What's Love Got to Do with It Page #4

My goodness! What's a fine young thing

like you doin' with two grown daughters?

Hey, miss Alline.

- How can I help you, Mr...

- Turner. Ike Turner.

The Kings of Rhythm. We play

down at the Club Royal every...

Listen, Mrs. Bullock,

Anna Mae sang at the club last night.

- She knocked everybody out.

- Oh, sure did.

Mr. Turner say

I got a flair, mama.

- The kind that would sell records.

- Mama, Anna Mae can sing.

I didn't pay for Anna Mae

to come all the way up here...

from Nutbush, Tennessee, to be

wastin' time with a bunch of musicians.

Well, wait a minute, mama.

It wasn't like that. Anna Mae...

- Alline, take Anna Mae in the back.

- But, mama...

Yes, ma'am.

- Come on, Anna Mae.

- Go on, girl.

Mr. Turner, I don't know

what you had in mind, but...

this little girl's

gonna be a nurse...

and bring a steady

paycheck in this house.

Yes, ma'am, but, Miss Bullock...

did you ever see a nurse drivin'

an automobile as fine as mine?

Me, neither. May I?

Now, look here, if you

let Anna Mae work with me...

I guarantee you she'll be

makin' big money in no time.

You tellin' me

Anna Mae sing that good?

Put it like this: I could get anybody

in St. Louis to sing in my band,

but I want her.

Think about it. Let her

come to a few rehearsals.

Let me work with her.

You're welcome to sit in if you like.

You have my word as a gentleman

she'll be under my protection.

You know, I noticed my boys...

crushed some of your flowers

accidentally outside.

That should cover the damages.

We'll be expectin' her

around 7:
00 this evening.

It's been a pleasure

meeting you, Miss Bullock, and...

you have a nice day.

Make me over

Make me nice

And when I'm done

Oh, I wanna be right

I wanna be made of...

Anna Mae, you're gonna have to

sing rougher. You hear me?

Rougher! From here.

Okay? All right.

We gonna take it from the top.

Here we go.

And one, two, three, and...

I'm talkin' to the priest

Rougher, Anna Mae.

The high priest

Come on. Rougher.

And everybody out there

in the universe

If what I'm sayin' is wrong...

I don't understand what

you mean by "rougher".

Tell me what to say.

What's "rougher" mean?

Sing.

'Cause I wanna be made over.

Now you got that girl

screamin' like a maniac.

Yes, ma'am.

Keep singin', Anna Mae.

That don't make

no sense to me.

Look here. That's what sells

records, Mrs. Bullock.

Look, do you want a drink?

Yeah, I want a drink,

but I wanna watch this rehearsal.

Keep singin'.

Come on. I'll get you a drink

in the back. Come on, Alline.

- Come on. I'll get you a drink.

- I wanna watch this rehearsal.

Give me a liniment

and wash me clean

Make me over

Make me nice

And when I'm done
