Helter Skelter Page #2

---

He's a big record producer.

Him and Dennis Wilson

are gonna make Charlie a star.

That's right.

We should get Doris Day

to come out here for a few days.

She'll forget all about Rock Hudson.

That thought that you're carrying...

...the one about your father...

...it's a very heavy thought.

And it's still holding you back,

because you're still giving it the reins.

It's my stepfather.

He hates me.

How did you know?

Well, you can't hide from me, you see?

I feel disposable.

I'm... I'm...

I mean, my husband, my father...

I don't really fit anywhere.

Well, how long are you gonna keep playing

your part in their game?

Your disposable role in the game

that they're playing with your life.

You, you're not disposable.

Look at you.

You're valuable. You're the most valuable

and perfect thing in this world.

You don't mean that.

You think I don't know

what it feels like to be looked through?

To be thrown away?

That's why we take care of each other.

See, I know who you are.

I can see you inside and out.

All your beauty.

All of your own beauty, you see?

Now, can you see mine?

I think so.

Come to now.

Now, where I am your husband now.

Where I am your father now.

Where I swear to you, you...

...you will never,

never be thrown away again.

I feel like you can see inside me.

Both hands on the wheel

where I can see them, please.

Step out of the vehicle!

Step out of the vehicle.

Turn around, put your hands on the hood.

Do you know you're driving

a dead guy's car?

Charlie?

Linda has something

she wants to give to you.

It's $5000 I took

from my ex-husband's friend.

The first time I ever stole anything.

I did it for you.

You...

You did good.

Now, did she steal?

- No.

- No.

And why not?

Because...

...everything belongs...

...to everybody.

Come on.

Creepy crawl.

It's coming.

Damn right.

Black man's been on the bottom too long.

It's whitey's turn now.

Helter Skelter.

Get ready.

What time did he call?

I don't know.

There's no clocks here.

Sadie took my watch. I just heard the

phone ringing so I picked it up.

Did he say anything else?

- Just that he was gonna stay quiet.

- What are you guys talking about?

Bobby got arrested yesterday

in Gary's car.

Does Charlie know?

He ain't coming, Charlie.

I thought he would be here

with all them record-type guys.

Well, I don't see him, do you?

You remember where he lives?

Yeah.

Dropped him off that night in Dennis, car.

Well, let's go.

Sharon, you're surrounded

by people on the movie set.

- Don't you want privacy?

- I don't want to argue about it.

- You were nice enough to let us stay here...

- There is plenty of room for both of you.

When Roman gets home,

you should have the place to yourself.

Roman loves you and Voytek.

- He wants you to stay.

- And I love Roman's movies.

And I would never do anything

to upset him so...

...wherefore, we'll stay.

,, Therefore.,, Your English is awful.

My English gets better by the day,

and soon, it will outrank yours...

...and people will think I'm the rich heiress.

- Hell, your English gets better by the hour.

Well, Roman sure does love a crowd.

- He doesn't mind Jay spending time here?

- Oh, Jay and I are over.

- Roman knows that.

- But does Jay know that?

Jay is...

...Jay.

- Oh, that might be Roman's trunks.

- This late?

So?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't see you standing there.

- I'm looking for Terry.

- Who?

Terry. Terry Melcher.

Terry Melcher?

He doesn't live here for months anymore.

- Terry doesn't live here anymore?

- That is what I just said.

Who are you to come

through the gate like that?

- Terry!

- Hey! I said there is no Terry...

- Terry!

- Hey.

- Terry, Terry, Terry.

- Hey!

Who is it?

Nobody.

No Melcher here. Good night.

You wouldn't believe

what they throw away.

Like, if nobody orders French fries...

...an hour after they, re made,

they throw them out.

It's like a law or something.

How's this?

Oh, excellent. Roughage.

I don't know what we'll do

when we get to the desert.

I guess Charlie's got it figured out.

Is Charlie really taking us

to the desert?

Yeah, after Helter Skelter comes down.

What's that?

Charlie only talks about it

with the guys, a war...

...between the blacks and whites,

the blacks are gonna start it...

...but we'll be in the desert by then.

How long have you known Charlie?

Oh, I met the soul

in San Francisco on the Haight.

I was dancing in a booby bar,

and I met him on the street.

He sang songs to me.

I would love to hear him sing.

He gave me the name Sadie.

you're in love with him already.

- Aren't you?

- Charlie is love.

I once saw him pick up a dead bird, breathe

on it, the bird flew away. He changes you.

Before I met him, I was totally lost.

I didn't even know what I was here for.

I hated everybody,

and now I love everybody.

That's what Charlie gave me.

That's what he gives everybody.

He just fills up the empty spaces.

Do you know he's Jesus?

Charlie.

Hey, man. Knock, okay?

Nobody showed.

Nobody showed.

We waited and we waited.

What the hell

are you talking about, Charlie?

Let's see now, when was that?

Oh, Thursday, yes.

Someone... Someone was supposed

to be coming by Thursday.

No one made any promises, man. Talk to

Melcher again if you think that will help.

Oh, Melcher, yeah. That was his name.

Well, I can't get to him, Dennis.

So here I am again.

Here I am as your brother,

once again, asking you...

...can... Would you call

him for me, again?

I, ll give him one more chance.

Be no problem.

Look, I did what I could.

I got you on tape, didn't I?

Well, yeah, maybe you got me on

a demo tape, man, but where is the deal?

Where is the album?

Where is that album

you know I got to get out?

- What do you want me to do, Charlie?

- How about doing what you said you'd do...

...Mr. Beach Boy?

- I didn't make any promises.

Maybe you scared Melcher away.

Well, I, ll tell you what.

I got a new song for you.

It's called,, I Need $ 1500.,,

Forget it, man.

You cost me thousands already.

I had to move out of my house...

...because you guys wrecked it.

- The way I see it...

...you thought you'd take my music...

...my music, tie it up in a little Beach Boys

bow, turn around and say,,, Charlie, no, no.

You don't have any money coming.

You don't have any money coming.,,

Is that right?

What the hell is this?

That's for you.

You go ahead, you take that.

And every time you look at that,

I just want you to think:

,, Oh, that's right.

Isn't it nice that I'm still alive?

Hey, I tried to help you, man!

It's not my fault that everyone thinks you're

some ungrateful, ex-con, pimp novelty act.

Melcher doesn't want anything

to do with you either.

Just stay the hell away from all of us!

How do we get everybody

to the bottomless pit, Charlie?

Gonna build a road

through Devil's Canyon.

we'll have enough dune buggies,

everything, ll be ready.

When is Helter Skelter gonna start?

That's what the Beatles
