follow that act, I don’t want to get in, why do you want to get into that?
Manson: What crowd you playing for?
Tom: Huh?
Manson: I’m playing for my life. (chuckles) You’re working for money.
