1
00:00:03,710 --> 00:00:07,253
Oh, let our love survive
2
00:00:08,816 --> 00:00:12,422
I'll dry the tears
from your eyes
3
00:00:14,184 --> 00:00:18,460
let's don't let a good thing die
4
00:00:34,411 --> 00:00:37,004
Snowman's coming
5
00:00:37,981 --> 00:00:40,872
yes, he's coming
6
00:00:41,008 --> 00:00:45,678
he'll take you by the hand
7
00:00:45,814 --> 00:00:48,415
he'll say one, two, three
8
00:00:49,915 --> 00:00:51,985
And you will be...
9
00:00:53,029 --> 00:00:58,090
In cotton candy land
10
00:00:58,225 --> 00:01:00,196
For those of you
who are wondering,
11
00:01:00,332 --> 00:01:03,435
who this fella here is,
12
00:01:03,570 --> 00:01:09,066
I am the legendary
colonel Tom Parker.
13
00:01:21,711 --> 00:01:23,785
Colonel Tom
Parker, legendary manager
14
00:01:23,921 --> 00:01:27,790
of Elvis Presley, has been
rushed to valley hospital.
15
00:01:27,925 --> 00:01:32,387
I am the man who
gave the world Elvis Presley.
16
00:01:34,764 --> 00:01:40,330
Without me, there would be
no Elvis Presley.
17
00:01:40,466 --> 00:01:42,260
And yet, there are some
18
00:01:42,396 --> 00:01:45,731
who'd make me out
to be the villain
19
00:01:45,867 --> 00:01:47,507
of this here story.
20
00:02:02,618 --> 00:02:07,186
Colonel Tom
Parker was a liar, a cheat, a con man.
21
00:02:07,322 --> 00:02:10,659
A shocking new book
accuses colonel Tom Parker
22
00:02:10,795 --> 00:02:13,288
of massive fraud
and mis-management.
23
00:02:15,998 --> 00:02:19,829
Parker received as much
as 50% of Elvis' income.
24
00:02:19,964 --> 00:02:21,703
He worked Elvis like a mule,
25
00:02:21,838 --> 00:02:23,597
to support his own
gambling addiction.
26
00:02:23,733 --> 00:02:25,486
The court finds
that the compensation received
27
00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:27,443
by colonel Parker was excessive,
28
00:02:27,579 --> 00:02:29,272
and shocked the conscience
of the court.
29
00:02:29,407 --> 00:02:31,154
Many believe
that colonel Tom Parker
30
00:02:31,178 --> 00:02:34,010
was responsible for the death
of Elvis Presley.
31
00:02:35,780 --> 00:02:37,309
Now, you listen to me.
32
00:02:37,445 --> 00:02:40,484
The only thing that matters
is that that man
33
00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:42,985
gets up on that stage tonight.
34
00:03:32,863 --> 00:03:39,772
Glory, glory, hallelujah
35
00:03:40,936 --> 00:03:47,878
his truth is marching on
36
00:03:52,012 --> 00:03:58,920
his truth is marching on
37
00:04:05,492 --> 00:04:08,395
Tom Parker killed him!
38
00:04:08,531 --> 00:04:11,595
No! That's not true.
39
00:04:24,415 --> 00:04:28,749
No, no, I didn't kill him.
40
00:04:31,420 --> 00:04:33,655
I made Elvis Presley.
41
00:04:36,291 --> 00:04:39,788
Nothing all those muckrakers
said in their books was true.
42
00:04:39,924 --> 00:04:42,389
Me and Elvis, we was partners.
43
00:04:42,524 --> 00:04:48,427
It was Elvis the showman
and the colonel the snowman.
44
00:04:48,563 --> 00:04:50,331
This is the lying dutchman.
45
00:04:50,467 --> 00:04:53,597
I always knew I was
destined for greatness.
46
00:04:53,733 --> 00:04:56,467
As an orphan,
I ran away to the carnival,
47
00:04:56,602 --> 00:04:59,506
where I learned the art
of the "snow job,"
48
00:04:59,641 --> 00:05:02,714
of emptying a rube's wallet
while leaving them with nothing
49
00:05:02,850 --> 00:05:05,342
but a smile on their face.
50
00:05:05,478 --> 00:05:07,185
But a carnival act
that would get you
51
00:05:07,321 --> 00:05:09,886
the most money, the most snow,
52
00:05:10,021 --> 00:05:13,455
had great costumes
and a unique trick,
53
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:15,384
that gave the audience feelings
54
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,788
they weren't sure
they should enjoy.
55
00:05:18,923 --> 00:05:20,863
But they do.
56
00:05:20,998 --> 00:05:26,059
And I knew if I could
find such an act,
57
00:05:26,195 --> 00:05:30,038
I could create the greatest...
58
00:05:30,174 --> 00:05:31,501
Show...
59
00:05:31,636 --> 00:05:32,641
On...
60
00:05:33,538 --> 00:05:36,176
Earth.
61
00:05:36,311 --> 00:05:39,645
After the carnival, I moved
into the music business...
62
00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:42,379
The country music business.
63
00:05:42,514 --> 00:05:46,851
I partnered with one of its
biggest stars, Hank snow.
64
00:05:46,986 --> 00:05:52,522
Pardon me if I'm sentimental
65
00:05:52,658 --> 00:05:54,960
when we say goodbye
66
00:05:55,096 --> 00:05:59,329
And his hapless son,
jimmie Rodgers snow.
67
00:05:59,465 --> 00:06:00,465
Hot-diggity-dog, Billy.
68
00:06:00,534 --> 00:06:02,635
- I got one.
- Oh, yeah.
69
00:06:02,770 --> 00:06:05,370
Can't believe it.
Blow their socks off.
70
00:06:05,505 --> 00:06:07,731
Security. Security, disk in!
71
00:06:07,866 --> 00:06:10,637
Tell the mayors of these towns
that we need a police escort
72
00:06:10,773 --> 00:06:12,337
for Hank when he arrives.
73
00:06:12,472 --> 00:06:15,479
In Baton Rouge, we are going
to have a carny wedding
74
00:06:15,614 --> 00:06:17,076
at the top of the Ferris wheel,
75
00:06:17,211 --> 00:06:19,343
so, zina, pick out
your next husband.
76
00:06:19,478 --> 00:06:21,882
In New Orleans, we're gonna
use the loudspeaker
77
00:06:22,018 --> 00:06:23,912
- to announce you, Hank.
- Oh, sure.
78
00:06:26,553 --> 00:06:27,993
You are going
to march in the parade.
79
00:06:29,354 --> 00:06:31,219
Am I gonna be riding
on an elephant, too?
80
00:06:31,355 --> 00:06:33,392
A man on an elephant
looks important.
81
00:06:33,527 --> 00:06:34,728
And taller.
82
00:06:34,864 --> 00:06:36,193
We still need to get
a novelty act
83
00:06:36,327 --> 00:06:38,265
- to bring in the young folk.
- Well, yes, yes,
84
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,066
that's why you have a meeting
with the Duke of paducah tonight.
85
00:06:41,201 --> 00:06:43,397
If we can book "the funniest
mouth in the south,"
86
00:06:43,532 --> 00:06:44,882
we'll have the greatest show
of the season.
87
00:06:44,906 --> 00:06:46,109
Hey, jimmie,
turn that record off.
88
00:06:46,133 --> 00:06:47,632
Y'all have to hear this.
89
00:06:47,767 --> 00:06:49,728
Kids all over town
are playing it everywhere I go.
90
00:06:57,352 --> 00:06:58,779
I hear negro rhythms.
91
00:06:58,915 --> 00:07:00,588
But with a country flavor.
92
00:07:00,723 --> 00:07:03,048
Sun records?
That's Sam Phillips' label.
93
00:07:03,183 --> 00:07:04,780
Oh, yeah, Phillips.
94
00:07:04,916 --> 00:07:07,659
He makes all those race records
with the colored singers.
95
00:07:07,795 --> 00:07:09,559
Well, this fella's
on the hayride tonight,
96
00:07:09,695 --> 00:07:11,129
after me in the newcomer spot.
97
00:07:11,265 --> 00:07:12,788
In shreveport?
98
00:07:12,924 --> 00:07:15,432
No, they are not putting
a colored boy on the hayride.
99
00:07:15,568 --> 00:07:18,637
That's the thing. He's white.
100
00:07:19,270 --> 00:07:20,705
He's...
101
00:07:22,801 --> 00:07:24,269
He's white?
102
00:07:24,404 --> 00:07:25,886
What do you think, texarkana?
103
00:07:25,910 --> 00:07:27,636
Shall we play it
for the 27th time?
104
00:07:27,771 --> 00:07:29,490
Well, that's all right, mama
105
00:07:29,514 --> 00:07:31,079
that's all right for you
106
00:07:31,214 --> 00:07:32,994
Shall we play it
for the 27th time?
107
00:07:33,018 --> 00:07:35,750
Everybody's talkin' 'bout
this new Presley kid
108
00:07:35,885 --> 00:07:38,086
That's all right...
109
00:07:38,221 --> 00:07:42,515
That's all right
that's all right...
110
00:07:45,756 --> 00:07:47,256
He's white?
111
00:07:52,927 --> 00:07:55,999
But it don't matter
if you do ten stupid things,
112
00:07:56,134 --> 00:07:59,036
as long as you do one smart one.
113
00:08:03,904 --> 00:08:06,605
Welcome y'all
to the Louisiana hayride,
114
00:08:06,741 --> 00:08:10,810
broadcasting live
to 26 of these United States.
115
00:08:10,946 --> 00:08:13,450
How do you think I feel
116
00:08:14,687 --> 00:08:18,218
I know your love's not real
117
00:08:18,353 --> 00:08:21,325
Well, the apple
doesn't fall far from the tree.
118
00:08:21,460 --> 00:08:23,026
Where is the colonel?
119
00:08:23,162 --> 00:08:26,192
You have the fella that's
singing the "all right, mama,"
120
00:08:26,328 --> 00:08:28,797
that new record that's
on the sun label, eh?
121
00:08:28,933 --> 00:08:30,827
- The pop jocks keep playing him.
- Yeah.
122
00:08:30,962 --> 00:08:32,462
Country DJs, too.
123
00:08:32,597 --> 00:08:35,004
Even the colored kids,
they're buyin' his record.
124
00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:38,801
The colored ki... well, where
would I find such an act?
125
00:08:38,936 --> 00:08:40,303
The dressing room.
126
00:08:43,815 --> 00:08:46,611
- Oh. Howdy.
- Hey, Elvis Presley?
127
00:08:46,747 --> 00:08:47,747
- Blue moon boys?
- Yeah.
128
00:08:47,848 --> 00:08:49,344
- You're up next.
- Oh, sh...
129
00:08:51,653 --> 00:08:53,112
Excuse me. Bill, go time!
130
00:08:53,247 --> 00:08:55,347
I know, I know.
131
00:08:55,483 --> 00:08:56,919
- Hi!
- How's his stomach?
132
00:08:57,054 --> 00:08:58,418
I thought I'd grab him a Pepsi,
133
00:08:58,553 --> 00:09:00,453
but poor thing's still shaking
like a leaf.
134
00:09:00,589 --> 00:09:03,192
I'll get him on the stage.
Come on. Let's go.
135
00:09:05,532 --> 00:09:06,992
Here.
136
00:09:07,128 --> 00:09:08,460
It'll settle your stomach.
137
00:09:08,595 --> 00:09:10,411
What if I forget
the words on live radio?
138
00:09:10,435 --> 00:09:12,716
All we gotta do out there's
just a bit of clownin' around.
139
00:09:12,833 --> 00:09:15,398
That's how we got this thing
started in the first place.
140
00:09:15,534 --> 00:09:17,169
Scotty and bill are right,
Elvis.
141
00:09:17,305 --> 00:09:18,744
You're not out there
on your own.
142
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:20,651
- You boys are a band.
- That's right.
143
00:09:20,675 --> 00:09:22,315
The lord gave us music
to bring people together.
144
00:09:22,339 --> 00:09:23,813
We're like a family,
145
00:09:23,949 --> 00:09:25,750
and family is the most
important thing of all.
146
00:09:25,846 --> 00:09:27,412
Amen.
147
00:09:27,547 --> 00:09:31,150
Come on now, booby.
Jesse's shining bright tonight.
148
00:09:31,285 --> 00:09:33,885
Shining down his strength
upon you.
149
00:09:38,896 --> 00:09:44,199
Oh, I'll fly away
150
00:09:44,334 --> 00:09:49,071
Jesse, Elvis's twin
brother, who died at birth.
151
00:09:49,207 --> 00:09:50,862
Tragic.
152
00:09:50,998 --> 00:09:53,066
Vernon, come quick!
It's another child!
153
00:09:53,202 --> 00:09:56,573
My darling, you'll
have the strength of two men.
154
00:09:56,708 --> 00:09:59,307
But when my boy's
daddy passed a bad check
155
00:09:59,443 --> 00:10:00,683
and got carted off to prison...
156
00:10:02,713 --> 00:10:04,359
The boy and his mama had
to take one of the houses
157
00:10:04,383 --> 00:10:06,610
for white folks
in a colored neighborhood.
158
00:10:06,746 --> 00:10:08,218
New boy! Come over!
159
00:10:08,353 --> 00:10:10,246
But that boy
had a big imagination.
160
00:10:11,983 --> 00:10:13,664
He really believed
he was the hero
161
00:10:13,754 --> 00:10:15,735
in one of them comic books.
162
00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:18,358
He was going to bust
his daddy out of the hoosegow
163
00:10:18,494 --> 00:10:22,296
and fly him
to the rock of eternity!
164
00:10:22,431 --> 00:10:24,959
Then he buys
his mama a pink Cadillac.
165
00:10:25,095 --> 00:10:27,272
Pink Cadillac?
What are you talking about?
166
00:10:27,407 --> 00:10:29,131
Hey, fools! Whoo!
167
00:10:29,266 --> 00:10:34,042
Ohh
168
00:10:34,177 --> 00:10:37,170
black snake crawlin' in my room
169
00:10:37,306 --> 00:10:39,182
come on, doc, let's go.
170
00:10:39,317 --> 00:10:42,779
Them comic book heroes
all have them super powers.
171
00:10:42,915 --> 00:10:46,483
His was music.
172
00:10:46,618 --> 00:10:54,618
That's all right, mama
that's all right with you
173
00:10:54,898 --> 00:11:01,759
that's all right, mama
anyway you do
174
00:11:03,568 --> 00:11:10,338
ohh... black snake
crawlin' in my room
175
00:11:10,473 --> 00:11:12,945
Move, man. Hey, it's my turn.
176
00:11:22,446 --> 00:11:25,483
That's all right, mama
177
00:11:30,486 --> 00:11:33,193
That's all right, mama
178
00:11:49,343 --> 00:11:53,876
Oh, I'll fly away oh, glory
179
00:11:54,011 --> 00:11:56,647
I'll fly away
180
00:11:56,783 --> 00:11:58,084
when I die
181
00:11:58,219 --> 00:12:02,116
when I die hallelujah, by and by
182
00:12:02,252 --> 00:12:03,413
What you doin'?
183
00:12:05,791 --> 00:12:07,225
I'll fly away
184
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,731
-no more preachin', no more
-I'll fly away
185
00:12:08,755 --> 00:12:11,521
-no more pain, no more
-I'll fly away
186
00:12:11,656 --> 00:12:13,064
I'll fly away
187
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,336
No more preachin', I'll fly
188
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,493
no more pain, I'll fly
189
00:12:15,628 --> 00:12:16,967
I'll fly away
190
00:12:17,103 --> 00:12:18,696
Hey, fool, come back.
191
00:12:19,706 --> 00:12:22,006
No. He's with the spirit!
192
00:12:22,937 --> 00:12:24,067
It's all right.
193
00:12:28,975 --> 00:12:32,048
Ohh
194
00:12:32,183 --> 00:12:34,879
black snake crawlin' in my room
195
00:12:35,015 --> 00:12:36,615
Whoo!
196
00:12:36,750 --> 00:12:40,657
That's all right, mama
that's all right with you
197
00:12:40,792 --> 00:12:42,558
That's all right, mama
198
00:12:42,693 --> 00:12:44,554
anyway you choose
199
00:12:44,689 --> 00:12:48,496
I'll fly away, oh, glory
200
00:12:48,631 --> 00:12:51,630
I'll fly away
201
00:12:51,765 --> 00:12:53,731
oh, away
202
00:12:53,867 --> 00:12:56,365
black snake crawling in my
room -Hallelujah, by and by
203
00:12:56,500 --> 00:12:59,697
-ohhh
- I'll fly away
204
00:12:59,833 --> 00:13:02,108
Elvis. Come on,
you gotta get on in.
205
00:13:02,244 --> 00:13:03,479
They've already announced you
on the radio.
206
00:13:03,503 --> 00:13:06,037
Folks are real excited.
207
00:13:06,172 --> 00:13:08,742
At sun records,
Sam Phillips was on a mission
208
00:13:08,877 --> 00:13:12,046
to save the world
by recording black music.
209
00:13:12,182 --> 00:13:14,246
But it didn't sell.
210
00:13:14,382 --> 00:13:15,913
So to pay his bills,
211
00:13:16,049 --> 00:13:19,585
he needed to find a new singer
for his country act.
212
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,485
I don't know what it is
you see in this boy.
213
00:13:22,620 --> 00:13:25,062
I just think he's different.
214
00:13:29,397 --> 00:13:32,168
How do you know
"big boy" crudup?
215
00:13:34,669 --> 00:13:38,337
That's all right, mama
that's all right for you
216
00:13:38,472 --> 00:13:41,946
that's all right, mama
anyway you do
217
00:13:42,081 --> 00:13:45,806
that's all right
that's all right
218
00:13:45,942 --> 00:13:50,709
that's all right now, mama
anyway you do
219
00:13:54,751 --> 00:13:56,951
He's a young singer
from Memphis, Tennessee.
220
00:13:57,087 --> 00:14:01,524
Got a song out on the sun
label. It's all over the radio.
221
00:14:01,659 --> 00:14:06,066
Give him a warm hayride welcome
to a Mr. Elvis Presley.
222
00:14:25,349 --> 00:14:27,343
Elvis, how are you this evening?
223
00:14:27,479 --> 00:14:28,986
Just fine, how you, sir?
224
00:14:29,122 --> 00:14:33,684
Greasy hair, girly makeup.
225
00:14:33,820 --> 00:14:36,986
I cannot overstate
how strange he looked.
226
00:14:37,122 --> 00:14:39,240
Are you all geared up
with your band there to...
227
00:14:39,264 --> 00:14:41,397
- I'm all geared up.
- Let us hear your songs?
228
00:14:41,532 --> 00:14:44,131
Uh... well, I'd like to say how
happy we are to be down here.
229
00:14:44,266 --> 00:14:46,102
It's a real honor
for us to be...
230
00:14:46,238 --> 00:14:48,303
Get a chance to appear
on the Louisiana hayride.
231
00:14:48,439 --> 00:14:50,867
We're gonna do a song for you
we got out on sun records.
232
00:14:51,002 --> 00:14:53,436
Uh...
233
00:14:53,572 --> 00:14:54,893
You got anything else
to say, sir?
234
00:14:54,942 --> 00:14:57,078
No. I'm ready.
235
00:15:02,849 --> 00:15:04,719
It goes...
236
00:15:04,854 --> 00:15:06,614
It goes something like this.
237
00:15:10,659 --> 00:15:11,690
Oh, baby, baby,
238
00:15:11,826 --> 00:15:14,121
baby, baby, baby
239
00:15:14,257 --> 00:15:16,155
baby, baby, baby
240
00:15:17,457 --> 00:15:19,560
Baby, baby, baby
241
00:15:20,625 --> 00:15:21,897
baby, baby, baby
242
00:15:23,667 --> 00:15:26,599
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
243
00:15:27,499 --> 00:15:29,133
get a haircut, fairy!
244
00:15:34,677 --> 00:15:37,247
In that moment,
in a flash of lightning,
245
00:15:37,383 --> 00:15:40,048
I watched that skinny boy
in the pink suit
246
00:15:40,183 --> 00:15:44,078
transform into a superhero.
247
00:15:44,214 --> 00:15:49,549
Well, you may go to college
you may go to school
248
00:15:49,684 --> 00:15:53,161
you may have a pink Cadillac
but don't you be nobody's fool
249
00:15:53,296 --> 00:15:55,994
now, baby come back, baby, come
250
00:15:56,130 --> 00:15:57,859
come back, baby, come
251
00:15:57,994 --> 00:16:02,059
come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
252
00:16:02,195 --> 00:16:04,100
well, listen and
I'll tell you, baby
253
00:16:04,235 --> 00:16:05,638
what I'm talking about
254
00:16:08,042 --> 00:16:10,368
Come on back to me, little
girl so we can play some house
255
00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:13,075
Baby, come back, baby, come
256
00:16:13,211 --> 00:16:14,404
come back, baby, come
257
00:16:16,175 --> 00:16:17,795
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
258
00:16:17,819 --> 00:16:19,943
wanna play house!
259
00:16:20,078 --> 00:16:22,378
- What are they hollerin' at?
- The wiggle!
260
00:16:22,513 --> 00:16:23,681
The what?
261
00:16:23,817 --> 00:16:24,997
Them girls wanna see you wiggle.
262
00:16:25,021 --> 00:16:26,055
Move, man!
263
00:16:26,191 --> 00:16:28,085
- Do more!
- Much more!
264
00:16:28,221 --> 00:16:29,252
Man!
265
00:16:29,387 --> 00:16:30,727
Do it again.
266
00:16:32,697 --> 00:16:36,927
Well, this is one thing, baby
that I want you to know
267
00:16:37,062 --> 00:16:38,794
come on back
let's play a little house
268
00:16:38,929 --> 00:16:40,229
and we can do what we did before
269
00:16:40,365 --> 00:16:41,230
now, baby
270
00:16:41,365 --> 00:16:42,233
sit down!
271
00:16:42,369 --> 00:16:43,734
Come back, baby, come
272
00:16:43,869 --> 00:16:46,240
come back, baby, come
come back, baby
273
00:16:46,376 --> 00:16:47,976
what in god's sweet name
am I looking at?
274
00:16:48,073 --> 00:16:49,073
Hit it!
275
00:17:19,139 --> 00:17:20,767
What were you thinking, jimmie?
276
00:17:23,176 --> 00:17:24,417
I don't know what I'm thinking.
277
00:17:26,478 --> 00:17:29,608
Please, lord,
don't let 'em hurt my baby.
278
00:17:29,743 --> 00:17:31,810
Hurt him?
Looks like they wanna...
279
00:17:35,115 --> 00:17:39,313
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
280
00:17:39,449 --> 00:17:42,958
Now, I don't
know nothin' about music...
281
00:17:44,858 --> 00:17:48,129
But I could see
in that girl's eyes,
282
00:17:48,264 --> 00:17:49,990
that she was having feelings
283
00:17:50,126 --> 00:17:52,962
she wasn't sure
she should enjoy.
284
00:17:53,097 --> 00:17:56,034
Black snake crawlin' in my room
285
00:17:56,169 --> 00:17:57,701
Yes.
286
00:18:00,773 --> 00:18:04,443
He was a taste
of forbidden fruit.
287
00:18:05,807 --> 00:18:09,349
She could've eaten him alive.
288
00:18:23,824 --> 00:18:27,191
Why are you trying
to kill my son?
289
00:18:27,327 --> 00:18:29,261
It was the greatest
carnival attraction
290
00:18:29,397 --> 00:18:31,231
I'd ever seen.
291
00:18:31,366 --> 00:18:33,864
He was my destiny.
292
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,672
Right under my nose...
In Memphis.
293
00:18:41,140 --> 00:18:42,854
Top of the morning
to you, friends,
294
00:18:42,878 --> 00:18:45,042
from the home of colorful,
old beale street.
295
00:18:45,178 --> 00:18:48,343
The place where the blues began
in Memphis, Tennessee,
296
00:18:48,478 --> 00:18:50,749
where you see pretty browns
dressed in beautiful gowns,
297
00:18:50,884 --> 00:18:53,489
along with tailor-mades
and hand-me-downs.
298
00:18:53,625 --> 00:18:56,053
Where you see honest men
and pickpockets skilled,
299
00:18:56,189 --> 00:18:58,794
and business never closes
till somebody gets killed.
300
00:18:58,929 --> 00:19:00,694
Now, just kidding.
301
00:19:00,830 --> 00:19:03,123
But there's a lot goin' down
on beale street tonight,
302
00:19:03,258 --> 00:19:05,390
and nowhere more-so
than at the club handy.
303
00:19:05,526 --> 00:19:07,366
Come around if you wanna see
big mama Thornton,
304
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,862
layin' down her newest hit.
305
00:19:09,998 --> 00:19:11,182
Get it, get it
306
00:19:11,206 --> 00:19:12,069
Get it! Come on!
307
00:19:12,204 --> 00:19:14,037
Oh, let's do it
308
00:19:14,172 --> 00:19:17,475
Now, listen up,
while brown america speaks.
309
00:19:17,610 --> 00:19:22,005
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
310
00:19:22,141 --> 00:19:23,613
quit snoopin' 'round my door
311
00:19:32,420 --> 00:19:36,923
Just why a truck
driver from Memphis, Tennessee,
312
00:19:37,059 --> 00:19:40,689
liked to hang out
on beale street, I do not know.
313
00:19:40,825 --> 00:19:44,497
You told me you was high class
but I could see through that...
314
00:19:44,633 --> 00:19:46,898
But it did him no favors,
315
00:19:47,033 --> 00:19:50,797
fitting into them
white housing projects.
316
00:19:50,933 --> 00:19:53,709
Hey, squirrel. Nice shoes.
317
00:19:53,844 --> 00:20:00,349
And, daddy, I know that
you ain't no real cool cat
318
00:20:01,214 --> 00:20:02,742
hey, Elvis!
319
00:20:09,883 --> 00:20:11,659
Hey, Tommy.
320
00:20:11,794 --> 00:20:13,955
That's that boy whose record
everybody's talkin' about.
321
00:20:20,436 --> 00:20:22,764
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
322
00:20:41,282 --> 00:20:45,655
Hey, sideburns.
Where's the negro suit today?
323
00:20:45,791 --> 00:20:50,223
He was crazy
for that beale street music.
324
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,023
Beale street style.
325
00:20:53,158 --> 00:20:56,428
He had beale street stars
in his eyes.
326
00:20:56,564 --> 00:20:58,426
What do you think, Tony? Huh?
327
00:20:58,561 --> 00:21:00,195
B.b. King.
328
00:21:00,330 --> 00:21:04,835
No, I didn't take my boy away
from nothin'.
329
00:21:04,971 --> 00:21:08,442
He was runnin'
from the day he was born.
330
00:21:08,577 --> 00:21:13,011
I just opened the door
to our destiny.
331
00:21:13,147 --> 00:21:16,009
So without so much as
a word to your daddy and me,
332
00:21:16,144 --> 00:21:17,682
you quit your job
to go traveling
333
00:21:17,818 --> 00:21:20,052
all the way to Florida
with this colonel fellow
334
00:21:20,188 --> 00:21:21,911
that we have never met.
335
00:21:22,047 --> 00:21:23,420
Mama, it's only four days.
336
00:21:23,555 --> 00:21:26,019
Yeah, four days.
And then what?
337
00:21:26,154 --> 00:21:29,556
I knew a fella once,
got his record on the radio.
338
00:21:29,691 --> 00:21:31,894
It was all over in a flash.
339
00:21:32,029 --> 00:21:35,025
Mama, I'm just trying
to take care of you and daddy.
340
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,030
That's all I have
ever cared about.
341
00:21:37,165 --> 00:21:38,844
I ain't ever gonna let us
get back to a place again
342
00:21:38,868 --> 00:21:40,239
where daddy gets in trouble
with the law
343
00:21:40,263 --> 00:21:41,802
- to put food on the table.
- Elvis!
344
00:21:42,943 --> 00:21:44,166
How dare you?
345
00:21:45,144 --> 00:21:46,375
As the good lord warns us,
346
00:21:46,511 --> 00:21:48,874
do not wear yourself out
to get rich.
347
00:21:49,009 --> 00:21:52,847
Do not trust your own
goddamn cleverness!
348
00:21:55,649 --> 00:21:58,586
Elvis, you've upset your mama.
349
00:22:12,158 --> 00:22:13,830
You know, mama, I was thinkin',
350
00:22:13,966 --> 00:22:15,900
maybe I'll buy you one of them
pink Cadillacs
351
00:22:16,036 --> 00:22:18,197
like you saw back when you
was working at the hospital.
352
00:22:19,275 --> 00:22:21,133
I don't need no pink Cadillac.
353
00:22:22,706 --> 00:22:25,069
Satnin, I just gotta be making
354
00:22:25,205 --> 00:22:26,877
the most of this thing
while I can.
355
00:22:27,013 --> 00:22:29,744
It's like daddy says, this
could all be over in a flash.
356
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,580
I'm not fearful
of it being over, booby.
357
00:22:32,715 --> 00:22:35,584
I don't know how to explain it.
358
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,482
But I saw it
in that girl's eyes.
359
00:22:39,617 --> 00:22:43,753
It's something beyond us,
but I know that whatever it is,
360
00:22:43,888 --> 00:22:46,463
it's something that...
361
00:22:46,598 --> 00:22:49,190
It's something
that can come between us.
362
00:22:49,325 --> 00:22:52,599
Oh, no, mama, no. Hey.
363
00:22:52,735 --> 00:22:54,664
Ain't nothing ever
gonna do that.
364
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,867
You're my girl. My satnin.
365
00:22:58,002 --> 00:23:00,269
You'll always be
my bestest girl.
366
00:23:00,405 --> 00:23:02,142
Hey.
367
00:23:02,278 --> 00:23:05,141
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
368
00:23:05,276 --> 00:23:08,340
I will call you every night.
369
00:23:11,419 --> 00:23:13,312
Will you promise me, booby?
370
00:23:14,254 --> 00:23:16,247
I promise.
371
00:23:16,383 --> 00:23:18,787
I promise. I promise,
I promise.
372
00:23:18,923 --> 00:23:20,920
- All right. I love you.
- Bye, baby.
373
00:23:21,055 --> 00:23:22,588
Nothing but nothing...
374
00:23:22,723 --> 00:23:23,723
I love you.
375
00:23:23,827 --> 00:23:25,290
Is gonna come between us.
376
00:23:25,425 --> 00:23:27,427
- Let's go!
- Bye, booby!
377
00:23:27,563 --> 00:23:28,963
See you soon!
378
00:23:29,797 --> 00:23:32,771
Wanna bet?
379
00:23:32,906 --> 00:23:36,068
Well, it's one for the money
two for the show
380
00:23:36,203 --> 00:23:38,170
three to get ready
now go, cat, go
381
00:23:38,306 --> 00:23:43,038
but don't you
step on my blue suede shoes
382
00:23:43,174 --> 00:23:44,581
well, you can do anything
383
00:23:44,716 --> 00:23:48,014
but stay off of my
blue suede shoes
384
00:23:48,149 --> 00:23:50,851
well, you can knock me down
step in my face
385
00:23:50,986 --> 00:23:52,650
Your attention, please.
386
00:23:52,785 --> 00:23:54,282
I have some good news.
387
00:23:54,418 --> 00:23:57,517
Our next four nights
are sold out...
388
00:23:57,652 --> 00:23:59,287
thanks to the dazzling
performances
389
00:23:59,423 --> 00:24:03,424
of our tremendous showman,
Hank snow.
390
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:10,529
Pardon me if I'm sentimental
when we say goodbye
391
00:24:10,664 --> 00:24:12,264
And I've noticed a mild interest
392
00:24:12,366 --> 00:24:14,800
in our newest act,
Elvis Presley.
393
00:24:21,578 --> 00:24:22,779
Hi.
394
00:24:22,915 --> 00:24:24,480
Yeah, Dixie, I'll be back
before prom.
395
00:24:29,186 --> 00:24:31,953
Well you can burn my house
steal my car
396
00:24:32,088 --> 00:24:34,560
drink my liquor
from an old fruit jar
397
00:24:34,695 --> 00:24:36,618
do anything that you want to do
398
00:24:36,754 --> 00:24:39,025
Colonel, what is
that boy doing on our tour?
399
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,720
Well, I told you all about him.
400
00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:42,758
And he wants to record
one of your songs.
401
00:24:42,894 --> 00:24:44,265
Oh? Which one?
402
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,400
All of them.
403
00:24:45,536 --> 00:24:47,497
Well, you warn him plenty.
404
00:24:47,633 --> 00:24:51,799
None of those lewd gyrations
or sudden, jerky movements.
405
00:24:55,245 --> 00:24:56,547
Let's go!
406
00:24:57,643 --> 00:24:58,878
Let's rock!
407
00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:08,981
Is that a pair
of young ladies' intimates
408
00:25:09,116 --> 00:25:10,357
I see upon the stage?
409
00:25:10,492 --> 00:25:12,550
Yes, I believe it is, Hank.
410
00:25:12,685 --> 00:25:15,525
Best not happen
when he sings one of my songs.
411
00:25:15,660 --> 00:25:17,192
I'm sure it won't.
412
00:25:17,328 --> 00:25:18,710
Elvis, the papers say
there are girls
413
00:25:18,734 --> 00:25:20,161
around your hotel
all night long.
414
00:25:20,297 --> 00:25:21,896
I don't even go out, mama.
I stay in.
415
00:25:22,031 --> 00:25:24,004
You know, it gets lonesome.
416
00:25:24,139 --> 00:25:26,464
I tell you, this
new sensation, Elvis Presley,
417
00:25:26,599 --> 00:25:28,441
he's breaking hearts
all over the south.
418
00:25:28,576 --> 00:25:30,038
Quit knocking at my door,
Scotty.
419
00:25:35,413 --> 00:25:41,587
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
420
00:25:43,449 --> 00:25:46,547
Never know how much I love you
421
00:25:47,724 --> 00:25:51,694
never know how much I care
422
00:25:51,829 --> 00:25:54,921
when you put your arms around me
423
00:25:58,767 --> 00:26:00,462
Oh, come on, e.P.
424
00:26:00,597 --> 00:26:03,063
Life on the road ain't
the concern of folks back home.
425
00:26:03,199 --> 00:26:04,396
Fever
426
00:26:04,532 --> 00:26:06,232
Why don't you try one of these?
427
00:26:06,368 --> 00:26:08,534
Put the pep back into your step.
428
00:26:08,669 --> 00:26:11,207
What a lovely way to burn
429
00:26:13,081 --> 00:26:15,241
Well, shake, rattle and roll
430
00:26:15,377 --> 00:26:17,580
I said shake, rattle and roll
431
00:26:17,715 --> 00:26:20,486
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
432
00:26:20,621 --> 00:26:21,747
well, you won't do right
433
00:26:21,881 --> 00:26:22,881
whoo!
434
00:26:22,953 --> 00:26:24,317
To save your doggone soul
435
00:26:24,452 --> 00:26:25,736
You're really
something else, man!
436
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,089
I promise,
I'll put my heart in...
437
00:26:27,225 --> 00:26:28,572
I wanna be just like you!
438
00:26:28,596 --> 00:26:30,157
Okay. Yeah, thank you.
439
00:26:30,292 --> 00:26:31,923
I can no longer,
in good conscience,
440
00:26:32,059 --> 00:26:33,288
go on stage with that boy.
441
00:26:33,424 --> 00:26:36,395
Yes, a conundrum. A conundrum.
442
00:26:36,530 --> 00:26:39,904
Please welcome
to the stage, Hank snow!
443
00:26:40,039 --> 00:26:43,707
After I perform, I shall
spend the night in prayer.
444
00:26:43,842 --> 00:26:46,502
And I will do
what needs to be done.
445
00:26:55,550 --> 00:26:56,951
Come on, jimmie!
446
00:26:59,317 --> 00:27:02,854
How do you think that I feel
447
00:27:02,989 --> 00:27:05,485
oh, baby oh, baby
448
00:27:05,620 --> 00:27:08,697
how do you think that I feel
449
00:27:20,272 --> 00:27:22,534
That night,
I happened to see him.
450
00:27:23,277 --> 00:27:24,679
Alone.
451
00:27:25,643 --> 00:27:26,680
Lost.
452
00:27:29,749 --> 00:27:34,144
A snowman is only as good...
453
00:27:34,279 --> 00:27:36,385
As his attraction.
454
00:27:36,521 --> 00:27:38,185
Elvis!
455
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,022
- Come on, man.
- Elvis, come on! Hurry up!
456
00:27:44,755 --> 00:27:47,227
It was all, or nothing.
457
00:27:47,362 --> 00:27:48,870
Elvis, we're going
to the hall of mirrors!
458
00:27:48,894 --> 00:27:50,428
Wait up!
459
00:27:50,563 --> 00:27:52,514
Screw the hall
of mirrors. That's boring.
460
00:27:56,665 --> 00:27:59,506
Right, hang on.
Here we go.
461
00:28:02,577 --> 00:28:03,577
Hold on.
462
00:28:05,142 --> 00:28:06,881
All right, fellas. Come on.
463
00:28:10,313 --> 00:28:12,678
- Oh.
- Lost, my boy?
464
00:28:14,523 --> 00:28:16,219
Colonel Parker, sir.
465
00:28:18,892 --> 00:28:21,694
You look lost.
466
00:28:21,829 --> 00:28:24,094
- I guess I am.
- Ah, yes.
467
00:28:24,230 --> 00:28:27,900
The roar of the crowd.
The life on the road.
468
00:28:28,035 --> 00:28:30,163
And then calling home
to your loved ones,
469
00:28:30,298 --> 00:28:32,304
pretending nothing has changed,
470
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,873
when everything has.
471
00:28:35,771 --> 00:28:38,107
Yeah. Lost.
472
00:28:39,906 --> 00:28:42,439
I'm sorry, sir. I... I meant
I don't know the way out.
473
00:28:42,575 --> 00:28:47,114
Yeah, that is precisely
what I am saying.
474
00:28:47,250 --> 00:28:52,079
I... I saw you.
Apart from all the others.
475
00:28:52,214 --> 00:28:54,451
Burdened.
476
00:28:54,586 --> 00:28:57,256
Like you don't know
how to get out of this.
477
00:28:58,330 --> 00:28:59,719
But I do.
478
00:29:01,392 --> 00:29:03,025
Snowman's coming
479
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,399
allow me to show you.
480
00:29:04,535 --> 00:29:07,403
Yes, he's coming
481
00:29:07,539 --> 00:29:11,970
take his magic hand
482
00:29:12,105 --> 00:29:13,941
Creatures of the carnival.
483
00:29:14,076 --> 00:29:16,240
And I am one myself.
484
00:29:16,375 --> 00:29:19,504
It's where I learned the art
of the snow job.
485
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,014
- Snow job?
- Yes.
486
00:29:21,149 --> 00:29:22,894
It's like the trick
you do with the wiggling,
487
00:29:22,918 --> 00:29:24,476
getting all the girls hyped up,
488
00:29:24,611 --> 00:29:26,183
empty their wallets
and leave them
489
00:29:26,318 --> 00:29:28,750
with nothing but the smiles
on their faces.
490
00:29:28,885 --> 00:29:29,949
I'm no trickster.
491
00:29:30,084 --> 00:29:31,885
Oh, yes, you are.
492
00:29:32,021 --> 00:29:34,217
All showmen are snowmen.
493
00:29:34,353 --> 00:29:36,087
It's a wonderful place.
494
00:29:36,223 --> 00:29:37,621
Nobody on the aerio.
495
00:29:41,497 --> 00:29:45,432
Your future, Mr. Presley,
blazing before you.
496
00:29:45,566 --> 00:29:48,807
Recording contracts,
television, even Hollywood.
497
00:29:52,303 --> 00:29:53,978
You're great, colonel.
498
00:29:54,113 --> 00:29:57,210
You are the best person
I could ever hope to work with.
499
00:29:57,345 --> 00:29:58,946
You know, this is something
I ain't never
500
00:29:58,979 --> 00:30:00,816
said to nobody before...
501
00:30:00,952 --> 00:30:02,780
But I believe
I can be great, too.
502
00:30:02,916 --> 00:30:04,511
Oh, no doubt.
503
00:30:04,647 --> 00:30:07,618
But we could be
even greater together.
504
00:30:07,753 --> 00:30:12,828
But to achieve this, I need
to represent you exclusively.
505
00:30:12,964 --> 00:30:15,259
Exclusively?
Sir, I... I don't follow.
506
00:30:16,797 --> 00:30:18,024
What about Hank snow?
507
00:30:18,159 --> 00:30:19,963
Hank. Yes...
508
00:30:20,098 --> 00:30:22,035
He sent me here to fire you.
509
00:30:25,806 --> 00:30:27,464
Hank wants you off the tour.
510
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,043
So I will have to leave Hank.
511
00:30:32,342 --> 00:30:34,311
We will both have to
make sacrifices.
512
00:30:34,447 --> 00:30:37,675
We will need a record label
with national distribution.
513
00:30:39,518 --> 00:30:41,052
Rca?
514
00:30:42,883 --> 00:30:44,721
Rca.
515
00:30:44,857 --> 00:30:47,453
Sam Phillips... discovered me.
516
00:30:47,589 --> 00:30:50,852
I know, but we have a way
to help Sam understand
517
00:30:50,987 --> 00:30:54,024
that it would be foolish of him
to hold you back.
518
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,229
Every man has his price.
519
00:30:56,365 --> 00:30:58,265
Rca does have the distribution.
520
00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,505
I just need to know that you'll
521
00:30:59,529 --> 00:31:00,794
still be with me as friends.
522
00:31:00,930 --> 00:31:02,965
Don't doubt that,
we're not going anywhere.
523
00:31:03,100 --> 00:31:06,633
Marion and I just don't want to
stand in your way, that's all.
524
00:31:06,769 --> 00:31:10,037
The world needs
to hear you sing, Elvis.
525
00:31:10,172 --> 00:31:12,443
Elvis Presley's
contract sold to rca today
526
00:31:12,578 --> 00:31:14,543
for the highest price
in music history.
527
00:31:14,678 --> 00:31:17,148
Quite the payday
for sun records.
528
00:31:17,283 --> 00:31:20,214
It's just business.
Show business.
529
00:31:20,350 --> 00:31:21,646
To achieve truly great things,
530
00:31:21,782 --> 00:31:24,057
one must make
truly great sacrifices.
531
00:31:24,192 --> 00:31:27,752
You will have to be free
of any entanglements.
532
00:31:27,888 --> 00:31:31,562
You see, my boy,
show business is snow business.
533
00:31:31,697 --> 00:31:35,564
And the fans need to believe
that you are always available.
534
00:31:35,699 --> 00:31:37,372
The colonel says
that with all the publicity
535
00:31:37,396 --> 00:31:38,771
that's gonna be coming,
536
00:31:38,907 --> 00:31:40,931
he might have to
put it out there that...
537
00:31:41,067 --> 00:31:42,397
That...
538
00:31:42,533 --> 00:31:44,574
I don't have a girl.
539
00:31:48,073 --> 00:31:51,511
Then we will need
your parents' legal commitment.
540
00:31:51,646 --> 00:31:55,119
They may need a bit
of convincing themselves.
541
00:31:55,254 --> 00:31:57,175
Sam Phillips
is a good man we can trust.
542
00:31:57,255 --> 00:32:00,452
We don't know this colonel
from a nail in a wall.
543
00:32:00,588 --> 00:32:02,469
Is there a lawyer
representing the family?
544
00:32:02,552 --> 00:32:03,691
Oh, unnecessary.
545
00:32:03,827 --> 00:32:05,424
I am of the firm opinion
546
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,864
that family is the most
important thing in the world.
547
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,590
In mind of that,
I have taken the Liberty
548
00:32:11,726 --> 00:32:13,431
of making these contracts out
549
00:32:13,566 --> 00:32:16,636
in the name
of Elvis Presley enterprises.
550
00:32:16,771 --> 00:32:18,004
A family business.
551
00:32:18,140 --> 00:32:20,805
And I was thinking,
Vernon Presley:
552
00:32:20,940 --> 00:32:22,406
Business manager.
553
00:32:25,773 --> 00:32:27,680
What do you think, daddy?
554
00:32:27,816 --> 00:32:30,083
Uh... well, uh...
555
00:32:30,218 --> 00:32:31,946
- I like it very much, son.
- Ah!
556
00:32:33,946 --> 00:32:37,252
Mrs. Presley,
your son has a unique gift.
557
00:32:37,387 --> 00:32:38,822
It's as though
he has the strength
558
00:32:38,958 --> 00:32:41,284
of two men inside of him.
559
00:32:43,155 --> 00:32:44,769
You know, colonel,
I would do anything
560
00:32:44,793 --> 00:32:46,469
to make sure my mama and daddy
never have to live
561
00:32:46,493 --> 00:32:48,329
in no poverty ever again.
562
00:32:48,465 --> 00:32:51,928
Mama, it's gonna turn out
so, so good.
563
00:32:52,064 --> 00:32:53,268
Mm.
564
00:32:56,607 --> 00:32:58,087
Colonel, I wasn't fooling
when I told those other kids
565
00:32:58,111 --> 00:32:59,632
I was gonna buy 'em
a Cadillac one day.
566
00:32:59,674 --> 00:33:02,102
My boy, with me, you will
buy them two Cadillacs.
567
00:33:02,238 --> 00:33:03,508
Two?
568
00:33:04,912 --> 00:33:05,947
A hundred?
569
00:33:06,082 --> 00:33:07,179
Two hundred.
570
00:33:07,314 --> 00:33:09,144
- A thousand.
- A million.
571
00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:10,514
An aeroplane.
572
00:33:10,649 --> 00:33:12,585
How about a rocket ship?
573
00:33:12,721 --> 00:33:16,993
Well, maybe not a rocket ship.
My mama don't like me to fly.
574
00:33:17,128 --> 00:33:21,195
But me, I've always
wanted to fly. Fast.
575
00:33:21,331 --> 00:33:24,963
Faster than the speed of light
to the rock of eternity.
576
00:33:25,099 --> 00:33:27,194
What? To the rock of eternity?
577
00:33:27,330 --> 00:33:28,827
Captain marvel, Jr.
578
00:33:30,004 --> 00:33:31,665
He's my favorite
comic book hero.
579
00:33:32,805 --> 00:33:34,534
He flies.
580
00:33:34,670 --> 00:33:36,505
Well, what about you,
Mr. Presley?
581
00:33:37,470 --> 00:33:39,474
Are you ready to fly?
582
00:33:40,407 --> 00:33:42,774
Yes, sir. I'm ready.
583
00:33:43,651 --> 00:33:44,974
Ready to fly.
584
00:33:53,183 --> 00:33:54,864
Uh, Mr. Presley,
585
00:33:54,922 --> 00:33:56,850
try not to move around
so much during the takes.
586
00:33:56,986 --> 00:33:59,228
If I can't move, I can't sing.
587
00:33:59,363 --> 00:34:02,159
Well, since my baby left me
588
00:34:03,961 --> 00:34:07,160
Well, I found a new place
to dwell
589
00:34:07,296 --> 00:34:09,008
What is he doing?
We paid for this?
590
00:34:09,032 --> 00:34:10,798
It's down at the end of
lonely street at...
591
00:34:10,933 --> 00:34:12,642
It's a suicide song.
592
00:34:12,778 --> 00:34:15,336
Heartbreak hotel
593
00:34:15,471 --> 00:34:18,208
Them know-it-alls
said I'd backed the wrong horse.
594
00:34:18,344 --> 00:34:20,545
But my boy knew teenagers.
595
00:34:20,681 --> 00:34:24,881
And that first record
changed everything.
596
00:34:25,016 --> 00:34:29,619
Well, it's so very hard to have
to leave the one you love
597
00:34:29,755 --> 00:34:32,983
and you get more lonely
with each passing day
598
00:34:34,727 --> 00:34:39,196
it's so lonely just sitting
and dreaming of...
599
00:34:39,332 --> 00:34:40,773
In a few short months,
600
00:34:40,863 --> 00:34:42,563
Elvis Presley has popped
out of nowhere.
601
00:34:42,699 --> 00:34:44,830
Everywhere he goes,
he causes riots,
602
00:34:44,965 --> 00:34:47,570
mountains of press
and rivers of money.
603
00:34:47,706 --> 00:34:50,066
It's another
gold record for Elvis Presley.
604
00:34:50,201 --> 00:34:52,902
This one giving him his first
worldwide hit.
605
00:34:57,345 --> 00:35:00,416
Mrs. Presley, look!
606
00:35:00,552 --> 00:35:03,746
Come on, Mrs. Presley, let
me show you how to use this.
607
00:35:03,882 --> 00:35:06,055
Come on, hens! Come on, hens!
Come on!
608
00:35:06,191 --> 00:35:09,750
Come on! Outside!
Out of my house!
609
00:35:09,885 --> 00:35:12,392
Come on, this way!
Come on, babies!
610
00:35:13,256 --> 00:35:14,561
Dodger!
611
00:35:19,059 --> 00:35:20,959
- Go, Billy boy!
- Ya-hoo-hoo!
612
00:35:21,094 --> 00:35:22,903
I took my boy's wiggling
613
00:35:23,039 --> 00:35:25,598
and put it in the movies.
614
00:35:25,734 --> 00:35:27,600
I took his name and face,
615
00:35:27,735 --> 00:35:29,440
and put it on all sorts of toys
616
00:35:29,575 --> 00:35:31,611
and knick-knacks,
and called it...
617
00:35:31,747 --> 00:35:33,036
"Merchandise."
618
00:35:33,172 --> 00:35:35,545
Your face on every
conceivable object,
619
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,081
including Teddy bear, perfume,
plaster busts...
620
00:35:39,217 --> 00:35:40,412
Of questionable likeness.
621
00:35:40,548 --> 00:35:42,078
"The Elvis Presley game."
622
00:35:42,213 --> 00:35:45,323
Something so everyone
can show their love.
623
00:35:45,458 --> 00:35:49,821
Grandma dodger,
what is that behind your ear?
624
00:35:50,963 --> 00:35:52,989
"I hate Elvis."
625
00:35:54,997 --> 00:35:56,326
Huh?
626
00:35:56,461 --> 00:35:57,991
Yes. I hate Elvis.
627
00:35:58,127 --> 00:35:59,670
In my way of thinking,
"I love Elvis,"
628
00:35:59,806 --> 00:36:01,005
that's an easy sell.
629
00:36:01,140 --> 00:36:02,831
Those who hate your son
will do so
630
00:36:02,966 --> 00:36:05,571
whether we profit
from it or not.
631
00:36:05,707 --> 00:36:10,345
After all, what is hate worth
if it's free?
632
00:36:11,707 --> 00:36:13,315
Oh, yeah. I get it.
633
00:36:17,085 --> 00:36:18,587
Snowman strikes again.
634
00:36:21,022 --> 00:36:23,654
Merchandise, promotion.
Diskin, what else do we have?
635
00:36:23,788 --> 00:36:25,404
- Necklaces.
- Necklaces.
636
00:36:25,428 --> 00:36:28,361
- Scarves.
- Oh, scarves. Yes...
637
00:36:28,496 --> 00:36:31,029
Mr. Presley
and Mr. King...
638
00:36:31,164 --> 00:36:32,363
Regular peas in a pod,
639
00:36:32,499 --> 00:36:34,229
relieving me
of my finest threads.
640
00:36:34,364 --> 00:36:35,462
Must be some occasion.
641
00:36:35,598 --> 00:36:36,828
Mr. Lansky, it's Milton berle.
642
00:36:36,964 --> 00:36:38,761
The whole of america'll
be watching.
643
00:36:38,897 --> 00:36:40,840
I don't watch television.
644
00:36:40,975 --> 00:36:42,174
So what's it gonna be?
645
00:36:42,309 --> 00:36:44,033
How you gonna
blow their wigs off?
646
00:36:44,169 --> 00:36:47,544
Well, the network
wants me to do a ballad.
647
00:36:47,679 --> 00:36:49,659
But I'm thinking about
cuttin' it up with "hound dog."
648
00:36:49,683 --> 00:36:51,042
Whoo!
649
00:36:51,177 --> 00:36:57,044
Elvis Presley, "hound dog,"
and uncle miltie.
650
00:36:57,180 --> 00:36:59,083
Strange things
are happening every day.
651
00:36:59,218 --> 00:37:01,990
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog, hound dog
652
00:37:02,126 --> 00:37:04,228
cryin' all the time
653
00:37:04,363 --> 00:37:06,720
you ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
654
00:37:06,856 --> 00:37:09,299
cryin' all the time
655
00:37:09,434 --> 00:37:11,058
well, you ain't never
caught a rabbit
656
00:37:11,193 --> 00:37:13,730
and you ain't no friend of mine
657
00:37:13,866 --> 00:37:16,466
when they said
you was high classed
658
00:37:16,602 --> 00:37:18,835
well, that was just a lie
659
00:37:18,970 --> 00:37:21,636
yeah, they said
you were high classed
660
00:37:21,772 --> 00:37:24,035
behold, tomorrow, all of america
661
00:37:24,171 --> 00:37:26,341
will be talking
about Elvis Presley.
662
00:37:26,477 --> 00:37:27,477
My wiggling boy.
663
00:37:29,913 --> 00:37:32,114
Even as a little one,
he made me laugh so.
664
00:37:32,250 --> 00:37:34,050
He's so funny!
665
00:37:34,185 --> 00:37:36,266
You never caught a rabbit
you ain't no friend of mine
666
00:37:40,290 --> 00:37:42,757
You ain't nothin' but a
hound dog, a hound dog
667
00:37:44,362 --> 00:37:45,692
cryin' all the time
668
00:37:45,828 --> 00:37:47,268
And, senator, for the next leg
669
00:37:47,299 --> 00:37:48,729
of your racial integrity tour,
670
00:37:48,865 --> 00:37:51,860
we booked the over ton
park shell in Memphis.
671
00:37:51,996 --> 00:37:53,728
What are they laughing about?
672
00:37:56,675 --> 00:37:59,904
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
673
00:38:01,245 --> 00:38:03,705
cryin' all the time
674
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,916
who the hell is that?
675
00:38:06,051 --> 00:38:08,214
It's that boy from Memphis.
676
00:38:08,350 --> 00:38:10,513
Elvis Presley.
677
00:38:10,649 --> 00:38:12,752
Cryin' all the time
678
00:38:12,887 --> 00:38:17,251
a white boy from Memphis,
moving like a goddamn...
679
00:38:17,387 --> 00:38:23,266
Is your heart filled with pain
680
00:38:24,727 --> 00:38:27,295
shall I come back...
681
00:38:27,430 --> 00:38:32,266
The obscenity and vulgarity
of this rock and roll music
682
00:38:32,402 --> 00:38:36,134
is obviously a means by which
the white man and his children
683
00:38:36,270 --> 00:38:38,404
can be driven to the level
of the negro.
684
00:38:38,540 --> 00:38:40,551
The colored folks have
been singing and playing it
685
00:38:40,575 --> 00:38:42,940
just like I'm doing it now,
man, more years than I know.
686
00:38:43,076 --> 00:38:44,517
Colonel Parker,
we called you in here
687
00:38:44,583 --> 00:38:46,243
to talk about this act of yours.
688
00:38:46,379 --> 00:38:47,993
A petition has begun circulating
689
00:38:48,017 --> 00:38:50,454
to bar Elvis Presley
from television.
690
00:38:50,590 --> 00:38:52,150
We've set up a committee
691
00:38:52,285 --> 00:38:54,823
to keep an eye on this vulgar,
animalistic rock and roll bum.
692
00:38:54,959 --> 00:38:56,765
Your style
of gyrating while you sing
693
00:38:56,789 --> 00:38:58,086
has been bitterly criticized...
694
00:38:58,222 --> 00:38:59,928
I don't feel I'm doing
anything wrong.
695
00:39:00,063 --> 00:39:02,063
We simply will not
advertise on any station
696
00:39:02,128 --> 00:39:03,764
that puts this delinquent
on television.
697
00:39:03,900 --> 00:39:06,595
Colonel, you put an end
to your boy's animal behavior,
698
00:39:06,730 --> 00:39:08,596
or we will.
699
00:39:08,732 --> 00:39:11,272
Don't worry, senator,
my boy does what he's told.
700
00:39:11,407 --> 00:39:13,966
Tell me, dear
701
00:39:14,102 --> 00:39:19,613
are you lonesome tonight?
702
00:39:23,779 --> 00:39:25,752
"Elvis the pelvis."
703
00:39:25,888 --> 00:39:28,814
That's one of the most childish
expressions I've ever heard
704
00:39:28,949 --> 00:39:30,952
coming from an adult.
705
00:39:31,087 --> 00:39:33,020
Is Mr. Allen gonna cancel me
from the show?
706
00:39:33,763 --> 00:39:34,993
Yes.
707
00:39:35,128 --> 00:39:37,193
Yes, he is.
708
00:39:37,328 --> 00:39:41,335
He is replacing you with one of
the country's greatest singers.
709
00:39:42,761 --> 00:39:44,166
Mario lanza?
710
00:39:44,301 --> 00:39:45,532
Someone greater.
711
00:39:45,667 --> 00:39:48,473
The new Elvis Presley!
712
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,609
Yeah, I snowed 'em!
713
00:39:52,745 --> 00:39:55,277
You just have to put on
one of these tails here,
714
00:39:55,413 --> 00:39:56,877
can sing the "hound dog,"
715
00:39:57,012 --> 00:40:00,150
and it's a light-hearted,
sophisticated family show.
716
00:40:00,286 --> 00:40:01,513
I can't move in one of these.
717
00:40:01,648 --> 00:40:02,648
And that is the point.
718
00:40:02,717 --> 00:40:04,750
Mr. Allen agreed only as long
719
00:40:04,885 --> 00:40:07,218
as there is no wiggling
of those hips.
720
00:40:07,354 --> 00:40:09,675
I can't figure it out. My own
mother approves of what I do.
721
00:40:09,795 --> 00:40:11,393
Mmm.
722
00:40:11,528 --> 00:40:14,227
You have read the papers,
my boy?
723
00:40:14,363 --> 00:40:16,027
Yeah, I read the papers.
724
00:40:16,163 --> 00:40:18,500
The papers say that I shot
my mother and smoke marijuana.
725
00:40:18,635 --> 00:40:21,569
Your movement's
in the style of a black man,
726
00:40:21,704 --> 00:40:24,033
and you have broken
the segregation laws.
727
00:40:24,169 --> 00:40:26,166
So let's follow the plan.
It's a good plan.
728
00:40:26,301 --> 00:40:28,333
You do the Allen show,
family style,
729
00:40:28,469 --> 00:40:30,910
and then tomorrow
we go back to Memphis and
730
00:40:31,045 --> 00:40:34,714
we snow them on the July 4th
children's charitable concert.
731
00:40:34,849 --> 00:40:37,944
And we put this whole
unfortunate misstep behind us.
732
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,452
Now, do you want
to go into politics?
733
00:40:40,588 --> 00:40:43,456
Or shall we stay
in show business?
734
00:40:46,191 --> 00:40:47,770
We want to do
a show the whole family
735
00:40:47,794 --> 00:40:49,687
can watch and enjoy,
and we always do.
736
00:40:49,822 --> 00:40:51,174
And at this time, it gives me
extreme pleasure to introduce
737
00:40:51,198 --> 00:40:52,897
the new Elvis Presley!
738
00:40:57,197 --> 00:40:58,598
He used to be so hip.
739
00:40:58,703 --> 00:41:00,431
He looked so silly.
740
00:41:00,567 --> 00:41:02,433
I mean, he looked like a Butler.
741
00:41:02,569 --> 00:41:03,914
I can't believe
he agreed to sing to a dog.
742
00:41:03,938 --> 00:41:05,379
God damn it!
743
00:41:07,546 --> 00:41:08,909
He could've given us
some warning.
744
00:41:09,045 --> 00:41:10,892
I know how to do a skit,
I could've made it funny!
745
00:41:10,916 --> 00:41:14,408
The most stupid, embarrassing,
humiliating thing I ever did.
746
00:41:14,544 --> 00:41:16,161
Well, what the hell
do you want me to do about it?
747
00:41:16,185 --> 00:41:17,453
We're musicians!
748
00:41:17,589 --> 00:41:19,028
It's just embarrassing.
749
00:41:19,052 --> 00:41:20,324
Who does he think he is?
750
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,498
She just went on
and on about the damn dog.
751
00:41:41,633 --> 00:41:43,801
And I said, "neighbors
shouldn't speak like that."
752
00:41:43,937 --> 00:41:45,409
And then she said...
753
00:41:45,544 --> 00:41:47,308
I like the bit with the dog.
754
00:41:47,443 --> 00:41:49,724
It was the most embarrassing
performance of my life, daddy.
755
00:41:49,748 --> 00:41:51,812
She wasn't the only one
who said it.
756
00:41:51,947 --> 00:41:53,616
- All the neighbors did.
- Oh, god.
757
00:41:53,752 --> 00:41:55,254
Those New York people
were using you
758
00:41:55,389 --> 00:41:56,953
to poke fun at the whole south.
759
00:41:57,089 --> 00:42:00,723
Getting a laugh out of putting
a hillbilly in a tailcoat
760
00:42:00,858 --> 00:42:03,189
and singing to a dog.
761
00:42:03,325 --> 00:42:05,955
God damn it, mama, it was
either that or I get canceled.
762
00:42:06,091 --> 00:42:07,996
Then that's it for television.
763
00:42:08,131 --> 00:42:10,765
Colonel says I'm running out
of states that I'm welcome in.
764
00:42:10,900 --> 00:42:13,429
And they don't pay
unless I can perform.
765
00:42:13,565 --> 00:42:16,104
So colonel says I play the
charity concert tomorrow night,
766
00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:18,598
as the new family style,
767
00:42:18,733 --> 00:42:21,470
then everybody calms down
and we get back on track.
768
00:42:21,605 --> 00:42:24,244
Someone's got to think about
keeping a roof over our heads.
769
00:42:24,380 --> 00:42:26,078
Roof over our head?
770
00:42:26,213 --> 00:42:28,848
We've always managed to keep
a roof over our head, Vernon.
771
00:42:28,984 --> 00:42:30,785
Mama, daddy is business
manager. It's his job.
772
00:42:30,814 --> 00:42:32,346
That's right.
773
00:42:32,481 --> 00:42:34,651
We was doing just fine
before that man came along.
774
00:42:34,786 --> 00:42:36,148
Colonel has got us all of this.
775
00:42:36,284 --> 00:42:38,720
I don't want all this!
You're unhappy!
776
00:42:38,856 --> 00:42:40,627
I am not!
777
00:42:41,859 --> 00:42:43,722
You're losing yourself, booby!
778
00:42:43,858 --> 00:42:45,525
Oh, hell, mama, I...
779
00:42:45,661 --> 00:42:47,030
Satnin knows.
780
00:42:54,972 --> 00:42:57,668
The way you sing and move...
781
00:42:57,803 --> 00:42:59,435
It's god-given.
782
00:43:00,812 --> 00:43:03,037
So there can't be nothing
wrong with it.
783
00:43:05,718 --> 00:43:07,644
Hey, I'm gonna ask cousin
about the movie.
784
00:43:07,779 --> 00:43:09,145
Hey, e.P., e.P.!
785
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:10,585
Can we close down
the movie house
786
00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:11,982
and watch Godzilla tonight?
787
00:43:12,118 --> 00:43:14,416
Don't tramp mud
in the house, Billy!
788
00:43:14,551 --> 00:43:15,933
But you said
we could watch the movie!
789
00:43:15,957 --> 00:43:17,653
Get out! Get out of my
goddamn house!
790
00:43:17,788 --> 00:43:19,340
- You said you'd take us!
- Tramping mud in my house
791
00:43:19,364 --> 00:43:20,656
and doing my damn head in.
792
00:43:22,157 --> 00:43:24,062
Mama, you ain't never happy.
793
00:43:24,198 --> 00:43:26,729
No matter what I do,
no matter how much I give you,
794
00:43:26,864 --> 00:43:28,296
it ain't never enough.
795
00:43:28,432 --> 00:43:30,864
And, I wish you would not drink
so goddamn much.
796
00:43:30,999 --> 00:43:32,467
It's not good for you.
797
00:43:32,602 --> 00:43:33,971
Baby!
798
00:43:34,106 --> 00:43:35,787
- Put that back in the shed!
- Elvis, wait!
799
00:43:39,306 --> 00:43:43,045
Elvis! Elvis, come on!
Elvis!
800
00:43:46,018 --> 00:43:47,419
Here's Elvis Presley.
801
00:44:04,631 --> 00:44:07,100
This is
Rufus Thomas here from wdia.
802
00:44:07,235 --> 00:44:09,868
You can catch b.B. King tonight
at club handy,
803
00:44:10,003 --> 00:44:11,741
with sister rosetta tharpe.
804
00:44:41,798 --> 00:44:43,099
Hello.
805
00:44:46,868 --> 00:44:48,609
E.P.!
806
00:44:50,602 --> 00:44:52,613
- B.b.! Hey!
- Get over here!
807
00:44:56,382 --> 00:44:57,617
Have a good night.
808
00:45:05,591 --> 00:45:07,153
Thank you. Have a good night.
809
00:45:12,064 --> 00:45:13,064
Hello.
810
00:45:19,995 --> 00:45:20,995
Hey!
811
00:45:27,878 --> 00:45:31,977
Get him! Get him in here!
E.P.! E.P.!
812
00:45:34,212 --> 00:45:36,685
All right, all right.
Thank you.
813
00:45:36,820 --> 00:45:39,149
Wop, bop-a-loo-bop
ba-lop, bom, bom
814
00:45:39,285 --> 00:45:43,956
tutti frutti, oh rooty
tutti frutti, oh rooty
815
00:45:44,092 --> 00:45:46,353
Got my mama going on
about the "hound dog,"
816
00:45:46,488 --> 00:45:47,938
and the colonel's
got me wearing tails,
817
00:45:47,962 --> 00:45:48,624
and everybody wants
something different.
818
00:45:48,758 --> 00:45:50,024
Hey, listen, man.
819
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:51,332
If you're sad
and you want to be sad,
820
00:45:51,356 --> 00:45:52,865
you're at the right place.
821
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,775
If you're happy and you want
to be happy, guess what?
822
00:45:54,799 --> 00:45:56,301
You're at the right place.
823
00:45:56,437 --> 00:45:58,665
So just do me a favor...
824
00:45:58,801 --> 00:45:59,832
Let it all hang out.
825
00:45:59,968 --> 00:46:02,102
Let it all hang out, e.P.!
826
00:46:02,238 --> 00:46:06,043
Let it all hang out, baby.
827
00:46:06,178 --> 00:46:08,603
She rocks to the east
she rocks to the west
828
00:46:08,738 --> 00:46:10,877
but she's the girl that
I love best
829
00:46:11,012 --> 00:46:13,150
tutti frutti, oh rooty, uh!
830
00:46:13,285 --> 00:46:14,475
Hey, man.
831
00:46:14,611 --> 00:46:16,017
Tutti frutti, oh rooty, whoo!
832
00:46:16,153 --> 00:46:20,514
Tutti frutti, oh rooty
tutti frutti, oh rooty
833
00:46:20,650 --> 00:46:22,721
Tutti frutti, oh rooty
834
00:46:23,825 --> 00:46:25,359
Wop, bop-a-loo-bop...
835
00:46:26,629 --> 00:46:28,962
Whoo! Man, he's cuttin' it!
836
00:46:31,334 --> 00:46:34,561
Sister rosetta found this kid
in the backwaters of Georgia.
837
00:46:44,641 --> 00:46:46,802
They should get the colonel
to book him on Steve Allen.
838
00:46:51,014 --> 00:46:53,017
They would love his moves.
839
00:46:55,654 --> 00:46:58,182
Got a girl named Daisy
840
00:46:58,318 --> 00:47:00,392
she almost drives me crazy
841
00:47:00,527 --> 00:47:02,160
got a girl named Daisy
842
00:47:02,295 --> 00:47:03,295
whoo!
843
00:47:03,355 --> 00:47:05,720
She almost drives me crazy
844
00:47:05,856 --> 00:47:07,998
she knows how to love me
yes, indeed
845
00:47:08,133 --> 00:47:10,401
boy, you don't know
what she do to me
846
00:47:10,536 --> 00:47:12,528
tutti frutti, oh rooty
847
00:47:12,663 --> 00:47:15,032
man, he sings the hell
out of that song!
848
00:47:15,167 --> 00:47:16,763
I would love to record that.
849
00:47:16,899 --> 00:47:19,071
If you do, you'll make
a whole lot more money
850
00:47:19,207 --> 00:47:20,740
than that kid
could ever dream of.
851
00:47:20,875 --> 00:47:23,274
Tutti frutti, oh rooty
852
00:47:23,410 --> 00:47:25,548
wop, bop-a-loo-bop,
ba-lop, bom, bom
853
00:47:38,854 --> 00:47:42,554
I'm a-workin' on the building
854
00:47:42,690 --> 00:47:46,325
Workin' on the building
855
00:47:46,461 --> 00:47:49,460
It's the new foundation
856
00:47:49,596 --> 00:47:52,836
The new foundation
857
00:47:52,972 --> 00:47:55,274
I'm goin' to heaven
858
00:47:55,409 --> 00:47:56,409
Yeah!
859
00:47:56,435 --> 00:47:57,602
Goin' to heaven
860
00:47:58,710 --> 00:48:01,039
to get my reward
861
00:48:01,175 --> 00:48:04,876
Get my reward
862
00:48:05,012 --> 00:48:06,218
Whoo!
863
00:48:07,687 --> 00:48:10,546
Ha-ha! That's all right.
864
00:48:10,682 --> 00:48:13,319
That's a nice ride
you rode up in tonight.
865
00:48:13,454 --> 00:48:16,051
It ain't like your ol'
big b.B. King bus.
866
00:48:17,658 --> 00:48:19,930
Big red.
867
00:48:20,065 --> 00:48:23,362
Yeah, well, I can go where
I want, play what I want,
868
00:48:23,497 --> 00:48:25,594
and if they don't like it,
I can go someplace else.
869
00:48:26,803 --> 00:48:28,694
You've got to be
in control, man.
870
00:48:28,829 --> 00:48:30,764
You should have your own label,
like me.
871
00:48:30,899 --> 00:48:33,402
You don't do the business,
the business will do you.
872
00:48:33,538 --> 00:48:35,767
Man, I just leave all that
to the colonel.
873
00:48:37,909 --> 00:48:40,075
So it's, um...
874
00:48:40,211 --> 00:48:42,279
It's his idea, this new Elvis?
875
00:48:43,378 --> 00:48:44,942
Listen, I don't get it, man.
876
00:48:45,077 --> 00:48:47,517
Cats buy your records
because they like what you do,
877
00:48:47,653 --> 00:48:51,355
not because you're dressed up
like some... like some Butler.
878
00:48:51,491 --> 00:48:53,826
You really think those kids
want to see Elvis the Butler
879
00:48:53,961 --> 00:48:55,282
at the russwood park
gig tomorrow?
880
00:48:55,323 --> 00:48:56,819
Man, I ain't wearing no tails.
881
00:48:56,954 --> 00:49:00,726
I just... Gotta lay
off the moves, is all.
882
00:49:00,862 --> 00:49:03,332
Colonel says if I don't,
they're gonna put me in jail.
883
00:49:07,298 --> 00:49:09,169
Come on, man.
884
00:49:09,305 --> 00:49:10,867
They're not gonna
put you in jail.
885
00:49:11,003 --> 00:49:12,611
They might put me in jail
for walking across the street,
886
00:49:12,635 --> 00:49:14,143
but you're a famous white boy.
887
00:49:14,278 --> 00:49:16,479
Too many people are making
too much money off of you
888
00:49:16,615 --> 00:49:18,139
to put you in jail.
889
00:49:18,275 --> 00:49:19,041
You think so?
890
00:49:19,176 --> 00:49:21,349
I know so.
891
00:49:21,485 --> 00:49:26,550
Colonel's a smart man.
There's gotta be another reason.
892
00:49:29,527 --> 00:49:32,424
Every day, yes
893
00:49:32,559 --> 00:49:36,490
there are strange things
happening every day
894
00:49:36,626 --> 00:49:39,330
hey, Elvis, b.B.!
Give us a smile.
895
00:49:42,164 --> 00:49:44,204
Every day
896
00:49:44,340 --> 00:49:46,700
You promised us
a new Elvis, colonel.
897
00:49:46,836 --> 00:49:50,736
Yet, here he is with this
b.B. King at club handy,
898
00:49:50,871 --> 00:49:53,903
jiggling and wiggling
with Billy ward, and here,
899
00:49:54,039 --> 00:49:57,247
on colored night
at the Memphis fairgrounds.
900
00:49:57,382 --> 00:49:58,947
We've been poking
into your background,
901
00:49:59,083 --> 00:50:00,618
and we've found your records.
902
00:50:00,754 --> 00:50:02,918
"Unfit for military duty."
903
00:50:03,053 --> 00:50:05,519
"Acute psychopathic state."
904
00:50:05,654 --> 00:50:10,357
Well... I was pretending
to be crazy. I wanted out.
905
00:50:10,493 --> 00:50:12,889
I was just a boy
from hunting ton, West Virginia.
906
00:50:13,024 --> 00:50:16,228
Well, before the army, we found
no record of you at all.
907
00:50:16,364 --> 00:50:19,598
Every day, yeah
908
00:50:19,733 --> 00:50:24,799
there are strange things
happening every day
909
00:50:26,373 --> 00:50:29,440
every day are so strange
910
00:50:29,576 --> 00:50:32,312
every day
people are stealing the planes
911
00:50:32,447 --> 00:50:35,746
oh! There are strange
things happening
912
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:40,216
every day oh, ain't
that strange, every day
913
00:50:42,155 --> 00:50:45,126
Every day, yes
914
00:50:45,261 --> 00:50:49,788
there are strange things
happening every day
915
00:50:51,729 --> 00:50:54,596
While 10,000 screaming
fans were cramming in
916
00:50:54,731 --> 00:50:57,102
to see our show,
senator east land was holding
917
00:50:57,238 --> 00:51:00,303
a segregationist rally
just three miles away.
918
00:51:03,574 --> 00:51:06,172
The mayor loved you
on the Steve Allen show.
919
00:51:06,308 --> 00:51:08,881
All the important people did.
920
00:51:09,016 --> 00:51:11,082
What song are you going
to sing tonight?
921
00:51:11,949 --> 00:51:13,644
I've made no decision.
922
00:51:16,281 --> 00:51:17,714
I'll feel it.
923
00:51:24,624 --> 00:51:26,074
Pay no mind to all the cameras.
924
00:51:26,098 --> 00:51:28,856
Those are our friends
in the vice squad.
925
00:51:28,991 --> 00:51:32,024
They don't mean nothing.
Ain't that right, chief?
926
00:51:32,159 --> 00:51:34,630
As long as you don't
so much as wiggle a finger.
927
00:51:50,217 --> 00:51:52,019
Oh, yes, sir, good people!
928
00:51:52,154 --> 00:51:55,383
A big thank you
to shorty Morgan's Dixie dolls!
929
00:51:55,518 --> 00:51:57,550
But I know some of
the young people
930
00:51:57,686 --> 00:52:00,285
are very excited
about this next act!
931
00:52:02,523 --> 00:52:04,620
Jesse's with us tonight, baby.
932
00:52:04,756 --> 00:52:08,194
Play it smart out there, yeah?
933
00:52:08,330 --> 00:52:11,593
Well, stop talking about it
we're talking about everything
934
00:52:11,729 --> 00:52:13,669
and do somethin' about it
935
00:52:13,805 --> 00:52:15,535
Elvis Presley!
936
00:52:15,670 --> 00:52:19,043
Strange things happening
every day
937
00:52:21,477 --> 00:52:23,975
just sing the nice song.
Smile the nice smile.
938
00:52:24,110 --> 00:52:25,478
No wiggling.
939
00:52:25,613 --> 00:52:27,507
Then we can get back
to our show business.
940
00:52:27,643 --> 00:52:29,910
And have fun, my boy! Fun!
941
00:52:33,191 --> 00:52:35,491
Oh, we want peace!
942
00:52:35,627 --> 00:52:37,592
We want peace!
943
00:52:37,728 --> 00:52:39,998
We ought a stop talkin' about
it and do somethin' about it
944
00:52:40,022 --> 00:52:44,664
oh, there are strange
things happening
945
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:50,731
every day
946
00:53:09,323 --> 00:53:11,457
There's been a lot of talk
about the new Elvis.
947
00:53:19,361 --> 00:53:21,429
And of course, that other guy.
948
00:53:25,636 --> 00:53:28,269
You ain't
nothin' but a hound dog
949
00:53:28,404 --> 00:53:29,898
Cryin' all the time
950
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,071
...At his
command, both civil and other,
951
00:53:35,206 --> 00:53:39,078
to maintain public order,
and prevent crime and riots.
952
00:53:39,214 --> 00:53:40,875
He can use those forces...
953
00:53:41,010 --> 00:53:44,552
To prevent the racial
integration of schools,
954
00:53:44,687 --> 00:53:48,618
if this is necessary, under the
police powers of that state...
955
00:53:48,753 --> 00:53:51,224
There's a lot of people
saying a lot of things.
956
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:52,953
In fact, it is his duty...
957
00:53:53,089 --> 00:53:55,389
Of course you gotta listen
to the people that you love.
958
00:53:55,524 --> 00:53:58,429
...And prevent
turmoil and strife within the state.
959
00:54:00,433 --> 00:54:02,227
But in the end,
you gotta listen to yourself.
960
00:54:04,537 --> 00:54:06,498
So I want you to know,
those New York people
961
00:54:06,633 --> 00:54:08,234
ain't gonna change me none.
962
00:54:10,201 --> 00:54:11,903
The subversives who own...
963
00:54:12,039 --> 00:54:15,777
control and dominate
the entertainment industry...
964
00:54:15,912 --> 00:54:17,523
- "Trouble."
- Are determined...
965
00:54:17,547 --> 00:54:19,877
to spread africanized culture...
966
00:54:20,012 --> 00:54:24,221
I'm gonna show you what
the real Elvis is like tonight!
967
00:54:24,356 --> 00:54:26,218
Influencing your children...
968
00:54:26,353 --> 00:54:27,624
To accept the negroes.
969
00:54:29,184 --> 00:54:30,057
If you're looking for trouble
970
00:54:30,193 --> 00:54:31,521
- no.
- What's going on?
971
00:54:31,656 --> 00:54:33,086
You came to the right place
972
00:54:34,629 --> 00:54:36,364
if you're looking for trouble
973
00:54:37,969 --> 00:54:39,168
just look right in my face
974
00:54:40,970 --> 00:54:42,600
I was born standing up
975
00:54:44,237 --> 00:54:46,340
and talking back
976
00:54:46,475 --> 00:54:52,405
my daddy was a green-eyed
mountain Jack
977
00:54:52,541 --> 00:54:56,740
because I'm evil
978
00:54:56,875 --> 00:55:00,814
my middle name is misery
979
00:55:04,957 --> 00:55:08,018
well, I'm evil
980
00:55:09,659 --> 00:55:13,166
so don't you mess around with me
981
00:55:19,669 --> 00:55:20,830
I've never looked for trouble
982
00:55:22,776 --> 00:55:24,307
But I never ran
983
00:55:26,010 --> 00:55:27,475
I don't take no orders
984
00:55:28,915 --> 00:55:30,214
from no kind of man
985
00:55:32,411 --> 00:55:33,579
I'm only made out
986
00:55:35,481 --> 00:55:36,746
of flesh, blood and bone
987
00:55:36,882 --> 00:55:40,417
but if you're gonna
start a rumble
988
00:55:40,553 --> 00:55:43,681
don't you try it on alone
989
00:55:43,817 --> 00:55:47,053
because I'm evil
990
00:55:48,130 --> 00:55:51,357
my middle name is misery
991
00:55:55,132 --> 00:55:56,164
Elvis!
992
00:55:56,300 --> 00:56:00,735
Well, I'm evil
993
00:56:00,870 --> 00:56:03,475
so don't you mess around with me
994
00:56:07,413 --> 00:56:10,007
I'm evil, evil evil as can be
995
00:56:11,351 --> 00:56:13,950
I'm evil evil, evil as can be
996
00:56:15,187 --> 00:56:16,416
So don't mess around
997
00:56:16,552 --> 00:56:18,455
don't mess around with me
998
00:56:19,352 --> 00:56:20,923
I'm evil
999
00:56:21,992 --> 00:56:23,151
I'm evil
1000
00:56:24,295 --> 00:56:27,860
Evil, evil
1001
00:56:27,996 --> 00:56:31,701
uh, now would be a good time
to get back into the car.
1002
00:56:31,836 --> 00:56:33,933
I'm evil
1003
00:56:34,069 --> 00:56:35,305
evil
1004
00:56:35,939 --> 00:56:37,768
evil
1005
00:56:40,768 --> 00:56:43,906
Our friends at rca are not gonna
be happy when they see this.
1006
00:56:59,251 --> 00:57:01,295
He didn't listen to me.
1007
00:57:02,692 --> 00:57:04,097
Why?
1008
00:57:04,232 --> 00:57:07,394
Why didn't he listen to me?
1009
00:57:07,530 --> 00:57:09,929
I'm evil
1010
00:57:11,765 --> 00:57:13,471
get my boy off that stage!
1011
00:57:14,798 --> 00:57:15,839
With me
1012
00:57:19,610 --> 00:57:22,605
Get your hands
off him. Hey!
1013
00:57:22,740 --> 00:57:24,744
Hey, Elvis!
1014
00:57:39,063 --> 00:57:41,092
Elvis!
1015
00:57:41,227 --> 00:57:43,755
Go look after the merchandise.
Look after the merchandise!
1016
00:57:46,333 --> 00:57:47,599
Elvis, come on!
1017
00:57:47,734 --> 00:57:49,295
Get off of me!
Mama, you get in the car!
1018
00:57:49,334 --> 00:57:51,003
Get in the car!
1019
00:58:00,381 --> 00:58:02,107
You're gonna get us in trouble.
1020
00:58:03,282 --> 00:58:04,844
He's all right, come on.
1021
00:58:04,980 --> 00:58:06,984
- Elvis!
- Scotty, come on.
1022
00:58:07,119 --> 00:58:08,146
Let's go.
1023
00:58:21,424 --> 00:58:24,861
My dear boy had chosen.
1024
00:58:24,996 --> 00:58:29,804
You, his audience, his fans.
1025
00:58:29,940 --> 00:58:34,376
He had no idea what
he had done to both of us.
1026
00:58:34,512 --> 00:58:36,040
We warned you, colonel.
1027
00:58:36,176 --> 00:58:37,804
You've lost control
of this act of yours.
1028
00:58:37,940 --> 00:58:39,716
And he's dividing this nation.
1029
00:58:39,851 --> 00:58:44,145
There are a lot of people
who want to see him in jail.
1030
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:46,389
I had to find a way out.
1031
00:58:47,519 --> 00:58:49,391
A way to save him.
1032
00:58:53,053 --> 00:58:57,497
Crawfish
1033
00:58:59,198 --> 00:59:02,502
crawfish
1034
00:59:05,334 --> 00:59:09,999
no. There's no way my baby's
going to Germany for two years.
1035
00:59:10,135 --> 00:59:13,941
It is either the army or jail.
1036
00:59:15,082 --> 00:59:17,009
There is something else.
1037
00:59:17,144 --> 00:59:20,848
Vernon, they are poking
into your background.
1038
00:59:20,983 --> 00:59:22,582
We don't have nothin'
to be ashamed of!
1039
00:59:22,717 --> 00:59:24,346
Now, my daddy is a good man.
1040
00:59:24,481 --> 00:59:27,589
Yes, yes.
But your papa did go to jail.
1041
00:59:27,725 --> 00:59:30,694
You know them,
and their flashy headlines.
1042
00:59:30,829 --> 00:59:34,756
"Elvis, the draft dodger."
"A family of delinquents."
1043
00:59:34,891 --> 00:59:37,990
There was no moon
1044
00:59:38,126 --> 00:59:41,828
We may never book another
date, or sell another record again.
1045
00:59:41,964 --> 00:59:43,562
And my way of thinking,
1046
00:59:43,698 --> 00:59:46,041
the army could be a
brand new start for all of us.
1047
00:59:46,177 --> 00:59:47,942
Let them cut your hair.
1048
00:59:48,077 --> 00:59:51,209
Prove to the world that you are
a clean-cut, all-American boy.
1049
00:59:51,344 --> 00:59:54,273
You do your two years, and when
you come back, I promise you
1050
00:59:54,408 --> 00:59:55,913
I will have done
everything I can
1051
00:59:56,048 --> 00:59:58,748
to make you the biggest
actor in Hollywood.
1052
00:59:58,883 --> 01:00:00,521
You will choose
your own pictures.
1053
01:00:02,557 --> 01:00:04,078
It's gonna be okay, mama.
1054
01:00:04,154 --> 01:00:08,523
And I pulled Mr. Crawfish
out of his hole
1055
01:00:08,658 --> 01:00:10,500
Young Mr. Presley,
a rock and roller no more.
1056
01:00:10,524 --> 01:00:13,759
He'll do six months'
basic training at fort Chaffee
1057
01:00:13,894 --> 01:00:15,828
before shipping off to Germany.
1058
01:00:17,737 --> 01:00:19,327
Since the day he was born,
1059
01:00:19,462 --> 01:00:22,067
she had feared
losing her second son.
1060
01:00:25,645 --> 01:00:27,809
While he was
in basic training...
1061
01:00:28,874 --> 01:00:31,207
She worried and drank...
1062
01:00:32,711 --> 01:00:34,144
Worried...
1063
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:36,782
And drank.
1064
01:00:44,887 --> 01:00:46,190
Hey...
1065
01:00:46,326 --> 01:00:47,529
Alberta!
1066
01:01:11,285 --> 01:01:13,577
Oh, no...
1067
01:01:13,713 --> 01:01:15,180
No!
1068
01:01:19,025 --> 01:01:23,652
There are some fine folks
from the press waiting outside.
1069
01:01:23,788 --> 01:01:28,629
A few questions, pictures,
and they will leave us alone.
1070
01:01:28,764 --> 01:01:31,635
I can't get him to do anything.
1071
01:01:33,132 --> 01:01:35,869
He trusted her like nobody else,
1072
01:01:36,005 --> 01:01:39,609
and now she's gone
and who does he have now?
1073
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:42,640
Well...
1074
01:01:44,108 --> 01:01:45,872
He trusts you.
1075
01:01:46,008 --> 01:01:48,012
Can you talk to him?
1076
01:01:49,151 --> 01:01:50,982
Oh, no.
1077
01:01:52,145 --> 01:01:54,011
It's not my place...
1078
01:01:54,147 --> 01:01:55,849
Can you do it, colonel?
1079
01:01:55,984 --> 01:01:57,823
We need your help now.
1080
01:02:08,264 --> 01:02:10,862
Your daddy is doing
the best he knows how,
1081
01:02:10,997 --> 01:02:14,031
but he is overwhelmed.
1082
01:02:14,167 --> 01:02:16,338
He needs your help out there.
1083
01:02:16,473 --> 01:02:20,168
I can't go out there.
I just wanna stay here forever.
1084
01:02:20,304 --> 01:02:22,414
Oh, my boy.
1085
01:02:22,549 --> 01:02:25,612
No one could never replace her.
1086
01:02:25,747 --> 01:02:27,851
But you listen to me.
1087
01:02:27,986 --> 01:02:31,050
From this moment on,
anything she would have done...
1088
01:02:32,084 --> 01:02:35,021
I will carry out, in her name.
1089
01:02:35,157 --> 01:02:40,386
When you are overseas,
I will stay here at home.
1090
01:02:40,522 --> 01:02:43,864
And I will work,
and I will worry.
1091
01:02:45,895 --> 01:02:47,526
Trust me.
1092
01:02:49,839 --> 01:02:53,932
Now, you go and you stand
by your papa.
1093
01:02:54,067 --> 01:02:55,303
You comfort him.
1094
01:02:56,212 --> 01:02:58,105
You comfort him.
1095
01:02:58,241 --> 01:03:00,312
Comfort your friends
and your family,
1096
01:03:00,448 --> 01:03:02,482
and even your fans. Hmm?
1097
01:03:02,617 --> 01:03:05,950
Because if you don't do that...
1098
01:03:06,084 --> 01:03:08,913
All that your mama
has sacrificed for you
1099
01:03:09,049 --> 01:03:10,789
will be for nothing.
1100
01:03:14,892 --> 01:03:16,256
No matter what happens,
1101
01:03:16,391 --> 01:03:18,926
you stay with me
through thick and thin, okay?
1102
01:03:19,062 --> 01:03:22,230
You're like a...
Like a father to me.
1103
01:03:57,328 --> 01:04:00,196
I needed to protect him.
1104
01:04:03,471 --> 01:04:05,332
Even from himself.
1105
01:04:10,703 --> 01:04:14,676
My plan, Elvis Presley
would return
1106
01:04:14,812 --> 01:04:19,081
a clean-cut, all-American boy.
1107
01:04:20,582 --> 01:04:21,654
But...
1108
01:04:24,150 --> 01:04:25,449
I did not consider
1109
01:04:25,584 --> 01:04:27,990
the most dangerous thing of all.
1110
01:04:30,526 --> 01:04:32,456
Love.
1111
01:04:42,503 --> 01:04:44,939
Priscilla,
the pretty teenage daughter
1112
01:04:45,075 --> 01:04:48,469
of a United States
air force officer.
1113
01:04:50,943 --> 01:04:52,873
And then he said to me...
1114
01:04:54,610 --> 01:04:56,157
"You know what, Priscilla?
1115
01:04:56,181 --> 01:04:57,875
You gotta listen to me, sweetie,
1116
01:04:58,011 --> 01:05:00,480
because this guy, he's got
girls all over the world, okay?
1117
01:05:00,615 --> 01:05:02,263
He's got girls waiting
outside of his house
1118
01:05:02,287 --> 01:05:04,082
and girls writing him
endless fan mail."
1119
01:05:04,217 --> 01:05:06,531
And then
mommy decides to pitch in and go,
1120
01:05:06,555 --> 01:05:08,728
"ooh, what could he possibly
see in you, okay?
1121
01:05:08,864 --> 01:05:10,626
What do you two do
up there all night?"
1122
01:05:10,761 --> 01:05:12,128
And...
1123
01:05:14,097 --> 01:05:16,792
And I just said, "mom, dad...
1124
01:05:16,928 --> 01:05:20,138
We talk and we listen
to music, okay? That's all."
1125
01:05:20,273 --> 01:05:22,567
And then they were going on
and on about that photo of you
1126
01:05:22,703 --> 01:05:25,170
and Natalie wood riding around
on that bike in Memphis,
1127
01:05:25,305 --> 01:05:27,671
and...
And then what I said...
1128
01:05:27,806 --> 01:05:31,047
And I said this really calmly,
I said, "listen, okay?
1129
01:05:31,182 --> 01:05:35,379
He's just really lonely.
And quite frankly, so am I."
1130
01:05:37,519 --> 01:05:40,020
And then they didn't really
know what to say after that,
1131
01:05:40,155 --> 01:05:43,491
so I went upstairs
and I went to bed.
1132
01:05:43,627 --> 01:05:46,053
Never met anyone like you.
1133
01:05:46,188 --> 01:05:47,357
Well, I hope not.
1134
01:05:49,735 --> 01:05:52,735
So... what
is Natalie wood like?
1135
01:05:54,031 --> 01:05:55,528
She's nice, you know.
1136
01:05:55,663 --> 01:05:57,265
She's been writing me
about acting.
1137
01:05:57,401 --> 01:05:59,573
I've been asking her
stories about...
1138
01:05:59,709 --> 01:06:01,768
Working with James Dean and...
1139
01:06:01,904 --> 01:06:04,104
God, I just hope to one day
be as good as him, you know?
1140
01:06:04,180 --> 01:06:05,180
Mmm.
1141
01:06:10,711 --> 01:06:12,515
Colonel's promised me
that when I get back
1142
01:06:12,650 --> 01:06:15,019
he's gonna set me up in
Hollywood to be a serious actor.
1143
01:06:18,187 --> 01:06:21,619
That's really what I dream of.
1144
01:06:21,754 --> 01:06:24,959
Hey, e.P., e.P.,
now, you promised the captain
1145
01:06:25,095 --> 01:06:27,556
that you'd get her home
by 7:00.
1146
01:06:27,692 --> 01:06:29,498
Hey, Charlie.
What's that behind you?
1147
01:06:29,633 --> 01:06:31,132
What? No...
1148
01:06:32,362 --> 01:06:34,168
He don't boss me around.
1149
01:06:49,086 --> 01:06:51,480
You know, I think
if you dream it, you'll do it.
1150
01:06:53,015 --> 01:06:54,120
You do?
1151
01:06:55,556 --> 01:06:58,093
Yeah.
1152
01:06:59,957 --> 01:07:04,096
Shall I stay?
1153
01:07:05,898 --> 01:07:11,267
Would it be a sin
1154
01:07:13,772 --> 01:07:19,435
if I can't help
1155
01:07:19,571 --> 01:07:25,851
falling in love with you?
1156
01:07:30,313 --> 01:07:32,125
You no longer
want to sing in your films,
1157
01:07:32,149 --> 01:07:34,224
is that right? You want
to be a dramatic actor.
1158
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,356
Well, sir, that's
my big ambition now.
1159
01:07:36,491 --> 01:07:39,522
It takes a lot of time,
a lot of experience.
1160
01:07:39,657 --> 01:07:43,529
He was as good as Brando.
1161
01:07:43,665 --> 01:07:47,871
But you didn't want to see him
in movies where he didn't sing.
1162
01:07:48,006 --> 01:07:49,617
A little less conversation
1163
01:07:49,641 --> 01:07:52,174
a little more action
1164
01:07:52,309 --> 01:07:56,311
all this aggravation
ain't satisfactioning me
1165
01:07:56,446 --> 01:08:02,510
Thanks to me, his life
became one big Hollywood movie!
1166
01:08:03,686 --> 01:08:05,317
Starring Priscilla...
1167
01:08:05,453 --> 01:08:07,555
Bright light city
gonna set my soul
1168
01:08:07,691 --> 01:08:10,091
gonna set my soul on fire
1169
01:08:10,227 --> 01:08:13,526
And a cast
of his "buddies" and "cousins."
1170
01:08:13,661 --> 01:08:15,521
His Memphis mafia.
1171
01:08:15,657 --> 01:08:17,694
So get those stakes up higher
1172
01:08:17,829 --> 01:08:21,626
there's a thousand pretty
women waitin' out there
1173
01:08:21,762 --> 01:08:24,728
and they're all livin'
the devil may care
1174
01:08:24,864 --> 01:08:28,132
and I'm just the devil
with love to spare, so
1175
01:08:28,267 --> 01:08:30,876
viva, Las Vegas
1176
01:08:32,508 --> 01:08:34,705
There was that
fairytale wedding.
1177
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,574
And the honeymoon
on frank Sinatra's jet.
1178
01:08:37,709 --> 01:08:41,879
And introducing baby Lisa Marie.
1179
01:08:42,014 --> 01:08:46,787
I made him the highest paid
actor in Hollywood history.
1180
01:08:46,923 --> 01:08:48,387
We had a lot of fun!
1181
01:08:49,893 --> 01:08:52,092
But Elvis was a young man,
1182
01:08:52,227 --> 01:08:54,589
and of course,
he got distracted.
1183
01:08:54,725 --> 01:08:59,726
So we made them faster
and cheaper.
1184
01:08:59,862 --> 01:09:01,583
Beatlemania sweeps america,
1185
01:09:01,701 --> 01:09:04,434
as teens turn their attention
to the teenage rockers.
1186
01:09:06,506 --> 01:09:08,936
Is it my fault
the world changed?
1187
01:09:12,711 --> 01:09:15,173
Good evening.
Dr. Martin Luther King,
1188
01:09:15,309 --> 01:09:18,248
the apostle of non-violence
in the civil rights movement,
1189
01:09:18,384 --> 01:09:20,678
has been shot to death
in Memphis, Tennessee.
1190
01:09:37,260 --> 01:09:39,994
New Elvis stinker
bombs, another flop.
1191
01:09:40,130 --> 01:09:43,503
There's no more appetite
for Presley pictures.
1192
01:09:43,638 --> 01:09:46,141
It don't matter
how hard I worked,
1193
01:09:46,276 --> 01:09:49,008
how many snow jobs
I came up with,
1194
01:09:49,144 --> 01:09:51,108
how much snow I made them.
1195
01:09:51,243 --> 01:09:53,479
My boy loved to spend.
1196
01:09:53,613 --> 01:09:56,113
And with them hillbillies
around him,
1197
01:09:56,248 --> 01:09:59,317
the money would just melt away.
1198
01:09:59,453 --> 01:10:02,021
With the sale of the ranch
and the horses,
1199
01:10:02,156 --> 01:10:03,517
that's gonna cover the payroll,
1200
01:10:03,653 --> 01:10:05,884
but as for the security
at Graceland...
1201
01:10:06,020 --> 01:10:07,898
Officers also reportedly chased
1202
01:10:07,922 --> 01:10:09,554
and fired on
a radio-equipped car
1203
01:10:09,690 --> 01:10:11,494
containing two white men.
1204
01:10:11,629 --> 01:10:13,793
Dr. King was standing
on the balcony
1205
01:10:13,928 --> 01:10:16,098
of his second floor
hotel room tonight,
1206
01:10:16,233 --> 01:10:18,071
when, according to a companion,
1207
01:10:18,207 --> 01:10:20,502
a shot was fired
from across the street.
1208
01:10:21,235 --> 01:10:22,435
Dr. King.
1209
01:10:22,571 --> 01:10:23,433
Uncle Vernon, come quick!
1210
01:10:23,569 --> 01:10:24,774
He always spoke the truth.
1211
01:10:24,910 --> 01:10:26,742
What happened?
1212
01:10:26,877 --> 01:10:28,786
They rushed the 39-year-old
negro leader to a hospital,
1213
01:10:28,810 --> 01:10:31,345
where he died of a bullet wound
in the neck.
1214
01:10:31,481 --> 01:10:32,908
Jingle, jingles...
1215
01:10:33,044 --> 01:10:35,248
Here comes Santa claus
here comes Santa claus
1216
01:10:35,383 --> 01:10:37,650
right down Santa claus Lane
1217
01:10:37,785 --> 01:10:39,690
Vixen and blitzen
and all the reindeer
1218
01:10:39,826 --> 01:10:41,356
pulling on the rein
1219
01:10:41,491 --> 01:10:43,560
Elvis Presley's
wonderful world of Christmas.
1220
01:10:43,695 --> 01:10:44,719
Brought to you by
1221
01:10:44,855 --> 01:10:46,655
the singer sewing machine
company,
1222
01:10:46,791 --> 01:10:48,865
to every television set
in america.
1223
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:50,896
It only takes three days
to tape,
1224
01:10:51,032 --> 01:10:52,032
and there's no audience.
1225
01:10:52,134 --> 01:10:53,864
Violence breeds violence,
1226
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:55,744
- repression breeds retaliation.
- ...Christmas sweater.
1227
01:10:55,768 --> 01:10:58,966
Made on the new singer,
home knitting apparatus.
1228
01:10:59,101 --> 01:11:02,142
- Memphis is burning.
- And to fear his brother.
1229
01:11:02,278 --> 01:11:04,707
When you teach
that he is a lesser man
1230
01:11:04,842 --> 01:11:07,379
because of his color
or his beliefs...
1231
01:11:07,514 --> 01:11:09,281
...Dreaming
of a white Christmas,
1232
01:11:09,416 --> 01:11:12,510
because, oh,
it's definitely going to snow.
1233
01:11:12,646 --> 01:11:14,318
Christmas special.
1234
01:11:14,453 --> 01:11:16,386
Is this the best we can do,
admiral?
1235
01:11:16,521 --> 01:11:18,482
Well, we took
the Hollywood phonies
1236
01:11:18,618 --> 01:11:20,050
for every nickel they had
1237
01:11:20,185 --> 01:11:22,457
and now it is time
for us to pack up our tents
1238
01:11:22,593 --> 01:11:24,489
and move on
to even greener pastures.
1239
01:11:24,625 --> 01:11:26,162
We've seen "Elvis the rebel,"
1240
01:11:26,297 --> 01:11:28,034
we've seen
"Elvis the movie star."
1241
01:11:28,169 --> 01:11:31,669
Now we will see
"Elvis the family entertainer."
1242
01:11:31,805 --> 01:11:33,237
And appliance salesman?
1243
01:11:35,532 --> 01:11:37,470
What did you say?
1244
01:11:37,606 --> 01:11:40,004
Listen, Jerry,
I don't need you to question me
1245
01:11:40,140 --> 01:11:43,207
about how I support my family
and every goddamn person here.
1246
01:11:43,342 --> 01:11:44,874
You understand me?
1247
01:11:45,010 --> 01:11:46,931
If you don't like it,
you can go back to Memphis.
1248
01:11:49,051 --> 01:11:50,615
Laugh it up, assholes.
1249
01:12:06,896 --> 01:12:08,368
What a beautiful rendition
1250
01:12:08,503 --> 01:12:10,735
of "here comes Santa claus"
that was,
1251
01:12:10,870 --> 01:12:14,175
with all the sparkle and magic
that the season brings.
1252
01:12:14,310 --> 01:12:16,210
And you'll be even warmer
this season
1253
01:12:16,345 --> 01:12:18,777
in a 12 Gauge
cable-knit woolen sweater...
1254
01:12:18,912 --> 01:12:21,111
- Satnin?
- Hi.
1255
01:12:21,247 --> 01:12:23,387
Made right at home on the
singer sewer sk155 home knitter.
1256
01:12:23,411 --> 01:12:25,914
And now, here's Elvis!
1257
01:12:29,981 --> 01:12:31,919
Can I watch the memorial
with you?
1258
01:12:32,054 --> 01:12:33,389
Yeah, baby.
1259
01:12:40,825 --> 01:12:43,900
I'm so tired of playing
Elvis Presley.
1260
01:12:44,035 --> 01:12:46,395
Too many people rely on me.
1261
01:12:49,773 --> 01:12:51,401
I love you.
1262
01:12:51,536 --> 01:12:53,308
And your daughter loves you.
1263
01:12:55,974 --> 01:12:58,078
We don't care about the money
or anything else.
1264
01:12:58,214 --> 01:12:59,906
We just want you to be happy.
1265
01:13:00,041 --> 01:13:01,750
Lord, hold my hand
1266
01:13:01,886 --> 01:13:03,584
and don't let me fall
1267
01:13:03,719 --> 01:13:07,150
you're only really happy when
you sing the music you love.
1268
01:13:07,285 --> 01:13:11,186
Oh
1269
01:13:11,321 --> 01:13:14,585
Take my hand
1270
01:13:14,721 --> 01:13:17,493
Mahalia Jackson.
1271
01:13:17,629 --> 01:13:20,300
I used to hear her sing
at east street church.
1272
01:13:20,435 --> 01:13:23,663
Got a feelin' in my body
1273
01:13:23,799 --> 01:13:25,795
that's the music
that makes me happy.
1274
01:13:25,931 --> 01:13:31,408
This will be our lucky day
1275
01:13:31,544 --> 01:13:36,004
so when things are too
dangerous to say... sing!
1276
01:13:41,488 --> 01:13:46,524
When Moses walked the children
out of Egypt land
1277
01:13:46,659 --> 01:13:51,026
he said "now don't you worry
we're in the lord's hands"
1278
01:13:51,162 --> 01:13:54,996
I got a feelin' in my body
1279
01:13:55,132 --> 01:13:58,201
this will be our lucky day
1280
01:14:01,703 --> 01:14:05,666
we'll be released
from all our sorrow
1281
01:14:05,801 --> 01:14:08,903
leave it layin' along the way
1282
01:14:17,181 --> 01:14:20,046
You gotta meet these
binder and bones guys, e.P.
1283
01:14:20,181 --> 01:14:21,462
They're the ones
that put James brown,
1284
01:14:21,486 --> 01:14:23,983
the rolling stones onstage.
1285
01:14:24,118 --> 01:14:25,785
They're doing some
cutting edge stuff.
1286
01:14:25,921 --> 01:14:30,054
Mr. Binder, Mr. Howe...
Thanks for coming.
1287
01:14:46,371 --> 01:14:48,572
When I first came
to Hollywood, I'd come up here
1288
01:14:48,705 --> 01:14:50,938
and sit for hours.
1289
01:14:51,074 --> 01:14:52,744
Right over there,
the observatory...
1290
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:55,585
That's where they shot
rebel without a cause.
1291
01:14:55,721 --> 01:15:00,681
Man, I used to dream of being
a great actor like Jimmy Dean.
1292
01:15:00,817 --> 01:15:02,885
This sign was beautiful then.
1293
01:15:05,158 --> 01:15:07,023
And now...
1294
01:15:07,159 --> 01:15:10,028
Feels as though lots of things
are like that these days.
1295
01:15:10,164 --> 01:15:13,092
Broke down, beat up.
1296
01:15:13,934 --> 01:15:14,934
Rotten.
1297
01:15:17,098 --> 01:15:19,031
I really like what you guys did,
1298
01:15:19,166 --> 01:15:21,603
putting James brown
and the stones together.
1299
01:15:21,739 --> 01:15:25,170
We're, uh...
Big fans of yours, too.
1300
01:15:25,305 --> 01:15:27,713
It's just that, Mr. Presley,
we don't usually...
1301
01:15:27,848 --> 01:15:29,110
Oh, Elvis.
1302
01:15:29,245 --> 01:15:30,679
Elvis, uh...
1303
01:15:32,310 --> 01:15:34,949
Christmas specials
aren't really our thing.
1304
01:15:35,085 --> 01:15:36,288
I know.
1305
01:15:38,189 --> 01:15:40,458
Tell me, honestly...
1306
01:15:40,593 --> 01:15:42,954
Where do you boys
think my career's at right now?
1307
01:15:44,898 --> 01:15:46,589
Well, it's...
1308
01:15:46,725 --> 01:15:49,432
It's in the toilet, Elvis.
1309
01:15:55,072 --> 01:15:57,606
You hear that, Jerry?
1310
01:15:57,742 --> 01:16:00,937
Oh, lord. I knew you were
the right guys for this job.
1311
01:16:01,072 --> 01:16:03,411
You know,
back when I was starting out,
1312
01:16:03,546 --> 01:16:05,941
some people wanted
to put me in jail,
1313
01:16:06,076 --> 01:16:09,241
even kill me,
'cause of the way I was moving.
1314
01:16:11,450 --> 01:16:13,014
So they cut my hair,
1315
01:16:13,150 --> 01:16:16,016
they put me in uniform
and they sent me away.
1316
01:16:18,995 --> 01:16:20,658
That killed my mother.
1317
01:16:23,856 --> 01:16:25,629
And ever since then...
1318
01:16:27,429 --> 01:16:28,665
I've been lost.
1319
01:16:31,100 --> 01:16:33,834
And when you're lost,
people take advantage.
1320
01:16:37,074 --> 01:16:40,269
I need you fellas to help me
get back to who I really am.
1321
01:16:41,542 --> 01:16:42,776
And who are you, Elvis?
1322
01:16:45,477 --> 01:16:47,624
I sure as hell ain't somebody
who sings Christmas songs
1323
01:16:47,648 --> 01:16:50,452
by a fireplace for an hour.
1324
01:16:50,587 --> 01:16:53,049
And what does the colonel think?
1325
01:16:53,184 --> 01:16:55,458
I don't give a damn
what the colonel thinks.
1326
01:17:10,671 --> 01:17:12,332
For this television special,
1327
01:17:12,468 --> 01:17:15,138
we've got this bindle fella,
number one hotshot director.
1328
01:17:15,273 --> 01:17:18,043
Elvis will be humoring him by
doing a few of his fresh ideas.
1329
01:17:18,177 --> 01:17:19,741
Ah, the sweater!
1330
01:17:19,877 --> 01:17:22,473
To Mr. Presley's
dressing room, please.
1331
01:17:22,609 --> 01:17:25,978
We are going to sing three
spectacular Christmas songs
1332
01:17:26,114 --> 01:17:28,179
in that very sweater.
1333
01:17:30,118 --> 01:17:33,149
Now, when that sign lights up,
what do you do?
1334
01:17:33,284 --> 01:17:34,724
Applause.
1335
01:17:38,632 --> 01:17:40,991
"Silent is the night"
and "deck the halls,"
1336
01:17:41,127 --> 01:17:44,469
and, uh...
"Whose child is this?"
1337
01:17:44,605 --> 01:17:46,502
You think we can do some gospel?
1338
01:17:46,637 --> 01:17:48,171
Well, if you want
to find yourself,
1339
01:17:48,307 --> 01:17:49,904
first thing you do is go home.
1340
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:53,439
Metaphorically, you know.
Get back to who you really are.
1341
01:17:53,575 --> 01:17:55,538
And what is the boy that...
1342
01:17:55,673 --> 01:17:57,322
- oh, "the little drummer boy"?
- Yes, "the little drumming boy."
1343
01:17:57,346 --> 01:17:58,911
Oh, the... with the...
1344
01:17:59,046 --> 01:18:00,947
We get your old band
back together.
1345
01:18:01,083 --> 01:18:04,845
But we are going to start with
"here comes Santa claus,"
1346
01:18:04,981 --> 01:18:06,753
isn't that right, Mr. Bindle?
1347
01:18:06,888 --> 01:18:08,398
Uh, the Christmas specials
come later in the show.
1348
01:18:08,422 --> 01:18:09,789
Can you bring up two?
1349
01:18:09,924 --> 01:18:11,860
A leather jacket.
Raw, dirty.
1350
01:18:11,995 --> 01:18:15,021
Remember, ladies and gentlemen,
this is television, not radio,
1351
01:18:15,157 --> 01:18:16,627
so when that goes up
and you clap,
1352
01:18:16,763 --> 01:18:18,124
let's see it
on your faces as well.
1353
01:18:19,492 --> 01:18:20,773
But you need an audience.
1354
01:18:20,829 --> 01:18:22,394
Audience?
1355
01:18:22,529 --> 01:18:24,442
- Bring it over to one.
- At any second now,
1356
01:18:24,466 --> 01:18:26,445
Elvis is gonna walk onto this
stage and perform just for you.
1357
01:18:26,469 --> 01:18:28,648
I ain't sang in front
of an audience in a long time.
1358
01:18:28,672 --> 01:18:30,070
That's my point.
1359
01:18:30,206 --> 01:18:33,209
Ladies and gentlemen,
here's Elvis Presley!
1360
01:19:11,238 --> 01:19:13,911
Well, since my baby left me
1361
01:19:14,046 --> 01:19:16,574
well, I found a new place
to dwell
1362
01:19:16,710 --> 01:19:18,613
well, it's down at the end
of lonely street
1363
01:19:18,749 --> 01:19:21,082
at heartbreak hotel
1364
01:19:21,217 --> 01:19:24,685
where I'll be
I'll be so lonely, baby
1365
01:19:24,820 --> 01:19:27,120
I'll be so lonely
1366
01:19:27,256 --> 01:19:31,092
I'll be so lonely I could die
1367
01:19:31,227 --> 01:19:34,292
well, the bellhop's tears
keep flowin'
1368
01:19:34,428 --> 01:19:36,966
and the desk clerk's
dressed in black
1369
01:19:37,101 --> 01:19:39,462
well, they've been so long
on lonely street
1370
01:19:39,597 --> 01:19:43,241
well, they'll never
they'll never look back
1371
01:19:43,377 --> 01:19:45,407
they'll be so lonely, baby
1372
01:19:45,543 --> 01:19:48,006
they'll be so lonely
1373
01:19:48,142 --> 01:19:50,411
they'll be so lonely
they could die
1374
01:19:53,814 --> 01:19:57,180
Well, that was... energetic.
1375
01:19:59,350 --> 01:20:01,982
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
1376
01:20:02,118 --> 01:20:04,054
snoopin' at my door
1377
01:20:04,190 --> 01:20:06,689
you ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
1378
01:20:06,825 --> 01:20:09,356
cryin' all the time
1379
01:20:09,491 --> 01:20:11,124
well, you ain't never
caught a rabbit
1380
01:20:11,259 --> 01:20:13,866
you ain't no friend of mine
1381
01:20:14,597 --> 01:20:15,597
come on!
1382
01:20:17,007 --> 01:20:19,000
Colonel...
1383
01:20:19,136 --> 01:20:21,206
Is "here comes
Santa claus" next?
1384
01:20:21,341 --> 01:20:22,901
Absolutely.
1385
01:20:23,037 --> 01:20:25,537
I see no reason why not.
1386
01:20:25,673 --> 01:20:29,277
He's not in the swe... he's not
even wearing the sweater.
1387
01:20:29,412 --> 01:20:32,377
Well, it's one for the money
two for the show
1388
01:20:32,512 --> 01:20:34,478
three to get ready
now go, cat, go
1389
01:20:34,614 --> 01:20:38,985
but don't you
step on my blue suede shoes
1390
01:20:39,121 --> 01:20:41,192
I do not know what is going on.
1391
01:20:41,328 --> 01:20:42,626
Singing "hound dog"?
1392
01:20:42,762 --> 01:20:44,563
What does that have to do
with Christmas?
1393
01:20:44,698 --> 01:20:47,159
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
yeah
1394
01:20:47,294 --> 01:20:49,700
blue, blue, blue suede shoes
baby
1395
01:20:49,835 --> 01:20:51,666
blue, blue, blue suede shoes
yeah
1396
01:20:51,802 --> 01:20:53,666
blue, blue blue suede shoes
1397
01:20:53,802 --> 01:20:55,232
well, you can do anything
1398
01:20:55,367 --> 01:20:57,674
but lay off of my
blue suede shoes
1399
01:21:02,038 --> 01:21:03,736
Young man, you tell them
1400
01:21:03,872 --> 01:21:05,689
it's time for "here comes
Santa claus." I said so. Now!
1401
01:21:05,713 --> 01:21:07,507
All right. First positions!
1402
01:21:10,315 --> 01:21:12,711
Warden threw a party
in the county jail
1403
01:21:12,846 --> 01:21:15,219
the prison band was there
and they began to wail
1404
01:21:15,355 --> 01:21:18,257
the band was jumping
and the joint began to swing
1405
01:21:18,393 --> 01:21:20,393
you should a heard those
knocked out jailbirds sing
1406
01:21:20,492 --> 01:21:24,862
let's rock all right,
everybody, let's rock
1407
01:21:24,997 --> 01:21:27,799
everybody in the whole
cell block
1408
01:21:27,934 --> 01:21:30,400
was dancing to the
jailhouse rock
1409
01:21:30,535 --> 01:21:35,405
dancing to the jailhouse rock
dancing to the jailhouse rock
1410
01:21:35,540 --> 01:21:39,374
dancing to the jailhouse rock
dancing to the jailhouse rock
1411
01:21:40,677 --> 01:21:43,380
They were dancin'
1412
01:21:43,516 --> 01:21:45,613
well, they were dancin'
1413
01:21:45,749 --> 01:21:48,578
to the jailhouse rock
1414
01:21:48,714 --> 01:21:50,215
hah!
1415
01:21:50,915 --> 01:21:52,382
All right.
1416
01:21:58,496 --> 01:22:01,427
It's been a long time, baby.
1417
01:22:01,562 --> 01:22:03,128
A long time.
1418
01:22:19,576 --> 01:22:21,224
Well, I like a lot
of the new groups,
1419
01:22:21,248 --> 01:22:24,482
you know, the Beatles
and the byrds, but,
1420
01:22:24,618 --> 01:22:27,479
a lot of it is basically...
1421
01:22:27,614 --> 01:22:29,620
Rock and roll music
is basically, uh...
1422
01:22:29,755 --> 01:22:31,925
Gospel or rhythm and blues.
1423
01:22:32,061 --> 01:22:35,960
Well, that's one thing about
this TV special that I'm doing,
1424
01:22:36,095 --> 01:22:38,794
they're gonna let me do
what I want to do.
1425
01:22:38,929 --> 01:22:40,991
Sing the music that I want.
1426
01:22:41,126 --> 01:22:42,668
Music that I love.
1427
01:22:45,197 --> 01:22:47,167
Music that makes me happy.
1428
01:22:53,377 --> 01:22:57,782
Those know-it-all
hippies had brainwashed Elvis,
1429
01:22:57,917 --> 01:23:00,444
acting like he was
one of them radicals,
1430
01:23:00,580 --> 01:23:03,309
throwing his career away
to sing spirituals
1431
01:23:03,445 --> 01:23:04,952
with a bunch of longhairs.
1432
01:23:12,988 --> 01:23:14,688
Bindle...
1433
01:23:14,824 --> 01:23:16,343
- Cue the gospel number now. Go.
- "Here comes Santa claus."
1434
01:23:16,367 --> 01:23:18,224
Up above my head
1435
01:23:20,603 --> 01:23:23,234
There is music in the air
1436
01:23:23,370 --> 01:23:24,469
no.
1437
01:23:24,605 --> 01:23:26,367
Up above my head
1438
01:23:28,668 --> 01:23:31,009
all right, none of this
will be in the special.
1439
01:23:31,145 --> 01:23:33,306
Can you make a note that
that should be in the special?
1440
01:23:35,383 --> 01:23:39,008
Okay, now let's segue straight
into the whorehouse dancers. Go!
1441
01:23:39,143 --> 01:23:41,314
Whorehouse? No.
1442
01:23:43,989 --> 01:23:46,225
Now bring in
the kung fu spectacular.
1443
01:23:46,361 --> 01:23:49,555
What? Kung fu?
1444
01:23:49,690 --> 01:23:51,663
If you ever take
a trip down to the ocean
1445
01:23:51,798 --> 01:23:54,558
find yourself down around mobile
1446
01:23:54,694 --> 01:23:57,030
This has nothing
to do with Christmas!
1447
01:23:57,165 --> 01:23:59,297
You'll be hearing
from our lawyers.
1448
01:23:59,433 --> 01:24:01,113
But, we still have
"here comes Santa claus"!
1449
01:24:01,137 --> 01:24:03,236
Santa claus is bringing you
a lawsuit!
1450
01:24:03,371 --> 01:24:04,676
Digging the finest
little five-piece group
1451
01:24:04,700 --> 01:24:06,667
up and down the Gulf of Mexico
1452
01:24:06,802 --> 01:24:08,542
guess who's leading
that five-piece band
1453
01:24:08,678 --> 01:24:10,076
well, wouldn't you know
1454
01:24:10,212 --> 01:24:11,938
it's that swinging little
guitar man
1455
01:24:12,074 --> 01:24:16,577
I got a feelin' in my body
this will be our lucky day
1456
01:24:16,712 --> 01:24:20,284
just put your arms around me
real tight
1457
01:24:20,419 --> 01:24:23,350
we'll be released
from all our sorrow
1458
01:24:23,486 --> 01:24:25,590
leave it layin' along the way
1459
01:24:25,725 --> 01:24:29,423
well, I'm the king of the jungle
they call me the tiger man
1460
01:24:29,559 --> 01:24:33,291
I got a...
I got a feelin' in my body
1461
01:24:33,426 --> 01:24:35,268
this will be our lucky day
1462
01:24:38,565 --> 01:24:40,336
Bobby Kennedy been shot!
1463
01:24:40,471 --> 01:24:42,448
Bobby Kennedy's
been shot, everybody!
1464
01:24:42,472 --> 01:24:44,767
Senator Kennedy has been shot.
1465
01:24:44,902 --> 01:24:48,207
Oh, my god.
Senator Kennedy has been shot.
1466
01:24:50,314 --> 01:24:52,248
Get the gun. Get the gun.
1467
01:24:52,384 --> 01:24:54,714
Take a hold of his thumb
and break it if you have to!
1468
01:24:54,849 --> 01:24:56,078
Get his gun!
1469
01:24:56,214 --> 01:24:57,580
We're ready on set.
1470
01:24:59,655 --> 01:25:00,853
Oh, my god.
1471
01:25:10,865 --> 01:25:14,427
Senator Kennedy
was involved in a shooting,
1472
01:25:14,562 --> 01:25:16,596
that a newsman was involved,
1473
01:25:16,731 --> 01:25:18,570
and that one other man
was involved.
1474
01:25:18,705 --> 01:25:21,668
There are now three doctors
back there caring for them.
1475
01:25:21,804 --> 01:25:23,725
Steve,
we gotta get back to work.
1476
01:25:23,809 --> 01:25:25,809
Work?
1477
01:25:25,945 --> 01:25:27,219
Amount of blood
on the floor of this anteroom.
1478
01:25:27,243 --> 01:25:30,075
Ice is now being, uh, brought...
1479
01:25:33,281 --> 01:25:35,856
Listen, I, uh...
1480
01:25:37,384 --> 01:25:38,653
I just want to say that...
1481
01:25:40,222 --> 01:25:42,461
That this nation is hurting.
1482
01:25:42,597 --> 01:25:44,929
It's lost. You know? It...
1483
01:25:45,065 --> 01:25:48,933
It needs a voice right now
to help it heal.
1484
01:25:51,099 --> 01:25:52,728
We have to say something.
1485
01:25:53,867 --> 01:25:55,399
You...
1486
01:25:55,534 --> 01:25:58,401
Have to make
a statement, e.P.
1487
01:25:58,537 --> 01:26:02,107
Mr. Presley does not
make statements.
1488
01:26:02,242 --> 01:26:06,074
He sings
"here comes Santa claus"
1489
01:26:06,210 --> 01:26:07,782
and wishes everyone,
1490
01:26:07,917 --> 01:26:10,447
"merry Christmas
and good night."
1491
01:26:12,651 --> 01:26:14,122
Senator Kennedy's
press secretary
1492
01:26:14,257 --> 01:26:16,355
was made roughly an hour
and a half ago.
1493
01:26:16,491 --> 01:26:19,356
Some five to ten minutes later,
the operation began.
1494
01:26:19,491 --> 01:26:21,864
The six-man team
of neurosurgeons
1495
01:26:21,999 --> 01:26:23,468
probing for the bullet
that had lodged
1496
01:26:23,492 --> 01:26:25,164
in senator Kennedy's brain.
1497
01:26:25,300 --> 01:26:27,535
No report yet
as to how that operation...
1498
01:26:27,670 --> 01:26:29,695
Poor Mrs. Kennedy.
1499
01:26:30,472 --> 01:26:31,499
This tragedy...
1500
01:26:32,474 --> 01:26:34,499
A tragedy.
1501
01:26:34,635 --> 01:26:36,969
But it has nothing
to do with us.
1502
01:26:37,104 --> 01:26:40,570
The white house
has reacted to the shooting...
1503
01:26:40,706 --> 01:26:42,844
It has everything to do with us.
1504
01:26:42,980 --> 01:26:46,382
No, I just do not think
1505
01:26:46,518 --> 01:26:49,647
we should be making speeches
about politics and religion.
1506
01:26:49,783 --> 01:26:52,319
Dr. King was shot
eight miles from Graceland
1507
01:26:52,454 --> 01:26:56,027
while I was out here
singing to turtles.
1508
01:26:56,163 --> 01:26:58,288
And now this, and all you can
think about is how many
1509
01:26:58,423 --> 01:27:00,490
goddamn sweaters I can sell?
1510
01:27:00,625 --> 01:27:02,460
I am a promoter.
That is what I do.
1511
01:27:02,595 --> 01:27:04,892
And I'm Elvis Presley.
That's what I do.
1512
01:27:05,027 --> 01:27:07,671
Well, Mr. Bindle has really
gotten inside your head
1513
01:27:07,806 --> 01:27:09,666
with all of his hippie friends.
1514
01:27:09,801 --> 01:27:11,903
You actually think that
you singing your old songs
1515
01:27:12,039 --> 01:27:13,701
dressed in black leather,
1516
01:27:13,836 --> 01:27:16,675
sweating, mumbling incoherently
to the audience
1517
01:27:16,810 --> 01:27:18,245
was a good show?
1518
01:27:18,380 --> 01:27:20,276
Colonel, I know when
I've excited an audience.
1519
01:27:20,412 --> 01:27:22,851
That was not a real audience,
my boy.
1520
01:27:22,986 --> 01:27:24,885
There was a sign
flashing "applaud,"
1521
01:27:25,021 --> 01:27:26,680
telling them
when to clap for you.
1522
01:27:26,815 --> 01:27:29,616
This entire jamboree
is an embarrassment.
1523
01:27:31,026 --> 01:27:32,347
You have embarrassed
the sponsors,
1524
01:27:32,388 --> 01:27:33,589
you have embarrassed yourself,
1525
01:27:33,722 --> 01:27:35,170
you have embarrassed me.
1526
01:27:35,194 --> 01:27:37,722
Now, you can sing whatever songs
1527
01:27:37,858 --> 01:27:41,024
you and Mr. Bindle choose
for 55 minutes,
1528
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:44,465
but at the end of the show,
there will be a Christmas song.
1529
01:27:45,871 --> 01:27:48,765
Or else we will be sued.
1530
01:27:48,900 --> 01:27:52,177
No, you will be sued
for breach of contract,
1531
01:27:52,313 --> 01:27:55,613
because I will no longer be
the promoter of your career.
1532
01:27:55,749 --> 01:27:57,377
I will have to leave you.
1533
01:27:59,517 --> 01:28:00,517
Hmm.
1534
01:28:03,081 --> 01:28:04,450
Mmm-hmm.
1535
01:28:13,361 --> 01:28:14,955
Now, I have convinced
our friends
1536
01:28:15,090 --> 01:28:17,457
at singer sewing machines
to come back tomorrow
1537
01:28:17,593 --> 01:28:19,925
for "here comes Santa claus."
1538
01:28:20,060 --> 01:28:23,395
I will see you in the morning,
Mr. Presley.
1539
01:28:23,531 --> 01:28:25,070
Oh, and as I recall,
1540
01:28:25,206 --> 01:28:27,633
Dr. King said
rock and roll music
1541
01:28:27,769 --> 01:28:30,440
contributed
to juvenile delinquency.
1542
01:28:30,576 --> 01:28:31,923
It would be wrong,
1543
01:28:31,947 --> 01:28:33,307
it would be self-deceptive
1544
01:28:33,442 --> 01:28:35,114
to ignore the connection
1545
01:28:35,249 --> 01:28:37,442
between that lawlessness
and hatred
1546
01:28:37,578 --> 01:28:39,686
and this act of violence.
1547
01:28:39,822 --> 01:28:41,585
It would be just as wrong
1548
01:28:41,721 --> 01:28:44,924
and just as self-deceptive
to conclude from this act
1549
01:28:45,059 --> 01:28:47,419
that our country itself is sick,
1550
01:28:47,554 --> 01:28:49,160
that it's lost its balance,
1551
01:28:49,295 --> 01:28:51,763
that it's lost its sense
of direction,
1552
01:28:51,898 --> 01:28:53,994
even its common decency.
1553
01:28:54,130 --> 01:28:55,761
200 million Americans
1554
01:28:55,897 --> 01:28:59,098
did not strike down
Robert Kennedy last night,
1555
01:28:59,234 --> 01:29:00,599
any more than they struck down
1556
01:29:00,734 --> 01:29:04,736
President John F. Kennedy
in 1963,
1557
01:29:04,871 --> 01:29:08,106
or Dr. Martin Luther King
in April of this year.
1558
01:29:08,242 --> 01:29:10,641
My fellow citizens, we cannot,
1559
01:29:10,776 --> 01:29:13,243
we just must not tolerate
the sway
1560
01:29:13,378 --> 01:29:15,482
of violent men among us.
1561
01:29:15,618 --> 01:29:19,451
We must not permit men
that are filled with hate...
1562
01:29:28,494 --> 01:29:32,792
Here comes Santa claus
1563
01:29:35,870 --> 01:29:40,568
here comes Santa claus
1564
01:29:41,943 --> 01:29:46,244
right down Santa claus...
1565
01:29:53,782 --> 01:29:57,055
We're pretty set for the number
tomorrow, right, e.P.?
1566
01:29:57,191 --> 01:30:00,124
It's pretty familiar territory,
right?
1567
01:30:02,521 --> 01:30:04,689
A reverend once told me...
1568
01:30:06,825 --> 01:30:09,693
"When things are too dangerous
to say...
1569
01:30:12,361 --> 01:30:14,038
Sing."
1570
01:30:37,221 --> 01:30:42,921
There must be lights
burning brighter somewhere
1571
01:30:44,429 --> 01:30:48,734
got to be birds flying higher
1572
01:30:48,869 --> 01:30:52,331
in a sky more blue
1573
01:30:54,574 --> 01:30:56,908
Standing by.
We're seconds away, folks.
1574
01:30:57,043 --> 01:30:58,540
We're just waiting on upstairs.
1575
01:30:58,675 --> 01:31:01,069
We're gonna get a rehearsal
going very shortly.
1576
01:31:01,205 --> 01:31:03,846
Let's go, let's go, people!
First positions!
1577
01:31:03,982 --> 01:31:05,513
Here we go, from the top.
1578
01:31:05,649 --> 01:31:08,777
Mrs. Presley is quite
the homemaker, Priscilla is,
1579
01:31:08,913 --> 01:31:10,354
and I'm sure
she would love to have
1580
01:31:10,489 --> 01:31:13,618
one of the sk551 machines
so she can knit Elvis's...
1581
01:31:13,753 --> 01:31:15,919
- They were in there all night.
- Doing what?
1582
01:31:16,054 --> 01:31:18,069
He's working on a new song.
He says he's singing it.
1583
01:31:18,093 --> 01:31:19,724
New song? Whoa, hey!
1584
01:31:19,859 --> 01:31:22,292
It's beginning to look
a lot like Christmas. Yes!
1585
01:31:22,427 --> 01:31:24,265
Gentlemen, take your seats.
1586
01:31:26,896 --> 01:31:29,637
Now, that's a winter wonderland.
1587
01:31:29,772 --> 01:31:31,304
Mr. Bindle.
1588
01:31:31,439 --> 01:31:36,472
You and I are
on the same page at last.
1589
01:31:36,608 --> 01:31:38,339
Bring up the lights on the sign.
1590
01:31:38,474 --> 01:31:40,973
Okay, yeah. Let's go.
1591
01:31:41,109 --> 01:31:43,513
Dancers, stop.
Dancers, stop. Stop!
1592
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:47,244
Turn about. Turn about.
1593
01:31:47,380 --> 01:31:49,389
You've got to get some roll.
I got action on the right side.
1594
01:31:49,413 --> 01:31:51,850
Turn around. Come on,
through, through, through!
1595
01:31:55,259 --> 01:31:57,592
We're lost in a cloud
1596
01:31:58,964 --> 01:32:01,463
with too much rain
1597
01:32:02,859 --> 01:32:05,302
we're trapped in a world
1598
01:32:06,633 --> 01:32:10,407
that's troubled with pain
1599
01:32:10,543 --> 01:32:16,474
but as long as a man
has the strength to dream
1600
01:32:16,610 --> 01:32:23,483
he can redeem his soul and fly
1601
01:32:27,953 --> 01:32:35,493
deep in my heart
there's a trembling question
1602
01:32:35,628 --> 01:32:39,528
still, I am sure
that the answer's
1603
01:32:39,664 --> 01:32:43,067
answer's gonna come somehow
1604
01:32:43,203 --> 01:32:46,734
out there in the dark
1605
01:32:46,869 --> 01:32:51,003
there's a beckoning candle, yeah
1606
01:32:51,138 --> 01:32:54,741
and while I can think
while I can talk
1607
01:32:54,876 --> 01:32:58,850
while I can stand
while I can walk
1608
01:32:58,985 --> 01:33:02,480
while I can dream
1609
01:33:02,616 --> 01:33:06,647
oh, please let my dream
1610
01:33:06,782 --> 01:33:10,360
come true, oh
1611
01:33:14,129 --> 01:33:17,791
right now
1612
01:33:17,927 --> 01:33:20,468
let it come true right now
1613
01:33:33,174 --> 01:33:35,076
Thank you. Good night.
1614
01:33:35,211 --> 01:33:37,577
I was always said,
when it came to music,
1615
01:33:37,712 --> 01:33:39,444
my boy knows best.
1616
01:33:39,580 --> 01:33:44,181
But the special was my idea.
It was a tremendous hit.
1617
01:33:45,225 --> 01:33:46,889
We was back on top.
1618
01:33:47,025 --> 01:33:50,721
But some people were
putting ideas into his head
1619
01:33:50,856 --> 01:33:54,529
that he didn't need me no more.
1620
01:34:00,204 --> 01:34:01,372
Whoo-hoo!
1621
01:34:02,832 --> 01:34:04,066
It's working.
1622
01:34:04,201 --> 01:34:05,540
London, Germany, Japan...
1623
01:34:05,675 --> 01:34:07,076
Hulett here has got it
all lined up.
1624
01:34:07,211 --> 01:34:09,007
Air Presley's new wings.
1625
01:34:09,143 --> 01:34:11,184
You know, when you
play stadiums, it's like...
1626
01:34:11,208 --> 01:34:13,009
You do a week of shows
in just one night.
1627
01:34:13,144 --> 01:34:15,451
And when it's done,
you get on the plane...
1628
01:34:15,586 --> 01:34:17,585
You go where you want,
you play where you want,
1629
01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:20,113
and if they don't like it,
you go someplace else.
1630
01:34:20,248 --> 01:34:22,124
You know who told me that?
B.B. King.
1631
01:34:22,259 --> 01:34:24,056
Well, b.B. Knows, man.
1632
01:34:24,191 --> 01:34:26,351
And the someplace else you
should be going is overseas.
1633
01:34:26,423 --> 01:34:28,057
I like that.
1634
01:34:28,193 --> 01:34:30,239
You know, I heard last year
alone, you had two offers.
1635
01:34:30,263 --> 01:34:31,661
Germany and Japan,
1636
01:34:31,796 --> 01:34:34,666
for a million bucks
for one night.
1637
01:34:34,801 --> 01:34:36,936
I mean, why the colonel
would turn that down,
1638
01:34:37,072 --> 01:34:38,571
I have no idea, man.
1639
01:34:38,706 --> 01:34:41,004
Well, if you figure it out,
can you let us know?
1640
01:34:41,139 --> 01:34:42,576
Yeah.
1641
01:34:42,711 --> 01:34:43,470
Well, screw him.
You've got the plane now.
1642
01:34:43,605 --> 01:34:44,978
You should use it.
1643
01:34:45,113 --> 01:34:47,005
Yeah, come to daddy.
1644
01:34:47,141 --> 01:34:49,115
Maybe we should call it
the "Lisa Marie."
1645
01:34:49,250 --> 01:34:50,491
That's a beautiful name.
1646
01:34:50,545 --> 01:34:51,615
Right?
1647
01:34:54,054 --> 01:34:57,279
Hit me. Hit me.
1648
01:34:57,414 --> 01:35:01,783
Mr. Parker, Mr. Kohn
would like to see you.
1649
01:35:01,919 --> 01:35:04,252
Colonel Parker. Hit me.
1650
01:35:06,395 --> 01:35:08,399
I can't, sorry.
1651
01:35:11,462 --> 01:35:13,931
You've run up
quite a tab, colonel.
1652
01:35:14,066 --> 01:35:17,308
And we hear your boy's working
with new people.
1653
01:35:18,408 --> 01:35:21,075
You've lost your meal ticket.
1654
01:35:21,211 --> 01:35:23,442
It's time to settle up,
1655
01:35:23,578 --> 01:35:25,979
before we have to make things...
1656
01:35:26,115 --> 01:35:28,144
Uncomfortable.
1657
01:35:28,279 --> 01:35:31,249
Well, before the army, we found
no record of you at all.
1658
01:35:31,385 --> 01:35:34,047
No passport, no residency.
1659
01:35:34,183 --> 01:35:37,024
You were never a colonel.
Never a Tom.
1660
01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:38,888
You weren't even a Parker.
1661
01:35:39,024 --> 01:35:44,530
Why did you flee Holland,
Andreas Van kuijk?
1662
01:35:48,329 --> 01:35:50,174
I don't know why
1663
01:35:50,198 --> 01:35:51,976
you can't just let
the lawyers take care of it.
1664
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:53,638
I have to see him in Vegas.
1665
01:35:53,774 --> 01:35:55,968
He's in the hospital.
It's the right thing to do.
1666
01:35:56,103 --> 01:35:57,454
- Yeah, well...
- He's frail right now.
1667
01:35:57,478 --> 01:35:58,783
You know what he's like, baby.
1668
01:35:58,807 --> 01:36:00,810
Hey! Watch it.
1669
01:36:00,945 --> 01:36:02,793
You know what he's like. The
second that you're near him,
1670
01:36:02,817 --> 01:36:05,221
you'll be under ten feet of snow
before you know what's happened.
1671
01:36:05,245 --> 01:36:08,215
My mind's made up.
Business is business.
1672
01:36:08,350 --> 01:36:09,684
He and I are done.
1673
01:36:09,819 --> 01:36:11,654
But I owe it to him
to tell him to his face.
1674
01:36:11,789 --> 01:36:15,156
Well, just make sure he
doesn't clip your wings, honey.
1675
01:36:15,291 --> 01:36:16,986
He won't!
1676
01:36:17,122 --> 01:36:19,728
I am gonna go see him in Vegas.
1677
01:36:19,864 --> 01:36:24,459
I'm gonna look him in the eyes,
and I'm gonna tell him...
1678
01:36:24,594 --> 01:36:26,608
- Watch my hair.
- I'm gonna tell him...
1679
01:36:26,632 --> 01:36:27,968
- Mmm-hmm.
- Mmm-hmm.
1680
01:36:29,502 --> 01:36:30,502
...It's over.
1681
01:36:35,806 --> 01:36:38,210
You break it, you burn it
1682
01:36:38,345 --> 01:36:41,080
drag it all around
1683
01:36:41,216 --> 01:36:43,545
you twist it and turn it
1684
01:36:43,681 --> 01:36:46,081
you cannot tear it down
1685
01:36:46,217 --> 01:36:48,885
'cause every minute,
every hour you'll be shaken
1686
01:36:49,020 --> 01:36:51,522
by the strength
and mighty power of my love
1687
01:36:51,658 --> 01:36:53,284
colonel doesn't want you
making a fuss.
1688
01:37:00,333 --> 01:37:01,394
- Colonel?
- Mmm?
1689
01:37:01,530 --> 01:37:02,530
Elvis is here.
1690
01:37:02,661 --> 01:37:03,802
Oh...
1691
01:37:03,937 --> 01:37:06,895
Oh. My boy.
1692
01:37:07,030 --> 01:37:09,167
Admiral. How are you?
1693
01:37:09,302 --> 01:37:12,577
Oh, my boy, I should have
come down to see you.
1694
01:37:12,712 --> 01:37:14,874
But I'm a little
laid up, you know.
1695
01:37:15,009 --> 01:37:16,215
You've just had a heart attack.
1696
01:37:16,239 --> 01:37:17,679
You're not meant
to get out of bed.
1697
01:37:17,815 --> 01:37:20,210
Heart attack?
Colonel, you said your back...
1698
01:37:20,345 --> 01:37:24,052
My heart just stopped is all,
and I fell. It's...
1699
01:37:24,187 --> 01:37:26,185
I put my back out.
1700
01:37:28,390 --> 01:37:30,222
There you go.
1701
01:37:30,357 --> 01:37:33,095
It was all the excitement about
the Christmas special, you see.
1702
01:37:33,230 --> 01:37:34,562
I should never have worried,
1703
01:37:34,697 --> 01:37:38,390
because you came through
like you always do.
1704
01:37:38,525 --> 01:37:42,893
Nobody can sell "show"
to an audience like you.
1705
01:37:43,029 --> 01:37:45,264
I admit it. I was wrong.
1706
01:37:47,207 --> 01:37:48,575
Colonel, I...
1707
01:37:49,774 --> 01:37:51,511
I wanted to tell you in person.
1708
01:37:52,309 --> 01:37:54,578
Um...
1709
01:37:54,713 --> 01:37:57,979
As far as business
is concerned...
1710
01:37:58,114 --> 01:38:00,310
I think we need to go
our separate ways.
1711
01:38:05,456 --> 01:38:07,458
Well, you may be right.
1712
01:38:07,593 --> 01:38:10,120
Maybe it is time for me
to retire.
1713
01:38:10,256 --> 01:38:12,161
Oh, come on, colonel,
quit snowin' me.
1714
01:38:12,297 --> 01:38:13,726
You ain't retiring.
1715
01:38:13,861 --> 01:38:17,963
I will miss the circus. I will.
1716
01:38:18,098 --> 01:38:20,334
But I cannot keep up
with these young fellas,
1717
01:38:20,469 --> 01:38:22,065
like your Mr. Hulett,
1718
01:38:22,200 --> 01:38:24,965
who wants to put together
a new show
1719
01:38:25,101 --> 01:38:27,670
for an international tour,
1720
01:38:27,806 --> 01:38:30,240
for you to play stadiums.
1721
01:38:30,375 --> 01:38:35,683
These international tours
are very, very expensive.
1722
01:38:35,819 --> 01:38:39,287
And the costs
cut into the artist's profits.
1723
01:38:39,422 --> 01:38:41,356
I worry that the financial risk
1724
01:38:41,492 --> 01:38:44,291
would put a strain
on your daddy.
1725
01:38:44,426 --> 01:38:45,985
But I cannot help but think,
1726
01:38:46,121 --> 01:38:47,955
as your former technical advisor
1727
01:38:48,091 --> 01:38:51,193
and as an old friend, what if...
1728
01:38:51,329 --> 01:38:56,030
The next Elvis Presley show
did not cost you a red cent?
1729
01:38:58,973 --> 01:39:04,037
I wonder if your daddy would
not like the sound of that.
1730
01:39:05,546 --> 01:39:08,844
The brand-new
international hotel.
1731
01:39:28,500 --> 01:39:31,123
It's a mighty big stage.
1732
01:39:31,259 --> 01:39:33,195
The biggest in Las Vegas.
1733
01:39:33,330 --> 01:39:35,395
You could get lost
in a place like this.
1734
01:39:35,531 --> 01:39:38,297
My boy, you performed
that comeback special
1735
01:39:38,433 --> 01:39:41,241
on a tiny square,
inside a studio,
1736
01:39:41,376 --> 01:39:43,033
and the fans loved it.
1737
01:39:43,169 --> 01:39:44,679
In a room this size,
1738
01:39:44,814 --> 01:39:49,373
you could give them
the greatest show on earth.
1739
01:39:49,509 --> 01:39:53,113
Nothing less than Elvis Presley.
1740
01:39:53,249 --> 01:39:56,188
I've been experimenting
with a new, big sound.
1741
01:39:56,324 --> 01:39:57,590
Good. Good, my boy.
1742
01:39:57,726 --> 01:39:59,758
Because you can fill up
this entire stage
1743
01:39:59,893 --> 01:40:02,518
with every musical idea
that is inside that head.
1744
01:40:03,725 --> 01:40:05,092
No, it would cost.
1745
01:40:05,227 --> 01:40:07,600
Yes, that's the beauty of it.
1746
01:40:07,735 --> 01:40:09,533
You see, this here
international hotel...
1747
01:40:15,808 --> 01:40:17,404
This international hotel...
1748
01:40:17,539 --> 01:40:18,539
Mmm-hmm.
1749
01:40:18,642 --> 01:40:21,337
Needs a major drawing card
1750
01:40:21,472 --> 01:40:25,174
to pull in all the rubes
and put it on the map.
1751
01:40:25,309 --> 01:40:27,943
So they will cover
all of the costs
1752
01:40:28,079 --> 01:40:30,113
of putting together your show.
1753
01:40:30,248 --> 01:40:31,912
And you just play here
for six weeks,
1754
01:40:32,048 --> 01:40:33,848
and then off you go,
1755
01:40:33,984 --> 01:40:36,681
to tour around the world
1756
01:40:36,816 --> 01:40:40,621
with no financial risk
to Elvis Presley enterprises.
1757
01:40:40,756 --> 01:40:42,026
None.
1758
01:40:46,796 --> 01:40:48,801
Well, goddamn.
1759
01:40:55,469 --> 01:40:58,304
- Snowman strikes again.
- Oh, yeah.
1760
01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:02,578
We're going to make it snow.
It will snow.
1761
01:41:02,714 --> 01:41:05,054
First of all, we're gonna
need the sweet inspirations.
1762
01:41:05,078 --> 01:41:07,275
Yeah, yeah
1763
01:41:07,411 --> 01:41:09,319
And the imperials.
1764
01:41:09,454 --> 01:41:11,622
We're caught
in a trap I can't walk out
1765
01:41:11,758 --> 01:41:13,686
And a 30-piece orchestra.
1766
01:41:21,433 --> 01:41:23,959
You know, the first
thing that I ever recorded,
1767
01:41:24,095 --> 01:41:25,560
the very first thing,
1768
01:41:25,695 --> 01:41:28,563
was an old, uh, rhythm
and blues-type song
1769
01:41:28,698 --> 01:41:30,798
called "that's all right,
little mama."
1770
01:41:30,933 --> 01:41:33,335
And back then we only had
1771
01:41:33,471 --> 01:41:36,579
two or three instruments
at the time.
1772
01:41:36,714 --> 01:41:38,604
But this ain't
no nostalgia show.
1773
01:41:38,739 --> 01:41:40,612
We're gonna do something
different.
1774
01:41:44,720 --> 01:41:48,988
I, uh...
I wanna try something new.
1775
01:41:49,124 --> 01:41:52,687
All right, Glen, you're gonna
start us off, okay?
1776
01:41:52,823 --> 01:41:54,057
Take the intro here.
1777
01:42:11,338 --> 01:42:12,909
All right, bring that
bass up, Jerry.
1778
01:42:17,317 --> 01:42:18,474
Keep playing.
1779
01:42:20,848 --> 01:42:22,185
Whoo!
1780
01:42:22,320 --> 01:42:25,052
Oh! Oh! Oh!
1781
01:42:25,188 --> 01:42:26,713
-That's all right
-that's all right
1782
01:42:26,849 --> 01:42:28,287
-that's all right
-that's all right
1783
01:42:28,423 --> 01:42:29,659
boys...
1784
01:42:29,794 --> 01:42:30,357
That's all right
1785
01:42:30,492 --> 01:42:31,327
With me.
1786
01:42:31,463 --> 01:42:33,020
Any way you do
1787
01:42:33,155 --> 01:42:34,155
All right.
1788
01:42:39,130 --> 01:42:40,668
James, you ready?
1789
01:42:40,804 --> 01:42:42,661
Oh!
1790
01:42:49,311 --> 01:42:50,502
Flames, man!
1791
01:42:50,638 --> 01:42:52,576
Flames are coming
out of that guitar.
1792
01:42:52,712 --> 01:42:55,382
I got that. Ronnie.
1793
01:42:55,517 --> 01:42:56,607
I'll get back to that.
1794
01:42:57,385 --> 01:43:00,177
Horns, you ready?
1795
01:43:00,313 --> 01:43:03,719
Ba-da-bom! Ba-da-bom!
1796
01:43:06,526 --> 01:43:07,692
Let's up the octave!
1797
01:43:09,258 --> 01:43:11,961
Yeah! Goddamn!
1798
01:43:12,097 --> 01:43:15,292
All right, 'bones.
On a one, three, four...
1799
01:43:22,667 --> 01:43:25,104
Ronnie,
you know what to do, man.
1800
01:43:25,239 --> 01:43:27,267
Do it to me, come on.
Take us home.

01:43:29,309 --> 01:43:32,208

Yeah. Here you go.

01:43:59,609 --> 01:44:00,905
- How 'bout a hound dog?
- Cool.
1807
01:44:01,041 --> 01:44:02,176
I'll fix you with
some food and drink.
1808
01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:03,265
Thank you.
1809
01:44:06,405 --> 01:44:07,939

Ain't nobody gonna do
a better show than that.
1831
01:46:09,987 --> 01:46:11,383
I tell ya, if I was you,
1832
01:46:11,519 --> 01:46:13,684
I would book him
for a hundred years.
1833
01:46:15,095 --> 01:46:18,063
Well, no better time
than the present.
1834
01:46:18,198 --> 01:46:21,390
But we hear hulett has him
doing a world tour.
1835
01:46:23,201 --> 01:46:26,203
Well, well, well, uh,
I think Mr. Presley
1836
01:46:26,339 --> 01:46:29,905
could be persuaded to make
the international his home,
1837
01:46:30,041 --> 01:46:33,543
provided he was paid
pretty well.
1838
01:46:33,679 --> 01:46:35,343
What did you have in mind?
1839
01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:37,680
I'd like to introduce to you
a couple of people tonight,
1840
01:46:37,710 --> 01:46:40,340
one of which being
my beautiful wife, Priscilla.
1841
01:46:42,247 --> 01:46:43,712
Would you stand up, honey?
1842
01:46:43,847 --> 01:46:47,420
For an attraction as tremendous
as Mr. Presley...
1843
01:46:47,555 --> 01:46:51,225
We love you, Priscilla!
1844
01:46:51,361 --> 01:46:54,721
Also, this man over here,
I wouldn't be here without,
1845
01:46:54,856 --> 01:46:58,028
my manager of many years,
colonel Sanders.
1846
01:46:58,163 --> 01:47:01,793
Parker. Parker.
1847
01:47:01,929 --> 01:47:04,001
Well, we're gonna do a new song
for you tonight.
1848
01:47:04,136 --> 01:47:06,263
It's called "suspicious minds."
1849
01:47:06,399 --> 01:47:07,606
"Suspicious minds."
1850
01:47:12,075 --> 01:47:13,903
We're caught in a trap
1851
01:47:15,649 --> 01:47:17,741
I can't walk out
1852
01:47:19,283 --> 01:47:24,780
because I love you
too much, baby
1853
01:47:27,055 --> 01:47:28,649
why can't you see
1854
01:47:28,784 --> 01:47:32,823
oh, what you're doin' to me
1855
01:47:32,958 --> 01:47:38,925
oh, when you don't believe
a word I'm sayin'?
1856
01:47:41,735 --> 01:47:48,139
We can't go on together
with suspicious minds
1857
01:47:48,274 --> 01:47:51,272
and we can't build our dreams
1858
01:47:51,408 --> 01:47:55,173
on suspicious minds
1859
01:47:55,308 --> 01:47:58,850
so, if an old friend I know
shove it up your nose
1860
01:47:58,986 --> 01:48:01,049
stops by to say hello
1861
01:48:02,951 --> 01:48:10,061
Would I still see suspicion
in your eyes?
1862
01:48:10,197 --> 01:48:13,494
That is what my boy
would expect.
1863
01:48:15,492 --> 01:48:18,165
Now...
1864
01:48:18,301 --> 01:48:20,735
What are you going to pay me?
1865
01:48:25,944 --> 01:48:29,913
Oh, let our love survive
1866
01:48:30,049 --> 01:48:34,977
colonel, your sideshow
is the jackpot.
1867
01:48:36,650 --> 01:48:39,051
If you bring him back
every year,
1868
01:48:39,187 --> 01:48:41,614
I'll make it worth your while.
1869
01:48:41,750 --> 01:48:44,027
Oh, I've never...
1870
01:48:46,488 --> 01:48:49,031
Lied to you
1871
01:48:50,261 --> 01:48:51,627
caught in a trap
1872
01:48:53,330 --> 01:48:56,132
I can't walk out
1873
01:48:56,267 --> 01:48:57,863
good thing die
1874
01:49:00,704 --> 01:49:04,369
yeah, yeah now, don't you know
1875
01:49:04,505 --> 01:49:05,512
caught in a trap
1876
01:49:07,716 --> 01:49:09,379
I can't walk out
1877
01:49:10,985 --> 01:49:14,054
because I love you too much
1878
01:49:17,917 --> 01:49:22,523
caught in a trap
I can't walk out
1879
01:49:23,997 --> 01:49:26,757
because I love you too much
1880
01:49:30,863 --> 01:49:35,534
caught in a trap
I can't walk out
1881
01:49:36,975 --> 01:49:39,736
because I love you too much
1882
01:49:43,841 --> 01:49:48,040
caught in a trap
I can't walk out
1883
01:49:49,813 --> 01:49:54,947
because I love you
too much, baby
1884
01:49:55,082 --> 01:49:58,049
oh, don't you know
caught in a trap
1885
01:50:00,222 --> 01:50:03,520
of course, I will reserve
the right to sell calendars,
1886
01:50:03,655 --> 01:50:04,795
pictures and such?
1887
01:50:08,061 --> 01:50:09,961
You do whatever
you want, colonel,
1888
01:50:10,096 --> 01:50:13,964
as long as that boy
stays on that stage.
1889
01:50:28,420 --> 01:50:30,612
My boy's light burned brighter
1890
01:50:30,748 --> 01:50:33,481
than even 15 years before.
1891
01:50:33,617 --> 01:50:34,818
Hi, darlin'.
1892
01:51:02,649 --> 01:51:05,644
I saw in her face that night
1893
01:51:05,779 --> 01:51:08,619
what I had always known.
1894
01:51:08,755 --> 01:51:14,161
She could never compete
with the love he felt from you.
1895
01:51:22,259 --> 01:51:23,994
I'm sorry I couldn't
make it up there, man.
1896
01:51:25,664 --> 01:51:29,964
Take my... take my hand
1897
01:51:30,100 --> 01:51:34,837
take my whole...
Whole life too
1898
01:51:34,973 --> 01:51:37,309
for I... for I...
I can't help
1899
01:51:37,444 --> 01:51:38,948
hey, guys. Time to go back.
1900
01:51:39,083 --> 01:51:42,846
Falling in love with you
1901
01:51:42,981 --> 01:51:48,449
oh, oh, for I...
For I can't help
1902
01:51:48,584 --> 01:51:51,957

1903
01:51:52,092 --> 01:51:57,331

Thank you very much.

01:52:23,187 --> 01:52:25,180
Thank you! Thank you.
1906
01:52:39,827 --> 01:52:41,663
Such a fine show.
1907
01:52:47,243 --> 01:52:49,072
Yeah, baby! Yeah.
1908
01:52:49,207 --> 01:52:51,568
- Wow, great show.
- Thank you. Thank you, all.
1909
01:52:51,679 --> 01:52:54,039
Goddamn, Elvis.
That was great.
1910
01:52:54,175 --> 01:52:55,357
That was fantastic.
1911
01:52:55,381 --> 01:52:56,381
There she is.
1912
01:53:06,429 --> 01:53:08,762
Oh, god. I don't know
who that was out there.
1913
01:53:08,897 --> 01:53:11,054
You were... you...
1914
01:53:11,190 --> 01:53:12,656
You were incredible.
You were...
1915
01:53:12,792 --> 01:53:13,934
You were everything.
1916
01:53:14,069 --> 01:53:17,402
Thank you, baby. Thank you.
1917
01:53:19,302 --> 01:53:21,231
Mr. Elvis Presley,
1918
01:53:21,366 --> 01:53:23,975
I guess that's your
new manager over there, hmm?
1919
01:53:24,111 --> 01:53:25,771
- Mmm.
- Mmm-hmm.
1920
01:53:25,907 --> 01:53:28,102
Yeah. I'm gonna go talk to him,
all right?
1921
01:53:28,238 --> 01:53:29,945
- Okay.
- You okay to get upstairs?
1922
01:53:30,081 --> 01:53:31,140
Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
1923
01:53:46,463 --> 01:53:49,427
Tremendous...
Tremendous triumph.
1924
01:53:49,562 --> 01:53:52,325
The greatest show on earth.
1925
01:53:52,461 --> 01:53:57,135
My dear boy, this brainchild
came from you and me,
1926
01:53:57,270 --> 01:54:00,902
but you alone Rose above it
all, and it worked with your talent,
1927
01:54:01,038 --> 01:54:04,340
and your dedication.
1928
01:54:04,475 --> 01:54:06,003
We did it. We did it!
1929
01:54:06,138 --> 01:54:07,909
- We did it.
- We did.
1930
01:54:09,548 --> 01:54:12,312
Come on.
1931
01:54:14,315 --> 01:54:17,115
I can't wait to show the world
what you and I can do.
1932
01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:22,194
The world will see this show.
1933
01:54:22,329 --> 01:54:24,325
Whatever it takes,
I guarantee it.
1934
01:54:24,460 --> 01:54:25,793
Whatever I have to do.
1935
01:54:29,933 --> 01:54:31,337
Ladies and gentlemen
of the press,
1936
01:54:31,361 --> 01:54:34,136
the king of rock and roll,
Elvis Presley!
1937
01:54:36,000 --> 01:54:37,541
No, I'm not the king.
1938
01:54:37,677 --> 01:54:40,344
Hey, fats. Mr. Fats domino,
ladies and gentlemen.
1939
01:54:40,479 --> 01:54:42,209
This is the real king
of rock and roll.
1940
01:54:42,345 --> 01:54:43,810
Yeah, I'm somethin' else.
1941
01:54:43,945 --> 01:54:45,944
Any plans
to take this show on tour?
1942
01:54:46,079 --> 01:54:48,120
There's so many places
I haven't been yet, you know.
1943
01:54:48,247 --> 01:54:52,045
I'd like to go to Europe.
I'd like to go to Japan.
1944
01:54:52,181 --> 01:54:54,055
I've never been
out of the country,
1945
01:54:54,190 --> 01:54:55,552
except in the service.
1946
01:55:01,761 --> 01:55:03,288
What are you lookin' at
back there?
1947
01:55:04,164 --> 01:55:05,189
Oh, Mr. Diskin.
1948
01:55:05,325 --> 01:55:06,861
Have we discussed
with Mr. Hulett,
1949
01:55:06,997 --> 01:55:08,627
pertaining to the death threats?
1950
01:55:08,762 --> 01:55:10,663
The death threats?
1951
01:55:10,799 --> 01:55:13,400
Precisely. Death threats!
1952
01:55:15,143 --> 01:55:17,168
Down in Louisiana
1953
01:55:17,303 --> 01:55:21,107
where the alligators
grow so mean
1954
01:55:21,242 --> 01:55:24,515
lived a girl that I swear
to the world
1955
01:55:24,651 --> 01:55:26,775
made the alligators look tame
1956
01:55:26,911 --> 01:55:27,911
polk salad Annie
1957
01:55:30,856 --> 01:55:32,492
Colonel,
once we finish the season,
1958
01:55:32,516 --> 01:55:34,383
Elvis wants
to take the tour overseas.
1959
01:55:34,518 --> 01:55:37,622
Overseas? Have you thought
about security, Jerry?
1960
01:55:37,758 --> 01:55:39,691
Of course I have.
1961
01:55:39,826 --> 01:55:41,728
This is Elvis Presley,
1962
01:55:41,864 --> 01:55:44,893
the most famous man
on the planet.
1963
01:55:45,028 --> 01:55:47,464
Straight-razor totin' woman
1964
01:55:47,600 --> 01:55:49,165
lord, have mercy
1965
01:55:49,301 --> 01:55:50,715
The crazies
in those countries...
1966
01:55:50,739 --> 01:55:52,937
They're a hundred times
more dangerous.
1967
01:55:53,073 --> 01:55:55,770
Am I the only one
who thinks about security?
1968
01:55:55,905 --> 01:55:58,838
Sock a little polk salad
1969
01:55:58,973 --> 01:56:00,273
you know I need it
1970
01:56:02,080 --> 01:56:05,116
there is nothing more important
than security!
1971
01:56:19,230 --> 01:56:23,326
Am I the only one who ever
thinks about Elvis' security!
1972
01:56:30,210 --> 01:56:31,399
Get him out of here!
1973
01:56:38,046 --> 01:56:39,681
Those guys turned out to be
1974
01:56:39,815 --> 01:56:42,112
some over-excited fans
from Peru.
1975
01:56:42,247 --> 01:56:44,650
But the death threats were real.
1976
01:56:44,786 --> 01:56:47,183
I'm going back on.
1977
01:56:47,318 --> 01:56:49,481
I'll rip his goddamn tongue out
by the roots.
1978
01:56:49,617 --> 01:56:53,387
It started to take its toll.
1979
01:56:53,522 --> 01:56:56,491
Here at baptist memorial
hospital in midtown Memphis,
1980
01:56:56,626 --> 01:56:59,628
Elvis Presley has apparently
checked in to a private suite,
1981
01:56:59,764 --> 01:57:01,468
suffering from exhaustion.
1982
01:57:01,603 --> 01:57:03,730
A sign that Elvis
is in fact here
1983
01:57:03,865 --> 01:57:07,740
is the aluminum foil that covers
his windows to deflect the sun.
1984
01:57:07,875 --> 01:57:09,513
Shock around the nation today
1985
01:57:09,537 --> 01:57:11,743
as a free rock concert
at the altamont speedway
1986
01:57:11,878 --> 01:57:14,180
by English band
the rolling stones,
1987
01:57:14,316 --> 01:57:16,112
ended with four deaths.
1988
01:57:16,247 --> 01:57:18,647
One resulting from a stabbing,
allegedly committed...
1989
01:57:18,783 --> 01:57:20,916
Elvis,
Dr. Nick is here.
1990
01:57:22,921 --> 01:57:24,822
Such a lovely girl,
Ms. Tate.
1991
01:57:24,957 --> 01:57:27,488
What has happened to law
and order in this country?
1992
01:57:27,623 --> 01:57:29,352
Hippies and radicals,
1993
01:57:29,487 --> 01:57:32,797
threatening and killing
popular entertainers.
1994
01:57:32,933 --> 01:57:37,067
The ira blowing up england?
Planes exploding in mid-air?
1995
01:57:37,203 --> 01:57:38,559
Has the world gone mad?
1996
01:57:38,694 --> 01:57:41,466
Hulett's security
is not what it needs to be.
1997
01:57:41,601 --> 01:57:43,036
And he knows it.
1998
01:57:43,171 --> 01:57:45,332
An international tour now
is out of the question.
1999
01:57:45,467 --> 01:57:47,240
What are you talking about,
colonel?
2000
01:57:47,375 --> 01:57:49,353
I ain't gonna let these sons of
bitches push me off the stage.
2001
01:57:49,377 --> 01:57:50,878
Precisely.
2002
01:57:51,013 --> 01:57:52,754
You are not one of hulett's
long-hair zeppelins,
2003
01:57:52,778 --> 01:57:54,708
you are Elvis Presley.
2004
01:57:54,843 --> 01:57:56,652
You are beloved.
2005
01:57:56,787 --> 01:57:59,513
And I told him I have to
look Priscilla in the eye,
2006
01:57:59,649 --> 01:58:04,382
and I have to promise her
that little Lisa Marie's daddy
2007
01:58:04,518 --> 01:58:07,518
will be safe while
he's away from home.
2008
01:58:07,654 --> 01:58:09,375
We're taking the show
to the world, colonel.
2009
01:58:09,456 --> 01:58:11,632
I ain't gonna disappoint
those fans.
2010
01:58:16,004 --> 01:58:18,069
Well...
2011
01:58:18,204 --> 01:58:23,032
If you want to book more dates,
we could do an American tour,
2012
01:58:23,167 --> 01:58:25,439
15 cities in 15 days,
2013
01:58:25,575 --> 01:58:29,007
while Mr. Hulett straightens out
his security problems overseas.
2014
01:58:29,142 --> 01:58:31,206
I'd like that very much, son.
2015
01:58:31,341 --> 01:58:32,747
How is that gonna be any safer?
2016
01:58:32,883 --> 01:58:34,948
Because staying in this country,
2017
01:58:35,084 --> 01:58:38,850
I can handle every aspect
of security.
2018
01:58:38,986 --> 01:58:40,449
And then we go international?
2019
01:58:40,584 --> 01:58:43,526
Yeah, sure, around the world.
Wherever you want.
2020
01:58:43,662 --> 01:58:45,064
But in the meantime,
here in america,
2021
01:58:45,088 --> 01:58:47,594
we put on a great show.
2022
01:58:47,730 --> 01:58:49,023
And what will we do, Charlie?
2023
01:58:49,158 --> 01:58:50,798
And have a lot of fun.
2024
01:58:51,731 --> 01:58:54,197
Taking care of business.
2025
01:58:55,966 --> 01:58:58,397
Taking care of business.
2026
01:59:05,015 --> 01:59:08,341
I'll get guarantees
from every mayor.
2027
01:59:08,476 --> 01:59:10,543
We'll double
the police presence.
2028
01:59:10,679 --> 01:59:13,379
You'll have more security
than the president.
2029
01:59:16,320 --> 01:59:20,187
Lord almighty
I feel my temperature rising
2030
01:59:22,196 --> 01:59:26,094
higher, higher it's
burning through to my soul
2031
01:59:28,265 --> 01:59:33,971
girl, girl, girl
you're gonna set me on fire
2032
01:59:34,107 --> 01:59:36,805
my brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
2033
01:59:36,941 --> 01:59:38,468
And when the show is done,
2034
01:59:38,604 --> 01:59:41,477
the boys will hustle you
to the motorcade.
2035
01:59:41,612 --> 01:59:43,837
Elvis has left the building.
2036
01:59:43,973 --> 01:59:47,684
Once you're in the air,
Dr. Nick will ensure your rest.
2037
01:59:48,715 --> 01:59:50,481
Burnin' love
2038
01:59:50,616 --> 01:59:52,979
Land in the next city,
then we do it all again.
2039
01:59:53,115 --> 01:59:54,481
Fifteen times!
2040
01:59:54,616 --> 01:59:57,418
I'm just a hunk
a hunk of burning love
2041
01:59:57,553 --> 01:59:59,557
I'm just a hunk
a hunk of burning love
2042
01:59:59,693 --> 02:00:02,260
It was life on the
road, just like the old days.
2043
02:00:02,395 --> 02:00:06,426
We were making so much snow,
we did it again.
2044
02:00:08,634 --> 02:00:10,067
And again.
2045
02:00:10,933 --> 02:00:12,903
And again.
2046
02:00:13,039 --> 02:00:16,237
All in the safety
of the us of a.
2047
02:00:19,972 --> 02:00:23,280
Eventually, he lost interest
in going overseas.
2048
02:00:23,416 --> 02:00:25,249
Why would you?
2049
02:00:25,384 --> 02:00:29,713
But I still kept my promise.
I brought the world to him.
2050
02:00:29,849 --> 02:00:33,823
I invented the world's
first ever satellite concert.
2051
02:00:36,923 --> 02:00:42,129
1.5 billion people in
one night, for a single artist.
2052
02:00:42,264 --> 02:00:45,461
Nothing like it before,
nothing like it since.
2053
02:00:55,173 --> 02:00:57,740
But it wasn't enough.
2054
02:00:57,875 --> 02:01:03,784
He was addicted to the love
he felt from you onstage.
2055
02:01:03,920 --> 02:01:07,184
Ordinary love
just didn't compare.
2056
02:01:08,683 --> 02:01:13,361
So, in the lonely moments
between shows,
2057
02:01:13,496 --> 02:01:16,820
he turned to them pills.
2058
02:01:16,956 --> 02:01:19,194
Priscilla, I want you to
do something for me, will you?
2059
02:01:19,329 --> 02:01:22,736
You give my baby girl
a big hug for me, okay?
2060
02:01:24,871 --> 02:01:26,702
The roar of the crowd.
2061
02:01:26,838 --> 02:01:28,902
The life on the road.
2062
02:01:29,037 --> 02:01:32,234
Calling home to your loved ones,
pretending nothing has changed,
2063
02:01:32,370 --> 02:01:34,236
when everything has.
2064
02:01:34,372 --> 02:01:36,275
Lost.
2065
02:01:37,207 --> 02:01:38,574
What was that?
2066
02:01:42,480 --> 02:01:44,622
Ain't no one gonna walk around
2067
02:01:44,758 --> 02:01:46,117
sayin' they killed
Elvis Presley.
2068
02:01:46,252 --> 02:01:48,392
- What did you say?
- Nothing, baby.
2069
02:01:51,592 --> 02:01:54,358
Dr. Martin
Luther King has been shot
2070
02:01:54,493 --> 02:01:55,773
in downtown Memphis,
Tennessee...
2071
02:01:59,204 --> 02:02:01,027
Sharon Tate was the last to die.
2072
02:02:10,237 --> 02:02:12,077
Is that you, doll?
2073
02:02:12,212 --> 02:02:15,774
I'm leaving you,
and I'm taking Lisa with me.
2074
02:02:15,909 --> 02:02:18,680
Uh, 'cilla, is this about
what happens on the road?
2075
02:02:18,815 --> 02:02:20,083
About the what?
2076
02:02:20,219 --> 02:02:21,746
Is this about what happens
on the road?
2077
02:02:21,882 --> 02:02:23,329
The girls? You think
I give a shit about the girls
2078
02:02:23,353 --> 02:02:24,792
that you sneak in
through the side door?
2079
02:02:24,816 --> 02:02:26,691
No. I couldn't care less
about whoever it is
2080
02:02:26,827 --> 02:02:28,294
you sneak through the side door.
2081
02:02:28,430 --> 02:02:29,693
It's about this, Elvis.
2082
02:02:29,829 --> 02:02:31,290
- And this.
- Hey. Whoa.
2083
02:02:31,426 --> 02:02:33,423
And these goddamn pills
those leeches
2084
02:02:33,559 --> 02:02:34,960
and has-beens feed
down your throat!
2085
02:02:35,027 --> 02:02:36,162
God damn it.
2086
02:02:36,298 --> 02:02:37,606
- Like you're strung out.
- Strung out?
2087
02:02:37,630 --> 02:02:39,075
Goddamn, I'm in the best
shape of my life.
2088
02:02:39,099 --> 02:02:40,764
Best shape of your life.
2089
02:02:40,900 --> 02:02:42,246
The only time you're happy
is when you're on that stage.
2090
02:02:42,270 --> 02:02:43,731
And in between that,
you're a ghost.
2091
02:02:43,866 --> 02:02:45,627
'Cilla, I give you everything
you could want.
2092
02:02:45,743 --> 02:02:47,435
What I want is a husband.
2093
02:02:47,570 --> 02:02:50,178
I am your wife.
I am your wife!
2094
02:02:50,312 --> 02:02:53,514
And Lisa is your daughter.
She needs a father.
2095
02:02:53,650 --> 02:02:55,610
I am her father!
2096
02:03:02,256 --> 02:03:03,537
Do you remember the last time
2097
02:03:03,561 --> 02:03:05,290
that we laughed together?
2098
02:03:05,426 --> 02:03:07,267
Do you remember the last time
that the three of us
2099
02:03:07,291 --> 02:03:09,054
sat down and had
dinner together?
2100
02:03:10,526 --> 02:03:14,400
You won't even make love
to me anymore.
2101
02:03:14,535 --> 02:03:18,498
I gift you my life, and I have
nothing left in me to give you.
2102
02:03:23,204 --> 02:03:24,669
Do you still love me?
2103
02:03:44,460 --> 02:03:48,723
When you're 40 and I'm 50,
we'll be back together.
2104
02:03:51,029 --> 02:03:52,463
You'll see.
2105
02:04:09,519 --> 02:04:11,113
I have to go.
2106
02:04:11,249 --> 02:04:12,779
Will you please stay?
2107
02:04:12,914 --> 02:04:16,647
I have to go. Okay?
If I stay, I'll never leave.
2108
02:04:16,782 --> 02:04:18,189
- Please...
- You have to let me go.
2109
02:04:18,324 --> 02:04:20,125
- Please, Priscilla.
- You have to let me go.
2110
02:04:42,875 --> 02:04:44,556
Fifty thousand people gathered
2111
02:04:44,680 --> 02:04:46,601
in New Orleans earlier today
to mourn the passing
2112
02:04:46,679 --> 02:04:49,218
of gospel legend,
mahalia Jackson.
2113
02:04:49,353 --> 02:04:50,633
Will you come to Mississippi
2114
02:04:50,657 --> 02:04:52,587
and sing with us, Mr. Presley?
2115
02:04:52,722 --> 02:04:56,792
Why, b.B. King will be there.
Perhaps even the rolling stones.
2116
02:04:56,928 --> 02:04:58,786
I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson.
2117
02:04:58,922 --> 02:05:02,129
The colonel, he...
He won't allow it.
2118
02:05:02,264 --> 02:05:04,723
You are a man,
Mr. Presley.
2119
02:05:04,859 --> 02:05:06,260
And a man don't
make up his own mind
2120
02:05:06,363 --> 02:05:08,763
about matters of conscience.
2121
02:05:08,898 --> 02:05:11,000
Come on, disk in.
Elvis needs a challenge
2122
02:05:11,136 --> 02:05:12,501
to get back on track.
2123
02:05:12,636 --> 02:05:15,043
Why won't the colonel
let him go overseas?
2124
02:05:15,178 --> 02:05:16,939
- Security, Jerry. You know that.
- Bullshit!
2125
02:05:17,074 --> 02:05:19,316
The colonel's killing his
greatest asset without a reason.
2126
02:05:19,340 --> 02:05:21,077
So what is the reason?
2127
02:05:21,212 --> 02:05:23,783
Colonel always has his reasons.
2128
02:05:23,918 --> 02:05:25,778
I'm not at Liberty to divulge
2129
02:05:25,913 --> 02:05:27,614
personal information
about Mr. Parker.
2130
02:05:27,748 --> 02:05:29,747
He lied.
2131
02:05:29,883 --> 02:05:31,331
There wasn't gonna be
an international tour
2132
02:05:31,355 --> 02:05:32,717
'cause he can't leave
the country.
2133
02:05:32,852 --> 02:05:34,955
He's got no citizenship,
no official identity.
2134
02:05:35,090 --> 02:05:36,389
He doesn't exist.
2135
02:05:36,525 --> 02:05:39,690
There never was
a colonel Tom Parker.
2136
02:05:39,825 --> 02:05:41,586
What are you
talking about, Jerry?
2137
02:05:42,960 --> 02:05:44,342
Hey, whoa, whoa!
2138
02:05:44,366 --> 02:05:45,408
Get him an ice bucket!
2139
02:05:49,908 --> 02:05:51,237
Colonel's a smart man.
2140
02:05:51,372 --> 02:05:52,675
There's got to be
another reason.
2141
02:05:52,810 --> 02:05:54,009
Come on, man!
2142
02:05:54,144 --> 02:05:55,570
I will stay here at home,
2143
02:05:55,705 --> 02:05:57,776
and I will work
and I will worry.
2144
02:05:57,911 --> 02:06:00,241
I mean, why the
colonel kept turning them down,
2145
02:06:00,377 --> 02:06:01,377
I have no idea, man.
2146
02:06:02,985 --> 02:06:04,416
Get out of the way!
2147
02:06:06,455 --> 02:06:10,256
Now, you listen to me.
The only thing that matters...
2148
02:06:10,391 --> 02:06:13,419
Is that that man
gets up on that stage tonight.
2149
02:06:15,088 --> 02:06:17,999
If he was my son,
I'd put him in a hospital.
2150
02:06:22,536 --> 02:06:25,632
Well, of course, this is
a Presley enterprises decision.
2151
02:06:26,573 --> 02:06:27,898
Vernon?
2152
02:06:29,303 --> 02:06:31,836
Well... um...
2153
02:06:32,878 --> 02:06:35,144
Well, what can you...
2154
02:06:35,279 --> 02:06:37,478
What can you do for him,
Dr. Nick?
2155
02:06:39,780 --> 02:06:46,552
His truth is marching on
2156
02:06:51,797 --> 02:06:57,397
His truth is marching on
2157
02:07:11,880 --> 02:07:14,006
Thank you. Thank you.
2158
02:07:14,141 --> 02:07:16,222
Now he's gonna ask the house
lights to be brought up,
2159
02:07:16,283 --> 02:07:17,645
'cause we've been
looking at him.
2160
02:07:17,781 --> 02:07:19,612
He wants to look at us now.
He loves this.
2161
02:07:19,748 --> 02:07:21,189
I'd like to turn
the house lights up,
2162
02:07:21,253 --> 02:07:23,050
- ladies and gentlemen.
- Eh?
2163
02:07:23,185 --> 02:07:25,988
'Cause now that you've seen me,
I'd like to take a look at you.
2164
02:07:28,756 --> 02:07:30,964
Oh, you're beautiful.
Thank you.
2165
02:07:31,099 --> 02:07:32,692
He'll mention the vips
that are here.
2166
02:07:32,828 --> 02:07:34,899
We've got some high-rollers
in here tonight.
2167
02:07:35,034 --> 02:07:36,330
Get ready for the spotlight.
2168
02:07:36,466 --> 02:07:39,828
Mr. International hotel
himself.
2169
02:07:39,963 --> 02:07:42,201
- Thank you.
- Ah, there you go.
2170
02:07:42,336 --> 02:07:44,769
And right next to him,
2171
02:07:44,904 --> 02:07:49,706
is my so-called manager,
colonel Tom Parker.
2172
02:07:49,841 --> 02:07:53,282
- There he is.
- Come on.
2173
02:07:53,418 --> 02:07:58,620
But I hear rumors
that colonel is an alien.
2174
02:08:01,519 --> 02:08:03,120
Got here on my rocket ship.
2175
02:08:05,727 --> 02:08:06,755
Oh.
2176
02:08:10,658 --> 02:08:12,727
Somebody call the FBI
2177
02:08:12,863 --> 02:08:15,301
and tell 'em that
he has abducted me,
2178
02:08:15,436 --> 02:08:19,768
that he has locked me
in this golden cage,
2179
02:08:19,903 --> 02:08:23,906
to keep me here forever
with you, ladies and gentlemen.
2180
02:08:27,139 --> 02:08:29,748
So I'm caught in a trap
2181
02:08:29,883 --> 02:08:32,416
I can't get out
2182
02:08:33,914 --> 02:08:37,453
'cause colonel's got some
big debts, baby.
2183
02:08:41,519 --> 02:08:43,624
Excuse me.
2184
02:08:43,759 --> 02:08:47,126
Well, this is the last show
I'm ever playing here.
2185
02:08:48,797 --> 02:08:53,930
I'm gonna get on my jet plane,
the Lisa Marie...
2186
02:08:54,065 --> 02:08:58,499
It's named after my, uh...
My beautiful daughter.
2187
02:08:58,635 --> 02:09:00,639
And I'm gonna fly away.
2188
02:09:02,439 --> 02:09:04,506
No, no, no...
2189
02:09:04,642 --> 02:09:07,578
You know, I'm gonna fly away.
2190
02:09:07,714 --> 02:09:09,611
Stop the show.
Stop this show!
2191
02:09:09,746 --> 02:09:10,962
Come on, get this curtain down.
2192
02:09:10,986 --> 02:09:12,914
Fuck the international.
2193
02:09:13,049 --> 02:09:16,283
Mr. Schilling, what the devil
is happening here?
2194
02:09:16,419 --> 02:09:17,818
And Las Vegas.
2195
02:09:17,954 --> 02:09:19,238
That's what he wants to know.
2196
02:09:19,261 --> 02:09:21,624
Ain't no one gonna stop me, man.
2197
02:09:23,293 --> 02:09:26,061
Oh! Security.
2198
02:09:26,196 --> 02:09:27,601
Security!
2199
02:09:29,202 --> 02:09:32,803
Security, security! Security!
2200
02:09:32,938 --> 02:09:35,101
800 shows!
2201
02:09:35,236 --> 02:09:38,100
You don't have a goddamn
passport, you son of a bitch!
2202
02:09:38,878 --> 02:09:40,476
You are fired!
2203
02:09:41,276 --> 02:09:43,281
You are fired!
2204
02:09:44,147 --> 02:09:46,515
You're fired!
2205
02:09:56,355 --> 02:09:57,887
You're fired.
2206
02:10:03,868 --> 02:10:05,334
E., I...
2207
02:10:07,536 --> 02:10:09,964
Colonel, I gotta...
I'll talk him down.
2208
02:10:18,482 --> 02:10:20,611
This is colonel Tom Parker.
I wish it to be known
2209
02:10:20,747 --> 02:10:23,882
that Dr. Nick's services
are no longer required.
2210
02:10:24,017 --> 02:10:25,351
Thank you.
2211
02:10:26,787 --> 02:10:28,347
Hmm.
2212
02:10:28,482 --> 02:10:30,290
Well, disk in...
2213
02:10:30,425 --> 02:10:32,820
If the boy wants to set out
on his own,
2214
02:10:32,955 --> 02:10:35,886
it's all right by me,
but Presley enterprises
2215
02:10:36,022 --> 02:10:38,358
is going to cough up
what it owes.
2216
02:10:38,494 --> 02:10:40,465
- Are you ready?
- Ready.
2217
02:10:40,600 --> 02:10:42,998
Gasoline for the first trip
to the hayride...
2218
02:10:43,134 --> 02:10:44,859
One dollar and 25 cents.
2219
02:10:44,995 --> 02:10:46,863
UN-recouped promotional costs
2220
02:10:46,999 --> 02:10:49,734
pertaining to souvenir
calendars, $100.
2221
02:10:49,870 --> 02:10:52,242
Collectible trading cards, $100.
2222
02:10:52,377 --> 02:10:55,504
Posters, flyers and programs,
$100.
2223
02:10:55,640 --> 02:10:57,671
Balloons, $50...
2224
02:11:11,391 --> 02:11:12,589
What's the hold-up?
2225
02:11:12,725 --> 02:11:15,528
Sorry, e.P. Your daddy
won't come down.
2226
02:11:20,395 --> 02:11:21,401
Daddy.
2227
02:11:39,646 --> 02:11:41,583
What is this?
2228
02:11:41,719 --> 02:11:45,390
Well, that is what we owe
the colonel.
2229
02:11:48,256 --> 02:11:49,888
We're broke.
2230
02:11:52,832 --> 02:11:55,559
Daddy, I've been playing this
mausoleum for a hundred years.
2231
02:11:55,694 --> 02:11:57,167
How could we be broke?
2232
02:11:57,303 --> 02:11:58,964
You spend so much money.
2233
02:11:59,100 --> 02:12:02,634
You know, you got the cars
and the girls and the clothes,
2234
02:12:02,769 --> 02:12:04,801
and all the...
You know, new airplane.
2235
02:12:04,937 --> 02:12:06,408
Daddy, you are
my business manager.
2236
02:12:06,543 --> 02:12:08,049
You're supposed
to be taking care of business.
2237
02:12:08,073 --> 02:12:10,736
I don't know what to tell you,
son, we're broke!
2238
02:12:10,871 --> 02:12:12,476
We're plain broke.
2239
02:12:12,611 --> 02:12:14,477
Gotta take the colonel back.
2240
02:12:14,613 --> 02:12:16,776
I am not taking him back.
2241
02:12:16,911 --> 02:12:18,518
We're gonna lose Graceland.
2242
02:12:31,100 --> 02:12:32,993
I am not taking him back!
2243
02:12:36,137 --> 02:12:37,435
He takes everything from me.
2244
02:12:37,571 --> 02:12:39,831
He takes 50%
of everything that I make!
2245
02:12:39,966 --> 02:12:41,247
And now he wants
to take the home
2246
02:12:41,372 --> 02:12:42,837
that we bought for mama!
2247
02:12:44,077 --> 02:12:45,243
Listen to me, daddy.
2248
02:12:45,379 --> 02:12:48,243
That old bastard
can sue if he wants,
2249
02:12:48,378 --> 02:12:50,173
but I am flying away.
2250
02:12:51,282 --> 02:12:52,812
With or without you.
2251
02:13:02,823 --> 02:13:06,196
Oh, you bloodsucking,
old vampire.
2252
02:13:06,332 --> 02:13:09,562
You bled me dry
and you still want more?
2253
02:13:09,698 --> 02:13:11,960
I'm not an uncaring man,
Mr. Presley.
2254
02:13:12,096 --> 02:13:15,064
Don't you "Mr. Presley" me,
you toad.
2255
02:13:15,199 --> 02:13:18,240
If you are so determined
to get out of our contract...
2256
02:13:18,376 --> 02:13:19,737
You're goddamn right I want out.
2257
02:13:19,873 --> 02:13:21,704
Well, I will personally
loan you the money
2258
02:13:21,840 --> 02:13:23,740
that you owe
to jamboree attractions.
2259
02:13:23,876 --> 02:13:25,543
Yeah, you'll still have
your claws in me.
2260
02:13:25,679 --> 02:13:26,960
You'll still have me
working here
2261
02:13:27,043 --> 02:13:28,876
like a goddamn slave
in a salt mine,
2262
02:13:29,011 --> 02:13:31,341
you phony, no-good
piece of trash!
2263
02:13:31,476 --> 02:13:35,048
I ought a shoot you in your fat,
goddamn face!
2264
02:13:36,188 --> 02:13:37,452
Who are you?
2265
02:13:37,588 --> 02:13:39,650
I am you. And you are me.
2266
02:13:39,785 --> 02:13:41,285
Cut the horseshit!
2267
02:13:41,420 --> 02:13:43,461
Everything I've ever known
about you has been a lie.
2268
02:13:43,593 --> 02:13:45,191
E.P., you all good?
2269
02:13:45,327 --> 02:13:49,791
My past is the least
of your problems, my boy.
2270
02:13:49,926 --> 02:13:55,334
Everyone else you associate
with lives from you, Mr. Presley.
2271
02:13:55,469 --> 02:13:57,373
Even Vernon.
2272
02:13:57,509 --> 02:14:00,501
That's right,
even your own daddy
2273
02:14:00,637 --> 02:14:04,110
has looked after himself
before he's looked after you.
2274
02:14:04,245 --> 02:14:07,182
Yes, I have lived from
you, too, but the difference is
2275
02:14:07,317 --> 02:14:09,080
you have also lived from me.
2276
02:14:09,216 --> 02:14:13,914
We have supported each other.
Because we shared a dream.
2277
02:14:14,049 --> 02:14:17,351
We are the same, you and I.
2278
02:14:17,487 --> 02:14:22,926
We are two odd, lonely
children, reaching for eternity.
2279
02:14:25,599 --> 02:14:28,365
Maybe you should fly away,
my boy.
2280
02:14:28,500 --> 02:14:32,339
Away from all of this.
2281
02:14:32,475 --> 02:14:36,333
But if you do choose to leave...
2282
02:14:38,040 --> 02:14:41,410
Then I, for one,
will be very lonely.
2283
02:14:41,545 --> 02:14:44,107
So would your father.
2284
02:14:44,243 --> 02:14:47,910
But I think you may
be lonely, too.
2285
02:14:50,818 --> 02:14:53,852
Oh, you see, my boy, the...
2286
02:14:53,988 --> 02:14:57,352
Truth about
the rock of eternity...
2287
02:15:00,665 --> 02:15:05,601
It is forever
just beyond our reach.
2288
02:15:33,927 --> 02:15:38,631
Do the chairs in your parlor
2289
02:15:40,367 --> 02:15:44,064
seem empty and bare?
2290
02:15:46,365 --> 02:15:50,674
Do you gaze at your doorstep
2291
02:15:52,476 --> 02:15:55,943
picture me there?
2292
02:15:58,277 --> 02:16:02,685
Is your heart filled with pain?
2293
02:16:04,015 --> 02:16:08,283
Shall I come back again?
2294
02:16:10,128 --> 02:16:12,855
Tell me, dear
2295
02:16:12,991 --> 02:16:18,160
are you lonesome tonight?
2296
02:16:20,165 --> 02:16:24,573
Is your heart filled with pain?
2297
02:16:25,869 --> 02:16:30,171
Shall I come back again?
2298
02:16:32,148 --> 02:16:34,643
Tell me, dear
2299
02:16:34,779 --> 02:16:40,719
are you lonesome tonight?
2300
02:16:48,693 --> 02:16:51,795
Son, I know...
I know, I...
2301
02:16:54,497 --> 02:16:56,491
I wanna try and...
2302
02:16:58,166 --> 02:17:01,496
I wanna try and fix this.
You know...
2303
02:17:05,538 --> 02:17:06,742
Daddy...
2304
02:17:12,306 --> 02:17:14,540
Tell that son of a bitch...
2305
02:17:14,675 --> 02:17:17,048
I want things to go back
to the way they were.
2306
02:17:25,558 --> 02:17:26,562
And, daddy...
2307
02:17:29,259 --> 02:17:33,524
Tell the colonel
to send up Dr. Nick.
2308
02:17:51,742 --> 02:17:53,503
It's a beautiful day
in Las Vegas,
2309
02:17:53,577 --> 02:17:54,982
with lots going on this weekend.
2310
02:17:55,117 --> 02:17:57,388
Those teen sensations,
the Jacksons,
2311
02:17:57,523 --> 02:17:59,086
are causing a lot of excitement
2312
02:17:59,221 --> 02:18:01,453
with their residency
at the mgm grand.
2313
02:18:01,589 --> 02:18:04,492
And for the older crowd,
Elvis is back for a fifth year.
2314
02:18:04,627 --> 02:18:05,993
And don't we love him.
2315
02:18:06,128 --> 02:18:07,822
In entertainment news today,
2316
02:18:07,957 --> 02:18:10,278
Elvis Presley is in talks to
play opposite Barbra Streisand
2317
02:18:10,362 --> 02:18:12,132
in a remake of a star is born.
2318
02:18:12,268 --> 02:18:13,811
These days,
when he's not slurring
2319
02:18:13,835 --> 02:18:15,431
on stage in Vegas or playing
2320
02:18:15,566 --> 02:18:17,730
the same old
domestic concert circuit,
2321
02:18:17,866 --> 02:18:20,038
the singer spends weeks
at a time in his bedroom,
2322
02:18:20,173 --> 02:18:22,075
tormented by his
growing waistline.
2323
02:18:22,211 --> 02:18:24,141
Sounds like it won't be
much of a stretch for him
2324
02:18:24,276 --> 02:18:26,439
to play the role
of a washed-up singer.
2325
02:18:30,079 --> 02:18:32,148
Oh, look, here they come.
2326
02:18:34,582 --> 02:18:36,159
- Are you all right?
- Yep.
2327
02:18:36,183 --> 02:18:37,788
All right, daddy loves you.
2328
02:18:37,924 --> 02:18:40,284
- Bye, baby.
- Come on, baby.
2329
02:18:40,419 --> 02:18:41,761
- Bye, papa.
- Good girl.
2330
02:18:41,896 --> 02:18:43,928
- Bye, baby.
- Give me your hand.
2331
02:18:45,099 --> 02:18:46,490
Hi!
2332
02:18:46,626 --> 02:18:49,262
- Here she is.
- Hi, baby. How you doing?
2333
02:18:52,100 --> 02:18:53,630
Want to say goodbye to daddy?
2334
02:18:53,766 --> 02:18:56,774
- Bye, daddy.
- You're so good.
2335
02:18:58,468 --> 02:19:00,937
Hi. How are you?
How you doing?
2336
02:19:01,073 --> 02:19:02,439
We're okay.
2337
02:19:21,791 --> 02:19:22,995
Hey.
2338
02:19:24,299 --> 02:19:25,459
Hi.
2339
02:19:28,029 --> 02:19:29,232
Hmm.
2340
02:19:34,805 --> 02:19:36,337
How are you doing?
2341
02:19:51,518 --> 02:19:54,688
Honey, there's this place
in San Diego
2342
02:19:54,824 --> 02:19:56,421
that you can go to rest.
2343
02:19:57,494 --> 02:19:59,161
To heal.
2344
02:19:59,297 --> 02:20:01,267
After the show, you can fly
directly and be in a clinic
2345
02:20:01,291 --> 02:20:02,332
before anyone knows.
2346
02:20:02,468 --> 02:20:03,658
It's all been arranged.
2347
02:20:06,067 --> 02:20:08,332
I'm gonna be 40 soon, 'cilla.
2348
02:20:11,167 --> 02:20:13,367
Forty.
2349
02:20:13,502 --> 02:20:15,845
And nobody's gonna remember me.
2350
02:20:18,374 --> 02:20:20,376
I never did anything lasting.
2351
02:20:22,879 --> 02:20:25,917
I never made that classic film
that I could be proud of.
2352
02:20:26,052 --> 02:20:28,185
But what about a star is born?
2353
02:20:30,185 --> 02:20:32,486
Uh...
2354
02:20:34,530 --> 02:20:37,655
Barbra... the colonel...
2355
02:20:44,232 --> 02:20:47,239
Please go.
2356
02:20:47,374 --> 02:20:49,532
For Lisa?
2357
02:20:49,668 --> 02:20:52,075
If you dream it,
you can do it, baby.
2358
02:20:54,305 --> 02:20:56,012
I'm all out of dreams.
2359
02:20:58,582 --> 02:21:00,247
Promise me.
2360
02:21:34,280 --> 02:21:37,951
I... will always... love you.
2361
02:21:56,131 --> 02:21:58,969
Hi, baby.
2362
02:22:44,410 --> 02:22:46,778
Did you know
there's a kind of bird
2363
02:22:46,913 --> 02:22:49,110
that doesn't have any legs?
2364
02:22:49,245 --> 02:22:51,148
So it can't land on nothing.
2365
02:22:53,450 --> 02:22:55,547
It lives its whole life
on the wing.
2366
02:22:58,125 --> 02:23:01,888
When it gets tired,
it just spreads its wings
2367
02:23:02,024 --> 02:23:04,390
and sleeps on the wind.
2368
02:23:07,332 --> 02:23:10,693
If it ever does land,
even but one time...
2369
02:23:13,428 --> 02:23:15,037
So it dies.
2370
02:23:18,502 --> 02:23:19,899
Good evening.
2371
02:23:20,035 --> 02:23:23,175
Elvis Presley died today.
He was 42.
2372
02:23:23,311 --> 02:23:25,079
Apparently,
it was a heart attack.
2373
02:23:25,214 --> 02:23:27,074
He was found in his home
in Memphis...
2374
02:23:27,209 --> 02:23:29,393
President Carter
has just made a statement...
2375
02:23:29,417 --> 02:23:30,978
Elvis Presley's death
2376
02:23:31,045 --> 02:23:33,349
deprives our country
of a part of itself.
2377
02:23:33,484 --> 02:23:35,112
He was unique and irreplaceable.
2378
02:23:35,248 --> 02:23:36,827
Thousands
of mourners have gathered
2379
02:23:36,851 --> 02:23:38,257
outside the gates
of Graceland...
2380
02:23:38,392 --> 02:23:40,033
Using the styles
of white country
2381
02:23:40,060 --> 02:23:41,889
and black rhythm and blues,
2382
02:23:42,024 --> 02:23:44,630
permanently changed the face
of American popular culture.
2383
02:23:44,766 --> 02:23:47,127
The outpouring of
grief can be seen everywhere.
2384
02:23:47,160 --> 02:23:49,859
He was a symbol
to people the world over,
2385
02:23:49,994 --> 02:23:52,903
of the vitality,
rebelliousness...
2386
02:23:53,038 --> 02:23:56,074
What killed my boy?
2387
02:23:56,209 --> 02:23:59,302
Them doctors say
it was his heart.
2388
02:23:59,437 --> 02:24:01,777
Others, the pills.
2389
02:24:01,913 --> 02:24:05,313
Some say it was me.
2390
02:24:05,448 --> 02:24:09,085
No. I'll tell you
what killed him.
2391
02:24:10,380 --> 02:24:13,414
It was love.
2392
02:24:13,549 --> 02:24:15,823
His love for you.
2393
02:24:18,360 --> 02:24:20,897
You know, a few weeks
before he died,
2394
02:24:21,033 --> 02:24:24,931
I saw him sing
for the very last time.
2395
02:24:25,067 --> 02:24:27,233
He could barely stand up.
2396
02:24:28,529 --> 02:24:31,204
"Unchained melody."
2397
02:24:31,339 --> 02:24:34,603
From an album called
unchained melody.
2398
02:24:34,738 --> 02:24:38,608
Makes a lot of sense. Okay.
2399
02:24:38,744 --> 02:24:43,212
But that night,
he sang as he always did.
2400
02:24:43,347 --> 02:24:45,551
With all his heart and soul.
2401
02:24:45,687 --> 02:24:47,145
How you like it so far?
2402
02:24:50,256 --> 02:24:53,621
That old voice rang out,
2403
02:24:53,756 --> 02:24:58,288
and he sang with all his life.
2404
02:24:58,423 --> 02:25:03,765
Oh, my love
2405
02:25:03,901 --> 02:25:06,100
my darling
2406
02:25:06,236 --> 02:25:10,399
I've hungered for your touch
2407
02:25:10,535 --> 02:25:16,244
a long, lonely time
2408
02:25:19,112 --> 02:25:24,618
time goes by
2409
02:25:24,754 --> 02:25:27,282
so slowly
2410
02:25:27,418 --> 02:25:31,558
and time can do so much
2411
02:25:31,694 --> 02:25:33,957
are you
2412
02:25:34,092 --> 02:25:38,457
still mine?
2413
02:25:38,593 --> 02:25:45,501
I need your love, ooh
2414
02:25:46,775 --> 02:25:51,677
I need your love
2415
02:25:51,813 --> 02:25:57,241
god speed your love
2416
02:25:57,376 --> 02:26:01,812
to me
2417
02:26:03,521 --> 02:26:10,586
lonely rivers flow to the sea
to the sea
2418
02:26:10,721 --> 02:26:16,830
to the open arms of the sea
2419
02:26:19,296 --> 02:26:26,208
Lonely rivers cry
wait for me wait for me
2420
02:26:27,208 --> 02:26:30,513
I'll be coming home
2421
02:26:30,648 --> 02:26:35,717
wait for me
2422
02:26:35,853 --> 02:26:41,185
my love, my darling
2423
02:26:41,320 --> 02:26:45,851
I've hungered for your kiss
2424
02:26:46,895 --> 02:26:53,094
a long, lonely time
2425
02:26:53,229 --> 02:26:54,773
When I was a
child, ladies and gentlemen,
2426
02:26:54,797 --> 02:26:56,993
I was a dreamer.
I read comic books
2427
02:26:57,129 --> 02:26:59,732
and I was the hero
of the comic book.
2428
02:26:59,868 --> 02:27:03,174
I saw movies and I was
the hero in the movie.
2429
02:27:03,310 --> 02:27:05,272
So every dream
that I ever dreamed
2430
02:27:05,407 --> 02:27:07,673
has come true a hundred times.
2431
02:27:09,344 --> 02:27:16,010
Are you still mine?
2432
02:27:17,582 --> 02:27:24,523
I need your love, ooh
2433
02:27:27,759 --> 02:27:30,131
I learned very early
in life that...
2434
02:27:30,267 --> 02:27:33,233
"Without a song,
the day would never end,
2435
02:27:33,369 --> 02:27:35,994
without a song,
a man ain't got a friend,
2436
02:27:36,130 --> 02:27:39,233
without a song,
the road would never bend,
2437
02:27:39,368 --> 02:27:40,401
without a song."
2438
02:27:40,537 --> 02:27:42,301
So I keep singing a song.
2439
02:27:42,436 --> 02:27:45,105
To...
2440
02:27:45,241 --> 02:27:48,306
Ooh-hoo
2441
02:27:48,442 --> 02:27:52,284
ooh
2442
02:27:52,983 --> 02:27:54,312
me
2443
02:28:34,558 --> 02:28:37,291
Elvis has left the building.
2444
02:28:53,766 --> 02:28:57,540
As the snow flies
2445
02:28:59,479 --> 02:29:02,380
on a cold and gray
Chicago mornin'
2446
02:29:02,515 --> 02:29:04,717
a poor little baby child is born
2447
02:29:04,851 --> 02:29:06,515
in the ghetto
2448
02:29:10,022 --> 02:29:13,489
and his mama cries
2449
02:29:15,628 --> 02:29:18,623
'cause if there's one thing
that she don't need
2450
02:29:18,759 --> 02:29:21,358
is another hungry mouth to feed
2451
02:29:21,493 --> 02:29:23,563
in the ghetto
2452
02:29:26,434 --> 02:29:28,904
people, don't you understand
2453
02:29:29,040 --> 02:29:32,365
the child needs a helping hand
2454
02:29:32,501 --> 02:29:37,044
or he'll grow to be
an angry young man some day
2455
02:29:37,180 --> 02:29:39,508
take a look at you and me
2456
02:29:39,643 --> 02:29:43,077
are we too blind to see?
2457
02:29:43,213 --> 02:29:49,015
Do we simply turn our heads
and look the other way
2458
02:29:50,719 --> 02:29:54,756
well, the world turns...
2459
02:30:04,002 --> 02:30:06,696
"You never
stood in that man's shoes
2460
02:30:06,832 --> 02:30:09,232
or saw things through his eyes
2461
02:30:09,367 --> 02:30:11,800
or stood and watched
with helpless hands
2462
02:30:11,935 --> 02:30:14,740
while the heart inside you dies
2463
02:30:14,876 --> 02:30:17,542
so help your brother
along the way
2464
02:30:17,678 --> 02:30:20,416
no matter where he starts
2465
02:30:20,552 --> 02:30:25,913
for the same god that made you
made him, too
2466
02:30:26,048 --> 02:30:28,456
these men with broken hearts"
2467
02:30:30,060 --> 02:30:33,329
and his mama cries
2468
02:30:35,699 --> 02:30:38,466
and a hungry, little boy
with a runny nose
2469
02:30:38,601 --> 02:30:40,967
plays in the street
as the cold wind blows
2470
02:30:41,102 --> 02:30:42,733
in the ghetto
2471
02:30:46,208 --> 02:30:49,904
and his hunger burns
2472
02:30:51,547 --> 02:30:54,571
so he starts to roam
the streets at night
2473
02:30:54,707 --> 02:30:57,047
and he learns how to steal
and he learns how to fight
2474
02:30:57,182 --> 02:30:59,110
in the ghetto
2475
02:31:02,923 --> 02:31:08,126
then one night in desperation
the young man breaks away
2476
02:31:08,261 --> 02:31:10,823
he buys a gun, steals a car
2477
02:31:10,959 --> 02:31:14,097
tries to run,
but he don't get far
2478
02:31:14,232 --> 02:31:17,962
and his mama cries
2479
02:31:42,349 --> 02:31:45,216
On a cold and gray
Chicago mornin'
2480
02:31:45,352 --> 02:31:48,863
another little baby child
is born
2481
02:31:48,998 --> 02:31:50,827
in the ghetto
2482
02:32:01,273 --> 02:32:04,377
And his mama cries
2483
02:32:19,116 --> 02:32:23,053
Summer kisses, winter tears
2484
02:32:27,992 --> 02:32:32,366
summer kisses, winter tears
2485
02:32:32,501 --> 02:32:36,867
that was what she gave to me
2486
02:32:37,003 --> 02:32:40,866
never thought
I'd travel all alone
2487
02:32:41,002 --> 02:32:47,173
the trail of memories
2488
02:35:20,981 --> 02:35:23,180
Don't tiptoe, stomp my ground
2489
02:35:23,316 --> 02:35:25,716
gotta let 'em know we're comin'
2490
02:35:25,851 --> 02:35:27,619
just stay there, woman
2491
02:35:27,755 --> 02:35:29,560
engine still runnin'
2492
02:35:29,695 --> 02:35:33,629
get dressed
like the whole world watchin'
2493
02:35:33,764 --> 02:35:36,991
god bless
gotta leave 'em shooken
2494
02:35:37,127 --> 02:35:39,201
girls goin' wild, too cray
2495
02:35:39,337 --> 02:35:41,363
look at what you made
2496
02:35:41,498 --> 02:35:45,140
always come correct
there's no turnin' back
2497
02:35:45,276 --> 02:35:47,241
takin' bigger steps
2498
02:35:47,377 --> 02:35:49,208
that's all I can do
2499
02:35:49,343 --> 02:35:52,839
that's all for the moment
if that's all right with you
2500
02:35:52,974 --> 02:35:55,040
that's all right, mama
2501
02:35:55,176 --> 02:35:57,217
that's all right with you
2502
02:35:57,352 --> 02:35:59,044
that's all right, mama
2503
02:35:59,179 --> 02:36:01,852
anyway you do, that's all right
2504
02:36:02,686 --> 02:36:04,580
that's all right
2505
02:36:04,716 --> 02:36:09,921
that's all right now, mama
anyway you do
2506
02:36:10,057 --> 02:36:13,693
we can't go on together
2507
02:36:13,829 --> 02:36:16,261
with suspicious minds
2508
02:36:18,263 --> 02:36:22,206
and we can't build our dreams
2509
02:36:22,342 --> 02:36:25,302
on suspicious minds
2510
02:36:45,359 --> 02:36:51,556
There must be peace
and understanding sometime
2511
02:36:53,029 --> 02:36:55,066
strong winds of promise
2512
02:36:55,201 --> 02:37:00,636
that will blow away
the doubt and fear
2513
02:37:00,772 --> 02:37:05,041
if I can dream of a warmer sun
2514
02:37:05,177 --> 02:37:08,610
where hope keeps shining
on everyone
2515
02:37:08,746 --> 02:37:12,242
tell me why, oh, why,
2516
02:37:12,377 --> 02:37:19,218
oh, why won't that sun appear
2517
02:37:25,255 --> 02:37:27,962
We're lost in a cloud
2518
02:37:29,060 --> 02:37:32,897
with too much rain
2519
02:37:33,032 --> 02:37:36,570
we're trapped in a world
2520
02:37:36,706 --> 02:37:40,437
that's troubled with pain
2521
02:37:40,573 --> 02:37:46,479
but as long as a man
has the strength to dream
2522
02:37:46,615 --> 02:37:53,512
he can redeem his soul and fly
2523
02:37:55,422 --> 02:37:58,288
oh...
2524
02:37:58,424 --> 02:38:04,192
Deep in my heart,
there's a trembling question
2525
02:38:05,866 --> 02:38:09,467
still I am sure that the answers
2526
02:38:09,603 --> 02:38:12,971
the answers gonna come somehow
2527
02:38:13,106 --> 02:38:20,712
out there in the dark,
there's a beckoning candle
2528
02:38:20,847 --> 02:38:24,672
and while I can think,
while I can talk
2529
02:38:24,807 --> 02:38:28,880
while I can stand,
while I can walk
2530
02:38:29,015 --> 02:38:31,546
while I can dream
2531
02:38:32,557 --> 02:38:35,253
please let my dream
2532
02:38:36,460 --> 02:38:40,829
come true
2533
02:38:44,027 --> 02:38:47,865
right now
2534
02:38:48,001 --> 02:38:50,332
let it come true right now
2535
02:38:51,373 --> 02:38:55,337
oh, yeah
2536
02:39:00,510 --> 02:39:02,092
Thank you.
2537
02:39:02,116 --> 02:39:03,597
You're fantastic.
Thank you very much.
