Bobtalk

September 15, 1991
West Hollywood, Los Angeles, California
KCOP-TV Studios
Benefit - L'Chaim! To Life! (Chabad telethon)

Bob: What do you want me to say?

Rabbi Shlomo Boruch Cunin: Help to give back the books.

Bob: Oh, yeah, give back the books, and give plenty of money to Chabad, It's my favourite organisation in the whole world, really. They do nothing but good things with all the money, and-a the more you can give, the more it's going to help everybody.

Rabbi Shlomo Boruch Cunin: I wanna say something, Bob, if I might. I think the people out there, millions of people that are watching us, that heard us talk about the cry of these books. These are books that have suffered for seventy years behind those bars of the Lenin library. Mr. Gorbachev had said he's going to give it back, Mr. Yeltsin says he's gonna give them back, everybody says he's going to give it back. Bob, tell them to give it back!

Bob: Yeah, give it back! Give the books back!

Rabbi Shlomo Boruch Cunin: OK, if Bob Dylan says they'll give it back, they'll give it back! … Please go to your phones and call and call and call. Bob, tell them what to do.

Rabbi Shlomo Boruch Cunin: God bless you, Bob, a healthy and happy new year! Let's have a big hand for Bob Dylan!

Rabbi Shlomo Boruch Cunin: Very important ladies and gentlemen, we have here dear friends of mine whom you saw before, the illustrious, the wonderful Bob Dylan and Kinky Friedman!

Bob Dylan: Call and call and call some more until you get somebody to answer - and give what you can. and thanks for inviting me down here.
