The Public Face & The Private Sphere

I know where it is, and I know where it is.

Just like that, just to see what it looks like.

That's it, yeah.

You can shoot too.

You can shoot right there.

Go in a little more.

You can, yeah, lean in a little more.

Then come out, go out, then come in.

You know, just keep doing that, you know? The same way you were.

Oh, I'm out of film.

Oh, you are? Hit some more film.

You can shoot, but you have to come in and out.

Okay? Other people, I can get them all over here.

That's pretty good the way it is.

Now, what I want to do though is get...

And the trade -off is that some people close frames, and despite the horror of the museum and the hovering guards, and also I have to add here...

The question is, what do you think of my line? You have removed your clothes, and I have removed the woman.

What do I think of it? I think that's a good line.

But you didn't let me organize another line to have in time to greet your line, so stop this spontaneous shooting.

...the woman whose head, whose face is unrecognizable, that's taken from the body.

...recognize that once a country becomes morally decadent and you start with filth, then we are going to spew out filth, and we're seeing the effects of that in society.

...violence and crime and attacks and rapes against society of all forms.

God created men, God created women, Hefner exploits them, he really does, with the use of Playboy magazine.

He's exploiting females for really personal gain in the degradation of our society.

That's all I really have to say.

You sound a little like a feminist.

Well, maybe this is one thing that we might have in common with them.

Although I don't support any feminist viewpoints as far as their whole philosophy, but I can't support them wholeheartedly in this stand.

...but hate the sin.

Say that one more time.

I said love the sinner, but hate his sin.

Hey, former bunny, have you been able to reach current bunnies with your message? I think I have, although it's impossible to really tell the effect of it totally, but I have been through my prayers.

When I visited the LA club a couple of years ago, at least three of the girls have come to the Lord that I've worked with as bunnies.

So I do feel somehow that I am able to touch them with my message and through my prayers.

What's the symbolism of this? It's clearly foul.

Are you recording that? ...

You have to try it out.

I don't say anything about how comfortable it was.
