''l love ya, l just can't come, that's my
hang-up. l can't come when l'm loaded. ''
1:21:08
- ''Cos you don't love me. ''
- ''What is the matter?''
1:21:10
''What has that got to do with loving
you? l just can't come, that's all. ''
1:21:14
Now, if anyone in this room,
or the world,
1:21:18
finds those two words
obscene, indecent, immoral,
1:21:23
you probably can't come.
1:21:25

1:21:27
Mr Bruce, you are smiling.
This is not for your entertainment.
1:21:31
l don't know if what l've heard
is legally obscene...
1:21:33
- Your Honour, do you believe in God?
- Bailiff?
1:21:36
A God that made your body.
1:21:38
lf you believe there is a God
that made your body,
1:21:41
then why do you keep telling children
to cover up, that the body is dirty?
1:21:45
God, what a bore.
1:21:47
lf the body is dirty, then the fault
lies with the manufacturer.
1:21:50
That means you gotta schlep
God into court with me.
1:21:53
The defendant is charged
with violating section 31 1 .6
1:21:56
of the California penal code
which provides:
1:21:59
''Any person who knowingly
speaks any obscene song, ballad
1:22:02
or other words in a public place
is guilty of a misdemeanour''.
1:22:07
Now, ''obscene'' means
to the average person,
1:22:10
applying contemporary
standards of the community.
1:22:13
The dominant appeal of the matter
being to arouse a prurient interest,
1:22:17
which is a morbid or shameful interest
in nudity or sex or excretion,
1:22:22
which goes beyond the limits
of such matters.
1:22:25
Uh-oh.
1:22:27
..redeeming social importance.
1:22:29
Now, sex and obscenity
are not synonymous.
1:22:33
To make sex obscene,
it is necessary that the portrayal of it
1:22:37
must be done in such a way
that its dominant tendency
1:22:41
is to corrupt the average adult,
by creating a clear and present danger
1:22:47
of antisocial behaviour.
1:22:48
ln other words,
some cat'll see my show, get horny,
1:22:52
run off to a museum,
and jerk off a dinosaur!
1:22:55
''We, the jury, find
the defendant not guilty
1:22:57
of violation of Section 31 1 .6 of the
penal code of the state of California,
