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.2 p$ j; y7 o! Y" O# ], }7 B

Words are all we have, really. We have thoughts but thoughts are fluid.

words that hurt can heal, it is a matter of how you pick them., c0 L* E# ?; H% m
There are some people that are not into all the words.

"That's a bad word!" No bad words, bad thoughts, bad intentions,; s/ t8 [) T* o+ U5 p# c

some of those words got on the list, like CockSucker and+ P D8 c9 T M" Z3 F8 W2 v- p
MotherFucker. Those are heavyweight words. There is a lot going on4 p' y* r5 S: U) E
there. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling.3 ^0 F9 s+ z, X6 c1 o9 z
I mean, they're just busy words. There's a lot of syllables to contend# Y1 J' T/ R$ J, ^6 z* o
with. And those Ks, those are agressive sounds. They just jump out at. X+ B, i# a8 m: A5 `: p6 T; U
you like "coCKsuCKer, motherfuCKer. coCKsuCKer, motherfuCKer."5 C5 t# W1 S$ ] y$ F4 J
It's like an assualt on you. We mentioned Shit earlier, and 2 of the7 t5 Q* _& {7 D/ w( t% v# J, C
other 4-letter Anglo-Saxon words are Piss and Cunt, which go; n; U# [3 H( m! [% e
together of course. A little accedental humor there. The reason that
' J; m: Y' o% e9 d7 H- wPiss and Cunt are on the list is because a long time ago, there were9 M0 @8 w8 B# r9 O
certain ladies that said "Those are the 2 I am not going to say. I0 Q) I! }+ f7 P2 {
don't mind Fuck and Shit but 'P' and 'C' are out.", which led to such
/ D( W! [ E$ S$ Wstupid sentences as "Okay you fuckers, I'm going to tinckle now."

accedental humor, I don't wanna get into that now because I think
% Q9 O( y% [1 l$ s. B( h3 Lit takes to long. But I do mean that. I think the word Fuck is a very2 n6 G, ` H7 F/ B( E$ T T
imprortant word. It is the beginning of life, yet it is a word we use to2 m: ~/ ]5 ^+ t! p0 `! z
hurt one another quite often. People much wiser than I am said,, {/ S. H' u: ?% z+ \& ` q. L) b
"I'd rather have my son watch a film with 2 people making love; W6 Y$ s% U, i' P
than 2 people trying to kill one another. I, of course, can agree. It is
0 V0 `5 Z# b9 L1 o6 j9 z& fa great sentence. I wish I knew who said it first. I agree with that but# x( X" }; ^' ]' r f& v T+ Y" O; c
I like to take it a step further. I'd like to substitute the word Fuck for

I hope so. Those are the 7 you can never say on television, under any

clinically. You cannot weave them in on the panel with Doc, and Ed,4 V; l/ q# q2 E( y3 K4 y! L1 Z
and Johnny. I mean, it is just impossible. Forget tHose 7. They're out.! B6 t6 P! }5 {: b4 K! I
But there are some 2-way words, those double-meaning words.& e m; W4 _, D( n2 V' r0 y; z
Remember the ones you giggled at in sixth grade? "...And the cock$ T# y. f+ p/ @$ P
CROWED 3 times" "Hey, tha cock CROWED 3 times. ha ha ha ha. Hey, it's in
# O& }, Z- W3 z$ `0 L8 V4 @the bible. ha ha ha ha. There are some 2-way words, like it is okay for2 V# ~7 {1 }: i/ {
Kirk Youdi to say "Roberto Clametti has 2 balls on him.", but he can't4 J2 q; c( K* s8 U& W
say "I think he hurt his balls on that play, Tony. Don't you? He's holding
" R2 m# N- f' G% E' C/ U6 Dthem. He must've hurt them, by God." and the other 2-way word that
