Time was apart the
wind to fly away
and I caught on him butter
why to stay oh why to stay
but he be gone for
all that I could say
for all that I could say
that he be gone for all that I
could say for all that I could say ...time.
I believe in,
believe in, believe in...
love...
And with your eyelids closed
continue to look upward...
Now take a deep
breath and hold it...
Hold, hold, ready,
three, exhale...
let your eyes relax and
let your body float.
Imagine yourself floating, floating
down, right through the chair.
As you concentrate
on the floating...
i'm going to concentrate
on your left arm and hand.
Your left hand will lift upward,
your left elbow bend...
your left forearm float
into an upright position.
Sometimes you may get a feeling of a
magnetic pole on the back of your hand.
Now your hand in this upright
position becomes for you a signal...
to enter a
state of meditation.
Are you for your
body or are you not?
Are you for living
or are you not?
Now of course if you're not
for living keep on smoking...
arrange for a cremation
and end it all in smoke.
But if the idea of living
is still exciting...
concentrate on this
feeling of floating
and at the same time listen
to these three critical points.
For you body
smoking is a poison.
You need your
body to live.
And you owe your body
this repsect and protection.
Then reflect on what this means
to you in a private sense,
and bring yourself out of this
state of concentration this way:
Roll up your eyes and do it now and
at one just let your eyes open slowly.
And when they're back in focus, slowly
make a fist with the hand that's up
And as you open
your fist slowly...
your usual sensation and control
returns you let it float down.
Now suppose one or two
hours have passed...
and you want to do the exercise
but you don't have privacy.
Here's the way you camoflage the
method, you make two changes:
First you close your eyelids
then roll your eyes up...
so that the eyeroll is private.
Second, instead of your hand coming
up like this, let it come up like this.
With a smile on you face,
and a heart to embrace,
everybody needs happiness,
everybody needs love.
With a hope and a sigh,
and a tear in your eye,
everybody needs happiness,
everybody needs love.
Give love with
all your heart...
-and it all comes...
-Thank you, next.
I would like you all to know
that i'm also an acrobat.
I h... I hear the cotton
woods whispering...
Thank you, next.
I wanna see the fields
of gold and green,,
I wanna see the things
i've never seen...
What's your name?
-Arlene Baker. -Jeannie Tyne
Arlene Baker.
Jeannie Tyne.
Jeannie Tyne.
-How old are you?
Would you go
over there please.
Hello.
This is Lynn Tyne,
Jeannie Tyne's mother.
you heard from the girls?
supposed to go to the city today.
No you're wrong Mrs Tyne.
Corinna hasn't been
to the city today.
I don't understand.
speak to Corinna please?
Well it's just that I...
I thought that maybe she didn't
tell you that she went to the city or...
maybe Jeannie said
something to her and...
No I don't think so,
no i'm sure, no no, she didn't.
Thank you.
- You talk to Jeannie Tyne today?
- No.
Erica Enright,
Bonnie Marcus,
Jessica Harper.
You should see the
girls in the bathroom.
They're all throwing up.
They had coke,
they're so nervous.
They're all throwing
up in the bathroom.
Are you here to
audition? So am I.
Are you professional?
- No, are you?
- I can't even sing very well.
Salty... Salty rain...
Oh God damn...
Oh God damn...
I think i'm i'm crying.
Oh God no i'm crying again.
And i'm losing ground,
I must pay the cost,
as the wheel goes
round happiness is lost.
I can't raise my hand
coz it hurts so bad,
and when I tread
on the times i've had.
waiting, here I stand just waiting
waiting, here I stand just waiting
But if you should go,
I just want you to know...
I'm sorry.
Can I come back?
Next please.
The party's ending,
the night is landing
I start to shine
on you and me.
Here in the starlight
please don't say goodnight
-until we make our
-memory- a melancholy baby.
-Let's get a little
-sentimental,
-let's start holding
-hands
-let's start making
-plans.
-Think what we're missing,
-when we're not kissing,
-Let's get a little
-sentimental,
-turn the lights down
-low,
-troubles
-come and go.
But while we're together,
-we can live
-forever...
-There's time for sorrow,
-maybe tomorrow
-but now it's time to hold me
-tight.
And while i'm dreaming,
-forgive me scheming
-To win your love,
haven't I the -right...
to fall in love tonight?
So...
-Let's get a little -sentimental,
But while we're together...
Sorry. What's the words?
Let's get a
little sentimental...
Lynn...
Why do you think
she ran away?
I'm not saying she ran away.
I'm just speaking generally.
Did you check her room?
Whose on the line please?
Is it a wrong number?
I can hear somebody breathing.
Still breathing.
Can you? speak freely?
Just answer "yes" or "no".
They hung up.
I was born into a world
full of angels and kings
And there was
someplace to grow
and someone to be.
And even in the
darkest of storms
you knew that the
sun was still there
and even the
horses had wings.
It was that special
kind of world
with its heart
set on laughter,
and a star was
meant to be touched
and a dream
to be after.
And at the end
of each day
was the wonder
of each night
and even the
horses had wings.
That was the world,
that I knew as a child.
And it can't be me that's changed,
it's got to be the world.
And somehow we can mend it,
we can make it like it was,
we can make it
like it was before,
when even the
horses had wings.
- Does she smoke?
- No.
- Does she smoke a lot?
- No, not at all!
I'm dying in a world,
that will die
before death,
because angels
don't exist
and kings never laugh.
And i'm afraid i've
forgotten I believe,
that there really
was a world,
where even the
horses had wings.
Didn't you ever fit
her for a diaphragm?
No she's just a baby.
I thought she had one
and it was missing...
You know what I mean?
Alone now
and there was
something I meant to do,
but it's been so long ago I really
can't remember what it was.
Horses?
You can't sing well?
Neither can I.
I sing so flat.
I'm awful.
But when I take
this mighty Quinn,
I sing so good.
I sing so beautiful.
What's Mighty Quinn?
Acid. When I take it...
It's good stuff.
Do you sing well? No.
Do you want one?
Long term physical effects,
are not yet known,
so i'm gonna have another
drag and just get stoned.
- No you can't!
- It's all over.
It's over, I hear it.
It's not over.
I know but I sing so...
... the more I
watch the movie.
