on, man. Come on, let's go.
- Honey, will you get the phone?
- I'm washing the car. Can you get it?
Oh, there's Leonard's Grocery.
- You feel like a Dr. Pepper, buddy?
- Sure.
Is there something
I can do for you, ma'am?
Don't you know who I am?
Nope, I can't say I do.
Give me a Moon Pie
and a Dr. Pepper, Mr. Leonard.
Oh, it's Mary Jo... Rose Foster.
- How you been, Mary Rose?
- Okay.
What brings you back to these parts?
Jeez.
Maybe next time you'll know who I am.
I am the Rose.
The Rose!
Oh, my God. This is her.
Look at her.
- It looks exactly like her.
- I don't believe it.
- Thirty-nine flood.
- Fifty-one, please.
Fifty-one, please.
Check, one, two.
Soap, soap. Sin. Test.
That's good on the highs...
...but check the crossover and
bring it up around 300. Book. Bottom.
Book. That's it.
We're getting real close.
If you could give me
some more volume now...
You show 53 up? Thank you.
Can you try that light again?
We're sold out.
I'm sorry, no tickets.
Standing room only.
I checked every hospital
and sheriff's office around.
- She'll be here.
- I'm worried.
Well, don't worry. She'll be here.
She needs this concert.
She'd crawl on her knees to get here.
Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it!
You can't go in there, lady.
- Hey! Hey, stop that woman!
- Hey, lady, stop your car!
Hey, lady!
- I'll be damned.
- What did I tell you?
- I made it.
- Yeah. Yeah, I see.
Yeah, and...
- I've been doing some thinking.
- Oh, yeah?
And it's definite, Rudge.
I'm gonna take a year off.
- And...
- Yeah, go ahead.
I, uh...
I don't want to hurt the band none,
you know. So I think...
...I think it's a good idea
if we keep them on salary...
...after tonight just until...
...I can decide...
...when to come back and all.
Stuff like that.
You finished?
Yeah, I'm finished.
Do you know what this is?
- No.
- Well, you ought to. You signed it.
- Well, it must be my contract.
- Right. Good.
I've been reading it,
and I've been thinking about it.
For the last few nights
I've thought about us...
...about all of those
filthy holes we played.
All the hustlers I had to bargain with
every time you opened your mouth.
And not all for you.
It was for me too, you see,
because I loved it.
I loved it. I loved getting hold
of a selfish, hopeless junkie...
...and turning her into a performer
they'd mortgage Australia for.
Do you wanna play Brisbane? London?
You wanna play Paris? Tokyo?
And then, last night,
I woke up and I thought:
"Fuck all this.
Did we go down the road together
or not?" And I came to a decision.
Either you fulfill all the commitments
you asked me to make...
...or you fulfill none of them.
Do you get it?
- You're not singing tonight.
- You're crazy.
- The concert's off.
- What do you mean?
I'm the promoter. If I wanna
blow it, I damn well will.
Everyone will get their money back,
I'll pay them myself. By the way...
...get yourself another manager.
I don't want you in my life anymore.
You can start your vacation right now.
You're fired.
May I have your attention?
I want all stadium personnel...
...to meet with the production crew
in five minutes...
...at the north end of the stadium.
Thank you.
Rudge!
Rudge!
Stop!
Stop! Where you going?
Turn around, motherfucker!
Stop!
Turn around. Don't you walk out on me!
You can't do this.
I'm talking to you!
Come back here!
Come back! Come back!
I'm talking to you!
Where you going? Where you going?
Where you going?
Where's everybody going?
Houston.
- I missed you.
- Houston.
Oh, God. I thought
I'd never see you again.
I missed you.
I missed you so much.
I tried to stay away, but I couldn't.
- Where have you been?
- Taking care of some business.
- Rudge fired me.
- Fired you?
He fired me.
I came to get everything
straightened out. And he fired me!
He can't fire you.
Hell, he works for you!
He's the promoter. He pulled
the rug right out from under me.
Oh, God, what am I
