-Him? What about me?

Somebody knows how to spell!

Why don't they give me a

goddamn break?!

Go and get one of those Southern

belles for the kid.

-Vinnie, talk to him.

-Make sure they're good looking.

Talk.

-Vincent what was that all about?

-What?

You and Tony.

Money.

A little relaxation

present for Chez, that's all.

My way of saying I'm sorry.

All right?

-What's happening to you?

You're hurting everybody, Vincent.

Everybody'

What you did just now to

Gino in the car was horrible.

Brenda, he was shootin'

off his mouth in front of the kid!

I don't want him listening

to all that negative s..t.

I was just tryin t to protect him.

That's all.

That's not protecting people,

that's pushing them around.

Gotta be tough.

He's not gonna get

there unless I push.

You mean you're not gonna

get there unless you push.

This has nothing to do with Caesare.

This has to do with you using

Caesare to get where you want.

You even used me to get rid of

Ellen Fields...

...when she got in your way.

-Hey, you just wait a minute!

Wait a minute!

l had a lot of magazines...

...lookin' for the inside story

to this tour, but l said no!

l gave you the exclusive,

sweetheart, so you tell me,...

...who's using who huh?

You know, there's no use

trying to reason with you,...

...because you can't hear me!

Where are you, Vincent?

I'm looking for the human being,

and I can't find him anywhere.

You know, from now on,

don't do me any special favors.

I'll just cover Chez

like the rest of the press.

Come on!

You're a half hour late!

-Come on!

-This is crazy!

Come on!

Come on!

Get out here or go home!

Where's that pretty boy?

When are you

gonna start this show?

-Is he coming out?

-Just give him five minutes.

Five minutes!

Vinnie, Vinnie,

what are we gonna do?

We can't keep them

waitin' all night.

Really?

What do you want me to do?

You want me to send him

out in front of a bunch of...

...hicks out there?

-No, no. But think of something...

...fast, okay?

Go out there! Get ready!

Don't worry about it, will ya?

You want a show?

We'll give ya a show!

I'll give ya a show.

I didn't pay six bucks to sit

on my a..s. Let's go!

Let's go!

Come on!

Come on!

-Give me my money back.

-Ladies and gentlemen.

We are very honored

to be here in Memphis.

Tonight, Caesare would like to

dedicate this concert to his idol.

The one and only Elvis Presley.

All right. Elvis.

It's one of those nights

Another one of those nights

You can't keep from cryin'

And you're dyin'

for someone to hold you

But you gotta

You gotta hold on

'Hold on till the dawn

And believe it'll be all right

However dark the night

When love comes along

You can't believe

how good you're feelin'

Your heart is poundin'

your head is reelin'

You couldn't dream a better day

But when love lets you down

It hurts enough to last forever

You both swore that you would never

Never let it slip away

But don 't you let me see you cryin'

Don't you let me see you cry

There will be a bright tomorrow

However dark the night

There will come the morning light

However dark the night

Let there be the morning light

However dark the night

When love's burnin' bright

You can 't remember pain and sorrow

You have no past

there's no tomorrow

Not when love is hot today

But when love starts to cool

The icy pain is so surprising

But you can't stop the sun

from rising

And it will melt the ice away

So don't you let me see you

cryin' now

Don't you let me see you cry

There will be a bright tomorrow

However dark the night

There will come the morning light

However dark the night

Let there be the morning light

However dark the night

I did it! I did it! I did it!

Gino, I did it!

They thought I was a nothin'.

And I showed 'em!

They loved me!

-Caesare!

What are you gonna do now?

Are you finally gonna tour?

Oh, yeah! Yeah!

We're gonna go on the road!

I'd like to, I'd like to repay

all my fans for supportin' me.

-That mean you're gonna end your...

-No, Chez! No!

...seclusion and be more visible?

-No! No more hidin'!

Look, Tony, get him inside!

Tony, get him inside!

No more hidin I'm gonna do T.V.

T.V., radio, public appearances!

Hey, come on! We'll give you

an interview tomorrow!

Give me a break. The kid's had

a rough night! Please!

Hey, come on!

We're not gonna tour!

Not after tonight!

Let go of me!

This is my night tonight!

You're not taking it away from me!

-I'm not taking it away from you!

You were great tonight!

Just don't forget whose material...

...you were doin' out there,

and don't forget who built the set!

It was my idea to have you come

from behind the theatre!

Don't you... Come on, Gig!

Tell him, will ya?

I was the one out on that

stage, right?

I was the one out on that stage!

I had to prove I could do it,

and I did it!

I did it! From now on,

you listen to me!

You do what I say, huh?

Wait a minute!

Who do you think you are, huh?

You are nothing!

You are nothing without me!

When you were up on that

stage tonight, it wasn't you...

...it was me, kid!

Every note you sing is me!

Every move you make is me!

Everything you do is me, goddamn it!

Even that face is nothing!

It's nothing!

Hit me!

Come on, hit me!

Come on, hit me!

Hit me! Come on, hit me!

-Get out of here! Get out!

-Hit me! Come on, you're nothing!

-Stop it, Vinnie!

-You're nothing!

-Chez! Chez! Enough!

-You're nothing!

You're nothing!

-Vinnie!

Vinnie, please!

Good morning.

How's the eye?

How's Chez?

Well, he, flew back to New York

this morning with Brenda.

What's the damage, Gee-Gee?

Give it to me straight.

Well, he said he's,

he's through with you.

He doesn't need a manager anymore.

He, he called Phil Delano in

New York, and they're gonna...

...have the relationship severed.

They're taking you to court.

Phil works fast, huh?

How about you?

What?

What are you gonna do?

Well, they, they asked me to,

to come along, but I told them no.

We're partners, Vin.

You better go, 'cause he needs ya.

Vinnie, I can't leave you.

Look, Chez needs you.

And without you,

the whole thing will fall apart.

I want to be alone for a while,

Gino, you know?

Go, will ya?

It'll be better for everybody.

Just go.

I got a cab waitin' downstairs.

I gotta go. I gotta get out of here.

Vincent.

Vincent.

You've got to stop this.

You've got to pick up and

have your life again.

I was smothering' that kid,

you know, Mom?

I really hurt him.

-You did him some good.

You brought out his talent.

I did it for myself, not for him.

So maybe you learned something.

But don't cut out the people

who love you, Vincent.

It don't do you no good.

I know that.

Hello.

Vinnie?

It's been a long time.

I called to...

...let you know that Friday night

I'm breaking in a new singer...

...at the club.

I thought maybe you could make it.

Vinnie, I would love to, but...

Yeah, maybe some other time, huh?

No problem.

Take care of yourself, huh?
