Komanso Rocca sakanatha kuzindikira Jody Williams (wopambana mphotho ya Nobel pantchito yake ndi ma landmine), kapena Jeannette Rankin (mayi woyamba kusankhidwa ku Congress, ndipo yekhayo amene adavota motsutsana ndi kutenga nawo mbali ku America pankhondo zonse zapadziko lonse).
"Mo, usakhumudwe," adatero McCarthy. “Nthawi zonse zimakhala ndalama zotetezeka. Nthawi zonse ndimadalira maphunziro aku America! ”

Rocca adafunsa, "Zatheka bwanji kuti usakhale wansembe?"
"Sindinakonde kukoma kwa vinyo," McCarthy adaseka.
Kuyitana kwake, kunapezeka, kunali utolankhani. Mu 1969 adayamba kulembera Washington Post, komwe adafunsa mafunso ndikupanga chibwenzi ndi ambiri mwa omwe anali odziwika bwino mwamtendere m'zaka za m'ma 20.
Anauza omvera kuti, "Ndimalandira makalata angapo mlungu uliwonse kuchokera kwa owerenga m'dziko lonselo, amanditcha wopusa, wosasamala, wosadziwa kanthu ... kenako ndimawerenga makalata anga olakwika."
Koma musalole kuti kusangalala kwake kukupusitseni. McCarthy ndichachidziwikire kuti amatsutsana ndi ziwawa zomwe amationa.

Alibe galimoto; m'malo mwake amapalasa njinga kuti agwire ntchito. “Ndili ndi mbali yakuda pang'ono kwa ine, Mo, yokhudza njinga yanga, ndimayikonda pakakhala kuchuluka kwa magalimoto. Pamenepo iwo ali, akungoipitsa mpweya. Ndipo ine ndikuwomba mphepo mpaka kupyola. Ndipo kwa masekondi angapo ndadziona kuti ndine wapamwamba kuposa ena onse! ”

Kalasi la McCarthy lilibe mayeso ndipo silimaliza. "Amawona ziwawa zam'makalasi zam'makalasi," adatero Villacis.
Rocca anafunsa, "Kodi mungavomereze?"
“Ndingavomereze!” adaseka.
Rocca anafunsa McCarthy, "Maphunziro amtendere, ndiye kuyitanidwa kwanu m'moyo?"
“Chabwino, kuyitanidwa kwanga m'moyo ndikuti ndikhale mwamuna wabwino komanso bambo wachikondi komanso mwamuna wokonda. Ndikuganiza kuti choyamba chimabwera. ”

"Mtendere uyambira kunyumba?" Adafunsa Rocca.
"Inde, ndendende."
Ngakhale kuti kalasi ya Colman McCarthy ilibe mayeso kapena magiredi, amatumiza ophunzira ake kunyumba ndi gawo limodzi lofunikira: “Kalasi lirilonse, ndimati, 'Ntchito yanu yochitira kunyumba ndi kuuza munthu amene mumamukonda lero.
