what, I wanted to celebrate early, because the band is gonna be playing during the holidays. You are unbelievable. Look at your presents. Baby, look at what Santa brought you. You must have been good. Go ahead! Christmas is early, baby! Go get it. What's he taken? A guitar. A musician just like your daddy. Can you play? Hello? What else you got? What's that? How'd you get this number? How do you think I got it? Put Ray on the phone. Ray, telephone. Deal with it, man. Ray, it's important. Telephone. I-I'll be right back. All right. Who is it? It's Margie, man. Junior, come... come and help your mama change your brother's diaper. I don't want to go. I want to stay and open my presents. All right, come on! I don't want to go. I don't care. Don't let me tell you twice. Hello. Hey, baby. Surprise! I came to L.A. To surprise you. Surprise me? Are you out of your mind? I'm with my wife and my kids. Well, on the road, I'm Mrs. Ray Charles. That's on the road. Yeah, but, baby, come on, I got everything set up for us. Did you hear what I just said to you, huh? Oh, wait a minute, baby, look, I got a bottle of Bols, and... Shut up. Shut up. Listen, we record in two weeks, okay? I'll see you then. Wait a minute, Ray! Bye. Ray! ¤ One of these days, and it won't be long ¤ ¤ You're gonna look for me ¤ ¤ and I'll be gone ¤ ¤ 'Cause I believe ¤ ¤ I believe, yes ¤ ¤ I say I believe right now ¤ ¤ I believe ¤ ¤ Yes I believe ¤ ¤ Well I believe to my soul now ¤ ¤ You're tryin' to make a fool of me ¤ ¤ I believe, yes I believe ¤¤ Hold on, wait, wait. Cut, cut, cut. You know, y'all know that sounds off. Ahem, you know what, the three-part harmony is off. Let's start it all over again, uh, from the top with the band. ¤ I believe it, I believe it ¤¤ Whoa, pardner! Uh, what was that? I knew you'd like that, Ray. It's an eight-track. We just got it. We can record each part separately. Whoa, Nellie! You know, I can't wait to see that. What's so funny? Nothing, "pardner." Margie's drunk. Jeff? You should go home and sleep it off. Margie, come on now, let me take you home. No! I'll leave when I'm good and goddamn ready! She's good and goddamn ready right now. Why don't you make me leave this, sucker! Teach you to treat me like some piece of meat! I ain't shutting up! Should we get in there? No. Get them all out, right now. You'll have to make me leave! You know what, Jeff? Get all of them out of here. You're a cold-ass bastard! Let go of me, Jeff! You're a cold-ass bastard, Ray! See, he wouldn't spit on me if my ass was on fire! Damn right I wouldn't. Put me down, Jeff! Put me down! Damn it! You dropped your shoe. All right, come on, let's get back to work. Tom, this is what I want you to do. We'll lay my vocals down and finish the harmony parts. Uh, how're we gonna do the harmonies, Ray? You sent the girls home. I know what I did with the girls. Let me take care of that. You just turn that eight-track on, and I'll do the girls' parts myself. And go out here somewhere and find me an "Oh, Johnny" girl. Uh, one minute. What the hell's an "Oh, Johnny" girl? I think I've got an idea. ¤ Last night you were dreaming ¤ ¤ and I heard you say ¤ ¤ Oh, Johnny! ¤ ¤ When you know my name is Ray ¤ ¤ That's why I believe right now ¤ ¤ I believe ¤ ¤ Yes I believe ¤ ¤ I say I believe right now ¤ ¤ I believe ¤ ¤ Yes I believe ¤¤ The sky's the limit, Ray. I got you a $5,000-a-night raise. They're gonna up you to 15 per. Rehearsal in 10 minutes. Jeff, could you get me some cigarettes? Okay, boss. 15 per, huh? You know, Ray, your contract with Atlantic is expiring in four months. Yeah. Yeah, I've got the contract with me. They're going to double my royalties. Before we jump back in that pond, I thought I'd find out what else was out there. I had a very productive chat with ABC-Paramount
