The Responsibility Project®. Exploring what it means to do the right thing

Tuesday Feb 07


This is a transcript of the film, included for screen readers and the visually impaired.

Oh, you took the big shovel.

Now the trucks going all the way around.

Look at that! Look at those tracks.

Now the truck needs to turn around.

[cell phone rings]

Hello.

Yes, I am in the car.

I'll be there in 10 or 15. I will.

You're not in the car.

Because I know you love when I tell you stories, don't you? Come here, you.

You know what I just realized?

What?

You have never beaten me.

I don't want to embarrass you.

Embarrass me? You wish.

Let's race!

You suck!

[Loud bang]

[Brakes screech]

[Crows like a chicken. Laughter]

[phone rings] Hello.

Ben!

Come on, chicken! Ha!

Well I'm looking forward to it as well.

I worked very hard on it, I'm glad you liked it.

Ben. Stop!

[Laughter] Come on, chicken!

Come on, stop!

Well it was a pleasure talking to you too.

Thank you.

How about a signal?

[Loud crash. Brakes screech]

Oh god.

Hey are you okay? We'll get you some help, okay?

911 emergency.

Is he alright? -I donít know.

Little boy. Eleven, twelve years old.

What happened?

Thank you, please hurry.

Help is on the way.

Sir!

He came out of nowhere.

Where were you going that was so damn important?!

Did you not go over the speed bump back there?

I've called the police. [Sirens]

You saw it! You saw it, didn't ya?

Hey wait! Wait a minute!

Hey!

Did he see it?

All you care about is your alibi.

You'll be okay buddy.

I'm not going to talk to you anymore. You're not even listening to me.

That guy, he was speeding, he came flying at this boy.

Okay, is this your son?

No sir, he was riding his bike.

Calm down, just relax please.

People come speeding down this street all the time.

I will get to you. Mam, be quiet.

Mam, let him take care of it.

I was behind the van.

Have you been drinking sir?

No, I have not been drinking.

Sir step over to my car.

You don't need to pull on me.

Sir turn around and put your hands behind your back. -Hey, wait a minute!

All you have to do is cooperate.

Is this really necessary?

We've got a 128.

See if you can get- He hasn't been able to say his last name though.

You saw what happened, didn't you?

That man, was he driving like, crazy fast?

No.

I- I tried to stop him. I should have stopped him.

Stop, Ben!

He's my best friend

    I was impressed to see something positive for a change. They were all good in showing that there is alot of good in the world if we would just show more of it instead of all the bad all the time. Good work! It really helped pick up my day. thanks!

      Sorry-just too darned "soft".There is no impact-nothing to make you sit up and take notice...no jarring note to make one scene different from the other or , to put it another way, it's too bland. Smiles should be BIG smiles and crying should be REALLY unhappy cries.The premise is very good, but, I believe, needs to be more dramatic to have an impact on the viewers

        How dramatic are you daily? Very real, sad having to say that is the way it generally is now.

    I would like to say, bicycling is not just enjoy time. We need to put responsible for our life, our family and the third persons. I did not hear the voice of whole story, because of electronic`s work broblem with computer. But everybody should learn to know more and more about resposibility. I just had have the example, the boyfriend of my daughter just had the excident 4 days ago with the bicycle. His arm and his leg were broken. The ankle, sholder and head are in scrack and hurt. Goodluck that his brain still ok. But it give a lot of pressure and worry with 2 families. So, learning to know about responsibility is very important.

    I came across this website with the video clips and almost deleted it as junk mail. Thought you might enjoy some of them. I've only seen three, which were all good. The "Sound I saw" is sad" 'cause you don't want to see the hurt, however Liberty Mutual presented it well, and it served the purpose intended. From all I see, so far, their idea is to broaden awareness of ethical decisions, and the impact of good and bad decisions all around us. Enjoy.

    During these stressful economic times, which I believe are centered around greed and which we are teaching other countries entering capitalism, it is all too easy to become cynical and join in on success being mesured strictly by the "bottom line." This myopia fails to differentiate between short and long term goals/profits and the reward of being responsible, doing what is right, customer service, responsiblity in all we do, treating each other with dignity and respect and basic integrity. Liberty Mutual's Responsibility Project should be a must in all educational institutions and employee orientations with mandatory periodic review and renewal. This Project is so vitally important to all. No matter what our background or nationally may be, the messages here are clear, thought provoking and issues we all need to consider on a daily basis. I applaud your work and thank you for making it available.

    its scary to see something like that happen and how people somtimes argue and then get overwhelmed and carried away.This film though shows a lot of points and proves them like don't drink, talk on the phone,or anything like that.

    i think cellphones in cars should be banned 100%, driving is one of the most hazardous things to do, why add something that does not enhance or improve safety in any way? do the actuaries take any notice to our comments. However, i ask was this incident avoidable? 50/50. would a prudent driver make a difference here? 50?50 everyone is right and everyone is wrong.
