Psych-Out Page #4

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.

Hello.

Hi.

We brought you some donuts.

Too nice. Thank you.

This is Jenny... she's deaf.

She's lovely, man.

You know, I like sound, but

sometimes I prefer silence.

Is she your chick?

Not really.

No big thing?

I like her.

Then you don't mind if she

stays here with me, then?

You know, that would

be up to her, wouldn't it.

Still, games ..

You're beautiful.

Is... love lesson number one over, man?

All the games have to go, man.

Because it's all one

big, plastic hassle.

So live in a jelly jar.

You see this little beam of light.

Well, that's all there is.

The rest is in your head.

Yeah... except we're in a box on a roof.

In San Francisco, in America.

So it seems.

So it seems?

Okay... listen ..

We're looking for Jenny's brother.

Steve Davis. Do you know him?

Oh "The Seeker". Yeah, I know him.

Where... where is he?

You seek The Seeker and

The Seeker seeks God.

Wouldn't you rather ask God?

We used to have long talks.

When he was lecturing in the park.

He had quite a big following.

Do you have any idea where he lives?

Well, I've seen him a couple

of times around 9th and 4th.

But you don't have an address?

There is no such thing as an address.

it's the city dump.

The Minister seemed

like such a nice man.

How can he stand these people

and the way they dress?

I've never seen so many... things.

Things and more things that

people spent their lives to buy.

An output of a productive society, man.

Junk.

It's getting late. We'll not find him

wandering around in this garbage heap.

Let's get out of here.

Stoney, right there!

"JESUS SAVES".

It's got two letters missing.

He left out the "U" and the "V".

"JESS SAES".

So that's what it was.

Stoney... Stoney, look

It looks like the right address.

All burned out, Stoney.

It's been abandoned.

A dead end.

Hey, look at the flower children.

The funny folk.

My, what a pretty little car.

Yeah, it looks just like a garden.

What's it run on? Fertilizer?

Flower power!

No, it flies, like a fairy.

You want to drive it?

Hey, water it and let's watch it grow.

Hey, ain't you kind of far from

home? What are you doing here?

We're just looking for somebody.

Yeah, who's that?

Just a guy.

What's his name?

He's called "The Seeker".

What do you want him for?

I'm his sister.

Oh yeah?

Well, you'd better find him before we

do, as there won't be anything left.

What's he done?

That's none of your business.

Well... look what I've

found. A real love child.

Nice long hair . oh, look at

this pretty necklace of his.

Why... why do you want

to hurt my brother?

Because he's got a big mouth.

Because he says a lot

of things we don't like.

What... what kind of things?
