No, no.

- Give me a second.

- Absolutely. Sure.

Just give us some privacy

for a minute. OK.

You just sit down right here.

Just have a seat.

You will sit here

and say nothing, OK?

Chuck!

Chuck!

- Oh, man, you know what?

- What?

- No.

- No, no, no. Come on. Come on.

What are you gonna do?

No, it's gonna be

six times the money. Hey!

Listen to me! Come here. Come here.

- This is crazy.

- Come here.

- This is crazy!

- Come back in here. Shh!

Shut your mouth, OK?

You're gonna do this,

you understand me?

- What?

- You're gonna do...

Just shut it.

You're gonna do this,

and there's nothing you

or Hugh f***ing Hefner

can do about it, all right?

- We're OK?

- OK.

OK, OK. I'll talk to her.

Chuck!

You know what?

I don't think this is gonna...

- Oh, no, no. This'll work fine.

- No.

Just... Yeah, it's just...

OK, all right. That's...

- Baby, got a good one.

- Chuck! Chuck!

No...

Oh, man. Hi.

You all right?

Hey! Hey!

Linda! Linda! Hey!

Oh, honey, honey, honey, honey!

Stay down. stay down.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, Jesus. Get up.

Get up.

Oh, sh*t.

Step away from the lady!

- Sir, step away from the lady!

- She's my wife.

- Step away from the lady now!

- Look, I'm her husband.

- Is that true, ma'am?

- Yeah.

Ma'am, are you OK?

Wait a minute. I know you.

You're that chick, right?

- That's Linda Lovelace.

- Blow-job girl?

Sir, take her home,

and get her cleaned up, OK?

- You have a good night.

- Yeah.

Uh, hey, Miss Lovelace?

Uh, think I could have your autograph?

Hi, operator.

I'd like to make a collect call.

I wanted to talk to you

about the money Chuck owes.

You mean,

the money you and Chuck owe?

Chuck always handled the money,

so I've never seen any of it.

OK, Linda, listen to me.

Just do another movie.

Call it whatever you want,

Really Deep Throat, I don't care.

One more movie,

and youse both out of debt.

The world wants to see you, Linda.

But they only want

to see you do one thing.

You do another movie, I'm gonna

make sure it's a classy production,

and you're gonna have

any director you want.

I'm gonna bring Harry back.

Come on. It'll be like old times.

Jesus.

I just can't do it anymore.

- Here you go. Thanks.

- Thank you.

Hello? Linda?

- Shh. Shh.

- Can I help you?

Linda, it's Chuck, and I told you

I wanted to say I'm sorry.

- This is the hotel operator.

- Oh.

Um...

- Traynor. Traynor's room.

- Could you spell that, please?

Traynor, T-R-A-Y-N-O-R?

- T-R-A-Y-N-O-R?

- Yeah.

Checking.

I'm sorry. I don't see

a guest by that name.

Try Boreman. B-O-R-E-E-M-A-N?

- B-O-R-E-M-A-N?

- Um...

Any other... another name?

Uh, Lovelace?

I'm sorry. There isn't

a guest under that name.

Hello?

You stupid b*tch.

F***.

Linda? Linda?

Linda?

Hey, Charlie.

Um... I thought you said

Linda was staying here.

She was. We switched rooms this morning.

You're gonna have to find yourself

a new porn star, Charlie.

Um...

Hey. Hey, man. ls...?

No. No, no, no.

- Turn around. Turn around.

- No.

Aah!

F***er. You're not gonna...

You're not gonna see her!

You're not gonna think about her!

Hello?

This is Linda Marchiano.

Oh, my God.

OK.

OK. OK, bye.

That was my publisher.

I passed the polygraph.

They believe me.

You really want this?

I just really want people

to know what happened, you know.

Well, we'll explain

in just a moment, uh,

why she is no longer this person.

I hope she won't be offended

if I identify her by the name

that really has become world-famous,

a woman who starred

in what has been called

the Gone With the Wind of pornography.

Would you please welcome

Linda Lovelace?

Linda Lovelace's book is titled Ordeal,

and it really was. This is the...

This is the grimmest book

I've ever read in my life.

I mean, you've been beaten,

knocked around,

I mean, every liberty in the world.

How'd you get involved

with all that stuff?

I mean, how could a nice girl like

you... How do you answer that?

Well, I had the misfortune

of meeting Chuck Traynor.

But it didn't start out

like you're describing.

He was a...

a gentleman when I first met him.

He was always opening doors

for me and lighting my cigarettes,

and he was very charming

when he wanted to be.

And I was young, you know. I was...

I was 21 when I went to live with him.

And it wasn't until after that

that things just started to change.

He started talking about

different sexual things...

...things that I had

never heard of before,

things that I couldn't imagine,

you know.

I didn't want to.

You know, I was raised...

I was raised to obey my husband,

to please him, for better or for worse.

- So that's what I did.

- Dear God.

Linda, I have read your book, Ordeal,

and I still find it very hard

to relate to you

and to believe that you have

become a changed person.

I expect people

to have great difficulty

realizing how hard it

was for me to get out,

but I think people who have known fear

will understand it, though, immediately.

Linda, do you think this book

will help bring about,

you know, any change for other girls

that are in this predicament?

I do have that hope. I...

God forbid there's somebody out there

that's going through

what I went through.

And maybe they can get

the courage to get out of it.

I hope this book helps her

to realize that...

...that you can come out

of this a complete person again.

Linda, you really were, and are,

but especially in the early seventies,

you were quite a celebrity.

Everybody talked about you.

All conversations about you

include a normal statement

that comes out dirty

because of the context.

That's an awful way for you...

That's gonna follow you forever.

You know, I spent exactly 17 days

in the pornography industry,

and somehow these 17 days

are supposed to define who I am

for the rest of my life,

but I hope that people can see me

for who I really am.

I mean, Linda Lovelace

was a fictitious character.

My name is Linda Marchiano.

I can finally be myself.

I'm a mother and a wife,

and that is where I found my joy.

Go ahead. We'll give

you a minute, all right?

OK.

You made it.

I love you, Mom.

Let's not make

a federal case out of this.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- Hey, how are you?

- Good.

Let's get you something to eat.

Good to see you. How you doing?

What have we got here?

Good to see you, man. How you doing?
