Copy !req
3. 'His past is a mystery,
Copy !req
4. 'but his work
is already a legend.
Copy !req
5. 'He wrote and produced
his first gold record at 14.
Copy !req
6. 'In the years since then,
he has won so many others
Copy !req
7. 'that he once tried
to deposit them in Fort Knox.
Copy !req
8. 'He brought the blues to Britain.
Copy !req
9. 'He brought Liverpool
to America.
Copy !req
10. 'He brought folk and rock together.
Copy !req
11. 'His band, the Juicy Fruits,
Copy !req
12. 'single-handedly gave birth
to the nostalgia wave of the '70s.
Copy !req
13. 'Now he is looking for
the new sound of the spheres

Copy !req
24. To get the money he would have

love-giving hearts.
Copy !req
26. His well-publicised end
he considered would send
Copy !req
27. his memorial album
to the top of the charts.
Copy !req
28. - And it did!
- ♪ Do-aah...
Copy !req
29. When a young singer dies,
to our shock and surprise,
Copy !req
30. in a plane crash
or a flashy sports car,
Copy !req
31. he becomes quite well-known
and the kindness he's shown
Copy !req
32. has made more than one
post-mortem star.
Copy !req
33. And though it's hard
to applaud suicide,
Copy !req
34. you gave all you could give
so your sister could live.
Copy !req
35. All America's
choked up inside, man.
Copy !req
36. You know, it just seems like yesterday
I found Annette in that church choir.
Copy !req
37. I got her singing lessons.
I taught her how to dress.
Copy !req
38. I got her her first club job,
and I paid off a columnist.
Copy !req
39. He did a beautiful story on her.
Copy !req
40. I taught her who to be nice to, who to...
Copy !req
41. I fed her the drugs
to get her through the road tours.
Copy !req
42. I made her record a hit.
Then I sold her to you.
Copy !req
43. You made her the biggest thing in rock.
So now what does she do?
Copy !req
44. She fires us,
cancels her Vegas date,
Copy !req
45. and wants to give free concerts
for starving gook orphans.
Copy !req
46. She was more than a piece to me.
She was the light of my life.
Copy !req
47. And now she's gone.
Copy !req
48. 'There will be a 20-minute
intermission before the next show.'
Copy !req
49. We sued her.
We couldn't lose.
Copy !req
50. We had her
in an ironclad contract.
Copy !req
51. It was a lock. It was over.
It was closed.
Copy !req
52. I even bribed the judge.
Copy !req
53. He ruled against us. Said we couldn't
sign anyone to a life contract.
Copy !req
54. Said we were a disgrace
to the profession.
Copy !req
55. A disgrace, he said!
Copy !req
56. I was the one that made her
the money-grubbing whore that she was,
Copy !req
57. and he calls me a disgrace.
Copy !req
58. What do you want me to do?
Copy !req
59. Break her.
Copy !req
60. - Is that all?
- Isn't that enough?
Copy !req
61. Annette is nothing,
finished, washed up.
Copy !req
62. But she's at the top
of the charts.
Copy !req
63. That's today, Philbin, today.
Tomorrow she'll be forgotten.
Copy !req
64. Besides, we have more important
business, you and I - the Paradise.
Copy !req
65. I know, boss. We've looked everywhere.
You just don't seem to...
Copy !req
66. Listen.
Copy !req
67. What?
Copy !req
68. - That's it.
- What?
Copy !req
69. The music
to open the Paradise.
Copy !req
70. After all these years,
I've finally found it.
Copy !req
71. You want that creep
to open the Paradise?
Copy !req
72. No, not him.
The music. Listen to the music.
Copy !req
73. - What do I do with him?
Copy !req
74. You'll think of something.
Copy !req
75. - Mr Leach?
- Hello?
Copy !req
76. - Yeah. My name's Arnold Philbin.
- Hello.
Copy !req
77. Look, I scout talent for Swan,
Copy !req
78. and, uh, he's interested
in your stuff.
Copy !req
79. - The Swan?
- That's right.
Copy !req
80. - He said your sound could be real big.
- Did he really say that?
Copy !req
81. I was sitting right next to him.
Copy !req
82. If Mr Swan would produce my music,
the whole world would listen to me.
Copy !req
83. The game plan exactly.
Copy !req
84. But you need a lot of work,
a lot of polishing.
Copy !req
85. Oh, I know, Mr Philbin.
I... I have a long way to go.
Copy !req
86. Right. Now, do you have
any tapes of your stuff?
Copy !req
87. No, but it's all written down here.
Copy !req
88. Well, why don't you give us just two
or three of the really good up numbers...
Copy !req
89. Two or three up numbers?
You don't understand.
Copy !req
90. The scope of this cantata is 200 or 300
pages long, and I haven't finished yet.
Copy !req
91. Well, never mind the sonata.
We just want the songs.
Copy !req
92. It's not just songs.
It's more. It's much more.
Copy !req
93. I don't get you, kid.
Copy !req
94. Well, it's a whole series of songs
that tell the story of Faust.
Copy !req
95. - Who?
- Faust.
Copy !req
96. What label's he on?
Copy !req
97. Faust was a legendary German
magician who sold his soul to the devil
Copy !req
98. for worldly experience and power.
Copy !req
99. What is this, kid, school time?
I got a plane to catch.
Copy !req
100. Look, a song is a song.
You either dig it or you don't.
Copy !req
101. Now, I like your stuff, kid.
I think it's terrific.
Copy !req
102. - You know what?
- What?
Copy !req
103. I think the Juicy Fruits
are gonna dig it.
Copy !req
104. - The Juicy Fruits?
- I'm not promising anything. First...
Copy !req
105. I'm not gonna let my music be mutilated
by those grease balls!
Copy !req
106. I'm the only one
that can sing "Faust"!
Copy !req
107. Relax, kid.
It was just an idea.
Copy !req
108. Swan makes all these decisions,
you know?
Copy !req
109. I'm... I'm sorry. I...
Copy !req
110. It's just that I've worked
so hard on this thing.
Copy !req
111. Uh, it's OK, kid.
Copy !req
112. Boy, you sure got some temper.
Copy !req
113. I'm sorry. I don't know
what comes over me.
Copy !req
114. It's all right.
Just relax. Take it easy.
Copy !req
115. Why don't you give me the music,
Swan'll take a look at it on the plane,
Copy !req
116. and we'll get right back to you.
Copy !req
117. But if you ask me, I think
we're gonna produce your first album.
Copy !req
118. Really?
Copy !req
119. Hello.
I'm Winslow Leach.
Copy !req
120. Yes?
Copy !req
121. Mr Philbin said Mr Swan was gonna
call me about producing my first record.
Copy !req
122. Mr Philbin said he'd get right back to me.
That was a month ago.
Copy !req
123. One moment, please.
Copy !req
124. Taxi! Taxi, taxi!
Copy !req
125. Follow that car.
Copy !req
126. Well, I got it from Philbin,
to audition with.
Copy !req
127. Sing it again.
Copy !req
128. - Why?
- Go ahead, sing it.
Copy !req
129. That's incredible.
Copy !req
130. - How'd you know it went like that?
- I wrote the song.
Copy !req
131. If you wrote this stuff,
Copy !req
132. then why aren't you in there
with Swan auditioning the singers?
Copy !req
133. I don't know.
There must be some mix- up.
Copy !req
134. Oh, sure.
Copy !req
135. They must not know who you are.
Your name's not on the music.
Copy !req
136. Well, that's funny.
Swan heard me sing that song.
Copy !req
137. Why is he auditioning girls
for my cantata? I only sing it solo.
Copy !req
138. - Haven't you heard?
- What?
Copy !req
139. - He's opening the Paradise with it.
- You're kidding!
Copy !req
140. Do I look like a kidder?
Copy !req
141. He's opening the Paradise
with my cantata?
Copy !req
142. - Yes. Isn't that great?
- Gee, I wish he'd told me.
Copy !req
143. He's just auditioning girls
for a backup chorus.
Copy !req
144. But you're really a fine singer.
Copy !req
145. You shouldn't waste your time
singing in a chorus.
Copy !req
146. I don't care
where I sing this music.
Copy !req
147. Hey, look, could you help me?
Copy !req
148. I know I can sing these songs
better than anybody.
Copy !req
149. And with your help,
I'm sure I could get a part in the chorus.
Copy !req
150. Sure, I'd love to help you.
Copy !req
151. You're not just doing this
to be nice, are you?
Copy !req
152. I would never let my personal desires
influence my aesthetic judgment.
Copy !req
153. Wh... What's that mean?
Copy !req
154. - It means I think you're terrific.
- Do you?
Copy !req
155. Hey! All right,
let's everybody get in line.
Copy !req
156. Gotta quick it up a little bit.
Move in quietly.
Copy !req
157. One, two, three, four!
Copy !req
158. Come on, come on.
Five, six, seven, eight!
Copy !req
159. Oh, wait, wait.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
160. - Stop. What's that? A boyfriend?
- I'm Winslow Leach, the composer.
Copy !req
161. That's great.
But Swan's only seeing girls today.
Copy !req
162. - But I have to see him.
- Don't give me a hard time.
Copy !req
163. If you want to see Swan,
call and make an appointment.
Copy !req
164. - I did that, and they threw me out.
- Then they don't want to see you.
Copy !req
165. But I wrote the music.
Copy !req
166. Look, why don't you
just get out of here!
Copy !req
167. - Winslow, I'll tell him you're out here.
- OK. I'll wait for you.
Copy !req
168. Good luck.
Copy !req
169. Why won't he just let me sing?
Copy !req
170. - That was awful!
- What's the matter?
Copy !req
171. Philbin tried to... I just can't do it.
I came here to sing.
Copy !req
172. - That doesn't sound like an audition.
- Leave me alone!
Copy !req
173. Did you tell him who I am?
What's your name?
Copy !req
174. Hey, come here, buddy!
Copy !req
175. Do you guys know
where a good department store is?
Copy !req
176. Yeah. We'll take you.
We'll go right now.
Copy !req
177. When do we get to sing?
Copy !req
178. I don't think much singing
goes on around here.
Copy !req
179. I've been here 12 times
and I still don't get to sing.
Copy !req
180. I just get to come back.
Copy !req
181. - What do you do here?
- You'll see.
Copy !req
182. - Can't you sing on your back?
- I've never tried.
Copy !req
183. Well, if you can sing standing up,
you can sing lying down.
Copy !req
184. - Oh! Ah!
- Why don't you take your slip off?
Copy !req
185. No, I'm saving it for Swan.
Copy !req
186. He won't miss anything
if you do it now.
Copy !req
187. - You're being auditioned right now.
- What do you mean?
Copy !req
188. - The whole place is bugged.
- You're kidding.
Copy !req
189. No, Swan's watching us
right now.
Copy !req
190. - Come here.
- What are you doing?
Copy !req
191. - Swan likes to watch us.
- Watch us doing what?
Copy !req
192. - Doing each other.
- Really?
Copy !req
193. - That's how he gets turned on.
- Does he like blondes?
Copy !req
194. I like blondes.
Copy !req
195. Do you mind?
I hate to bother you,
Copy !req
196. but, that's right...
oh, just hold me close.
Copy !req
197. I just... Oh, I just need someone
to help me warm my voice up.
Copy !req
198. - Swan!
- Swan!
Copy !req
199. Oh, Mr Swan. You remember me.
I'm Winslow Leach.
Copy !req
200. - Swan! Swan!
Copy !req
201. Swan!
Copy !req
202. Over here, Swan.
Copy !req
203. Swan! Swan!
Copy !req
204. Oh, Swan! Swan!
Oh, Swan!
Copy !req
205. Get this fag out of here.
Copy !req
206. Mr Swan, it's me, Winslow.
Don't you remember?
Copy !req
207. I gave Mr Philbin a copy
of my cantata... you know, "Faust".
Copy !req
208. You were supposed
to look at it and do it.
Copy !req
209. And you're auditioning girls
for my cantata!
Copy !req
210. I'm Winslow Leach!
I wrote it!
Copy !req
211. Hey, where are you going with me?
Hey, Swan!
Copy !req
212. - Oh, Swan.
- Telephone.
Copy !req
213. Hey! Hey!
Copy !req
214. - That's him!
- What do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
215. - Nothing.
- What are you, some kind of pervert?
Copy !req
216. No, sir. I'm, I'm...
I'm Winslow Leach, the composer.
Copy !req
217. What are you doing
outside the Swanage?
Copy !req
218. Listen, officers
you've gotta help me.
Copy !req
219. Mr Swan's got my music,
and he's pretending he doesn't know me.
Copy !req
220. He had me thrown out of the mansion
and beaten up.
Copy !req
221. Didn't want to buy
what you had to sell, did he?
Copy !req
222. He... He didn't say anything
about buying anything.
Copy !req
223. Hey, Jack, what's that
he got in his purse?
Copy !req
224. I don't know, Joe.
Why don't you take a look?
Copy !req
225. - I think I will.
- Mr Swan said he had it on him.
Copy !req
226. What do you know?
Smack, Jack.
Copy !req
227. Do you know what you could get
for pushing in this state?
Copy !req
228. Life!
Copy !req
229. But I'm innocent!
Swan stole my music and framed me!
Copy !req
230. One, two, three, four!
One, two, three, four!
Copy !req
231. Welcome to Sing Sing.
Copy !req
232. We are very fortunate
to be included here
Copy !req
233. in the Dental Health
Research Programme.
Copy !req
234. This is a volunteer programme
funded by the Swan Foundation.
Copy !req
235. You are all volunteers.
Copy !req
236. All your teeth will be pulled.
Copy !req
237. Teeth are a source of infection,
Copy !req
238. and it pays
to be on the safe side.
Copy !req
239. Sir, pardon me?
I'm not a volunteer.
Copy !req
240. I'm innocent. I don't want you
to take my teeth out.
Copy !req
241. Oh. How many men here
are innocent?
Copy !req
242. Raise your hands.
Copy !req
243. All innocent.
Copy !req
244. 'And good morning, everybody.
Copy !req
245. 'This is Windy Greg here on WCHT.
Copy !req
246. 'Well, Swan has another golden disc
to deposit in Fort Knox.
Copy !req
247. 'His fabulous group,
the Juicy Fruits, on the Death label,
Copy !req
248. 'has taken the charts by storm.
Copy !req
249. 'And get this, kids. Friday night,
you can see the Juicy Fruits live
Copy !req
250. 'at the grand opening
of the Paradise.
Copy !req
251. 'That's right. Swan's rock palace
is scheduled to open at last,
Copy !req
252. 'and with this dynamite sound.
Copy !req
253. 'So let's hear it again.
The Juicy Fruits singing Swan's "Faust".'
Copy !req
254. Never!
Copy !req
255. Never!
Copy !req
256. Hey, get away
from that record press!
Copy !req
257. OK, let's move this ladder.
Copy !req
258. What's that?
Copy !req
259. I take the tyre and I shove it
right in his mouth.
Copy !req
260. Then he really gets mad at me,
you know?
Copy !req
261. - Look.
Copy !req
262. All right, this is the last time
we're gonna go through it.
Copy !req
263. You see Swan up there?
He's listening.
Copy !req
264. He's watching this whole thing,
so don't make me look bad again.
Copy !req
265. All right, watch the microphones.
Copy !req
266. I want to see
plenty of movement up there.
Copy !req
267. Harold, you leave her alone.
Put her down!
Copy !req
268. All right, come on, let's get going.
Will ya, please?
Copy !req
269. All right, look...
Copy !req
270. Carburettors, man.
Copy !req
271. That's what life is all about.
Copy !req
272. Come on,
let's get it going over here.
Copy !req
273. Come on, that's it.
Get the car over there.
Copy !req
274. All right, girls.
Just a second, Linda.
Copy !req
275. You got a very nice body and everything,
and you're wearing a bikini.
Copy !req
276. We wanna see some skin, Linda.
Copy !req
277. Hey, it's cold.
This is just a rehearsal.
Copy !req
278. - You're not getting paid to be clothed.
- Don't touch me, Philbin!
Copy !req
279. - Look, you wanna get paid?
- Yeah, I wanna get paid.
Copy !req
280. Get back on the car.
Copy !req
281. All right, come on,
let's move it out here.
Copy !req
282. That's it. Come on.
Let's get it on.
Copy !req
283. - Where do you think you're going?
- I gotta get out of here.
Copy !req
284. - What are you talking about?
- What sign are you?
Copy !req
285. - Leo. So what?
- You're OK.
Copy !req
286. - I gotta get out of here.
- Come on. Come with me.
Copy !req
287. I swear to God. You see Swan
sitting in that box up there?
Copy !req
288. - Yeah, right.
- Well, he doesn't show it or anything,
Copy !req
289. but right now he's thinking,
"Why isn't Harold in the car?"
Copy !req
290. Now, if he comes down here,
do you really want me to tell him
Copy !req
291. that it's not in the stars for you
to ride off the stage in this car, Harold?
Copy !req
292. No, Philbin,
I just don't feel good, man.
Copy !req
293. You're gonna feel a lot worse, Harold,
if you don't do what I tell ya.
Copy !req
294. I've got this headache,
and I hear this ticking...
Copy !req
295. Ticking?
Maybe something's loose up there.
Copy !req
296. No, there's something weird
round here.
Copy !req
297. Here, take one of these.
Copy !req
298. Do you have any water
I can take these with?
Copy !req
299. Just take the pills.
Come on, get it down.
Copy !req
300. - You feeling better?
- Yeah, I feel better now.
Copy !req
301. No more ticking?
All right, get out there.
Copy !req
302. All right, come on,
get this car out, let's go, come on!
Copy !req
303. All right, girls, I want big smiles now.
Look out at the audience.
Copy !req
304. - That's it. Big smiles!

Copy !req
305. - Why, Winslow, good to see you.
Copy !req
306. Been looking for you everywhere.
Copy !req

308. My God, you're horrible.
Don't rush off.

Look at yourself!
Copy !req
310. What's that horrible sound
you're making? Can't you talk?
Copy !req

Copy !req
312. You've destroyed your face,
your voice...
Copy !req
313. And now you're trying
to destroy the Paradise.

Copy !req
315. I can give you the power
to create again.
Copy !req
316. I can make you somebody.

336. I want you to answer
a question for me.
Copy !req
337. Yes?
Copy !req
338. What would you give me to sing?
Copy !req
339. Anything you wanted.
Copy !req
340. Anything?
Copy !req
341. Would you give me...
your voice?
Copy !req
342. Try me.
Copy !req
343. Filters.
Copy !req
344. Dolby's.
Copy !req
345. How's that? Try it.
Copy !req
346. Phoenix.
Copy !req
347. - Try it again.
- Phoenix.
Copy !req
348. - And again.
- Phoenix.
Copy !req
349. Well, at least you can talk with this.
Copy !req
350. You can plug yourself
into the console for singing.
Copy !req
351. You really think
she's that good?
Copy !req
352. She's too good for you.
Copy !req
353. I'll hire her anyway.
Copy !req
354. She could be my voice now.
Copy !req
355. - Oh, could she? Really?
- Yes.
Copy !req
356. Then let's get down
to business.
Copy !req
357. I want you to stop terrorising
the Paradise
Copy !req
358. and rewrite your cantata
for Phoenix.
Copy !req
359. That way we both get
what we want.
Copy !req
360. You get your cantata sung
by the right singer,
Copy !req
361. - and I open Paradise.
- Rewrite my cantata?
Copy !req
362. We have no time to waste.
Just one week.
Copy !req
363. You must lock yourself up in here
and do nothing but write.
Copy !req
364. I could write it for her.
Copy !req
365. Yes, it will be performed here live,
and Phoenix will star.
Copy !req
366. My cantata? For her?
Copy !req
367. I'll get fantastic musicians.
The hall has great acoustics.
Copy !req
368. I don't trust you, Swan.
You've ruined my music before.
Copy !req
369. Forget about the Juicy Fruits.
Copy !req
370. Who wants nostalgia anymore?
Copy !req
371. - I don't trust you.
- You don't have to.
Copy !req
372. Here's a contract.
Everything I've said and more is in it.
Copy !req
373. - I'll read it.
- At your leisure.
Copy !req
374. "Party of the first part gives the party
of the second part and his associates
Copy !req
375. "full power to do with him
at their pleasure,
Copy !req
376. "to rule, to send, to fetch,
or carry him or his,
Copy !req
377. "be it either body, soul,
flesh, blood or goods."
Copy !req
378. - What does that mean?
- That's a transportation clause.
Copy !req
379. "All art...
Copy !req
380. "All articles which are excluded
shall be deemed included."
Copy !req
381. What does that mean?
Copy !req
382. That's a clause
to protect yo u, Winslow.
Copy !req
383. Anyway, what difference
does it make?
Copy !req
384. What choice do you have?
Copy !req
385. I'll rewrite my cantata.
Copy !req
386. But you best play
what I write.
Copy !req
387. Ink isn't worth anything to me,
Winslow.
Copy !req
388. Now sign.
Copy !req
389. Excellent.
Copy !req
390. And now we're in business.
Copy !req
391. Together... forever.
Copy !req
392. 'I'll rewrite my cantata,
Copy !req
393. 'but you best play what I write.'
Copy !req
394. 'Ink isn't worth anything to me, Winslow.
Copy !req
395. 'Now sign.
Copy !req
396. 'Excellent.
Copy !req
397. 'Now we're in business
together... forever.'
Copy !req
398. I know, boss,
but I thought you liked her.
Copy !req
399. I do. She's perfect.
Copy !req
400. But you know how I abhor perfection
in anyone but myself.
Copy !req
401. Then Phoenix is out?
Copy !req
402. No, not out,
just a backup singer.
Copy !req
403. No, my cantata needs
something really... heavy.
Copy !req
404. - No, no.
- ♪ Or is there someone calling me
Copy !req
405. Wrong. Wrong again.
Copy !req
406. Pretty, but... no.
Copy !req
407. No.
Copy !req
408. There's something he'll like.
Copy !req
409. How come they get to shoot Swan
and we don't get to take any pictures?
Copy !req
410. Because they've got
exclusive rights to his life.
Copy !req
411. Where's he coming in from?
Copy !req
412. Transylvania.
My boss'll go anywhere for a new sound.
Copy !req
413. Remember,
no pictures of Swan!
Copy !req
414. Gentlemen, I want to tell you
of our latest work.
Copy !req
415. It's an opera.
A kind of pop cantata.
Copy !req
416. It was written
by the late Winslow Leach.
Copy !req
417. It tells the story of a young man
who sells his soul to the devil
Copy !req
418. to become a pop star.
Copy !req
419. It will be the first
rock version of "Faust".
Copy !req
420. We'll be recording at the Paradise,
uh, Friday night.
Copy !req
421. Live on the Death label.
Copy !req
422. - Mr Swan, Mr Swan...
- Mr Preiser.
Copy !req
423. Yeah, Mr Swan, who's gonna be
singing this - the Juicy Fruits?
Copy !req
424. No, no. They're a reflection
of the past.
Copy !req
425. Gentlemen,
I give you the future.
Copy !req
426. Beef.
Copy !req
427. Winslow.
Copy !req
428. - Winslow.
- What?
Copy !req
429. - Good morning.
- Hi.
Copy !req
430. - What day is it?
- Thursday. Today is Thursday.
Copy !req
431. - Breakfast.
- Ah.
Copy !req
432. A little pick-me-up.
Copy !req
433. Uh, how's it coming?
I don't mean to rush you, of course.
Copy !req
434. Don't worry.
It'll be finished.
Copy !req
435. How's Phoenix doing?
I can't wait to hear her sing.
Copy !req
436. Phoenix is doing beautifully.
Can't wait to meet you, by the way.
Copy !req
437. Tomorrow night's the big night.
Copy !req
438. Tomorrow night.
Copy !req
439. Man, you better get yourself
a castrato for this,
Copy !req
440. 'cause it's a little out of my range.
Copy !req
441. Something bothering you, Beef?
Copy !req
442. Swan, this was scored for a chick!
Copy !req
443. I'm not doing it in drag.
Copy !req
444. You can sing it
better than any bitch.
Copy !req
445. You don't know
how right you are, Goliath.
Copy !req
446. OK, boys.
From the bridge. Hit it.
Copy !req
447. - Who says I can't sing it?
- I like it. Keep working on it.
Copy !req
448. Drop an octave here,
change a line there.
Copy !req
449. Give it a beat.
Make it completely yours.
Copy !req
450. - Let's go.
- Far out.
Copy !req
451. Doesn't that
kind of change the whole thing?
Copy !req
452. You heard what he said.
Make it yours.
Copy !req
453. As long as it sounds good,
nobody's gonna care what it's about.
Copy !req
454. - Is that so?
- Nobody cares what anything's about.
Copy !req
455. - Is that right?
- Who the hell listens to lyrics anyway?
Copy !req
456. Dry up, tubbo.
Copy !req
457. Seal it now.
Copy !req
458. This creep gets no comps.
Copy !req
459. My music! Swan!
Copy !req
460. - What was that?
- What was what?
Copy !req
461. Oh, I knew I shouldn't be screwing
around with a dead man's music.
Copy !req
462. This place is... possessed.
Copy !req
463. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
464. You trying to tell me
you didn't hear that shriek?
Copy !req
465. That was something trying
to get out of its premature grave,
Copy !req
466. and I don't want to be here
when it does.
Copy !req
467. Opening night prima donnas.
Copy !req
468. Look, iron man, if you're so uptight,
take a shower and cool off.
Copy !req
469. My pleasure... bones.
Copy !req
470. Never sing my music again.
Not here, not anywhere.
Copy !req
471. Do you understand?
Never again.
Copy !req
472. My music is for Phoenix.
Only she can sing it.
Copy !req
473. - Anyone else that tries, dies.
Copy !req
474. All right, tickets.
Come on, let's see your tickets.
Copy !req
475. This is a ticket holders' line.
Everybody's got to have a ticket here.
Copy !req
476. Everybody have a ticket?
You, you got a ticket?
Copy !req
477. - Sure, I have a ticket.
- All right, get back in line.
Copy !req
478. Take care of the rest of this line.
Frank, open that gate.
Copy !req
479. Where the hell do you think
you're going, Tinkerbell?
Copy !req
480. Cincinnati,
to see my mother.
Copy !req
481. You're gonna miss the show.
Copy !req
482. - Ain't gonna be no show.
- What?
Copy !req
483. Listen, Philbin,
Copy !req
484. there really is a phantom.
Copy !req
485. He was just in my shower.
Copy !req
486. He threatened my life.
Copy !req
487. He said his music
is just for Phoenix.
Copy !req
488. Only she can sing it.
Copy !req
489. Anyone else who tries... dies.
Copy !req
490. What the hell
are you talking about?
Copy !req
491. Look, Philbin,
Copy !req
492. I am a professional.
Copy !req
493. I have been in this business
a long time.
Copy !req
494. Now, if I don't want to do a show,
it's not because I got stage fright.
Copy !req
495. It's because some creature from beyond
doesn't want me to do the show!
Copy !req
496. Now, gangway!
Copy !req
497. Bullshit.
Now, how did that really happen?
Copy !req
498. Can't you feel the vibes
in your own house?
Copy !req
499. Bad, sport. Real bad.
Copy !req
500. I mean, the karma's so thick
around here,
Copy !req
501. you need an Aqua-Lung to breathe.
Copy !req
502. - I know what it is.
- Oh, you do, huh?
Copy !req
503. - You wanna know what it is?
- Why don't you tell me what it is?
Copy !req
504. - Speed, that's what it is.
- Speed? What do you know about it?
Copy !req
505. You just pass the stuff out!
I take it!
Copy !req
506. I know drug real from real real!
Copy !req
507. Do me a favour and take this.
Copy !req
508. No! That'll bring me down.
Copy !req
509. Well, listen, my friend,
you better come down.
Copy !req
510. You better get yourself together.
Copy !req
511. You got a show to do.
This is opening night.
Copy !req
512. - Can you still sing?
Copy !req
513. Sure, I can still sing.
Copy !req
514. Help! The phantom! Help!
Copy !req
515. Somebody get
a fire extinguisher.
Copy !req
516. We want Beef! We want Beef!
Copy !req
517. We want Beef!
We want Beef!
Copy !req
518. Somebody get rid of him.
Copy !req
519. Phoenix, get out there and sing.
Copy !req
520. You're crazy.
Copy !req
521. Look, some maniac killed Beef
so you could sing.
Copy !req
522. Don't disappoint him, or else
there will be more bodies out there.
Copy !req
523. - Phoenix.
- Swan.
Copy !req
524. - Is Beef...
- Dead.
Copy !req
525. Let's not talk about that.
Let's talk about you.
Copy !req
526. I like your name.
We won't have to change it.
Copy !req
527. You're going to be a very big star,
Phoenix.
Copy !req
528. We'll finish the cantata tomorrow night.
We'll record. We'll go on tour.
Copy !req
529. And then...
Copy !req
530. There are no words to express
what you're going to become.
Copy !req
531. I'll do anything you want.
Copy !req
532. I owe you everything.
Copy !req
533. Just give me that crowd again.
Copy !req
534. Tomorrow night.
Tomorrow night they'll be yours.
Copy !req
535. Mine.
Copy !req
536. And all I want is your voice.
Copy !req
537. Is that all?
Copy !req
538. No. We'll go to Swanage
and celebrate.
Copy !req
539. I'll wait for you in the car.
Copy !req
540. Phoenix! Phoenix!
Copy !req
541. Phoenix! Phoenix!
Copy !req
542. Phoenix! Phoenix!
Copy !req
543. Phoenix!
Copy !req
544. Beef, Beef, Beef, Beef...
Copy !req
545. He wouldn't listen to me.
Copy !req
546. Where the hell is she?
Copy !req
547. Philbin, have you ever seen
such a crowd?
Copy !req
548. No, and I never
wanna see another one.
Copy !req
549. Look at them.
They've really been entertained.
Copy !req
550. They never want
the show to stop.
Copy !req
551. The Paradise is more magnificent
than I ever dreamed.
Copy !req
552. Sure. How often
is a rock star fried on stage?
Copy !req
553. Quite an attraction.
Copy !req
554. Don't hurt me.
Copy !req
555. I would never hurt you,
Phoenix.
Copy !req
556. You know me.
Copy !req
557. I'm Winslow. Remember?
Copy !req
558. - But Winslow's dead.
- No, not quite.
Copy !req
559. What do you mean? Who are you?
Why do you wear that mask?
Copy !req
560. Because Swan's taken my voice,
my music, and given me this!
Copy !req
561. And now he wants you.
But you're all I have left.
Copy !req
562. Phoenix, no one will sing
in this Paradise again.
Copy !req
563. No one's ever gonna sing
my "Faust" again - no one but you.
Copy !req
564. Phoenix, leave this place,
or I will destroy you too.
Copy !req
565. You're crazy.
Why should I go with you?
Copy !req
566. Don't you hear them down there?
Why should I give that up?
Copy !req
567. They want more now.
They want much more.
Copy !req
568. They want more than
you could ever give.
Copy !req
569. - I'll give them whatever they want.
- No, Phoenix!
Copy !req
570. Get your hands off me!
Copy !req
571. I'm telling you, with that freak
on the loose, the Paradise is finished.
Copy !req
572. The Paradise is just beginning.
Copy !req
573. Tomorrow night,
Phoenix will finish "Faust".
Copy !req
574. There she is.
Copy !req
575. The freak that killed Beef
is up on the roof.
Copy !req
576. Philbin, get the police.
Copy !req
577. Don't think about it.
Copy !req
578. Tonight is your night.
I won't have it ruined.
Copy !req
579. Swanage.
Copy !req
580. Winslow,
what a foolish thing to do.
Copy !req
581. Didn't you read
your contract closely?
Copy !req
582. See where it says "terms of agreement".
Can you read what it says?
Copy !req
583. "This contract
terminates with Swan."
Copy !req
584. No more suicides, Winslow.
Copy !req
585. You gave up your right to rest in peace
when you signed this contract.
Copy !req
586. What if you do find a loophole?
Is that what you're thinking? Forget it.
Copy !req
587. That stays sealed only as long
as I have the power to bind you.
Copy !req
588. If I'm destroyed,
that gaping wound opens.
Copy !req
589. You might say we terminate together.
Now get back to work.
Copy !req
590. I need a whole bunch
of new love songs for Phoenix.
Copy !req
591. And if you as much as say "boo"
to anyone at the Paradise,
Copy !req
592. you'll never see Phoenix again.
Copy !req
593. - No!
- Oh, yes.
Copy !req
594. - About the love songs, perhaps a duet.
- Never!
Copy !req
595. I'm under contract too.
Copy !req
596. Hey, Swan. Are we gonna get
to shoot pictures of you tonight?
Copy !req
597. What's this rumour you're gonna
wear a mask on stage?
Copy !req
598. Hey, how can we shoot you
if you got a mask on, man?
Copy !req
599. You can't, fools.
Copy !req
600. Philbin, it was genius
making the end of the opera a wedding.
Copy !req
601. You mean Faust, instead of
burning in hell, he gets the girl?
Copy !req
602. Yes. And you, Philbin,
will be the priest.
Copy !req
603. I ain't never been a priest before.
That's terrific.
Copy !req
604. Swan, you remember me,
don't you?
Copy !req
605. You do, don't you? Swan!
Copy !req
606. Do you know him?
Copy !req
607. Well, we went steady together
in high school.
Copy !req
608. You're kidding.
You're old enough to be his mother.
Copy !req
609. This was taken twenty years ago.
Copy !req
610. My God. He doesn't look
any different.
Copy !req
611. Saturday November 19th, 1953.
Copy !req
612. Today I have decided
to kill myself.
Copy !req
613. Being the greatest showman of my time,
Copy !req
614. I'm recording live for the Swan archives.
Copy !req
615. Why?
Copy !req
616. It's simple.
Copy !req
617. I'm getting old.
Copy !req
618. I can't bear it.
Copy !req
619. To see this beautiful face
ravaged by the forces of time.
Copy !req
620. If I can't be young forever,
Copy !req
621. I'd rather end it all now.
Copy !req
622. - Why not?
- What?
Copy !req
623. Stay young forever.
Copy !req
624. I'm real,
and I'll leave if you want.
Copy !req
625. But you did call me.
Copy !req
626. I didn't call anybody.
Copy !req
627. You said you wanted
to be young forever.
Copy !req
628. Well, here I am.
Copy !req
629. But I am stoned.
You're not real.
Copy !req
630. It really doesn't matter
what happens, does it?
Copy !req
631. What is going to happen?
Copy !req
632. For openers, you're going
to look like me forever.
Copy !req
633. Oh, this is too much.
Copy !req
634. I guess you're supposed
to be the devil.
Copy !req
635. I go by many names.
Copy !req
636. And you will make me
young forever?
Copy !req
637. This image will age in your place.
Copy !req
638. This picture gets old
instead of me?
Copy !req
639. Yes. And you must watch it every day
just to see how lucky you are.
Copy !req
640. I'm just crazy
about pictures of myself.
Copy !req
641. And the tape
from which the picture comes
Copy !req
642. must be guarded at all costs.
Copy !req
643. - Why?
- When it goes, you go.
Copy !req
644. - What do I have to do?
- It's all here.
Copy !req
645. Read it carefully
and then sign at the bottom in blood.
Copy !req
646. Blood? My blood?
Copy !req
647. Messy, I know. But it's the only way
I can bind you. Tradition.
Copy !req
648. What do you have to lose?
Copy !req
649. Nothing.
Copy !req
650. I was gonna use this
on my wrist.
Copy !req
651. Your soul's damned either way.
Copy !req
652. - What soul?
- Don't waste it.
Copy !req
653. Now sign.
Copy !req
654. Ink isn't worth
anything to me, Winslow. Now sign.
Copy !req
655. Just sign this,
and it will all be legal.
Copy !req
656. Till death do us part?
This is too much.
Copy !req
657. Come and sign.
Copy !req
658. You don't want to be late for your own
funeral... wedding, do you, girl?
Copy !req
659. Don't you think
we're rushing things a little?
Copy !req
660. - Oh, blood.
- Stop wasting it.
Copy !req
661. Sign your name.
Copy !req
662. P-H-O...
Copy !req
663. Remember. She must be hit just as
Philbin says, "till death do you part."
Copy !req
664. Wait a minute. This may be
none of my business or anything,
Copy !req
665. but if you're gonna kill her,
why do it here tonight?
Copy !req
666. An assassination live
on television coast to coast -
Copy !req
667. that's entertainment!
Copy !req
668. When it goes, you go.
Copy !req
669. Swan, Swan, Swan, Swan!
Copy !req
670. Do you, Phoenix, take Swan
Copy !req
671. to be your wedded husband
to have and to hold,
Copy !req
672. from this day forward
for richer, for poorer,
Copy !req
673. for better, for worse,
in sickness and in health?
Copy !req
674. I do.
Copy !req
675. And do you, Swan, take Phoenix
to be your wedded wife,
Copy !req
676. to have and to hold
from this day forward,
Copy !req
677. for better, for worse,
in sickness and in health till death...
Copy !req
678. Oh, my God. Your face,
what's happened to your face?
Copy !req
679. Winslow!
Copy !req
680. I don't understand.
Copy !req
681. Your voice, remember?
You promised me your voice.
Copy !req
682. Our contract, remember?
Copy !req
683. Winslow.
Copy !req
684. Winslow.
Copy !req
