00:02:38,315 --> 00:02:39,683
How long is this gonna take?
3
00:02:40,851 --> 00:02:42,254
That's really up to you.
4
00:02:42,653 --> 00:02:43,988
Right, then.
5
00:02:46,191 --> 00:02:47,925
I know how this bit goes.
6
00:02:53,597 --> 00:02:56,567
My name is
Elton Hercules John...
7
00:03:03,340 --> 00:03:05,442
and I'm an alcoholic.
8
00:03:09,347 --> 00:03:10,814
And a cocaine addict.
9
00:03:14,352 --> 00:03:15,586
And a sex addict.
10
00:03:18,656 --> 00:03:20,125
And a bulimic.
11
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,595
I'm also a shopaholic,
who has problems with weed...
12
00:03:26,363 --> 00:03:28,098
prescription drugs...
13
00:03:31,268 --> 00:03:33,070
and anger management.
14
00:03:34,305 --> 00:03:35,437
Why are you here now?
15
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:37,005
Well, my dealer was out of town.
16
00:03:37,007 --> 00:03:39,043
I thought this seemed like
a good alternative.
17
00:03:47,252 --> 00:03:49,186
I'm here because
I want to get better.
18
00:03:49,752 --> 00:03:52,054
What were you like
as a child, Elton?
19
00:03:52,056 --> 00:03:53,489

Reggie! You're late!
44
00:05:42,299 --> 00:05:45,235
I've had to throw your dinner
in the bin! Get inside.
45
00:05:55,812 --> 00:05:57,046
Is he back?
46
00:05:58,381 --> 00:05:59,615
What am I? Thin air?
47
00:06:00,416 --> 00:06:01,682
Wouldn't get your hopes up.
48
00:06:01,684 --> 00:06:04,118
He's very unreliable
and very selfish.
49
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,388
But will you send him up
if I'm already in bed?
50
00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:07,690
Reggie! Move!
51
00:06:08,057 --> 00:06:10,093
Got to get this done
before I go out.
52
00:06:13,396 --> 00:06:14,961
All right, all done.
53
00:06:14,963 --> 00:06:16,763
Put it away before you go out.
54
00:06:16,765 --> 00:06:18,667
Mum, I've got to go.
55
00:06:18,968 --> 00:06:20,769
Where's my cardigan?
56
00:06:43,559 --> 00:06:46,494
What?
Did I do something wrong?
57
00:06:46,496 --> 00:06:47,928
Bloody hell, Sheila.
58
00:06:47,930 --> 00:06:49,832
Maybe we should
get him some lessons.
59
00:06:50,366 --> 00:06:53,668
Love to. Get him out
from under my feet.
60
00:06:56,939 --> 00:06:58,774
Go on, play it again.
61
00:07:00,142 --> 00:07:01,843
I want to play it for Dad.
62
00:07:08,783 --> 00:07:10,783
Managed to drag yourself
home then.
63
00:07:10,785 --> 00:07:13,154
- Hello, Stanley.
- How are you, Ivy?
64
00:07:13,156 --> 00:07:14,721
Like you care.
65
00:07:14,723 --> 00:07:16,392
Come on.
You're letting in a draft.
66
00:07:20,830 --> 00:07:22,296
How long you back?
67
00:07:22,298 --> 00:07:23,832
I've got
a couple of weeks' leave.
68
00:07:24,099 --> 00:07:26,466
Reggie's not long gone to bed.
69
00:07:26,468 --> 00:07:28,970
Go on. Pop up, say hello.
70
00:07:29,738 --> 00:07:30,972
I'll see him tomorrow.
71
00:07:32,974 --> 00:07:34,441
Any dinner left?
72
00:07:34,443 --> 00:07:36,878
Or have you fed it all
to that boy?
73
00:07:38,947 --> 00:07:40,849
My dad was passionate about...
74
00:07:41,617 --> 00:07:43,919
family and music.
75
00:07:44,954 --> 00:07:47,089
He'd talk for hours about jazz.
76
00:07:47,856 --> 00:07:49,322
He was always hugging me.
77
00:07:49,324 --> 00:07:50,358
I was very lucky.
78
00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:57,799
I was actually
a very happy child.
79
00:08:06,041 --> 00:08:08,741
Dad, is it true
you play piano?
80
00:08:08,743 --> 00:08:10,377
I'm saving to get lessons.
81
00:08:10,379 --> 00:08:12,612
If you want to sit in here,
you'll have to be quiet.
82
00:08:12,614 --> 00:08:15,816
I'm listening to my music.
83
00:08:24,859 --> 00:08:26,795
I like this one, Dad.
84
00:08:32,067 --> 00:08:35,437
Never, ever touch
my collection without asking.
85
00:08:46,114 --> 00:08:48,083
When are you going to hug me?
86
00:08:48,817 --> 00:08:50,185
Don't be soft.
87
00:08:58,628 --> 00:09:00,160
What are you still doing up?
88
00:09:00,462 --> 00:09:01,463
Learning.
89
00:09:02,464 --> 00:09:04,332
Turn off the light.
Go to sleep.
90
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,660
Crumbs! That was energetic!
91
00:10:07,662 --> 00:10:09,230
Play another one.
92
00:10:09,764 --> 00:10:12,032
The "Moonlight Sonata," Reggie.
93
00:10:14,435 --> 00:10:17,102
Mum? My piano teacher
thinks I'm good enough
94
00:10:17,104 --> 00:10:19,473
for a scholarship
at the Royal Academy of Music.
95
00:10:20,775 --> 00:10:23,243
The Royal Academy of Music?
96
00:10:23,877 --> 00:10:26,180
It has a nice ring to it.
97
00:10:26,514 --> 00:10:27,549
"Royal."
98
00:10:27,915 --> 00:10:29,283
Scissors.
99
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:34,589
- What do you think?
- The red one's good.
100
00:10:35,955 --> 00:10:39,324
- It's only on Saturdays.
- I've things to do on weekends.
101
00:10:39,326 --> 00:10:41,562
- Can't just drop everything.
- I'll take you.
102
00:10:44,198 --> 00:10:47,232
- Where are you off to?
- Don't know.
103
00:10:47,234 --> 00:10:48,535
Haven't decided yet.
104
00:10:49,069 --> 00:10:51,840
But whatever it is,
you're not invited.
105
00:10:52,172 --> 00:10:55,543
Reggie's piano teacher thinks he's
good enough for a scholarship.
106
00:10:55,943 --> 00:10:56,977
Really?
107
00:10:57,445 --> 00:10:59,310
You think he's got
that kind of talent?
108
00:10:59,312 --> 00:11:01,680
Of course, he has.
But you'd know that
109
00:11:01,682 --> 00:11:04,651
if you took the slightest bit of
interest in me or this family.
110
00:11:15,195 --> 00:11:17,364
Stop looking at that.
You're not a girl.
111
00:11:31,010 --> 00:11:34,646
- Can we go home?
- Home? No going home.
112
00:11:34,648 --> 00:11:35,849
This is your life.
113
00:11:36,383 --> 00:11:38,552
You have to get over
that silly shyness.
114
00:11:38,951 --> 00:11:40,285
But Mum says I'll never...
115
00:11:40,287 --> 00:11:42,220
Everybody's frightened
at the beginning.
116
00:11:42,222 --> 00:11:44,558
You play at being confident.
117
00:11:45,626 --> 00:11:47,726
Life gives you
very few chances, Reggie,
118
00:11:47,728 --> 00:11:49,095
and this is one of yours.
119
00:11:49,362 --> 00:11:51,195
You show 'em you can be
as good as they are.
120
00:11:51,197 --> 00:11:53,634
Better. Number one.
You can do that, can't you?
121
00:11:54,267 --> 00:11:57,369
- Yeah, I suppose.
- Good. Go on then. Here.
122
00:11:57,371 --> 00:12:00,374
Here's for a bag of chips
and your bus fare home.
123
00:12:17,557 --> 00:12:18,859
Reginald Dwight?
124
00:12:19,292 --> 00:12:21,527
- Yes.
- Hi. How do you do?
125
00:12:23,996 --> 00:12:25,499
Good, thank you.
126
00:12:26,065 --> 00:12:27,534
Take your coat off.
127
00:12:30,437 --> 00:12:32,473
Did you not bring
something to play?
128
00:12:34,141 --> 00:12:35,374
Didn't know I had to.
129
00:12:36,909 --> 00:12:38,144
I see. Well...
130
00:12:40,246 --> 00:12:41,779
So, can you show me anything
131
00:12:41,781 --> 00:12:45,051
so I can get a sense
of where you're up to?
132
00:13:06,105 --> 00:13:07,507
Why have you stopped?
133
00:13:09,876 --> 00:13:11,277
That's as far as you got.
134
00:13:14,547 --> 00:13:16,547
You might have a good memory,
and a good ear,
135
00:13:16,549 --> 00:13:18,785
but you've an awful lot
of work to do.
136
00:13:19,820 --> 00:13:22,421
So, wrists and back straight.
137
00:13:23,021 --> 00:13:25,188
Let's start
with the C-major scale,
138
00:13:25,190 --> 00:13:27,360
both hands, two octaves.
139
00:13:35,501 --> 00:13:38,070
Hands off the table, Reginald.
Stop making that noise.
140
00:13:41,008 --> 00:13:42,742

Boy... There's a boy there.
171
00:16:15,492 --> 00:16:17,629
Reggie. What you doing?
172
00:16:19,030 --> 00:16:22,734
Hello, son. I'm Fred.
I'm a friend of your mum's.
173
00:16:31,276 --> 00:16:34,111
You tied me down
with that kid years ago,
174
00:16:34,113 --> 00:16:36,812
and now I've finally
got a reason to leave
175
00:16:36,814 --> 00:16:40,051
and be rid of you
and this bloody house!
176
00:17:03,307 --> 00:17:05,542
He didn't even give me
a hug goodbye.
177
00:17:07,311 --> 00:17:09,446
He's no good
at showing affection.
178
00:17:09,914 --> 00:17:11,482
Never has been.
179
00:17:14,152 --> 00:17:17,387
- I wish I was someone else.
- Oh, don't be silly.
180
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,561
Well, how do you think I felt?
181
00:17:27,531 --> 00:17:28,799
I was a kid.
182
00:17:34,105 --> 00:17:35,539
Heartbroken.
183
00:17:38,642 --> 00:17:40,544
People don't care though,
do they?
184
00:17:44,481 --> 00:17:45,717
Anyway...
185
00:17:48,585 --> 00:17:50,454
I'd discovered records.
186
00:17:52,356 --> 00:17:53,857
And rock 'n' roll.
187
00:18:00,198 --> 00:18:03,498
I know you like him.
He's quite a dish.
188
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:06,104
- I would.
- Oh, Mum!
189
00:18:06,537 --> 00:18:08,873
Thanks, Mum. It's fantastic.
190
00:18:09,107 --> 00:18:12,040
You serious about wanting
to be a rock 'n' roller?
191
00:18:12,042 --> 00:18:13,842
Yeah. Of course.
192
00:18:13,844 --> 00:18:15,913
Better get you
the proper haircut, eh?
193
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,750
- Can I get it cut like Elvis?
- Enjoy it while it lasts.
194
00:18:20,050 --> 00:18:21,783
He's like my side
of the family.
195
00:18:21,785 --> 00:18:24,454
He'll be bald as an egg
by the time he's 20.
196
00:18:44,074 --> 00:18:46,274
Congratulations to Dave.
He's won four pork chops,
197
00:18:46,276 --> 00:18:49,010
half a pound of prime mince
and a string of sausages.
198

in this one and set it to music.
357
00:27:50,049 --> 00:27:51,648
Okay.
Well, I'll see you soon.
358
00:27:51,650 --> 00:27:53,450
Thank you for coming in.
Will I hear from you, or...
359
00:27:53,452 --> 00:27:55,332
We'll be in touch.
We'll be in touch. Thank you.
360
00:27:55,388 --> 00:27:58,290
Okay. Thanks so much
for your time.
361
00:27:58,825 --> 00:28:00,660
No worries. Come on.
362
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,939
One frothy coffee, no froth.
363
00:28:16,941 --> 00:28:19,245
- Thanks.
- We close in an hour.
364
00:28:22,148 --> 00:28:24,681
- Bernie Taupin?
- Yeah. You must be Elton?
365
00:28:24,683 --> 00:28:25,749
- Yeah.
- Hi.
366
00:28:25,751 --> 00:28:27,319
Well, that's my stage name.
367
00:28:27,821 --> 00:28:31,157
You can tell me your real name when
we get to know each other better.
368
00:28:31,524 --> 00:28:32,559
Right.
369
00:28:34,092 --> 00:28:36,327
- Uh...
- Um...
370
00:28:37,530 --> 00:28:39,262
- I was thinking... Sorry.
- Have you ever... Sorry.
371
00:28:39,264 --> 00:28:41,232
No, no, please.
After you.
372
00:28:42,868 --> 00:28:45,003
- I like your lyrics.
- Thank you.
373
00:28:45,471 --> 00:28:48,340
Yeah, I got the tape
you sent. It's great.
374
00:28:48,874 --> 00:28:51,310
- Really good.
- Thanks.
375
00:28:52,044 --> 00:28:55,712
Hang on. Don't bother with that one.
That wasn't supposed to be in there.
376
00:28:55,714 --> 00:28:58,316
- That's sent by mistake.
- No, no, that's really good.
377
00:28:58,684 --> 00:29:00,285
I wrote a tune to it.
378
00:29:01,286 --> 00:29:02,952
- Yeah, I...
- "Border Song"?
379
00:29:02,954 --> 00:29:06,623
Yeah. I read it and I could
hear the whole tune in my head.
380
00:29:06,625 --> 00:29:09,860
It was all there, I could see all the
notes, and I just had to get it out.
381
00:29:09,862 --> 00:29:13,265
It was like my fingers couldn't work
fast enough to keep up with my brain.
382
00:29:15,468 --> 00:29:16,900
Do you ever get anything
like that?
383
00:29:16,902 --> 00:29:19,205
Uh... not really, no.
384
00:29:19,905 --> 00:29:22,106
But I can write more
for you, though, Elton.
385
00:29:22,707 --> 00:29:26,010
- I'll just send them down to you.
- Great. That'll be good.
386
00:29:26,912 --> 00:29:28,146
Great.
387
00:29:32,150 --> 00:29:33,418
My real name's Reg Dwight.
388
00:29:33,719 --> 00:29:36,755
Cool. Yeah, that sounds
like a cowboy name.
389
00:29:38,089 --> 00:29:39,358
Yeah, all I ever...
390
00:29:39,758 --> 00:29:41,725
All I ever wanted to be
was a cowboy, you see.
391
00:29:41,727 --> 00:29:43,629
Do you like
country and western music?

- Yeah.

Laredo" by Marty Robbins?

00:32:07,005 --> 00:32:10,005
He's the good-looking one.
We'll make him the singer.
433
00:32:10,007 --> 00:32:13,642
Oh, no, hold on. I'm tone-deaf.
Elton is... He sings the songs.

Elton, time for bed.
528
00:37:54,015 --> 00:37:56,050
We became inseparable
after that.
529
00:37:57,285 --> 00:37:58,953
The brother I never had.
530
00:37:59,821 --> 00:38:01,754
Do you know, in 20 years,
531
00:38:01,756 --> 00:38:05,624
we have never had
a single argument. Not once.
532
00:38:05,626 --> 00:38:08,830
Anyway, I took his advice,
told Arabella.
533
00:38:10,164 --> 00:38:12,033
She took it very well,
actually.
534
00:38:13,567 --> 00:38:16,668
You bastard!
535
00:38:16,670 --> 00:38:18,170
She's killed my piano.
536
00:38:18,172 --> 00:38:20,775
You treacherous beast!
537
00:38:21,476 --> 00:38:24,645
Your music's as shitty
as you are!
538
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,115
Hi, Mum.
539
00:38:27,582 --> 00:38:29,684
I knew you'd be back.
540
00:38:30,386 --> 00:38:33,553
You'll have to pay rent.
I'm not made of money.
541
00:38:41,795 --> 00:38:43,398
- Morning.
- Good morning.
542
00:38:43,730 --> 00:38:46,067
- Get dressed, Reggie!
- Elton.
543
00:38:46,934 --> 00:38:49,037
I'm not having you
moping around here all day.
544
00:38:49,536 --> 00:38:50,571
We're songwriting.
545
00:38:51,072 --> 00:38:53,708
Oh, yeah?
Looks like it's going well.
546
00:38:56,412 --> 00:38:59,378
Right. I will not
have a mess in this house.
547
00:38:59,380 --> 00:39:01,848
It's nice and tidy,
and that's how I want it to stay.
548
00:39:02,316 --> 00:39:04,417
I'll not have
a doss house around here.
549
00:39:04,419 --> 00:39:08,189
I can't do everything.
I can't cook and clean and wash.
550
00:39:08,889 --> 00:39:11,357
Rely upon me to do everything.
It's not fair.
551
00:39:11,359 --> 00:39:12,592
There's egg on this.
552
00:39:16,431 --> 00:39:19,700
I'd better go
take a shave, I think.
553
00:39:27,641 --> 00:39:28,942

I love it. Best thing I've
heard since "Let It Be."
593
00:42:57,516 --> 00:42:59,081
Trans-fucking-Atlantic!
594
00:42:59,083 --> 00:43:00,885
Always knew
you boys could do it.
595
00:43:01,453 --> 00:43:04,123
First thing I'm gonna do is
put you on a three-album deal.
596
00:43:04,356 --> 00:43:06,925
- Three?
- A year.
597
00:43:07,426 --> 00:43:09,726
And I got you a couple of
nights at the Troubadour.
598
00:43:09,728 --> 00:43:12,931
- Doug Weston's an old friend.
- Hang on. The Troubadour?
599
00:43:13,232 --> 00:43:16,500
- It's this really cool folk club in LA.
- Yeah, we know what it is, Ray.
600
00:43:16,502 --> 00:43:18,503
Hang on. Now, let's not be
hasty, because the thing is,
601
00:43:18,505 --> 00:43:20,170
I haven't even got
a backing band yet.
602
00:43:20,172 --> 00:43:21,973
No, I've sorted the backup
band, don't worry.
603
00:43:22,307 --> 00:43:23,973
Dick, I don't wanna
appear ungrateful,
604
00:43:23,975 --> 00:43:25,509
but you can't just spring
the Troubadour on me.
605
00:43:25,511 --> 00:43:27,780
Look, it's time to do
something bold, Elton.
606
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,716
Granted, America's
a bit of a gamble,
607
00:43:31,216 --> 00:43:33,018
and you fuck up
and I'll kill ya.
608
00:43:33,952 --> 00:43:36,255
But Ray'll go, too.
He'll keep an eye on you.
609
00:43:36,722 --> 00:43:40,859
Buy yourself some new clothes.
Get something flashy.
610
00:43:41,627 --> 00:43:43,262
Let 'em know who you are.
611
00:43:44,096 --> 00:43:46,264
Put on a great fucking show,
612
00:43:47,566 --> 00:43:49,735
and just don't
kill yourself with drugs.
613
00:43:50,034 --> 00:43:51,903
Yeah?
614
00:43:52,504 --> 00:43:53,505
Yeah, all right.
615
00:43:54,673 --> 00:43:56,140
I'm gonna have a massage.

Ray.

00:45:01,105 --> 00:45:02,972
Hey, Doug. Bernie.
Nice to meet you.
633
00:45:02,974 --> 00:45:04,375
- Hi, Bernie.
- Good morning.
634
00:45:04,909 --> 00:45:06,675
- Hi. I'm Elton.
- Oh.
635
00:45:06,677 --> 00:45:08,344
Sweet. How are you?
636
00:45:08,346 --> 00:45:10,913
Monday night at the Troubadour, man.
637
00:45:10,915 --> 00:45:12,415
It's gonna blow your mind.
638
00:45:12,417 --> 00:45:14,720
Be totally packed.
You're gonna love it.
639
00:45:15,119 --> 00:45:17,052
It's a bit different
from what I expected.
640
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:18,089
Yeah?
641
00:45:18,490 --> 00:45:20,156
Yeah, it's just a bit smaller.
642
00:45:20,158 --> 00:45:22,157
Well, size is
everything, my friend.
643
00:45:22,159 --> 00:45:23,793
Neil Young
played here last week
644
00:45:23,795 --> 00:45:26,562
and there were people lined
around the block.
645
00:45:26,564 --> 00:45:28,766
Man, it was just...
It was the best night ever.
646
00:45:29,267 --> 00:45:31,235
- That's a cool hat.
- Yeah?
647
00:45:31,602 --> 00:45:33,805
- You like it?
- I do like it, yeah.
648
00:45:34,505 --> 00:45:36,572
- I won that hat, in a bet.
- Oh.
649
00:45:36,574 --> 00:45:38,174
- With Bob Dylan.
- Really?
650
00:45:38,176 --> 00:45:39,375
- Yeah.
- That's cool.
651
00:45:39,377 --> 00:45:41,010
Elton. This is the band.
652
00:45:41,012 --> 00:45:43,179
I'm just gonna check
they know what they're doing.
653
00:45:43,181 --> 00:45:45,781
So, you want something to drink?
Get these guys whatever they want.
654
00:45:45,783 --> 00:45:47,217
They just flew in from England
655
00:45:47,552 --> 00:45:49,454
and, boy, their arms are tired.
656
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,329
Whoa, dude,
what the hell are you wearing?
657
00:46:01,532 --> 00:46:02,533
My stage gear.
658
00:46:02,935 --> 00:46:05,367
Where's Reggie? Where's Reggie?
Reggie, Reggie, Reggie.
659
00:46:05,369 --> 00:46:08,037
Neil Diamond is at the bar.
He's talking to Leon Russell
660
00:46:08,039 --> 00:46:11,241
and half the fucking
Beach Boys. Huh?
661
00:46:14,579 --> 00:46:16,313
Jesus, shit, Bernie!
662
00:46:17,214 --> 00:46:18,449
Reggie?
663
00:46:18,783 --> 00:46:21,385
- Elton. I think you're overreacting.
- No.
664
00:46:22,052 --> 00:46:24,753
Bernie, you are under-reacting.
665
00:46:24,755 --> 00:46:27,323
They are the geniuses
of American music.
666
00:46:27,325 --> 00:46:29,058
I can't go out there
in front of that lot!
667
00:46:29,060 --> 00:46:33,328
Okay, okay. Then we'll tell Doug
to refund everyone's ticket,
668
00:46:33,330 --> 00:46:35,430
- and we'll send everybody home.
- Where is he?
669
00:46:35,432 --> 00:46:38,266
- Hey, Ray.
- You've signed a contract!
670
00:46:38,268 --> 00:46:39,802
Dick's paid
your fucking airfare!
671
00:46:39,804 --> 00:46:42,439
Now get out there and play,
you little twat.
672
00:46:50,314 --> 00:46:51,516
Well, come on then.
673
00:46:52,617 --> 00:46:54,585

- Hi.
712
00:50:26,096 --> 00:50:27,830
- Hello.
- You were amazing!
713
00:50:29,032 --> 00:50:30,232
Thank you.
714
00:50:31,134 --> 00:50:33,834
All right.
Enough of this bullshit.
715
00:50:33,836 --> 00:50:36,237
Who wants to go
to a party at Mama Cass's?
716
00:50:36,905 --> 00:50:40,542
I'm so drunk, and Doug's
just lent me his car.
717
00:51:02,597 --> 00:51:06,434
- How cool is this, man?
- Yeah, great.
718
00:51:07,435 --> 00:51:09,337
Apparently Dylan's
here somewhere.
719
00:51:12,273 --> 00:51:13,442
Uh...
720
00:51:13,876 --> 00:51:16,011
I'm gonna go to the teepee
with Heather.
721
00:51:16,812 --> 00:51:18,814
- Really? All right.
- Yeah.
722
00:51:19,948 --> 00:51:20,982
Okay.
723
00:51:21,449 --> 00:51:23,250
- You'll be all right, won't you?
- Yeah, of course.
724
00:51:23,252 --> 00:51:24,485
Yeah, yeah.
725
00:51:30,691 --> 00:51:32,795
So we still gonna go to
Tower Records tomorrow, then?
726
00:51:33,262 --> 00:51:37,599
Uh, well, she's talking about going to
some place called Paradise Cove tomorrow.
727
00:51:39,735 --> 00:51:41,535
But we'll go
another time, though.
728
00:51:41,537 --> 00:51:43,372
- Yeah, of course.

729
00:51:43,705 --> 00:51:44,705

00:51:45,206 --> 00:51:46,607

I know it all seems
a bit overwhelming at first,
768
00:55:13,980 --> 00:55:16,649
but something makes me think
you'll get used to it.
769
00:55:18,685 --> 00:55:22,222
In fact, I predict you could be the
best-selling artist in America if you desire.

at the Troubadour tonight, do you?
773
00:55:36,136 --> 00:55:38,603
Look, I'm in music management,
and let me tell you,
774
00:55:38,605 --> 00:55:42,642
there are moments in a rock

as he ascends into the heavens.

00:55:50,783 --> 00:55:52,252

801
00:57:42,794 --> 00:57:45,629
- Okay.
- Things are going crazy. I've extended our stay.
802
00:57:45,631 --> 00:57:47,830
We're in San Francisco
tomorrow for three nights.
803
00:57:47,832 --> 00:57:49,499
- Ray, slow down.
- After that we fly to NYC,
804
00:57:49,501 --> 00:57:51,769
then we're back here for
two more shows, and then...
805
00:57:52,037 --> 00:57:54,439
Dick wants us back in London
to start the new album.
806
00:57:55,007 --> 00:57:56,940
- Doug.
- "Rejoice.
807
00:57:56,942 --> 00:57:59,242
Rock music has a new star.
808
00:57:59,244 --> 00:58:03,013
He's Englishman Elton John,
a 23-year-old,
809
00:58:03,015 --> 00:58:08,786
whose debut at the Troubadour
was, in every way, magnificent."
810
00:58:09,153 --> 00:58:10,786
Whoo!
811
00:58:10,788 --> 00:58:11,989
It's happening, guys.
812
00:58:12,291 --> 00:58:13,925
Just remember,
when you get back...
813
00:58:14,393 --> 00:58:15,826
four shows you owe me.
814
00:58:18,230 --> 00:58:20,065
- You said...
- Four.
815
00:58:20,465 --> 00:58:21,900
Did... You said four shows?
816
00:58:22,201 --> 00:58:24,434
- Yes.
- That's not gonna work!
817
00:58:24,436 --> 00:58:25,470
So...
818
00:58:28,675 --> 00:58:30,207
will I see you
when I get back?
819
00:58:30,209 --> 00:58:33,543
Now, don't worry about me.
Go and enjoy your moment.
820
00:58:33,545 --> 00:58:36,080
- That's what's important.
- Come to London with me.
821
00:58:37,148 --> 00:58:38,781
I can't, but, uh...
822
00:58:38,783 --> 00:58:41,852

No one's
getting phased out, Dick.
904
01:04:09,344 --> 01:04:12,748
Elton feels things will run more
smoothly if he has personal management.
905
01:04:14,049 --> 01:04:16,920
- There's never been a problem before.
- And there isn't one now.
906
01:04:17,787 --> 01:04:20,955
Look, there's loads of work and
commitments, tours, etcetera.
907
01:04:20,957 --> 01:04:23,189
That's what I'll be doing,
personal management.
908
01:04:23,191 --> 01:04:25,193
- Taking care of things.
- Is that right?
909
01:04:25,528 --> 01:04:27,528
You realize I've got
a contract with Elton.
910
01:04:27,530 --> 01:04:29,062
I've had that looked into,
911
01:04:29,064 --> 01:04:30,431
and my client
is quite entitled
912
01:04:30,433 --> 01:04:31,932
to take on
outside representation.
913
01:04:31,934 --> 01:04:33,335
That's what you think.
914
01:04:35,037 --> 01:04:38,173
You fucking poofter.
915
01:04:39,943 --> 01:04:42,778
And you. You're happy
with this arrangement, are ya?
916
01:04:43,211 --> 01:04:44,446
Right?
917
01:04:44,746 --> 01:04:45,949
After all these years?
918
01:04:46,348 --> 01:04:48,083
It's nothing personal, Dick.
919
01:04:51,988 --> 01:04:53,221
Come on, Ray.
920
01:04:57,859 --> 01:04:59,428
Best of luck to you, Elton.
921
01:05:04,266 --> 01:05:07,636
Your very expensive painting
is upside down.
922
01:05:10,405 --> 01:05:13,408
- After you, Mr. James.
- Thank you, Raymond.
923
01:05:15,243 --> 01:05:16,846
Well...
924
01:05:17,312 --> 01:05:19,348
that was absolutely horrible.
925
01:05:19,948 --> 01:05:22,749
Don't worry, it's business.
Dick's a big boy, he'll be fine.
926
01:05:22,751 --> 01:05:26,820
Mr. Reid, Lord Grade's office have called
about the Royal Variety Performance.
927
01:05:26,822 --> 01:05:29,022
Apparently,
the Queen Mother is a big fan.
928
01:05:29,024 --> 01:05:32,359
Couldn't we have kept on Ray?
He's such a lovely guy.
929
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:34,196
"Lovely guy" is not a job.
930
01:05:35,330 --> 01:05:37,432
This is a crucial time,
Elton.
931
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,433
You and I are gonna
have to be more careful,
932
01:05:40,435 --> 01:05:42,103
'cause the papers
have been sniffing around.
933
01:05:42,105 --> 01:05:44,572
We can't give them
anything to speculate on.
934
01:05:44,873 --> 01:05:47,174
I'm thinking of getting
someone in as your girlfriend.
935
01:05:47,876 --> 01:05:50,378
- Doesn't that seem a bit excessive?
- No, no, no, no, no.
936
01:05:50,579 --> 01:05:52,646
This is your career
and our business at stake.
937
01:05:52,648 --> 01:05:55,149
If our sleeping
arrangements get out...
938
01:05:55,517 --> 01:05:57,452
- all of this is gone.
- Right.
939
01:05:57,886 --> 01:06:00,055
And you're gonna have
to talk to your parents.
940
01:06:00,522 --> 01:06:02,088
Make sure they know
what to say.
941
01:06:02,090 --> 01:06:04,159
Those are the first doors
reporters knock on.
942
01:06:14,036 --> 01:06:17,171
- Hello, Reg.
- Hello, Dad.
943
01:06:23,177 --> 01:06:25,714
Well, come on in.
944
01:06:27,082 --> 01:06:29,284
Well, those are
very fancy shoes.
945
01:06:29,785 --> 01:06:31,520
Oh. Yeah.
946
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:34,555
I brought you something.
947
01:06:44,198 --> 01:06:45,433
Why are you here, Reg?
948
01:06:47,836 --> 01:06:49,736
The boys.
949
01:06:53,307 --> 01:06:55,508
Dad, there's
a Rolls-Royce outside.
950
01:06:55,510 --> 01:06:57,378
Stephen, Geoff...
951
01:06:58,312 --> 01:07:00,648
this is your brother, Reggie.
952
01:07:00,915 --> 01:07:02,016
Half brother.
953
01:07:02,483 --> 01:07:04,452
Not actually called
Reggie anymore.
954
01:07:05,786 --> 01:07:06,786
Hmm.
955
01:07:07,189 --> 01:07:09,055
I thought maybe
once I'm back from touring,
956
01:07:09,057 --> 01:07:11,026
you and I could
get together, if you like.
957
01:07:11,425 --> 01:07:14,495
I could get you some tickets
to my next concert.
958
01:07:15,229 --> 01:07:17,431
Not really my thing.
959
01:07:18,867 --> 01:07:21,969
Is it true
you're worth 25 million pound?
960
01:07:22,403 --> 01:07:24,536
Do you know,
I don't actually know.
961
01:07:24,538 --> 01:07:27,108
They're really
proud of you. Mmm.
962
01:07:27,742 --> 01:07:30,478
Yeah, we've even got
some of your records.
963
01:07:30,978 --> 01:07:34,315
Why don't you go and get the album?
Grab us a pen.
964
01:07:39,620 --> 01:07:43,692
You probably get asked this all the
time, but would you...
965
01:07:44,424 --> 01:07:46,259
Would you mind signing this?
966
01:07:49,964 --> 01:07:51,297
Yeah, of course.
967
01:07:56,937 --> 01:07:59,874
Oh, no. Would you
make it out to Arthur?
968
01:08:01,308 --> 01:08:03,310
He's one of the blokes
from work.
969
01:08:03,644 --> 01:08:05,279
Yeah, he's a big fan.
970
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:08,581
- Is he?
- Mm-hmm.
971
01:08:16,857 --> 01:08:17,858
Perfect.
972
01:08:20,828 --> 01:08:21,862
Right.
973
01:08:23,296 --> 01:08:26,634
Well, looks like things worked out
really well second time around, Dad.
974
01:08:27,568 --> 01:08:28,769
- I suppose they have.
- Mmm.
975
01:08:29,403 --> 01:08:31,905
'Cause, you know,
not everybody gets a second chance.
976
01:08:36,810 --> 01:08:40,047
The boys loved
meeting a real-life pop star.
977
01:08:40,547 --> 01:08:42,615
Sure. Thanks, Dad.
978
01:08:43,017 --> 01:08:44,051
Bye.
979
01:08:47,087 --> 01:08:48,887
- When I grow up, Dad...
- Get inside.
980
01:08:48,889 --> 01:08:51,659
What are you doing
without your shoes on?
981
01:08:52,593 --> 01:08:54,428
You're gonna be a draftsman.
982
01:08:56,162 --> 01:08:57,497
Back inside.
983
01:09:24,891 --> 01:09:27,660
What have you got to do to get
a fucking drink around here, eh?
984
01:09:35,568 --> 01:09:37,037
Will you stop sulking?
985
01:09:38,973 --> 01:09:41,075
It has to be done
whether you like it or not.
986
01:09:41,608 --> 01:09:43,810
Are you gonna be scared of her
your whole life?
987
01:09:45,645 --> 01:09:46,878
Right, stop the car.
988
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,415
- Elton...
- I said, stop the car!
989
01:09:54,288 --> 01:09:56,789
You're onstage in 15 minutes.
990
01:09:57,991 --> 01:10:00,491
You're the big-shot manager.
You make my excuses.
991
01:10:00,493 --> 01:10:04,664
Tell them I'm indisposed,
breaking my mother's heart!
992
01:10:05,299 --> 01:10:06,865
Elton. Elton!
993
01:10:06,867 --> 01:10:08,533
Drive 'round, Denis.
994
01:10:08,902 --> 01:10:10,400
Liberace!
995
01:10:18,745 --> 01:10:20,978
Pinner nine, seven,
double-five.
996
01:10:20,980 --> 01:10:23,716
- Mum, it's me.
- I know who you are.
997
01:10:25,585 --> 01:10:27,152
Well, I've got something
to tell you.
998
01:10:27,154 --> 01:10:30,122
Reggie, we're gonna miss
the bit of the show with you on.
999
01:10:30,124 --> 01:10:31,557
Look, shut up, Mum!
1000
01:10:32,258 --> 01:10:34,426
I'm not on telly yet, am I?
I'm talking to you.
1001
01:10:36,561 --> 01:10:37,797
I...
1002
01:10:38,497 --> 01:10:40,033
Me and John, we...
1003
01:10:42,235 --> 01:10:43,535
Well, the thing is...
1004
01:10:47,273 --> 01:10:50,109
I'm... a homosexual.
1005
01:10:54,447 --> 01:10:55,981
A poofter.
1006
01:10:57,317 --> 01:10:58,717
A fairy.
1007
01:10:59,484 --> 01:11:00,686
A queen.
1008
01:11:06,192 --> 01:11:07,592
Well, say something.
1009
01:11:11,064 --> 01:11:13,633
Oh, for God's sake,
I know that.
1010
01:11:16,069 --> 01:11:17,170
Known for years.
1011
01:11:19,604 --> 01:11:22,174
- You don't mind?
- Frankly, I don't care.
1012
01:11:22,941 --> 01:11:26,044
But I'd rather you keep
that sort of thing to yourself.
1013
01:11:28,281 --> 01:11:30,613
I just hope you realize
you're choosing a life
1014
01:11:30,615 --> 01:11:32,251
of being alone forever.
1015
01:11:33,419 --> 01:11:35,822
You'll never be loved properly.
1016
01:11:41,627 --> 01:11:43,628
Right. Got to go.
1017
01:11:52,771 --> 01:11:54,706
She said I'll never be loved.
1018
01:11:56,041 --> 01:11:57,907
Don't ever put me
in this position again.
1019
01:11:57,909 --> 01:11:59,176
You're onstage in 10 minutes,
1020
01:11:59,178 --> 01:12:00,978
so get over yourself
and do the show.
1021
01:12:00,980 --> 01:12:02,982
We're running a business here,
you fucking idiot.
1022
01:12:04,750 --> 01:12:07,020
Don't ever put your hands on me.
1023
01:12:11,723 --> 01:12:13,792
Real love's hard to come by.
1024
01:12:20,999 --> 01:12:22,901
So you find a way
to cope without it.
1025
01:13:24,862 --> 01:13:26,597
- You okay?
- Yeah.
1026
01:13:27,099 --> 01:13:29,332
Got the number-one album
in America. Again.
1027
01:13:29,334 --> 01:13:33,735
I'm about to embark on the
highest-grossing tour in rock history.
1028
01:13:33,737 --> 01:13:35,671
I'm personally responsible
for five percent
1029
01:13:35,673 --> 01:13:38,041
of all record sales
on the entire planet,
1030
01:13:38,043 --> 01:13:40,910
and I have the biggest
headdress known to man.
1031
01:13:40,912 --> 01:13:42,879
So, yeah,
I think I'm okay, Bernie.
1032
01:13:42,881 --> 01:13:44,646
It used to just be
the two of us.
1033
01:13:44,648 --> 01:13:46,782
Now there's busloads of people
just to do the music.
1034
01:13:46,784 --> 01:13:48,551
Hang on, hang on,
don't you wanna just
1035
01:13:48,553 --> 01:13:51,256
go out there and sing without
this ridiculous paraphernalia?
1036
01:13:51,889 --> 01:13:55,093
You know,
just be yourself, Reg?
1037
01:13:56,261 --> 01:13:58,995
Why the fuck
would I want that, Bernie?
1038
01:13:58,997 --> 01:14:01,998
You wouldn't say this shit to me
if you were a real friend.
1039
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,666
People don't pay
to see Reginald Dwight.
1040
01:14:04,668 --> 01:14:07,170
They pay to see Elton John!
1041
01:14:07,172 --> 01:14:10,341
Don't ever tell me
how to do my fucking job!
1042
01:14:17,315 --> 01:14:18,350
Break a leg.
1043
01:14:21,186 --> 01:14:22,718
You don't have
to put up with this, Reg.
1044
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:24,955
Write the fucking lyrics,
Bernie!
1045
01:14:25,656 --> 01:14:27,392
Let me deal with the rest.
1046
01:14:33,063 --> 01:14:34,596
- I'm sorry.
- I know.
1047
01:14:34,598 --> 01:14:37,032
Ladies and gentlemen!
1048
01:14:37,034 --> 01:14:41,303

- Where am I?
- At your house in LA, Mr. John.
1061
01:16:03,254 --> 01:16:04,288
Right.
1062
01:16:05,556 --> 01:16:07,057
I'll put some coffee on.
1063
01:16:15,832 --> 01:16:18,833
Darling, I've been thinking,
maybe we should quit the booze
1064
01:16:18,835 --> 01:16:21,372
for a couple of days,
take some quality time together...
1065
01:16:23,073 --> 01:16:24,308
Afternoon.
1066
01:16:25,775 --> 01:16:27,011
Mr. Reid.
1067
01:16:32,649 --> 01:16:34,750
- What are you doing, John?
- Just a bit of rock 'n' roll.
1068
01:16:34,752 --> 01:16:37,588
Rock 'n' roll is not shagging your
secretary in front of the pool boys!
1069
01:16:37,887 --> 01:16:40,457
Rock 'n' roll is getting you
out of your bed in the morning.
1070
01:16:40,691 --> 01:16:43,592
Arranging 250 gigs
in 26 different countries.
1071
01:16:43,594 --> 01:16:46,463
Rock 'n' roll's actually
112 employment contracts,
1072
01:16:46,697 --> 01:16:48,497
insurance, copyright indemnity,
1073
01:16:48,499 --> 01:16:50,632
renegotiating your
previously insane contracts
1074
01:16:50,634 --> 01:16:52,200
and wiping your arse.
1075
01:16:52,202 --> 01:16:54,269
You know, all you do, Elton,
is play the piano.
1076
01:16:54,271 --> 01:16:57,405
But for me, rock 'n' roll is an 87
million-dollar-a-year industry.
1077
01:16:57,407 --> 01:17:00,109
Maybe I just play the piano,
but you know what else I do?
1078
01:17:00,510 --> 01:17:02,845
Hmm? I pay, John.
1079
01:17:03,646 --> 01:17:04,881
For everything.
1080
01:17:05,214 --> 01:17:07,417
Including this house,
which I'd like you to leave now.
1081
01:17:07,817 --> 01:17:11,118
You may still be my manager,
but you and me are finished.
1082
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:13,120
- You're so predictable.
- No, not predictable.
1083
01:17:13,122 --> 01:17:14,690
I want to be by myself,
1084
01:17:14,692 --> 01:17:18,193
not with some asshole
who doesn't give a shit about me
1085
01:17:18,195 --> 01:17:21,164
and takes the piss
day after day!
1086
01:17:21,431 --> 01:17:23,930
- Get out!
- Yoo-hoo!
1087
01:17:23,932 --> 01:17:25,501
Elton.
1088
01:17:26,769 --> 01:17:28,102
What are they doing here?
1089
01:17:28,104 --> 01:17:29,403
You told me to hire a jet
1090
01:17:29,405 --> 01:17:30,741
and fly them over
for the gig.
1091
01:17:31,407 --> 01:17:34,542
- No, no, next week, John.
- It is next week.
1092
01:17:34,544 --> 01:17:36,277
I'm gonna go
and fetch them a drink.
1093
01:17:36,279 --> 01:17:37,978
Darling, why don't you
clean yourself up,
1094
01:17:37,980 --> 01:17:39,347
because you fucking stink.
1095
01:17:39,349 --> 01:17:42,919
Sheila! It's been too long.
1096
01:17:43,386 --> 01:17:45,985
- Beautiful woman.
- Hello, look at this, you lovely lot.
1097
01:17:45,987 --> 01:17:47,323
- Here we are.
- Hi, Nan.
1098
01:17:48,056 --> 01:17:51,192
- I can't believe I'm actually in America.
- I know.
1099
01:17:51,194 --> 01:17:52,914
- Hi, Dad.
- How you doing? Good to see you.
1100
01:17:53,129 --> 01:17:54,695
- Elton.
- Hello, Mum.
1101
01:17:54,697 --> 01:17:57,298
Elton, darling,
you remember the Andersons
1102
01:17:57,300 --> 01:17:59,533
- from next door, don't you?
- Yes, the Andersons.
1103
01:17:59,535 --> 01:18:01,337
How could we forget
the Andersons?
1104
01:18:01,637 --> 01:18:02,872
- Hello.
- Hello.
1105
01:18:04,907 --> 01:18:07,810
And what a shy little boy
you were.
1106
01:18:08,076 --> 01:18:09,610
Look at you now.
1107
01:18:09,612 --> 01:18:11,978
Elton, you must
give them a tour.
1108
01:18:11,980 --> 01:18:13,381
- Yes, right now, go on.
- Yeah, okay.
1109
01:18:13,383 --> 01:18:15,115
Everyone,
Elton is giving a tour.
1110
01:18:15,117 --> 01:18:17,884
- Mum, you're on my gown.
- Don't be rude.
1111
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:27,397
Here we go.
Come here, come here. Excited?
1112
01:18:28,197 --> 01:18:29,432
- Car.
- Yeah.
1113
01:18:32,968 --> 01:18:35,870
- Bernie, how's it going, man?
- Hey, man. How's it going?
1114
01:18:35,872 --> 01:18:37,640
No idea who he is.
Of course.
1115
01:18:53,489 --> 01:18:54,624
Here he is!
1116
01:18:55,057 --> 01:18:56,956
Ladies, Elton.
1117
01:18:56,958 --> 01:18:58,026
- Hey.
- Hey.
1118
01:18:59,060 --> 01:19:01,027
What are you
doing on your own up here?
1119
01:19:01,029 --> 01:19:02,462
Miserable bastard.
1120
01:19:02,464 --> 01:19:04,164
You're missing
all the fun downstairs.
1121
01:19:04,166 --> 01:19:06,065
Well, as long as all the fun
isn't missing me,
1122
01:19:06,067 --> 01:19:07,936
then who gives a shit, Bernie?
1123
01:19:11,641 --> 01:19:12,675
We should get a drink.
1124
01:19:13,543 --> 01:19:16,410
- No, we should. Let's go get a drink.
- Come on, it's fine.
1125
01:19:16,412 --> 01:19:19,012
No, we absolutely should.
No, I'm telling you...
1126
01:19:19,014 --> 01:19:21,550
Yeah, go and get
a little drink.
1127
01:19:54,316 --> 01:19:56,249
You look amazing.
1128
01:19:56,251 --> 01:19:58,819
Fucking prick.
1129
01:20:10,998 --> 01:20:13,133

- Elton.
- Yes, sorry. You were saying?
1164
01:24:53,046 --> 01:24:55,715
I was saying
that I think I need a break.
1165

You need to take a break?
1166
01:24:58,251 --> 01:25:01,788
I think that I just need
to go and sort myself out a bit.

What?
1168
01:25:05,458 --> 01:25:09,028

both of us just disappear together?

1172
01:25:20,305 --> 01:25:22,208
We'll go to my ranch,
we'll hide away.
1173
01:25:22,440 --> 01:25:24,543
We can write like we did.
1174
01:25:26,245 --> 01:25:27,747
Like we used to.
1175
01:25:28,581 --> 01:25:31,083
We should go home, Elton.
1176
01:25:32,218 --> 01:25:33,553
Reconnect.
1177
01:25:38,391 --> 01:25:39,692
No, you should go.
1178
01:25:41,128 --> 01:25:43,762
There are other writers
I'd like to work with anyway.
1179
01:25:44,663 --> 01:25:48,067
Do me good.
Collaborate with other people.

01:28:37,968 --> 01:28:40,336
You'll never be loved properly.
1211
01:28:40,338 --> 01:28:41,973
When are you going to hug me?
1212
01:28:42,873 --> 01:28:44,109
Don't be soft.
1213
01:28:44,976 --> 01:28:46,809
Life gives you
very few chances, Reggie,
1214
01:28:46,811 --> 01:28:48,778
- and this is one of yours
- Who are you?
1215
01:28:48,780 --> 01:28:50,579
You can do
anything you want.
1216
01:28:50,581 --> 01:28:53,316
You can be anyone you want.
What do you really want?
1217
01:28:53,318 --> 01:28:55,751
And what
a shy little boy you were.
1218
01:28:55,753 --> 01:28:57,388
Look at you now.
1219
01:28:57,821 --> 01:28:59,788
What do you really want?
1220
01:28:59,790 --> 01:29:02,659
I'm going home... for a while.
1221
01:29:33,757 --> 01:29:35,724
What do you want? I'm busy.
1222
01:29:35,726 --> 01:29:37,961
Why don't you get back in
the studio you're paying for?
1223
01:29:39,364 --> 01:29:43,033
Why don't you sell my fucking records?
What's this? Hmm?
1224
01:29:43,566 --> 01:29:45,267
Number 11 in Italy.
1225
01:29:45,269 --> 01:29:47,568
The song doesn't work,
that's the problem.
1226
01:29:47,570 --> 01:29:49,371
The record's
coked-out MOR shit.
1227
01:29:49,373 --> 01:29:50,374
No, the problem...
1228
01:29:50,941 --> 01:29:55,012
is you have
never understood me...
1229
01:29:55,579 --> 01:29:57,281
and what I have to go through.
1230
01:29:57,614 --> 01:29:59,781
And you know what?
I should've sacked you when you left me.
1231
01:29:59,783 --> 01:30:02,918
I am glad I left you.
It means I can maintain some objectivity
1232
01:30:02,920 --> 01:30:05,587
in your self-indulgent,
myopic little world.
1233
01:30:05,589 --> 01:30:08,092
Get in the studio
and make some music or don't.
1234
01:30:08,392 --> 01:30:09,625
I don't care.
1235
01:30:14,597 --> 01:30:16,632
Well, you will
when your money runs out.
1236
01:30:19,903 --> 01:30:23,071
Do your worst.
In fact, take me to court.
1237
01:30:23,073 --> 01:30:25,275
You signed contracts
with me years ago.
1238
01:30:25,543 --> 01:30:29,380
So I'll still be collecting my 20%
long after you've killed yourself.
1239
01:30:30,613 --> 01:30:32,516
Get out of my fucking house!
1240
01:30:34,251 --> 01:30:35,450

I know.
1280
01:35:02,883 --> 01:35:04,652
Renate didn't deserve that.
1281
01:35:07,756 --> 01:35:09,124
She's a good person.
1282
01:35:11,292 --> 01:35:13,395
I dragged her
into all my madness.
1283
01:35:15,263 --> 01:35:17,399
Did being married
make you happy?
1284
01:35:17,700 --> 01:35:19,699
Not really. I'm gay.
1285
01:35:25,172 --> 01:35:27,340
- I think...
- Hello, Mum.
1286
01:35:27,342 --> 01:35:29,908
- Sir, would you like me to...
- Maybe a bit later, thank you.
1287
01:35:29,910 --> 01:35:31,379
- Hi, Dad.
- Hello, son.
1288
01:35:31,912 --> 01:35:33,146
- You all right?
- Yeah. Good.
1289
01:35:33,148 --> 01:35:35,950
Just talking about poor Renate.
1290
01:35:36,818 --> 01:35:38,153
Such a lovely woman.
1291
01:35:38,453 --> 01:35:40,655
Divorce can be so painful.
1292
01:35:41,489 --> 01:35:44,089
- Yeah.
- Anyway, celebration is in order.
1293
01:35:46,026 --> 01:35:50,061
We found a lovely villa
by the sea.
1294
01:35:50,063 --> 01:35:51,731
It'd be good if you would
talk to John today,
1295
01:35:51,733 --> 01:35:54,634
get the money arranged.
Can't risk losing this one.
1296
01:35:54,636 --> 01:35:56,202
Yeah, in Minorca.
1297
01:35:56,204 --> 01:35:57,503
It is a lovely place.
You should see it.
1298
01:35:57,505 --> 01:35:59,707
- Minorca, eh?
- Mmm.
1299
01:36:01,876 --> 01:36:03,545
What do you want
to go there for?
1300
01:36:04,045 --> 01:36:06,077
- Because you're driving me away.
- Mmm.
1301
01:36:06,079 --> 01:36:08,046
Every time
we open a paper,
1302
01:36:08,048 --> 01:36:10,984
there's something about you and
the booze or the drugs, and...
1303
01:36:11,753 --> 01:36:13,753
you're breaking
your poor mum's heart.
1304
01:36:13,755 --> 01:36:15,755
Tell you what,
I'll write you a check. Hmm?
1305
01:36:15,757 --> 01:36:17,422
So she can go buy a new one.
1306
01:36:17,424 --> 01:36:19,794
Typical that you'd say
something like that about me,
1307
01:36:20,127 --> 01:36:22,060
when I've given up
so much for you.
1308
01:36:22,062 --> 01:36:23,763
What have you given up for me?
1309
01:36:23,765 --> 01:36:27,235
Your father... for a start.
1310
01:36:32,072 --> 01:36:34,308
You really are
a heartless monster.
1311
01:36:38,679 --> 01:36:41,215
You know, I don't live my life
in black and white.
1312
01:36:42,884 --> 01:36:46,521
And I do not want your fucked-up,
frigid ideas about anything.
1313
01:36:50,324 --> 01:36:52,792
You know, I am so sick
1314
01:36:52,794 --> 01:36:54,561
of running away from who I am.
1315
01:36:56,763 --> 01:36:59,931
There's nothing wrong
with success. Or pleasure.
1316
01:36:59,933 --> 01:37:01,299
In fact,
why am I apologizing for it?
1317
01:37:01,301 --> 01:37:03,770
Mum, I have fucked
everything that moves.
1318
01:37:05,372 --> 01:37:08,173
And I've taken
every drug known to man.
1319
01:37:08,175 --> 01:37:09,409
All of them.
1320
01:37:10,745 --> 01:37:11,779
Do you know what?
1321
01:37:13,681 --> 01:37:15,449
I enjoyed
every last minute of it.
1322
01:37:15,850 --> 01:37:18,617
Ever since you first dangled
your fat little legs
1323
01:37:18,619 --> 01:37:20,487
in front of a piano,
you've been lucky.
1324
01:37:21,020 --> 01:37:24,422
You've never worked hard
for a bloody thing in your life.
1325
01:37:24,424 --> 01:37:26,992
It all just comes to you.
You don't do anything.
1326
01:37:26,994 --> 01:37:29,027
And I'm the one who suffers.
1327
01:37:29,029 --> 01:37:31,263
I should never
have had children.
1328
01:37:31,265 --> 01:37:35,669

Bernie?

1350

1351
01:39:29,415 --> 01:39:31,417
Now you come back
to lecture me?
1352
01:39:32,886 --> 01:39:35,787
'Cause the thing is,
the first time we actually got anywhere,
1353
01:39:35,789 --> 01:39:36,789
you left, didn't you?
1354
01:39:36,957 --> 01:39:38,890
Some girl was more important
to you than me
1355
01:39:38,892 --> 01:39:41,894
and all those legends
who were welcoming us in.
1356
01:39:43,729 --> 01:39:46,666
You left me at the most
important time, Bernie.
1357
01:39:47,533 --> 01:39:48,834
When did you give up?
1358
01:39:50,302 --> 01:39:53,270
If you don't care about yourself,
how do you expect anyone else to?
1359
01:39:53,272 --> 01:39:55,574
Whenever I needed you most...
1360
01:39:56,909 --> 01:40:00,511
- you weren't there.
- It's not weak to ask for help.
1361
01:40:00,513 --> 01:40:03,649
I have worked my balls off
to get us out of the shit.
1362
01:40:04,483 --> 01:40:07,918
Day in, day out, for years.
1363
01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:10,554
And now it's me that can't
walk down the streets.
1364
01:40:10,556 --> 01:40:13,926
It's me
who doesn't have a life.

01:46:43,712 --> 01:46:45,748
You was never ordinary.

01:46:46,749 --> 01:46:47,983

Mum, I know it was never easy.
1436
01:46:58,694 --> 01:47:00,329
And I hope you can forgive me.
1437
01:47:02,131 --> 01:47:04,733
Because I've realized
that's what we need to do now.
1438
01:47:05,835 --> 01:47:07,603
Forgive each other.
1439
01:47:09,506 --> 01:47:11,974
- No, your problem is you're selfish.
- No.
1440
01:47:12,975 --> 01:47:15,345
My problem was I believed
you loved me.
1441
01:47:15,611 --> 01:47:17,245
And you're incapable of it.
1442
01:47:17,247 --> 01:47:18,945
I gave everything
to keep something
1443
01:47:18,947 --> 01:47:20,748
that I never even had
in the first place.
1444
01:47:22,051 --> 01:47:24,854
I always thought you was
an introverted extrovert.
1445
01:47:25,521 --> 01:47:28,924
- A what?
- He's shy. He's always been shy.
1446
01:47:29,325 --> 01:47:30,993
It's all his father's fault.
1447
01:47:31,460 --> 01:47:35,197
Don't blame me.
He'd have been strange, regardless.
1448
01:47:35,798 --> 01:47:38,134
Actually, I think
I'm okay with "strange."
1449
01:47:38,634 --> 01:47:41,238
God. Not him.
1450
01:47:41,470 --> 01:47:43,339
Both of you. Stop.
1451
01:47:43,938 --> 01:47:47,276
I'm not going to allow you to
talk to me like this anymore.
1452
01:47:49,111 --> 01:47:50,980

Bernie.
1454
01:47:59,755 --> 01:48:01,488
I never told you
how much I need you.
1455
01:48:01,490 --> 01:48:03,359
No, no, no, I love you, man.
1456
01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:07,429
Always have, always will.
1457
01:48:08,963 --> 01:48:11,766

And that's what's important.
1459
01:48:14,270 --> 01:48:16,305

who you are...
1460
01:48:17,772 --> 01:48:19,074
and be okay with it.
1461
01:48:19,608 --> 01:48:21,377
He doesn't know who he is.
1462
01:48:28,684 --> 01:48:29,984
Yes, I do.

1465
01:48:48,770 --> 01:48:50,873

others, but I feel good.
1471
01:49:55,803 --> 01:49:57,305
They got a piano here?
1472
01:49:58,106 --> 01:49:59,939
- You been playing?
- Hmm...
1473
01:49:59,941 --> 01:50:01,407
- No.
- No?
1474
01:50:01,409 --> 01:50:03,512
Not in the right place
for that just now.
1475
01:50:04,580 --> 01:50:05,912
I'm scared, Bernie.
1476
01:50:09,883 --> 01:50:11,386
What if I'm not as good...
1477
01:50:13,954 --> 01:50:15,490
without the drink
and the drugs?
1478
01:50:19,227 --> 01:50:20,928
You know that's not true.
1479
01:50:22,630 --> 01:50:24,563
You're not scared
you're not good without it,
1480
01:50:24,565 --> 01:50:25,900
you're scared to feel again.
1481
01:50:26,501 --> 01:50:29,336
You might be able to lie to
yourself, but you can't lie to me.
1482
01:50:33,840 --> 01:50:35,876
I should be going.
1483
01:50:37,978 --> 01:50:39,213
Don't go.
1484
01:50:41,382 --> 01:50:42,383
Not yet.
1485
01:50:43,084 --> 01:50:44,918
This is the part
you gotta do on your own.
1486
01:50:46,521 --> 01:50:49,057
