who this fella here is,

10
00:01:06,150 --> 00:01:12,198
I am the legendary,
colonel Tom Parker.

11
00:01:24,293 --> 00:01:26,337
[Newscaster] Colonel Tom Parker,
legendary manager

12
00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:29,757
of Elvis Presley, has been
rushed to valley hospital.

13
00:01:30,508 --> 00:01:35,012
[Parker] I am the man who
gave the world Elvis Presley.

[Siren wailing]

15
00:01:37,348 --> 00:01:42,144
Without me,
there would be no Elvis Presley.

And yet, there are some

17
00:01:44,981 --> 00:01:48,067
who'd make me out
to be the villain

18
00:01:48,442 --> 00:01:50,111
of this here story.

19
00:01:57,994 --> 00:02:01,205
["Suspicious minds" by
Elvis Presley playing faintly]

20
00:02:05,209 --> 00:02:09,130
[Newscaster] Colonel Tom Parker
was a liar, a cheat, a con man.

21
00:02:09,922 --> 00:02:13,301
A shocking new book
accuses colonel Tom Parker

22
00:02:13,384 --> 00:02:15,886
of massive fraud
and mis-management.

23
00:02:18,597 --> 00:02:22,476
Parker received as much as
fifty percent of Elvis's income.

24
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,353
He worked Elvis like a mule,

25
00:02:24,437 --> 00:02:26,147
to support his own
gambling addiction.

26
00:02:26,230 --> 00:02:28,041
[Newscaster 2] The court finds
that the compensation received

27
00:02:28,065 --> 00:02:30,067
by colonel Parker was excessive,

28
00:02:30,151 --> 00:02:31,902
and shocked the conscience
of the court.

29
00:02:31,986 --> 00:02:33,505
[Newscaster] Many believe
that colonel Tom Parker

30
00:02:33,529 --> 00:02:36,615
was responsible for the death
of Elvis Presley.

31
00:02:38,367 --> 00:02:39,952
[Parker] Now, you listen to me.

32
00:02:40,036 --> 00:02:43,122
The only thing that matters
is that that man

No, no, I didn't kill him.

47
00:04:34,024 --> 00:04:36,735
I made Elvis Presley.

48
00:04:38,904 --> 00:04:42,324
Nothing all those muckrakers
said in their books was true.

49
00:04:42,408 --> 00:04:44,660
Me and Elvis, we was partners.

50
00:04:45,119 --> 00:04:50,666
It was Elvis the showman
and the colonel the snowman.

[Female reporter]
This is the lying dutchman.

52
00:04:53,085 --> 00:04:56,255
I always knew I was
destined for greatness.

53
00:04:56,338 --> 00:04:59,133
As an orphan,
I ran away to the carnival,

54
00:04:59,216 --> 00:05:01,969
where [learned the art
of the "snow job,"

55
00:05:02,052 --> 00:05:05,389
of emptying a rube's wallet
while leaving them with nothing

56
00:05:05,473 --> 00:05:08,017
- but a smile on their face.
- [Applause]

57
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:09,727
But a carnival act
that would get you

58
00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:12,563
the most money, the most snow,

59
00:05:12,646 --> 00:05:16,108
had great costumes
and a unique trick,

60
00:05:16,192 --> 00:05:18,068
that gave the audience feelings

61
00:05:18,152 --> 00:05:21,447
they weren't sure
they should enjoy.

62
00:05:21,530 --> 00:05:22,907
But they do.

63
00:05:23,616 --> 00:05:28,037
And I knew if! Could
find such an act,

64
00:05:28,829 --> 00:05:32,374
I could create the greatest...

68
00:05:38,923 --> 00:05:42,301
After the carnival, I moved
into the music business...

69
00:05:42,384 --> 00:05:45,054
The country music business.

70
00:05:45,137 --> 00:05:49,225

Am I gonna be riding
on an elephant, too?

89
00:06:33,978 --> 00:06:35,896
A man on an elephant
looks important.

He makes all those race records
with the colored singers.

No, they are not putting
a colored boy on the hayride.

That's the thing. He's white.

00:28:16,946 --> 00:28:18,656
Colonel Parker, sir.

512
00:28:21,534 --> 00:28:24,370
- You look lost.
- [Chuckling]

513
00:28:24,453 --> 00:28:26,789
- I guess I am.
- Ah, yes.

514
00:28:26,873 --> 00:28:30,585
The roar of the crowd.
The life on the road.

515
00:28:30,668 --> 00:28:32,837
And then calling home
to your loved ones,

516
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,006
pretending nothing has changed,

517
00:28:35,089 --> 00:28:37,508
when everything has.

518
00:28:38,426 --> 00:28:40,761
Yeah. Lost.

519
00:28:42,555 --> 00:28:45,141
I'm sorry, sir. I... I meant
I don't know the way out.

520
00:28:45,224 --> 00:28:48,811
Yeah, that is precisely
what I am saying.

521
00:28:50,062 --> 00:28:54,483
I... I saw you.
Apart from all the others.

522
00:28:54,859 --> 00:28:56,402
Burdened.

523
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,989
Like you don't know
how to get out of this.

524
00:29:01,157 --> 00:29:02,575
But I do.

525
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,828
[Zina singing] J“ snowman's coming j“

526
00:29:05,912 --> 00:29:07,204
allow me to show you.

527
00:29:07,288 --> 00:29:10,082
J“ yes, he's coming j“

528
00:29:10,166 --> 00:29:14,503
j“ take his magic hand j“

529
00:29:14,879 --> 00:29:16,631
[Parker]
Creatures of the carnival.

530
00:29:16,714 --> 00:29:18,925
- And I am one myself.
- [Crowd exclaming]

531
00:29:19,008 --> 00:29:22,219
It's where I learned the art
of the snow job.

532
00:29:22,303 --> 00:29:23,530
- [Elvis] Snow job?
- [Parker] Yes.

533
00:29:23,554 --> 00:29:25,473
It's like the trick
you do with the wiggling,

534
00:29:25,556 --> 00:29:27,183
getting all the girls hyped up,

535
00:29:27,266 --> 00:29:28,893
empty their wallets
and leave them

536
00:29:28,976 --> 00:29:30,937
with nothing but the smiles
on their faces.

537
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:32,647
I'm no trickster.

538
00:29:32,730 --> 00:29:34,565
Oh, yes you are.

539
00:29:34,649 --> 00:29:36,233
All showmen are snowmen.

540
00:29:36,984 --> 00:29:38,569
It's a wonderful place.

541
00:29:38,861 --> 00:29:40,279
Nobody on the aerio.

542
00:29:41,238 --> 00:29:42,448
[Speaking ciazarn]

543
00:29:44,158 --> 00:29:47,328
Your future, Mr. Presley,
blazing before you.

544
00:29:48,204 --> 00:29:51,457
Recording contracts, television,
even Hollywood.

545
00:29:55,211 --> 00:29:56,712
You're great, colonel.

546
00:29:56,796 --> 00:29:59,173
You are the best person
I could ever hope to work with.

547
00:30:00,007 --> 00:30:01,607
You know, this is something
I ain't never

548
00:30:01,634 --> 00:30:03,177
said to nobody before...

549
00:30:03,594 --> 00:30:05,471
But I believe
I can be great, too.

550
00:30:05,554 --> 00:30:07,223
Oh, no doubt.

551
00:30:07,306 --> 00:30:10,101
But we could be
even greater together.

552
00:30:10,184 --> 00:30:15,523
But to achieve this, I need
to represent you exclusively.

553
00:30:15,606 --> 00:30:17,984
Exclusively?
Sir, I... I don't follow.

554
00:30:19,443 --> 00:30:20,736
What about Hank snow?

555
00:30:20,820 --> 00:30:22,655
Hank. Yes...

556
00:30:22,738 --> 00:30:24,699
He sent me here to fire you.

557
00:30:26,534 --> 00:30:28,369
[Metal creaking]

558
00:30:28,452 --> 00:30:30,162
Hank wants you off the tour.

559
00:30:30,246 --> 00:30:33,708
So I will have to leave Hank.

560
00:30:35,001 --> 00:30:37,003
We will both have to
make sacrifices.

561
00:30:37,086 --> 00:30:40,339
We will need a record label
with national distribution.

562
00:30:42,174 --> 00:30:43,718
Rca?

563
00:30:45,553 --> 00:30:46,804
Rca.

564
00:30:47,513 --> 00:30:50,141
Sam Phillips... discovered me.

565
00:30:50,224 --> 00:30:53,561
I know, but we have a way
to help Sam understand

566
00:30:53,644 --> 00:30:56,731
that it would be foolish of him
to hold you back.

567
00:30:56,814 --> 00:30:58,941
Every man has his price.

568
00:30:59,025 --> 00:31:00,985
[Sam] Rca does have
the distribution.

569
00:31:01,068 --> 00:31:02,170
[Elvis] I just need to know
that you'll

570
00:31:02,194 --> 00:31:03,362
still be with me as friends.

571
00:31:03,446 --> 00:31:05,656
Don't doubt that,
we're not going anywhere.

572
00:31:05,740 --> 00:31:09,326
Marion and I just don't want to
stand in your way, that's all.

573
00:31:09,410 --> 00:31:12,747
The world needs
to hear you sing, Elvis.

574
00:31:12,830 --> 00:31:15,166
[Newscaster] Elvis Presley's
contract sold to rca today

575
00:31:15,249 --> 00:31:17,251
for the highest price
in music history.

576
00:31:17,334 --> 00:31:19,420
Quite the payday
for sun records.

577
00:31:20,004 --> 00:31:22,965
It's just business.
Show business.

578
00:31:23,049 --> 00:31:24,151
To achieve truly great things,

579
00:31:24,175 --> 00:31:26,761
one must make
truly great sacrifices.

580
00:31:26,844 --> 00:31:30,097
You will have to be free
of any entanglements.

581
00:31:30,556 --> 00:31:34,268
You see, my boy,
show business is snow business.

582
00:31:34,351 --> 00:31:38,481
And the fans need to believe
that you are always available.

583
00:31:38,564 --> 00:31:40,083
[Elvis] The colonel says
that with all the publicity

584
00:31:40,107 --> 00:31:41,484
that's gonna be coming,

585
00:31:41,567 --> 00:31:43,360
he might have to
put it out there that...

586
00:31:43,861 --> 00:31:45,112
That...

587
00:31:45,196 --> 00:31:46,906
I don't have a girl.

588
00:31:47,448 --> 00:31:49,658
[Sobbing]

589
00:31:50,743 --> 00:31:53,746
[Parker] Then we will need
your parents' legal commitment.

590
00:31:54,455 --> 00:31:57,833
They may need a bit
of convincing, themselves.

591
00:31:57,917 --> 00:31:59,837
[Gladys] Sam Phillips
is a good man we can trust.

592
00:31:59,919 --> 00:32:02,088
We don't know this colonel
from a nail in a wall.

593
00:32:03,255 --> 00:32:05,341
[Man] Is there a lawyer
representing the family?

594
00:32:05,424 --> 00:32:06,592
[Parker] Oh, unnecessary.

595
00:32:06,675 --> 00:32:08,094
I am of the firm opinion

596
00:32:08,177 --> 00:32:11,555
that family is the most
important thing in the world.

597
00:32:11,639 --> 00:32:14,308
In mind of that,
I have taken the Liberty

598
00:32:14,391 --> 00:32:16,143
of making these contracts out

599
00:32:16,227 --> 00:32:19,355
in the name
of Elvis Presley enterprises.

600
00:32:19,438 --> 00:32:20,648
Afamily business.

601
00:32:20,731 --> 00:32:23,526
And I was thinking,
Vernon Presley:

602
00:32:23,609 --> 00:32:25,069
Business manager.

603
00:32:28,447 --> 00:32:30,116
[Elvis] What do you think, daddy?

604
00:32:30,491 --> 00:32:32,785
[Vernon] Uh... well, uh...

605
00:32:32,868 --> 00:32:34,662
- I like it very much, son.
- [Parker] Ah!

606
00:32:34,745 --> 00:32:36,122
[Laughing]

607
00:32:36,664 --> 00:32:39,959
Mrs. Presley,
your son has a unique gift.

608
00:32:40,042 --> 00:32:41,544
It's as though
he has the strength

609
00:32:41,627 --> 00:32:44,004
of two men inside of him.

610
00:32:44,088 --> 00:32:45,088
[Pen clicks]

611
00:32:45,297 --> 00:32:46,942
[Elvis] You know, colonel,
I would do anything

612
00:32:46,966 --> 00:32:49,093
to make sure my mama and daddy
never have to live

613
00:32:49,176 --> 00:32:50,636
in no poverty ever again.

614
00:32:51,178 --> 00:32:54,640
Mama, it's gonna turn out
so, so good.

615
00:32:57,601 --> 00:32:58,477
[Camera clicks]

616
00:32:58,561 --> 00:33:00,688
Colonel, I wasn't fooling
when I told those other kids

617
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:02,291
I was gonna buy 'em
a Cadillac one day.

618
00:33:02,356 --> 00:33:04,817
My boy, with me you will
buy them two Cadillacs.

619
00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:06,193
Two?

620
00:33:07,570 --> 00:33:08,404
A hundred?

621
00:33:08,487 --> 00:33:09,905
- Two hundred.
- [Chuckles]

622
00:33:09,989 --> 00:33:11,866
- A thousand.
- A million.

623
00:33:11,949 --> 00:33:12,783
An aeroplane.

624
00:33:12,867 --> 00:33:14,910
- How about a rocket ship?
- [Both laugh]

625
00:33:15,369 --> 00:33:19,707
Well, maybe not a rocket ship.
My mama don't like me to fly.

626
00:33:19,790 --> 00:33:23,377
But me,
I've always wanted to fly. Fast.

627
00:33:24,003 --> 00:33:26,964
Faster than the speed of light
to the rock of eternity.

628
00:33:27,798 --> 00:33:29,925
What? To the rock of eternity?

629
00:33:30,009 --> 00:33:31,510
Captain marvel, Jr.

630
00:33:32,678 --> 00:33:34,346
He's my favorite
comic book hero.

631
00:33:35,472 --> 00:33:36,807
He flies.

632
00:33:37,349 --> 00:33:39,185
Well, what about you,
Mr. Presley?

633
00:33:40,144 --> 00:33:42,146
Are you ready to fly?

634
00:33:43,063 --> 00:33:45,441
Yes, sir. I'm ready.

635
00:33:46,317 --> 00:33:47,651
Ready to fly.

636
00:33:55,868 --> 00:33:57,053
[Producer, over intercom]
Uh, Mr. Presley,

637
00:33:57,077 --> 00:33:59,580
try not to move around
so much during the takes.

638
00:33:59,663 --> 00:34:01,749
[Elvis] Ifl can't move,
I can't sing.

639
00:34:02,124 --> 00:34:04,877
[Singing]
J“ well, since my baby left me j“

640
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,545
[band plays two chords]

641
00:34:06,629 --> 00:34:08,881
J“ well, I found a new place
to dwell j“

642
00:34:09,965 --> 00:34:11,693
[producer 2] What is he doing?
We paid for this?

643
00:34:11,717 --> 00:34:13,570
J“ it's down at the end of
lonely street at... j“

644
00:34:13,594 --> 00:34:15,346
[producer 2]
It's a suicide song.

645
00:34:15,429 --> 00:34:17,181
J“ ...Heartbreak hotel j“

646
00:34:18,140 --> 00:34:20,935
[Parker] Them know-it-alls,
said I'd backed the wrong horse.

647
00:34:21,018 --> 00:34:23,270
But my boy knew teenagers.

648
00:34:23,354 --> 00:34:26,982
And that first record
changed everything.

649
00:34:27,066 --> 00:34:29,485
[Elvis Presley's
"I'm coming home" playing]

650
00:34:41,997 --> 00:34:43,350
[Newscaster]
In a few short months,

651
00:34:43,374 --> 00:34:45,292
Elvis Presley has popped
out of nowhere.

652
00:34:45,376 --> 00:34:47,544
Everywhere he goes,
he causes riots,

653
00:34:47,628 --> 00:34:50,297
mountains of press
and rivers of money.

654
00:34:50,381 --> 00:34:52,800
[Newscaster 2] It's another
gold record for Elvis Presley.

655
00:34:52,883 --> 00:34:55,594
This one giving him his first
worldwide hit.

656

[Crowd screaming]

657
00:35:00,015 --> 00:35:01,684
[Maid] Mrs. Presley, look!

658
00:35:03,227 --> 00:35:05,771
Come on, Mrs. Presley,
let me show you how to use this.

659
00:35:06,563 --> 00:35:08,774
Come on, hens! Come on, hens!
Come on!

660
00:35:08,857 --> 00:35:12,486
Come on! Outside!
Out of my house!

- —[Elvis] Go, Billy boy!
- Ya-hoo-hoo!

666
00:35:23,998 --> 00:35:27,626
[Parker] I took my boy's wiggling
and put it in the movies.

667
00:35:28,419 --> 00:35:30,337
I took his name and face,

668
00:35:30,421 --> 00:35:32,172
and put it on all sorts of toys

669
00:35:32,256 --> 00:35:34,049
and knick-knacks,
and called it...

670
00:35:34,425 --> 00:35:35,634
"Merchandise."

671
00:35:35,718 --> 00:35:38,262
Your face on every
conceivable object,

672
00:35:38,345 --> 00:35:41,807
including Teddy bear, perfume,
plaster busts...

673
00:35:41,890 --> 00:35:43,142
Of questionable likeness.

The Elvis Presley game.

675
00:35:44,893 --> 00:35:47,938
Something so everyone
can show their love.

676
00:35:48,022 --> 00:35:52,401
Grandma dodger,
what is that behind your ear?

677
00:35:53,652 --> 00:35:55,696
[Gladys] "I hate Elvis."

678
00:35:57,781 --> 00:35:58,824
Huh?

679
00:35:59,241 --> 00:36:00,743
Yes. I hate Elvis.

680
00:36:00,826 --> 00:36:02,411
In my way of thinking,
"I love Elvis,"

681
00:36:02,494 --> 00:36:03,662
that's an easy sell.

682
00:36:03,746 --> 00:36:05,414
Those who hate your son
will do so

683
00:36:05,497 --> 00:36:07,624
whether we profit
from it or not.

684
00:36:08,667 --> 00:36:13,339
After all,
what is hate worth if it's free?

685
00:36:14,590 --> 00:36:16,216
Oh, yeah. I get it.

686
00:36:19,762 --> 00:36:21,305
Snowman strikes again.

687
00:36:21,388 --> 00:36:23,640
[All laughing]

688
00:36:23,724 --> 00:36:26,393
[Parker] Merchandise, promotion.
Diskin, what else do we have?

689
00:36:26,477 --> 00:36:27,996
[Diskin] Necklaces.
—[Parker] Necklaces.

690
00:36:28,020 --> 00:36:29,938
[Diskin] Scarves.
—[Parker] Oh, scarves. Yes...

691
00:36:31,190 --> 00:36:33,776
[Lansky] Mr. Presley
and Mr. King...

692
00:36:33,859 --> 00:36:34,943
Regular peas in a pod,

693
00:36:35,027 --> 00:36:36,987
relieving me
of my finest threads.

694
00:36:37,071 --> 00:36:38,197
Must be some occasion.

695
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,573
Mr. Lansky, it's Milton berle.

696
00:36:39,656 --> 00:36:41,492
The whole of america'll
be watching.

697
00:36:41,575 --> 00:36:43,577
I don't watch television.

698
00:36:43,660 --> 00:36:44,828
So what's it gonna be?

699
00:36:44,912 --> 00:36:46,246
How you gonna
blow their wigs off?

700
00:36:46,872 --> 00:36:49,833
Well, the network
wants me to do a ballad.

701
00:36:50,584 --> 00:36:52,354
But I'm thinking about
cuttin' it up with "hound dog."

702
00:36:52,378 --> 00:36:53,295
Whoo!

703
00:36:53,379 --> 00:36:58,967
Elvis Presley, "hound dog,"
and uncle miltie.

704
00:36:59,927 --> 00:37:01,887
Strange things
are happening every day.

705
00:37:01,970 --> 00:37:04,765
[Elvis, on TV] J“ you ain't nothin'
but a hound dog, hound dog j“

706
00:37:04,848 --> 00:37:07,017
j“ cryin' all the time j“

707
00:37:07,101 --> 00:37:09,520
j“ you ain't nothin' but a
hound dog j“

708
00:37:09,603 --> 00:37:11,271
j“ cryin' all the time j“

709
00:37:12,147 --> 00:37:13,857
j“ well, you ain't never
caught a rabbit j“

710
00:37:13,941 --> 00:37:15,859
j“ and you ain't no friend of mine j“

711
00:37:16,610 --> 00:37:19,238
j“ when they said
you was high classed j“

712
00:37:19,321 --> 00:37:20,781
j“ well, that was just a lie j“

713
00:37:21,698 --> 00:37:24,410
j“ yeah, they said
you were high classed... j“

714
00:37:24,493 --> 00:37:26,829
behold, tomorrow, all of america

715
00:37:26,912 --> 00:37:29,123
will be talking
about Elvis Presley.

716
00:37:29,206 --> 00:37:30,249
My wiggling boy.

717
00:37:30,332 --> 00:37:32,084
[Gladys and Vernon laughing]

718
00:37:32,668 --> 00:37:34,920
Even as a little one,
he made me laugh so.

719
00:37:35,003 --> 00:37:36,588
He's so funny!

720
00:37:36,672 --> 00:37:38,992
J“ you never caught a rabbit
you ain't no friend of mine j“

721
00:37:41,009 --> 00:37:41,927
[laughter]

722
00:37:42,010 --> 00:37:45,514
J“ you ain't nothin'
but a hound dog, a hound dog j“

723
00:37:47,099 --> 00:37:48,475
j“ cryin' all the time j“

724
00:37:48,559 --> 00:37:49,959
[aide] And senator,
for the next leg

725
00:37:50,018 --> 00:37:51,520
of your racial integrity tour,

726
00:37:51,603 --> 00:37:54,231
we booked the overton
park shell in Memphis.

727
00:37:54,731 --> 00:37:56,525
What are they laughing about?

728
00:37:56,608 --> 00:37:58,444
[Laughter continues]

729
00:37:59,403 --> 00:38:02,656
[Elvis] J“ you ain't nothin'
but a hound dog j“

730
00:38:03,991 --> 00:38:06,493
j“ cryin' all the time j“

731
00:38:06,618 --> 00:38:08,704
who the hell is that?

732
00:38:08,787 --> 00:38:10,998
It's that boy from Memphis.

733
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,292
[Dreamily] Elvis Presley.

734
00:38:13,375 --> 00:38:14,793
J“ cryin' all the time j“

735
00:38:15,627 --> 00:38:19,339
awhite boy from Memphis,
moving like a goddamn...

736
00:38:20,132 --> 00:38:26,013
[Elvis singing]
J“ is your heart filled with pain j“

737
00:38:27,473 --> 00:38:30,100
j“ shall I come back... j“

738
00:38:30,184 --> 00:38:35,063
the obscenity and vulgarity
of this rock and roll music

739
00:38:35,147 --> 00:38:38,942
is obviously a means by which
the white man and his children

740
00:38:39,026 --> 00:38:41,195
can be driven to the level
of the negro.

741
00:38:41,278 --> 00:38:43,131
[Elvis] The colored folks have
been singing and playing it

742
00:38:43,155 --> 00:38:45,741
just like I'm doing it now, man,
more years than lknow.

743
00:38:45,824 --> 00:38:47,264
Colonel Parker,
we called you in here

744
00:38:47,326 --> 00:38:49,036
to talk about this act of yours.

745
00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:50,722
[TV reporter]
A petition has begun circulating

746
00:38:50,746 --> 00:38:53,248
to bar Elvis Presley
from television.

747
00:38:53,332 --> 00:38:54,392
[Eastland]
We've set up a committee

748
00:38:54,416 --> 00:38:57,628
to keep an eye on this vulgar,
animalistic rock and roll bum.

749
00:38:57,711 --> 00:38:59,522
[TV host] Your style of gyrating
while you sing

750
00:38:59,546 --> 00:39:00,839
has been bitterly criticized...

751
00:39:00,923 --> 00:39:02,108
I don't feel I'm doing
anything wrong.

752
00:39:02,132 --> 00:39:04,801
[Woman] We simply will not
advertise on any station

753
00:39:04,885 --> 00:39:06,445
that puts this delinquent
on television.

754
00:39:06,512 --> 00:39:09,389
Colonel, you put an end
to your boy's animal behavior,

755
00:39:09,473 --> 00:39:10,682
or we will.

756
00:39:10,766 --> 00:39:14,061
[Parker] Don't worry, senator,
my boy does what he's told.

757
00:39:14,144 --> 00:39:16,772
[Elvis singing] J“ tell me dearj“

758
00:39:16,855 --> 00:39:22,361
j“ are you lonesome tonight? J“

759
00:39:26,532 --> 00:39:28,534
"Elvis the pelvis."

760
00:39:28,617 --> 00:39:31,620
That's one of the most childish
expressions I've ever heard

761
00:39:31,703 --> 00:39:33,288
coming from an adult.

762
00:39:33,830 --> 00:39:35,791
Is Mr. Allen gonna cancel me
from the show?

763
00:39:36,500 --> 00:39:37,793
Yes.

764
00:39:37,876 --> 00:39:39,253
Yes, he is.

765
00:39:40,087 --> 00:39:44,091
He is replacing you with one of
the country's greatest singers.

766
00:39:45,509 --> 00:39:46,969
Mario lanza?

767
00:39:47,052 --> 00:39:48,345
Someone greater.

768
00:39:48,428 --> 00:39:51,223
The new Elvis Presley!

769
00:39:53,183 --> 00:39:55,394
Yeah, I snowed 'em!

770
00:39:55,477 --> 00:39:58,063
You just have to put on
one of these tails here,

771
00:39:58,146 --> 00:39:59,314
can sing the "hound dog,"

772
00:39:59,398 --> 00:40:02,943
and it's a light-hearted,
sophisticated family show.

773
00:40:03,026 --> 00:40:04,319
I can't move in one of these.

774
00:40:04,403 --> 00:40:05,404
And that is the point.

775
00:40:05,487 --> 00:40:07,573
Mr. Allen agreed only as long

776
00:40:07,656 --> 00:40:10,033
as there is no wiggling
of those hips.

777
00:40:10,117 --> 00:40:12,452
I can't figure it out. My own
mother approves of what I do.

778
00:40:14,288 --> 00:40:17,040
You have read the papers,
my boy?

779
00:40:17,124 --> 00:40:18,166
Yeah, I read the papers.

780
00:40:18,250 --> 00:40:21,295
The papers say that I shot
my mother and smoke marijuana.

781
00:40:21,378 --> 00:40:24,381
Your movement's
in the style of a black man

782
00:40:24,464 --> 00:40:26,842
and you have broken
the segregation laws.

783
00:40:26,925 --> 00:40:28,969
So let's follow the plan.
It's a good plan.

784
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:31,138
You do the Allen show,
family style,

785
00:40:31,221 --> 00:40:33,724
and then tomorrow
we go back to Memphis and

786
00:40:33,807 --> 00:40:37,519
we snow them on the July 4th
children's charitable concert.

787
00:40:37,603 --> 00:40:40,772
And we put this whole
unfortunate misstep behind us.

788
00:40:40,856 --> 00:40:43,275
Now, do you want
to go into politics?

789
00:40:43,358 --> 00:40:46,236
Or shall we stay
in show business?

790
00:40:48,947 --> 00:40:50,300
[Steve Allen] We want to do
a show the whole family

791
00:40:50,324 --> 00:40:51,867
can watch and enjoy,
and we always do.

792
00:40:51,950 --> 00:40:53,928
And at this time, it gives me
extreme pleasure to introduce

793
00:40:53,952 --> 00:40:55,704
the new Elvis Presley!

794
00:40:55,787 --> 00:40:57,456
[Dog barks]

795
00:40:57,539 --> 00:40:59,875
[Faint crowd laughter]

796
00:40:59,958 --> 00:41:01,376
[Female fan]
He used to be so hip.

797
00:41:01,460 --> 00:41:02,669
[Male fan] He looked so silly.

798
00:41:03,086 --> 00:41:04,564
[Male fan 2]
I mean, he looked like a Butler.

799
00:41:04,588 --> 00:41:06,316
[Female fan 2] Ican't believe
he agreed to sing to a dog.

800
00:41:06,340 --> 00:41:07,883
- [Door bangs]
- [Elvis] Goddamnit!

801
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:09,801
[Yells]

802
00:41:09,885 --> 00:41:10,987
He could've given us
some warning.

803
00:41:11,011 --> 00:41:13,555
I know how to do a skit,
I could've made it funny!

804
00:41:13,639 --> 00:41:17,225
The most stupid, embarrassing,
humiliating thing I ever did.

805
00:41:17,309 --> 00:41:18,911
Well, what the hell
do you want me to do about it?

806
00:41:18,935 --> 00:41:19,936
We're musicians!

807
00:41:20,020 --> 00:41:21,039
[Female fan 3]
It's just embarrassing.

808
00:41:21,063 --> 00:41:22,123
[Male fan 3]
Who does he think he is?

809
00:41:22,147 --> 00:41:24,733
[Voices overlapping,
echoing faintly]

810
00:41:25,233 --> 00:41:27,778
- [Horn toots]
- [Fans screaming]

811
00:41:30,697 --> 00:41:33,992
[Sound muted]

812
00:41:41,375 --> 00:41:44,336
[Gladys] She just went on and on
about the damn dog.

813
00:41:44,419 --> 00:41:46,630
And I said, "neighbors
shouldn't speak like that."

814
00:41:46,713 --> 00:41:48,215
And then she said...

815
00:41:48,298 --> 00:41:50,133
I like the bit with the dog.

816
00:41:50,217 --> 00:41:52,487
It was the most embarrassing
performance of my life, daddy.

817
00:41:52,511 --> 00:41:54,638
She wasn't the only one
who said it.

818
00:41:54,721 --> 00:41:56,431
- All the neighbors did.
- —oh, god.

819
00:41:56,515 --> 00:41:58,058
Those New York people
were using you

820
00:41:58,141 --> 00:41:59,685
to poke fun at the whole south.

821
00:41:59,768 --> 00:42:03,522
Getting a laugh out of putting
a hillbilly in a tailcoat

822
00:42:03,605 --> 00:42:05,607
- and singing to a dog.
- [Faint shouting]

823
00:42:06,108 --> 00:42:08,777
God damn it, mama, it was
either that or I get canceled.

824
00:42:08,860 --> 00:42:10,821
Then that's it for television.

825
00:42:10,904 --> 00:42:13,573
Colonel says I'm running out
of states that I'm welcome in.

826
00:42:13,657 --> 00:42:16,243
And they don't pay
unless I can perform.

827
00:42:16,326 --> 00:42:18,912
So colonel says I play the
charity concert tomorrow night,

828
00:42:18,995 --> 00:42:21,415
as the new family style,

829
00:42:21,498 --> 00:42:24,292
then everybody calms down
and we get back on track.

830
00:42:24,376 --> 00:42:27,045
Someone's got to think about
keeping a roof over our heads.

831
00:42:27,129 --> 00:42:28,463
Roof over our head?

832
00:42:28,547 --> 00:42:31,675
We've always managed to keep
a roof over our head, Vernon.

833
00:42:31,758 --> 00:42:33,510
Daddy is business manager.
It's his job.

834
00:42:33,593 --> 00:42:34,593
[Vernon] That's right.

835
00:42:34,636 --> 00:42:37,305
We was doing just fine
before that man came along.

836
00:42:37,389 --> 00:42:38,974
Colonel has got us all of this.

837
00:42:39,057 --> 00:42:41,560
I don't want all this!
You're unhappy!

838
00:42:41,643 --> 00:42:43,395
- I am not!
- [Grunts loudly]

839
00:42:44,646 --> 00:42:46,565
You're losing yourself, booby!

840
00:42:46,648 --> 00:42:48,358
Oh, hell, mama, I...

841
00:42:48,442 --> 00:42:49,860
Satnin knows.

842
00:42:49,943 --> 00:42:50,986
[Sighs]

843
00:42:51,069 --> 00:42:52,487
[Heavy sigh]

844
00:42:57,743 --> 00:43:00,203
[Gladys] The way you sing
and move...

845
00:43:00,579 --> 00:43:02,205
It's god-given.

846
00:43:03,582 --> 00:43:05,876
So there can't be nothing
wrong with it.

847
00:43:05,959 --> 00:43:08,420
[All chattering excitedly]

848
00:43:08,503 --> 00:43:10,464
Hey, I'm gonna ask cousin
about the movie.

849
00:43:10,547 --> 00:43:11,757
Hey, e.P., e.P.!

850
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,216
Can we close down
the movie house

851
00:43:13,300 --> 00:43:14,468
and watch Godzilla tonight?

852
00:43:14,551 --> 00:43:17,262
Don't tramp mud
in the house, Billy!

853
00:43:17,345 --> 00:43:18,698
[Billy] But you said

to both of us.

1125

[Eastland]
We warned you, colonel.

1126
00:58:38,974 --> 00:58:40,726
You've lost control
of this act of yours.

1127
00:58:40,810 --> 00:58:42,603
And he's dividing this nation.

1128
00:58:42,687 --> 00:58:46,065
There are a lot of people
who want to see him in jail.

1129

[Parker] Lhad to find a way out.

1130
00:58:50,403 --> 00:58:52,279
A way to save him.

1131
00:58:55,950 --> 00:59:00,371
[Elvis singing] J“ crawfish j“

1132
00:59:02,081 --> 00:59:05,376
j“ crawfish j“

1133
00:59:08,212 --> 00:59:12,925
no. There's no way my baby's
going to Germany for two years.

1134
00:59:13,008 --> 00:59:16,846
It is either the army orjail.

1135
00:59:17,972 --> 00:59:19,932
There is something else.

1136
00:59:20,015 --> 00:59:23,769
Vernon, they are poking
into your background.

1137
00:59:23,853 --> 00:59:25,521
We don't have nothin'
to be ashamed of!

1138
00:59:25,604 --> 00:59:27,273
Now, my daddy is a good man.

1139
00:59:27,356 --> 00:59:30,526
Yes, yes.
But your papa did go to jail.

"Elvis, the draft dodger."
"A family of delinquents."

J“ there was no moon j“

1143
00:59:40,995 --> 00:59:44,749
we may never book another date,
or sell another record again.

1144
00:59:44,832 --> 00:59:46,000
And my way of thinking,

1145
00:59:46,083 --> 00:59:48,669
the army could be
a brand new start for all of us.

1146
00:59:49,044 --> 00:59:50,379
Let them cut your hair.

1147
00:59:50,463 --> 00:59:54,133
Prove to the world that you are
a clean-cut, all-American boy.

1148
00:59:54,216 --> 00:59:57,219
You do your two years, and when

your own pictures.

1152

It's gonna be okay, mama.

1153

J“ and I pulled Mr. Crawfish

While he was
in basic training...

1161
01:00:31,754 --> 01:00:34,089
She worried and drank...

1162
01:00:35,591 --> 01:00:37,051
Worried...

1163
01:00:38,010 --> 01:00:39,220
And drank.

1164

There are some fine folks
from the press waiting outside.

1170
01:01:26,684 --> 01:01:30,896
Afew questions, pictures,
and they will leave us alone.

1171
01:01:31,647 --> 01:01:34,525
I can't get him to do anything.

1172
01:01:36,026 --> 01:01:38,821
He trusted her like nobody else,

1173
01:01:38,904 --> 01:01:42,491
and now she's gone
and who does he have now?

1174

[Vernon] Well...

1175

He trusts you. [Shaky exhale]

1176

Can you talk to him?

1177
01:01:52,042 --> 01:01:53,878
Oh, no.

1178
01:01:55,045 --> 01:01:56,964
It's not my place...

1179

We need your help now.

But you listen to me.

1188
01:02:30,873 --> 01:02:33,959
From this moment on,
anything she would have done...

1189
01:02:35,002 --> 01:02:37,671
I will carry out, in her name.

1190

01:12:17,292 --> 01:12:19,252
And you'll be even warmer
this season

1360
01:12:19,336 --> 01:12:21,838
in a 12 Gauge
cable-knit woolen sweater...

1361
01:12:21,922 --> 01:12:23,507
Satnin? —hi.

1362
01:12:23,590 --> 01:12:26,092
Made right at home on the
singer sewer sk 155 home knitter.

1363
01:12:26,176 --> 01:12:28,970
And now, here's Elvis!

1364
01:12:29,054 --> 01:12:30,138
[Stops tape]

1365
01:12:30,222 --> 01:12:32,599
[Mahalia Jackson singing on TV]

1366
01:12:32,974 --> 01:12:34,601
Can I watch the memorial
with you?

1367
01:12:35,060 --> 01:12:36,394
Yeah, baby.

1368
01:12:43,818 --> 01:12:46,279
I'm so tired of playing
Elvis Presley.

1369
01:12:47,030 --> 01:12:49,449
Too many people rely on me.

1370
01:12:49,533 --> 01:12:51,409
[Priscilla sighs]

1371
01:12:52,786 --> 01:12:54,454
I love you.

1372
01:12:54,538 --> 01:12:56,331
And your daughter loves you.

1373
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:01,127
We don't care about the money
or anything else.

1374
01:13:01,211 --> 01:13:02,963
We just want you to be happy.

1375
01:13:03,046 --> 01:13:04,798
[Jackson singing]
J“ lord, hold my hand j“

1376
01:13:04,881 --> 01:13:06,424
j“ and don't let me fall... j“

1377
01:13:06,508 --> 01:13:09,594
you're only really happy when
you sing the music you love.

1378
01:13:10,303 --> 01:13:14,266
[Jackson] J“ oh j“

1379
01:13:14,349 --> 01:13:17,644
j“ take my hand j“

1380
01:13:17,727 --> 01:13:19,229
[Elvis] Mahalia Jackson.

1381
01:13:20,647 --> 01:13:23,358
I used to hear her sing
at east street church.

1382
01:13:23,441 --> 01:13:26,736
[Jackson singing]
J“ got a feelin' in my body j“

1383
01:13:26,820 --> 01:13:28,863
that's the music
that makes me happy.

1384
01:13:28,947 --> 01:13:34,452
J“ this will be our lucky... day j“

1385
01:13:34,536 --> 01:13:38,582
so when things are too
dangerous to say... sing!

1386
01:13:39,165 --> 01:13:41,001
["I got a feelin' in my body"
playing]

1387
01:14:20,206 --> 01:14:22,751
[Jerry] You gotta meet these
binder and bones guys, e.P.

1388
01:14:23,209 --> 01:14:24,478
They're the ones
that put James brown,

1389
01:14:24,502 --> 01:14:27,047
the rolling stones onstage.

1390
01:14:27,130 --> 01:14:28,840
They're doing some
cutting edge stuff.

1391
01:14:28,923 --> 01:14:33,094
Mr. Binder, Mr. Howe...
Thanks for coming.

1392
01:14:34,596 --> 01:14:36,598
[Helicopter whirring
in distance]

1393
01:14:49,402 --> 01:14:51,505
[Elvis] When I first came
to Hollywood, I'd come up here

1394
01:14:51,529 --> 01:14:53,073
and sit for hours.

1395
01:14:54,115 --> 01:14:55,825
Right over there,
the observatory...

1396
01:14:55,909 --> 01:14:58,203
That's where they shot
rebel without a cause.

1397
01:14:58,745 --> 01:15:03,208
Man, I used to dream of being
a great actor like Jimmy Dean.

1398
01:15:03,833 --> 01:15:05,919
This sign was beautiful then.

1399
01:15:08,171 --> 01:15:09,714
And now...

1400
01:15:10,173 --> 01:15:12,801
Feels as though lots of things
are like that these days.

1401
01:15:13,176 --> 01:15:16,137
Broke down, beat up.

1402
01:15:16,971 --> 01:15:17,972
Rotten.

1403
01:15:20,141 --> 01:15:22,102
I really like what you guys did,

1404
01:15:22,185 --> 01:15:24,688
putting James brown
and the stones together.

1405
01:15:24,771 --> 01:15:27,857
We're, uh...
Big fans of yours, too.

1406
01:15:28,316 --> 01:15:30,777
It's just that, Mr. Presley,
we don't usually...

1407
01:15:30,860 --> 01:15:31,860
Oh, Elvis.

1408
01:15:32,278 --> 01:15:33,697
Elvis, uh...

1409
01:15:35,323 --> 01:15:37,742
Christmas specials
aren't really our thing.

1410
01:15:38,118 --> 01:15:39,327
I know.

1411
01:15:41,204 --> 01:15:42,622
Tell me, honestly...

1412
01:15:43,623 --> 01:15:46,000
Where do you boys
think my career's at right now?

1413
01:15:47,919 --> 01:15:49,129
Well, it's...

1414
01:15:49,754 --> 01:15:52,465
It's in the toilet, Elvis.

1415
01:15:54,509 --> 01:15:57,011
[Both laughing]

1416
01:15:58,096 --> 01:15:59,639
You hear that, Jerry?

1417
01:16:00,765 --> 01:16:04,018
Oh, lord. I knew you were
the right guys for this job.

1418
01:16:04,102 --> 01:16:06,479
You know,
back when I was starting out,

1419
01:16:06,563 --> 01:16:09,023
some people wanted
to put me in jail,

1420
01:16:09,107 --> 01:16:12,277
even kill me,
'cause of the way I was moving.

1421
01:16:14,487 --> 01:16:16,281
So they cut my hair,

1422
01:16:16,364 --> 01:16:19,242
they put me in uniform
and they sent me away.

1423
01:16:22,036 --> 01:16:23,705
That killed my mother.

1424
01:16:26,875 --> 01:16:28,668
And ever since then...

1425
01:16:30,462 --> 01:16:32,338
I've been lost.

1426
01:16:34,132 --> 01:16:36,885
And when you're lost,
people take advantage.

1427
01:16:40,096 --> 01:16:43,308
I need you fellas to help me
get back to who I really am.

1428
01:16:44,559 --> 01:16:45,810
And who are you, Elvis?

1429
01:16:48,521 --> 01:16:50,666
I sure as hell ain't somebody
who sings Christmas songs

1430
01:16:50,690 --> 01:16:52,901
by a fireplace for an hour.

1431
01:16:53,610 --> 01:16:55,528
[Steve] And what
does the colonel think?

1432
01:16:56,237 --> 01:16:58,490
I don't give a damn
what the colonel thinks.

1433
01:16:59,282 --> 01:17:01,242
[Rock clattering]

1434
01:17:13,713 --> 01:17:15,153
[Parker]
For this television special,

1435
01:17:15,215 --> 01:17:18,218
we've got this bindle fella,
number one hotshot director.

1436
01:17:18,301 --> 01:17:21,137
Elvis will be humoring him by
doing a few of his fresh ideas.

1437
01:17:21,221 --> 01:17:22,847
Ah, the sweater!

1438
01:17:22,931 --> 01:17:25,016
To Mr. Presley's
dressing room, please.

1439
01:17:25,642 --> 01:17:29,062
We are going to sing three
spectacular Christmas songs

1440
01:17:29,145 --> 01:17:31,231
- in that very sweater.
- [Applause]

1441
01:17:33,149 --> 01:17:35,568
Now, when that sign lights up,
what do you do?

1442
01:17:36,319 --> 01:17:37,779
- Applause.
- [Crowd applauding]

1443
01:17:41,658 --> 01:17:44,077
"Silent is the night"
and "deck the halls,"

1444
01:17:44,160 --> 01:17:46,913
and, uh...
"Whose child is this?"

1445
01:17:47,622 --> 01:17:49,582
[Elvis] You think
we can do some gospel?

1446
01:17:49,666 --> 01:17:51,251
Well, if you want
to find yourself,

1447
01:17:51,334 --> 01:17:52,627
first thing you do is go home.

1448
01:17:52,710 --> 01:17:56,256
Metaphorically, you know.
Get back to who you really are.

1449
01:17:56,339 --> 01:17:58,299
And what is the boy that...

1450
01:17:58,383 --> 01:18:00,361
- Oh, "the little drummer boy?"
- Yes, "the little drumming boy."

1451
01:18:00,385 --> 01:18:02,011
Oh, the... with the...

1452
01:18:02,095 --> 01:18:04,055
[Bones] We get your old band
back together.

1453
01:18:04,138 --> 01:18:07,934
But we are going to start with
"here comes Santa claus,"

1454
01:18:08,017 --> 01:18:09,853
isn't that right, Mr. Bindle?

1455
01:18:09,936 --> 01:18:11,455
Uh, the Christmas specials
come later in the show.

1456
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:12,313
Can you bring up two?

1457
01:18:12,397 --> 01:18:14,941
[Steve] A leather jacket.
Raw, dirty.

1458
01:18:15,024 --> 01:18:18,111
Remember, ladies and gentlemen,
this is television, not radio,

1459
01:18:18,194 --> 01:18:19,737
so when that goes up
and you clap,

1460
01:18:19,821 --> 01:18:21,048
let's see it
on your faces as well.

1461
01:18:21,072 --> 01:18:22,323
[Enthusiastic applause]

1462
01:18:22,407 --> 01:18:23,783
[Steve] But you need an audience.

1463
01:18:23,867 --> 01:18:25,076
[Elvis] Audience?

1464
01:18:25,159 --> 01:18:26,470
- Bring it over to one.
- [Bones] At any second now,

1465
01:18:26,494 --> 01:18:29,414
Elvis is gonna walk onto this
stage and perform just for you.

1466
01:18:29,497 --> 01:18:31,684
[Elvis] Iain't sang in front
of an audience in a long time.

1467
01:18:31,708 --> 01:18:32,584
[Steve] That's my point.

1468
01:18:32,667 --> 01:18:36,296
Ladies and gentlemen,
here's Elvis Presley!

Is "here comes
Santa claus" next?

1495
01:20:24,237 --> 01:20:25,237
Absolutely.

1496
01:20:26,114 --> 01:20:28,032
I see no reason why not.

even wearing the sweater.

I do not know what is going on.

Singing "hound dog"?

1503
01:20:45,466 --> 01:20:47,677
What does that have to do
with Christmas?

01:30:57,745 --> 01:31:00,122
[Stage manager] Standing by.
We're seconds away, folks.

1698
01:31:00,205 --> 01:31:01,433
We're just waiting on upstairs.

1699
01:31:01,457 --> 01:31:04,293
We're gonna get a rehearsal
going very shortly.

1700
01:31:04,376 --> 01:31:07,046
Let's go, let's go, people!
First positions!

1701
01:31:07,129 --> 01:31:08,714
Here we go, from the top.

1702
01:31:08,797 --> 01:31:11,717
Mrs. Presley is quite
the homemaker, Priscilla is,

1703
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:13,469
and I'm sure
she would love to have

1704
01:31:13,552 --> 01:31:16,847
one of the sk551 machines
so she can knit Elvis's...

1705
01:31:16,930 --> 01:31:19,141
- They were in there all night.
- Doing what?

1706
01:31:19,224 --> 01:31:21,244
He's working on a new song.
He says he's singing it.

1707
01:31:21,268 --> 01:31:22,936
New song? Whoa, hey!

1708
01:31:23,020 --> 01:31:25,522
It's beginning to look
a lot like Christmas. Yes!

1709
01:31:25,606 --> 01:31:27,441
Gentlemen, take your seats.

1710
01:31:30,069 --> 01:31:32,863
Now, that's a winter wonderland.

1711
01:31:32,946 --> 01:31:34,531
Mr. Bindle.

1712
01:31:34,615 --> 01:31:38,952
You and I are
on the same page at last.

1713
01:31:39,787 --> 01:31:41,580
Bring up the lights on the sign.

1714
01:31:41,664 --> 01:31:43,290
Okay, yeah. Let's go.

1715
01:31:44,291 --> 01:31:46,710
[Stage manager] Dancers, stop.
Dancers, stop. Stop!

1716
01:31:47,670 --> 01:31:49,463
Turn about. Turn about.

1717
01:31:50,547 --> 01:31:52,567
You've got to get some roll.
I got action on the right side.

1718
01:31:52,591 --> 01:31:55,052
Turn around. Come on,

j“ deep in my heart
there's a trembling question j“

1726
01:32:38,804 --> 01:32:42,766
j“ still, I am sure
that the answer's j“

1727
01:32:42,850 --> 01:32:46,019

j“ out there in the dark j“

1729
01:32:50,065 --> 01:32:54,236
j“ there's a beckoning candle, yeah j“

1730
01:32:54,319 --> 01:32:57,990
j“ and while I can think

1731
01:32:58,073 --> 01:33:01,827
j“ while I can stand

1732
01:33:02,161 --> 01:33:05,330
j“ while I can dream j“

1733
01:33:05,789 --> 01:33:09,376
j“ oh, please let my dream j“

1734
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:13,547
j“ come true, oh j“

1735
01:33:17,301 --> 01:33:20,554
j“ right now j“

01:33:21,096 --> 01:33:23,640
j“ let it come true right now j“

[Song ends]

1738
01:33:34,902 --> 01:33:36,111
[Faint applause]

1739
01:33:36,278 --> 01:33:38,322
[Elvis on monitor]
Thank you. Goodnight.

1740
01:33:38,405 --> 01:33:40,824
[Parker] I was always said,
when it came to music,

1741
01:33:40,908 --> 01:33:42,618
my boy knows best.

1742
01:33:42,701 --> 01:33:47,372
But, the special was my idea.
It was a tremendous hit.

1743
01:33:48,415 --> 01:33:50,125
We was back on top.

1744
01:33:50,209 --> 01:33:53,962
But some people were
putting ideas into his head

1745
01:33:54,046 --> 01:33:57,758
that he didn't need me no more.

1746
01:33:57,841 --> 01:34:00,385
["Any day now"
by Elvis Presley playing]

1747
01:34:03,388 --> 01:34:04,556
[Priscilla] Whoo-hoo!

1748
01:34:06,016 --> 01:34:07,017
It's working.

1749
01:34:07,100 --> 01:34:08,727
[Jerry] London, Germany, Japan...

1750
01:34:08,811 --> 01:34:10,312
Hulett here has got it
all lined up.

1751
01:34:10,395 --> 01:34:12,022
Air Presley's new wings.

1752
01:34:12,105 --> 01:34:14,167
[Hulett] You know, when you
play stadiums, it's like...

1753
01:34:14,191 --> 01:34:16,026
You do a week of shows
in just one night.

1754
01:34:16,109 --> 01:34:18,695
And when it's done,
you get on the plane...

1755
01:34:18,779 --> 01:34:20,823
You go where you want,
you play where you want,

1756
01:34:20,906 --> 01:34:23,367
and if they don't like it,
you go some place else.

1757
01:34:23,450 --> 01:34:25,369
You know who told me that?
Bb. King.

1758
01:34:25,452 --> 01:34:26,995
[Hulett] Well, b.B. Knows, man.

1759
01:34:27,079 --> 01:34:29,540
And the some place else
you should be going is overseas.

1760
01:34:29,623 --> 01:34:30,499
I like that.

1761
01:34:30,582 --> 01:34:33,377
You know, I heard last year
alone, you had two offers.

1762
01:34:33,460 --> 01:34:37,923
Germany and Japan, for a million
bucks for one night.

1763
01:34:38,006 --> 01:34:40,050
I mean, why the colonel
would turn that down,

1764
01:34:40,133 --> 01:34:41,593
I have no idea, man.

1765
01:34:41,677 --> 01:34:44,263
Well, if you figure it out,
can you let us know?

1766
01:34:44,346 --> 01:34:45,222
Yeah.

1767
01:34:45,305 --> 01:34:46,616
[Hulett] Well, screw him.
You've got the plane now.

1768
01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:48,225
You should use it.

1769
01:34:48,308 --> 01:34:50,269
[Elvis] Yeah, come to daddy.

1770
01:34:50,352 --> 01:34:52,354
Maybe we should call it
the "Lisa Marie."

1771
01:34:52,437 --> 01:34:53,706
[Jerry] That's a beautiful name.

1772
01:34:53,730 --> 01:34:54,815
[Priscilla] Right?

1773
01:34:57,234 --> 01:34:59,987
[Parker] Hit me. Hit me.

1774
01:35:00,612 --> 01:35:04,449
Mr. Parker, Mr. Kohn
would like to see you.

1775
01:35:05,117 --> 01:35:07,452
Colonel Parker. Hit me.

1776
01:35:09,580 --> 01:35:11,582
[Dealer] I can't, sorry.

1777
01:35:14,668 --> 01:35:17,170
[Kohn] You've run up
quite a tab, colonel.

1778
01:35:17,254 --> 01:35:20,507
And we hear your boy's working
with new people.

1779
01:35:21,592 --> 01:35:24,303
You've lost your meal ticket.

1780
01:35:24,386 --> 01:35:29,224
It's time to settle up,
before we have to make things...

1781
01:35:29,308 --> 01:35:30,934
Uncomfortable.

1782
01:35:31,018 --> 01:35:34,271
Well, before the army, we found
no record of you at all.

1783
01:35:34,354 --> 01:35:37,065
No passport, no residency.

1784
01:35:37,399 --> 01:35:40,277
You were never a colonel.
Never a Tom.

1785
01:35:40,360 --> 01:35:42,154
You weren't even a Parker.

1786
01:35:42,237 --> 01:35:47,743
Why did you flee Holland,
Andreas Van kuijk?

1787
01:35:51,538 --> 01:35:53,391
- [Brushing teeth]
- [Priscilla] I don't know why

1788
01:35:53,415 --> 01:35:55,184
you can't just let
the lawyers take care of it.

[Elvis] Lhave to see him
in Vegas.

1790
01:35:56,752 --> 01:35:59,212
He's in the hospital.
It's the right thing to do.

1791
01:35:59,296 --> 01:36:00,648
- Yeah, well...
- He's frail right now.

1792
01:36:00,672 --> 01:36:01,983
- You know what he's like, baby.
- [Slaps]

1793
01:36:02,007 --> 01:36:04,051
- Hey! Watch it.
- [Chatter on TV]

1794
01:36:04,134 --> 01:36:05,737
You know what he's like.
The second that you're near him

1795
01:36:05,761 --> 01:36:08,239
you'll be under ten feet of snow
before you know what's happened.

1796
01:36:08,263 --> 01:36:11,475
[Spits] My mind's made up.
Business is business.

1797
01:36:11,558 --> 01:36:12,643
He and I are done.

1798
01:36:12,726 --> 01:36:14,645
But I owe it to him
to tell him to his face.

1799
01:36:14,728 --> 01:36:18,398
Well, just make sure he
doesn't clip your wings, honey.

1800
01:36:18,482 --> 01:36:20,233
[Spits] He won't!

1801
01:36:20,317 --> 01:36:22,986
I am gonna go see him in Vegas.

1802
01:36:23,070 --> 01:36:27,240
I'm gonna look him in the eyes,
and I'm gonna tell him...

1803
01:36:27,783 --> 01:36:29,802
- [Priscilla] Watch my hair.
- [Elvis] I'm gonna tell him...

1804
01:36:29,826 --> 01:36:31,203
- Mm-hm.
- Mm-hm.

01:37:03,527 --> 01:37:04,653

- Mm?

Oh. My boy.

01:37:10,242 --> 01:37:12,411
Admiral. How are you?

1813
01:37:12,494 --> 01:37:15,497
Oh, my boy, I should have
come down to see you.

1814
01:37:15,580 --> 01:37:18,125
[Groaning] But I'm a little
laid up, you know.

1815
01:37:18,208 --> 01:37:19,352
[Nurse] You've just
had a heart attack.

1816
01:37:19,376 --> 01:37:20,736
You're not meant
to get out of bed.

1817
01:37:20,794 --> 01:37:23,255
Heart attack?
Colonel, you said your back...

1818
01:37:23,338 --> 01:37:27,300
My heart just stopped is all,
and I fell. It's...

1819
01:37:27,384 --> 01:37:29,428
I put my back out.

[Diskin] There you go.

It was all the excitement about
the Christmas special, you see.

1823
01:37:36,309 --> 01:37:37,644
I should never have worried,

1824
01:37:37,728 --> 01:37:41,481
because you came through
like you always do.

1825
01:37:41,565 --> 01:37:46,028
Nobody can sell "show"
to an audience like you.

1826
01:37:46,111 --> 01:37:48,363
I admit it. I was wrong.

1827
01:37:50,407 --> 01:37:51,783
Colonel, I...

1828
01:37:52,993 --> 01:37:54,745
I wanted to tell you in person.

1829
01:37:57,914 --> 01:38:00,292
As far as business
is concerned...

1830
01:38:01,334 --> 01:38:03,545
I think we need to go
our separate ways.

[Slot machines clattering faintly]

1832
01:38:08,675 --> 01:38:09,968
Well, you may be right.

1833
01:38:10,802 --> 01:38:13,138
Maybe it is time for me
to retire.

1834
01:38:13,221 --> 01:38:15,182
Oh, come on, colonel,
quit snowin' me.

1835
01:38:15,265 --> 01:38:16,641
You ain't retiring.

1836

I will miss the circus. I will.

1837
01:38:21,313 --> 01:38:23,607
But I cannot keep up
with these young fellas,

1838
01:38:23,690 --> 01:38:25,317
like your Mr. Hulett,

1839
01:38:25,400 --> 01:38:28,236
who wants to put together
a new show

1840
01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:30,947
for an international tour,

1841
01:38:31,031 --> 01:38:33,492
for you to play stadiums.

1842
01:38:33,575 --> 01:38:38,246
These international tours
are very, very expensive.

1843
01:38:39,039 --> 01:38:42,417
And the costs
cut into the artist's profits.

1844
01:38:42,501 --> 01:38:44,503
I worry that the financial risk

1845
01:38:44,586 --> 01:38:46,797
would put a strain
on your daddy.

1846
01:38:47,631 --> 01:38:51,218
But I cannot help but think,
as your former technical advisor

1847
01:38:51,301 --> 01:38:54,471
and as an old friend, what if...

1848
01:38:54,554 --> 01:38:59,267
The next Elvis Presley show
did not cost you a red cent?

1849
01:39:02,145 --> 01:39:07,234
I wonder if your daddy would
not like the sound of that.

1850
01:39:08,777 --> 01:39:12,072
The brand-new
international hotel.

1851
01:39:31,633 --> 01:39:34,219
[Whistles]
It's a mighty big stage.

1852
01:39:34,302 --> 01:39:35,971
The biggest in Las Vegas.

1853
01:39:36,555 --> 01:39:38,682
You could get lost
in a place like this.

1854
01:39:38,765 --> 01:39:41,560
My boy, you performed
that comeback special

1855
01:39:41,643 --> 01:39:44,396
on a tiny square,
inside a studio,

1856
01:39:44,479 --> 01:39:46,314
and the fans loved it.

1857
01:39:46,398 --> 01:39:47,774
In a room this size,

1858
01:39:47,858 --> 01:39:52,654
you could give them
the greatest show on earth.

1859
01:39:52,737 --> 01:39:54,990
Nothing less than Elvis Presley.

1860
01:39:56,324 --> 01:39:59,286
I've been experimenting
with a new, big sound.

1861
01:39:59,369 --> 01:40:00,704
Good. Good, my boy.

1862
01:40:00,787 --> 01:40:02,956
Because you can fill up
this entire stage

1863
01:40:03,039 --> 01:40:05,584
with every musical idea that is
inside that head.

1864
01:40:06,918 --> 01:40:08,336
No, it would cost.

1865
01:40:08,420 --> 01:40:10,839
[Laughing]
Yes, that's the beauty of it.

1866
01:40:10,922 --> 01:40:12,682

This international hotel...

1869
01:40:20,599 --> 01:40:21,599
[Elvis] Mm-hm.

1870
01:40:21,641 --> 01:40:24,436
Needs a major drawing card

1871
01:40:24,519 --> 01:40:27,355
to pull in all the rubes
and put it on the map.

1872
01:40:28,481 --> 01:40:31,067
So they will cover all
of the costs

1873
01:40:31,151 --> 01:40:33,236
of putting together your show.

1874
01:40:33,320 --> 01:40:35,030
And you just play here
for six weeks,

1875
01:40:35,113 --> 01:40:36,948
and then off you go,

1876
01:40:37,032 --> 01:40:40,076
to tour around the world

1877
01:40:40,160 --> 01:40:43,747
with no financial risk
to Elvis Presley enterprises.

1878
01:40:43,830 --> 01:40:45,207
None.

1879
01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:51,922

It will snow.

1883
01:41:05,810 --> 01:41:08,122
[Elvis] First of all, we're gonna
need the sweet inspirations.

[Musicians warming up]

1889
01:41:24,496 --> 01:41:27,082
[Elvis] You know, the first thing
that I ever recorded,

1890
01:41:27,165 --> 01:41:28,583
the very first thing,

1891
01:41:28,667 --> 01:41:31,670
was an old, uh, rhythm
and blues-type song

1892
01:41:31,753 --> 01:41:33,922
called "that's all right
little mama."

1893
01:41:34,005 --> 01:41:36,466
- [Instruments continue playing]
- And back then we only had

1894
01:41:36,549 --> 01:41:38,969
two or three instruments
at the time.

1895
01:41:39,886 --> 01:41:41,721
But this ain't
no nostalgia show.

1896
01:41:41,805 --> 01:41:43,723
We 're gonna do something
different.

1897

[Musicians fall silent]

1898
01:41:48,228 --> 01:41:51,481
I, uh...

pretty well.

2196
01:59:11,687 --> 01:59:13,814
We'll double
the police presence.

2197
01:59:13,897 --> 01:59:16,608
You'll have more security
than the president.

2198
01:59:17,568 --> 01:59:19,445
[Crowd cheering]

2199
01:59:19,528 --> 01:59:23,407
J“ lord almighty
I feel my temperature rising j“

2200
01:59:25,409 --> 01:59:29,330
j“ higher, higher
it's burning through to my soul j“

2201
01:59:31,498 --> 01:59:35,627
j“ girl, girl, girl, girl
you're gonna set me on fire j“

j“ my brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go j“

2203
01:59:40,174 --> 01:59:41,443
[Parker] And when
the show is done,

2204
01:59:41,467 --> 01:59:43,969
the boys will hustle you
to the motorcade.

2205
01:59:44,845 --> 01:59:46,805
Elvis has left the building.

2206
01:59:47,222 --> 01:59:50,934
Once you're in the air,
Dr. Nick will ensure your rest.

2207
01:59:51,935 --> 01:59:53,228
J“ burnin' love j“

2208
01:59:53,312 --> 01:59:56,273
[Parker] Land in the next city,
then we do it all again.

2209
01:59:56,357 --> 01:59:57,775
Fifteen times!

2210
01:59:57,858 --> 02:00:00,694
J“ I'm just a hunk
a hunk of burning love j“

2211

j“ I'm just a hunk

2212
02:00:02,279 --> 02:00:05,532
[Parker] It was life on the road,
just like the old days.

2213
02:00:05,616 --> 02:00:09,661
We were making so much snow,
we did it again.

2214
02:00:11,872 --> 02:00:13,290
And again.

2215
02:00:14,166 --> 02:00:15,667
And again.

2216
02:00:16,251 --> 02:00:19,463
All in the safety
of the us of a.

2217
02:00:23,217 --> 02:00:26,720
Eventually, he lost interest
in going overseas.

2218
02:00:26,804 --> 02:00:28,305
Why would you?

2219
02:00:28,389 --> 02:00:33,018
But I still kept my promise.
I brought the world to him.

2220
02:00:33,102 --> 02:00:37,106
I invented the world's
first ever satellite concert.

2221

["It's only love"
by Elvis Presley playing]

2222
02:00:40,150 --> 02:00:44,738
[Parker] 1.5 billion people in
one night, for a single artist.

2223
02:00:45,489 --> 02:00:48,700
Nothing like it before,
nothing like it since.

2224
02:00:51,328 --> 02:00:55,416
[Band playing final fanfare]

2225
02:00:58,585 --> 02:01:00,045
[Parker] But it wasn't enough.

2226
02:01:01,130 --> 02:01:06,260
He was addicted to the love
he felt from you onstage.

2227
02:01:07,136 --> 02:01:10,431
Ordinary love
just didn't compare.

2228
02:01:11,932 --> 02:01:16,645
So, in the lonely moments
between shows,

2229
02:01:16,728 --> 02:01:19,398
he turned to them pills.

2230
02:01:20,190 --> 02:01:22,484
Priscilla, I want you to
do something for me, will you?

2231
02:01:22,568 --> 02:01:25,988
You give my baby girl
a big hug for me, okay?

2232
02:01:28,115 --> 02:01:29,992
[Parker, faintly]
The roar of the crowd.

2233
02:01:30,075 --> 02:01:31,785
The life on the road.

pretending nothing has changed,

when everything has.

2236

Ain't no one gonna walk around

2239

sayin' they killed
Elvis Presley.

2240

I give a shit about the girls

that you sneak in
through the side door?

2255

No. I couldn't care less
about whoever it is

2256
02:02:30,052 --> 02:02:31,595
you sneak through the side door.

2257

of gospel legend,

[Jackson] Will you
come to Mississippi

2297
02:04:53,904 --> 02:04:55,280
and sing with us, Mr. Presley?

2298
02:04:55,697 --> 02:04:59,826
Why, bb. King will be there.
Perhaps even the rolling stones.

He won't allow it.

[Jackson] You are a man,
Mr. Presley.

make up his own mind

- Security, Jerry. You know that.
- —bullshit!

greatest asset without a reason,

There wasn't gonna be
an international tour

2315

'cause he can't leave
the country.

2316

He's got no citizenship,
no official identity.

2317

He doesn't exist.

2318

another reason.

stay here at home,

2327

and I will work
and I will worry.

kept turning them down,

I'd put him in a hospital.

a Presley enterprises decision.

Thank you. Thank you.

2345
02:07:17,422 --> 02:07:19,502
Now he's gonna ask the house
lights to be brought up.

2346
02:07:19,549 --> 02:07:20,842
'Cause we've been
looking at him.

2347
02:07:20,926 --> 02:07:22,928
He wants to look at us now.
He loves this.

2348
02:07:23,011 --> 02:07:24,451
I'd like to turn
the house lights up,

2349
02:07:24,513 --> 02:07:25,639
-ladies and gentlemen. —eh?

2350

I'd like to take a look at you.

Oh, you're beautiful. Thank you.

2353
02:07:34,356 --> 02:07:36,024
He'll mention the vips
that are here.

2354
02:07:36,107 --> 02:07:38,235
We've got some high-rollers
in here tonight.

Get ready for the spotlight.

Mr. International hotel himself.

2357
02:07:43,240 --> 02:07:45,033
- Thank you.
- Ah, there you go.

2358
02:07:45,617 --> 02:07:48,119
And right next to him,

2359
02:07:48,203 --> 02:07:53,041
is my so-called manager,
colonel Tom Parker.

2360
02:07:53,124 --> 02:07:56,253
- There he is.
- [Chuckling] Come on.

2361
02:07:56,711 --> 02:08:01,967
But I hear rumors
that colonel is an alien.

2362
02:08:02,050 --> 02:08:04,928

[Vernon] You spend so much money.

and the girls and the clothes,

to take the home

to get out of our contract...

That's right,

before he's looked after you.

Yes, I have lived from you, too,
but the difference is

Because we shared a dream.

to leave...

- [Lisa Marie] Bye, daddy.
- [Priscilla] You're so good.

2534
02:19:01,918 --> 02:19:04,420
Hi. How are you? How you doing?

2535
02:19:04,504 --> 02:19:05,880
[Vernon] We're okay.

2536
02:19:07,924 --> 02:19:10,968
[Jet engines whining]

2537
02:19:25,233 --> 02:19:26,442
Hey.

2538
02:19:31,489 --> 02:19:32,698
[Elvis] Hm.

2539
02:19:38,246 --> 02:19:39,789
How are you doing?

2540
02:19:43,251 --> 02:19:44,752
[Sighs]

2541
02:19:54,971 --> 02:19:58,182
Honey, there's this place
in San Diego

2542
02:19:58,266 --> 02:19:59,892
that you can go to rest.

2543
02:20:00,935 --> 02:20:02,270
To heal.

2544
02:20:02,353 --> 02:20:04,647
After the show, you can fly
directly and be in a clinic

2545
02:20:04,730 --> 02:20:07,108
before anyone knows.
It's all been arranged.

2546
02:20:09,527 --> 02:20:11,779
I'm gonna be 40 soon, 'cilla.

2547
02:20:14,615 --> 02:20:15,866
[Whispers] Forty.

2548
02:20:16,951 --> 02:20:19,287
And nobody's gonna remember me.

2549
02:20:21,831 --> 02:20:23,833
I never did anything lasting.

2550
02:20:26,335 --> 02:20:29,422
I never made that classic film
that I could be proud of.

2551
02:20:29,505 --> 02:20:31,632
But what about a star is born?

2552
02:20:33,634 --> 02:20:35,928
Uh... [chuckles lightly]

2553
02:20:37,972 --> 02:20:41,100
Barbra... the colonel...

2554
02:20:42,059 --> 02:20:44,061
[Both chuckle]

2555
02:20:47,690 --> 02:20:50,735
[Crying softly] Please go.

2556
02:20:50,818 --> 02:20:52,403
For Lisa?

2557
02:20:53,112 --> 02:20:55,531
If you dream it,
you can do it, baby.

2558
02:20:57,742 --> 02:20:59,452
I'm all out of dreams.

2559
02:21:02,038 --> 02:21:03,706
Promise me.

2560
02:21:06,125 --> 02:21:07,543
[Priscilla sniffles]

2561
02:21:08,210 --> 02:21:09,629
[Light knocking]

2562
02:21:11,130 --> 02:21:12,340
[Exhales]

2563
02:21:37,740 --> 02:21:41,410
[Whispering]
I... will always... love you.

2564
02:21:59,595 --> 02:22:02,431
-Hi, baby. {Giggles}

2565
02:22:06,560 --> 02:22:08,688
[iet engines revving]

2566
02:22:47,852 --> 02:22:50,271
[Elvis] Did you know there's
a kind of bird

2567
02:22:50,354 --> 02:22:52,606
that doesn't have any legs?

2568
02:22:52,690 --> 02:22:54,608
So it can't land on nothing.

2569
02:22:56,902 --> 02:22:59,029
It lives its whole life
on the wing.

2570
02:23:01,574 --> 02:23:05,411
When it gets tired,
it just spreads its wings

2571
02:23:05,494 --> 02:23:07,872
and sleeps on the wind.

2572
02:23:10,791 --> 02:23:14,170
If it ever does land,
even but one time...

2573
02:23:16,881 --> 02:23:18,507
So it dies.

2574
02:23:21,969 --> 02:23:23,220
[Reporter] Good evening.

2575
02:23:23,304 --> 02:23:26,682
Elvis Presley died today.
He was 42.

2576
02:23:26,766 --> 02:23:28,601
Apparently,
it was a heart attack.

2577
02:23:28,684 --> 02:23:30,603
He was found in his home
in Memphis...

2578
02:23:30,686 --> 02:23:32,873
[Reporter 2] President Carter
has just made a statement...

2579
02:23:32,897 --> 02:23:34,374
[President Carter]
Elvis Presley's death

2580
02:23:34,398 --> 02:23:36,859
deprives our country
of a part of itself.

2581
02:23:36,942 --> 02:23:38,652
He was unique and irreplaceable.

2582
02:23:38,736 --> 02:23:40,297
[Reporter 3] Thousands
of mourners have gathered

2583
02:23:40,321 --> 02:23:41,548
outside the gates
of Graceland...

2584
02:23:41,572 --> 02:23:43,449
[Carter] Using the styles
of white country

2585
02:23:43,532 --> 02:23:45,409
and black rhythm and blues,

2586
02:23:45,493 --> 02:23:48,162
permanently changed the face
of American popular culture.

2587
02:23:48,245 --> 02:23:50,599
[Reporter 4] The outpouring
of grief can be seen everywhere.

2588
02:23:50,623 --> 02:23:53,375
[Carter] He was a symbol
to people the world over,

2589
02:23:53,459 --> 02:23:56,420
of the vitality,
rebelliousness...

2590
02:23:56,504 --> 02:23:59,590
[Parker] What killed my boy?

2591
02:23:59,673 --> 02:24:02,843
Them doctors say
it was his heart.

2592
02:24:02,927 --> 02:24:05,304
Others, the pills.

2593
02:24:05,387 --> 02:24:07,848
Some say it was me.

2594
02:24:08,933 --> 02:24:12,561
No. I'll tell you
what killed him.

2595
02:24:13,854 --> 02:24:16,440
It was love.

2596
02:24:17,024 --> 02:24:19,360
His love for you.

2597
02:24:19,443 --> 02:24:21,737
[Faint applause, cheering]

2598
02:24:21,821 --> 02:24:24,406
You know, a few weeks
before he died,

2599
02:24:24,490 --> 02:24:27,535
I saw him sing
for the very last time.

2600
02:24:28,536 --> 02:24:30,704
He could barely stand up.

2601
02:24:31,997 --> 02:24:34,708
"Unchained melody."

2602
02:24:34,792 --> 02:24:37,086
From an album called
unchained melody.

2603
02:24:38,212 --> 02:24:42,132
Makes a lot of sense. Okay.
[Light chuckle]

2604
02:24:42,216 --> 02:24:46,720
[Parker] But that night,
he sang as he always did.

2605
02:24:46,804 --> 02:24:49,056
With all his heart and soul.

2606
02:24:49,139 --> 02:24:50,683
How you like it so far?

2607
02:24:50,766 --> 02:24:52,184
[Crowd cheering]

2608
02:24:53,727 --> 02:24:57,147
[Parker] That old voice rang out,

2609
02:24:57,231 --> 02:25:01,819
- and he sang with all his life.

2632
02:26:56,725 --> 02:26:58,244
[Elvis] When I was a child,
ladies and gentlemen,

2633
02:26:58,268 --> 02:27:00,270
I was a dreamer.
I read comic books

2634
02:27:00,354 --> 02:27:02,398
and I was the hero
of the comic book.

2635
02:27:03,357 --> 02:27:05,442
I saw movies and I was
the hero in the movie.

2636
02:27:06,777 --> 02:27:08,821
So every dream
that I ever dreamed

2637
02:27:08,904 --> 02:27:11,156
has come true a hundred times.

2638
02:27:12,825 --> 02:27:20,825
J“ are you, still mine? J“

2639
02:27:21,083 --> 02:27:29,083
j“ ineed your love, ooh j“

2640
02:27:31,260 --> 02:27:33,679
I learned very early
in life that:

2641
02:27:33,762 --> 02:27:36,765
"Without a song,
the day would never end;

2642
02:27:36,849 --> 02:27:38,851
without a song,
a man ain't got a friend;

2643
02:27:39,643 --> 02:27:42,771
without a song,
the road would never bend,

2644
02:27:42,855 --> 02:27:43,939
without a song."

2645
02:27:44,023 --> 02:27:45,357
So I keep singing a song.

2646
02:27:45,941 --> 02:27:48,652
J“ to... j“

2647
02:27:48,736 --> 02:27:51,864
