of the "snow job,"Copy !req
48. of emptying a rube's wallet
while leaving them with nothingCopy !req
49. - but a smile on their face.Copy !req
50. But a carnival act
that would get youCopy !req

and a unique trick,Copy !req
53. that gave the audience feelingsCopy !req
54. they weren't sure

419. Are you sorry We drifted apart?Copy !req
420. Never know
How much I love youCopy !req
421. Never know how much I careCopy !req
422. When you put your arms
around meCopy !req
423. Oh, come on, E.P.Copy !req
424. Life on the road ain't
the concern of folks back home.Copy !req
425. FeverCopy !req
426. Why don't you try
one of these?Copy !req
427. Put the pep back
into your step.Copy !req
428. What a lovely way to burnCopy !req
429. Well, shake, rattle and rollCopy !req
430. I said shake,
rattle and rollCopy !req
431. I said shake, rattle and rollCopy !req
432. Well, you won't do rightCopy !req
433. Whoo!Copy !req
434. To save your doggone soulCopy !req
435. You're really
something else, man!Copy !req
436. I promise,
I'll put my heart in—Copy !req
437. - I wanna be just like you!Copy !req
438. Okay. Yeah, thank you.Copy !req
439. I can no longer,
in good conscience,Copy !req
440. go on stage with that boy.Copy !req
441. Yes, a conundrum. A conundrum.Copy !req
442. Please welcome
to the stage, Hank Snow!Copy !req
443. After I perform, I shall
spend the night in prayer.Copy !req
444. And I will do
what needs to be done.Copy !req
445. Come on, Jimmie!Copy !req
446. How do you think
that I feelCopy !req
447. Oh, babyCopy !req
448. How do you think
that I feelCopy !req
449. That night,
I happened to see him.Copy !req
450. Alone.Copy !req
451. Lost.Copy !req
452. A snowman is only as good...Copy !req
453. as his attraction.Copy !req
454. Elvis!Copy !req
455. - Come on, man.
- Elvis, come on! Hurry up!Copy !req
456. It was all,
or nothing.Copy !req
457. Elvis, we're going
to the hall of mirrors!Copy !req
458. Wait up!Copy !req
459. Screw the hall
of mirrors. That's boring.Copy !req
460. Right, hang on.
Here we go.Copy !req
461. Hold on.Copy !req
462. All right, fellas. Come on.Copy !req
463. - Oh.
- Lost, my boy?Copy !req
464. Colonel Parker, sir.Copy !req
465. - You look lost.Copy !req
466. - I guess I am.
- Ah, yes.Copy !req
467. The roar of the crowd.
The life on the road.Copy !req
468. And then calling home
to your loved ones,Copy !req
469. pretending nothing has changed,Copy !req
470. when everything has.Copy !req
471. Yeah. Lost.Copy !req
472. I'm sorry, sir. I... I meant
I don't know the way out.Copy !req
473. Yeah, that is precisely
what I am saying.Copy !req
474. I... I saw you.
Apart from all the others.Copy !req
475. Burdened.Copy !req
476. Like you don't know
how to get out of this.Copy !req
477. But I do.Copy !req
478. Snowman's comingCopy !req
479. Allow me to show you.Copy !req
480. Yes, he's comingCopy !req
481. Take his magic handCopy !req
482. Creatures of the carnival.Copy !req
483. - And I am one myself.Copy !req
484. It's where I learned the art
of the snow job.Copy !req
485. - Snow job?
- Yes.Copy !req
486. It's like the trick
you do with the wiggling,Copy !req
487. getting all the girls
hyped up,Copy !req
488. empty their wallets
and leave themCopy !req
489. with nothing but the smiles
on their faces.Copy !req
490. I'm no trickster.Copy !req
491. Oh, yes, you are.Copy !req
492. All showmen are snowmen.Copy !req
493. It's a wonderful place.Copy !req
494. Nobody on the aerio.Copy !req
495. Your future, Mr. Presley,
blazing before you.Copy !req
496. Recording contracts,
television, even Hollywood.Copy !req
497. You're great, Colonel.Copy !req
498. You are the best person
I could ever hope to work with.Copy !req
499. You know, this is something
I ain't neverCopy !req
500. said to nobody before...Copy !req
501. But I believe
I can be great, too.Copy !req
502. Oh, no doubt.Copy !req
503. But we could be
even greater together.Copy !req
504. But to achieve this, I need
to represent you exclusively.Copy !req
505. Exclusively?
Sir, I... I don't follow.Copy !req
506. What about Hank Snow?Copy !req
507. Hank. Yes...Copy !req
508. He sent me here to fire you.Copy !req
509. Hank wants you off the tour.Copy !req
510. So I will have to leave Hank.Copy !req
511. We will both have to
make sacrifices.Copy !req
512. We will need a record label
with national distribution.Copy !req
513. RCA?Copy !req
514. RCA.Copy !req
515. Sam Phillips... discovered me.Copy !req
516. I know, but we have a way
to help Sam understandCopy !req
517. that it would be foolish of him
to hold you back.Copy !req
518. Every man has his price.Copy !req
519. RCA does have
the distribution.Copy !req
520. I just need to know
that you'llCopy !req
521. still be with me as friends.Copy !req
522. Don't doubt that,
we're not going anywhere.Copy !req
523. Marion and I just don't want to
stand in your way, that's all.Copy !req
524. The world needs
to hear you sing, Elvis.Copy !req
525. Elvis Presley's
contract sold to RCA todayCopy !req
526. for the highest price
in music history.Copy !req
527. Quite the payday
for Sun Records.Copy !req
528. It's just business.
Show business.Copy !req
529. To achieve truly great things,Copy !req
530. one must make
truly great sacrifices.Copy !req
531. You will have to be free
of any entanglements.Copy !req
532. You see, my boy,
show business is snow business.Copy !req
533. And the fans need to believe
that you are always available.Copy !req
534. The Colonel says
that with all the publicityCopy !req
535. that's gonna be coming,Copy !req
536. he might have to
put it out there that...Copy !req
537. That...Copy !req
538. I don't have a girl.Copy !req
539. Then we will need
your parents' legal commitment.Copy !req
540. They may need a bit
of convincing themselves.Copy !req
541. Sam Phillips
is a good man we can trust.Copy !req
542. We don't know this Colonel
from a nail in a wall.Copy !req
543. Is there a lawyer
representing the family?Copy !req
544. Oh, unnecessary.Copy !req
545. I am of the firm opinionCopy !req
546. that family is the most
important thing in the world.Copy !req
547. In mind of that,
I have taken the libertyCopy !req
548. of making these contracts outCopy !req
549. in the name
of Elvis Presley Enterprises.Copy !req
550. A family business.Copy !req
551. And I was thinking,
Vernon -Copy !req
552. Business Manager.Copy !req
553. What do you think,
Daddy?Copy !req
554. Uh... Well, uh...Copy !req
555. - I like it very much, son.
- Ah!Copy !req
556. Mrs. Presley,
your son has a unique gift.Copy !req
557. It's as though
he has the strengthCopy !req
558. of two men inside of him.Copy !req
559. You know, Colonel,
I would do anythingCopy !req
560. to make sure my mama and daddy
never have to liveCopy !req
561. in no poverty ever again.Copy !req
562. Mama, it's gonna turn out
so, so good.Copy !req
563. Mm.Copy !req
564. Colonel, I wasn't fooling
when I told those other kidsCopy !req
565. I was gonna buy 'em
a Cadillac one day.Copy !req
566. My boy, with me, you will
buy them two Cadillacs.Copy !req
567. Two?Copy !req
568. A hundred?Copy !req
569. - Two hundred.Copy !req
570. - A thousand.
- A million.Copy !req
571. An aeroplane.Copy !req
572. - How about a rocket ship?Copy !req
573. Well, maybe not a rocket ship.
My mama don't like me to fly.Copy !req
574. But me, I've always
wanted to fly. Fast.Copy !req
575. Faster than the speed of light
to the Rock of Eternity.Copy !req
576. What? To the Rock of Eternity?Copy !req
577. Captain Marvel, Jr.Copy !req
578. He's my favorite
comic book hero.Copy !req
579. He flies.Copy !req
580. Well, what about you,
Mr. Presley?Copy !req
581. Are you ready to fly?Copy !req
582. Yes, sir. I'm ready.Copy !req
583. Ready to fly.Copy !req
584. Uh, Mr. Presley,Copy !req
585. try not to move around
so much during the takes.Copy !req
586. If I can't move,
I can't sing.Copy !req
587. Well, since my baby left meCopy !req
588. Well, I found a new place
To dwellCopy !req
589. What is he doing?
We paid for this?Copy !req
590. It's down at the end of
Lonely Street at...Copy !req
591. It's a suicide song.Copy !req
592. Heartbreak HotelCopy !req
593. Them know-it-alls
said I'd backed the wrong horse.Copy !req
594. But my boy knew teenagers.Copy !req
595. And that first record
changed everything.Copy !req
596. Well, it's so very hard to have
To leave the one you loveCopy !req
597. And you get more lonely
With each passing dayCopy !req
598. It's so lonely just sitting
And dreaming of...Copy !req
599. In a few short months,Copy !req
600. Elvis Presley has popped
out of nowhere.Copy !req
601. Everywhere he goes,
he causes riots,Copy !req
602. mountains of press
and rivers of money.Copy !req
603. It's another
gold record for Elvis Presley.Copy !req
604. This one giving him his first
worldwide hit.Copy !req
605. Mrs. Presley, look!Copy !req
606. Come on, Mrs. Presley,
let me show you how to use this.Copy !req
607. Come on, hens! Come on, hens!
Come on!Copy !req
608. Come on! Outside!
Out of my house!Copy !req
609. Come on, this way!
Come on, babies!Copy !req
610. Dodger!Copy !req
611. - Go, Billy boy!
- Ya-hoo-hoo!Copy !req
612. I took
my boy's wigglingCopy !req
613. and put it in the movies.Copy !req
614. I took his name and face,Copy !req
615. and put it on all sorts of toysCopy !req
616. and knick-knacks,
and called it...Copy !req
617. "Merchandise."Copy !req
618. Your face on every
conceivable object,Copy !req
619. including teddy bear, perfume,
plaster busts...Copy !req
620. Of questionable likeness.Copy !req
621. "The Elvis Presley Game."Copy !req
622. Something so everyone
can show their love.Copy !req
623. Grandma Dodger,
what is that behind your ear?Copy !req
624. "I hate Elvis."Copy !req
625. Huh?Copy !req
626. Yes. I hate Elvis.Copy !req
627. In my way of thinking,
"I love Elvis,"Copy !req
628. that's an easy sell.Copy !req
629. Those who hate your son
will do soCopy !req
630. whether we profit
from it or not.Copy !req
631. After all, what is hate worth
if it's free?Copy !req
632. Oh, yeah. I get it.Copy !req
633. Snowman strikes again.Copy !req
634. Merchandise,
promotion. Diskin, what else do we have?Copy !req
635. - Necklaces.
- Necklaces.Copy !req
636. - Scarves.
- Oh, scarves. Yes...Copy !req
637. Mr. Presley
and Mr. King...Copy !req
638. regular peas in a pod,Copy !req
639. relieving me
of my finest threads.Copy !req
640. Must be some occasion.Copy !req
641. Mr. Lansky, it's Milton Berle.Copy !req
642. The whole of America'll
be watching.Copy !req
643. I don't watch television.Copy !req
644. So what's it gonna be?Copy !req
645. How you gonna
blow their wigs off?Copy !req
646. Well, the network
wants me to do a ballad.Copy !req
647. But I'm thinking about
cuttin' it up with "Hound Dog."Copy !req
648. Whoo!Copy !req
649. Elvis Presley, "Hound Dog,"
and Uncle Miltie.Copy !req
650. Strange things
are happening every day.Copy !req
651. You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog, hound dogCopy !req
652. Cryin' all the timeCopy !req
653. You ain't nothin'
but a hound dogCopy !req
654. Cryin' all the timeCopy !req
655. Well, you ain't never
Caught a rabbitCopy !req
656. And you ain't
no friend of mineCopy !req
657. When they said
You was high classedCopy !req
658. Well, that was just a lieCopy !req
659. Yeah, they said
You were high classedCopy !req
660. Behold, tomorrow,
all of AmericaCopy !req
661. will be talking
about Elvis Presley.Copy !req
662. My wiggling boy.Copy !req
663. Even as a little one,
he made me laugh so.Copy !req
664. He's so funny!Copy !req
665. You never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mineCopy !req
666. You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog, a hound dogCopy !req
667. Cryin' all the timeCopy !req
668. And, Senator,
for the next legCopy !req
669. of your racial integrity tour,Copy !req
670. we booked the Overton
Park Shell in Memphis.Copy !req
671. What are they laughing about?Copy !req
672. You ain't nothin'
But a hound dogCopy !req
673. Cryin' all the timeCopy !req
674. Who the hell is that?Copy !req
675. It's that boy from Memphis.Copy !req
676. Elvis Presley.Copy !req
677. Cryin' all the timeCopy !req
678. A white boy from Memphis,
moving like a goddamn—Copy !req
679. Is your heart filled with painCopy !req
680. Shall I come back...Copy !req
681. The obscenity and vulgarity
of this rock and roll musicCopy !req
682. is obviously a means by which
the white man and his childrenCopy !req
683. can be driven to the level
of the Negro.Copy !req
684. The colored folks have
been singing and playing itCopy !req
685. just like
I'm doing it now, man, more years than I know.Copy !req
686. Colonel Parker,
we called you in hereCopy !req
687. to talk about this act
of yours.Copy !req
688. A petition
has begun circulatingCopy !req
689. to bar Elvis Presley
from television.Copy !req
690. We've set up a committeeCopy !req
691. to keep an eye on this vulgar,
animalistic rock and roll bum.Copy !req
692. Your style
of gyrating while you singCopy !req
693. has been bitterly criticized...Copy !req
694. I don't feel I'm doing
anything wrong.Copy !req
695. We simply will not
advertise on any stationCopy !req
696. that puts this delinquent
on television.Copy !req
697. Colonel, you put an end
to your boy's animal behavior,Copy !req
698. or we will.Copy !req
699. Don't worry, Senator,
my boy does what he's told.Copy !req
700. Tell me, dearCopy !req
701. Are you lonesome tonight?Copy !req
702. "Elvis the Pelvis."Copy !req
703. That's one of the most childish
expressions I've ever heardCopy !req
704. coming from an adult.Copy !req
705. Is Mr. Allen gonna cancel me
from the show?Copy !req
706. Yes.Copy !req
707. Yes, he is.Copy !req
708. He is replacing you with one of
the country's greatest singers.Copy !req
709. Mario Lanza?Copy !req
710. Someone greater.Copy !req
711. The new Elvis Presley!Copy !req
712. Yeah, I snowed 'em!Copy !req
713. You just have to put on
one of these tails here,Copy !req
714. can sing the "Hound Dog,"Copy !req
715. and it's a light-hearted,
sophisticated family show.Copy !req
716. I can't move in one of these.Copy !req
717. And that is the point.Copy !req
718. Mr. Allen agreed only as longCopy !req
719. as there is no wiggling
of those hips.Copy !req
720. I can't figure it out. My own
mother approves of what I do.Copy !req
721. Mmm.Copy !req
722. You have read the papers,
my boy?Copy !req
723. Yeah, I read the papers.Copy !req
724. The papers say that I shot
my mother and smoke marijuana.Copy !req
725. Your movement's
in the style of a Black man,Copy !req
726. and you have broken
the segregation laws.Copy !req
727. So let's follow the plan.
It's a good plan.Copy !req
728. You do the Allen Show,
family style,Copy !req
729. and then tomorrow
we go back to Memphis andCopy !req
730. we snow them on the July 4th
Children's Charitable Concert.Copy !req
731. And we put this whole
unfortunate misstep behind us.Copy !req
732. Now, do you want
to go into politics?Copy !req
733. Or shall we stay
in show business?Copy !req
734. We want to do
a show the whole familyCopy !req
735. can watch and enjoy,
and we always do.Copy !req
736. And at this time, it gives me
extreme pleasure to introduceCopy !req
737. the new Elvis Presley!Copy !req
738. He used to be so hip.Copy !req
739. He looked so silly.Copy !req
740. I mean, he looked like a butler.Copy !req
741. I can't believe
he agreed to sing to a dog.Copy !req
742. - God damn it!Copy !req
743. He could've given us
some warning.Copy !req
744. I know how to do a skit,
I could've made it funny!Copy !req
745. The most stupid, embarrassing,
humiliating thing I ever did.Copy !req
746. Well, what the hell
do you want me to do about it?Copy !req
747. We're musicians!Copy !req
748. It's just embarrassing.Copy !req
749. Who does he think he is?Copy !req
750. She just went on
and on about the damn dog.Copy !req
751. And I said, "Neighbors
shouldn't speak like that."Copy !req
752. And then she said...Copy !req
753. I like the bit with the dog.Copy !req
754. It was the most embarrassing
performance of my life, Daddy.Copy !req
755. She wasn't the only one
who said it.Copy !req
756. - All the neighbors did.
- Oh, God.Copy !req
757. Those New York people
were using youCopy !req
758. to poke fun at the whole South.Copy !req
759. Getting a laugh out of putting
a hillbilly in a tailcoatCopy !req
760. - and singing to a dog.Copy !req
761. God damn it, Mama, it was
either that or I get canceled.Copy !req
762. Then that's it for television.Copy !req
763. Colonel says I'm running out
of states that I'm welcome in.Copy !req
764. And they don't pay
unless I can perform.Copy !req
765. So Colonel says I play the
charity concert tomorrow night,Copy !req
766. as the new family style,Copy !req
767. then everybody calms down
and we get back on track.Copy !req
768. Someone's got to think about
keeping a roof over our heads.Copy !req
769. Roof over our head?Copy !req
770. We've always managed to keep
a roof over our head, Vernon.Copy !req
771. Mama, Daddy is
business manager. It's his job.Copy !req
772. That's right.Copy !req
773. We was doing just fine
before that man came along.Copy !req
774. Colonel has got us all of this.Copy !req
775. I don't want all this!
You're unhappy!Copy !req
776. - I am not!Copy !req
777. You're losing yourself, Booby!Copy !req
778. Oh, hell, Mama, I—Copy !req
779. Satnin knows.Copy !req
780. The way you sing
and move...Copy !req
781. it's God-given.Copy !req
782. So there can't be nothing
wrong with it.Copy !req
783. Hey, I'm gonna ask cousin
about the movie.Copy !req
784. Hey, E.P., E.P.!Copy !req
785. Can we close down
the movie houseCopy !req
786. and watch Godzilla tonight?Copy !req
787. Don't tramp mud
in the house, Billy!Copy !req
788. But you said
we could watch the movie!Copy !req
789. Get out! Get out of my
goddamn house!Copy !req
790. - You said
you'd take us! -Tramping mud in my houseCopy !req
791. and doing my damn head in.Copy !req
792. Mama, you ain't never happy.Copy !req
793. No matter what I do,
no matter how much I give you,Copy !req
794. it ain't never enough.Copy !req
795. And, I wish you would not drink
so goddamn much.Copy !req
796. It's not good for you.Copy !req
797. Baby!Copy !req
798. - Put that back in the shed!
- Elvis, wait!Copy !req
799. Elvis! Elvis, come on!
Elvis!Copy !req
800. Here's Elvis Presley.Copy !req
801. This is

802. You can catch B.B. King tonight

818. Hey, listen, man.Copy !req
819. If you're sad

820. you're at the right place.Copy !req
821. If you're happy and you want
to be happy, guess what?Copy !req
822. You're at the right place.Copy !req
823. So just do me a favor...Copy !req
824. Let it all hang out.Copy !req

866. Big Red.Copy !req
867. Yeah, well, I can go where

868. and if they don't like it,
I can go someplace else.Copy !req
869. You've got to be
in control, man.Copy !req
870. You should have your own label,
like me.Copy !req
871. You don't do the business,
the business will do you.Copy !req
872. Man, I just leave all that
to the Colonel.Copy !req
873. So it's, um...Copy !req
874. It's his idea, this new Elvis?Copy !req
875. Listen, I don't get it, man.Copy !req
876. Cats buy your records
because they like what you do,Copy !req
877. not because you're dressed up
like some... like some butler.Copy !req
878. You really think those kids
want to see Elvis the butlerCopy !req
879. at the Russwood Park
gig tomorrow?Copy !req
880. Man, I ain't wearing no tails.Copy !req
881. I just...
gotta lay off the moves, is all.Copy !req
882. Colonel says if I don't,
they're gonna put me in jail.Copy !req
883. Come on, man.Copy !req
884. They're not gonna
put you in jail.Copy !req
885. They might put me in jail
for walking across the street,Copy !req
886. but you're a famous white boy.Copy !req
887. Too many people are making
too much money off of youCopy !req
888. to put you in jail.Copy !req
889. You think so?Copy !req
890. I know so.Copy !req
891. Colonel's a smart man.
There's gotta be another reason.Copy !req
892. Every day, yesCopy !req
893. There are strange things
Happening every dayCopy !req
894. Hey, Elvis, B.B.!
Give us a smile.Copy !req
895. Every dayCopy !req
896. You promised us
a new Elvis, Colonel.Copy !req
897. Yet, here he is with this
B.B. King at Club Handy,Copy !req
898. jiggling and wiggling
with Billy Ward, and here,Copy !req
899. on Colored Night

901. and we've found your records.Copy !req
902. "Unfit for military duty."Copy !req
903. "Acute psychopathic state."Copy !req
904. Well... I was pretending
to be crazy. I wanted out.Copy !req

920. What song are you going
to sing tonight?Copy !req
921. I've made no decision.Copy !req
922. I'll feel it.Copy !req

949. Cryin' all the timeCopy !req
950. at his
command, both civil and other,Copy !req
951. to maintain public order,
and prevent crime and riots.Copy !req
952. He can use those forces...Copy !req
953. to prevent the racial
integration of schools,Copy !req
954. if this is necessary, under the
police powers of that state...Copy !req
955. There's a lot of people
saying a lot of things.Copy !req
956. in fact, it is his duty...Copy !req
957. Of course you gotta listen
to the people that you love.Copy !req
958. and prevent
turmoil and strife within the state.Copy !req
959. But in the end,
you gotta listen to yourself.Copy !req
960. So I want you to know,

Mountain jackCopy !req

1005. Our friends at RCA

1006. He didn't listen
to me.Copy !req
1007. - Why?Copy !req
1008. Why didn't he listen to me?Copy !req
1009. I'm evilCopy !req
1010. Get my boy off that stage!Copy !req
1011. with meCopy !req
1012. Get your hands

1020. He's all right, come on.Copy !req
1021. - Elvis!
- Scotty, come on.Copy !req
1022. Let's go.Copy !req
1023. My dear boy
had chosen.Copy !req
1024. You, his audience, his fans.Copy !req
1025. He had no idea
what he had done to both of us.Copy !req
1026. We warned you, Colonel.Copy !req
1027. You've lost control
of this act of yours.Copy !req
1028. And he's dividing this nation.Copy !req
1029. There are a lot of people
who want to see him in jail.Copy !req
1030. I had to find
a way out.Copy !req
1031. A way to save him.Copy !req
1032. CrawfishCopy !req
1033. CrawfishCopy !req
1034. No. There's no way my baby's
going to Germany for two years.Copy !req
1035. It is either the army or jail.Copy !req
1036. There is something else.Copy !req
1037. Vernon, they are poking
into your background.Copy !req
1038. We don't have nothin'
to be ashamed of!Copy !req
1039. Now, my daddy is a good man.Copy !req
1040. Yes, yes.
But your papa did go to jail.Copy !req
1041. You know them,
and their flashy headlines.Copy !req
1042. "Elvis, The Draft Dodger."
"A Family of Delinquents."Copy !req
1043. There was no moonCopy !req
1044. We may never
book another date, or sell another record again.Copy !req
1045. And my way of thinking,Copy !req
1046. the army could be
a brand new start for all of us.Copy !req
1047. Let them cut your hair.Copy !req
1048. Prove to the world that you are
a clean-cut, all-American boy.Copy !req
1049. You do your two years, and when
you come back, I promise youCopy !req
1050. I will have done
everything I canCopy !req
1051. to make you the biggest
actor in Hollywood.Copy !req
1052. You will choose
your own pictures.Copy !req
1053. - It's gonna be okay, Mama.Copy !req
1054. And I pulled Mr. Crawfish
out of his holeCopy !req
1055. Young Mr. Presley, a rock and roller no more.Copy !req
1056. He'll do six months'
basic training at Fort ChaffeeCopy !req
1057. before shipping off to Germany.Copy !req
1058. Since the day
he was born,Copy !req
1059. she had feared
losing her second son.Copy !req
1060. While he was
in basic training...Copy !req
1061. she worried and drank...Copy !req
1062. Worried...Copy !req
1063. and drank.Copy !req
1064. Hey...Copy !req
1065. Alberta!Copy !req
1066. Oh, no...Copy !req
1067. No!Copy !req
1068. There are some fine folks
from the press waiting outside.Copy !req
1069. A few questions, pictures,
and they will leave us alone.Copy !req
1070. I can't get him to do anything.Copy !req
1071. He trusted her
like nobody else,Copy !req
1072. and now she's gone
and who does he have now?Copy !req
1073. Well...Copy !req
1074. He trusts you.Copy !req
1075. Can you talk to him?Copy !req
1076. Oh, no.Copy !req
1077. It's not my place...Copy !req
1078. Can you do it, Colonel?Copy !req
1079. We need your help now.Copy !req
1080. Your daddy is doing
the best he knows how,Copy !req
1081. but he is overwhelmed.Copy !req
1082. He needs your help out there.Copy !req
1083. I can't go out there.
I just wanna stay here forever.Copy !req
1084. - Oh, my boy.Copy !req
1085. No one could never
replace her.Copy !req
1086. But you listen to me.Copy !req
1087. From this moment on,
anything she would have done...Copy !req
1088. I will carry out, in her name.Copy !req
1089. When you are overseas,
I will stay here at home.Copy !req
1090. And I will work,
and I will worry.Copy !req
1091. Trust me.Copy !req
1092. Now, you go and you stand
by your papa.Copy !req
1093. You comfort him.Copy !req
1094. You comfort him.Copy !req
1095. Comfort your friends
and your family,Copy !req
1096. and even your fans. Hmm?Copy !req
1097. Because if you don't do that...Copy !req
1098. all that your mama
has sacrificed for youCopy !req
1099. will be for nothing.Copy !req
1100. No matter what happens,Copy !req
1101. you stay with me
through thick and thin, okay?Copy !req
1102. You're like a...
like a father to me.Copy !req
1103. I needed
to protect him.Copy !req
1104. Even from himself.Copy !req
1105. My plan, Elvis Presley
would returnCopy !req
1106. a clean-cut, all-American boy.Copy !req
1107. But...Copy !req
1108. I did not considerCopy !req
1109. the most dangerous thing
of all.Copy !req
1110. Love.Copy !req
1111. Priscilla,
the pretty teenage daughterCopy !req
1112. of a United States
Air Force officer.Copy !req
1113. And then he said to me...Copy !req
1114. "You know what, Priscilla?Copy !req
1115. You gotta listen to me,
sweetie,Copy !req
1116. because this guy, he's got
girls all over the world, okay?Copy !req
1117. He's got girls waiting
outside of his houseCopy !req
1118. and girls writing him
endless fan mail."Copy !req
1119. And then Mommy decides to pitch in and go,Copy !req
1120. "Ooh, what could he possibly
see in you, okay?Copy !req
1121. What do you two do
up there all night?"Copy !req
1122. - And—Copy !req
1123. And I just said, "Mom, Dad...Copy !req
1124. we talk and we listen
to music, okay? That's all."Copy !req
1125. And then they were going on
and on about that photo of youCopy !req
1126. and Natalie Wood riding around
on that bike in Memphis,Copy !req
1127. and...
and then what I said...Copy !req
1128. And I said this really calmly,
I said, "Listen, okay?Copy !req
1129. He's just really lonely.
And quite frankly, so am I."Copy !req
1130. And then
they didn't really know what to say after that,Copy !req
1131. so I went upstairs
and I went to bed.Copy !req
1132. Never met anyone like you.Copy !req
1133. Well, I hope not.Copy !req
1134. So... what
is Natalie Wood like?Copy !req
1135. She's nice, you know.Copy !req
1136. She's been writing me
about acting.Copy !req
1137. I've been asking her
stories about...Copy !req
1138. working with James Dean and...Copy !req
1139. God, I just hope to one day
be as good as him, you know?Copy !req
1140. Mmm.Copy !req
1141. Colonel's promised me
that when I get backCopy !req
1142. he's gonna set me up
in Hollywood to be a serious actor.Copy !req
1143. That's really what I dream of.Copy !req
1144. Hey, E.P., E.P.,
now, you promised the captainCopy !req
1145. that you'd get her home
by- 00.Copy !req
1146. Hey, Charlie.
What's that behind you?Copy !req
1147. What? No...Copy !req
1148. He don't boss me around.Copy !req
1149. You know, I think
if you dream it, you'll do it.Copy !req
1150. You do?Copy !req
1151. Yeah.Copy !req
1152. Shall I stay?Copy !req
1153. Would it be a sinCopy !req
1154. If I can't helpCopy !req
1155. Falling in love with you?Copy !req
1156. You no longer
want to sing in your films,Copy !req
1157. is that right?
You want to be a dramatic actor.Copy !req
1158. Well, sir, that's
my big ambition now.Copy !req
1159. It takes a lot of time,
a lot of experience.Copy !req
1160. He was
as good as Brando.Copy !req
1161. But you didn't want to see him
in movies where he didn't sing.Copy !req
1162. A little less conversationCopy !req
1163. A little more actionCopy !req
1164. All this aggravation
Ain't satisfactioning meCopy !req
1165. Thanks to me, his life
became one big Hollywood movie!Copy !req
1166. Starring Priscilla...Copy !req
1167. Bright light city

1168. Gonna set my soul on fireCopy !req
1169. And a cast
of his "buddies" and "cousins."Copy !req
1170. His Memphis Mafia.Copy !req
1171. So get those stakes
up higherCopy !req
1172. There's a thousand
pretty women Waitin' out thereCopy !req
1173. And they're all livin'
The devil may careCopy !req
1174. And I'm just the devil
With love to spare, soCopy !req
1175. Viva, Las VegasCopy !req
1176. There was that
fairytale wedding.Copy !req
1177. And the honeymoon
on Frank Sinatra's jet.Copy !req
1178. And introducing
Baby Lisa Marie.Copy !req
1179. I made him the highest paid
actor in Hollywood history.Copy !req
1180. We had a lot of fun!Copy !req
1181. But Elvis was a young man,Copy !req
1182. and of course,
he got distracted.Copy !req
1183. So we made them faster
and cheaper.Copy !req
1184. Beatlemania sweeps America,Copy !req
1185. as teens turn their attention
to the teenage rockers.Copy !req
1186. Is it my fault
the world changed?Copy !req
1187. Good evening.

in the Civil Rights movement,Copy !req
1189. has been shot to death
in Memphis, Tennessee.Copy !req
1190. New Elvis stinker

how hard I worked,Copy !req
1193. how many snow jobs
I came up with,Copy !req

1195. My boy loved to spend.Copy !req

around him,Copy !req

1198. With the sale of the ranch
and the horses,Copy !req
1199. that's gonna cover the payroll,Copy !req
1200. but as for the security
at Graceland...Copy !req
1201. Officers also reportedly chasedCopy !req
1202. and fired on
a radio-equipped carCopy !req
1203. containing two white men.Copy !req
1204. Dr. King was standing

1227. Made on the new Singer,
home knitting apparatus.Copy !req
1228. - Memphis is burning.

1231. dreaming
of a white Christmas,Copy !req
1232. because, oh,

1247. If you don't like it,
you can go back to Memphis.Copy !req
1248. Laugh it up, assholes.Copy !req
1249. What
a beautiful renditionCopy !req
1250. of "Here Comes Santa Claus"
that was,Copy !req
1251. with all the sparkle and magic
that the season brings.Copy !req
1252. And you'll be even warmer
this seasonCopy !req
1253. in a 12 gauge
cable-knit woolen sweater...Copy !req
1254. - Satnin?
- Hi.Copy !req
1255. made right at home
on the Singer Sewer SK155 home knitter.Copy !req
1256. And now, here's Elvis!Copy !req
1257. Can I watch the memorial
with you?Copy !req
1258. Yeah, baby.Copy !req
1259. I'm so tired of playing
Elvis Presley.Copy !req
1260. Too many people rely on me.Copy !req
1261. I love you.Copy !req
1262. And your daughter loves you.Copy !req
1263. We don't care about the money
or anything else.Copy !req
1264. We just want you to be happy.Copy !req
1265. Lord, hold my handCopy !req
1266. And don't let me fallCopy !req

you sing the music you love.Copy !req
1268. OhCopy !req
1269. Take my handCopy !req
1270. Mahalia Jackson.Copy !req
1271. I used to hear her sing
at East Street Church.Copy !req
1272. Got a feelin' in my bodyCopy !req
1273. That's the music
that makes me happy.Copy !req
1274. This will be our lucky dayCopy !req
1275. So when things are too
dangerous to say... sing!Copy !req
1276. When Moses walked the children
out of Egypt landCopy !req
1277. He said "Now don't you worry
we're in the lord's hands"Copy !req
1278. I got a feelin' in my bodyCopy !req
1279. This will be our lucky dayCopy !req
1280. We'll be released
from all our sorrowCopy !req
1281. Leave it layin' along the wayCopy !req
1282. You gotta meet these
Binder and Bones guys, E.P.Copy !req
1283. They're the ones
that put James Brown,Copy !req
1284. the Rolling Stones onstage.Copy !req
1285. They're doing some
cutting edge stuff.Copy !req
1286. Mr. Binder, Mr. Howe...
thanks for coming.Copy !req
1287. When I first came
to Hollywood, I'd come up hereCopy !req
1288. and sit for hours.Copy !req
1289. Right over there,
the observatory...Copy !req
1290. that's where they shot
Rebel Without a Cause.Copy !req
1291. Man, I used to dream of being
a great actor like Jimmy Dean.Copy !req
1292. This sign was beautiful then.Copy !req
1293. And now...Copy !req
1294. Feels as though lots of things
are like that these days.Copy !req
1295. Broke down, beat up.Copy !req
1296. Rotten.Copy !req
1297. I really like
what you guys did,Copy !req
1298. putting James Brown
and the Stones together.Copy !req
1299. We're, uh...
big fans of yours, too.Copy !req
1300. It's just that, Mr. Presley,
we don't usually—Copy !req
1301. Oh, Elvis.Copy !req
1302. Elvis, uh...Copy !req
1303. Christmas specials
aren't really our thing.Copy !req
1304. I know.Copy !req
1305. Tell me, honestly...Copy !req
1306. where do you boys
think my career's at right now?Copy !req
1307. Well, it's...Copy !req
1308. It's in the toilet, Elvis.Copy !req
1309. You hear that, Jerry?Copy !req
1310. Oh, Lord. I knew you were
the right guys for this job.Copy !req
1311. You know,
back when I was starting out,Copy !req
1312. some people wanted
to put me in jail,Copy !req
1313. even kill me,
'cause of the way I was moving.Copy !req
1314. So they cut my hair,Copy !req
1315. they put me in uniform
and they sent me away.Copy !req
1316. That killed my mother.Copy !req
1317. And ever since then...Copy !req
1318. I've been lost.Copy !req
1319. And when you're lost,
people take advantage.Copy !req
1320. I need you fellas to help me
get back to who I really am.Copy !req
1321. And who are you, Elvis?Copy !req
1322. I sure as hell ain't somebody
who sings Christmas songsCopy !req
1323. by a fireplace for an hour.Copy !req
1324. And what
does the Colonel think?Copy !req
1325. I don't give a damn
what the Colonel thinks.Copy !req
1326. For this television special,Copy !req
1327. we've got this Bindle fella,
number one hotshot director.Copy !req
1328. Elvis will be humoring him by
doing a few of his fresh ideas.Copy !req
1329. Ah, the sweater!Copy !req
1330. To Mr. Presley's
dressing room, please.Copy !req
1331. We are going to sing three
spectacular Christmas songsCopy !req
1332. - in that very sweater.Copy !req
1333. Now, when that sign lights up,
what do you do?Copy !req
1334. - Applause.Copy !req
1335. "Silent is the Night"
and "Deck the Halls,"Copy !req
1336. and, uh...
"Whose Child Is This?"Copy !req
1337. You think
we can do some gospel?Copy !req
1338. Well, if you want
to find yourself,Copy !req
1339. first thing you do is go home.Copy !req
1340. Metaphorically, you know.
Get back to who you really are.Copy !req
1341. And what is the boy that—Copy !req
1342. - Oh, "The Little Drummer Boy"?
- Yes, "The Little Drumming Boy."Copy !req
1343. Oh, the... with the...Copy !req
1344. We get your old band
back together.Copy !req
1345. But we are going to start with
"Here Comes Santa Claus,"Copy !req
1346. isn't that right, Mr. Bindle?Copy !req
1347. Uh, the Christmas specials
come later in the show.Copy !req
1348. Can you bring up two?Copy !req
1349. A leather jacket.
Raw, dirty.Copy !req
1350. Remember, ladies and gentlemen,
this is television, not radio,Copy !req
1351. so when that goes up
and you clap,Copy !req
1352. let's see it
on your faces as well.Copy !req
1353. But you need
an audience.Copy !req
1354. Audience?Copy !req
1355. - Bring it over to one.
- At any second now,Copy !req
1356. Elvis is gonna walk onto this
stage and perform just for you.Copy !req
1357. I ain't sang in front
of an audience in a long time.Copy !req
1358. That's my point.Copy !req
1359. Ladies and gentlemen,
here's Elvis Presley!Copy !req
1360. Well, since my baby left meCopy !req
1361. Well, I found a new place
To dwellCopy !req
1362. Well, it's down at the end

1364. Where I'll be
I'll be so lonely, babyCopy !req
1365. I'll be so lonelyCopy !req
1366. I'll be so lonely
I could dieCopy !req
1367. Well, the bellhop's tears

1368. And the desk clerk's
Dressed in blackCopy !req
1369. Well, they've been so long
On Lonely StreetCopy !req

But a hound dogCopy !req
1376. Snoopin' at my doorCopy !req
1377. You ain't nothin'

1387. Well, it's one for the money
Two for the showCopy !req
1388. Three to get ready
Now go, cat, goCopy !req
1389. But don't you
Step on my blue suede shoesCopy !req
1390. I do not know

1418. Well, I like a lot
of the new groups,Copy !req
1419. you know, the Beatles
and the Byrds, but,Copy !req
1420. a lot of it is basically—Copy !req
1421. rock and roll music
is basically, uh...Copy !req
1422. gospel or rhythm and blues.Copy !req
1423. Well, that's one thing about
this TV special that I'm doing,Copy !req
1424. they're gonna let me do
what I want to do.Copy !req
1425. Sing the music that I want.Copy !req
1426. Music that I love.Copy !req
1427. Music that makes me happy.Copy !req
1428. Those know-it-all

1481. that this nation is hurting.Copy !req
1482. It's lost. You know? It...Copy !req
1483. It needs a voice right now
to help it heal.Copy !req
1484. We have to say something.Copy !req
1485. You...Copy !req
1486. have to make
a statement, E.P.Copy !req
1487. Mr. Presley does not
make statements.Copy !req
1488. He sings
"Here Comes Santa Claus"Copy !req
1489. and wishes everyone,Copy !req
1490. "Merry Christmas
and good night."Copy !req
1491. Senator Kennedy's
press secretaryCopy !req
1492. was made roughly an hour
and a half ago.Copy !req
1493. Some five to ten minutes later,
the operation began.Copy !req
1494. The six-man team
of neurosurgeonsCopy !req
1495. probing for the bullet
that had lodgedCopy !req
1496. in Senator Kennedy's brain.Copy !req
1497. No report yet
as to how that operation...Copy !req
1498. Poor Mrs. Kennedy.Copy !req
1499. This tragedy...Copy !req
1500. A tragedy.Copy !req
1501. But it has nothing
to do with us.Copy !req
1502. The White House
has reacted to the shooting...Copy !req
1503. It has everything
to do with us.Copy !req
1504. No, I just do not thinkCopy !req
1505. we should be making speeches
about politics and religion.Copy !req
1506. Dr. King was shot
eight miles from GracelandCopy !req
1507. while I was out here
singing to turtles.Copy !req
1508. And now this, and all you can
think about is how manyCopy !req
1509. goddamn sweaters I can sell?Copy !req
1510. I am a promoter.
That is what I do.Copy !req
1511. And I'm Elvis Presley.
That's what I do.Copy !req
1512. Well, Mr. Bindle has really
gotten inside your headCopy !req
1513. with all of his hippie friends.Copy !req
1514. You actually think that
you singing your old songsCopy !req
1515. dressed in black leather,Copy !req
1516. sweating, mumbling incoherently
to the audienceCopy !req
1517. was a good show?Copy !req
1518. Colonel, I know when
I've excited an audience.Copy !req
1519. That was not a real audience,
my boy.Copy !req
1520. There was a sign
flashing "applaud,"Copy !req
1521. telling them
when to clap for you.Copy !req
1522. This entire jamboree
is an embarrassment.Copy !req
1523. You have embarrassed
the sponsors,Copy !req
1524. you have embarrassed yourself,Copy !req
1525. - you have embarrassed me.Copy !req
1526. Now, you can sing
whatever songsCopy !req
1527. you and Mr. Bindle choose
for 55 minutes,Copy !req
1528. but at the end of the show,
there will be a Christmas song.Copy !req
1529. Or else we will be sued.Copy !req
1530. No, you will be sued
for breach of contract,Copy !req
1531. because I will no longer be
the promoter of your career.Copy !req
1532. I will have to leave you.Copy !req
1533. Hmm.Copy !req
1534. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
1535. Now, I have convinced
our friendsCopy !req
1536. at Singer Sewing Machines
to come back tomorrowCopy !req
1537. for "Here Comes Santa Claus."Copy !req
1538. I will see you in the morning,
Mr. Presley.Copy !req
1539. Oh, and as I recall,Copy !req
1540. Dr. King said
rock and roll musicCopy !req
1541. contributed
to juvenile delinquency.Copy !req
1542. It would be wrong,Copy !req
1543. it would be self-deceptiveCopy !req
1544. to ignore the connectionCopy !req
1545. between that lawlessness
and hatredCopy !req
1546. and this act of violence.Copy !req
1547. It would be just as wrongCopy !req
1548. and just as self-deceptive
to conclude from this actCopy !req
1549. that our country
itself is sick,Copy !req
1550. that it's lost its balance,Copy !req
1551. that it's lost its sense
of direction,Copy !req
1552. even its common decency.Copy !req
1553. 200 million AmericansCopy !req
1554. did not strike down
Robert Kennedy last night,Copy !req
1555. any more than they struck downCopy !req
1556. President John F. Kennedy
in 1963,Copy !req
1557. or Dr. Martin Luther King
in April of this year.Copy !req
1558. My fellow citizens, we cannot,Copy !req
1559. we just must not tolerate
the swayCopy !req
1560. of violent men among us.Copy !req
1561. We must not permit men
that are filled with hate—Copy !req
1562. Here comes Santa ClausCopy !req
1563. Here comes Santa ClausCopy !req
1564. Right down Santa Claus...Copy !req
1565. We're pretty set for the number
tomorrow, right, E.P.?Copy !req
1566. It's pretty familiar territory,
right?Copy !req
1567. A reverend once told me...Copy !req
1568. "When things are too dangerous
to say...Copy !req
1569. sing."Copy !req
1570. There must be lights Burning brighter somewhereCopy !req
1571. Got to be birds
flying higherCopy !req
1572. In a sky more blueCopy !req
1573. Standing by.
We're seconds away, folks.Copy !req
1574. We're just waiting on upstairs.Copy !req
1575. We're gonna get a rehearsal
going very shortly.Copy !req
1576. Let's go, let's go, people!
First positions!Copy !req
1577. Here we go, from the top.Copy !req
1578. Mrs. Presley is quite
the homemaker, Priscilla is,Copy !req
1579. and I'm sure
she would love to haveCopy !req
1580. one of the SK551 machines
so she can knit Elvis's—Copy !req
1581. - They were in there all night.
- Doing what?Copy !req
1582. He's working on a new song.
He says he's singing it.Copy !req
1583. New song? Whoa, hey!Copy !req
1584. It's beginning to look
a lot like Christmas. Yes!Copy !req
1585. Gentlemen, take your seats.Copy !req
1586. Now, that's
a winter wonderland.Copy !req
1587. Mr. Bindle.Copy !req
1588. You and I are
on the same page at last.Copy !req
1589. Bring up the lights
on the sign.Copy !req
1590. Okay, yeah. Let's go.Copy !req
1591. Dancers, stop.
Dancers, stop. Stop!Copy !req
1592. Turn about. Turn about.Copy !req
1593. You've got to get some roll.
I got action on the right side.Copy !req
1594. Turn around. Come on,
through, through, through!Copy !req
1595. We're lost in a cloudCopy !req
1596. With too much rainCopy !req
1597. We're trapped in a worldCopy !req
1598. That's troubled with painCopy !req
1599. But as long as a man
Has the strength to dreamCopy !req
1600. He can redeem
his soul and flyCopy !req
1601. Deep in my heart
There's a trembling questionCopy !req
1602. Still, I am sure
That the answer'sCopy !req
1603. Answer's gonna come
somehowCopy !req
1604. Out there in the darkCopy !req
1605. There's a beckoning candle,
yeahCopy !req
1606. And while I can think
While I can talkCopy !req
1607. While I can stand
While I can walkCopy !req
1608. While I can dreamCopy !req
1609. Oh, please let my dreamCopy !req
1610. Come true, ohCopy !req
1611. Right nowCopy !req
1612. Let it come true right nowCopy !req
1613. Thank you. Good night.Copy !req
1614. I was always said,
when it came to music,Copy !req
1615. my boy knows best.Copy !req
1616. But the special was my idea.
It was a tremendous hit.Copy !req
1617. We was back on top.Copy !req
1618. But some people were
putting ideas into his headCopy !req
1619. that he didn't need me no more.Copy !req
1620. Whoo-hoo!Copy !req
1621. It's working.Copy !req
1622. London, Germany,
Japan...Copy !req
1623. Hulett here has got it
all lined up.Copy !req
1624. Air Presley's new wings.Copy !req
1625. You know, when you
play stadiums, it's like...Copy !req
1626. you do a week of shows
in just one night.Copy !req
1627. And when it's done,
you get on the plane...Copy !req
1628. You go where you want,
you play where you want,Copy !req
1629. and if they don't like it,
you go someplace else.Copy !req
1630. You know who told me that?
B.B. King.Copy !req
1631. Well, B.B. knows, man.Copy !req
1632. And the someplace else
you should be going is overseas.Copy !req
1633. I like that.Copy !req
1634. You know, I heard last year
alone, you had two offers.Copy !req
1635. Germany and Japan,Copy !req
1636. for a million bucks
for one night.Copy !req
1637. I mean, why the Colonel
would turn that down,Copy !req
1638. I have no idea, man.Copy !req
1639. Well, if you figure it out,
can you let us know?Copy !req
1640. Yeah.Copy !req
1641. Well, screw him.
You've got the plane now.Copy !req
1642. You should use it.Copy !req
1643. Yeah, come to Daddy.Copy !req
1644. Maybe we should call it
the "Lisa Marie."Copy !req
1645. That's a beautiful name.Copy !req
1646. Right?Copy !req
1647. Hit me. Hit me.Copy !req
1648. Mr. Parker, Mr. Kohn
would like to see you.Copy !req
1649. Colonel Parker. Hit me.Copy !req
1650. I can't, sorry.Copy !req
1651. You've run up
quite a tab, Colonel.Copy !req
1652. And we hear your boy's working
with new people.Copy !req
1653. You've lost your meal ticket.Copy !req
1654. It's time to settle up,Copy !req
1655. before we have
to make things...Copy !req
1656. Uncomfortable.Copy !req
1657. Well, before the army, we found
no record of you at all.Copy !req
1658. No passport, no residency.Copy !req
1659. You were never a colonel.
Never a Tom.Copy !req
1660. You weren't even a Parker.Copy !req
1661. Why did you flee Holland,
Andreas van Kuijk?Copy !req
1662. - I don't know whyCopy !req
1663. you can't just let
the lawyers take care of it.Copy !req
1664. I have to see him
in Vegas.Copy !req
1665. He's in the hospital.
It's the right thing to do.Copy !req
1666. - Yeah, well...
- He's frail right now.Copy !req
1667. - You know what he's like, baby.Copy !req
1668. - Hey! Watch it.Copy !req
1669. You know what he's like.
The second that you're near him,Copy !req
1670. you'll be under ten feet
of snow before you know what's happened.Copy !req
1671. My mind's made up.
Business is business.Copy !req
1672. He and I are done.Copy !req
1673. But I owe it to him
to tell him to his face.Copy !req
1674. Well, just make sure he
doesn't clip your wings, honey.Copy !req
1675. He won't!Copy !req
1676. I am gonna go
see him in Vegas.Copy !req
1677. I'm gonna look him in the eyes,
and I'm gonna tell him...Copy !req
1678. - Watch my hair.
- I'm gonna tell him...Copy !req
1679. - Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
1680. it's over.Copy !req
1681. You break it, you burn itCopy !req
1682. Drag it all aroundCopy !req
1683. You twist it and turn itCopy !req
1684. You cannot tear it downCopy !req
1685. 'Cause every minute,
every hour you'll be shakenCopy !req
1686. By the strength
and mighty power of my loveCopy !req
1687. Colonel doesn't want you
making a fuss.Copy !req
1688. - Colonel?
- Mmm?Copy !req
1689. Elvis is here.Copy !req
1690. Oh...Copy !req
1691. Oh. My boy.Copy !req
1692. Admiral. How are you?Copy !req
1693. Oh, my boy, I should have
come down to see you.Copy !req
1694. But I'm a little
laid up, you know.Copy !req
1695. You've just
had a heart attack.Copy !req
1696. You're not meant
to get out of bed.Copy !req
1697. Heart attack?
Colonel, you said your back—Copy !req
1698. My heart just stopped is all,
and I fell. It's—Copy !req
1699. I put my back out.Copy !req
1700. There you go.Copy !req
1701. It was all the excitement about
the Christmas special, you see.Copy !req
1702. I should never have worried,Copy !req
1703. because you came through
like you always do.Copy !req
1704. Nobody can sell "show"
to an audience like you.Copy !req
1705. I admit it. I was wrong.Copy !req
1706. Colonel, I—Copy !req
1707. I wanted to tell you in person.Copy !req
1708. Um...Copy !req
1709. As far as business
is concerned...Copy !req
1710. I think we need to go
our separate ways.Copy !req
1711. Well, you may be right.Copy !req
1712. Maybe it is time for me
to retire.Copy !req
1713. Oh, come on, Colonel,
quit snowin' me.Copy !req
1714. You ain't retiring.Copy !req
1715. I will miss the circus. I will.Copy !req
1716. But I cannot keep up
with these young fellas,Copy !req
1717. like your Mr. Hulett,Copy !req
1718. who wants to put together
a new showCopy !req
1719. for an international tour,Copy !req
1720. for you to play stadiums.Copy !req
1721. These international tours
are very, very expensive.Copy !req
1722. And the costs
cut into the artist's profits.Copy !req
1723. I worry that the financial riskCopy !req
1724. would put a strain
on your daddy.Copy !req
1725. But I cannot help but think,Copy !req
1726. as your former
technical advisorCopy !req
1727. and as an old friend,
what if...Copy !req
1728. the next Elvis Presley show
did not cost you a red cent?Copy !req
1729. I wonder if your daddy would
not like the sound of that.Copy !req
1730. The brand-new
International Hotel.Copy !req
1731. It's a mighty big stage.Copy !req
1732. The biggest in Las Vegas.Copy !req
1733. You could get lost
in a place like this.Copy !req
1734. My boy, you performed
that comeback specialCopy !req
1735. on a tiny square,
inside a studio,Copy !req
1736. and the fans loved it.Copy !req
1737. In a room this size,Copy !req
1738. you could give them
the greatest show on earth.Copy !req
1739. Nothing less
than Elvis Presley.Copy !req
1740. I've been experimenting
with a new, big sound.Copy !req
1741. Good. Good, my boy.Copy !req
1742. Because you can fill up
this entire stageCopy !req
1743. with every musical idea
that is inside that head.Copy !req
1744. No, it would cost.Copy !req
1745. Yes, that's the beauty of it.Copy !req
1746. You see, this here
International Hotel—Copy !req
1747. This International Hotel...Copy !req
1748. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
1749. needs a major drawing cardCopy !req
1750. to pull in all the rubes
and put it on the map.Copy !req
1751. So they will cover
all of the costsCopy !req
1752. of putting together your show.Copy !req
1753. And you just play here
for six weeks,Copy !req
1754. and then off you go,Copy !req
1755. to tour around the worldCopy !req
1756. with no financial risk
to Elvis Presley Enterprises.Copy !req
1757. None.Copy !req
1758. Well, goddamn.Copy !req
1759. - Snowman strikes again.
- Oh, yeah.Copy !req
1760. We're going to make it snow.
It will snow.Copy !req
1761. First of all,
we're gonna need the Sweet Inspirations.Copy !req
1762. Yeah, yeahCopy !req
1763. And the Imperials.Copy !req
1764. We're caught
in a trap I can't walk outCopy !req
1765. And a 30-piece orchestra.Copy !req
1766. You know,
the first thing that I ever recorded,Copy !req
1767. the very first thing,Copy !req
1768. was an old, uh, rhythm
and blues-type songCopy !req
1769. called "That's All Right,
Little Mama."Copy !req
1770. - And back then we only hadCopy !req
1771. two or three instruments
at the time.Copy !req
1772. But this ain't
no nostalgia show.Copy !req
1773. We're gonna do something
different.Copy !req
1774. I, uh...
I wanna try something new.Copy !req
1775. All right, Glen, you're gonna
start us off, okay?Copy !req
1776. Take the intro here.Copy !req
1777. All right, bring that
bass up, Jerry.Copy !req
1778. Keep playing.Copy !req
1779. Whoo!Copy !req

1789. - Oh!Copy !req
1790. Flames, man!Copy !req
1791. Flames are coming
out of that guitar.Copy !req
1792. I got that. Ronnie.Copy !req
1793. I'll get back to that.Copy !req
1794. Horns, you ready?Copy !req
1795. Ba-da-bom! Ba-da-bom!Copy !req
1796. Let's up the octave!Copy !req
1797. - Yeah! Goddamn!Copy !req
1798. All right, 'bones.
On a one, three, four...Copy !req
1799. Ronnie,

than the present.Copy !req
1834. But we hear Hulett has him
doing a world tour.Copy !req
1835. Well, well, well, uh,
I think Mr. PresleyCopy !req
1836. could be persuaded to make
the International his home,Copy !req
1837. provided he was paid
pretty well.Copy !req
1838. What did you have in mind?Copy !req
1839. I'd like to introduce to you
a couple of people tonight,Copy !req
1840. one of which being
my beautiful wife, Priscilla.Copy !req
1841. Would you stand up, honey?Copy !req
1842. For an attraction as tremendous
as Mr. Presley...Copy !req
1843. - We love you,
Priscilla! -Copy !req
1844. Also, this man over here,
I wouldn't be here without,Copy !req
1845. my manager of many years,

1866. Colonel, your sideshow

1943. I'd like to go to Europe.
I'd like to go to Japan.Copy !req
1944. I've never been
out of the country,Copy !req
1945. except in the service.Copy !req
1946. What are you lookin' at
back there?Copy !req
1947. Oh, Mr. Diskin.Copy !req
1948. Have we discussed
with Mr. Hulett,Copy !req
1949. pertaining
to the death threats?Copy !req
1950. The death threats?Copy !req
1951. Precisely. Death threats!Copy !req
1952. Down in LouisianaCopy !req
1953. Where the alligators
Grow so meanCopy !req
1954. Lived a girl that I swear
To the worldCopy !req
1955. Made the alligators
look tameCopy !req
1956. Polk salad AnnieCopy !req
1957. Colonel,
once we finish the season,Copy !req
1958. Elvis wants
to take the tour overseas.Copy !req
1959. Overseas? Have you thought
about security, Jerry?Copy !req
1960. Of course I have.Copy !req
1961. This is Elvis Presley,Copy !req
1962. the most famous man
on the planet.Copy !req
1963. Straight-razor totin' womanCopy !req
1964. Lord, have mercyCopy !req
1965. The crazies
in those countries...Copy !req
1966. They're a hundred times
more dangerous.Copy !req
1967. Am I the only one
who thinks about security?Copy !req
1968. Sock a little polk saladCopy !req
1969. You know I need itCopy !req
1970. There is nothing more important
than security!Copy !req
1971. Am I the only one who ever
thinks about Elvis' security!Copy !req
1972. Get him out of here!Copy !req
1973. Those guys
turned out to beCopy !req
1974. some over-excited fans
from Peru.Copy !req
1975. But the death threats
were real.Copy !req
1976. I'm going back on.Copy !req
1977. I'll rip his goddamn tongue out
by the roots.Copy !req
1978. It started
to take its toll.Copy !req
1979. Here at Baptist Memorial
Hospital in Midtown Memphis,Copy !req
1980. Elvis Presley has apparently
checked in to a private suite,Copy !req
1981. suffering from exhaustion.Copy !req
1982. A sign that Elvis
is in fact hereCopy !req
1983. is the aluminum foil
that covers his windows to deflect the sun.Copy !req
1984. Shock around the nation todayCopy !req
1985. as a free rock concert
at the Altamont SpeedwayCopy !req
1986. by English band
The Rolling Stones,Copy !req
1987. ended with four deaths.Copy !req
1988. One resulting from a stabbing,
allegedly committed...Copy !req
1989. Elvis,
Dr. Nick is here.Copy !req
1990. Such a lovely girl,
Ms. Tate.Copy !req
1991. What has happened to law
and order in this country?Copy !req
1992. Hippies and radicals,Copy !req
1993. threatening and killing
popular entertainers.Copy !req
1994. The IRA blowing up England?
Planes exploding in mid-air?Copy !req
1995. Has the world gone mad?Copy !req
1996. Hulett's security
is not what it needs to be.Copy !req
1997. And he knows it.Copy !req
1998. An international tour now
is out of the question.Copy !req
1999. What are you talking about,
Colonel?Copy !req
2000. I ain't gonna let these sons of
bitches push me off the stage.Copy !req
2001. Precisely.Copy !req
2002. You are not one of Hulett's
long-hair Zeppelins,Copy !req
2003. you are Elvis Presley.Copy !req
2004. You are beloved.Copy !req
2005. And I told him I have to
look Priscilla in the eye,Copy !req
2006. and I have to promise her
that little Lisa Marie's daddyCopy !req
2007. will be safe while
he's away from home.Copy !req
2008. We're taking the show
to the world, Colonel.Copy !req
2009. I ain't gonna disappoint
those fans.Copy !req
2010. Well...Copy !req
2011. If you want to book more dates,
we could do an American tour,Copy !req
2012. 15 cities in 15 days,Copy !req
2013. while Mr. Hulett
straightens out his security problems overseas.Copy !req
2014. I'd like that
very much, son.Copy !req
2015. How is that gonna be any safer?Copy !req
2016. Because staying
in this country,Copy !req
2017. I can handle every aspect
of security.Copy !req
2018. And then we go international?Copy !req
2019. Yeah, sure, around the world.
Wherever you want.Copy !req
2020. But in the meantime,
here in America,Copy !req
2021. we put on a great show.Copy !req
2022. And what will we do, Charlie?Copy !req
2023. And have a lot of fun.Copy !req
2024. Taking care of business.Copy !req
2025. Taking care of business.Copy !req
2026. I'll get guarantees
from every mayor.Copy !req
2027. We'll double
the police presence.Copy !req
2028. You'll have more security
than the President.Copy !req
2029. Lord Almighty
I feel my temperature risingCopy !req
2030. Higher, higher
It's burning through to my soulCopy !req
2031. Girl, girl, girl
You're gonna set me on fireCopy !req
2032. My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to goCopy !req
2033. And when
the show is done,Copy !req
2034. the boys will hustle you
to the motorcade.Copy !req
2035. Elvis has left the building.Copy !req
2036. Once you're in the air,
Dr. Nick will ensure your rest.Copy !req
2037. Burnin' loveCopy !req
2038. Land in the next city,
then we do it all again.Copy !req
2039. Fifteen times!Copy !req
2040. I'm just a hunk
A hunk of burning loveCopy !req
2041. I'm just a hunk
A hunk of burning loveCopy !req
2042. It was life
on the road, just like the old days.Copy !req
2043. We were making so much snow,
we did it again.Copy !req
2044. And again.Copy !req
2045. And again.Copy !req
2046. All in the safety
of the US of A.Copy !req
2047. Eventually, he lost interest
in going overseas.Copy !req
2048. Why would you?Copy !req
2049. But I still kept my promise.
I brought the world to him.Copy !req
2050. I invented the world's
first ever satellite concert.Copy !req
2051. 1.5 billion people in
one night, for a single artist.Copy !req
2052. Nothing like it before,
nothing like it since.Copy !req
2053. But it wasn't enough.Copy !req
2054. He was addicted to the love
he felt from you onstage.Copy !req
2055. Ordinary love
just didn't compare.Copy !req
2056. So, in the lonely moments
between shows,Copy !req
2057. he turned to them pills.Copy !req
2058. Priscilla, I want you to
do something for me, will you?Copy !req
2059. You give my baby girl
a big hug for me, okay?Copy !req
2060. The roar of the crowd.Copy !req
2061. The life on the road.Copy !req
2062. Calling home
to your loved ones, pretending nothing has changed,Copy !req
2063. when everything has.Copy !req
2064. - Lost.Copy !req
2065. What was that?Copy !req
2066. Ain't no one
gonna walk aroundCopy !req
2067. sayin' they killed
Elvis Presley.Copy !req
2068. - What did you say?
- Nothing, baby.Copy !req
2069. Dr. Martin Luther King has been shotCopy !req
2070. in downtown Memphis,
Tennessee...Copy !req
2071. Sharon Tate was the last to die.Copy !req
2072. Is that you, doll?Copy !req
2073. I'm leaving you,
and I'm taking Lisa with me.Copy !req
2074. Uh, 'Cilla, is this about
what happens on the road?Copy !req
2075. About the what?Copy !req
2076. Is this about what happens
on the road?Copy !req
2077. The girls? You think
I give a shit about the girlsCopy !req
2078. that you sneak in
through the side door?Copy !req
2079. No. I couldn't care less
about whoever it isCopy !req
2080. you sneak through
the side door.Copy !req
2081. It's about this, Elvis.Copy !req
2082. - And this.
- Hey. Whoa.Copy !req
2083. And these goddamn pills
those leechesCopy !req
2084. and has-beens feed
down your throat!Copy !req
2085. God damn it.Copy !req
2086. - Like you're strung out.
- Strung out?Copy !req
2087. Goddamn, I'm in the best
shape of my life.Copy !req
2088. Best shape of your life.Copy !req
2089. The only time you're happy
is when you're on that stage.Copy !req
2090. And in between that,
you're a ghost.Copy !req
2091. 'Cilla, I give you everything
you could want.Copy !req
2092. What I want is a husband.Copy !req
2093. I am your wife.
I am your wife!Copy !req
2094. And Lisa is your daughter.
She needs a father.Copy !req
2095. I am her father!Copy !req
2096. Do you remember the last timeCopy !req
2097. that we laughed together?Copy !req
2098. Do you remember the last time
that the three of usCopy !req
2099. sat down and had
dinner together?Copy !req
2100. You won't even make love
to me anymore.Copy !req
2101. I gift you my life, and I have
nothing left in me to give you.Copy !req
2102. Do you still love me?Copy !req
2103. When you're 40 and I'm 50,
we'll be back together.Copy !req
2104. You'll see.Copy !req
2105. I have to go.Copy !req
2106. Will you please stay?Copy !req
2107. I have to go. Okay?
If I stay, I'll never leave.Copy !req
2108. - Please...
- You have to let me go.Copy !req
2109. - Please, Priscilla.
- You have to let me go.Copy !req
2110. Fifty thousand
people gatheredCopy !req
2111. in New Orleans earlier today
to mourn the passingCopy !req
2112. of gospel legend,
Mahalia Jackson.Copy !req
2113. Will you
come to MississippiCopy !req
2114. and sing with us, Mr. Presley?Copy !req
2115. Why, B.B. King will be there.
Perhaps even the Rolling Stones.Copy !req
2116. I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson.Copy !req
2117. The Colonel, he...
he won't allow it.Copy !req
2118. You are a man,
Mr. Presley.Copy !req
2119. And a man don't
make up his own mindCopy !req
2120. about matters of conscience.Copy !req
2121. Come on, Diskin.
Elvis needs a challengeCopy !req
2122. to get back on track.Copy !req
2123. Why won't the Colonel
let him go overseas?Copy !req
2124. - Security, Jerry.
You know that. -Bullshit!Copy !req
2125. The Colonel's killing
his greatest asset without a reason.Copy !req
2126. So what is the reason?Copy !req
2127. Colonel always has his reasons.Copy !req
2128. I'm not at liberty to divulgeCopy !req
2129. personal information
about Mr. Parker.Copy !req
2130. - He lied.Copy !req
2131. There wasn't gonna be
an international tourCopy !req
2132. 'cause he can't leave
the country.Copy !req
2133. He's got no citizenship,
no official identity.Copy !req
2134. He doesn't exist.Copy !req
2135. There never was
a Colonel Tom Parker.Copy !req
2136. What are you
talking about, Jerry?Copy !req
2137. - Hey, whoa, whoa!Copy !req
2138. Get him
an ice bucket!Copy !req
2139. Colonel's a smart man.Copy !req
2140. There's got to be
another reason.Copy !req
2141. Come on, man!Copy !req
2142. I will
stay here at home,Copy !req
2143. and I will work
and I will worry.Copy !req
2144. I mean,
why the Colonel kept turning them down,Copy !req
2145. I have no idea, man.Copy !req
2146. Get out of the way!Copy !req
2147. Now, you listen to me.
The only thing that matters...Copy !req
2148. is that that man
gets up on that stage tonight.Copy !req
2149. If he was my son,
I'd put him in a hospital.Copy !req
2150. Well, of course, this is
a Presley Enterprises decision.Copy !req
2151. Vernon?Copy !req
2152. Well... um...Copy !req
2153. Well, what can you...Copy !req
2154. What can you do for him,
Dr. Nick?Copy !req
2155. His truth is marching onCopy !req
2156. His truth is marching onCopy !req
2157. Thank you. Thank you.Copy !req
2158. Now he's gonna ask the house
lights to be brought up,Copy !req
2159. 'cause we've been
looking at him.Copy !req
2160. He wants to look at us now.
He loves this.Copy !req
2161. I'd like to turn
the house lights up,Copy !req
2162. - ladies and gentlemen.
- Eh?Copy !req
2163. 'Cause now that you've seen me,
I'd like to take a look at you.Copy !req
2164. Oh, you're beautiful.
Thank you.Copy !req
2165. He'll mention the VIPs
that are here.Copy !req
2166. We've got some high-rollers
in here tonight.Copy !req
2167. Get ready for the spotlight.Copy !req
2168. Mr. International Hotel
himself.Copy !req
2169. - Thank you.
- Ah, there you go.Copy !req
2170. And right next to him,Copy !req
2171. is my so-called manager,
Colonel Tom Parker.Copy !req
2172. - There he is.
- Come on.Copy !req
2173. But I hear rumors
that Colonel is an alien.Copy !req
2174. Got here on my rocket ship.Copy !req
2175. Oh.Copy !req
2176. Somebody call the FBICopy !req
2177. and tell 'em that
he has abducted me,Copy !req
2178. that he has locked me
in this golden cage,Copy !req
2179. to keep me here forever
with you, ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req
2180. So I'm caught in a trapCopy !req
2181. I can't get outCopy !req
2182. 'Cause Colonel's got some
big debts, baby.Copy !req
2183. Excuse me.Copy !req
2184. Well, this is the last show
I'm ever playing here.Copy !req
2185. I'm gonna get on my jet plane,
the Lisa Marie...Copy !req
2186. It's named after my, uh...
my beautiful daughter.Copy !req
2187. And I'm gonna fly away.Copy !req
2188. No, no, no...Copy !req
2189. You know, I'm gonna fly away.Copy !req
2190. Stop the show.
Stop this show!Copy !req
2191. Come on,
get this curtain down.Copy !req
2192. Fuck the International.Copy !req
2193. Mr. Schilling, what the devil
is happening here?Copy !req
2194. And Las Vegas.Copy !req
2195. That's what
he wants to know.Copy !req
2196. Ain't no one
gonna stop me, man.Copy !req
2197. Oh! Security.Copy !req
2198. Security!Copy !req
2199. Security, security! Security!Copy !req
2200. 800 shows!Copy !req
2201. You don't have
a goddamn passport, you son of a bitch!Copy !req
2202. You are fired!Copy !req
2203. You are fired!Copy !req
2204. You're fired!Copy !req
2205. You're fired.Copy !req
2206. E., I—Copy !req
2207. Colonel, I gotta—
I'll talk him down.Copy !req
2208. This is Colonel Tom Parker.
I wish it to be knownCopy !req
2209. that Dr. Nick's services
are no longer required.Copy !req
2210. Thank you.Copy !req
2211. Hmm.Copy !req
2212. Well, Diskin...Copy !req
2213. if the boy wants to set out
on his own,Copy !req
2214. it's all right by me,
but Presley EnterprisesCopy !req
2215. is going to cough up
what it owes.Copy !req
2216. - Are you ready?
- Ready.Copy !req
2217. Gasoline for the first trip
to the Hayride...Copy !req
2218. one dollar and 25 cents.Copy !req
2219. Un-recouped promotional costsCopy !req
2220. pertaining to souvenir
calendars, $100.Copy !req
2221. Collectible trading cards,
$100.Copy !req
2222. Posters, flyers and programs,
$100.Copy !req
2223. Balloons, $50...Copy !req
2224. What's the hold-up?Copy !req
2225. Sorry, E.P. Your daddy
won't come down.Copy !req
2226. Daddy.Copy !req
2227. What is this?Copy !req
2228. Well, that is what we owe
the Colonel.Copy !req
2229. We're broke.Copy !req
2230. Daddy, I've been playing this
mausoleum for a hundred years.Copy !req
2231. How could we be broke?Copy !req
2232. You spend
so much money.Copy !req
2233. You know, you got the cars
and the girls and the clothes,Copy !req
2234. and all the...
you know, new airplane.Copy !req
2235. Daddy, you are
my business manager.Copy !req
2236. You're supposed
to be taking care of business.Copy !req
2237. I don't know what to tell you,
son, we're broke!Copy !req
2238. We're plain broke.Copy !req
2239. Gotta take the Colonel back.Copy !req
2240. I am not taking him back.Copy !req
2241. We're gonna lose Graceland.Copy !req
2242. I am not taking him back!Copy !req
2243. He takes everything from me.Copy !req
2244. He takes 50%
of everything that I make!Copy !req
2245. And now he wants
to take the homeCopy !req
2246. that we bought for Mama!Copy !req
2247. Listen to me, Daddy.Copy !req
2248. That old bastard
can sue if he wants,Copy !req
2249. but I am flying away.Copy !req
2250. With or without you.Copy !req
2251. Oh, you bloodsucking,
old vampire.Copy !req
2252. You bled me dry
and you still want more?Copy !req
2253. I'm not an uncaring man,
Mr. Presley.Copy !req
2254. Don't you "Mr. Presley" me,
you toad.Copy !req
2255. If you are so determined
to get out of our contract—Copy !req
2256. You're goddamn right
I want out.Copy !req
2257. Well, I will personally
loan you the moneyCopy !req
2258. that you owe
to Jamboree Attractions.Copy !req
2259. Yeah, you'll still have
your claws in me.Copy !req
2260. You'll still have me
working hereCopy !req
2261. like a goddamn slave
in a salt mine,Copy !req
2262. you phony, no-good
piece of trash!Copy !req
2263. I oughta shoot you in your fat,
goddamn face!Copy !req
2264. Who are you?Copy !req
2265. I am you. And you are me.Copy !req
2266. Cut the horseshit!Copy !req
2267. Everything I've ever known
about you has been a lie.Copy !req
2268. E.P., you all good?Copy !req
2269. My past is the least
of your problems, my boy.Copy !req
2270. Everyone else
you associate with lives from you, Mr. Presley.Copy !req
2271. Even Vernon.Copy !req
2272. That's right,
even your own daddyCopy !req
2273. has looked after himself
before he's looked after you.Copy !req
2274. Yes, I have lived
from you, too, but the difference isCopy !req
2275. you have also lived from me.Copy !req
2276. We have supported each other.
Because we shared a dream.Copy !req
2277. We are the same, you and I.Copy !req
2278. We are two odd,
lonely children, reaching for eternity.Copy !req
2279. Maybe you should fly away,
my boy.Copy !req
2280. Away from all of this.Copy !req
2281. But if you do choose
to leave...Copy !req
2282. then I, for one,
will be very lonely.Copy !req
2283. So would your father.Copy !req
2284. But I think you may
be lonely, too.Copy !req
2285. Oh, you see, my boy, the...Copy !req
2286. truth about
the Rock of Eternity...Copy !req
2287. It is forever
just beyond our reach.Copy !req
2288. Do the chairs in your parlorCopy !req
2289. Seem empty and bare?Copy !req
2290. Do you gaze
at your doorstepCopy !req
2291. Picture me there?Copy !req
2292. Is your heart
filled with pain?Copy !req
2293. Shall I come back again?Copy !req
2294. Tell me, dearCopy !req
2295. Are you lonesome tonight?Copy !req
2296. Is your heart
filled with pain?Copy !req
2297. Shall I come back again?Copy !req
2298. Tell me, dearCopy !req
2299. Are you lonesome tonight?Copy !req
2300. Son, I know...
I know, I...Copy !req
2301. I wanna try and...Copy !req
2302. I wanna try and fix this.
You know...Copy !req
2303. Daddy...Copy !req
2304. Tell that son of a bitch...Copy !req
2305. I want things to go back
to the way they were.Copy !req
2306. And, Daddy...Copy !req
2307. Tell the Colonel
to send up Dr. Nick.Copy !req
2308. It's a beautiful day
in Las Vegas,Copy !req
2309. with lots going on
this weekend.Copy !req
2310. Those teen sensations,
The Jacksons,Copy !req
2311. are causing a lot of excitementCopy !req
2312. with their residency
at the MGM Grand.Copy !req
2313. And for the older crowd,
Elvis is back for a fifth year.Copy !req
2314. And don't we love him.Copy !req
2315. In Entertainment News today,Copy !req
2316. Elvis Presley is in talks to
play opposite Barbra StreisandCopy !req
2317. in a remake
of A Star is Born.Copy !req
2318. These days,
when he's not slurringCopy !req
2319. on stage in Vegas or playingCopy !req
2320. the same old
domestic concert circuit,Copy !req
2321. the singer spends weeks
at a time in his bedroom,Copy !req
2322. tormented by his
growing waistline.Copy !req
2323. Sounds like it won't be
much of a stretch for himCopy !req
2324. to play the role
of a washed-up singer.Copy !req
2325. Oh, look, here they come.Copy !req
2326. - Are you all right?
- Yep.Copy !req
2327. All right, Daddy loves you.Copy !req
2328. - Bye, baby.
- Come on, baby.Copy !req
2329. - Bye, Papa.
- Good girl.Copy !req
2330. - Bye, baby.
- Give me your hand.Copy !req
2331. Hi!Copy !req
2332. - Here she is.
- Hi, baby. How you doing?Copy !req
2333. Want to say goodbye to Daddy?Copy !req
2334. - Bye, Daddy.
- You're so good.Copy !req
2335. Hi. How are you?
How you doing?Copy !req
2336. We're okay.Copy !req
2337. Hey.Copy !req
2338. Hi.Copy !req
2339. Hmm.Copy !req
2340. How are you doing?Copy !req
2341. Honey, there's this place
in San DiegoCopy !req
2342. that you can go to rest.Copy !req
2343. To heal.Copy !req
2344. After the show, you can fly
directly and be in a clinicCopy !req
2345. before anyone knows.Copy !req
2346. It's all been arranged.Copy !req
2347. I'm gonna be 40 soon, 'Cilla.Copy !req
2348. Forty.Copy !req
2349. And nobody's gonna remember me.Copy !req
2350. I never did anything lasting.Copy !req
2351. I never made that classic film
that I could be proud of.Copy !req
2352. But what about A Star is Born?Copy !req
2353. Uh...Copy !req
2354. Barbra... the Colonel...Copy !req
2355. Please go.Copy !req
2356. For Lisa?Copy !req
2357. If you dream it,
you can do it, baby.Copy !req
2358. I'm all out of dreams.Copy !req
2359. Promise me.Copy !req
2360. I... will always... love you.Copy !req
2361. - Hi, baby.Copy !req
2362. Did you know
there's a kind of birdCopy !req
2363. that doesn't have any legs?Copy !req
2364. So it can't land on nothing.Copy !req
2365. It lives its whole life
on the wing.Copy !req
2366. When it gets tired,
it just spreads its wingsCopy !req
2367. and sleeps on the wind.Copy !req
2368. If it ever does land,
even but one time...Copy !req
2369. so it dies.Copy !req
2370. Good evening.Copy !req
2371. Elvis Presley died today.
He was 42.Copy !req
2372. Apparently,
it was a heart attack.Copy !req
2373. He was found in his home
in Memphis...Copy !req
2374. President Carter
has just made a statement...Copy !req
2375. Elvis Presley's deathCopy !req
2376. deprives our country
of a part of itself.Copy !req
2377. He was unique
and irreplaceable.Copy !req
2378. Thousands
of mourners have gatheredCopy !req
2379. outside the gates
of Graceland...Copy !req
2380. Using the styles
of white countryCopy !req
2381. and Black rhythm and blues,Copy !req
2382. permanently changed the face
of American popular culture.Copy !req
2383. The outpouring
of grief can be seen everywhere.Copy !req
2384. He was a symbol
to people the world over,Copy !req
2385. of the vitality,
rebelliousness...Copy !req
2386. What killed my boy?Copy !req
2387. Them doctors say
it was his heart.Copy !req
2388. Others, the pills.Copy !req
2389. Some say it was me.Copy !req
2390. No. I'll tell you
what killed him.Copy !req
2391. It was love.Copy !req
2392. His love for you.Copy !req
2393. You know, a few weeks
before he died,Copy !req
2394. I saw him sing
for the very last time.Copy !req
2395. He could barely stand up.Copy !req
2396. "Unchained Melody."Copy !req
2397. From an album called
Unchained Melody.Copy !req
2398. Makes a lot of sense. Okay.Copy !req
2399. But that night,
he sang as he always did.Copy !req
2400. With all his heart and soul.Copy !req
2401. How you like it so far?Copy !req
2402. That old voice
rang out,Copy !req
2403. - and he sang with all his life.Copy !req
2404. Oh, my loveCopy !req
2405. My darlingCopy !req
2406. I've hungered
for your touchCopy !req
2407. A long, lonely timeCopy !req
2408. Time goes byCopy !req
2409. So slowlyCopy !req
2410. And time can do so muchCopy !req
2411. Are youCopy !req
2412. Still mine?Copy !req
2413. I need your love, oohCopy !req
2414. I need your loveCopy !req
2415. God speed your loveCopy !req
2416. To meCopy !req
2417. Lonely rivers flow to the sea
To the seaCopy !req
2418. To the open arms of the seaCopy !req
2419. Lonely rivers cry
Wait for meCopy !req
2420. I'll be coming homeCopy !req
2421. Wait for meCopy !req
2422. My love, my darlingCopy !req
2423. I've hungered for your kissCopy !req
2424. A long, lonely timeCopy !req
2425. When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen,Copy !req
2426. I was a dreamer.
I read comic booksCopy !req
2427. and I was the hero
of the comic book.Copy !req
2428. I saw movies and I was
the hero in the movie.Copy !req
2429. So every dream
that I ever dreamedCopy !req
2430. has come true
a hundred times.Copy !req
2431. Are you still mine?Copy !req
2432. I need your love, oohCopy !req
2433. I learned very early
in life that...Copy !req
2434. "Without a song,
the day would never end,Copy !req
2435. without a song,
a man ain't got a friend,Copy !req
2436. without a song,
the road would never bend,Copy !req
2437. without a song."Copy !req
2438. So I keep singing a song.Copy !req
2439. To...Copy !req
2440. Ooh-hooCopy !req
