hear the whole tune in my head.

No, not to me.

1043
01:07:43,915 --> 01:07:45,247
Yeah, of course.
1044
01:07:50,887 --> 01:07:53,824
Oh, no. Would you
make it out to Arthur?
1045
01:07:55,258 --> 01:07:57,260
He's one of the blokes
from work.
1046
01:07:57,594 --> 01:07:59,229
Yeah, he's a big fan.
1047
01:08:00,630 --> 01:08:02,532
- Is he?
- Mm-hmm.
1048
01:08:10,807 --> 01:08:11,808
Perfect.
1049
01:08:12,441 --> 01:08:14,776
[rubbing hands, sighs]
1050
01:08:14,778 --> 01:08:15,812
Right.
1051
01:08:17,246 --> 01:08:20,584
Well, looks like things worked out
really well second time around, Dad.
1052
01:08:21,518 --> 01:08:22,719
- I suppose they have.
- Mmm.
1053
01:08:23,353 --> 01:08:25,856
'Cause, you know,
not everybody gets a second chance.
1054
01:08:30,761 --> 01:08:33,997
[Stanley] The boys loved
meeting a real-life pop star.
1055
01:08:34,497 --> 01:08:36,565
Sure. Thanks, Dad.
1056
01:08:36,967 --> 01:08:38,001
Bye.
1057
01:08:41,037 --> 01:08:42,837
- When I grow up, Dad...
- [Stanley] Get inside.
1058
01:08:42,839 --> 01:08:45,609
What are you doing
without your shoes on?
1059
01:08:46,543 --> 01:08:48,378
You're gonna be a draftsman.
1060
01:08:50,113 --> 01:08:51,448
Back inside.
1061
01:08:55,219 --> 01:08:56,652

[exhales]

01:09:18,842 --> 01:09:21,610
What have you got to do to get
a fucking drink around here, eh?
1066
01:09:29,518 --> 01:09:30,987
Will you stop sulking?
1067
01:09:32,923 --> 01:09:35,025
It has to be done
whether you like it or not.
1068
01:09:35,558 --> 01:09:37,761
Are you gonna be scared of her
your whole life?
1069
01:09:39,596 --> 01:09:40,829
Right, stop the car.
1070
01:09:40,831 --> 01:09:43,366
- Elton...
- I said, stop the car!
1071
01:09:48,238 --> 01:09:50,739
You're onstage in 15 minutes.
1072
01:09:51,941 --> 01:09:54,441
You're the big-shot manager.
You make my excuses.
1073
01:09:54,443 --> 01:09:58,614
Tell them I'm indisposed,
breaking my mother's heart!
1074
01:09:59,249 --> 01:10:00,815
Elton. Elton!
1075
01:10:00,817 --> 01:10:02,484
- Drive 'round, Denis.

- Mum, it's me.
- I know who you are.
1080
01:10:19,535 --> 01:10:21,102
Well, I've got something
to tell you.
1081
01:10:21,104 --> 01:10:24,072
Reggie, we're gonna miss
the bit of the show with you on.
1082

Look, shut up, Mum!
1083

I'm not on telly yet, am I?
I'm talking to you.
1084

1085

Me and John, we...
1086
01:10:36,185 --> 01:10:37,485
Well, the thing is...
1087
01:10:41,223 --> 01:10:44,059
I'm... a homosexual.
1088
01:10:48,397 --> 01:10:49,932
A poofter.
1089
01:10:51,268 --> 01:10:52,668
A fairy.
1090
01:10:53,435 --> 01:10:54,637
A queen.
1091
01:11:00,142 --> 01:11:01,542
Well, say something.
1092
01:11:05,014 --> 01:11:07,583
Oh, for God's sake,
I know that.

Known for years.
1094
01:11:13,555 --> 01:11:16,125
- You don't mind?
- Frankly, I don't care.
1095
01:11:16,892 --> 01:11:19,994
But I'd rather you keep
that sort of thing to yourself.
1096
01:11:22,231 --> 01:11:24,563
I just hope you realize
you're choosing a life
1097
01:11:24,565 --> 01:11:26,201
of being alone forever.
1098
01:11:27,369 --> 01:11:29,772
You'll never be loved properly.
1099
01:11:35,577 --> 01:11:37,579

She said I'll never be loved.
1103
01:11:49,991 --> 01:11:51,857
Don't ever put me
in this position again.
1104
01:11:51,859 --> 01:11:53,126
You're onstage in 10 minutes,
1105
01:11:53,128 --> 01:11:54,928
so get over yourself
and do the show.
1106
01:11:54,930 --> 01:11:56,932
We're running a business here,
you fucking idiot.
1107
01:11:58,700 --> 01:12:00,970
- [grunts]
- Don't ever put your hands on me.
1108
01:12:05,674 --> 01:12:07,742
Real love's hard to come by.
1109
01:12:14,949 --> 01:12:16,851
So you find a way
to cope without it.
1110
01:12:46,148 --> 01:12:47,282

- You okay?
- Yeah.
1114
01:13:21,049 --> 01:13:23,282
Got the number-one album
in America. Again.
1115
01:13:23,284 --> 01:13:27,685
I'm about to embark on the
highest-grossing tour in rock history.
1116
01:13:27,687 --> 01:13:29,621
I'm personally responsible
for five percent
1117
01:13:29,623 --> 01:13:31,991
of all record sales
on the entire planet,
1118
01:13:31,993 --> 01:13:34,860
and I have the biggest
headdress known to man.
1119
01:13:34,862 --> 01:13:36,829
So, yeah,
I think I'm okay, Bernie.
1120
01:13:36,831 --> 01:13:38,597
It used to just be
the two of us.
1121
01:13:38,599 --> 01:13:40,733
Now there's busloads of people
just to do the music.
1122
01:13:40,735 --> 01:13:42,502
Hang on, hang on,
don't you wanna just
1123
01:13:42,504 --> 01:13:45,206
go out there and sing without
this ridiculous paraphernalia?
1124
01:13:45,839 --> 01:13:49,043
You know,
just be yourself, Reg?
1125
01:13:50,211 --> 01:13:52,945
Why the fuck
would I want that, Bernie?
1126
01:13:52,947 --> 01:13:55,948
You wouldn't say this shit to me
if you were a real friend.
1127
01:13:55,950 --> 01:13:58,616
People don't pay
to see Reginald Dwight.
1128
01:13:58,618 --> 01:14:01,120
They pay to see Elton John!
1129
01:14:01,122 --> 01:14:04,292
Don't ever tell me
how to do my fucking job!

You don't have
to put up with this, Reg.
1133
01:14:16,670 --> 01:14:18,905
Write the fucking lyrics,
Bernie!
1134
01:14:19,606 --> 01:14:21,342
Let me deal with the rest.
1135
01:14:27,014 --> 01:14:28,547
- I'm sorry.
- I know.
1136

maybe we should quit the booze

[man] Mr. Reid.
1159
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:28,701
- What are you doing, John?
- Just a bit of rock 'n' roll.
1160
01:16:28,703 --> 01:16:31,538
Rock 'n' roll is not shagging your
secretary in front of the pool boys!
1161
01:16:31,837 --> 01:16:34,407
Rock 'n' roll is getting you
out of your bed in the morning.
1162
01:16:34,641 --> 01:16:37,542
Arranging 250 gigs
in 26 different countries.
1163
01:16:37,544 --> 01:16:40,413
Rock 'n' roll's actually
112 employment contracts,

01:16:40,647 --> 01:16:42,447
insurance, copyright indemnity,
1165
01:16:42,449 --> 01:16:44,582
renegotiating your
previously insane contracts
1166
01:16:44,584 --> 01:16:46,150
and wiping your arse.
1167
01:16:46,152 --> 01:16:48,219
You know, all you do, Elton,
is play the piano.
1168
01:16:48,221 --> 01:16:51,356
But for me, rock 'n' roll is an 87
million-dollar-a-year industry.
1169
01:16:51,358 --> 01:16:54,060
Maybe I just play the piano,
but you know what else I do?
1170

Hmm? I pay, John.
1171

For everything.

- No, not predictable.

for the gig.

clean yourself up,

Sheila! It's been too long.

- Here we are.
- Hi, Nan.

- from next door, don't you?
- Yes, the Andersons.

the Andersons?

[Elton] For as long as I can

Believed I'd never be loved.

Yeah, but I started

I just forgot to stop.

I do feel ashamed.
1558
01:46:15,774 --> 01:46:19,746
Spent so long feeling resentful

You was never ordinary.

What a waste of time.
1565
01:46:48,941 --> 01:46:51,944
Mum, I know it was never easy.
1566
01:46:52,645 --> 01:46:54,279
And I hope you can forgive me.
1567
01:46:56,081 --> 01:46:58,683

that's what we need to do now.

1569
01:47:03,456 --> 01:47:05,924
- No, your problem is you're selfish.
- [Elton] No.
1570
01:47:06,925 --> 01:47:09,295
My problem was I believed
you loved me.
1571
01:47:09,561 --> 01:47:11,195
And you're incapable of it.
1572
01:47:11,197 --> 01:47:12,896
I gave everything
to keep something
1573
01:47:12,898 --> 01:47:14,699
that I never even had
in the first place.
1574
01:47:16,002 --> 01:47:18,804
I always thought you was

[Sheila]
It's all his father's fault.
1577

Don't blame me.
He'd have been strange, regardless.

I never told you
how much I need you.

And that's what's important.
1589
01:48:08,220 --> 01:48:10,255

you were Reggie Dwight.

I haven't been
Reggie Dwight for years.

- You been playing?
- Hmm...
1603
01:49:53,891 --> 01:49:55,357
- No.
- No?
1604
01:49:55,359 --> 01:49:57,462
Not in the right place
for that just now.
1605
01:49:58,530 --> 01:49:59,863
I'm scared, Bernie.
1606
01:50:03,834 --> 01:50:05,337
What if I'm not as good...
1607
01:50:07,904 --> 01:50:09,440

and the drugs?

You're not scared
you're not good without it,
1611
01:50:18,515 --> 01:50:19,850
you're scared to feel again.
1612
01:50:20,451 --> 01:50:23,287

yourself, but you can't lie to me.

Not yet.

This is the part
you gotta do on your own.
1618
01:50:40,471 --> 01:50:43,007
