The People vs. Larry Flynt Page #7

---

That's the coke?

That whole suitcase?

Yeah, watch this. DeLorean, he

The first time to touch it. That's it.

That's all the contact he had

with that cocaine.

This is my favourite part.

They can't get this damn

They can't get the suitcase

closed, right?

There's a lot of cocaine

in this motherf***er.

How do you get the damn thing closed?

They're all pushing down on it.

- This is amazing.

- Now they do a toast.

Now watch this.

This is weird.

There's a knock at the door.

Tubby gets up and goes

to the door. Look.

Four million dollars' worth of cocaine,

nobody's even nervous.

Now watch.

FBI. FBI, right?

This guy's got a good camera sense.

Watch him clear camera.

"Let me get out of your way."

Now watch this guy.

Grabs his champagne,

and he walks away.

These guys aren't concerned

about him, because they're FBI.

Your Honour, the tapes are genuine,

and we have a right to broadcast them.

- This is stolen government evidence.

- This will make a fair trial impossible.

My client, Mr. DeLorean, will

never find an impartial jury.

- We're talking constitutional rights

- Judge, you do not condone

Gentlemen, gentlemen, please.

stolen tapes.

- Gentlemen, that's enough.

- It's stolen, judge. It's stolen.

Here is the Campari

ad-campaign parody.

"Jerry Falwell talks about

his first time."

You guys are stupid.

Do you ever say anything

positive, Jimmy?

- Larry.

- Yeah?

I got a subpoena for you to appear

in federal court tomorrow

to reveal the source

of the DeLorean tape.

The FBI got very pissed off. They want

you in front of the judge tomorrow.

Well, you tell that judge I'm wiping

my ass with his subpoena.

Why is your client doing this?

Your Honour, my client

is a very complicated man.

He's heavily medicated,

among other things.

I believe him to be an undiagnosed

manic-depressive.

Well, I'll give him something

to be depressed about, all right.

I'm issuing a bench warrant

for his arrest.

a warrant for the arrest

of Mr. Flynt

"If anyone tries coming after me,

I'll shoot him between the eyes."

Flynt has been barricaded in his

Beverly Hills compound for three days.

Holy sh*t!

Freeze! Federal marshals!

You, drop the gun. Now!

Hands in front! Hands!

You, hands on your head. Now!

On your knees!

NBC, ABC. What the hell's

wrong with you, CBS?

- We're federal marshals! Come out!

- Shut up!

Where are your f***ing priorities?

We interrupt this programme

for a special report.

I turned the whole world

into a tabloid!

Here I come.

- Larry, are you going somewhere?

- Yeah!

- Larry

- Roll on out of there, Flynt, now!

Will you get me some bananas?

Yes, I'll get you bananas

Thank you, honey.

Please raise your right hand and

place your left hand on the Bible.

Larry.

Do you swear to tell the truth, the

whole truth and nothing but the truth

- so help you God?

- No.

No?

Your Honour, I'm an atheist.

I can't very well

swear to a God

I don't believe exists.

- Mr. Flynt, you are a handful.

- I know, Your Honour.

We'll allow you to affirm if that's

satisfactory with you, sir.

That would satisfy me.

I need for you to answer one question,

and then you're able to go back home.

Shoot.

What was the source of this videotape?

Your Honour, Vicki Morgan was

Alfred Bloomingdale's mistress.

- Excuse me, Your Honour.

- Excuse It's okay, Alan.

And Alfred introduced her

to all Reagan's Cabinet buddies.

And she was a real party girl.

And they really liked her.

If you know what I mean,

Your Honour.

So the thing about Vicki is,

she was a bit naive

and she started writing a book about

all these orgies that they were having.

And next thing you know, bam,

she's murdered.

But what these White House

killers don't realise

is that Vicki kept some videotapes

of their sexcapades.

And these tapes, Your Honour,

are pure carnality.

Filthy. I've never seen anything

Well, I have, but most people haven't

seen anything like this. Your Honour

What has this got to do

with the DeLorean trial?

That's a good question.

Well, technically, nothing,

Your Honour.

But, you know, I have those tapes and

this tape, and it just made me think of it.

Mr. Flynt, I'd appreciate it, sir,

if you would stick to the subject.

Now, I'll ask you again, what was

the source of this videotape?

Your Honour, with all due respect,

you don't have the right to ask!

That's it.

You're in contempt of court.

And as of tomorrow, I'm fining you

$10,000 a day

until you reveal the source

of your videotape!

Look, there's Larry. Look.

All right, folks, make way.

Let us through.

Mr. Flynt, is this a conspiracy?

Do you have the tapes?

Are you just trying to sell

more magazines, Larry?

Larry, where did you get the tapes?

What have you done with the

Vicki Morgan tapes. Do we get to see?

Do you really have

the Vicki Morgan sex tapes?

No. I told them I had the DeLorean

tapes. Now they believe anything I say.

Sir, take that helmet off.

We don't wear hats in the courtroom.

There's no war going on here.

You can never be too careful,

Your Honour.

Don't worry, the government

will take care of you.

We brought some

extra marshals today.

I'd appreciate your taking off

that helmet.

Are you going to obey the court and

reveal the source of that videotape

or are you gonna pay

the $10,000 that I ordered?

- I'd like a moment with my client.

- I don't need it. It is my right

under the freedom of the First

Amendment, to protect my sources!

Listen, don't go any further.

Shut up! Relax, Alan, relax!

Mr. Flynt, is that

an American flag you have on?

I have fashioned

this American flag into a diaper.

If you're gonna treat me like a baby,

I'm gonna act like one.

I'm ordering you arrested

for desecration of the flag.

Take him into custody.

- Your Honour, we'd like to post bond.

- Get the hell away from me!

- Take it easy.

- Just a minute, marshal.

Very well. The court will set a bond

on Mr. Larry Flynt for $50,000.

- This time I'd prefer a cashier's cheque.

- Understood. Understood.

Furthermore

I'm gonna keep

Mr. Flynt under a tight leash.

So as a condition of his bond,

he cannot leave the state of California.

Larry! Hey, Larry! Hey!

- Larry, you're not getting on that plane.

- Yes, I am.

No, you're not!

- You think this is some kind of a game?

- You're right. It's a f***ing joke!

Five and a half years since they

shot me, and the government

I was there too, all right? Remember?

I am not running around

- pissing off everyone who can help us.

- Well, you can walk

and you can f***,

and I'm in this chair!

And I got money.

And that gives me the power

to shake up this system.

Dougie.

Find somebody else to help you, then.

This is not what I signed on for.

I don't even know what

we're engaged in anymore, Larry.

- If you get on that plane, I quit.

- Alan, don't be so melodramatic.

You don't want to quit me.

I'm your dream client.

I'm the most fun,

I'm rich and I'm always in trouble.
