Eddie and the Cruisers Page #6

But you're wrong.

They want

on the dark side!

What are we giving 'em,

some damn opera?

I don't know even know

what you're after.

I want something great,

I want something

that nobody's

Ever done before.

Why? We ain't great.

We're just some guys

from jersey.

If we can't be great,

then there's no sense

In ever playing music

again, Sal.

I blame this on you.

It was you!

We were doing good

till you came along,

And you got us

all screwed up!

Eddie, wait!

Eddie, the music's great.

Those guys are wrong.

It really is.

Eddie,

what is this place?

I used to hang out here

when I was a kid.

There used to be

this old guy

Who owned the place.

What a dreamer.

He would sift

through the garbage

And put aside

bits and pieces.

Come on. I'll show you.

Come on.

He actually believed

That you could

build a castle

Out of

a bunch of junk.

What a crock.

Holy sh*t.

What a phony.

Here we are, guys.

Right where we belong.

You got your edsels...

norges...

Dumonts...

and Eddie Wilson.

Together at last,

Creating our own

incredible monument...

to nothing.

Here's to nothing,

fellas!

Here's to nothing!

there were

so many things

I wanted to say to him,

So many questions

I wanted to ask.

But Eddie and I,

we had a deal.

We never talked

about the future.

We thought the present

was so fine.

Why ruin it

by planning ahead?

But as Eddie drove off,

I knew...

I knew it then...

there wasn't going

to be any future.

In the morning,

They told me

Eddie was gone.

They hadn't

found his body.

That was always

the hardest part to accept.

I know you're gonna

think Im crazy,

But I have to

tell you something.

Last night

there was a car

Sitting in my driveway.

A '57 Chevy.

Just like Eddies...

Joann, that car was destroyed

in the accident, remember?

I know,

but whoever it was

Must've seen me

looking out the window.

He blinked

his headlights

High, then low,

then high again...

just like Eddie.

It can't be.

It can't be him.

Well, who then?

Who?

It's not Eddie.

Whoever it is

that's watching

Is looking to cash in

on those tapes,

But it is not Eddie.

Frank...

I know where

those tapes are.

After the accident,

I had to say good-Bye

in my own way.

I went to satin records,

Got the tapes,

And drove back

to palace depression.

Take me there.

Watch your head.

Are you there?

Yeah.

Hold my hand.

Come on.

there.

give me a light.

See it?

I feel something.

It's in a box.

A wooden box.

I got it.

Let's go. Come on.

There's gonna

be a left soon.

Just past

the gas station.

There's some of you,

you know.

Yeah, I see.

That one was

always my favorite.

Hello.

when the moon hung

soft and low

there was stardust

in the night...

Who is this?

you held me closer

and closer...

Damn it,

who is this?

Oh, frank.

Oh.

No, don't.

It's ok.

It's ok.

That's it!

Huh?

It's Eddie!

He's coming over.

That's our signal.

It means get ready.

I...

I have to go.

He'll be here

any minute.

I got to go.

Oh, frank, Im sorry.

I got to go.

Eddie.

It is you.

Yes. Yes.

Sure, I have them.

Yes.

I'll be waiting.

Yes. Yes. Eddie.

I'll be alone.

Yes. Oh, hurry.

Please, hurry.

Frank?

Frank!

Hey, baby,

what's the holdup?

Eddie?

Come on, let's

get on with the music.

Frank!

Frank!

What are you doing?

Frank, don't! Don't!

Son of a b*tch!

You... you!

Ok. Ok.

Ok, ok.

why did you do this?

Short cuts, kid.

I never could do things

the easy way.

Oh, doc.

Why this whole game?

The car business?

I figured...

Joann had the tapes.

I knew she wasn't

gonna give them to me.

Maybe you, Wordman.

Maybe she'd

give them to you.

What would you do if you

had the tapes, doc?

Try me.

Just try me.

I'd have it made.

For once

in my life...

Id bring home

a winner.

I'd like that.

I once asked Eddie

why he kept you around.

You know what he said?

He said,

"doc's a dreamer.

And the world

needs dreamers. "

He was the only

real friend I ever had.

Yeah.

Here.

Go on, kid.

Your ticket

to the bigs.

Come on, take them.

I'm gonna do this

for all of us.

I mean that.

I'll make you

proud of me.

Listen, Im gonna

make the sweetest deal

You ever heard.

They don't know it yet,

But they're gonna be

dealing with doc Robbins,

The big bopper!

And Im gonna be coming

on strong, staying long.

Talking loud

and drawing a crowd.

Hey, man...

Eddie and the cruisers,

coast to coast.

I ain't just

talking jersey!

Go get 'em, doc!

Let's go inside.

dark side's calling now,

nothing is real

she'll never know

just how I feel

from out of the shadows

she walks like a dream

makes me feel crazy,

makes me feel so mean

well, nothing's gonna save me

from a love that's blind

slip to the dark side

across that line

on the dark side

oh, yeah

on the dark side

oh, yeah...

the innocence

of the fifties was over,

And so was rock 'n' roll

as we knew it.

We were entering

a new age.

An age of confusion,

An age of passion,

of commitment.

Eddie Wilson

saw it coming.

Season in hell

Is a total innovation

for its time.

It was a signal

of greatness yet to come.

Eddie Wilson was

a step ahead of us,

And I don't think we've

caught up with him yet.

Eddie's been dead

for almost 18 years,

But his music

is as alive today

As the day he recorded it.

For me and for everyone

who listens to music,

Eddie Wilson lives...

and always will.

fire

fire

love is the fire

burnin'

and I wanna burn

Eddie! Eddie!

Eddie! Eddie!

Eddie! Eddie!

Eddie! Eddie!

Eddie! Eddie!

Eddie! Eddie!

Eddie! Eddie!

Eddie! Eddie!

strangers cruisin'

down the south strip

cool cats searchin'

for some hot lips

night shift neon

ribbons flash forever

rebels lace midnight

in black leather

shipwrecked pirates claim

their treasures in the sand

sidewalk surfers ride

the streets in super vans

beach fires light the faces

of the gypsy caravan

open up your door

we'll let those

lake pipes roar

into the

wild summer nights

oh, baby, those

wild summer nights

summer nights

wild summer nights

oh, baby, those

wild summer nights

oh, baby, run wild

summer nights
