The People vs. Larry Flynt Page #6

---

You know, George Orwell said

that if liberty means anything

it means the right to tell people

what they don't wanna hear.

Now, America is the strongest

country in the world today

only because it is

the freest country.

And if it ever loses sight

of its basic heritage

and the principles involved,

then we will no longer be free.

Larry, over here!

That was just a bang-up job you did.

Did you pray before you

went into the courtroom?

No comment.

No comment.

Is your wife jealous of Ruth?

- Is that true, Larry?

- Mr. Flynt, do you have anything to say?

This is Jackson. We got shots

fired in front of the courthouse.

- Somebody help!

- We need an ambulance right away.

Stand back! Stand back!

Ma'am, stand back!

We'll take care of you.

Everything's gonna be all right.

Right in the corner there.

A 36-year-old male, gunshot

wound to the left shoulder.

Patient doesn't appear to have

any moving sensation.

I want him alive! I don't care

if his head's in a fishbowl.

Mrs. Flynt, now you listen to me.

There's something you have to know

before you go in that room.

Hey.

Larry, they say that you're paralysed.

They say you're paralysed

from the waist down.

They say that you ain't

gonna walk again.

From the waist down?

I f***ing love you.

I'm so sorry, Althea.

Larry?

My dearest, how are you?

The pain. It's

I feel like I'm in hell.

No. No, you're not in hell.

You belong to God.

I wish he'd have killed me.

I do.

I can't ever walk again.

I can't make love to my wife.

I can't

I can't have a child with her.

But don't give in to the bitterness.

You'll be so much stronger

if you keep your faith.

God will see you through this.

Ruth

there is no God.

Take this thing down. I want all this

Christian stuff out of here now.

Ladies, gentlemen

The reign of Christian terror

at this magazine is now over.

We're smut peddlers again.

We're going back to our roots.

- We are "porn again."

- When's Larry coming back?

Larry's coming back soon.

So, what do we know?

The FBI ain't got nothing.

That's what we know.

- Who would want to shoot you, Larry?

- Who wouldn't want to shoot me?

- I'd say it was the CIA.

- Why?

Because of the million dollars

that was offered for J.F.K.'s killers.

No. I think it was the interracial

photo spreads. The KKK.

The KKK? It wasn't the KKK.

It was the Mob.

The extreme religious right

controls all of the fanatics.

That's every American psycho.

Let's try to narrow the field a little.

- Larry

- Yeah?

you're always, always gonna have

to watch your ass. Forever.

I ought to move somewhere

where perverts are welcome.

Where you going, baby?

I'm gonna get some ice cream.

You want some?

I want some more.

Larry, I just gave you twice your dose.

- Please, please, please.

- Larry, you're gonna overdose.

I'm not gonna overdose.

I'm in pain.

- You're just doing this to get off.

- More!

I'm only giving you half

of what I just gave you.

Don't ask for any more for a while.

Tight.

Okay.

Okay, let go. Let go.

You all right?

I love you, baby.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

- Hi, Dr. Bob.

- Hello, Althea.

- How's Larry today?

- Shitty.

Pretty shitty.

- How are you today, Larry?

- Terrible. I'm in pain.

He can hardly talk.

Larry, we're running

out of options here.

The drugs, your pain,

it's gonna kill you.

Something stronger.

This is 30 grand.

Can we just have our medicine,

please, Dr. Bob? In peace?

Larry, there is an operation.

Apparently it's been very successful

for this kind of pain.

- Ready for the laser.

- Laser ready. Five watts.

Okay, let's go.

Hey, baby.

- Hi, cutie.

- What's that?

Some lady died down the hall,

and I got her flowers.

- How do you feel?

- I feel good.

- You feel good?

- Yeah, I feel I feel great.

For the first time since those bullets

I don't feel any pain.

- No, I don't want it, baby.

- What do you mean? What do you?

I feel good.

And you're not on nothing?

You're crooking me,

or you're a f***ing liar.

You've been on drugs

for four or five years, Larry.

I have a hard time believing that you

feel really great on nothing right now.

Is it that hard to believe

that I don't want any?

Yes, it's that hard to believe.

I was taking the drugs

because I was in pain.

I'm not in pain now, so I don't want it.

Why would I want it?

- I don't know.

- I don't know why you want it.

Well, if I don't take it,

I'll go into seizures

and get really sick. And it makes

me feel good. Here.

- I don't want it!

- In two hours, you'll want it!

I'm done with it!

I'm done with it, okay?

- You've said this before.

- Stop it!

That's because you're f***ing on

Here take all

Come on, Larry.

Stop. Stop it.

- Get away! I don't want it!

- Stop. You're gonna hurt

You're gonna hurt yourself.

Stop it, please. Stop it, stop it, stop it.

I don't know.

We've been through a lot together.

We can make it through this.

- You gonna go cold turkey?

- I am, and so are you. Okay?

- No.

- Yes.

- Okay.

- Okay?

- Okay.

- Okay.

No.

I can't, Larry.

What am I gonna do?

What the hell do I need that sh*t for?

I want my mind back.

Yes, Ms. Bacardi, hi.

The pervert is back!

What's your name?

Sophie.

Tell everybody the pervert is back.

The pervert is back.

The pervert is back.

- The pervert is back.

- Circulation is down by a third.

Colour reproduction is horrible.

The models look like they're

3-dollar whores.

The writing is by some moronic idiots.

Mr. Flynt, I don't want

to step on your toes

but things have changed since you

were actively running the company.

I mean, I look back at the stuff

you did in the '70s, and it was

sort of racy and crazy.

But the country's different now.

Reagan has rebuilt America, and

the Moral Majority is gaining power.

You're fired.

Excuse me?

You, get the f*** out of my building!

Doug, get him out of here!

Get that blow-dried jerk motherf***er

and throw him in the incinerator!

Cut him into pieces and feed him

to the animals! Get out of here!

Larry, Larry, you can't do that!

I mean, he's our vice president!

He's the VP of marketing!

Hey, Jimbo, are you trying

to challenge my authority?

You see that on the wall? "LFP."

That's Larry Flynt Publications.

Not JFP!

Okay, I'm the big kahuna here!

Do you have a problem with that?

No, Larry. You're the boss.

So, Larry, what's the plan?

Plan. The plan is simple.

The establishment took

my manhood from me

but they left half of me.

The half with the brain.

And I'm gonna use it to get back.

- Hello?

- Wake up.

Who is this?

It's Larry Flynt. Is CBS interested in

seeing videotape of the FBI

selling John DeLorean

50 kilos of cocaine?

- Are you Mr. Waverly?

- Yeah, yeah. Who are you?

I'm Mrs. Flynt.

Do you want some coffee

or tea or sandwiches

or Ho Hos or Pringles

or something?

No, that's all right.

Can I just see the tape, please?

- John DeLorean.

- It's DeLorean.

These are the drug dealers.

And guess what this is.
