Miles Ahead Page #6

'cause that's what's going to happen

when you go in there.

You get it? They will kill you.

You hear me?

Yeah.

Miles.

I'm sorry. Mr. Davis.

With this type

of degenerative hip disorder,

surgery and pain medications

are your only recourse.

Frances.

Frances!

Stop it, he's going to hear us.

I like that.

Oh, boy! That's Miles Davis!

Hey, hold it, buddy, hold it, buddy.

You see that line?

You're... Yeah. You're Miles Davis.

I'm sorry, Mr. Davis.

Do you have a ticket?

You're looking at it.

Come on!

That's Miles Davis!

Where is he?

Where is who?

Don't f***ing lie to me, I heard him!

- What are you talking about?

- Where is he?

- I don't know who you're talking...

- Come here!

Miles, wait!

Miles. Miles, wait!

Miles, there's nobody else. I'm yours!

What... Oh, my God!

Miles, you're hurting my arm.

Please, stop.

Miles, listen to what I'm saying.

Miles, there's nobody here!

Stop for a second, this is crazy!

Miles, what are you looking for?

Stop!

Listen to me, it's those pills.

They're making you crazy...

Oh, my God!

- Listen to me...

- Where is he?

Miles! Oh, my God, Miles.

Where is he?

He's over there. He's over there, Miles.

He went down there. He's down there.

Kill his ass...

I can't believe this sh*t.

Look at this motherf***er here, man.

Relax, he's not going to do anything here.

Wait, wait!

No, no, no, Miles, you go. Please.

I'm too scared. He said he would kill me

if I didn't leave you, Miles.

Okay. You go wait upstairs.

You wait upstairs for me.

I'll kill his ass.

Okay.

You don't know what the word

"lose" means, do you, Miles?

Miles!

Back up!

Jesus, come on, Miles!

Get my sh*t! Get my sh*t!

Got it, got it, got it!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Come on.

Frances!

Keys!

- Holy f***ing sh*t!

- Yeah, yeah.

Just keep going, all right?

Just keep going.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, Miles, we're gonna

get you fixed, all right?

We'll get you fixed up, man, don't worry.

Just take me home.

Hello?

You thought I wouldn't find you?

You make me come out there,

the only thing left is gonna be bullets.

You hear me?

I'm not coming back.

I... I'll kill myself, Frances.

I swear to God.

Please, Frances. I...

Frances, I love you.

I know you do.

Goodbye, Miles.

I'll grab a towel or something.

Yeah. Yeah.

These f***ing drawers are full of...

Miles, where do you keep your towels?

Miles?

Got it, got it.

Take it from C. Letter C.

When do you come in?

I'm in there.

- I don't hear any trumpet in it.

- I played organ.

The whole time?

Sh*t.

Look here, man, maybe you,

you know, go back to scales and, you know,

get your chops back, right?

Here, this is what you want, right?

Bye-bye.

Have a nice trip, junkie.

Take this f***ing fraud with you.

Come on, you're f***ing kidding, right?

Is that it?

I see. So, you're gonna

just get back in the hole now?

You're going to do more of this.

Isn't this where I came in?

You in here doing

all this f***ing what? Doing...

- Nothing.

- F*** you, Dave.

You ungrateful motherf***er.

Well, f*** you, man.

I'm not going down there.

I'm not getting in the f***ing hole.

Because I've got work to do,

I'm going to write the f***ing story.

- Is that right?

- I'm going to write the f***ing story.

The dirt. The truth about you.

And if Rolling Stone don't want it,

well, so what?

You know how many people

will pay for what I've got?

You may be a quitter,

but you're still a f***ing earner, baby.

Yeah.

Come on, you're Miles Davis.

Change it up, isn't that what you say?

Don't repeat yourself.

You've f***ing done this before,

the self-pity and burnout motherfucking part.

What was that?

It's that.

That ain't in there.

Yeah. Yes. Yes, it is.

Let me show you.

You start with the...

Start with the three...

Start with the three,

and then go to the tonic,

and then a flat six, and then B major.

Wait a minute, play that again.

Now this time don't play the F sharp.

Play... Play F minor seven

in that second chord. Play it.

Okay. So... So, like this?

With the seven.

- That's it. Yep.

- Yep?

Play it again.

- See that?

- Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, that's it. Now put it...

Voice it like this, though.

You know what I'm saying?

- See that with the D?

- But what's that going to do?

- It opens it up. Makes it a little cooler.

- Okay.

You can go anywhere with that.

If you're going to tell a story,

come with some attitude, man.

Don't, you know..

Don't be all corny with this sh*t.

Well, how would you say it, Miles?

Yeah. That's how I'd say it.

Your playing,

it really takes you on a journey.

Yeah, that's music.

You know, something clicked.

Is there any way that you could put that,

what you just played, into words?

You just did, man.

I gotta go.

I've got work to do.

Actually, Miles, I've many more...

Where's this guy...

Hey, Miles!

Are you coming back?

You better believe it.
