:50:03
I mean, you see, I just can't
allow the name of Peacock...
:50:07
to be associated with a
magazine like, uh... Like what?
:50:11
Well, like, uh...
:50:15
Miss Erica Lane on the cover
without a stitch of clothes on.
:50:19
Mr. Peacock, can you think of a stitch
that Miss Lane could possibly wear...
:50:22
that would be more beautiful
than what it's covering?
:50:24
Than what
it's covering?
:50:27
Well, uh... no.
:50:31
Abner, sit down.
:50:34
I think we should have
a talk. Man-to-man.
:50:38
Mr. Peacock, as a modern,
sophisticated editor,
:50:42
you must know from your own
experience that sex...
:50:45
uninhibited, frank and open is
one of nature's greatestjoys.
:50:48
Well, uh...
:50:52
Actually, I haven't
had a lot of, uh...
:50:55
What I mean is...
:50:57
Now, Mr. Peacock, this is no
time to be coy. A man like you.!
:51:01
Well...
:51:04
That's why the Peacock Magazine
is going to be clean.
:51:06
You and I are gonna take sex and put
it where it belongs... out in the open.
:51:12
Yes, the Peacock Magazine
is gonna be a sex magazine...
:51:15
but clean sex,
:51:17
purified by frankness
and open discussion.
:51:20
Abner, American men and women
are begging...
:51:24
to break the chains
of their Puritanical heritage,
:51:26
to free them
of their sexual frustrations.
:51:29
They're crying to us,
Abner.
:51:32
Let us take up
the gauntlet.
:51:34
Together, let us create
a great new magazine.
:51:37
Well, uh, you see, I don't know how
I could be of much help in that field.
:51:41
Birds are my line. I really
don't know... You don't know?
:51:46
Abner, you're the whole
ball of wax!
:51:48
The public will only accept that the Peacock
is the world's number one swinging magazine...
:51:52
if they believe that the man behind
it is the world's number one swinger.
:51:55
You, Abner Peacock.
Me... a swinger.
:51:58
Miss LaMonica,
I-I never swung, uh...
