"You said you were keeping in touch with them." "I got a couple of leads, a few phone numbers." "But, I mean, how many of them visited or even wrote you?" "They're not the kind of guys who write letters." "You were outside." "I was inside." "You were supposed to keep in touch with the band." "I kept asking you if we were gonna play again." "What was I gonna do, take away your only hope?" "Take away the very thing that kept you going in there?" "I took the liberty of bullshitting you." "Okay?" " You lied to me." " It wasn't lies." "It was just bullshit." " Shit." " What?" " Rollers." " No." "Shit." " What?" "What did I do?" " You failed to stop at a red signal." "The light was yellow, sir." "May I see your license, please?" "God dam it!" "I haven't been pulled over in six months." "I bet those cops have got SCMODS." "State County Municipal Offender Data System." "Elwood, we show your license currently under suspension." "Step out of the car, please." "First you trade the Cadillac for a microphone." "Then you lie to me about the band." "Now you're gonna put me right back in the joint!" "They're not gonna catch us."

"Nice place, huh?" "Hey, Sam." "Hey, Lloyd." " Anybody call for me on the phone?" " No." "No calls." "Some guy left his card." "Cop." "Said he'd be back." "This here's my brother, Jake." "He just got out of the joint." "He's gonna be staying with me for a few weeks." "Yeah." "Okay." "Did you get me my Cheez Whiz, boy?" "Well, it ain't much, but it's home." " How often does the train go by?" " So often you won't even notice it." "How are you going to get the band back together, Mr Hot-Rodder?" "Those cops got your name, your address." "No, they don't got my address." "I falsified my renewal." "I put down 1060 West Addison." "That's Wrigley Field." "I gotta hit the sack." "Hey, you sleaze!" "My bed!" "This, gentlemen, is the elegant abode of one Elwood Blues." "Thanks, Mr Mercer." " I kinda like the Wrigley Field bit." " Yeah, real cute." "Stand back." " Mrs Toronto?" " Tarantino." "Ma'am, do you have a Thomas Malone or Louis Marini living here?" "Not any more." "They moved out a long time ago." "I don't take in boarders any more." " May we come in, ma'am?" " Please." "Did they leave a forwarding address?" "A phone number?" "Did they live quietly?" "What were their personal habits?" "They were good boys... but they made a lot of racket at night." "Are you the police?" "No, ma'am." "We're musicians." "Mr Man!" " Yes, ma'am?" " They left this card." "Maybe it'll help." "Thank you." "You're marvellous." "Thank you." "I'm Murph, and these are the Magic Tones." "Steve "The Colonel" Cropper, Donald "Duck" Dunn..." "Willie "Too Big" Hall and Tom "Bones" Malone." "We'll be back with the Magic Tones for the Armada Room's... two-hour disco swing party after this short break." "Till then, don't you go changing." "So you're out." "You're free." "You're rehabilitated." "What's next?" "What's happening?" "What you gonna do?" "You got the money you owe us, mother-fucker?" "Let's get something straight here." "The reason he got locked in the slam in the first place... was for sticking up a gas station to cover you guys." "You're kidding." "He pulled that job to pay for the band's room-service tab... from that Kiwanis gig in Coal City." " You did?" " That's right." "So I don't want to hear any more of this small-change shit." "We're putting the band back together." "You were the backbone... the nerve centre of a great rhythm-and-blues band." "You can make that live, breathe and jump again." "Murph and the Magic Tones?" "Look at you in those candy-ass monkey suits." "And I thought I had it bad in Joliet." "At least we got a change in clothes." "You're wearing the same shit from three years ago." "Jake ain't lying, though." "We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline." "We'll never get that fat sound again without more horns." "We'll never get Mr Fabulous." " Where is he?" " Forget it." "Mr Fabulous is the top maitre d' at the Chez Paul." "He's pullin' down six bills a week." " Matt Murphy got married." " Where is Matt "Guitar" Murphy?" "He opened a restaurant with his old lady on Maxwell Street... and he took Blue Lou with him." "You'll never get Matt and Mr Fabulous out of them high-paying gigs." "Oh, yeah?"

"My brother and I have come to dine... to celebrate my early release from the service of the state." "Wait." "Let's talk outside." " Let's have a cup of coffee outside." " Why, heavens, no." "We seek a full meal and all the compliments of the house." "Come, Elwood." "Let us adjourn ourselves to the nearest table... and overlook this establishment's board of fare." "Good evening." "Chez Paul." "Wait!" "Hey!" "Sir, do you mind calling back in about five minutes, please?" "We'll have a table in a few moments." "Excuse me." "Give us a bottle of your finest champagne... five shrimp cocktails and some bread for my brother." "We have a Dom Pignon '71 at $120." "That'll be fine, pal."

"s just that we'd like to move to another table... away from those two gentlemen." "Why?" "Have they been disturbing you?" "No." "It?" "s just that" "Well, frankly, they're offensive-smelling." "I mean, they smell bad." "Excuse me." "I'll see if I can locate another table for you." "Thank you." "Wrong glass, sir." "How much for the little girl?" " The women?" "How much for the women?" " What?" "I want to buy your women." "Your little girl." "Your daughters." "Sell them to me." " Sell me your children." " Maitre d'!" "Cut it out." "The owners are gonna ask me to call the cops." " You wouldn't do that to me, would you?" " He just got outta Joliet." "He's on parole." "You can't call the cops on him, man." " We're putting the band back together." " I said no." "Absolutely not!" "How much for your wife?" "We're putting the band back together." "We need you, man." "We need your horn." "I really can't." "We got everybody except Matt "Guitar" Murphy and Blue Lou." " We're getting them next." " No way." "If you say no, Elwood and I will come here for breakfast..." "Lunch and dinner every day of the week." "Okay." "I'll play." "You got me." "Sir?" "White men!" "White women!" "The swastika is calling you!" "The Jew is using the black... as muscle against you."
