They've even been hanging

out of the windows! What rubbish.

This is a respectable hotel, madam.

Lillie Langtry has stayed here.

[Punk]

[Nancy] Baby!

Hi!

[Laughs]

Sid. Sid,

we've got company.

We gotta go.

Let me up. Whoa!

Sid! Nancy!

Sid!

[Grunts]

Stay where you are!

Stay where you are. I'm loaded.

[Both giggling]

Are you all right, Nancy?

Oh, yeah. We're just having fun.

It's lurch.

You want a cup of tea?

Get us a cup of tea!

[Sid] More sugar, if you can.

We have no roof service.

You're dead.

Look, we ain't got time for tea.

He's got to practice.

He's got a tour coming up.

No.

No, I don't wanna go.

I wanna stay here and have really good

screwing bye-byes. Sid. Sid.

Four words...

no women on the tour.

That's five words.

No way, Malcolm.

No f***ing way.

Yeah, right.

There's no way.

[Phoebe] Look, it's purely financial.

We can't afford... an entourage.

I'm not an entourage.

I know what you're feeling.

I know how important your relationship is.

But if you two

wanna stay together,

we'll just have to find

another bass player.

Sid Vicious is the Sex Pistols.

Bollocks.

Oh, yeah,

that's right.

You can't leave me behind.

Paul wouldn't stand for it.

We're the rhythm section.

Paul.

Look, it's only a month.

You can live that long

without each other, can't you?

[Chuckling]

And if you do survive,

I have been talking

to the record company.

They're going to buy you

a little house.

Oh.

How lovely for you.

You think I'm an a**hole,

don't you? Yes, I do.

You really think

you can buy Sid off of me?

F*** you.

Take him.

I only want

what's best for Sidney.

I don't wanna go

on your f***ing tour anyhow.

I got my own stuff to do.

Paul.

[Burps]

Paul.

[Sid coughing]

[Moaning]

Sid.

What are you doing?

Sid.

What?

Stay awake.

These are our last

two hours together.

Stay awake.

What for?

So I can talk to you,

so we can f*** some more,

so we can be together.

[Sighs]

Yeah, but wearetogether.

Come on, give me a break, eh?

Oh.

You give me a break.

I'm the one that's

getting left behind.

Kiss my toes.

F*** off.

F*** you.
