: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,
:51:01
my security against the profiteering,
two-legged cockroaches of this world,
:51:06
my right to live in a sweet and decent
society, and not some kind of sewer.
:51:10
Even in New York,
:51:11
you have to clean up
after your dog shits on the sidewalk.
:51:15
It's a perversion of the Constitution
to shove our faces into excrement
:51:19
masquerading as art.
:51:21
Oh, I'm glad I met you, Mr. Maloney.
:51:24
I feel I have a much better
understanding of you
:51:27
and Justice Snow.
:51:29
He may want the absolute freedom
to go straight to hell. That's his right,
:51:34
but he has no right to force the rest
of the country to take the trip with him.
:51:38
You may step down.
:51:42
Yeah, you make
a pretty good trial lawyer.
:51:44
- Too bad you had to give it up.
- You make a very good actor.
:51:48
I may always feel there's
a pornographic producer
:51:50
under your robes.
:51:54
It makes me sick to my stomach
:51:56
to have to defend a principle
as noble as the First Amendment
:51:58
on the basis of that can of film
you found so offensive.
