:48:03
Doesn't the First Amendment
apply to guys like me?
:48:06
Isn't it an umbrella that's supposed
to keep all of us from getting wet?
:48:09
Or is there a hole in it
over Nebraska?
:48:11
But the people of Nebraska have
the freedom to protect themselves
:48:15
against your abuse of their freedom.
:48:17
That's what this case is all about.
:48:19
Look, lady, I'm a businessman.
:48:22
I don't see where
the government's got any business
:48:24
telling me how to run my business!
:48:27
I'm relieved.
:48:29
For a while, I thought you might be
thinking of yourself as an artist.
:48:32
I do recall the word "art"
plastered across your film.
:48:39
Tell me, Mr. Maloney,
:48:41
do you honestly believe
The Naked Nymphomaniac is art?
:48:45
Sure. Why not? Who's to say it isn't?
What's art anyway?
:48:48
Artists don't even know,
let alone lawyers.
:48:52
Exactly what was your motivation in
filming The Naked Nymphomaniac?
:48:56
Money. You can't have much pursuit
of happiness in this country
:48:59
unless you pursue a little money.
Anything unconstitutional about that?
:49:03
Does the Constitution give you
the right to do anything for money?
:49:06
Does it give you the right
to shove me into bankruptcy?
:49:09
The lawmakers of Nebraska
want to stop the pollution of the minds
:49:12
and morals of the public
by films like yours.
:49:16
My colleague on this bench,
Mr. Justice Snow...
:49:19
Fine man. Know him very well.
:49:21
He feels strongly about profit-pursuing
conglomerates which pollute the air.
:49:25
Air's different. You gotta breathe.
You don't have to go to the movies.
:49:28
State and local governments have
a right to set community standards.
:49:32
People can say, "I don't want this
in my neighborhood."
:49:35
Is it OK for people to say, "We don't
want Baptists in our neighborhoods"?
:49:39
Your film, it's called
an exploitation film, is that correct?
:49:43
Right. You're keeping me
from exploiting it.
:49:45
Aren't you exploiting women?
:49:48
The act of love?
:49:50
Giving a distorted picture of sex
to young people?
:49:52
- Who am I hurting?
- I'm not talking about bodily harm.
:49:56
Has anyone died from seeing
The Naked Nymphomaniac?
:49:58
What about injury to the spirit?
