Rock of Ages (2012) Edit

A little time to think things over

A loaded six string on my back

A Lord, then put me away

A man who blew off the halftime show at the Super Bowl...

A mother.

A singer in a smoky room

A year ago, people asked whose campaign...

Aah!

Actually, I told him the gig was last night, so technically he's a day late. Don't tell him.

Actually, my boyfriend wasn't really athletic.

Aerobics. I teach aerobics.

Aerosmith? Detroit?

Again.

Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time

Ain't never gonna stop No

All I gotta say to you Is time and time again

All night

All of my life I’ve been waitin' in the rain

All of you.

All right, fellas? Come on. Let's go.

All right! Well, now that that's over...

All right?

All the pain you've ever felt"

All we gotta do is mouth the words.

All you do is think

All your life, you have wanted to be number one.

Although we both lie close together

Am I missing anything?

And be a jukebox hero

And even as I wander

And here I go again on my own

And here I go again on my own

And I didn't even faint.

And I don't wanna go home

And I don't wanna go home

And I don't wanna go home

And I don't wanna go home

And I gave him his first million.

And I quit too!

And I swore in her honor...

And I'm telling you, I'm gonna get that reporter fired...

And I've made up my mind

And I've made up my mind

And I've rocked them all

And I’m gonna hold on For the rest of my days

And if Dennis Dupree can't pay by midnight, well....

And it don't get better than this

And it don't get better than this

And it goes on and on and on.

And it keeps me from going out...

And Joshy Z.

And let's reclaim the Strip for the God fearing citizens of Los Angeles!

And like a flaming dipshit you believed her, dumped your jock boyfriend...

And like a flaming dipshit you believed her, dumped your jock boyfriend...

And look. I'm a waitress.

And love left this place a long time ago.

And make sure that those head mikes are turned off.

And no one else can.

And no one else can.

And no results. Nothing.

And now a solo career. Why now?

And now I hear you've found

And other people's projections of what they want me to be.

And Sapphire.

And Stacee Jaxx thanks you.

And that I never meant That much to you

And that record was produced about eight years ago.

And that's because I have a secret weapon.

And the best darn wife any man could hope to have.

And the sparkle in your eyes

And these days, I’m scared for them.

And this time, every cent goes to the house.

And throw away the oars forever

And we'll be movin' on and singin' That same old song

And we're playing The Bourbon tonight.

And we're the ones who are gonna do it.

And when you're up there, you can have it....

And when you're up there, you're untouchable.

And who is your muse? Ahem.

And yet I’m still afraid to let it flow

And you know that you're the only one To say

And you're a pretty girl. You wanna make some real money, you gotta dance.

And your last hit single, "I’m gonna rock you in your mouth," it was written about her.

Another place

Any way

Any way

Any way you want it

Any way you want it

Any way you want it

Any way you want it

Any way you want it

Any way you want it

Any way you want it That's the way you need it

Any way you want it That's the way you need it

Any way you want it That's the way you need it

Any way you want it That's the way you need it

Any way you want it That's the way you need it

Any way you want it"

Any way you want it"

Anyway, how you holding up, baby?

Anyway. Awesome doing business with you, ciao!

Are you asking me out on a date?

Are you listening to me?

Are you messing with me right now?

Are you okay?

Are you serious?

Are you Stacee Jaxx?

Are you sure?

Are you talking about the fake person with the stepmother?

Arsenal? Oh, my God, I love Stacee Jaxx.

As long as I'm the hero

As long as you've got this manager keeping you on the road...

As you can see, this club is totally out of control.

Asshole!

Baby girl, I wanna still be

Baby, baby, baby.

Baby, put me underneath

Baby, we've been talking too much

Back to one, everyone!

Banzai.

Be yourself.

Because I am. There's no such thing as bad publicity.

Before I put another notch In my lipstick case

Bought a beat up six string

Break it up

Break it up

Break the bubble

Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Bring it to my dressing room?

Broken hearts and very, very long careers.

Built this city

Busy falling in love.

But always disappears

But here I go again

But here I go again

But I can guarantee you something much more rare...

But I knew for sure

But I sure know where I've been

But it's time to let you know

But it's time you got the news

But remember:

But right now I can't make ends meet

But that means our whole existence is riding on Stacee Jaxx.

But the biggest danger is the man who seems to be calling the shots...

But when it comes to raping...

But words for you are lies

But you seem to have this issue with Stacee Jaxx.

But, Mitch, this ends tonight.

By the backstage door

By the bottle that you drink

Bye. Oh. Ha ha.

C'mon

C'mon, fire me up

Call the PR department and tell them I need to buy all the advertising blocks...

Can I help you?

Can you please ask Hey Man to just chill for a second or two, man?

Can't stop now I’ve traveled so far

Can't wait to see the article.

Cheer up, mate. You still got the twisted sisters of piety outside...

Cognac, brandy.

Come crashing through your door

Come on up here, Patty cake!

Come on, Arsenal, let's go!

Come on, come on, come on, come on!

Come on, don't be like that. We'll do the next one together.

Come on, nobody cares about the opening act anyway.

Come on, son. Up you get!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on! Hit me with your best shot

Come on. She's practically got mike burns on her lips.

Come on. Stop fannying around.

Constance Sack.

Constance Sack. Rolling Stone.

Constance?

Cool.

Copy that. Everybody out.

Cowboys.

Crawlin' through your schools

Crisis averted.

CROWD Stacee! Stacee! Stacee!

Cryin' on the corner Waitin' in the rain

Dalai Lama.

Darlin', in my wildest dreams

Darlin', in my wildest dreams

Darlin', in your wildest dreams

Dead or alive

Dead or alive

Dead or alive

Dead or alive

Dennis, come on. What do you say?

Dennis, did you just sigh audibly? Why?

Dennis! Dennis!

Dennis. What's up, brother man?

Desire is coming, it breaks out loud

Did I hit a nerve?

Did my words not come out right?

Didn't know how to play it

Didn't know Paul spoke Italian.

Didn't take long

Do it a couple times. You'll be fine.

Do we trust him?

Do you dance?

Do you need a job? I could talk to Dennis Dupree, my boss.

Do you take sugar

Do you think that it's possible...

Does Dennis know?

Does he rap?

Doesn't anyone just wanna work in the bar industry anymore?

Don't be nervous.

Don't be so pessimistic. Stacee just put you guys back on the map!

Don't go in there, it's filth!

Don't know, Den.

Don't need nothin' but a good time

Don't rush

Don't stop believin

Don't stop believin'

Don't stop believin'

Don't stress, man. We'll work this out together.

Don't tell us you need us

Don't worry your pretty little head about Dennis. I’m saving his ass tonight.

Double the E, double the Z, double the flavor.

Double the E, double the Z, double the flavor.

Drew! Drew! Drew!

Drew! Oi, Drew!

Drew?

Drew? Hey, Drew, showtime.

Drew? That Drew? Our Drew?

Drew.

Drew.

Drew. What's the name of your band, mate?

Drew...

Drew....

Drool are very expensive.

Dropped out of Woodrow Wilson High in 11th grade.

Even the cockroaches got burned by the fallout, but not us.

Ever see Stacee again?

Every day it seems we're wastin' away

Every rose has its thorn

Every rose has its thorn

Every rose has its thorn

Everybody in.

Everybody wants a thrill

Everybody, listen up!

Excuse me, sunshine.

Fame.

Felt good in my hands

Final question.

Fine.

Fire away

Fire away

Fire away

Five minutes and go.

For a smile they can share the night

For a smile they can share the night

From my head My head to my feet

From the moment I wake up Till deep in the night

Gentlemen, I bring you your next star.

Get out.

Girl, you've been meant for this Since you were born

Give it a whirl, I suppose.

Go on!

Go to rehab!

Go, Drew!

Go! Go.

God forbid anyone hears your actual voices.

God hates rock 'n' roll!

God! That Stacee Jaxx.

Going down the only road I've ever known

Going down the only road I've ever known

Gotta get a break From the same old same old

Gotta get back to work.

Great, right?

Great. That's not gonna make me feel like I’m gonna get killed tonight.

Guys! Guys! We're opening up for Arsenal.

Ha ha ha. But screw it. Keep it. I get fussy about singles anyway.

Ha ha ha. Okay. That was funny.

Ha ha ha. That's right, Hey Man, rock will never die.

Ha ha. It's a joke. I'm kidding, man.

Ha ha. That's my man!

Had.

Hah!

Hand me the phone.

Hanging on the promises In the songs of yesterday

Harden your heart

Have these people even met themselves?

He can't go in there!

He gives until it hurts.

He took the midnight train Goin' anywhere

He wants the Strip, Patty cake, and we have to deliver.

He's fantastic. I'm looking at him right now. He's waving hello.

He's licking his lips, he's ready to win

He's like a machine that spews out three things:

Heh. I love it.

Hello?

Here I go again

Here I go again

Here I go Here I go

Here we go.

Here, hold this.

Here.

Here's to ya

Hey Man.

Hey Man.

Hey there.

Hey, boss, we found some hairs in the cocktail olives again.

Hey, boss.

Hey, girl.

Hey, hey!

Hey, look. It’s Stacee Jaxx.

Hey, Los Angeles!

Hey, man, have you seen Sherrie? Blon ?

Hey, put your hands together, Los Angeles, for the man who wrote this song...

Hey, Stacee, you made it.

Hey, Stacee. I got someone I'd like you to meet, man.

Hey, wait.

Hey, want to go celebrate? I'm coming up on my break.

Hey, you! Hey, policeman! You can't let him in there!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey.

Hey.

Hey. Come on, big fella. We can sort this out.

Hey. Paul Gill.

Hi.

High school sweetheart?

His advice:

His first solo gig. And I’ve got a new act that you are gonna love.

His tour bus left L.A., taking Stacee Jaxx with it.

Hit me with your best shot

Hit me with your best shot

Hit me with your best shot

Hit me with your best shot

Hmm?

Hold on

Hold on

Hold on to that feelin'

Hold on. Add a zero. Add three.

How about you? You singing?

How are you?

How bad is it?

How can I resist?

How I love the way you move

How much to make my pain go away?

How'd it feel?

Huh! Hey hey!

Huh! Hey!

Huh! Hey! Huh!

Huh?

Huh.

I ain't wasting no more time

I ain't wasting no more time

I ain't wasting no more time

I am on stage, Paul.

I am searching for the perfect song...

I beg your pardon.

I can still feel so much pain

I can wait tables. I'm good.

I can.

I can't believe that just happened.

I can't fight this feeling any longer

I can't get enough

I cannot believe that I'm working at The Bourbon.

I decided if I couldn't see Stacee Jaxx...

I didn't destroy anything, Paul. I took a stand.

I didn't know you had a twin.

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know where I’m going

I don't need a singer.

I don't need to be the king of the world

I don't need you.

I don't understand why we can't sing.

I don't want to do it, man.

I don't.

I gave up a long time ago trying make men respectable.

I got something for you. One of a kind. Ha ha.

I got the night on my side

I gotta go grab something for Stacee.

I have $17 to my name and I'm probably gonna be starving in the next 48 hours.

I have an adequately sized, uncircumcised penis.

I have had it up to here with your negativity, Joshy Z.

I just dance.

I just feel like I’ve let everyone down.

I just got mugged.

I just have to make it with someone I choose

I just wanna stare at your.... Shh

I know I could have saved our love That night

I know me better than anyone...

I know you can show me

I leave that to you. You're a musician, so it's important that you suffer.

I love her, man! Come on!

I love rock 'n' roll

I love rock 'n' roll

I love rock 'n' roll

I mean, it seems to be really intense.

I mean, of course, you're not really gonna burn the place down to the ground, right?

I mean, seriously...

I mean, that'd be crazy, right?

I need a chance just to get away

I need a job.

I need The Bourbon tonight. I will pack the place.

I need to go get ready. I have a big date tonight with Sherrie. Wish me luck.

I need to know if you feel it too

I need you to manage your expectations...

I never seem to find what I'm looking for

I never should've come to L.A.

I never thought I'd go

I only know it's a matter of time

I only wish I had the strength To let it show

I play for keeps

I said there is no reason for my fear

I said time. You can go now.

I said, "You can't hide On the inside

I said:

I saw Stacee Jaxx. Oh, my God. I'm so embarrassed. Oh, my Go

I saw you.

I say no Oh, no, no, no, no, no

I say no Oh, no, no, no, no, no

I shouldn't have thought so. That's all cleared up nicely, thank you very much.

I still drive

I swear I’ll never, ever wait again

I tell myself that I can't hold out forever

I think I got that part down.

I think this whole "Cleaning up the Strip" thing...

I told you 10,000 times. Girls drink free, dudes pay full freight.

I try to be.

I wanna ask you this:

I wanna feel it too

I wanna feel what love is

I wanna know what love is

I wanna know what love is

I wanna rock

I wanna rock

I wanna rock

I wanna rock!

I want my money back!

I want to rock

I want to rock

I want to rock

I want you to look funky fresh. But you have to not suck the next take.

I want you to show me

I was a douche. I get it. But listen close. I'm gonna make it up to you.

I was in love with you.

I was raised by my grandma.

I will get the whole town to come out for it.

I wish that the true part were falser.

I would never do that.

I would've killed to be at that concert. That record really changed my life.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

I....

I'd say men are pigs but that'd be totally unfair to pigs, so....

I'll get right back on my feet again

I'll talk to you Friday, babe, okay?

I'm a cowboy

I'm a cowboy

I'm a jukebox hero

I'm afraid it is, yes.

I'm always workin' Slavin' every day

I'm Drew.

I'm fine, I'm just a little...

I'm gonna call the press.

I'm gonna harden my heart

I'm gonna harden my heart

I'm gonna swallow my tears

I'm gonna swallow my tears

I'm gonna take a little time

I'm gonna turn and leave you

I'm gonna turn and leave you here

I'm gonna turn and leave you here

I'm great. Quitting The Bourbon was the best thing that could've happened.

I'm hot, sticky sweet

I'm in a boy band.

I'm just another heart in need of rescue

I'm keeping you in sight

I'm listening.

I'm not mad.

I'm so happy.

I'm sorry about the article.

I'm Stacee Jaxx's manager.

I'm Stacee.

I'm talentless, so suffering's wasted on me.

I'm telling you, it's Stacee Jaxx.

I'm telling you, this pop band shit is where everything is headed.

I'm telling you.

I'm tough.

I'm walking here! Whoo!

I'm wanted

I'm wanted

I'm wanted

I'm wanted

I'm your charity case So buy me something to eat

I'm your undercover love

I've been everywhere

I've been looking too hard I've been waiting too long

I've been waitin' for a girl like you

I've been waitin' for someone new

I've been waiting for a feeling That never, ever came

I've got nowhere left to hide

I've got to leave, it's time for the show

I’ve seen a million faces

If I can face it again

If I can face it again

If I could just draw your attention to the inside sleeve.

If I'd known what to say

If wantin' the good life is such a crime

If we cut off the head, the Strip will die.

If you could hear me think This is what I'd say

If you could hear me think This is what I'd say

In a heavy downpour

In a secondhand store

In case I need it when I'm older

In my case, that's Little Lonny.

In my life

In the name of love

In walks her daddy, Standin' six foot four

In your case, it might be something different.

Into our guitars?

Is all you'd have to do

Is it someone that is trying to really freak me out? Because it's working.

Is not the words I want to hear from you

Is that Drew?

Is that true?

It feels so close

It feels so right So warm and true

It goes on and on and on and on

It goes on and on and on and on

It just goes to show that sin doesn't sell anymore.

It seems history is no doubt about to be made again at The Bourbon Room tonight!

It was actually a bus...

It would be to show me how you feel

It would be. Yeah.

It's a pleasure to finally meet you.

It's all the same

It's Arsenal 1977 Live at The Bourbon. Great album, incidentally.

It's better this way. Less chance to screw up, right?

It's done all the time. Pretty soon everyone will do it.

It's early morning, the sun comes out

It's eternal.

It's great to see your face bone again.

It's love.

It's more more true...

It's more than a touch A word we say

It's not fame and fortune you came looking for, Sherrie.

It's not love.

It's not love.

It's not not true.

It's not right for everyone, honey.

It's not that I want you

It's okay. I’m sure girls faint around him all the time.

It's priceless.

It's so beautiful. I can't believe you wrote that.

It's time to bring this ship into the shore

It's time to go home.

It's time we wiped the filth off the streets of this great city.

It's true

It's what separates us from the beasts.

It's your lucky day. He's going solo.

Jenny Anderson. Your first love.

Jesus.

Just a small town girl

Just a small town girl

Just go up there and kill it. You're gonna be amazing. Go!

Just imagine yourself completely alone with something that you love.

Just like every cowboy Sings his sad, sad song

Just like every cowboy Sings his sad, sad song

Just like every night has its dawn

Just one more time

Just remember the moves, right? Remember the attitude.

Just trust me. You're working with top, classy talent here.

Just wait right here.

Just whatever you do, don't tell him you're a singer.

Knock me down It's all in vain

Know

L.A. really isn't working out for me.

Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to rock?

Ladies and gentlemen, Mayor Mike Whitmore.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Ladies and gentlemen...

Last night was shaking and pretty loud

Let her go.

Let me ask you something:

Let me tell you something.

Let's talk about love

Let's turn that frown the right way around.

Like a blue suburban sky

Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone

Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone

Like a knife that cuts you The wound heals

Like a trip through the past

Like I said:

Like I said:

Livin' in a lonely world

Livin' in a lonely world

Livin' in paradise

Livin' like a lover with a radar phone

Look, I'm sorry this happened. It sucks.

Look, so what if some...

Look, we have to find an opener in the next two hours.

Lookin' like a tramp Like a video vamp

Looks so good, bring a tear to your eye Sweet cherry pie

Love is like a bomb

Love is like a bomb, baby Come and get it on

Love that you feel inside

Man, back then, her husband, Mayor Whitmore...

Man, I adore her.

Mark. And play back.

Married to a woman who looks like she's been hibernating...

Maybe I'm wrong

Maybe you should help me practice.

Me and the ladies are going after all the church groups...

Me too.

Me, Joey Z.

Mitch, this is breaking news. I have in my hand an album.

Mm hm.

Mm, mm, ah, ah Oh

Mm.

Mm.

Mmm, lonely world

More days to come, new places to go

More like "had"?

More like "had"?

More than words

More than words

Mr. Whitmore. Call me.

My body is burning, It starts to shout

My cat is purring and scratches my skin

My grandfather's father built this city!

My rock.

My son ate the head of my neighbor's horse because of Stacee Jaxx.

My soul mate.

Names that end in Z are very popular with the 14 to 21 year olds.

No

No more bullshit. No more bullshit.

No, I don't think so. She's a singer.

No, I'm serious, you've gotta breathe. Like, takes away the nerves.

No, no, no.

No, no, no. No.

No, no, no. Not her.

No, no, no. Thank you.

No, no. I put him on the map.

No, she just came in from out of town.

No, wait.

No, we ain't gonna take it

No, you are not the Z Guyz either. You are the Z Guyeezz.

No!

No! I love you! I love you!

No.

No.

No.

No. When I’m done, we literally need to burn this place to the ground.

No...

Nobody puts Donkey in the corner!

Not a dime, I can't pay my rent

Not a whole lot really.

Not Drool. Drew.

Not everyone.

Not Joshy Z, nor the Z Guyz.

Not only the best mayor this city has ever had...

Not them.

Not to say, but if you only knew

Not you too, Hey Man.

Nothing. You're over thinking it.

Now go.

Now I know it's right

Now, hold on just a second.

Now, Patricia, this is the third night in a row that you've been here.

Now, you want love? Go after her.

Of breaking little hearts Like the one in me

Of breaking little hearts Like the one in me

Of course we are. Arsenal's last show.

Of course we will, sweetheart.

Of what you and all your readers want me to be.

Off the record?

Oh, and I ride

Oh, God!

Oh, God. Okay.

Oh, here I go

Oh, Hey Man.

Oh, I was just calling to check in and see if we're still on for Friday.

Oh, I’m gonna harden my heart

Oh, like a candle

Oh, like, now. Okay.

Oh, Lord, I pray You give me strength to carry on

Oh, my God, I just threw up.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Oh, okay, now, if I may.

Oh, rock is over, pal.

Oh, she said, "Any way you want it That's the way you need it

Oh, that? Don't sweat him. That's just my ex, Donny.

Oh, trust me...

Oh, uh.... This is kind of my new look...

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah.

Oh! Nice of you to show.

Oh. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I’m so sorry.

Oh. Thank you.

Oh. Uh....

Okay

Okay, deal.

Okay, fine. You're hired.

Okay, great interview. I hope you got everything.

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, uh....

Okay, well, I should probably check into my motel and grab my stuff, so....

Okay, well, you know, that could also mean that I’m real slick.

Okay, yes, I’ll be clearer about that.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Stacee Jaxx, back at The Bourbon

Okay. Total optimist.

Okay. Well, can you at least look at me?

Okay. You start tomorrow.

On a cold, dark winter's night

On a steel horse I ride

On a steel horse I ride

On the phone?

One hundred and fifty years old.

One lump or two

One night she was partying innocently at The Bourbon Room...

One of these days, my name's gonna be up there.

Only one way to go

Only the names will change

Ooh In the name of love

Ooh, ahh, ahh

Open your mouth.

Or they run a club, live the rock 'n' roll dream...

Otherwise the fire phoenix gets trapped.

Ow!

Oye, Dennis told me to tell you to come in early tomorrow.

Paradise
