That Thing You Do! (1996) Edit

A big L.A. fave rave at 10 minutes past 7:00 in the morning...

A big show, a king size show!

A bonus.

A great gal. Imagine that. I'm a gal.

A Hennessey for Del Paxton.

A local Erie band's got a new record out.

A man in a really nice camper wants to put our song on the radio.

A record actually climbing the charts.

A record record record?

A tour?

Aaaaaah!

Aaaaah!

Aaaah!

Aaah!

Aah!

Aah! We're on the radio!

Abby, the rub. Give me the rub.

Abby, why don't you talk to Peaches, find out where these monkeys belong.

Affect your dedication to the band.

After that, Jimmy, Discmaster Studios on Sunset, you will cut another record.

Ah, Miss Elly May. Miss Elly May go skinny dippin' in the cement pond.

Ah. You look great.

Ain't no way to keep a band together.

All expenses paid while our record climbs the charts.

All My Only Dreams is on the "B" side?

All right now, everybody settle down.

All right, Anita, I get the message.

All right, here's one for the kid in the back.

All right, men, let's go!

All right, this is an opportune time to pick it up a little.

All right, this is it.

All right, try this. Here's the church. There's the steeple.

All right, you're not leaving.

All right! Let's go!

All right? All right?

All right? I'll see you in a couple days.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right. All right, Mr. Big Shot. Whatever.

All right. Hanging in.

All right. Here's the deal.

All right. Let's shove it. We need somethin' slow anyway.

All right. See you guys.

All right. Timing is everything on the entrance.

All right. Well, you're gonna miss it. College girls, coeds... by the fistful.

All right. Who am I not paying back here? Come on.

All the ingredients have to cook together just right.

All you have to do is say, "Hit me, Boss Vic Koss. '"

Alone In My Principles.

Am I supposed to buy you some diamond ring now?

Amazing. He is. He's amazing.

And a packet of concentrated prune juice

And add The One ders...

And all the folks at the fair...

And all your color and life.

And an ice machine. '"Oh, no.

And dinner at the club.

And go!

And go! Jimmy. Careful, girls, he's engaged.

And go! Wolfman: Too scary.

And he caught the show this afternoon.

And here's good bye.

And hope that she gets better?

And how can we make tonight... special?

And how would you like to hear "That Thing You Do" on the radio?

And I am gonna win that blue ribbon.

And I have all your records.

And I mean serious radio airplay inside of a week, 10 days at the most

And I mean that in a good way.

And I play the drums,

And I say you cover these songs from the Play Tone catalog.

And I think this... is a hit record.

And I think you're great.

And I wanna tell you, I've been around.

And I want you to order yourself a turkey club, bacon crisp.

And I was stationed in Munich.

And I'm beginning to believe her.

And I'm no longer your manager.

And if we win,

And last week, she realizes there's strings.

And look. New dancing shoes.

And my ears do not lie. I sign 'em. I grab 'em. And they are here.

And now, here's the star of this week's showcase...

And now... for you kids,

And play to the Three Rivers crowd,

And said the lights were still on.

And say, uh, boo!

And show up on time tomorrow.

And some peach cobbler. Now that'll hold you.

And that's what gave us an identity.

And then I got divorced in Reno.

And then we go into the studio?

And then, you know how, like The Beatles The Beatles,

And this radio.

And watch your money.

And we can't meet girls until we dance!

And we played it in the high school band.

And we still have a hit record.

And we take care of people here.

And we won!

And we'd have to watch our language.

And we're off the stage before the applause dies out, right?

And we're out here on the coast,

And we're we just cut a record,

And why aren't they here to take care of your needs?

And why? Why? I'll tell you why.

And you are the smart one.

And you just save it for all your songs.

And you were playing in Germany

And you were present at the very birth of a band.

And you will have to say good bye to Phil here.

And you'll have to get me the master recording tapes,

And you're Freddy Fredrickson.

And you're in a tough spot, Jimmy,

And your little Fifi is about to vamoose as well.

And, uh, you know, be an audience for us.

And, um, I can already do 200 pushups.

And, you know, he was in no mood to talk, so I just... tabled that stuff till later.

Any other questions, don't ask.

Anything he did on the Verve label. Bill Evans Trio.

Are showing you a time like you never had.

Are we open for business all night now?

Are you all right?

Are you kidding me?

Are you kidding?

Are you nervous about tonight's big live broadcast?

Are you nervous?

Are you ready?

As in I wonder what happened to The O neders?

As long as we make the airport on time.

As of tomorrow morning, you Wonders

As promised.

Asshole...

Astronaut Virgil "Gus" Grissom!

At least I did until some of them got swiped

At the counter, alone. Now, where I come from, that just ain't right.

At the end of August.

At the time I was stationed there.

Auditions during my lunchtime?

Aw, this is too much.

Award winning music group.

Ba ba ba ba ba ba mum mum ba ba.

Ba ba.

Back at home. So, um...

Bands come and go.

Because he's so smart.

Because I am a specialist, and you have a problem with your number 15 molar.

Because I'm so sick of talking to you. What is wrong with Faye?

Because it says you do what I say.

Because they do That Thing You Do!

Because we are a mile beneath the crust of the Earth.

Because we're members of the Play Tone galaxy of stars.

Because you were playing in Hamburg

Because... I don't wanna blow it.

Before you go...

Begins his slow, torturous descent to the loveless life that he deserves.

Best in the Southland.

Big cigar smoker, are ya? Put those back where you got 'em.

Big crush on them sirens.

Big rock and roll extravaganza that's gonna feature The Oneders.

Boss Vic Koss is an asshole.

Boss Vic Koss, the Three Rivers mattress king...

Boss Vic Koss. Who is he?

Boys, we go.

Breath good? No?

Bring him along.

Bring me out here in the doggone middle of the night

Bunch of lying snakes.

Business, gents. Got to take care of business.

But enough about me. Got a question for you.

But first it's time to fix that solid not broken heart

But hey! I got some exciting guests on my show today.

But I don't want any of this lover's lament crap.

But I listen to your records,

But I thought you already decided on The Echoes.

But I'd already been booked to be in Paris.

But it sounds better fast.

But it's not like I haven't heard your song, Guy. I have.

But look. If you get a jump start on the mornin', all gassed up...

But now I know that you don't mean any of it...

But seriously, Gus...

But sooner or later, something makes you crazy:

But this kid has heard of you.

But you still can't park here.

But you will stay with the band until the end of August?

But you'll be doing an awful lot of promoting as we go,

But you're out of the hotel this afternoon.

But, you know what? I couldn't see you

Bye bye. Good night.

Bye, Faye.

Bye.

Bye. Thanks.

Call him Shades, boys. He is the next Sandy Nelson. Trust me.

Can he jam with us, too?

Can I ask you a question?

Can I just say a quick hello to Faye Dolan who's sick in bed right now...

Can I say something?

Can we talk about the songs we need to bring into the studio?

Can you take tomorrow off?

Can't he ever get anything right?

Can't help that.

Did you hear it?

Did you know we became 21 in Billboard?

Did you see the cast of Bonanza signing autographs this afternoon?

Didn't I check you in with a quartet of gentlemen?

Dippity do.

Director: Rick! Anita!

Do we really have to go with the top down?

Do you know why?

Do you think all this British beat stuff is new?

Do you wanna buy one of our records? They're on sale.

Does that mean we get a gold record?

Doing all right. How about you?

Doing the cock 'n' bull with Del there.

Don't look so shocked. That's what managers do.

Don't mention Tele Mart, you idiot. They're killing us.

Don't we open at 10:00 on Saturdays?

Don't work too hard, okay?

Don't worry about it.

Don't you guys like The Beatles?

Eat my shorts, captain.

Ed Sullivan calls us back for a chat.

Emcee: All right, yeah! Listen to that applause.

Emcee: Oh, well.

Emcee: OK.

Emcee: This next group, they're all locals.

Ernie: What do you call that?

Even better.

Even my dad was impressed eventually. I mean

Every day.

Everything has changed, Faye.

Exactly.

Excellent.

Except for those two months I broke up with you.

Except maybe for you.

Excitement of a new location?

Excuse me, Mr. Siler.

Excuse me, sirs.

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Is that where The Wonders come out?

Extra good? No! Super!

Faye is...

Faye, I'm glad to see you're feeling better.

Faye, what is Jimmy doing at Diane Dane's table?

Faye: He didn't listen to any other songs?

Faye: What?

Faye: Yeah?

Fifteen minutes and this boat sails.

Figured that's what you'd say.

For the sign to read, "Guy Patterson Appliances"?

Forget it. Let's go. Let's go.

From Mr. Pouty to this. I don't think so. Guy...

From now on you boys will just be simply The Wonders.

From now on, you have them with you day and night.

From now on, you stay away from me.

Guy, where are your sunglasses?

Guy: He knows who The Wonders are.

Guy: I don't know.

Guy: I don't think Sol Siler's the person who listens to songs.

I I can do it in one take.

I almost slugged some girl called Chrissy.

I am so happy!

I am Spartacus!

I am Spartacus!

I am Spartacus.

I asked for a BB gun, and I've been good.

I ca I got my job.

I came here, instead.

I can just imagine Guy backstage right now,

I can't believe this.

I caught you! Admit it.

I come across this neon, sawdust dive. But what am I seeing?

I didn't say anything. I was just as surprised as you.

I don't get it.

I don't have any cash.

I don't know where he is, but he was joining the marines in August anyway.

I don't know, no offense.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. I haven't played in front of people

I don't think I've ever seen anything swell up so big so fast.

I don't think so. I think it's great just the way it is.

I don't wanna waste any more of your time.

I feel terrible. I'm gonna go back to bed.

I got a job here here on the coast.

I got a pig in competition over at the livestock pavilion...

I got that record.

I got your bags. Don't worry about a thing. Enjoy!

I gotta be in Buffalo at 7:00 and record a children's choir.

I gotta clean up every one of'em.

I gotta get a cab going to a Greyhound bus station.

I gotta go. I got a problem. Okay, bye.

I gotta pass, but if you kids need any new wires or plugs, give me a call.

I guess I'm alone in my principles.

I had my first boy girl thing. It was for a picture of you on a record sleeve.

I happen to have a relative in the record industry.

I have no idea.

I have no idea.

I have the record. It sounds like a wild crowd on a Saturday night.

I have to report to South Carolina at the end of August,

I have to talk this over with the rest of the band.

I have wasted thousands and thousands of kisses on you.

I hear he's a very important man.

I heard your tune in sound check. It's catchy, man.

I just did.

I just lost you, didn't I?

I just wanna say that, uh, love your song, love that music.

I keep comin' back to The Herdsmen.

I know!

I know! Why don't wejust listen to it in "A'"?

I led you here, sir...

I left Vancouver for Tacoma,

I like it a lot.

I like this kid. Louder, son!

I mean, truly, truly... good and kissed?

I mean, why are we even bothering with this song?

I need some extra scratch for the craps tables.

I need you down here right now. I got a riot goin' on.

I quit, Mr. White.

I really Thanks a lot!

I sampled a compressed turkey product,

I shook Hoss's hand. He had his gun on and everything.

I should have my head examined for being in this business.

I smell food, and there is no food allowed in the theater.

I tell you Hey, don't even bother with the fake I.D.s.

I think Faye gave me something.

I think he wants to talk business with you.

I think I can handle it, junior.

I think she wants to show you the town.

I think that if we listen to different radio stations, we're bound to hear it.

I think this is loose. What is this?

I thought we were going to the movies

I told my parents I was going over to my friends'

I told you he was, didn't I?

I took in a couple of hours of fishin'.

I tried to call you, but, um, well, you're in that camper.

I used to think that was the real you when you smiled.

I wanna I wanna show her That

I wanna know when we'll get into a recording studio.

I wanna know where I can get the record.

I want something peppy, something happy, something up tempo.

I want something snappy.

I want you playin' at my place next weekend.

I want you to round up your group...

I was gonna get one of these.

I was hoping to meet Gina Lollobrigida.

I was looking forward to working with you.

I was playing like one of those wind up monkey toys.

I was up till 3:00 a. m. last night, listening up and down the dial. Nothing.

I wonder how many people are watching this.

I wrote "That Thing You Do. " I wrote many other songs...

I... am...

I... am... Spartacus.

I'll be at Chasen's with Suzanne Pleshette.

I'll be out there signing autographs.

I'll be sure to give him the message.

I'll bet they'll play it all weekend, so... listen to WJ ET.

I'll handle this. Don't worry.

I'll have another Hennessey.

I'll have another one of these with no straw.

I'll pay you 100 bucks. How's that?

I'll turn that right off, too.

I'll wager that the kids and fellas here...

I'm a V.I.P. guest ofThe Wonders.

I'm at Discmaster Studios. I just jammed with Del Paxton.

I'm cookin' the books as usual, Dad.

I'm either gonna cry or wet my pants.

I'm Faye.

I'm from Erie, P.A.

I'm getting the crown replaced on my number 15 molar.

I'm going home. I have my first appointment with my new dentist in the morning.

I'm gone.

I'm gonna have to do some stuff.

I'm gonna make a fortune off you.

I'm gonna see my boyfriend's music group.

I'm Guy Patterson. I'm from Erie, Pennsylvania.

I'm in a band called The Wonders,

I'm in love, Skitch! Freakin' stars in my head.

I'm just tagging along and I'm nervous.

I'm kinda drunk.

I'm off duty. Are you happy?

I'm okay. But it's gonna be a sad hotel if you leaving us today.

I'm really sorry, Mr. White.

I'm reluctant to sign anything that has to do with my music.

I'm sorry I'm bugging you.

I'm sorry.

I'm stooping to subterfuge for you guys.

I'm sure you do,

I'm the secretary with the asshole.

I'm U Thant.

I'm, uh, the drummer with the Oneders.

I'm... going... home.

I've dragged you into hell. I'm sorry.

I've never really been to one of these things before.

I've played a lot of cards.

If he likes what he hears,

If he met Gus Grissom?

If I don't get this record going

If I have worked the phones correctly

If she spills it, it ain't her butt in the ringer.

If that's a pick up line, we're a match made in heaven.

If the big one happens, we're gonna be okay...

If the crowd doesn't go wild for you,

If we become number one,

If we're gonna shake, bake, and make

If you ever come back to Erie,

If you hadn't joined the band.

If you want a picture of me in my official Dodge Boys Rally Team windbreaker...

If you want these magic hands, you gotta buy two new record needles.

IfJimmy's a genius...

In Columbus as soon as possible.

In simple terms, he's done nothing for us.

In so long, so I was nervous.

In the bathroom.

In the history of the Play Tone label.

In the what is it the Gemini?

In your latest movie

Ira Sullivan. Kenny Durham. John Young.

Is a lot like your working with Gina Lollobrigida

Is it always this smoky?

Is it good business to let these things stand in the way...

Is it serious, do you know?

My first time in a real recording studio.

My God. Man, can you talk to 'em?

My grandma and I watched this.

My name is Lamarr, and this is my hotel,

Not too early in the day for one of these, I hope.

Nothing.

Now how many times do I have to say, no milk in the coffee?

Now I found that a hit record is like a stew.

Now look out at the ocean.

Now take a look at that. That is a thing of beauty.

Now, I don't pay much. Have you ever done radio?

Now, next up for you kids...
