"Remember when we were in Africa" "Boom!" " Let's play it." "We need the practice." " All right." "Ready." "Remember when we were Yeah!" "Ooh" "Something like that." "Don't overblow, Jim." "You've got a long way to go." " Why not?" " Do we have to play that loud?" "I can't play as loud as you guys." " What Robby is trying to do is get that sound." " l know that." "We've got to look at each other." " lt's the stupidest ending I've ever heard." " What's stupid?" "The ending?" "Yeah, and then just "chush"- lt cuts off, and the only thing you hear... is the fade away of the sound." " Of the cymbal?" " Yeah." " Because it's full of symbolism." " l love the cymbal." "Can everybody play so we can hear what it sounds like?" "Let's cut it." "Let's make a record." "Let's do it this time." "Let's try that." "How's that again?" "Robby does two" "John one, Doug one, I do two," " and then you come in." " All right." "That sounds good, Robby." "Here we go." "One time, everybody, please." "All right!" "Wild child" "Full of grace" "Savior of the human race" "Your cool face" "Natural child" "Terrible child" "Not your mother's" "Or your father's child" "You're our child" "Screamin' wild" "An ancient lunatic reigns... in the trees in the night." "With hunger at her heels" "Freedom in her eyes" "She dances on her knees" "Pirate prince at her side" "Staring into... the hollow idol's eye" "Wild child" "Full of grace" "Savior of the" "Human race" "Your cool face" "Your cool face" "Your cool face" "You remember when we were in Africa?" "Yeah!" "That was groovy." "Let's talk about the Doors." "What's the difference between a rock lyric and a poem?" "There's really no difference." "Jim's book is the same as Jim's lyrics." "I can read a page, and I've heard him sing... the same things." "For him, I don't think it's any difference at all." "This is written poetry, and what he does onstage... is spoken poetry." "And spoken poetry is very effective." "Although some poems read better than they speak." "For the most part, spoken poetry is more effective." "What we do sometimes is play a song... and we'll play the structure, then we'll get into a free part and we'll improvise musically, and he'll improvise lyrically." "That will probably be straight poetry, and then we'll get back into the form later." "It would seem more fluid than what you've got in the book." "A lot of our most interesting songs... developed over a period of time... playing night after night in clubs." "We'd start out into a fairly basic song, and then the music would settle into... a kind of hypnotic... river of sound, which would leave me free to make up... anything that came into my head at the time." "I think that's- l like songs, but that's the part... of the performance that I enjoy the most, where l have a chance just to... pick up vibrations from the music, and what's coming from the audience," "and just kind of follow it wherever it goes." "How's that differ from how you write a poem?" "Umm." "It's very similar." "I think a lot of poetry is very close to music." "Except, when you write a poem, often you just- You have to... be in a state of mind that music can put you in... with its hypnotic quality." "It leaves you free, to just let the subconscious play itself out... wherever it goes." "I really admire poets who can get up, with or without a microphone, in front of a group of people, and start reciting their poetry." "I really admire that." "But I find it" "The music gives me a kind of security... that makes it a lot easier to express myself." " lt's hard to just read it dry." " Sure." "I wish I could." "I'd like to work on that more." "What do kids look to you for... as far as projecting through your sounds?" "In Europe, the kids were much more politically oriented." "If we said anything politically, they'd go into a furor." "They love it, especially anything against America." "But, if we just played, they'd dig that, too." "But they really dug the political side of it." "In America, it's just the opposite." "What do they come to hear?" "I know the music, but- l think they come more for the religious experience." "In a way, rock concerts have always... served a function." "It gives a lot of people... with the same... station in life... a chance to gather together... and kind of assemble and... just feel... the sheer mass of them that exists, the numbers." "Take that 10,000 people coming together, and there's a sense of communion, a communal thing." "We're all here together, and there's no reason" "A lot of energy is dissipated in the concert, but there's no reason that same communal kind of thing... can't be taken out into the outside world." "Ideally, hopefully, that's what... a good rock concert can do." "Do you see your concerts as a sort of ritual?" "I've read a little about shamanism." "I haven't seen much of it firsthand, except, you know, what we see... with the music and that kind of thing." "But in tribes, the shaman could be any age." "It could be an old man or a young man, but the whole tribe, all ages... kind of try to push him into his trip... and listen to him." "Irregardless, it was just a question... of a certain psychological tendency on an individual." "What do you think the role of a rock shaman is... in a time of, say, social turmoil?" "I don't think the shaman, from what I've read, is really too interested in defining... his role in society." "He's more interested in... pursuing his own fantasies." " Where are you staying?" " What's the name of that place?" "Oh, come on." " l forget." " You're so stoned you can't remember." "Get your programs here!" " How much are these?" " One dollar." " Can I look at it first to see if I want it?" " Yeah." "Jim, autograph the back." " Do you have this one?" " l've got all of them." "Here's the Jagger and The Who collection." " How much are those?" " A dollar." "Stop!" "What are you picking at him for?" "Hey, wait a minute." "I gotta wear that" "All right, baby, now" "Love me, yeah" "Yeah" "I'm a Sunday trucker Christian motherfucker, yeah" "Sunday trucker Christian mother" " Hey" "Just a three-eyed boy" "Lookin' for a twelve-toed girl" "Build me a woman Make her ten feet tall" "Build me a woman Make her ten feet tall" "Don't make her ugly Don't make her small" "Just build me a woman Ten feet tall" "Build me a woman someone I can ball" "All night lt'll be all right" "She came" "She came, baby" "She came, oh" "Well, she came I saw her comin'" "Just about the break of day" "You gotta build me a woman, yeah" "Yeah, yeah" "We gotta go now" "Bye, bye, yea" "We had some good times" "But they're just about gone" "About the break of day" "Yeah, build me" "You gotta build me" "Build me a woman Build me a woman" "She can run She came just about" "The break of day" "I think the two basic types of music... indigenous to this country are... the black music, blues;" "and the folk music that was brought over from Europe." "They call it country music, or the kind of West Virginia high-and-lonesome sound." "Those are the two mainstreams of root American music." "There might be others." "But ten years ago, what they called rock and roll... was kind of a blending of those two forms." "In four or five years, the new generation's music... will be, uh- it'll have... a synthesis of those two elements... and some third thing." "Maybe it'll be- lt might rely heavily on... electronics, tapes." "I can kind of envisión... maybe one person... with a lot of machines, tapes, and electronic setups, singing or speaking... and using machines." "He threw his arms around the horse's neck, and... kissed him everywhere." "I love my horse." "A crowd gathered, his landlord appeared... and took Friedrich back up to his rooms... on the second floor where he began... to play the piano madly and sing madly, like" "Whoa!" "I'm crucified... and inspected and... resurrected, and whoa!" "And if you don't believe that, I'll give you my latest... philanthropic sonata." "And the landlord's family was amazed." "So they sent for his friend, Auerbach, and he got there in three days by coach, and they took Friedrich... to... the... asylum." "And his mother joined him, and for the next 15 years, they cried, and cried, and laughed, and looked at the sun, and everyone." " Thank you." " That was great!" "It was dyno!" "Wait until the war is over" "And we're both a little older" "The unknown soldier" "Breakfast where the news is read" "Televisión children fed" "Unborn, living living, dead" "Bullet strikes the helmet's head" "And it's all over" "For the unknown soldier lt's all over" "For the unknown soldier" "Oh, oh" "Company... halt!" "Present... arms!" "Make a grave for the unknown soldier" "Nestled in your hollow shoulder" "The unknown soldier" "Breakfast where the news is read" "Televisión children fed" "Bullet strikes the helmet's head" "And it's all over" "The war is over lt's all over" "The war is over" "All over" "All over, baby All over, yeah" " Whoa - lt's all over" "All over lt's all over" "The war is over" " All over, baby - lt's all over" "Ha, ha-ha!" "The war is over." "Pastor Fred L. Stegmeir, Minister at large... for the Evangelical and Reform Church." "Minister at large?" "Minister at large." "Hi." "What's your name?" "Fred?" "Nice talking to you." "Pleased to meet you." "How did you like my music?" "I have a little problem." "Have you got a second?" " Just a walk." " All right." "If I'm not back in ten minutes- l don't know whether you know... the experience of the disciples." "Fifty days after the resurrection, they had been left alone by "the man,"" "and he told them to stay in Jerusalem... until something happens." " Uh-huh." " And the event of the happening... was intense communication, not only within their little circle, but communication with everybody that heard them." "I think this is, perhaps, related in a sense." "I can try and explain anything." "We think of it as" "We try to provoke sort of a religious experience..." "This is what I'm appreciating." "In the sense of people communicating." "It's fifty percent physical." "The records are only half of it." "There's a whole other element involved." "It strikes me as a tremendous mystique... about what you're involved in here." "It's much more than anything on the surface." "Most of the "establishment"... are concerned about what the hell you're pulling off." " And it's suspect- - l think a lot of that... has to do- This kind of thing... has been going on for a long time." "It's kind of like secular religion... in a way, I guess." "I've appreciated talking to you." "How could I communicate with you in terms of writing?" "Easy. I'll give you an address." "We're open anytime." " Thanks a lot." " Nice to meet you, Fred." "Just don't report me to my bishop." "When I was back there in seminary school, there was a person there who put forth the proposition... that you can petition the Lord with prayer."

"This is Kerry Humpherys from The Doors Collectors Magazine, the editor-in-chief, and we're looking at some sheet music that The Doors have put out over the years." "Of course, "Light My Fire" was their biggest song." "It came out in 1967, so the sheet music has been released several different times." "Several different versions of some of their songs have come out over the years." "There actually are some memorabilia dealers that specialize in sheet music, and sometimes you can pick up one or two of them, but it's pretty hard to find a complete collection of them." "This is some of the concert ticket stubs." "This one we're looking at now is from the Singer Bowl, which was one of The Doors' most famous performances." "They had a film crew there, and some of the scenes that you'll see in The Doors' videos... are taken from that show." "This is an lsle of Wight tour program, and this is what it looks like inside." "This is when The Doors were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame." "These are Jim Morrison stamps that were issued in Germany... in 1988." "This is the Middle Earth London Roundhouse flyer, the show they played with Jefferson Airplane." "Life magazine and Acoustic Amps put out a flyer." "Henry Diltz took the photo for the Morrison Hotel album." "This is a 1967 Elektra catalog." "People take The Doors literally and put them on their cars." "These are a couple of license plates that people have sent to me." "In Poland, there was a vinyl shortage, and so people were so desperate to hear their Doors music... that they found a way of imprinting the records... onto the laminate of postcards." "Actually, these are Polish postcards, but they really work." "These are Philco hip-pocket records." "There are books published all over the world about Jim Morrison." "It's very hard to maintain a collection of all these releases, but these are some of the titles that have come out... from Europe, Italy," "Spain, Venezuela, just about anyplace you can think of." "The hardest-to-find book about Jim Morrison... would have to be the three books that were written by Hervé Muller." "There's been probably about ten or fifteen... different lyric books that have come out with lyrics and music." "Danny Sugerman's complete lyrics book... is an excellent source of reference for songs and their lyrics." "There's a lot of controversy about The Doors' books." "You know, there's several different authors writing about Jim Morrison." "Several of them, of course, never knew Jim." "They're kind of book-learned about the subject." "They're just reiterating what they've read and passing it on." "So there is quite a controversy about how many of these books are true, how much information is correct and how much is myth." "The Doors Collectors Magazine comes out quarterly." "The Doors have had an incredible amount of 45's come out... from all over the world." "Some of these picture discs are sought-after collectibles." "You're looking at some Japanese 45 sleeves right now." "These are amongst the hardest in the world to find." "Several of The Doors' singles have been released... in foreign-speaking countries." "These picture sleeves are from Argentina and Spain." "Some of the 45's that have come out... from different markets in Germany, Portugal, France- they're kind of interesting because they feature outtakes... of the photos that they used for the U.S. sleeves." "The rarest and hardest-to-find 45 single picture sleeve... is the first single that The Doors released, which was "Break On Through."" "This was released before "Light My Fire"... proved that it would be the hit rather than "Break On Through."" "The Doors chose "Break On Through"... because they thought it had the best chance of making it to number one." "The Doors have been issued on bootleg." "This is a 45 bootleg." "This is Jim Morrison's dictionary." "It's in the Ray Manzarek collection." "These are the acetates that are owned by Ray Manzarek."

"Oh, wow!" "That was- That was really something." "Yes, it was." "I wish it could last forever." "Wow." "Forever." "Man, I don't- l don't see how it could last for more than an hour." "I think that'd kill me." "What are you talking about?" "Well, the orgasm." "Isn't that what you mean?" "No, I meant our relationship." "Oh, well" " What do you- What about it?" "I wish it could last forever." "Oh, well, uh" "Yeah, that's a beautiful thought." "But why not?" "Well, we aren't married." "Well, I mean, so what?" "That doesn't mean anything." "That doesn't have anything to do with it as far as I'm concerned." "If you wanted a lasting relationship, wouldn't you marry me?" "Huh." "Well" "Well, yeah, but  l mean" " Don't you love me?" "Oh, sure, sure." "It's not a question of that." "It's- lt's, uh- lt's more a question of- of not wanting to destroy that love." "You know what I mean?" "What are you reading?" "The Three Penny Opera." "Have you read it?" "Uh, no, no." "I never got around to any Brecht." "Mmm." "You ought to." "He's an interesting man." "He's got this theory of alienation that's really strange." "Well, look, um, you're talking about strange, but did you read the things I was telling you about?" " What things?" " Well, Nova Express, Thieves Journal" "Oh, those." "No, I haven't had time." "I'm reading Moby Dick." "Oh, wow." " What are you majoring in?" " l'm in art." " Oh, yeah?" "What do you want to do?" " Oh, I don't know." "I like photography and, uh, sculpture, but, uh, well, I don't know." "I'm going to a wedding next week." "Oh, you are, huh?" "Well, that's real nice." "The bride's a girlfriend of mine." " Oh, is she?" "Yeah?" " Mm-hmm." "From high school." " Hmm." "Hmm." " Would you like to come along?" " To what?" " To the wedding." "Oh." "Oh, uh" "No, I don't think so, really." "Why don't you?" "I'm going to be a bridesmaid." "You can watch me perform." "Wow." "Well, uh- l mean, it's not that I don't want to see you or anything, you know, but, I don't know, I just don't- l mean, I don't- l don't feel like going to a wedding." "Why not?" "Well, it's just that- l mean, it doesn't interest me." "You know, it's just a- just a- l don't know." "I don't like conventional weddings." "What kind of weddings do you like?" "Oh, well, uh, I guess- l guess I don't like any kind of weddings, really." "Oh." "Yeah." "Sure."

"I mean, we were making a lot of bread, man, let me tell you." "As a matter of fact, I was playing with Tony Scott when I was out there."

" Oh, Henrietta" " Oh, do me a favor" "And love me all through the night" "Driving to Venice to take publicity photos in the van." "There's Jim and Gary Burton and Ray." "Gary was my graphic artist partner." "John's driving because it's his van." "And we get to Venice and get out and take a little walk down the boardwalk there." "Kind of a gray day in Venice and trying to decide where to go." "Jim's kind of testing the air." "And we just kind of meandered down, found a lifeguard stand." "The guys climbed up on there." "Remember, we took some shots of them hanging off the ladder." "And we found some friendly graffiti of the times." "Here, our favorite gang." "Decided to take a few minutes and pose." "Ray's offering a bottle of Thunderbird." "Further on, we found some playground equipment." "Still looking for a great place, we found a great garage door with a message:" ""l think I know the reason, but I can't spell it."" "We had to pause every now and again for people to walk by." "A little kid on a tricycle rode up and posed for a minute, and we still wonder today who that little guy is grown-up." "Jim in front of the Chinese Times." "It was plastered on a wall down there, right at the beach." "We found our way underneath the pier at Pacific Ocean Park, which is now torn down, and decided to take some group shots." "As we were taking them, John was looking out... and discovered a surfer there kind of riding close to the pilings." "So everybody's attention kind of drifted out onto the water there, and whoop, almost hit that piling." "So finally the guy rode in and said hello... and posed for a photo with us." "And kind of inspired John... to hang ten right there on the sand, which he did." "Let's see, then we tried to get a serious group shot, but this was as close as we could get." "Then we found a terrific painting of Venice... right there in the middle of Venice and thought," ""Why not pose in front of the painting?"" "This lovely green lady appeared around the corner suddenly." "We worked up a good appetite and went to have a bite to eat at the Lucky U Cafe, which was a favorite restaurant of The Doors... owned by their friend Poncho." "So we're having some beers, and Ray's having chili." "Jim's taking a bite of his burrito." "This is the day of the album cover sessión... at the Morrison Hotel in downtown L.A." "Ray had discovered this driving around with his wife." "And so we went down there- Rooms $2.50 and up." "Went inside and took the pictures, even though first they said, "No, you can't take pictures."" "When the guy left the desk, we went in and did it anyway." "We started sort of close up here with a wide-angle lens, and then I decided to walk across the street... with the telephoto and got this shot, and that became the cover of "Morrison Hotel."" "Decided to get a drink and went down to Skid Row... and discovered the original Hard Rock Cafe." "Went inside and sat at the bar, ordered some drinks, talked to some of the patrons." "I kind of backed out the door and took this shot at the bar." ""Paris, 1975." ""Dear Jim," ""Well, we finally visited your grave." ""l suppose I didn't come to your funeral..." ""because I was so mad and disappointed in you..." ""the last few years the band was together." ""lt wasn't hard to find your plot..." ""with all the graffiti leading up to it." ""l don't know why I'm writing this to you," ""but there's some things I gotta get off my chest." ""lt's too late for you, but it's not too late for me."" "Riders on the storm" ""Everyone go home tonight and write a song,"" "Jim said at a December '65 rehearsal." ""But use universal imagery instead of specifics- earth, air, fire, water."" "Nothing great came of the next day's rehearsal." "But just after the new year, something happened... out at Robby's parents' house in the Palisades." "Robby greeted us at the door with unusual enthusiasm." ""l got a new song, my first song." "I think it's a hit!"" "Jim said, "l've got one too."" "Ray and I were silent." "After picking up his guitar," "Robby squeezed out a few catchy chords and sang the opening lines... which immediately sounded like a hit single to me." "Then Jim sang his new one, a cappella." "This is the end" "Beautiful friend" "This is the end" "My only friend" "The end" "Of our elaborate plans" "The end" "Of everything that stands" "The end" "No safety or surprise" "The end I'll never look into your eyes" "Again" "Geez!" "A chill ran up my spine." "These weren't lyrics." "They were an epitaph." "He may be a poet, I thought, but he sure is hung up on death." "The energy picked back up in the room." "I started playing a Latin beat on my drums." ""Hey, how about a jazzy feel to it," l suggested." "Ray and Robby nodded." "Ray leaned over his organ for a moment, working on an intro." ""Duh, duh, duh" " Shit Duh, duh, duh, duh" " Shit." "Doo, doo-dee-la-dee" " Damn."" "For the next ten minutes, Ray labored over the intro... while the rest of us took a break." "Come on, baby, light my fire" "Come on, baby, light my fire" "Try to set the night on" "Fire" ""Jim called me last night at 4:00 a.m.,"" "Robby said, sipping fresh orange juice." ""l was half asleep, mind you, and you know what he said?" ""He said, 'This is God calling..." ""and we decided to kick you right out of the universe.'" ""What a card." "Yeah. I hope he's in good shape for tonight."" "Me too." "Ladies and gentlemen, from Los Ángeles, California, The Doors!" "Dead rats sucking on a soldier's sperm." "Crap." "That's crap." "And then I came to an abrupt halt." "Pah!" "Jesus Christ!" "Jim just fell off the stage!" "The audience has broken his fall, and they're trying to push him back up." "But the stage is so high, they can't quite get him back up." "What'll we do?" "We continue vamping." "And Jim scrambles over the edge and grabs the mike." "Ahh!" "The audience lets out a cheer." "I'm laughing so hard, the tempo is dragging." "We argued in front of everybody about which song to play next." "Ray stopped playing... and started pounding on his keys in quick, expressive grunts." "Uh-uh-uh-uh." "Well, I immediately did the same thing." "And we stopped the car." "Free-form poetry in music." "Yeah, no concern for chord changes or rhythm." "Just primeval grunts." "Whew!" "Yeah!" "Only since Jim was done, we slammed back into the rhythm." "God, that was fun." "On to the double time." "The final." "Reflecting on this today, I realize, Jim, that you knew that western man's quest... for a better job, a house, a car... was a substitute for a real quest, something sacred." "What you missed was that the need for the sacred... must be transformed to an inner cathedral." "The momentary sense of an exultant power... wine drinking can give is only a sign... to show men that they have within them more than they knew." "They themselves could become divine." "Maybe you are a god." "Down here, you're a media god." "I wish we'd learned a little more about each other." "You certainly have made a mark." "You've influenced me a lot." "I've even been reading a little Nietzsche." "A quote of his comes to mind." ""A man's ancestors... have paid the price of what he is."" "You definitely are in me." "So I want to say thank you... and good-bye." "I'll open doors to strange and exotic countries." "What utter sophistication." "Oh, yes, I've changed men's lives, you know." "Yeah, that's how I'm gonna have you in that film I'm gonna make- the sophisticated, blasé woman of the world." "You're not gonna make your film about us, are you?" " Yeah, sure." "Why not?" " Well, nothing dramatic has ever happened to us." "So what?" "It doesn't have to be dramatic." "There has to be some kind of drama." "You can't have people just walking around doing nothing." " Well, what if they love each other?" " That's not enough." "You've got to have one of your characters undergo some sort of a change." "Like, in the one-act that I'm doing now, the girl decides to leave her lover in the end." " Mm-hmm." " See?" "You've got to have something like that." "I'll work it out." "Anyway, how's your play coming?" "Oh, it's all right." "We've still got two weeks of rehearsal." "Well, Pete'll get the actors in shape." "He knows what he's doing." "He's a pretty good director." " He's okay." " Hey, do you remember Charlie Dutz?" " ls that that guy you went to school with in Chicago?" " Yeah." "Yeah." "Anyway, I got a letter from him the other day." " He's in the army." " He is?" " Yeah, they drafted him." " Oh, no!" "And the thing I'm worried about is that he was born a month before I was... and we're registered out of the same draft board back in Chicago." " l sure hope they don't get me." " lf you stay in school, they won't get you." " Oh, no?" " And I knew this guy... that stayed in school till he was 27, and they never drafted him." "I have some friends in Europe that never got called just because they're in Paris." "Besides, you really ought to go to Paris." "You'd love it." " Sure." "What would we do for money?" " Oh, you'd manage somehow." "Oh, hey, look." "I've got to get going." "I told John I'd see him about 7:00." "We've got to work on some scenes for the film." "I'll see you as soon as we get through." "About 9:00, okay?" " Well, don't be late." " Who, me?" "I'm never late." " Here's your coffee." " Oh, thank you." "How's that thing coming?" "Mmm, okay." "Mine's really been giving me a lot of trouble." "I'm gonna stay in the film department." "These art courses are too much for me." "Looks like it's almost finished." "Almost." "I'm getting kind of tired now." "I think I'll go home." "Oh, well, look, I've got a car in Lot 5." "Want me to give you a lift?" " Well, mine's in Lot 12." " Well, I'll give you a lift up to there." " lt's a long walk to Lot 12 from here." " Okay." "Thank you." "Good." "Well, why don't we get going?" "There's no sense staying here. I'm sick of this place." "Okay." "Calling out around the world" "Are you ready for a brand-new beat" "Summer's here and the time is right" "For dancing in the street" " They're dancing in Chicago" " Dancing in the street" " Down in New Orleans" " Dancing in the street" " ln New York City" " Dancing in the street" " All we need is music" " Sweet, sweet" " Sweet music" " Sweet music" " There'll be music everywhere" " Everywhere" "There'll be swinging swaying and records playing" "Dancing in the street" "Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear..." " Hey, Nicki, here's the rest of the wine." " Oh, you try it." " Oh, no. I can't" " Come on!" "Sure you can." "Oh, God!" "It really got all over you." "Here, Peter." "You try." "I did this one other time." " That was good!" " l used to be able to do it." "i" " This is an invitation across the nation" " Oh, Frank." " Hey, Ray, that's quite a chick you've got there." " Uh, yeah, Norm." "Thanks." " Uh, hey, Nicki, let's dance, huh?" " Bye, Monty." " We'll see you later, Monty." " l'll talk to you later."

"Oh, yeah." "She just went upstairs with Peter." "Oh, yeah?" "Thanks." "Dancing in the street I'll cross the ocean too" "Me and you We're dancing in the street" "Dancing in the street" " That's all we'll do all night" " Dancing in the street" " We're dancing in the street" " Dancing in the street" "Yeah, we're dancing in the street" "Dancing in the street" " Yeah, we're dancing in the street" " Dancing in the street" " Yeah, we're dancing in the street" " Dancing in the street" "Dancing in the street" "Oh, hey, Nicki, I've been looking all over for you." " When did you come up here?" " Hi." "Oh, hey." "What are you up to?" "Hey, would you mind if I talk to her alone for a minute?" " l'll see you later, Nicki." " Bye, Peter." "What, uh" " What was that all about?" "I'm not really sure myself." "I just don't think we should see each other so often." "Well, did I do something wrong?" "Well, did I do something wrong?" "Oh, no, Ray, it's not that." "I just need some time to think." "To think?" "Well, what's there to think about?" "Well, a lot of things." "I- l don't understand you." "What is it that you want?" "Well, I just want to be an individual." " But l-l don't understand." " Five minutes, Nicki." "Well, I want people to respect me as an individual." " Well- - l want to be" "Oh, I don't know, Ray." "Just give me some time to think." "Yeah, I know." "You- You said that, but, but how long?" "I don't know." "A week, a month, a year even. I really don't know." "Well, maybe- maybe that's good in a way." "I mean, I can feel that something's wrong." "We don't- We don't talk anymore." "We don't even make love anymore." "It's more sex than love." "What's, uh- What's going wrong, Nicki?" "I don't know." "Just give me some time to think." "I hope this isn't the end." "How's your film coming?" "Oh, well, not so good, really." "It's not really going quite the way I thought it would." " Why not?" " l don't know. lt's- lt's hard to say." "Well, I was thinking about the last scene of your film." "You know, maybe it would work better... if the guy were more broken up about losing the girl." "You know, the way it is now, his going into the army really isn't motivated." "He says in the first scene that he doesn't even want to go in, and then in the last scene he joins the army." "It seems like he's just running away." "Well, that's what he's doing." "I mean, he does run away." "But why does he run away to the army?" "I don't know, really." "It's, uh- lt's just an idea. I'm not sure what the ending's gonna be yet." "Well, don't worry." "You'll work it out. lt'll be a good film." "I hope so." "Um, if you'd like to go out this weekend, I'll pay for it." "Oh, that's okay." "Don't worry about it. I got some money." "Well, it's my turn." "And besides, you need your money for the film." "Oh, thanks." "Well, uh, what about Friday?" "I'm sorry, Ray. I'm busy." "Doing what?" "I haven't seen you in three weeks" " Could you hand me that canteen?" " Yeah." " You're finished with the one-acts." " Well, I know." " So what are you doing?" " Peter and I are going to see Banana Peel tonight." "Could you put that stuff down here, Ray?" " You and Peter again?" " Oh, it's not like that." "He's just being a friend." "Nicki, hey... wait a minute." "I want to talk to you." "Nicki, no visitors backstage!" "Oh, it's all right." "He'll just be a minute." "We're really swamped now." "We've got a show in two days." " But, Nicki, I love you." " l can't hear you up here." "Hey, Nicki, wait a minute." "I want to talk to you." "Look, it- it can't go on like this." "I don't have anything." "Well, what about that Chinese girl?" "Oh, she's Japanese." "And besides, she doesn't mean a thing to me." "Look, I've got an art class with her, and I've seen her a couple of times." "Hey, Nicki, give us a hand with these flats, will you?" "Okay." "Sorry, Ray, I've got to run." " But, Nicki, wait a minute." " l'm sorry, Ray. I don't have time to talk now!" "There isn't any love." "There's just- Oh, I don't know." "I thought I was in love once, but I guess it wasn't love at all." "What was it?" "I don't know. I don't- l don't know what anything is anymore." "I don't have anything." "Do you mean that?" "I" " You- You don't understand." "Look" " Look." "Don't- don't love me, Dorothy, not now." "There's nothing left for me. I just" "Oh, I don't know."
