Bohemian Rhapsody Edit

A 6 minute quasi operatic dirge...

A bit of a complaint about the noise.

A Capital Radio exclusive...

A distraction from my work.

A global TV audience around the world of 150 countries...

A major breakthrough has been a new blood test...

A Night at the Opera.

A performer...

A queer Catholic boy from Belfast.

A solo album?

A student band doing some weird stuff.

A thousand years ago,

About a solo deal.

About Freddie Mercury and his lovers...

Actually, I'm not staying.

Actually, Wembley doesn't have a roof.

After everything we've been through?

Again.

Again.

Agree with the band.

Ah, that's only because I knew you were watching.

AIDS.

Album, tour, album, tour.

Album, tour, album, tour.

All I know...

All of the...

All right, Muhammad Ali.

All right!

All right! I feel like taking a bite out of the Big Apple!

All right? Just us.

All right? Let them be part of the band.

All right.

All right. Give it more heart.

All singing to you.

All the money, all the credits,

All the time.

All these stories

All these wild, drug fueled parties...

ALL: (HARMONIZING) ♪ Doin' all right ♪

ALL: Freddie! Freddie! Freddie!

ALL: Freddie! Freddie! Freddie!

Almost everything.

Also, um, I write songs.

Always trying to punch them in.

An album.

An end to your frustrations.

And a perfectly good van.

And a routine he couldn't get out of.

And all that "Ismillah" business!

And all these people are not playing

And around the world, it's time for Live Aid.

And around the world, it's time for Live Aid.

And bang their heads to.

And because it's outrageous...

And Deacy...

And flagellate myself before you.

And he's loyal.

And how's that worked out for you?

And I can't think of anyone more outrageous than me.

And I phoned and phoned, and then...

And I think you could do even better.

And I think you should consider it.

And I'll throw you out the bloody window.

And I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere,

And invite anyone who plops to the ground.

And it's my money.

And nobody's taking any money.

And not you.

And now, "I love you, but I'm..."

And phone up and give us the money.

And possibly, even manage us.

And priests.

And realizes what he has lost in you.

And Roger, of course. The biggest member of them all.

And that's everything.

And the Freddie we have now...

And the plane to Houston for the special.

And the problem was...

And the radio stations won't program it, period.

And then blast it!

And then you double it, on top.

And then?

And then...

And then...

And these people...

And this is the hardest,

And to think I worked with Hendrix.

And we didn't do our part...

And we'll go and punch a hole

And well done again.

And what on earth is it about, anyway?

And you don't like it

And you must be Freddie Mercury.

And you need me.

And you won't take his calls.

And you.

And you.

And you.

And you're astrophysics, aren't you?

ANNOUNCER: Her Majesty...

ANNOUNCER: So we have had

ANNOUNCER: We'll be on in about one minute.

Another time, Fred.

Any ideas?

Anyone wanna talk about the album?

Anyone's ever promised you, darling.

Anything from here. Join them.

Anything you fancy.

Anyway...

Are a load of bollocks, old chap.

Are you asking me to break up the band?

Are you aware that no one actually likes opera?

Are you even allowed to be in here?

Are you gonna leave it in the box?

Are you implying that the more partners you have...

Are you joking?

Are you?

As in "Her Royal Highness."

As long as you can sing.

As much as we'd love to answer questions about colds...

As the leader of Queen...

At the Crown and Anchor.

Author of a fascinating dissertation on the cosmos...

Back here on Friday.

BARTENDER: Here's the Coke. Coming right up.

BARTENDER: What can I get for you?

BEACH: Anybody who is anybody is doing this concert.

BEACH: Hi, guys.

BEACH: If anybody wants any tea, coffee...

BEACH: Paul, listen to me.

BEACH: Where is he? Is he there? I wanna speak to him.

Because it doesn't mean one thing.

Because it's not even your fault.

Because it's true.

Because no matter what, you are loved.

Because you had no voice.

Because you want your songs on the album!

Been a while.

Being human is a condition

Besides...

Bigger than any band, don't you think?

Bismillah? Bullshit!

Bismillah.

Bismillah.

Bladed weapons...

Bo Rap, period.

Bob Dylan.

Bob Geldof.

BOB: If you have credit cards...

Bohemian Rhapsody will never be that song.

Bohemian Rhapsody!

BOMI: We didn't leave.

Brian, that's you.

BRIAN: ♪ What is this thing that builds our dreams

BRIAN: Ah, you kept time, Rog. Good.

BRIAN: Ah, your majesty!

BRIAN: Almost?

BRIAN: Fred, I'm so sorry.

BRIAN: Have we no legal recourse on this?

BRIAN: Is it strong enough? That's all I'm asking.

BRIAN: It's America.

BRIAN: It's counterclockwise, I think you'll find, John.

BRIAN: It's happening!

BRIAN: Jim.

BRIAN: Okay. Are you happy?

BRIAN: Press the button, Freddie.

BRIAN: Really? Boxing already at that age?

BRIAN: Really? That's terrible.

BRIAN: So how old is he in this photo?

BRIAN: We need to get experimental.

BRIAN: We ready?

BRIAN: What kind of music

BRIAN: What next?

BRIAN: Yeah, that's kind of you.

BRIAN: Yeah, we're in a good place, Fred.

BRIAN: Yes. "Midday at the pub, don't be drunk."

BRIAN: You can shove your gold disks!

BRIAN: You know why you're angry, Roger?

BRIAN: You look like an angry lizard.

Brilliant. I love that.

But a cure still seems many years away.

But he wants an answer now.

But I need to do something different.

But I'll be sure to pass it on.

But it does allow you to give it away!

But it implies something else, Freddie.

But it's only just been approved for use.

But promise me one thing.

But put your hands on me again, and I'll thump you.

But that's years, Freddie. I mean...

But then everyone else was in, like, long dresses?

But then who would be left to record this album?

But there's no way in hell the station will play...

But we've had some interest from CBS Records...

But what good did it do?

But who knows what goes on...

But you can also pledge cash, and it's very important.

But you can only be there so much for a person.

But you can't ask any questions.

But you couldn't say it.

But you just got here, beta.

But you're right, I am a legend.

By me, by Brian, Deacy, Roger...

By the end of the year...

By the fact that he's let me go as a friend.

Bye, Freddie. I love you.

Bye.

Bye.

Cake is always good.

Camera two! No one wants to see this

Camera up!

Can I borrow it for Sunday church?

Can I have your name at least?

Can you answer the question, please?

Can you be honest for once?

Can you go a bit higher?

Can you just be honest?

Can you just tell me where we keep them? (CHUCKLES)

Can't get enough.

Careful, Fred.

Catchy, stronger.

Certainly good company.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheryl!

Clean this mess up and get rid of your friend.

Clever girl.

Come and find me when you decide you like yourself.

Come have a drink.

Come home.

Come in now and have a drink.

Come on! Your guests are waiting.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Coming to feast on what's left.

Comprised of nonsense words!

Concerning your lack of sexuality?

Concerning your sexuality?

Contracting something?

Could I have a second?

Could you answer my questions please?

Could you give us a moment, please, Fred?

Crazy, cross dressing Freddie.

CRITIC 1: Freddie, concerning your private life...

CRITIC 1: Freddie! Freddie, as the leader of Queen...

CRITIC 2: Freddie, uh, your teeth!

CRITIC 3: Contracting something.

CRITIC 3: Your fans deserve to know the truth, Freddie.

CRITIC 4: Our readers want to know.

CROWD: (VOCALIZING) Eh oh!

CROWD: ♪ Love of my life, you've hurt me

Darkness you thought you left behind comes creeping back in.

David, look at me.

David, this is Freddie.

Deacy.

Delilah's by the kitchen...

Did Farrokh not tell you he was born in Zanzibar?

Did he say something to you?

Did you know anything about this?

Didn't you say we were going to see him?

DIRECTOR: Number two, only above the waist.

Dirty little fruit flies.

Discussing Roger's car song.

Do it!

Do we even have any tape left?

Do we have time to stack a few more?

Do what you like with your photographs and your stories.

Do you ever doubt your talent?

Do you feel responsible for the success of the band?

Do you have any idea...

Do you have it?

Do you have something to drink?

Do you know what I mean? I need to grow.

Do you know who sold

Do you mind pissing off? This is a band discussion.

Do you miss me?

Do you think you have them in my size?

Do you work together?

DOCTOR: Do you understand?

Does that meet your standard?

Doing this in unison.

DOMINIQUE: No, I think we'll still make that.

DOMINIQUE: This one is for me. This one.

Don't be a nuisance.

Don't be so dramatic, darling.

Don't do it, Tim.

Don't mind us.

Don't misunderstand, Paul.

Don't move.

Don't take it off.

Don't worry, he's in safe hands.

Don't you think I sound like shit?

Don't.

Done.

Drive!

Drum loops? Synthesizers?

Drumming 12/8 time blues at the weekend

Dub 26 of "Fred's Thing."

Each cat will have his own room.

Ears prick up.

Eating a ham sandwich!

Eh oh.

Elton...

Er, no, I'm fine.

Erm... I'll think about it.

Ever.

Every band wants more.

Every band's not Queen.

Every song, no matter who wrote it, music, lyrics...

Every ticket's already sold.

Everybody!

Everyone up on the drum risers!

Everyone's a critic.

Except that it's six minutes long.

Excuse me. Thanks.

Fabulous, isn't it?

Farrokh?

Feel good?

Fill me up, will you, Trixie?

Fire eaters...

For me, Freddie will always be...

For one hysterical queen.

For right now...

For the first time ever...

For the first time in front of millions.

For the good of their health.

For the life of me...

For the starving children in Africa...

For us.

Forget them.

Format is three minutes, I have to agree with Ray.

Formulas are a complete and utter waste of time.

Formulas work.

Fortune favors the bold.

Fred.

Freddie Bul... Bulsara...

Freddie Bulsara.

Freddie fucking Mercury.

Freddie Mercury.

Freddie or Farrokh...

Freddie tells me that you're some sort of a scientist.

Freddie the freak. Freddie the fag.

Freddie wants to do a few more overdubs.

Freddie, he can read lips.

Freddie, I can't stay with you.

Freddie, I'm pregnant.

Freddie, it'll be great.

Freddie, it's beautiful.

Freddie, it's really great.

Freddie, it's the biggest concert

Freddie, sometimes you're a total prick.

Freddie, there are some people here for you to see.

Freddie, they don't want anything to do with you.

Freddie, this has nothing to do with you.

Freddie, this is you. Biggest room.

Freddie, we're a family.

Freddie, what are you doing this time?

Freddie, what's wrong?

Freddie, when do I get to see you?

Freddie, you don't need to be.

Freddie, you in there?

Freddie, you're burning the candle at both ends.

Freddie, you're gay.

FREDDIE: (SNIFFS) Hmm.

FREDDIE: ♪ Here we stand or here we fall

FREDDIE: ♪ Love of my life, you've hurt me

FREDDIE: ♪ There's no chance for us

FREDDIE: And do you know what?

FREDDIE: Are your parents proud of you?

FREDDIE: Arsehole!

FREDDIE: Before you leave...

FREDDIE: Brian, stop.

FREDDIE: Bye, Kash. Love you, too, Mama.

FREDDIE: Get your ass out of here!

FREDDIE: Hey! Hammer to Fall!

FREDDIE: Hi. Come in, come in.

FREDDIE: I can do that.

FREDDIE: I won't compromise my vision any longer.

FREDDIE: It's good. Um...

FREDDIE: Mary!

FREDDIE: MTV banned our video.

FREDDIE: No, don't misunderstand, darling.

FREDDIE: No, no. I've been working, that's all.

FREDDIE: No.

FREDDIE: One more.

FREDDIE: Pint of lager.

FREDDIE: Put your body into it.

FREDDIE: Quite like the sound of that.

FREDDIE: Rog, come down here and say hello.

FREDDIE: So sorry, my darlings!

FREDDIE: The BBC won't play it.

FREDDIE: We have so much to catch up on.

FREDDIE: We have to go, Mum.

FREDDIE: We love you, Cleveland!

FREDDIE: We're all doing our bit

FREDDIE: What are you doing?

FREDDIE: Why the hell would you say something like that?

FREDDIE: Yes.

FREDDIE: You know when you know you've gone rotten?

FREDDIE: You want me to lip synch?

Freddie!

Freddie! A question for Freddie.

Freddie! Freddie, your parents...

Freddie?

Freddie?

Freddie?

Freddie.

Freddie.

Freddie...

Freddie's note. Sorry.

From a woman in Belgium.

From all the other wannabe rock stars I meet?

From EMI saw us recording.

From now on, I dub thee "Miami Beach."

From now on...

From what?

Fruit flies.

Fuss about it or frown about it, or, worst of all...

Galileo?

Gave our demo to John Reid.

Gay er?

Genius.

Genuinely countless. Uh...

Get dressed.

Get it to people who are dying of starvation.

Get out of this car. You're fired.

Get out, you treacherous piss flap.

Get out!

Get up.

Get up.

Get your ass out of my car now.

Get your ass out of my car! Get out!

GIRL 1: Yeah.

Give it more treble.

Give it to me one more time!

Give your mother a kiss.

Go get it. Pour yourself something.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Good thoughts, good words, good deeds.

Good thoughts, good words, good deeds.

Good thoughts, good words, good deeds.

Good.

Got a new passport and everything.

Got it?

Got what?

Gotta give it a go.

Hans. Everyone, come in.

Has been discovered...

Have fights...

Have you got a little taste of the new record?

He couldn't find me.

He doesn't have the same passion about music.

He has a little tour in mind for us.

He is working himself to the bone.

He looks after Elton John.

He loves you.

He was quite a good boxer, actually.

He was too wild and unruly.

He's a dentist.

He's booked us a tour of America.

He's got a big ass, too!

He's so small.

He's Trixie now...

He's working day and night, constantly.

Hello, all you beautiful people.

Hello, everybody.

Hello, Live Aid.

Hello, Mary. How's your dad?

Hello, my love.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Live Aid.

Hello.

Hello.

Hey, watch it! I'll run your ass over!

Hey.

Hi, guys. How's it going?

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

His lovers were countless.

His opponents went for his teeth

Hmm, right.

Hmm, where are you going?

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm. You wrote that?

Home.

Homework.

How about demos? You got some?

How about you, uh...

How are you?

How beautiful you are.

How bizarre.

How could I?

How could you?

How does your new song go, then, hmm?

How have you been, Freddie?

How long can that last?

How many Jim Huttons there are in London?

How much do they love him?

How much do you think we can get for this van?

How much?

How was that?

How would you describe him inside as a person?

Huh?

Humpy Bong?

Humpy Bong? Are you joking?

Humpy Bong.

I actually think the single's Love of My Life.

I blame myself.

I called to convince him to squeeze you guys

I can call.

I can't tell you how long I have waited for Farrokh...

I can't. Wife, kids, you know.

I changed it legally.

I could do with a friend.

I could give you their names.

I couldn't sing off key if I tried.

I deserve your fury.

I did.

I didn't know Freddie knew Kenny so well.

I didn't know if they understood a thing

I didn't know it was fancy dress, Fred.

I didn't mean it.

I didn't mean to offend you. I'm sorry.

I didn't wanna waste your time.

I do have to say the tape is wearing out.

I don't believe this.

I don't care if you're shit faced.

I don't dance, Freddie.

I don't have time to be their victim...

I don't know what you're talking about, John.

I don't know, I haven't figured out love yet.

I don't know. It could be a flop.

I don't need anyone.

I don't think it should really matter, do you?

I don't think you're gonna be able to see

I don't understand why we can't simply perform live.

I enjoyed the show.

I find them intolerable.

I forgive you.

I had a cold last week, if anyone cares.

I happen to know that's not true, is it?

I have an announcement.

I have.

I have.

I have...

I hired a bunch of guys.

I hope that they are.

I hope you're joking.

I just didn't want to admit it.

I just didn't want to travel with something so valuable.

I just haven't heard from you in so long,

I just wanted to know whether they were proud of you.

I just wish you were here to see it.

I knew Freddie when he did Bohemian Rhapsody.

I know I'm late. What did I miss?

I know that, and...

I know what it's like...

I know what you mean.

I know where... Knock, knock.

I know who you are, Freddie Mercury.

I know you, Freddie Mercury.

I know, I know where it is.

I like formulas.

I like opera.

I like you, too, Freddie.

I like you.

I like your coat.

I live in Britain. I don't want to stand out.

I love a man in uniform.

I love it.

I love it.

I love you, Freddie.

I love you.

I love your style.

I may work for you tonight...

I mean, it was deafening, but it was wonderful.

I mean, Queen...

I mean, whose song gets on the album...

I mean, you must all want a break from all the arguments.

I miss you so much.

I need a few more of these for that.

I need the love of my life.

I need to reconnect with the mothership.

I need you to do something for me.

I need you.

I need you.

I need...

I paid for this record, so I say what goes!

I pity your wife if you think six minutes is forever.

I put my heart and soul into this song.

I said get out.

I see you and Paul are getting along quite well.

I see.

I sent Farrokh away to make a good Parsee boy of him.

I sound like shit.

I still love you.

I studied electrical engineering.

I study design here.

I suppose.

I surely don't think so.

I think he's gay.

I think I'm bisexual.

I think it's beautiful.

I think my father would rather see me dead...

I think we should all take more risks.

I thought Freddie was born in London.

I thought you might like this.

I told them exactly what I wanted them to do...

I understand that it's the policy of the BBC.

I used to run around the house and hide and...

I wanna give the audience a song that they can perform.

I wanna know how much they paid you...

I want the energy in the clubs.

I want to do something different.

I want to encourage that, so...

I want you in my life.

I want you out of my life.

I want you to go to your bedroom window.

I want you to shake the freak tree

I wanted you to hear it from me.

I warned him against it.

I was born with four additional incisors.

I was saying.

I was trying to talk to you, but...

I went to Munich.

I will certainly tell him you called.

I will. Love you.

I wish I knew you were coming to stay.

I won't do that again, all right?

I wonder, what do they make of your public persona?

I wouldn't mind a beer.

I...

I'd have scrubbed the place.

I'd like to speak about the album.

I'll always look after you.

I'll be home soon, darling.

I'll blow you a kiss

I'll consider your offer.

I'll do it.

I'll do that. We good to go?

I'll make it better.

I'll see you after.

I'll start.

I'll tell you what it is.

I'm a performer, darling, not a Swiss train conductor.

I'm always up for that, Fred.

I'm blue in the face trying to get him to take a break.

I'm exactly the person I was always meant to be.

I'm frightened.

I'm going to be late.

I'm going to be late.

I'm going to be what I was born to be.

I'm going to... (CHUCKLES)

I'm gonna take care of you now, Freddie.

I'm good with the flagellation.

I'm happy for you, Mary.

I'm in Love with My Car.

I'm just a musical prostitute, my dear.

I'm just pointing out what awaits you if you go solo.

I'm never touring in the U.S. again.

I'm not afraid of anything.

I'm not entirely sure...

I'm not even hurt

I'm not from ****stan.

I'm not hungry, Mum.

I'm not lying about anything. I just, I'm...

I'm not the leader of Queen, I'm only the lead singer.

I'm really not supposed to.

I'm relieved.

I'm sick of it.

I'm sorry! Freddie, come back!

I'm tired of the bloody anthems.

I'm tired of touring. Aren't you?

I've been a bit lost, to be honest.

I've been conceited...

I've been following you for a while, actually.

I've been hideous.

I've been thinking about it a lot.

I've got a promotional tour of Japan in mind.

I've got an idea to involve them a little bit more.

I've got better things to do with my Saturday nights.

I've got it.

I've gotta make an impression, darling.

I've known for a while now.

I've signed a deal with CBS Records.

If any of you...

If anyone's got any questions about the music?

If I can get you on the radio...

If I go any higher, only dogs will hear me.

If I'm on my own here, then I apologize.

If it goes well, if it happens...

If they're not careful...

If you all can just shut up and play.

If you bore me with your sympathy...

If you say so.

If you say so.

If you say so.

If you were any more dull, you'd be Deacy.

If you'll let me.

Imagine...

In fact, I've had an offer from CBS Records.

In fact, no one will play it on the radio...

In fact...

In Philadelphia and London.

In your song Life Is Real,

Inside the inscrutable mind of the recording artist?

Into the lineup for the Live Aid concert...

Is that if we wake up the day after this concert...

Is that music...

Is that still...

Is that what you think?

Is that what you want, Freddie?

Is this what they hoped for?

Is when I'm with you.

Isn't afraid of a little risk?

Isn't it amazing?

Isolated the virus in 1983...

It can't take much more.

It gives us enormous pleasure to introduce the next combo...

It ruins the mystery if everything's explained.

It was a hit.

It was before Freddie went off to boarding school.

It was like talking to my father.

It was the largest paying audience in history.

It'll be an embarrassment.

It's a 20 minute set. Everyone gets the same.

It's a band decision, Bohemian Rhapsody.

It's a bloody masterpiece.

It's a different matter in the court

It's a lot of money for you, Fred,

It's a metaphor, Brian.

It's a pleasure to meet you, David.

It's a rock and roll record...

It's a televised concert for the famine in Ethiopia.

It's almost perfect.

It's beautiful! Love it!

It's beautiful.

It's better than any album

It's between us.

It's by Queen.
