Chuck had come to my office
:18:08
and I needed a scene
for another film,
:18:10
He says, ''well,
Linda can do something.''
:18:13
You know, she...
There was no name for it.
:18:15
He says,
''She gives head very well.''
:18:18
l said,
''well, that's wonderful.''
:18:20
So we set up with her
and an actor
:18:22
to do a--a bit
for another film.
:18:27
And when l saw
what she could do,
:18:30
l says, ''Stop the cameras.''
:18:33
[camera whirring]
:18:47
All l could think about was
what she was doing
:18:49
was so unique
:18:51
that l could build
a whole film around it.
:18:57
Making a motion picture
specifically about
that sexual act,
:19:02
l--l found very daring
and very courageous.
:19:06
(Damiano)
The first thing that came
to my mind was--was the title
:19:09
of Deep, Deep Throat,
:19:11
Because something happened
deep down in--in her throat.
:19:17
what? The clitoris
is in her throat?
:19:24
Gerry, you can't do this.
:19:26
[chuckling]
:19:28
You can't do this.
lt's absurd, it's silly.
:19:31
Nobody will believe it.
:19:34
l thought it was,
:19:39
[stammering]
you know,
:19:42
absurd. l did.
:19:45
Believe it or not,
some people said,
''what is this, a medical film?
:19:48
what are you gonna do?
with doctors?''
:19:51
l said, ''No. No.''
:19:53
Somebody said it should be
The Sword Swallower,
:19:56
l said, ''No, no. Deep Throat,
believe me, it'll work.
lt'll work.''
:19:59
And, uh,
