Beyond the Sea
Yeah, we're walkin. Yep.
- Nice to meet you, Mr Darin.
- Thank you very much.
Bobby, we've got an AP interview
tomorrow...
- AP interview?
- It's only two minutes.
It's my night with my wife and kid,
for us to experience it.
It's only two minutes. That's all I'm
asking.
It's my one night I don't have to do that.
It's my anniversary celebration.
You missed them in Florida. We can't
avoid 'em.
Good luck, Bobby.
- Bobby, have a good evening.
- Thank you.
Hey, Charlie.
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
tonight, celebrating his 10th
anniversary in show business,
the Coconut Grove is proud to present
the one, the only Bobby Darin!
Thank you.
Three guesses.
Wrong.
- Two, three and one...
Darlin', then we'll swing.
Stop! Stop! Richie, stop! Stop!
Hold it!
OK, I want to start over. I want to do
it again.
- You're kidding me. That was perfect.
- I want to do it again.
- I can do it better.
- Know how long it takes to set this up?
I don't know how much more
my chops can take today, boss.
When you start playing it right,
we can all call it a day,
but when you play it sloppy
like you been doing,
then we're gonna do it again and again
until we get it right.
- Bobby, the guys are tired, that's all.
- How do you think I feel?
Call it.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm gonna let you leave in a minute...
Whoa! Please stay in your seats
until Mr Darin has left the set.
Thank you. Can we have the bell up,
please?
Bobby, we can't keep doin' it
over and over and over.
If Bobby says he can get it better,
then he can get it better.
- What the hell's he snapping at everybody for?
- Just let him walk it off.
Mr Darin, do you want to start
from the very top?
Hey, Bobby, you know we've got
press on the set today,
can you give 'em a few minutes?
Ready to go in ten minutes.
And no-one is discarded.
- How you doin'?
- I don't know, Charlie.
Ah, you'll figure it out.
C'mon, let's go back upstairs.
Put those two pieces together.
I'll look at 'em after lunch.
Mr Darin? David said
I'd get a few minutes today.
- Do you mind if we do this now?
- He's busy.
Nobody's ever done something
quite like this, about their own life.
Sure, they have. It's a self-portrait
on film.
Think you can be objective about your
own life?
Listen, this guy was raised
to always tell the truth,
and that's what he's doing.
- I'm sorry, who are you?
- I'm his brother-in-law.
So you mess with him, you mess with
me.
I'm not messing with anyone, sir.
But being honest,
isn't the real truth
he's too old to play this part?
He was born to play the part
and you damn well know it.
Get outta here!
- Thanks, Charlie.
- That'sjust crap!
How can you be too old to play yourself?
C'mon! Let's get started.
OK, everybody... I want to change the
opening.
- What?
- Why, Bobby?
We can't start with Mack,
we blow our wad too soon.
Opening with Mack is brave.
It says, "You want me? F*** you! Here
I am."
No. It's wrong.
- Let'sjust do Hello Young Lovers.
- Bobby, start when you got sick.
Nina, it's his story. Let him work it
out.
No, no, no. I know what's important
here.
Everything starts when he got sick.
- Uh-uh...
- Nina, please. Don't.
No, I think we should start when
they booed me off the stage.
Nobody's gonna come see
you get booed off the stage.
Stick with the hits. That's what
sells.
How do you know
what people will come to see, Boom-Boom?
- When did you become the big expert?
- You tell him, Bobby.
As long as I've known you,
as far as you're concerned, I am the expert.
Bullshit!
- Who was that?
- That's the kid playing him as a kid.
- Get down from there, kid.
- I'll sort this out.
- We're not ready for you yet.
- Take five.
- Wait. I wanna hear what he has to say.
- Jesus Christ!
What did you just say, kid?
I said that's bullshit.
- What's bullshit?
- That you know him better than anybody.
Great. A miniature version of you,
and he's a method actor.
I need a drink.
- He looksjust like him.
- I know, it looks like him.
- I'll be back.
- Here we go again.
So, you're playing me.
- I am you.
- You think you got me down?
I know you better than they do.
We could do it 100 times,
it'd never be good enough.
but not at the other guys.
They've been working their asses off,
man.
I've never worked
with such an arrogant a**hole.
Listen, you prick.
There are four people here who can't be fired.
You're not one of 'em.
He might be an a**hole... but he's our
a**hole!
Look, he finally found himself.
So how do you think we should start?
You want some truth? I'll give you
some truth.
The kid is right.
This is how to begin -
on the street where I grew up,
with my sister Nina, my brother-in-law
Charlie,
and, to me, the greatest
in the world - my mother Polly.
Mrs Cassotto, I'm sorry to have to
tell you.
- Ow.
- The boy has rheumatic fever.
- What is it?
- It's a strep infection.
But why is it so painful?
heart.
It affects the joints and the muscles,
too.
So, what do we do, Doctor?
How do I make him feel better?
Just make him as comfortable as
possible.
Just tell us the truth.
You can never go wrong with the truth.
Even with the best medical care in the
world,
the boy will be lucky to see his 15th
birthday.
Come and sit down, Doctor.
What are you doing? Come on,
