Not Fade Away Page #6

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.

- What?

The other night, you said

your cellar was flooded.

Oh, yeah.

All right, let's stop.

Take it from the top.

# Yeah!

# You can get any

man you want going

# And you do it

# And don't say

you don't know that you do

# Well, baby, I ain't gonna

eat out my heart anymore

# So quit it

# I love you,

I love you I do, girl

# But you ain't gonna

cheat on me

# I need you,

I need you I do, girl

# Choose, is it him or me?

# Yeah!

# You better watch

your step or, girl

I thought the tall kid

was gonna sing backup.

# Well, baby, I ain't gonna

eat out my heart anymore

# I ain't gonna eat out

my heart anymore

# I ain't gonna eat out

my heart anymore

Got to admit, that's pretty good.

Did you hear the A side

where I sang the lead

on the Arthur "Big Boy"

Crudup tune?

Yeah.

I didn't like that as much.

Hey.

Yo, Schindewulf!

Have you seen the

Return of the Magnificent Seven?

- Guillermo!

- Eugenio!

- Dave Smith.

- Hey, Billy.

I was saying, where

are you stationed?

The Da Nang sector.

I can't divulge the base location.

Hey, somebody said that

you were in the Marine Band

down at the White House.

I tested out to D.M. school.

- You don't play drums

anymore? - No.

What's D.M. school?

I got a scholarship

to BM. school.

I produce such immense logs.

Distinguished Marksman.

I'm a sniper.

Remington model 700,

All right.

You kill guys with

that thing?

Have you forgotten

your old friend?

I told you we were closed.

I'm Hank Quinlan.

I didn't recognize you.

You should lay off

those candy bars.

It's either the candy

or the hooch.

I must say, I wish it was your

chili I was getting fat on.

Anyway, you're

sure looking good.

You're a mess, honey.

Yeah.

That pianola

sure brings back memories.

Look at this f***ing guy.

Fore!

Now that's some

funny sh*t, man.

Look at this guy.

Watching Dr. King on the TV, leading

that march in Chicago?

- Did you see that, Leon?

- Sh*t, yeah.

They threw stones at him.

Damn!

It was hard to get up

and come to work today.

Had those bullfrogs

on your mind.

What?

"Woke up this morning,

had those bullfrogs on my mind."

- I don't follow you.

- Blind Willie McTell.

When you're

singing the blues,

the lyric line often starts,

"Woke up this morning."

Then life just comes

and fucks you over, right?

I don't sing blues.

I'm a deacon at my church.

Like that

Son House tune, man.

"Woke up this morning,

had those Statesboro blues.

"Looked over in the corner,

sister had 'em, too."

You want to hear

some gorgeous blues

you need to listen

to Duke Ellington or Tony Bennett.

Tony Bennett?

He's Italian.

What kind of movie is this?

Nothing happens.

And there's no
