"Being a kid, you know, what else was I to do but to live the Dragon?" " I'd study the music note for note." " I read every interview." " Copied every outfit, every move, you know, every look." " My pursuit ofperfection was relentless," "The music deserved that," "All right, ladies, Spread them," "Rob, you're not nailing the squeal." " I have no idea what you're talking about." " Check it out." " Play it like that." " That's it." " That's a ping, not a squeal." " Sounds just like the tape, man." " No." " Raunchier." " Again, please." " That was great." " Thank you." " From the top." " Hold on!" " Hey, Jeremy, no." " What are you doing?" " You know what this is?" " LuDricator, signed by all five band members with the original cover." " Look." " Jorgen's name is misspelled." " It should be an "E."" "You know how much I can get for it?" " Peace to you too, dude." " Try it like this." " Mom?" " Mom, isn't my room off-limits?" " I'm sorry, Chris." " Oh, what were you doing?" " How are you?" " Good." " How's Willard?" " He's fine." " You look nice." " Thank you." " Here, hold on." " You got a smudge." " Bye." " Gotta run." " Bye." " Love you." " Love you too." " Bye." " I need more power!" " I want more!" " Come on, come on." " Nina and Samantha!" " Hey, Chris." " Coming to my show in a week?" " Of course." " Want to hand out fliers?" " Absolutely." " You guys look awesome." " Bye." " We're a band called Blood Pollution a Steel Dragon tribute band, the best in Pittsburgh." " Thank you." " I wrote this one for someone who ripped out my heart." " And put it through a bloody blender!" " That's right." " This one's for IKim, who makes me want to stand up and shout." " Em, I'll be right back, okay?" " Excuse me." " You think I could have one?" " Not without a blowjob and a sex change, pal." " But have a nice day." " Come on, girls." " This way." " See you, Chris." " Oh, that was awesome!" " That was the heaviest since Columbus in '77." " Heavier than the Demented tour." " I ask you, did they not rock?" " They totally rocked." " Guys." " What the...?" " Come on." " Oh, I thought I smelled pussy." " Look who's here." " If it isn't Yoko Ono and the Fag Five." " What are you doing?" " Making sure nobody sees some cut-rate copy band." " Cut-rate?" " This dude can't even tune his own guitar." " You could work on your lip-synch." " I don't lip-synch." " Be doing everyone a favor if you did." " You could get the outfit right." " Boots from the Wasted tour and a cheap Twistedjacket." " You are so fully wrong, cocksmoker." " This is official issue." " The actual vest Bobby wore on the Twisted tour." " My dad bought it from someone who knows them." " Sorry, but your dad got ripped." " The lapels should be blue, there's no green in the embroidery." " As a matter of fact, can anybody here honestly say they've ever seen Bobby Beers with a jacket with red lapels?" " No, I can't." " I don't think so." " You can make me his pants." " Or did she already rip out the Dodge seats?" " No." " First tell me what you put there to make people think you're a guy." " This is all me, baby." " You and a few ballet slippers." " You want a piece of me?" " No, I'm good." " Want to see how a real man" "Don't touch her." " Let go of my cape." " Let go of my cape!" " Get your ass out of bed." " Get out of here." " Let's go." " Get up." " Get out of here." " Move it." " Where you hiding your stash these days?" " Get out!" " I didn't do anything." " That's the problem." " You never do anything." " Get out of here, pig!" " God-- Fucking" "Come on!" " Mom!" " Mom!" " Jeez, boys." " Quit." " Break it up." " Chris, give him a break." " Come on." " Stop it!" " Tell him to get out!" " Used to be my room." " Not anymore!" " Because I moved out when I was 18." " We're having breakfast." " IKeep him out!" " Get ready for work." " Will you go downstairs?" " IKeep him out!" " All right, he's gone." " So you arrested Mervin for drunk driving?" " He was parked on the Brennemans' lawn." " Claims he was going out for ice cream." " Same story." " Chris, so how was the show?" " It was fine." " The freaks were out in force." " Why weren't you busting heads?" " Female officers handle that crowd." " You want to go?" " Come on." " Saved again." " Should take her to work." " Good one." " Did they do "Black Babylon"?" " They haven't played that since Osaka in '75." " That is pathetic that you know." " I love that song." " Okay, genius, who's buried in Grant's tomb?" " It's twisted that you're still living at home, stealing Ma's makeup." " Who's buried in Grant's tomb?" " How much longer will you put up with this?" " The rock star fantasy thing is something you grow out of at 14." " If I get lucky, I'll get to grow up and listen to Air Supply like you." " What's wrong with Air Supply?" " Nothing, if you're from the Village People." " You know what the sickest thing is about you?" " It's that you don't have any fantasies of your own." " You fantasize about being somebody else." " Wearing somebody else's clothes." " Singing somebody else's songs." " It's pathetic." " Get a haircut." " Okay, Satan's allegiant." " Have a good one, son." " You didn't eat." " Later." " I love you guys." " Love you too." " I love you." " You do this every time." " I question his sexuality, Ma." " I do." " Here's the procedure, so it won't happen again." " Don't stick a pen in." " I'll give you a simple one-two-three procedure." " It's 1 -2-3." " Pop that down, push this." " Pull back on this lever, free up the jam and you can access" "Is there something wrong?" " Is that mascara?" " I'm in a band." " Okay?" " Oh, okay." " Can you follow the 1 -2-3 without sticking a pen in there?" " Thank you." " Thank you very much." " Bye-bye." " Sorry about that." " When's Marci getting back?" " She and Rob went to see Wham!" " Won't be back for a while." " Wham!" "?" " Oh, God." " George Michael's a wuss." " I'm gonna give Rob shit for it." " He'll want to cover that." " All right, you." " Okay, now just relax." " Is it numb?" " I think so." " Feel that?" " Sure you want to do this?" " Yeah, Bobby did it last week." " I love you, babe." " I love you." " Okay, don't look." " Don't look." " God, that had to hurt." " Yes, it does." " Oh, God." " You want to do the other one?" " No." " You want to do yours?" " Maybe." " Come on." " Let's do yours." " Testing, testing." " One, two." " No way!" " That's right." " That's my boy." " All right, ladies, who had the weenies?" " Do I have too much foundation on?" " I keep putting this shit on till I want to fuck myself." " Hey, Rob, you wearing underwear?" " No." " Rob." " You know the drill." " No panties." " Get up." " I am not freezing my balls" "Just stand up and drop it." " I'm not taking it off." " Come on." " If you want, take them off." " I am not taking off" "Your woman's an animal!" " All right!" " Before we get too into this party." " I love you!" " Love you too." " Before we get too deep into this party, I want to thank IKey Steel for letting us use their place of business to pay tribute to the metal created by none other than Steel Dragon!" " And a special thanks to my brother, Joe who gave me my first Dragon record because he hated it." " And to my parents, because they let me play it as loud as I wanted!" " That's my boy!" " That's my baby!" " Because they rock!" " Now, this next tune I'd like to dedicate to someone who, when I first met ripped my heart out and put it through a bloody blender." " That's right!" " This one's for Emily!" " She turns me up and shakes me down and makes me want to what?" " Stand up and shout!" " What was that?" " What was what?" " There's no solo break after the chorus." " They don't care." " That's not how the song goes." " I know how the song goes." " If you know how it goes, then play it right." " Chris, you are taking this shit too seriously." " That's right, because the music deserves to be taken seriously." " If you don't, you don't deserve to play it." " All right, you need to get a grip." " You've ruined your performance." " Do not ruin mine!" " Hey!" " Plug that fucker back in." " Quit it!" " That's my amp!" " Do not ruin this concert!" " Do not!" " Hey, fuck this concert!" " Here we go again." " Hit him in the bollocks." " That wraps it up for tonight." " Grab a T-shirt and cassette on your way out." " Thanks for coming." " Cut it." " What's up?" " What's he doing here?" " What are you doing here?" " Bradley's our new front man." " You made your point." " Get him out now." " Only one leaving is you." " Chris, see these?" " It's the new P.A. he brought with him." " And that's the new mixing board." " Have you heard his voice?" " Sit and spin." " Dude, just relax." " I don't care if Bradley can hit the notes Bobby Beers can hit." " Bobby's leaving the band anyway." " You don't know." " Nina and Samantha say he's leaving." " Bullshit." " It doesn't matter." " We want people to hear our originals." " We're tired of being a cover band." " We're a tribute band." " No, dude." " We are a cover band." " The problem is, you think you're in Steel Dragon." " I love you, man, but you're mental." " Get a grip on reality." " You don't know where Bobby Beers ends and you begin." " I'm mental, because I don't want to be in a cheesy bar band that butchers music and makes them listen to your crappy originals!" " Crappy? " Whole and a Half" kicks ass." " I'm proud to have written it." " That's why we got so many requests for it." " Don't shit on me because you're scared to write your own songs." " Yeah, that's it." " I'm too scared." " If you wanna make it, you write your own tunes." " Thanks for the tip, bro." " Look, come on, guys." " We loved playing Dragon tunes." " We couldn't imagine playing anything else." " I thought it'd be a goof." " A goof?" " Wouldn't you rather fail as yourself than succeed as a Bobby Beers clone?" " You can write a song about why I would wanna do that!" " All right, you're gone." " Just go!" " What's so fucking funny?" " Babe, come on." " Let's go." " Fine." " This is my mike stand!" " I'm taking it!" " These are my cables." " I'll get new cables." " Don't think I'm coming back." " I don't." " Well, that's because I'm not." " Good." " I'm serious." " If I leave, I'm not coming back!" " You said that!" " Shut up, Bradley." " Last time." " Emily." " If you still want to manage us, then it's okay with us." " Rob, I'm a businesswoman." " Rule one in this business is you go where the talent is and all the fucking talent that was in this band just left." " You know, those guys are so replaceable." " It'll take me five minutes to put together a band and blow them away." " Maybe this is just a sign." " You know, just time to move on." " I'm not in the mood to look on the bright side now." " No, this is an opportunity for you to write your own songs." " Why?" " Be another clown with a guitar, trying to get attention?" " No way." " Remember what you wrote for me on my birthday?" " No." " Yes, you do." " Come on, please." " It's embarrassing." " Are you done making fun of me yet?" " I love that song." " You're not getting it." " You're not hearing me." " I'm telling you, first time I ever saw you first time I laid eyes on you sophomore year, Bill Starbuck in The Rainmaker," "I said to myself, "Oh, my God, that guy's got it."" " I mean, my heart stopped." " And I said, "That guy is going all the way."" " I was just singing someone else's lines." " I did not write them." " My favorite color is rainbow." " Mine's mauve," "I said no." " Haley, did you answer the telephone?" " Thank you." " Sunshine Daycare." " Chris!" " Telephone!" " Telephone!" " You want to help me crack eggs?" " I want five." " Five eggs." " Chris?" " ls that Chris Cole?" " Who is this?" " This is Kirk Cuddy," "Ricki, your accent is as lame as your playing." " What do you suggest I do about my playing?" " Who is this?" " I told you, it's IKirk Cuddy." " I play in a band called Steel Dragon." " Maybe you've heard ofus," "I don't have time." " Hang on, hang on." " Listen to this, all right?" " Are you lip-synching?" " If this is IKirk, what did you call your third wife?" " Do we have to talk about that old slag?" " I called her Sugar Bum." " The second wife, too, It's why the third left," "Now I affectionately refer to all ladies as Tottie," "Is that enough for you?" " My God, this is unbelievable." " I was sorry to hear about your dog." " Pookie?" " Yeah." " I sent flowers but I didn't get a response." " But I figured you're so busy." " Can we get past the This ls Your Life crap?" " There's a ticket waiting for you for a flight to L.A. tomorrow." " Are you serious?" " Ofcourse I'm serious," "Tell no one about this," "Yes, sir." " Good man, I'll see you tomorrow," "Bye." " Right there." " I'm Chris Cole." " I'm Tania." " I work with the band." " You went out with Bobby." " You look like Bobby." " Is that all you brought?" " My manager." " We traded the first-class ticket for two coach." " How resourceful." " Yeah, well, I thought so." " What was that?" " Did you see that?" " Why are we here?" " I should let IKirk explain everything to you." " Are those your breasts?" " I'm sorry." " What?" " Your breasts." " Are they yours?" " Well, you know, I don't remember." " They're quite sensational." " Well, thanks." " That's just what I was going for." " So you're in a Steel Dragon cover band." " Tribute band." " Right." " I'm kind of sort of in between bands right now." " Your pants." " Emily had them made for me." " I bet they're easy to get in and out of." " So, when do we get there?" " Tania, is it?" " Tania." " Are you famous?" " No, we're nobody." " Sorry." " Well, you should be!" " Oh, thank you." " Bye." " Can you get us in?" " I'm just trying to get in myself." " Follow me, darlings." " This is Bobby's Twisted tour in '77." " Look at that." " See the dragon?" " That's Sammy!" " Look!" " It's a '58 Flying V in fire-mist gold." " And it's the real one." " Look." " The fingerboards are rosewood." " That's from the Delirious tour, right?" " Are you two coming or what?" " Yeah." " Sorry." " Wait right here, all right?" " Thanks a lot, Ralph." " That's great." " That's it?" " Yeah." " Very nice." " Thanks." " Lovely." " They're ready for you now." " What's up?" " Thanks for coming." " Not too fagged out?" " I don't think so." " Mats, the road manager." " I saw you in Pittsburgh." " You gave everybody a pass but me." " From the looks of you, I had good reason." " We saw a tape of you singing provided by Nina and Samantha." " Is the incredible voice really yours?" " Cocksuckers!" " That would be you, Bobby." " You think some child can replace me?" " You want to do your thing." " You're firing me?" " Calm down." " You calm down, you wanker!" " It's because I'm gay, isn't it?" " You're gay?" " No, I have pierced nipples and a house in Morocco because I'm John Wayne." " Have you listened to the lyrics of "Stand Up"?" " Did you really think that IKim was a girl?" " IKim was a guy?" " Yeah, IKim was a guy." " He's my lover, to the horror of these sausage-jockeys." " As if we give a toss." " Just keep your dick away from me." " Stop it, man." " You don't turn up for recording sessions." " You missed half the gigs, and when you did show" "I am Steel Dragon!" " Without me, you're nothing!" " Give us a break." " You'll be playing for coppers in the tube without me!" " We'll see." " Yeah." " We'll see." " What's going on?" " I don't know." " My scarf." " Take it." " Yeah, I will." " Good." " If I leave now, I'm never coming back." " Never." " Heard you the first time." " What you looking at?" " You think you can dress like me and be a star?" " No, sir." " You have no idea what it takes." " You think it's all sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll?" " You got the sex wrong." " I never touch drugs." " No one does a gig like I do half-cut." " Not even at your age." " And it's bed, 1 1 :30 every night before a gig." " That's what it takes." " Just do your own thing." " Get your own life." " It's like being bloody Elvis." " Except Elvis was the king." " And I'm just the queen." " Very funny." " Ha-bloody-ha." " Bastards." " You bastards." " Sorry about that." " Missed your cue." " Yeah, sorry, IK" "You do know this song?" " Yes, sir." " We'll pick it up just coming out of the intro." " I'm sorry." " We wasting our time here?" " Sorry." " Could I start it one more time?" " All right, go again." " Sorry about that." " I love you," "I love you," "Well, mate, do you want the gig, then?" " Look in the lens, guys." " Go." " Get in there more." " Give me attitude." " Two double-platinum records." " You're playing the Forum." " You got 20 girls who want to be with you." " Give me rock star attitude." " Hold that." " Here we go." " Hey, lzzy, let's try one with attitude." " No smile." " Sorry." " Better." " Now you're looking cool." " Come on, right in my lens." " Nice shot." " Attitude." " We combed this entire planet looking for someone heavy enough to pull this off and we found a star." " When this guy sings, you'll forget about Bobby Beers." " I promise you." " Izzy!" " ls that your name?" " Izzy?" " Yeah, the name's Izzy, like Izzy's Revenge." " Holy shit." " Izzy?" " I'm not calling him lzzy." " Can you hit all the notes Bobby can?" " That's why I'm in the band." " Stand up and shout" "How do you keep your voice in such great shape?" " My choir teacher gives me really cool exercises" "He eats a lot of pussy, that's how." " Yeah, I eat a lot ofpussy," "Classy." " Like father, like son." " That's my boy." " Come on, you guys." " How was I?" " So good." " So comfortable." " I messed up my accent." " It was great." " Nice way to handle that "pussy" line." " I can't argue with him." " Izzy, don't worry." " I'll make an honest man out of you." " I eat a lot of pussy." " Loads of it." " I eat a lot of pussy." " Tons." " I got my voice eating pussy, man." " It's a vocal technique exercise." " I got it eating pussy." " Loads of it." " All the time." " It's all I do." " Breakfast, morning, noon, night." " I've got to have it." " It's all I do, is eat pussy." " I love it." " Either get in here and do it or shut up." " Hold on." " Oh, shit!" " I eat pussy!" " Hi." " I'm lzzy's mother." " Have a good one." " I'll see you up there." " Did you see all the people?" " I know." " Just breathe." " You'll be great." " Nobody knows these songs better." " True." " Be yourself, Chris." " Don't get" "Izzy." " You'll be great, babe." " I love you so much." " I love you too." " All right, matey." " Time to go to work." " Sorry, darling, back to the henhouse." " I'm gonna sit with his parents." " Whatever twirls your beanie." " Come on, mate." " I gotta piss." " What?" " You gotta piss?" " Go now." " I can't." " Or you gotta use it." " Use it." " You're awesome." " Bye, babe." " Are you okay?" " Yeah." " Well, you're in my house now, mate." " And I ain't lost a man yet." " Let's do it." " Here we go." " Let's do it, Mats." " This is your coronation, my dear." " There you go." " All right, boy." " You're okay." " You won't need it, but there's a bucket in each wing, all right?" " Up you go." " All right, Mats." " Break a leg!" " Are you all right, lzzy?" " I'm all right." " Fantastic!" " IKeep going!" " Thank you." " You okay?" " Couldn't be better." " There's a bit up there." " That's it." " How do I look?" " Fantastic." " It's brilliant, mate." " Fucking brilliant." " Off you go." " I'm just a regular guy who grew up with posters of these guys on my walls!" " And now I'm one of them!" " That's right!" " I'm standing here, living proof that if you work hard enough and you want it bad enough, dreams do come true." " So follow your dreams, man." " Follow your dreams, because we all die young." " Fucking scintillating, baby!" " Quiet!" " Shut them up behind us." " Give us 10 minutes." " In we go." " Lock it up!" " Thank you!" " That was something really...." "Amazing!" " You were demented out there." " I thought I was gonna break my neck when I fell." " You brought the audience home." " You did fucking beautiful." " Thanks." " It was so heavy hearing the music played to perfection." " We heard it sang right." " Beautiful." " Right between the eyes." " It was incredible, man." " Thanks, IKirk." " The Dragons!" " All right, let's go." " Go." " Go." " Get the hell out of here." " Oh, my pass." " VIP." " Sorry." " I'm Chris' girlfriend." " Manager." " Who?" " Izzy's girlfriend/manager." " Yeah, right." " She's okay." " She's all right." " Go on." " I'm his mother." " How amazing was he?" " Brilliant!" " Our boy came through tonight." " He was on fire." " Where are you going?" " Oh, sorry." " I've got...." "No." " Go on back, darling." " I'm lzzy's brother." " I don't think so." " Mom!" " What did you think?" " Are you all right?" " I am so good." " Oh, man." " This is insane." " Arrest her for indecent exposure." " Out of my jurisdiction, bro." " Mats, get us the tequilas, will you?" " Ladies, you're on." " Got an initiation for you." " You joined, done a beautiful job." " Now I'll buy you a drink, mate." " Hello, ladies." " Thank you." " For lzzy!" " Hey!" " Hang on." " No hands." " No hands." " You're hanging with the hardcore now." " Two teeth, come on." " Go on, my son." " You're so bad." " Oh, my God." " The laws of gravity no longer apply." " I guess not." " You'll get used to it." " You build up a tolerance to it." " Right, okay." " I'll get that one going." " Some crazy stuff happens." " Oh, my God, it's amazing." " It's all good fun." " Just makes for good stories, you know?" " I'm beginning to have a couple of my own." " You can have a good time as well." " It's allowed." " Anything you want." " You just have to ask." " Don't forget." " Oh, I won't." " Cheers." " I'm gonna go to the dance floor." " Have you seen Emily?" " How you doing?" " I'm good." " I'm really good." " I'm great, actually." " Tell me something." " How's it feel to know that everyone in here wants to fuck you?" " You're serious?" " I can't stop touching you." " I can't keep my hands to myself." " You know, you've turned me into a silly little groupie." " There she is." " We were just talking about how stunningly beautiful you are, really." " Oh, God, you two." " Such a sexy couple." " If I were you, I'd spend all my time in bed." " Come on." " Sorry about that." " Relax, lover." " You were terrific last night." " Are those my pants?" " Yeah, they're a bit snug, but that's how I like them." " So you think...." "Let's not." " People, boat's leaving." " All aboard." " Quick as you can, please." " Thank you." " All right, two lovely people." " Quickly, boys." " Boat's going in a minute." " Good afternoon, my darlings." " Look, I've been meaning to tell you." " There's a longstanding rule that wives and girlfriends aren't allowed on the bus." " The boys don't like distractions when they're working on their music." " You can travel with the wives." " They're nice." " Yeah, well, who are they?" " That's IKirk's astrologer and his physical therapist." " And that, well, we all know what that is, right?" " We'd better go." " I'm gonna ride with Emily." " Oh, no." " Sorry." " You can't do that." " The boys need you there when they work on the tunes." " Go ahead, babe." " I'm fine." " Quick as you can." " You sure?" " Yeah, I'm sure." " I didn't know about the rule." " Yeah." " Just get on the bus." " Have fun." " You too." " Be careful." " The boys are waiting in the back." " They're working." " They need you." " What's up, lzz?" " What's up?" " Izz, you want some?" " I was gonna go over the schedule." " Suit yourself." " It's good for writing lyrics." " You know, he's a rock star now." " The normal rules don't apply." " I didn't say anything." " You didn't have to." " Somebody's jealous." " No." " No, I'm not." " I just know him and he's not that" "Like hell he's not." " He's a guy, isn't he?" " Look, we all know exactly what happens on that bus." " I met Ghode on that bus." " I didn't say anything." " I know it's crazy, but it comes with the territory." " You either drive yourself batty trying to change it or you adapt." " You gotta let him off the leash once in a while." " Or they get cranky." " At the end of the day, they always come home." " And who says you can't have your own fun?" " Exactly." " Do you want some?" " No, I'm good." " I just had breakfast." " Okay." " Here." " Hair of the dog." " Here's some advice from me." " Number one:" "Learn to share." " Number two:" "Get very close with his accountant." " And three:" "Don't sign anything." " I had to learn that the hard way." " You know what I always say." " If you love someone, let them go." " And if they come back to you with very expensive jewelry then it's meant to be." " I hope I am not as cynical as you are when I am your age." " Honey, she's 23." " 221/2 ." " 23" "I am 221/2 ." " You guys were at my birthday party." " I was born...." "Move aside, you scallywags." " You're getting in the way of future sales." " Be nice to this bloke from MTV." " They're not playing our videos as much since the boys trashed their set." " Tell them about that thing you do with your tongue." " All right, and here we are." " Thanks, Mats." " I'll be back in half an hour." " Mind your backs, please!" " Chris, I need to talk to you" "You can't call me that here." " I need to talk to you." " I gotta do this MTV thing, then talk to a producer" "I know your schedule." " I get a copy every day." " Then you know when I'm done." " I'm leaving." " Just meet me at the hotel." " I'm going to Seattle." " Come on." " Em, what the hell is going on in Seattle?" " Marci and I have been talking" "Who's Marci?" " You know who Marci is." " My roommate, Rob's girlfriend." " Sorry." " I know who she is." " I've got things on my mind." " I know, I know." " We've been talking about this business and we got our loan." " We're going to Seattle to" "When did you do this?" " While the wives were out shopping." " Is this a money thing?" " If you need money" "You know I didn't mean it like that, Em." " I swear." " Are you leaving me?" " No." " I'm not leaving you." " But I am leaving this." " I cannot do this every day." " I thought we're having a great time." " We are." " It has been fun." " But, baby, this is all happening to you." " And it's great." " But it's different for me." " I can't follow a bus all day." " You don't have to do that anymore." " We're getting our own car." " It's not about the car." " What is it?" " You know, it's wanting a life." " And I really want to do this thing with Marci in Seattle." " Can we hook up in Seattle when I get there?" " Of course." " Of course." " All right." " I'll talk to Mats and get you our numbers so you can call when you get there." " So I know you got there safe, all right?" " So I'll see you in Seattle?" " Can I give you some advice, mate?" " What's up, A.C.?" " Let the chick go, man." " So how are we doing?" " Lovely." " Thank you very much." " I'll be back to check on you." " I'm sure you will." " Freshening up the blood." " The liver doesn't work as good as it did when I was your age." " Listen, make it easier on yourself." " There's no way it can work." " You start off with the best intentions." " But there's so much pussy coming at you every day that finally it wears you down." " Then you crack." " Aren't you married to a supermodel?" " Yeah, you know why?" " Because I can." " And you can too." " You got these birds dreaming about having it off with you." " That makes the guys want to be you." " The guys are the ones that buy the records." " So if the chicks don't want you, the guys are gone." " I mean, put it this way:" "Your job is to live the fantasy other people only dream about." " Don't go in half-assed." " Dream big." " Live the life." " You running for pink slips?" " See you in hell, Bat Boy." " You ready, Robin?" " Go!" " You got yourself a Ferrari!" " Hello, Wichita." " Izzy?" " Oh, my God, is that Izzy?" " I love you!" " Watch out!" " Out of my bloody way!" " What's going on?" " His wife ran off with Peter Gabriel." " Let me get that." " That doesn't work." " Ladies, ladies, please." " A little bit of decorum, please." " Now, listen." " We've got limited space." " Just be patient." " I gotta check your credentials, so have your pussy passes out." " If I get to be with Izzy, I am going to shit bricks." " Well, yeah, that'll make a lasting impression." " Do you dance at Chubbies?" " No." " You should." " You have a killer body." " It's not totally nude there." " We wear G-strings, so the guys respect us way more." " Yeah, that is so true." " Nothing says "respect" like cramming a strip of Lycra up your ass." " Fucking-A, mama!" " Yes, that's fine." " You're absolutely fine." " Oh, hi." " Hello." " Now, that's a very important little P, isn't it?" " In you go." " Nice." " What's the "P" stand for?" " Yes, it's "pass."" " Oh, yeah?" " It's not "pimp"?" " No, it's "personal"...." ""Personal friend."" " Yeah, "personal friend of the band."  Yeah." " One sec." " I'm not here to check up on him." " I was invited." " He's doing interviews." " Interviews?" " Okay." " Tell you what, darling." " I'm not really sure where he is, actually." " If you'd like to wait just...." "Of course, wait here if you like." " He's actually down there." " What are you doing here?" " I live here, Chris." " I thought you were in Seattle." " We're in Seattle." " You're in Seattle." " I'm sorry." " You forgot." " No." " Yeah, you did." " You forgot I was coming." " Wait." " I did not forget you were coming." " Mats." " Told him to arrange" " Didn't I say to remind me she was coming?" " Shit." " I'm so sorry." " I really screwed up, mate." " What do you mean?" " Chris, please." " You don't need people taking falls for you." " Please." " No, Em." " I did not forget." " Chris, don't lie to me." " Please don't lie to me." " It might've slipped my mind." " But I didn't forget." " I remembered...." "I didn't remember, but I didn't forget, okay?" " Things get crazy." " It's hard to keep things straight." " I know." " I see that." " It is." " I know." " I see that." " Emily, you look great." " Come on." " You're wasted." " You're absolutely wasted." " No, I'm not wasted." " I'm tired." " Sorry." " I gotta do him first, because I gotta work at midnight." " Come over here." " Stand over here for a second, all right?" " Who are you?" " Izzy." " What is this?" " What?" " Izzy." " But you don't have to call me that." " It's me." " Call me Chrizzy, okay?" " You don't have to call me lzz." " Call me Chris." " Chris." " Well, I'm glad we talked." " I'm gonna go." " Emily, wait." " What?" " What?" " I'll go with you." " Go with me where?" " With you." " I'm gonna go to Seattle." " We're in Seattle, Chrizzy." " Sorry, sorry." " But are you guys done?" " Because l" "We're done." " Get going on this one because she's gotta be at work by midnight." " Dinner's canceled." " She's really sweet, but I was here first." " Why don't we go in here?" " Somewhere out of the way." " Can I get a picture, lzzy?" " All right, I gotta go." " Here you go." " Jorg, it's not very brutal." " Can we make it more raunchy?" " Sounds raunchy in here." " Maybe it's an E.Q. thing." " Just take a few minutes." " It needs a bit of bollocks to it." " E.Q. it or something." " Good hunting at your ranch?" " Great." " Everything I saw, I killed." " IKilled something every damn day." " You should bring your new fiancée up there." " She's busy at the moment." " Some yearbook committee." " got any body to it." " Hey, lzz." " What's up?" " Hello, Chrizzy." " How are you guys?" " What's with your eyebrow?" " Isn't it cool?" " You gotta clear it with us before you do that." " Worked on some songs for the album." " They're still rough but I wanted to get your input before I went further." " I don't know." " Just a thought, but isn't that a cool cover?" " No title, no band name." " Could be heavy." " What do you think?" " Izzy, it looks great." " It still needs work." " I'm glad you've been having fun writing songs." " I busted my ass working on the songs." " But the tunes have already been written." " What do you mean?" " A.C. and I wrote them during break." " I know you and A.C. do most of it" "Not most." " All of it." " But shouldn't I have some input?" " I'm singing the tunes, so you at least want my stamp." " I'm not just...." "You aren't just expecting me to be some singer-for-hire, are you?" " Let me explain." " Come here." " Listen, our fans, right, our loyal, die-hard fans our very lifeblood, if you will, expect to see certain things." " We give them what they want." " We don't deviate because one disappointed fan can turn into two to four, to eight, till the next thing you know we're playing to a half-empty hall." " And our lost sheep are off enjoying the rock stylings of, say, Ratt." " So while I understand your impulse to do your own thing and I admire it in some small way if you want to stay with Steel Dragon then you have to reconcile yourself to doing the Steel Dragon thing." " All right?" " And the Steel Dragon thing is that A.C. and I write the songs." " And you sing the songs that we write." " Am I clear?" " Yeah." " Good." " What's he doing?" " What?" " Just sing it like it's written." " I thought I was." " You weren't." " All right." " Sorry." " Great." " Theo, from the top." " Thanks." " Pretty good." " What is it when you do something to somebody and they hate it?" " Then somebody does the same to you and you hate it." " I suppose some might call it poetic justice." " I don't know." " All I know is I owe a guy named Rob a big fat apology." " That's for sure." " We all owe someone an apology along the way." " I mean, that's life, man." " A long, long time ago when I was at university I was married." " No." " You were married?" " It was before you boys and that rock 'n' roll music corrupted me, man." " Yeah, I still think about it sometimes." " She was really a very sweet girl." " What happened?" " If you don't mind me asking." " No, no." " One day we were sitting in the park." " Having lunch, me and the wife." " I needed to take a piss so I walked to the toilet." " You know, in the bathroom." " I'm standing there staring at the wall, as you do." " And all of the sudden, something came over me." " Like a fear that my whole life had already been laid out for me." " I'd finish my studies, get a job." " I'd be working for somebody else worrying about things that didn't matter." " So I walked out of there." " IKept going." " Didn't come back." " You just left her there?" " Yep." " Sitting in front of a half-eaten steak and kidney pie." " Very harsh, man." " She came to see a show a few years ago." " She hadn't changed at all." " She married my best friend." " A doctor." " They have three gorgeous little kids." " Yeah, she's very happy." " Very happy." " Thank you." " You know, I'm just a regular guy who grew up with posters of these guys on my walls." " And now I'm one of them." " That's right." " I'm standing here, and I'm proof if you work hard and want it bad enough...." "Dreams come true!" " That's right." " Dreams do come true so follow them." " Me?" " Awesome!" " What's your name?" " Mike, but my friends call me Thor, God of Thunder!" " IKnow the rest of it?" " IKnow them all." " I know all your moves." " I study you." " I love you." " You want to rip the roof off this place?" " Are you serious?" " Yep." " Go ahead." " Get out there." " Get out there, bro." " It's all yours." " Everything all right?" " Couldn't be better." " Taking a night off, are you?" " I'm gonna go take a piss." " I'll see you again." " Off you go."

" That's it." "" Mats," he said, "I really need a piss."" " One day I realized it wasn't for me anymore." " I was wearing the clothes and singing the songs."
