tape equipment, engineers.
1:17:06
He even hired a guy
to record his own trials!
1:17:08
Officer Ryan, were you sexually
stimulated by Mr Bruce's performance?
1:17:13
lrrelevant and immaterial, Your Honour.
1:17:16
- Overruled.
- No, sir.
1:17:18
Officer Ryan, have you ever used
the word ''cocksucker''?
1:17:23
Not to my knowledge.
1:17:25
You are quite familiar with the term
''cocksucker'', are you not?
1:17:28
l've heard it used.
1:17:30
Matter of fact, the word ''cocksucker''
is frequently heard
1:17:33
in a police station, is it not?
1:17:35
lrrelevant and not germane to the issue.
1:17:37
The objection is overruled.
You may answer, Officer.
1:17:42
(clears throat) Could l have
the question again, please?
1:17:47
''Matter of fact, the word 'cocksucker'
is frequently heard
1:17:51
in a police station, is it not?''
1:17:54
(clears throat) l have heard it used, yes.
1:17:58
Yes, you have heard
the word ''cocksucker''
1:18:02
used in a police station,
which is a public place.
1:18:06
l think you're all getting off on that word.
1:18:08
You see, Lenny Bruce's satire
is related to the kind of social satire
1:18:12
found in the works
of Aristophanes, Jonathan Swift...
1:18:15
Your Honour, Aristophanes
is not testifying here.
1:18:19
l don't see how he really could.
1:18:27
Reverend Mooney, could you give
the jury a brief summary
1:18:30
of your background in the
field of higher education?
1:18:33
Yes. l have been a Professor of Theology
for almost 1 2 years now.
1:18:39
Could you speak a little louder, sir?
1:18:42
Yes.
1:18:43
l've taught at Boston University
for three years,
1:18:48
Northwestern University for two years,
1:18:51
then UCLA for three years more,
1:18:53
and l am now at Berkeley.
1:18:56
This poor schmuck can't hold a job.
1:18:59
Reverend Mooney, how would
you characterise Mr Bruce's work?
