What's Love Got to Do with It Page #9

Come on. Come on!

Turner.

- Thank you.

- Can I call you a doctor?

Oh, man, don't nobody need

no damn doctor. Where the elevator at?

- Just around the corner.

- Come on.

Hey, Ann. Want you wake me up

a hour before the sound check, hear?

Anna Mae Bullock, you hear me?

You hear what I said?

You hear what I said, woman?

Sure, Ike.

Is there anything else

you want me to do for you, baby?

Go on in there and

clean yourself up.

Ike?

Miss Turner?

I need to speak

with your manager.

Yes, ma'am.

Right away. George.

I'm... I'm Tina Turner.

My husband and I

just had a fight.

I'm supposed to open

at the Academy tonight.

I have 36 cents

and a Mobil card...

but if you will

give me a room...

I swear I will pay you back.

No, no, no. That won't be necessary.

Now, miss Turner...

Take these.

I'd be honored, really.

W-we'll take care of you.

Thank you.

Nick. Let's give

Miss Turner a room.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah, people keep askin' me 'bout where

my... where I'm hidin' my investments.

Only investments I got,

she done destroyed.

The Ike and Tina Turner

Revue, that was my investment.

Ike Junior! Ike Junior!

We couldn't play all the

dates I done booked.

People are mad at me

all over the country.

$750,000 she done cost me.

What I got left? I got, I got, I got...

I got some clothes.

I got some jewelry.

the rest I got tied up in investments.

I ain't got nothin' else.

Please instruct your client to remove

his sunglasses. This is a courtroom.

Well, ho... ha. Look, you ain't

got to instruct me to do nothin'.

Your honor, in order

to expedite this matter...

my client would like to

make an oral motion...

amending her petition for divorce,

revoking any financial claims.

I want you to be

very sure about this.

It means you're going to walk out

of here with absolutely nothing.

Except my name.

I'll give up all that other stuff,

but only if I get to keep my name.

I worked too hard for it,

your honor.

The name is mine. The name

got my daddy's blood on it.

Now she wanna go, she, she, she

can go wherever she wanna go,

but the name belong to me.

- Sir... Mr. Turner.

- No, no, no. Look here, now.

Hey, hey, hey, get your

hand off me, man. Now look.

Mr. Turner...

If she wanna go, she can go.

That's fine. She can go.

Sir.

But the name stays home.

The name stays home.

As Mrs. Turner has decided

to drop all claims...

I hereby grant her divorce on the

grounds of irreconcilable differences.

Mr. Turner will retain

all publishing rights...

royalties, all real property...

clothing, jewelry

and all other assets.

Mrs. Turner will retain

the use of her stage name.

We did it, mama.

We did it!

Anna Mae Bullock! See, you ain't

know that was her name. Hey!

That's all right. I'm gonna talk to her.

Yeah, you keep the name, Anna Mae.

You keep the name. But remember,

who gave it to you? I did! That's right!

- I gave it to her! What you gonna do?

- Come on, mom. Let's go.

You got four boys,

four grown boys.

Yeah, carry your country

ass back to Nutbush.

No, it's all right, man.

It's all right.

All right, sonny, okay. Come on, now. Let's

go. Ike Junior, come on. We goin' home now.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to San Francisco...

and welcome to

the Fairmont Hotel.

...this marvellous truffle salad

and lovely chicken...

prepared especially for

your enjoyment this evening.

Oh, my God. Roger Davies came.

I would like, this evening,

to say hello to those of you...

who are participating in this

lovely venture here tonight.

I really want this manager

to sign me. I'm so nervous.

And we are very, very happy tonight

to have an old-time favorite.

- "Old-time"?

- Miss Tina, of Ike and Tina Turner Revue.

Go get 'em, grandma.

Whoo! You're burnin'.

We love you! Oh, baby! Whoo!

I don't want to see a show

if I have to pay extra.

It's included, sir.

Have a seat.

- Does it come with a drink?

- No, ma'am.

Nah, that's how they get ya.

Burn, baby, burn

- Yes

- Burn, baby, burn

- Burnin'

- To my surprise

One hundred stories high

People gettin' loose now

Gettin' down on the roof

I tell you

- We love you, honey!

Folks screamin'

Out of control

It was so entertainin'

When the boogie

starts to explode

I heard somebody say

Burn, baby, burn

- Disco inferno

- Burn, baby, burn

- Burn that mother down now

- Burn, baby, burn

- Disco inferno

- Burn, baby, burn

Oh, you see, Ike...

Ike was straight R & B.

You know?

My baby done left me...

took all my money,

cut up my clothes.

Oh, I'm standin' here naked.

I'm so sad.

But I ain't about the blues

anymore, you know?

- Well, what are you about?

- Rock and roll.

- Yeah?

- Yeah!

- Rock and roll.

- That's right.

I'm talkin' 'bout the energy

of it. Fun stuff, you know?

You hear it in the music

of, like, Bowie and Jagger.

You know? That's the stuff

I wanna do. You know?

Not that old sad-sack stuff

I used to do with Ike, and...

not this borin' stuff

I have to do for these hotels.

You know, rock and roll

is for young people. It's...

it's a very different audience

to what you'd be used to with Ike.

I just believe that

anything is possible.

You know? Anything. Now, it took me

a long time to get Ike out of my system.

And now that I've done that,

I'm ready.

I'm ready,

and I know what I want.

Tina, cheers.

To you.

- To us.

- To us.

- Oh, I'll see you tomorrow, noon. Yes!

- Noon? Where you goin'?

- No, you need to come in early.

- Hey, Tina...

between you and Roger, how do

you expect us to get any rest?

- Yeah, we'll both stay up till then.

- Oh, good night, fellas.

Hello, Anna Mae.

Hey, look, I... I just wanna talk to you,

now. Give me a few minutes of your time.

No. I don't think so, Ike.

Come on, Ann. Now hold on.

Look, I brung you somethin'.

I brung a... I brung

a gift for you.

Hold on. Look here.

You gonna like this.

Oh, yeah, you gonna like this.

Look here.

Come on. I brung 'em for you.

Now go on and take 'em.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome. Now I'm, I'm...

look, I just... I just need

to talk to you couple,

two, three minutes, all right?

All right?

I'm not gonna make it. I need

to talk to somebody. Please.

All right.

Two minutes.

All right.

Two minutes.

There you go. That's...

Okay. Okay, two minutes.

Two minutes.

Goddamn, girl!

You look good!

Thanks.

- What's that you got on? You smell good.

- Look, Ike...

- All right, all right, all right.

- What is this about?

Well, the record company

tryin' to put me in jail.

Talkin' 'bout I owe them all kind of

money, and, well, I got to do somethin'.

Well, you do, Ike.

I mean, you took a lot of advance money,

and you didn't make good on it.

Yeah, well, look here.

I know all that, but...

see, if I could just get me

another hit record, I'd be all right.

They'd get off my back, give me some slack.

You know what I'm talkin' about? Look...

I've been writing some songs.

Yeah, I have, and

I wrote this one song.
