guys fill that place,
you can make 5,000 bucks, easy.
- Book us for tomorrow night.
- Hold it! Tomorrow night?
A gig like that, you gotta prepare
the proper exploitation.
I know about that stuff.
I been exploited all my life.
Forget it. There's no way
with you guys. Forget about it.
Say, how's Mrs Sline?
I might have some information
she'd like to know.
You blackmailing me?
If you wanna put it that way.
Maury, we need this gig!
We're on a mission from God.
Get us the hall, and I guarantee
we'll pack them in for miles around.
What do you say?
Okay. I'll get you the Palace Hotel.
I'll print up show bills. I'll make
the place look real pretty, okay?
I don't think you guys
are gonna gross dollar one.
But if you do, I want a taste
of the gig, okay?
Thanks, Maury.
Let's go, boys!
Listen, you boys heard me talk
about Jake and Elwood.
They used to live here,
just like you.
And I used to sing to them,
just like with you.
Tonight Jake and Elwood are going out
to sing and play...
to raise money
to help you children.
Your lazy butts are in this too!
So get up on that wagon.

How we doing?
So far we covered Lake, McHenry...
and part of Du Page County.
Good. Let's get to the gig.
What is it?
We're out of gas.
Oh, shit.
Wow! A classic. What a room!
This place is gonna swing tonight.
It's a fucking barn.
We'll never fill it.
We've gotta fill this hall tonight.
A lot of young children
are depending on it.
Young children?
What do you mean?
Jake and Elwood are donating
the band's share of the door money...
to pay the taxes
on the St. Helen's orphanage...
in Calumet City.
What?
- We're out of gas.
- Yep. Mind if we fill her up?
Nope. I said "we're" out of gas.
Tanker truck's late.
Should have been here two hours ago.
It's always late on Thursdays.
I guess we'll have to wait.
Excuse me, sir.
Yes, you. Could you fill it up
with premium, and check under the hood?
Sure.
You want I should wash
the dead bugs off the windshield?
No. I'm in kind of a hurry.
Where in the hell are they?
So maybe you'd like to come by
and see the show.
I'm awfully sorry, but I do have
a prior dinner engagement.
Thanks, Marvin.
Get me Troopers Daniel and Mount.
I don't see those Blues Brothers.
We'll wait.
Okay, you're all set.
That'll be $94.
Here's 95.
Thank you.
Okay. And that's a dollar change.
- Oh, keep the change.
- Thanks.
So, look. If your date...
don't work out tonight
for any reason...
there's a motel
up on the interstate.
Maybe we could, say, meet...
around midnight?
I'll think about it, Elwood, okay?
Bye.
Son of a bitch!
Come on!
We're really late.
You'd better step on it.
I always like to perform
for angry mobs.
You can't quit now.
What can they be doing?
My head hurts.
That Night Train's a mean wine.
You'd better get bright!
We got a show to do.
Then we
