The Runaways Page #5

Synopsis: In 1975, San Fernando Valley teen Joan Larkin reinvents herself as Joan Jett, a guitarist who wants to form an all-girl punk band. She pitches the idea to a sleazy manager, Kim Fowley, who pairs her with a drummer and then searches for a face: he finds Cherie Currie, at age 15, the perfect jailbait image for his purpose; by luck, she can sing. Two others round out the band, The Runaways. Fowley books a tour, signs them to Mercury Records, and packs them off to crowds in Japan. Seeds of conflict sprout early: Fowley puts Cherie front and center in the publicity, she's soon strung out on drugs and vodka, and jealousies arise. Without adult supervision, where can Joan and Cherie end up?

It's incredible.

When do you need the press kits by?

412

00:
34:58,722 -- 00:35:00,556

Oh, no problem.

415

00:
35:08,940 -- 00:35:10,983

Oh, sh*t. The cops? Let's split.

418

00:
35:17,741 -- 00:35:19,867

-Sh*t, the cops. Let's go!

Hey. F***ing hecklers drill

421

00:
35:25,999 -- 00:35:28,751

This girl threw a bottle at my face,

smashed it back at her.

422

00:
35:28,919 -- 00:35:32,463

You did the death dance in there. You

showed those punks how to cockfight.

423

00:
35:32,631 -- 00:35:34,381

Did you get the money

for the concert?

424

00:
35:34,549 -- 00:35:36,008

-No, you played for free.

-What?

425

00:

426

00:
35:38,303 -- 00:35:40,888

-Wanna play living rooms or stadiums?

-Stadiums.

427

00:
35:41,056 -- 00:35:44,016

I racked up their phone bill

booking your tour overseas.

428

00:
35:44,184 -- 00:35:45,559

-Overseas, really?

-Yeah. Easy.

429

00:
35:45,727 -- 00:35:49,396

You gotta pay your dues first here on

the road in a van, then come thejets.

430

00:
35:49,564 -- 00:35:50,940

-When?

-l don't go on the road.

431

00:
35:51,107 -- 00:35:53,734

I'll talk to your keepers. Scatter!

This.

433

00:
36:02,077 -- 00:36:04,578

-Can l take this?

-No.

434

00:
36:06,081 -- 00:36:07,081

It's my favorite.

435

00:
36:07,249 -- 00:36:08,958

When was the last time

you wore this?

436

00:
36:09,125 -- 00:36:11,418

Exactly.

I save it for special occasions.

437

00:
36:13,046 -- 00:36:15,464

It's not like you're playing

the Shrine Auditorium.

438

00:
36:19,135 -- 00:36:20,886

Forget it.

439

00:
36:47,122 -- 00:36:48,998
