this communication, Johnny ?

By whatever we think

is relevant at the time.

And what is relevant

to you right now?

Not very much really,

Snydie.

Gretchen, girl.

What? Hey.

It's under that building.

That building?

[Children shouting]

[Man] Yeah? F*** you, you a**hole!

Where is it?

The money! Give us the money!

Where is the money?

Give us the money!

I want that money, kid.

I want it. Oi.

Cut it out.

Let him go.

He owes us three bucks, man!

I don't care. Leave him alone.

Who the hell

do you think you are? Sid Vicious.

[Nancy]

Hey, that was good.

[Gunfire, horses neighing on TV]

When was the last time

we f***ed?

I can't remember.

You miss it?

We can if you want to.

No.

Just give me a kiss.

[Shuddering]

[Coughing continues]

F***. This is

f***ing bullshit.

[Coughs]

[Chattering]

F*** you, man.

Ow!

Bum.

Look at these guys, man.

Alex. Hey, Nance.

What's going on?

Excuse me, man.

This is Sid Vicious here.

[Muttering]

Very nice. What do we have?

Put it in there.

Give me that. Yeah.

It's none

of my business, man,

but I don't know why

you hang with this chick.

F***in' junk hog,

let's face it.

On top of that, she's always

getting down on you,

bitchin' at you,

complaining.

Sh*t, man.

She's all right.

She don't mean it.

She ought to have

more respect for you.

If I had a girlfriend, she'd show me

some respect. Believe it.

What are you talkin' about,

respect? You don't know her.

She's gotten me these gigs at Max's.

We're both gettin' off the "h."

Smart move.

Smart move.

Is it my turn?

Yeah, maybe.

Don't get me wrong, Sid.

Nancy's great.

I love her.

You know what I'm saying.

[Sighs]

Did I leave a lot of money

around here?

I left a f***in' lot of money someplace.

I thought I might have left it here.

Mmm?

Can I have a little bit

of this for later?

All right, Sid?

Just that much.

Ow!

[Mutters]

[Siren wailing]

Do you have any idea who

has stayed here before you?

Dylan Thomas.

Excuse me. Watch the cat.

Thomas Wolfe.

Arthur Miller. Tennessee Williams.

This is not a place where

people set fire to their rooms.

I want shopping!

The Chelsea Hotel is a landmark.

It's a historic part of the

city of New York. I want shopping!

Do you know who has stayed here before?

I want shopping!

This is a historic landmark.

Shopping!

I want shopping!

Shopping!

I'm putting you in room 100.

It's on the first floor.

You won't even have to

wait for the elevator. You'll like it.

Look at that.

The door's open. [Chuckling]

Wait a second. Wait a second.

Excuse me.

Where are you going

with that lamp? This is our lamp.

You cannot move furniture

from room to room.

I forget where the fixtures are.

This is our lamp. We bought it.

Where's the tv?

There's no tv?

There's no tv!

Would you do me a favor? Go up to your

old room, take the television, bring it down.

He wants you

to like this room.

Bob Dylan was born here.

I haven't got anything.

Just my wake-up shot.

Nobody's holding downtown.

Bowery said he'd

meet us here.

Are you still

buying off bowery?

I heard he sold someone a paper

and, like, died.

That's f***ing bullshit.

Are you guys

still fighting, Nance?

He's real depressed.

Yeah. Jimmy's

real depressed too.

He broke three of my ribs.

[Shouts, indistinct]

[Banging on window]

We're being so stupid.

We should just leave 'em.

Yeah, sure. Love kills.

See ya.

Hey, Sid.

Hey, man. How are you doing?

Got any beer for me?

I got some tickets to see Bruce Springsteen.

F*** your tickets for f***ing

Bruce Springsteen! Man!

F*** off

and get me some smack.

Just for that,

you ain't goin'! Sid.

Sh*t.

Sid.

Sid, look at these.

We need these.

But I don't have any money.

[Nancy]

Sid, where did you put it?

I can't remember.

You did it without me.

Oh, come on.

If I had only enough

for one of us, I'd give it all to you.

Liar!

Aah!

F***! F***!

Flopsy f***ing thing!

F*** it!

You hate me.

I don't.

I don't.

[Groans]

Oh, god.

I wish I was f***in' dead.

Oh, shut up, please.

Quit goin' on about it. [Sniffling]

I've got more reasons

to be depressed than you.

You're much better off

than I am.

Why?

At least youused

to be something.

I've never been anything.

[Footsteps approaching]

[Keys jingling]

Is that bowery?

No.

It's that Dwarf.

He's not a Dwarf, Sid.

He's a little boy.

What would you know?

Little kids don't dress like that.

Oh, f*** you.

Oh, f*** you too!

Sid.

[Crying]

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I wish we had something

to hit as well.

[Meowing]

I wish we could get out of here.

Sid, Nance,

pull up your pants!

Yo!

[Nancy] Bowery.

[Sid]

What've you got? Not much.

You guys got

any soda around here?

[Nancy] Come on. Don't f*** around.

We got the cash.

Everybody's got the cash,

but nobody's holding.

I've been up and down

this island twice today.

Been all the way to Brooklyn.

Hate that f***in' town.

I've been reading this book.

Have you ever seen it?

[Nancy] Aw, come on. Just get us

straight, you shithole!

I'm sorry. I can't hear you.

What is it you're saying?

I said you were

a f***in' slime hole!

Don't f***in' talk to me,

you stupid little slut! [Shouting]

I don't need to hear your f***ing crap!

Give us what you've got or piss off!

Hey, all right.

Easy, easy. F***ing books!

You wanna know what I got?

Hold on. Yeah.

Here we go. Something for you.

You f***ing toad!

Don't get up.

I was just leaving. Wait!

F*** you, Nancy!

You people are rude!

[Nancy]

I'm sorry. What's that?

I'm sorry.

Better.

You two gotta watch your step, you know.

The buzz is out on you.

What's this?

Tuinals?

Yeah, what's this?

Speed.

Sulfate? You want some of this?

You want this?

Yeah. I never touch that stuff.

I'm too paranoid.

You guys are outside, man.

You shoot that stuff,

it's gonna make you sick.

What about the dilaudid?

Tried. I couldn't get ahold of the guy.

You got a phone?

I'll try again.

Yeah.

It's in the lobby.

The phone is in the lobby.

Right.

[Sighs]

No promises.

But for

my famous friends...

I go the extra mile.

You guys aren't going anywhere, are you?

[Chuckles]

[Tv, indistinct]

My eyes hurt.

The TV's so bright

it hurts my eyes.

[Amplifier off]

Oh, f*** it.

Just broke, sort of blinking

at them, you know.

A dolly, I suppose.

It's something I can't remember.

Shut up.

Listen.

What?

I can't hear nothing.

No.

Listen to me.

I don't want to.

Why not?

I don't know.

I just don't.

What are you

waiting for?

Bowery?

[Chuckles]

Bowery doesn't f***ing matter.

What does?

You.

And?

You.

[Sid]

I'm just not going to, okay?

[Nancy]

You have to. You promised.

Yeah, well,

I changed me mind.

You can't!

You can't change your mind.

We said we'd go out together. You

can't change your mind. Of course I can.

I just did. I did.

No!

Blaze of glory!

You promised!

You promised!

I'm getting out of this place.

I'm going back to England. No! Why?

'Cause I wanna get straight,
