[Sue Anne Continues] 356 00:23:36,982 --> 00:23:41,851 - Sam, you're turning the king of rock and roll into Donny and Marie! - Oh, Elvis, l... 357 00:23:46,324 --> 00:23:48,258 I love you, Elvis. 358 00:23:58,770 --> 00:24:04,731 According to Ziggy, the odds of the two of you getting a recording contract are a lousy 19-to-1. 359 00:24:04,810 --> 00:24:08,644 Al, news flash. Ziggy has been wrong before. Mmm. 360 00:24:08,713 --> 00:24:13,980 Right? Yeah, but in 1954, the world was just not ready for Sonny and Cher. 361 00:24:14,052 --> 00:24:17,351 As a matter of fact, the world was never ready for Sonny and Cher. 362 00:24:17,422 --> 00:24:21,358 Al, Sue Anne is special. I mean, there's something unique about her. 363 00:24:21,426 --> 00:24:24,520 I mean, she's innocent and-and-and vulnerable, and... Yeah, I know. 364 00:24:24,596 --> 00:24:27,929 Elvis has a soft spot for her, too, but the Hollywood publicists... 365 00:24:27,999 --> 00:24:31,400 did not want him to have a girl back home, so... 366 00:24:31,470 --> 00:24:35,634 So he forgot about her. I don't know if he forgot about her, but he never went back for her. 367 00:24:35,707 --> 00:24:39,108 So don't think what you're thinking. How do you know what I'm thinkin'? 368 00:24:39,177 --> 00:24:42,442 Because I know you. In three years, he's gonna meet Priscilla. 369 00:24:42,514 --> 00:24:45,711 They're gonna get married and have a baby. You don't want to jeopardize that. 370 00:24:45,784 --> 00:24:48,344 You don't want to jeopardize any of it. I don't know. 371 00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:52,447 I mean, what about what happened to Elvis later on, right? 372 00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:57,894 I mean, maybe ifhe'd been with Sue Anne, then things would've ended differently than they did. 373 00:24:57,963 --> 00:24:59,931 Presley! 374 00:24:59,998 --> 00:25:02,831 - Aw, great. - I need to have a few words with you, boy. 375 00:25:02,901 --> 00:25:08,066 How about, "Have a nice day"?

She doesn't belong to you. 381 00:25:26,157 --> 00:25:29,684 That a fact? That's a fact. Did you see her up there on that stage tonight? 382 00:25:29,761 --> 00:25:32,457 She's got talent. She has a delicate condition. 383 00:25:32,531 --> 00:25:36,058 Well, her condition seems just fine to me. 384 00:25:36,134 --> 00:25:39,399 [Groaning, Grunting] 385 00:25:46,144 --> 00:25:48,704 Good, Sam. 386 00:25:48,780 --> 00:25:51,305 Break it up!

What about the Pelvis? 399 00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,787 - How could the two of you gang up on him like that? - We didn't gang up on him. 400 00:26:36,861 --> 00:26:41,594 He started the whole fight. Red here was comin' to help me out. He started kickin' me. 401 00:26:41,666 --> 00:26:44,692 - Don't lie. I know what I saw.
