Not Fade Away Page #3

Synopsis: On a train, Keith and Mick chat about the blues and the Rolling Stones are born. Douglas and Joe chat in front of a New Jersey music store, and a band is born: as Douglas's sister tells us, it's one of many that don't make it. We follow Douglas from high school (1963-64), when he sees himself as a loser, into the band, playing drums and singing backup - then as the front man. There are tensions, a breakup, an audition in front of a major player, and decisions. Douglas pursues Grace, a country-club gal with hip sensibilities who believes in him. There's also his father, working class, wanting Douglas to apply himself as he watches his own life fill with regrets.

I told you I'd give

you a box of M-80s.

Everybody! Let's hear it

for the Gene Gaunt Band.

Wait. Wait. No.

One, two, three.

Wait. Wait.

You suck sour owl sh*t!

What's this crap?

He's not the lead singer of the band.

# Time is on my side

# Yes, it is

# Time is on my side

# Yes, it is

# Now you always say

# That you wanna be free

# But you'll come running back

# You'll come running back

# You'll come running back

# To me

Easy!

# Time is on my side

# Yes, it is

# Time is on my side

# Yes, it is

# You're searching

for good times

# But just wait and see

# You'll come running back

# You'll come running back

# You'll come running back

# To me

# Go ahead, baby.

Go ahead.

# Go ahead and light

up the town.

# And, baby, do anything

your heart desires.

# 'Cause you know

# I'll always be around.

# And I know, I know,

# like I told you so

many times before,

# you're gonna come

back to me, baby.

# Come back,

knocking on my door.

# Time, time,

time is on my side

# Yes, it is

# Time, time,

time is on my side

Yeah!

You suck sour owl sh*t!

Jocks, go home!

A bientot!

See you Monday.

Bye!

Happy Thanksgiving,

everybody.

Easy for you to say.

- Who won?

- Hancock,

The new coach, he's a lollapalooza.

Thanksgiving at

Aunt Louise's is nice,

but why don't we have

everybody over here

for some holiday?

In that postage stamp

of a dining room?

Yeah, there are

a lot of people.

My sisters are

as free as birds.

They don't have to work. I do.

It's nice, too, isn't it?

They know that,

but they have me bring the antipasto.

Think the Army's gonna

let you drive tanks

dressed like a fruit?

The Army?

Why would I want

to join that?

What the hell you

talking about?

We had a whole conversation.

When?

Vietnam is ridiculous.

What did you say?

Plus, this friend of mine,

he said that in World War ll

they threatened black soldiers

with hanging

for looking at white women.

Why would I want

to be associated

with an institution like that?

Look at him. High heels.

They're Cuban heels.

You wanna wear Cuban heels,

go live in Cuba.

They have nothing

to do with Castro.

They're n*gger shoes!

- Pasqual!

- Don't "Pasqual" me.

He looks like he just

got off the boat!

You already said that.

That hurt!

Let me tell you something,

my friend.

One day, you and me,

we're going to tangle.

Go ahead. Try it.

You want me to try it?

You left and went to college,

now you're a tough guy?

I'll try it.

Stop it! Both of you!

Don't make me use

my judo moves, man!

I want to kill myself!

My shirt!

Be careful not to

track any snow in.

Hi, Grace.

I'm not content

to be with you in the daytime

Girl, I want to be
