Give us this day our television, and an automobile, but deliver us from freedom.

Godard’s line parodies the Lord’s Prayer (“Give us this day our daily bread… deliver us from evil”) to satirize consumer society’s substitution of material comforts and mass media for genuine autonomy. By asking for “television” and “an automobile” while pleading to be “deliver[ed]… from freedom,” the speaker exposes a desire to trade the burdens of choice, responsibility, and political agency for distraction, convenience, and managed life. The phrasing fits Godard’s broader critique of bourgeois modernity: images and commodities become a new liturgy, and citizens may come to fear freedom because it demands thought and action rather than passive consumption.
