American Satan Page #9

And where we are as a society.

It's both fascinating and scary.

The power of music.

So that means that you agree

or disagree?

Well, there are more

dimensions to our consciousness

that need to be healed

and explored.

I believe in not everything you

say is a, um, yes or a no,

or right or a wrong answer.

Um, thank you.

I'm gonna go lay down now.

I'd like to go lie down myself.

Not really sure what I'm supposed

to do or say at this point.

(SNIFFLES)

Nothin' I say up here's gonna

bring back my best friend.

(SNIFFLES) Nothing's gonna help

make any sense of what's happened.

Thank you for all the laughs.

For all the smiles...

(SNIFFLES)

Thank you for believing in me

(SNIFFLES) and encouraging me

to follow my dreams.

(SOBBING)

You're forever in our hearts,

Ricky.

In honor of Ricky,

I say we keep this train rolling

full speed ahead.

You know it's exactly

what he would've wanted.

Yeah, I reckon so.

Good.

It's time for our world tour.

You're icons now.

The controversy, the sex,

the fame, the power,

it's all part of the ride.

Don't get lost in it.

And lay off the f***in' drugs.

Are you ready to embrace it?

(SNIFFLES) All of it.

HAWKS:
Understand

these fans are maniacal.

They know where we're going

before we do. Let's go.

(FANS SCREAMING)

("PENDULUM" PLAYING)

- We lose control

- Like a pendulum

I forgot where I came from

- With the weight of regret

- We lose control

Swing me

Back and forth again

Like a pendulum

I forgot where I came from

Darkness, I gave in

Now I'm picking up

The pieces of my broken heart

Darkness, I gave in

Now I'm picking up

The pieces of my broken heart

- We lose control

- Like a pendulum

I forgot where I came from

- With the weight of regret

- We lose control

Swing me

Back and forth again

Like a pendulum

- I forgot where I came from

- We lose control

American Satan

We lose control

American Satan

We lose control

American Satan

We lose control

(LEO SNIFFLING)

When we were 13,

Ricky promised me

we'd sell out Wembley together.

("WHAT IT IS" PLAYING)

I shouldn't have left him alone

that night.

Not for a second.

You don't know how to live

With what it is

What it is, what it is

It may seem impossible

(SOBBING)

If it's a son of a b*tch

Only terrified

Well, that's what it is

(CROWD CHEERING)

They're only giving you four

days off before your next tour?

Yeah.

Let me help you.

Oh, my God.

I always let you do

whatever you wanted.

Mom, it's not your fault.

- Yeah.

- I swear, I'm done.

(CROWD CHANTING)

Relentless! Relentless!

HAWK:

Okay, Johnny.

You gotta get your ass out

on stage, man.

This is dangerous territory,

kid.

I can't. (SNIFFLES)

I can't use any more.

- (CROWD CHANTING)

- MAN:
Hawk!

They were supposed

to be on an hour ago.

What's going on?

I got serious tension up there.

The crowd security...

- Listen! Lay off my f***in' back!

- (JOHNNY COUGHS)

Can't you see

this kid's f***in' sick?

(CHANTING)

Last time, at a sold out show,

20,000 people up there.

Headliner cancelled. Sixteen in

the hospital, two didn't come back.

- I get it.

- Okay? Get him up.

I get it. I understand.

(CROWD CHANTING)

(PHONE BEEPS)

HAWK:
Elias. We got a

bad scene goin' on here.

Johnny is going through

heroin withdrawals.

The f***er cannot even walk.

There's no way this kid's

going on stage tonight.

Damn it.

You can't risk

the lives of the crowd.

So, what do you want me to do?

Shoot him up.

And bring him home.

(SIGHS)

("BASIC NEEDS" PLAYING)

Okay.

Johnny. I'm sorry.

I don't feel hunger

I don't need it

This body remains

Because I know you are there

I don't need shelter

Nothing at all

The reason I'm here

Don't you know

That you're all

My basic needs

Is that it over there?

Yeah. I got you. Come on, guys.

Come on, Johnny.

Johnny, wait.

Oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, wait.

Wait a minute, ladies.

You can't be back here.

I bought VIP tickets for my

daughter to meet the band.

Okay, but the meet and greet

ended hours ago,

and now you need to get behind

the barrier, please.

I'm not talking about that one.

I want her to go on the bus.

(CROWD SHOUTING)

(SCOFFS) You really think

that's a good idea?

Listen, I know what time it is.

Tonight is a bonding experience

with my daughter.

Her dream is to lose

her virginity to Johnny.

I'm 18 and ready.

And you can't think of a better

way to bond with your daughter?

No phones, no cameras.

("18 AND LIFE" PLAYING)

Eighteen and life you got it

18 and life you know

Your crime is time

And it's 18 and life to go

Eighteen and life you got it

18 and life you know

Your crime is time

And it's 18 and life to go

How about we slam some shots

and have some fun ourselves?

Darlin',

I've been sober longer

than your daughter's been alive.

What a bore.

Tequila in his heartbeat

His veins burned gasoline

It kept his motor running

I want you to take my virginity.

I don't think

that's a good idea, darling.

When I play with myself,

the only that gets me off

is you.

Okay, you should go.

Had a courtship with a gun

DYLAN:

I am the crawly man

Doing all the crawl

That I can, I can

I hope you're ready to share.

- Hello.

- Ooh.

Oh.

(LAUGHS)

I'm just

a lonely little bloke

Gonna do a cougar

And a little more coke

(MOANS)

(SNORTS)

(GRUNTS)

(CHUCKLES)

Accidents will happen

They all heard Ricky say

He fired his six-shot

To the wind

F***, this is depressing.

(MOANING)

Hey, darling.

Looking for God on the back

of a tour bus?

(GIRL PANTING)

It's just that f***ing good,

isn't it?

Eighteen and life you got it

18 and life you know

Your crime is time

And it's 18 and life to go

Mom?

Mom?

Mom! Mom, what the f***

are you doing?

- HAWK:
Hey! Hey! Hey!

- Oh, my God!

- I'm telling Dad!

- Get out of here!

- Get out of here!

- No!

The bus is leaving now.

Don't you f***ing tell me

what to do.

Take your drama

the f*** elsewhere.

We're leaving!

(SLOW ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(GROANS)

(CROWD CHATTERING)

Oh, you look great.

(SNIFFLES)

I would confirm the offer for us

to headline Hellfest in California.

- Are you f***ing serious?

- Yes, I am.

- Hell yeah.

- ELIAS:
Yeah.

Where are the other dudes at?

They happen to be a little

angry right now.

ELIAS:

I, uh...

I had to cancel

the rest of the tour.

LILY:

What?

That's bullshit, Elias.

Really?

Did you two happen to f***...

(BOTH YELLING)

ELIAS:

...a teenage virgin yesterday?

WOMAN:
Why don't you give us some speed

pills if that's how good it felt...

WOMAN 2:

Oh?

- ELIAS:
Her father blew his own head off.

- (WOMEN ARGUING)

- (GUNSHOT)

- F***.

You cannot talk to anybody

about last night.

But why is the tour cancelled?

Oh, I wonder why.

Maybe it's because you both

were strung the f*** out.

Now she doesn't have a

f***ing dad because of me.

You ever think about Ricky?

Huh?

What you're doing to yourselves?

I'm gonna send you out to Malibu
