“Judge, just hear my act once.
You convicted me on what someone said my act is.
I know you are all good men and want to do right.
Just let me show you my act.
I know you’ll help because this is justice
and you don’t want to do wrong.
Please, please just let me show you my act. It’s not dirty.”
- Lenny Bruce to the judge at his New York trial
