A Star Is Born Page #5

- It'll be John Norman's decision.

- I don't have all day.

- Let's move it.

- What? Cancel what out?

The tour's a disaster and the promoters

won't take that kind of sh*t.

Late starts and the legal hassles,

damage to the halls.

Somebody has to be realistic. Yes?

$27,000 deducted for vodka,

$11,000 for orange juice.

The man likes screwdrivers.

Why don't you go and get laid,

it's been almost three hours.

- Then there's the tax lean.

- We've got 50% going out to taxes.

By the time he pays his agent's fees,

business management, expenses, dues...

What does the government

want from him?

$186,654.32.

Come on, John.

You're getting to be a cosmic joke.

Come on, enough is enough.

John, I've had inexhaustible patience.

Come on, man, I've kept my temper.

I've left you alone to do as you please.

Now you've got to help.

I can put you into the Indian Relief Benefit,

if you get there on time.

The promoters don't give a sh*t.

They'll put you in anything,

if they can make a buck.

- Who the hell is that?

- John Norman Howard...

an oldie but a goodie on KLAX.

Hey, John Norman...

- Wait a minute, Bebe Jesus.

- Bebe Jesus.

Hey, big John, why don't you

come down and rap with us, man...

on our All-time Top 40 weekend?

Three of which

are John Norman Howard's.

Platinum Planet played by Bebe Jesus!

50,000 watts of KLAX power, man.

- John Norman, up here.

- John!

Don't shoot, big John.

Hey, man, we're on your side, man.

Don't do it!

See that?

You crazy bastard.

48 straight hit-making hours and not once

am I gonna mention your name.

Sh*t face!

Very funny, Howard.

Hello, police?

I need to report a sniper.

A sniper.

That's an unknown person who fires a gun.

God damn it,

I don't know how many shots he fired.

He just fired at us. That's all.

I'm Bobby Ritchie.

John Norman Howard's road manager.

I love it here in Hollywood,

it's so much fun.

Honey.

- You, the one on the right.

- Which one?

The kinky-headed one. Yeah, you.

You're too strong anyway,

pull it down some.

- Okay, listen, one more time, okay?

- Okay.

I know it's funny, but we need the money.

- Take 7.

- We got the first part, let's do a pick up.

Girls, we've already got the first part,

so let's just pick it up from:

- "Kittens have to chew."

- Okay.

- It's "Love to chew."

- "Love to chew."

"That kittens love to chew."

"That kittens love to chew."

- Right. Yes, sir.

- Got it, all right.

Rolling.

Meow Chow cat food commercial, Take 7.

I'm hungry.

This is terrible, you can't...

How do you think the old cats feel?

Forget about that. Just get rid of her.

Okay, girls, Take 10.

Try to pull yourselves together.

- Okay.
