1
00:00:00,734 --> 00:00:04,321
Theorizing that one could time travel
within his own lifetime,
2
00:00:04,446 --> 00:00:07,741
Dr. Sam Beckett stepped
into the Quantum Leap accelerator...
3
00:00:07,825 --> 00:00:09,451
and vanished.
4
00:00:14,623 --> 00:00:17,376
He awoke to find himself
trapped in the past,
5
00:00:17,626 --> 00:00:20,546
facing mirror images
that were not his own...
6
00:00:20,629 --> 00:00:25,384
and driven by an unknown force
to change history for the better.
7
00:00:26,009 --> 00:00:30,472
His only guide on this journey is Al,
an observer from his own time,
8
00:00:30,556 --> 00:00:35,102
who appears in the form of a hologram
that only Sam can see and hear.
9
00:00:35,394 --> 00:00:39,606
And so, Dr. Beckett finds himself
leaping from life to life,
10
00:00:40,524 --> 00:00:43,277
striving to put right
what once went wrong...
11
00:00:43,444 --> 00:00:45,863
and hoping each time
that his next leap...
12
00:00:45,946 --> 00:00:48,031
will be the leap home.
13
00:00:52,703 --> 00:00:55,247
- Get on down there! Move it!
- What's goin' on?
14
00:00:55,330 --> 00:00:57,624
- Find out soon enough, boy.
- Huh?
15
00:00:58,250 --> 00:01:00,377
You need a little trim, Elvis.
16
00:01:01,795 --> 00:01:03,213
Elvis?
17
00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:06,884
Oh, boy.
18
00:02:20,958 --> 00:02:23,710
Uh, look, guys, I-I think if we
just discuss this,
19
00:02:23,794 --> 00:02:27,422
if we, you know, uh, talk about this,
we can work it all out.
20
00:02:27,506 --> 00:02:28,966
- Is that what you're thinkin'?
- Yeah.
21
00:02:29,049 --> 00:02:30,717
We should take a little
off the top first.
22
00:02:30,801 --> 00:02:33,011
Maybe I ought to take
some off your top first.
23
00:02:40,561 --> 00:02:42,187
On your feet!
24
00:02:42,354 --> 00:02:46,066
- We ain't through with you yet!
- I'm all shook up!
25
00:02:46,817 --> 00:02:49,152
- Will you quit pickin' fights?
- Huh?
26
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:51,655
I-I-I didn't pick that fight.
27
00:02:52,698 --> 00:02:54,992
But I want to thank you
for your help though.
28
00:02:55,117 --> 00:02:56,994
- Thanks for your help?
- Yeah.
29
00:02:57,077 --> 00:02:59,037
Since when don't I help you?
30
00:02:59,121 --> 00:03:01,290
Well, I mean,
thanks for your help again.
31
00:03:01,373 --> 00:03:03,500
- Again. All the time.
- Yeah.
32
00:03:03,625 --> 00:03:06,670
Well, we gotta get out there
and... comb that hair.
33
00:03:06,753 --> 00:03:08,755
It looks like a chicken
scratched in it.
34
00:03:31,153 --> 00:03:33,488
Somebody ought to put that thing
out of its misery.
35
00:03:33,655 --> 00:03:36,366
- Anybody got a skillet?
- Sam? Sam?
36
00:03:36,617 --> 00:03:39,244
You'll never guess who's
in the waiting room.
37
00:03:39,536 --> 00:03:43,290
Elvis Presley.
You're him, and he's you.
38
00:03:43,415 --> 00:03:45,042
I know I'm him, and he's me.
39
00:03:46,001 --> 00:03:49,296
Mmm-me-me, me-me
40
00:03:50,547 --> 00:03:52,341
Just warming up a little bit.
41
00:03:52,924 --> 00:03:54,301
I'll tell you one thing I
would like to know though
42
00:03:54,384 --> 00:03:55,552
is what the heck I'm doin' here.
43
00:03:55,677 --> 00:03:56,928
Ziggy's working on it,
44
00:03:57,004 --> 00:04:00,776
but she's working with diminished
capacity because she's starstruck.
45
00:04:00,867 --> 00:04:04,928
I told you you were crazy.
Thank the Lord this is only a rehearsal.
46
00:04:05,312 --> 00:04:06,563
Do you know who this is?
47
00:04:06,688 --> 00:04:09,110
This is Red West,
one of Elvis's best friends.
48
00:04:09,163 --> 00:04:10,623
This is incredible, huh?
49
00:04:15,781 --> 00:04:17,324
Oh, no.
50
00:04:26,958 --> 00:04:29,294
She's gonna barf
all over the place.
51
00:04:29,419 --> 00:04:31,046
I think he's right.
52
00:04:34,383 --> 00:04:35,467
Poor thing.
53
00:04:35,550 --> 00:04:37,785
Well, looks like we're
gonna have to move on here.
54
00:04:37,886 --> 00:04:39,846
For the time being anyway.
55
00:04:40,514 --> 00:04:42,391
Jus-Jus-Just take it easy now.
56
00:04:42,516 --> 00:04:45,143
Just catch your breath, all right?
Just breathe, okay?
57
00:04:46,311 --> 00:04:49,147
Uh, Sam, watch out.
You're gonna be wearing her lunch.
58
00:04:53,276 --> 00:04:55,445
- Poor thing.
- Yeah.
59
00:04:57,155 --> 00:04:58,532
So?
60
00:04:59,282 --> 00:05:00,492
- So?
- So?
61
00:05:00,575 --> 00:05:01,660
So?
62
00:05:01,785 --> 00:05:04,204
I know Ziggy is working under some
kind of a diminished capacity,
63
00:05:04,329 --> 00:05:06,331
but she's gotta have some idea
as to what I'm doin' here, right?
64
00:05:06,415 --> 00:05:09,209
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
You're singing in the...
65
00:05:09,334 --> 00:05:11,461
Southern Salute to America.
No.
66
00:05:11,545 --> 00:05:14,047
It's a talent contest.
This here is a rehearsal.
67
00:05:14,172 --> 00:05:16,383
No, no, no.
Why am I here as Elvis Presley?
68
00:05:16,508 --> 00:05:19,094
Because this is a very
important time in Elvis's life.
69
00:05:19,177 --> 00:05:21,388
In only two days,
he gets discovered.
70
00:05:21,471 --> 00:05:23,140
He gets discovered just
fine without my help.
71
00:05:23,265 --> 00:05:25,142
- You're not here to help Elvis.
- What?
72
00:05:25,267 --> 00:05:26,893
Eighty-one percent chance
you're here to help Sue Anne.
73
00:05:27,018 --> 00:05:29,020
- Well--
- But not now!
74
00:05:29,187 --> 00:05:31,565
Al, I gotta go find her.
I may never see her again.
75
00:05:31,690 --> 00:05:34,401
You'll see her again. She's a local.
She works at Taylor's Diner.
76
00:05:34,484 --> 00:05:36,778
If I'm supposed to help her,
why can't I start helping her now?
77
00:05:36,862 --> 00:05:38,530
- Because no matter what you do,
- Yeah?
78
00:05:38,613 --> 00:05:42,325
you cannot, not, not,
not mess up for Elvis,
79
00:05:42,451 --> 00:05:45,078
Or change anything,
'cause you'll change history big-time.
80
00:05:45,328 --> 00:05:49,499
If I go check on Sue Anne, how is
that gonna effect Elvis's life big-time?
81
00:05:49,583 --> 00:05:52,544
- Well, it is, because... you're on.
- Is Elvis Presley here?
82
00:05:52,669 --> 00:05:54,588
- Huh? On?
- On!
83
00:05:54,713 --> 00:05:56,298
- I'm on?
- On. You're on.
84
00:05:56,548 --> 00:05:58,175
- On?
- On.

Just have Ziggy get me
outta here fast, okay?
100
00:06:51,812 --> 00:06:53,605
All righty, here now.
Who's next here?
101
00:06:53,730 --> 00:06:56,149
Just remember, you're a legend.
102
00:06:56,233 --> 00:06:59,110
Uh, where's that square dancin'group,
the Hicks Hoppers?
103
00:06:59,361 --> 00:07:01,446
Now, what happened to you
up there, Elvis?
104
00:07:02,489 --> 00:07:05,242
I-I just was having
kind of an off day, you know?
105
00:07:05,367 --> 00:07:07,619
- Ain't that the truth.
- Yeah.
106
00:07:14,125 --> 00:07:16,670
Miss, we're ready to
order over here.
107
00:07:16,795 --> 00:07:17,921
"Miss"?
108
00:07:18,046 --> 00:07:20,590
When did you start
callin' Sue Anne "miss"?
109
00:07:21,174 --> 00:07:22,968
I'm just kiddin' around, you know?
110
00:07:28,380 --> 00:07:31,935
- You say you're ready to order?
- Yes. Let's see. Uh--
111
00:07:32,018 --> 00:07:34,604
I hope she can stand
the sight of food.
112
00:07:34,771 --> 00:07:36,481
I heard that, Red.
113
00:07:36,690 --> 00:07:39,776
Aw, come on, Sue Anne.
Now, I was just kiddin'.
114
00:07:40,026 --> 00:07:43,113
Don't go takin' it to heart.
Wait. I'll handle it, okay?
115
00:07:46,032 --> 00:07:48,326
I'm-I'm really sorry.
116
00:07:48,451 --> 00:07:50,328
W-We don't mean
to hurt your feelings.
117
00:07:52,163 --> 00:07:54,541
You know, I-I came here
especially just to see you.
118
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,421
Elvis, the two of you been comin' here
long as I can remember,
119
00:07:59,629 --> 00:08:01,339
and you never paid me
no never mind before.
120
00:08:01,464 --> 00:08:05,218
Well, that was before.
But now, it's different.
121
00:08:05,343 --> 00:08:07,971
I mean, we used to come here
for different reasons.
122
00:08:08,388 --> 00:08:11,725
I-I-I-I'm sorry. My--
123
00:08:11,850 --> 00:08:15,395
My head's a little shook up
from the rehearsal still.
124
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,773
I-I-I was pretty scared.
Yeah. I know the feeling.
125
00:08:19,190 --> 00:08:21,568
But, you know, stage fright
can be a good thing.
126
00:08:21,693 --> 00:08:24,362
Because once your, you know,
knees start to knockin',
127
00:08:24,487 --> 00:08:25,989
it kinda gets you moving.
128
00:08:26,072 --> 00:08:28,867
Yeah, well, I don't-I don't
worry much about my knees.
129
00:08:28,956 --> 00:08:30,040
Oh, yeah.
130
00:08:30,098 --> 00:08:31,632
I guess I'll never
make it to the Opry.
131
00:08:31,731 --> 00:08:34,456
- Why not?
- Why not? You just saw why not.
132
00:08:34,956 --> 00:08:37,292
- Julie, honey, order's up.
- Yeah.
133
00:08:37,918 --> 00:08:41,129
- Julie!
- I heard you the first time!
134
00:08:42,130 --> 00:08:43,882
- I'll see ya.
- See ya.
135
00:08:44,007 --> 00:08:47,218
That child's such a dreamer, she'd lose
her head if it wasn't screwed on tight.
136
00:08:47,344 --> 00:08:50,055
You know, there-there's nothing
wrong with being a dreamer.
137
00:08:50,180 --> 00:08:52,265
It hurts too much
when you wake up.
138
00:08:52,390 --> 00:08:54,267
You'll never know
unless you try.
139
00:08:54,726 --> 00:08:59,105
- Now, what's it matter to you?
- Uh, it just matters.
140
00:08:59,481 --> 00:09:02,484
You matter. Look,
141
00:09:03,443 --> 00:09:05,362
everybody should be a dreamer.
142
00:09:06,696 --> 00:09:09,074
You gotta reach for the stars,
not for the ceiling.
143
00:09:09,199 --> 00:09:12,577
But the ceiling keeps you
outta the rain. Excuse me.
144
00:09:15,246 --> 00:09:17,374
What kind of music
do you like the most?
145
00:09:18,208 --> 00:09:19,834
Uh, gospel, I guess.
146
00:09:20,543 --> 00:09:22,337
- Give me this.
- What are you doin'?
147
00:09:23,755 --> 00:09:25,382
- Sing something.
- What? Here?
148
00:09:25,548 --> 00:09:26,967
- Right now.
- I'll get fired.
149
00:09:27,084 --> 00:09:29,052
No, you won't get fired. Come on.
Sing something right now. Sing with me.
150
00:09:29,135 --> 00:09:30,553
I can't.
151
00:09:31,054 --> 00:09:32,472
Um--
152
00:10:49,632 --> 00:10:52,177
All right! All right!
153
00:10:52,469 --> 00:10:55,638
- All right!
- Yeah!
154
00:10:56,556 --> 00:10:58,808
You sing like an angel.
Aw, go on.
155
00:10:58,933 --> 00:11:01,853
No, you do. It's true.
You got a lot of talent.
156
00:11:01,978 --> 00:11:04,647
Well, then the good Lord must've
been smilin' down on me.
157
00:11:04,773 --> 00:11:06,399
You must've been
reachin' for the stars,
158
00:11:06,524 --> 00:11:08,318
'cause I don't think he could
see you through the ceiling.
159
00:11:08,818 --> 00:11:11,780
Come on! Let's do another
one! Come on! Let's go!
160
00:11:11,863 --> 00:11:14,115
Don't stop. Let's do
another one. Come on.
161
00:11:14,199 --> 00:11:16,117
- Let's do another one.
- I can't. I'm all sung out.
162
00:11:16,242 --> 00:11:17,160
Come on.
163
00:11:17,285 --> 00:11:18,745
You wanna do another one?
Let's do another one.
164
00:11:18,870 --> 00:11:20,080
You wanna hear
'em do another one?
165
00:11:20,205 --> 00:11:21,372
- Yeah!
- Here we go!
166
00:11:21,498 --> 00:11:22,624
- All righty.
- Oh!
167
00:11:22,749 --> 00:11:23,917
Ho!
168
00:11:24,084 --> 00:11:25,502
Sue Anne?
169
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,174
What in God's earth is goin' on here?
170
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,384
We're just havin' some fun.
171
00:11:33,510 --> 00:11:35,512
You're a lady, Sue Anne, and you will
comport yourself properly in public.
172
00:11:35,637 --> 00:11:37,972
Ooh, apple pie!
173
00:11:38,056 --> 00:11:40,517
- Look, we were just singing a song.
- Elvis's favorite. Mmm!
174
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,352
- Gospel, as a matter of fact.
- I wish I could taste it.
175
00:11:42,477 --> 00:11:45,563
Well, our type of people save
gospel singin' for Sunday mornin'.
176
00:11:45,688 --> 00:11:48,191
- I sing it whenever I can.
- That so, boy?
177
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,114
My name is Elvis Presley.
178
00:11:54,239 --> 00:11:56,449
- And you are--
- I know who you are.
179
00:11:56,533 --> 00:11:58,868
Everybody knows
you're bad news, boy.
180
00:11:58,952 --> 00:12:01,454
This nozzle
would be Frank Begley.
181
00:12:01,579 --> 00:12:03,373
I'm not sure I like being called a boy.
182
00:12:03,456 --> 00:12:06,000
And I don't like your type
hangin' around this establishment.
183
00:12:06,501 --> 00:12:09,045
That's a shame, 'cause, you know,
I-I was just gettin' ready...
184
00:12:09,170 --> 00:12:11,840
to sit down over here
and have some lunch.
185
00:12:12,006 --> 00:12:13,341
Would you care to join us?
186
00:12:13,424 --> 00:12:15,885
I don't eat with
barnyard animals.
187
00:12:16,678 --> 00:12:17,971
Let's go, Sue Anne.
188
00:12:18,096 --> 00:12:20,014
Well, what about the rest of my shift?
189
00:12:20,140 --> 00:12:22,350
Your sister can cover your shift.
Isn't that right, Julie?
190
00:12:22,433 --> 00:12:23,685
Yes.
191
00:12:24,477 --> 00:12:27,147
Now, you keep a distance
from my fiance, ya hear?
192
00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:31,484
Enjoy your food.
193
00:12:39,242 --> 00:12:41,202
He treats her like he owns her.
194
00:12:41,870 --> 00:12:45,582
Well, leave it alone, Elvis.
There's a lot more fish in the sea.
195
00:12:45,707 --> 00:12:48,668
- Frank Begley's a good catch.
- Do tell.
196
00:12:48,751 --> 00:12:51,421
His family owns the biggest
shoe factory in Louisville.
197
00:12:51,671 --> 00:12:53,339
Well, then, there now.
198
00:12:53,464 --> 00:12:56,593
Can you beat that?
The biggest shoe factory in Louisville.
199
00:12:56,676 --> 00:12:58,970
Sam, Julie's right.
Sue Anne marries Frank.
200
00:12:59,053 --> 00:13:01,848
They live in Louisville
where he runs the family business.
201
00:13:01,973 --> 00:13:04,559
- I guess she'll never go barefoot.
- Say what?
202
00:13:04,767 --> 00:13:08,271
Uh, nothin'. Nothin'.
Look, uh, you go on.
203
00:13:08,354 --> 00:13:10,098
I'm gonna make a phone
call, okay?
204
00:13:10,140 --> 00:13:11,149
All right.
205
00:13:11,198 --> 00:13:12,734
- See ya later, Red.
- See ya.
206
00:13:18,531 --> 00:13:20,575
- Did you hear her sing, Al?
- No.
207
00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:22,076
- How is she?
- She's great.
208
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,077
Yeah?
209
00:13:23,203 --> 00:13:24,704
It's gotta be what
she was meant to do.
210
00:13:24,829 --> 00:13:27,707
I don't know about that.
Ziggy says Sue Anne Winters...
211
00:13:27,832 --> 00:13:29,417
really didn't do anything
with her singing.
212
00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:31,753
She married Frank,
and he left her after two years.
213
00:13:31,836 --> 00:13:34,964
And he was kinda free and easy
with the back of his hand too.
214
00:13:35,089 --> 00:13:36,507
Well, we can't let that happen.
215
00:13:36,633 --> 00:13:38,885
Look, both of us know you're
here to help Sue Anne,
216
00:13:38,968 --> 00:13:41,512
but you can't mess up
anything for Elvis.
217
00:13:41,638 --> 00:13:43,932
All right. Look,
you just tell me what Elvis did,
218
00:13:44,057 --> 00:13:45,308
and I'll make sure that
I don't mess it up.
219
00:13:45,391 --> 00:13:46,517
Okay.
220
00:13:46,601 --> 00:13:49,979
In the morning, you gotta go into
the recording studio at Sun Records...
221
00:13:50,063 --> 00:13:52,565
and cut a record
for your mother's birthday,
222
00:13:52,649 --> 00:13:56,027
and at the same time
impress Marion Keisker.
223
00:13:56,152 --> 00:13:59,781
She works at Sun Records, and she
will play the record for Mr. Phillips,
224
00:13:59,906 --> 00:14:01,407
and the rest is history.
225
00:14:01,532 --> 00:14:03,076
You just gotta cut the
record tomorrow morning.
226
00:14:03,201 --> 00:14:04,369
All right. I'll be there.
227
00:14:04,494 --> 00:14:05,954
Now, what about Sue Anne?
228
00:14:06,162 --> 00:14:08,831
Uh, well, you're gonna see her at
the talent contest tomorrow night.
229
00:14:08,893 --> 00:14:11,251
She was going to drop
out, but you changed that.
230
00:14:11,376 --> 00:14:12,293
Okay. Good.
231
00:14:12,418 --> 00:14:15,421
Well, I gotta go.
I don't wanna be late here.
232
00:14:15,546 --> 00:14:16,839
Late for what?
233
00:14:16,930 --> 00:14:20,267
Elvis is gonna give a private little
concert for us in the waiting room.
234
00:14:20,343 --> 00:14:21,641
- What?
- Standing room only.
235
00:14:21,666 --> 00:14:22,911
I don't wanna be late.
236
00:14:23,179 --> 00:14:26,432
- What about me?
- What about you? Uh--
237
00:14:26,516 --> 00:14:28,476
Oh, you're late too.
You're late for dinner.
238
00:14:28,601 --> 00:14:30,311
- What?
- Yeah.
239
00:14:30,436 --> 00:14:32,563
Your mama's gonna be very unhappy.
240
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,359
Hi. How y'all doin'?
241
00:14:42,073 --> 00:14:44,117
Elvis Aaron Presley.
242
00:14:44,367 --> 00:14:46,536
I'm fit to be tied,
that's what I am.
243
00:14:46,619 --> 00:14:49,747
You better have a darn good excuse
for bein' late, young man.
244
00:14:49,998 --> 00:14:51,916
I'm sorry, ma'am, but I don't.
245
00:14:52,542 --> 00:14:53,710
Well,
246
00:14:53,835 --> 00:14:56,129
I guess an apology's
better than an excuse.
247
00:14:56,254 --> 00:14:58,840
- Just see it don't happen again.
- Yes, ma'am.
248
00:15:02,385 --> 00:15:04,262
- You forgettin' somethin'?
- Hmm?
249
00:15:04,846 --> 00:15:07,307
Oh, yeah.
I probably should wash my--
250
00:15:11,853 --> 00:15:14,230
Uh, for what we are
about to receive,
251
00:15:14,355 --> 00:15:16,524
may the good Lord
make us truly grateful.
252
00:15:16,649 --> 00:15:18,568
- Amen.
- Amen.
253
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,990
- How was your rehearsal?
- Mmm.
254
00:15:24,532 --> 00:15:27,118
Pretty good.
But it's gonna get better.
255
00:15:27,201 --> 00:15:29,162
I'm going to get better.
Much better.
256
00:15:29,287 --> 00:15:33,207
In fact, I think it's what
I'm meant to do.
257
00:15:33,583 --> 00:15:34,959
Be a singer, I mean.
258
00:15:35,084 --> 00:15:37,378
Is that what the
good Lord told ya?
259
00:15:39,380 --> 00:15:42,300
Well, in a way, yeah.
As a matter of fact, he did.
260
00:15:43,468 --> 00:15:45,595
Well, since you and he
are on such good terms,
261
00:15:45,678 --> 00:15:49,098
maybe you could ask him to take care
of that stack of bills on the counter.
262
00:15:52,310 --> 00:15:53,811
I'll tell you what, Mama.
263
00:15:54,228 --> 00:15:57,023
Someday, I'm gonna take care
of all that for ya.
264
00:15:57,482 --> 00:15:59,150
What? You gonna rob a bank?
265
00:15:59,233 --> 00:16:02,028
No, ma'am.
I'm going to become a famous singer.
266
00:16:02,111 --> 00:16:05,615
- Oh, like, uh, Perry Como?
- No.
267
00:16:05,740 --> 00:16:09,952
Not like Perry Como.
Um, bigger than Perry Como,
268
00:16:10,411 --> 00:16:13,247
and even bigger than that,
uh-- that Pat Boone guy.
269
00:16:13,373 --> 00:16:16,459
Bigger than Pat Boone
and Perry Como put together.
270
00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:18,503
You wait and see, Mama.
271
00:16:20,922 --> 00:16:22,882
Just start whenever you're ready.
272
00:16:23,007 --> 00:16:26,469
- There's nothing to worry about.
- Oh, I'm not worried.
273
00:16:26,844 --> 00:16:28,346
Don't worry about me.
274
00:16:28,429 --> 00:16:30,681
Elvis sings like
nobody you ever heard.
275
00:16:35,186 --> 00:16:36,854
Are you ready?
276
00:16:37,105 --> 00:16:39,148
Uh, just-just a second.
I'm almost ready.
277
00:16:39,273 --> 00:16:43,319
I just have a last couple things to tune
up here, and I'll be right with you, okay?
278
00:16:43,444 --> 00:16:45,446
Oh, good. I got here
just in time looks like.
279
00:16:45,571 --> 00:16:48,408
You sure did. I'm about to give Marion
Keisker the concert of a lifetime.
280
00:16:48,491 --> 00:16:50,743
- Great. What songs you gonna sing?
- Sun Records.
281
00:16:50,827 --> 00:16:52,495
Well, "Amazing Grace"
worked pretty good.
282
00:16:52,578 --> 00:16:54,038
No, no, no, no, no.
283
00:16:54,122 --> 00:16:57,583
You gotta sing exactly
the same tunes that Elvis sang.
284
00:16:57,667 --> 00:17:00,920
What were they?
Uh, My Happiness...
285
00:17:01,003 --> 00:17:03,840
and That's When
Your Heartaches Begin.
286
00:17:03,965 --> 00:17:06,092
- I never heard of those songs.
- You're the one...
287
00:17:06,217 --> 00:17:09,971
that programmed Ziggy's data banks
with all of Elvis Presley's hits.
288
00:17:10,096 --> 00:17:12,640
You know 'em backwards and forwards.
You used to sing 'em for days in a row.
289
00:17:12,723 --> 00:17:14,642
- Drive me crazy with 'em.
- Is he all right?
290
00:17:15,101 --> 00:17:16,686
You okay?
291
00:17:17,478 --> 00:17:18,729
Yeah, I'm fine.
292
00:17:18,855 --> 00:17:20,314
Um, well--
293
00:17:20,940 --> 00:17:25,111
Actually, I got a little bit of a--
Frog in my throat.
294
00:17:25,236 --> 00:17:28,156
Let me just get a little water.
I'll be right with ya, okay?
295
00:17:28,281 --> 00:17:31,909
Sam, don't panic.
Those are great songs for him.
296
00:17:32,034 --> 00:17:34,620
That's all wonderful, except
I'm not Elvis, and he's not here.
297
00:17:34,745 --> 00:17:36,860
Okay, I'll sing the songs,
and you repeat after me.
298
00:17:36,885 --> 00:17:37,887
What?
299
00:17:37,912 --> 00:17:40,108
I'm afraid we need to
start, Mr. Presley.
300
00:17:40,168 --> 00:17:42,962
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on.
301
00:17:43,087 --> 00:17:44,505
Okay.
302
00:17:45,298 --> 00:17:47,633
Okay. Okay.
Key. What key?
303
00:17:48,676 --> 00:17:50,344
"C." "C."
304
00:17:55,099 --> 00:17:56,684
Here we go.
305
00:18:07,987 --> 00:18:09,489
Why'd you stop?
306
00:18:09,697 --> 00:18:12,533
- Sam. Sam.
- That's Jingle Bells.
307
00:18:12,617 --> 00:18:14,619
- Huh? Come on, Sam.
- That's Jingle Bells.
308
00:18:14,744 --> 00:18:17,622
- Take it from the top. Come on.
- No, no, no!
309
00:18:17,705 --> 00:18:19,749
Would you like to reschedule
your appointment?
310
00:18:19,874 --> 00:18:21,250
No!
311
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,630
I'm gonna sing another song.
No, Sam.
312
00:18:25,713 --> 00:18:27,465
You've been practicing
this one for weeks.
313
00:18:27,575 --> 00:18:30,259
I know. I'm tired of it. That's because
I've been practicing so much.
314
00:18:30,312 --> 00:18:31,594
Sam,
whats wrong with Jingle Bells.
315
00:18:31,719 --> 00:18:32,762
No.
316
00:18:32,887 --> 00:18:35,097
Sam, Elvis recorded a whole
album of Christmas music!
317
00:18:35,223 --> 00:18:37,975
- No! No! I don't care what he--
- Oh, geez.
318
00:18:38,601 --> 00:18:41,062
- Blue Christmas.
- Blue Chri--
319
00:18:41,187 --> 00:18:43,773
Okay. "Blue"-- Wait, wait.
I thought it was white.
320
00:18:43,898 --> 00:18:46,943
Yeah, well, Elvis had a big hit
with blue! Okay, I'm ready now.
321
00:18:47,068 --> 00:18:48,319
Thank God.
322
00:18:49,153 --> 00:18:50,988
Seventy-five, one dollar.
323
00:18:51,072 --> 00:18:52,657
You can pick up your
record tomorrow.
324
00:18:52,782 --> 00:18:53,658
Thank you.
325
00:18:53,783 --> 00:18:55,868
Wait. She's gotta play it for
Phillips. Tell her.
326
00:18:56,077 --> 00:18:59,205
Listen, is there any chance
Mr. Phillips might like to hear this?
327
00:18:59,372 --> 00:19:00,331
You're crazy.
328
00:19:00,456 --> 00:19:03,251
It's hard to be in the mood
for Christmas carols in July.
329
00:19:03,354 --> 00:19:05,898
- Well, I know that but, uh--
- You can't leave,
330
00:19:06,045 --> 00:19:07,505
'cause Ziggy's projecting
that Elvis never meets him.
331
00:19:07,630 --> 00:19:08,881
Let me ask you this.
332
00:19:08,965 --> 00:19:11,467
You think he might be
at the talent show tonight?
333
00:19:11,592 --> 00:19:14,428
Oh, Mr. Phillips is far too busy
for talent shows.
334
00:19:14,512 --> 00:19:16,764
- Well--
- Tell her it's a regional show.
335
00:19:16,847 --> 00:19:21,185
- Really big!
- It's a big, regional talent show,
336
00:19:21,435 --> 00:19:23,271
and there are gonna be a
lot of fine performers there
337
00:19:23,396 --> 00:19:24,855
that he might want
to take a look at.
338
00:19:24,939 --> 00:19:27,483
Plus the fact that I understand
that there are going to be
339
00:19:27,567 --> 00:19:29,443
some talent scouts
from Nashville there.
340
00:19:29,569 --> 00:19:31,988
- You're full of it.
- The odds are going up now.
341
00:19:32,113 --> 00:19:33,990
Marion's thinking about going.
Good.
342
00:19:34,015 --> 00:19:37,577
Actually, I usually screen
the new acts around here.
343
00:19:37,827 --> 00:19:39,745
I have a real eye for talent.
344
00:19:39,870 --> 00:19:41,038
Is that so?
345
00:19:41,122 --> 00:19:43,916
Touch down. I'm gonna run this by
Ziggy, but I think we're back in the game.
346
00:19:44,041 --> 00:19:47,169
Uh, well, uh, does that mean
that I'll see you tonight?
347
00:19:47,753 --> 00:19:50,965
- Are you going to sing?
- It's what I do best, ma'am.
348
00:20:09,066 --> 00:20:10,943
Oh, Sam. Good news.
349
00:20:11,034 --> 00:20:14,363
Ziggy says 90% chance that if you go on
tonight, you're gonna win Marion over.
350
00:20:14,447 --> 00:20:15,406
Good.
351
00:20:15,489 --> 00:20:16,991
Now, come on.
Let's give a big hand...
352
00:20:17,116 --> 00:20:20,745
To little Billy C.,
all the way from Hope, Arkansas.
353
00:20:21,370 --> 00:20:22,663
Nice job.
354
00:20:22,747 --> 00:20:25,041
Good job, kid. Yeah.
355
00:20:26,626 --> 00:20:29,128
Al, I'm after the pig
caller, okay?
356
00:20:29,211 --> 00:20:31,797
It shouldn't be
much competition.
357
00:20:31,881 --> 00:20:34,383
Yeah. It depends on how good he is.
358
00:20:36,052 --> 00:20:38,179
- Oh, no.
- What?
359
00:20:45,978 --> 00:20:48,898
Oh, no.
Oh, she's gonna blow chunks again.
360
00:20:49,023 --> 00:20:52,026
Somebody get a mop.
I can't stand it.
361
00:20:54,528 --> 00:20:56,906
No! Sam! Sam!
You're not on yet, Sam!
362
00:20:58,949 --> 00:21:01,869
- Uh--
- Oh, no.
363
00:22:42,845 --> 00:22:47,391
Miss Sue Anne Winters
and Mr. Elvis Presley!
364
00:22:47,475 --> 00:22:51,270
Take a bow, you two. Come on.
Ain't that somethin'else?
365
00:22:51,395 --> 00:22:55,608
Boy, those are two special people
right there. What a performance.
366
00:23:00,613 --> 00:23:03,365
- Do you hear that? They loved us!
- Yes, they did.
367
00:23:03,449 --> 00:23:05,826
- You were great! You were--
- Congratulations.
368
00:23:05,993 --> 00:23:07,036
Thank you.
369
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,330
I want to see you at Sun
Records tomorrow at noon.
370
00:23:09,413 --> 00:23:12,625
And don't be late. Mr. Phillips
leaves for Nashville in the afternoon.
371
00:23:12,708 --> 00:23:13,876
Okay. All right.
372
00:23:13,959 --> 00:23:17,421
- I'm so happy for you.
- Honey, you're half the act.
373
00:23:17,546 --> 00:23:19,423
Now, y'all be on time, you hear?
374
00:23:19,632 --> 00:23:21,217
- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.
375
00:23:21,342 --> 00:23:22,301
Half the a--
376
00:23:22,426 --> 00:23:24,345
Oh, my gosh.
This is the happiest day of my life!
377
00:23:24,428 --> 00:23:26,555
- Not mine.
- It's all because of you.
378
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,099
No. No, it wasn't just me.
You were out there too, right?
379
00:23:29,225 --> 00:23:31,227
- I couldn't have done it without you.
- Oh, come on.
380
00:23:31,352 --> 00:23:34,647
Sam, you're not supposed
to be a duo, Sam!
381
00:23:34,772 --> 00:23:38,150
Sam, you're turning the king of
rock and roll into Donny and Marie!
382
00:23:38,234 --> 00:23:39,693
Oh, Elvis, I--
383
00:23:44,657 --> 00:23:46,116
I love you, Elvis.
384
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,338
According to Ziggy, the odds of the
two of you getting a recording contract
385
00:23:59,421 --> 00:24:01,298
are a lousy 19-to-1.
386
00:24:01,382 --> 00:24:04,362
Al, news flash.
Ziggy has been wrong before.
387
00:24:04,510 --> 00:24:05,845
- Mmm.
- Right?
388
00:24:05,970 --> 00:24:10,307
Yeah, but in 1954, the world was
just not ready for Sonny and Cher.
389
00:24:10,391 --> 00:24:13,227
As a matter of fact, the world
was never ready for Sonny and Cher.
390
00:24:13,310 --> 00:24:17,940
Al, Sue Anne is special. I mean,
there's something unique about her.
391
00:24:18,065 --> 00:24:20,234
I mean, she's innocent
and-and-and vulnerable, and--
392
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:21,318
Yeah, I know.
393
00:24:21,443 --> 00:24:24,363
Elvis has a soft spot for her, too,
but the Hollywood publicists...
394
00:24:24,474 --> 00:24:27,853
did not want him
to have a girl back home, so--
395
00:24:27,992 --> 00:24:29,243
So he forgot about her.
396
00:24:29,326 --> 00:24:31,871
I don't know if he forgot about
her, but he never went back for her.
397
00:24:31,996 --> 00:24:33,539
So don't think
what you're thinking.
398
00:24:33,664 --> 00:24:35,165
How do you know
what I'm thinkin'?
399
00:24:35,374 --> 00:24:38,794
Because I know you. In three
years, he's gonna meet Priscilla.
400
00:24:38,919 --> 00:24:41,881
They're gonna get married and have a baby.
You don't want to jeopardize that.
401
00:24:42,006 --> 00:24:44,633
- You don't want to jeopardize any of it.
- I don't know.
402
00:24:44,758 --> 00:24:48,762
I mean, what about what happened
to Elvis later on, right?
403
00:24:48,888 --> 00:24:51,015
I mean, maybe if he'd
been with Sue Anne,
404
00:24:51,140 --> 00:24:54,268
then things would've ended
differently than they did.
405
00:24:54,393 --> 00:24:55,978
Presley!
406
00:24:56,353 --> 00:24:57,563
Aw, great.
407
00:24:57,688 --> 00:24:59,398
I need to have a few
words with you, boy.
408
00:24:59,481 --> 00:25:01,108
How about, "Have a nice day"?
409
00:25:01,233 --> 00:25:04,695
Look, let's just call it a
truce, okay?
410
00:25:05,404 --> 00:25:07,781
I don't soil my hands with trash.
411
00:25:09,158 --> 00:25:13,078
Yeah, well, Frank,
what do you want?
412
00:25:13,162 --> 00:25:14,955
I think he-he wants
to punch you out.
413
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,999
You've compromised
a lady's honor.
414
00:25:17,124 --> 00:25:19,960
I don't take kindly to that,
especially when the lady's mine.
415
00:25:20,377 --> 00:25:22,379
Yeah, but she's not yours.
She doesn't belong to you.
416
00:25:22,504 --> 00:25:24,256
- That a fact?
- That's a fact.
417
00:25:24,465 --> 00:25:26,050
Did you see her up there
on that stage tonight?
418
00:25:26,175 --> 00:25:28,969
- She's got talent.
- She has a delicate condition.
419
00:25:29,637 --> 00:25:32,014
Well, her condition
seems just fine to me.
420
00:25:42,650 --> 00:25:43,984
Good, Sam.
421
00:25:44,944 --> 00:25:47,529
Break it up! Break it up!
Break it up!
422
00:25:47,655 --> 00:25:49,615
- Stay out of this, Red!
- Break it up now!
423
00:25:52,159 --> 00:25:53,538
Good, Sam.
424
00:25:54,244 --> 00:25:55,746
Break it up!
425
00:25:58,874 --> 00:26:00,584
Left! Use the left!
426
00:26:03,921 --> 00:26:08,050
- Hey, that's dirty!
- Okay. You wanna fight dirty?
427
00:26:08,968 --> 00:26:12,012
I know how to fight dirty.
You want a lesson in fightin' dirty?
428
00:26:12,137 --> 00:26:13,597
How about it, Elvis?
429
00:26:14,139 --> 00:26:17,309
Let him go. Stop it!
430
00:26:18,060 --> 00:26:20,896
- Let him go.
- Get up. Go!
431
00:26:23,649 --> 00:26:26,235
Shame on the both of you!
Are you all right, Frank?
432
00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:29,154
"Are you all right, Frank?"
What about the Pelvis?
433
00:26:29,279 --> 00:26:31,323
How could the two of you
gang up on him like that?
434
00:26:31,448 --> 00:26:33,075
We didn't gang up on him.
435
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,910
He started the whole fight.
436
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,871
Red here was comin' to help me out.
He started kickin' me.
437
00:26:37,955 --> 00:26:39,999
Don't lie. I know what I saw.
Lyin' ain't gonna do you any good.
438
00:26:40,124 --> 00:26:41,166
He ain't lyin'.
439
00:26:41,250 --> 00:26:43,502
- Hush up!
- Look, we didn't gang up on him.
440
00:26:43,627 --> 00:26:46,630
I said hush! I don't know.
Maybe Frank's right.
441
00:26:46,755 --> 00:26:48,799
I didn't want to believe the
things I heard about you,
442
00:26:48,924 --> 00:26:50,634
but maybe they really are true.
443
00:26:52,469 --> 00:26:53,887
Come on. You think you can walk?
444
00:26:54,013 --> 00:26:55,180
I'll try.
445
00:26:57,266 --> 00:26:59,018
Easy. Easy.
446
00:27:00,728 --> 00:27:02,855
Ooh, I'd like to give
him one more pop!
447
00:27:02,938 --> 00:27:04,023
Come on.
448
00:27:04,106 --> 00:27:06,066
You stay away from that man,
ya hear?
449
00:27:06,316 --> 00:27:10,070
You're always gettin' into scrapes these
days. I don't know what to do with you.
450
00:27:10,195 --> 00:27:11,822
Look, I didn't start the fight.
451
00:27:11,905 --> 00:27:14,700
It don't matter who started it.
It takes two to finish it.
452
00:27:15,659 --> 00:27:18,662
What's so special
about this girl anyhow?
453
00:27:18,746 --> 00:27:20,622
How'd you know it
was about a girl?
454
00:27:20,748 --> 00:27:22,332
'Cause I'm your mama.
455
00:27:22,458 --> 00:27:26,128
You gotta stop this fightin', honey.
Last fight cost you your job.
456
00:27:26,253 --> 00:27:27,713
You get fired from
Crown Electric--
457
00:27:27,838 --> 00:27:29,757
I'll find something
better to do.
458
00:27:29,882 --> 00:27:32,009
Doin' what?
Sweepin' sunshine off the sidewalk?
459
00:27:32,134 --> 00:27:33,802
Mama-Mama-Mama--
460
00:27:33,927 --> 00:27:35,596
- Now, don't worry, okay?
- Oh, Elvis.
461
00:27:35,721 --> 00:27:37,931
- Everything's gonna work out.
- How do you know?
462
00:27:38,057 --> 00:27:41,143
I just know. Like I know
about-about other things.
463
00:27:41,268 --> 00:27:43,812
- Like what?
- Well, like--
464
00:27:43,888 --> 00:27:45,514
like I know about my singing.
465
00:27:45,773 --> 00:27:49,818
Elvis, honey, I keep tellin' you,
you have to be realistic.
466
00:27:49,943 --> 00:27:52,863
You want realistic? All right.
I'll give you realistic.
467
00:27:54,031 --> 00:27:57,826
You are gonna live in the biggest house
you can ever imagine.
468
00:27:58,494 --> 00:28:02,164
You are gonna have the most
beautiful clothes and drive a new car.
469
00:28:02,289 --> 00:28:06,210
And you are gonna be the mother
of the most famous singer who ever lived.
470
00:28:06,835 --> 00:28:10,047
I don't know whether to kiss
you or slap some sense into you.
471
00:28:10,442 --> 00:28:11,771
I'll go for the kiss.
472
00:28:11,864 --> 00:28:13,842
- Oh, honey. Mmm!
- Ow!
473
00:28:13,967 --> 00:28:15,636
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- That's okay.
474
00:28:15,761 --> 00:28:18,305
1954 was an age of innocence,
475
00:28:18,430 --> 00:28:21,725
a time when people still believed
in the American Dream.
476
00:28:22,059 --> 00:28:25,646
I realized that I had leaped
into a man who personified that dream,
477
00:28:25,729 --> 00:28:29,566
a man who went from being a truck driver
to a superstar overnight.
478
00:28:30,025 --> 00:28:32,820
Walking a mile
in Elvis Presley's blue suede shoes...
479
00:28:32,903 --> 00:28:34,988
before he became
the idol of millions...
480
00:28:35,114 --> 00:28:37,699
made me realize he was
Just a normal person.
481
00:28:38,075 --> 00:28:41,245
I kept wondering if he would have been
happier had he stayed that way.
482
00:28:42,162 --> 00:28:44,456
Maybe I couldn't change
things for Elvis,
483
00:28:44,540 --> 00:28:46,792
but at least I had a
chance to help Sue Anne.
484
00:28:48,043 --> 00:28:50,587
Hi, Julie.
Will you tell your sister I'm here?
485
00:28:50,671 --> 00:28:52,548
Sue Anne didn't come in
this morning.
486
00:28:52,673 --> 00:28:55,425
What? Wait. Wait.
487
00:28:55,551 --> 00:28:57,177
Whoa. Wait a second.
Is something wrong?
488
00:28:57,302 --> 00:28:59,096
Is it stage fright?
489
00:28:59,304 --> 00:29:01,849
No, Sam. It's not stage
fright. Not this time.
490
00:29:01,974 --> 00:29:04,518
- Where is she?
- I can't tell.
491
00:29:05,978 --> 00:29:07,187
She's home, Sam.
492
00:29:07,312 --> 00:29:09,439
How can she be home?
We got an audition in half an hour.
493
00:29:09,565 --> 00:29:12,359
Frank is picking her up at 2:00,
and they're leaving for Louisville.
494
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,112
They're gonna stop by the courthouse
and pick up a marriage license.
495
00:29:15,237 --> 00:29:17,531
All right. Okay.
Where does she live?
496
00:29:17,656 --> 00:29:20,659
She lives, a-at 42 Elm Street.
497
00:29:20,742 --> 00:29:23,453
- That's 12 blocks north of here.
- Okay.
498
00:29:23,579 --> 00:29:25,998
No. Sam, no!
You gotta let her go.
499
00:29:26,301 --> 00:29:27,708
What do you mean,
I gotta let her go?
500
00:29:27,791 --> 00:29:29,440
Ziggy said that I'm
supposed to be here
501
00:29:29,496 --> 00:29:30,949
to stop her from
throwing her life away.
502
00:29:31,042 --> 00:29:32,785
That doesn't mean you can
mess everything up for Elvis.
503
00:29:32,834 --> 00:29:34,388
You've got an audition
in half an hour!
504
00:29:34,460 --> 00:29:35,757
What about Sue Anne?
505
00:29:35,876 --> 00:29:38,712
You can't get from here to her place
and back in time for the audition.
506
00:29:38,844 --> 00:29:39,970
I have to.
507
00:29:40,053 --> 00:29:42,723
Look, Phillips is leaving
for Nashville this afternoon.
508
00:29:42,848 --> 00:29:45,893
You can't mess up this
audition, Sam!
509
00:29:46,685 --> 00:29:47,644
I won't.
510
00:29:47,769 --> 00:29:50,147
- Sam, Ziggy says--
- Forget Ziggy.
511
00:30:05,913 --> 00:30:07,915
You don't have to look at me,
you don't have to talk to me,
512
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,375
but you have to,
in a half an hour, sing with me.
513
00:30:10,500 --> 00:30:13,337
- The heck I do.
- Look, it's your dream.
514
00:30:14,588 --> 00:30:16,423
You waited your
whole life for this.
515
00:30:16,632 --> 00:30:18,550
I-I told you,
I don't believe in no dreamin'.
516
00:30:18,675 --> 00:30:22,387
Yeah, well, I do. And I got
enough dreams for the both of us.
517
00:30:22,763 --> 00:30:26,183
I'm 19 years old.
It's time for me to settle down.
518
00:30:26,266 --> 00:30:29,686
What are you talkin' about?
It's time for you to shake things up.
519
00:30:29,811 --> 00:30:32,064
Take a chance for a change.
520
00:30:32,314 --> 00:30:34,316
If I get mixed up
with the likes of you,
521
00:30:34,399 --> 00:30:36,735
then it could cost me marryin'
a decent man like Frank.
522
00:30:36,818 --> 00:30:39,071
You think about this.
Think about 20 years from now.
523
00:30:39,196 --> 00:30:40,447
You wake up one morning,
524
00:30:40,572 --> 00:30:43,158
all of a sudden you're wondering
what might have happened today.
525
00:30:43,367 --> 00:30:45,619
Sue Anne, you get in this house!
526
00:30:45,827 --> 00:30:48,247
- Comin', Mama.
- What have you got to lose?
527
00:30:48,372 --> 00:30:50,290
You come with me,
you audition for Mr. Phillips,
528
00:30:50,415 --> 00:30:52,501
he doesn't sign you,
you come back, you marry Frank.
529
00:30:52,626 --> 00:30:54,378
But what if he likes us?
530
00:30:54,461 --> 00:30:56,630
Wouldn't that be a
wonderful choice to have?
531
00:31:02,177 --> 00:31:04,346
- I'll go get my music.
- All right.
532
00:31:14,064 --> 00:31:15,607
Here we go.
533
00:31:18,527 --> 00:31:20,654
Mr. Phillips?
Miss Keisker?
534
00:31:21,029 --> 00:31:23,824
Hello? It's Elvis Presley.
535
00:31:25,909 --> 00:31:28,078
Oh, no. They gotta be in there.
536
00:31:29,121 --> 00:31:31,039
- It wasn't meant to be, Elvis.
- It was.
537
00:31:31,164 --> 00:31:34,293
No. If the good Lord
wanted me to be a singer,
538
00:31:34,376 --> 00:31:36,253
then Mr. Phillips
would still be here.
539
00:31:36,378 --> 00:31:37,838
Maybe the good
Lord's testing you.
540
00:31:37,921 --> 00:31:39,756
You know, it isn't easy
reaching for those stars.
541
00:31:39,881 --> 00:31:42,509
Look, I have no business
tryin' in the first place.
542
00:31:42,634 --> 00:31:44,553
No, Sue Anne, wait a second now.
543
00:31:44,970 --> 00:31:47,264
- Will you listen to me?
- I listened to you plenty.
544
00:31:48,056 --> 00:31:50,058
I listened to all
your crazy dreamin',
545
00:31:51,018 --> 00:31:53,020
and I gave it a chance.
546
00:31:53,353 --> 00:31:55,522
And now I'll never
wonder what I missed,
547
00:31:55,897 --> 00:31:57,691
cause I didn't miss nothin'.
548
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,487
- I gotta go.
- Sue Anne--
549
00:32:05,095 --> 00:32:06,554
Goodbye, Elvis.
550
00:32:28,472 --> 00:32:33,226
I don't know whether to feel sorry
for you or say, "I told you so."
551
00:32:33,518 --> 00:32:35,729
- She left.
- I know.
552
00:32:36,063 --> 00:32:39,816
Al, I know I was here
to help Sue Anne.
553
00:32:39,941 --> 00:32:41,735
- Ziggy even agreed with me.
- You did help.
554
00:32:41,860 --> 00:32:43,153
Then why haven't I leaped?
555
00:32:43,278 --> 00:32:45,781
Ziggy says it's because you've
gotta make things right for Elvis.
556
00:32:45,906 --> 00:32:47,532
How can I make things
right with Elvis?
557
00:32:47,741 --> 00:32:50,577
Right? I mean, Mr. Phillips has
gotta be on a plane to Nash--
558
00:32:50,827 --> 00:32:52,287
to Nashville right now.
559
00:32:52,412 --> 00:32:54,081
Uh, he left the studio
20 minutes ago.
560
00:32:54,206 --> 00:32:55,699
I was on the way to
the waiting room.
561
00:32:55,832 --> 00:32:58,104
I was gonna break the news to the kid.
I chickened out.
562
00:32:58,146 --> 00:32:59,546
Maybe I can still meet
him at the airport.
563
00:32:59,582 --> 00:33:01,144
- He's not at the airport.
- Where is he then?
564
00:33:01,254 --> 00:33:02,714
I don't know.
This damn thing is--
565
00:33:02,839 --> 00:33:05,884
- Come on, Ziggy!
- Hold on now. Just hold on.
566
00:33:06,009 --> 00:33:08,595
Maybe he's still here. Maybe he
didn't hear me, and there's time.
567
00:33:08,678 --> 00:33:10,138
Mr. Phillips?
568
00:33:10,597 --> 00:33:12,599
- Mr Phillips, it's me, Elvis Presley!
- Sam--
569
00:33:12,724 --> 00:33:14,726
- I'm here for my audition! Mr. Phillips!
- Sam!
570
00:33:14,851 --> 00:33:17,229
Save your voice, will you?
571
00:33:17,479 --> 00:33:19,648
Here.
Something's coming up.
572
00:33:20,816 --> 00:33:24,945
Okay. He's, um--
He's at a dinner.
573
00:33:25,195 --> 00:33:26,613
- He's at a dinner?
- Yeah.
574
00:33:26,738 --> 00:33:28,824
In the middle of the
afternoon, he's at a dinner?
575
00:33:28,907 --> 00:33:30,826
He's at a dinner having diner.
576
00:33:30,951 --> 00:33:32,160
What?
577
00:33:33,870 --> 00:33:35,872
Oh, he's at the
diner having dinner.
578
00:33:35,997 --> 00:33:37,207
- Make it lunch.
- Al--
579
00:33:37,332 --> 00:33:42,129
Oh, and get this! Get this! He's meeting
with the deejay that made Elvis a star,
580
00:33:42,254 --> 00:33:44,172
and the guy that first put him
on the radio.
581
00:33:44,256 --> 00:33:46,675
- Isn't that great? Wow!
- You tell Ziggy I have to know exactly...
582
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,136
what songs Elvis sang
for Mr. Phillips.
583
00:33:49,219 --> 00:33:51,346
Okay. Okay. Um--
584
00:33:51,471 --> 00:33:54,003
- Blue Moon of Kentucky and...
- Okay.
585
00:33:54,082 --> 00:33:55,839
That's All Right, Mama.
586
00:33:56,935 --> 00:33:59,729
Please, please tell me
you know these songs, Sam.
587
00:34:00,564 --> 00:34:03,066
Better than Jingle Bells.
Better-
588
00:34:05,444 --> 00:34:07,195
Better than Jingle Bells.
589
00:34:08,697 --> 00:34:11,533
Excuse me, Mr. Phillips?
I'm Elvis Presley.
590
00:34:11,700 --> 00:34:13,535
Well, that and a nickel'll
get you a phone call.
591
00:34:15,328 --> 00:34:16,413
Keep talking, Sam.
592
00:34:16,538 --> 00:34:21,334
Uh, I was-- Well, I had an appointment
to audition for you this afternoon.
593
00:34:21,460 --> 00:34:24,463
Couldn't be. I'm leaving for Nashville
just as soon as I finish my lunch.
594
00:34:24,546 --> 00:34:28,175
No, not for later this afternoon.
Uh, it was at noon, but I was late.
595
00:34:28,258 --> 00:34:32,095
Oh, yeah. I had a 12:00 no-show.
A team. Brother and sister act.
596
00:34:32,179 --> 00:34:35,098
Something like that.
Yeah, that's me. I mean, I-I'm them.
597
00:34:35,182 --> 00:34:37,726
- Um, you were supposed to see me.
- No--
598
00:34:37,851 --> 00:34:40,020
Yeah, well, look, son,
I would like to help you out,
599
00:34:40,145 --> 00:34:42,272
but I'm right in the middle
of a business meeting here.
600
00:34:42,772 --> 00:34:44,733
Five minutes, Sam.
Five minutes-- Say--
601
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,985
Couldn't you just
give me five minutes?
602
00:34:47,110 --> 00:34:48,862
I promise you,
you won't regret it.
603
00:34:48,987 --> 00:34:51,364
Do you know how many times
I hear that in one day?
604
00:34:52,365 --> 00:34:55,702
- I'm sorry, son.
- But he's the best.
605
00:34:58,497 --> 00:35:01,249
I don't believe this pretty
young thing knows how to lie.
606
00:35:01,374 --> 00:35:03,585
- Do you, sweetheart?
- No, sir.
607
00:35:04,127 --> 00:35:07,047
You and the guys go ahead.
I got some phone calls to make.
608
00:35:10,175 --> 00:35:12,010
All right, son.
You got yourself five minutes.
609
00:35:12,135 --> 00:35:13,261
Thank you, Mr. Phillips.
610
00:35:13,345 --> 00:35:15,805
Ah, boys.
Let's go make some music.
611
00:35:15,931 --> 00:35:17,265
Uh-huh!
612
00:35:20,393 --> 00:35:23,855
So, what are you going
to sing for us, Elvin?
613
00:35:23,980 --> 00:35:26,483
Uh, it-it's Elvis, sir.
614
00:35:26,608 --> 00:35:29,653
And I'm gonna sing, uh,
Blue Moon of Kentucky
615
00:35:29,778 --> 00:35:31,196
and That's All Right, Mama.
616
00:35:31,988 --> 00:35:35,116
This is an audition, son, not a concert.
You pick one or the other.
617
00:35:35,367 --> 00:35:38,453
Yeah. But you-you said
that I had five minutes, right?
618
00:35:38,578 --> 00:35:41,456
- Pick one or the other.
- Oh--
619
00:35:42,624 --> 00:35:44,584
Uh-Uh--
620
00:35:44,709 --> 00:35:47,420
This is not supposed to happen
I'm supposed to get to sing those songs
621
00:35:47,504 --> 00:35:50,715
You changed the circumstances of
the audition. Anything can happen.
622
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,970
Yeah, well, uh-- Tell me which song
impressed Mr. Phillips the most
623
00:35:55,053 --> 00:35:56,589
♪ Song impressed
Mr. Phillips the most ♪
624
00:35:56,681 --> 00:35:58,682
- We don't know.
- You all right in there, buddy?
625
00:35:58,932 --> 00:36:01,685
Yeah. I'm just having a
little trouble pickin' a song.
626
00:36:01,810 --> 00:36:04,229
That's All Right Mama
or Blue Moon of Kentucky.
627
00:36:04,354 --> 00:36:05,564
Here's the best odds.
628
00:36:05,625 --> 00:36:06,883
That's All Right, Blue Moon.
629
00:36:06,982 --> 00:36:08,871
Elvis-- started,
and he did the "Moon" thing.
630
00:36:08,935 --> 00:36:13,154
And that got Phillips's attention, and that
made Phillips want to have him play more,
631
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,283
That made Elvis choose another tune,
then he did the "Mama" thing.
632
00:36:16,408 --> 00:36:18,201
Okay, guys. Blue Moon.
633
00:37:57,217 --> 00:37:58,718
Great.
634
00:38:02,639 --> 00:38:04,516
- Great, Sam.
- Thanks, guys.
635
00:38:04,641 --> 00:38:06,518
That was great.
It was really great.
636
00:38:06,643 --> 00:38:08,728
- You've got a lot of talent.
- Thank you, sir.
637
00:38:08,853 --> 00:38:10,730
Mm-hmm.
I would like to hear some more.
638
00:38:10,855 --> 00:38:12,857
- Yes!
- That's All Right, Mama. Here we go.
639
00:38:12,982 --> 00:38:14,067
Not now.
640
00:38:14,192 --> 00:38:17,028
You make an appointment, and we'll set up
a session when I get back from Nashville.
641
00:38:17,153 --> 00:38:18,363
But I'm ready right now.
642
00:38:18,488 --> 00:38:22,033
I'm not. Come on now.
I got a meetin' to finish, son.
643
00:38:22,117 --> 00:38:24,536
No. Wait a second. If you could
just wait a minute and listen to me-
644
00:38:24,619 --> 00:38:28,748
- I already don't like it.
- You pushed him too hard, Sam.
645
00:38:32,335 --> 00:38:34,963
You take care now, son.
I'll see you next week. Okay.
646
00:38:35,046 --> 00:38:36,131
Thank you.
647
00:38:36,256 --> 00:38:38,341
But, no, no, no. He doesn't.
He cancels out on Elvis.
648
00:38:38,466 --> 00:38:40,719
- Aw, this is awful, Sam!
- What?
649
00:38:40,844 --> 00:38:44,055
Well, Ziggy says now Elvis
doesn't even get discovered.
650
00:38:44,180 --> 00:38:46,433
And Heartbreak Hotel is
recorded by the Monkees.
651
00:38:46,474 --> 00:38:47,568
What?
652
00:38:47,642 --> 00:38:51,354
And Jailhouse Rock is recorded
by Tony Orlando and Dawn.
653
00:38:51,688 --> 00:38:53,565
- Gag me with a spoon.
- Oh, no!
654
00:38:53,690 --> 00:38:54,816
All right, Al.
655
00:38:54,941 --> 00:38:58,361
Tell me what one of Elvis' hits
are after That's All Right, Mama.
656
00:38:58,486 --> 00:39:03,408
Uh, uh, he recorded, Baby,
Let's Play House in September,
657
00:39:03,533 --> 00:39:06,745
and you programmed it into Ziggy's
memory, so you remember it, don't you?
658
00:39:06,870 --> 00:39:08,455
- I remember.
- Good.
659
00:39:08,538 --> 00:39:11,124
Oh! Tony Orlando and--
660
00:39:13,877 --> 00:39:16,671
Oh, uh, Sam, they're still
sittin' in the booth.
661
00:39:16,796 --> 00:39:20,508
Um, now, listen,
don't hold anything back now.
662
00:39:20,633 --> 00:39:22,594
Just really belt it out!
663
00:39:58,213 --> 00:40:00,507
Oh, my Lord!
664
00:40:11,267 --> 00:40:13,853
A white man with a black voice.
665
00:40:20,527 --> 00:40:23,780
That's it, Sam!
Rock it out!
666
00:40:44,008 --> 00:40:45,552
Hey!
667
00:40:47,387 --> 00:40:48,763
Yeah!
668
00:41:32,098 --> 00:41:33,558
All right!
669
00:41:35,476 --> 00:41:38,563
- Where on God's earth did you learn
a song like that?
670
00:41:38,688 --> 00:41:41,608
Well, I just kind of, uh,
made it up.
671
00:41:41,858 --> 00:41:45,445
Well, I don't know what you just did,
son, but you keep on doing it.
672
00:41:45,570 --> 00:41:47,405
You mean-- You mean,
you're gonna sign me?
673
00:41:47,488 --> 00:41:48,990
Does a chicken have feathers?
674
00:41:49,115 --> 00:41:51,200
Consider yourself signed,
sealed and delivered.
675
00:41:51,255 --> 00:41:52,869
Sam-Sam, this is great.
You got Elvis started.
676
00:41:52,909 --> 00:41:53,910
Thank you.
677
00:41:53,953 --> 00:41:56,331
You even inspired one of his first
hit tunes over there, so, uh--
678
00:41:56,456 --> 00:41:57,582
Thank you.
679
00:41:57,665 --> 00:42:00,084
So how come you haven't leaped?
680
00:42:02,545 --> 00:42:04,422
Well, that's the last of it.
681
00:42:05,381 --> 00:42:07,884
You go and you tell your mama
we're ready to leave.
682
00:42:08,176 --> 00:42:10,637
Sue Anne! Sue Anne!
683
00:42:12,055 --> 00:42:14,265
I got you your own audition,
all by yourself.
684
00:42:14,390 --> 00:42:17,226
- I thought the audition was at noon.
- Well, mine was. And guess what.
685
00:42:17,352 --> 00:42:22,482
Mr. Phillips signed me. I got a contract.
See? And I got you your own audition.
686
00:42:22,607 --> 00:42:25,360
- And look. I did it.
- Oh!
687
00:42:25,485 --> 00:42:28,112
- You can too.
- She'll do no such thing.
688
00:42:28,571 --> 00:42:30,573
Oh, what harm could it to, Frank?
689
00:42:30,698 --> 00:42:32,575
A lady don't work for a living.
690
00:42:32,700 --> 00:42:35,161
And she most surely
don't sing for a livin'.
691
00:42:35,578 --> 00:42:37,580
But it's what I wanna do.
692
00:42:37,997 --> 00:42:39,457
Sue Anne--
693
00:42:44,754 --> 00:42:47,590
I just don't cotton to the idea
of my wife bein' a circus act.
694
00:42:47,715 --> 00:42:50,134
Oh, Frank, it's not like that.
695
00:42:50,426 --> 00:42:52,345
Is-Is Doris Day a circus act?
696
00:42:52,470 --> 00:42:55,098
Is-Is-Is Debbie Reynolds a circus act?
697
00:42:55,181 --> 00:42:58,393
Oh, Frankie, there's nothing wrong
with singin'.
698
00:42:58,643 --> 00:42:59,978
Don't you see?
699
00:43:00,103 --> 00:43:01,688
What I see...
700
00:43:02,730 --> 00:43:06,693
is a fine young lady who wants somethin'
from life that I can't give her.
701
00:43:08,945 --> 00:43:11,447
Maybe some man can, but I can't.
702
00:43:12,365 --> 00:43:14,283
You can, if you want to.
703
00:43:14,492 --> 00:43:16,536
It's got to be the way
it's got to be.
704
00:43:16,619 --> 00:43:18,997
Now, either you get in this
car, you come away with me now,
705
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,498
or you don't come at all.
706
00:43:35,346 --> 00:43:37,807
Well, I guess that's all
the answer I need.
707
00:43:49,152 --> 00:43:50,862
I owe you an apology.
708
00:43:52,780 --> 00:43:54,282
Accepted.
709
00:44:07,378 --> 00:44:11,883
Mmm, Sam, listen to this.
Sue Anne here signs a recording contract.
710
00:44:12,592 --> 00:44:16,054
She doesn't have a big career,
but she gets to perform on the Opry.
711
00:44:16,137 --> 00:44:19,807
And she starts one of Elvis Presley's
first fan clubs.
712
00:44:19,932 --> 00:44:21,809
I'm so scared.
713
00:44:23,269 --> 00:44:25,354
There's nothing to be afraid of.
714
00:44:25,813 --> 00:44:28,024
But what am I gonna do now?
715
00:44:28,649 --> 00:44:30,902
Well, you're gonna
reach for the stars.
716
00:44:31,444 --> 00:44:35,615
And you're gonna keep
right on reaching until you touch 'em.
717
00:45:05,978 --> 00:45:07,605
What do you got on tap?
718
00:45:08,106 --> 00:45:10,483
- Schlitz.
- Schlitz?
719
00:45:12,276 --> 00:45:14,570
Got Iron City,
Duquesne and Fort Pitt in bottles.
720
00:45:14,612 --> 00:45:15,613
Oh.
721
00:45:15,696 --> 00:45:20,743
- Yeah. Sch-Schlitz'll be fine.
- Regular... or schooner?
722
00:45:20,827 --> 00:45:22,328
Schooner.
723
00:45:30,044 --> 00:45:32,088
What do I owe you?
Fifteen cents.
724
00:45:32,713 --> 00:45:34,257
Fifteen cents.
725
00:45:34,924 --> 00:45:36,509
There you go.
726
00:46:02,118 --> 00:46:03,911
Oh, boy.
