PAYMASTER: What will you do
with all that money?
11
00:01:49,192 --> 00:01:53,652
I'm gonna buy me a herd of chorus girls
and make them dance on my bed.
12
00:01:54,697 --> 00:01:56,817
BARTENDER: $95, $100...

[Mellow instrumental music

17
00:02:14,801 --> 00:02:18,801
Vince likes that kind of punishment.
Someday he's gonna learn.
18
00:02:28,857 --> 00:02:30,187
Okay, drinks are on me.
19
00:02:30,358 --> 00:02:33,608
Now, that's the kind of athletic contest
I appreciate.
20
00:02:35,363 --> 00:02:38,243
VINCE: I'll get you next week.
BARTENDER: You bet, Vince.
21
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,870
-Buy me a drink, cowboy?
-Huh?
22
00:02:44,038 --> 00:02:47,078
-You're buying, aren't you?
-Sure. Jake, draw one for the lady.
23
00:02:47,250 --> 00:02:51,420
-I'll take a shot, if you can afford it.
-I can afford it. One shot.
24
00:02:54,799 --> 00:02:57,509
I saw you here last week
cashing your check.
25
00:02:57,677 --> 00:03:00,547
-Yes, ma'am.
-You got nice hair.
26
00:03:01,681 --> 00:03:04,061
I get through work around 4:00.
27
00:03:04,225 --> 00:03:06,095
Why, you two-bit little tramp.
28
00:03:06,269 --> 00:03:07,559
Hey!
29
00:03:08,354 --> 00:03:11,364
She didn't mean anything.
I just bought a round for the house.
30
00:03:11,524 --> 00:03:13,444
-Keep out of this.
-She wasn't out of line.
31
00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:16,990
-I told you to keep your mouth out of this.
-Leave her alone.
32
00:03:17,655 --> 00:03:21,445
Look, buster, if you want
some teeth knocked out, just keep it up.
33
00:03:21,618 --> 00:03:24,408
You scare me.
Women-beaters always scare me.
34
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:29,075
Why don't you run along, sonny,
before I muss up your hair?

[Jukebox stops playing]
39
00:04:02,992 --> 00:04:04,952
Hey, kid, you can hit.
40
00:04:08,915 --> 00:04:11,955
Somebody call a doctor.
This guy's hurt bad.
41
00:04:17,799 --> 00:04:20,179
You've been found guilty
by a jury of your peers...
42
00:04:20,343 --> 00:04:21,843
of the crime of manslaughter.
43
00:04:22,011 --> 00:04:24,471
You're hereby remanded
to the custody of the Sheriff.

00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:26,849
You'll be transported
to the state penitentiary...
45

where you'll serve a term
of not less than one...
46
00:04:29,435 --> 00:04:32,015
nor more than 10 years of imprisonment.
47
00:04:35,149 --> 00:04:36,529
Court dismissed.
48
00:04:47,912 --> 00:04:49,502
Tough woodchuck, huh?
49
00:04:49,956 --> 00:04:53,206
Well, that's what we're here for,
to teach you hooligans.
50
00:04:53,376 --> 00:04:56,706
It says here you killed a man
with your bare hands.
51
00:04:56,879 --> 00:04:59,419
We don't use hands here, we use guns.
52
00:04:59,590 --> 00:05:03,550
I'll tell you another thing we use
for cons who don't toe the mark.
53
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,600
The whip. Understand?
54
00:05:06,222 --> 00:05:07,352
Yes.
55
00:05:07,515 --> 00:05:09,425
-Sir.
-Yes, sir.
56
00:05:13,604 --> 00:05:17,114
I'm putting you in with Hunk Houghton,
an old-timer.
57
00:05:19,610 --> 00:05:22,450
-All right, that's all.
-Thank you, sir.
58
00:05:36,085 --> 00:05:37,745
When do I finish my processing?
59
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,380
No hurry. You got plenty of time.
60
00:06:07,158 --> 00:06:11,038
Hang it up. Put it up where you got it.
61
00:06:11,579 --> 00:06:14,619
Sure. Didn't know
you were touchy about it.
62
00:06:15,833 --> 00:06:18,753
I live here. I'm touchy about everything.
63
00:06:20,338 --> 00:06:22,128
You're on my bunk.
64
00:06:32,850 --> 00:06:34,310
This okay?
65
00:06:36,354 --> 00:06:39,234
-My name's Vince Everett.
-You know my name.
66
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:41,109
Glad to know you.
67
00:06:44,570 --> 00:06:46,740
HUNK: You're not through processing?
VINCE: Not yet.
68
00:06:46,906 --> 00:06:49,276
HUNK: What about your haircut?
VINCE: What about it?
69
00:06:49,450 --> 00:06:51,660
You want a good one
or a fresh-fish special?
70
00:06:51,828 --> 00:06:54,998
-A fresh-fish--
-A fresh-fish special. They hack it up.
71
00:06:55,373 --> 00:06:57,673
A good one will cost you
three packs of cigarettes.
72
00:06:57,834 --> 00:06:59,544
I haven't got three packs.
73
00:06:59,710 --> 00:07:02,670
HUNK: You got any money?
VINCE: No, spent it all on my lawyer.
74
00:07:07,844 --> 00:07:10,644
I'll loan you three packs,
you pay back four.
75
00:07:11,764 --> 00:07:14,524
Kind of silly, saving up cigarettes like that.
76
00:07:19,230 --> 00:07:20,690
You'll learn.
77
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:42,170
[Vince chuckles]
78
00:07:42,462 --> 00:07:45,092
Okay, tell me about the cigarettes.
79
00:07:46,090 --> 00:07:47,880
I run a business, sonny.
80
00:07:48,050 --> 00:07:50,800
I'm what you might call
one of the top cons in this stir.
81
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:54,060
I got representatives in the tailor shop,
commissary, sick bay...
82
00:07:54,223 --> 00:07:56,353
kitchen, and shoe shop,
and they all work for me.
83
00:07:56,517 --> 00:07:57,977
You want a good haircut, I fix it.
84
00:07:58,144 --> 00:08:00,904
You want a good pair of shoes,
a nice-fitting shirt, ask me.
85
00:08:01,063 --> 00:08:03,233
Just like everything else,
you gotta pay for it.
86
00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:05,189
And this here is the coin of the realm.
87
00:08:05,359 --> 00:08:08,529
-Where do you get the cigarettes?
-Trade with guys who don't smoke.
88
00:08:08,696 --> 00:08:11,816
You buy, steal, cheat, fight,
just like you do for money outside.
89
00:08:11,991 --> 00:08:15,081
VINCE: I'm broke.
I'll never accumulate any cigarettes.
90
00:08:15,244 --> 00:08:18,334
The state pays you 18 cents a day.
That's a start.
91
00:08:18,915 --> 00:08:22,745
-You play ball with me and I'll stake you.
-That's real nice of you.
92
00:08:22,919 --> 00:08:25,879
I can't have my cellmate walking around
looking like a bum.
93
00:08:26,047 --> 00:08:28,917
I got a reputation to live up to.
Another thing is your job.
94
00:08:29,091 --> 00:08:30,761
-You been assigned yet?
-Not yet.
95
00:08:30,927 --> 00:08:35,427
You'll probably draw the coal yard.
New fish always do. It's hard and it's dirty.
96
00:08:35,598 --> 00:08:37,178
Maybe I can get you out of it.
97
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:39,770
I can get you assigned to the print shop,
where I am.
98
00:08:39,936 --> 00:08:41,556
For how many packs?
99
00:08:41,729 --> 00:08:44,399
Five cartons of cigarettes,
and I'll loan them to you.
100
00:08:44,565 --> 00:08:46,145
At what interest rate?
101
00:08:46,609 --> 00:08:48,279
You're learning fast.
102
00:08:48,945 --> 00:08:53,065
The interest rate won't be too high.
You just do what I say when I say it.
103
00:08:53,241 --> 00:08:55,661
That's the basis of my organization.
104
00:08:59,747 --> 00:09:00,957
No, thanks.
105
00:09:01,999 --> 00:09:05,089
-I'll take my chances.
-Suit yourself.
106
00:09:06,337 --> 00:09:09,837
-Thanks anyway, though.
-It's no skin off my behind.
107
00:09:19,976 --> 00:09:22,556
Hey, guard, how about a water call?
108
00:09:22,728 --> 00:09:25,978
GUARD: One water call every two hours.
You ought to know the rules now.
109
00:09:26,148 --> 00:09:28,858
SlMPSON: In this heat?
GUARD: Knock it off. Get back to work.
110
00:09:29,694 --> 00:09:31,864
That new warden, the jerk.
111
00:09:32,196 --> 00:09:35,816
Ever since he come here,
this can ain't fit to live in.
112
00:09:38,286 --> 00:09:40,656
SlMPSON: Hey, Hunk.
HUNK: I hear you calling.
113
00:09:40,830 --> 00:09:43,750
SlMPSON: What are we gonna do
about conditions? I've had a bellyful.
114
00:09:43,916 --> 00:09:47,626
I got less than a deuce to go. I'll sit here
and suffer my little heart out.
115
00:09:47,795 --> 00:09:50,085
SlMPSON: I'll something about it.
PRlSONER #1 : What a lousy dump!
116
00:09:50,756 --> 00:09:52,836
I'd better quiet those steers down.
117
00:09:53,009 --> 00:09:55,389
[Prisoners chattering angrily]
118
00:09:57,013 --> 00:09:58,723
SlMPSON: I'm gonna do something
about it.
119
00:09:58,889 --> 00:10:02,559
PRlSONER #1 : How about some cigarettes?
PRlSONER #2: I don't know....
120
00:10:03,603 --> 00:10:06,023
[Hunk singing sad country song]
121
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:18,720
SlMPSON: That's mighty pretty, Hunk.
Give us another.
122
00:11:18,886 --> 00:11:21,296
[Prisoners chattering loudly]
123
00:11:24,767 --> 00:11:26,727
HUNK: Thanks a lot, neighbors.
124
00:11:26,894 --> 00:11:29,854
HUNK: Appearing before you
has given me a big hunk of pleasure.
125
00:11:30,439 --> 00:11:34,609
I hope to be around picking and singing
for you again real soon.
126
00:11:35,236 --> 00:11:37,196
VINCE: Where did you learn
to sing like that?
127
00:11:37,363 --> 00:11:39,703
That used to be my trade, sonny buck.
128
00:11:40,783 --> 00:11:43,953
I was singing country music
before the words were invented.
129
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,370
I was on the stage with the best of them:
Eddy Arnold, Roy Acuff.
130
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:49,460
Did you make good money?
131
00:11:49,625 --> 00:11:53,665
I made two bills a week.
I was swimming in gravy in those days.
132
00:11:54,088 --> 00:11:56,338
Okay, get on with the sad part.
133
00:11:56,882 --> 00:11:59,052
A woman and a bank did it.
134
00:11:59,844 --> 00:12:03,604
She got used to bonded bourbon.
I robbed the bank.
135
00:12:03,973 --> 00:12:06,353
I thought you were making $200 a week.
136
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:09,685
Bookings got a little thin.
137
00:12:10,813 --> 00:12:12,943
You mean,
you made all that money just singing?
138
00:12:13,107 --> 00:12:14,227
HUNK: Why not?
139
00:12:17,945 --> 00:12:20,155
Mind if I horse around with it?
140
00:12:21,574 --> 00:12:23,664
Don't break any strings.
141
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:27,201
VINCE: I can sing better than you.
142
00:12:27,913 --> 00:12:29,333
Naturally.
143
00:12:30,124 --> 00:12:33,384
I used to have an uncle
that had one of these things.
144
00:12:33,544 --> 00:12:35,464
I fooled around with it some.
145
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:36,960
Here's one of his songs.
146
00:12:38,716 --> 00:12:41,336
[Vince singing slow romantic song]
147
00:13:07,119 --> 00:13:09,499
[Vince continues singing]
148
00:13:47,576 --> 00:13:50,196
[Prisoners banging vessels]
149
00:13:52,706 --> 00:13:54,326
Like my singing?
150
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:56,080
[Prisoners chattering]
151
00:13:56,252 --> 00:13:58,422
HUNK: You don't know
one thing about the guitar.
152
00:13:58,587 --> 00:13:59,917
The boarders liked it.
153
00:14:00,089 --> 00:14:02,969
They're what you might call
a captive audience.
154
00:14:03,133 --> 00:14:05,723
HUNK: Here, let me show you a few chords.
155
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,100
[Hunk strumming guitar]
156
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:17,397
That's a C major chord. That's a big one.
157
00:14:20,568 --> 00:14:22,148
Now try the G.
158
00:14:26,198 --> 00:14:28,488
[Hunk sighs in exasperation]
159
00:14:30,828 --> 00:14:35,118
You will never make a guitar player.
You got no rhythm in your bones.
160
00:14:35,291 --> 00:14:38,791
I never heard of anybody paying money
to hear a guitar player.
161
00:14:38,961 --> 00:14:41,001
Don't pay any attention to me.
162
00:14:41,171 --> 00:14:44,171
I was only in the business for 10 years,
that's all.
163
00:14:44,675 --> 00:14:46,965
I read you, loud and clear.
164
00:14:47,136 --> 00:14:48,386
Try it again.
165
00:14:59,982 --> 00:15:01,862
Vince, take a water break.
166
00:15:05,321 --> 00:15:08,031
Hey, screw, I'm gonna get some water.

00:28:39,843 --> 00:28:41,893
Can those guys play with me when I sing?
334
00:28:42,053 --> 00:28:46,393
-Sing? What do you mean, sing?
-Sing. You said I could start tonight.
335
00:28:47,183 --> 00:28:50,603
As bar boy. Mix setups, bring ice.
336
00:28:51,479 --> 00:28:53,359
Hunk told me you'd give me a job singing.
337
00:28:53,523 --> 00:28:56,363
SAM: What do you think I am,
a mental case?
338
00:28:56,985 --> 00:29:01,405
SAM: This place is no hobby, you know.
VINCE: All I want is a chance, Mr. Brewster.
339
00:29:02,031 --> 00:29:04,531
Look, kid, I'll save you some grief.
340
00:29:05,201 --> 00:29:08,621
So Hunk taught you
a couple of songs. Swell.

Be the life of the next party you go to.
342
00:29:11,249 --> 00:29:14,499
But we don't have "opportunity night" here.
343
00:29:17,589 --> 00:29:20,469
Do you want the job or don't you? Bar boy.
344
00:29:21,468 --> 00:29:23,638
I'll see you around, honey.
345
00:29:27,140 --> 00:29:30,310
Hunk Houghton.
That name sounds familiar.
346
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,440
He's an old country music singer.
I met him in the penitentiary.

I'm not a part of this show...
350
00:29:52,081 --> 00:29:54,631
so just don't encourage me
or pay me any mind at all.
351
00:29:54,793 --> 00:29:58,553
The man that owns this place thinks
I can't sing, so I gotta prove it to him.
352
00:29:58,713 --> 00:30:02,473
You just go ahead at whatever
you're doing. It won't take long.
353
00:30:02,884 --> 00:30:04,184
Let's do a chorus of "Young and Beautiful."

363
00:31:30,138 --> 00:31:31,558
-What?
-Me.
364
00:31:32,557 --> 00:31:35,137
That was quite a temper tantrum
back there.
365
00:31:35,310 --> 00:31:37,190
That creep had it coming.
366
00:31:37,437 --> 00:31:41,397
Look, why don't you
get me off the streets?
367
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:43,530
I'm bushed.

PEGGY: Do you always bust guitars
on talking customers?
372
00:32:01,836 --> 00:32:03,546
VINCE: I wasn't that bad.
373
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:08,223
Do you think so?
374
00:32:09,093 --> 00:32:11,683
I didn't think you were very good, Vince.
375
00:32:11,846 --> 00:32:15,426
-After listening to Mickey Alba all day--
-All right.
376
00:32:16,851 --> 00:32:20,061
You tell me. Why didn't they listen to you?
377
00:32:21,147 --> 00:32:24,567
I don't know.
I'm no worse than a lot of them.
378
00:32:25,485 --> 00:32:27,105
And no better.
379
00:32:28,029 --> 00:32:29,699
Okay, you're used to the top talent.
380
00:32:29,864 --> 00:32:32,994
VINCE: What are you wasting your time
working me over for?
381
00:32:33,618 --> 00:32:36,158
I like the way you swing a guitar.
382
00:32:40,041 --> 00:32:43,591
I guess I did get a lot of wrist action
into it, didn't I?
383
00:32:44,712 --> 00:32:46,632
That's all she wrote.
384
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:50,295
My musical career started and ended
with one song.
385
00:32:51,052 --> 00:32:52,802
I don't know why.
386
00:32:53,179 --> 00:32:55,719
Not until you've given yourself
every chance.
387
00:32:55,890 --> 00:32:59,020
But if they won't listen to me,
I can't hold a gun on them.
388
00:32:59,185 --> 00:33:01,225
Did you ever listen to yourself?
389
00:33:01,396 --> 00:33:03,896
How can I listen to myself
when I'm singing?
390
00:33:04,065 --> 00:33:05,975
PEGGY: Make a tape recording.
391
00:33:06,484 --> 00:33:10,364
PEGGY: Maybe when you hear yourself,
you can discover what's wrong.
392
00:33:12,073 --> 00:33:15,123
Sounds like a good idea.
How much does it cost?
393
00:33:15,576 --> 00:33:18,286
About $20 with a recording studio, I think.
394
00:33:20,415 --> 00:33:23,915
-I haven't got a guitar.
-I'll borrow one for you.

a couple of drinks.

It's a nice tune, though.
413

-It isn't that easy, Vince.
435

I'll meet you at that same restaurant

You might at least ask me
what happened this afternoon.

-What happened this afternoon?
-I sold your record, that's all.

Swell. I could tear into a good steak.
483
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,590
Would it hurt you just to say
that you're happy about it?
484
00:40:28,759 --> 00:40:29,929
It wouldn't be easy.
485
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:33,644
When the money starts rolling in,
then I'll say I'm happy.

and a nice meal...

with those altered chords, don't you?
531
00:43:16,260 --> 00:43:20,600
I agree. Brubeck and Desmond have gone
just as far with dissonance as I care to go.

01:04:04,382 --> 01:04:06,422
HUNK: I might get lucky like you, too.
828
01:04:08,302 --> 01:04:12,182
I tried your style, just like you taught me.
Boy, I laid a bomb.
829
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:14,100
But you ain't me.
830
01:04:15,309 --> 01:04:19,809
Look, boy, all I need is one good break,
and you can get it for me in that show.
831
01:04:21,399 --> 01:04:25,189
I guess I owe you that much,
but I don't know how it's gonna work out.
832
01:04:25,361 --> 01:04:27,241
You let me worry about that.
833
01:04:27,822 --> 01:04:29,242
Be a good boy.
834
01:04:32,201 --> 01:04:34,621
Ladies and gentlemen, a little while back...
835
01:04:34,787 --> 01:04:37,037
I had a kind of a vacation
with a bunch of men...
836
01:04:37,206 --> 01:04:38,786
in a big place away out yonder.
837
01:04:38,958 --> 01:04:40,788
While I was there...
838
01:04:41,210 --> 01:04:44,840
these men, kind of guests,
you might say....
839
01:04:45,131 --> 01:04:48,471
We'd get together, and horse around
a little bit, and sing...
840
01:04:49,510 --> 01:04:52,180
because we were having such a good time.
841
01:04:52,471 --> 01:04:55,971
We always had a lot of fun with this one.
The Jailhouse Rock.

Thank you, Mr. Everett. Very good, Jack...

missed their marks and we lost them.
846
01:08:01,202 --> 01:08:03,952
All right, we'll go right into
the hillbilly number.
847
01:08:04,121 --> 01:08:07,171
-What's his name? Houseman?
-Hunk Houghton.
848
01:08:08,918 --> 01:08:10,208
ENGINEER #1 : Okay, Mr. Houghton.
849
01:08:10,377 --> 01:08:12,837
ENGINEER #2: Okay, cut to four.
Dolly in and hold.

-Where'd he come from?
-Some pal of Everett's.
853
01:08:34,860 --> 01:08:36,490
Say, what is this?
854
01:08:36,737 --> 01:08:39,357
Don't blame me, Mr. Bardeman,
it wasn't my idea.
855
01:08:39,532 --> 01:08:41,282
He came as part of the Everett deal.
856
01:08:41,450 --> 01:08:44,040
I'm sorry.
Deal or no deal, he's off the show.
857
01:08:44,203 --> 01:08:45,453
[Hunk continues singing]
858
01:08:45,621 --> 01:08:48,161
Okay, Mr. Bardeman.
Everett might bellyache.
859
01:08:48,707 --> 01:08:51,787
Compared to the sponsor's pain,
his would be nothing.
860
01:08:52,336 --> 01:08:54,706
I wonder what he ever did for Everett.
861
01:08:55,506 --> 01:08:57,716
ENGINEER #1 : Freddie,
we're way over length.
862
01:08:57,883 --> 01:09:00,643
We're gonna have to trim
about four minutes. Tell you what.
863
01:09:00,803 --> 01:09:03,563
We'll go right from the "Jailhouse Rock"
to the film clip.

Cut the hillbilly number.
865
01:09:13,566 --> 01:09:17,066
I get calls and wires from
all over the world, but not little Peggy.
866
01:09:17,236 --> 01:09:20,906
VINCE: No, not little Peg.
I'll bet she didn't even tune me in tonight.
867
01:09:26,078 --> 01:09:29,158
Okay, baby, you wait for me to call you.
868
01:09:30,291 --> 01:09:34,591
Well, it'll be a cold day in....
Yeah, that's what it'll be.
869
01:09:38,174 --> 01:09:40,934

HUNK: It always has.
870
01:09:41,177 --> 01:09:44,427
-I warned you, but you wouldn't listen.
-Don't rub it in.
871
01:09:44,597 --> 01:09:47,177
And don't ask for pity. You taught me that.
872
01:09:47,349 --> 01:09:49,929
-Don't worry about me. I'll get along.
-How?
873
01:09:51,270 --> 01:09:53,100
One flop ain't a man's whole life.
874
01:09:53,272 --> 01:09:56,232
How'd you expect me to follow
that three-ring circus you put on?
875
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,440
You couldn't have followed a juggler.
876
01:09:58,611 --> 01:10:00,401
Naturally, I haven't got your talent.
877
01:10:00,571 --> 01:10:02,951
That's right, you haven't.
So what are you gonna do?
878
01:10:03,115 --> 01:10:05,775
I don't see
where that's any of your business.
879
01:10:06,368 --> 01:10:09,748
Look, Hunk, I'm gonna be honest with you.
880
01:10:10,956 --> 01:10:13,626
I'm not gonna put the brakes
on my career now.
881
01:10:13,792 --> 01:10:17,342
I don't want you as part of my troupe.
You're not good enough.
882
01:10:21,342 --> 01:10:23,262
It's been a long time, Hunk.
883
01:10:23,427 --> 01:10:26,717
Music changes every six months.
You gotta change with it.
884
01:10:31,852 --> 01:10:34,272
I was in show business
when you were in wet pants...
885
01:10:34,438 --> 01:10:36,808
and I'll be in it
when they can't remember your name.
886
01:10:36,982 --> 01:10:38,862
Fine, but not with me.
887
01:10:39,235 --> 01:10:42,855
-Aren't you forgetting something?
-I was wondering when you'd bring it up.
888
01:10:43,030 --> 01:10:46,030
Right down the middle, 50-50.
It's a legal contract.
889
01:10:46,784 --> 01:10:50,834
I put Mr. Shores on that contract.
It's not worth the ink it took to write it.
890
01:10:50,996 --> 01:10:53,536
You should have checked
with a lawyer, dad.
891
01:10:56,585 --> 01:11:00,375
I figured it was a contract in good faith
more than how legal it was.
892
01:11:00,547 --> 01:11:03,877
Is that what you figured, Hunk?
Is that what you figured?
893
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:08,260
Even after the fan mail you knew about
that I got in the can?
894
01:11:10,683 --> 01:11:12,433
A contract is a contract.
895
01:11:13,978 --> 01:11:15,138
Let's level.
896
01:11:16,355 --> 01:11:18,055
Okay, you did me a favor.
897
01:11:18,565 --> 01:11:21,855
You started me out in music,
and then you tried to rob me.
898
01:11:25,155 --> 01:11:28,825
But I ain't forgetting about the whipping
that you tried to buy me out of.
899
01:11:28,993 --> 01:11:30,543
So I'm gonna honor that contract...
900
01:11:30,703 --> 01:11:34,043
provided I don't hear any more of that jazz
about good faith.
901
01:11:34,206 --> 01:11:37,536
I'm gonna honor it, Hunk.
But not for no 50%.
902
01:11:39,545 --> 01:11:41,125
-How much?
-10%.
903

those airline reservations.
904

-10%?
-10%.

is liable to get lucky enough...
907

-to make $1 million a year.
-That's just what I intend to do.
908
01:11:59,606 --> 01:12:01,686
10% of $1 million is $100,000.
909
01:12:01,859 --> 01:12:04,989
There you go.
You were always good at arithmetic.

SHORES: After the television show,
the floodgates opened wide.
912

We had engagements in all the
best-paying recreation centers in America.
913
01:12:22,254 --> 01:12:23,964
Receipts doubled and redoubled.
914
01:12:24,131 --> 01:12:26,341
Our tax situation became acute.
915
01:12:26,967 --> 01:12:30,967
The record business was neglected
during this phase, much to my regret.
916
01:12:31,347 --> 01:12:33,507
However, my hands were tied.
917
01:12:33,682 --> 01:12:37,772
There seemed to be emotional difficulties
between the two principal stockholders.
918
01:12:37,936 --> 01:12:42,606
The 40% participant
refused to telephone the 60% partner.
919
01:12:44,068 --> 01:12:47,028
It was an impasse,
and highly unbusinesslike.
920
01:12:48,447 --> 01:12:51,907
Finally, there was only one phase
of the entertainment industry left...
921
01:12:52,076 --> 01:12:53,366
so we went there.
922
01:12:53,535 --> 01:12:57,035
We signed a non-exclusive contract
with Climax Studios.

you're concerned for her.

We talked to the surgeon,
and he thinks the operation was a success.
1151
01:32:03,684 --> 01:32:06,104
[Sentimental instrumental music]
1152
01:32:08,231 --> 01:32:12,821
Hunk told me what happened in the fight,
and the fact that you wouldn't hit him.
1153
01:32:15,947 --> 01:32:18,367
I think it was wonderful, Vince.
1154
01:32:19,825 --> 01:32:21,615
It was an act of true love.
1155
01:32:23,704 --> 01:32:24,914
Yes, it was.
1156
01:32:27,291 --> 01:32:31,501
Don't be afraid to love, Vince,
because I love you.
1157
01:32:31,921 --> 01:32:34,841
[Sentimental instrumental
music continues]
1158
01:32:51,357 --> 01:32:52,477
How does it look, doc?
1159
01:32:52,650 --> 01:32:56,320
Looks just like it did last week,
Mr. Everett. Completely healed.
1160
01:32:56,821 --> 01:32:58,201
Doesn't feel too good.
1161
01:32:58,364 --> 01:33:01,284
The injury is healed.
The surgery was successful.
1162
01:33:01,450 --> 01:33:03,660
Your larynx looks as good as it ever did.
1163
01:33:03,828 --> 01:33:06,118
Whether your voice
will sound like it did before...
1164
01:33:06,289 --> 01:33:08,119
can only be determined by trying it.
1165
01:33:08,291 --> 01:33:10,581
Sure. Try it.
1166
01:33:11,294 --> 01:33:13,424
Saying it is easy,
but what if it's not there?
1167
01:33:13,588 --> 01:33:14,918
Now, look, Mr. Everett...
1168
01:33:15,089 --> 01:33:18,169
these morbid fancies of yours
are doing you no good.
1169
01:33:18,342 --> 01:33:19,842
Unless you get hold of yourself...
1170
01:33:20,011 --> 01:33:22,511
you'll be a psychological mute,
musically speaking.
1171
01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:25,020
Give it a try.
You got to find out sometime.
1172
01:33:25,766 --> 01:33:27,426
I don't know, Peg.
1173
01:33:27,643 --> 01:33:29,853
Well, now is as good a time as any.
1174
01:33:31,606 --> 01:33:33,476
I got nobody to play for me.
1175
01:33:37,987 --> 01:33:39,487
PEGGY: Come on in, fellas.
1176
01:33:39,697 --> 01:33:41,947
[Band members chattering]
1177
01:33:42,116 --> 01:33:43,486
BAND MEMBER: Let's go to work.
1178
01:33:45,536 --> 01:33:48,656
Pretty big audience.
Give a man stage fright.
1179
01:33:48,998 --> 01:33:50,248
Now, Vince....
1180
01:33:53,294 --> 01:33:55,714
Okay. But just with the piano.
1181
01:33:56,422 --> 01:33:59,552
-The rest of you guys--
-We'll wait in the other room.
1182
01:34:00,885 --> 01:34:03,675
VINCE: Doc, you better stay here, okay?
DOCTOR: All right.
1183
01:34:06,057 --> 01:34:07,847
[Piano playing]
1184
01:34:18,194 --> 01:34:20,284
