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

They're my work, they're my play, they're my passion.

then we assign a word to a thought and we're stuck with that word for/ j, i& P1 O" v4 }- {6 y
that thought, so be careful with words. I like to think that the same4 a, @ B( [3 q! P- n/ R, Z
words that hurt can heal, it is a matter of how you pick them.

There are some that would have you not use certain words.& o7 T5 G! ]7 N/ d. }
There are 400,000 words in the English language and there are 7

399,993 to 7. They must really be bad. They'd have to be outrageous

"That's a bad word!" No bad words, bad thoughts, bad intentions,

Wow! ...and Tits doesn't even belong on the list. That is such a friendly

but you can understand why some of them are there. I'm not

there. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling.# @% q8 S: m6 ]2 O( e1 C4 m
I mean, they're just busy words. There's a lot of syllables to contend

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."

imprortant word. It is the beginning of life, yet it is a word we use to

than 2 people trying to kill one another. I, of course, can agree. It is/ z, z; r& p! s4 e+ P
a great sentence. I wish I knew who said it first. I agree with that but

the word Kill in all of those movie cliches we grew up with. "Okay,4 b% T4 k: I2 Z4 O

So maybe next year I'll have a whole fuckin' ramp on the N word.
8 d4 r- Q# r& q7 |( U$ {) |* |I hope so. Those are the 7 you can never say on television, under any% y; P2 P/ E! T- D

goes with that one is Prik. It's okay if it happens to your finger. You+ {* p! W0 [; `! X, o3 x
