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

Piss and Cunt are on the list is because a long time ago, there were; n1 S) y- i3 _0 B: Q+ `
certain ladies that said "Those are the 2 I am not going to say. I

stupid sentences as "Okay you fuckers, I'm going to tinckle now."7 W" @+ }+ Q$ O

it takes to long. But I do mean that. I think the word Fuck is a very

So maybe next year I'll have a whole fuckin' ramp on the N word.
