"And I can call in the coordinates." "What the fuck you talking about, Elliot?" "I don't know." "I thought maybe I could be in your flashback or something." "If it made you feel any better." "That's cool." "You all right?" "Man, I am fucked up." "You think I should take those pills they gave me at the VA?" "I should probably just take those fucking pills, but then I just sleep all the time, and then there's the fucking nightmares." "Fuck." "Never thought I'd end up back here." "Me neither." "I'm thinking, maybe I should do another tour." "That doesn't sound like such a good idea." "Over in 'Nam, I'm fucking normal." "Do you know what I'm saying?" "Hey, you should join up." "Me?" "Yeah."

"Actually, it's not like a mandala." "Well, the colors, it's more like MM'S." "You're welcome, Dev." "Hey, you guys want some?" "Cholent?" "Uh..." "Maybe next time." "No, I'm cool." "Hey, man, what's up with this?" "The festival." "The locals killed it." "They pulled the permit." "In Wallkill?" "The Wallkillians killed it." "DEVON:" "Bummer, man."

"Welcome to Elliot's place." "Hey, Elli, can we take a look around?" "Of course, I'll show you the whole place." "You've got some open land here, right?" "Absolutely, just up here and down." "So..." "(SPLASHlNG)" "(GRUNTS)" "MAN:" "Shit!" "Michael, for Christ's sake, it's a swamp." "Maybe we could get some bulldozers in here and level it, right?" "You're kidding me." "He owns it." "He's got a permit." "He's the President of the Chamber of Commerce." "And because of that you wanna drown thousands of kids in a swamp?" "Look, honestly, you guys can do whatever you want to here." "That's fine with us, really." "You could..." "For example, you could detonate an incredible amount of explosives and it would dry everything out immediately." "And then you could just compact the ashes down, you know, and people could sit on that." "Radical thinking, Elliot." "I assume you got a permit for that, too?" "Or..." "Okay, we get some big cranes and hang, like, a parachute over the field, and everyone could sit on it." "No?" "How about you just nuke the whole place?" "Hey, don't lose that creativity, man." "Jake, they are leaving!" "Elli, have you offered accommodation to everyone?" "We may not have vacancy for everyone, as the season is..." "Ma, they're not staying." "Stay!" "Stay!" "Look." "My husband is bringing refreshments." "Here." "Thank you, Mrs. Teichberg." "Here." "Try some of this." "It is the best chocolate milk in New York." "Made just down the road." "Have some water." "Or some chocolate milk." "What's his name?" "Or her." "Lou." "Wow." "That is excellent chocolate milk." "Yeah, it comes from the local cows." "Far out." "They eat local grass." "That must be some healthy grass." "And there's a lot of it, in big fields, just a couple of miles down the road from us." "I've always been a big supporter of Elliot, here in Bethel, and I always enjoy his music festival every summer." "That's why we're here." "Miriam and I donate the yogurt and the milk." "It's fate." "It's beautiful." "Although some of the local young people, the music they play can be a little trying, if you know what I mean, honestly." "Yeah, but it's the effort that counts, isn't it, Miriam?" "And they do enjoy themselves." "There's a lot of joy in music, Mr. Yasgur." "And we'd love to bring that joy to your beautiful farm, wouldn't we?" "Now, I know it's going to be something of an imposition, but we're more than willing to do anything..." "You say you want to use these fields here?" "Then you'll be needing the land beside the barns as well," "I'm guessing, for access to the roads." "And parking." "Probably best across 17B." "I own the piece down the road, but there are a couple of lots." "You'll probably want to avoid dealing with the Browns." "And you'll clean up after yourselves, I'm hoping." "Of course." "Well, would $5,000 do it for you?" "Five?" "But you'll have to tidy up, and you'll have to pay for any damaged crops, of course." "Sure, Max." "That sounds fine." "Good." "Wonderful." "Well, why don't you all come into the house for some chocolate milk?" "Far out." "You know, we're gonna need a place for people to crash while we prepare the festival." "Your place looks pretty cool." "How many vacant rooms do you have for the next couple of weeks?" "Well, it depends on how you define room." "You know, how many people can crash with you." "What do you guys charge?" "Let's see." "It's $8 a night, but that can be for doubles, and we give a weekly discount, of course." "Plus the cabins, you can get cots, so four people, about 150, I'd say." "You can get about 200 people." "Hey, man, let's make it easy." "Why don't we just buy the El Monaco out for the season?" "Just figure out the costs, write it down, and we'll take a look." "And if we don't use all the rooms, you can rent out the free ones." "We need to keep some cleanup crews around afterwards." "And if you've got some bigger spaces, for offices, that kind of thing." "We need to put in some phones and have some space to park vehicles." "You know where we're going?" "Mmm-hmm." "There you go." "That's the..." "Looks like we can work with this, Elli." "Cool." "You know, I was thinking, I've got that theater troupe in the barn." "A theater troupe in the barn?" "Yeah, the Earthlight Players." "It's okay if they stay, right?" "Maybe you guys could find some work for them or something." "They could really use the pay." "They're all hired, man." "Not a problem." "Great." "Thanks." "And I hope you don't mind, but we like to pay cash in advance." "And not only that, he made me a local community liaison for the festival, and we're going to be the exclusive local ticket agency, too." "They think at least 5,000 people are gonna buy tickets, or more." "Five thousand coming here to White Lake?" "Elli, you're an idiot." "Twenty people, thirty, okay, for a weekend." "But 1,000, 5,000?" "They'll steal everything." "Ma..." "We'll be sued in court by the neighbors." "What kind of meshuga, hairy, barefoot person comes here in a heliocoptic that we should lay our good white sheets on the grass and ruin them, and then plot and revolutionize to take our hotel." "Ma, he pays cash." "Everyone pays cash here, you shnook!" "No, Ma, really." "Open it." "Open it." "That's $5,000 for the rent, and another $5,000 for my services as liaison." "Plus, think of the money we're gonna make off of commissions" "(SHUSHES) from the ticket sales!" "And also... (TELEPHONE rings)" "El Monaco International Casino and Bar Mitzvah Center." "MAX:" "Elliot?" "Hey, Max." "Hi." "Well, the phone hasn't stopped ringing since you left." "And they're saying..." "I know, wow." "...thousands of people might be coming to this thing." "Yeah." "Well, you know, that's gonna cost quite a bit to put things back in order, and to get the cows situated and so forth." "I can understand, sure." "Now, Elliot, you know I don't wish to mess up your festival." "You know that." "'Cause I think what was done to those young people in Wallkill was just plain wrong." "But I've been talking with Miriam, and we think if you could just go back and tell those people..." "How much?" "Seventy-five thousand." "Not a penny less." "Okay, I'll let them know." "Okay, good." "Bye-bye." "What?" "Don't spend any of that money." "That was Max." "The deal's off." "What?" "Impossible!" "Ma." "Ma." "Ma." "Elli, don't try to stop her." "She can't get far." "And I read in the papers, you've already sold thousands of tickets, and that's a lot." "And so you'll be needing to use, practically, my whole place here, not just the alfalfa fields." "Now, wait a second." "I mean, I could..." "I mean, I could buy a farm for the kind of money you're asking for." "I could buy five farms." "From what I read in the papers, Mr. Roberts, you've already spent a million dollars in Wallkill, and you've only got until the 15th until your festival." "Now, I'm sure a wealthy young man such as yourself could, indeed, buy a lot of farms." "But that's neither here nor there." "All I'm saying is..." "Yeah, all you're saying is that you've got us over a barrel." "Well, if I didn't, you wouldn't be on your second carton of chocolate milk now, would you?" "But I tell you this, fellas, when you make a deal with me, it's a deal." "Okay?" "So long as you promise to put things back in order," "I'll stand by you 100%." "These people are my neighbors, and I know how to deal with them." "I won't let them run you off like they did in Wallkill, 'cause this is my land, and let's just see them try." "Wow, Max, that is very cool." "And you're right." "We're going to have a lot of people come here and enjoy your place." "Michael, if I may, I wouldn't describe $75,000 as cool." "$5,000 is cool." "Hey, it's your bread, guys." "I'm just trying to put you together here with Max's vision." "Right." "Look, Max, if we were willing to consider doing this, you're really gonna have to let us make it work." "Mike, listen, really, if this doesn't shake out with Max..." "I'm sure we're gonna be fine." "John and Joel and Max, they're all gonna come together." "I can feel it." "Good vibes." "MAX:" "He won't let them near it." "Smithson?" "Who's Smithson?" "MAX:" "I don't own the property down there." "You don't own the property?" "MAX:" "I own this and I own that, which reminds me, I'm sure you'll be willing to put up a bond, just in case there's damage." "I was thinking $75,000." "JOEL:" "Fuck!" "A $75,000 bond, too?" "Can I ask you a question?" "Please." "Is Mike for real?" "I mean, he's so relaxed." "Michael, yeah, he's totally real, so long as the cash is real." "And the cash is real so long as John and Joel are real." "And I guess John and Joel are gonna stay real because, between us, they've already sold 100,000 tickets." "And who wants 100,000 freaks coming after them for refunds?" "MAN:" "So Mikey is trying to sell those six acres." "MAN 2:" "It's got a lake?" "Yeah." "Hey, Dave." "I'll have the usual."

"By the way, those clowns you and your dear parents chased off..." "Not nice people." "I know." "I was playing the horses, if you know what I mean, over by the racetrack in Monticello." "Nice bedroom community, actually, until that bunch tried to confiscate my earnings." "You think they'll be back?" "Here?" "All I can say is you need help." "What kind of help?" "Oh." "Um..." "That's nothing." "You should see what I'm packing up here." "My God." "I know." "But keeping to the subject at hand for the moment, you do need some real security around here."

"Do you realize that the police are now estimating that perhaps as many as 100,000 people will attend the concert?" "What will your people here in White Lake think of 100,000 hippies and what they will do to the town?" "My people?" "You say my people." "Native White Lakians cannot be considered people, you know, mine or anyone else's." "Can you tell us something about these free programs for the local community happening this week?" "Will there be a cap on the number of tickets sold, and how will you deal with people showing up without tickets?" "You are asking about freedom." "The very essence of the enterprise, of all enterprise, especially free enterprise." "And freedom could be considered, and is often considered, you know, to be just another word for being free." "Therefore, there will be no train to freedom." "Train has already left the station." "How can the music be free when the people of White Lake are enchained?" "Huh?" "If one song is not free, then all songs are not free." "That is why we are going to free all the songs in White Lake." "(whispering) Any idea what the hell is going on here?"

"Hold it!" "Your dad says you're a painter." "When did he say that?" "I had him give me a tour of the property, you know, getting a lay of the land." "He talked a lot about you, about Brooklyn." "He showed me some of his favorite places, the oaks down by the lake." "Nice." "elliot:" "Wait." "Are you sure that was my dad?" "Maybe it was somebody else's?" "I mean, he doesn't have any favorite places here, he hates it." "He doesn't talk." "I didn't say it was therapy or anything, you know." "It was just chatting." "Chatting?" "His mind must be going." "Don't worry, Elliot." "I'll keep an eye on him." "If he starts to laugh or smile or anything suspicious like that," "I'll let you know." "Yeah." "You do that." "(BREATHES DEEPLY)" "In fact, I have to go collect his bat, we've got dawn patrol." "Vilma?" "Does my dad know, you know, what you are?" "Elliot." "I know what I am." "That does make it easier for everyone else, doesn't it?" "After the concert, we've got tables set up near the barn." "I understand your mother is preparing her specialty." "Cholent?" "Oh, no." "And the Ladies Auxiliary has made dessert." "DON:" "We just have to make sure somebody rations them." "There's a lot of hungry kids out there." "Don, I just want to say, I have a feeling."

"Well, we gotta make some space in here, but..." "Doris?" "Doris, he doesn't..." "Doris?" "He doesn't even know what a purchase order is." "I'm trying to help organize moving everybody from here in the horseshoe up to the site." "Trucks, trailers, everything, gotta go." "Gonna miss this place." "Yeah, well, we'll keep some rooms here." "The one concern is the big towers for the speakers." "They're not staying up?" "No, they're good." "Solid." "It's just that if there's rain, lightning, well, might get a little..." "A little what?" "Electrical." "We're working on it." "Yeah, we don't wanna fry too much of the audience." "Yeah, that's a good point, Joel." "Thank you, John." "Hey." "It's August." "It's not gonna rain."
