1:22:02
or other words in a public place
is guilty of a misdemeanour''.
1:22:07
Now, ''obscene'' means
to the average person,
1:22:10
applying contemporary
standards of the community.
1:22:13
The dominant appeal of the matter
being to arouse a prurient interest,
1:22:17
which is a morbid or shameful interest
in nudity or sex or excretion,
1:22:22
which goes beyond the limits
of such matters.
1:22:25
Uh-oh.
1:22:27
..redeeming social importance.
1:22:29
Now, sex and obscenity
are not synonymous.
1:22:33
To make sex obscene,
it is necessary that the portrayal of it
1:22:37
must be done in such a way
that its dominant tendency
1:22:41
is to corrupt the average adult,
by creating a clear and present danger
1:22:47
of antisocial behaviour.
1:22:48
ln other words,
some cat'll see my show, get horny,
1:22:52
run off to a museum,
and jerk off a dinosaur!
1:22:55
''We, the jury, find
the defendant not guilty
1:22:57
of violation of Section 31 1 .6 of the
penal code of the state of California,
1:23:02
to wit, 'speaking or singing obscene
words or ballads in a public place'.''
1:23:08
(man) You'd mentioned you'd get
six months off that jail sentence.
1:23:12
Did that happen?
1:23:13
No, l got in some trouble,
so l had to serve my full time.
1:23:17
What kind of trouble?
1:23:19
- Well, l just did something crazy.
- You don't want to tell me about it?
1:23:24
No.
1:23:26
All right. Anyway, you did get out.
1:23:29
Yeah. They give you a lot
of speeches about rehabilitation,
1:23:33
they lay a little bread on you,
they try to help you, and then...
1:23:38
- Good luck, dear.
- Oh. Thank you.
1:23:41
..they drop you on the sidewalk.
1:23:53
