1
00:00:15,026 --> 00:00:21,799
Cut! Cut! Cut! Cut! Sort him out!
2
00:00:26,103 --> 00:00:29,542
I know it's unprecedented, I
know it's unorthodox, but sir...
3
00:00:29,756 --> 00:00:33,306
if you want Brian Slade,
those are the terms.
4
00:00:33,522 --> 00:00:35,564
You may take them or leave them.
5
00:00:36,636 --> 00:00:41,580
-Yes? -I'm Shannon Hazelbourne. -Who?
-I rang up about the position. -The what?
6
00:00:41,798 --> 00:00:45,883
-Assistant Clerical Aid?
-Oh, the position. Fine. Brilliant. Follow me!
7
00:00:46,313 --> 00:00:50,293
-Hurray! Zounds!
-Now, Shannon, I realize of course...
8
00:00:50,508 --> 00:00:53,947
your talents lie within
the clerical art...
9
00:00:54,164 --> 00:00:59,969
but I was wondering, by chance if
you had any experience with wardrobe?
10
00:01:00,184 --> 00:01:02,119
No, never.
11
00:01:02,334 --> 00:01:07,172
-Fantastic. I think that's everything.
-No, I said I didn't.
12
00:01:07,389 --> 00:01:10,077
Everybody! I'd like to introduce...
13
00:01:10,291 --> 00:01:15,237
you to our lovely new Wardrobe Mistress.
14
00:01:17,818 --> 00:01:22,118
-Shannon.
-Shannon. Welcome Shannon!
15
00:01:23,196 --> 00:01:27,173
Excellent! Yes, Mr Weinberg!
16
00:01:28,891 --> 00:01:33,192
Thank you very much indeed, sir. Cheers!
17
00:01:35,347 --> 00:01:39,969
-Extraordinary!
-What Jerry? What?
18
00:01:40,613 --> 00:01:46,742
So tell me, Master Demon... Who
would you most fancy meeting...
19
00:01:47,820 --> 00:01:48,569
in America?
20
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:56,205
-Ah, bravo! Jerry! Garbo, Brian,
please! -Brando for me. -Einstein.
21
00:01:56,958 --> 00:01:59,986
-Very sorry chickee. He's dead.
-Jerry said anyone.
22
00:02:00,425 --> 00:02:04,102
Brian? Who?
23
00:02:04,852 --> 00:02:09,933
Curt Wild. I want to meet Curt Wild.
24
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,234
And meet Curt Wild we did.
25
00:03:19,364 --> 00:03:24,772
-Mr Wild? -Yeah? -I'm Rodney from
Electra. I have Brian Slade here...
26
00:03:24,988 --> 00:03:28,232
from England who just wanted to pop
over, say hello. -I just wanted to say...
27
00:03:28,988 --> 00:03:34,828
I think your music is tops.
Really, smashing. Best of the lot.
28
00:03:35,371 --> 00:03:44,343
Smashing...top of...jolly... shit.
29
00:03:50,944 --> 00:03:54,511
Sorry, darling.
30
00:03:57,864 --> 00:04:02,189
Now at that time, Curt Wild was
between management and Brian knew this..
31
00:04:02,405 --> 00:04:05,866
of course, and urged Devine
to pursue the situation.
32
00:04:06,082 --> 00:04:09,976
And so if, in that probability,
an interest arose...
33
00:04:10,194 --> 00:04:16,356
in which Brian would serve on some
projects, possibly, though not exclusively...
34
00:04:16,683 --> 00:04:19,600
as...we're taking our
lead from you here, Curt...
35
00:04:20,683 --> 00:04:23,386
possibly as producer on that project.
36
00:04:23,819 --> 00:04:27,603
How might that scenario,
purely hypothetically...
37
00:04:27,820 --> 00:04:33,552
how might that scenario
appeal to you at this juncture?
38
00:04:36,255 --> 00:04:39,037
What Jerry's trying to say is do you
want to come to London to cut a record?
39
00:04:39,997 --> 00:04:41,148
Oh, yeah. Cool.
40
00:04:42,394 --> 00:04:46,040
-Very good!
-But how can we help you?
41
00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:50,067
You must tell us. What do you need?
42
00:04:52,276 --> 00:04:53,427
Everything.
43
00:04:54,480 --> 00:05:01,003
See, heroin was my mainman. But now I'm on
the methadone and I'm getting my act together.
44
00:05:02,347 --> 00:05:06,758
You come here and say you wanna
help and I say, hey, far out.
45
00:05:10,595 --> 00:05:12,322
You could be my mainman.
46
00:05:14,527 --> 00:05:18,173
It was pretty clear what was
happening. It happens every day.
47
00:05:18,365 --> 00:05:21,050
But for the world to think
it was happening, well...
48
00:05:21,243 --> 00:05:24,024
That was Jerry's particular genius.
49
00:05:27,862 --> 00:05:33,328
Right away he started promoting the two of
them like a pair of 40s starlets on the swoon.
50
00:05:34,192 --> 00:05:38,220
A Tracy and Hepburn for the 70s.
51
00:07:11,742 --> 00:07:13,852
My career was on the skids, mate.
52
00:07:14,044 --> 00:07:18,647
And you fished me out of the muck.
You got me back on my feet, you did.
53
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,237
It was nothing, chum.
I wanted to help you...
54
00:07:21,428 --> 00:07:27,376
make more of that far out sound. I
love your music, my son, and I love...
55
00:07:32,941 --> 00:07:35,911
You don't have to say it, mate.
56
00:08:20,228 --> 00:08:25,310
Every great century that produces art
is, so far, an artificial century...
57
00:08:25,887 --> 00:08:28,861
and the work that seems the most
natural and simple of its time...
58
00:08:29,436 --> 00:08:33,368
is always the result of the
most self-conscious effort.
59
00:08:33,945 --> 00:08:39,506
I am not really myself except
in the midst of elegant crowds...
60
00:08:39,890 --> 00:08:41,712
at the heart of rich districts...
61
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,029
or amid the sumptuous
ornamentation of palace hotels...
62
00:08:46,222 --> 00:08:50,249
an army of servants and
a plush carpet underfoot...
63
00:08:51,305 --> 00:08:56,580
What is true about music is true about
life: that beauty reveals everything...
64
00:08:56,773 --> 00:08:59,268
because it expresses nothing.
65
00:08:59,459 --> 00:09:02,528
The first duty in life
is to assume a post.
66
00:09:03,006 --> 00:09:08,091
What the second duty is
no one has yet found out.
67
00:09:18,835 --> 00:09:22,096
The Aesthete Gives
Characteristically Cynical Evidence...
68
00:09:22,672 --> 00:09:26,315
Replete with Pointed Epigram
and Startling Paradox...
69
00:09:26,507 --> 00:09:30,344
while Explaining His
Views on Morality in Art.
70
00:09:31,184 --> 00:09:32,623
Brian, Brian!
71
00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:37,371
Maxwell Demon is the story of a space
creature, who becomes a rock and roll messiah...
72
00:09:37,660 --> 00:09:40,460
only to be destroyed by his own success.
73
00:09:40,751 --> 00:09:44,613
Are you saying this is your
destiny? Are you Maxwell Demon?
74
00:09:45,386 --> 00:09:48,186
Man is least himself, when
he talks in his own person!
75
00:09:49,055 --> 00:09:53,882
-Give him a mask and he'll tell you the truth!
-Brian! Brian!
76
00:09:54,366 --> 00:09:57,553
Is it your belief that
all dandies are homosexual?
77
00:09:58,518 --> 00:10:01,994
Ha! Nothing makes one so vain
as being told one is a sinner!
78
00:10:09,043 --> 00:10:15,124
Hey! Coming through! Coming through!
Hey guys. Watch out! Excuse me!
79
00:10:15,417 --> 00:10:18,410
-Coming through. Careful now! There you go.
-Tell us Brian!
80
00:10:18,795 --> 00:10:23,332
Are the rumours true that say you and Curt
Wild have some sort of plans up your sleeve?
81
00:10:23,526 --> 00:10:27,582
Oh, yes! Quite soon we actually
plan to take over the world.
82
00:10:39,074 --> 00:10:44,190
Excuse me, fellas, while I raise a
glass to the loveliest man in Europe!
83
00:10:46,605 --> 00:10:49,985
And they tell you it's not natural!
84
00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:07,558
The world is changed because
you are made of ivory and gold.
85
00:11:08,332 --> 00:11:12,755
The curves of your lips rewrite history.
86
00:14:32,255 --> 00:14:33,260
This is too much!
87
00:14:34,166 --> 00:14:37,584
Jim! What are you gonna do? Jim!
88
00:15:21,723 --> 00:15:27,859
Could you conceivably turn down that
blasted... Arthur! Arthur, open this door!
89
00:15:32,083 --> 00:15:38,115
You bring shame to this house. You
bring shame to your mother and me.
90
00:15:39,624 --> 00:15:43,746
It's a shameful, filthy
thing you're doing...
91
00:15:44,048 --> 00:15:48,473
Do you hear me? Stand up!
92
00:16:28,192 --> 00:16:32,588
It's funny how beautiful people look
when they're walking out the door.
93
00:16:53,902 --> 00:16:56,674
Really Shannon, it's
no problem, honestly.
94
00:16:57,248 --> 00:17:01,740
I'm not fussed about it, I'm quite open about it.
I was having a fabulous time last night myself.
95
00:17:06,138 --> 00:17:08,238
Really luv.
96
00:17:09,961 --> 00:17:13,687
You shouldn't let it upset you
so. Brian is a grown man and...
97
00:17:14,452 --> 00:17:17,129
fully capable of shagging
whatever he fancies and...
98
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,952
exceedingly partial to the practice.
99
00:17:22,099 --> 00:17:24,202
Now, just because
someone sees, you know...
100
00:17:24,393 --> 00:17:27,069
...two naked people
asleep in bed together...
101
00:17:27,261 --> 00:17:31,304
...it doesn't necessarily
prove sex was involved.
102
00:17:42,502 --> 00:17:46,546
It does, however, make
for a very strong case.
103
00:17:47,168 --> 00:17:52,766
But you're a sweet, sensitive
darling to be so broken up about it.
104
00:17:52,974 --> 00:17:54,839
Brian would be absolutely
chuffed to know that you...
105
00:17:55,671 --> 00:17:59,299
Don't you ever dare tell Brian!
106
00:17:59,506 --> 00:18:04,586
Swear to me you'll
never say a word. Ever.
107
00:18:08,319 --> 00:18:09,975
I swear.
108
00:18:16,095 --> 00:18:17,132
Jesus!
109
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:58,707
Sudden change in plans.
Brief holiday, much needed.
110
00:18:58,916 --> 00:19:00,368
Back by Hammersmith.
111
00:19:03,170 --> 00:19:04,207
B.
112
00:19:07,626 --> 00:19:10,216
That was it.
113
00:19:13,226 --> 00:19:18,303
Look I'm sorry. I wish I could help you
more. You seem like a nice guy. I just...
114
00:19:23,282 --> 00:19:25,978
...don't think I have
what you're looking for.
115
00:19:29,503 --> 00:19:32,301
See...I think you do actually.
116
00:19:33,647 --> 00:19:38,726
Oh yeah? And what makes you think so?
117
00:19:41,217 --> 00:19:44,017
Well that smile, for one thing.
118
00:19:45,884 --> 00:19:49,304
Well, smiles lie.
119
00:19:51,587 --> 00:19:52,624
Exactly.
120
00:19:59,155 --> 00:20:06,202
Listen. Once, of course, it
was a gorgeous gorgeous time.
121
00:20:06,308 --> 00:20:10,974
We were all... living our dreams.
122
00:20:14,602 --> 00:20:16,882
But you see all that went away.
123
00:20:19,579 --> 00:20:20,717
All of it.
124
00:20:23,727 --> 00:20:25,386
With Curt.
125
00:20:26,214 --> 00:20:31,712
And not even the real Curt. I mean, it was
this... idea of Curt more than anything, this...
126
00:20:34,821 --> 00:20:39,382
...image. Which, of course, nobody
could ever possibly live up to.
127
00:20:39,487 --> 00:20:43,842
I mean Maxwell Demon, Curt
Wild. They were fictions!
128
00:20:47,781 --> 00:20:54,676
Somewhere along the way, Brian
seemed to get lost in the lie.
129
00:21:26,142 --> 00:21:27,587
-Shit!
-Cut it.
130
00:21:28,256 --> 00:21:29,256
Should I stop it?
131
00:21:44,266 --> 00:21:47,822
-He's gonna hit the bridge a half-verse
early. -Now you're simply wasting tape.
132
00:21:48,019 --> 00:21:49,686
Alright. Cut it.
133
00:21:54,940 --> 00:21:59,720
What? What? Is there a problem?
134
00:22:01,834 --> 00:22:04,278
-Again.
-What? What?
135
00:22:04,836 --> 00:22:06,949
-Sorry, Curt, but it appears...
-What?
136
00:22:07,726 --> 00:22:11,172
Curt, we only ask that when
you decide to make a change...
137
00:22:11,842 --> 00:22:15,621
...you simply inform us in advance, so
Eton here is properly prepared, otherwise...
138
00:22:15,733 --> 00:22:16,845
What the fuck are you talking about man?
139
00:22:19,846 --> 00:22:21,514
I didn't make any fucking changes!
140
00:22:30,718 --> 00:22:33,417
Brian?
141
00:22:36,681 --> 00:22:44,671
Fucking mother fucker! Mother fucker, you're a mother
fucker! Fuck you! Fuck you, mother fucker! Fuck you!!
142
00:22:46,184 --> 00:22:50,179
Eton! Eton, please!
143
00:22:52,016 --> 00:22:55,902
Brian, I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell you this,
but what started off as an interesting experiment...
144
00:22:56,226 --> 00:23:00,220
has quite frankly descended into a
demeaning waste of your time and mine.
145
00:23:00,869 --> 00:23:03,891
-I mean, you've already spent forty
hours studio time... -Thirty-six.
146
00:23:03,998 --> 00:23:08,533
Whatever! Thirty-six hours studio
time on two, three bloody cuts!
147
00:23:09,829 --> 00:23:14,580
Brian, you seem to forget, you're a very big star now and
I think your time is worth a great deal more than this -
148
00:23:15,229 --> 00:23:22,786
Fucking space-queen on your fucking high horse!
And all your fucking henchmen! Fuck you, fuck you!
149
00:23:26,782 --> 00:23:29,264
Perhaps it's time for another
little break. Hey fellas?
150
00:23:32,829 --> 00:23:33,908
Give us a stretch.
151
00:23:43,735 --> 00:23:46,321
Jerry?
152
00:23:51,290 --> 00:23:53,449
I can't risk extending
his contract, Brian.
153
00:23:55,502 --> 00:24:00,252
I think it's quite clear why.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
154
00:24:14,613 --> 00:24:19,362
Piss off! Go on then! Back to
your wolves! Your junkie twerps!
155
00:24:19,688 --> 00:24:23,707
Your bloody shock
treatment! And fuck you too!
156
00:25:32,156 --> 00:25:33,687
Out!
O-U-T.
157
00:25:33,976 --> 00:25:36,944
Well, Brian. I'm afraid that is
completely out of the question.
158
00:25:37,611 --> 00:25:42,590
You are contractually bound to finish
the Maxwell Demon tour as Maxwell Demon.
159
00:25:42,686 --> 00:25:44,792
Jerry, I'm telling you, it's just
getting far too out of hand...
160
00:25:45,081 --> 00:25:51,013
Brian! I realize you're under tremendous strain,
but you've just gotta hang on in there
and finish the bloody tour.
161
00:25:51,973 --> 00:25:54,296
You hang on in there.
I'll hang on here. Right?
162
00:25:54,297 --> 00:25:57,393
And then you can do what you want. OK?
163
00:27:14,453 --> 00:27:18,906
Down with Slade!
164
00:28:34,128 --> 00:28:37,129
I don't believe that there is
much of a future to speak of.
165
00:28:37,323 --> 00:28:42,744
-We're in a bit of a decadent spiral, aren't we?
-Sinking fast.
166
00:28:43,034 --> 00:28:47,390
-Big Brother, baby. All the way.
-Which is why we prefer impressions to ideas.
167
00:28:47,584 --> 00:28:51,941
-Situations to subjects.
-Brief flights to sustained ones.
168
00:28:52,230 --> 00:28:56,586
-Exceptions to types.
-And yourself?
169
00:28:59,976 --> 00:29:04,136
Well I'm... I'm just looking
for a room at the moment.
170
00:29:47,701 --> 00:29:51,284
So for one entire day, I
actually think Brian's been shot.
171
00:29:53,123 --> 00:29:56,027
That the whole thing is real.
172
00:29:57,093 --> 00:30:01,312
All his paranoias proven horribly true.
173
00:30:02,251 --> 00:30:06,589
-You mean, no one told you?
-Nope.
174
00:30:10,221 --> 00:30:11,744
Why?
175
00:30:13,035 --> 00:30:14,207
Forgot.
176
00:30:19,483 --> 00:30:20,364
Jesus!
177
00:30:21,028 --> 00:30:25,449
I mean...I knew it was over. I just...
178
00:30:28,656 --> 00:30:32,855
...didn't know it was
up to me to make it stop.
179
00:30:56,835 --> 00:31:00,813
-Mandy.
-Hello, Brian.
180
00:31:06,673 --> 00:31:08,219
No, thanks.
181
00:31:19,381 --> 00:31:21,263
These are the papers.
182
00:31:22,476 --> 00:31:27,781
I believe they're in order.
All you need to do is sign.
183
00:31:42,151 --> 00:31:43,205
So you won't forget.
184
00:31:45,027 --> 00:31:48,096
-I already have.
-Evidently!
185
00:31:52,700 --> 00:32:00,757
Fuck you, Brian! Did you ever, for one bloody
second in your life, want anything more...than this?
186
00:32:01,813 --> 00:32:03,345
No.
187
00:32:08,045 --> 00:32:11,101
Your problem is...
188
00:32:11,102 --> 00:32:15,019
...you get what you want
and do what you will.
189
00:32:15,783 --> 00:32:18,078
Worlds, Mandy, are
built out of suffering.
190
00:32:18,937 --> 00:32:22,279
There is suffering at the birth of
a child as at the birth of a star.
191
00:32:22,567 --> 00:32:25,909
You live in terror of
not being misunderstood.
192
00:32:25,911 --> 00:32:31,545
Women defend themselves by attacking, just as
they attack by sudden and strange surrenders.
193
00:32:33,266 --> 00:32:41,576
I lost my girlhood,
true. But it was for you.
194
00:32:44,634 --> 00:32:48,168
What in God's name is going on up
here? How the fuck did you get up here?
195
00:32:48,933 --> 00:32:51,227
-Brian, I'm really sorry about...
-It's alright, Shannon.
196
00:32:51,703 --> 00:32:53,422
Mandy was just leaving.
197
00:32:56,959 --> 00:32:58,965
Mandy, if you'd be so
kind as to follow me...
198
00:32:59,059 --> 00:33:02,688
Let go of me. I'm perfectly
capable of making my own...
199
00:33:06,510 --> 00:33:08,324
I really don't want to
have to call someone.
200
00:33:12,339 --> 00:33:14,250
Call someone?
201
00:33:17,688 --> 00:33:20,707
I am his wife, for fuck's sake!
202
00:33:25,242 --> 00:33:28,866
Fuck the lot of you!
203
00:33:32,493 --> 00:33:34,909
Was that the last time you saw him?
204
00:33:35,110 --> 00:33:36,015
No.
205
00:33:41,858 --> 00:33:45,985
I saw him again. Briefly, a
few weeks later, at a concert.
206
00:33:46,187 --> 00:33:47,194
He was performing?
207
00:33:50,318 --> 00:33:54,245
No. Curt was actually performing.
208
00:33:55,051 --> 00:33:57,365
He and Jack Fairy had just
finished their Berlin record...
209
00:33:57,569 --> 00:33:59,282
...and Curt was in
London playing some gigs.
210
00:34:00,087 --> 00:34:04,719
And Brian was there, for a second.
I don't think anyone even saw him.
211
00:34:08,144 --> 00:34:10,259
Which concert?
212
00:34:17,007 --> 00:34:22,142
It was like a tribute. Sort of
a farewell concert to glam rock.
213
00:34:22,647 --> 00:34:27,783
To save your wild, wild lives.
To ne'er your fans embitter.
214
00:34:28,489 --> 00:34:33,926
To cease your sad
demise. Tonight, we toast!
215
00:35:37,277 --> 00:35:39,962
Is this working? Cos I want it blue-er.
216
00:35:43,678 --> 00:35:47,394
I don't think you should bother. I think I
should go on stage tonight, instead of you.
217
00:35:48,428 --> 00:35:49,770
Arthur, come on, give
us a hand with this.
218
00:35:56,686 --> 00:35:59,266
Stop moving about,
I'm doing me eyeliner.
219
00:37:49,805 --> 00:37:55,377
"...and due to the overwhelming demand,
there will be additional shows added
whenever and wherever possible."
220
00:37:55,998 --> 00:38:01,470
"Regrettably, Mr Stone only has time
for a few brief questions this morning
as he has a plane catch to Zurich."
221
00:38:29,437 --> 00:38:33,670
Lou! Lou!
222
00:38:37,799 --> 00:38:40,171
-I'm sorry, Arthur. I'm late. -Lou!
I think I'm on to something. -What?
223
00:38:40,483 --> 00:38:43,269
-Something quite big. I think I know who Brian Slade is.
-Ah, that story's been dropped.
224
00:38:45,233 --> 00:38:47,400
-What? Why?
-I need you on the Stone show.
225
00:38:48,227 --> 00:38:49,259
But that's it!
226
00:38:51,219 --> 00:38:55,245
What did they say to you? Lou!
227
00:38:59,894 --> 00:39:02,785
Hi, yeah. My name is Arthur
Stuart, from the Herald.
228
00:39:04,335 --> 00:39:09,291
I was given this number and told
I could reach Curt Wild here.
229
00:39:10,944 --> 00:39:16,726
-Listen...
-Yeah. Hello? Hello!?
230
00:39:16,934 --> 00:39:19,205
Listen, I don't know who the
hell gave you this number...
231
00:39:19,619 --> 00:39:22,200
...but Curt Wild is not available
and not interested in granting you...
232
00:39:22,305 --> 00:39:24,989
...or anyone else an interview
on this subject. You got it?
233
00:39:26,746 --> 00:39:28,811
I'm sorry. I was told...
234
00:44:08,658 --> 00:44:15,470
-That was really beautiful.
-Yeah? Thanks.
235
00:44:18,362 --> 00:44:21,705
-Did you see him?
-No, I didn't see him.
236
00:44:44,198 --> 00:44:45,309
It's only now, looking back...
237
00:44:47,135 --> 00:44:52,199
...that I see how you patched through
my walls and entered my life...
238
00:44:54,025 --> 00:44:55,038
...in waves.
239
00:44:58,990 --> 00:44:59,899
Come closer.
240
00:45:05,777 --> 00:45:06,790
Don't be frightened.
241
00:45:08,613 --> 00:45:14,287
What's your name? Your
favourite colour? Song? Movie?
242
00:45:16,718 --> 00:45:21,583
-Don't be nervous. Are you high?
-I'm on a button.
243
00:45:27,459 --> 00:45:32,827
He was waiting for me.
I'd followed his signals...
244
00:45:32,863 --> 00:45:38,503
...and slipped away and now, suddenly...
245
00:45:46,101 --> 00:45:47,517
Hey!
246
00:45:52,347 --> 00:45:53,563
Make a wish!
247
00:46:32,883 --> 00:46:33,896
Hey!
248
00:46:49,827 --> 00:46:58,236
Make a wish! And see
yourself, on-stage, inside-out.
249
00:46:59,352 --> 00:47:05,327
A tangle of garlands in your hair. Of
course you were pleasantly surprised.
250
00:47:06,646 --> 00:47:10,190
Softly, he said:
251
00:47:10,293 --> 00:47:12,725
I will mangle your mind.
252
00:50:08,806 --> 00:50:12,351
Tommy! Tommy! Where did you get the
idea for such a spectacular stadium show?
253
00:50:12,556 --> 00:50:15,831
To tell you the truth � it's
a bloody pain in the ass!
254
00:50:16,856 --> 00:50:20,850
The whole thing takes six full size rigs
or three chartered planes to transport.
255
00:50:21,157 --> 00:50:23,101
What can I say? I think big!
256
00:50:24,024 --> 00:50:28,631
Tommy! What's your opinion on the work
that President Reynolds has been doing?
257
00:50:28,836 --> 00:50:30,986
Excellent. Excellent. I think
he's doing brilliant work.
258
00:50:31,192 --> 00:50:35,250
He's a tremendous leader, a tremendous
spokesperson for the needs of the nation today.
259
00:50:35,287 --> 00:50:41,942
Tommy! What's your response to the recent
allegations connecting you with bisexual
pop-singer Brian Slade...
260
00:50:42,044 --> 00:50:45,318
...who staged his own assassination
ten years ago this week in London?
261
00:50:45,319 --> 00:50:47,981
...that Mr Stone has time for
this evening. Thank you very much!
262
00:50:51,260 --> 00:50:55,151
Out! Get out!
263
00:50:56,173 --> 00:51:01,701
"...Stone is promoting his Grammy-winning
release, "People Rockin' People",
to sold-out arenas worldwide..."
264
00:51:24,337 --> 00:51:25,974
Beer, please.
265
00:51:35,593 --> 00:51:40,815
Excuse me? Sir? Are you
with the Tommy Stone Tour?
266
00:51:45,626 --> 00:51:49,722
No. I'm just a journalist.
267
00:51:51,260 --> 00:51:57,810
Perhaps you'd like my...
press pass? As a souvenir?
268
00:51:59,143 --> 00:52:00,269
Thanks sir.
269
00:52:34,266 --> 00:52:35,319
You're Curt Wild.
270
00:52:37,819 --> 00:52:40,125
Yeah. Who the hell are you?
271
00:52:43,010 --> 00:52:46,276
I'm a journalist. From the Herald.
272
00:52:49,352 --> 00:52:51,082
You were at the concert?
273
00:52:54,158 --> 00:52:58,384
It's just funny, cause... I was
trying to contact you, actually.
274
00:52:59,828 --> 00:53:03,000
About a story I was doing,
about an old friend of yours.
275
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,130
Brian Slade?
276
00:53:10,111 --> 00:53:11,357
I was trying to find out
what actually happened to him.
277
00:53:11,551 --> 00:53:13,761
-Look...
-I mean, before he became...
278
00:53:15,972 --> 00:53:17,509
...such a mystery.
279
00:53:20,009 --> 00:53:23,178
Look, man, I don't know who you've been
talking to or what you're after here.
280
00:53:23,275 --> 00:53:24,236
What?
281
00:53:27,601 --> 00:53:28,562
What?!
282
00:53:30,965 --> 00:53:35,577
Listen! A real artist creates beautiful things
and puts nothing of his won life into them. Okay?
283
00:53:36,538 --> 00:53:38,940
-Is that what you did?
-No.
284
00:53:41,056 --> 00:53:42,690
We set out to change the world.
285
00:53:44,899 --> 00:53:46,820
Ended up just changing ourselves.
286
00:53:48,648 --> 00:53:49,705
What's wrong with that?
287
00:53:52,588 --> 00:53:53,835
Nothing.
288
00:53:55,663 --> 00:53:57,393
If you don't look at the world.
289
00:54:08,541 --> 00:54:10,463
Well, I guess in the end
he got what he wanted.
290
00:54:19,882 --> 00:54:23,725
-That's quite a pin you got there.
-Oh yeah.
291
00:54:24,398 --> 00:54:25,359
Is it old?
292
00:54:26,030 --> 00:54:29,971
Possibly. It belonged to Oscar Wilde.
293
00:54:30,740 --> 00:54:32,758
Or so I was told by the
person who gave it to me.
294
00:54:34,681 --> 00:54:39,679
A friend of mine. Kinda
disappeared some years back.
295
00:54:43,138 --> 00:54:46,020
I forget where we
were. We were on a trip.
296
00:54:46,212 --> 00:54:47,653
But he said to me, "Curt...
297
00:54:49,769 --> 00:54:51,499
"...a man's life is his image."
298
00:55:03,704 --> 00:55:06,681
-Here. Why don't you hang on to it?
-Me?
299
00:55:07,548 --> 00:55:08,605
Sure. Why not?
300
00:55:09,758 --> 00:55:13,407
I've had it too long anyway. Go ahead.
301
00:55:16,197 --> 00:55:17,446
For your image.
302
00:55:22,924 --> 00:55:31,283
Really. I couldn't. But thanks.
303
00:55:38,205 --> 00:55:40,318
God, I love this song.
304
00:55:43,201 --> 00:55:46,085
-Anyway.
-Yeah.
305
00:55:48,584 --> 00:55:51,369
-See ya around.
-Cheers!
306
00:56:20,201 --> 00:56:23,531
He called it a freedom.
307
00:56:25,263 --> 00:56:28,531
A freedom you can allow yourself.
308
00:56:31,031 --> 00:56:32,857
Or not.
