Not Fade Away Page #2

college $2,000 a year for.

There's people with

longer hair than me.

Fags.

Look at the coat.

Looks like he just got off

the boat at Ellis Island.

What?

He kills himself down at

that store six days a week,

plus Friday till 9:00,

with that psoriasis.

And this is what you do?

I will play just the one song.

Leave 'em wanting more.

One second!

Dial.

Ivory.

Colgate Palmolive.

What does that mean?

I left my roach clip at Oberlin.

What's a roach clip?

F*** the roach clip. Here.

Watch how we do things

at Steinholz Academy.

Get creative.

Come on in there! I got to go!

Flush it down the john!

Our futures could be ruined!

Waste not, want not.

Come on! Whoever's in there!

Don't get so uptight, man.

Come on, already!

This is so unfair.

What do you mean,

he went home?

The popular girls only came here

to see the band.

We can't do the song

without our lead singer.

I should have just

listened to Dave Smith.

He said he wanted

to bring his band over.

They do all John Lennon.

I'm into advanced time

signatures, 5/4, 6/8...

Will you just play the song?

I told you I'd give

you a box of M-80s.

Everybody! Let's hear it

for the Gene Gaunt Band.

Wait. Wait. No.

One, two, three.

Wait. Wait.

You suck sour owl sh*t!

What's this crap?

He's not the lead singer of the band.

# Time is on my side

# Yes, it is

# Time is on my side

# Yes, it is

# Now you always say

# That you wanna be free

# But you'll come running back

# You'll come running back

# You'll come running back

# To me

Easy!

# Time is on my side

# Yes, it is

# Time is on my side

# Yes, it is

# You're searching

for good times

# But just wait and see

# You'll come running back

# You'll come running back

# You'll come running back

# To me

# Go ahead, baby.

Go ahead.

# Go ahead and light

up the town.

# And, baby, do anything

your heart desires.

# 'Cause you know

# I'll always be around.

# And I know, I know,

# like I told you so

many times before,

# you're gonna come

back to me, baby.

# Come back,

knocking on my door.

# Time, time,

time is on my side

# Yes, it is

# Time, time,

time is on my side

Yeah!

You suck sour owl sh*t!

Jocks, go home!

A bientot!

See you Monday.

Bye!

Happy Thanksgiving,

everybody.

Easy for you to say.

- Who won?

- Hancock,

The new coach, he's a lollapalooza.

Thanksgiving at

Aunt Louise's is nice,

but why don't we have

everybody over here

for some holiday?

In that postage stamp

of a dining room?

Yeah, there are

a lot of people.

My sisters are

as free as birds.

They don't have to work. I do.

It's nice, too, isn't it?

They know that,

but they have me bring the antipasto.

Think the Army's gonna

let you drive tanks

dressed like a fruit?

The Army?

Why would I want

to join that?

What the hell you

talking about?

We had a whole conversation.

When?

Vietnam is ridiculous.

What did you say?

Plus, this friend of mine,

he said that in World War ll

they threatened black soldiers

with hanging

for looking at white women.

Why would I want

to be associated

with an institution like that?

Look at him. High heels.

They're Cuban heels.

You wanna wear Cuban heels,

go live in Cuba.

They have nothing

to do with Castro.

They're n*gger shoes!

- Pasqual!

- Don't "Pasqual" me.

He looks like he just

got off the boat!

You already said that.

That hurt!

Let me tell you something,

my friend.

One day, you and me,

we're going to tangle.

Go ahead. Try it.

You want me to try it?

You left and went to college,

now you're a tough guy?

I'll try it.

Stop it! Both of you!

Don't make me use

my judo moves, man!

I want to kill myself!

My shirt!

Be careful not to

track any snow in.

Hi, Grace.

I'm not content

to be with you in the daytime

Girl, I want to be

with you all of the time

Oh, hey.

- I really like your dress.

- Thanks.

- Did you get it for Christmas?

- Yeah, from my mother.

- It's nice.

- The music's neato.

I'm going to check

out the band.

Great party.

# All day and all of the night

# I believe that you

and me last forever

# Oh, yeah, all day

and nighttime yours

# Leave me never

# The only time I feel all right

is by your side

# Girl, I want to be with you

all of the time

# All day and all of the night

# All day and all of the night

It's too f***ing cold.

Let's go inside.

Yeah. Okay.

She may not be coming

back to school next year.

Are you serious?

Where is she gonna go?

- I don't know. Rutgers?

- Really?

That grass seemed

kind of weak.

You smoke a lot at Vassar?

This guy from Harvard

I was dating, he did.

Harvard?

The guy liked that place?

I guess.

He's an adjunct professor.

Medieval Persian poetry.

Your basement is cool.

That.

Yeah.

So, what, you're not going out

with that guy anymore?

The Persian guy?

He's not Persian.

That's not what I said.

How come you never

talked to me in high school?

We talked.

Miss Vogel's class?

Once. You said something

about the pencil sharpener.

I really liked you.

- Yeah, I know.

- You knew that?

F***ing Wells.

He didn't say anything.

You like Wells,

don't you?

My parents and his mother

belong to the club.

Anyway, he likes this

girl at Oberlin.

But you like him, don't you?

He's funny.

He makes me laugh.

- You have a good voice.

- Pardon?

Thanksgiving at Karen's house,

when you sang lead?

The band sounded more

soulful than tonight.

I hope that doesn't

piss you off.

Anyway,

it's just my opinion.

You guys don't have

a name yet?

Wells' latest idea:

He wants to call us

the Lord Byrons.

He's got a lot of say.

He's an art genius,

trades off lead guitars, keyboards.

Time is on your side.

If you are at home

when a surprise attack occurs,

crawl beneath

a table if it is very near.

Or drop to the floor

with your back to the window.

The immediate danger

is over in about a minute.

The ball is moving!

Five! Four!

Three! Two! One!

Happy New Year!

He won't even call me!

I'm so sorry.

Let's go upstairs.

He won't even call me!

You're gonna be all right.

Submitted for

your approval,

one Max Phillips.

A slightly worse-for-wear

maker of book

who is soon to

discover that man is

not as wise as he thinks,

said lesson

to be learned in

the Twilight Zone.

Grace went to the Little Falls diner

with some people.

I was just looking

for a bathroom.

Could you help me with this?

Robert Johnson.

I so dig Chicago blues.

That's all we played

during Freedom Summer.

Delta blues.

Chicago's electric.

- You were down there?

- Voter registration.

Cool.

Did she say who she was

going to the diner with?

Would you like to watch

my sister eat?

No.

I don't get it.

How come the English

knew all about the blues

and we didn't?

Yet it's been right here

under our nose the whole time.

I've seen Gracie

make a poop,

if that holds any

interest for you.

Lead Belly.

"Jump down, turn around,

pick a bale of cotton."

We sang this stuff in

elementary school.

Huddie Ledbetter and Lead
