The Runaways Page #8

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?

01:
05:06,236 -- 01:05:09,154

-Hey, you got the cover.

-What?

710

01:
05:09,322 -- 01:05:10,990

-Bigger than Godzilla, huh?

-What?

711

01:
05:11,157 -- 01:05:13,826

-Let me see that. Let me see that.

-We got the cover issue.

712

01:
05:13,994 -- 01:05:16,579

What? Amazing.

713

01:
05:16,746 -- 01:05:17,788

-Yeah, man.

-Cheers.

714

01:
05:17,956 -- 01:05:19,665

-Where'd you get this?

-Took forever.

715

01:
05:19,833 -- 01:05:21,333

-Yeah.

-Cheers.

716

01:
05:21,501 -- 01:05:23,252

We're gonna need another.

717

01:
05:53,617 -- 01:05:55,701

-Yeah?

-Hello?

718

01:
05:55,869 -- 01:05:57,494

Cherie, can you hear me?

719

01:
05:57,662 -- 01:06:00,289

-What?

-lt's me, Marie.

720

01:
06:00,540 -- 01:06:02,750

-Dad's sick.

-Who?

721

01:
06:02,917 -- 01:06:06,337

Dad. He's sick.

You gotta come home, okay?

722

01:
06:06,504 -- 01:06:09,298

-What?

-Turn down the music. lt's me, Marie.

723

01:
06:09,466 -- 01:06:12,551

Did you hear what l said?

You have to come home.

724

01:
06:13,720 -- 01:06:15,804

I don't have a home.

725

01:
06:17,140 -- 01:06:19,892

-Do you have a home?

-What?

726

01:
06:20,226 -- 01:06:22,227

What are you talking about?

727

01:
06:24,731 -- 01:06:26,690

Cherie, can you hear me?

728

01:
06:28,276 -- 01:06:29,777

Cherie?

729

01:
09:43,388 -- 01:09:45,722

Wow, it's so crazy.

730

01:
09:45,890 -- 01:09:47,766

-Let's eat. You guys hungry?

-Oh, my God.

731

01:
09:47,934 -- 01:09:50,936

-Sandy, look at that.

-What? Sh*t.

732

01:
09:51,104 -- 01:09:53,063

Crazy, man.

733

01:
09:54,107 -- 01:09:55,899

-What is this?

-What's your problem?

734

01:
09:56,067 -- 01:09:58,569

-What's yourfucking problem?

-That is cool.

735

01:
09:58,736 -- 01:10:01,446

It's not cool.

Did you know about this?

736

01:
10:12,792 -- 01:10:16,628

Kim sent them. Just showed up at my

house. What was l supposed to say?

737

01:
10:16,796 -- 01:10:18,797

Well, you could say, "No."

738

01:
10:20,466 -- 01:10:23,510

You could say,

"I'm the singer in a band."

739

01:
10:23,678 -- 01:10:26,138

Not Linda f***ing Lovelace.

740

01:
10:30,143 -- 01:10:31,894

Look at this.

741

01:
10:33,521 -- 01:10:35,731

When did you do this?

742

01:
10:35,899 -- 01:10:39,318

It's exactly what Kim wants.

He's gonna be really happy.

743

01:
10:39,485 -- 01:10:41,987

But this is all they're ever

gonna say about us.

744

01:
10:43,823 -- 01:10:46,158

You think anybody's

gonna take us seriously?

745

01:
10:46,326 -- 01:10:49,161

Son of a b*tch. lt'sjust publicity.

It helps everybody.

746

01:
10:49,329 -- 01:10:52,205

What were you thinking?

Publicize the music...

747

01:
10:52,373 -- 01:10:54,750

...not your crotch.

748

01:
11:29,869 -- 01:11:31,203

Don't worry about them.

749

01:
11:32,455 -- 01:11:33,914

You're the voice.

750

01:
11:34,082 -- 01:11:36,541

It's your face on the T-shirts.

751

01:
11:37,043 -- 01:11:39,086

You're the one they want.

752

01:
12:09,075 -- 01:12:10,867

How you feeling?

753

01:
12:12,912 -- 01:12:14,871

Like a peach.

754

01:
12:20,920 -- 01:12:23,839

Like a really bruised peach.

755

01:
12:26,676 -- 01:12:30,387

There's an all-girl rock band

in Korea now.

756

01:
12:30,847 -- 01:12:32,264

Yeah?

757

01:
12:35,935 -- 01:12:38,228

Yeah. The singer thinks she's you.

758

01:
12:38,438 -- 01:12:40,147

They're sh*t.

759

01:
12:41,774 -- 01:12:43,734

It's pretty cool, though.

760

01:
12:43,901 -- 01:12:45,277

Yeah.

761

01:
14:02,063 -- 01:14:05,357

Well, if it isn't Mary, mother of God.

762

01:
14:07,110 -- 01:14:09,111

What, no disciples?

763

01:
14:09,320 -- 01:14:11,113

No cameras?

764

01:
14:11,280 -- 01:14:12,864

Just me.

765

01:
14:16,035 -- 01:14:17,828

Nice bag.

766

01:
14:19,539 -- 01:14:22,374

So original. All the girls get one?

767

01:
14:22,917 -- 01:14:24,543

No.

768

01:
14:25,628 -- 01:14:27,504

Actually...

769

01:
14:28,881 -- 01:14:31,675

...there's one for me

and one for you.

770

01:
14:36,931 -- 01:14:38,431

Thanks.

771

01:
14:41,394 -- 01:14:47,065

So do l actually need to say

all the things l wanna say...

772

01:
14:47,400 -- 01:14:49,568

...or do we still have

the sister thing?

773

01:
15:03,082 -- 01:15:04,749

How's Dad?

774

01:
15:05,126 -- 01:15:08,545

Well, he hasn't asked about you today,

so that's a good thing.

775

01:
15:09,797 -- 01:15:11,381

He was worried?

776

01:
15:11,549 -- 01:15:12,799

What do you think?

777

01:
15:13,259 -- 01:15:16,303

He's been keeping a folder

of all your press clips.

778

01:
15:19,640 -- 01:15:21,266

Take it to him.

779

01:
15:22,685 -- 01:15:25,729

-l'm scared.

-He's been waiting for you.

780

01:
15:50,796 -- 01:15:52,631

Hi, kitten.

781

01:
15:53,299 -- 01:15:55,008

Hi, Dad.

782

01:
16:18,032 -- 01:16:19,908

We have money.

783

01:
16:22,119 -- 01:16:23,912

You're gonna be fine.

784

01:
17:23,139 -- 01:17:25,223

We're ready for you, Cherie.

785

01:
17:26,892 -- 01:17:32,147

Cherie?

786

01:
17:34,525 -- 01:17:35,984

I've had it with her sh*t, man.

787

01:
17:36,193 -- 01:17:38,695

What--? What's wrong?

788

01:
17:38,863 -- 01:17:40,739

It must be

a really interesting article.

789

01:
17:41,532 -- 01:17:42,615

What are you reading?

790

01:
17:45,745 -- 01:17:47,579

"Fowley says

handling Cherie's ego...

791

01:
17:47,747 -- 01:17:50,248

...is like having a dog

urinate in yourface.

792

01:
17:50,416 -- 01:17:53,501

The best thing that could happen

would be if Cherie hung herself...

793

01:
17:53,669 -- 01:17:58,548

...from a shower rod and put herself

in the tradition of Marilyn Monroe."

794

01:
17:59,300 -- 01:18:00,759

Sh*t, man.

795

01:
18:08,684 -- 01:18:10,685

That's great. That's f***ing right.

796

01:
18:11,187 -- 01:18:13,897

-Lita.

-What? lt's true.

797

01:
18:14,523 -- 01:18:16,441

She's always the center

of every photo.

798

01:
18:17,109 -- 01:18:19,944

Always the biggest interview

in all the articles.

799

01:
18:20,363 -- 01:18:23,114

It's like we're the backup

for the Cherie Currie Band.

800

01:
18:23,282 -- 01:18:25,825

I didn't ask for that sh*t.

801

01:
18:27,912 -- 01:18:29,204

Who cares?

802

01:
18:29,663 -- 01:18:32,749

It'sjust a magazine article.

It doesn't mean sh*t.

803

01:
18:33,042 -- 01:18:34,501

Let's finish the song. Come on.

804

01:
18:40,341 -- 01:18:41,883

What's the matter?

805

01:
18:42,051 -- 01:18:43,259

No flash bulbs?

806

01:
18:43,427 -- 01:18:45,637

No one here to fall all over you

while you sing?

807

01:
18:45,805 -- 01:18:49,808

Stop. Cherie, bring the bottle.

Come on.

808

01:
18:50,267 -- 01:18:52,268

-Cherie?

-Hey, Cherie, listen.

809

01:
18:52,436 -- 01:18:55,855

I gotta take a piss. Would that be okay

with you? lf not, I could hold it.

810

01:
18:56,023 -- 01:18:58,149

You can piss yourfucking pants

for all I care.

811

01:
18:58,317 -- 01:19:00,527

-l'm gonna piss down your throat!

-Calm down!

812

01:
19:00,694 -- 01:19:01,903

-Calm down.
