Purple Rain (1984) Edit

A little song and dance. That is, if you can sing and dance.

A lot of bands make it after playing there.

A password.

About 8:00?

About every 28 days, she starts acting nice.

All right.

All you need is me.

An important meeting like this, and he even doesn't show up.

Any idea how she got that way?

Apollonia...

Are you jealous?

Are you sick?

As fine as she is, she doesn't have to know how to sing.

Back off, people!

Because I wanna show you something.

Because I'm thinking about buying a guitar.

Because you wouldn't pass the initiation.

Billy, don't worry about it.

Buddy, what a fucking waste.

But to show you that we're sympathetic to your problems...

Bye.

Can't you guys get off it?

Come here, do you hear me?

Come on, let's go.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Cool. I come get you, let you know the girl's there.

Damn you! I'll kill you!

Damn! Ain't this a bitch!

Did you hear it?

Do you have any experience?

Do you know Morris?

Do you see something you like?

Doesn't that mean anything to you?

Don't drink that. Give it to me.

Don't forget to bring a girlfriend.

Don't get my seat all wet.

Don't you like the way we are?

Every time we give you a song, you say you're gonna use it, but you never do.

First Avenue is really famous.

Forget it, Wendy. Let's get out of here.

Freak show.

Fuck it, Wendy. Let's break.

Fuck off!

Get on!

Gino Sesacagrattchi, or something like that.

Give me that.

Go ahead. Go on.

Good morning.

Got one problem, though.

Have the waitress bring a bottle of their best champagne.

He just plays a lot of shit that nobody wants to hear.

He says, "Billy, you're gonna like these girls."

He wants to kill me. He's crazy.

He's never done anything in his whole life for anybody but himself.

Hey, Kid, five minutes.

Hey, Kid, the boss wants to see you.

Hey, wait a minute! That's

Hey, wait!

Hey, wait.

Hey, watch it, now.

Hey, what's this one song shit?

Hey!

Hey.

Hey. Here, fill this out.

Hi.

Hi.

Hold it, hold it. Slow down.

How many girls have you done this to?

How's the family?

I already know that. Jill gave me everything last night.

I can feel it.

I could make you happy...

I do.

I don't care.

I don't get it, man.

I don't have a phone.

I don't have time for your bullshit. What do you want?

I don't have to.

I don't know, but Billy and Morris were sure looking for you.

I don't understand.

I don't wanna break their hearts, so we ought to have, like, a signal.

I don't want to see you no more. Gentlemen, are we ready?

I don't want you around this at all.

I don't want you in my life this way.

I got it?

I got lots of them.

I gotta make some changes, and fast. It's gonna affect all the bands, Morris.

I have a little group, and I think you'd fit in real well.

I hear he's having a problem with his band, especially Lisa and Wendy.

I heard about the club, and I thought l'd try my luck.

I heard through the g****vine...

I knew it. He didn't listen to it.

I like that. So cute. Makes you look young.

I mean, doesn't that make you feel like shit?

I mean, like, can't you just leave it alone?

I mean, what would you do in my position?

I must have looked pretty ridiculous.

I saw Mom up the street. She looked pretty bad.

I think I have something you might be interested in.

I think I'm gonna need a drink.

I thought you weren't gonna play no more.

I told you already. I'm not gonna do your stupid music.

I told you before, you're not packing them like you used to.

I told you before. This stage is no place for your personal shit.

I tried to stop you.

I want to do it. You should trust me.

I want to know when that sweet thing shows up.

I want you to stay out of the set tonight. I want you to work the floor.

I wish you could see my home. lt's....

I would die for you.

I'd like to dedicate this to my father, Francis L.

I'd like to see them. You got them written down somewhere?

I'll have him call you later.

I'll probably have a couple of little sexies on standby...

I'm a pretty good singer and dancer. Maybe he could use me.

I'm from out of town, and I have to see the manager. it's important.

I'm gonna be totally honest with you. I think you're being full of shit.

I'm gonna join Morris' group.

I'm gonna join Morris' group.

I'm just trapped here.

I'm not going anywhere. That was a rotten thing to do.

I'm so tired of this. I'm really tired of it.

I've got something for you.

I've got things to do.

If you just believed in me.

If you think you scared me, you didn't.

In his skin.

In my bedroom...

Is he gonna come?

Is that what turns you on?

Is that yours?

It must be real exciting.

It'd be nice for a change.

It's It's just....

It's a little empty tonight.

It's a secret.

It's a song Lisa and Wendy wrote.

It's a song the girls in the band wrote, Lisa and Wendy.

It's all I dream about.

It's just to make you feel good.

It's not about hurting anybody.

It's obvious you don't have what it takes to be on top.

It's so exciting.

It's the second time he hasn't shown up. I'm telling you he's fucking up.

Jerome.

Jerome.

Jerome.

Just business, huh?

Just leave me alone.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome The Revolution.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome The Time.

Ladies and gentlemen, The Revolution!

Ladies and gentlemen, The Revolution!

Ladies and gentlemen...

Lay it on me straight, Billy. I put something together hot...

Let go of me, you thick headed creep! Morris!

Let me give you some advice.

Let's go, baby.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's have some asses wiggling. I want some perfection.

Let's move it.

Life's a bitch.

Lift.

Like a girls' group?

Like his old man, Francis L.

Listen to me!

Look, I know you could use the break. Don't you wanna be a star?

Look, I'm telling you, you need to get rid of him.

Lord, such nastiness.

Ma, what happened?

Ma.

Man, I don't know.

Man, I just got my coat out the cleaners!

Maybe I'll come back at a better time.

Morris is squeezing you, Kiddo. You better kick ass tomorrow night, or else.

Morris says he's got a new group called Apollonia 6.

Morris, you're a genius.

Morris!

Motherfucker! You long haired faggot!

Never get married.

Next thing you know, you'll want to use his motorcycle.

No, man. I don't write them down.

No, you don't. He don't see no one.

No!

No!

No? Where are Lisa and Wendy at?

No.

Nobody digs your music but yourself.

Nope.

Not if I'm with my other babes. That wouldn't be cool.

Now get off it.

Now the Kid's doing the same shit.

Now, you're in the best possible position you could be in.

Now.

Of course it's mine.

Of course, money isn't everything.

Oh, Lord! Cut! Cut!

Oh, Lord. Either somebody put something in my drink...

Oh, no.

Oh, yeah?

Okay, okay.

Okay, straight up.

Okay.

Okay. Thanks.

PURPLE RAIN

Revolution, my ass!

So sexy.

So that means one of y'all has got to go.

So who's the lucky girl?

So, what are you doing here?

So, what did you do to her?

So, what was that you were saying about timing?

So, what's the matter? Your shoes on too tight or something?

So...

Something sexy but not dirty. You know, I got enough problems.

Something that'll work every night.

Sort of makes me sad when I hear it.

Sounds like she's having a good time.

Sounds like she's laughing, doesn't it?

Stop! Stop!

Tell him I'm rehearsing.

Tells me they're real hot.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That Apollonia babe we saw last night.

That was all right, man. That was fantastic.

That was fucked up, what you did.

That's nice.

That's the big difference between you and me.

The girl has expensive taste, but I wonder if she can sing.

The Kid is in rare form tonight.

The Kid must be forgetting who owns this club.

The Kid who?

The Kid's gonna help me.

The last three bands that came here went on to be big stars.

The Revolution, what?

There, on your boot.

They call?

They might as well go home.

They told me to give it to you when I was done.

They're all different too.

Think tonight this place'll be jumping?

This is a business, you ain't too far gone to see that yet.

This is business. We need the exposure.

This just might work out for both of us.

Too sexy.

Trump

We open at The Taste tomorrow, don't we?

We tried that, remember?

We'll have to go to your place.

We're all gonna be big stars.

We're gonna kill him.

We're still a group, right?

Well, hey, that's cool.

Well, I'll be here.

Well...

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

What are you, stupid? Why don't you look where you're going?

What difference does it make, man?

What do you dream about?

What for?

What for?

What I need to do is get somebody commercial.

What initiation?

What the fuck's wrong with you, Kid?

What you gonna do?

What?

What?

What? A subpoena?

What.

What's he done for you?

What's the matter?

Where are you?

Who in the fuck do you think I am?

Whose else would it be?

Why don't you let us come up with our own steps?

Will you come see me tonight?

Would you require anything else besides my company to make you happy?

Y'all better do this one.

Yeah, but we're not going to my place.

Yeah, I got a girlfriend.

Yeah, let's get them.

Yeah, okay. Just like your old man.

Yeah, we'll get off it.

Yeah, you got it. Tell me I'm wrong.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes.

You ain't even sweating. Yeah.

You can make up your own mind. Just come by.

You can really hurt people.

You come home when I say come home. You got no business in the streets.

You do what I say! Do you hear me?

You don't let me have any fun.

You don't need those girls or their stupid music.

You gonna get married?

You got a girlfriend?

You got no business leaving this house! You're always sneaking around!

You have to purify yourself in Lake Minnetonka.

You keep this place clean!

You know what you need to do? You need to get rid of him.

You like that? Is that better?

You never....

You really liked it, huh?

You see her, come get me. Cool?

You should know by now that we wouldn't hurt you.

You should know by now that we wouldn't put a dark cloud over your head.

You think about this.

You think we're doing something behind your back.

You tired too?

You'll always have a roof overhead.

You're gonna make my boys look bad.

You're in the business?

You're just being paranoid as usual.

You're lying. I can tell just by your reaction, you're lying.

You're right. We could be doing much better. Any ideas?

You've felt this way with us before, remember?

Your lips would make a lollipop too happy.

Your music makes sense to no one but yourself.

Because I have something to do first. What?

But like father, like son. Lay off that.

Did you see Morris' face? Of course I did.

Do you hear me? Mom! Dad!

Don't I keep the heat on? l don't like it here!

Excuse me, what did you say? You look nice tonight.

For real? Yeah, they won't be together long.

Get my change, would you? Of course, Morris, anything.

Give it back to me. You can have it back later.

Got it. l got it?

Got what? The password.

Hold it. What?

How'd you do it? You like it?

King Kong? Stop.

Know any good pawnshops? Sure. Why?

l gave him the night off. Why?

ls the water warm enough? Yes, Lisa.

Man, did he ever mess his career up. Ruined his wife's too.

No! l said now!

Okay, what's the password? You got it.

Pick one song and split. Can't do it any better than that.

Right! "lt" or "right"?

Say the password, onion head! The password is "what."

See you later? When?

Shall we begin? Yes, Lisa.

Shut up! Dad!

So where do you come from? New Orleans.

That's life, man. Life, my ass, motherfucker.

That's some shit. That was great.

The babe walks in. You see her. l see her.

The password is "exactly"? No, it's

The password is "it"? The password is "what."

The password is "okay"? As far as I'm concerned.

The password is what? Exactly.

The password isn't "it," it's What?

The pleasure is all mine. Please excuse me.

Wanna know why? Nope.

Wendy? Yes, Lisa.

Wendy. Shut up, Lisa, please.

What are waiting for? Let's go. That ain't classy enough.

What are we doing here, Morris? What do you mean?

What are you doing that for? You can't tell me what to do.

What do you mean? Making it.

What do you want? l have an appointment to see the manager.

What is it? Open it.

What? Right, what.

What? You got it.

What's happening? You ain't even sweating.

What's that? l got three acts. I don't need four.

What's the matter with this house? You're crazy.

When will he be back? Well, you can try tomorrow.

Where is everybody? You're late. They left.

Who's paying for this, Morris? l think you know that.

Why didn't they give it to me themselves? l liked it and I wanted to listen to it.

Yeah. Follow me.

You come get me. l come get you.

You having some problems? No.

You keep this place clean! Please, Dad, she's heard you!

You know anything about them? No.

You never talk to me. Dad, please.

You're a goddamn sinner! Shut up. You don't care about me.

...and the Kid is out, right?

...but I'm gonna make you love me.

...don't I make you happy?

...I'm a singer.

...if you just believed in me.

...l have a brass waterbed.

...or you're the finest motherfucker I've seen in ages.

...please welcome The Time.

...so you glide by me and you say what?

...that you got a new tune written by a couple of great girls.

"Apollonia"?

"But I'm here to tell you, there's something else."

"It." You just said so.

"The nominees for best actress are...."
