Phil Spector Page #3

Tell us, Las Vegas,

what we...

LINDA:
The girl,

Bruce--you show that

in the courtroom,

what do you get?

You get sympathy.

Your only

realpolitik,

your only shot is

to attack the girl,

and that's a loser

because the jury

turns away from you

like that.

OK.

I got a guy...

sure looks guilty.

You tell me,

what do I do?

LANA:
Sex symbol...

He changed the tune

as he came to me.

He's entitled

to a defense.

What would you tell

your students?

Would you say,

"Don't take the case

if it offends

your sensibilities,"

or is he presumed

innocent?

Because you're

screwed up,

because you

read the same gossip

everybody else did,

so you think

he's guilty.

All right, they

think he's guilty.

What are you going

to do about it?

I won't attack

the girl.

Oh, yeah.

Gonna happen.

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah.

Yeah.

[Linda coughs]

BRUCE:
Linda!

Linda!

I can't try the case

I wish I had, the

defendant I wish I had,

and I inherited

the jury.

In a locked room,

he shot the girl.

What can I do

to defend him?

He's got cancer,

Linda.

You don't go

to a dermatologist.

You got cancer,

you come to me.

Now, what is

my case?

MAGGIE:
Bruce, New York's

on the phone.

It's urgent.

I won't

attack the girl.

Then you tell me.

JAMES:
The doctor

will meet us at the hotel.

[Elevator bell rings]

Thank you.

[Maggie clears throat]

[Sigh]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Elevator door closes]

MAN:
The guns

were about the girls.

This guy, his feet

size is zero.

I mean, he couldn't

get laid in a whorehouse

with a money machine.

Now--now

he's the starmaker.

He's f***ing the Ronettes,

Darlene Love, Cher...

Who the f*** knows who he's

f***ing--Angela Lansbury.

I don't know.

Now look. His power

is starting to wane.

Do you think he's

gonna give that up?

He's following

Ronnie around.

She goes for a cup

of coffee,

he's got 3 private

detectives on her trail.

INTERVIEWER:

Mm-hmm.

The whole thing was about,

"How do I keep these

broads?"

But he didn't

want to keep them.

That's true.

Why?

Ha.

He didn't know

what love was.

He knew what

p*ssy was,

and that's as close

as he came.

INTERVIEWER:
What's

your favorite of all

the things

that you mixed

in those days?

MAN ON VIDEO:
Well,

I mean, "River Deep,

Mountain High."

INTERVIEWER:
Yes.

MAN ON VIDEO:

That was the anthem.

INTERVIEWER:

Fantastic. Yeah.

MAN ON VIDEO:
Probably

one of the greatest

recordings ever made.

At least, that's

what Phil would say.

INTERVIEWER:
Yeah.

So I suppose you

guys were editing

everything

with a razor?

MAN ON VIDEO:
Well,

it was the old days.

You know, you got to clip

everything, and it was mono,

so you know.
