BOY, I COULD LISTEN TO HIM BEAT OUT THOSE BLUES FOR HOURS! THE BOSS CATCHES YOU HERE, HE'LL BEAT 'EM OUT ON YOUR HEAD! AW, JIGGER, YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME HERE.
YOU COULD HAVE A BAND OF YOUR OWN. YOU ON THE PIANO, PEPPI ON THE DRUMS, ME ON THE CLARINET, AND MAYBE A FEW GUYS THAT FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT MUSIC THAT WE DO. I'M GOOD, JIGGER. YOU KNOW I'M GOOD, DON'T YOU? LIGHT ME A CIGARETTE, WILL YOU, KID? OK, HERE'S YOUR BUTT. HE DON'T LIKE ME.
AW, HE LIKES YOU. HEY JIGGER, YOU'RE BREAKING NICKIE'S HEART. HE'S WORRIED YOU DON'T LIKE HIM NO MORE. SURE, I LIKE YOU, KID. THEN WHY DON'T YOU LISTEN TO ME? I'M LISTENING. I DON'T WANNA BE A LAWYER, JIGGER.
I GOT 3 BROTHERS WHO ARE LAWYERS... THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ONE FAMILY. MY MOM OUGHT TO BE SATISFIED WITH THAT. ALL I WANNA DO IS TO PLAY THE CLARINET. Man: HEY, YOU! CAN THAT MUSIC! CAN IT, I SAID! I GOT A REQUEST! DO YOU KNOW, * I'M FOREVER BLOWIN' BUBBLES * LOOK, YOU JUKEBUG, IF YOU DON'T PLAY I'M FOREVER BLOWIN' BUBBLES, I'LL STUFF YOUR HEAD INTO THAT PIANO, AND I MEAN IT! HEY, NICKIE, GET JOE, GET THE BOSS. THERE'S GONNA BE TROUBLE! I KNOW JIGGER WHEN HE'S QUIET LIKE THIS.

THIS DRUNK COMES OVER AND INSULTS HIS MUSIC! SO HE INSULTS HIS MUSIC. WHAT IS THIS, CARNEGIE HA... HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? I ASK THIS GUY TO PLAY A NUMBER FOR ME, AND THE FIRST THING I KNOW, HE UP AND SOCKS ME. IT'S NOT TRUE! IT'S ALL HIS FAULT! KEEP OUT OF IT! HE STARTED IT! YOU, PIANO PLAYER! LISTEN TO ME! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT? THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT EVEN IF HE SPITS IN YOUR FACE! YOU HEAR THAT? I'M THE CUSTOMER, I'M ALWAYS RIGHT! PLAY, MONKEY! * I'M FOREVER BLOWIN' BUBBLES * HEY YOU! WHAT KIND OF A TONE I CAN GET OUT OF YOU! OPERATOR! OPERATOR! GET ME THE POLICE STATION! Man, on radio: CALLING CAR 19. RIOT CALL. ST. LOUIS CAFE. THAT IS ALL.
HELLO, MOM? THIS IS NICKIE. YOUR SON, NICKIE. GUESS WHERE I AM, MOM! - YOUR NAME? - JIGGER PINE. NO, MOM, YOU'RE WRONG! I'M IN... I'm in jail! - OCCUPATION? - MUSICIAN. HEY, MOM! MOM! WHAT'S THE MATTER, NICKIE? SHE HANG UP ON YOU? NO, I THINK SHE FAINTED! HELLO, MOM? - AGE? - 28. NO, MOM, I'M NOT KIDDING.
I'M REALLY IN JAIL. I GOT INTO A FIGHT. LAST KNOWN RESIDENCE? EVANSTON HOTEL. HEY, LOOK, MOM. I KNOW I SAID I WAS STUDYING. MOM, I'LL EXPLAIN IT ALL TO YOU WHEN YOU GET DOWN HERE. THE CLARK AVENUE POLICE STATION.
AND, MOM, BRING PLENTY OF MONEY DOWN WITH YOU. WELL...WELL, YOU SEE, I'M HERE WITH SOME FRIENDS. OK! HEY, BOYS, WELL BE OUT OF HERE IN AN HOUR. I KNOW MY MOM. Man: THIS WAY. I'M COMING, SWEETHEART I'M COMING.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S ALL. TAKE THEM AWAY. WELL, WHAT DID I TELL YOU, BOYS? DID I GET YOU OUT OF HERE, HUH? ST. LOUIS FROM A JAIL WINDOW. YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HAD A GOOD LOOK AT THIS JOINT SINCE WE GOT HERE. WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF TOWNS IN THIS COUNTRY FROM JAIL WINDOWS, HUH, JIGGER? Nickie: WELL, FROM NOW ON, YOU GUYS ARE GONNA HAVE AN AWFULLY TOUGH TIME GETTING RID OF ME. HEY, YOU! AM I SEEING DOUBLE, OR IS THAT JIGGER PINE? PETE! PETE! JIGGER! I WAS ASLEEP WHEN I HEARD YOUR VOICE. I THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A PLEASANT DREAM.
WHY, YOU OLD SON OF A GUN, AM I GLAD TO SEE YOU! HEY, PEPPI, NICKIE. THIS IS PETE. MY FRIEND PETE. Peppi: HI. WE PLAYED 16 WEEKS TOGETHER ONCE, HOW ARE YOU? IN DUBUQUE. HE SLAPS THE GREATEST DOGHOUSE YOU EVER HEARD. AH! Man: QUIET! PIPE DOWN! HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? OH, WE GOT KICKED OUT OF SOME 2-BY-4 CAFE.
HOW ABOUT YOU? AH, IT'S LIKE HOME TO ME. NO SOONER DO I GET OUT OF HERE, THEN THAT EX-WIFE OF MINE SICS THE BLOODHOUNDS ON ME, AND IN I AM AGAIN. OH, THINGS HAVE BEEN BREAKING GREAT. I JUST LOST ANOTHER JOB, MY BASS FIDDLE IS IN HOCK, I GOT KIDNEY TROUBLE, I NEED 25 BUCKS TO SPRING ME FROM THIS STINKIN' JUG.
SURE, EVERYTHING IS ROSY-POSY. YOU GOT A BUTT? SURE. LISTEN, JIGGER. YOU SAY YOUR FRIEND HERE PLAYS A GREAT BASS, WELL, MAYBE THIS IS IT. MAYBE THIS IS HOW WE START.
START WHAT? AW, THIS WHACK IS ALWAYS POUNDING ON ONE THING. HE COMES INTO THE CAFE ONE NIGHT, AND EVER SINCE THEN, I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET RID OF HIM. EVERY NIGHT, HE KEEPS HYPING ME IN THE ARM ABOUT COMING TO THE BAND. IT DON'T HAVE TO BE A BIG BAND, JIGGER.
WE'LL CAN START OUT WITH MAYBE 4 OR 5 PIECES, BUT MAYBE WE CAN CONNECT, GROW REAL BIG, HIT THE JACKPOT! SAY, THAT DON'T SOUND SO WORSE. I BET I CAN RATTLE OFF A HUNDRED NAME BANDS STARTED OFF JUST LIKE THIS: A COUPLE OF GUYS GET TOGETHER-- JIGGER, MAYBE NICKIE IS RIGHT. WITH YOU WE COULD! NO, WE COULDN'T. WHY? WHY NOT? WELL, IT'S GOTTA BE OUR KIND OF MUSIC, OUR KIND OF BAND. JIGGER-- YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, PEPPI. LOOK, WHAT YOU GOT ON YOUR MIND TAKES A LONG TIME.
WELL, IT'LL HAVE TO WAIT. YOU THINK I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT STARTING A BAND BEFORE? I THOUGHT ABOUT IT LOTS OF TIMES. I'M ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT IT. BUT IT'S GOTTA BE OUR KIND OF MUSIC, OUR KIND OF BAND.
THE SONGS WE'VE HEARD SINCE WE'RE KNOCKING AROUND THIS COUNTRY-- BLUES, REAL BLUES, THE KIND THAT COME OUT OF PEOPLE. REAL PEOPLE, THEIR HOPES AND THEIR DREAMS, WHAT THEY'VE GOT AND WHAT THEY WANT. THE WHOLE USA IN ONE CHORUS! THE WHOLE USA.
AND THAT BAND-- THAT AIN'T GUYS JUST BLOWIN' AND POUNDIN' AND SCRAPIN', THAT'S 5 GUYS, NO MORE, WHO FEEL, PLAY, LIVE, EVEN THINK THE SAME WAY. THAT AIN'T A BAND-- IT'S A UNIT! IT'S ONE GUY MULTIPLIED 5 TIMES. IT'S A UNIT THAT EVEN BREATHES ON THE SAME BEAT.
IT'S GOT A KICK ALL ITS OWN AND A STYLE THAT'S THEIRS AND NOBODY ELSE'S. IT'S LIKE A HAND IN A GLOVE, 5 FINGERS, EACH THAT FITS SLICK AND QUICK. WHY CAN'T WE HAVE THAT, HUH, JIGGER? AW, TICKY IS GETTING WHAT I WANT. WE'VE GOT YEARS TO BURN. LISTEN, JIGGER, JUST SAY THE WORD! JUST SAY, "ME, JIGGER PINE, "I THINK THESE FELLAS HERE--THEY'RE JUST WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR." AND IF YOU DON'T THINK SO, YOU SAY THAT, TOO.
DON'T GET YOURSELF ALL STEAMED UP, PEPPI. BEFORE, WHEN YOU TOLD ME THIS, I DIDN'T BELIEVE WE COULD DO IT, BUT NOW-- NOW I GOT A HUNCH! TAKE IT EASY. REMEMBER YOUR CHEST. OH, FORGET THE CHEST! MAYBE RIGHT HERE IN THIS JAIL, A DREAM YOU GOT HAD SPAWNED! YOU'RE NOT WRONG ABOUT US! WE'LL DO ANYTHING YOU SAY, ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS TELL US! PEPPI! PEPPI! WE'RE GONNA HAVE THAT BAND, PEPPI, AND YOU'RE GONNA BE THE DRUMMER BOY, PEP-- Man: HEY, QUIET! LET A GUY SLEEP! YELL FOR A DOCTOR! YEAH. A DOCTOR! A DOCTOR! Man: AW, SHUT UP, WOULD YOU? SOMEBODY GET A DOCTOR! Man: SHUT UP! A DOCTOR! WE GOTTA HAVE A DOCTOR! WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THAT WHITE BOY? HAS HE GOT THE MISERIES? OH, OFFICER! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? MY FRIEND PEPPI HERE JUST FAINTED. PLEASE GET A DOCTOR! OK, KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON.
AND HURRY! WILL YOU PLEASE HURRY? WE'RE GONNA HAVE THAT UNIT, PEPPI! ANYTHING YOU SAY, PEPPI! ONLY OPEN YOUR EYES! PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? I'M ALL RIGHT. DON'T WORRY, I'M MUCH BETTER NOW. WE ALL GOT THE MISERIES IN THE END. ALL OF US. DON'T MAKE NO DIFFERENCE WHAT YOU'RE IN FOR, DON'T MAKE NO DIFFERENCE WHERE THE JAIL IS, IT COMES NIGHT, YOU START TO THINKIN', THEN THE MISERIES GET YOU. SURE DOES.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE ALL HERE. Man: HUSH YOUR MOUTH, MAN! * MY MAMA DONE TOLD ME * * WHEN I WAS IN KNEE PANTS * * MY MAMA DONE TOLD ME, SON * * OH, SHE SAID * * A WOMAN'LL SWEET TALK * * AND GIVE YOU THE BIG EYE * * BUT WHEN THAT SWEET TALKIN'S DONE * * A WOMAN'S A TWO-FACE * * A WORRISOME THING, LEAVE YOU TO SING THE BLUES * * IN THE NIGHT * YOU HEAR THAT, PEPPI? IT'S GREAT. SURE IS, JIGGER.
THAT'S THE REAL MISERY, AIN'T IT BOYS? YOU COULD SURE BEAT THAT OUT, COULDN'T YOU, JIGGER? WE ALL COULD. WE ALL WILL. BOY, THAT'S THE BLUES. THE REAL LOWDOWN NEW ORLEANS BLUES.
* NOW THE RAINS ARE FALLIN' * * HEAR THAT TRAIN A-CALLIN' * * WHOO-EE * * MY MAMA DONE TOLD ME * * HEAR THAT LONESOME WHISTLE * * BLOWIN' 'CROSS THE TRESTLE * * WHOO-EE * * MY MAMA DONE TOLD ME * * A-WHOO-EE-DA-WHOO-EE * * OL' CLICKETY-CLACK'S A-ECHOIN' BACK * * THE BLUES IN THE NIGHT * Chorus: * FROM NATCHEZ TO MOBILE * * FROM MEMPHIS TO ST. JOE * * WHEREVER THE 4 WINDS BLOW * * I'VE BEEN IN SOME BIG TOWNS * * AND HEARD ME SOME BIG TALK * * BUT THERE IS ONE THING I KNOW * * A WOMAN'S A TWO-FACE * * A WORRISOME THING WHO'LL LEAVE YOU TO SING * * THE BLUES IN THE NIGHT * ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH. GIVE ME THE HORN. HOLD ON JUST A SECOND.
AFTER ALL, BARNEY, IT'S MY HORN. THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS LET ME PRACTICE ON IT. LISTEN, YOU, I LOANED YOU 8 BUCKS ON THAT TWISTED CUSPIDOR, DIDN'T I? YEAH, YEAH. WHEN YOU GIVE ME THE 8 BUCKS, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT WITH IT. YOU CAN EVEN USE IT TO GARGLE OUT OF.
NOW GIVE ME THE HORN BEFORE I TWIST IT AROUND YOUR NECK! ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. I YIELD TO BRUTE FORCE. Man: COME ON, LEO, HOW ABOUT FINISHING THE GAME? OK. THE WORLD, MY FRIENDS, AS IT IS NOW CONSTITUTED, STINKS. TO PROVE MY POINT, I OFFER YOU THE CASE OF BARNEY AND MYSELF. ON THE ONE HAND, A FINE, SENSITIVE MUSICIAN. AN ARTIST.
ON THE OTHER HAND, A DUBIOUS INDIVIDUAL NAMED BARNEY. A THROWBACK TO THE STONEAGE. A STONE IN HIS HEAD, A STONE IN HIS HEART, A CROSS BETWEEN A GORILLA AND A SNAKE. Man: LISTEN, YOU LOUDMOUTH-- NOW, NOW, BARNEY, THERE'S NOTHING TO GET SORE ABOUT. MY REMARKS ARE STRICTLY IN PER-- WELL I'LL-- HELLO, CHISELER.
GLAD TO SEE YOU, TOO. 3 YEARS AGO, WHEN WE PLAYED THAT RATHOLE IN DES MOINES, YOU PUT THE "B" ON ME FOR 5 BUCKS. HOW ABOUT IT? HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS GUY? I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM FOR 3 YEARS. THE FIRST THING HE THINKS ABOUT IS A MEASLY 5 BUCKS. WHY DON'T YOU ASK ME HOW I AM, HOW I FEEL, WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING? HOW ARE YOU? HOW DO YOU FEEL? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING? HAVE YOU GOT THE 5 BUCKS? NO. HAVE YOU GOT A JOB? NO.
DO YOU WANT TO GO TO WORK? I DON'T WANT TO, BUT I HAVE TO. WE'RE STARTING A UNIT. YOU AND 10,000 OTHER MUSICIANS. THIS UNIT IS GONNA BE DIFFERENT! YEAH, WHY? BECAUSE WE'RE GREAT! YOU AIN'T MODEST.
HEY, LOOK, WHY SHOULD WE LIE? I'M HERE TO SAY THIS BOY PLAYS THE MUSIC BOX IN THE MOST TERRIFIC FASHION. AND I MEAN TERRIFIC. YOU'RE HERE TO SAY? THAT'S RIGHT. YOU MATCH HIS STYLE AND OUR UNIQUE METHODS OF PRESENTATION, AND WE GOT THE MAKINGS OF A GREAT LITTLE BAND, AND I KNOW! YOU KNOW, EH? YES, I KNOW. YOU SEE, I'M A STUDENT OF JAZZ.
A WHAT? A STUDENT OF JAZZ. I KNOW THE ANATOMY OF SWING. NOT ONLY MUSICALLY, BUT THEORETICALLY. I'VE READ EVERYTHING FROM LE JAZZ HOT TODOWNBEAT.
AH, YOU'LL FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF. AS THE LATINS SAY, RES IPSI LOCA TUA. WHAT'S THAT? WELL, ON THE SIDE, I'M A STUDENT OF THE LAW. MOSTLY, I PLAY THE CLARINET. YEAH? HOW DO YOU DO ON A HARP? WELL, AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE POSSIBILITIES OF THE HARP FOR SWING MUSIC HAVE NEVER BEEN FULLY EXPLOITED.
OH, LEO! LEO! OH, THAT'S THE WIFE. HEY, HOLD THIS FOR ME, WILL YOU, BUD? STICK AROUND, PETE. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK. HEY, DON'T GO TOO FAR OFF. WE HAVE SOME VERY IMPORTANT DECISIONS TO MAKE. HELLO, BABY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING DOWN HERE? HOW MANY TIMES I TELL YOU I DON'T WANT YOU COMING DOWN TO THE POOL ROOM LOOKING FOR ME? ALL RIGHT, I FORGIVE YOU THIS TIME. OH, BUT--

NOW, COME ON, BARNEY, COOPERATE, WON'T YOU? ALL RIGHT, I'LL TRUST YOU FOR HALF. GIVE ME 4 BUCKS, YOU CAN HAVE THE HORN. LISTEN, DREAMFACE, I GOT US A JOB, AND WITHOUT HIS HORN, WE DON'T COLLECT. HOLD IT, BABY, I GOT AN IDEA. HEY, UH, PIANO! THE NAME IS JIGGER.

IF YOU WAS WEARING A HALO AND WINGS-- GIVE HIM THE 4 BUCKS. HEY LISTEN, JIGGER... YEAH! 3 1/2 OF THIS 5 BUCKS IS FOR BUS FARE. WE GOTTA GET TO THAT BARNDANCE BY 10:00. IT'S OVER 50 MILES!
I KNOW THIS GUY. HE'S A SNAKE. DON'T TRUST HIM. LOOK, I'M THE BUSINESS MANAGER OF THIS OUTFIT, AND IT IS MY JUDGMENT TO SAY NO. GIVE HIM THE 4 BUCKS. THE GUY IS A MUSICIAN. HE NEEDS HIS HORN. YEAH. YEAH. OK, SWEETHEART, BUT THIS 4 BUCKS HAD BETTER COME BACK! COME ON, COME ON, AS THE LATINS SAY, "SHELL OUT!" FRANKLY, THIS HURTS. THANK YOU.
HERE'S YOUR DOUGH, GREEDYPUSS. GIVE ME MY HORN. OK, WISEGUY, BLOW YOUR BRAINS OUT. THAT LEAVES US A BUCK TO EAT ON INSTEAD OF A BUCK AND A HALF. FOOD? HEY, JIGGER, WHAT A TOWN THIS NEW ORLEANS IS! JUST LISTEN TO THOSE BOYS! SHUT UP, WILL YOU? HEY, TRUMPET, WHAT DO YOU SAY? CAN'T YOU SEE I'M BUSY? FOR MY DOUGH, I'D RATHER HAVE BETTER FOOD AND LESS MUSIC. I'D TRADE 'EM ALL FOR A GOOD T-BONE.
BOY, THEY'RE WONDERFUL. THAT'S WHAT I MEAN, JIGGER, THAT KIND OF BEAT. GOSH, TO BE ABLE TO PLAY LIKE THAT! THEY'RE NOT SO HOT. YOU BEEN SHOOTING YOUR MOUTH OFF ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS. I REPEAT, THEY'RE NOT SO HOT.
I COULD STEP IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT AND PICK UP THE BEAT AND BLOW 'EM ALL RIGHT OUT OF THE JOINT. WHY DON'T YOU DO IT? HUH? WELL, I DON'T PLAY FOR DARES. I GET PAID FOR BLOWING MY HORN. I'M A PROFESSIONAL. I'M BEGINNING TO THINK YOU'RE A PHONY. LET'S SEE YOU DO IT.
YEAH? OK. NOT TOO MUCH APPLAUSE WHEN I FINISH. ANYBODY GOT A CIGARETTE? Pete: YOU'RE THE FIRST GUY THAT EVER MADE HIM PLAY FOR NOTHING, JIGGER. HEY, YOU'RE OK. NEXT TIME I TELL YOU I CAN DO SOMETHING, YOU BETTER TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. YEAH, MAYBE I WILL.

TAKE IT EASY, JIGGER, IT TAKES ENERGY TO BLOW THIS HORN. I'M HUNGRY! OK, FORGET ALL ABOUT IT. TIME OUT FOR LUNCH. HEY, CHARACTER, WHAT'S ON THE MENU?! THE MENU, MY FRIENDS, IS IN STRICT ACCORDS WITH THE STATE OF OUR PURSE.
SPEAKING OF OUR PURSE, HOW'D WE MAKE OUT IN THAT LAST TOWN? WE PLAYED TO A TUNE OF EXACTLY $7.43. THAT'S JUST ROSY POSY, VERY ROSY POSY. HEY, WE'RE IMPROVING.
I CAN REMEMBER SOME TOWNS WE DIDN'T GET PAID OFF AT ALL. COME ON, DIVIDE, MAKE WITH THE MOOLA. HEY, CHARACTER, HOW 'BOUT THAT COFFEE? IT'LL BE READY IN A MINUTE.
IN THE MEANTIME, SOMEBODY OPEN-- WHAT'S THE MATTER, BABY? NOTHING, JUST THE ROCK OF THIS TRAIN MAKES ME A LITTLE DIZZY. YEAH, WELL, DON'T THINK ABOUT IT. MY STOMACH'S DOING NIP-UPS, TOO. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE KID? WHY DON'T YOU LIE DOWN, CHARACTER, YOU'LL FEEL BETTER.
OH, I'LL BE ALL RIGHT IN A MINUTE. YOU GONNA BREAK IT TO LEO? OH, I CAN'T, JIGGER. OH, I THINK YOU GOT LEO ALL WRONG.
HE'S WACKY IN A LOT OF WAYS, BUT HE'S A PRETTY DECENT GUY. I NEVER HEARD YOU SAY ANYTHING DIFFERENT ABOUT ANYONE, JIGGER. BUT YOU KNOW HOW LEO'S ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT HOW HE DOESN'T WANT ANY RESPONSIBILITIES. HE WANTS TO FEEL FREE, AND IF I TOLD HIM I WAS GONNA HAVE-- WELL, I COULDN'T TELL HIM, JIGGER.
WELL, IF THAT'S ALL, IF YOU WANT ME TO, I'LL TELL HIM. OH, NO, JIGGER, DON'T. YOU DON'T KNOW LEO THE WAY I DO. HE'S LIABLE TO TAKE A POWDER. AND I DON'T WANT THIS UNIT TO BREAK UP, IT MEANS TOO MUCH TO YOU.
IT DOESN'T MEAN A LOT TO ALL OF US? YEAH, YOU GOT NO IDEA HOW MUCH. YOU KNOW, UP TO 8 MONTHS AGO, BEFORE WE STARTED THIS, ME AND LEO WERE WALKING AROUND IN CIRCLES. GOING NOWHERE AND GETTING THERE FAST. NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME WE BELONG TO SOMETHING, GOT SOMEWHERE TO GO AND SOMEONE TO GO THERE WITH. I GOT A FEELING IF I EVER LOST THAT I'D BE SUNK. WHY SHOULD YOU LOSE IT? OH, I DON'T KNOW, JIGGER, BUT SOMEHOW I GOT A FEELING THAT MAYBE-- MAYBE THINGS MIGHT NOT WORK OUT THE WAY THEY SHOULD.
AW, THEY'LL WORK OUT. WE'LL MAKE 'EM WORK OUT. WILL YOU, JIGGER? SURE, CHARACTER. YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID BEFORE ABOUT NOT BEING ALONE? WELL, THAT'S IT, CHARACTER, YOU'RE NOT. WHENEVER THE GOING GETS TOUGH, JUST SING OUT, AND I'LL BE THERE.
I KNOW YOU WILL. AND REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, STAY IN THE GROOVE, WILL YOU? I'M BACK IN IT NOW. WE'RE COMING INTO A TOWN. I BETTER CLOSE THE DOOR. HEY, BUDDY, GRAB AHOLD OF MY ARM! CLOSE THAT DOOR. I SAID CLOSE THE DOOR! HEY, WHERE'S THIS RATTLER HEADED FOR? PITTSBURGH, I GUESS. HEY, JIGGER, HOW 'BOUT A CHEESE SANDWICH, HUH? HAVE SOME BEER, FELLA.
OK, I GUESS WE'RE OUT OF TOWN. YOU CAN OPEN THE DOOR NOW. THERE'S NO AIR IN THIS CRATE. HEY, BUDDY, WHY DON'T YOU GO OVER AND GRAB A BITE. HERE. WHERE YOU HEADED FOR, BUDDY? NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
NO, I GUESS IT AIN'T. GIMMIE ANOTHER ONE, WILL YOU, PEPPY? SURE. HEY, NICKIE, YOU WERE JUST GONNA DIVVY UP THE MOOLA. OH, YEAH. IT'S $1.40 APIECE FOR EACH OF YOU GUYS--
ALL EXCEPT ME. WHY EXCEPT YOU? WELL, I TELEPHONED MY MOM LONG DISTANCE. Man: HEY, YOU. HAND OVER THAT DOUGH. COME ON, COME ON, HAND IT OVER! OH, IT'S YOU. STILL RIDING THE BOXCARS, EH, BOYS? HOW ARE YOU? FINE, HOW ARE YOU? FINE. LAST TIME I SAW YOU WAS ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO.

WELL, HE'S A NICE... HEY, YOU. HEY, YOU, I'M TALKING TO YOU! YEAH, WHAT DO YOU WANT? YOU GUYS COULD HAVE TURNED ME IN.
WHY SHOULD WE? WELL, I STUCK YOU UP FOR $5.60. IT'S ONLY MONEY. SURE, IF YOU'D TRIED TO TAKE OUR INSTRUMENTS AWAY, WE'D HAVE BEATEN YOUR BRAINS OUT. FORGET IT. WE'VE BEEN BROKE AND HUNGRY, TOO. YOU PROBABLY NEED IT MORE THAN WE DO. GOOD NIGHT. HEY, YOU GUYS.
HEY, LOOK, MISTER, WE WANT TO SLEEP. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW? YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT? I LIKE YOU. Jigger: DON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE NAME OF THE PLACE, BUT I GUESS THIS IS WHERE HE WANTED TO MEET US. Leo: THE JUNGLE. I WONDER WHAT KIND OF ANIMALS THEY GOT IN THERE. FROM THE LOOKS OF THE JOINT, I'D SAY IT WAS TERMITES.
WELL, ANYWAY, IT AIN'T FAR FROM NEW YORK. SUPPOSE WE'LL EVER GET THERE? IT DON'T LOOK LIKE MUCH OF A SWIM. Leo: YEAH? WELL, IF WORSE COMES TO WORSE, WE CAN ALWAYS USE YOUR BASS FIDDLE FOR A RAFT AND PADDLE ACROSS WITH THE BOW. WE DON'T HAVE TO GET TO NEW YORK.
IF DEL DAVIS' IDEA WORKS OUT, WE LAND THE JOB, NEW YORK'S GONNA COME OVER HERE TO HEAR US PLAY. ISN'T THAT RIGHT, JIGGER? SURE, THE WHOLE WORLD'S GONNA HEAR US PLAY. Leo: HEY, YOU BETTER BUTTON YOUR COATS--KIND OF CHILLY.
Jigger: WELL, BOYS, HERE WE GO AGAIN. Leo: YEAH, HERE WE GO AGAIN. * HERE WE GO AGAIN * HEY, WHAT KIND OF ROADHOUSE IS THIS? NOT EVEN A CUSTOMER. NOT EVEN A WAITER. NOT EVEN A TERMITE. I TOLD YOU, YOU NEVER SHOULD HAVE TRUSTED THAT GUY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
YEAH, SO YOU MEET A LUG IN A BOXCAR, AND HE GIVES YOU A SONG AND DANCE ABOUT A ROADHOUSE. I STILL TRUST HIM. YEAH, YOU ONCE TRUSTED ME, TOO. SHUT UP, LEO. HEY, LOOK, BOYS, I THINK WE GOT COMPETITION. "SONGS UNIQUE."

OH, WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT TO MEET A GUY HERE. FELLA NAMED DEL DAVIS TOLD US TO ASK FOR SAM PARYAS. WHO? WHO DO YOU SAY TOLD YOU TO COME HERE? A FELLA NAMED DEL DAVIS.
WE MET HIM BEATING OUR WAY EAST IN A BOXCAR. WELL, I THINK YOU MADE A MISTAKE, BUDDY. I DON'T KNOW NO DEL DAVIS. YOU GOT THE WRONG PLACE. Man: NOW, SAM, NOW, SAM, YOU KNEW THEY GOT THE RIGHT PLACE.

OK. ARRANGE MY MUSIC, BUT DON'T TRY TO ARRANGE MY LIFE FOR ME. SO I HAD A FEW DRINKS AND A COUPLE OF LAUGHS. DID ANYBODY GET HURT? YOU ALL THROUGH? WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ARGUE WITH HIM FOR? THE MUSCLER WANTS TO GO, LET HIM GO. WE NEVER SHOULD HAVE TAKEN HIM ALONG IN THE FIRST PLACE. NO, I WON'T LET HIM GO. I THINK HE'S JUST SHOOTIN' OFF HIS MOUTH. YOU THINK I WANNA SEE THIS UNIT BUSTED UP, AFTER THE WAY WE'VE BEEN WORKING-- DRAGGING OURSELVES THROUGH A WRINGER TO PLAY TOGETHER?

WE'RE GONNA HAVE A KID. SHUT UP, WHADDA YOU MEAN, WE? OH, WAIT'LL I CALL UP MY MOMMA AND TELL HER ABOUT THIS. SHE'LL TELL YOU JUST WHAT TO DO, CHARACTER. THIS KID'S GONNA BE AN EXTRA SPECIAL KIND OF KID.
SHE'S GONNA PLAY ALL INSTRUMENTS. BOY, DOES THIS CALL FOR A CELEBRATION. I'M BUYING THE DRINKS. YEAH? YOU KNOW, THE WORLD AS IT IS NOW CONSTITUTED STINKS. ON THE ONE HAND, YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF SWELL GUYS LIKE YOU, ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU HAVE A GUY LIKE ME, THE LAST OF A LONG LINE OF HEELS-- LEO THE RAT, A CROSS BETWEEN A JERK AND A-- ALL RIGHT, LEO.
IT'S OVER NOW. NO, NO, WAIT A MINUTE, BABY, NOT YET. YOU KNOW, PETE, YOU SAID YOU'VE BEEN SAVING ONE UP FOR ME FOR A LONG TIME. I THINK YOU'D BETTER LET ME HAVE IT, DO ME SOME GOOD. YEAH. I THINK SO, TOO.
OH, LEO, ARE YOU HURT? NO, BABY, I-- I FEEL BETTER ALREADY. MUCH BETTER. Sam: HEY, WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU GUYS? DON'T YOU WORK HERE ANYMORE? OUR POLICY IS CONTINUOUS ENTERTAINMENT. KAY'S BEEN FINISHED FOR 5 MINUTES.

I'VE HEARD OF QUINTUPLETS-- DOC, THIS IS THE FATHER, RIGHT HERE... NOW, DOC, YOU GOTTA TELL ME, NO MATTER IF IT'S THE WORST. SHE'S GOING TO HAVE A BABY. OH, YEAH, THAT I KNOW.
SHE MUST TAKE CARE OF HERSELF. THE NURSE OUTSIDE'LL GIVE YOU A LIST OF THINGS THAT SHE HAS TO DO, AND, WHEN THE TIME COMES, THE BABY'LL BE BORN. THAT'S ABOUT ALL. OH, UH, ONE MORE THING.
I WANT HER TO STOP WORKING. STOP WORKING? OH, NOT RIGHT NOW. IN ABOUT A MONTH OR SO. BUT, DOCTOR, SINGING ISN'T WORKING.
I'M AFRAID IT IS. THERE'S A GREAT DEAL OF STRAIN. YOU HAVE TO KEEP LATE HOURS. BUT, LISTEN-- THAT'S JUST LIKE ASKING ME TO STOP BREATHING. OH, YOU DON'T KNOW, DOC.
JIGGER, YOU EXPLAIN IT TO HIM. TELL HIM WHAT IT MEANS FOR ME TO SING. TELL HIM THE WAY WE WORK TOGETHER, THAT YOU CAN'T DO WITHOUT ME. WELL, THE FACT IS WE CAN'T, CHARACTER...
I GUESS WE'VE GOT TO. TO TRAIN A GIRL IN 4 WEEKS, THAT'S A JOB, FOR OUR KIND OF MUSIC. YOU JUST CAN'T STEP IN AND SING.
THERE'S A GIRL I HEARD UP IN HARLEM THE OTHER NIGHT, SHE'S GOT THE SAME KIND OF BEAT THAT CHARACTER'S GOT. NOBODY'S GOT WHAT CHARACTER'S GOT. YEAH, COME TO THINK OF IT, SHE'S NOT AS GOOD AS CHARACTER.
WELL, I'LL GO TO ANOTHER DOCTOR. YOU'LL DO WHAT HE SAYS. HEY, MAYBE WE COULD DO WITHOUT A SINGER, TILL WE GET THIS BABY. WE CAN'T DO WITHOUT A SINGER. THEY'LL MISS IT, YOU DOPE.
WE WON'T HAVE TO DO WITHOUT A SINGER. I'VE MADE UP MY MIND. THE DOCTOR'S WRONG, AND I'M GONNA WORK-- NO! POSITIVELY, NO. WAIT A MINUTE, UNTIL WE FIND OUT WHAT JIGGER'S GOTTA SAY. JIGGER, YOU HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING SO FAR.

WELL, THAT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE SUCH A CRAZY IDEA. WHY NOT? I'LL GO OVER THE ARRANGEMENTS WITH HER. I'M WILLING TO HELP.
WELL, I THINK SHE'S GOT TALENT. WHAT DO YOU SAY? I SAY SHE STINKS. JIGGER, YOU CAN'T MEAN THIS. YEAH, JIGGER, WHAT'S THE MATTER? WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? TO LOSE YOUR FEELING FOR MUSIC, TO MAKE YOURSELF BELIEVE, JIGGER, THAT SHE'S GOT EVEN ONE DROP OF TALENT-- I'LL MAKE HER HAVE TALENT, I'LL WORK WITH HER. SHE'S GONNA SPOIL EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING WE'VE WORKED FOR-- LIVED FOR. SHE WON'T SPOIL ANYTHING.
WHY DON'T YOU GUYS GIVE ME TIME TO WORK IT OUT WITH HER? I KNOW SHE'LL COME THROUGH. OK, JIGGER. THIS IS YOUR IDEA. YES, THIS IS MY IDEA--ALL RIGHT, I'LL SHOW YOU. WHEN I GET THROUGH WORKING WITH HER, SHE'LL SING GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU GUYS OR ANYBODY ELSE. I'LL SHOW YOU HOW WRONG YOU ARE, AND HOW RIGHT I AM.
* SOMEWHERE, SOME DAY--* NO, NO, NO. CAN'T YOU HEAR THAT NOTE? * WE'LL BE CLOSE TOGETHER WAIT AND SEE * OH, COME ON, KAY, TAKE IT AGAIN, YOU STARTED LATE. * SOMEWHERE, SOME DAY * * WE'LL BE CLOSE TOGETHER WAIT AND SEE * * OH, BY THE WAY * Jigger: COME ON, KAY, YOU AIN'T TOO TIRED. * THIS TIME THE DREAM'S ON ME * NO, NO. HIT IT. * TAKE MY HAND AND YOU LOOK AT ME ADORINGLY * COME ON, RIDE IT, KAY, RIDE IT.
* BUT AS THINGS STAND * * THIS TIME THE DREAM'S ON ME * YOU CAN GET IT, LISTEN, KID... I WON'T. YOU WILL. I CAN'T. SING IT. I CAN'T, I CAN'T, I CAN'T...
STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT! YOU CRAZY? YEAH, FOR EVER HAVING STARTED THIS. I AM THROUGH. ONCE AND FOR ALL, I'M THROUGH! NOW, KAY, YOU'RE TIRED, WE WENT TOO HARD TONIGHT. WE'LL START AGAIN IN THE MORNING. YOU'LL START IN THE MORNING WITHOUT ME! LISTEN, KAY, A FEW MORE WEEKS-- A FEW MORE WEEKS-- A FEW MORE HOURS, A FEW MORE DAYS, I DON'T CARE IF I NEVER SING ANOTHER NOTE OF THIS SONG OF YOURS! I KNOW WHAT I WANT AND THIS AIN'T IT. NOW LISTEN, KAY, YOU KNOW WHY I DID THIS, DON'T YOU? YEAH, TO SHOW OFF IN FRONT OF THE OTHER GUYS.
A MAGICIAN, WHO CAN MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING. LISTEN, I DID IT FOR YOU, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU. YOU LOVE ME-- THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER WAYS YOU CAN SHOW ME HOW YOU LOVE ME. KAY...
LISTEN, KAY. IF YOU'LL ONLY HAVE A LITTLE PATIENCE, THEY'LL CHANGE THEIR MINDS, I KNOW THEY WILL. WHADDA YA MEAN, THEY--WHO ARE THEY? THE BOYS. THE BAND.
THE BAND, I'M SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT THE BAND. CAN'T YOU DO SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF, ONCE IN A WHILE? I TOLD YOU HOW IT IS WITH US. YEAH, YOU TOLD ME HOW IT IS WITH YOU AND ME, TOO. I DON'T BELIEVE IT. I DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU SAY.
IF YOU MEANT IT, YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE IN THIS JOINT, HOLDING UP THAT CRUMMY BAND. YOU'D GET OUT AND BE SOMEBODY. YOU'D DO SOMETHING FOR ME INSTEAD OF FOR THEM. HERE, HAVE A DRINK.
THANKS. WONDER IF YOU'D DO ME A FAVOR. SURE. WOULD YOU MIND PLAYING FOR ME? FUNNY, A GUY LIKE ME, HOW I GO FOR MUSIC. AND YET I CAN'T PLAY WELL. BUT THEN, I NEVER COULD DO ANYTHING VERY WELL, EXCEPT HANG AROUND AND WAIT.
WHEN I SEE YOU PLAY THAT PIANO, I SAY TO MYSELF, "GOSH, I WISH THAT WAS ME." YOU'VE GOT GREAT TALENT. SHE'LL RUIN THAT TALENT. WHY DON'T YOU JUST MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS? I USUALLY DO. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THAT'S ONE OF THE FEW THINGS I'M VERY GOOD AT.
LOOK, BRAD, DON'T YOU THINK-- THAT NIGHT WITH DEL. YOU HELPED ME. I'D HAVE DONE AS MUCH FOR ANYBODY. NO, IT WAS MORE THAN THAT.
YOU SORT OF MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS SOMEBODY. THAT'S KIND OF A NEW FEELING FOR ME. COULD YOU... KEEP PLAYING? FUNNY, A GUY LIKE ME THAT'S NOT VERY IMPORTANT. I NEVER STARTED OUT WITH ANYTHING IN LIFE, SO WHAT DID I HAVE TO LOSE? I USED TO HAVE A RANCH-- YEAH, MY FATHER LEFT IT TO ME.
NEVADA. OH, IT WAS NICE THERE. FREE AND EASY LIFE.
YOU'D HAVE LIKED IT THERE, JIGGER. SPECIALLY AT NIGHT. COWBOYS USED TO MAKE UP SONGS ABOUT THEMSELVES, ABOUT THEIR WORK-- REAL SONGS, THE KIND OF SONGS YOU WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE PLAYED. THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF MY MUSICAL CAREER. STRUMMING A GUITAR AND HOWLIN' AT THE MOON. OH, GOSH, IT WAS NICE.
I LOST THE PLACE, SHORT TIME AFTER I MET HER. SHE WAS PART OF A TROUPE PLAYING IN A ONE-NIGHT-STAND COMPANY. I TOOK HER OUT, GUESS AT FIRST I SORT OF FELT SORRY FOR HER. THAT'S THE WAY YOU FELT, TOO. AND AFTER THAT, IT GOT TO BE LIKE A DISEASE.
LOOK, BRAD, IT'S GETTIN' LATE. THIS FOOT-- I GOT THROWN OFF A HORSE IN A RODEO. I WAS KIND OF DRUNK. SHE'S THE KIND THAT SORT OF MAKES YOU WANT TO SHOW OFF IN FRONT OF HER. WELL, I DIDN'T HAVE VERY MUCH CHANCE. I WAS TOO FULL OF LIQUOR. AND I FELL, GOT KICKED TWICE, ONCE IN THE SPINE.
I WASN'T MUCH GOOD FOR ANYTHING AFTER THAT, EXCEPT-- HANGING AROUND... HER. HAVE ANOTHER? I GUESS IF IT WASN'T FOR THIS HERE FOOT, SHE WOULDN'T EVEN LET ME DO THAT.
MAYBE SHE WOULD, AT THAT. NO, I HAVEN'T GOT ANYTHING ANYMORE SHE WANTS. I TELL YOU, IT GIVES HER SORT OF A FEELING OF POWER.
IT GIVES HER A CHANCE TO HAVE SOMEONE AROUND SHE CAN KICK. IF I THOUGHT SHE WAS REALLY IN LOVE WITH YOU, I WOULDN'T HAVE SAID A THING. BUT SHE'S NOT, AND I KNOW SHE'S NOT. WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU IS REALLY IMPORTANT NOW, JIGGER.
NOW, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. GET HER OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM. I DON'T THINK I CAN, BRAD.
I JUST DON'T THINK I CAN. Dealer: 8 IS THE POINT. SHE COMES TO 5! KAY RIDES AGAIN! HERE WE GO. WELL, WELL, WELL. WHAT'D YOU DO, KAY--
GIVE UP YOUR MUSIC LESSONS? COME ON, BABY, ROLL THE DICE, COME ON. DON'T YOU KNOW I GOT A RULE ANYBODY WORKS FOR THE HOUSE DON'T PLAY? I'M PLAYING ON MY OWN MONEY. THE RULE STILL GOES. GIVE HER A BREAK, DEL. I DON'T WANT ANY BREAK. HERE'S YOUR DICE.
TAKE CARE OF MY CHIPS FOR ME, CHARLIE. YOU KNOW THE RULES THEY GOT HERE. NOW, THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS, YOU CAN FIND YOURSELF ANOTHER JOB. KAY.
WHADDA YOU WANT? GET WISE TO YOURSELF. I TOLD YOU BEFORE, IT'S EASY-- A TELEPHONE CALL. YOU TALK TO HIM, I'LL GO DOWNSTAIRS ACROSS THE STREET. IT SOUNDS SO EASY. I GOTTA GO NOW.
BETTER MAKE UP YOUR MIND QUICK. BETTER GO DOWN AND TELL SAM IT'S TIME TO CLOSE UP. OK, DEL. DEL? HMM? WHY SHOULD WE KEEP FIGHTING EACH OTHER THIS WAY? WE AIN'T FIGHTING, BABY.
THERE'S NO CONTEST. LISTEN, DEL, YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU. YOU KNOW THERE AIN'T NOBODY ELSE, NEVER WILL BE. WHAT ABOUT YOUR SINGING LESSONS? HE DON'T MEAN NOTHING TO ME.
I'D THROW HIM OVER IN A MINUTE. YOU WANT ME TO TELL HIM THAT? I DON'T CARE NOTHING FOR HIM. IT'S YOU. OOH, IT'S ME, HUH? LISTEN, DEL, WHY DO YOU THINK I STAY HERE SO LONG? WHY DO YOU THINK I WENT THROUGH ALL I DID? WHY DO YOU THINK I STARTED WITH THAT TRUMPET PLAYER WITH JIGGER? I'M TELLING YOU, DEL. YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME. DEL, FOR THE FIRST TIME-- WHY DON'T YOU GET WISE TO YOURSELF, KAY? IT AIN'T ME. I KNOW THAT. I KNEW THAT 3 YEARS AGO. YOU WOULDA WALKED ON ME LIKE I WANNA WALK ON THE KID, IF THERE'D BEEN ANYBODY ELSE AROUND THAT LOOKED ANY BETTER TO YOU.
I BEAT YOU TO THE PUNCH, THAT'S ALL. YOU'RE JUST LIKE ME, KAY. YOU WANT WHAT YOU CAN'T HAVE. YEAH, YEAH, IT USED TO BE LIKE THAT, BUT IT AIN'T GONNA BE LIKE THAT NO MORE. DEL, IT'S GONNA BE DIFFERENT. YOU'LL SEE.
BABY, IF I THOUGHT SO, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE TALKING THIS WAY TO ME. YOU MEAN YOU'D TAKE ME BACK? I MIGHT IF I THOUGHT I COULD TRUST YOU. YOU CAN, DEL, YOU CAN. I CAN PROVE IT TO YA. I CAN PROVE IT TO YA. AW, YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME. LOOK, DEL, ONLY A COUPLE OF MINUTES AGO SAM COMES UP TO ME-- SAY, DEL, HOW'S THIS CHECK? IT'S OK.
WHAT WERE YOU SAYING ABOUT SAM? NOTHING. NOTHING. GO ON. YOU STARTED. FINISH. ALL RIGHT, MAYBE THIS'LL PROVE IT TO YOU. A COUPLE OF MINUTES AGO SAM COMES UP TO ME.
HE WANTED ME TO TURN YOU IN, TO CALL UP THE COPS. JUST A TELEPHONE CALL, HE SAYS. SAM WANTED YOU TO DO THAT? YEAH, IT AIN'T THE FIRST TIME, EITHER.
HE'S ASKED ME LOTS OF TIMES. BUT I DIDN'T DO IT. I ALWAYS TALKED HIM OUT OF IT. I COULDA DONE IT, BUT I DIDN'T DO IT. YOU SEE, YOU CAN TRUST ME, DEL. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU JUST DID FOR SAM, DON'T YOU? YOU JUST PUT HIS NUMBER ON THE BOARD.
LOOK, I--I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT. I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A BIT OF ADVICE, KAY. GET OUT OF HERE AND DON'T EVER COME BACK. DO IT FAST, KAY. DON'T HANG AROUND TOO LONG. WHAT'S THE MATTER, DEL? SOMETHING WRONG? HERE.
WHAT'S THE NICKEL FOR? FOR THE TELEPHONE CALL. YOU KNOW, SAM, YOU DON'T LOOK SO GOOD. YOU OUGHTA TAKE A TRIP... FOR YOUR HEALTH.
HEY, FELLAS! HEY, FELLAS! WHAT DO YOU KNOW? SAM'S GONE! YEAH, GONE JUST LIKE THAT. MIKE THE BARTENDER JUST TOLD ME. HE GOT SICK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
BAD ATTACK OR SOMETHING. THOSE TWO GUYS WORK FOR DEL HAD TO TAKE HIM AWAY. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? A HEALTHY GUY LIKE SAM? DEL SAYS WE MAY NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN. OK, OK, SO WE'LL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN. WHAT DO YOU MEAN, OK? A GUY DISAPPEARS AND ALL HE SAYS IS OK.
HEY, PETE, WHAT'S GOING ON UP HERE? NOTHING. EVERYTHING'S JUST ROSY POSIE. JIGGER'S LEAVING, PEPPI. LEAVING? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, LEAVING? WHAT'S SHE TALKING ABOUT, JIGGER? OPEN UP, WILL YA? THE WORLD AS IT IS NOW CONSTITUTED-- YEAH, WE KNOW. IT STINKS. FROM RAGS TO RICHES, OUR HERO GOES TO THE BIG CITY TO MAKE HIS FORTUNE, TO LAY AT THE FEET OF HIS LADY FAIR, AND WHAT DO YOU THINK? SHE REWARDS HIM BY KICKING HIM RIGHT SMACK IN THE TEETH! SHUT UP, LEO. OH, I GET IT. WHEN I WANT TO WALK OUT, I CAN BE TOLD OFF, BUT HIM--HA. THE MAESTRO.
Peppi: WHAT ABOUT US? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHAT ABOUT US? DON'T YOU REMEMBER, PEPPI? THIS AIN'T NO BAND. THIS IS A UNIT. 5 BOYS THAT PLAY, LIVE, EVEN THINK THE SAME WAY. YEAH, JIGGER, THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID.
ALL RIGHT, SO HE SAID IT. AND WHEN HE SAID IT, HE MEANT IT. GO AHEAD. TELL HIM, JIGGER.
TELL HIM ABOUT THE WONDERFUL JOB YOU GOT, ABOUT THE REAL MUSIC YOU'RE GONNA PLAY. MONKEY ON A STICK. MONKEY ON A STICK. 30 PIECE ORCHESTRA, JIGGER IN A WHITE COAT WITH GOLD BRAIDS. MOONLIGHT IN BERMUDA, MOONLIGHT IN KANSAS CITY, MOONLIGHT IN WEEHAWKEN.
* WHEN I GET MY SUMMER VACATION * * YOU CAN BET I'M GOING TO BE * * FAR AWAY FROM CIVILIZATION * * IN WAIKIKI, WHOO! * AND THE LEADER GOES TAP TAP, AND JIGGER GETS UP. THEN JIGGER SITS RIGHT DOWN AGAIN. COME ON, SMILE, JIGGER. PLAY, JIGGER.
LOUDER, JIGGER. SOFTER, JIGGER. OH, YOU'LL LOVE IT THERE. HEY, JIGGER. HE'S WAITING DOWNSTAIRS IN THE CAR FOR YOU. ARE YOU COMING, JIGGER? WELL, GOOD-BYE, FELLAS. I GUESS I'LL BE SEEING YOU. JIGGER! YEAH, PEPPI? NOTHING.
YOU LUGS! YOU THICK-HEADED LUGS! DO YOU THINK HE WANTED TO WALK OUT ON US? DON'T YOU THINK HE WAS RIPPED UP ENOUGH INSIDE WITHOUT YOU TURNING THE KNIFE? CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CAN BE IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE, KNOW THAT IT'S WRONG, THAT IT'S POISON, AND NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? OR HAVE YOU BLOWN OUT YOUR BRAINS COMPLETELY BY NOW? CHARACTER... OH, LEAVE ME ALONE. GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS GUY HEISER GREETING YOU FROM THE BANDSTAND OF THE BEAUTIFUL PALOMINE BALLROOM. FOR OUR FIRST NUMBER, WE PRESENT THAT SENSATIONAL NOVELTY TUNE THAT'S BEEN SWEEPING THE COUNTRY, SAYS YOU, SAYS I, STARRING THE MUSICAL NIGHTS, THE FIVE HEISER HIGHLIGHTS, THE FOUR TURBULENT TROMBONES, VOCALS BY BABY BETH BARTON, AND OF COURSE, JIGGER PINE, DISCOVERY OF THE YEAR, AT THE PIANO. HOW'S ABOUT A LITTLE DANCE, BEAUTIFUL? LATER. I'M THIRSTY NOW. WHAT'S THE MATTER, BABY? YOU WORRIED ABOUT YOUR BOYFRIEND, THE PIANO PLAYER? IS HE JEALOUS? I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANYTHING OR ANYBODY.
I'LL DO WHAT I LIKE AND DANCE WHEN I LIKE. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, BABE. DON'T GET EXCITED. JUST SAY THE WORD. THAT'S ALL YOU GOTTA DO, BABY, IS SAY THE WORD. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? SHE'S NOT HAVING ANY FUN HERE. COME ON, LET'S GO.
YOU GO AHEAD, LEO. I CAN'T. I'LL WAIT HERE FOR YOU. BUT, CHARACTER-- OK, BABY. COME ON, GUYS.
I THOUGHT YOU'D SHOW UP. WHY'D YOU STAND OVER HERE BY YOURSELF FOR, CHARACTER? WHY DON'T YOU SIT DOWN AT A TABLE? I GOT A COUPLE OF GUYS OVER THERE BE TICKLED TO DEATH TO BUY A PRETTY GIRL LIKE YOU A DRINK. MAYBE THIS PLACE AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU. MAYBE YOU'D RATHER BE BACK IN THE JUNGLE.
OR DID DEL THROW YOU OUT? OH, I GET IT. YOU'VE COME TO ASK JIGGER FOR A JOB. WE CAME HERE FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO GET HIM BACK WHERE HE BELONGS. WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO HIM? SAY TO HIM, "JIGGER, COME BACK. "SHE AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU. YOU GOT TOO MUCH TALENT. SHE'S BAD FOR YOU." LOOK, KAY.
WHAT'S BETWEEN YOU AND JIGGER'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS, AND NEVER HAS BEEN, AS LONG AS IT STAYS PUT THAT WAY. BUT WHEN IT STARTS TAKING A GUY THAT'S GOT WHAT HE'S GOT ON THE BALL, TWISTING HIM AROUND TILL HIS WHOLE LIFE IS MESSED UP-- WHAT ARE YOU SO WORRIED ABOUT IT FOR? WE'RE ALL WORRIED ABOUT IT. WAIT A MINUTE. I AIN'T SO SURE. I THINK YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE. I THINK YOU'RE JEALOUS.
YOU'RE SAYING TO YOURSELF WHY AIN'T IT ME INSTEAD OF HER? I'D SLAP YOU RIGHT IN THE MOUTH IF I THOUGHT IT'D DO YOU ANY GOOD. YOU'RE SAYING TO YOURSELF WHY AIN'T SHE BEGGING TO ME LIKE I COME TO BEG TO HER? YOU'LL BEG. THERE'S NO OTHER WAY FOR YOU TO WIND UP THAN TO BEG AND CRAWL AND CRY AND BEAT YOUR BRAINS OUT AGAINST A WALL. AND WHEN YOU DO GET TO IT, WHEN YOU GET TURNED DOWN, YOU'LL BE ALONE. I'M NOT. I'LL ALWAYS HAVE JIGGER. AT LEAST SO LONG AS I WANNA HAVE HIM.
NO, YOU WON'T. HE'LL GET OVER YOU. WHAT'S BETWEEN JIGGER AND MYSELF AND THE BOYS IS SOMETHING YOU CAN NEVER GIVE HIM, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT.
THAT'LL STAY WITH JIGGER. YOU WON'T. Man: SAY, BABY. THE NIGHT'S GETTING SHORTER. I'LL BE WITH YOU IN A SECOND.
GO GET MY COAT. OK. AND IF IT'LL MAKE YOU HAPPY, I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING ELSE. MAYBE PRETTY SOON YOU CAN HAVE HIM BACK...
