The one-take master shot scene of Lenny doing his act in a raincoat near the end of the film came from an actual tape recorded from a show he did that was sent to Dustin Hoffman by a student who saw the show. Lenny's exact words in the scene on stage are verbatim from the tape of his show.
Lenny Bruce: "Fuck you." Never understood that insult, because fucking someone is actually really pleasant. If we're trying to be mean, we should say "unfuck you!"
Honey talks about her being committed to a mental institute.Lenny was sentenced to four months in prison. His mother takes Kitty for the night, and Lenny overdoses.
Last shot: Lenny naked on the bathroom floor.
