Hey, how does it feel to be the mother of the greatest rock journalist we've met? Hello? Hello..? Look, you've got a really great kid here. There's nothing to worry about. We're taking good care of him, and you should come to the show sometime - join the circus.. Elaine Miller. Hey, hey, listen to me, mister.

You're charm doen't work on me - I'm on to you. Of course you like him.. Russell Hammond. Well, yeah.. Elaine Miller. He worships you people. And that's fine by you as long as he helps make you rich. Russell Hammond. Rich? I don't think so..

Elaine Miller. Listen to me. He's a smart, good- hearted fifteen year old kid with infinite potential. Russell Hammond. [Russell is stunned]. This is not some apron- wearing mother you're speaking with - I know all about your valhalla of decadence and I shouldn't have let him go. He's not ready for your world of compromised values and diminished brain cells that you throw away like confetti. Am I speaking to you clearly? Russell Hammond. Yes - yes, ma'am..

Elaine Miller. If you break his spirit, harm him in any way, keep him from his chosen profession which is law - something you may not value, but I do - you will meet the voice on the other end of this telephone and it will not be pretty. Do we understand each other? Russell Hammond. Uh, yes, ma'am.. Elaine Miller. I didn't ask for this role, but I'll play it. Now go do your best. Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid. Goethe said that.

It's not too late for you to become a person of substance, Russell. Please get my son home safely. You know, I'm glad we spoke. Elaine hangs up]. Russell Hammond. [Russell stands holding phone in stunned silence]. Russell Hammond. If something should happen.. I never said this enough.

I love all of you. Dennis Hope. I once hit a man in Dearborn, Michigan.

A hit and run. I hit him and just kept on going. I don't know if he's alive or dead.. I'm sorry. Not a day goes by I don't see his face. Leslie. Oh my God!

Dick Roswell. Look, I love you all too. You're like a family to me. Especially since Marna left me. And listen, fellas.. I just want you to know, if I took an extra dollar or two here and there.. I knew I'd earned it.

Russell Hammond. Yeah. I slept with Marna, Dick. Jeff Bebe. I did too.

Larry Fellows. I waited until you broke up with her, Dick. But me too. Jeff Bebe. I also slept with Leslie, when you were fighting. Russell Hammond. You slept with Jeff?

Leslie. Yeah, but it didn't count. It was the summer we decided to be free of all rules. Russell Hammond. And you say you love me! Jeff Bebe. I don't love you, man. I never did. None of us love you. You act above us. You always have. Larry Fellows.

Finally, the truth. Jeff Bebe. You just held it over us, like you might leave. Like we're lucky to be with you. And we had to live with it, man. I had to live with you, and now I might die with you, and it's not fucking fair!

Russell Hammond. Please, enough! Jeff Bebe. And I'm still in love with you, Leslie. Leslie. Oh, I don't wanna hear any more. Shut up, Jeffrey! Dick Roswell. It's all happening.

Russell Hammond. What the fuck! Whatever happens, Bebe, you're dead.

Jeff Bebe. Don't be self- righteous, Russell. Not now, man. You were sleeping with Penny, that fucking groupie, last summer up until yesterday. Why don't you tell Leslie that? Russell Hammond. Shut up! Dennis Hope. I quit!

Russell Hammond. I'm gonna kill you! Dennis Hope. I quit! William Miller. "That groupie"? She was a Band- Aid!

All she did was love your band. And you used her, all of you! You used her and threw her away! She almost died last night while you were with Bob Dylan. You guys, you're always talking about the fans, the fans, the fans; she was your biggest fan, and you threw her away! And if you can't see that, that's your biggest problem.

And I love her! I love her! Jeff Bebe. Some people have a hard time explaining rock 'n' roll. I don't think anyone can really explain rock 'n' roll. Maybe Pete Townshend, but that's okay. Rock 'n' roll is a lifestyle and a way of thinking.. Although, some money would be nice. But it's a voice that says, "Here I am..

And one of these people is gonna save the world. And that means that rock 'n' roll can save the world.. And the chicks are great. But what it all comes down to is that thing. The indefinable thing when people catch something in your music.

Elaine Miller. May I speak with William, please? Sapphire. He's not here. He's down in the bar with the band. They just got back from the radio station. Is this Maryann with the pot?. Hello? Elaine Miller.

No, this is not Maryann with the pot. This is Elaine. His mother. Could you please give him a message for me? Could you tell him to call home immediately? And could you also tell him - I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. Sapphire. All right.

But I'm just going to say this, and I'm going to stand by it: you should be really proud of him. Cause I know men, and I'll bet you do too. And he respects women, and he likes women, and let's just pause and appreciate a man like that. I mean, you created him out of thin air, and you raised him right, he's having a great time, he's doing a good job, and don't worry - he's still a virgin. And we're all looking out for him. And that's more than I've ever even said to my own parents, so there you go.. This is the maid speaking, by the way.

William Miller. [on meeting Stillwater]. Russell. Jeff. Ed. Larry. I really love your band. I think the song "Fever Dog" is a big step forward for you guys. I think you guys producing it yourselves, instead of Glyn Johns, was the right thing to do. And the guitar sound.. Incendiary. Way to go.

He turns to leave. The band members regard one another for a moment]. Russell Hammond. Well, don't stop there!

Jeff Bebe. Yeah, come back here! I'm incendiary, too, man! Lester Bangs. You CANNOT make friends with the rock stars. That's what's important.

If you're a rock journalist - first, you will never get paid much. But you will get free records from the record company.

And they'll buy you drinks, you'll meet girls, they'll try to fly you places for free, offer you drugs.. I know. It sounds great. But they are not your friends.
