American Satan Page #10

where you're gonna do

Kundalini yoga.

You're gonna meditate,

you're gonna detox.

F*** that. I don't have

a problem getting on stage

and I'm not going to some

dumbass hippie retreat.

Lily. Lily.

Okay, look.

I told your mother

I'd make this happen.

You're lucky to have her.

I'll go. I'll go.

It's not gonna be easy,

but you gotta do it, man.

- You gotta do it.

- Okay.

Dude.

All right.

(SIGHS)

I'm gonna go try and find her.

(SIGHS)

Time the path will see

I will never leave

(SNIFFLES)

Hey, it's Gretchen.

Sorry I missed your call.

Leave a message

and I'll call you back.

You're the love of my life

and I can't do this anymore.

Please just call me back.

No.

Yeah. Okay, bye.

Wow, do you always

crawl back like that?

(SIGHS)

Listen, we have to discuss

plans for Hellfest.

It's time for me

to make you a legend.

What are you talking about?

The onstage ritual.

Now look,

I'm gonna give you a gun.

And then I'm gonna have

a mentally unstable person

attack you

during the first song.

You just blow his head off and keep

playing like nothing's happened.

- I won't do that.

- Well...

I'm afraid all the band

has agreed to this.

And it is a democracy,

so you've gotta do your part.

And then, you know,

just take a year off.

You can spend time

with that lovely mumsy of yours

and just work on your new album.

I didn't start playing music

to promote killing.

You know,

it's religion

that separates humanity,

but it's music

that brings us all together.

You know, more people are killed

through religious conflict

than any other reason.

We are all our own gods.

If you want to find the answers,

you have to look

inside yourself.

not up to the sky.

Our carnal desires

are not to be suppressed.

They are to be liberated.

And sin? (CHUCKLES)

Sin is simply

a matter of opinion.

You're right.

Religion does separate.

It created you.

But I have my own free will.

Yes, you do.

It's a pity you can't use it

to stop being a junkie.

You could tell the truth

to all the women in your life,

your dear lovely mother,

Lily,

Gretchen.

You disappoint me.

(PHONE RINGING)

- (PHONE BEEPS)

- Hello?

Hey, hey, don't hang up,

don't hang up.

Look, (STUTTERS) I just... I need you

to come down to The Rainbow right...

No, no, no, that was a mistake.

No, no, you're the love

of my life. She's not...

No, no, no, no.

(THUDS)

Something takes a part of me

("FREAK ON A LEASH" PLAYING)

Something lost

And never seen

Every time I start

To believe

Something's raped

And taken from me

Life's gotta always

Be messing with me

Can't they chill

And let me be free?

Can't I take away

All this pain?

I try to every night

All in vain

In vain

Sometimes

I cannot take this place

Sometimes it's my life

I can't taste

Sometimes

I cannot feel my face

You'll never see me

Fall from grace

Something takes a part of me

You and I were meant to be

CAPRICORN:

How very apropos.

How glamorous and sexy.

A handsome young man

in his early 20's...

dead.

Leather jacket, ripped jeans,

his Doc Martens

and a hit record.

Ah.

What could possibly

be edgier and cooler than that

in the good old US of A?

Adoring fans

who'd rather take a picture

of him lying on the floor

than call 911.

Ah, Hollywood.

You know what I always told you?

It's not what you see,

but what you feel.

What you feel.

What you feel. Well...

You're gonna feel this.

Together

We will live forever

- (GASPS)

- (MACHINE BEEPING)

What is this?

You overdosed.

- Johnny.

- (DOOR CLOSES)

I'm gonna go.

Gretchen, don't...

Look, I-I'll get clean.

I hope you find yourself.

The real you.

Can't you just stay

for a little bit?

I'll pray for Johnny.

(WHISPERS) F***.

(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

How are things for you out here?

Well, actually, I met someone.

When you're back on your feet,

I'd love for you to meet him.

(SCOFFS)

Man, look at you.

Being a rock star

is an intersection

between who you are

and who you wanna be.

You hold the key

to your own destiny.

It's about time

you start looking for the lock.

GURU:

Welcome, I am very thankful.

You have chosen to heal with me.

JOHNNY:

Thank you for having me.

(INAUDIBLE)

(CROWD CHEERING)

Relentless! Relentless!

Relentless! Relentless!

- (CROWD CHEERING)

- (DRUMS BEATING)

Okay, Johnny,

we're on in three minutes,

and Lily

is still not f***ing here.

- Can we push our set time back?

- Not a chance.

The county will shut us down.

They've got a hard curfew.

(CROWD CHEERING) Relentless!

HAWK:
This will turn

into Woodstock '99 chaos.

KAT:
Johnny. This is who

I was telling you about.

(KISSING)

- Samael, meet my son, Johnny.

- (CHUCKLES)

Hey, Johnny. Man,

congratulations on your success.

And this is such

a cool festival. (CHUCKLES)

Hawk, escort my mother

to the soundboard, please.

- I wanna watch from the stage.

- Yeah.

Go, now.

See you in a minute.

Watch your tone.

Mm. Ooh. (CHUCKLES)

How f***ing dare you?

I f***ing dare you.

Now you get on that stage

tonight, and you kill! You hear me?

And I'll leave mumsy alone.

Hmm? Good.

Come on, guys.

We got a show tonight!

(CROWD CHEERING)

Oh, um...

This will get you on the stage.

(CAPRICORN CHUCKLES)

You know,

we both have free will,

yet we both standing here.

You know, a puppet is free

as long as he loves his strings.

You're not controlling

the storm.

You're not lost in it, either.

You are the storm.

Question, what's it all for?

(CROWD CHEERING) Relentless!

Relentless! Relentless!

Relentless! Relentless!

Relentless!

Relentless! Relentless!

Found her. (SIGHS)

We gotta get going right now

so let's loop an intro.

You come in,

then you follow, all right?

Okay. I gotta tell sound

what the hell's going on.

Stay with her.

Not one second

do you leave her alone.

Where were you?

I had to get a fix. I thought

I could last till after the set.

F***, I gotta piss.

(SIGHS)

("BAD OMENS" PLAYING)

Hey, Johnny.

Remember the easiest place

to hide a secret?

So tell me,

how does it feel to know

that the person

you've been f***ing

is the same person

that your mother's been f***ing?

I see through you

I know what you are

I've seen the devil

More than I've seen God

I'm a real motherf***er,

aren't I?

(CROWD CHEERING, SCREAMING)

I hope you choke on every

F***ing word you said

I see through you

I know what you are

I seen the devil

More than I see God

Shoot it in me.

Pull the trigger.

LILY:
Pull the trigger. Shoot it in me.

- LILY:
Pull the trigger. Shoot it in me.

- (INAUDIBLE)

On every f***ing word

You said

- I see through you

- (GUNSHOT)

CAPRICORN:

You didn't actually think

I was the f***ing bass player,

did you?

You know the best time

to burn a lie

into one's soul

is in the heat of anger.

What did you want to change most

in the world with your music?

Humanity's obsession

with religion.

It divides us.

Whether it's Jesus,

or Mohammed, or Moses.

We...

We're all brothers and sisters.
