The following is transcript of one of Carlin's program, not the above unfortunately, but it helps to read it.

I love words. I thank you for hearing my words.
9 ~/ K& {) C' s+ |9 o5 VI want to tell you something about words that I think is important.
* B& @8 \' o# p; v* fThey're my work, they're my play, they're my passion.
8 [! K* d3 B# L- _9 c2 l& S0 V p7 kWords are all we have, really. We have thoughts but thoughts are fluid.

that thought, so be careful with words. I like to think that the same

There are some people that are not into all the words.6 g1 u9 C1 z1 N6 D# V! r
There are some that would have you not use certain words.
* n! O, O. @6 s4 ^# i' e, t, kThere are 400,000 words in the English language and there are 7

Bad Words. That's what they told us they were, remember?8 A9 X) }( F$ G% K2 l2 U* S0 k
"That's a bad word!" No bad words, bad thoughts, bad intentions, p3 N) r: N- c0 B/ i: f
and words. You know the 7, don't you, that you can't say on television?, H6 a6 r' p/ _3 W
"Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, CockSucker, MotherFucker, and Tits"

6 N) z8 O& M. n# C9 Q"Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, CockSucker, MotherFucker, and Tits"
8 s' E2 J' h# P# i+ PWow! ...and Tits doesn't even belong on the list. That is such a friendly2 p. s& @% I7 x+ K8 P2 Z
sounding word. It sounds like a nickname, right? "Hey, Tits, come here,
# X: W# U; Y' G& M8 l8 v6 yman. Hey Tits, meet Toots. Toots, Tits. Tits, Toots." It sounds like a1 Y: u x% [2 ^
snack, doesn't it? Yes, I know, it is a snack. I don't mean your sexist( r' A1 x) k0 Z+ r5 C
snack. I mean New Nabisco Tits!, and new Cheese Tits, Corn Tits,
) I6 e3 y, O" mPizza Tits, Sesame Tits, Onion Tits, Tater Tits. "Betcha Can't Eat Just6 }( y# }! O% ]+ z
One." That's true. I usually switch off. But I mean, that word does
; @# L$ ]2 u: |! z. bnot belong on the list. Actually none of the words belong on the list,5 _5 \. _7 a' u7 r, i4 C: V1 C
but you can understand why some of them are there. I'm not
8 Z5 B: k+ X0 E' y0 K5 K9 [completely insensetive to people's feelings. I can understand why- e+ D$ S, C& d7 j; i
some of those words got on the list, like CockSucker and& |9 s& ^: q! ]
MotherFucker. Those are heavyweight words. There is a lot going on" h! d$ X0 x) D: E1 p, i! q) w% E
there. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling.
$ Y) u3 B1 [. w* O, O1 [I mean, they're just busy words. There's a lot of syllables to contend5 Q8 l1 i) A( @( i9 M
with. And those Ks, those are agressive sounds. They just jump out at
) d) v1 q) U; T1 hyou like "coCKsuCKer, motherfuCKer. coCKsuCKer, motherfuCKer."1 @9 f8 R3 S- V' q
It's like an assualt on you. We mentioned Shit earlier, and 2 of the8 `; M- a$ L; K6 j! s+ E2 g g7 Q
other 4-letter Anglo-Saxon words are Piss and Cunt, which go: r% E* N' f. A4 f" D7 c2 W! |5 a
together of course. A little accedental humor there. The reason that5 n% Q. `# @! V1 @% G6 `
Piss and Cunt are on the list is because a long time ago, there were
& R, v- ?, }1 U- @9 G+ Acertain ladies that said "Those are the 2 I am not going to say. I( ?% C# M, {' C, `' A# e* A1 A
don't mind Fuck and Shit but 'P' and 'C' are out.", which led to such
* r* E9 V8 f% l8 ^stupid sentences as "Okay you fuckers, I'm going to tinckle now."
" [5 Q n/ M6 k# R2 m" eAnd, of course, the word Fuck. I don't really, well that's more0 Y( R4 d) F) L: `, o# P
accedental humor, I don't wanna get into that now because I think
, \* t$ P# q7 cit takes to long. But I do mean that. I think the word Fuck is a very
; j0 o* |" B$ Rimprortant word. It is the beginning of life, yet it is a word we use to
' T3 l" [6 _8 y' Ohurt one another quite often. People much wiser than I am said,
9 t% y3 s% ?& G3 z2 `+ V"I'd rather have my son watch a film with 2 people making love2 R( K% @1 ]* W2 b8 C
than 2 people trying to kill one another. I, of course, can agree. It is$ m8 Y5 e, B7 {- D( F" E& d' k
a great sentence. I wish I knew who said it first. I agree with that but
R: ?# v' G+ WI like to take it a step further. I'd like to substitute the word Fuck for
: g3 h+ L6 i" {8 S: y; p8 v( nthe word Kill in all of those movie cliches we grew up with. "Okay,
- W$ V8 k7 \5 [6 b& m9 R+ HSherrif, we're gonna Fuck you now, but we're gonna Fuck you slow."

I hope so. Those are the 7 you can never say on television, under any
' y8 o" Z9 r+ h) dcircumstanses. You just cannot say them ever ever ever. Not even) Q2 E+ n8 p! |$ X' o( ~
clinically. You cannot weave them in on the panel with Doc, and Ed,
! a9 X+ W, ?- L. c& land Johnny. I mean, it is just impossible. Forget tHose 7. They're out.
2 G8 y, N' E; S; B1 Q: y; k4 hBut there are some 2-way words, those double-meaning words.
. Y# s( H. X% e8 [5 wRemember the ones you giggled at in sixth grade? "...And the cock. G4 q' M2 r0 g
CROWED 3 times" "Hey, tha cock CROWED 3 times. ha ha ha ha. Hey, it's in) W, ~1 u6 ^# u0 T8 h
the bible. ha ha ha ha. There are some 2-way words, like it is okay for- ]# w* X" |' A- V$ u0 w. K7 A
Kirk Youdi to say "Roberto Clametti has 2 balls on him.", but he can't& m5 X; K" L) P+ G. F- }! u
say "I think he hurt his balls on that play, Tony. Don't you? He's holding
' o" @; i8 P7 y# a0 Vthem. He must've hurt them, by God." and the other 2-way word that+ l( A, A5 E4 z4 v- B4 {
goes with that one is Prik. It's okay if it happens to your finger. You
7 x$ m. @$ d7 x; qcan prik your finger but don't finger your prik. No,no. |
