That if the train starts
in Los Angeles

1:00:05
and you get on in Los Angeles,
1:00:07
and you ride to Denver
and get off,

1:00:10
but the train continues
on to Memphis,

1:00:12
you are legally responsible
for the entire journey,

1:00:17
And if you're responsible
for everything
that takes place,

1:00:19
you have unlimited liability.
1:00:21
This was a very creative use
of the law of conspiracy

1:00:25
and prosecutors
should never be creative.

1:00:29
That's not their job.
1:00:31
lf my mother
had been involved,

1:00:33
she would
have been indicted.

1:00:34
l will promise you that.
Uh, she wasn't.

1:00:38
when you tell artists,
bad artists or good artists,

1:00:41
that they cannot experiment
in certain avenues,

1:00:43
you are taking away
the basic freedoms
of every American.

1:00:46
For some reason, though,
1:00:49
it was as if
he is involved in art.

1:00:53
And so art is protected.
1:00:56
well, not by the definition
of the Supreme Court.

1:00:59
(Reems)
Maybe I'm disgusting
in some peoples' eyes,

1:01:01
Maybe others are bored by me.
1:01:03
But there are no laws against
acting in these films.

1:01:06
(Parrish)
And the actors
and the actresses,

1:01:09
I really hesitate
to call them that,

1:01:13
They are prostitutes
and whoremongers

1:01:16
[laughing]
on the screen.

1:01:18
l'm sorry,
that's just all they are.

1:01:21
And, uh...
1:01:23
Uh, they...
1:01:27
They don't even believe
that there is any law.

1:01:30
How do you communicate
to those persons

1:01:35
that this is against the law?
1:01:37
l face five years in jail.
1:01:39
Do l belong in jail
for five years
for acting in Deep Throat,

1:01:42
which is not
in violation of the law?

1:01:51
(Kramer)
If seeing this motion picture

1:01:53
as many times as
Larry Parrish has seen it

1:01:55
has not corrupted him,
or made him into a sex addict,

1:01:58
than l think
that's, uh, proof positive
