[indistinct chatter]
- Are you coming to the show?
Who do you like better,
me or Miles Davis?
- We're proud
to present the man
in the nation
for both trumpet and vocals.
All the way from the sunny
shores of California,
the James Dean of jazz,
the Prince of Cool,
the man "Time" magazine credits
with inventing West Coast Swing.
[cheers and applause]
That's right, folks.
And he's here
playing a double bill
with our very own Miles Davis
and Dizzy Gillespie.
Making his Birdland debut,
Chet Baker
and his quartet!
[cheers and applause]
- It's gonna be great.
It's gonna be great.
- How do I look?
- Perfect.

- Shh!
Elaine? Honey?
[music continues]
II:
[both laugh]
Yeah!
II:
- And then you wait
till it melts.
I can't believe
You're so square.
- I hate needles.
Will you do it for me?
- Yeah.
Hello, fear.
- Hello, fear.
Aah!
- Get it tight.
Hello, death.
- Hello, death.
- F*ck you.
- F*ck you.
II:
[door opens]
Oh, hey, babe.
Hey, hey.
- Get out.
Get out!
Take your shit with you!
And you too!
I should have known.
Stop it!
God damn it!
- I'm so sorry.
- It was, like, a week.
That is your child.
- [indistinct mumbling]
- What is this shit?
What is this shit?
[breathing heavily]
You did this
because of Miles?
Chet, say something!
- Shh.
Shh!
See, once you're here,
it's like you're crawling back
inside your mama's womb
clinking and clanging.
It all melts away,
and you can hear.
- This is the scene
where you're meant
to do heroin
for the first time.
- I know what scene it is.
- Those are not the lines.
- Well, he told me
to make up lines.
He said he wanted it
to be improve.
- But that's way off script.
Come on.
- Well, the whole thing
is fake.
I mean, if you want it
to be real,
there should just be puke
everywhere.
It wasn't like this at all.
I was 22, for f*ck's sake.
- That's going way, way off
script, Chet.
- I don't know
what the f*ck I'm doing.
Can we just
do the make-out part again?
- I lost a nail.
- All right, guys.
- Yeah.
[telephone ringing]
- Do you want
to rehearse the scene,
or do you want to pick up
on Monday?
- We'll pick up on Monday.
- All right, folks, that's
a wrap. See you next week.
- That's unprofessional, Chet.
- Jane?
- Yeah.
- Jane, that was great.
- I don't think so.
- Keep doing what you're doing.
- Okay, you sure?
- Yeah, just keep improvising.
You'll be okay.
- All right.
Appreciate it.
Oh, thanks, Ellie.
[indistinct chatter]
make him look like a nice guy.
- No, no, what you're doing
is making me look
like a clown.
- Oh, are you Dick Bock?
- Yeah, yeah, I-
Chettie!
- Hey, Dick.
- Why didn't you tell me
you were back in the US
and now you're shooting
a movie?
- Well, I...
- I thought you had
another couple of years in jail.
- Well, I-I was supposed to,
you know,
but then this director, he's
like, he's super talented-
- Oh, and he offered you
a lot of money?
- Well, he paid somebody;
that's for sure.
