And who are you to defy God?

Just shoot her!

Jesus Christ.

Where is she?

Althea! Hey, baby. Hey.

Happy birthday, baby.

And I have a heart from my heart.

Larry, that's beautiful.

- What's wrong?

- The distributor called

and unfortunately, we've had

only a 25 percent sell-through.

Somebody want to translate that

for me?

What that means is,

they're sending back 150,000 copies.

That's what it means.

- Sh*t!

- You're a stupid, dumb briarhopper.

- What made you think you'd pull it off?

- At least he has balls, Jimmy.

- Yeah, well, what he needs is brains.

- Oh, God, Einstein's speaking.

I'm so impressed.

- One more issue and we're wiped out?

- Yeah.

You said yourself,

"It's not so bad to be poor."

Hey, f*** you, Althea.

You go be poor, okay?

F*** me? I believe you're the one

that got us into this debt

in the first place.

You think just because it's your

birthday that you can be a b*tch?

Yeah, and I think I'm 50 feet tall

and you have a needle dick, okay?

Don't ever hit me like that again.

Don't talk to me like that.

Don't hit me like that.

I'll go back.

I'll go back, and I'll eat dog food,

okay? Dog food.

You know, take this. I don't

own this anymore. I don't have one.

Throw it out in the street.

We have a guy on the phone

from Italy.

He claims he has naked pictures

of Jackie O.

Put him through. Yeah, hello.

- You the photographer?

- Right, yeah.

- What do you got?

- Is this Mr. Flynt?

Yeah, this is Mr. Flynt.

Listen, I was watching

that damn island for four months

and then one day, man,

cabana door opens

and out comes Jackie O

with nothing on.

- I mean, not a single stitch.

- You sure it's Jackie O?

Yeah, sure.

- And what do you see?

- You see absolutely everything.

Trust me. And she's a good one.

This ain't no Mamie Eisenhower

or Lady Bird.

Oh, my God. First p*ssy.

Everyone's talking about

local boy done good

- Hey!

- What?

Larry Flynt, whose Hustler magazine

has reached national sales

of an astonishing 2 million copies.

- And in a stunning disclosure

- Move your ass!

WGBE-TV has learned that

Ohio Governor Jim Rhodes, himself

was spotted at a newsstand buying

a copy of the infamous Jackie O issue.

- I spoke to the governor today

- Move it!

and he had this response:

Everybody knows I've been a historical

buff about first ladies for a long time.

Are you saying you'd be interested in

nude photos of Martha Washington?

- She's a little bit before my time.

- Arlo!

What about nude photos of your wife?

A teacher educates our children

and they become model citizens.

The clergyman preaches,

and we find spirituality.

My bank gives loans,

and homes get built.
