00:02:32,266 --> 00:02:33,634
How long is this gonna take?
3
00:02:34,802 --> 00:02:36,204
That's really up to you.
4
00:02:36,603 --> 00:02:37,938
Right, then.
5
00:02:40,141 --> 00:02:41,875
I know how this bit goes.
6
00:02:47,547 --> 00:02:50,517
My name is
Elton Hercules John...
7
00:02:57,291 --> 00:02:59,393
and I'm an alcoholic.
8
00:03:03,297 --> 00:03:04,764
And a cocaine addict.
9
00:03:08,302 --> 00:03:09,536
And a sex addict.
10
00:03:12,606 --> 00:03:14,075
And a bulimic.
11
00:03:16,110 --> 00:03:19,546
I'm also a shopaholic,
who has problems with weed...
12
00:03:20,314 --> 00:03:22,049
prescription drugs...
13
00:03:25,218 --> 00:03:27,020
and anger management.
14
00:03:28,255 --> 00:03:29,387
Why are you here now?
15
00:03:29,389 --> 00:03:30,955
Well, my dealer was out of town.
16
00:03:30,957 --> 00:03:32,993
I thought this seemed like
a good alternative.
17
00:03:41,202 --> 00:03:43,137
I'm here because
I want to get better.
18
00:03:43,703 --> 00:03:46,005
What were you like
as a child, Elton?
19
00:03:46,007 --> 00:03:47,440

Reggie! You're late!
44
00:05:36,249 --> 00:05:39,185
I've had to throw your dinner
in the bin! Get inside.
45
00:05:49,762 --> 00:05:50,996
Is he back?
46
00:05:52,331 --> 00:05:53,565
What am I? Thin air?
47
00:05:54,366 --> 00:05:55,632
Wouldn't get your hopes up.
48
00:05:55,634 --> 00:05:58,068
He's very unreliable
and very selfish.
49
00:05:58,070 --> 00:06:00,338
But will you send him up
if I'm already in bed?
50
00:06:00,340 --> 00:06:01,640
Reggie! Move!
51
00:06:02,007 --> 00:06:04,043
Got to get this done
before I go out.
52
00:06:07,347 --> 00:06:08,912
All right, all done.
53
00:06:08,914 --> 00:06:10,714
Put it away before you go out.
54
00:06:10,716 --> 00:06:12,617
Mum, I've got to go.
55
00:06:12,918 --> 00:06:14,719
Where's my cardigan?
56
00:06:37,509 --> 00:06:40,444
What?
Did I do something wrong?
57
00:06:40,446 --> 00:06:41,878
Bloody hell, Sheila.
58
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,782
Maybe we should
get him some lessons.
59
00:06:44,316 --> 00:06:47,618
Love to. Get him out
from under my feet.
60
00:06:50,889 --> 00:06:52,724
Go on, play it again.
61
00:06:54,093 --> 00:06:55,794
I want to play it for Dad.
62
00:07:02,733 --> 00:07:04,733
Managed to drag yourself
home then.
63
00:07:04,735 --> 00:07:07,104
- Hello, Stanley.
- How are you, Ivy?
64
00:07:07,106 --> 00:07:08,671
Like you care.
65
00:07:08,673 --> 00:07:10,342
Come on.
You're letting in a draft.
66
00:07:14,780 --> 00:07:16,246
How long you back?
67
00:07:16,248 --> 00:07:17,783
I've got
a couple of weeks' leave.
68
00:07:18,050 --> 00:07:20,417
Reggie's not long gone to bed.
69
00:07:20,419 --> 00:07:22,921
Go on. Pop up, say hello.
70
00:07:23,688 --> 00:07:24,922
I'll see him tomorrow.
71
00:07:26,924 --> 00:07:28,391
Any dinner left?
72
00:07:28,393 --> 00:07:30,828
Or have you fed it all
to that boy?
73
00:07:32,897 --> 00:07:34,799
My dad was passionate about...
74
00:07:35,567 --> 00:07:37,869
family and music.
75
00:07:38,904 --> 00:07:41,039
He'd talk for hours about jazz.
76
00:07:41,807 --> 00:07:43,273
He was always hugging me.
77
00:07:43,275 --> 00:07:44,309
I was very lucky.
78
00:07:49,380 --> 00:07:51,749
I was actually
a very happy child.
79
00:07:59,991 --> 00:08:02,691
Dad, is it true
you play piano?
80
00:08:02,693 --> 00:08:04,327
I'm saving to get lessons.
81
00:08:04,329 --> 00:08:06,563
If you want to sit in here,
you'll have to be quiet.
82
00:08:06,565 --> 00:08:09,767
I'm listening to my music.
83
00:08:18,809 --> 00:08:20,745
I like this one, Dad.
84
00:08:26,017 --> 00:08:29,388
Never, ever touch
my collection without asking.
85
00:08:40,064 --> 00:08:42,033
When are you going to hug me?
86
00:08:42,767 --> 00:08:44,135
Don't be soft.
87
00:08:52,578 --> 00:08:54,111
What are you still doing up?
88
00:08:54,413 --> 00:08:55,414
Learning.
89
00:08:56,415 --> 00:08:58,283
Turn off the light.
Go to sleep.
90
00:09:58,509 --> 00:10:01,610
Crumbs! That was energetic!
91
00:10:01,612 --> 00:10:03,180
Play another one.
92
00:10:03,714 --> 00:10:05,983
The "Moonlight Sonata," Reggie.
93
00:10:08,386 --> 00:10:11,053
Mum? My piano teacher
thinks I'm good enough
94
00:10:11,055 --> 00:10:13,423
for a scholarship
at the Royal Academy of Music.
95
00:10:14,725 --> 00:10:17,193
The Royal Academy of Music?
96
00:10:17,827 --> 00:10:20,130
It has a nice ring to it.
97
00:10:20,464 --> 00:10:21,499
"Royal."
98
00:10:21,865 --> 00:10:23,233
Scissors.
99
00:10:25,469 --> 00:10:28,539
- What do you think?
- The red one's good.
100
00:10:29,906 --> 00:10:33,275
- It's only on Saturdays.
- I've things to do on weekends.
101
00:10:33,277 --> 00:10:35,512
- Can't just drop everything.
- I'll take you.
102
00:10:38,148 --> 00:10:41,182
- Where are you off to?
- Don't know.
103
00:10:41,184 --> 00:10:42,485
Haven't decided yet.
104
00:10:43,019 --> 00:10:45,790
But whatever it is,
you're not invited.
105
00:10:46,122 --> 00:10:49,493
Reggie's piano teacher thinks he's
good enough for a scholarship.
106
00:10:49,893 --> 00:10:50,927
Really?
107
00:10:51,395 --> 00:10:53,261
You think he's got
that kind of talent?
108
00:10:53,263 --> 00:10:55,631
Of course, he has.
But you'd know that
109
00:10:55,633 --> 00:10:58,602
if you took the slightest bit of
interest in me or this family.
110
00:11:09,145 --> 00:11:11,314
Stop looking at that.
You're not a girl.
111
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,596
- Can we go home?
- Home? No going home.
112
00:11:28,598 --> 00:11:29,799
This is your life.
113
00:11:30,333 --> 00:11:32,502
You have to get over
that silly shyness.
114
00:11:32,901 --> 00:11:34,235
But Mum says I'll never...
115
00:11:34,237 --> 00:11:36,170
Everybody's frightened
at the beginning.
116
00:11:36,172 --> 00:11:38,508
You play at being confident.
117
00:11:39,576 --> 00:11:41,677
Life gives you
very few chances, Reggie,
118
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,046
and this is one of yours.
119
00:11:43,313 --> 00:11:45,146
You show 'em you can be
as good as they are.
120
00:11:45,148 --> 00:11:47,584
Better. Number one.
You can do that, can't you?
121
00:11:48,217 --> 00:11:51,319
- Yeah, I suppose.
- Good. Go on then. Here.
122
00:11:51,321 --> 00:11:54,324
Here's for a bag of chips
and your bus fare home.
123
00:12:11,507 --> 00:12:12,809
Reginald Dwight?
124
00:12:13,242 --> 00:12:15,477
- Yes.
- Hi. How do you do?
125
00:12:17,946 --> 00:12:19,449
Good, thank you.
126
00:12:20,015 --> 00:12:21,484
Take your coat off.
127
00:12:24,387 --> 00:12:26,423
Did you not bring
something to play?
128
00:12:28,091 --> 00:12:29,325
Didn't know I had to.
129
00:12:30,860 --> 00:12:32,095
I see. Well...
130
00:12:34,197 --> 00:12:35,729
So, can you show me anything
131
00:12:35,731 --> 00:12:39,001
so I can get a sense
of where you're up to?
132
00:13:00,055 --> 00:13:01,457
Why have you stopped?
133
00:13:03,826 --> 00:13:05,227
That's as far as you got.
134
00:13:08,497 --> 00:13:10,497
You might have a good memory,
and a good ear,
135
00:13:10,499 --> 00:13:12,735
but you've an awful lot
of work to do.
136
00:13:13,770 --> 00:13:16,371
So, wrists and back straight.
137
00:13:16,972 --> 00:13:19,139
Let's start
with the C-major scale,
138
00:13:19,141 --> 00:13:21,311
both hands, two octaves.
139
00:13:29,451 --> 00:13:32,020
Hands off the table, Reginald.
Stop making that noise.
140
00:13:34,958 --> 00:13:36,692

Boy... There's a boy there.
171
00:16:09,443 --> 00:16:11,579
Reggie. What you doing?
172
00:16:12,980 --> 00:16:16,684
Hello, son. I'm Fred.
I'm a friend of your mum's.
173
00:16:25,226 --> 00:16:28,061
You tied me down
with that kid years ago,
174
00:16:28,063 --> 00:16:30,763
and now I've finally
got a reason to leave
175
00:16:30,765 --> 00:16:34,002
and be rid of you
and this bloody house!
176
00:16:57,258 --> 00:16:59,492
He didn't even give me
a hug goodbye.
177
00:17:01,261 --> 00:17:03,396
He's no good
at showing affection.
178
00:17:03,864 --> 00:17:05,432
Never has been.
179
00:17:08,102 --> 00:17:11,337
- I wish I was someone else.
- Oh, don't be silly.
180
00:17:16,711 --> 00:17:18,512
Well, how do you think I felt?
181
00:17:21,482 --> 00:17:22,750
I was a kid.
182
00:17:28,055 --> 00:17:29,489
Heartbroken.
183
00:17:32,592 --> 00:17:34,494
People don't care though,
do they?
184
00:17:38,431 --> 00:17:39,667
Anyway...
185
00:17:42,536 --> 00:17:44,405
I'd discovered records.
186
00:17:46,307 --> 00:17:47,807
And rock 'n' roll.
187
00:17:54,148 --> 00:17:57,448
I know you like him.
He's quite a dish.
188
00:17:57,450 --> 00:18:00,054
- I would.
- Oh, Mum!
189
00:18:00,487 --> 00:18:02,823
Thanks, Mum. It's fantastic.
190
00:18:03,057 --> 00:18:05,991
You serious about wanting
to be a rock 'n' roller?
191
00:18:05,993 --> 00:18:07,793
Yeah. Of course.
192
00:18:07,795 --> 00:18:09,864
Better get you
the proper haircut, eh?
193
00:18:10,631 --> 00:18:13,700
- Can I get it cut like Elvis?
- Enjoy it while it lasts.
194
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,733
He's like my side
of the family.
195
00:18:15,735 --> 00:18:18,404
He'll be bald as an egg
by the time he's 20.
196
00:18:38,024 --> 00:18:40,224
Congratulations to Dave.
He's won four pork chops,
197
00:18:40,226 --> 00:18:42,960
half a pound of prime mince
and a string of sausages.
198

in this one and set it to music.
357
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,599
Okay.
Well, I'll see you soon.
358
00:27:45,601 --> 00:27:47,400
Thank you for coming in.
Will I hear from you, or...
359
00:27:47,402 --> 00:27:49,071
We'll be in touch.
We'll be in touch. Thank you.
360
00:27:49,338 --> 00:27:52,240
Okay. Thanks so much
for your time.
361
00:27:52,775 --> 00:27:54,610
No worries. Come on.
362
00:28:08,591 --> 00:28:10,889
One frothy coffee, no froth.
363
00:28:10,891 --> 00:28:13,195
- Thanks.
- We close in an hour.
364
00:28:16,098 --> 00:28:18,631
- Bernie Taupin?
- Yeah. You must be Elton?
365
00:28:18,633 --> 00:28:19,699
- Yeah.
- Hi.
366
00:28:19,701 --> 00:28:21,269
Well, that's my stage name.
367
00:28:21,771 --> 00:28:25,107
You can tell me your real name when
we get to know each other better.
368
00:28:25,474 --> 00:28:26,509
Right.
369
00:28:28,043 --> 00:28:30,278
- Uh...
- Um...
370
00:28:31,481 --> 00:28:33,213
- I was thinking... Sorry.
- Have you ever... Sorry.
371
00:28:33,215 --> 00:28:35,182
No, no, please.
After you.
372
00:28:36,818 --> 00:28:38,953
- I like your lyrics.
- Thank you.
373
00:28:39,421 --> 00:28:42,290
Yeah, I got the tape
you sent. It's great.
374
00:28:42,824 --> 00:28:45,260
- Really good.
- Thanks.
375
00:28:45,994 --> 00:28:49,662
Hang on. Don't bother with that one.
That wasn't supposed to be in there.
376
00:28:49,664 --> 00:28:52,267
- That's sent by mistake.
- No, no, that's really good.
377
00:28:52,635 --> 00:28:54,236
I wrote a tune to it.
378
00:28:55,237 --> 00:28:56,903
- Yeah, I...
- "Border Song"?
379
00:28:56,905 --> 00:29:00,573
Yeah. I read it and I could
hear the whole tune in my head.
380
00:29:00,575 --> 00:29:03,810
It was all there, I could see all the
notes, and I just had to get it out.
381
00:29:03,812 --> 00:29:07,215
It was like my fingers couldn't work
fast enough to keep up with my brain.
382
00:29:09,418 --> 00:29:10,850
Do you ever get anything
like that?
383
00:29:10,852 --> 00:29:13,155
Uh... not really, no.
384
00:29:13,855 --> 00:29:16,057
But I can write more
for you, though, Elton.
385
00:29:16,658 --> 00:29:19,961
- I'll just send them down to you.
- Great. That'll be good.
386
00:29:20,863 --> 00:29:22,097
Great.
387
00:29:26,100 --> 00:29:27,368
My real name's Reg Dwight.
388
00:29:27,669 --> 00:29:30,705
Cool. Yeah, that sounds
like a cowboy name.
389
00:29:32,039 --> 00:29:33,308
Yeah, all I ever...
390
00:29:33,708 --> 00:29:35,675
All I ever wanted to be
was a cowboy, you see.
391
00:29:35,677 --> 00:29:37,579
Do you like
country and western music?

- Yeah.

Laredo" by Marty Robbins?

00:32:00,955 --> 00:32:03,956
He's the good-looking one.
We'll make him the singer.
433
00:32:03,958 --> 00:32:07,593
Oh, no, hold on. I'm tone-deaf.
Elton is... He sings the songs.

Elton, time for bed.
528
00:37:47,965 --> 00:37:50,000
We became inseparable
after that.
529
00:37:51,235 --> 00:37:52,903
The brother I never had.
530
00:37:53,771 --> 00:37:55,704
Do you know, in 20 years,
531
00:37:55,706 --> 00:37:59,574
we have never had
a single argument. Not once.
532
00:37:59,576 --> 00:38:02,780
Anyway, I took his advice,
told Arabella.
533
00:38:04,115 --> 00:38:05,984
She took it very well,
actually.
534
00:38:07,518 --> 00:38:10,618
You bastard!
535
00:38:10,620 --> 00:38:12,120
She's killed my piano.
536
00:38:12,122 --> 00:38:14,725
You treacherous beast!
537
00:38:15,426 --> 00:38:18,595
Your music's as shitty
as you are!
538
00:38:20,030 --> 00:38:21,065
Hi, Mum.
539
00:38:21,532 --> 00:38:23,634
I knew you'd be back.
540
00:38:24,336 --> 00:38:27,504
You'll have to pay rent.
I'm not made of money.
541
00:38:35,745 --> 00:38:37,348
- Morning.
- Good morning.
542
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,017
- Get dressed, Reggie!
- Elton.
543
00:38:40,884 --> 00:38:42,987
I'm not having you
moping around here all day.
544
00:38:43,486 --> 00:38:44,521
We're songwriting.
545
00:38:45,022 --> 00:38:47,658
Oh, yeah?
Looks like it's going well.
546
00:38:50,362 --> 00:38:53,329
Right. I will not
have a mess in this house.
547
00:38:53,331 --> 00:38:55,799
It's nice and tidy,
and that's how I want it to stay.
548
00:38:56,267 --> 00:38:58,367
I'll not have
a doss house around here.
549
00:38:58,369 --> 00:39:02,139
I can't do everything.
I can't cook and clean and wash.
550
00:39:02,839 --> 00:39:05,307
Rely upon me to do everything.
It's not fair.
551
00:39:05,309 --> 00:39:06,542
There's egg on this.
552
00:39:10,381 --> 00:39:13,650
I'd better go
take a shave, I think.
553
00:39:21,592 --> 00:39:22,892

I love it. Best thing I've
heard since "Let It Be."
593
00:42:51,467 --> 00:42:53,032
Trans-fucking-Atlantic!
594
00:42:53,034 --> 00:42:54,836
Always knew
you boys could do it.
595
00:42:55,404 --> 00:42:58,073
First thing I'm gonna do is
put you on a three-album deal.
596
00:42:58,306 --> 00:43:00,875
- Three?
- A year.
597
00:43:01,376 --> 00:43:03,676
And I got you a couple of
nights at the Troubadour.
598
00:43:03,678 --> 00:43:06,881
- Doug Weston's an old friend.
- Hang on. The Troubadour?
599
00:43:07,182 --> 00:43:10,450
- It's this really cool folk club in LA.
- Yeah, we know what it is, Ray.
600
00:43:10,452 --> 00:43:12,453
Hang on. Now, let's not be
hasty, because the thing is,
601
00:43:12,455 --> 00:43:14,120
I haven't even got
a backing band yet.
602
00:43:14,122 --> 00:43:15,924
No, I've sorted the backup
band, don't worry.
603
00:43:16,258 --> 00:43:17,924
Dick, I don't wanna
appear ungrateful,
604
00:43:17,926 --> 00:43:19,460
but you can't just spring
the Troubadour on me.
605
00:43:19,462 --> 00:43:21,730
Look, it's time to do
something bold, Elton.
606
00:43:22,230 --> 00:43:24,666
Granted, America's
a bit of a gamble,
607
00:43:25,166 --> 00:43:26,968
and you fuck up
and I'll kill ya.
608
00:43:27,902 --> 00:43:30,205
But Ray'll go, too.
He'll keep an eye on you.
609
00:43:30,672 --> 00:43:34,809
Buy yourself some new clothes.
Get something flashy.
610
00:43:35,577 --> 00:43:37,212
Let 'em know who you are.
611
00:43:38,046 --> 00:43:40,215
Put on a great fucking show,
612
00:43:41,517 --> 00:43:43,686
and just don't
kill yourself with drugs.
613
00:43:43,985 --> 00:43:45,853
Yeah?
614
00:43:46,454 --> 00:43:47,455
Yeah, all right.
615
00:43:48,623 --> 00:43:50,090
I'm gonna have a massage.

Ray.

What'd you bring me?

00:44:55,056 --> 00:44:56,923
Hey, Doug. Bernie.
Nice to meet you.
633
00:44:56,925 --> 00:44:58,325
- Hi, Bernie.
- Good morning.
634
00:44:58,859 --> 00:45:00,625
- Hi. I'm Elton.
- Oh.
635
00:45:00,627 --> 00:45:02,294
Sweet. How are you?
636
00:45:02,296 --> 00:45:04,863
Monday night at the Troubadour, man.
637
00:45:04,865 --> 00:45:06,365
It's gonna blow your mind.
638
00:45:06,367 --> 00:45:08,670
Be totally packed.
You're gonna love it.
639
00:45:09,069 --> 00:45:11,002
It's a bit different
from what I expected.
640
00:45:11,004 --> 00:45:12,039
Yeah?
641
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,106
Yeah, it's just a bit smaller.
642
00:45:14,108 --> 00:45:16,108
Well, size is
everything, my friend.
643
00:45:16,110 --> 00:45:17,744
Neil Young
played here last week
644
00:45:17,746 --> 00:45:20,513
and there were people lined
around the block.
645
00:45:20,515 --> 00:45:22,716
Man, it was just...
It was the best night ever.
646
00:45:23,217 --> 00:45:25,185
- That's a cool hat.
- Yeah?
647
00:45:25,552 --> 00:45:27,755
- You like it?
- I do like it, yeah.
648
00:45:28,455 --> 00:45:30,522
- I won that hat, in a bet.
- Oh.
649
00:45:30,524 --> 00:45:32,124
- With Bob Dylan.
- Really?
650
00:45:32,126 --> 00:45:33,325
- Yeah.
- That's cool.
651
00:45:33,327 --> 00:45:34,960
Elton. This is the band.
652
00:45:34,962 --> 00:45:37,129
I'm just gonna check
they know what they're doing.
653
00:45:37,131 --> 00:45:39,732
So, you want something to drink?
Get these guys whatever they want.
654
00:45:39,734 --> 00:45:41,168
They just flew in from England
655
00:45:41,503 --> 00:45:43,405
and, boy, their arms are tired.
656
00:45:49,710 --> 00:45:52,279
Whoa, dude,
what the hell are you wearing?
657
00:45:55,482 --> 00:45:56,483
My stage gear.
658
00:45:56,885 --> 00:45:59,317
Where's Reggie? Where's Reggie?
Reggie, Reggie, Reggie.
659
00:45:59,319 --> 00:46:01,987
Neil Diamond is at the bar.
He's talking to Leon Russell
660
00:46:01,989 --> 00:46:05,192
and half the fucking
Beach Boys. Huh?
661
00:46:08,530 --> 00:46:10,263
Jesus, shit, Bernie!
662
00:46:11,164 --> 00:46:12,399
Reggie?
663
00:46:12,733 --> 00:46:15,335
- Elton. I think you're overreacting.
- No.
664
00:46:16,002 --> 00:46:18,703
Bernie, you are under-reacting.
665
00:46:18,705 --> 00:46:21,273
They are the geniuses
of American music.
666
00:46:21,275 --> 00:46:23,008
I can't go out there
in front of that lot!
667
00:46:23,010 --> 00:46:27,279
Okay, okay. Then we'll tell Doug
to refund everyone's ticket,
668
00:46:27,281 --> 00:46:29,381
- and we'll send everybody home.
- Where is he?
669
00:46:29,383 --> 00:46:32,217
- Hey, Ray.
- You've signed a contract!
670
00:46:32,219 --> 00:46:33,752
Dick's paid
your fucking airfare!
671
00:46:33,754 --> 00:46:36,389
Now get out there and play,
you little twat.
672
00:46:44,264 --> 00:46:45,466
Well, come on then.
673
00:46:46,567 --> 00:46:48,535

- Hi.
712
00:50:20,046 --> 00:50:21,780
- Hello.
- You were amazing!
713
00:50:22,982 --> 00:50:24,182
Thank you.
714
00:50:25,084 --> 00:50:27,785
All right.
Enough of this bullshit.
715
00:50:27,787 --> 00:50:30,188
Who wants to go
to a party at Mama Cass's?
716
00:50:30,856 --> 00:50:34,492
I'm so drunk, and Doug's
just lent me his car.
717
00:50:56,548 --> 00:51:00,384
- How cool is this, man?
- Yeah, great.
718
00:51:01,385 --> 00:51:03,287
Apparently Dylan's
here somewhere.
719
00:51:06,223 --> 00:51:07,392
Uh...
720
00:51:07,826 --> 00:51:09,961
I'm gonna go to the teepee
with Heather.
721
00:51:10,762 --> 00:51:12,764
- Really? All right.
- Yeah.
722
00:51:13,898 --> 00:51:14,933
Okay.
723
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,201
- You'll be all right, won't you?
- Yeah, of course.
724
00:51:17,203 --> 00:51:18,436
Yeah, yeah.
725
00:51:24,641 --> 00:51:26,745
So we still gonna go to
Tower Records tomorrow, then?
726
00:51:27,212 --> 00:51:31,549
Uh, well, she's talking about going to
some place called Paradise Cove tomorrow.
727
00:51:33,685 --> 00:51:35,485
But we'll go
another time, though.
728
00:51:35,487 --> 00:51:37,322
- Yeah, of course.

729
00:51:37,655 --> 00:51:38,656

00:51:39,157 --> 00:51:40,558

I know it all seems
a bit overwhelming at first,
768
00:55:07,930 --> 00:55:10,599
but something makes me think
you'll get used to it.
769
00:55:12,635 --> 00:55:16,173
In fact, I predict you could be the
best-selling artist in America if you desire.

at the Troubadour tonight, do you?
773
00:55:30,086 --> 00:55:32,553
Look, I'm in music management,
and let me tell you,
774
00:55:32,555 --> 00:55:36,592
there are moments in a rock

as he ascends into the heavens.

00:55:44,733 --> 00:55:46,202

00:57:36,744 --> 00:57:39,580
- Okay.
- Things are going crazy. I've extended our stay.
802
00:57:39,582 --> 00:57:41,781
We're in San Francisco
tomorrow for three nights.
803
00:57:41,783 --> 00:57:43,450
- Ray, slow down.
- After that we fly to NYC,
804
00:57:43,452 --> 00:57:45,719
then we're back here for
two more shows, and then...
805
00:57:45,987 --> 00:57:48,389
Dick wants us back in London
to start the new album.
806
00:57:48,957 --> 00:57:50,890
- Doug.
- "Rejoice.
807
00:57:50,892 --> 00:57:53,192
Rock music has a new star.
808
00:57:53,194 --> 00:57:56,963
He's Englishman Elton John,
a 23-year-old,
809
00:57:56,965 --> 00:58:02,737
whose debut at the Troubadour
was, in every way, magnificent."
810
00:58:03,104 --> 00:58:04,737
Whoo!
811
00:58:04,739 --> 00:58:05,940
It's happening, guys.
812
00:58:06,242 --> 00:58:07,876
Just remember,
when you get back...
813
00:58:08,344 --> 00:58:09,776
four shows you owe me.
814
00:58:12,180 --> 00:58:14,015
- You said...
- Four.
815
00:58:14,415 --> 00:58:15,850
Did... You said four shows?
816
00:58:16,151 --> 00:58:18,384
- Yes.
- That's not gonna work!
817
00:58:18,386 --> 00:58:19,420
So...
818
00:58:22,625 --> 00:58:24,157
will I see you
when I get back?
819
00:58:24,159 --> 00:58:27,494
Now, don't worry about me.
Go and enjoy your moment.
820
00:58:27,496 --> 00:58:30,031
- That's what's important.
- Come to London with me.
821
00:58:31,099 --> 00:58:32,731
I can't, but, uh...
822
00:58:32,733 --> 00:58:35,802

No one's
getting phased out, Dick.
904
01:04:03,295 --> 01:04:06,699
Elton feels things will run more
smoothly if he has personal management.
905
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,870
- There's never been a problem before.
- And there isn't one now.
906
01:04:11,737 --> 01:04:14,905
Look, there's loads of work and
commitments, tours, etcetera.
907
01:04:14,907 --> 01:04:17,139
That's what I'll be doing,
personal management.
908
01:04:17,141 --> 01:04:19,143
- Taking care of things.
- Is that right?
909
01:04:19,478 --> 01:04:21,478
You realize I've got
a contract with Elton.
910
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,012
I've had that looked into,
911
01:04:23,014 --> 01:04:24,381
and my client
is quite entitled
912
01:04:24,383 --> 01:04:25,883
to take on
outside representation.
913
01:04:25,885 --> 01:04:27,286
That's what you think.
914
01:04:28,988 --> 01:04:32,124
You fucking poofter.
915
01:04:33,893 --> 01:04:36,728
And you. You're happy
with this arrangement, are ya?
916
01:04:37,161 --> 01:04:38,396
Right?
917
01:04:38,696 --> 01:04:39,899
After all these years?
918
01:04:40,298 --> 01:04:42,033
It's nothing personal, Dick.
919
01:04:45,938 --> 01:04:47,171
Come on, Ray.
920
01:04:51,810 --> 01:04:53,379
Best of luck to you, Elton.
921
01:04:58,216 --> 01:05:01,586
Your very expensive painting
is upside down.
922
01:05:04,355 --> 01:05:07,358
- After you, Mr. James.
- Thank you, Raymond.
923
01:05:09,193 --> 01:05:10,796
Well...
924
01:05:11,262 --> 01:05:13,298
that was absolutely horrible.
925
01:05:13,899 --> 01:05:16,700
Don't worry, it's business.
Dick's a big boy, he'll be fine.
926
01:05:16,702 --> 01:05:20,770
Mr. Reid, Lord Grade's office have called
about the Royal Variety Performance.
927
01:05:20,772 --> 01:05:22,972
Apparently,
the Queen Mother is a big fan.
928
01:05:22,974 --> 01:05:26,309
Couldn't we have kept on Ray?
He's such a lovely guy.
929
01:05:26,311 --> 01:05:28,146
"Lovely guy" is not a job.
930
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:31,382
This is a crucial time,
Elton.
931
01:05:32,550 --> 01:05:34,383
You and I are gonna
have to be more careful,
932
01:05:34,385 --> 01:05:36,053
'cause the papers
have been sniffing around.
933
01:05:36,055 --> 01:05:38,523
We can't give them
anything to speculate on.
934
01:05:38,824 --> 01:05:41,125
I'm thinking of getting
someone in as your girlfriend.
935
01:05:41,827 --> 01:05:44,328
- Doesn't that seem a bit excessive?
- No, no, no, no, no.
936
01:05:44,529 --> 01:05:46,596
This is your career
and our business at stake.
937
01:05:46,598 --> 01:05:49,099
If our sleeping
arrangements get out...
938
01:05:49,467 --> 01:05:51,402
- all of this is gone.
- Right.
939
01:05:51,836 --> 01:05:54,005
And you're gonna have
to talk to your parents.
940
01:05:54,472 --> 01:05:56,038
Make sure they know
what to say.
941
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:58,109
Those are the first doors
reporters knock on.
942
01:06:07,987 --> 01:06:11,121
- Hello, Reg.
- Hello, Dad.
943
01:06:17,127 --> 01:06:19,664
Well, come on in.
944
01:06:21,032 --> 01:06:23,234
Well, those are
very fancy shoes.
945
01:06:23,735 --> 01:06:25,470
Oh. Yeah.
946
01:06:27,271 --> 01:06:28,506
I brought you something.
947
01:06:38,148 --> 01:06:39,383
Why are you here, Reg?
948
01:06:41,786 --> 01:06:43,686
The boys.
949
01:06:47,257 --> 01:06:49,458
Dad, there's
a Rolls-Royce outside.
950
01:06:49,460 --> 01:06:51,329
Stephen, Geoff...
951
01:06:52,263 --> 01:06:54,599
this is your brother, Reggie.
952
01:06:54,866 --> 01:06:55,967
Half brother.
953
01:06:56,433 --> 01:06:58,402
Not actually called
Reggie anymore.
954
01:06:59,736 --> 01:07:00,604
Hmm.
955
01:07:01,139 --> 01:07:03,005
I thought maybe
once I'm back from touring,
956
01:07:03,007 --> 01:07:04,976
you and I could
get together, if you like.
957
01:07:05,375 --> 01:07:08,445
I could get you some tickets
to my next concert.
958
01:07:09,179 --> 01:07:11,381
Not really my thing.
959
01:07:12,817 --> 01:07:15,920
Is it true
you're worth 25 million pound?
960
01:07:16,354 --> 01:07:18,487
Do you know,
I don't actually know.
961
01:07:18,489 --> 01:07:21,058
They're really
proud of you. Mmm.
962
01:07:21,692 --> 01:07:24,428
Yeah, we've even got
some of your records.
963
01:07:24,928 --> 01:07:28,265
Why don't you go and get the album?
Grab us a pen.
964
01:07:33,570 --> 01:07:37,642
You probably get asked this all the
time, but would you...
965
01:07:38,375 --> 01:07:40,210
Would you mind signing this?
966
01:07:43,915 --> 01:07:45,247
Yeah, of course.
967
01:07:50,887 --> 01:07:53,824
Oh, no. Would you
make it out to Arthur?
968
01:07:55,258 --> 01:07:57,260
He's one of the blokes
from work.
969
01:07:57,594 --> 01:07:59,229
Yeah, he's a big fan.
970
01:08:00,630 --> 01:08:02,532
- Is he?
- Mm-hmm.
971
01:08:10,807 --> 01:08:11,808
Perfect.
972
01:08:14,778 --> 01:08:15,812
Right.
973
01:08:17,246 --> 01:08:20,584
Well, looks like things worked out
really well second time around, Dad.
974
01:08:21,518 --> 01:08:22,719
- I suppose they have.
- Mmm.
975
01:08:23,353 --> 01:08:25,856
'Cause, you know,
not everybody gets a second chance.
976
01:08:30,761 --> 01:08:33,997
The boys loved
meeting a real-life pop star.
977
01:08:34,497 --> 01:08:36,565
Sure. Thanks, Dad.
978
01:08:36,967 --> 01:08:38,001
Bye.
979
01:08:41,037 --> 01:08:42,837
- When I grow up, Dad...
- Get inside.
980
01:08:42,839 --> 01:08:45,609
What are you doing
without your shoes on?
981
01:08:46,543 --> 01:08:48,378
You're gonna be a draftsman.
982
01:08:50,113 --> 01:08:51,448
Back inside.
983
01:09:18,842 --> 01:09:21,610
What have you got to do to get
a fucking drink around here, eh?
984
01:09:29,518 --> 01:09:30,987
Will you stop sulking?
985
01:09:32,923 --> 01:09:35,025
It has to be done
whether you like it or not.
986
01:09:35,558 --> 01:09:37,761
Are you gonna be scared of her
your whole life?
987
01:09:39,596 --> 01:09:40,829
Right, stop the car.
988
01:09:40,831 --> 01:09:43,366
- Elton...
- I said, stop the car!
989
01:09:48,238 --> 01:09:50,739
You're onstage in 15 minutes.
990
01:09:51,941 --> 01:09:54,441
You're the big-shot manager.
You make my excuses.
991
01:09:54,443 --> 01:09:58,614
Tell them I'm indisposed,
breaking my mother's heart!
992
01:09:59,249 --> 01:10:00,815
Elton. Elton!
993
01:10:00,817 --> 01:10:02,484
Drive 'round, Denis.
994
01:10:02,853 --> 01:10:04,351
Liberace!
995
01:10:12,695 --> 01:10:14,928
Pinner nine, seven,
double-five.
996
01:10:14,930 --> 01:10:17,666
- Mum, it's me.
- I know who you are.
997
01:10:19,535 --> 01:10:21,102
Well, I've got something
to tell you.
998
01:10:21,104 --> 01:10:24,072
Reggie, we're gonna miss
the bit of the show with you on.
999
01:10:24,074 --> 01:10:25,507
Look, shut up, Mum!
1000
01:10:26,209 --> 01:10:28,377
I'm not on telly yet, am I?
I'm talking to you.
1001
01:10:30,512 --> 01:10:31,748
I...
1002
01:10:32,447 --> 01:10:33,983
Me and John, we...
1003
01:10:36,185 --> 01:10:37,485
Well, the thing is...
1004
01:10:41,223 --> 01:10:44,059
I'm... a homosexual.
1005
01:10:48,397 --> 01:10:49,932
A poofter.
1006
01:10:51,268 --> 01:10:52,668
A fairy.
1007
01:10:53,435 --> 01:10:54,637
A queen.
1008
01:11:00,142 --> 01:11:01,542
Well, say something.
1009
01:11:05,014 --> 01:11:07,583
Oh, for God's sake,
I know that.
1010
01:11:10,019 --> 01:11:11,120
Known for years.
1011
01:11:13,555 --> 01:11:16,125
- You don't mind?
- Frankly, I don't care.
1012
01:11:16,892 --> 01:11:19,994
But I'd rather you keep
that sort of thing to yourself.
1013
01:11:22,231 --> 01:11:24,563
I just hope you realize
you're choosing a life
1014
01:11:24,565 --> 01:11:26,201
of being alone forever.
1015
01:11:27,369 --> 01:11:29,772
You'll never be loved properly.
1016
01:11:35,577 --> 01:11:37,579
Right. Got to go.
1017
01:11:46,721 --> 01:11:48,656
She said I'll never be loved.
1018
01:11:49,991 --> 01:11:51,857
Don't ever put me
in this position again.
1019
01:11:51,859 --> 01:11:53,126
You're onstage in 10 minutes,
1020
01:11:53,128 --> 01:11:54,928
so get over yourself
and do the show.
1021
01:11:54,930 --> 01:11:56,932
We're running a business here,
you fucking idiot.
1022
01:11:58,700 --> 01:12:00,970
Don't ever put your hands on me.
1023
01:12:05,674 --> 01:12:07,742
Real love's hard to come by.
1024
01:12:14,949 --> 01:12:16,851
So you find a way
to cope without it.
1025
01:13:18,813 --> 01:13:20,547
- You okay?
- Yeah.
1026
01:13:21,049 --> 01:13:23,282
Got the number-one album
in America. Again.
1027
01:13:23,284 --> 01:13:27,685
I'm about to embark on the
highest-grossing tour in rock history.
1028
01:13:27,687 --> 01:13:29,621
I'm personally responsible
for five percent
1029
01:13:29,623 --> 01:13:31,991
of all record sales
on the entire planet,
1030
01:13:31,993 --> 01:13:34,860
and I have the biggest
headdress known to man.
1031
01:13:34,862 --> 01:13:36,829
So, yeah,
I think I'm okay, Bernie.
1032
01:13:36,831 --> 01:13:38,597
It used to just be
the two of us.
1033
01:13:38,599 --> 01:13:40,733
Now there's busloads of people
just to do the music.
1034
01:13:40,735 --> 01:13:42,502
Hang on, hang on,
don't you wanna just
1035
01:13:42,504 --> 01:13:45,206
go out there and sing without
this ridiculous paraphernalia?
1036
01:13:45,839 --> 01:13:49,043
You know,
just be yourself, Reg?
1037
01:13:50,211 --> 01:13:52,945
Why the fuck
would I want that, Bernie?
1038
01:13:52,947 --> 01:13:55,948
You wouldn't say this shit to me
if you were a real friend.
1039
01:13:55,950 --> 01:13:58,616
People don't pay
to see Reginald Dwight.
1040
01:13:58,618 --> 01:14:01,120
They pay to see Elton John!
1041
01:14:01,122 --> 01:14:04,292
Don't ever tell me
how to do my fucking job!
1042
01:14:11,265 --> 01:14:12,300
Break a leg.
1043
01:14:15,136 --> 01:14:16,668
You don't have
to put up with this, Reg.
1044
01:14:16,670 --> 01:14:18,905
Write the fucking lyrics,
Bernie!
1045
01:14:19,606 --> 01:14:21,342
Let me deal with the rest.
1046
01:14:27,014 --> 01:14:28,547
- I'm sorry.
- I know.
1047
01:14:28,549 --> 01:14:30,983
Ladies and gentlemen!
1048
01:14:30,985 --> 01:14:35,253

- Where am I?
- At your house in LA, Mr. John.
1061
01:15:57,204 --> 01:15:58,238
Right.
1062
01:15:59,506 --> 01:16:01,007
I'll put some coffee on.
1063
01:16:09,782 --> 01:16:12,783
Darling, I've been thinking,
maybe we should quit the booze
1064
01:16:12,785 --> 01:16:15,322
for a couple of days,
take some quality time together...
1065
01:16:17,023 --> 01:16:18,258
Afternoon.
1066
01:16:19,725 --> 01:16:20,961
Mr. Reid.
1067
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:28,701
- What are you doing, John?
- Just a bit of rock 'n' roll.
1068
01:16:28,703 --> 01:16:31,538
Rock 'n' roll is not shagging your
secretary in front of the pool boys!
1069
01:16:31,837 --> 01:16:34,407
Rock 'n' roll is getting you
out of your bed in the morning.
1070
01:16:34,641 --> 01:16:37,542
Arranging 250 gigs
in 26 different countries.
1071
01:16:37,544 --> 01:16:40,413
Rock 'n' roll's actually
112 employment contracts,
1072
01:16:40,647 --> 01:16:42,447
insurance, copyright indemnity,
1073
01:16:42,449 --> 01:16:44,582
renegotiating your
previously insane contracts
1074
01:16:44,584 --> 01:16:46,150
and wiping your arse.
1075
01:16:46,152 --> 01:16:48,219
You know, all you do, Elton,
is play the piano.
1076
01:16:48,221 --> 01:16:51,356
But for me, rock 'n' roll is an 87
million-dollar-a-year industry.
1077
01:16:51,358 --> 01:16:54,060
Maybe I just play the piano,
but you know what else I do?
1078
01:16:54,461 --> 01:16:56,795
Hmm? I pay, John.
1079
01:16:57,596 --> 01:16:58,831
For everything.
1080
01:16:59,164 --> 01:17:01,367
Including this house,
which I'd like you to leave now.
1081
01:17:01,767 --> 01:17:05,068
You may still be my manager,
but you and me are finished.
1082
01:17:05,070 --> 01:17:07,070
- You're so predictable.
- No, not predictable.
1083
01:17:07,072 --> 01:17:08,640
I want to be by myself,
1084
01:17:08,642 --> 01:17:12,143
not with some asshole
who doesn't give a shit about me
1085
01:17:12,145 --> 01:17:15,115
and takes the piss
day after day!
1086
01:17:15,382 --> 01:17:17,881
- Get out!
- Yoo-hoo!
1087
01:17:17,883 --> 01:17:19,451
Elton.
1088
01:17:20,719 --> 01:17:22,052
What are they doing here?
1089
01:17:22,054 --> 01:17:23,353
You told me to hire a jet
1090
01:17:23,355 --> 01:17:24,691
and fly them over
for the gig.
1091
01:17:25,357 --> 01:17:28,492
- No, no, next week, John.
- It is next week.
1092
01:17:28,494 --> 01:17:30,227
I'm gonna go
and fetch them a drink.
1093
01:17:30,229 --> 01:17:31,928
Darling, why don't you
clean yourself up,
1094
01:17:31,930 --> 01:17:33,297
because you fucking stink.
1095
01:17:33,299 --> 01:17:36,869
Sheila! It's been too long.
1096
01:17:37,337 --> 01:17:39,936
- Beautiful woman.
- Hello, look at this, you lovely lot.
1097
01:17:39,938 --> 01:17:41,274
- Here we are.
- Hi, Nan.
1098
01:17:42,007 --> 01:17:45,142
- I can't believe I'm actually in America.
- I know.
1099
01:17:45,144 --> 01:17:46,779
- Hi, Dad.
- How you doing? Good to see you.
1100
01:17:47,079 --> 01:17:48,645
- Elton.
- Hello, Mum.
1101
01:17:48,647 --> 01:17:51,248
Elton, darling,
you remember the Andersons
1102
01:17:51,250 --> 01:17:53,483
- from next door, don't you?
- Yes, the Andersons.
1103
01:17:53,485 --> 01:17:55,287
How could we forget
the Andersons?
1104
01:17:55,587 --> 01:17:56,822
- Hello.
- Hello.
1105
01:17:58,857 --> 01:18:01,761
And what a shy little boy
you were.
1106
01:18:02,027 --> 01:18:03,561
Look at you now.
1107
01:18:03,563 --> 01:18:05,929
Elton, you must
give them a tour.
1108
01:18:05,931 --> 01:18:07,331
- Yes, right now, go on.
- Yeah, okay.
1109
01:18:07,333 --> 01:18:09,065
Everyone,
Elton is giving a tour.
1110
01:18:09,067 --> 01:18:11,834
- Mum, you're on my gown.
- Don't be rude.
1111
01:18:18,110 --> 01:18:21,347
Here we go.
Come here, come here. Excited?
1112
01:18:22,147 --> 01:18:23,382
- Car.
- Yeah.
1113
01:18:26,919 --> 01:18:29,821
- Bernie, how's it going, man?
- Hey, man. How's it going?
1114
01:18:29,823 --> 01:18:31,590
No idea who he is.
Of course.
1115
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:48,574
Here he is!
1116
01:18:49,007 --> 01:18:50,907
Ladies, Elton.
1117
01:18:50,909 --> 01:18:51,977
- Hey.
- Hey.
1118
01:18:53,011 --> 01:18:54,978
What are you
doing on your own up here?
1119
01:18:54,980 --> 01:18:56,412
Miserable bastard.
1120
01:18:56,414 --> 01:18:58,114
You're missing
all the fun downstairs.
1121
01:18:58,116 --> 01:19:00,015
Well, as long as all the fun
isn't missing me,
1122
01:19:00,017 --> 01:19:01,886
then who gives a shit, Bernie?
1123
01:19:05,591 --> 01:19:06,625
We should get a drink.
1124
01:19:07,493 --> 01:19:10,360
- No, we should. Let's go get a drink.
- Come on, it's fine.
1125
01:19:10,362 --> 01:19:12,962
No, we absolutely should.
No, I'm telling you...
1126
01:19:12,964 --> 01:19:15,501
Yeah, go and get
a little drink.
1127
01:19:48,266 --> 01:19:50,199
You look amazing.
1128
01:19:50,201 --> 01:19:52,769
Fucking prick.
1129

- Yes, sorry. You were saying?
1164
01:24:46,996 --> 01:24:49,666
I was saying
that I think I need a break.
1165

You need to take a break?
1166
01:24:52,202 --> 01:24:55,738

to go and sort myself out a bit.

What?
1168
01:24:59,408 --> 01:25:02,978

both of us just disappear together?

1172
01:25:14,256 --> 01:25:16,159
We'll go to my ranch,
we'll hide away.
1173
01:25:16,391 --> 01:25:18,494
We can write like we did.
1174
01:25:20,195 --> 01:25:21,697
Like we used to.
1175
01:25:22,531 --> 01:25:25,033
We should go home, Elton.
1176
01:25:26,168 --> 01:25:27,503
Reconnect.
1177
01:25:32,341 --> 01:25:33,642
No, you should go.
1178
01:25:35,078 --> 01:25:37,713
There are other writers
I'd like to work with anyway.
1179
01:25:38,614 --> 01:25:42,018
Do me good.
Collaborate with other people.

01:28:31,918 --> 01:28:34,286
You'll never be loved properly.
1211
01:28:34,288 --> 01:28:35,923
When are you going to hug me?
1212
01:28:36,823 --> 01:28:38,059
Don't be soft.
1213
01:28:38,926 --> 01:28:40,759
Life gives you
very few chances, Reggie,
1214
01:28:40,761 --> 01:28:42,728
- and this is one of yours
- Who are you?
1215
01:28:42,730 --> 01:28:44,529
You can do
anything you want.
1216
01:28:44,531 --> 01:28:47,266
You can be anyone you want.
What do you really want?
1217
01:28:47,268 --> 01:28:49,702
And what
a shy little boy you were.
1218
01:28:49,704 --> 01:28:51,339
Look at you now.
1219
01:28:51,772 --> 01:28:53,739
What do you really want?
1220
01:28:53,741 --> 01:28:56,609
I'm going home... for a while.
1221
01:29:27,707 --> 01:29:29,674
What do you want? I'm busy.
1222
01:29:29,676 --> 01:29:31,911
Why don't you get back in
the studio you're paying for?
1223
01:29:33,314 --> 01:29:36,984
Why don't you sell my fucking records?
What's this? Hmm?
1224
01:29:37,517 --> 01:29:39,218
Number 11 in Italy.
1225
01:29:39,220 --> 01:29:41,519
The song doesn't work,
that's the problem.
1226
01:29:41,521 --> 01:29:43,321
The record's
coked-out MOR shit.
1227
01:29:43,323 --> 01:29:44,324
No, the problem...
1228
01:29:44,891 --> 01:29:48,962
is you have
never understood me...
1229
01:29:49,529 --> 01:29:51,231
and what I have to go through.
1230
01:29:51,564 --> 01:29:53,731
And you know what?
I should've sacked you when you left me.
1231
01:29:53,733 --> 01:29:56,868
I am glad I left you.
It means I can maintain some objectivity
1232
01:29:56,870 --> 01:29:59,537
in your self-indulgent,
myopic little world.
1233
01:29:59,539 --> 01:30:02,043
Get in the studio
and make some music or don't.
1234
01:30:02,343 --> 01:30:03,576
I don't care.
1235
01:30:08,547 --> 01:30:10,582
Well, you will
when your money runs out.
1236
01:30:13,853 --> 01:30:17,021
Do your worst.
In fact, take me to court.
1237
01:30:17,023 --> 01:30:19,225
You signed contracts
with me years ago.
1238
01:30:19,493 --> 01:30:23,330
So I'll still be collecting my 20%
long after you've killed yourself.
1239
01:30:24,564 --> 01:30:26,467
Get out of my fucking house!
1240
01:30:28,202 --> 01:30:29,401

I know.
1280
01:34:56,833 --> 01:34:58,602
Renate didn't deserve that.
1281
01:35:01,706 --> 01:35:03,074
She's a good person.
1282
01:35:05,242 --> 01:35:07,345
I dragged her
into all my madness.
1283
01:35:09,213 --> 01:35:11,349
Did being married
make you happy?
1284
01:35:11,650 --> 01:35:13,650
Not really. I'm gay.
1285
01:35:19,122 --> 01:35:21,290
- I think...
- Hello, Mum.
1286
01:35:21,292 --> 01:35:23,858
- Sir, would you like me to...
- Maybe a bit later, thank you.
1287
01:35:23,860 --> 01:35:25,329
- Hi, Dad.
- Hello, son.
1288
01:35:25,862 --> 01:35:27,096
- You all right?
- Yeah. Good.
1289
01:35:27,098 --> 01:35:29,900
Just talking about poor Renate.
1290
01:35:30,768 --> 01:35:32,103
Such a lovely woman.
1291
01:35:32,403 --> 01:35:34,605
Divorce can be so painful.
1292
01:35:35,439 --> 01:35:38,040
- Yeah.
- Anyway, celebration is in order.
1293
01:35:39,977 --> 01:35:44,011
We found a lovely villa
by the sea.
1294
01:35:44,013 --> 01:35:45,681
It'd be good if you would
talk to John today,
1295
01:35:45,683 --> 01:35:48,584
get the money arranged.
Can't risk losing this one.
1296
01:35:48,586 --> 01:35:50,152
Yeah, in Minorca.
1297
01:35:50,154 --> 01:35:51,453
It is a lovely place.
You should see it.
1298
01:35:51,455 --> 01:35:53,657
- Minorca, eh?
- Mmm.
1299
01:35:55,826 --> 01:35:57,495
What do you want
to go there for?
1300
01:35:57,995 --> 01:36:00,028
- Because you're driving me away.
- Mmm.
1301
01:36:00,030 --> 01:36:01,997
Every time
we open a paper,
1302
01:36:01,999 --> 01:36:04,935
there's something about you and
the booze or the drugs, and...
1303
01:36:05,704 --> 01:36:07,703
you're breaking
your poor mum's heart.
1304
01:36:07,705 --> 01:36:09,705
Tell you what,
I'll write you a check. Hmm?
1305
01:36:09,707 --> 01:36:11,372
So she can go buy a new one.
1306
01:36:11,374 --> 01:36:13,744
Typical that you'd say
something like that about me,
1307
01:36:14,077 --> 01:36:16,010
when I've given up
so much for you.
1308
01:36:16,012 --> 01:36:17,713
What have you given up for me?
1309
01:36:17,715 --> 01:36:21,185
Your father... for a start.
1310
01:36:26,023 --> 01:36:28,259
You really are
a heartless monster.
1311
01:36:32,629 --> 01:36:35,165
You know, I don't live my life
in black and white.
1312
01:36:36,834 --> 01:36:40,471
And I do not want your fucked-up,
frigid ideas about anything.
1313
01:36:44,274 --> 01:36:46,742
You know, I am so sick
1314
01:36:46,744 --> 01:36:48,512
of running away from who I am.
1315
01:36:50,714 --> 01:36:53,882
There's nothing wrong
with success. Or pleasure.
1316
01:36:53,884 --> 01:36:55,249
In fact,
why am I apologizing for it?
1317
01:36:55,251 --> 01:36:57,720
Mum, I have fucked
everything that moves.
1318
01:36:59,322 --> 01:37:02,123
And I've taken
every drug known to man.
1319
01:37:02,125 --> 01:37:03,359
All of them.
1320
01:37:04,695 --> 01:37:05,729
Do you know what?
1321
01:37:07,631 --> 01:37:09,399
I enjoyed
every last minute of it.
1322
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:12,568
Ever since you first dangled
your fat little legs
1323
01:37:12,570 --> 01:37:14,438
in front of a piano,
you've been lucky.
1324
01:37:14,971 --> 01:37:18,372
You've never worked hard
for a bloody thing in your life.
1325
01:37:18,374 --> 01:37:20,942
It all just comes to you.
You don't do anything.
1326
01:37:20,944 --> 01:37:22,977
And I'm the one who suffers.
1327
01:37:22,979 --> 01:37:25,213
I should never
have had children.
1328
01:37:25,215 --> 01:37:29,619

Bernie?

1350

1351
01:39:23,365 --> 01:39:25,367
Now you come back
to lecture me?
1352
01:39:26,836 --> 01:39:29,737
'Cause the thing is,
the first time we actually got anywhere,
1353
01:39:29,739 --> 01:39:30,673
you left, didn't you?
1354
01:39:30,907 --> 01:39:32,840
Some girl was more important
to you than me
1355
01:39:32,842 --> 01:39:35,845
and all those legends
who were welcoming us in.
1356
01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:40,617
You left me at the most
important time, Bernie.
1357
01:39:41,484 --> 01:39:42,784
When did you give up?
1358
01:39:44,252 --> 01:39:47,220
If you don't care about yourself,
how do you expect anyone else to?
1359
01:39:47,222 --> 01:39:49,524
Whenever I needed you most...
1360
01:39:50,859 --> 01:39:54,461
- you weren't there.
- It's not weak to ask for help.
1361
01:39:54,463 --> 01:39:57,599
I have worked my balls off
to get us out of the shit.
1362
01:39:58,433 --> 01:40:01,869
Day in, day out, for years.
1363
01:40:01,871 --> 01:40:04,505
And now it's me that can't
walk down the streets.
1364
01:40:04,507 --> 01:40:07,876
It's me
who doesn't have a life.

01:46:37,662 --> 01:46:39,698
You was never ordinary.

01:46:40,699 --> 01:46:41,933

Mum, I know it was never easy.
1436
01:46:52,645 --> 01:46:54,279
And I hope you can forgive me.
1437
01:46:56,081 --> 01:46:58,683
Because I've realized
that's what we need to do now.
1438
01:46:59,785 --> 01:47:01,553
Forgive each other.
1439
01:47:03,456 --> 01:47:05,924
- No, your problem is you're selfish.
- No.
1440
01:47:06,925 --> 01:47:09,295
My problem was I believed
you loved me.
1441
01:47:09,561 --> 01:47:11,195
And you're incapable of it.
1442
01:47:11,197 --> 01:47:12,896
I gave everything
to keep something
1443
01:47:12,898 --> 01:47:14,699
that I never even had
in the first place.
1444
01:47:16,002 --> 01:47:18,804
I always thought you was
an introverted extrovert.
1445
01:47:19,471 --> 01:47:22,874
- A what?
- He's shy. He's always been shy.
1446
01:47:23,275 --> 01:47:24,943
It's all his father's fault.
1447
01:47:25,410 --> 01:47:29,147
Don't blame me.
He'd have been strange, regardless.
1448
01:47:29,748 --> 01:47:32,084
Actually, I think
I'm okay with "strange."
1449
01:47:32,584 --> 01:47:35,188
God. Not him.
1450
01:47:35,421 --> 01:47:37,290
Both of you. Stop.
1451
01:47:37,889 --> 01:47:41,227
I'm not going to allow you to

1452
01:47:43,061 --> 01:47:44,930

Bernie.
1454
01:47:53,705 --> 01:47:55,438
I never told you
how much I need you.
1455
01:47:55,440 --> 01:47:57,309
No, no, no, I love you, man.
1456
01:47:59,911 --> 01:48:01,380
Always have, always will.
1457
01:48:02,914 --> 01:48:05,716

And that's what's important.
1459
01:48:08,220 --> 01:48:10,255

who you are...
1460
01:48:11,722 --> 01:48:13,024
and be okay with it.
1461
01:48:13,558 --> 01:48:15,327
He doesn't know who he is.
1462
01:48:22,634 --> 01:48:23,935
Yes, I do.

1465
01:48:42,720 --> 01:48:44,823

others, but I feel good.
1471
01:49:49,753 --> 01:49:51,255
They got a piano here?
1472
01:49:52,056 --> 01:49:53,889
- You been playing?
- Hmm...
1473
01:49:53,891 --> 01:49:55,357
- No.
- No?
1474
01:49:55,359 --> 01:49:57,462
Not in the right place
for that just now.
1475
01:49:58,530 --> 01:49:59,863
I'm scared, Bernie.
1476
01:50:03,834 --> 01:50:05,337
What if I'm not as good...
1477
01:50:07,904 --> 01:50:09,440
without the drink
and the drugs?
1478
01:50:13,177 --> 01:50:14,878
You know that's not true.
1479
01:50:16,580 --> 01:50:18,513
You're not scared
you're not good without it,
1480
01:50:18,515 --> 01:50:19,850
you're scared to feel again.
1481
01:50:20,451 --> 01:50:23,287
You might be able to lie to
yourself, but you can't lie to me.
1482
01:50:27,791 --> 01:50:29,826
I should be going.
1483
01:50:31,928 --> 01:50:33,163
Don't go.
1484
01:50:35,332 --> 01:50:36,333
Not yet.
1485
01:50:37,034 --> 01:50:38,868

you gotta do on your own.
1486
01:50:40,471 --> 01:50:43,007
