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?
