Hey, go to hell, Larry. Go to hell.
Bye.
Why did you disobey this court's order?
You were not to leave California.
- We had an honest misunderstanding.
- Counsellor, he's right.
Some rules are made to help us,
not hurt us, and I
I do apologise, Your Honour, and
I wanna fess up and reveal my source.
Now tell me who was
the source of this videotape?
- The samurai.
- Excuse me?
The samurai gave me the tape.
And who is this man,
and where is he?
Unfortunately, he had
a critical groin injury on the way
to give me the tape,
and he's undergoing
acupuncture treatment
- It's okay, Alan.
- Mr. Flynt.
This court fears
that you're seriously mentally ill.
Opinions are like a**holes:
Everybody's got one.
- Cut it out.
- Shut up, Alan!
- Shut up.
- You shut up!
Mr. Flynt, let your lawyer
do the talking.
No, I know the rules, okay?
- You're fired. I'm representing myself
- I am so tired of you. You're fired.
- You can't f***ing fire me!
- No cursing in this courtroom!
What?
- Larry Flynt
- How about spitting?
Marshal, put a gag on that man.
- Sit down, sir.
- You bastard!
Sit down, lady!
- Get off me!
- Everybody down in this courtroom!
All right, Mr. Flynt, are you willing
to calm down now, sir?
If I take that gag off of you
are you gonna show me and my staff
the respect that we deserve?
All right, marshal.
- F*** you, you son of a b*tch!
- I've had enough of this.
You leave me no choice
but to sentence you to 9 months.
- Nine months? Is that all you got?
- Three more months.
- F*** you, Your Honour!
- Want more?
- Larry, stop it.
- Sit down, lady!
Larry Flynt
you are sentenced to 15 months
in a federal psychiatric prison.
Hey, don't look at me.
Ask for bail, counsellor.
Can I post bail, Your Honour?
No!
- Now get him out of my courtroom!
- F***ing bastard!
You can say all of those foul words
behind four padded walls. Get him out!
- Gentlemen.
- Something we'd like to show you, sir.
I don't understand.
endorse a liquor company.
- There's a larger problem.
- Substantially larger.
You see, sir, it says right there
that the reverend
It says, sir
that he fornicated with his mother
in an outhouse.
Give me a second.
Now, what do you boys
have for me today?
Reverend, I think you need to read this.
Give me your jacket, please.
Jesus Christ.
Stand up, please.
Raise your foot.
- Arms up.
- Arms what?
Arms up.
Larry
you look so good.
You look like sh*t.
- What?
- Larry
I don't want to work
at the magazine anymore.
People there don't listen to me
and they don't talk to me.
They're afraid of me
and they don't shake my hand.
Larry, I went to Dr. Robert and
He told me that I was sick.
I mean, sick-sick.
I mean, I got AIDS, Larry.
They won't shake your hand?
Yes, sir. Yes.
Code pink. Code pink.
Code pink. Code pink.
Larry, it's Jimmy here.
You there?
Larry? Larry, you there?
I have some important
announcements to make.
- How's the hospital treating you?
- Never mind that.
- Is everybody there?
- We're here, Larry.
Good. You're all fired.
You can't just fire these people.
We need these people.
Shut up! It's my business,
and I'll run it into the ground if I want to.
Okay, that's all. I gotta go.
What the f*** was that?
Just calm down, Arlo.
Don't panic on me.
None of you guys are fired.
- But Larry just said that
- What did he say? He's in a nut house.
You're not fired. Is that a problem?
Thank you. Thanks.
Jesus, Althea.
Hi, hi.
Come on, sit down. Sit down.
You all right, Mrs. Flynt?
Fine, thanks.
You look different. I don't know.
Did you change your hair?
- Yeah, I changed my hair.
- Yeah, I like it.
Yeah, my hair's different.
So, what's up?
I got this the other day,
and I brought it by
to see if you would look at it, please.
Wow, that is
- I mean, this is
- It's intense.
Yes, it is.
What are we gonna do?
- You're gonna give it to Larry's lawyers.
- Alan, you are our lawyers.
You've always been our lawyers. You're
part of the family. Don't listen to Larry.
- You know how he is.
- I don't know, Althea.
We really need your help.
Please, please help us.
Please, please
Alan.
Boy, this is great, Larry. This is
really great. I hope it was worth it.
Didn't I fire you?
Well, I've always ignored
most of what you've said, right?
Listen, I know the timing is lousy
but you remember
The Jerry Falwell in the outhouse
with his mother and ?
He saw it.
And I guess it's safe to say he
He didn't find it all that funny.
He is suing you
for libel and intentional infliction
of emotional distress.
And he is asking for 40 million dollars.
This is Jerry Falwell in his home state.
So if you're up to it
how you want to deal with this.
Countersue.
- What?
- Yeah, Jerry. He's suing you.
He's suing me?
For heaven's sakes, on what grounds?
Well, you xeroxed his ad
and you sent it out
in a million fundraising letters.
Yeah, so?
But you didn't get his permission.
And that's copyright infringement.
The depth of his depravity sickens me.
They'll put you on the stand,
and your testimony
will make or break us, as always.
So downplay how much
you hate Falwell.
You've got to make them understand
that it was just a joke.
I'm just a clown
Take this seriously, Larry.
This is gonna be the most
expensive case you've ever had
- if you lose.
- Okay!
Reverend Falwell, you're a preacher,
is that right?
Yes, I am.
And as a preacher, you speak
You preach on television and on your
I do.
So you've achieved
a certain notoriety.
One might say a national reputation
for your sermons and your opinions
and ideas and your leadership
of the Moral Majority.
Yes, our membership
is now over 5 million.
But even beyond your membership,
really, you've been recognised
and awarded for your efforts
all over America.
I have a number
of honorary degrees.
In a recent poll
of Good Housekeeping magazine
I was voted Second
Most-Admired American
behind President Reagan.
Good Housekeeping? That's
I mean, hey, you're famous, right?
Well, I suppose you could say that.
Reverend Falwell, have you ever
had sex with your mother?
- Absolutely not.
- Never? I mean, you never ?
Never in the outhouse
as Hustler magazine suggested?
That is an absurd question.
My mother was
a very godly woman
and as close to a saint
as anyone I have ever known.
I'm sure she was.
Reverend, have you ever preached
while you were drunk?
Drunk? Never.
Never?
You never even had a few too many
and then went back on the radio?
That is a totally
outrageous suggestion.
- Totally outrageous?
- Totally.
You don't think that
some people, Reverend Falwell
despite your reputation, might have
