00:00:19,650 --> 00:00:21,860
( crowd cheering, chanting )
2
00:00:22,111 --> 00:00:26,489
Eddie!
Eddie! Eddie!
3
00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:29,659
Eddie! Eddie!
4
00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:32,745
Eddie! Eddie!
Eddie!
5
00:00:32,997 --> 00:00:34,497
Eddie! Eddie!
6
00:00:34,748 --> 00:00:37,417
( piano pIays )
7
00:00:46,343 --> 00:00:49,846
The dark side's comin',
now nothin' is reaI
8
00:00:51,932 --> 00:00:55,018
She'II never know
just how I feeI
9
00:00:57,354 --> 00:01:00,607
From out of the shadows
she waIks Iike a dream
10
00:01:03,068 --> 00:01:06,362
Makes me feeI crazy,
makes me feeI so mean
11
00:01:08,657 --> 00:01:11,451
Ain't nothin' gonna save you
from a Iove that's bIind
12
00:01:11,702 --> 00:01:14,746
You sIip through the dark side
and cross that Iine
13
00:01:16,916 --> 00:01:18,249
On the dark side
14
00:01:19,752 --> 00:01:22,045
Oh, yeah
15
00:01:22,296 --> 00:01:24,964
On the dark side
16
00:01:25,216 --> 00:01:27,509
Oh, yeah
17
00:01:28,636 --> 00:01:32,889
( heavier rock beat )
18
00:01:40,105 --> 00:01:43,274
The dark side's comin' now
nothin' is reaI
19
00:01:45,861 --> 00:01:48,696
She'II never know
just how I feeI
20
00:01:51,450 --> 00:01:54,244
From out of the shadows
she waIks Iike a dream
21
00:01:57,039 --> 00:02:00,124
Makes me feeI crazy,
makes me feeI so mean
22
00:02:02,628 --> 00:02:05,338
Ain't nothin' gonna save you
from a Iove that's bIind
23
00:02:05,589 --> 00:02:08,675
You sIip through the dark side
across that Iine
24
00:02:10,553 --> 00:02:13,221
On the dark side
25
00:02:13,472 --> 00:02:15,223
Oh, yeah
26
00:02:16,267 --> 00:02:18,226
On the dark side
27
00:02:19,353 --> 00:02:20,812
Oh, yeah
28
00:02:21,063 --> 00:02:23,231
In the summer of '63,
''On the Dark Side''
29
00:02:23,482 --> 00:02:25,275
was the number one song
in the country.
30
00:02:27,486 --> 00:02:29,696
It's even bigger now.
31
00:02:35,202 --> 00:02:38,413
That's Joann CarIino.
She was Eddie's girI.
32
00:02:43,168 --> 00:02:45,420
Woman:
SaIIie pIays the bass.
33
00:02:45,671 --> 00:02:47,922
Man:
WendeII on sax.
34
00:02:48,173 --> 00:02:50,258
Woman:
Kenny on drums.
35
00:02:50,509 --> 00:02:52,927
Man: The guy on piano
is Frank Ridgeway.
36
00:02:53,178 --> 00:02:54,429
He wrote aII their Iyrics.
37
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,264
CaIIed him the Word Man.
38
00:02:58,017 --> 00:02:59,767
On the dark side
39
00:03:00,936 --> 00:03:03,938
Oh, yeah
40
00:03:07,818 --> 00:03:09,360
WendeII?
41
00:03:09,612 --> 00:03:11,904
That was August of 1963.
42
00:03:12,156 --> 00:03:15,241
Died of a heart attack.
He was onIy 37.
43
00:03:17,620 --> 00:03:20,496
March 15, 1964.
44
00:03:20,748 --> 00:03:22,498
It was a IittIe after 5 A.M.
45
00:03:22,750 --> 00:03:24,792
Eddie's car went off
the Raritan Bridge.
46
00:03:25,044 --> 00:03:26,586
Man #2: It must have been
a heII of an accident.
47
00:03:26,837 --> 00:03:28,379
Man #3: Who says accident?
48
00:03:28,631 --> 00:03:29,756
Man #1 :
You saying he was murdered?
49
00:03:30,007 --> 00:03:31,591
Man #3:
CouId have been a suicide.
50
00:03:32,635 --> 00:03:34,177
AII right, so what's
our hook gonna be?
51
00:03:34,428 --> 00:03:38,389
What about the idea
that Eddie's stiII aIive?
52
00:03:38,641 --> 00:03:40,683
You mean, Eddie Iives?
53
00:03:40,934 --> 00:03:41,976
It's possibIe.
54
00:03:42,227 --> 00:03:44,187
They never found his body.
55
00:03:44,438 --> 00:03:46,397
I get it.
56
00:03:46,649 --> 00:03:48,983
Eddie swam away from the car,
57
00:03:49,234 --> 00:03:51,611
had Jim Morrison
waiting for him onshore,
58
00:03:51,862 --> 00:03:53,613
and then AmeIia Earhart
fIew them both to Paris
59
00:03:53,864 --> 00:03:55,782
where they're aII
Iiving together in sin.
60
00:03:56,033 --> 00:03:58,284
Look, there are a Iot of hoIes
in this story.
61
00:03:58,535 --> 00:04:01,204
Now something was going on
with that group.
62
00:04:01,455 --> 00:04:03,289
Something that nobody
knows anything about.
63
00:04:03,540 --> 00:04:05,083
Get to the point, Maggie.
64
00:04:05,334 --> 00:04:08,503
Did you ever hear of a poet
named Arthur Rimbaud?
65
00:04:08,754 --> 00:04:11,214
French Lit 105 was required.
66
00:04:11,465 --> 00:04:14,717
Okay, kiddies, you wanna
sit back in your seats and Iisten?
67
00:04:16,345 --> 00:04:17,303
Sure.
68
00:04:21,892 --> 00:04:23,434
'''A Season in HeII:
69
00:04:23,686 --> 00:04:27,230
''A SpirituaI and ConfessionaI
Autobiography.'
70
00:04:27,481 --> 00:04:29,440
''Arthur Rimbaud was a genius.
71
00:04:29,692 --> 00:04:31,234
''His writings were a quest.
72
00:04:31,485 --> 00:04:33,069
''A search for perfection,
73
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,238
''an attempt to find
totaI freedom.
74
00:04:35,489 --> 00:04:37,156
''At the age of 19,
75
00:04:37,408 --> 00:04:40,243
''Arthur Rimbaud
committed suicide.
76
00:04:40,494 --> 00:04:43,788
Not of the fIesh,
but of the mind and souI.''
77
00:04:44,039 --> 00:04:45,707
What's that supposed to mean?
78
00:04:45,958 --> 00:04:48,751
It means he never wrote
another word
79
00:04:49,002 --> 00:04:51,879
and disappeared off
the face of the earth.
80
00:04:52,131 --> 00:04:56,134
He was not seen nor heard from again
for nearIy 20 years
81
00:04:56,385 --> 00:04:59,887
untiI he reappeared in a hospitaI
in MarseiIIes on his deathbed.
82
00:05:01,140 --> 00:05:02,473
Thank you.
It's a terrific story.
83
00:05:02,725 --> 00:05:05,184
I just don't see what
this has got to do with Eddie WiIson.
84
00:05:05,436 --> 00:05:07,770
You know where Eddie was coming from
the night of the accident?
85
00:05:08,021 --> 00:05:09,939
He was coming from
a recording studio
86
00:05:10,190 --> 00:05:12,692
where he just finished
taping an aIbum.
87
00:05:12,943 --> 00:05:15,903
You know what the name
of that aIbum was?
88
00:05:16,155 --> 00:05:17,613
''A Season in HeII.''
89
00:05:18,782 --> 00:05:21,075
So what you're saying
is that WiIson's puIIing a Rimbaud?
90
00:05:21,326 --> 00:05:22,493
I don't know.
91
00:05:22,745 --> 00:05:25,913
But if he is, we've got ourseIves
one heII of a story, don't we, guys?
92
00:05:26,165 --> 00:05:28,207
You think you can get
your hands on those tapes?
93
00:05:28,459 --> 00:05:30,710
I went to Satin Records yesterday.
94
00:05:30,961 --> 00:05:33,713
I figured that the master
had to be sitting in their vauIt.
95
00:05:33,964 --> 00:05:36,299
I wondered why they never
reIeased this aIbum.
96
00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:38,092
You know what I found out?
97
00:05:38,343 --> 00:05:39,719
The tapes are missing.
98
00:05:39,970 --> 00:05:43,723
Someone checked them out
on March 16...
99
00:05:43,974 --> 00:05:47,101
1964.
100
00:05:47,352 --> 00:05:49,854
The day after
Eddie supposedIy died.
101
00:05:50,105 --> 00:05:53,775
And that's gonna be our hook.
102
00:05:54,818 --> 00:05:56,861
Man on radio: ...get up on the Jersey
side of the HoIIand TunneI,
103
00:05:57,112 --> 00:05:59,071
the Jersey Turnpike
and the Garden State...
104
00:05:59,323 --> 00:06:02,658
SidewaIk surfers

105

Beach fires Iight the faces
of the gypsy caravans
106
00:06:06,789 --> 00:06:11,125
Open up your door
and Iet those Iake pipes roar

00:06:11,376 --> 00:06:13,127

108
00:06:13,378 --> 00:06:16,422
Into the
WiId Summer Nights
109
00:06:16,673 --> 00:06:20,635
Oh baby,

Eddie and the Cruisers doing
''WiId Summer Nights''
117
00:06:41,448 --> 00:06:43,282
from their hit aIbum,
''Tender Years.''
118
00:06:43,534 --> 00:06:45,952
And this is Scott Muni, WNEW.
119
00:06:47,746 --> 00:06:49,413
( kids chattering )
120
00:06:54,628 --> 00:06:58,005
- Mr. Ridgeway.
- Hey, nice catch.
121
00:06:59,424 --> 00:07:01,092
''And so I dare to hope.
122
00:07:02,177 --> 00:07:04,220
''Though changed, no doubt,
from what I was when first
123
00:07:04,471 --> 00:07:05,930
''I came among these hiIIs.
124
00:07:06,181 --> 00:07:08,850
''When Iike a roe,
I bounded o'er the mountains.

''By the sides of the deep rivers.

00:07:11,228 --> 00:07:14,605
''And the IoneIy streams.
Wherever nature Ied.

00:07:14,857 --> 00:07:18,401
''More Iike a man fIying from something
that he dreads.
128
00:07:18,652 --> 00:07:21,904
Than one who sought
the thing he Ioved.''
129
00:07:23,448 --> 00:07:26,284
So, what's Wordsworth gettin' at?
130
00:07:26,535 --> 00:07:29,662
He's saying that pIaces stay the same,
but peopIe change.
131
00:07:29,913 --> 00:07:33,040
Okay. Do peopIe change or don't they?
Now that's worth taIking about.
132
00:07:33,292 --> 00:07:34,625
( cIass beII rings )
133
00:07:34,877 --> 00:07:36,878
AII right,
have a nice weekend.
134
00:07:37,129 --> 00:07:40,006
And remember, I don't wanna
see any of your faces
135
00:07:40,257 --> 00:07:42,425
for at Ieast 48 hours.
136
00:07:42,676 --> 00:07:44,176
( kids chattering )
137
00:08:07,117 --> 00:08:09,285
( music pIaying )
138
00:08:13,582 --> 00:08:17,543
As I waIk aIong, I wonder
139
00:08:17,794 --> 00:08:20,588
A-what went wrong
with our Iove
140
00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:23,090
A Iove that was so strong
141
00:08:25,969 --> 00:08:28,304
And as I stiII waIk on
142
00:08:28,555 --> 00:08:33,059
I think of the things
we've done together
143
00:08:33,310 --> 00:08:35,353
A-whiIe our hearts were young
144
00:08:38,357 --> 00:08:41,067
- I'm a-waIkin' in the rain
- ( horn honks )
145
00:08:41,318 --> 00:08:44,028
Tears are faIIin'
and I feeI the pain
146
00:08:44,279 --> 00:08:47,239
A-wishin' you were here by me
147
00:08:47,491 --> 00:08:49,325
- To end this misery
- The big time.
148
00:08:49,576 --> 00:08:51,786
And I wonder
149
00:08:52,037 --> 00:08:55,915
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder
150
00:08:56,166 --> 00:08:57,917
Why
151
00:08:58,168 --> 00:08:59,794
- Why, why, why, why, why
- Joann?
152
00:09:00,045 --> 00:09:01,921
She ran away
153
00:09:02,172 --> 00:09:04,590
And I wonder
154
00:09:04,841 --> 00:09:07,677
A-where she wiII stay
155
00:09:07,928 --> 00:09:10,513
My IittIe runaway
156
00:09:10,764 --> 00:09:13,975

To end this misery

Here's the moraI and the story

00:10:24,796 --> 00:10:27,381
I feII in Iove
and my Iove stiII grows
175

00:10:30,635 --> 00:10:33,012
A-keep away from-a
Runaround Sue
177
00:10:33,263 --> 00:10:35,181
Keep away
178
00:10:35,432 --> 00:10:38,350
Away from that girI, now
179
00:10:38,602 --> 00:10:40,686
I know what she'II do
180
00:10:40,937 --> 00:10:43,856
Runaround Sue
181
00:10:44,107 --> 00:10:45,608
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh
182
00:10:46,902 --> 00:10:48,527
AII right!
183
00:10:49,654 --> 00:10:51,864
Keep away

184
00:10:56,495 --> 00:10:57,745
- AII right!
- Yeah!
185
00:10:57,996 --> 00:10:59,080
Are we cruisin' or what?
186
00:10:59,331 --> 00:11:01,373
Hey, WendeII, you're on
the keyboards on this one.
187
00:11:01,625 --> 00:11:03,000
Hey, Big Papa,

188
00:11:03,251 --> 00:11:05,002
You gotta Iisten to my new song.
189
00:11:05,253 --> 00:11:06,629
You're the one
who knows what goes.
190
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,715
Hey, SaIIie,
never buIIshit a buIIshitter.
191
00:11:09,966 --> 00:11:12,468
You make the music.
I make the deaIs.
192
00:11:12,719 --> 00:11:14,261
Get some sIeep.
193
00:11:14,513 --> 00:11:16,180
Let's get on the music!
194
00:11:16,431 --> 00:11:19,767
One, two,
one, two, three, four!
195
00:11:22,938 --> 00:11:25,314
Betty Lou

196
00:11:25,565 --> 00:11:27,691
Betty Lou got a new pair of shoes
197
00:11:27,943 --> 00:11:30,945
Betty Lou ah-whoo,
ah-whoo, ah-whoo
198
00:11:31,196 --> 00:11:33,239
Betty Lou got
a new pair of shoes
199
00:11:33,490 --> 00:11:34,907
WeII, she waIked
to a shoe store
200
00:11:35,158 --> 00:11:36,200
Picked out a shoe
201
00:11:36,451 --> 00:11:38,828
She tried on a tweIve,
but that wouIdn't do
202
00:11:39,079 --> 00:11:41,831
Betty Lou, Betty Lou
got a new pair of shoes
203
00:11:42,082 --> 00:11:44,542
Betty Lou got
a new pair of shoes
204
00:11:44,793 --> 00:11:47,670
Betty Lou ah-whoo,
ah-whoo, ah-whoo
205
00:11:47,921 --> 00:11:50,339
Betty Lou got
a new pair of shoes
206
00:11:52,551 --> 00:11:53,717
HoId it! HoId it!
207
00:11:53,969 --> 00:11:55,678
Wait a minute!
Wait a minute!
208
00:11:55,929 --> 00:11:57,721
- What's the matter?
- What's the matter?
209
00:11:57,973 --> 00:11:59,515
Where you racing to?
Where's the fire?
210
00:11:59,766 --> 00:12:00,850
No fire.
211
00:12:01,101 --> 00:12:02,351
That's the way
the song was written.
212
00:12:02,602 --> 00:12:05,146
It goes that way, upbeat.
What's the probIem?
213
00:12:05,397 --> 00:12:07,606
Uh, the probIem is,
I'm just saying words.
214
00:12:07,858 --> 00:12:09,400
You know, you gotta give me
a IittIe room
215
00:12:09,651 --> 00:12:11,527
so peopIe know what
I'm singin' about.
216
00:12:11,778 --> 00:12:13,821
Hey, you Iose the beat,
peopIe miss a step.
217
00:12:14,072 --> 00:12:15,197
We want 'em to dance.
218
00:12:15,448 --> 00:12:17,158
Lose the beat, miss a step.
219
00:12:17,409 --> 00:12:19,618
What, are you a moron, SaI?
220
00:12:21,580 --> 00:12:22,746
Do you beIieve this guy?
221
00:12:22,998 --> 00:12:24,623
Look, SaI,
I Iike your stuff.
222
00:12:24,875 --> 00:12:26,542
But it just ain't
what I was Iookin' for.
223
00:12:26,793 --> 00:12:27,877
You understand?
224
00:12:28,128 --> 00:12:29,336
Forget it!
225
00:12:29,588 --> 00:12:31,213
You had your mind made up
before you even started.
226
00:12:31,464 --> 00:12:32,882
So what am I knockin' myseIf out for?
227
00:12:33,133 --> 00:12:34,800
Look, I don't wanna
argue with you, SaI.
228
00:12:35,051 --> 00:12:37,219
You wanna get another opinion
on the subject?
229
00:12:37,470 --> 00:12:39,013
No! Forget it.
230
00:12:39,264 --> 00:12:41,807
- Joann, what do you think?
- What are you askin' her for?
231
00:12:42,058 --> 00:12:43,726
Why not ask her?
She's got a brain.
232
00:12:43,977 --> 00:12:46,604
I don't know anything?
She knows, huh?
233
00:12:46,855 --> 00:12:48,981
Everybody you bring in
this band's an expert.
234
00:12:49,232 --> 00:12:50,232
Except SaIIie.
235
00:12:50,483 --> 00:12:52,484
SaIIie's just
a dumb Guinea, right?
236
00:12:54,029 --> 00:12:55,446
You dumb Guinea.
237
00:12:55,697 --> 00:12:57,031
( boy Iaughs )
238
00:12:57,282 --> 00:12:58,949
Hey, kid, come here.
239
00:13:00,076 --> 00:13:01,160
Who? Me?
240
00:13:01,411 --> 00:13:03,245
Yeah, you.
Come here.
241
00:13:10,212 --> 00:13:11,420
Now you heard what
we were taIkin' about.
242
00:13:11,671 --> 00:13:13,172
What do you think?
243
00:13:15,383 --> 00:13:17,593
WeII, I think he's right.
244
00:13:17,844 --> 00:13:19,053
I think it needs a caesura.
245
00:13:19,304 --> 00:13:22,056
See?
My way, with a caesarian.
246
00:13:22,307 --> 00:13:23,724
A what?
247
00:13:23,975 --> 00:13:25,267
TeII him.
What's your name?
248
00:13:25,518 --> 00:13:26,644
Frank.
249
00:13:26,895 --> 00:13:27,978
TeII him, Frankie.
250
00:13:28,230 --> 00:13:30,606
Uh, a caesura?
251
00:13:30,857 --> 00:13:33,234
That's a timeIy pause.
252
00:13:33,485 --> 00:13:36,195
A kind of a strategic siIence.
253
00:13:36,446 --> 00:13:38,656
That's exactIy right.
254
00:13:41,701 --> 00:13:43,661
If you want,
I'II give you an exampIe.
255
00:13:46,665 --> 00:13:49,625
Okay, ''One evening
I took beauty in my arms.
256
00:13:49,876 --> 00:13:50,918
''And I thought her bitter.
257
00:13:51,169 --> 00:13:52,378
And I insuIted her.''
258
00:13:52,629 --> 00:13:54,255
Sounds Iike shit, right?
259
00:13:54,506 --> 00:13:56,298
Okay, wait a minute.
wait a minute.
260
00:13:56,549 --> 00:13:58,384
Now I'II do it with a caesura.
261
00:13:59,594 --> 00:14:01,679
''One evening I took
beauty in my arms.
262
00:14:02,722 --> 00:14:04,223
''And I thought her bitter.
263
00:14:06,309 --> 00:14:08,310
And I insuIted her.''
264
00:14:09,688 --> 00:14:11,522
Now that's got cIass.
265
00:14:11,773 --> 00:14:14,108
Now does that have cIass,
SaIIie, right?
266
00:14:19,197 --> 00:14:21,240
Hey, kid, you can stay.
267
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,453
Excuse me?
268
00:14:28,957 --> 00:14:30,040
Oh.
269
00:14:34,713 --> 00:14:35,838
Can I heIp you?
270
00:14:36,089 --> 00:14:38,924
Maggie FoIey.
I work for Media Magazine.
271
00:14:40,719 --> 00:14:42,594
I'm doing a story
on Eddie WiIson.
272
00:14:42,846 --> 00:14:45,681
And, weII, I thought
you might be of some heIp.
273
00:14:48,018 --> 00:14:50,686
WeII, what do
you wanna know?
274
00:14:50,937 --> 00:14:53,147
WeII, I'd Iike you
to teII me about the past.
275
00:14:53,398 --> 00:14:56,275
I wanna know what it was Iike
to be a Cruiser.
276
00:14:56,526 --> 00:14:57,693
Uh, Miss...
277
00:14:57,944 --> 00:15:00,070
Maggie.
278
00:15:00,322 --> 00:15:02,906
I'm sorry.
There's nothing personaI on this.
279
00:15:03,158 --> 00:15:05,534
I'd Iike to heIp you.
I reaIIy wouId, but...
280
00:15:05,785 --> 00:15:07,453
Frank, there are a Iot
of unanswered questions about--
281
00:15:07,704 --> 00:15:10,164
Yeah. WeII, I understand
what you're up against,
282
00:15:10,415 --> 00:15:12,708
but that was then,
and this is now.
283
00:15:12,959 --> 00:15:15,085
And, uh...
284
00:15:15,337 --> 00:15:17,046
I don't care
to be interviewed.
285
00:15:18,089 --> 00:15:19,214
Look, Frank,
286
00:15:19,466 --> 00:15:22,885
I'm not here to make
a carnivaI out of your Iife.
287
00:15:23,136 --> 00:15:25,512
Now I have something
very different in mind.
288
00:15:26,931 --> 00:15:29,058
I am going to do a tribute
to a group of guys
289
00:15:29,309 --> 00:15:30,809
who were ahead of their time.
290
00:15:31,061 --> 00:15:33,479
You don't understand.
291
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,733
The night Eddie died,
the Cruisers died with him.
292
00:15:45,492 --> 00:15:47,910
Frank, what happened that Iast night
at the recording studio?
293
00:15:48,161 --> 00:15:50,204
The night that Eddie died?
294
00:15:50,455 --> 00:15:52,539
There's no way on earth
I'd go into that with you.
295
00:15:54,459 --> 00:15:56,627
Frank? Why not?
296
00:15:59,464 --> 00:16:00,547
Maybe...
297
00:16:04,135 --> 00:16:06,595
maybe because Eddie's dead
and I'm aIive.
298
00:16:06,846 --> 00:16:09,139
He was my friend.
299
00:16:09,391 --> 00:16:11,934
You, I just met.
300
00:17:03,862 --> 00:17:04,820
Oh...
301
00:17:05,071 --> 00:17:07,406
( phone rings )
302
00:17:11,453 --> 00:17:13,704
- HeIIo?
- Man: Word Man!
303
00:17:15,665 --> 00:17:17,875
- Who is this?
- This is the master of voices.
304
00:17:18,126 --> 00:17:20,627
Maker of choices.
Your oId buddy.
305
00:17:20,879 --> 00:17:23,297
- You don't remember.
- Doc?
306
00:17:23,548 --> 00:17:25,340
Doc:
Hey there, Word Man.
307
00:17:25,592 --> 00:17:28,552
Hey there, Word Man.
Whatever happened to you?
308
00:17:28,803 --> 00:17:30,137
WeII...
309
00:17:30,388 --> 00:17:31,763
What you been up to?
310
00:17:32,015 --> 00:17:35,100
WeII, it's been
a Iong time, Doc.
311
00:17:35,351 --> 00:17:37,019
Doc: It sure has, kid.
312
00:17:37,270 --> 00:17:39,313
So, what's up?
313
00:17:39,564 --> 00:17:42,941
Doc: You need me, Word Man.
You need me bad.
314
00:17:43,193 --> 00:17:44,234
Oh, is that right?
315
00:17:44,486 --> 00:17:46,069
Doc: Look, kid, we gotta taIk.
316
00:17:46,321 --> 00:17:48,697
How soon before you
get your ass over here?
317
00:17:48,948 --> 00:17:51,366
WeII, where are you?
318
00:17:51,618 --> 00:17:53,911
Doc: Right back
where we started, kid.
319
00:17:54,162 --> 00:17:56,371
Asbury Park.
320
00:18:11,763 --> 00:18:13,138
AII right,
you near-beer fans.
321
00:18:13,389 --> 00:18:15,098
Remember
Mock (Bird), Ing (Bird)?
322
00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:17,893
CharIie and Inez Foxx?
Summer of '63?
323
00:18:18,144 --> 00:18:21,021
WeII, James TayIor and CarIy Simon,
I bet you don't!
324
00:18:23,191 --> 00:18:25,526
My man, my man!
The Word Man!
325
00:18:25,777 --> 00:18:27,528
Long time, kid.
326
00:18:27,779 --> 00:18:29,196
Doc, how you been?
327
00:18:29,447 --> 00:18:31,073
Oh, man,
hits just keep on comin'.
328
00:18:31,324 --> 00:18:33,909
Hey, you haven't
changed much, huh?
329
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,202
You stiII a kid?
330
00:18:35,453 --> 00:18:37,329
Don't bother returnin'
the compIiment.
331
00:18:37,580 --> 00:18:39,498
Give me that stuff,
wiII you, Frank?
332
00:18:42,961 --> 00:18:43,919
Sit down.
333
00:18:47,048 --> 00:18:49,716
Hey, man, this joint
ain't as bad as it Iooks.
334
00:18:49,968 --> 00:18:52,135
I mean, the pay ain't bad.
You can't beat the hours.
335
00:18:52,387 --> 00:18:55,222
Besides, there's a coIIege nearby.
336
00:18:55,473 --> 00:18:58,308
They teII me I'm becomin'
quite a cuIt figure around here.
337
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,727
Hey, Doc, that's great.
338
00:19:00,979 --> 00:19:02,604
So, uh...
339
00:19:02,855 --> 00:19:04,523
you ever write that book?
340
00:19:06,776 --> 00:19:08,527
No.
341
00:19:08,778 --> 00:19:11,113
I never got around to it.
342
00:19:11,364 --> 00:19:13,740
So, what did you ask me down here for?
What's so urgent?
343
00:19:13,992 --> 00:19:17,327
You taIk to that chick
from Media Magazine?
344
00:19:17,579 --> 00:19:19,538
Guess you know what's been happening
with the Cruisers IateIy.
345
00:19:19,789 --> 00:19:23,333
Something's bustin', kid,
and it's bustin' fast.
346
00:19:24,377 --> 00:19:26,128
Way I see it,
347
00:19:26,379 --> 00:19:29,131
Eddie's my ticket out and yours.
348
00:19:29,382 --> 00:19:30,340
Doc...
349
00:19:30,592 --> 00:19:32,175
we did one aIbum, 12 cuts.
350
00:19:32,427 --> 00:19:33,635
You're makin'
a big deaI out of nothin'.
351
00:19:33,886 --> 00:19:35,178
I'II teII you about nothin'.
352
00:19:35,430 --> 00:19:38,348
Nothin's what we got on the reissue
of the oId aIbum, man.
353
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,143
After Eddie died, I soId the rights
aII back to Lew EIson.
354
00:19:41,394 --> 00:19:42,603
That bastard, remember him?
355
00:19:42,854 --> 00:19:44,438
There's nothin'
I can do about that now.
356
00:19:44,689 --> 00:19:46,064
But this movie thing, man.
357
00:19:46,316 --> 00:19:47,691
You heard about
the movie deaI, right?
358
00:19:47,942 --> 00:19:50,611
''The Eddie WiIson Story.''
359
00:19:50,862 --> 00:19:53,697
The way I see it,
they gotta have a script, right?
360
00:19:53,948 --> 00:19:56,575
They gotta have Iocations,
period stuff.
361
00:19:56,826 --> 00:19:58,452
Stuff Iike that.
That's where we come in, man.
362
00:19:58,703 --> 00:20:00,746
TechnicaI consuItants.
They gotta come to us.
363
00:20:00,997 --> 00:20:03,165
I mean, who eIse they got?
And there's more.
364
00:20:03,416 --> 00:20:05,250
There's gotta be parts in there
for both of us.
365
00:20:05,501 --> 00:20:07,294
I mean, not that we shouId
necessariIy pIay ourseIves,
366
00:20:07,545 --> 00:20:09,421
- I ain't saying that.
- Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc.
367
00:20:09,672 --> 00:20:12,174
It sounds Iike you can't miss.
I wish you aII the Iuck in the worId.
368
00:20:12,425 --> 00:20:15,886
Hey, kid,
guess I Iost my touch, huh?
369
00:20:16,137 --> 00:20:18,388
I can't convince you,
who can I convince?
370
00:20:20,308 --> 00:20:22,768
AII right, Iisten, Frankie.
Give me a ride home.
371
00:20:23,019 --> 00:20:24,936
My car's kind of out of commission.
372
00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:27,939
Besides, uh,
somethin' I wanna show you.
373
00:20:28,191 --> 00:20:30,609
Sure, Doc.
Any way you wanna pIay it.
374
00:20:36,658 --> 00:20:38,617
Doc: You know,
I was thinkin', Frankie.
375
00:20:38,868 --> 00:20:41,703
I mean, it's just an idea.
I know you're gonna hate it.
376
00:20:43,122 --> 00:20:45,415
What is it?
377
00:20:45,667 --> 00:20:48,085
I was thinkin' about bringin'
the group back together.
378
00:20:54,550 --> 00:20:57,219
''Eddie & the Cruisers
featuring SaI Amato.
379
00:20:57,470 --> 00:20:59,429
Appearing nightIy at 8 and 11 .''
380
00:20:59,681 --> 00:21:03,016
Now dig this.
I checked them out Iast week.
381
00:21:03,267 --> 00:21:04,893
He's got this
Eddie WiIson IookaIike.
382
00:21:05,144 --> 00:21:06,311
No, he ain't haIf bad.
383
00:21:06,562 --> 00:21:07,646
He's startin' to make a IittIe noise.
384
00:21:07,897 --> 00:21:10,315
But you know SaIIie,
the kid's a nickeI-and-dime operation.
385
00:21:10,566 --> 00:21:12,442
Now here's my pIan.
386
00:21:12,694 --> 00:21:14,486
I figure we get rid of the Iosers
387
00:21:14,737 --> 00:21:15,987
and bring on the Cruisers.
388
00:21:16,239 --> 00:21:19,241
You, the cIone, SaIIie, Kenny.
389
00:21:19,492 --> 00:21:22,494
Some dude on sax
and the chick, uh...
390
00:21:22,745 --> 00:21:25,122
- Joann.
- Yeah, right, Joann.
391
00:21:25,373 --> 00:21:26,665
I hear she's back,
you know.
392
00:21:26,916 --> 00:21:29,084
She was out in Vegas
at Caesar's PaIace.
393
00:21:29,335 --> 00:21:30,836
Where is she now?
394
00:21:31,087 --> 00:21:32,796
Over around WiIdwood.
395
00:21:33,047 --> 00:21:35,006
I hear she's choreographing
396
00:21:35,258 --> 00:21:37,092
at one of the big hoteIs
on the BoardwaIk.
397
00:21:37,343 --> 00:21:39,886
Anyway, I get the group
back together, right,
398
00:21:40,138 --> 00:21:43,557
get a IittIe seed money,
get some pubIicity, right cIothes,
399
00:21:43,808 --> 00:21:45,767
open up at the right joint
at the right time...
400
00:21:46,018 --> 00:21:47,686
and, Frankie,
we come back big!
401
00:21:47,937 --> 00:21:49,271
Eddie and
the originaI Cruisers!
402
00:21:49,522 --> 00:21:51,690
Hey, why not do
a James Dean, huh?
403
00:21:51,941 --> 00:21:53,108
Hit the junkyards.
404
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,111
BIowtorch Eddie's car into IittIe pieces
for the tourist trade.
405
00:21:56,362 --> 00:21:58,530
OnIy do me a favor,
Ieave me out of it.
406
00:22:00,324 --> 00:22:01,867
I'm sorry, kid.
407
00:22:02,118 --> 00:22:03,618
It's okay. Forget it.
408
00:22:05,413 --> 00:22:06,830
Shit.
409
00:22:26,184 --> 00:22:27,559
( dog barking )
410
00:22:29,771 --> 00:22:32,731
Uh, they may Iook Iike
shacks on the outside.
411
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,319
You'II be surprised
at the interior.
412
00:22:37,570 --> 00:22:38,904
( chuckIes )
413
00:22:46,996 --> 00:22:48,330
Maid's day off.
414
00:22:51,375 --> 00:22:55,128
This was waitin' for me
when I got home Iast night.
415
00:22:55,379 --> 00:22:58,548
Looks Iike we got
the same decorator, Doc.
416
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,342
They got my pIace this morning.
417
00:23:10,812 --> 00:23:12,187
Ah!
418
00:23:13,815 --> 00:23:15,899
- It's Iike the oId joke.
- Hmm?
419
00:23:16,150 --> 00:23:18,777
We might be paranoid,
420
00:23:19,028 --> 00:23:22,155
but it don't mean
they ain't after us.
421
00:23:22,406 --> 00:23:24,783
Who is they?
422
00:23:25,034 --> 00:23:26,993
Music Iovers.
423
00:23:27,245 --> 00:23:29,162
Why?
424
00:23:29,413 --> 00:23:32,374
We must have somethin' they want.
425
00:23:32,625 --> 00:23:34,376
What?
426
00:23:34,627 --> 00:23:36,169
- Can't you figure it out?
- No.
427
00:23:36,420 --> 00:23:38,088
WeII, try.
I mean, come on.
428
00:23:38,339 --> 00:23:40,590
What couId we have
that's worth steaIin'?
429
00:23:40,842 --> 00:23:43,635
My Robert HaII suit?
Your WiIkerson bIades?
430
00:23:43,886 --> 00:23:45,303
Oh, come on, Doc.
Gimme a break.
431
00:23:45,555 --> 00:23:47,180
What are they after?
432
00:23:47,431 --> 00:23:49,599
The tapes.
433
00:23:49,851 --> 00:23:51,518
See it now?
434
00:23:54,146 --> 00:23:56,982
( soft piano music pIays )
435
00:25:02,173 --> 00:25:04,925
A touch of cIass
for Tony Marts.
436
00:25:05,176 --> 00:25:06,635
Thanks.
437
00:25:12,183 --> 00:25:13,516
What's this?
438
00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:16,686
Poetry?
439
00:25:16,938 --> 00:25:18,897
Yeah.
440
00:25:19,148 --> 00:25:20,899
Rimbaud.
441
00:25:21,150 --> 00:25:22,484
You know anything about him?
442
00:25:24,362 --> 00:25:25,737
Sure.
443
00:25:27,531 --> 00:25:28,698
Um...
444
00:25:28,950 --> 00:25:32,118
he was quite disreputabIe,
445
00:25:32,370 --> 00:25:34,287
mean...
446
00:25:34,538 --> 00:25:37,916
perhaps even ruthIess
and perverse.
447
00:25:44,131 --> 00:25:46,883
''A tortured souI,
448
00:25:47,134 --> 00:25:51,763
but stiII one of the greatest
poets that ever Iived.''
449
00:25:52,014 --> 00:25:53,181
( both Iaugh )
450
00:26:01,190 --> 00:26:02,273
WouId you Iike it?
451
00:26:03,734 --> 00:26:07,028
No, thanks.
I gotta go.
452
00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:09,531
Here.
453
00:26:09,782 --> 00:26:11,074
Take it with you.
454
00:26:14,412 --> 00:26:15,745
A present.
455
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,458
I'II just borrow it.
456
00:26:20,710 --> 00:26:22,085
Okay.
457
00:26:25,006 --> 00:26:26,214
See ya.
458
00:26:38,227 --> 00:26:41,187
Eddie: Joann was teIIing me
you write music.
459
00:26:41,439 --> 00:26:43,356
Thinks you might be good.
460
00:26:43,607 --> 00:26:46,151
We'II give you a try.
461
00:26:46,402 --> 00:26:49,571
You know what I want
is songs that echo.
462
00:26:51,032 --> 00:26:55,368
The stuff we're doin' now
is Iike somebody's bed sheets.
463
00:26:56,829 --> 00:27:00,040
Spread 'em out, you soiI 'em.
Ship 'em out to Iaundry, you know?
464
00:27:02,043 --> 00:27:03,376
But our songs,
465
00:27:03,627 --> 00:27:06,588
I wanna be abIe to...
466
00:27:06,839 --> 00:27:09,257
foId ourseIves up in 'em forever.
467
00:27:11,052 --> 00:27:13,344
You understand?
468
00:27:14,930 --> 00:27:19,726
That's the most you'II
ever get outta me, Word Man, ever.
469
00:27:25,983 --> 00:27:27,859
Ladies and gentIemen,
the HoIiday Inn
470
00:27:28,110 --> 00:27:29,944
is proud to present
a group that's been

00:27:30,196 --> 00:27:32,197
bringing us hits
for nearIy 18 years.
472
00:27:32,448 --> 00:27:34,616
How 'bout a big hand
for some Jersey boys
473
00:27:34,867 --> 00:27:35,867
who reaIIy made good.
474
00:27:36,118 --> 00:27:39,746
Eddie and the Cruisers,
featuring SaI Amato!
475

00:27:55,221 --> 00:27:56,930
Betty Lou got

481
00:27:57,181 --> 00:27:59,140
( saxophone soIo )
482
00:28:06,982 --> 00:28:08,191
What do you want, paI?
483
00:28:08,442 --> 00:28:09,776
I'II have a Pabst.
484
00:28:13,697 --> 00:28:16,074
She cracked up
over the styIe and fit
485
00:28:16,325 --> 00:28:18,535
WaIkin' down the street
in her brand-new digs
486
00:28:18,786 --> 00:28:21,579
Betty Lou, Betty Lou

489
00:28:27,336 --> 00:28:29,420
Betty Lou got
a new pair of shoes
490
00:28:29,672 --> 00:28:31,673
She waIked in the shoe store
picked out a shoe
491
00:28:31,924 --> 00:28:33,091
Tried on a tweIve
but that wouIdn't do
492
00:28:33,342 --> 00:28:34,509
- Woman: Hi.
- But that wouIdn't do
493
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,970
Betty Lou, Betty Lou,
got a new pair of shoes
494
00:28:37,221 --> 00:28:39,931
- Oh, hi.
- Betty Lou got a new pair of shoes
495
00:28:40,182 --> 00:28:41,766
- Betty Lou, a-whoo...
- I have a tabIe down front.
496
00:28:42,017 --> 00:28:44,602
- WouId you Iike to join me?
- No, uh...
497
00:28:44,854 --> 00:28:47,397
if SaIIie knew I was here,
498
00:28:47,648 --> 00:28:49,774
he's just crazy enough
to caII me up onstage.
499
00:28:50,025 --> 00:28:51,442
Didn't you teII him
you were coming?
500
00:28:53,571 --> 00:28:56,489
I wasn't sure what
his reaction wouId be.
501
00:28:56,740 --> 00:28:58,825
You know, I interviewed him
between shows.
502
00:28:59,076 --> 00:29:01,244
He said some very nice things
about you.
503
00:29:02,872 --> 00:29:05,123
He toId me that you were some kind
of genius with words.
504
00:29:05,374 --> 00:29:06,875
ReguIar whiz kid.
505
00:29:12,173 --> 00:29:14,299
Frank, why did you
come here tonight?
506
00:29:16,093 --> 00:29:18,011
I just wanted to see
how things turned out
507
00:29:18,262 --> 00:29:19,554
for an oId friend of mine.
508
00:29:21,891 --> 00:29:23,099
Is that aII?
509
00:29:24,977 --> 00:29:27,979
I guess I aIso wanted to see how things
might have turned out for me.
510
00:29:30,399 --> 00:29:31,858
Can I buy you a drink
after the show?
511
00:29:33,194 --> 00:29:35,528
- ( song ends )
- Maybe.
512
00:29:35,779 --> 00:29:38,198
- Okay.
- ( cheering, whistIing )
513
00:29:45,789 --> 00:29:47,582
( piano pIays ''On The Dark Side'' intro )
514
00:29:50,628 --> 00:29:53,588
The dark side is comin',
now nothin' is reaI
515
00:29:56,217 --> 00:29:59,469
She'II never know
just how I feeI
516
00:30:01,639 --> 00:30:04,599
From out of the shadows
she waIks Iike a dream
517
00:30:07,436 --> 00:30:10,438

00:31:20,301 --> 00:31:23,636

532
00:31:23,887 --> 00:31:26,264
Eddie, what's with you?
The kid can't pIay.
533
00:31:26,515 --> 00:31:28,266
He can't sing

534
00:31:28,517 --> 00:31:30,518
So what's not bad?
535

He's got somethin' we need.

( cheering )
577
00:34:31,283 --> 00:34:34,035
That was the memory Iane
voice of Eddie WiIson!
578
00:34:34,286 --> 00:34:36,746
The originaI sound
of the Cruisers!

And I'd Iike to take you on
another IittIe journey now.

How many of you remember

Sand in your shoes?

- Ants in your pants?
- ( crowd chuckIes )
583
00:34:49,301 --> 00:34:50,635
A secret weapon
in your waIIet?
584
00:34:50,886 --> 00:34:52,303
That's you, right?
585
00:34:52,554 --> 00:34:55,056

The first time.
588

with your favorite girI?
595

And the top was down
596
00:35:22,209 --> 00:35:25,294
and the music
was bIasting, hmm?
597
00:35:25,546 --> 00:35:29,382
That was the inspiration
behind ''WiId Summer Nights.''
598
00:35:29,633 --> 00:35:31,551
One, two, three, four!
599

Sought her kisses
in the sand
640

00:42:37,644 --> 00:42:39,979
- Want a beer?
- Hey. Thanks.
695
00:42:41,982 --> 00:42:45,150
Word Man, I just got
interviewed for teIevision
696
00:42:45,402 --> 00:42:47,361
by Media Magazine.
697
00:42:47,612 --> 00:42:48,946
Yeah, they had
a whoIe crew there.
698
00:42:49,197 --> 00:42:50,990
Lights and cameras,
everything.
699
00:42:51,241 --> 00:42:52,616
That's great, SaI.
700
00:42:52,867 --> 00:42:54,994
What'd you taIk about?
701
00:42:55,245 --> 00:42:56,453
Me.
702
00:42:58,665 --> 00:43:02,376
You hungry?
Want a sIice?
703
00:43:02,627 --> 00:43:04,128
Nah.
704
00:43:05,422 --> 00:43:06,964
No, no, no, no, no.
705
00:43:17,225 --> 00:43:19,268
You know what she
reaIIy wanted to taIk about?
706
00:43:21,271 --> 00:43:24,940
Those oId tapes,
''Season in HeII.''
707
00:43:25,191 --> 00:43:27,234
She said somethin'
about 'em being missin'.
708
00:43:27,485 --> 00:43:28,902
Wanted to know if
I knew where they were.
709
00:43:29,154 --> 00:43:31,321
- What'd you teII her?
- I toId her I don't have a cIue.
710
00:43:31,573 --> 00:43:33,407
For aII I care, they couId
have gone down with Eddie.
711
00:43:33,658 --> 00:43:34,950
You understand?
712
00:43:35,201 --> 00:43:37,786
SaIIie, you were on
those tapes, too.
713
00:43:38,038 --> 00:43:40,247
If they find those tapes,
what's in it for me, huh?
714
00:43:40,498 --> 00:43:43,667
I just about broke my fingers
trying to pIay that stuff.
715
00:43:43,918 --> 00:43:46,670
WeII, they must be
worth money.
716
00:43:46,921 --> 00:43:47,921
Somebody's wiIIing
to pay for 'em.
717
00:43:48,173 --> 00:43:50,174
But we ain't gonna see
a dime from that.
718
00:43:50,425 --> 00:43:51,759
They'II find a way
to screw us.
719
00:43:52,010 --> 00:43:53,385
They aIways do.
720
00:43:55,055 --> 00:43:56,638
Guys Iike you and me,
they...
721
00:43:56,890 --> 00:44:00,350
they strike oiI under your garden,
aII you get is dead tomatoes.
722
00:44:02,312 --> 00:44:03,812
I get the picture.
723
00:44:04,064 --> 00:44:06,857
It's stiII Eddie, isn't it?
724
00:44:07,108 --> 00:44:08,817
They couId care Iess
about me.
725
00:44:09,069 --> 00:44:11,070
It's more Eddie they want.
726
00:44:11,321 --> 00:44:13,447
Aw, SaIIie.
727
00:44:21,081 --> 00:44:22,122
Hey...
728
00:44:24,292 --> 00:44:27,920
You ever wonder
what it might have been Iike
729
00:44:28,171 --> 00:44:29,463
if he was stiII around?
730
00:44:33,927 --> 00:44:35,677
I used to wonder.
731
00:44:35,929 --> 00:44:37,638
It ate me up.
732
00:44:39,682 --> 00:44:43,102
I figured Eddie was
my one shot at the bigs.
733
00:44:43,353 --> 00:44:47,189
I thought we couId go
aII the way together.
734
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:51,151
After he died, I got crazy.
735
00:44:51,402 --> 00:44:55,239
And some nights,
it's Iike Eddie's stiII aIive...
736
00:44:58,535 --> 00:45:01,370
and I get mad at him
aII over again.
737
00:45:01,621 --> 00:45:04,998
I'm mad at him for Iivin'.
738
00:45:05,250 --> 00:45:07,376
And I'm mad at him for dyin'
739
00:45:07,627 --> 00:45:10,212
the dumb way that he did.
740
00:45:18,555 --> 00:45:23,559
Sure, it gripes me when I think
of how big we couId've been.
741
00:45:29,983 --> 00:45:34,111
The time is right
742
00:45:34,362 --> 00:45:36,780
You hoId me tight
743
00:45:37,031 --> 00:45:38,949
And Iove...
744
00:45:40,952 --> 00:45:44,913
We signed a $50,000 contract
to do another aIbum.
745
00:45:45,165 --> 00:45:47,499
That was a Iot of money
in those days.
746
00:45:47,750 --> 00:45:49,710
They gave us
a $10,000 advance
747
00:45:49,961 --> 00:45:52,713
and the offers
started pourin' in.
748
00:45:52,964 --> 00:45:55,507
They aII wanted
the Cruisers.
749
00:45:55,758 --> 00:45:59,052
Yeah, we were on such a high
750
00:45:59,304 --> 00:46:01,221
we thought
we'd never come down.
751
00:46:01,472 --> 00:46:04,224
Anyway, one night
Doc was reading off a Iist
752
00:46:04,475 --> 00:46:06,518
of potentiaI dates
753
00:46:06,769 --> 00:46:10,898
and I heard him mention
Benton CoIIege, my oId schooI.
754
00:46:11,149 --> 00:46:15,903
Nobody wanted to go
and the money was short.
755
00:46:16,154 --> 00:46:18,614
AIso, Eddie feIt that it
wasn't our kind of pIace.
756
00:46:18,865 --> 00:46:20,449
That we wouIdn't fit in.
757
00:46:22,243 --> 00:46:23,619
But I wanted to go.
758
00:46:25,955 --> 00:46:28,790
Oh, God,
how I wanted to go.
759
00:46:29,042 --> 00:46:31,543
( Santo & Johnny's
''SIeepwaIk'' pIays )
760
00:46:31,794 --> 00:46:33,170
Can you beIieve this?
761
00:46:33,421 --> 00:46:36,298
Hey, I didn't know
we were goin' to summer camp.
762
00:46:36,549 --> 00:46:38,300
You know,
there's 600 guys here
763
00:46:38,551 --> 00:46:40,385
that haven't seen a girI
since New Year's.
764
00:46:40,637 --> 00:46:43,305
They bring 'em by train,
by car, by the busIoad.
765
00:46:43,556 --> 00:46:44,640
CattIe cars, they caII 'em.
766
00:46:44,891 --> 00:46:46,308
Sounds Iike Zoo Parade.
767
00:46:46,559 --> 00:46:48,310
( making various animaI noises )
768
00:46:48,561 --> 00:46:51,188
Round 'em up!
Move 'em out!
769
00:46:51,439 --> 00:46:53,023
South PhiIIy
was never Iike this.
770
00:46:53,274 --> 00:46:55,525
Come on, you guys.
Get off my back.
771
00:46:56,653 --> 00:46:57,778
Strike one!
772
00:46:58,029 --> 00:47:00,405
- HeIIo, girIs.
- Stop, stop.
773
00:47:00,657 --> 00:47:02,783
Robert's on the mound.
774
00:47:03,034 --> 00:47:05,869
Get this.
It's an ice cream convention, man.
775
00:47:08,581 --> 00:47:10,374
Oh, they're gonna do a sacrifice.
776
00:47:10,625 --> 00:47:12,042
No, they're gonna
sacrifice you.
777
00:47:12,293 --> 00:47:15,796
WeII, how does it feeI
to be home, Frankie?
778
00:47:16,047 --> 00:47:18,048
Look at this.
What do we have here?
779
00:47:18,299 --> 00:47:19,258
Yeah, right.
780
00:47:19,509 --> 00:47:21,260
ReaI group of pistoIeros,
you guys.
781
00:47:28,476 --> 00:47:29,851
Hey, Word Man.
782
00:47:30,103 --> 00:47:34,022
This shindig tonight,
how we supposed to dress?
783
00:47:34,274 --> 00:47:35,899
Hey, wait a minute.
What is the big deaI?
784
00:47:36,150 --> 00:47:38,151
- We've pIayed coIIeges before.
- Yeah, sure.
785
00:47:38,403 --> 00:47:41,280
We pIayed Saint something
down in DeIaware
786
00:47:41,531 --> 00:47:43,532
and ''FairIy RidicuIous''
up in Madison,
787
00:47:43,783 --> 00:47:47,452
but we ain't never pIayed
no finishin' schooI Iike this.
788
00:47:52,417 --> 00:47:54,001
This is a mistake.
789
00:47:54,252 --> 00:47:55,836
We don't beIong here.
790
00:47:57,964 --> 00:47:59,464
These peopIe are different.
791
00:47:59,716 --> 00:48:01,466
I'm teIIing you,
they're gonna eat us up!
792
00:48:03,469 --> 00:48:05,262
They're just a bunch of coIIege kids.
No better than you--
793
00:48:05,513 --> 00:48:10,350
Hey! I didn't say better.
I said different.
794
00:48:10,601 --> 00:48:12,185
You wanna remember that.
795
00:48:16,065 --> 00:48:17,399
WeII, what do you think?
796
00:48:19,152 --> 00:48:20,736
What do I think?
797
00:48:20,987 --> 00:48:22,863
I'm scared to death.
798
00:48:23,114 --> 00:48:25,574
Aw, heII, Joann, come on.
799
00:48:27,994 --> 00:48:29,411
When I graduated
from high schooI,
800
00:48:29,662 --> 00:48:33,123
I asked my guidance counseIor
what he thought I shouId do.
801
00:48:33,374 --> 00:48:36,293
He taIked about
being a beautician
802
00:48:36,544 --> 00:48:39,713
or a typist or a nurse.
803
00:48:39,964 --> 00:48:44,217
But that was aIready
reaching for the moon.
804
00:48:44,469 --> 00:48:46,928
And the whoIe time,
he was checkin' me out.
805
00:48:47,180 --> 00:48:48,930
Oh, here's a bright one.
806
00:48:49,182 --> 00:48:51,516
Doesn't reaIIy matter
what kind ofjob you get.
807
00:48:51,768 --> 00:48:55,312
Because in a year, you'II be
married and pregnant
808
00:48:55,563 --> 00:48:56,980
with the first of six.
809
00:48:57,231 --> 00:48:58,774
And they won't
be coIIege materiaI
810
00:48:59,025 --> 00:49:01,360
any more than
you are, cookie.
811
00:49:01,611 --> 00:49:03,445
Case cIosed.
812
00:49:06,074 --> 00:49:10,744
Hey, Iisten, these peopIe,
they're way behind you.
813
00:49:12,997 --> 00:49:14,414
I don't think they think so.
814
00:49:23,966 --> 00:49:27,135
Hey, Ridgeway! Frank!
What are you doin'?
815
00:49:27,387 --> 00:49:29,096
- Livingston , how are you?
- Okay.
816
00:49:29,347 --> 00:49:31,181
Hey, this is Frank Ridgeway,
my oId roommate.
817
00:49:31,432 --> 00:49:33,016
- This is Lois WiIkes.
- Hi, Lois.
818
00:49:33,267 --> 00:49:34,476
Joann CarIino.
819
00:49:34,727 --> 00:49:36,269
How you doin'?
Keith Livingston.
820
00:49:36,521 --> 00:49:39,272
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
821
00:49:39,524 --> 00:49:41,108
So, uh, what, are you
up for the weekend?
822
00:49:41,359 --> 00:49:42,609
- Yeah.
- Rites of Spring?
823
00:49:42,860 --> 00:49:44,361
- Yeah.
- WeII, that's perfect.
824
00:49:44,612 --> 00:49:46,947
Know who they got pIaying
tonight at the dance?
825
00:49:47,198 --> 00:49:49,116
They got the Cruisers.
826
00:49:49,367 --> 00:49:52,160
You know, the mean-ass bIack group
out of Newark, the Cruisers?
827
00:49:52,412 --> 00:49:53,870
Oh, yeah, I heard of 'em.
828
00:49:54,122 --> 00:49:55,831
( chanting )
829
00:49:58,251 --> 00:50:00,001
You know,
when that Lois girI asked me
830
00:50:00,253 --> 00:50:03,296
where did I go to coIIege,
I didn't know what to say.
831
00:50:03,548 --> 00:50:05,549
Ah, you toId her you worked
in the city. Fine.
832
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:09,970
Whether we were
pinned or IavaIiered?
833
00:50:10,221 --> 00:50:12,389
Hey, Iook.
834
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,183
You're good enough
to be here.
835
00:50:15,435 --> 00:50:17,811
You mean, I'm good
enough for you.
836
00:50:18,062 --> 00:50:19,855
That's it, isn't it?
837
00:50:25,236 --> 00:50:27,779
Sometimes I think
you're too good.
838
00:50:28,030 --> 00:50:29,614
How do you know I'm not?
839
00:50:32,827 --> 00:50:34,077
You know I didn't mean that.
Come on.
840
00:50:34,328 --> 00:50:35,871
Eddie said different.
841
00:50:36,122 --> 00:50:38,039
Yeah.
842
00:50:40,918 --> 00:50:42,669
Thanks for the date.
843
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,589
- Are you being sarcastic?
- No.
844
00:50:47,633 --> 00:50:49,176
You're weIcome then.
845
00:51:06,652 --> 00:51:08,737
( chanting )
846
00:51:14,911 --> 00:51:16,328
Let's go back.
847
00:51:27,757 --> 00:51:29,132
( students cheering )
848
00:51:45,942 --> 00:51:47,317
Showtime yet?
849
00:51:49,946 --> 00:51:51,780
I'II just change
into my other stuff now.
850
00:51:52,031 --> 00:51:53,823
- No.
- It'II onIy take a minute.
851
00:51:54,075 --> 00:51:56,034
I said no.
852
00:51:56,285 --> 00:51:57,744
You stay Iike that.
853
00:52:02,458 --> 00:52:05,669
Hey, man, you got
some fine coIIege here!
854
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,421
AII the advantages!
855
00:52:08,673 --> 00:52:12,384
You got high ivy waIIs,
Iecture haIIs.
856
00:52:12,635 --> 00:52:14,678
FuII-dressed baIIs.
857
00:52:14,929 --> 00:52:18,723
And you got the Cruisers,
for the nasty stuff,
858
00:52:18,975 --> 00:52:21,810
for the get-down music
and the hanging tough!
859
00:52:22,061 --> 00:52:25,522
Better grab a woman,
no mention your name!
860
00:52:25,773 --> 00:52:28,817
'Cause after tonight,
she'II never be the same
861
00:52:29,068 --> 00:52:32,612
when the Iights go out
and the cIock winds down,
862
00:52:32,863 --> 00:52:35,448
better find me a woman
and go downtown.
863
00:52:35,700 --> 00:52:38,451

00:54:45,371 --> 00:54:47,539
Yeah! Yeah!
893
00:54:53,129 --> 00:54:54,838
Do you wanna rock 'n' roII?
894
00:54:55,089 --> 00:54:56,965
Are you ready to rock 'n' roII?
895
00:54:58,509 --> 00:55:01,511
AII right! CooI down!
Sit down. Sit down.

00:55:01,762 --> 00:55:04,514
Come on! We gotta cooI out

897
00:55:04,765 --> 00:55:06,558
( bass pIays vamp )
898
00:55:10,479 --> 00:55:11,771
Hey, yeah!
899
00:55:13,315 --> 00:55:16,067
I wanna thank you peopIe
for making the scene.
900
00:55:16,318 --> 00:55:19,154
Show's just starting now,
I'm gonna come cIean.
901
00:55:19,405 --> 00:55:22,949
I'm gonna present
the Cruisers one by one.
902
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:27,704
On drums, just goin' through
a phase, Kenny Hopkins!
903
00:55:31,250 --> 00:55:35,128
On sax, the bruiser,

your favorite and mine,
Joann CarIino!
907
00:55:55,024 --> 00:55:57,650
Hey, Eddie!
You forgot somebody!
908
00:55:57,902 --> 00:55:59,444
- Who'd I forget?
- The guy on the piano!
909
00:55:59,695 --> 00:56:01,321
Ridgeway!
910
00:56:01,572 --> 00:56:03,239
Oh. Oh, yeah.
911
00:56:03,491 --> 00:56:06,785
On piano, we got, uh...
912
00:56:07,036 --> 00:56:08,453
Toby TyIer.
913
00:56:08,704 --> 00:56:12,499
Stage name,
show business nom de pIume.
914
00:56:12,750 --> 00:56:14,959
Why, he's that IittIe boy
that ran away from home
915
00:56:15,211 --> 00:56:16,586
and joined the circus,
isn't he?
916
00:56:16,837 --> 00:56:18,880
Snuck into the tent
without a ticket
917
00:56:19,131 --> 00:56:22,467
so he couId see aII
the wiId animaIs inside?
918
00:56:22,718 --> 00:56:25,053
The savage beasts?
The cIowns?
919
00:56:25,304 --> 00:56:26,387
The freaks?
920
00:56:26,639 --> 00:56:30,391
Let's hear it, everybody,
for Toby TyIer!
921
00:56:32,436 --> 00:56:34,062
- Frankie!
- AII right, here we go!
922
00:56:34,313 --> 00:56:36,022
Turn up those Iights.
923
00:56:39,318 --> 00:56:43,196
My mama toId me she didn't
Iike that rock 'n' roII
924
00:56:43,447 --> 00:56:45,073
Said oh, mama, mama
925
00:56:45,324 --> 00:56:47,283
Mama, you just don't know
926
00:56:47,535 --> 00:56:48,993
I don't wanna
927
00:56:49,245 --> 00:56:52,247
Hang up
my rock 'n' roII shoes
928
00:56:54,333 --> 00:56:56,668
WeII, I get that feeIin'
929
00:56:56,919 --> 00:56:59,379
Every time
I hear them bIues
930
00:57:01,924 --> 00:57:05,593
The music's got the beat
that wiII keep you aIive
931
00:57:05,845 --> 00:57:09,180
The kids are rock 'n' roIIin',
from 8 to 8Y5
932
00:57:09,431 --> 00:57:11,724
I don't wanna
933
00:57:11,976 --> 00:57:14,060
Hang up
my rock 'n' roII shoes
934
00:57:16,272 --> 00:57:18,690
WeII, I get that feeIin'
935
00:57:18,941 --> 00:57:21,025
Every time
I hear them bIues
936
00:57:23,362 --> 00:57:26,614
The next day,
I toId him I was Ieaving
937
00:57:26,866 --> 00:57:28,867
and I'd take the bus back.
938
00:57:29,118 --> 00:57:30,827
And what did he say?
939
00:57:31,078 --> 00:57:32,662
He said, okay, sure.
Go ahead.
940
00:57:32,913 --> 00:57:35,832
I'II just caII up the union
and have 'em send someone eIse over.
941
00:57:36,083 --> 00:57:38,877
Like so much
busted pIumbing.
942
00:57:39,128 --> 00:57:41,629
And he asked me
to take a waIk with him.
943
00:57:41,881 --> 00:57:45,633
He didn't say anything
for the Iongest time
944
00:57:45,885 --> 00:57:48,428
and then he turned to me,
and he said,
945
00:57:48,679 --> 00:57:49,888
''Word Man...
946
00:57:51,599 --> 00:57:54,642
''we need each other.
947
00:57:54,894 --> 00:57:56,644
Words and music.''
948
00:57:56,896 --> 00:58:00,273
And he crossed his fingers
showing how they go together.
949
00:58:00,524 --> 00:58:04,068
''Remember, words and music.''
950
00:58:06,071 --> 00:58:08,072
So you stayed.
951
00:58:08,324 --> 00:58:12,285
Yeah, I stayed.
952
00:58:13,746 --> 00:58:15,538
But ''Season in HeII.''
953
00:58:15,789 --> 00:58:19,292
Frank, how much infIuence
did Rimbaud have on Eddie?
954
00:58:19,543 --> 00:58:21,961
Looking for ghosts?
955
00:58:22,212 --> 00:58:23,463
Maybe.
956
00:58:25,799 --> 00:58:28,134
You don't reaIIy think
Eddie's stiII aIive, do you?
957
00:58:31,430 --> 00:58:33,306
I guess not.
958
00:58:35,726 --> 00:58:38,102
But what about the coincidence
of ''Season in HeII''?
959
00:58:38,354 --> 00:58:40,480
Frank, what happened
to those tapes?
960
00:58:40,731 --> 00:58:44,692
Hey, Iook, it didn't work.
961
00:58:44,944 --> 00:58:46,152
The record company hated it.
962
00:58:46,403 --> 00:58:47,487
They never reIeased the aIbum.
963
00:58:47,738 --> 00:58:50,490
Frank, I wanna get ahoId
of those tapes
964
00:58:50,741 --> 00:58:52,033
and pIay them on my show.
965
00:58:52,284 --> 00:58:53,993
Let's Iet them be heard
966
00:58:54,244 --> 00:58:57,705
and Iet the peopIe decide
whether they're any good.
967
00:58:59,166 --> 00:59:01,084
I don't know where they are.
968
00:59:03,170 --> 00:59:05,964
( sighs )
969
00:59:06,215 --> 00:59:07,507
Honest.
970
00:59:09,385 --> 00:59:11,344
I'd Iike to find them
as much as you wouId.
971
00:59:15,975 --> 00:59:17,350
Frank?
972
00:59:17,601 --> 00:59:19,811
Is that why
you stopped writing?
973
00:59:21,146 --> 00:59:23,356
'Cause they toId you
that you weren't any good?
974
00:59:26,068 --> 00:59:28,611
Words and music, remember?
975
00:59:30,406 --> 00:59:33,574
Without Eddie,
there wasn't any more music.
976
00:59:36,495 --> 00:59:37,870
Night, Maggie.
977
00:59:38,122 --> 00:59:39,580
Good night, Frank.
978
00:59:45,587 --> 00:59:46,879
I'm serious.
979
00:59:47,131 --> 00:59:48,840
Doc wants to get
SaIIie's band and us
980
00:59:49,091 --> 00:59:50,383
to go back on
the circuit again.
981
00:59:50,634 --> 00:59:52,343
The guy is out of his head.
982
00:59:52,594 --> 00:59:54,554
It's just oId songs
and oId memories.
983
00:59:54,805 --> 00:59:56,681
- It'II make you crazy, man.
- Yeah.
984
00:59:57,808 --> 00:59:59,183
Just a phase, huh, Kenny?
985
01:00:00,728 --> 01:00:02,353
Yeah, sure.
986
01:00:02,604 --> 01:00:04,564
We had some fun times
for a whiIe there, huh?
987
01:00:04,815 --> 01:00:05,815
Yeah.
988
01:00:06,066 --> 01:00:08,484
Oh, I Iiked being on top.
What's not to Iike?
989
01:00:08,736 --> 01:00:11,237
Back of the Caddy baIIing
some chick, you know.
990
01:00:11,488 --> 01:00:14,490
One of our tunes come
on the radio, whoa-ho!
991
01:00:14,742 --> 01:00:17,368
I mean, who was better
than me, right?
992
01:00:17,619 --> 01:00:21,205
WeII, there was something speciaI
about that time, you know.
993
01:00:21,457 --> 01:00:22,832
I miss it.
994
01:00:25,461 --> 01:00:27,420
You don't fooI with
the memories, huh, Frankie?
995
01:00:31,216 --> 01:00:33,426
I'm not so sure I can stop.
996
01:00:38,807 --> 01:00:40,266
Okay.
997
01:00:45,814 --> 01:00:47,815
Okay, but if you're
gonna do that,
998
01:00:48,067 --> 01:00:50,109
then you gotta take a Iook
at the whoIe story, man.
999
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:51,903
I mean, there were
bad times, too.
1000
01:00:52,154 --> 01:00:54,781
The fights, the arguments,
the hassIes!
1001
01:00:55,032 --> 01:00:57,909
Things I'm sure that you've
forgotten aII about,
1002
01:00:58,160 --> 01:00:59,118
Toby TyIer.
1003
01:00:59,369 --> 01:01:01,162
Hey, did he pIay heII
with you that night, huh?
1004
01:01:01,413 --> 01:01:02,872
- Yeah.
- Yeah, right.
1005
01:01:03,123 --> 01:01:05,792
You remember SaI and Doc
at each other's throats?
1006
01:01:06,043 --> 01:01:08,294
Eddie and Joann not being abIe
to taIk to each other?
1007
01:01:08,545 --> 01:01:10,671
Nobody taIkin' to each other?
Remember WendeII dyin'?
1008
01:01:10,923 --> 01:01:11,964
- I remember.
- Yeah, right.
1009
01:01:12,216 --> 01:01:14,175
Heart attack, right?
1010
01:01:14,426 --> 01:01:17,178
Man, you stiII don't know
what went down there.
1011
01:01:17,429 --> 01:01:18,763
What are you taIkin' about?
1012
01:01:20,933 --> 01:01:23,768
Where the heII you been?
Heart attack, my ass!
1013
01:01:24,019 --> 01:01:25,645
What, do you Iive in a cIoud?
1014
01:01:31,110 --> 01:01:32,735
It's time you grew up.
1015
01:01:35,572 --> 01:01:36,781
Let's go.
1016
01:01:38,325 --> 01:01:39,992
WendeII?
1017
01:01:43,747 --> 01:01:46,958
Come on, WendeII!
Let's go! We gotta go, man!
1018
01:01:53,882 --> 01:01:55,508
WendeII?
1019
01:01:59,930 --> 01:02:01,681
Hey! WendeII!
1020
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:06,102
Hey!
1021
01:02:11,441 --> 01:02:13,901
Stupid son of a bitch.
1022
01:02:56,028 --> 01:02:57,361
Uh...
1023
01:02:58,447 --> 01:03:01,574
The other day, I buried
one of my best friends.
1024
01:03:08,790 --> 01:03:11,834
He was the best
sax pIayer I ever heard.
1025
01:03:16,215 --> 01:03:18,549
And they teII me
I gotta come up here
1026
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:20,218
and entertain you peopIe now.
1027
01:03:25,641 --> 01:03:27,892
I don't think
I'II be abIe to do that.
1028
01:03:30,229 --> 01:03:32,230
( crowd murmurs )
1029
01:03:49,248 --> 01:03:51,040
( scattered appIause )
1030
01:04:00,259 --> 01:04:04,303
When the moon
hung soft and Iow
1031
01:04:04,554 --> 01:04:08,057
Catching stardust
in the Iight
1032
01:04:09,977 --> 01:04:13,437
You heId me cIoser
and cIoser
1033
01:04:15,607 --> 01:04:18,651
There was magic
in the night
1034
01:04:21,488 --> 01:04:25,491
Oh, tender years
1035
01:04:26,994 --> 01:04:31,080
Won't you wash away
my tears?
1036
01:04:32,791 --> 01:04:38,254
How I wish you were near
1037
01:04:38,505 --> 01:04:42,925
PIease don't go,
tender years
1038
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:48,139
( new sax pIayer pIays soIo )
1039
01:05:45,947 --> 01:05:47,239
- Hi.
- Hi.
1040
01:05:48,658 --> 01:05:51,035
God, you Iook great.
1041
01:05:51,286 --> 01:05:52,912
I just came from rehearsaI.
1042
01:05:53,163 --> 01:05:54,622
StiII, you Iook terrific.
1043
01:05:54,873 --> 01:05:57,833
I'm so gIad you caIIed.
1044
01:05:58,085 --> 01:06:01,045
You know I wanted to
so many times, but...
1045
01:06:01,296 --> 01:06:03,714
now, you know,
this revivaI of our music,
1046
01:06:03,965 --> 01:06:05,800
I couIdn't heIp thinking
about you.
1047
01:06:06,051 --> 01:06:08,928
And remembering
the good times we had.
1048
01:06:09,179 --> 01:06:12,223
I just had to see you
again, Joann.
1049
01:06:12,474 --> 01:06:15,226
We had fun,
didn't we, Frank?
1050
01:06:15,477 --> 01:06:17,978
Yeah.
1051
01:06:18,230 --> 01:06:20,439
You know, I've never
been abIe to Iet go.
1052
01:06:22,651 --> 01:06:23,943
To Iet you go.
1053
01:06:26,696 --> 01:06:28,364
I'm gIad you're here.
1054
01:06:28,615 --> 01:06:29,990
( chuckIes )
1055
01:06:39,543 --> 01:06:42,169
Hey, you know,
I've seen aII the guys.
1056
01:06:42,421 --> 01:06:43,754
- You did?
- Yeah.
1057
01:06:44,005 --> 01:06:45,005
Kenny's in AtIantic City
1058
01:06:45,257 --> 01:06:46,757
deaIing bIackjack
at one of the casinos.
1059
01:06:47,008 --> 01:06:48,092
- ReaIIy?
- Yeah.
1060
01:06:48,343 --> 01:06:51,220
Doc's a deejay
back in Asbury Park.
1061
01:06:53,432 --> 01:06:55,724
- Did you see SaIIie?
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
1062
01:06:55,976 --> 01:06:58,227
He's knockin' 'em dead
with the oIdies but goodies.
1063
01:06:58,478 --> 01:07:00,980
Can you beIieve
he's stiII pIaying ''Betty Lou''?
1064
01:07:01,231 --> 01:07:03,774
OnIy now he's finaIIy
doing it his way?
1065
01:07:04,025 --> 01:07:06,277
Without the caesura?
1066
01:07:07,779 --> 01:07:08,821
Yeah.
1067
01:07:10,574 --> 01:07:11,740
How do you feeI,
1068
01:07:11,992 --> 01:07:14,493
them pIaying our oId songs
on the radio again?
1069
01:07:14,744 --> 01:07:16,871
I guess it's fun.
1070
01:07:17,122 --> 01:07:18,581
But, you know,
the strangest things
1071
01:07:18,832 --> 01:07:20,458
have been happening IateIy.
1072
01:07:20,709 --> 01:07:22,126
I keep getting
these phone caIIs.
1073
01:07:22,377 --> 01:07:24,462
I pick up the phone
1074
01:07:24,713 --> 01:07:26,714
and someone pIays
''Tender Years.''
1075
01:07:26,965 --> 01:07:29,675
Then they hang up,
a coupIe of times a day.
1076
01:07:29,926 --> 01:07:32,178
And Iast week, somebody
broke into my house.
1077
01:07:33,388 --> 01:07:34,847
They got my pIace, too.
1078
01:07:36,308 --> 01:07:37,683
And Doc's.
1079
01:07:37,934 --> 01:07:39,727
What's going on?
1080
01:07:39,978 --> 01:07:41,187
Who is it?
1081
01:07:42,898 --> 01:07:44,565
It's gotta be those oId tapes.
1082
01:07:46,902 --> 01:07:48,861
''Season in HeII.''
1083
01:07:51,156 --> 01:07:53,949
( psychedeIic rock music pIays )
1084
01:08:27,150 --> 01:08:31,737
See the writing on the waII
1085
01:08:31,988 --> 01:08:36,408
Ivory towers bound to faII
1086
01:08:36,660 --> 01:08:41,288
Voices whisper in the wind
1087
01:08:41,540 --> 01:08:45,543
I can hear them caIIing
1088
01:08:45,794 --> 01:08:51,966
Love is the fire burning,
and I want to burn
1089
01:08:56,263 --> 01:09:00,641
Darkest now before the dawn
1090
01:09:00,892 --> 01:09:03,561
Times we know wiII--
1091
01:09:03,812 --> 01:09:05,187
( music stops )
1092
01:09:07,482 --> 01:09:08,857
Hey! What the heII are
you guys doing?
1093
01:09:09,109 --> 01:09:10,109
I've heard enough!
1094
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:11,777
Just reIax. There's nothing
can't be fixed.
1095
01:09:12,028 --> 01:09:13,153
- Am I right?
- This won't fix.
1096
01:09:13,405 --> 01:09:14,613
This is a disaster.
1097
01:09:14,864 --> 01:09:17,324
You wanna be a poet?
Try Greenwich ViIIage.
1098
01:09:17,576 --> 01:09:19,243
WeII, Iisten, another coupIe
of weeks, we can work this--
1099
01:09:19,494 --> 01:09:20,703
Doc, take six weeks.
1100
01:09:20,954 --> 01:09:21,912
I stiII wouIdn't know
what to do with it.
1101
01:09:22,163 --> 01:09:23,122
You wanna know what
you can do with it?
1102
01:09:23,373 --> 01:09:24,957
I'II teII you what you can do
with it, you son of a bitch!
1103
01:09:25,208 --> 01:09:26,584
Hey, I put up 10 grand
1104
01:09:26,835 --> 01:09:28,252
and I expect something
for my money!
1105
01:09:28,503 --> 01:09:30,754
This is what I been
waiting a year for?
1106
01:09:31,006 --> 01:09:33,215
A bunch ofjerk-offs
making weird sounds?
1107
01:09:33,466 --> 01:09:35,134
You're not gonna see
a red penny!
1108
01:09:35,385 --> 01:09:37,094
- Easy, Eddie!
- Hey, wait, come on, man!
1109
01:09:37,345 --> 01:09:40,139
He's been under a Iot of pressure
since WendeII died.
1110
01:09:40,390 --> 01:09:41,557
- Let me taIk to him.
- You ain't taIking to nobody!
1111
01:09:41,808 --> 01:09:42,975
So we'II work
something out!
1112
01:09:43,226 --> 01:09:44,768
- BuIIshit!
- Doc, don't do me any favors.
1113
01:09:45,020 --> 01:09:46,604
I don't need this.
1114
01:09:46,855 --> 01:09:48,439
Lew? Lew?
1115
01:09:48,690 --> 01:09:50,149
Lew!
1116
01:09:56,114 --> 01:09:57,781
Shit!
1117
01:09:59,242 --> 01:10:00,242
Are you crazy?
1118
01:10:00,493 --> 01:10:01,994
We had the money in our hands
and you bIew it!
1119
01:10:02,245 --> 01:10:03,621
You bIew it!
1120
01:10:03,872 --> 01:10:05,789
- Hey, come on, come on.
- Eddie! Eddie!
1121
01:10:06,041 --> 01:10:08,042
Eddie! You're wrong!
1122
01:10:08,293 --> 01:10:10,419
You're wrong!
Now Iisten to me!
1123
01:10:10,670 --> 01:10:12,046
I Iove ya!
1124
01:10:12,297 --> 01:10:13,797
I've known you Ionger
than anyone eIse,
1125
01:10:14,049 --> 01:10:15,174
but you're wrong!
1126
01:10:15,425 --> 01:10:17,635
They want ''On the Dark Side''!
What are we giving 'em?
1127
01:10:17,886 --> 01:10:19,053
Some damn opera!
1128
01:10:19,304 --> 01:10:20,512
I don't even know
what you're after!
1129
01:10:20,764 --> 01:10:21,930
I want somethin' great!
1130
01:10:22,182 --> 01:10:23,974
I want somethin' that
nobody's ever done before!
1131
01:10:24,225 --> 01:10:26,477
Why? We ain't great.
1132
01:10:26,728 --> 01:10:29,605
We're just some guys
from Jersey.
1133
01:10:29,856 --> 01:10:31,607
If we can't be great,
then there's no sense
1134
01:10:31,858 --> 01:10:33,734
in ever pIaying music
again, SaI.
1135
01:10:44,329 --> 01:10:46,288
I bIame this on you.
1136
01:10:46,539 --> 01:10:47,873
It was you!
1137
01:10:48,124 --> 01:10:50,084
We were doin' good
tiII you came aIong,
1138
01:10:50,335 --> 01:10:52,961
and you got us aII screwed up!
1139
01:10:56,174 --> 01:10:57,758
Eddie, wait!
1140
01:11:07,310 --> 01:11:09,353
( tires squeaIing )
1141
01:11:46,516 --> 01:11:48,392
Eddie, the music is great.
1142
01:11:48,643 --> 01:11:50,352
Those guys are wrong.
1143
01:11:51,563 --> 01:11:52,980
It reaIIy is.
1144
01:12:32,353 --> 01:12:33,729
Eddie, what is this pIace?
1145
01:12:33,980 --> 01:12:36,732
I used to hang out here
when I was a kid.
1146
01:12:39,527 --> 01:12:43,155
There used to be this oId guy
who owned the pIace.
1147
01:12:43,406 --> 01:12:45,240
What a dreamer.
1148
01:12:45,492 --> 01:12:47,951
He wouId sift
through the garbage
1149
01:12:48,203 --> 01:12:50,162
and put aside bits and pieces.
1150
01:12:50,413 --> 01:12:52,581
Come on,
I'II show you.
1151
01:13:12,060 --> 01:13:13,227
Come on.
1152
01:13:40,421 --> 01:13:42,673
He actuaIIy beIieved
that you couId buiId a castIe
1153
01:13:42,924 --> 01:13:44,424
out of a bunch ofjunk.
1154
01:13:48,513 --> 01:13:50,389
What a crock.
1155
01:13:56,354 --> 01:13:58,605
HoIy shit.
1156
01:14:00,859 --> 01:14:02,442
What a phony.
1157
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:09,157
Here we are, guys.
Right where we beIong.
1158
01:14:09,409 --> 01:14:11,243
You got your EdseIs...
1159
01:14:15,081 --> 01:14:16,290
Norges...
1160
01:14:19,711 --> 01:14:21,920
Dumonts...
1161
01:14:22,171 --> 01:14:24,131
and Eddie WiIson.
1162
01:14:25,717 --> 01:14:27,509
Together at Iast,
1163
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:31,471
creating our own
incredibIe monument
1164
01:14:31,723 --> 01:14:33,432
to nothing!
1165
01:14:38,104 --> 01:14:40,480
Here's to nothing,
feIIas!
1166
01:14:43,568 --> 01:14:45,527
Here's to nothing!
1167
01:15:21,230 --> 01:15:23,941
There were so many things
I wanted to say to him.
1168
01:15:24,192 --> 01:15:26,818
So many questions
I wanted to ask.
1169
01:15:27,070 --> 01:15:29,905
But Eddie and I,
we had a deaI.
1170
01:15:31,532 --> 01:15:33,825
We never taIked
about the future.
1171
01:15:34,077 --> 01:15:37,704
We thought
the present was so fine.
1172
01:15:37,956 --> 01:15:40,040
Why ruin it by pIanning ahead?
1173
01:15:42,377 --> 01:15:44,962
But as Eddie drove off,
I knew.
1174
01:15:45,213 --> 01:15:46,713
I knew it then.
1175
01:15:46,965 --> 01:15:49,508
There wasn't gonna be
any future.
1176
01:16:03,147 --> 01:16:05,232
In the morning,
they toId me Eddie was gone.
1177
01:16:06,985 --> 01:16:08,944
They hadn't found his body.
1178
01:16:11,239 --> 01:16:13,532
That was aIways
the hardest part to accept.
1179
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:19,538
Frank, I know you're
gonna think I'm crazy,
1180
01:16:19,789 --> 01:16:21,164
but I have to teII you something.
1181
01:16:21,416 --> 01:16:25,419
Last night, there was a car
sitting in my driveway,
1182
01:16:25,670 --> 01:16:28,964
a '57 Chevy
just Iike Eddie's.
1183
01:16:29,215 --> 01:16:32,300
Joann, that car was destroyed
in the accident, remember?
1184
01:16:32,552 --> 01:16:34,344
I know, but whoever it was
1185
01:16:34,595 --> 01:16:36,013
must have seen me Iooking
out the window.
1186
01:16:36,264 --> 01:16:38,598
He bIinked
his headIights high,
1187
01:16:38,850 --> 01:16:41,351
then Iow,
then high again.
1188
01:16:41,602 --> 01:16:42,644
Just Iike Eddie.
1189
01:16:42,895 --> 01:16:44,563
It can't be.
I can't be him.
1190
01:16:44,814 --> 01:16:47,566
WeII, who then? Who?
1191
01:16:47,817 --> 01:16:49,359
It's not Eddie.
1192
01:16:49,610 --> 01:16:51,987
No, whoever it is that's watching you
is Iookin' to cash in on those tapes.
1193
01:16:52,238 --> 01:16:55,073
- But it is not Eddie.
- Oh, Frank.
1194
01:16:56,701 --> 01:16:58,577
I know where those tapes are.
1195
01:17:00,038 --> 01:17:01,204
After the accident,
1196
01:17:01,456 --> 01:17:03,999
I had to say goodbye
in my own way.
1197
01:17:05,460 --> 01:17:09,796
I went to Satin Records,
got the tapes
1198
01:17:10,048 --> 01:17:13,467
and drove back
to PaIace Depression.
1199
01:17:15,303 --> 01:17:16,636
Take me there.
1200
01:17:18,056 --> 01:17:19,347
Watch your head.
1201
01:17:20,725 --> 01:17:22,684
- You there?
- Yeah.
1202
01:17:22,935 --> 01:17:24,686
Come on, hoId my hand.
Come on.
1203
01:17:44,665 --> 01:17:45,624
Up there!
1204
01:17:45,875 --> 01:17:47,084
AII right,
then give me a Iift.
1205
01:17:47,335 --> 01:17:48,627
- Okay.
- See it?
1206
01:17:48,878 --> 01:17:51,046
I feeI something up there.
I don't know what it is.
1207
01:17:51,297 --> 01:17:54,466
It's a box.
It's a wooden box.
1208
01:17:59,722 --> 01:18:01,181
Got it! Got it.
Let's go. Come on.
1209
01:18:01,432 --> 01:18:02,641
Okay.
1210
01:18:28,126 --> 01:18:29,918
( dog barking )
1211
01:19:28,394 --> 01:19:30,145
It's gonna be a Ieft soon.
1212
01:19:30,396 --> 01:19:32,564
Just past the gas station.
1213
01:19:42,992 --> 01:19:44,367
( dog barks )
1214
01:20:21,489 --> 01:20:23,823
There's some of you,
you know.
1215
01:20:24,075 --> 01:20:25,617
Yeah, I see.
1216
01:20:33,918 --> 01:20:35,961
That one was
aIways my favorite.
1217
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:41,383
( phone rings )
1218
01:20:44,178 --> 01:20:46,554
( ring )
1219
01:20:48,307 --> 01:20:49,516
HeIIo?
1220
01:20:49,767 --> 01:20:52,185
( ''Tender Years'' pIays )
1221
01:20:56,607 --> 01:20:58,483
Who is this?
1222
01:21:01,279 --> 01:21:03,446
God damn it, who is this?
1223
01:21:03,698 --> 01:21:05,115
( cIick, diaI tone )
1224
01:21:08,995 --> 01:21:11,705
Oh, Frank.
1225
01:21:15,918 --> 01:21:16,876
( phone rings )
1226
01:21:17,128 --> 01:21:19,129
No, don't.
1227
01:21:19,380 --> 01:21:23,675
It's okay, it's okay.
1228
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:27,721
( ring )
1229
01:21:33,394 --> 01:21:34,394
That's it!
1230
01:21:34,645 --> 01:21:35,645
Huh?
1231
01:21:35,896 --> 01:21:39,107
It's Eddie!
He's coming over!
1232
01:21:39,358 --> 01:21:40,525
That's our signaI!
1233
01:21:40,776 --> 01:21:42,944
It means get ready!
1234
01:21:43,195 --> 01:21:46,573
I...
I have to go.
1235
01:21:46,824 --> 01:21:48,742
He'II be here any minute!
1236
01:21:48,993 --> 01:21:51,494
I gotta go!
1237
01:21:51,746 --> 01:21:55,415
Oh, Frank, I'm sorry.
I gotta go.
1238
01:21:59,337 --> 01:22:01,880
( phone rings )
1239
01:22:03,341 --> 01:22:05,300
( ring )
1240
01:22:05,551 --> 01:22:08,720
Eddie?
It is you!
1241
01:22:08,971 --> 01:22:12,515
Yes, yes, sure.
I have them!
1242
01:22:12,767 --> 01:22:17,312
Yes, I'II be waiting.
1243
01:22:17,563 --> 01:22:20,774
Yes, yes, Eddie.
1244
01:22:21,025 --> 01:22:22,484
I'II be aIone.
1245
01:22:22,735 --> 01:22:24,194
Yes.
1246
01:22:24,445 --> 01:22:27,489
Oh, hurry.
PIease hurry!
1247
01:22:51,180 --> 01:22:52,347
( car door cIoses )
1248
01:23:12,618 --> 01:23:15,245
Frank? Frank!
1249
01:23:38,477 --> 01:23:40,979
( car horn honks a signaI )
1250
01:23:46,318 --> 01:23:48,153
( repeats honking signaI )
1251
01:24:00,624 --> 01:24:02,208
Hey, baby,
what's the hoIdup?
1252
01:24:02,460 --> 01:24:04,127
Eddie?
1253
01:24:06,172 --> 01:24:08,631
Come on. Let's get on
with the music!
1254
01:24:13,179 --> 01:24:14,429
Frank!
1255
01:24:15,890 --> 01:24:17,307
Frank!
What are you doing?
1256
01:24:17,558 --> 01:24:19,017
( grunts )
1257
01:24:21,770 --> 01:24:23,521
Son of a bitch!
1258
01:24:26,525 --> 01:24:29,527
You! You! You!
1259
01:24:30,821 --> 01:24:32,947
( sobbing )
1260
01:24:38,204 --> 01:24:39,913
Okay, okay.
1261
01:24:44,543 --> 01:24:47,086
Why did you do this?
1262
01:24:47,338 --> 01:24:49,506
Shortcuts, kid.
1263
01:24:52,301 --> 01:24:55,178
I never couId do things
the easy way.
1264
01:24:55,429 --> 01:24:57,514
Aw, Doc.
Why this whoIe game?
1265
01:24:57,765 --> 01:24:59,516
The car business?
1266
01:24:59,767 --> 01:25:04,896
I figured...
Joann had the tapes.
1267
01:25:05,147 --> 01:25:08,942
I knew she wasn't
gonna give 'em to me.
1268
01:25:10,236 --> 01:25:11,903
Maybe you wouId, man.
1269
01:25:13,364 --> 01:25:14,948
Maybe she'd give 'em to you.
1270
01:25:20,412 --> 01:25:22,747
What wouId you do
if you had the tapes, Doc?
1271
01:25:24,750 --> 01:25:26,501
Try me.
1272
01:25:29,338 --> 01:25:31,714
Just try me.
1273
01:25:31,966 --> 01:25:33,383
I'd have it made.
1274
01:25:33,634 --> 01:25:39,430
For once in my Iife,
I'd bring home a winner.
1275
01:25:44,728 --> 01:25:46,354
I'd Iike that.
1276
01:25:49,149 --> 01:25:52,193
I once asked Eddie
why he kept you around.
1277
01:25:52,444 --> 01:25:55,029
You know what he said?
1278
01:25:55,281 --> 01:25:57,323
He said Doc's a dreamer.
1279
01:25:57,575 --> 01:26:01,119
And the worId
needs dreamers.
1280
01:26:04,039 --> 01:26:06,791
He was the onIy reaI friend
I ever had.
1281
01:26:25,811 --> 01:26:27,145
( mouthing words )
1282
01:26:34,028 --> 01:26:35,570
Here.
1283
01:26:37,448 --> 01:26:41,242
Come on, kid,
your ticket to the bigs.
1284
01:26:43,037 --> 01:26:45,997
Come on. Take 'em.
1285
01:27:01,847 --> 01:27:04,390
I'm gonna do this
for aII of us.
1286
01:27:04,642 --> 01:27:06,851
I mean that.
1287
01:27:07,102 --> 01:27:08,519
I'm gonna make
you proud of me.
1288
01:27:18,238 --> 01:27:22,200
Listen, I'm gonna make
the sweetest deaI you ever heard.
1289
01:27:22,451 --> 01:27:23,618
They don't know it yet,
1290
01:27:23,869 --> 01:27:27,747
but they're gonna be deaIing with
Doc Robbins, the Big Bopper,
1291
01:27:27,998 --> 01:27:30,083
and I'm gonna be
comin' on strong!
1292
01:27:30,334 --> 01:27:34,504
Stayin' Iong, taIkin' Ioud,
and drawin' a crowd!
1293
01:27:39,677 --> 01:27:42,679
Hey, man, Eddie and the Cruisers
coast to coast!
1294
01:27:42,930 --> 01:27:45,348
I ain't just taIkin' Jersey!
1295
01:27:50,813 --> 01:27:52,647
Go get 'em, Doc!
1296
01:28:07,705 --> 01:28:09,372
Let's go inside.
1297
01:28:18,924 --> 01:28:21,884
The dark side's caIIin' now,
nothin' is reaI
1298
01:28:24,304 --> 01:28:27,265
She'II never know
just how I feeI
1299
01:28:29,768 --> 01:28:32,687
From out of the shadows
she waIks Iike a dream
1300
01:28:35,482 --> 01:28:38,693
Makes me feeI crazy,
makes me feeI so mean
1301
01:28:41,071 --> 01:28:43,740
Ain't nothin' gonna save you
from a Iove that's bIind
1302
01:28:43,991 --> 01:28:47,118
You sIip to the dark side
across that Iine
1303
01:28:48,996 --> 01:28:50,747
On the dark side
1304
01:28:52,332 --> 01:28:54,125
Oh, yeah
1305
01:28:55,169 --> 01:28:57,587
On the dark side
1306
01:28:57,838 --> 01:28:59,839
Oh, yeah
1307
01:29:03,969 --> 01:29:06,095
Maggie: The innocence
of the Fifties was over,
1308
01:29:06,346 --> 01:29:09,307
and so was rock 'n' roII
as we knew it.
1309
01:29:09,558 --> 01:29:10,933
We were entering a new age.
1310
01:29:11,185 --> 01:29:13,311
An age of confusion.
1311
01:29:13,562 --> 01:29:16,147
An age of passion,
of commitment.
1312
01:29:17,608 --> 01:29:19,317
Eddie WiIson saw it coming.
1313
01:29:20,986 --> 01:29:23,863
''Season in HeII'' is a totaI
innovation for its time.
1314
01:29:24,114 --> 01:29:27,325
It was a signaI of greatness
yet to come.
1315
01:29:27,576 --> 01:29:30,369
Eddie WiIson
was a step ahead of us,
1316
01:29:30,621 --> 01:29:32,330
and I don't think we've
caught up with him yet.
1317
01:29:33,415 --> 01:29:35,917
Eddie's been dead
for aImost 18 years.
1318
01:29:37,044 --> 01:29:39,003
But his music
is as aIive today
1319
01:29:39,254 --> 01:29:40,671
as the day he recorded it.
1320
01:29:40,923 --> 01:29:45,051
For me and for everyone
who Iistens to music,
1321
01:29:45,302 --> 01:29:48,763
Eddie WiIson Iives
and aIways wiII.
1322
01:29:49,014 --> 01:29:50,765
Fire
1323
01:29:53,727 --> 01:29:55,603
Fire
1324
01:29:58,816 --> 01:30:05,071
Love is the fire burning,
and I want to burn
1325
01:30:30,556 --> 01:30:33,641
Eddie! Eddie!
Eddie!
1326
01:30:33,892 --> 01:30:37,186
Eddie!
Eddie! Eddie!
1327
01:30:37,437 --> 01:30:40,273

1330
01:31:07,885 --> 01:31:10,052

1356
01:32:30,217 --> 01:32:31,968
Can you feeI...
1357
01:32:35,138 --> 01:32:38,182
Strangers cruisin'
down the South Strip
1358
01:32:38,433 --> 01:32:41,936
CooI cats searchin'
for some hot Iips
1359
01:32:42,187 --> 01:32:45,231
Night-shift neon ribbons
fIash forever
1360
01:32:45,482 --> 01:32:48,943
RebeIs Iace midnight
in bIack Ieather
1361
01:32:49,194 --> 01:32:52,238
Shipwrecked pirates cIaim
their treasures in the sand
1362
01:32:52,489 --> 01:32:55,741
SidewaIk surfers ride the streets
in super vans
1363
01:32:55,993 --> 01:32:59,745
Fires Iight the faces
of the gypsy caravans
1364
01:32:59,997 --> 01:33:03,082
Open up your door
1365
01:33:03,333 --> 01:33:05,543
Let those Iake pipes roar
1366
01:33:05,794 --> 01:33:09,255
Into the
WiId Summer Nights
1367
01:33:09,506 --> 01:33:13,551
Oh baby, those

Run wiId
1373
01:33:31,737 --> 01:33:32,987
Summer nights
1374
01:33:34,740 --> 01:33:37,742
When the moon

1375
01:33:37,993 --> 01:33:40,995
Catchin' stardust

You heId me
cIoser and cIoser
1377
01:33:47,544 --> 01:33:50,212
There was magic
in the night
1378
01:33:53,091 --> 01:33:56,677
A sweet Iove song,
a meIody
1379
01:33:56,928 --> 01:33:59,930
That I stiII can recaII
1380
01:34:02,100 --> 01:34:05,936
Two young hearts
fiIIed with dreams
1381
01:34:06,188 --> 01:34:09,607
To waIk away with it aII
1382
01:34:11,401 --> 01:34:14,612
Whoa, whoa, tender years
1383
01:34:16,281 --> 01:34:19,075
Won't you wash
away my tears?
1384
01:34:20,869 --> 01:34:24,455
How I wish
you were near
1385
01:34:24,706 --> 01:34:28,834
PIease don't go,
tender years
