Quadrophenia Page #3

Synopsis: London, 1965: Like many other youths, Jimmy hates the philistine life, especially his parents and his job in a company's mailing division. Only when he's together with his friends, a 'Mod' clique, cruising London on his motor-scooter and hearing music such as that of 'The Who' and 'The High Numbers', does he feel free and accepted. However, it's a flight into an illusionary world.

Can I have that one? Ta.

Here, Dan,

you seen what's goin' on in there?

Go in there, it's a laugh.

You'll love it.

Cheers.

- Penny for your thoughts.

- Oh, let's have some.

Come on, Monkey, don't mess about.

Not unless you give me something first.

What?

You always have to ask, don't you?

One, two, three for you.

- Where'd you get these?

- That'd be telling.

You forgot I work for a chemist.

Oi!

- What's going on?

- Come on, then.

Come on, let's go.

People try to put us down

Talkin' about my generation

Just because we get around

Talkin' about my generation

Things they do look awful cold

Talkin' about my generation

Hope I die before I get old

My generation

My generation, baby

Why don't you all...

F*** off!

Don't try and dig what we all s-s-say

Not trying to cause

a big s-s-sensation

Just talkin' about my g-g-generation

My generation

My generation, baby

And again! Come on!

Why don't you all just fade away?

Talkin' about my generation

And don't try to dig what we all say

Talkin' about my generation

No!

- Dave?

- Leave it out, Jim, will you?

- Give us a break.

- I'm sorry, John.

Get in there.

- Dave?

- What?

- What are you doing?

- What do you think?

Oh, yeah.

Where have I seen that face before?

- Are you all right?

- Yeah, get in there, my son.

- Piss off, will ya?

- Sorry.

Shut the door!

What's that daft geezer doing now?

Oi!

- Knock it off.

- Mind where you're going.

Jimmy!

Jim!

Great!

- What is it?

- Oh, my God!

Look at my plants.

Every year is the same

And I feel it again

A loser

No chance to win

Leaves start falling

Comedown is calling

Loneliness starts sinking in

But I'm one

I am one

And I can see

That this is me

And I will be

You'll all see I'm the one

Here y'are.

- And the paper.

- Thank you.

- Take that to Mr. Phelps.

- Mr. Phelps, eh.

- Here y'are...

- You're late.

The letters.

Saw the rushes today, Michael.

- The "people like you" film. And?

- I'd like you to look at them.

- Sure. What's the problem?

- The overall campaign's going well.

- Seen the posters?

- Yes. Gorgeous tart.

The trouble is the clients

are getting over-greedy.

As usual.

They want to corner

the entire youth market.

Cut right across the groupings.

Well, it's all right with As and Bs.

Training professionals, young managers,

graduates, that type of person.

It's Cs and Ds I'm worried about.

A little bit upmarket for them.

I'll have a look at it for you,

with pleasure.

- 2.30 all right?

- Fine.

You don't think this talk of lung cancer

will make any difference?

Oh, no. Young people like it.

They don't worry about that sort of

thing. Glad I gave it up when I did.
