Would you state your full name
for the record, please, Mr. Flynt?
Ahem. Yes, sir. Uh...

Cornwallis IPQ
Harvey HN Pagey Piu.
That's very interesting, but are you
also known as Larry Flynt?
A.k.a. Jesus H. Flynt, Esquire.
For chrissakes.
Are you the publisher and the
editor in chief of Hustler magazine?
I am the publisher of the most
tasteless, sleaziest,
most disgusting, greatest porn
magazine on the face of the earth.
Thank you.
I have in my hand Exhibit B,
which is a typewritten script
of the Campari ad.
When you approved this ad, did you
have any specific knowledge
that the Reverend Falwell
had ever engaged
in sexual intercourse
with his mother?
No. But
I have a photograph
of Falwell
having fellatio with a sheep.
Now, I don't think...
Your Honor, my client is in a heavily
medicated, mentally agitated state.
We will stipulate
that no such document exists.
I have it, and Mr. Fartwell
is a liar, a glutton
and a sheep-ophile.
My client's name is Jerry Falwell!
Jerry Falwell!
That's what I said, Jerry Fartwell!
Are you trying to hold
the Reverend Falwell up to ridicule?
No, contempt.
Scorn?
Truculent.
Obloquy?
Oh. God, my French is so rusty.
I love her.
Quiet in the courtroom.
I love you, baby.
Jesus loves me.
Mr. Flynt...
Do you have any aversion
to organized religion?
A virgin?
No, aversion. You heard me.
An aversion to organized religion.
I, uh...
You bet your sweet ass I do.
Does that gives you license to mock
the leaders of religious movements?
Well, goddamn right.
Objection! This is totally irrelevant!
Overruled.
Free expression is absolute.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Do you agree?
Order. Ma'am, if you can't
control yourself,
you're going to have to leave
the courtroom.
So that it was your intention
to hold Reverend Falwell
out to be a hypocrite?
Wasn't it?
Well, that's what he is.
But didn't it occur to you,
that Falwell must have an integrity
that people can believe in,
if he is to practice his profession?
Yeah.
And it was your intent
to destroy that integrity
and his livelihood if you could?
To assassinate it.
Hey, it's me.
It's a weird decision.
Well, get me Bill, quick.
No, he's not guilty of libel.
But he is guilty
of "inflicting emotional distress."
Now Flynt has to pay him
200 grand!
This ruling shows that nobody
can prostitute the First Amendment.
Pornography has thrust its
ugly head into our everyday lives.
The billion-dollar sex industry,
of which Larry Flynt
is a self-described leader,
