what they throw away.

Like, if nobody orders French fries...

...an hour after they, re made,

they throw them out.

It's like a law or something.

How's this?

Oh, excellent. Roughage.

I don't know what we'll do

when we get to the desert.

I guess Charlie's got it figured out.

Is Charlie really taking us

to the desert?

Yeah, after Helter Skelter comes down.

What's that?

Charlie only talks about it

with the guys, a war...

...between the blacks and whites,

the blacks are gonna start it...

...but we'll be in the desert by then.

How long have you known Charlie?

Oh, I met the soul

in San Francisco on the Haight.

I was dancing in a booby bar,

and I met him on the street.

He sang songs to me.

I would love to hear him sing.

He gave me the name Sadie.

you're in love with him already.

- Aren't you?

- Charlie is love.

I once saw him pick up a dead bird, breathe

on it, the bird flew away. He changes you.

Before I met him, I was totally lost.

I didn't even know what I was here for.

I hated everybody,

and now I love everybody.

That's what Charlie gave me.

That's what he gives everybody.

He just fills up the empty spaces.

Do you know he's Jesus?

Charlie.

Hey, man. Knock, okay?

Nobody showed.

Nobody showed.

We waited and we waited.

What the hell

are you talking about, Charlie?

Let's see now, when was that?

Oh, Thursday, yes.

Someone... Someone was supposed

to be coming by Thursday.

No one made any promises, man. Talk to

Melcher again if you think that will help.

Oh, Melcher, yeah. That was his name.

Well, I can't get to him, Dennis.

So here I am again.

Here I am as your brother,

once again, asking you...

...can... Would you call

him for me, again?

I, ll give him one more chance.

Be no problem.

Look, I did what I could.

I got you on tape, didn't I?

Well, yeah, maybe you got me on

a demo tape, man, but where is the deal?

Where is the album?

Where is that album

you know I got to get out?

- What do you want me to do, Charlie?

- How about doing what you said you'd do...

...Mr. Beach Boy?

- I didn't make any promises.

Maybe you scared Melcher away.

Well, I, ll tell you what.

I got a new song for you.

It's called,, I Need $ 1500.,,

Forget it, man.

You cost me thousands already.

I had to move out of my house...

...because you guys wrecked it.

- The way I see it...

...you thought you'd take my music...

...my music, tie it up in a little Beach Boys

bow, turn around and say,,, Charlie, no, no.

You don't have any money coming.

You don't have any money coming.,,

Is that right?

What the hell is this?

That's for you.

You go ahead, you take that.

And every time you look at that,

I just want you to think:
