Original subtitles

Ladies and gentlemen,

the moment we've all been waiting for,

the one, the only...

Linda Lovelace!

- What's your name? - Linda Lovelace.

I meant what's your real name?

- That's my real name. - - So, what did you do

before you were the first ever pornographic film superstar?

How does it feel to be the poster girl

for the sexual revolution?

The pornographic film Deep Throat

has become one of the most popular

and profitable blue movies of all time.

Today a Manhattan criminal court judge ruled the film obscene

and ordered it removed from theaters in New York City.

This is kind of a strange country, isn't it? Judges can see Deep Throat,

- but they can't listen to those tapes. - - Deep Throat,

a trendsetting film that brought pornography into popular culture.

How did you become Linda Lovelace in the first place,

if you were born as Linda Boreman?

I think you can be a star,

and I don't mean just an adult-movie star.

I mean a real star.

Is your name Linda Lovelace?

So tell me,

who's the real Linda Lovelace?

- No! Patsy! Come on. - Jeez! Come on, Miss Holy Holy.

- You want to get tan lines? - Mm.

You're gonna thank me later.

So have you slept with that guy yet?

- No. Patsy, come on. - Don't be such a prude.

- You're 21 years old. - Prude?

How am I a prude? I think I've learned

my lesson that one time, thank you very much.

There are other things that you can do.

Ugh. I don't even know how to talk to you anymore.

Seriously, that's disgusting.

- That's disgusting.

- Linda! - Shit, is that your mom?

I thought you said she was work.

- Linda. - Take this, please.

- Yeah. - Put it out.

Linda, are you out back?

Honestly, what is this, a nudist colony?

- What are you wearing? - Ma!

Get in the house.

OK? 'Cause everybody's going fast.

- Ready? - Ready.

- Careful. - All I can see is your butt.

Oh, my God!

Cool band. They're missing something, though,

- don't you think? - Like what?

- Go-go dancers. - You volunteering?

- Come on, babe. - � The way that you do

- Move your hips! - � You're all right

� Whenever I'm asked what makes my dreams real �

- � I tell 'em you do - Feel it!

� So fee fi fo fum

� Look out, baby 'Cause here I come �

� Now I'm bringing you a love that's true �

� So get ready Get ready �

- � 'Cause here I come - � Get ready

� 'Cause here I come

- Actually, like... - Do that again.

- I know. - You enjoyed it.

I need, like, a week off.

- You two move pretty good up there. - Thanks.

You ever think about doing that professionally?

Yeah, right.

Yeah! Dancing girls in Vegas, they make two or 300 bucks a night.

What? Ha. Someone would pay that much to see me dance?

- I would.

I'm Chuck Traynor, by the way.

- I'm Patsy. - Linda.

- You guys smoke grass? - Yeah, sure.

Patsy, I have to go home now.

It's a little bit of grass. Come on, babe.

OK.

I'm good.

In accordance with your hopes,

mindful of your concerns,

sustained by your prayers,

- thank you, and good night. - Thanks, honey.

President Nixon addressing the nation live from...

Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad. See you later. I'm going.

Linda!

Where do you think you're going?

The beach.

It's dark.

And what on Earth do you have on?

- It's a party. - And whose party is it?

Uh, I'm going with Patsy and her boyfriend Ray. It's a friend of his.

- And what does this Ray do? - I don't know, Ma.

It's not like I made him fill out a questionnaire.

Mm-mm.

I think Patsy said he was a bartender, all right?

But I did tell them that I had to be home by 11:00 on the nose.

Any later, and I'll call you, swear to God.

- See you, sweetheart.

� How long have we been

� Traveling, my friend?

The French Connection.

You know that one?

- The one with that guy? - Exactly.

My God, I was so stoned when I saw that.

I couldn't figure out what was going on.

I kept expecting there to be subtitles.

- Yeah, there weren't. - No, I know.

They were speaking American.

No, but by the time I figured that out,

it was, like, halfway through the movie.

Hey, guys. Let's go skinny-dipping.

No! I gotta go, so...

- What? - Yeah.

You're such a drag.

We're gonna go. Whoo!

Come on. I'm going in!

- Jump in!

- You don't dig the ocean? - No.

I don't know.

- Ow. - What?

- You bit me. - I did?

- Yeah. - No, I didn't.

It's cool.

You don't think I'm a drag?

Well, I don't think you're a drag at all.

- No? - No way.

Thanks for the ride home.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait! Come on!

Come on!

You haven't said a word since we got in the car.

You can tell me.

What is it? What's going on?

OK.

- I got pregnant. - Mm.

And I had a baby last year,

and that's why we moved here from Yonkers.

Where's this... Where's this baby now?

I don't even know.

My mom put him up for adoption.

She told me I was signing circumcision papers.

- Damn. - Yeah.

I'd like to meet your folks.

- Really? - I think they'd dig me.

No, they don't dig anybody.

They don't even dig themselves.

Listen, I'll make you a bet.

You have me over for dinner,

and by the end of the night,

if they say, "What a lovely young man,"

- then I win. - What do you win?

You spend the night at my house.

And if they don't, what do I win?

You spend the night at my house.

- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.

OK. Right there.

Lord, make us thankful for these

and all our many blessings. Amen.

- Amen. - Amen.

Chuck, I'd like to thank you again

- for those lovely flowers. - My pleasure.

Linda tells us that you were in the service.

Yes, ma'am, Marine Corps.

Mr. Boreman was in World War II.

Oh, yeah? You in the Corps?

- No, Army. Italy, mostly. - I was stationed in Korea.

I won a couple of marksmanship competitions,

but that's about all the action I ever saw.

I bet you would have been brave, though.

The guys that served with your father,

they're some of the bravest men that I ever met.

So, what do you do now?

- I own a bar and restaurant. - That's interesting.

What kind of bar and restaurant?

Just good food and pretty waitresses.

What do you do for work, Mr. Boreman?

I was a cop in New York before we moved to Florida.

Now I do security at the airport.

Mr. Boreman has a million stories, Chuck.

Is that right?

Johnny, you better go in the kitchen and warm his milk.

Milk. OK.

Mugs are above the sink, Linda.

- Jesus. - Forget about them.

- Yeah, right. - Yeah.

Where are you? Where are you right now?

- I'm with you. - Yeah.

Yeah, that's my girl.

You're my girl, hmm? Right?

Yeah.

They don't eat with their hands, you dope.

- Say it. - I... I'm...

I'm your girl.

How's it coming out there, Linda?

Uh, almost there, Ma!

What time's the movie get out?

- I told you, 10:30. - Be home at 11:00.

I know.

Seems like a nice young man.

"Fooled Around and Fell in Love"]

Oh, right. Um...

Hey!

Just cut it out.

What are you so uptight about?

- My scar. It's gross. - Come on. Foxy girl like you

should love to show off her body.

Come on. Come on. Let me see.

Come on. Let me see it.

- It's gross. - Please?

This is it? This little thing?

Ah.

It's ugly. I hate it.

Why? 'Cause it's different? 'Cause it's not perfect?

All those uptight idiots in the suburbs.

All those cookie-cutter robots

that your mama goes to church with.

Screw 'em.

Screw 'em.

'Cause this and you,

mm, are beautiful.

You're late.

Come on, baby.

Yeah!

To... Keep going. Keep going. Boom.

And here we go.

You put a lot of margarita mix in there.

Uh, yeah. OK.

Margarita?

- Thanks. - Hey.

Hey.

- Mmm.

- You like porno? - I like some.

You like 'em.

- No. - I can tell.

- Yeah, you do. - I don't.

- Yeah. - I don't actually.

Trust me.

- I love your XXX. - What are you doing?

- Hey! - But Linda won't mind. She's cool.

OK?

I wouldn't go in there if I were you.

- Oh, my God. - Home movie.

My parents took one of me once, but it didn't look like this.

I bet.

I've never seen a porno before.

Is it turning you on?

Good girls don't do that stuff.

Oh, 'cause you're a good girl?

I can tell you're such a good girl.

That's what I love about you. You're such a good girl.

- Come on.

I don't want to.

You know, maybe that's 'cause you're not any good at it.

- Come on. You're gonna love it. - Really?

- Yeah. - I'm gonna like it? Choking myself?

I could teach you. Remember how I got you to quit smoking?

Yeah. You gonna hypnotize me?

It's the same mind-body control technique.

Yeah?

Out of sight. Ah!

Hey, your mind has control.

Come on. A little more. There you go.

Take it in. That's right.

Don't forget to breathe. Come here.

Don't forget to breathe, OK?

"Spirit in the Sky"]

You got it. OK? Go.

Oh, yeah.

Congratulations, Mrs. Chuck Traynor.

I've never done it with a married man before.

- Me neither. - Good.

- Hello. - - Hi. It's me.

Where are you? I've been really worried about you.

Get some money, and come get me.

- I'm in jail. - Ha-ha. Very funny.

Here you go, ma'am.

Oh! OK.

What happened, Chuck?

What did I say?

But this is different.

Whoo!

You said never ask about your work.

That's right.

Some girls were turning tricks out back.

What do you mean by... Prostitution?

Yeah. Linda, it's a titty bar.

What do you think these girls live off? Minimum wage?

Wait. The cops gonna come ask me questions?

No. No, no, no, no, no, no, baby.

Wives can't testify against husbands.

Hey. Look, all I need is money.

Look, after paying your bail, I have, um, $32, $33.

Linda, real money.

It's the IRS and the Miami PD,

and it's all just that shakedown.

- Do you have enough? - "We."

Baby, do we have enough, right?

- No, we don't. - Mm-mm.

- Not yet. - So, what are we gonna do?

Mary had a little lamb, whose fleece was white as snow,

and everywhere that Mary went...

...the lamb was sure to go.

Yeah, right?

- That... That was great.

- Did I tell you, or what, right? - You did. You told us.

Sweetheart, there's a little diner on the corner.

Why don't you run down, grab us four coffees, regular?

- OK. - All right?

- On the corner? - Yeah.

- Thanks a lot, darling. - Beautiful work.

Jesus fucking Christ, Chuck. What the fuck was that?

Does she even know what she was auditioning for?

I know. I know. She's new at this professionally. I could show you this thing.

Well, Chuck, she's really cute. She's adorable.

She's like a sexy Raggedy Ann or something.

- Cute freckles. - Really dug her freckles. It was very...

But, you know, for this industry, I don't... I don't know.

You don't know what, Jerry?

Go ahead. Be honest.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

No, look, the point is, we traffic in fantasy here.

Yeah, she's very real, the kind of girl you sit next to her in class.

You see her out on the street, you want to ball her.

But, you know, you've seen the girls that come in and do this now.

I mean, they've all been to the surgeon.

I mean, you can't light your cigarette around 'em.

You're afraid their tits are gonna go up

like the Hindenburg or something.

Linda has tits.

She does. Nice ones, too.

Not the point.

It's not like the old days, you know, where you just point a camera

at two people screwing, and you call it art.

I mean, the audiences expect a lot more.

She's beautiful, but, you know, more pizzazz.

- We need more pizzazz. - No offense.

I'm gonna show you what Jerry's talking about.

- No, I... - Nicky, come here for a sec.

I want to show you this... I want to show you this movie we made.

Now, this is the prototype, right?

People want blonde hair, huge tits,

and a nice, beautiful round ass.

It's the harsh reality of our chosen profession.

- Dynamite work, Nicky. - Thanks, Butch.

I'm gonna show you this.

Chuck, we are making a movie here

on 35 millimeter. Jerry even wrote a script.

- Forty-two pages. - You hear that? Forty-two fucking pages.

This thing is gonna be in theaters,

and, look, people want what they want.

Chuck, your girl,

she's cute, she's skinny. She's got no hips.

It's like making a war movie without the fighting.

Tits and ass, that's the action.

Chuck, I don't want to bum you out. Can she type?

Maybe I could find some work for her in the office.

Look at this! Look at the...

I don't care about this. Listen to me.

I know she doesn't have it. Chuck.

- Look at that! - We just saw what she could do.

- She acted? Couldn't act. - Look what she can do.

- Look! See? - Whoa, Butchie.

But... Are you... Did you see this?

Look at this. Look at this. Are you seeing this?

- Holy shit. - Oh!

Wait. Is that real?

Is she actually doing that?

Yeah, right.

Ho ho! Oh, my God!

Yeah, can she do that with a big cock?

- No offense. - She can do that with anything.

Ah, that's far out. That is... You see that?

That is art, baby. That's art.

- Anybody want a hit? - Jerry?

- Yeah? - Not a cloud in the sky.

What's with all the fucking lights?

Shadows, Butchie, shadows.

Your shadows are costing me hundreds of dollars.

You want to turn the lights off? You want it to look like shit?

No problem. I'll turn 'em all off.

Fucking artist, huh?

- Bad toupee. - Wants to make a movie without lights.

How long have you been a makeup person?

Oh, I'm not a professional.

I mean, not in makeup, anyway.

You know, when you get to be my age in this business,

it helps to have as many skills as you can.

I don't have any skills.

That's not what I heard.

There she is. Here's our star, huh?

What'd I tell you? The girl next door.

Linda, this is our financier, Anthony Romano.

It's very nice to meet you.

Sweetheart, let me tell you something.

If what these guys are saying is true,

this is gonna be the best investment of my life.

I can't wait to see your work.

Yeah. Oh, and this is Dolly.

- This is Linda's costar and makeup artist. - A pleasure.

- I have many skills. - Yeah? Do you?

Let's let the stars get back to work, huh?

All right. We'll see you later.

Easy there, sister. Don't cover her freckles.

OK.

Hey. What are you doing?

Her freckles are her thing.

- All right? - OK.

Be cool.

You look good.

All right. Just not too much, OK?

- You hear me? - Yeah, I hear you.

Wow, he's pretty intense.

I used to have an old man like that once.

You know, I should probably...

...do something about those.

Mr. Damiano will be really pissed if I just leave 'em like that.

- I'm so clumsy. - I know, sweetie.

We all are.

There's just got to be more to life than screwing around.

Than screwing around.

Sex, I don't enjoy it.

Sex, I don't enjoy it.

Linda? Harry.

We're getting it on in the next scene.

Oh, hey. It's nice to meet you.

I thought your name was Dick.

My stage name used to be Dick Long,

but it sounded kind of obvious, so you know...

Yeah. I agree.
