Elvis Edit

A big thank you to shorty Morgan's Dixie dolls!

A clean cut, all American boy.

A family business.

A few questions, pictures, and they will leave us alone.

A hundred?

A little more action

A long time.

A long, lonely time

A long, lonely time

A lot of it is basically...

A man on an elephant looks important.

A poor little baby child is born

A reverend once told me...

A segregationist rally just three miles away.

A shocking new book accuses colonel Tom Parker

A shot was fired from across the street.

A sign that Elvis is in fact here

A snowman is only as good...

A tragedy.

A way to save him.

A white boy from Memphis, moving like a goddamn...

About how I support my family and every goddamn person here.

About matters of conscience.

About the what?

Absolutely.

Acting like he was one of them radicals,

Admiral. How are you?

After all, what is hate worth if it's free?

After I perform, I shall spend the night in prayer.

After me in the newcomer spot.

After the carnival, I moved into the music business...

After the show, you can fly directly and be in a clinic

Ah, the sweater!

Ain't gonna change me none.

Ain't no one gonna stop me, man.

Ain't no one gonna walk around

Ain't nobody gonna do a better show than that.

Ain't nothing ever gonna do that.

Air Presley's new wings.

Alberta!

All in the safety of the us of a.

All of them.

All right, 'bones. On a one, three, four...

All right, all right. Thank you.

All right, bring that bass up, Jerry.

All right, daddy loves you.

All right, fellas. Come on.

All right, Glen, you're gonna start us off, okay?

All right, none of this will be in the special.

All right.

All right. First positions!

All showmen are snowmen.

All that your mama has sacrificed for you

All the important people did.

All the way to Florida with this colonel fellow

All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me

All we gotta do out there's just a bit of clownin' around.

Allow me to show you.

Alone.

Along with tailor mades and hand me downs.

Also, this man over here, I wouldn't be here without,

Always come correct there's no turnin' back

Am I gonna be riding on an elephant, too?

Am I the only one who ever thinks about Elvis' security!

Am I the only one who thinks about security?

An aeroplane.

An international tour now is out of the question.

And a hungry, little boy with a runny nose

And a man don't make up his own mind

And again.

And again.

And all the... You know, new airplane.

And appliance salesman?

And as an old friend, what if...

And at this time, it gives me extreme pleasure to introduce

And black rhythm and blues,

And business never closes till somebody gets killed.

And do somethin' about it

And doing my damn head in.

And don't let me fall

And don't we love him.

And drank.

And even your fans. Hmm?

And ever since then...

And everybody wants something different.

And family is the most important thing of all.

And fired on a radio equipped car

And fly him to the rock of eternity!

And for the older crowd, Elvis is back for a fifth year.

And girls writing him endless fan mail."

And got carted off to prison...

And has beens feed down your throat!

And have a lot of fun.

And have fun, my boy! Fun!

And he knows it.

And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight

And he wants to record one of your songs.

And he's dividing this nation.

And his hunger burns

And his mama cries

And his mama cries

And his mama cries

And his mama cries

And I have to promise her that little Lisa Marie's daddy

And I just said, "mom, dad...

And I knew if I could find such an act,

And I pulled Mr. Crawfish out of his hole

And I said this really calmly, I said, "listen, okay?

And I said, "neighbors shouldn't speak like that."

And I told him I have to look Priscilla in the eye,

And I was the hero of the comic book.

And I was thinking, Vernon Presley:

And I will do what needs to be done.

And I will work and I will worry.

And I will work, and I will worry.

And I'm Elvis Presley. That's what I do.

And I'm gonna fly away.

And I'm just the devil with love to spare, so

And I'm sure she would love to have

And if they don't like it, I can go someplace else.

And if they don't like it, you go someplace else.

And in between that, you're a ghost.

And introducing baby Lisa Marie.

And it's a light hearted, sophisticated family show.

And just as self deceptive to conclude from this act

And knick knacks, and called it...

And Las Vegas.

And Lisa is your daughter. She needs a father.

And move on to even greener pastures.

And my way of thinking,

And Natalie wood riding around on that bike in Memphis,

And nobody's gonna remember me.

And now he wants to take the home

And now it is time for us to pack up our tents

And now she's gone and who does he have now?

And now this, and all you can think about is how many

And now, here's Elvis!

And now...

And nowhere more so than at the club handy.

And of course, he got distracted.

And of course, that other guy.

And put it in the movies.

And put it on all sorts of toys

And right next to him,

And shocked the conscience of the court.

And sing with us, Mr. Presley?

And sit for hours.

And sleeps on the wind.

And talking back

And taller.

And tell 'em that he has abducted me,

And that first record changed everything.

And that is the point.

And that one other man was involved.

And the colonel's got me wearing tails,

And the costs cut into the artist's profits.

And the desk clerk's dressed in black

And the fans loved it.

And the fans need to believe that you are always available.

And the honeymoon on frank Sinatra's jet.

And the someplace else you should be going is overseas.

And then calling home to your loved ones,

And then he said to me...

And then off you go,

And then she said...

And then they didn't really know what to say after that,

And then they were going on and on about that photo of you

And then tomorrow we go back to Memphis and

And then we go international?

And there's no audience.

And these goddamn pills those leeches

And they don't pay unless I can perform.

And they're all livin' the devil may care

And this act of violence.

And time can do so much

And watch Godzilla tonight?

And we can do what we did before

And we can't build our dreams

And we can't build our dreams

And we hear your boy's working with new people.

And we put this whole unfortunate misstep behind us.

And we've found your records.

And what is the boy that...

And what will we do, Charlie?

And when it's done, you get on the plane...

And when you're lost, people take advantage.

And while I can think while I can talk

And while I can think, while I can talk

And who are you, Elvis?

And wishes everyone,

And with them hillbillies around him,

And yet, there are some

And you ain't no friend of mine

And you get more lonely with each passing day

And you have broken the segregation laws.

And you just play here for six weeks,

And you will be...

And you'll be even warmer this season

And your daughter loves you.

And your dedication. [Emotional laugh]

And, daddy, I know that you ain't no real cool cat

And, daddy...

And, I wish you would not drink so goddamn much.

And, uh... "Whose child is this?"

And... [gasps] And then what I said...

Another little baby child is born

Answer's gonna come somehow

Any more than they struck down

Any way you do

Anyway you choose

Anyway you do, that's all right

Apparently, it was a heart attack.

Are causing a lot of excitement

Are very excited about this next act!

Are we too blind to see?

Are you

Are you lonesome tonight?

Are you lonesome tonight?

Are you lonesome tonight?

Are you ready to fly?

Are you still mine?

Around your hotel all night long.

As a free rock concert at the altamont speedway

As an orphan, I ran away to the carnival,

As far as business is concerned...

As his attraction.

As long as that boy stays on that stage.

As long as you do one smart one.

As long as you don't so much as wiggle a finger.

As teens turn their attention to the teenage rockers.

As the good lord warns us,

As the new family style,

As the snow flies

As there is no wiggling of those hips.

As your former technical advisor

At heartbreak hotel

At singer sewing machines to come back tomorrow

At the russwood park gig tomorrow?

At the top of the Ferris wheel,

Away from all of this.

B.b. King.

Ba da bom! Ba da bom!

Baby, baby, baby

Baby, baby, baby

Baby, baby, baby

Baby, baby, baby

Baby, come back, baby, come

Baby!

Balloons, $50...

Barbra... the colonel...

Beale street style.

Because I love you too much

Because I love you too much

Because I love you too much

Because I love you too much, baby

Because I love you too much, baby

Because I will no longer be the promoter of your career.

Because I'm evil

Because I'm evil

Because if you don't do that...

Because of his color or his beliefs...

Because this guy, he's got girls all over the world, okay?

Because you came through like you always do.

Because you can fill up this entire stage

Because, oh, it's definitely going to snow.

Before anyone knows.

Before shipping off to Germany.

Before we have to make things...

Behold, tomorrow, all of america

Best not happen when he sings one of my songs.

Best shape of your life.

Between that lawlessness and hatred

Big red.

Bindle...

Black snake crawlin' in my room

Black snake crawlin' in my room

Black snake crawling in my room Hallelujah, by and by

Blue, blue blue suede shoes

Blue, blue, blue suede shoes baby

Blue, blue, blue suede shoes yeah

Blue, blue, blue suede shoes yeah

Boy, you don't know what she do to me

Boys...

Bring up the lights on the sign.

Broadcasting live to 26 of these United States.

Broke down, beat up.

Brought to you by

Burdened.

Burnin' love

Business manager.

But a carnival act that would get you

But as for the security at Graceland...

But as long as a man has the strength to dream

But as long as a man has the strength to dream

But at the end of the show, there will be a Christmas song.

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes

But Elvis was a young man,

But he is overwhelmed.

But I am flying away.

But I believe I can be great, too.

But I cannot help but think,

But I cannot keep up with these young fellas,

But I could see in that girl's eyes,

But I do.

But I hear rumors that colonel is an alien.

But I know some of the young people

But I never ran

But I owe it to him to tell him to his face.

But I saw it in that girl's eyes.

But I still kept my promise. I brought the world to him.

But I think you may be lonely, too.

But I'm thinking about cuttin' it up with "hound dog."

But if you do choose to leave...

But if you're gonna start a rumble

But in the end, you gotta listen to yourself.

But in the meantime, here in america,

But it didn't sell.

But it has nothing to do with us.

But lay off of my blue suede shoes

But me, I've always wanted to fly. Fast.

But my boy knew teenagers.

But poor thing's still shaking like a leaf.

But she's the girl that I love best

But some people were putting ideas into his head

But stay off of my blue suede shoes

But the death threats were real.

But the special was my idea. It was a tremendous hit.

But there's a lot goin' down on beale street tonight,

But they do.

But this ain't no nostalgia show.

But to achieve this, I need to represent you exclusively.

But we are going to start with "here comes Santa claus,"

But we could be even greater together.

But we hear hulett has him doing a world tour.

But what about a star is born?

But with a country flavor.

But you alone Rose above it all, and it worked with your talent,

But you didn't want to see him in movies where he didn't sing.

But you listen to me.

But you're a famous white boy.

But, we still have "here comes Santa claus"!

But...

By a fireplace for an hour.

By colonel Parker was excessive,

By English band the rolling stones,

By the strength and mighty power of my love

Called "that's all right, little mama."

Calling home to your loved ones, pretending nothing has changed,

Can be driven to the level of the n****.

Can I watch the memorial with you?

Can sing the "hound dog,"

Can watch and enjoy, and we always do.

Can we close down the movie house

Can you bring up two?

Can you do it, colonel?

Can you make a note that that should be in the special?

Can you talk to him?

Can't believe it. Blow their socks off.

Captain marvel, Jr.

Cats buy your records because they like what you do,

Caught in a trap

Caught in a trap

Caught in a trap I can't walk out

Caught in a trap I can't walk out

Colonel always has his reasons.

Colonel doesn't want you making a fuss.

Colonel has got us all of this.

Colonel Parker, sir.

Colonel Parker. Hit me.

Colonel says I'm running out of states that I'm welcome in.

Colonel says if I don't, they're gonna put me in jail.

Colonel, I gotta... I'll talk him down.

Colonel, I know when I've excited an audience.

Colonel, I wasn't fooling when I told those other kids

Colonel, I...

Colonel, you put an end to your boy's animal behavior,

Colonel, your sideshow is the jackpot.

Colonel...

Colonel's a smart man. There's gotta be another reason.

Colonel's promised me that when I get back

Country DJs, too.

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question

Deep in my heart, there's a trembling question

Deprives our country of a part of itself.

Did not strike down Robert Kennedy last night,

Digging the finest little five piece group

Do anything that you want to do

Do it again.

Do it to me, come on. Take us home.

Do not trust your own goddamn cleverness!

Do not wear yourself out to get rich.

Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way

Do you gaze at your doorstep

Do you remember the last time that the three of us

Do you still love me?

Dodger!

Don't doubt that, we're not going anywhere.

Don't mess around with me

Don't tiptoe, stomp my ground

Don't tramp mud in the house, Billy!

Don't you "Mr. Presley" me, you toad.

Don't you try it on alone

Down in Louisiana

Dr. King said rock and roll music

Dr. King was shot eight miles from Graceland

Dr. King was standing on the balcony

Dr. King.

Drag it all around

Dressed in black leather,

Drink my liquor from an old fruit jar

Earth.

Elvis has left the building.

Elvis is gonna walk onto this stage and perform just for you.

Elvis is here.

Elvis Presley died today. He was 42.

Elvis Presley has apparently checked in to a private suite,

Elvis Presley has popped out of nowhere.

Elvis Presley is in talks to play opposite Barbra Streisand

Elvis Presley, "hound dog," and uncle miltie.

Elvis Presley!

Elvis Presley's wonderful world of Christmas.

Elvis wants to take the tour overseas.

Elvis will be humoring him by doing a few of his fresh ideas.

Elvis, uh...

Elvis, you've upset your mama.

Elvis!

Elvis! Elvis, come on! Elvis!

Elvis. Come on, you gotta get on in.

Empty their wallets and leave them

Ended with four deaths.

Engine still runnin'

Even as a little one, he made me laugh so.

Even from himself.

Even its common decency.

Even kill me, 'cause of the way I was moving.

Even the colored kids, they're buyin' his record.

Even Vernon.

Eventually, he lost interest in going overseas.

Every day

Every day

Every day are so strange

Every day oh, ain't that strange, every day

Every day people are stealing the planes

Every day, yes

Every man has his price.

Everybody in the whole cell block

Everybody's talkin' 'bout this new Presley kid

Everyone else you associate with lives from you, Mr. Presley.

Everything I've ever known about you has been a lie.

Everywhere he goes, he causes riots,

Evil

Evil

Except in the service.

Exclusively? Sir, I... I don't follow.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Bill, go time!

Falling in love

Falling in love with you

Falling in love with you?

Faster than the speed of light to the rock of eternity.

Feels as though lots of things are like that these days.

Fifteen times!

Find yourself down around mobile

First thing you do is go home.

Fitting into them white housing projects.

Flames are coming out of that guitar.

Flames, man!

Folks are real excited.

For "here comes Santa claus."

For a million bucks for one night.

For an attraction as tremendous as Mr. Presley...

For an international tour,

For every nickel they had

For Hank when he arrives.

For I... for I... I can't help

For Lisa?

For the highest price in music history.

For the same god that made you made him, too

For white folks in a colored neighborhood.

For you to play stadiums.

From an album called unchained melody.

From no kind of man

From the home of colorful, old beale street.

From this moment on, anything she would have done...

Fuck the international.

Gasoline for the first trip to the hayride...

Gentlemen, take your seats.

Germany and Japan,

Get a chance to appear on the Louisiana hayride.

Get a haircut, fairy!

Get dressed like the whole world watchin'

Get him out of here!

Get him! Get him in here! E.P.! E.P.!

Get his gun!

Get in the car!

Get my boy off that stage!

Get off of me! Mama, you get in the car!

Get out! Get out of my goddamn house!

Get ready for the spotlight.

Gets up on that stage tonight.

Getting a laugh out of putting a hillbilly in a tailcoat

Getting all the girls hyped up,

Girl, girl, girl you're gonna set me on fire

Girls goin' wild, too cray

Give him a warm hayride welcome to a Mr. Elvis Presley.

Glory, glory, hallelujah

Go look after the merchandise. Look after the merchandise!

Go on stage with that boy.

God bless gotta leave 'em shooken

God damn it, mama, it was either that or I get canceled.

God damn it.

God speed your love

God, I just hope to one day be as good as him, you know?

Goddamn sweaters I can sell?

Goddamn, I'm in the best shape of my life.

Gonna set my soul on fire

Good thing die

Good. Good, my boy.

Gospel or rhythm and blues.

Got a girl named Daisy

Got a girl named Daisy

Got a song out on the sun label. It's all over the radio.

Got here on my rocket ship.

Got to be birds flying higher

Gotta let 'em know we're comin'

Gotta take the colonel back.

Grandma dodger, what is that behind your ear?

Guess who's leading that five piece band

Had great costumes and a unique trick,

Hah!

Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!

Hank wants you off the tour.

Hank. Yes...

Has been bitterly criticized...

Has been shot to death in Memphis, Tennessee.

Has come true a hundred times.

Has looked after himself before he's looked after you.

Has the world gone mad?

Have a good night.

Have to make a statement, e.P.

Have we discussed with Mr. Hulett,

He always spoke the truth.

He and I are done.

He buys a gun, steals a car

He can redeem his soul and fly

He can redeem his soul and fly

He can use those forces...

He could barely stand up.

He could've given us some warning.

He doesn't exist.

He don't boss me around.

He flies.

He had beale street stars in his eyes.

He had no idea what he had done to both of us.

He is replacing you with one of the country's greatest singers.

He makes all those race records with the colored singers.

He might have to put it out there that...

He needed to find a new singer for his country act.

He needs your help out there.

He said "now don't you worry we're in the lord's hands"

He sent me here to fire you.

He sings "here comes Santa claus"

He takes 50% of everything that I make!

He takes everything from me.

He trusted her like nobody else,

He trusts you. [Shaky exhale]

He turned to them pills.

He wants to look at us now. He loves this.

He was a taste of forbidden fruit.

He was addicted to the love he felt from you onstage.

He was found in his home in Memphis...

He was my destiny.

He was runnin' from the day he was born.

He was unique and irreplaceable.

He worked Elvis like a mule,

He'll do six months' basic training at fort Chaffee

He'll mention the vips that are here.

He'll say one, two, three

He'll take you by the hand

He's a young singer from Memphis, Tennessee.

He's all right, come on.

He's breaking hearts all over the south.

He's gonna set me up in Hollywood to be a serious actor.

He's got girls waiting outside of his house

He's got no citizenship, no official identity.

He's in the hospital. It's the right thing to do.

He's just really lonely. And quite frankly, so am I."

He's my favorite comic book hero.

He's not in the swe... he's not even wearing the sweater.

He's so funny!

He's white?

He's white?

He's working on a new song. He says he's singing it.

He's...

Heart attack? Colonel, you said your back...

Heartbreak hotel

Hello.

How many snow jobs I came up with,

How much snow I made them.

How you gonna blow their wigs off?

How you like it so far?

Huh, huh, huh, huh hah! Hah! Hah!

Huh?

Hulett here has got it all lined up.

Hulett's security is not what it needs to be.

Hurt him? Looks like they wanna...

I admit it. I was wrong.

I ain't ever gonna let us get back to a place again

I ain't gonna disappoint those fans.

I ain't gonna let these sons of bitches push me off the stage.

I am a promoter. That is what I do.

I am gonna go see him in Vegas.

I am not taking him back!

I am not taking him back.

I am of the firm opinion

I am the legendary colonel Tom Parker.

I am you. And you are me.

I am your wife. I am your wife!

I can handle every aspect of security.

I can no longer, in good conscience,

I can't figure it out. My own mother approves of what I do.

I can't get him to do anything.

I can't get out

I can't move in one of these.

I can't wait to show the world what you and I can do.

I can't walk out

I can't walk out

I can't walk out

I cannot overstate how strange he looked.

I could create the greatest...

I did not consider

I do not know what is going on.

I don't even go out, mama. I stay in.

I don't feel I'm doing anything wrong.

I don't give a damn what the colonel thinks.

I don't have a girl.

I don't know how to explain it.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

I don't know what it is you see in this boy.

I don't know what to tell you, son, we're broke!

I don't need no pink Cadillac.

I don't take no orders

I don't want all this! You're unhappy!

I don't watch television.

I gift you my life, and I have nothing left in me to give you.

I got a feelin' in my body

I got a feelin' in my body this will be our lucky day

I got a... I got a feelin' in my body

I got that. Ronnie.

I guess that's your new manager over there, hmm?

I have no idea, man.

I have no idea, man.

I have some good news.

I have to go.

I have to go. Okay? If I stay, I'll never leave.

I hear n**** rhythms.

I invented the world's first ever satellite concert.

I just opened the door to our destiny.

I just think he's different.

I just want to say that...

I just... Gotta lay off the moves, is all.

I knew a fella once, got his record on the radio.

I know how to do a skit, I could've made it funny!

I know so.

I know your love's not real

I know, but we have a way to help Sam understand

I know.

I learned very early in life that...

I like that.

I like the bit with the dog.

I love you.

I love you.

I made Elvis Presley.

I made him the highest paid actor in Hollywood history.

I mean, why the colonel would turn that down,

I need you fellas to help me get back to who I really am.

I need your love

I need your love, ooh

I need your love, ooh

I never did anything lasting.

I never made that classic film that I could be proud of.

I ought a shoot you in your fat, goddamn face!

I partnered with one of its biggest stars, Hank snow.

I promise, I'll put my heart in...

I promise.

I promise. I promise, I promise.

I put my back out.

I really like what you guys did,

I said shake, rattle and roll

I said shake, rattle and roll I said shake, rattle and roll

I saw him sing for the very last time.

I saw movies and I was the hero in the movie.

I see no reason why not.

I see upon the stage?

I should never have worried,

I sure as hell ain't somebody who sings Christmas songs

I tell ya, if I was you,

I think we need to go our separate ways.

I thought I'd grab him a Pepsi,

I took his name and face,

I used to hear her sing at east street church.

I wanna try and fix this. You know...

I wanna try and...

I want things to go back to the way they were.

I wanted to tell you in person.

I was a dreamer. I read comic books

I was born standing up

I was gonna buy 'em a Cadillac one day.

I was just a boy from hunting ton, West Virginia.

I watched that skinny boy in the pink suit

I will carry out, in her name.

I will have done everything I can

I will have to leave you.

I will miss the circus. I will.

I will see you in the morning, Mr. Presley.

I wonder if your daddy would not like the sound of that.

I worry that the financial risk

I would book him for a hundred years.

I would love to record that.

I, uh... I wanna try something new.

I... I saw you. Apart from all the others.

I'd ever seen.

I'd like that very much, son.

I'd like to go to Europe. I'd like to go to Japan.

I'd like to introduce to you a couple of people tonight,

I'd like to turn the house lights up,

I'll be coming home

I'll be so lonely

I'll be so lonely I could die

I'll dry the tears from your eyes

I'll feel it.

I'll fix you with some food and drink.

I'll fly away

I'll fly away

I'll fly away

I'll get back to that.

I'll get him on the stage. Come on. Let's go.

I'll make it worth your while.

I'll rip his goddamn tongue out by the roots.

I'm all out of dreams.

I'm evil

I'm evil

I'm evil

I'm evil evil, evil as can be

I'm evil, evil evil as can be

I'm going back on. [Panting]

I'm gonna be 40 soon, 'cilla.

I'm gonna get on my jet plane, the Lisa Marie...

I'm gonna look him in the eyes, and I'm gonna tell him...

I'm gonna show you what the real Elvis is like tonight!

I'm just a hunk a hunk of burning love

I'm just a hunk a hunk of burning love

I'm leaving you, and I'm taking Lisa with me.

I'm no trickster.

I'm not an uncaring man, Mr. Presley.

I'm not at Liberty to divulge

I'm not fearful of it being over, booby.

I'm only made out

I'm so tired of playing Elvis Presley.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it up there, man.

I'm sorry, sir. I... I meant I don't know the way out.

I'm sure it won't.

I've been asking her stories about...

I've been experimenting with a new, big sound.

I've been lost.

I've hungered for your kiss

I've hungered for your touch

I've made no decision.

I've never been out of the country,

I've never looked for trouble

Ice is now being, uh, brought...

If he was my son, I'd put him in a hospital.

If I can dream of a warmer sun

If I can't help

If it ever does land, even but one time...

If the boy wants to set out on his own,

If this is necessary, under the police powers of that state...

If we can book "the funniest mouth in the south,"

If you are so determined to get out of our contract...

If you do, you'll make a whole lot more money

If you don't like it, you can go back to Memphis.

If you dream it, you can do it, baby.

If you want to book more dates, we could do an American tour,

If you're happy and you want to be happy, guess what?

If you're looking for trouble

If you're looking for trouble

If you're sad and you want to be sad,

In a 12 Gauge cable knit woolen sweater...

In a remake of a star is born.

In a room this size,

In a sky more blue

In Baton Rouge, we are going to have a carny wedding

In cotton candy land

In downtown Memphis, Tennessee...

In mind of that, I have taken the Liberty

In my way of thinking, "I love Elvis,"

In New Orleans earlier today to mourn the passing

In New Orleans, we're gonna use the loudspeaker

In no poverty ever again.

In our newest act, Elvis Presley.

In senator Kennedy's brain.

In shreveport?

In the ghetto

In the ghetto

In the ghetto

In the ghetto

In the ghetto

In the name of Elvis Presley enterprises.

Including Teddy bear, perfume, plaster busts...

Is "here comes Santa claus" next?

Is another hungry mouth to feed

Is going to cough up what it owes.

Is gonna come between us.

Is Mr. Allen gonna cancel me from the show?

Is my so called manager, colonel Tom Parker.

Is obviously a means by which the white man and his children

Is that a pair of young ladies' intimates

Is that right? You want to be a dramatic actor.

Is that that man gets up on that stage tonight.

Is that you, doll?

Is the aluminum foil that covers his windows to deflect the sun.

Is this about what happens on the road?

Is this the best we can do, admiral?

Is your heart filled with pain?

Is your heart filled with pain?

Isn't that right, Mr. Bindle?

It ain't like your ol' big b.B. King bus.

It ain't never enough.

It goes something like this.

It goes...

It has everything to do with us.

It is either the army or jail.

It is forever just beyond our reach.

It lives its whole life on the wing.

It needs a voice right now to help it heal.

It only takes three days to tape,

It takes a lot of time, a lot of experience.

It was all over in a flash.

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

It was Elvis the showman and the colonel the snowman.

It was love.

It was the most embarrassing performance of my life, daddy.

It would be just as wrong

It would be self deceptive

It'll settle your stomach.

It's a real honor for us to be...

It's a wonderful place.

It's about this, Elvis.

It's all been arranged.

It's all right by me, but Presley enterprises

It's all right.

It's as though he has the strength

It's been a long time, baby.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Yes!

It's called "suspicious minds."

It's down at the end of lonely street at...

It's god given.

It's his idea, this new Elvis?

It's in the toilet, Elvis.

It's just business. Show business.

It's just that, Mr. Presley, we don't usually...

It's like daddy says, this could all be over in a flash.

It's like the trick you do with the wiggling,

It's lost. You know? It...

It's named after my, uh... My beautiful daughter.

It's not good for you.

It's not my place...

It's pretty familiar territory, right?

It's so lonely just sitting and dreaming of...

It's something beyond us, but I know that whatever it is,

It's something that can come between us.

It's something that...

It's that boy from Memphis.

It's that swinging little guitar man

It's time for "here comes Santa claus." I said so. Now!

It's time to settle up,

It's where I learned the art of the snow job.

It's working.

Jesse's with us tonight, baby.

Jiggling and wiggling with Billy ward, and here,

Just fine, how you, sir?

Just like I'm doing it now, man, more years than I know.

Just look right in my face

Just put your arms around me real tight

Just sing the nice song. Smile the nice smile.

Just stay there, woman

Keep playing.

Kids all over town are playing it everywhere I go.

Ladies and gentlemen, here's Elvis Presley!

Laugh it up, assholes.

Layin' down her newest hit.

Leave it layin' along the way

Leave it layin' along the way

Let it all hang out, e.P.!

Let it all hang out.

Let it come true right now

Let it come true right now

Let them cut your hair.

Let's don't let a good thing die

Let's go, let's go, people! First positions!

Let's go!

Let's go.

Let's rock all right, everybody, let's rock

Let's rock!

Let's see it on your faces as well.

Let's up the octave!

Lied to you

Life on the road ain't the concern of folks back home.

Like a goddamn slave in a salt mine,

Like you don't know how to get out of this.

Like you saw back when you was working at the hospital.

Like your Mr. Hulett,

Liked to hang out on beale street, I do not know.

Listen to me, daddy.

Listen, I don't get it, man.

Listen, Jerry, I don't need you to question me

Lived a girl that I swear to the world

Lonely rivers cry wait for me wait for me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea to the sea

Look at what you made

Lord almighty I feel my temperature rising

Lord, have mercy

Lost.

Love.

Made on the new singer, home knitting apparatus.

Made right at home on the singer sewer sk155 home knitter.

Made the alligators look tame

Makes a lot of sense. Okay. [Light chuckle]

Mama, daddy is business manager. It's his job.

Mama, I'm just trying to take care of you and daddy.

Mama, it's gonna turn out so, so good.

Mama, it's only four days.

Mama, you ain't never happy.

Man, he sings the hell out of that song!

Man, I ain't wearing no tails.

Man, I just leave all that to the colonel.

Man, I used to dream of being a great actor like Jimmy Dean.

Man!

Mario lanza?

Marion and I just don't want to stand in your way, that's all.

Maybe I'll buy you one of them pink Cadillacs

Maybe it is time for me to retire.

Maybe we should call it the "Lisa Marie."

Maybe you should fly away, my boy.

Me

Me and Elvis, we was partners.

Metaphorically, you know. Get back to who you really are.

Mm.

Mmm hmm.

Mmm hmm. Yeah.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mountains of press and rivers of money.

Move, man!

Mr. Allen agreed only as long

Mr. Binder, Mr. Howe... Thanks for coming.

Mr. Bindle.

Mr. Elvis Presley,

Mr. International hotel himself.

Mr. Lansky, it's Milton berle.

Mr. Parker, Mr. Kohn would like to see you.

Mr. Presley does not make statements.

Mr. Schilling, what the devil is happening here?

Mrs. Presley is quite the homemaker, Priscilla is,

Mrs. Presley, your son has a unique gift.

Music that I love.

Music that makes me happy.

Must be some occasion.

My boy knows best.

My boy loved to spend.

My boy, with me, you will buy them two Cadillacs.

My boy, you performed that comeback special

My brain is flaming I don't know which way to go

My daddy was a green eyed mountain Jack

My darling

My dear boy, this brainchild came from you and me,

My fellow citizens, we cannot,

My heart just stopped is all, and I fell. It's...

My love, my darling

My manager of many years, colonel Sanders.

My middle name is misery

My middle name is misery

My plan, Elvis Presley would return

My wiggling boy.

Needs a major drawing card

Never know how much I care

Never know how much I love you

Never met anyone like you.

Never thought I'd travel all alone

New song? Whoa, hey!

No matter what I do, no matter how much I give you,

No matter where he starts

No more pain, I'll fly

No one could never replace her.

No passport, no residency.

No report yet as to how that operation...

No wiggling.

No, I didn't take my boy away from nothin'.

No, I just do not think

No, it would cost.

No, no, I didn't kill him.

No, no, no...

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

No, you will be sued for breach of contract,

No!

No! That's not true.

No.

No. He's with the spirit!

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

No. I'll tell you what killed him.

No. I'm ready.

No. There's no way my baby's going to Germany for two years.

Nobody can sell "show" to an audience like you.

Nobody on the aerio.

None of those lewd gyrations or sudden, jerky movements.

None.

Not because you're dressed up like some... like some Butler.

Nothing all those muckrakers said in their books was true.

Nothing less than Elvis Presley.

Nothing like it before, nothing like it since.

Now bring in the kung fu spectacular.

Now he's gonna ask the house lights to be brought up,

Now we will see "Elvis the family entertainer."

Now, baby

Now, baby come back, baby, come

Now, do you want to go into politics?

Now, I have convinced our friends

Now, just kidding.

Now, my daddy is a good man.

Now, that's a winter wonderland.

Now, that's all right

Now, when that sign lights up, what do you do?

Now, you can sing whatever songs

Now, you go and you stand by your papa.

Now, you listen to me. The only thing that matters...

Now... [laughs]

Of "here comes Santa claus" that was,

Of a United States air force officer.

Of course you gotta listen to the people that you love.

Of course, I will reserve the right to sell calendars,

Of Elvis Presley, has been rushed to valley hospital.

Of emptying a rube's wallet while leaving them with nothing

Of flesh, blood and bone

Of gospel legend, mahalia Jackson.

Of his second floor hotel room tonight,

Of making these contracts out

Of massive fraud and mis management.

Of our tremendous showman, Hank snow.

Of putting together your show.

Of questionable likeness.

Of the vitality, rebelliousness...

Of this here story.

Of two men inside of him.

Of violent men among us.

Of your racial integrity tour,

Oh, and as I recall,

Oh, away

Oh, baby oh, baby

Oh, baby, baby,

Oh, come on, colonel, quit snowin' me.

Oh, don't you know caught in a trap

Oh, Elvis.

Oh, god. I don't know who that was out there.

Oh, hell, mama, I...

Oh, let our love survive

Oh, let's do it

Oh, look, here they come.

Oh, lord. I knew you were the right guys for this job.

Oh, Mr. Diskin.

Oh, my boy, I should have come down to see you.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god. Senator Kennedy has been shot.

Oh, my love

Oh, no doubt.

Oh, no.

Oh, oh, for I... For I can't help

Oh, please let my dream

Oh, the... with the...

Oh, there are strange things happening

Oh, what you're doin' to me

Oh, when you don't believe a word I'm sayin'?

Oh, why won't that sun appear

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah. I get it.

Oh, yes, you are.

Oh, you bloodsucking, old vampire.

Oh, you see, my boy, the...

Oh, you're beautiful. Thank you.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Security.

Oh! There are strange things happening

Oh? Which one?

Oh.

Oh. My boy.

Oh...

Oh...

Ohh

Ohh... black snake crawlin' in my room

Okay, now let's segue straight into the whorehouse dancers. Go!

Okay, yeah. Let's go.

On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

On a tiny square, inside a studio,

On colored night at the Memphis fairgrounds.

On stage in Vegas or playing

On suspicious minds

On suspicious minds

On...

Once you're in the air, Dr. Nick will ensure your rest.

One dollar and 25 cents.

One must make truly great sacrifices.

One of the sk551 machines so she can knit Elvis's...

One of which being my beautiful wife, Priscilla.

One resulting from a stabbing, allegedly committed...

Ooh

Ooh hoo

Or Dr. Martin Luther King in April of this year.

Or else we will be sued.

Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

Or saw things through his eyes

Or shall we stay in show business?

Or stood and watched with helpless hands

Or we will.

Ordinary love just didn't compare.

Others, the pills.

Our friends at rca are not gonna be happy when they see this.

Our next four nights are sold out...

Out there in the dark

Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle

Outside the gates of Graceland...

Overseas? Have you thought about security, Jerry?

Pardon me if I'm sentimental

Pardon me if I'm sentimental when we say goodbye

Parker received as much as 50% of Elvis' income.

People, don't you understand

Permanently changed the face of American popular culture.

Personal information about Mr. Parker.

Pertaining to souvenir calendars, $100.

Pertaining to the death threats?

Picture me there?

Pictures and such?

Play it smart out there, yeah?

Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

Please let my dream

Please, lord, don't let 'em hurt my baby.

Polk salad Annie

Posters, flyers and programs, $100.

Precisely.

Precisely. Death threats!

President John F. Kennedy in 1963,

Pretending nothing has changed,

Priscilla, I want you to do something for me, will you?

Probing for the bullet that had lodged

Promise me.

Prove to the world that you are a clean cut, all American boy.

Provided he was paid pretty well.

Pulling on the rein

Put the pep back into your step.

Putting James brown and the stones together.

Quit knocking at my door, Scotty.

Quit snoopin' 'round my door

Quite the payday for sun records.

Rca?

Rca.

Ready to fly.

Recording contracts, television, even Hollywood.

Regular peas in a pod,

Relieving me of my finest threads.

Remember, ladies and gentlemen, this is television, not radio,

Right down Santa claus Lane

Right down Santa claus...

Right now

Right now

Right over there, the observatory...

Right under my nose... In Memphis.

Rock and roll music is basically, uh...

Roof over our head?

Rotten.

Said to nobody before...

Sam Phillips... discovered me.

Santa claus is bringing you a lawsuit!

Sat down and had dinner together?

Satnin knows.

Satnin, I just gotta be making

Sayin' they killed Elvis Presley.

Scotty and bill are right, Elvis.

Security, security! Security!

Security!

Security. Security, disk in!

See you soon!

Seem empty and bare?

Senator Kennedy's press secretary

Shall I come back again?

Shall I come back again?

Shall I come back...

Shall I stay?

Shall we play it for the 27th time?

She almost drives me crazy

She almost drives me crazy

She could never compete with the love he felt from you.

She could've eaten him alive.

She had feared losing her second son.

She knows how to love me yes, indeed

She rocks to the east she rocks to the west

She wasn't sure she should enjoy.

She wasn't the only one who said it.

She worried and drank...

She's been writing me about acting.

She's nice, you know.

Shining down his strength upon you.

Show...

Sing the music that I want.

Sing."

Singing "hound dog"?

Sister rosetta found this kid in the backwaters of Georgia.

Sit down!

Snoopin' at my door

Snowman strikes again.

So colonel says I play the charity concert tomorrow night,

So don't mess around

So don't you mess around with me

So don't you mess around with me

So every dream that I ever dreamed

So get those stakes up higher

So he starts to roam the streets at night

So help your brother along the way

So I keep singing a song.

So I want you to know, those New York people

So I went upstairs and I went to bed.

So I will have to leave Hank.

So it can't land on nothing.

So it dies.

So it's, um...

So just do me a favor...

So let's follow the plan. It's a good plan.

So slowly

So there can't be nothing wrong with it.

So they cut my hair,

So they will cover all of the costs

So to pay his bills,

So we made them faster and cheaper.

So what is the reason?

So what's it gonna be?

So when that goes up and you clap,

So when things are too dangerous to say... sing!

So would your father.

So, if an old friend I know shove it up your nose

So, in the lonely moments between shows,

So, zina, pick out your next husband.

So... what is Natalie wood like?

Sock a little polk salad

Some five to ten minutes later, the operation began.

Some over excited fans from Peru.

Some people wanted to put me in jail,

Some say it was me.

Somebody call the FBI

Someone greater.

Someone's got to think about keeping a roof over our heads.

Something so everyone can show their love.

Son, I know... I know, I...

Sorry, e.P. Your daddy won't come down.

Sounds like it won't be much of a stretch for him

Starring Priscilla...

Still be with me as friends.

Still I am sure that the answers

Still mine?

Still, I am sure that the answer's

Stops by to say hello

Straight razor totin' woman

Strange things are happening every day.

Strange things happening every day

Strong winds of promise

Such a fine show.

Suffering from exhaustion.

Summer kisses, winter tears

Summer kisses, winter tears

Sun records? That's Sam Phillips' label.

Sweating, mumbling incoherently to the audience

Take a hold of his thumb and break it if you have to!

Take a look at you and me

Take his magic hand

Take my hand

Take my whole... Whole life too

Take my... take my hand

Take the intro here.

Takin' bigger steps

Taking care of business.

Taking care of business.

Tell me why, oh, why,

Tell me, dear

Tell me, dear

Tell me, honestly...

Tell that son of a bitch...

Tell the colonel to send up Dr. Nick.

Tell the mayors of these towns that we need a police escort

Telling them when to clap for you.

Than even 15 years before.

Than that kid could ever dream of.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, baby. Thank you.

Thank you! Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Have a good night.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks to the dazzling performances

That a newsman was involved,

That doesn't have any legs?

That Dr. Nick's services are no longer required.

That family is the most important thing in the world.

That gave the audience feelings

That he didn't need me no more.

That he has locked me in this golden cage,

That is what my boy would expect.

That it would be foolish of him to hold you back.

That it's lost its balance,

That it's lost its sense of direction,

That killed my mother.

That new record that's on the sun label, eh?

That old bastard can sue if he wants,

That our country itself is sick,

That puts this delinquent on television.

That she was having feelings

That this nation is hurting.

That was not a real audience, my boy.

That was what she gave to me

That we bought for mama!

That we have never met.

That we laughed together?

That will blow away the doubt and fear

That you can go to rest.

That you owe to jamboree attractions.

That you sneak in through the side door?

That you'd get her home by 7:00.

That...

That's a nice ride you rode up in tonight.

That's all for the moment if that's all right with you

That's all I can do

That's all I have ever cared about.

That's all right

That's all right

That's all right

That's all right

That's all right for you

That's all right now, mama any way you do

That's all right now, mama any way you do

That's all right now, mama any way you do, yeah

That's all right now, mama anyway you do

That's all right now, mama anyway you do

That's all right that's all right

That's all right with you

That's all right, mama

That's all right, mama

That's all right, mama

That's all right, mama

That's all right, mama anyway you do

That's all right, mama anyway you do

That's all right, mama just any way you do

That's all right, mama that's all right for you

That's all right, mama that's all right with you

That's all right, mama that's all right with you

That's an easy sell.

That's gonna be coming,

That's gonna cover the payroll,

That's how we got this thing started in the first place.

That's one of the most childish expressions I've ever heard

That's really what I dream of.

That's right, even your own daddy

That's that boy whose record everybody's talkin' about.

That's the music that makes me happy.

That's the thing. He's white.

That's troubled with pain

That's troubled with pain

That's where they shot rebel without a cause.

That's why you have a meeting with the Duke of paducah tonight.

The answers gonna come somehow

The apostle of non violence in the civil rights movement,

The army could be a brand new start for all of us.

The band was jumping and the joint began to swing

The biggest in Las Vegas.

The boy and his mama had to take one of the houses

The boys will hustle you to the motorcade.

The brand new international hotel.

The child needs a helping hand

The colonel, he... He won't allow it.

The colonel's killing his greatest asset without a reason.

The colored ki... well, where would I find such an act?

The country music business.

The death threats?

The dressing room.

The girls? You think I give a shit about the girls

The greatest show on earth.

The ira blowing up england? Planes exploding in mid air?

The king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley!

The life on the road.

The mayor loved you on the Steve Allen show.

The money would just melt away.

The most dangerous thing of all.

The most famous man on the planet.

The most money, the most snow,

The most of this thing while I can.

The most stupid, embarrassing, humiliating thing I ever did.

The new Elvis Presley!

The new Elvis Presley!

The next Elvis Presley show did not cost you a red cent?

The obscenity and vulgarity of this rock and roll music

The only thing that matters is that that man

The only time you're happy is when you're on that stage.

The papers say that I shot my mother and smoke marijuana.

The place where the blues began in Memphis, Tennessee,

The prison band was there and they began to wail

The roar of the crowd. The life on the road.

The rolling stones onstage.

The same old domestic concert circuit,

The singer sewing machine company,

The singer spends weeks at a time in his bedroom,

The six man team of neurosurgeons

The trail of memories

The very first thing,

The what?

The whole of america'll be watching.

The world needs to hear you sing, Elvis.

The world will see this show.

Them doctors say it was his heart.

Them girls wanna see you wiggle.

Then everybody calms down and we get back on track.

Then I, for one, will be very lonely.

Then one night in desperation the young man breaks away

Then that's it for television.

Then we can get back to our show business.

There are a lot of people who want to see him in jail.

There are now three doctors back there caring for them.

There are some fine folks from the press waiting outside.

There are strange things happening every day

There are strange things happening every day

There are strange things happening every day

There is music in the air

There is nothing more important than security!

There is something else.

There must be peace and understanding sometime

There never was a colonel Tom Parker.

There was a sign flashing "applaud,"

There was no moon

There wasn't gonna be an international tour

There's a beckoning candle, yeah

There's a lot of people saying a lot of things.

There's a thousand pretty women waitin' out there

There's been a lot of talk about the new Elvis.

There's got to be another reason.

There's no more appetite for Presley pictures.

There's so many places I haven't been yet, you know.

These international tours are very, very expensive.

These men with broken hearts"

They don't mean nothing. Ain't that right, chief?

They may need a bit of convincing themselves.

They might put me in jail for walking across the street,

They put me in uniform and they sent me away.

They rushed the 39 year old n**** leader to a hospital,

They should get the colonel to book him on Steve Allen.

They were dancin'

They weren't sure they should enjoy.

They would love his moves.

They'll be so lonely

They'll be so lonely they could die

They'll be so lonely, baby

They're a hundred times more dangerous.

They're doing some cutting edge stuff.

They're gonna let me do what I want to do.

They're not gonna put you in jail.

They're the ones that put James brown,

They've already announced you on the radio.

This entire jamboree is an embarrassment.

This is colonel Tom Parker. I wish it to be known

This is the real king of rock and roll.

This one giving him his first worldwide hit.

This sign was beautiful then.

This tragedy...

This will be our lucky day

This will be our lucky day

This will be our lucky day

Those are our friends in the vice squad.

Those New York people were using you

Those teen sensations, the Jacksons,

Those who hate your son will do so

Threatening and killing popular entertainers.

Three to get ready now go, cat, go

Three to get ready now go, cat, go

Throwing his career away to sing spirituals

Time goes by

To accept the n****es.

To achieve truly great things,

To bar Elvis Presley from television.

To every television set in america.

To get back on track.

To get my reward

To heal.

To ignore the connection

To keep an eye on this vulgar, animalistic rock and roll bum.

To keep me here forever with you, ladies and gentlemen.

To maintain public order, and prevent crime and riots.

To make sure my mama and daddy never have to live

To make you the biggest actor in Hollywood.

To me

To Mr. Presley's dressing room, please.

To play the role of a washed up singer.

To poke fun at the whole south.

To prevent the racial integration of schools,

To pull in all the rubes and put it on the map.

To put you in jail.

To save the world by recording black music.

To save your doggone soul

To see our show, senator east land was holding

To spread africanized culture...

To support his own gambling addiction.

To talk about this act of yours.

To the jailhouse rock

To the open arms of the sea

To tour around the world

To...

Too many people are making too much money off of you

Too many people rely on me.

Tormented by his growing waistline.

Tragic.

Transform into a superhero.

Tremendous... Tremendous triumph.

Tries to run, but he don't get far

Trust me.

Truth about the rock of eternity...

Try not to move around so much during the takes.

Turn about. Turn about.

Turn around. Come on, through, through, through!

Tutti frutti, oh rooty

Tutti frutti, oh rooty

Tutti frutti, oh rooty tutti frutti, oh rooty

Tutti frutti, oh rooty tutti frutti, oh rooty

Tutti frutti, oh rooty, uh!

Tutti frutti, oh rooty, whoo!

Two or three instruments at the time.

Two?

Uh, 'cilla, is this about what happens on the road?

Uh, now would be a good time to get back into the car.

Uh, the Christmas specials come later in the show.

Uh...

Uh... [chuckles lightly]

Uh... well, I'd like to say how happy we are to be down here.

Um...

UN recouped promotional costs

Uncomfortable.

Up above my head

Up above my head

Up and down the Gulf of Mexico

Vernon, they are poking into your background.

Vernon?

Violence breeds violence,

Viva, Las Vegas

Vixen and blitzen and all the reindeer

Wait for me

Wanna bet? [Laughs]

Wanna play house!

Want to say goodbye to daddy?

Warden threw a party in the county jail

Was a good show?

Was an old, uh, rhythm and blues type song

Was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Was made roughly an hour and a half ago.

Was responsible for the death of Elvis Presley.

We are going to sing three spectacular Christmas songs

We are the same, you and I.

We are two odd, lonely children, reaching for eternity.

We booked the over ton park shell in Memphis.

We can't go on together

We can't go on together with suspicious minds

We did it. We did it!

We don't care about the money or anything else.

We don't have nothin' to be ashamed of!

We don't know this colonel from a nail in a wall.

We had a lot of fun!

We have supported each other. Because we shared a dream.

We have to say something.

We just must not tolerate the sway

We just want you to be happy.

We must not permit men that are filled with hate...

We need your help now.

We ought a stop talkin' about it and do somethin' about it

We put on a great show.

We should be making speeches about politics and religion.

We snow them on the July 4th children's charitable concert.

We still need to get a novelty act

We talk and we listen to music, okay? That's all."

We want peace!

We was back on top.

We was doing just fine before that man came along.

We were making so much snow, we did it again.

We will both have to make sacrifices.

We will need a record label with national distribution.

We'll be released from all our sorrow

We'll be released from all our sorrow

We'll double the police presence.

We'll have the greatest show of the season.

We're broke.

We're caught in a trap

We're going to make it snow. It will snow.

We're gonna do a song for you we got out on sun records.

We're gonna do something different.

We're gonna get a rehearsal going very shortly.

We're gonna lose Graceland.

We're just waiting on upstairs.

We're like a family,

We're lost in a cloud

We're lost in a cloud

We're musicians!

We're plain broke.

We're pretty set for the number tomorrow, right, e.P.?

We're ready on set.

We're taking the show to the world, colonel.

We're trapped in a world

We're trapped in a world

We're, uh... Big fans of yours, too.

We've always managed to keep a roof over our head, Vernon.

We've been poking into your background,

We've got some high rollers in here tonight.

We've got this bindle fella, number one hotshot director.

We've seen "Elvis the movie star."

We've seen "Elvis the rebel,"

Well you can burn my house steal my car

Well, before the army, we found no record of you at all.

What are they laughing about?

What are you going to pay me?

What are you lookin' at back there?

What are you talking about, colonel?

What can you do for him, Dr. Nick?

What did you have in mind?

What did you say?

What do you think, Tony? Huh?

What do you two do up there all night?"

What does that have to do with Christmas?

What has happened to law and order in this country?

What I had always known.

What I want is a husband.

What I'm talking about

What in god's sweet name am I looking at?

What song are you going to sing tonight?

What was that?

What were you thinking, jimmie?

What? No...

What? To the rock of eternity?

Whatever I have to do.

Whatever it takes, I guarantee it.

When everything has.

When everything has.

When I die

When I die hallelujah, by and by

When it gets tired, it just spreads its wings

When Moses walked the children out of Egypt land

When they said you was high classed

When we say goodbye

When you are overseas, I will stay here at home.

When you put your arms around me

When you teach that he is a lesser man

When you're 40 and I'm 50, we'll be back together.

When, according to a companion,

Where daddy gets in trouble with the law

Where do you boys think my career's at right now?

Where he died of a bullet wound in the neck.

Where hope keeps shining on everyone

Where I learned the art of the "snow job,"

Where I'll be I'll be so lonely, baby

Where is the colonel?

Where the alligators grow so mean

Where you see honest men and pickpockets skilled,

Where you see pretty browns dressed in beautiful gowns,

Whether we profit from it or not.

While he was in basic training...

While I can dream

While I can dream

While I can stand while I can walk

While I can stand, while I can walk

While I was out here singing to turtles.

While Mr. Hulett straightens out his security problems overseas.

While the heart inside you dies

Who are you?

Who the hell is that?

Who this fella here is,

Who wants to put together a new show

Who'd make me out to be the villain

Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo! Man, he's cuttin' it!

Whorehouse? No.

Why are you trying to kill my son?

Why can't you see

Why did you flee Holland, Andreas Van kuijk?

Why didn't he listen to me?

Why won't the colonel let him go overseas?

Why would you?

Why, b.B. King will be there. Perhaps even the rolling stones.

Will be for nothing.

Will be safe while he's away from home.

Will be talking about Elvis Presley.

Will you promise me, booby?

With a bunch of longhairs.

With all his heart and soul.

With all of his hippie friends.

With all the sparkle and magic that the season brings.

With every musical idea that is inside that head.

With lots going on this weekend.

With me

With no financial risk to Elvis Presley enterprises.

With nothing but the smiles on their faces.

With or without you.

With sister rosetta tharpe.

With suspicious minds

With the sale of the ranch and the horses,

With their residency at the mgm grand.

With too much rain

With too much rain

With you

Without a song, a man ain't got a friend,

Without a song, the road would never bend,

Without a song."

Without me, there would be no Elvis Presley.

Wop, bop a loo bop ba lop, bom, bom

Wop, bop a loo bop, ba lop, bom, bom

Wop, bop a loo bop...

Working with James Dean and...

Worried...

Would it be a sin

Would put a strain on your daddy.

Would you stand up, honey?

Y'all have to hear this.

Yeah, baby.

Yeah, Dixie, I'll be back before prom.

Yeah, four days. And then what?

Yeah, I read the papers.

Yeah, I snowed 'em!

Yeah. I'm gonna go talk to him, all right?

Yeah. Lost.

Yes, a conundrum. A conundrum.

Yes, he is.

Yes, he's coming

Yes, he's coming

Yes, I believe it is, Hank.

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

Yes, sir. I'm ready.

Yes.

Yes. I hate Elvis.

Yet, here he is with this b.B. King at club handy,

You actually think that you singing your old songs

You ain't no friend of mine

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, a hound dog

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, hound dog

You ain't retiring.

You and I are on the same page at last.

You and Mr. Bindle choose for 55 minutes,

You are beloved.

You are Elvis Presley.

You are fired!

You are fired!

You are not one of hulett's long hair zeppelins,

You are the best person I could ever hope to work with.

You bled me dry and you still want more?

You break it, you burn it

You came to the right place

You can catch b.B. King tonight at club handy,

You can't just let the lawyers take care of it.

You cannot tear it down

You comfort him.

You comfort him.

You could get lost in a place like this.

You could give them the greatest show on earth.

You do a week of shows in just one night.

You do the Allen show, family style,

You do your two years, and when you come back, I promise you

You do?

You don't do the business, the business will do you.

You don't have a goddamn passport, you son of a bitch!

You give my baby girl a big hug for me, okay?

You go where you want, you play where you want,

You got anything else to say, sir?

You gotta listen to me, sweetie,

You have also lived from me.

You have embarrassed the sponsors,

You have embarrassed yourself,

You have read the papers, my boy?

You have the fella that's singing the "all right, mama,"

You hear that, Jerry?

You just have to put on one of these tails here,

You know I need it

You know them, and their flashy headlines.

You know what he's like. The second that you're near him,

You know who told me that? B.B. King.

You know, a few weeks before he died,

You know, back when I was starting out,

You know, I heard last year alone, you had two offers.

You know, I think if you dream it, you'll do it.

You know, I'm gonna fly away.

You know, it gets lonesome.

You know, mama, I was thinkin',

You know, the Beatles and the byrds, but,

You know, this is something I ain't never

You know, you got the cars and the girls and the clothes,

You may have a pink Cadillac but don't you be nobody's fool

You never caught a rabbit you ain't no friend of mine

You phony, no good piece of trash!

You quit your job to go traveling

You really think those kids want to see Elvis the Butler

You see, my boy, show business is snow business.

You see, this here international hotel...

You should a heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

You should have your own label, like me.

You should use it.

You sneak through the side door.

You stay with me through thick and thin, okay?

You think so?

You told me you was high class but I could see through that...

You twist it and turn it

You understand me?

You were everything.

You were incredible. You were...

You were never a colonel. Never a Tom.

You were... you...

You weren't even a Parker.

You will choose your own pictures.

You will have to be free of any entanglements.

You won't even make love to me anymore.

You, his audience, his fans.

You...

You'll always be my bestest girl.

You'll be hearing from our lawyers.

You'll be under ten feet of snow before you know what's happened.

You'll have more security than the president.

You'll see.

You'll still have me working here

You're at the right place.

You're at the right place.

You're fired!

You're fired.

You're goddamn right I want out.

You're gonna get us in trouble.

You're great, colonel.

You're like a... Like a father to me.

You're losing yourself, booby!

You're my girl. My satnin.

You're not meant to get out of bed.

You're not out there on your own.

You're only really happy when you sing the music you love.

You're supposed to be taking care of business.

You've got to be in control, man.

You've got to get some roll. I got action on the right side.

You've lost control of this act of yours.

You've lost your meal ticket.

Young man, you tell them

Your daddy is doing the best he knows how,

Your face on every conceivable object,

Your future, Mr. Presley, blazing before you.

Your movement's in the style of a black man,
