1
00:00:46,344 --> 00:00:48,548
Larry! Jimmy!
2
00:02:15,275 --> 00:02:16,965
That's very good.
3
00:02:17,034 --> 00:02:19,751
- How much is it?
- Two dollars.
4
00:02:31,147 --> 00:02:32,837
There's one.
5
00:02:35,115 --> 00:02:36,970
There's two.
6
00:02:39,884 --> 00:02:41,258
Thank you.
7
00:03:10,508 --> 00:03:13,323
It's locked.
He's in there again.
8
00:03:14,637 --> 00:03:16,393
Pa!
9
00:03:16,461 --> 00:03:19,331
What are you doin' in there?
Open up this door!
10
00:03:19,405 --> 00:03:21,892
You'd better not be doin'
what I think you're doin'!
11
00:03:24,685 --> 00:03:29,092
I told you I make that for peddlin',
not for you to drink.
12
00:03:29,164 --> 00:03:31,019
You show some respect.
13
00:03:38,029 --> 00:03:39,404
Larry! Jimmy!
14
00:03:39,469 --> 00:03:42,284
Y'all get on to the house!
Supper's ready!
15
00:03:52,846 --> 00:03:54,734
Why'd you hit him?
16
00:03:54,798 --> 00:03:56,708
He was drinkin' my profits.
17
00:03:56,782 --> 00:03:58,637
Can't be so ornery.
18
00:03:58,703 --> 00:03:59,913
People think you're crazy.
19
00:04:01,583 --> 00:04:04,397
I'm just tryin' to make
an honest buck.
20
00:04:09,486 --> 00:04:10,860
Hello, walls
21
00:04:13,359 --> 00:04:17,515
How'd things go
for you today
22
00:04:19,119 --> 00:04:20,461
Don't you miss her
23
00:04:22,991 --> 00:04:27,366
Since she upped
and walked away
24
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:32,971
And I'll bet you dread
to spend another
25
00:04:33,039 --> 00:04:35,276
Lonely night with me
26
00:04:35,343 --> 00:04:37,198
Don't call me at work.
27
00:04:39,950 --> 00:04:41,030
Larry.
28
00:04:41,102 --> 00:04:42,957
I'll call you back, Mama.
29
00:04:44,623 --> 00:04:45,932
Give a big hand...
30
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,007
to Alanis...
31
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:50,861
from Ottawa, Tennessee.
32
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,200
Thank you, Jimmy.
33
00:04:56,271 --> 00:04:58,857
I don't know if you feel
the way I do right now...
34
00:04:58,928 --> 00:05:02,987
but we deliver the finest ladies
in Southern Ohio.
35
00:05:03,056 --> 00:05:04,431
Don't you think?
36
00:05:05,905 --> 00:05:06,952
Thank you.
37
00:05:07,024 --> 00:05:11,018
And now, please give
a warm, warm welcome...
38
00:05:11,089 --> 00:05:14,633
to Kimberley and Melissa.
39
00:05:14,703 --> 00:05:18,566
They're all the way here
from Paris and London... Kentucky.
40
00:05:33,296 --> 00:05:34,671
So, how we doin'?
41
00:05:35,825 --> 00:05:37,647
Bad.
42
00:05:37,713 --> 00:05:40,615
- What do you mean, "bad"?
- I mean, we're broke.
43
00:05:40,689 --> 00:05:42,544
How can we be broke, Larry?
44
00:05:42,609 --> 00:05:44,464
These giveaways are killing us.
45
00:05:44,529 --> 00:05:46,155
The limousine.
46
00:05:46,226 --> 00:05:49,422
The smorgasbord
was a stupid idea.
47
00:05:49,489 --> 00:05:52,555
Then all your buddies are comin' in here
every night, drinkin' for free.
48
00:05:52,625 --> 00:05:54,535
Don't bring my friends
into this.
49
00:05:56,049 --> 00:05:57,162
Hey, ladies.
50
00:05:57,234 --> 00:05:59,176
Hey, Larry.
We're ready to go.
51
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,065
You put forth some hard work.
Thank you.
52
00:06:03,954 --> 00:06:07,664
Alanis, I'll be by in an hour,
and I'll bring the Ping-Pong balls.
53
00:06:07,730 --> 00:06:08,940
Patricia...
54
00:06:09,010 --> 00:06:11,280
I'II see you in two hours.
55
00:06:12,306 --> 00:06:15,601
I liked the way
you blew that candle out tonight.
56
00:06:17,331 --> 00:06:19,240
You know,
there's the secret.
57
00:06:19,315 --> 00:06:23,538
If we could just somehow let people
know what great lays these girls are...
58
00:06:23,603 --> 00:06:25,609
we'd have something.
59
00:06:26,930 --> 00:06:29,418
Larry, you can't advertise that.
60
00:06:30,931 --> 00:06:32,785
I know you can't, but...
61
00:06:38,963 --> 00:06:40,905
Mister, what kind
of business is this?
62
00:06:40,979 --> 00:06:45,835
I run the Hustler go-go clubs.
I'm sure you've heard of 'em.
63
00:06:47,187 --> 00:06:50,700
Well, see, that's why
I need a newsletter.
64
00:06:50,771 --> 00:06:54,569
I figured we'd run maybe
eight, ten pages per issue.
65
00:06:54,644 --> 00:06:57,579
With nothing but nudie pictures?
66
00:06:57,652 --> 00:07:00,238
Yeah, on this...
67
00:07:00,308 --> 00:07:01,965
nice, smooth paper.
68
00:07:02,035 --> 00:07:04,010
- That's called slick.
- Slick. Yeah.
69
00:07:04,084 --> 00:07:07,826
But I could get in trouble
printing these.
70
00:07:07,891 --> 00:07:08,873
Why?
71
00:07:08,947 --> 00:07:11,403
Because there are laws.
72
00:07:11,475 --> 00:07:15,087
You gotta have some sort of text,
like Playboy does.
73
00:07:17,652 --> 00:07:20,784
God will punish the sinner!
74
00:07:24,245 --> 00:07:27,823
Thank y'all for coming
to my establishment...
75
00:07:27,893 --> 00:07:30,927
and keep in mind,
we welcome Christians in here too.
76
00:07:30,997 --> 00:07:32,852
We don't want your kind here!
77
00:07:32,917 --> 00:07:36,114
How many times
78
00:07:36,181 --> 00:07:40,108
Have you heard someone say
79
00:07:41,588 --> 00:07:44,556
If I had his money
80
00:07:46,069 --> 00:07:49,069
I could do things my way
81
00:07:49,141 --> 00:07:50,570
What do you think?
82
00:07:50,645 --> 00:07:53,133
How much did it cost?
83
00:07:54,229 --> 00:07:57,044
Would you forget the money
for one second?
84
00:07:57,109 --> 00:07:58,702
What do you think?
85
00:07:58,773 --> 00:08:01,140
That depends on
how much it cost.
86
00:08:01,974 --> 00:08:04,014
Look, there it is.
87
00:08:04,086 --> 00:08:06,769
The first Hustler newsletter.
88
00:08:06,838 --> 00:08:10,068
It's all for the man on the go,
the man about town.
89
00:08:10,135 --> 00:08:14,160
- News service, pictures...
- It's a magazine, not a newsletter.
90
00:08:14,229 --> 00:08:16,302
How you gonna pay for that?
91
00:08:18,486 --> 00:08:21,169
Don't interrupt me
when I'm talking.
92
00:08:21,238 --> 00:08:24,086
Let's hear it for Camille.
You were wonderful, Camille.
93
00:08:24,150 --> 00:08:28,012
Welcome to the stage now, gentlemen,
Calamity Jane from Moscow, Texas.
94
00:08:28,086 --> 00:08:29,515
Let's hear it for her.
95
00:08:34,775 --> 00:08:37,841
Hang on, Sloopy
96
00:08:37,911 --> 00:08:40,050
Sloopy, hang on
97
00:08:50,647 --> 00:08:52,141
Sloopy lives
98
00:08:52,215 --> 00:08:55,990
In a very bad part of town
99
00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:01,268
And everybody, yeah
100
00:09:01,335 --> 00:09:03,757
Tries to put my Sloopy down
101
00:09:06,712 --> 00:09:09,462
Sloopy, I don't care
102
00:09:09,528 --> 00:09:11,765
What your daddy do
103
00:09:11,832 --> 00:09:13,687
Who is that?
104
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,684
That's the new girl.
105
00:09:17,752 --> 00:09:19,607
She got the moves, don't she?
106
00:09:20,888 --> 00:09:24,335
And so I sing out
Hang on, Sloopy
107
00:09:24,408 --> 00:09:26,263
She ain't bad.
108
00:09:27,672 --> 00:09:30,542
- She ain't legal either.
- Yes, she is. I saw her I. D.
109
00:09:31,896 --> 00:09:35,606
Look, you stupid briar-hopper,
my dog could get an I. D...
110
00:09:35,673 --> 00:09:37,200
from my goat.
111
00:09:50,714 --> 00:09:53,583
Hey, uh, listen.
112
00:09:53,658 --> 00:09:57,204
When she gets done up there,
send her up to my office.
113
00:10:02,554 --> 00:10:04,496
Sloopy, let your hair down, girl
114
00:10:05,434 --> 00:10:07,573
Let it hang down on me
115
00:10:12,826 --> 00:10:14,931
What's your name?
116
00:10:15,898 --> 00:10:17,142
Jane.
117
00:10:18,810 --> 00:10:21,047
We have a policy in this club.
118
00:10:21,722 --> 00:10:23,216
Oh, yeah?
119
00:10:24,250 --> 00:10:25,657
Okay. And?
120
00:10:26,811 --> 00:10:29,626
The trouble is,
I have a sneaking suspicion...
121
00:10:29,691 --> 00:10:32,626
that you're not... of age.
122
00:10:35,290 --> 00:10:37,680
This could cost me
my liquor license.
123
00:10:37,754 --> 00:10:40,569
I'd have to close up
and fire a lot of people.
124
00:10:40,635 --> 00:10:43,024
- I'II tell you something.
- Please.
125
00:10:43,098 --> 00:10:45,652
Yeah, well, you see this?
126
00:10:46,715 --> 00:10:48,374
See that? That?
127
00:10:48,443 --> 00:10:50,297
I am this far...
128
00:10:50,363 --> 00:10:53,658
One second, one millimeter,
one second...
129
00:10:53,723 --> 00:10:55,098
from being legal.
130
00:10:55,163 --> 00:10:57,978
So I'm gonna have to ask you
to come back...
131
00:10:58,043 --> 00:11:01,272
when you're, uh,
when that centimeter's up.
132
00:11:01,340 --> 00:11:03,347
That would be
tomorrow morning, then.
133
00:11:05,276 --> 00:11:07,894
I like the way you dance.
Don't get me wrong.
134
00:11:12,828 --> 00:11:14,683
What's that?
135
00:11:14,748 --> 00:11:17,847
Oh, just a little somethin'
I got from down home.
136
00:11:18,876 --> 00:11:20,731
You're a classy guy.
137
00:11:21,756 --> 00:11:23,130
I've heard about you.
138
00:11:24,316 --> 00:11:25,690
This is moonshine.
139
00:11:25,756 --> 00:11:27,993
Is that...
This is moonshine, right?
140
00:11:28,893 --> 00:11:31,893
It's okay.
It's just from potatoes.
141
00:11:31,965 --> 00:11:35,412
- What's it gonna do to me?
- It's fine. Natural.
142
00:11:41,405 --> 00:11:43,380
Step away from the desk.
143
00:11:45,053 --> 00:11:46,962
That's like fire!
144
00:11:50,941 --> 00:11:53,276
- Sorry I made a mess.
- That's okay.
145
00:11:54,621 --> 00:11:55,996
Could I ask a question?
146
00:11:56,061 --> 00:11:57,970
Shoot.
147
00:11:58,045 --> 00:12:01,820
I heard that you've slept with
every girl in every one of your clubs.
148
00:12:01,885 --> 00:12:03,740
Sort of a prerequisite.
149
00:12:03,806 --> 00:12:07,254
I'm just wonderin'
if that's true or not.
150
00:12:08,702 --> 00:12:12,630
Well, it ain't entirely untrue,
if that's what you mean.
151
00:12:12,702 --> 00:12:16,379
I'm just curious why you haven't
taken a stab at me.
152
00:12:19,487 --> 00:12:22,585
Well, I just met you
five minutes ago.
153
00:12:23,614 --> 00:12:24,988
It was six.
154
00:12:26,365 --> 00:12:28,308
Tick, tick, tick.
155
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,869
Come on. One more time.
156
00:12:51,935 --> 00:12:54,106
"One more time"?
Come on, Althea.
157
00:12:54,176 --> 00:12:56,412
Even Superman has his limits.
158
00:12:57,438 --> 00:13:00,734
That's the problem
with you men.
159
00:13:00,799 --> 00:13:02,839
Your batteries run out.
160
00:13:02,911 --> 00:13:05,726
We women,
our batteries never run out.
161
00:13:05,791 --> 00:13:07,995
We could go on and on.
162
00:13:08,063 --> 00:13:10,780
Well, then go fuck a woman.
163
00:13:10,847 --> 00:13:12,735
"Go fuck a woman."
164
00:13:12,799 --> 00:13:14,774
I do fuck women.
165
00:13:14,848 --> 00:13:16,342
Excuse me?
166
00:13:16,416 --> 00:13:19,231
You are not the only person
in this club...
167
00:13:19,296 --> 00:13:21,947
to have had every woman
in this club.
168
00:13:23,457 --> 00:13:25,596
After one night,
she's movin' in with you?
169
00:13:25,665 --> 00:13:29,920
Well, this girl, she had it rough.
Grew up in an orphanage...
170
00:13:29,984 --> 00:13:30,933
Hey, buddy.
171
00:13:32,417 --> 00:13:34,271
Are you that sex paper guy?
172
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,047
Could be.
173
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,127
I love the pictures.
How do I subscribe?
174
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,589
Where'd you come up
on the newsletter?
175
00:13:41,664 --> 00:13:45,210
I found it in a gas station bathroom.
Came in pretty handy.
176
00:13:46,241 --> 00:13:48,380
Well, I'm glad we helped you out...
177
00:13:48,449 --> 00:13:50,904
but it ain't for subscription.
178
00:13:56,225 --> 00:13:57,654
Y'all want some chips?
179
00:13:58,562 --> 00:14:00,417
Chips?
180
00:14:12,097 --> 00:14:14,269
Ooh, look at her tits.
They're nice.
181
00:14:14,338 --> 00:14:16,891
They're nice tits,
but they don't look real.
182
00:14:19,553 --> 00:14:21,146
I don't understand
this magazine.
183
00:14:21,217 --> 00:14:23,389
All these fuzzy pictures...
184
00:14:23,458 --> 00:14:26,720
articles about I don't know
what the hell they're talking about.
185
00:14:26,786 --> 00:14:28,160
You guys read Playboy?
186
00:14:30,499 --> 00:14:32,539
- Well, yeah.
- Yeah.
187
00:14:33,379 --> 00:14:35,321
Did you...
Excuse me, baby.
188
00:14:36,355 --> 00:14:39,290
Did you enjoy
this month's article...
189
00:14:39,363 --> 00:14:42,265
on how to hook up
your quadraphonic stereo system?
190
00:14:42,339 --> 00:14:45,207
- What are you talkin' about?
- I think I missed that one.
191
00:14:46,882 --> 00:14:51,225
Did you follow their advice
on how to make a perfect martini?
192
00:14:51,299 --> 00:14:52,957
Hey, Larry, move over.
193
00:14:53,027 --> 00:14:55,361
Who is this magazine for, anyway?
194
00:14:55,427 --> 00:14:59,999
I mean, it's like if you don't
make 20,000-plus a year...
195
00:15:00,068 --> 00:15:01,442
you don't jerk off.
196
00:15:02,851 --> 00:15:06,234
Seven million people buying it,
and nobody's reading it.
197
00:15:06,308 --> 00:15:09,952
Gentlemen, Playboy is mocking you.
198
00:15:18,244 --> 00:15:21,539
- Give me a jelly doughnut.
- I got your jelly.
199
00:15:21,603 --> 00:15:25,019
- How many pages do we have right now?
- We have 105.
200
00:15:25,091 --> 00:15:26,782
- That's no good.
- Why not?
201
00:15:26,851 --> 00:15:29,819
106 is good. 104, that's good.
105...
202
00:15:29,892 --> 00:15:31,899
Are you connected with these numbers?
What difference...
203
00:15:31,972 --> 00:15:33,827
It's gotta be an even number.
204
00:15:33,892 --> 00:15:37,154
A paper has got two sides, right?
Two. Multiples of two.
205
00:15:37,220 --> 00:15:38,976
No, a page has four!
206
00:15:39,044 --> 00:15:42,787
Four. One, two, three, four.
You fold it and put in the staple.
207
00:15:43,845 --> 00:15:46,911
- It's not even an even number.
- Right.
208
00:15:46,981 --> 00:15:49,185
We'II figure it out.
We'll ask Larry.
209
00:15:50,373 --> 00:15:52,642
What the hell's he doin'?
210
00:15:52,710 --> 00:15:54,782
Hold that flower
in your left hand.
211
00:15:56,901 --> 00:15:58,788
No, your other left hand.
212
00:16:05,957 --> 00:16:09,056
We're not runnin' a flower shop here.
We're sellin' the girl.
213
00:16:09,126 --> 00:16:12,442
Stop futzin' around with the props
and pillows and flowers...
214
00:16:12,518 --> 00:16:14,373
and just shoot the girl.
215
00:16:15,398 --> 00:16:17,765
Okay, let's go for
that leg thing.
216
00:16:19,366 --> 00:16:20,740
Recline a little.
217
00:16:20,806 --> 00:16:23,108
Open them legs a little bit.
218
00:16:23,174 --> 00:16:25,182
Give me a little wider.
219
00:16:25,255 --> 00:16:27,840
A little wider.
A little wider.
220
00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:29,765
Just another touch wider...
221
00:16:31,173 --> 00:16:32,700
Not quite that wide.
222
00:16:32,774 --> 00:16:34,629
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
223
00:16:35,590 --> 00:16:37,445
That's exactly what we want.
224
00:16:38,470 --> 00:16:39,779
That's perfect.
225
00:16:39,846 --> 00:16:41,341
That's what you want.
226
00:16:41,415 --> 00:16:43,203
A woman's vagina...
227
00:16:43,270 --> 00:16:45,180
has as much personality
as her face.
228
00:16:45,255 --> 00:16:47,676
But you can't show
the genitalia.
229
00:16:47,750 --> 00:16:49,605
Why not?
230
00:16:49,670 --> 00:16:51,678
Larry, Rudy's right.
231
00:16:51,751 --> 00:16:53,922
- Legally, you can't show the vagina.
- Shut up.
232
00:16:53,991 --> 00:16:57,472
Rudy, are you a religious man?
233
00:16:57,544 --> 00:17:00,391
- Yeah.
- You believe God created man?
234
00:17:02,184 --> 00:17:03,678
God created woman?
235
00:17:06,087 --> 00:17:09,120
Then surely the same God
created her vagina.
236
00:17:09,191 --> 00:17:12,225
And who are you to defy God?
Just shoot her!
237
00:17:28,936 --> 00:17:30,310
Jesus Christ.
238
00:17:36,905 --> 00:17:38,760
Where is she?
239
00:17:39,785 --> 00:17:42,087
Althea
Hey, baby.
240
00:17:45,384 --> 00:17:47,239
Happy birthday, baby.
241
00:17:47,305 --> 00:17:48,799
And I have...
242
00:17:48,873 --> 00:17:50,913
a heart for my heart.
243
00:17:51,976 --> 00:17:54,311
Oh, Larry, that's beautiful.
244
00:18:00,233 --> 00:18:01,378
What's wrong?
245
00:18:01,449 --> 00:18:02,824
The distributor called...
246
00:18:02,889 --> 00:18:07,559
and, unfortunately,
we've had only a 25% sell-through.
247
00:18:07,626 --> 00:18:10,757
Somebody wanna
translate that for me?
248
00:18:10,825 --> 00:18:12,386
What that means is...
249
00:18:12,458 --> 00:18:14,978
they're sending back
150,000 copies.
250
00:18:15,050 --> 00:18:17,506
That's what it means.
251
00:18:21,866 --> 00:18:25,957
You're just a stupid briar-hopper.
What made you think you could do this?
252
00:18:26,025 --> 00:18:27,684
At least he has balls.
253
00:18:27,754 --> 00:18:29,379
Well, he needs brains.
254
00:18:29,450 --> 00:18:31,785
Oh, God. Einstein speaking.
255
00:18:31,850 --> 00:18:33,224
I'm so impressed.
256
00:18:34,794 --> 00:18:36,867
One more issue and we're broke?
257
00:18:36,938 --> 00:18:38,345
Yeah.
258
00:18:38,410 --> 00:18:42,272
Larry, you said yourself
it's not so bad to be poor.
259
00:18:42,346 --> 00:18:44,802
Fuck you, Althea.
You go be poor.
260
00:18:44,874 --> 00:18:46,085
Fuck me?
261
00:18:47,179 --> 00:18:49,994
You're the one that got us
into this debt.
262
00:18:51,723 --> 00:18:55,683
You think just 'cause it's your birthday
that you can be a bitch?
263
00:18:55,754 --> 00:18:59,529
Yeah, and I'm 50 feet tall
and you have a needle dick.
264
00:19:03,147 --> 00:19:05,962
Don't ever hit me
like that again.
265
00:19:06,027 --> 00:19:07,969
Don't talk to me like that.
266
00:19:08,043 --> 00:19:11,207
I'II go back
and I'll eat dog food.
267
00:19:11,275 --> 00:19:12,421
Take this.
268
00:19:12,492 --> 00:19:16,005
I don't own this anymore.
Throw it out in the street.
269
00:19:17,292 --> 00:19:21,831
Mr. Flynt, a guy on the phone claims
he has naked pictures of Jackie O.
270
00:19:21,900 --> 00:19:23,843
Put him through. Hello.
271
00:19:25,292 --> 00:19:26,983
- You the photographer?
- Yeah.
272
00:19:27,053 --> 00:19:29,386
- What do you got?
- Is this Mr. Flynt?
273
00:19:29,451 --> 00:19:30,913
Yeah.
274
00:19:32,171 --> 00:19:35,303
I was watching that damn island
for four months.
275
00:19:35,372 --> 00:19:38,023
Then one day
the cabana door opens...
276
00:19:38,092 --> 00:19:40,994
and out comes Jackie O
with nothing on.
277
00:19:41,068 --> 00:19:43,588
I mean, not a single stitch.
278
00:19:43,660 --> 00:19:46,563
- You sure it's Jackie O?
- Yeah! Sure!
279
00:19:46,636 --> 00:19:50,084
- And what do you see?
- Absolutely everything. Trust me.
280
00:19:50,156 --> 00:19:53,156
And she's a good one. This ain't no
Mamie Eisenhower or Ladybird.
281
00:19:54,701 --> 00:19:56,326
Oh, my God. First Pussy.
282
00:19:58,765 --> 00:20:01,286
Everyone's talking about
local boy done good...
283
00:20:01,358 --> 00:20:03,463
- or bad... Larry Flynt...
- Arlo, move!
284
00:20:03,534 --> 00:20:06,348
whose Hustler magazine
has reached national sales figures...
285
00:20:06,413 --> 00:20:08,552
of an astonishing
two million copies.
286
00:20:10,029 --> 00:20:11,785
In a stunning disclosure...
287
00:20:11,853 --> 00:20:13,708
- Cal, move your ass!
- WGBE-TV has learned...
288
00:20:13,773 --> 00:20:18,051
that Ohio governor Jim Rhodes himself
was spotted at a newsstand...
289
00:20:18,126 --> 00:20:21,290
buying a copy of
the infamous Jackie O issue.
290
00:20:21,358 --> 00:20:24,424
- I spoke to the governor today...
- Arlo, move it!
291
00:20:24,494 --> 00:20:25,868
and he had this response.
292
00:20:25,934 --> 00:20:29,283
Everybody knows I've been a historical
buff about First Ladies for a long time.
293
00:20:30,702 --> 00:20:33,190
Would you be interested
in nude photos of Martha Washington?
294
00:20:33,262 --> 00:20:36,164
- She's a bit before my time.
- Arlo!
295
00:20:36,238 --> 00:20:38,442
What about nude photos
of your wife?
296
00:20:38,510 --> 00:20:42,284
A teacher educates our children...
297
00:20:42,349 --> 00:20:44,324
and they become model citizens.
298
00:20:45,646 --> 00:20:49,192
The clergyman preaches,
and we find spirituality.
299
00:20:50,319 --> 00:20:54,542
My bank gives loans,
and homes get built.
300
00:20:54,607 --> 00:20:55,949
But now...
301
00:20:56,015 --> 00:20:59,910
there's a new, darker influence
in Cincinnati.
302
00:21:00,943 --> 00:21:02,797
Mr. Leis, if you would.
303
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,561
I'm going to ask that you review
this material very, very carefully...
304
00:21:11,632 --> 00:21:13,803
because it's important
that you know...
305
00:21:13,872 --> 00:21:17,865
that I did not buy these
at a smut store.
306
00:21:19,503 --> 00:21:21,478
These were not purchased at a...
307
00:21:22,575 --> 00:21:24,746
dirty book shop.
308
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,330
I bought this...
309
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,400
in a neighborhood grocery store...
310
00:21:31,472 --> 00:21:34,952
in full view
of our children.
311
00:21:36,432 --> 00:21:39,247
Ma'am, you cannot hide from this.
312
00:21:40,849 --> 00:21:42,507
Decent people...
313
00:21:42,576 --> 00:21:44,845
are being corrupted.
314
00:21:44,912 --> 00:21:47,695
Why, just look what happened
to our fine governor.
315
00:21:49,553 --> 00:21:52,552
As members of the Citizens
for Decent Literature...
316
00:21:52,624 --> 00:21:54,567
we cannot relent.
317
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,831
We must prevent the destruction...
318
00:21:58,896 --> 00:22:01,230
of the soul of our country.
319
00:22:27,218 --> 00:22:29,127
Take off your pants.
320
00:22:30,353 --> 00:22:32,110
- What?
- Take off your pants.
321
00:22:32,178 --> 00:22:33,552
Why?
322
00:22:33,617 --> 00:22:34,632
Because...
323
00:22:35,698 --> 00:22:38,032
I've never fucked
a millionaire before.
324
00:22:40,082 --> 00:22:42,351
Look at that.
325
00:23:01,748 --> 00:23:03,121
Happy birthday, America!
326
00:23:17,203 --> 00:23:19,243
This is Larry's house?
327
00:23:20,307 --> 00:23:21,682
- Ma! Pa!
- Must be it.
328
00:23:23,539 --> 00:23:25,165
Hi, son!
329
00:23:25,236 --> 00:23:27,854
- You came!
- It's so big.
330
00:23:29,012 --> 00:23:30,954
Who are all these people?
331
00:23:31,028 --> 00:23:32,915
Well, these are my friends, Ma.
332
00:23:32,980 --> 00:23:36,908
- Oh. You have so many friends.
- Lots of money, lots of friends.
333
00:23:36,980 --> 00:23:38,027
Oh! Look at you!
334
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:39,441
Hey, Arlo!
335
00:23:41,812 --> 00:23:44,660
You know how many rooms
I have here?
336
00:23:44,724 --> 00:23:47,953
- 24. You know who else has 24 rooms?
- The President?
337
00:23:48,020 --> 00:23:49,231
Hugh Hefner.
338
00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:53,075
This is the best room in the house.
You're gonna like it.
339
00:23:53,140 --> 00:23:55,474
This is the best room
in the house.
340
00:23:57,332 --> 00:24:00,300
You know, there's a maid
still cleaning up in there.
341
00:24:00,372 --> 00:24:02,707
Let me just say a word.
342
00:24:02,773 --> 00:24:04,202
The maid's in there.
343
00:24:04,277 --> 00:24:06,033
Listen, my folks are here...
344
00:24:06,101 --> 00:24:09,996
so move the girls into the Jacuzzi
and I'll get with you later.
345
00:24:10,069 --> 00:24:11,411
Your folks are here?
346
00:24:24,662 --> 00:24:28,011
What in the world is that?
347
00:24:29,558 --> 00:24:30,736
Hey, ladies.
348
00:24:30,806 --> 00:24:32,813
Larry!
349
00:24:32,886 --> 00:24:35,439
The party is just beginning.
350
00:24:39,638 --> 00:24:40,848
She's nice.
351
00:24:41,943 --> 00:24:43,798
And she's frigid.
352
00:24:44,950 --> 00:24:47,285
Let's see what we can do
about that.
353
00:25:23,704 --> 00:25:26,191
Do you ever think
about getting married?
354
00:25:26,871 --> 00:25:28,725
Oh, God.
355
00:25:28,791 --> 00:25:33,679
There's nothing more certain to ruin
a beautiful relationship than marriage.
356
00:25:33,751 --> 00:25:37,494
As soon as you get that ring
around the finger...
357
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,495
suddenly you have
an ownership situation.
358
00:25:40,567 --> 00:25:41,647
Prior to that...
359
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,207
it's friendly.
360
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,135
You're kind to each other.
361
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,761
I'll tell you something...
362
00:25:47,833 --> 00:25:49,556
as much as I love you...
363
00:25:49,624 --> 00:25:52,439
I want a variety
of different...
364
00:25:53,625 --> 00:25:55,534
vagina, pussy.
365
00:25:55,609 --> 00:25:58,806
- What did we just do?
- That's what I'm talking about.
366
00:25:58,873 --> 00:26:02,320
So, do you think
I'm talking about monogamy?
367
00:26:03,352 --> 00:26:05,359
You're not talking
about monogamy?
368
00:26:05,432 --> 00:26:07,603
No. Of course not.
369
00:26:08,985 --> 00:26:10,643
How could you misunderstand me?
370
00:26:10,713 --> 00:26:12,655
I was wondering,
'cause I thought...
371
00:26:12,729 --> 00:26:15,544
I don't wanna get married
and stop the way we live.
372
00:26:15,609 --> 00:26:17,551
The way we live is great.
373
00:26:17,625 --> 00:26:20,854
Nothing would change.
My God.
374
00:26:20,922 --> 00:26:22,809
Why now?
375
00:26:22,873 --> 00:26:25,721
Because I only wanna
be with you.
376
00:26:25,785 --> 00:26:28,600
You're the only man
I wanna be with.
377
00:26:28,665 --> 00:26:31,480
I want this ring on my finger...
378
00:26:31,545 --> 00:26:35,604
to tell me that you love me
above all other women.
379
00:26:35,674 --> 00:26:37,234
You want a ceremony?
380
00:26:37,305 --> 00:26:40,883
I wanna go to a church.
I wanna stand in front of a preacher.
381
00:26:40,953 --> 00:26:42,328
Pay the preacher first...
382
00:26:42,394 --> 00:26:46,191
and we'll get a "cashectomy"
from the lawyer on the way out.
383
00:26:46,266 --> 00:26:49,299
You are my life.
384
00:26:50,330 --> 00:26:52,054
You're my life.
385
00:26:52,122 --> 00:26:55,286
- I am here for the rest of my life.
- You're my life too.
386
00:26:55,354 --> 00:26:58,900
Right now, right here, my life.
I can't speak for 20 years from now.
387
00:26:58,971 --> 00:27:00,662
- I can.
- You can?
388
00:27:01,691 --> 00:27:04,179
- Let me say something.
- Oh, man!
389
00:27:04,251 --> 00:27:07,961
- Just forget I brought it up.
- Listen to what I'm saying.
390
00:27:14,235 --> 00:27:15,729
Would you marry me?
391
00:27:16,378 --> 00:27:17,808
It's not funny.
392
00:27:17,882 --> 00:27:20,304
I'm not joking.
Would you marry me?
393
00:27:20,379 --> 00:27:23,859
Would you do me the honor
of becoming Mrs. Larry Flynt?
394
00:27:25,851 --> 00:27:28,273
You're not fucking with me?
395
00:27:28,347 --> 00:27:29,908
You mean it?
396
00:27:29,979 --> 00:27:31,474
No, I'm just kiddin'.
397
00:27:31,548 --> 00:27:32,595
You are?
398
00:27:32,668 --> 00:27:35,286
No, I'm serious.
I'm serious.
399
00:27:57,085 --> 00:27:59,125
She's got a dick!
400
00:27:59,196 --> 00:28:01,531
You taped this on.
This is not real.
401
00:28:01,596 --> 00:28:03,768
- Who would want to see that anyway?
- I do!
402
00:28:03,837 --> 00:28:06,138
- I think it's genius.
- It don't matter.
403
00:28:06,205 --> 00:28:09,947
It's just like when people slow down
at a car crash to take a peek.
404
00:28:10,013 --> 00:28:11,388
We're breaking taboos.
405
00:28:11,453 --> 00:28:13,973
I've got an idea.
The Wizard of Oz.
406
00:28:14,045 --> 00:28:15,060
What?
407
00:28:15,133 --> 00:28:18,745
Okay, Dorothy is laying there
in Kansas...
408
00:28:18,814 --> 00:28:21,181
and there's the Tin Man...
409
00:28:21,245 --> 00:28:23,634
and the Scarecrow and...
410
00:28:24,925 --> 00:28:26,419
- Who's the other one?
- The lion.
411
00:28:26,493 --> 00:28:27,704
The lion.
412
00:28:27,773 --> 00:28:29,529
They're all gang-banging her...
413
00:28:29,597 --> 00:28:32,019
and there's Toto, maybe, even?
414
00:28:33,725 --> 00:28:36,343
Althea, I think
some things are sacred.
415
00:28:36,413 --> 00:28:37,940
Shut up.
416
00:28:38,974 --> 00:28:41,844
That is the best idea
I ever heard.
417
00:28:41,918 --> 00:28:43,128
Yeah. It could work.
418
00:28:43,198 --> 00:28:45,053
Where can I find Larry Flynt?
419
00:28:46,174 --> 00:28:48,411
The Tin Man can have
a tin penis.
420
00:28:48,478 --> 00:28:52,253
No, he's got that hat like a funnel,
that funnel hat.
421
00:28:57,247 --> 00:28:59,222
Larry Claxton Flynt!
422
00:29:00,254 --> 00:29:02,458
Stand up, sir.
Hands behind your back.
423
00:29:02,526 --> 00:29:04,249
- What's this?
- You're under arrest...
424
00:29:04,318 --> 00:29:06,173
on charges of pandering obscenity
in Cincinnati...
425
00:29:06,238 --> 00:29:07,994
and engaging in organized crime.
426
00:29:08,063 --> 00:29:09,470
Organized crime?
427
00:29:09,535 --> 00:29:12,350
Sit down, lady.
You have the right to remain silent.
428
00:29:12,415 --> 00:29:15,798
Anything you say can be used
against you in court.
429
00:29:15,871 --> 00:29:19,319
If you cannot afford an attorney,
one will be appointed by the court.
430
00:29:23,903 --> 00:29:25,277
Mr. Flynt?
431
00:29:26,816 --> 00:29:28,823
You Larry Flynt?
432
00:29:28,896 --> 00:29:30,806
- Who are you?
- Alan Isaacman.
433
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,050
I'm your lawyer.
434
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,192
Your bail is all taken care of...
435
00:29:35,263 --> 00:29:37,597
but we oughta talk
about the case.
436
00:29:37,663 --> 00:29:39,671
Wait. Who hired you?
437
00:29:39,743 --> 00:29:41,173
Your wife.
438
00:29:41,247 --> 00:29:43,703
- My wife?
- Yeah.
439
00:29:43,775 --> 00:29:46,197
Are you doin' her?
440
00:29:46,272 --> 00:29:48,377
Wait... Am I what?
441
00:29:48,448 --> 00:29:50,783
I'm just kiddin'.
I like you.
442
00:29:50,848 --> 00:29:53,695
Give me a call
after you get out of law school.
443
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,615
Oh, no.
I'm out of law school.
444
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,589
- What are you, 22?
- 27.
445
00:29:57,664 --> 00:30:00,599
Harvard law school, three years
in the public defender's office.
446
00:30:00,673 --> 00:30:03,488
Obviously you can get whoever you want
to represent you in this case...
447
00:30:03,553 --> 00:30:05,888
but let me say one thing
to you...
448
00:30:08,577 --> 00:30:12,253
You're pretty far out there, even for
the guys who do a lot of this stuff.
449
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,709
I am interested in your case.
450
00:30:14,784 --> 00:30:17,883
The problem you've got is
very definitely what I know best...
451
00:30:17,953 --> 00:30:19,808
and I am good at what I do.
452
00:30:19,873 --> 00:30:22,295
What, do you specialize
in porn?
453
00:30:22,369 --> 00:30:24,670
No, I don't specialize
in porn.
454
00:30:24,737 --> 00:30:28,053
I'll be perfectly honest.
I don't particularly like what you do.
455
00:30:28,129 --> 00:30:29,820
I specialize
in civil liberties.
456
00:30:29,889 --> 00:30:33,370
I don't understand
why they've singled me out.
457
00:30:33,441 --> 00:30:37,533
Look, this case is bigger
than just you and your magazine.
458
00:30:37,602 --> 00:30:40,733
In your case, what's more troubling
is this organized crime charge.
459
00:30:40,802 --> 00:30:43,136
Organized crime?
Larry's not in the Mob.
460
00:30:43,202 --> 00:30:45,504
Mr. Flynt, I gotta ask you once.
461
00:30:45,570 --> 00:30:48,668
Do you have any connections
in any way to organized crime?
462
00:30:48,737 --> 00:30:51,159
Absolutely not.
463
00:30:51,969 --> 00:30:53,824
I've gotta ask.
464
00:30:53,889 --> 00:30:55,799
By the way, call me Larry.
465
00:30:55,874 --> 00:30:57,303
All right.
466
00:30:57,378 --> 00:31:00,193
In that case, Larry,
this is a bullshit charge...
467
00:31:00,258 --> 00:31:02,494
but we have to take this
seriously...
468
00:31:02,563 --> 00:31:06,753
because you could conceivably
be looking at 7 to 25 years.
469
00:31:06,819 --> 00:31:08,761
Twenty-five years?
470
00:31:08,835 --> 00:31:10,777
All I'm guilty of is bad taste.
471
00:31:10,851 --> 00:31:13,818
My cousin Bobby
shot a preacher in the back.
472
00:31:13,891 --> 00:31:16,063
He got six months for it.
473
00:31:16,131 --> 00:31:18,520
Bobby shot a preacher?
What denomination?
474
00:31:18,595 --> 00:31:19,642
Baptist.
475
00:31:19,715 --> 00:31:22,048
Can we discuss Cousin Bobby later?
476
00:31:22,115 --> 00:31:24,122
We need to discuss this
seriously.
477
00:31:24,195 --> 00:31:26,617
I am serious.
I'm taking notes.
478
00:31:40,516 --> 00:31:42,883
Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.
479
00:31:42,947 --> 00:31:44,060
Before we begin...
480
00:31:45,220 --> 00:31:46,464
I must apologize...
481
00:31:46,532 --> 00:31:49,053
for the unpleasantness
of this task.
482
00:31:51,236 --> 00:31:53,691
What you're about to see...
483
00:31:53,764 --> 00:31:56,033
is going to
take your breath away.
484
00:31:56,773 --> 00:31:58,332
Hustler magazine...
485
00:31:58,404 --> 00:32:00,509
depicts men and women...
486
00:32:00,580 --> 00:32:02,009
posed together...
487
00:32:02,084 --> 00:32:04,768
in a lewd
and shameful manner.
488
00:32:07,524 --> 00:32:10,820
Hustler depicts women and women...
489
00:32:10,885 --> 00:32:14,431
posed together
in a lewd and shameful manner.
490
00:32:15,717 --> 00:32:18,205
Hustler magazine
depicts Santa Claus...
491
00:32:18,277 --> 00:32:22,019
posed in a lewd
and shameful manner.
492
00:32:22,085 --> 00:32:23,646
What's he talking about?
493
00:32:27,462 --> 00:32:29,317
Jesus Christ, Larry.
494
00:32:32,198 --> 00:32:35,426
With the court's permission, the defense
would like to introduce into evidence...
495
00:32:36,325 --> 00:32:38,180
27 other men's magazines...
496
00:32:38,245 --> 00:32:40,100
sold in the Cincinnati area.
497
00:32:40,165 --> 00:32:42,107
Titles such as Penthouse, Playboy...
498
00:32:42,181 --> 00:32:43,294
Objection!
499
00:32:44,070 --> 00:32:45,314
Sustained.
500
00:32:46,342 --> 00:32:47,389
"Sustained"?
501
00:32:48,997 --> 00:32:51,932
Wait a second, Your Honor,
if I may.
502
00:32:52,006 --> 00:32:54,341
These magazines...
503
00:32:54,406 --> 00:32:57,854
contain material that is virtually
identical to Hustler magazine.
504
00:32:57,927 --> 00:33:00,774
If these magazines are legal
and Hustler is not legal...
505
00:33:00,838 --> 00:33:03,937
then this is clearly a case
of selective prosecution.
506
00:33:04,006 --> 00:33:05,501
No.
507
00:33:05,574 --> 00:33:07,331
I'm sorry.
Did you say "no"?
508
00:33:08,263 --> 00:33:10,117
I will not allow them
into evidence.
509
00:33:10,182 --> 00:33:13,565
- They're irrelevant to this case.
- But they are not irrelevant.
510
00:33:13,639 --> 00:33:17,152
They very clearly demonstrate the
community standard which is laid out...
511
00:33:17,223 --> 00:33:18,335
No, Counselor!
512
00:33:18,406 --> 00:33:21,308
The jury is representative
of community standards...
513
00:33:21,382 --> 00:33:23,422
not a pile of magazines.
514
00:33:23,495 --> 00:33:25,219
I won't admit them.
515
00:33:25,287 --> 00:33:27,327
You won't admit them.
516
00:33:27,399 --> 00:33:31,523
Mr. Flynt, would you please
turn to page 77?
517
00:33:35,783 --> 00:33:39,875
Would you describe to the jury
what is on page 77, please, sir?
518
00:33:41,672 --> 00:33:43,811
It's a picture of Santa Claus.
519
00:33:44,839 --> 00:33:46,944
What is Santa Claus doing?
520
00:33:47,015 --> 00:33:48,259
Talking to Mrs. Claus...
521
00:33:48,327 --> 00:33:50,946
and holding in his hand...
522
00:33:51,016 --> 00:33:52,390
what appears to be...
523
00:33:52,455 --> 00:33:55,172
a large, erect penis.
524
00:33:55,239 --> 00:33:58,982
And would you read the caption
under that cartoon, please?
525
00:33:59,048 --> 00:34:00,870
It says...
526
00:34:00,936 --> 00:34:03,970
"This is what I've got
to 'Ho-ho-ho' about."
527
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,910
Mr. Flynt, do you think...
528
00:34:06,985 --> 00:34:09,985
that the founding fathers
had a cartoon like this in mind...
529
00:34:10,057 --> 00:34:11,944
when they wrote
the First Amendment?
530
00:34:12,008 --> 00:34:16,416
Well, no, but I don't think
they necessarily had Playboy in mind...
531
00:34:16,489 --> 00:34:17,864
or People either...
532
00:34:17,929 --> 00:34:20,350
'cause I saw a couple of
swear words in there once.
533
00:34:20,424 --> 00:34:24,353
But isn't a community allowed
to set its own standards?
534
00:34:24,425 --> 00:34:27,720
No. That's just a disguise
for censorship.
535
00:34:27,784 --> 00:34:29,639
This country belongs to me...
536
00:34:29,705 --> 00:34:32,574
as much as it belongs to you,
Mr. Leis.
537
00:34:32,649 --> 00:34:35,104
If you don't like Hustler magazine,
don't read it.
538
00:34:35,177 --> 00:34:36,552
I don't.
539
00:34:36,617 --> 00:34:39,933
But what about the innocent children
who gaze upon your magazine...
540
00:34:40,009 --> 00:34:41,384
in our grocery stores?
541
00:34:44,170 --> 00:34:47,880
If a kid gets caught
drinking beer in a tavern...
542
00:34:47,946 --> 00:34:51,721
we don't ban Budweiser
across the nation.
543
00:34:53,898 --> 00:34:55,904
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury...
544
00:34:55,977 --> 00:35:00,866
you've heard a lot here today
and I won't try to go back over it all.
545
00:35:02,474 --> 00:35:06,052
But you have to go back in that room
and make some decisions...
546
00:35:06,122 --> 00:35:09,831
and there is one thing I want to make
very clear to you before you do.
547
00:35:11,498 --> 00:35:15,622
I'm not trying to convince you that
you should like what Larry Flynt does.
548
00:35:16,586 --> 00:35:18,496
I don't like what he does.
549
00:35:21,963 --> 00:35:23,938
But what I do like is...
550
00:35:24,011 --> 00:35:26,531
that I live in a country...
551
00:35:26,603 --> 00:35:29,702
where you and I can
make that decision for ourselves.
552
00:35:29,771 --> 00:35:33,894
I like that I live in a country
where I can pick up Hustler magazine...
553
00:35:34,603 --> 00:35:36,196
read it if I want...
554
00:35:36,267 --> 00:35:39,464
or throw it in the trash,
if that's where I think it belongs.
555
00:35:40,299 --> 00:35:42,187
Or I can not buy it.
556
00:35:43,308 --> 00:35:46,025
I like that right.
I care about it.
557
00:35:47,340 --> 00:35:49,380
And you should care
about it too...
558
00:35:51,084 --> 00:35:53,091
because we live
in a free country.
559
00:35:54,732 --> 00:35:59,554
We say that a lot, but sometimes we
forget what that means, so listen again.
560
00:35:59,629 --> 00:36:02,476
We live in a free country.
561
00:36:02,540 --> 00:36:06,185
That is a powerful idea.
That's a magnificent way to live.
562
00:36:06,252 --> 00:36:09,317
But there is a price for that freedom,
which is that sometimes...
563
00:36:09,387 --> 00:36:12,290
we have to tolerate things
that we don't necessarily like.
564
00:36:12,364 --> 00:36:13,989
So go back in that room...
565
00:36:14,060 --> 00:36:16,711
where you are free to think
whatever you want to think...
566
00:36:16,780 --> 00:36:19,017
about Larry Flynt
and Hustler magazine.
567
00:36:20,652 --> 00:36:23,881
But then ask yourselves if you want to
make that decision for the rest of us...
568
00:36:23,949 --> 00:36:28,105
because the freedom
that everyone in this room enjoys...
569
00:36:28,173 --> 00:36:30,923
is, in a very real way,
in your hands.
570
00:36:30,989 --> 00:36:35,397
If we start throwing up walls against
what some of us think is obscene...
571
00:36:36,494 --> 00:36:39,308
we may wake up one morning
and realize...
572
00:36:39,374 --> 00:36:42,309
that walls have been thrown up
in places we never expected...
573
00:36:44,077 --> 00:36:47,077
and we can't see anything
or do anything.
574
00:36:50,254 --> 00:36:52,109
And that's not freedom.
575
00:36:53,742 --> 00:36:55,629
That is not freedom.
576
00:36:55,694 --> 00:36:57,549
So, be careful.
577
00:36:59,309 --> 00:37:00,684
Thank you.
578
00:37:09,230 --> 00:37:11,085
Madam Foreman,
have you reached a verdict?
579
00:37:11,151 --> 00:37:13,256
Yes, Your Honor, we have.
580
00:37:13,327 --> 00:37:15,782
Hand the verdict
to the bailiff.
581
00:37:26,735 --> 00:37:28,939
Will the defendant please rise?
582
00:37:36,687 --> 00:37:38,149
Madam Clerk,
read the verdict.
583
00:37:41,232 --> 00:37:42,476
"We, the jury...
584
00:37:42,544 --> 00:37:44,878
find the defendant,
Larry Claxton Flynt...
585
00:37:44,943 --> 00:37:47,332
guilty as charged
on all counts."
586
00:37:53,776 --> 00:37:56,557
Do you have anything to say
before I sentence you?
587
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,814
Your Honor...
588
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,269
you've not made...
589
00:38:03,344 --> 00:38:06,759
one intelligent decision
during the course of this trial...
590
00:38:06,832 --> 00:38:08,719
and I don't expect one now.
591
00:38:08,784 --> 00:38:10,693
Knock yourself out.
592
00:38:11,472 --> 00:38:14,538
I sentence you to 25 years
in the Ohio State Penitentiary.
593
00:38:15,472 --> 00:38:16,901
Your Honor, we request bail...
594
00:38:16,976 --> 00:38:18,602
- Bail denied.
- Denied?
595
00:38:19,856 --> 00:38:23,239
- Take him away.
- This procedure is completely standard.
596
00:38:23,313 --> 00:38:25,168
All I do
is publish a magazine!
597
00:38:26,769 --> 00:38:29,005
Mrs. Flynt, were you surprised
by the verdict?
598
00:38:29,073 --> 00:38:31,887
No, I was not surprised
by the verdict at all.
599
00:38:31,953 --> 00:38:35,498
We had a stupid judge
and an uptight prosecutor.
600
00:38:35,568 --> 00:38:37,805
Are you ashamed to have
your husband locked up?
601
00:38:37,873 --> 00:38:40,110
I never would be
ashamed of Larry.
602
00:38:40,177 --> 00:38:42,992
I'd rather have a man who stands up
for what he believes in.
603
00:38:43,057 --> 00:38:45,872
Of course I'm not happy
he's going to jail.
604
00:38:45,937 --> 00:38:50,280
You guys can call this
a circus, a witch hunt...
605
00:39:14,258 --> 00:39:15,306
Hi, baby.
606
00:39:17,234 --> 00:39:19,242
You are so beautiful.
607
00:39:19,315 --> 00:39:20,776
Hi, Larry.
608
00:39:22,418 --> 00:39:23,945
How are you?
609
00:39:24,018 --> 00:39:26,833
- I miss you.
- I've missed you too.
610
00:39:29,107 --> 00:39:30,962
You got any girlfriends
in here?
611
00:39:35,155 --> 00:39:37,359
You got calluses on your hands?
612
00:39:37,427 --> 00:39:38,922
You know it.
613
00:39:38,995 --> 00:39:42,824
I fantasize about you
all the time.
614
00:39:44,243 --> 00:39:46,152
Our bed is so empty.
615
00:39:50,419 --> 00:39:51,401
Baby.
616
00:39:52,435 --> 00:39:53,810
Oh, baby.
617
00:39:57,619 --> 00:39:59,474
Oh, God.
618
00:40:05,812 --> 00:40:07,983
What can I do
to get you out of here?
619
00:40:10,580 --> 00:40:13,483
Isaacman says there's no way
this is gonna hold up.
620
00:40:13,557 --> 00:40:16,371
What if Alan's wrong?
621
00:40:16,437 --> 00:40:19,403
What if you don't get out
till the year 2000...
622
00:40:19,476 --> 00:40:23,732
and I'm fat and old and ugly
and you don't love me anymore?
623
00:40:23,796 --> 00:40:27,440
You ain't never gonna be
old and fat and ugly.
624
00:40:27,508 --> 00:40:29,363
I promise you.
625
00:40:31,636 --> 00:40:33,808
- I love you.
- I love you.
626
00:40:35,669 --> 00:40:40,524
Glory, glory, hallelujah
627
00:40:50,614 --> 00:40:51,989
His truth
628
00:40:52,054 --> 00:40:55,763
Is marching on
629
00:40:55,829 --> 00:40:58,676
His truth is
630
00:40:58,742 --> 00:41:01,043
Marching
631
00:41:01,110 --> 00:41:04,044
On
632
00:41:09,718 --> 00:41:11,279
Please. Please. Please.
633
00:41:13,078 --> 00:41:15,413
And now,
Americans for a Free Press...
634
00:41:16,439 --> 00:41:19,570
take extreme pleasure
in welcoming to Cincinnati...
635
00:41:19,638 --> 00:41:21,493
direct from jail...
636
00:41:21,558 --> 00:41:24,308
cleared 100%
by the Appellate Court...
637
00:41:24,374 --> 00:41:27,222
This is great of the Americans for
a Free Press to invite us here tonight.
638
00:41:28,886 --> 00:41:33,708
You idiot, the Americans for a Free Press is me.
Who do you think's paying for all this?
639
00:41:33,782 --> 00:41:38,005
...that freedom fighter,
Larry C. Flynt!
640
00:41:46,391 --> 00:41:48,214
- Thank you.
- We love you, Larry!
641
00:41:48,279 --> 00:41:49,741
I have a thought.
642
00:41:49,815 --> 00:41:52,369
Murder is illegal...
643
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,756
but you take a picture of somebody
committing the act of murder...
644
00:41:55,832 --> 00:41:58,483
they'll put you on the cover
of Newsweek.
645
00:41:58,552 --> 00:42:00,461
You might even win
a Pulitzer Prize.
646
00:42:01,368 --> 00:42:02,546
And yet...
647
00:42:02,616 --> 00:42:04,983
sex is legal.
648
00:42:05,047 --> 00:42:07,633
Everybody's doin' it,
or wants to be.
649
00:42:09,976 --> 00:42:13,205
Yet you take a picture of two people
in the act of sex...
650
00:42:13,272 --> 00:42:15,312
or of just a woman's
naked body...
651
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,863
and they'll put you in jail.
652
00:42:18,936 --> 00:42:23,410
Now, I have a message for all you
good, moral, Christian people...
653
00:42:23,481 --> 00:42:27,310
who are complaining
that breasts and vaginas are obscene.
654
00:42:27,384 --> 00:42:30,516
Don't complain to me.
Complain to the manufacturer.
655
00:42:30,585 --> 00:42:34,098
Okay? And although Jesus told us
not to judge, I know you will anyway...
656
00:42:34,169 --> 00:42:35,663
so judge sanely.
657
00:42:35,737 --> 00:42:38,934
Judge with your eyes open.
What do you consider obscene?
658
00:42:39,002 --> 00:42:41,521
Is this obscene to you?
659
00:42:41,592 --> 00:42:44,909
Or perhaps that's obscene to you.
660
00:42:45,784 --> 00:42:48,174
Maybe this is obscene to you.
661
00:42:48,248 --> 00:42:51,412
But what is more obscene,
this...
662
00:42:52,538 --> 00:42:54,228
or this?
663
00:42:54,297 --> 00:42:56,272
This...
664
00:42:56,345 --> 00:42:58,167
or this?
665
00:42:58,234 --> 00:43:02,806
You know, politicians
and demagogues like to say...
666
00:43:02,874 --> 00:43:06,322
that sexually explicit material
corrupts the youth of our country.
667
00:43:06,394 --> 00:43:10,704
And yet they lie, cheat
and start unholy wars.
668
00:43:10,779 --> 00:43:14,608
Look at them. They call themselves men.
They're sheep in a herd.
669
00:43:14,682 --> 00:43:18,194
I think the real obscenity
comes from raising our youth...
670
00:43:18,265 --> 00:43:22,521
to believe that sex is bad
and ugly and dirty...
671
00:43:22,586 --> 00:43:26,961
and yet it is heroic
to go spill guts and blood...
672
00:43:27,034 --> 00:43:30,384
in the most ghastly manner
in the name of humanity.
673
00:43:30,458 --> 00:43:33,590
With all the taboos
attached to sex...
674
00:43:33,659 --> 00:43:36,245
it's no wonder
we have the problems we have...
675
00:43:36,315 --> 00:43:39,130
that we're angry and violent
and genocidal.
676
00:43:39,195 --> 00:43:41,170
But ask yourself the question...
677
00:43:41,243 --> 00:43:43,415
What is more obscene...
678
00:43:43,483 --> 00:43:45,905
sex or war?
679
00:44:07,100 --> 00:44:08,955
She's a killer.
680
00:44:18,396 --> 00:44:20,251
- Larry.
- Yeah.
681
00:44:23,837 --> 00:44:25,047
Hi, Althea.
682
00:44:25,116 --> 00:44:26,293
Hi, Arlo.
683
00:44:27,324 --> 00:44:29,429
Arlo, you wanted something?
684
00:44:29,500 --> 00:44:30,842
Yes.
685
00:44:30,908 --> 00:44:33,330
I've got bad news.
686
00:44:35,805 --> 00:44:38,674
A Georgia prosecutor's
arrested some newsdealers...
687
00:44:38,749 --> 00:44:40,123
for selling Hustler.
688
00:44:41,821 --> 00:44:46,556
Some other retailers are getting nervous
and taking issues off the stands.
689
00:44:46,621 --> 00:44:48,476
Fuel the jet.
690
00:44:50,366 --> 00:44:52,220
Wait.
Alert the Georgia media.
691
00:44:52,925 --> 00:44:54,998
Tell 'em the cavalry's
on the way.
692
00:45:03,421 --> 00:45:05,276
Larry, why are you here?
693
00:45:05,341 --> 00:45:08,407
Good, hardworkin' news vendors
are being threatened and intimidated.
694
00:45:08,477 --> 00:45:10,365
If that's not censorship,
what is?
695
00:45:10,430 --> 00:45:13,245
- So, what's your plan?
- Well, just watch.
696
00:45:15,550 --> 00:45:18,517
Come right on in here.
Stand right over there.
697
00:45:18,590 --> 00:45:19,637
All right.
698
00:45:19,710 --> 00:45:21,019
Don't crowd.
699
00:45:21,758 --> 00:45:24,246
Let the cameras through.
You rollin'?
700
00:45:24,319 --> 00:45:26,686
Now, what we're gonna do here is...
701
00:45:27,967 --> 00:45:31,612
I'm gonna pay this gentleman
$1,000.
702
00:45:32,543 --> 00:45:36,438
I'm renting the Puff 'n' Read
for 24 hours.
703
00:45:36,511 --> 00:45:38,365
I am in control now.
704
00:45:38,430 --> 00:45:42,685
Anybody who would like to purchase
a copy of Hustler magazine...
705
00:45:42,751 --> 00:45:45,565
Could I please buy a copy
of the Hustler magazine?
706
00:45:45,631 --> 00:45:49,111
Yes, you can, sir. Here is
the Hustler magazine I'm selling...
707
00:45:49,183 --> 00:45:51,322
That's it.
Larry Flynt, you're under arrest.
708
00:45:51,391 --> 00:45:53,530
Okay.
I gotta give him some change.
709
00:45:54,303 --> 00:45:56,278
Only in America, huh?
710
00:45:58,272 --> 00:46:01,436
How far will you go for Hustler?
What are your plans?
711
00:46:01,504 --> 00:46:04,635
Many people support Hustler magazine,
but none are willing to support you.
712
00:46:04,703 --> 00:46:06,558
How do you feel about that?
713
00:46:06,623 --> 00:46:09,853
Why do I have to go to jail
to protect your freedom?
714
00:46:14,911 --> 00:46:17,399
That's good.
715
00:46:17,472 --> 00:46:20,057
So, we're gonna pay
a million bucks?
716
00:46:20,128 --> 00:46:22,713
If it catches the killer,
it's worth it.
717
00:46:24,864 --> 00:46:27,198
Moving on.
Asshole of the Month.
718
00:46:27,264 --> 00:46:28,890
Jerry Falwell.
719
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,847
You always say Jerry Falwell.
720
00:46:30,913 --> 00:46:32,636
Jerry Falwell
is always an asshole.
721
00:46:33,312 --> 00:46:35,581
How about Anita Bryant
this month?
722
00:46:35,649 --> 00:46:37,591
I say Gerald Ford.
723
00:46:37,665 --> 00:46:39,520
I say Larry Flynt.
724
00:46:44,866 --> 00:46:48,062
I like that, bro.
I mean, everybody thinks I'm an asshole.
725
00:46:48,129 --> 00:46:50,649
- Yeah, that's true.
- Is that right?
726
00:46:52,512 --> 00:46:54,039
Larry, you have a call.
727
00:46:54,113 --> 00:46:57,015
- Take a message.
- How about Asshole of the Decade?
728
00:46:57,089 --> 00:46:58,944
She's calling
from North Carolina.
729
00:46:59,009 --> 00:47:02,970
She says she's the President's sister,
Ruth Carter something.
730
00:47:03,041 --> 00:47:04,536
Ruth Carter Stapleton?
731
00:47:04,610 --> 00:47:06,497
She's a woman of God.
732
00:47:07,586 --> 00:47:09,440
What does she want with you?
733
00:47:10,530 --> 00:47:13,345
What are you afraid of?
Pick up the phone.
734
00:47:14,370 --> 00:47:16,792
Okay, patch her through.
735
00:47:16,866 --> 00:47:19,321
Hello, this is Larry Flynt.
736
00:47:19,394 --> 00:47:22,078
- Praise the Lord. I found you.
- Hallelujah.
737
00:47:22,147 --> 00:47:24,350
What can I help you with?
738
00:47:24,418 --> 00:47:27,287
We have a mutual friend, Larry,
a television producer...
739
00:47:27,362 --> 00:47:29,435
and he suggested
we get together.
740
00:47:29,506 --> 00:47:31,513
He thought you and I
would hit it off.
741
00:47:32,771 --> 00:47:34,658
I don't understand.
742
00:47:34,722 --> 00:47:38,170
You're an evangelist
and I'm a smut peddler.
743
00:47:38,242 --> 00:47:40,381
Larry, I don't believe in labels.
744
00:47:40,451 --> 00:47:44,248
I think you and I
could teach each other a lot, so...
745
00:47:44,323 --> 00:47:46,941
are you free
for dinner tomorrow night?
746
00:47:47,971 --> 00:47:50,622
You know,
I have a hectic schedule.
747
00:47:50,691 --> 00:47:54,237
You know what's nice about
people like you and me, Mr. Flynt?
748
00:47:54,307 --> 00:47:55,834
What's that?
749
00:47:55,908 --> 00:47:57,730
We can do anything we want.
750
00:48:13,155 --> 00:48:15,163
Do you go to church, Larry?
751
00:48:15,236 --> 00:48:16,861
Yeah, church.
752
00:48:16,932 --> 00:48:20,281
Particularly the, uh,
you know, the big holidays...
753
00:48:21,316 --> 00:48:24,961
Christmas, Easter
and New Year's Eve.
754
00:48:25,028 --> 00:48:26,522
New Year's Eve?
755
00:48:29,988 --> 00:48:32,258
They don't have church
on New Year's Eve. Okay.
756
00:48:32,325 --> 00:48:33,885
Well, we've proven I'm a liar.
757
00:48:36,035 --> 00:48:38,370
- I never go.
- It's not important.
758
00:48:39,396 --> 00:48:41,251
That's only a ritual.
759
00:48:41,316 --> 00:48:44,316
I believe in going straight
to the teachings of Jesus.
760
00:48:44,388 --> 00:48:46,723
And does she love that man.
761
00:48:47,556 --> 00:48:49,444
Would you call yourself...
762
00:48:50,853 --> 00:48:52,379
a faith healer?
763
00:48:52,453 --> 00:48:53,501
Goodness, no.
764
00:48:54,469 --> 00:48:55,680
I do spiritual healing.
765
00:48:55,749 --> 00:48:57,658
Oh.
766
00:48:57,733 --> 00:48:59,838
I don't mend bones.
I mend troubled souls.
767
00:49:02,629 --> 00:49:07,201
That's a relief. I thought you might be
one of those tent revival fakes...
768
00:49:07,270 --> 00:49:11,425
that used to come
scare the kids with snakes...
769
00:49:11,493 --> 00:49:13,501
and "Wicked this, wicked that."
770
00:49:13,574 --> 00:49:16,640
Hellfire, damnation,
that sort of thing.
771
00:49:18,885 --> 00:49:22,464
That kind of talk
is almost unforgivable.
772
00:49:25,382 --> 00:49:27,749
Well, then,
I'd say we have...
773
00:49:27,814 --> 00:49:29,440
something in common.
774
00:49:29,510 --> 00:49:33,700
Actually, Larry, there's something else
you and I have in common.
775
00:49:33,766 --> 00:49:35,108
What's that?
776
00:49:35,174 --> 00:49:40,128
We're both trying to release people
from sexual repression.
777
00:49:41,607 --> 00:49:42,654
Really.
778
00:49:43,399 --> 00:49:45,766
Sorry, Mrs. Stapleton.
779
00:49:50,086 --> 00:49:52,770
So, tell me, your brother...
780
00:49:52,838 --> 00:49:56,002
Ji... Mr. President...
781
00:49:56,070 --> 00:49:57,925
Jimmy will be fine.
782
00:50:01,639 --> 00:50:04,006
Do you think he ever...
783
00:50:04,071 --> 00:50:05,533
read my publication?
784
00:50:05,608 --> 00:50:08,706
You remember that interview
he gave Playboy magazine?
785
00:50:08,775 --> 00:50:11,809
The one where he admitted
he had lust in his heart?
786
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,019
I was especially proud of that.
787
00:50:14,088 --> 00:50:15,877
I'm sure you were...
788
00:50:15,944 --> 00:50:19,140
but Oral Roberts wasn't
and Billy Graham wasn't.
789
00:50:19,209 --> 00:50:21,413
They took out after him
in public.
790
00:50:21,481 --> 00:50:24,644
So I don't think he's a big fan
of adult magazines.
791
00:50:26,759 --> 00:50:28,767
But, you know, Larry...
792
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,622
I'm more ambivalent
about what you do...
793
00:50:31,688 --> 00:50:34,339
because I think
that sexuality is...
794
00:50:34,408 --> 00:50:36,612
a God-given gift.
795
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,688
I have to agree with you.
796
00:50:38,761 --> 00:50:41,444
When I counsel Pentecostal women
in bad marriages...
797
00:50:41,512 --> 00:50:43,301
I don't take the Bible out.
798
00:50:43,368 --> 00:50:44,710
I say to them...
799
00:50:44,777 --> 00:50:47,647
"Get some make-up.
Get yourself some curlers.
800
00:50:47,721 --> 00:50:51,583
Make yourself beautiful, because
Jesus wants you to be beautiful."
801
00:50:51,657 --> 00:50:53,512
Yeah, well, that...
802
00:50:53,577 --> 00:50:56,893
You're something.
You surprise me.
803
00:50:56,969 --> 00:50:59,172
Larry, what was
your childhood like?
804
00:51:02,761 --> 00:51:07,518
You know, sometimes things happen to us
when we're very young...
805
00:51:09,033 --> 00:51:11,684
that can hurt
for many years after.
806
00:51:11,754 --> 00:51:14,569
I think we're all born
into this world...
807
00:51:25,162 --> 00:51:26,853
Why? Why?
808
00:51:26,922 --> 00:51:29,224
'Cause I had an epiphany.
Okay?
809
00:51:29,291 --> 00:51:31,266
- A what?
- An epiphany.
810
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:33,193
Where'd you learn
that damn word?
811
00:51:33,259 --> 00:51:35,941
This woman crookin' you so hard,
she's teaching you English now?
812
00:51:36,010 --> 00:51:37,766
She ain't crookin' me.
813
00:51:37,833 --> 00:51:40,583
I think it's more
an acid flashback.
814
00:51:40,650 --> 00:51:44,742
Don't belittle it like that.
It was a serious thing.
815
00:51:44,810 --> 00:51:47,941
Do you think that I wanted Jesus
to tap me on the shoulder?
816
00:51:48,010 --> 00:51:49,865
I'm the last guy who wanted that.
817
00:51:49,931 --> 00:51:53,924
I'm gettin' laid six times a day.
I got limousines, a jet, lots of money.
818
00:51:53,995 --> 00:51:57,858
I'm the last guy who wanted God
tapping him on the shoulder.
819
00:51:57,931 --> 00:51:59,906
I had an epiphany.
820
00:51:59,979 --> 00:52:02,881
- I had an epiphany once, Larry.
- What was that?
821
00:52:02,955 --> 00:52:07,265
When my daddy shot
my entire family in the head...
822
00:52:07,340 --> 00:52:10,339
and I was the only one
to identify the bodies.
823
00:52:10,411 --> 00:52:14,667
I got sent to an orphanage
full of good Christian nuns...
824
00:52:14,731 --> 00:52:17,513
who shoved my face
into their pussies...
825
00:52:17,579 --> 00:52:19,434
with their crucifixes on...
826
00:52:19,500 --> 00:52:21,540
for eight goddamn years!
827
00:52:21,611 --> 00:52:24,481
I am genuinely sorry for you, baby,
but that does not...
828
00:52:24,556 --> 00:52:27,371
Don't be sorry for me!
Be sorry for yourself!
829
00:52:27,436 --> 00:52:29,541
- You'll need that in the pawn shop.
- Don't throw that!
830
00:52:29,612 --> 00:52:32,427
We're gonna be so broke,
you're gonna need that.
831
00:52:34,892 --> 00:52:36,321
Come on.
832
00:52:36,396 --> 00:52:38,403
It's okay.
833
00:52:38,476 --> 00:52:40,898
Just get behind me on this,
okay?
834
00:52:40,973 --> 00:52:42,828
That's all I'm asking.
835
00:52:42,893 --> 00:52:46,820
I feel like it's me against the world.
You're all I got, baby.
836
00:52:49,036 --> 00:52:51,687
Say you ain't gonna do this.
837
00:52:51,756 --> 00:52:54,374
- I'm doing it!
- No! You ain't gonna do it!
838
00:52:56,716 --> 00:52:59,302
Oh, now I'm baptized too.
Is that it?
839
00:52:59,373 --> 00:53:00,900
Fuck you, Larry!
840
00:53:00,973 --> 00:53:02,151
The Lord
841
00:53:03,693 --> 00:53:04,587
Oh, Lord
842
00:53:06,221 --> 00:53:07,203
My soul
843
00:53:08,557 --> 00:53:11,340
Doth magnify
844
00:53:11,406 --> 00:53:13,064
The Lord
845
00:53:17,518 --> 00:53:20,933
Do you accept the Lord Jesus Christ
as your Savior...
846
00:53:21,005 --> 00:53:23,755
and reject Satan
and all his works?
847
00:53:23,821 --> 00:53:25,861
I do.
848
00:53:29,101 --> 00:53:31,240
In obedience to the will of God...
849
00:53:31,310 --> 00:53:33,699
and upon the confession
of this, our brother...
850
00:53:33,774 --> 00:53:38,444
we baptize you in the name
of the Father, the Son...
851
00:53:38,510 --> 00:53:41,544
and in the name
of the Holy Spirit.
852
00:53:46,063 --> 00:53:47,918
Hallelujah
853
00:53:47,983 --> 00:53:49,609
Hallelujah!
854
00:53:53,999 --> 00:53:56,300
There will be no more...
855
00:53:57,518 --> 00:54:00,453
photo spreads of women alone.
856
00:54:00,526 --> 00:54:05,447
From now on, sex will be presented
in a more natural setting...
857
00:54:05,519 --> 00:54:07,374
with a man in the picture.
858
00:54:07,439 --> 00:54:09,676
You know, a Genesis pictorial...
859
00:54:09,743 --> 00:54:13,573
with Adam and Eve
getting it on in the Garden of Eden.
860
00:54:13,648 --> 00:54:17,357
Then next month
I'd like to have...
861
00:54:17,423 --> 00:54:20,806
pretty girls all floating
on big glass crucifixes.
862
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:23,433
Marjoe Gortner could shoot that.
863
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,465
I plead with you
not to do this.
864
00:54:28,848 --> 00:54:31,663
If you do this,
this company's gonna be worth nothin'.
865
00:54:31,728 --> 00:54:35,023
You're all looking at me
like I'm the one growing horns.
866
00:54:35,087 --> 00:54:38,949
Look around you.
We are living in Roman times.
867
00:54:40,752 --> 00:54:42,093
It is time...
868
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,877
to feed the lions
to the Christians.
869
00:54:44,944 --> 00:54:45,892
This is a joke.
870
00:54:45,968 --> 00:54:48,586
You're just doing this to...
871
00:54:48,657 --> 00:54:50,183
help our circulation.
872
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,546
Arlo.
873
00:55:02,577 --> 00:55:04,552
I love you, brother...
874
00:55:04,625 --> 00:55:07,658
but please
don't ever, ever, ever...
875
00:55:07,728 --> 00:55:10,696
doubt my sincerity.
876
00:55:12,657 --> 00:55:14,250
Use me
877
00:55:14,321 --> 00:55:18,511
For your service
878
00:55:19,505 --> 00:55:22,571
Dear Lord
879
00:55:22,641 --> 00:55:26,154
Just grant me the power
880
00:55:49,266 --> 00:55:51,754
This is making people sick.
881
00:55:51,827 --> 00:55:55,143
They're going up to newsstands
and they're puking, they're vomiting.
882
00:55:56,242 --> 00:55:58,184
I was just trying to illustrate...
883
00:55:58,258 --> 00:56:00,113
that I am no longer willing...
884
00:56:01,779 --> 00:56:03,786
to exploit the female body.
885
00:56:05,043 --> 00:56:07,345
You've failed miserably
at that.
886
00:56:07,411 --> 00:56:11,819
Nobody on this planet wants their
religion and their porn mixed together.
887
00:56:11,892 --> 00:56:13,997
Well, you know, Ruth says that...
888
00:56:14,068 --> 00:56:17,713
Well, get your friend Ruth to buy
two million of these magazines...
889
00:56:17,780 --> 00:56:19,601
because nobody else will do it.
890
00:56:23,475 --> 00:56:26,791
Larry, I'm not gonna pretend
that I understand...
891
00:56:26,867 --> 00:56:28,907
what you go through...
892
00:56:28,979 --> 00:56:31,281
what this spiritual thing
is to you.
893
00:56:31,348 --> 00:56:35,658
I never have, but I've always
been supportive. Always.
894
00:56:35,732 --> 00:56:37,554
And, honey...
895
00:56:37,620 --> 00:56:39,725
you're taking this too far now.
896
00:56:39,796 --> 00:56:41,356
It's going too far.
897
00:56:41,428 --> 00:56:43,283
It's like
you're losing your mind.
898
00:56:45,333 --> 00:56:46,958
My mind is fine.
899
00:56:47,765 --> 00:56:49,675
God is working through me.
900
00:56:49,748 --> 00:56:51,210
Don't you see that?
901
00:56:51,285 --> 00:56:55,757
I could accomplish anything.
I could move mountains with God's help.
902
00:56:55,828 --> 00:56:59,985
I could make that wall come
tumbling down with sheer willpower.
903
00:57:00,052 --> 00:57:03,183
God. Do it.
Just do it, then.
904
00:57:03,252 --> 00:57:05,107
- Do it.
- Do it?
905
00:57:15,413 --> 00:57:17,617
He's gonna be thrilled about this.
Really.
906
00:57:17,685 --> 00:57:20,074
Hey, Larry.
Yeah, it's Alan.
907
00:57:20,150 --> 00:57:23,445
I'm sitting here with the eminently
reasonable District Attorney of Georgia.
908
00:57:24,886 --> 00:57:26,741
He's very impressed
by your conversion.
909
00:57:26,806 --> 00:57:28,300
He's offering a plea bargain.
910
00:57:28,374 --> 00:57:32,235
A plea bargain
because I found God?
911
00:57:32,949 --> 00:57:34,924
Larry, listen to me.
912
00:57:34,998 --> 00:57:37,103
Don't argue with me on this.
913
00:57:37,174 --> 00:57:40,589
Just say yes, because I pulled
a lot of strings to make this happen.
914
00:57:41,430 --> 00:57:42,641
Is he there with you?
915
00:57:43,926 --> 00:57:45,682
Could you do me a favor?
916
00:57:46,646 --> 00:57:49,777
Tell that miserable,
gray-haired bastard...
917
00:57:49,846 --> 00:57:51,188
to go fuck himself.
918
00:57:51,254 --> 00:57:52,399
We're goin' to trial.
919
00:57:52,470 --> 00:57:53,518
Okay. Right.
920
00:57:53,591 --> 00:57:55,282
Oh, and praise the Lord.
921
00:57:56,471 --> 00:57:57,845
Right.
922
00:58:01,751 --> 00:58:05,067
The Gwinnett County Court
is now in session.
923
00:58:05,143 --> 00:58:08,404
Mr. Flynt, how can you,
as a good Christian...
924
00:58:08,470 --> 00:58:09,681
defend this filth?
925
00:58:10,711 --> 00:58:12,237
I don't have to.
926
00:58:12,310 --> 00:58:14,645
It may be wrong,
in some people's opinion...
927
00:58:14,711 --> 00:58:17,078
to portray women
the way I have...
928
00:58:17,143 --> 00:58:18,998
but it's not illegal.
929
00:58:19,063 --> 00:58:23,057
It may not be smart to have too much
to drink, but it's not illegal.
930
00:58:24,055 --> 00:58:27,765
Abortion may be
morally repugnant...
931
00:58:27,831 --> 00:58:29,686
but right now it's not illegal.
932
00:58:29,752 --> 00:58:32,469
If we want to change the laws,
that's another discussion...
933
00:58:32,536 --> 00:58:37,108
but our right to decide for ourselves
cannot be restricted.
934
00:58:38,488 --> 00:58:40,877
George Orwell said that...
935
00:58:42,135 --> 00:58:43,542
if liberty means anything...
936
00:58:43,608 --> 00:58:46,957
it means the right to tell people
what they don't wanna hear.
937
00:58:47,032 --> 00:58:49,715
Now, America...
938
00:58:49,784 --> 00:58:52,883
is the strongest country
in the world today...
939
00:58:52,952 --> 00:58:55,570
only because it is
the freest country.
940
00:58:55,640 --> 00:59:00,147
If it ever loses sight
of its basic heritage...
941
00:59:00,216 --> 00:59:02,388
and the principles involved...
942
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:05,975
then we will no longer
be free.
943
00:59:07,065 --> 00:59:08,789
That was a bang-up job.
944
00:59:10,745 --> 00:59:12,949
Larry, did you pray
before entering the courtroom?
945
00:59:13,017 --> 00:59:15,767
- No comment.
- Is your wife jealous of Ruth?
946
00:59:19,864 --> 00:59:21,719
Do you have any comment?
947
00:59:21,785 --> 00:59:24,152
- Is that true?
- Do you have anything to say?
948
00:59:35,737 --> 00:59:39,382
This is Jackson. We got shots fired
in front of the courthouse.
949
00:59:40,890 --> 00:59:43,541
- Somebody help!
- We need an ambulance right away.
950
00:59:52,154 --> 00:59:53,364
Stand back.
951
01:00:09,178 --> 01:00:12,310
Got a 36-year-old male,
gunshot wound, left shoulder.
952
01:00:13,339 --> 01:00:15,641
Patient has no movement
or sensation...
953
01:00:15,707 --> 01:00:18,904
I want him alive. I don't care
if his head's in a fishbowl!
954
01:00:18,972 --> 01:00:20,565
Mrs. Flynt...
955
01:00:21,436 --> 01:00:23,378
there's something
you have to know...
956
01:00:23,452 --> 01:00:25,307
before you go in that room.
957
01:00:49,436 --> 01:00:52,154
They say that you're paralyzed.
958
01:00:53,756 --> 01:00:57,052
They say you're paralyzed
from the waist down.
959
01:01:00,029 --> 01:01:04,119
They say that
you ain't gonna walk again.
960
01:01:04,988 --> 01:01:06,843
From the waist down?
961
01:01:08,476 --> 01:01:10,484
I fuckin' love you.
962
01:01:20,605 --> 01:01:22,972
I'm so sorry, Althea.
963
01:01:27,134 --> 01:01:28,508
Larry.
964
01:01:30,142 --> 01:01:32,247
My dearest, how are you?
965
01:01:32,318 --> 01:01:34,173
Oh, the pain.
966
01:01:37,118 --> 01:01:40,598
I feel like I'm in hell.
967
01:01:41,630 --> 01:01:43,670
No, you're not in hell.
968
01:01:44,702 --> 01:01:45,847
You belong to God.
969
01:01:47,422 --> 01:01:49,364
I wish he'd killed me.
970
01:01:49,438 --> 01:01:51,063
I do.
971
01:01:51,134 --> 01:01:54,004
I can't ever walk again.
972
01:01:55,038 --> 01:01:57,591
I can't make love to my wife.
973
01:01:59,902 --> 01:02:00,884
I can't...
974
01:02:02,206 --> 01:02:04,661
have a child with her.
975
01:02:04,734 --> 01:02:07,517
But don't give in
to the bitterness.
976
01:02:07,583 --> 01:02:11,740
You'll be so much stronger
if you keep your faith.
977
01:02:11,807 --> 01:02:13,978
God will see you through this.
978
01:02:14,047 --> 01:02:15,421
Ruth...
979
01:02:17,247 --> 01:02:18,905
there is no God.
980
01:02:20,702 --> 01:02:24,477
Take this down. I want all this
Christian stuff out of here now.
981
01:02:27,647 --> 01:02:29,371
Ladies. Gentlemen.
982
01:02:30,752 --> 01:02:34,811
The reign of Christian terror
at this magazine is now over.
983
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:38,524
We're smut peddlers again.
We're going back to our roots.
984
01:02:38,591 --> 01:02:39,966
We are porn again.
985
01:02:40,032 --> 01:02:41,210
When's Larry coming back?
986
01:02:43,841 --> 01:02:45,728
Larry's coming back soon.
987
01:02:45,792 --> 01:02:47,702
So, what do we know?
988
01:02:49,856 --> 01:02:51,797
The FBI ain't got nothin'.
989
01:02:51,872 --> 01:02:54,807
- That's what we know.
- Who'd wanna shoot you, Larry?
990
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:56,789
Who wouldn't want to, Jimmy?
991
01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:00,157
- I'd say it was the CIA.
- Why?
992
01:03:00,224 --> 01:03:03,704
Because of the million dollars
that was offered for JFK's killers.
993
01:03:05,088 --> 01:03:08,187
I think it was the interracial
photo spreads and the KKK.
994
01:03:08,256 --> 01:03:10,558
It wasn't the KKK.
It was the Mob.
995
01:03:10,624 --> 01:03:13,723
The extreme religious right.
They control all the fanatics.
996
01:03:13,793 --> 01:03:17,470
You've just named every American psycho.
Let's try to narrow the field a bit.
997
01:03:18,498 --> 01:03:21,181
Larry, you're always, always...
998
01:03:21,249 --> 01:03:24,064
gonna have to
watch your ass forever.
999
01:03:25,474 --> 01:03:29,663
I oughta move somewhere
where perverts are welcome.
1000
01:04:17,826 --> 01:04:20,193
Where you goin', baby?
1001
01:04:20,259 --> 01:04:22,266
To get some ice cream.
You want some?
1002
01:04:23,011 --> 01:04:24,091
I want some more.
1003
01:04:24,163 --> 01:04:26,268
I just gave you
twice your dose.
1004
01:04:26,339 --> 01:04:28,728
Please. Please. Please.
1005
01:04:28,803 --> 01:04:30,876
Larry, you're gonna overdose.
1006
01:04:30,948 --> 01:04:33,883
I'm not gonna overdose.
I'm in pain.
1007
01:04:33,956 --> 01:04:36,443
- You're just doing this to get off.
- More!
1008
01:04:43,684 --> 01:04:47,033
I'm only giving you half
of what I just gave you.
1009
01:04:47,108 --> 01:04:48,733
Don't ask for any more.
1010
01:05:14,788 --> 01:05:16,163
Tight.
1011
01:05:29,221 --> 01:05:31,293
Okay, let go.
1012
01:05:33,958 --> 01:05:35,168
You all right?
1013
01:05:35,237 --> 01:05:37,092
I love you, baby.
1014
01:06:40,039 --> 01:06:41,894
Oh, God.
1015
01:07:25,097 --> 01:07:26,471
Hi, Doctor Bob.
1016
01:07:26,537 --> 01:07:28,993
Hello, Althea.
How's Larry today?
1017
01:07:29,066 --> 01:07:30,342
Shitty.
1018
01:07:31,786 --> 01:07:33,924
Pretty shitty.
1019
01:07:33,994 --> 01:07:36,513
How are you today, Larry?
1020
01:07:36,585 --> 01:07:38,079
Terrible.
1021
01:07:38,153 --> 01:07:40,935
- I'm in pain.
- He can hardly talk.
1022
01:07:41,001 --> 01:07:43,816
You know, Larry,
we're running out of options here.
1023
01:07:43,881 --> 01:07:47,361
The drugs, your pain...
it's going to kill you.
1024
01:07:47,433 --> 01:07:48,743
Something stronger.
1025
01:07:51,402 --> 01:07:53,704
This is 30 grand.
1026
01:07:53,770 --> 01:07:57,862
Can we just have our medicine, please,
Doctor Bob, in peace?
1027
01:07:58,890 --> 01:08:00,745
Larry, there is an operation...
1028
01:08:00,810 --> 01:08:03,941
and apparently it's been
very successful for this kind of pain.
1029
01:08:05,739 --> 01:08:08,554
- Ready for the laser.
- Laser ready, five watts.
1030
01:08:09,579 --> 01:08:10,823
Okay, let's go.
1031
01:08:40,748 --> 01:08:42,341
Hey, baby.
1032
01:08:43,468 --> 01:08:44,515
What's that?
1033
01:08:45,196 --> 01:08:47,879
Some lady died down the hall.
1034
01:08:47,947 --> 01:08:49,703
I got her flowers.
1035
01:08:53,963 --> 01:08:55,173
How do you feel?
1036
01:08:56,076 --> 01:08:58,215
I feel good.
1037
01:08:58,284 --> 01:08:59,778
You feel good?
1038
01:08:59,852 --> 01:09:01,925
Yeah, I feel...
1039
01:09:01,996 --> 01:09:03,337
I feel great.
1040
01:09:03,404 --> 01:09:05,958
For the first time
since those bullets...
1041
01:09:06,700 --> 01:09:08,555
I don't feel any pain.
1042
01:09:10,092 --> 01:09:11,685
I don't want it.
1043
01:09:11,756 --> 01:09:13,611
What do you... I don't...
1044
01:09:15,533 --> 01:09:16,810
I feel good.
1045
01:09:16,877 --> 01:09:19,114
And you're not on nothin'.
1046
01:09:19,181 --> 01:09:21,996
You're crookin' me,
or you're a fuckin' liar.
1047
01:09:23,116 --> 01:09:26,378
You've been on drugs
for four or five years.
1048
01:09:26,445 --> 01:09:31,496
I have a hard time believing that
you feel really great on nothin' now.
1049
01:09:31,564 --> 01:09:34,215
Is it that hard to believe
that I don't want any?
1050
01:09:35,405 --> 01:09:36,681
Yes.
1051
01:09:36,749 --> 01:09:39,564
I was taking the drugs
'cause I was in pain.
1052
01:09:39,630 --> 01:09:41,735
I'm not in pain now,
so I don't want it.
1053
01:09:41,806 --> 01:09:43,464
Why would I want it?
1054
01:09:43,533 --> 01:09:45,770
- I don't know.
- Why do you want it?
1055
01:09:48,206 --> 01:09:53,127
Well, if I don't take it I'll go
into seizures and get really sick.
1056
01:09:53,198 --> 01:09:55,053
And it makes me feel good.
Here.
1057
01:09:55,118 --> 01:09:57,452
- I don't want it!
- In two hours you will.
1058
01:09:57,519 --> 01:09:59,852
I'm done with it.
Okay?
1059
01:09:59,917 --> 01:10:02,284
- You've said this before.
- Stop it!
1060
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:03,943
'Cause you're fuckin' on...
1061
01:10:04,749 --> 01:10:06,091
Here.
1062
01:10:07,438 --> 01:10:09,380
- Stop it.
- Get away from me!
1063
01:10:09,454 --> 01:10:10,664
- Stop.
- I don't want it!
1064
01:10:10,734 --> 01:10:13,963
You're gonna hurt yourself.
Stop it, please.
1065
01:10:16,526 --> 01:10:17,900
I don't know.
1066
01:10:20,815 --> 01:10:24,111
Been through a lot together.
We can make it through this.
1067
01:10:26,927 --> 01:10:28,782
You're gonna go cold turkey?
1068
01:10:28,848 --> 01:10:30,986
I am, and so are you.
1069
01:10:31,055 --> 01:10:33,292
- Okay?
- No.
1070
01:10:33,359 --> 01:10:34,406
Yes.
1071
01:10:34,478 --> 01:10:36,551
Okay.
1072
01:10:40,815 --> 01:10:42,703
I can't, Larry.
1073
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:48,454
- What am I gonna do?
- What do I need that shit for?
1074
01:10:48,527 --> 01:10:50,894
I want my mind back.
1075
01:11:16,048 --> 01:11:17,422
The pervert is back!
1076
01:11:22,480 --> 01:11:23,887
What's your name?
1077
01:11:23,953 --> 01:11:25,611
Sophie.
1078
01:11:25,681 --> 01:11:28,201
Tell everybody
the pervert is back.
1079
01:11:30,609 --> 01:11:32,649
The pervert is back.
1080
01:11:36,017 --> 01:11:38,832
Circulation is down
by a third.
1081
01:11:38,897 --> 01:11:41,712
The color reproduction
is horrible.
1082
01:11:43,314 --> 01:11:46,510
The models look like
they're three-dollar whores.
1083
01:11:46,577 --> 01:11:50,254
The writing is by
some moronic idiot.
1084
01:11:51,729 --> 01:11:53,420
Mr. Flynt?
1085
01:11:53,489 --> 01:11:55,856
I don't wanna step
on your toes...
1086
01:11:55,921 --> 01:11:59,816
but things have changed since you
were actively running the company.
1087
01:11:59,890 --> 01:12:02,989
I mean, I look back at the stuff
you did in the '70s...
1088
01:12:03,058 --> 01:12:06,473
and it was sort of racy
and crazy...
1089
01:12:06,546 --> 01:12:08,848
but the country's
different now.
1090
01:12:08,914 --> 01:12:10,769
Reagan has rebuilt America...
1091
01:12:10,834 --> 01:12:13,223
and the Moral Majority
is gaining power.
1092
01:12:13,298 --> 01:12:14,859
You're fired.
1093
01:12:15,891 --> 01:12:16,938
Excuse me?
1094
01:12:17,011 --> 01:12:18,189
You...
1095
01:12:18,259 --> 01:12:20,299
get the fuck out of my building!
1096
01:12:20,371 --> 01:12:21,744
Get him outta here!
1097
01:12:21,810 --> 01:12:25,007
He's a blow-dried,
jerk motherfucker!
1098
01:12:25,074 --> 01:12:26,983
Throw him in the incinerator!
1099
01:12:27,058 --> 01:12:30,092
Cut him into pieces
and feed him to the animals!
1100
01:12:30,163 --> 01:12:31,886
- Get outta here!
- Larry!
1101
01:12:33,235 --> 01:12:37,643
You can't do that!
He's our vice president of marketing!
1102
01:12:37,715 --> 01:12:40,814
Hey, Jimbo, are you trying
to challenge my authority?
1103
01:12:40,883 --> 01:12:44,112
You see that on the wall?
"LFP."
1104
01:12:44,179 --> 01:12:45,772
That's Larry Flynt Publications.
1105
01:12:45,843 --> 01:12:48,811
Not "JFP." Okay?
1106
01:12:48,884 --> 01:12:52,364
I'm the big kahuna here.
Do you have a problem with that?
1107
01:12:52,436 --> 01:12:54,770
No, Larry.
1108
01:12:54,836 --> 01:12:56,210
You're the boss.
1109
01:13:00,339 --> 01:13:02,346
So, uh, Larry...
1110
01:13:02,419 --> 01:13:04,688
what's the plan?
1111
01:13:06,195 --> 01:13:08,018
Plan.
1112
01:13:08,084 --> 01:13:10,255
The plan is simple.
1113
01:13:10,324 --> 01:13:12,463
The establishment...
1114
01:13:12,532 --> 01:13:14,387
took my manhood from me...
1115
01:13:15,188 --> 01:13:17,871
but they left
the half with my brain...
1116
01:13:17,940 --> 01:13:20,013
and I'm gonna use it...
1117
01:13:20,085 --> 01:13:21,776
to get back.
1118
01:13:27,061 --> 01:13:28,403
Wake up.
1119
01:13:28,469 --> 01:13:29,549
Who is this?
1120
01:13:29,621 --> 01:13:30,996
It's Larry Flynt.
1121
01:13:31,061 --> 01:13:35,337
Is CBS interested
in seeing videotape of the FBI...
1122
01:13:35,412 --> 01:13:38,412
selling John Delorean
50 kilos of cocaine?
1123
01:13:39,444 --> 01:13:41,135
- Are you Mr. Waverly?
- Yeah.
1124
01:13:41,205 --> 01:13:43,278
- Who are you?
- I'm Mrs. Flynt.
1125
01:13:50,646 --> 01:13:52,500
Do you want some coffee...
1126
01:13:52,566 --> 01:13:53,810
or tea or sandwiches...
1127
01:13:53,878 --> 01:13:56,333
or Ho-Hos or Pringles
or something?
1128
01:13:56,406 --> 01:13:59,406
No, that's all right.
Can I just see the tape?
1129
01:14:02,806 --> 01:14:05,294
- John Delorean.
- There's Delorean.
1130
01:14:05,366 --> 01:14:07,821
These are the drug dealers.
1131
01:14:07,894 --> 01:14:10,130
- Guess what this is.
- The coke?
1132
01:14:10,198 --> 01:14:11,725
That whole suitcase?
1133
01:14:11,798 --> 01:14:13,423
Yeah. Watch this.
1134
01:14:13,494 --> 01:14:16,626
Delorean...
The first time to touch it.
1135
01:14:16,694 --> 01:14:20,207
That's it. That's all the contact
he had with that cocaine.
1136
01:14:21,494 --> 01:14:24,811
This is my favorite part.
They can't get this damn...
1137
01:14:24,886 --> 01:14:27,734
They can't get
the suitcase closed. Right?
1138
01:14:27,798 --> 01:14:30,515
There's a lot of cocaine
in this motherfucker.
1139
01:14:30,582 --> 01:14:33,266
How do they get
the damn thing closed?
1140
01:14:33,335 --> 01:14:35,223
- They're all pushing down on it.
- Amazing.
1141
01:14:35,287 --> 01:14:36,945
Now they do a toast.
1142
01:14:37,655 --> 01:14:39,084
Now watch this.
1143
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:40,851
This is weird.
1144
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:43,091
There's a knock at the door.
1145
01:14:43,159 --> 01:14:45,133
Tubby goes to the door.
1146
01:14:45,207 --> 01:14:46,483
Look.
1147
01:14:46,550 --> 01:14:49,617
Four million dollars worth of cocaine.
Nobody's even nervous.
1148
01:14:49,687 --> 01:14:51,061
Now watch.
1149
01:14:54,551 --> 01:14:57,453
FBI. FBI, right?
1150
01:14:57,527 --> 01:15:00,691
This guy's got a good camera sense.
Watch him clear camera.
1151
01:15:00,759 --> 01:15:03,410
Let me get outta your way.
Watch this guy.
1152
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:05,814
Grabs his champagne...
1153
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:07,157
and walks away.
1154
01:15:07,224 --> 01:15:10,039
These guys
aren't concerned about him...
1155
01:15:10,104 --> 01:15:13,138
because they're FBI!
1156
01:15:13,209 --> 01:15:17,103
The tapes are genuine, newsworthy,
and we have a right to broadcast them.
1157
01:15:17,176 --> 01:15:20,787
- This is stolen government evidence.
- This makes a fair trial impossible.
1158
01:15:20,855 --> 01:15:23,638
My client, Mr. Delorean,
will never find an impartial jury.
1159
01:15:23,704 --> 01:15:26,257
We're talking basic
constitutional rights here.
1160
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,346
Gentlemen.
Gentlemen, please.
1161
01:15:31,416 --> 01:15:33,140
These are stolen tapes.
1162
01:15:33,209 --> 01:15:35,543
Gentlemen, that's enough!
1163
01:15:35,608 --> 01:15:36,536
It's stolen, Judge!
1164
01:15:40,281 --> 01:15:43,380
Here is the Campari
ad campaign parody.
1165
01:15:43,449 --> 01:15:47,093
"Jerry Falwell
talks about his first time."
1166
01:15:49,690 --> 01:15:51,545
You guys are stupid.
1167
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:53,879
You ever have anything
positive to say, Jimmy?
1168
01:15:56,569 --> 01:15:59,384
I got a subpoena here for you
to appear in Federal Court tomorrow...
1169
01:15:59,450 --> 01:16:01,719
to reveal the source
of the Delorean tape.
1170
01:16:01,785 --> 01:16:03,956
The FBI got very pissed off.
1171
01:16:04,025 --> 01:16:06,546
They want you in front
of the judge tomorrow.
1172
01:16:06,618 --> 01:16:10,513
You tell that judge
I'm wipin' my ass with his subpoena.
1173
01:16:10,586 --> 01:16:13,106
Why is your client doing this?
1174
01:16:13,178 --> 01:16:15,218
My client is
a very complicated man.
1175
01:16:15,290 --> 01:16:17,145
He's heavily medicated,
among other things.
1176
01:16:17,210 --> 01:16:19,185
I believe him to be
manic-depressive.
1177
01:16:19,259 --> 01:16:22,292
I'II give him something
to be depressed about.
1178
01:16:23,322 --> 01:16:25,177
I'm issuing a bench
warrant for his arrest.
1179
01:16:44,571 --> 01:16:47,539
"If anyone tries coming after me,
I'll shoot him between the eyes."
1180
01:16:49,147 --> 01:16:53,173
Flynt has been barricaded in his
Beverly Hills compound for three days.
1181
01:17:04,028 --> 01:17:05,403
Holy shit!
1182
01:17:05,980 --> 01:17:06,928
Freeze!
1183
01:17:07,004 --> 01:17:08,378
Federal marshals!
1184
01:17:08,443 --> 01:17:09,458
Drop the gun now!
1185
01:17:10,492 --> 01:17:13,394
Hands on your head now!
1186
01:17:14,940 --> 01:17:16,501
On your knees!
1187
01:17:21,020 --> 01:17:22,907
NBC. ABC.
1188
01:17:23,708 --> 01:17:26,523
What's wrong with you, CBS?
1189
01:17:26,588 --> 01:17:28,531
We're Federal marshals!
Come out!
1190
01:17:28,604 --> 01:17:29,979
Shut up!
1191
01:17:31,005 --> 01:17:33,820
Where are your fuckin' priorities?
1192
01:17:33,885 --> 01:17:36,536
We interrupt this program
for a special report...
1193
01:17:37,597 --> 01:17:41,077
I turned the whole world
into a tabloid!
1194
01:17:43,292 --> 01:17:44,699
Here I come!
1195
01:17:52,285 --> 01:17:55,154
Larry, are you going somewhere?
1196
01:17:55,229 --> 01:17:57,139
Yeah.
1197
01:17:58,077 --> 01:17:59,965
Roll on out of there now!
1198
01:18:00,029 --> 01:18:02,298
Will you get me some bananas?
1199
01:18:02,366 --> 01:18:05,432
Yes, I'll get you bananas
1200
01:18:05,502 --> 01:18:07,891
Thank you, honey.
1201
01:18:12,830 --> 01:18:16,442
Raise your right hand
and place your left hand on the Bible.
1202
01:18:20,893 --> 01:18:23,796
Do you swear to tell the whole truth
and nothing but the truth...
1203
01:18:23,870 --> 01:18:25,080
so help you God?
1204
01:18:25,150 --> 01:18:26,557
No.
1205
01:18:30,366 --> 01:18:31,577
I'm an atheist.
1206
01:18:31,646 --> 01:18:35,388
I can't very well swear to a God
I don't believe exists.
1207
01:18:37,983 --> 01:18:40,503
Mr. Flynt, you are a handful.
1208
01:18:41,471 --> 01:18:42,518
I know, Your Honor.
1209
01:18:42,591 --> 01:18:45,341
We'II allow you to affirm,
if that's satisfactory with you, sir.
1210
01:18:46,367 --> 01:18:47,577
That would satisfy me.
1211
01:18:50,143 --> 01:18:52,216
I just need you to answer
one question...
1212
01:18:52,288 --> 01:18:54,970
and then you are able
to go back home.
1213
01:18:55,038 --> 01:18:56,282
Shoot.
1214
01:18:56,351 --> 01:18:58,839
What was the source
of this videotape?
1215
01:18:58,911 --> 01:19:02,424
Your Honor, Vicki Morgan
was Alfred Bloomingdale's mistress...
1216
01:19:02,495 --> 01:19:03,640
Excuse me, Your Honor.
1217
01:19:03,711 --> 01:19:04,857
It's okay, Alan.
1218
01:19:06,496 --> 01:19:09,911
Alfred introduced her
to all Reagan's cabinet buddies.
1219
01:19:09,984 --> 01:19:12,667
She was a real party girl
and they really liked her...
1220
01:19:12,736 --> 01:19:16,031
if you know what I mean,
Your Honor.
1221
01:19:16,096 --> 01:19:18,617
So the thing about Vicki is...
1222
01:19:18,688 --> 01:19:21,306
she was a bit naive...
1223
01:19:21,376 --> 01:19:23,547
and she started writing a book...
1224
01:19:23,617 --> 01:19:27,741
about all these orgies
that they were having.
1225
01:19:27,809 --> 01:19:31,190
The next thing you know... Bam!
She's murdered.
1226
01:19:31,264 --> 01:19:34,614
But what these White House killers
don't realize is that...
1227
01:19:34,688 --> 01:19:36,150
Vicki...
1228
01:19:36,224 --> 01:19:38,111
kept some videotapes...
1229
01:19:38,177 --> 01:19:39,387
of their sexcapades.
1230
01:19:39,456 --> 01:19:41,977
These tapes, Your Honor...
1231
01:19:42,048 --> 01:19:43,958
are pure...
1232
01:19:44,033 --> 01:19:45,309
carnality.
1233
01:19:45,377 --> 01:19:46,359
Filthy.
1234
01:19:46,432 --> 01:19:50,077
I've never seen anything...
Well, I have.
1235
01:19:50,145 --> 01:19:53,658
But most people haven't seen
anything like this, Your Honor.
1236
01:19:53,729 --> 01:19:57,341
What has this got to do
with the Delorean trial?
1237
01:19:59,521 --> 01:20:01,376
That's a good question.
1238
01:20:02,466 --> 01:20:05,564
Well, technically, nothing,
Your Honor...
1239
01:20:05,633 --> 01:20:09,888
but I had those tapes and this tape,
and it just made me think of it.
1240
01:20:09,953 --> 01:20:13,598
Well, Mr. Flynt, I'd appreciate it
if you would stick to the subject.
1241
01:20:14,914 --> 01:20:18,558
I'II ask again:
What was the source of this videotape?
1242
01:20:18,626 --> 01:20:21,626
With all due respect,
you don't have the right to ask.
1243
01:20:21,698 --> 01:20:24,381
That's it.
You're in contempt of court.
1244
01:20:24,450 --> 01:20:27,418
As of tomorrow,
I'm fining you $10,000 a day...
1245
01:20:27,491 --> 01:20:30,720
until you reveal the source
of your videotape.
1246
01:20:37,795 --> 01:20:39,519
Look. There's Larry.
1247
01:20:39,587 --> 01:20:40,796
There he is.
1248
01:20:40,866 --> 01:20:44,215
- Mr. Flynt!
- Make way. Let us through here.
1249
01:20:44,290 --> 01:20:46,145
Mr. Flynt,
is this a conspiracy?
1250
01:20:49,571 --> 01:20:53,881
Oh, say, can you see
1251
01:20:53,955 --> 01:20:58,232
By the dawn's early light
1252
01:20:59,651 --> 01:21:02,618
- What so proudly we hail
- Where are the Vicki Morgan tapes?
1253
01:21:05,411 --> 01:21:07,833
Do you really have
the Vicki Morgan sex tapes?
1254
01:21:07,908 --> 01:21:11,105
No. I just told 'em
I had the Delorean tapes.
1255
01:21:11,172 --> 01:21:13,441
Now they believe
anything I say.
1256
01:21:13,508 --> 01:21:14,752
Sir, take that helmet off.
1257
01:21:14,820 --> 01:21:16,990
We don't wear hats
in a Federal courtroom.
1258
01:21:17,060 --> 01:21:18,750
There's no war going on here.
1259
01:21:18,819 --> 01:21:21,951
Well, you can never be
too careful, Your Honor.
1260
01:21:22,020 --> 01:21:25,020
Don't worry, Mr. Flynt. The U.S.
Government will take care of you.
1261
01:21:25,092 --> 01:21:26,947
We brought extra marshals
in today...
1262
01:21:27,012 --> 01:21:29,663
so I'd appreciate
your taking off that helmet.
1263
01:21:30,500 --> 01:21:31,929
Sir, are you here now...
1264
01:21:32,004 --> 01:21:35,234
to obey the court and reveal
the source of the videotape...
1265
01:21:35,301 --> 01:21:37,275
or to pay the $10,000?
1266
01:21:41,221 --> 01:21:43,588
- I'd like a moment with my client.
- No!
1267
01:21:43,652 --> 01:21:47,908
It is my right, under the freedom
of the First Amendment...
1268
01:21:47,973 --> 01:21:49,500
to protect my sources.
1269
01:21:49,573 --> 01:21:51,329
Listen, don't go any further.
1270
01:21:51,397 --> 01:21:54,364
- Let me talk for one second.
- Shut up! Relax, Alan.
1271
01:21:55,909 --> 01:21:58,778
Is that an American flag
you have on there, sir?
1272
01:21:58,853 --> 01:22:01,755
I have fashioned this American flag
into a diaper...
1273
01:22:01,829 --> 01:22:05,277
because if you're gonna treat me
like a baby, I'm gonna act like one.
1274
01:22:05,349 --> 01:22:09,124
Larry Flynt, I'm ordering you arrested
for desecration of the American flag.
1275
01:22:09,189 --> 01:22:11,044
Marshal, take him into custody.
1276
01:22:11,110 --> 01:22:13,477
We'd like to post bond,
if that's all right.
1277
01:22:14,342 --> 01:22:15,683
Take it easy.
1278
01:22:15,750 --> 01:22:17,124
Just a minute, Marshal.
1279
01:22:17,190 --> 01:22:18,368
Very well, Mr. Isaacman.
1280
01:22:18,438 --> 01:22:21,755
Court will set a bond
on Mr. Larry Flynt for $50,000.
1281
01:22:22,662 --> 01:22:24,320
And this time, sir...
1282
01:22:24,390 --> 01:22:26,114
I'd prefer a cashier's check.
1283
01:22:26,183 --> 01:22:27,392
Understood.
1284
01:22:27,461 --> 01:22:29,250
Furthermore...
1285
01:22:29,318 --> 01:22:32,188
I'm going to keep our Mr. Flynt
on a very tight leash.
1286
01:22:33,254 --> 01:22:35,109
As a condition of his bond...
1287
01:22:35,174 --> 01:22:37,989
he absolutely cannot leave
the state of California.
1288
01:22:41,991 --> 01:22:43,845
You're not getting on that plane.
1289
01:22:43,911 --> 01:22:45,798
- Yes, I am.
- No! Don't do it.
1290
01:22:45,862 --> 01:22:49,124
- Do you think this is a game?
- Yeah, you're right.
1291
01:22:49,190 --> 01:22:51,078
It's a fucking joke!
1292
01:22:51,143 --> 01:22:54,755
Five-and-a-half years since
they shot me, and the government...
1293
01:22:54,823 --> 01:22:57,573
Hey, I was there too.
You remember?
1294
01:22:58,312 --> 01:23:01,727
You don't see me pissing off everybody
who could help us.
1295
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:04,614
Yeah, well, you can walk
and you can fuck...
1296
01:23:04,679 --> 01:23:06,534
and I'm in this chair!
1297
01:23:08,551 --> 01:23:10,406
I got money...
1298
01:23:10,471 --> 01:23:13,854
and that gives me the power
to shake up this system.
1299
01:23:15,431 --> 01:23:19,588
Find somebody else to help you then,
because I didn't sign on for this.
1300
01:23:19,655 --> 01:23:22,044
I don't even know
what we're engaged in anymore.
1301
01:23:23,304 --> 01:23:25,213
If you get on that plane,
I quit.
1302
01:23:25,288 --> 01:23:27,743
Alan, don't be so melodramatic.
1303
01:23:27,816 --> 01:23:30,664
You don't wanna quit me.
I'm your dream client.
1304
01:23:30,728 --> 01:23:34,241
I'm the most fun, I'm rich
and I'm always in trouble.
1305
01:23:36,232 --> 01:23:38,687
Hey, go to hell, Larry.
Go to hell.
1306
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:41,149
Bye.
1307
01:23:46,792 --> 01:23:47,752
Why did you disobey
this court's order?
1308
01:23:47,752 --> 01:23:49,443
Why did you disobey
this court's order?
1309
01:23:49,513 --> 01:23:52,230
Didn't I make it clear
you were not to leave California?
1310
01:23:52,296 --> 01:23:54,151
We had an honest misunderstanding...
1311
01:23:54,216 --> 01:23:55,875
Counselor, he's right.
1312
01:23:55,945 --> 01:23:59,622
Some rules are made to help us,
not hurt us, and l...
1313
01:23:59,689 --> 01:24:01,631
I do apologize, Your Honor.
1314
01:24:03,658 --> 01:24:05,960
I want to 'fess up and reveal...
1315
01:24:07,017 --> 01:24:08,000
my source.
1316
01:24:08,073 --> 01:24:09,022
Tell me...
1317
01:24:09,098 --> 01:24:11,432
who was the source
of this videotape?
1318
01:24:14,121 --> 01:24:15,496
The samurai.
1319
01:24:15,561 --> 01:24:16,608
Excuse me?
1320
01:24:17,641 --> 01:24:19,714
The samurai gave me the tape.
1321
01:24:19,785 --> 01:24:21,989
Who is this man,
and where is he?
1322
01:24:22,954 --> 01:24:26,053
Unfortunately, he had
a critical groin injury...
1323
01:24:26,122 --> 01:24:28,260
on the way to give me the tape...
1324
01:24:28,330 --> 01:24:31,712
and he's undergoing acupuncture
treatment in Beijing, China.
1325
01:24:31,786 --> 01:24:33,510
- What is this?
- It's okay.
1326
01:24:33,578 --> 01:24:37,801
Mr. Flynt, this court fears
that you are seriously mentally ill.
1327
01:24:38,859 --> 01:24:40,964
Opinions are like assholes,
Your Honor.
1328
01:24:41,035 --> 01:24:44,351
- Everybody's got one.
- Cut it out. Shut up.
1329
01:24:44,427 --> 01:24:46,369
No, you shut up!
1330
01:24:46,443 --> 01:24:48,385
Let your lawyer do the talking.
1331
01:24:48,459 --> 01:24:51,076
No. I know the rules.
1332
01:24:51,146 --> 01:24:53,121
You're fired.
I'm representing myself.
1333
01:24:53,194 --> 01:24:56,991
- I am so tired of you. You're fired.
- You can't fuckin' fire me!
1334
01:24:57,067 --> 01:25:00,034
- You will not curse in this courtroom.
- What?
1335
01:25:00,106 --> 01:25:01,732
- Larry Flynt...
- How about spitting?
1336
01:25:03,115 --> 01:25:05,482
Marshal, put a gag on that man!
1337
01:25:05,547 --> 01:25:07,402
- Sit down, sir!
- You bastard!
1338
01:25:07,467 --> 01:25:09,573
Sit down, lady!
Lady, be seated!
1339
01:25:09,644 --> 01:25:12,960
- Get off me!
- Everybody down in this courtroom!
1340
01:25:16,556 --> 01:25:18,312
All right, Mr. Flynt...
1341
01:25:18,380 --> 01:25:21,195
are you willing
to calm down now, sir?
1342
01:25:23,597 --> 01:25:27,044
If I take that gag off, will you
show me and my courtroom staff...
1343
01:25:27,116 --> 01:25:28,970
the courtesy and respect
we deserve?
1344
01:25:30,604 --> 01:25:31,880
All right, Marshal.
1345
01:25:35,500 --> 01:25:38,467
Fuck you, you son of a bitch!
1346
01:25:38,540 --> 01:25:39,653
I've had enough.
1347
01:25:39,724 --> 01:25:42,626
Larry Flynt, you leave me no choice
but to sentence you...
1348
01:25:42,700 --> 01:25:43,878
to nine months.
1349
01:25:43,949 --> 01:25:47,015
- Is that all you got?
- Three more months, then.
1350
01:25:47,085 --> 01:25:48,808
- Fuck you, Your Honor!
- You want more?
1351
01:25:48,877 --> 01:25:50,306
- Stop it.
- Sit down!
1352
01:25:52,045 --> 01:25:55,493
Larry Flynt, you are hereby sentenced
to 15 months...
1353
01:25:55,565 --> 01:25:57,802
in a Federal psychiatric prison.
1354
01:26:00,526 --> 01:26:03,820
Don't look at me.
Ask for bail, Counselor.
1355
01:26:05,005 --> 01:26:07,372
Can I post bail, Your Honor?
1356
01:26:09,805 --> 01:26:11,332
Get him out of my courtroom.
1357
01:26:11,405 --> 01:26:13,096
Fuckin' bastard!
1358
01:26:13,166 --> 01:26:17,257
You can use all those foul words
behind four padded walls!
1359
01:26:44,046 --> 01:26:46,729
There's something
we'd like to show you, sir.
1360
01:26:51,438 --> 01:26:53,293
I don't understand.
1361
01:26:53,359 --> 01:26:55,431
The Reverend would never endorse
a liquor company.
1362
01:26:57,647 --> 01:26:59,621
Well, there's a larger problem.
1363
01:26:59,695 --> 01:27:00,972
Substantially larger.
1364
01:27:02,767 --> 01:27:03,815
You see, sir...
1365
01:27:03,888 --> 01:27:07,019
it says right there
that the Reverend...
1366
01:27:08,559 --> 01:27:10,894
It says, sir...
1367
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:13,894
that he fornicated with his mother
in an outhouse.
1368
01:27:17,455 --> 01:27:18,731
Give me a second.
1369
01:27:27,247 --> 01:27:30,062
What do you boys have
for me today?
1370
01:27:32,848 --> 01:27:35,663
I think you need to read this.
1371
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:52,655
Give me your jacket, please.
1372
01:28:05,169 --> 01:28:07,024
Stand up, please.
1373
01:28:13,810 --> 01:28:16,461
Raise your foot.
1374
01:28:16,530 --> 01:28:18,635
- Arms up.
- Arms what?
1375
01:28:18,706 --> 01:28:20,015
Arms up.
1376
01:28:39,250 --> 01:28:42,763
You look so good.
1377
01:28:45,714 --> 01:28:47,088
You look like shit.
1378
01:28:48,883 --> 01:28:50,093
What?
1379
01:28:53,491 --> 01:28:56,394
I don't want to work
at the magazine anymore.
1380
01:28:57,267 --> 01:28:58,249
People there...
1381
01:28:58,323 --> 01:29:00,810
don't listen to me...
1382
01:29:00,882 --> 01:29:03,784
and they don't talk to me.
1383
01:29:03,858 --> 01:29:05,713
They're afraid of me and...
1384
01:29:07,186 --> 01:29:09,041
they don't shake my hand.
1385
01:29:11,827 --> 01:29:14,413
I went to Dr. Robert and...
1386
01:29:18,867 --> 01:29:21,355
he told me that I was sick.
1387
01:29:22,516 --> 01:29:24,141
I mean...
1388
01:29:24,212 --> 01:29:25,587
sick sick.
1389
01:29:26,708 --> 01:29:29,774
I mean, I got AIDS, Larry.
1390
01:29:35,795 --> 01:29:38,130
They won't shake your hand?
1391
01:29:42,196 --> 01:29:44,138
Oh. Yes, sir. Yes.
1392
01:29:46,932 --> 01:29:49,201
Code pink. Code pink.
1393
01:29:56,277 --> 01:29:58,732
Larry, it's Jimmy here.
You there?
1394
01:29:58,805 --> 01:30:01,391
Larry?
Larry, you there?
1395
01:30:01,461 --> 01:30:05,105
I have some important
announcements to make.
1396
01:30:05,173 --> 01:30:08,076
- So, how's the hospital treatin' you?
- Never mind that.
1397
01:30:08,149 --> 01:30:10,636
Is everybody there?
1398
01:30:12,085 --> 01:30:13,394
Good.
1399
01:30:13,461 --> 01:30:14,890
You're all fired.
1400
01:30:16,789 --> 01:30:20,499
Larry, you can't just fire
these people. We need them.
1401
01:30:20,565 --> 01:30:25,900
Shut up. It's my business, and I'll
run it into the ground if I want to.
1402
01:30:27,125 --> 01:30:29,264
That's all. I gotta go.
1403
01:30:29,334 --> 01:30:30,960
What the fuck was that?
1404
01:30:33,206 --> 01:30:36,075
Just calm down, Arlo.
Don't panic on me.
1405
01:30:36,150 --> 01:30:38,965
- None of you guys are fired.
- But Larry just said that...
1406
01:30:39,030 --> 01:30:41,900
Yeah, well, what did Larry say?
He's in a nuthouse.
1407
01:30:41,975 --> 01:30:43,982
I said you're not fired.
Is that a problem?
1408
01:30:46,837 --> 01:30:48,626
Thank you.
1409
01:30:52,182 --> 01:30:54,124
Jesus, Althea.
1410
01:30:59,926 --> 01:31:01,301
Come on. Sit down.
1411
01:31:03,767 --> 01:31:05,807
You all right, Mrs. Flynt?
1412
01:31:05,878 --> 01:31:07,602
Fine, thanks.
1413
01:31:12,599 --> 01:31:15,915
You look different.
Did you change your hair?
1414
01:31:17,016 --> 01:31:18,870
Yeah, I changed my hair.
1415
01:31:18,936 --> 01:31:20,823
Yeah. I like it.
1416
01:31:20,887 --> 01:31:22,413
Yeah, my hair's different.
1417
01:31:24,471 --> 01:31:26,161
What's up?
1418
01:31:30,072 --> 01:31:31,981
I got this the other day...
1419
01:31:32,055 --> 01:31:35,351
and I brought it by to see
if you would look at it, please.
1420
01:31:39,288 --> 01:31:40,815
Wow. That is...
1421
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:43,120
I mean, this is...
1422
01:31:43,192 --> 01:31:44,501
It's intense.
1423
01:31:44,568 --> 01:31:46,162
Yes, it is.
1424
01:31:47,193 --> 01:31:49,713
What are we gonna do?
1425
01:31:49,784 --> 01:31:52,053
You're gonna give it
to Larry's lawyers.
1426
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:55,830
You are our lawyers.
You've always been our lawyers.
1427
01:31:55,897 --> 01:31:59,093
You're part of the family.
Don't listen to Larry.
1428
01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:01,778
- You know how he is.
- I don't know.
1429
01:32:02,809 --> 01:32:04,183
We need your help.
1430
01:32:04,248 --> 01:32:07,282
Please. Please help us.
1431
01:32:13,049 --> 01:32:14,259
Alan.
1432
01:32:18,969 --> 01:32:22,450
Boy, this is great, Larry.
This is really great.
1433
01:32:22,522 --> 01:32:25,653
- I hope it was worth it.
- Didn't I fire you?
1434
01:32:27,322 --> 01:32:31,097
Well, I mean, I've always ignored
most of what you said, right?
1435
01:32:35,769 --> 01:32:39,249
Well, listen,
I know the timing is lousy...
1436
01:32:39,321 --> 01:32:41,711
but you remember your Campari ad?
1437
01:32:42,874 --> 01:32:45,973
Jerry Falwell in the outhouse
with his mother?
1438
01:32:46,042 --> 01:32:47,897
Well, he saw it.
1439
01:32:50,458 --> 01:32:54,866
I guess it's safe to say
he didn't find it all that funny.
1440
01:32:56,282 --> 01:32:58,617
He is suing you...
1441
01:32:59,291 --> 01:33:00,371
for libel...
1442
01:33:00,443 --> 01:33:03,825
and intentional infliction
of emotional distress.
1443
01:33:03,899 --> 01:33:06,234
He is asking
for 40 million dollars.
1444
01:33:07,579 --> 01:33:08,789
This is Jerry Falwell...
1445
01:33:08,859 --> 01:33:10,233
in his home state.
1446
01:33:11,579 --> 01:33:13,434
So...
1447
01:33:13,499 --> 01:33:14,873
if you're up to it...
1448
01:33:14,938 --> 01:33:17,753
we ought to figure out
how you want to deal with this.
1449
01:33:21,595 --> 01:33:23,450
Countersue.
1450
01:33:23,515 --> 01:33:24,857
What?
1451
01:33:24,924 --> 01:33:26,298
Yeah Jerry, he's suing you.
1452
01:33:26,363 --> 01:33:28,916
He's suing me?
1453
01:33:28,987 --> 01:33:31,093
For heaven's sake,
on what grounds?
1454
01:33:31,164 --> 01:33:36,249
You xeroxed his ad and sent it out
in a million fund-raising letters.
1455
01:33:36,316 --> 01:33:37,526
Yeah? So?
1456
01:33:37,596 --> 01:33:39,506
But you didn't get
his permission...
1457
01:33:39,581 --> 01:33:41,304
and that's
copyright infringement.
1458
01:33:43,580 --> 01:33:47,354
The depth of his depravity
sickens me.
1459
01:34:10,845 --> 01:34:14,675
They are gonna put you on the stand.
Your testimony will make or break us.
1460
01:34:16,541 --> 01:34:18,167
Downplay how much
you hate Falwell.
1461
01:34:18,237 --> 01:34:21,270
You've got to make them understand
it was just a joke.
1462
01:34:21,341 --> 01:34:23,512
- I'm just a clown.
- Take this one seriously.
1463
01:34:23,581 --> 01:34:27,771
Don't fuck it up. This will be the most
expensive case ever for you if you lose.
1464
01:34:41,406 --> 01:34:44,472
Reverend Falwell, you're a preacher.
Is that right?
1465
01:34:44,542 --> 01:34:45,819
Yes, I am.
1466
01:34:45,886 --> 01:34:49,334
As a preacher, you speak
to a fairly broad audience.
1467
01:34:49,407 --> 01:34:52,789
I mean, you preach on television
and on your Old Time Gospel Radio Hour.
1468
01:34:52,862 --> 01:34:54,389
I do.
1469
01:34:54,463 --> 01:34:56,917
So you've achieved
a certain notoriety...
1470
01:34:56,989 --> 01:35:00,568
one might say a national reputation,
for your sermons...
1471
01:35:00,638 --> 01:35:02,493
and opinions and ideas...
1472
01:35:02,558 --> 01:35:04,630
and your leadership
of the Moral Majority.
1473
01:35:04,702 --> 01:35:07,572
Yes. Our membership
is now over five million.
1474
01:35:07,647 --> 01:35:09,851
But even beyond
your membership, really...
1475
01:35:09,919 --> 01:35:12,570
you've been recognized...
1476
01:35:12,639 --> 01:35:14,843
and awarded for your efforts
all over America.
1477
01:35:14,911 --> 01:35:18,228
I have a number
of honorary degrees.
1478
01:35:18,303 --> 01:35:21,981
In a recent poll
of Good Housekeeping magazine...
1479
01:35:22,048 --> 01:35:25,179
I was voted
second most admired American...
1480
01:35:25,247 --> 01:35:26,971
behind President Reagan.
1481
01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:29,244
Good Housekeeping.
That's... That's...
1482
01:35:29,312 --> 01:35:31,450
I mean, hey, you're famous.
Right?
1483
01:35:31,519 --> 01:35:33,886
Well, I suppose
you could say that.
1484
01:35:35,039 --> 01:35:36,894
Reverend Falwell, have you ever
had sex with your mother?
1485
01:35:40,896 --> 01:35:42,205
Absolutely not.
1486
01:35:42,271 --> 01:35:43,766
Never?
1487
01:35:43,839 --> 01:35:46,392
Never in the outhouse,
as Hustler magazine suggested?
1488
01:35:46,463 --> 01:35:49,278
That is an absurd question.
1489
01:35:49,344 --> 01:35:52,093
My mother
was a very godly woman...
1490
01:35:53,632 --> 01:35:56,152
and as close to a saint...
1491
01:35:56,224 --> 01:35:58,712
as anyone I have ever known.
1492
01:35:58,785 --> 01:36:00,094
I'm sure she was.
1493
01:36:01,089 --> 01:36:03,031
Reverend, have you ever
preached while you were drunk?
1494
01:36:03,105 --> 01:36:05,112
Drunk? -Yes. -Never.
1495
01:36:07,104 --> 01:36:10,716
You never had too many at lunch
and went back on the radio?
1496
01:36:10,784 --> 01:36:13,752
That is a totally outrageous
suggestion.
1497
01:36:13,825 --> 01:36:15,963
- "Totally outrageous"?
- Totally.
1498
01:36:16,032 --> 01:36:20,288
You don't think that some people,
Reverend Falwell, despite your reputation...
1499
01:36:20,353 --> 01:36:22,458
might believe
you could do that?
1500
01:36:22,529 --> 01:36:25,529
I would find that
very difficult to believe.
1501
01:36:25,601 --> 01:36:28,951
So what you're telling me is
nobody could reasonably think...
1502
01:36:29,025 --> 01:36:31,033
that these statements about you
were true.
1503
01:36:31,106 --> 01:36:32,480
That's what I'm saying.
1504
01:36:36,066 --> 01:36:38,488
Reverend Falwell,
at the beginning of this trial...
1505
01:36:38,562 --> 01:36:41,857
Judge Kirk gave very specific
instructions to this jury.
1506
01:36:41,922 --> 01:36:44,791
She said,
"If a reasonable person...
1507
01:36:44,866 --> 01:36:47,037
could not believe
that Hustler magazine...
1508
01:36:47,105 --> 01:36:49,724
describes actual facts
about Jerry Falwell...
1509
01:36:49,794 --> 01:36:52,095
then you must dismiss
the libel claim."
1510
01:36:55,714 --> 01:36:57,089
Do you remember
these instructions?
1511
01:36:59,426 --> 01:37:02,688
Obviously not,
so I'm gonna ask you one more thing.
1512
01:37:02,754 --> 01:37:04,794
Why are you suing my client
for libel?
1513
01:37:04,867 --> 01:37:08,064
I am not a lawyer,
Mr. Isaacman.
1514
01:37:09,507 --> 01:37:13,282
I am a lawyer,
and I can't figure it out either.
1515
01:37:13,347 --> 01:37:16,643
Would you state your full name
for the record, Mr. Flynt?
1516
01:37:17,667 --> 01:37:18,560
Yes, sir.
1517
01:37:18,626 --> 01:37:20,699
Christopher Columbus...
1518
01:37:20,771 --> 01:37:22,015
Cornwallis...
1519
01:37:22,083 --> 01:37:24,417
I.P.Q., Harvey H.
and Pagey Pugh.
1520
01:37:25,827 --> 01:37:26,972
That's very interesting...
1521
01:37:27,043 --> 01:37:29,116
but are you also known
as Larry Flynt?
1522
01:37:30,147 --> 01:37:33,246
A.K.A. Jesus H. Flynt, Esquire.
1523
01:37:33,316 --> 01:37:35,803
Oh, for Christ's sakes.
1524
01:37:35,875 --> 01:37:39,039
Are you the publisher
and editor-in-chief...
1525
01:37:39,108 --> 01:37:40,962
of Hustler magazine?
1526
01:37:41,028 --> 01:37:45,054
I am the publisher
of the most tasteless, sleaziest...
1527
01:37:45,124 --> 01:37:48,539
most disgusting, greatest porn magazine
on the face of the earth.
1528
01:37:48,612 --> 01:37:50,522
Thank you.
1529
01:37:50,597 --> 01:37:53,085
I have in my hand Exhibit "B"...
1530
01:37:53,156 --> 01:37:55,741
a typewritten script
of the Campari ad.
1531
01:37:55,811 --> 01:37:57,437
When you approved this ad...
1532
01:37:58,339 --> 01:38:00,282
did you have any
specific knowledge...
1533
01:38:00,355 --> 01:38:03,355
that the Rev. Falwell
had ever engaged...
1534
01:38:03,428 --> 01:38:05,698
in sexual intercourse
with his mother?
1535
01:38:08,196 --> 01:38:10,978
But I have a photograph...
1536
01:38:11,045 --> 01:38:13,827
of Falwell having fellatio...
1537
01:38:13,893 --> 01:38:15,355
with a sheep.
1538
01:38:15,429 --> 01:38:18,877
Your Honor, my client is in a heavily
medicated, mentally agitated state.
1539
01:38:18,949 --> 01:38:20,924
We will stipulate
that no such document exists.
1540
01:38:20,997 --> 01:38:22,459
I have it...
1541
01:38:22,534 --> 01:38:27,171
and Mr. Fartwell is a liar,
a glutton and a "sheep-o-phile."
1542
01:38:27,237 --> 01:38:29,724
My client's name
is Jerry Falwell.
1543
01:38:29,797 --> 01:38:31,007
Jerry Falwell!
1544
01:38:31,076 --> 01:38:32,931
That's what I said.
Jerry Fartwell.
1545
01:38:32,996 --> 01:38:35,363
Are you trying to hold
Rev. Falwell up to ridicule?
1546
01:38:35,429 --> 01:38:36,923
No. Contempt.
1547
01:38:36,997 --> 01:38:39,299
- Scorn?
- Truculent.
1548
01:38:39,365 --> 01:38:41,252
- Obloquy?
- Parlez vouz Francais?
1549
01:38:45,958 --> 01:38:49,503
Oh, God,
my French is so rusty.
1550
01:38:49,573 --> 01:38:50,850
Bon appetit!
1551
01:38:53,894 --> 01:38:54,876
I love her.
1552
01:38:55,910 --> 01:38:56,859
Quiet.
1553
01:38:56,935 --> 01:38:58,047
I love you, baby.
1554
01:38:58,118 --> 01:39:00,573
Jesus loves me
1555
01:39:03,847 --> 01:39:06,432
Do you have an aversion
to organized religion?
1556
01:39:06,502 --> 01:39:08,640
- "A virgin"?
- No. Aversion.
1557
01:39:08,710 --> 01:39:12,006
You heard me, Mr. Flynt.
An aversion to organized religion.
1558
01:39:14,854 --> 01:39:17,342
You bet your sweet ass I do.
1559
01:39:17,414 --> 01:39:21,189
Do you think that gives you license
to mock the leaders...
1560
01:39:21,254 --> 01:39:22,465
of great religious movements?
1561
01:39:23,495 --> 01:39:24,575
Goddamn right.
1562
01:39:24,647 --> 01:39:25,891
Objection, Your Honor.
1563
01:39:25,959 --> 01:39:27,137
This is totally irrelevant.
1564
01:39:27,208 --> 01:39:28,135
Overruled.
1565
01:39:28,199 --> 01:39:30,534
Free expression is absolute.
1566
01:39:30,599 --> 01:39:32,126
- Thank you, Your Honor.
- You agree?
1567
01:39:33,095 --> 01:39:34,786
Order!
1568
01:39:34,855 --> 01:39:38,685
Ma'am, if you can't control yourself,
you'II have to leave the courtroom.
1569
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:40,766
So it was your intention...
1570
01:39:40,839 --> 01:39:44,287
to hold Rev. Falwell out
to be a hypocrite, wasn't it?
1571
01:39:45,511 --> 01:39:48,773
Well, that's what he is.
1572
01:39:48,839 --> 01:39:50,694
But didn't it occur to you...
1573
01:39:50,759 --> 01:39:54,404
that Rev. Falwell must have
an integrity people can believe in...
1574
01:39:54,472 --> 01:39:56,806
if he is to practice
his profession?
1575
01:39:58,952 --> 01:40:00,807
Yeah.
1576
01:40:00,872 --> 01:40:04,582
And it was your intent
to destroy that integrity...
1577
01:40:04,649 --> 01:40:07,616
and his livelihood,
if you could ?
1578
01:40:07,688 --> 01:40:09,543
To assassinate it.
1579
01:40:18,856 --> 01:40:22,271
Hey, it's me!
It's a weird decision.
1580
01:40:22,344 --> 01:40:24,679
No, he's not guilty of libel...
1581
01:40:24,745 --> 01:40:28,291
but he is guilty
of inflicting emotional distress.
1582
01:40:28,361 --> 01:40:30,401
Flynt has to pay him 200 grand!
1583
01:40:30,473 --> 01:40:33,987
This ruling shows that nobody
can prostitute the First Amendment.
1584
01:40:34,058 --> 01:40:38,793
Pornography has thrust its ugly head
into our everyday lives.
1585
01:40:38,858 --> 01:40:41,444
In the billion-dollar
sex industry...
1586
01:40:41,514 --> 01:40:44,962
of which Larry Flynt
is a self-described leader...
1587
01:40:45,033 --> 01:40:49,125
lust and greed have replaced
decency and morality.
1588
01:40:49,194 --> 01:40:52,259
We must make
a solemn commitment...
1589
01:40:52,329 --> 01:40:53,758
to God Almighty...
1590
01:40:53,833 --> 01:40:56,321
to turn this nation around
immediately.
1591
01:40:57,578 --> 01:40:59,432
Fuckin' AIDS junkie.
1592
01:41:01,034 --> 01:41:02,889
You crazy cripple.
1593
01:41:03,914 --> 01:41:06,184
It's just not that funny.
1594
01:41:06,250 --> 01:41:09,283
It wasn't funny
the first time we printed it either.
1595
01:41:09,354 --> 01:41:12,453
Well, guys, I'm certainly
open to suggestions.
1596
01:41:12,522 --> 01:41:17,378
I would suggest if we're going to
recycle it that we replace the noun...
1597
01:41:25,323 --> 01:41:27,178
I thought I fired all of you.
1598
01:41:28,682 --> 01:41:30,406
Jimmy.
1599
01:41:32,843 --> 01:41:33,890
Come here.
1600
01:41:41,612 --> 01:41:44,907
Sorry if I tried
to run things, but...
1601
01:41:46,156 --> 01:41:49,189
I was just trying to protect you.
1602
01:41:50,956 --> 01:41:52,331
Come here.
1603
01:41:53,516 --> 01:41:54,923
Come closer.
1604
01:41:57,581 --> 01:41:58,955
Come on.
1605
01:42:05,036 --> 01:42:07,851
Don't sweat it, bro.
I love you.
1606
01:42:09,356 --> 01:42:11,211
I love you too, man.
1607
01:42:15,117 --> 01:42:16,775
You look great, man.
1608
01:42:16,844 --> 01:42:20,106
Chester. You remember Althea.
Shake her hand.
1609
01:42:20,172 --> 01:42:22,147
Hey, Althea, you...
1610
01:42:22,221 --> 01:42:23,912
Hi, Chester.
1611
01:42:25,357 --> 01:42:27,212
Don't sneak up on us like that.
1612
01:42:27,277 --> 01:42:29,099
Ah, what the hell.
1613
01:42:29,165 --> 01:42:31,107
Shake Althea's hand.
1614
01:42:31,182 --> 01:42:33,451
- Good to see you.
- Welcome back.
1615
01:42:35,054 --> 01:42:36,580
- Hi, Althea.
- What do you do?
1616
01:42:36,653 --> 01:42:38,214
I'm a secretary.
1617
01:42:47,405 --> 01:42:50,471
Who's young and healthy
Cross your heart and confess
1618
01:42:50,541 --> 01:42:54,371
Happy you and merry me
1619
01:42:54,446 --> 01:42:57,828
Oh, who bought the ticket
for the Joytown Express
1620
01:42:57,902 --> 01:43:01,612
Happy you and merry me
1621
01:43:02,638 --> 01:43:06,468
Though Mr. Gloom
may chase us
1622
01:43:06,543 --> 01:43:09,128
We'll dodge him every day
1623
01:43:09,198 --> 01:43:11,784
Say, who is the finest
1624
01:43:11,855 --> 01:43:13,481
Any sane man can see
1625
01:43:13,551 --> 01:43:16,965
Happy you and merry me
1626
01:43:20,462 --> 01:43:21,706
I got it.
1627
01:43:21,774 --> 01:43:23,629
I wanna take my bath.
1628
01:43:29,519 --> 01:43:32,552
Okay, why don't you hop on.
1629
01:43:32,623 --> 01:43:34,478
I'll give you a ride.
1630
01:43:35,791 --> 01:43:37,515
Go ahead.
1631
01:43:37,583 --> 01:43:39,209
Buckle up.
1632
01:43:39,279 --> 01:43:40,654
Daddy.
1633
01:43:43,599 --> 01:43:45,934
Ohh! You're crushing my legs!
1634
01:43:49,648 --> 01:43:51,306
You're shivering, baby.
1635
01:43:55,119 --> 01:43:56,493
Shivering.
1636
01:43:59,792 --> 01:44:00,904
Detour.
1637
01:44:01,839 --> 01:44:04,174
- Oh, no.
- What are you doing?
1638
01:44:04,240 --> 01:44:06,095
You're gonna kill us.
1639
01:44:06,160 --> 01:44:07,207
It's okay.
1640
01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:09,931
They'll freeze us...
1641
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:12,302
and thaw us out in the year 3000.
1642
01:44:15,505 --> 01:44:16,934
Curbside service.
1643
01:44:17,008 --> 01:44:18,863
That'll be $8.50, lady.
1644
01:44:54,930 --> 01:44:56,785
Dr. Kipper, please.
1645
01:44:58,130 --> 01:44:59,559
Larry Flynt.
1646
01:45:03,537 --> 01:45:04,912
Dr. Kipper?
1647
01:45:06,642 --> 01:45:08,016
She doesn't look good.
1648
01:45:09,842 --> 01:45:13,421
I know, but there's gotta be
something more we can do.
1649
01:45:14,450 --> 01:45:17,265
Some new technology or drug.
1650
01:45:17,330 --> 01:45:19,719
What are they doing in Europe?
1651
01:45:19,795 --> 01:45:21,421
Money is no object.
1652
01:45:26,451 --> 01:45:27,825
Althea?
1653
01:45:29,363 --> 01:45:30,737
Althea!
1654
01:45:40,659 --> 01:45:42,033
Baby.
1655
01:45:45,331 --> 01:45:46,858
Honey!
1656
01:46:00,148 --> 01:46:01,522
Help!
1657
01:46:04,340 --> 01:46:06,031
Baby!
1658
01:46:08,308 --> 01:46:10,064
Can you hear me?
1659
01:46:20,404 --> 01:46:24,943
Jesus said, "I am the way,
the truth and the life.
1660
01:46:25,013 --> 01:46:26,867
No man comes to the Father...
1661
01:46:26,933 --> 01:46:28,624
but by Me.
1662
01:46:28,693 --> 01:46:31,857
He that liveth
and believeth in Me...
1663
01:46:31,925 --> 01:46:34,064
shall never die.
1664
01:46:34,133 --> 01:46:36,784
In My Father's house
are many rooms...
1665
01:46:36,853 --> 01:46:39,787
and if I go and prepare
a place for you...
1666
01:46:40,565 --> 01:46:42,126
I will come again...
1667
01:46:42,198 --> 01:46:44,532
and receive you unto Myself...
1668
01:46:44,597 --> 01:46:48,491
that where I am
there you may be also.
1669
01:46:48,565 --> 01:46:52,210
And you will live with Me
forever...
1670
01:46:52,277 --> 01:46:54,132
and ever."
1671
01:46:59,061 --> 01:47:01,233
you cannot mock God.
1672
01:47:01,302 --> 01:47:03,058
You cannot fool God.
1673
01:47:04,086 --> 01:47:06,475
If you violate His laws...
1674
01:47:06,550 --> 01:47:08,492
God Almighty will judge you.
1675
01:47:09,942 --> 01:47:12,277
AIDS is a plague.
1676
01:47:13,302 --> 01:47:15,091
These perverted lifestyles...
1677
01:47:15,158 --> 01:47:17,329
have to stop.
1678
01:47:17,398 --> 01:47:20,748
If you break moral laws...
1679
01:47:20,822 --> 01:47:22,513
you'll reap the whirlwind.
1680
01:47:22,582 --> 01:47:24,971
Alan. It's Larry.
1681
01:47:26,550 --> 01:47:29,365
I want to appeal
the Falwell case.
1682
01:47:29,430 --> 01:47:30,991
This is over.
1683
01:47:31,063 --> 01:47:33,135
No, it's not.
We can go higher.
1684
01:47:33,206 --> 01:47:35,279
- Higher?
- The Supreme Court.
1685
01:47:36,951 --> 01:47:40,267
- Give 'em a call.
- It's not that simple, Larry.
1686
01:47:41,623 --> 01:47:44,471
Thousands of people every year
petition the Supreme Court.
1687
01:47:44,535 --> 01:47:46,324
Our case is as good as any.
1688
01:47:47,384 --> 01:47:50,580
Our case is better than most.
You're missing my point.
1689
01:47:50,648 --> 01:47:52,502
They will never pick you...
1690
01:47:53,752 --> 01:47:55,607
because you're a nightmare.
1691
01:47:55,672 --> 01:47:59,382
They're afraid if they let you in
you'II wear a diaper or throw oranges...
1692
01:47:59,448 --> 01:48:00,909
and they should be.
1693
01:48:00,983 --> 01:48:03,503
In all the times
you've asked the court for help...
1694
01:48:03,575 --> 01:48:07,285
you've never demonstrated any respect
for its institutions and procedures.
1695
01:48:07,351 --> 01:48:09,206
They consider you a pig.
1696
01:48:09,271 --> 01:48:11,540
Well, you always said...
1697
01:48:11,608 --> 01:48:14,990
It's the principle. A pig
has the same rights as the President.
1698
01:48:15,064 --> 01:48:16,406
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1699
01:48:16,472 --> 01:48:18,327
People get tired of a pig.
1700
01:48:18,392 --> 01:48:21,207
Bullshit. You're scared, Alan.
You're scared.
1701
01:48:21,272 --> 01:48:23,509
You're letting these guys
steamroll you.
1702
01:48:23,576 --> 01:48:26,675
It's not just them, Larry.
Okay? It's me.
1703
01:48:27,833 --> 01:48:30,037
It's me.
I am not taking you.
1704
01:48:33,273 --> 01:48:37,069
Lawyers dream about a case like this
in front of the Supreme Court.
1705
01:48:38,232 --> 01:48:40,654
And they would probably hear us.
1706
01:48:40,729 --> 01:48:43,063
But I am not going with you.
1707
01:48:46,169 --> 01:48:50,392
I have been giving you my best since
back when people were laughing at you...
1708
01:48:50,457 --> 01:48:54,647
and every time I come in you fuck me
with this bullshit circus act.
1709
01:48:57,466 --> 01:48:59,833
I won't do it again.
I can't.
1710
01:48:59,897 --> 01:49:02,745
I'm not gonna do it in front of
the U.S. Supreme Court.
1711
01:49:04,314 --> 01:49:06,583
Your sentimental speeches
and cornball patriotism...
1712
01:49:06,650 --> 01:49:08,952
don't work on me anymore...
1713
01:49:09,018 --> 01:49:11,384
because I don't believe you.
1714
01:49:16,666 --> 01:49:18,095
I don't believe you.
1715
01:49:25,978 --> 01:49:27,352
You... You're my...
1716
01:49:28,891 --> 01:49:30,746
You're my friend, Alan.
1717
01:49:32,987 --> 01:49:34,034
We're friends.
1718
01:49:38,907 --> 01:49:41,045
I would love to be...
1719
01:49:41,115 --> 01:49:43,385
remembered for something...
1720
01:49:44,539 --> 01:49:45,717
meaningful.
1721
01:49:49,787 --> 01:49:52,438
Any research problems,
use my archives.
1722
01:49:55,803 --> 01:49:57,559
Tell the Reverend...
1723
01:49:57,627 --> 01:50:00,562
that I've dealt
with this filth monger myself...
1724
01:50:00,635 --> 01:50:02,577
and I wish to offer my support.
1725
01:50:02,652 --> 01:50:04,507
Is that the Tin Man?
1726
01:50:05,852 --> 01:50:08,241
Yes, that's the Tin Man.
1727
01:50:10,108 --> 01:50:11,417
God vs. the Devil.
1728
01:50:11,484 --> 01:50:14,103
America's minister
vs. America's pimp.
1729
01:50:14,173 --> 01:50:16,180
Today is the showdown.
1730
01:50:16,252 --> 01:50:19,547
Many were surprised by the High Court's
decision to hear Flynt's case...
1731
01:50:19,613 --> 01:50:22,514
but he had some unlikely supporters
filing briefs on his behalf...
1732
01:50:22,588 --> 01:50:26,101
like The New York Times, the American
Newspaper Publishers Association...
1733
01:50:26,172 --> 01:50:28,027
and the Association
of American Editorial Cartoonists.
1734
01:50:28,092 --> 01:50:28,986
All rise.
1735
01:50:29,660 --> 01:50:31,154
The Honorable Chief Justice...
1736
01:50:31,228 --> 01:50:34,807
and the Associate Justices
of the United States Supreme Court.
1737
01:50:34,877 --> 01:50:36,982
Oyez, oyez, oyez.
1738
01:50:37,053 --> 01:50:39,290
All persons having business
before the Honorables...
1739
01:50:39,357 --> 01:50:41,845
of the United States Supreme Court...
1740
01:50:41,916 --> 01:50:45,397
are admonished to draw near
and give their attention...
1741
01:50:45,469 --> 01:50:47,324
for this Court is now sitting.
1742
01:50:47,389 --> 01:50:51,131
God save the United States
and this Supreme Court.
1743
01:50:57,374 --> 01:51:02,392
We'll hear the argument first
this morning in number 86-1278...
1744
01:51:02,461 --> 01:51:04,850
Hustler Magazine
and Larry C. Flynt...
1745
01:51:04,925 --> 01:51:07,227
vs. Jerry Falwell.
1746
01:51:07,293 --> 01:51:10,108
Mr. Isaacman, you may proceed
whenever you're ready.
1747
01:51:17,950 --> 01:51:20,284
Mr. Chief Justice,
and may it please the Court...
1748
01:51:21,534 --> 01:51:25,276
one of the most cherished ideas
that we hold in this country...
1749
01:51:25,343 --> 01:51:28,790
is that there should be
uninhibited public debate...
1750
01:51:28,862 --> 01:51:30,073
and freedom of speech.
1751
01:51:31,327 --> 01:51:34,043
The question you have
before you today...
1752
01:51:34,110 --> 01:51:37,405
is whether a public figure's right
to protection from emotional distress...
1753
01:51:38,430 --> 01:51:41,147
should outweigh
the public interest...
1754
01:51:41,215 --> 01:51:45,405
in allowing every United States citizen
to freely express his views.
1755
01:51:46,590 --> 01:51:51,446
But what was the view expressed
in Exhibit "A"?
1756
01:51:53,247 --> 01:51:56,892
Well, to begin with,
this is a parody of a known Campari ad.
1757
01:51:56,959 --> 01:51:59,196
I understand. Go ahead.
1758
01:51:59,264 --> 01:52:02,079
Also, and importantly,
it was a satire of a public figure...
1759
01:52:02,144 --> 01:52:03,999
of Jerry Falwell...
1760
01:52:04,064 --> 01:52:08,440
who, in this case, was
a prime candidate for such a satire...
1761
01:52:08,512 --> 01:52:11,643
because he's such an unlikely person
to appear in a liquor ad.
1762
01:52:11,711 --> 01:52:16,316
This is a person we are used to seeing
at the pulpit, Bible in hand...
1763
01:52:16,384 --> 01:52:20,279
preaching with a famously
beatific smile on his face.
1764
01:52:20,352 --> 01:52:23,548
But what is the public interest
you're describing?
1765
01:52:23,616 --> 01:52:27,129
That there is some interest
in making him look ludicrous?
1766
01:52:29,920 --> 01:52:33,914
Yes, there is a public interest in
making Jerry Falwell look ludicrous...
1767
01:52:33,984 --> 01:52:37,913
insofar as there is a public interest
in having Hustler magazine...
1768
01:52:37,985 --> 01:52:41,367
express the point of view
that Jerry Falwell is full of B.S.
1769
01:52:42,722 --> 01:52:46,714
Hustler magazine has every right
to express this view.
1770
01:52:46,784 --> 01:52:48,759
They have the right to say...
1771
01:52:48,833 --> 01:52:52,095
that somebody who has campaigned
actively against their magazine...
1772
01:52:52,161 --> 01:52:55,227
who has told people
not to buy it...
1773
01:52:55,297 --> 01:52:58,593
who has publicly said that it
poisons the minds of Americans...
1774
01:52:58,657 --> 01:53:03,709
who, in addition, has told people
sex out of wedlock is immoral...
1775
01:53:03,778 --> 01:53:05,207
that they shouldn't drink...
1776
01:53:05,281 --> 01:53:08,795
Hustler magazine
has a First Amendment right...
1777
01:53:08,866 --> 01:53:11,484
to publicly respond
to these comments...
1778
01:53:11,554 --> 01:53:14,871
by saying that Jerry Falwell
is full of B.S.
1779
01:53:14,946 --> 01:53:18,427
It says, "Let's deflate this stuffed
shirt and bring him down to our level."
1780
01:53:18,499 --> 01:53:21,313
Our level, in this case, being,
admittedly, a lower level...
1781
01:53:21,378 --> 01:53:23,680
than most people would like
to be brought to.
1782
01:53:25,858 --> 01:53:28,989
I know I'm not supposed to joke,
but that's sort of the point.
1783
01:53:29,058 --> 01:53:31,230
Mr. Isaacman, the First Amendment
is not everything.
1784
01:53:31,298 --> 01:53:35,553
It's of very important value, but
it's not the only value in our society.
1785
01:53:36,258 --> 01:53:38,113
What about another value
which says...
1786
01:53:38,179 --> 01:53:41,888
that good people should be able
to enter public life and public service?
1787
01:53:41,954 --> 01:53:44,857
The rule you give us says
if you stand for public office...
1788
01:53:44,931 --> 01:53:47,516
or become a public figure
in any way...
1789
01:53:47,587 --> 01:53:50,402
you cannot protect yourself
or, indeed, your mother...
1790
01:53:50,467 --> 01:53:53,282
against a parody of your committing
incest with her in an outhouse.
1791
01:53:53,348 --> 01:53:57,624
Do you think that George Washington
would've stood for public office...
1792
01:53:57,699 --> 01:53:59,609
if that was the consequence?
1793
01:53:59,682 --> 01:54:02,497
It's interesting that you mention
George Washington, Justice Scalia...
1794
01:54:02,563 --> 01:54:07,135
because very recently I saw
a 200-year-old political cartoon.
1795
01:54:07,204 --> 01:54:10,553
It depicts George Washington
riding on a donkey being led by a man...
1796
01:54:10,628 --> 01:54:12,635
and the caption suggests...
1797
01:54:12,708 --> 01:54:15,523
that this man is leading an ass
to Washington.
1798
01:54:15,588 --> 01:54:17,792
I can handle that.
1799
01:54:17,860 --> 01:54:19,235
I think George can too.
1800
01:54:21,060 --> 01:54:24,409
But that's a far cry from committing
incest with your mother in an outhouse.
1801
01:54:27,844 --> 01:54:29,917
There's no line between the two?
1802
01:54:32,323 --> 01:54:34,877
No, Justice Scalia,
I would say there isn't...
1803
01:54:34,947 --> 01:54:37,850
because you're talking about
a matter of taste, not law.
1804
01:54:37,925 --> 01:54:40,412
As you yourself said,
I believe...
1805
01:54:40,484 --> 01:54:42,819
in Pope vs. Illinois...
1806
01:54:42,884 --> 01:54:46,332
"It's useless to argue about taste
and even more useless to litigate it"...
1807
01:54:46,405 --> 01:54:48,827
and that is the case here.
1808
01:54:48,900 --> 01:54:53,178
The jury has already determined that
this is a matter of taste, not of law...
1809
01:54:53,253 --> 01:54:55,195
because they've said
there's no libelous speech...
1810
01:54:55,269 --> 01:54:58,269
that nobody could reasonably believe
that Hustler was actually suggesting...
1811
01:54:58,342 --> 01:54:59,716
Falwell had sex with his mother.
1812
01:54:59,781 --> 01:55:03,043
So why did Hustler
have him and his mother together?
1813
01:55:03,110 --> 01:55:05,957
Hustler puts him and his mother
together in a...
1814
01:55:07,046 --> 01:55:10,657
example of literary travesty,
if you will.
1815
01:55:10,725 --> 01:55:13,408
And what public purpose
does this serve?
1816
01:55:14,213 --> 01:55:15,675
The same public purpose...
1817
01:55:15,749 --> 01:55:19,776
as Garry Trudeau saying Reagan has
no brain or that George Bush is a wimp.
1818
01:55:19,846 --> 01:55:23,010
It lets us look at public figures
a little bit differently.
1819
01:55:23,078 --> 01:55:26,722
We have a long tradition in this country
of satiric commentary.
1820
01:55:26,790 --> 01:55:30,881
If Jerry Falwell can sue when
there has been no libelous speech...
1821
01:55:30,950 --> 01:55:32,805
purely on the grounds
of emotional distress...
1822
01:55:32,870 --> 01:55:35,205
then so can other public figures.
1823
01:55:35,271 --> 01:55:37,857
Imagine, if you will, suits
against people like Garry Trudeau...
1824
01:55:37,927 --> 01:55:41,472
and Johnny Carson,
for what he says on The Tonight Show.
1825
01:55:41,543 --> 01:55:44,859
Obviously, when people
criticize public figures...
1826
01:55:44,934 --> 01:55:46,789
they're going to experience
emotional distress.
1827
01:55:46,854 --> 01:55:48,064
We all know that.
1828
01:55:48,134 --> 01:55:50,622
It's easy to claim
and impossible to refute.
1829
01:55:50,694 --> 01:55:52,734
That's what makes it
a meaningless standard.
1830
01:55:52,807 --> 01:55:56,320
Really, all it does is allow us
to punish unpopular speech.
1831
01:55:58,343 --> 01:56:01,692
This country is founded,
at least in part...
1832
01:56:01,767 --> 01:56:06,077
on the firm belief that unpopular speech
is vital to the health of our nation.
1833
01:56:08,424 --> 01:56:09,951
Thank you, Mr. Isaacman.
1834
01:56:11,592 --> 01:56:14,145
Reverend, are you confident
you'll win this case?
1835
01:56:14,216 --> 01:56:15,329
Absolutely.
1836
01:56:15,400 --> 01:56:17,254
There's no way
the Supreme Court...
1837
01:56:17,320 --> 01:56:20,931
will come down on the side
of a sleaze merchant like Larry Flynt.
1838
01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:23,553
Mr. Keating,
why are you here today?
1839
01:56:23,624 --> 01:56:26,853
To show support for those who believe
pornography should be outlawed.
1840
01:56:26,919 --> 01:56:30,149
Because if the First Amendment
will protect a...
1841
01:56:31,240 --> 01:56:33,095
- What did Grutman call me?
- A scumbag.
1842
01:56:33,160 --> 01:56:34,404
A scumbag like me...
1843
01:56:34,472 --> 01:56:36,261
then it'll protect all of you.
1844
01:56:37,288 --> 01:56:38,498
'Cause I'm the worst.
1845
01:56:39,624 --> 01:56:41,567
Larry, do you have any regrets?
1846
01:56:47,177 --> 01:56:48,454
Only one.
1847
01:57:03,625 --> 01:57:04,999
Larry.
1848
01:57:19,786 --> 01:57:21,160
Larry.
1849
01:57:52,075 --> 01:57:53,449
Larry.
1850
01:58:20,811 --> 01:58:22,437
It's Alan.
1851
01:58:22,508 --> 01:58:24,134
They just brought
the decision in.
1852
01:58:24,204 --> 01:58:26,178
Well, is it good or bad?
1853
01:58:26,988 --> 01:58:29,410
It's a unanimous decision, Larry.
1854
01:58:29,484 --> 01:58:30,913
Rehnquist wrote it himself.
1855
01:58:30,988 --> 01:58:32,581
Is it good or bad?
1856
01:58:32,652 --> 01:58:34,507
I want you to hear this.
1857
01:58:36,588 --> 01:58:39,403
"At the heart of the First Amendment
is the recognition...
1858
01:58:39,469 --> 01:58:42,850
of the fundamental importance
of the free flow of ideas.
1859
01:58:42,924 --> 01:58:46,536
Freedom to speak one's mind is not only
an aspect of individual liberty...
1860
01:58:46,604 --> 01:58:49,157
but essential
to the quest for truth...
1861
01:58:49,228 --> 01:58:52,043
and the vitality of society
as a whole.
1862
01:58:52,108 --> 01:58:54,116
In the world of debate
about public affairs...
1863
01:58:54,189 --> 01:58:56,523
many things done with motives
that are less than admirable...
1864
01:58:56,588 --> 01:58:58,792
are nonetheless protected
by the First Amendment."
1865
01:58:58,861 --> 01:59:00,454
So we won.
1866
01:59:01,485 --> 01:59:02,892
Yes. We won.
1867
01:59:03,598 --> 01:59:05,932
Thank you, Alan.
1868
01:59:05,997 --> 01:59:07,852
- Thank you.
- Don't mention it.
1869
01:59:13,678 --> 01:59:15,205
We won, baby.
1870
01:59:20,461 --> 01:59:22,469
Strip for me, baby.
1871
01:59:24,685 --> 01:59:26,343
Why?
1872
01:59:26,413 --> 01:59:29,578
So when you're old and ugly,
you can look back at this.
1873
01:59:31,438 --> 01:59:34,635
I'm never gonna be
old and ugly, Larry.
1874
01:59:34,702 --> 01:59:37,517
You're gonna be old and ugly.
1875
02:00:55,857 --> 02:01:00,679
I've just closed my eyes again
1876
02:01:02,194 --> 02:01:06,448
Climbed aboard
the Dream Weaver train
1877
02:01:10,193 --> 02:01:15,244
Driver, take away
my worries of today
1878
02:01:17,425 --> 02:01:21,484
And leave tomorrow behind
1879
02:01:22,513 --> 02:01:25,830
Ooh, Dream Weaver
1880
02:01:26,866 --> 02:01:29,102
I believe you can get me
1881
02:01:29,170 --> 02:01:32,487
Through the night
1882
02:01:36,018 --> 02:01:39,085
Ooh, Dream Weaver
1883
02:01:40,114 --> 02:01:41,969
I believe we can reach
1884
02:01:42,034 --> 02:01:45,416
The morning light
1885
02:01:48,018 --> 02:01:53,104
Fly me high
through the starry skies
1886
02:01:54,354 --> 02:01:58,129
Maybe to an astral plane
1887
02:02:01,267 --> 02:02:05,707
'Cross the highways
of fantasy
1888
02:02:07,924 --> 02:02:11,536
Help me to forget
today's pain
1889
02:02:12,691 --> 02:02:15,789
Ooh, Dream Weaver
1890
02:02:16,819 --> 02:02:19,088
I believe you can get me
1891
02:02:19,155 --> 02:02:21,970
Through the night
1892
02:02:25,716 --> 02:02:28,815
Ooh, Dream Weaver
1893
02:02:29,844 --> 02:02:31,600
I believe we can reach
1894
02:02:31,668 --> 02:02:35,280
The morning light
1895
02:02:37,780 --> 02:02:42,156
Though the dawn
may be coming soon
1896
02:02:44,212 --> 02:02:48,042
There still may be some time
1897
02:02:50,868 --> 02:02:52,461
Fly me away
1898
02:02:52,532 --> 02:02:55,948
To the bright side of the moon
1899
02:02:57,620 --> 02:03:01,647
Meet me on the other side
1900
02:03:05,684 --> 02:03:08,881
Ooh, Dream Weaver
1901
02:03:09,909 --> 02:03:12,081
I believe you can get me
1902
02:03:12,150 --> 02:03:15,216
Through the night
1903
02:03:18,741 --> 02:03:21,775
Ooh, Dream Weaver
1904
02:03:22,806 --> 02:03:24,661
I believe we can reach
1905
02:03:24,726 --> 02:03:27,987
The morning light
1906
02:03:31,798 --> 02:03:35,027
Dream Weaver
1907
02:03:44,598 --> 02:03:48,046
Dream Weaver
1908
02:03:57,335 --> 02:04:01,491
