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?
:50:00
Doesn't your celluloid poison
attack all human dignity
:50:04
- and decency and beauty?
- I don't think you like my picture.
:50:08
I think somebody had better set
some standards. Some...
:50:12
...voice had better say,
"This far, and no farther."
:50:16
You're talking like a woman,
not a justice.
:50:18
You're talking like a justice,
not a witness. Sit down, Maloney.
:50:24
Have you been to New York lately?
:50:27
Times Square, 44th, 45th Street?
:50:30
It used to be a decent place to visit.
:50:32
Unforgettable music, powerful plays...
:50:37
Today, right around the corner,
on Eighth Avenue,
:50:40
your picture is probably playing
:50:42
alongside a lot of other pornography
and filth.
:50:44
Watch out, lady. Scratch me,
put me out of business,
:50:47
and who else gets scratched?
:50:49
The same end of the eraser
:50:50
can wipe out your unforgettable music
and your powerful plays.
:50:54
You're sharp, Maloney.
You pull every sleeve inside out.
:50:58
You want the liberty
to dirty up my liberty,
