Not Fade Away Page #4

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.

with you all of the time

Oh, hey.

- I really like your dress.

- Thanks.

- Did you get it for Christmas?

- Yeah, from my mother.

- It's nice.

- The music's neato.

I'm going to check

out the band.

Great party.

# All day and all of the night

# I believe that you

and me last forever

# Oh, yeah, all day

and nighttime yours

# Leave me never

# The only time I feel all right

is by your side

# Girl, I want to be with you

all of the time

# All day and all of the night

# All day and all of the night

It's too f***ing cold.

Let's go inside.

Yeah. Okay.

She may not be coming

back to school next year.

Are you serious?

Where is she gonna go?

- I don't know. Rutgers?

- Really?

That grass seemed

kind of weak.

You smoke a lot at Vassar?

This guy from Harvard

I was dating, he did.

Harvard?

The guy liked that place?

I guess.

He's an adjunct professor.

Medieval Persian poetry.

Your basement is cool.

That.

Yeah.

So, what, you're not going out

with that guy anymore?

The Persian guy?

He's not Persian.

That's not what I said.

How come you never

talked to me in high school?

We talked.

Miss Vogel's class?

Once. You said something

about the pencil sharpener.

I really liked you.

- Yeah, I know.

- You knew that?

F***ing Wells.

He didn't say anything.

You like Wells,

don't you?

My parents and his mother

belong to the club.

Anyway, he likes this

girl at Oberlin.

But you like him, don't you?

He's funny.

He makes me laugh.

- You have a good voice.

- Pardon?

Thanksgiving at Karen's house,

when you sang lead?

The band sounded more

soulful than tonight.

I hope that doesn't

piss you off.

Anyway,

it's just my opinion.

You guys don't have

a name yet?

Wells' latest idea:

He wants to call us

the Lord Byrons.

He's got a lot of say.

He's an art genius,

trades off lead guitars, keyboards.

Time is on your side.

If you are at home

when a surprise attack occurs,

crawl beneath

a table if it is very near.

Or drop to the floor

with your back to the window.

The immediate danger

is over in about a minute.

The ball is moving!

Five! Four!

Three! Two! One!

Happy New Year!

He won't even call me!

I'm so sorry.

Let's go upstairs.

He won't even call me!

You're gonna be all right.

Submitted for

your approval,

one Max Phillips.

A slightly worse-for-wear

maker of book

who is soon to

discover that man is

not as wise as he thinks,

said lesson

to be learned in

the Twilight Zone.

Grace went to the Little Falls diner

with some people.

I was just looking

for a bathroom.

Could you help me with this?

Robert Johnson.

I so dig Chicago blues.

That's all we played

during Freedom Summer.

Delta blues.
