rather be
right in my grave
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share right now
What's mine
And then the harder they come
the harder they'll fall
One and all
Ooh, the harder they come
the harder they'll fall
One and all
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Harder they come
The harder they'll fall
One and all
What I say one time
Sometime, sometime I feel
The harder, mmm
One more time
One more time, yeah
One more time now, uh
All right, that's enough.
That song all right.
I think we can use it.
- When it going to be released, huh?
- Read this first.
What's the meaning of this?
That means you get
$20 for the record.
Twenty dollars, sir?
That don't sound right.
- How much do you think it's worth, then?
- I don't really know, sir.
Come on, you must have an idea.
What do you think it's worth?
Well, I think at least
about $200, you know, sir.
I don't think I'm signing this
for $20, you know, sir.
I see. Looks like
you have a new producer.
I wish you luck.
- Numero Uno!
- Hi, brother. How are you doing?
Not bad, you know. I have this record
I'd like you to play for me.
Let me have a look.
Hey, you're on a Hilton's label.
No, well, I used his studio.
I like the sound.
I see. But, well,
I deal directly Hilton's, man.
But this is my personal
record, you know.
This is personal.
I'm an independent producer as well.
Well, like I said,
I deal with Hilton's direct.
You know, this is show business, baby.
No business, no show.
The oppressors
are trying to keep me down
Making me feel like a clown
- No, man, you're joking.
What I gonna do with this?
After Hilton cut me off,
you gonna supply me?
Hilton don't want this thing.
Take it back, son.
Every day you say you're gonna sell the
record, but you can't without Hilton.
We've waited long enough, man.
I want the money now.
I'm gonna get my share now
What's mine
And then the harder they come
the harder they'll fall
One and all
- Mr. Hilton.
- What do you want now?
- To make another record?
- Not exactly, no, sir.
- What do you want, then?
- I want the money.
Which money? Which money?
Talk quick. Which money?
You'll take the $20?
Yes, I'll settle for that.
You're damn right
you'll settle for that.
I don't even particularly want
to do business with you anyway.
- What do you say your name is?
- Ivanhoe Martin.
Ivanhoe what?
Martin.
Here. Sign here.
And remember...
next time you cut a record,
you see, sport,
that I control this business.
Understand? Okay?
And remember something else.
I make hits, not the public.
I tell the DJs what to play.
Understand?
What do all of you want?
Ivanhoe no pay any of you yet?
But Ivan's
supposed to pay you now.
I not supposed to give you money.
Anyhow, come.
And let this be
a lesson to you, see?
Learn something
from this next time.
Remember that fellow that wouldn't sign
the contract? You can release it.
- Him sign now?
- Yep, but don't push it.
Tell the DJs I just want
to make back my money, okay?
- But, sir, it's a good record, you know.
- I know, I know.
But he's a troublemaker.
I don't want anything to do with him.
I don't want
to build him up, okay?
- What happened, son?
- Trouble, sir.
- What kind of trouble?
- Them shot Pedro's wife Nicole this evening.
- Who shot her?
- Army, sir.
- She had grass on her.
- Pedro got away with that.
- All right, leave it to me.
- What I must tell the trader?
They will just have to hold off
for a couple of days, Jose.
- But the traders pay protection...
- Leave it to me.
Traders pay protection money,
and one of them got shot.
Tell them not to get frightened. Just cool
it for a couple of days and leave it to me.
- What about Pedro's wife?
- You organize that.
Find somebody to take her place,
all right? Check with me later.
I have to go now, but you
check me at the police station.
All right.
