Private Parts Page #3

Synopsis: Having always wanted to be a disc-jockey, Howard Stern works his way painfully from radio at his 1970's college to a Detroit station. It is with a move to Washington that he hits on an outrageous off-the-wall style that catches audience attention. Despite his on-air blue talk, at home he is a loving husband. He needs all the support he can get when he joins NBC in New York and comes up against a very different vision of radio.

I want to be on the radio.

He wants to be on radio.

But to be on the radio,

you have to have a voice.

You have to have

some verbal ability.

You hardly ever say a word.

This all from a guy who's only told me

to shut up about 50,000 times.

I talk.

You really want to be

on the radio?

OK. If you want

a shot at radio,

the counseling center says

there's a communications program

at Boston University.

OK, I know

what you're saying.

You're saying I look

a little old to be in college.

Well, for this movie,

you gotta suspend disbelief.

Hey, Lisa.

Lisa.

Hi, how you doing?

Hi.

I was wondering if you'd

like to go out Friday night.

With you?

No, thanks.

Hi. I was just

wondering if you...

Uh, no.

- Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Would you like to

go out Friday night?

Friday?

No. I have a lot of reading

to catch up on,

but thank you.

So I masturbated a lot...

2-time-a-day habit.

I'm not proud of it,

but I did it.

Senior year...

Big year for me.

I finally

got up the courage

to go down

to the college radio station

and get myself on the air.

And my name

is Howard Stern

on the Howard Stern

Experience,

and if you love music,

you'll love Deep Purple on TBU.

[Smoke On The Water Plays]

Ohh!

Ooh, ooh, ooh!

Ooh!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

[Needle Scratches Record]

How do I forget it?

It's the single worst moment

in radio history.

It's not radio.

It's college radio.

There's

nobody listening.

Nobody. Maybe, like,

3 guys in a dorm somewhere.

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, f***.

I know someone on this block.

Let me think.

Come on.

We're getting wet.

Down here. Down here.

Down here.

[Knock On Door]

Hi, Elyse.

Hey.

So, we were on our way to a rally

in support of feminism,

and we got caught

in the rain.

I'm wondering if we can come in

and just hang out for awhile.

Sure,

come on in.

Howard:
Can I use

your hair dryer?

Yeah, there's one at the end

of the hall. Hey, Rach.

Hi, Ellen.

This is Howard.

Oh, hi.

My hair's wet.

Put that there.

I'm just going to go

dry my hair.

Hey, I heard you

on the radio today.

You heard that?

Yeah. What happened?

I didn't think anybody

even listened to that.

Alison, this is Howard.

Howard, this is Alison.

Alison's

one of my roommates.

Hey.

[Thunder]

[Love Is A Many

Splendored Thing Plays]

Howard.

Howard.

Hair dryer's

in the bathroom.

Hi. Hi.

Hi, I'm Howard.

Look at you, man.

You can get her.

You can get her.

She looks hot.

[Sniff Sniff Sniff]

How are you?

I'm making a film

for my film class,

and, I mean,

it's a legitimate film.

You won't... You're not gonna

be naked or anything.

You'll have your clothes on,

you know.
