Psych-Out Page #3

Synopsis: Jenny, a deaf runaway who has just arrived in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district to find her long-lost brother, a mysterious bearded sculptor known around town as The Seeker. She falls in with a psychedelic band, Mumblin' Jim, whose members include Stoney, Ben, and Elwood. They hide her from the fuzz in their crash pad, a Victorian house crowded with love beads and necking couples. Mumblin' Jim's truth-seeking friend Dave considers the band's pursuit of success "playing games," but he agrees to help Jennie anyway.

What?

Your wife. She wants me.

Man, I've got my own problems.

He told me he'd pummel and pound me into

motorcycle grease if I even look at you.

Well, uh... there's a bathroom

down the hall if you want to use it.

I can't see your lips

too well in the dark.

I said ..

You can stay here

tonight if you want to.

Thank you.

Hey.

Ouch ..

Everything cool?

Hmm.

What do you see?

Well ..

Through a stained-glass window.

There's something running

on your sleeve.

I think it's a louse.

Yeah... that's Manny.

Stoney, Stoney! Warren is

freaking out at the gallery.

Okay Warren.

It's okay, everything is cool. No sweat.

I'm okay... I'm really okay, man.

A few things have been happening, but ..

No, Stoney don't.

Easy, easy Warren. Easy.

Hey, easy boy. Easy ..

Easy, don't fight it, man. Whatever

it is, just relax and go right with it.

You know, I'm okay. Yeah... I'm fine.

I've been seeing a couple of things but ..

I can come out of it any time I want to.

You know, all I have to do is ..

Snap my fingers and I come out of it.

Al I ever have to do is snap my fingers.

Hey Warren.

Snap your fingers.

Well you see ..

It's not working this time.

It's just not ..

Guys... now you stay away.

Stay away from me please.

Warren... Warren, let us help you.

Warren, whatever it is, it's

in your mind. It isn't real.

We're your friends.

Stay away!

No... please ..

Stay away!

Now, you stay away... please.

You just stay away.

Stay away.

Stay... oh my God ..

Oh my God! I can't stand it!

I got to cut it off.

I've got to cut it off! I've got to cut it off!

It's okay... it's okay.

I can't stand it!

It's okay baby, it's okay.

It's Elwood, it's Elwood.

Why does he take that stuff?

Don't judge people, Jenny.

I'm not judging. I just don't understand

why anyone would do that.

Jenny... Jenny, listen to me

and try to understand.

There happens to be a risk in

everything. Even crossing the street.

A man. He's got to search out for

himself to get any rewards from life.

It's as simple as that.

Like that?

You don't understand. Listen, Nietzsche

says that it's a very simple thing.

This is Steve's. My brother

Steve... he made this.

Your brother made this?

Yes.

Well, I know him. They

call him "The Seeker".

Do you know where we can find him?

Dave knows.

We've been looking all over for you.

Oh yeah? Why?

Because you're my friend.

And because we uh... need

you to play with us.

You still playing games, Stoney?

Since when is music a game?

Playing it makes me feel good.

So does a pay-check.

Yeah, the old bad thing.

The root of all evil, right?

No, not bad or good.

There is only the truth.

Oh, the truth. Old black-and-whitey.
