of what that money'll

bring you.

Then you'll realize

I'm the one with the brains

around here

and you'll start

treating me a bit nicer.

You know, nobody ever had

a hold on me the way you did.

I would have done

anything for you.

A long time ago

I would have thought

you were worth it.

Not anymore, babe.

Where do you get off

talking to her like that?

She's way out of your league,

musclehead.

This is the grand

I promised McCoy.

You can keep the rest.

You know what's wrong

with that guy? He's stupid.

I'm sorry, Billy.

What are you sorry about?

Where are you going?

Where you going?

ELLEN:
Tom!

Tom, wait!

Tom, wait!

What was I supposed to do?

I hadn't heard from you

in two years. You didn't

even write me a letter.

What did I do

that was so wrong?

You gotta go away.

You fought enough fights,

you can let this one go.

With both of us gone,

maybe...

What do you mean

both of us?

Us! I wanna go with you.

We could be together.

You'd really

come along with me?

In two seconds I would.

Please?

Well, if it isn't

my old pal, Tom Cody.

How's it going?

Great till you got here.

I've just been talking

things over with Clyde.

You remember he and l

used to be real close.

Hey, Tom, tequila, right?

Here's what I owe you.

You did real good back there.

I couldn't have got her out

without you.

Maybe I rode you

a little harder

than I should have.

Don't get sentimental on me.

I wouldn't know how

to handle it.

TOM:
Hey,

I got a problem with Ellen

I gotta talk to you about.

MCCOY:
Yeah, I understand

about these kind of things.

You know, Cody,

I was actually in love once

myself. It didn't work out.

You're the kind

that makes bad picks, huh?

He was the worst.

He lied to me all the time,

cheated on me.

Well, if I ever

run into him,

I'll give him your best.

Of course, you know,

that's before I was a soldier.

You're real crazy

about Ellen, aren't you?

Yeah, I don't know.

I guess I am.

Hey, there's nothing wrong

with it. Nothing to be

embarrassed about.

I ain't embarrassed.

I just know it ain't

gonna work out.

Ellen and I are going

in different directions.

It's nobody's fault.

Maybe you're right,

'cause you don't look like

no back-up singer to me.

Look, I'm gonna need

your help tonight. I gotta do

something I don't wanna do.

Come on.

Tom.

This is not The Bayside.

This is something

back in The Richmond

I gotta take care of.

What are you...

You get as far

from here as you can.

You run until

you hit The Bayside

and you can hang out there.

Sure, tough guy.

When's this train take off?

I gotta get back

to The Richmond.

We don't.

Look, lady,

I gotta get moving.

It's important.

Well, you ain't gonna

get there on this train.

Hey!

Maybe you better

think about it.

The Bombers have gone crazy.

They're doing

everything they can

to seal off The Richmond.

Let's go.

What the hell

are you doing here, Clyde?

I told everybody

to get off the streets

until this thing is over with.

Yeah, but I wanna see

Raven run from up close.

Just stay out of the way.

Well?

Real simple. There's no

showdown. Tom Cody ain't here

and neither is the girl.

I don't get it.

Get off your bike, Raven.

I ain't too crazy

about jails, Chief.

I got a better idea for you.

(HORN BLOWING)

Holy sh*t!

They're here! They're here!

I told your friend Cody

I could get a lot of guns.

Hey, get out of my way!

What the hell!

What is this?

You can't get away with this.

You think you can ride

into any town and kidnap

anybody you want?

Now, get the hell out of town

and leave these people alone.

Sorry I'm late.

I got something

special in mind.

I brought them along

just for you.

Well, my plan went to sh*t.

Let's see how you do.

Kick his ass.

(CLANKING)

Nice, huh?

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

Get him!

Drop him!

(YELLING)

(SCREAMING)

Tom!

(GUNS COCKING)

Let's get out of here!

No more timing

Each tear that falls

from my eyes

I'm not hiding

The remedy to cure

this old heart of mine

I can dream about you

If I can't hold you tonight

I can dream about you

You know something, Waldo,

we're gonna be rich.

Yeah. Long live rock and roll.

I can dream about you

If I can't hold you tonight

I can dream about you

You know how

to hold me just right

Moving sidewalks,

I don't see under my feet

Great, huh? My new discovery.

I'm gonna take them right up

the ladder.

Yeah, they ought to make you

a lot of money, Fish.

Look, don't worry, Cody,

I'm not gonna stand

in your way with Ellen.

I know how it is

between you two.

There's one thing

we both know, Fish.

She needs you a lot more

than she needs me.

Yeah, she needs me,

but she loves you.

She'll get over it.

She's used to me

being unreliable.

Is that what I'm

supposed to tell her?

You're okay with words.

You'll make her feel better

than I could.

Take it easy, Cody.

Thanks.

I'll take it

wherever I can get it.

Climbing up

from the pain in my heart

'Cause it's you that I need.

I can dream

I can dream

Everybody!

Yes, I can dream

I don't understand it

I can't keep my mind

off loving you

ove you forever

Oo, now baby

I'm caught up

in the magic I see in you

There's one thing to do

I can dream about you

Guess you're just

gonna cut out, huh?

Yeah. You know me.

Yeah, I know you.

You're the guy

with the right hook.

Is that it? Is that

all you've left to say?

Look, I know

you're gonna be going places

with your singing and stuff,

but then I'm not the kind

of guy to be carrying

your guitars around for you.

But if you ever need me

for something, I'll be there.

I can dream about you

I'm gonna

press my lips against you

and hold you tight to me

I can dream about you

You know you got me spellbound

what else can it be

I can dream

Dreamin' about you

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

I've got a dream

'bout an angel on the beach

And the perfect waves

are starting to come

His hair is flying out

in ribbons of gold

And his touch

has got the power to stun

I've got a dream

'bout an angel in the forest

Enchanted by

the edge of a lake

His body's flowing

in the jewels alive

And the earth below him

starting to shake

But I don't see

any angels in the city

I don't hear

any holy choirs sing

And if I can't get an angel

I can still get a boy

And a boy'd

be the next best thing

The next best thing

to an angel

A boy'd be the next best thing

I've got a dream

'bout a boy in a castle

And he's dancing

like a cat on the stairs

He's got the fire

of a prince in his eyes

And the thunder

of a drum in his ears

I've got a dream

'bout a boy on a star

Lookin' down

upon the rim of the world

He's there all alone

and dreamin' of someone

like me

I'm not an angel

but at least I'm a girl

I've got a dream

when the darkness is over

We'll be lyin'

in the rays of the sun

But it's only a dream

and tonight is for real

You'll never know

what it means

But you'll know how it feels

It's gonna be over, over

Before you know it's begun
