Hey, man! You got a room? You asshole! I'm goin' down to Mardi Gras I'm gonna get me a Mardi Gras queen Oh, man. Wow, Mardi Gras, man. That's gonna be the weirdest, man. You know what we ought to do first thing, man? Go and get us a groovy dinner. Break out some of that cash, man. Out here in the wilderness, fighting Indians and cowboys on every side. What's the matter? You zonked? You really zoaned? No, I'm just kinda tired, man. Oh, man, you're pulling inside. You're getting a little distance tonight. You're getting a little distance, baby. Yeah. Well, I'm just getting my thing together. Yeah, right. Come on. It's check-out time. Hey. Billy. Oh, man, don't do that. Howdy. What can I do for you? I'd like to fix my flat, if you don't mind. No, I don't mind. Just get in the barn. You'll find the tools you'll need. Whoa, baby. Whoa, honey. Turn that thing off. You're making my horse skittish. That sure is a good-looking machine. Yeah. There you go. You fellas can sit down here. Would you mind taking off your hat? We thank Thee, O Lord, for these, Thy gifts... received from Thy bounty... in the name of Thy only begotten son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. Where you fellas from? L.A. Los Angeles. Los Angeles. Is that a fact? When I was young... I was headed for California, but... Well, you know how it is. Well, you sure got a nice spread here. Sure got a lot of 'em. My wife is Catholic, you know. Honey, could we have some more coffee? No, I mean it. You've got a nice place. It's not every man that can live off the land. You do your own thing in your own time. You should be proud. Well, I'd rather go and journey Where the diamond crescent's glowing And run across the valley Beneath the sacred mountain And wander through the forest Where the trees have leaves of prisms And break the light in colors That no one knows the names of And when it's time I'll go and wait Beside a legendary fountain Till I see the form reflected In its clear and jewelled waters And if you think I'm ready You may lead me to the chasm Where the rivers of our vision Flow into one another I will want to dive beneath The white cascading waters She may beg, she may plead She may argue with her logic And mention all the things I learned That really have no value In the end she will surely know I wasn't born to follow Hey, man, what are you doing? I gotta talk to you, man. Everything we ever dreamed of is in that teardrop gas tank... and you got a stranger over there pouring gasoline all over it. All he's gotta do is look into it and he can see that... He won't know what it is, man. Don't worry, Billy. Everything's all right. All right, all right. I don't know, man. I do. Everything's fine, Billy. - Well... - That's all taken care of. I like that. I pulled in to Nazareth Was feelin' 'bout half past dead I just need some place Where I can lay my head Hey, mister, can you tell me Where a man might find a bed He just grinned and shook my hand "No" was all he said Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And You put the load right on me I picked up my bag I went lookin' for a place to hide Then I saw old Carmen and the devil Walkin' side by side I said, Hey, Carmen Come on, let's go downtown She said, I gotta go But my friend can stick around Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And You put the load right on me Yeah Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And You put the load right on me - How much further we gotta go, man? - I don't know. Not much further. That's what you said this morning. I sometimes say it all day. Really? You say it all day, huh? We don't have much longer. We'll be there soon. We gotta get to Mardi Gras, man. We're going to Mardi Gras. Little heart is set on that, huh? We got a week. That's a week away, man. It's a long way to Mardi Gras, baby. It won't take us a week to get to New Orleans. Wow. I think I'm gonna crash. I think you have crashed, man. I keep seeing things jumping all over the place. - Really? - Yeah, look. - What is it? - It's a moth. - A what? - Moth. Bug. It's a weird place, man. Oh, man. That smoke's getting to me. But I notice you're not moving. Where you from, man? Can I have a light? Where you from, man? Hard to say. "Hard to say"? Where you from, man? It's hard to say because it's a very long word, you know. I just wanna know where you're from, man. A city. What city? Doesn't make any difference what city. All cities are alike. That's why I'm out here now. Why you're out here now? Why? 'Cause I'm a long way from the city, and that's where I wanna be right now. They know you in this place? This place we're coming to? Or the place we're at now? This place. You're right on top of 'em. - I'm right on top of 'em? - Yeah. The people this place belongs to are buried right under you. You could be a trifle polite. "A trifle polite"? A small thing to ask. You ever want to be somebody else? I'd like to try Porky Pig. I never wanted to be anybody else. You can't hit me! I'm invisible! I'm invisible! Hey, Sarah. How's it going? Rudolph, what are you eating? - Thanks for the stuff you brought. - How's it going? We just can't take any more strangers. Just too many people dropping in. I'm not talking about you and your friends... you know that. The week before, Susan dropped in with 12 people from Easter City. She wanted to take ten pounds of rice with her. Naturally we had to say no... so she gets all uptight, breaks out some hash and won't give us any. That's not all. The next morning they couldn't get their bus started. Sarah, I bet you haven't had anybody like me around to rap to, have you? I don't have to tell you how it is, Sarah. I love you, and I want you to rap. - Oh, God, I want you to rap, rap, rap. - Cut that out! I guess nobody else here is interested, but I'd sure like to meet your friend. I bet you'd like to do more than that. I think he's beautiful. He's beautiful. What is that weird thing up there on the hill, man? It looks like a stage. You got light opera coming here or something? That's the mime troupe's stage. They've gone down to the hot springs to bathe. Mime troupe? Hey, Lisa. What does this mean? "Starting brings misfortune. Perseverance brings danger. Not every demand for change in the existing order should be heeded. On the other hand, repeated and well-founded complaints... should not fail to a hearing." Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye! We've come to play for our dinner. Or should I say, stay for our dinner? Or even... slay for our dinner! Oh! Men at war. How ghastly. We've come to drink your wine... taste your food and take pleasure in your women. The water in that river is about 80 degrees. You put your hand in about a foot away, it's below freezing. - Come on! I've got to get dinner on! - What's this I hear? Who said "out" to me? Pardon me! I've played communes all... Out! Out! Out! The evil eye on this place! A double whammy for all of you! - When you lie with dogs, you get fleas. - Come, my dear. We won't play here. Wow. Wow. Wow. Get out. I like you. What happened here is, these people got here late in the summer. Too late to plant. But the weather was beautiful, it was easy living, everything was fine. Then came that winter. Forty or fifty of them living in this one- room place down here. Nothing to eat. Starving. Out by the road looking for dead horses. Anything they could get a hold of. There's 18 or 20 of them left, and they're city kids... look at them. But they're getting this crop in... and they're gonna stay here till it's harvested. Do you get much rain here, man? I guess we're gonna have to dance for that. Look at this, man. A seashell, man. See that? This is nothing but sand. They ain't gonna grow anything here. They're gonna make it. Dig, man. They're gonna make it. We have planted our seeds. We ask... that our efforts be worthy... to produce simple food... for our simple taste. We ask that our efforts... be rewarded. We thank You for the food we eat from other hands... that we may share it with our fellow man... and be even more generous... when it is from our own. Thank You for a place... to make a stand. Amen. Let's eat. Ah, hark, ye gentles! Hark, ye all! The time has come for a curtain call. How do you wear your hair Does your hair hang low Do you tie it in a ribbon Do you tie it in a bow Do you wear it over your shoulder like a Continental soldier Does your hair hang low Are you an Aquarius? Pisces? I guessed right. Do you like our place here? Yeah. We will kill the old red rooster We will kill the old red rooster when she comes We'll all go to greet her when she comes We will all have chicken and dumplings when she comes Who sent you? Does your hair hang low Do you tie it in a ribbon Do you tie it in a bow Do you throw it over your shoulder like a Continental soldier Does your hair hang low Look, I gotta get out of here, man. We got things we wanna do, man. I gotta get out of here, man. Could you take me and my friend over across the canyon? Yeah, anything. It won't be out of your way. Honest. It's all right. We're not no travelin' bureau. Why don't they get their own ride? We're eating their food. All right. - Get 'em together, though, man. - Right. More water! More water! Well, I'd rather go and journey Where the diamond crescent's glowing And run across the valley Beneath the sacred mountain And wander through the forest Where the trees have leaves of prisms And break the light in colors That no one knows the names of And when it's time I'll go and wait Beside a legendary fountain Till I see the form reflected In its clear and jewelled waters And if you think I'm ready You may lead me to the chasm Where the rivers of our vision Flow into one another I will want to dive beneath The white cascading waters She may beg, she may plead She may argue with her logic And mention all the things I learned That really have no value In the end, she will surely know I wasn't born to follow When you get to the right place with the right people... quarter this. You know, this could be the right place. Your time's running out. If we're going, let's go! Yeah. I'm hip about time. But I gotta go. "Parading without a permit"? You gotta be kidding! Do you know who this is? This is Captain America! I'm Billy! Hey, we're headliners, baby! We played every fair in this part of the country, and for top dollar too! Weirdo hicks, man. A bunch of weirdo hicks. "Parading without a permit"! Man! Oh, no. What did I do now? Oh, what am I gonna do now? Oh, my head. All right, George, what are you gonna do now? I mean, you promised these people. You promised these people. They ain't gonna believe you, George. Hey, man, would you mind? You just woke my friend up. Oh. Yeah, well... I'm real sorry. I didn't realize. I didn't realize. My head. If you don't shut your mouth, you ain't gonna have a head. I see you're up, Mr. Hanson. You'll feel a lot better after this. Oh. Thank you, Bob. I guess I really tied one on last night. Must have had a hell of a good time. Wish I could remember it. Hey, man, you don't think you could get me a cigarette, do you? You animals ain't smart enough to play with fire. Oh, no, that's all right, Bob. They're good boys. You can give them a cigarette. Thanks, mister. - You got a match? - Yeah. Thank you, Bob. I'm sorry about, you know, the misunderstanding. Oh, that's all right. There was no misunderstanding. We're all in the same cage here. You must be some important dude, man, to get that treatment. "Dude"? What does he mean, "dude"? Dude ranch? "Dude" means... a nice guy. A regular sort of person. Well, you boys don't look like you're from this part of the country. You're lucky I'm here to see that you don't get into anything. "Anything"? They got this here... scissor-happy, "beautify America" thing going on around here. They're trying to make everybody look like Yul Brynner. They used rusty razor blades... on the last two longhairs they brought in here... and I wasn't here to protect 'em. I'm a lawyer. Done a lot of work for the ACLU. "George Hanson." You think you can help us get out of here with no sweat? I imagine that I can, if you haven't killed anybody. At least nobody white. See there? Twenty-five dollars. And no razor blades. Very groovy, George. Thank you. "Very groovy". See there? I'll bet nobody ever said that to you. Oh, by the way, Bob, thanks for the aspirin before. George, I'm gettin' to think you're a regular regular around here. I'm not gonna tell your dad. You just gotta be more careful. Well, Pat, that'd be real good if the powers that be wouldn't hear about this. I mean, the old man hasn't been feeling too good. You know what I mean? Well, now, George, you know we won't tell your dad about that. - Isn't that right, Bob? - Right. Well... what do you say we take a look at these super machines... we've been hearing so much about? Let's get it on. - Thanks a lot, Bob. - Sure. See you later. I'll take care of it later. All right, Carl. Thanks a million. Say hello to the missus for me. Here's the first of the day, fellas. To old D.H. Lawrence. Indians! Thank you. You know... I must have started off to Mardi Gras... six or seven times. Never got further than the state line. Governor of Louisiana give me this. "Madame Tinkertoy's House of Blue Lights. Corner of Bourbon and Toulouse, New Orleans, Louisiana." Now, this is supposed to be the finest whorehouse in the South. These ain't no pork chops. These are U.S. prime. Out of sight, man. Oh, I'd like to get over there. How long did you boys say it was gonna take you to get down there? - About two or three days. - Two or three days? Is that right? Oh, boy, I sure wish I was going with you. Yeah? You got a helmet? Oh, I've got a helmet. I got a beauty! Well, old buddy, I never thought I'd ever see you again. You know I threw this thing away one week ago. My mother, of all people, retrieved it. I can't understand that. She didn't even want me to play football. Always afraid I was gonna get hurt. And 12 years later, I find it on my pillow... with a note pinned next to it saying... "Save this for your son." Fire. Do this instead. Oh, no, thanks. I got some store-bought right over here of my own. No, man, this is grass. You mean marijuana? Yeah. Lord, have mercy. Is that what that is? Let me see that. Marijuana, hmm. Light it up. Oh, no, no. I couldn't do that. I mean, I've got enough problems with the booze and all. I mean, I can't afford to get hooked. You won't get hooked. Yeah, well, I know, but it leads to harder stuff. Except y-you say it's all right? Well, all right, then. H-How do I do it? Here. That's got a real nice taste to it. Though I don't suppose it'll do me much good. I mean, I'm so used to the booze and everything. You've got to hold it in your lungs longer, George. Oh, wow! What... was that, man? What the hell was that, man? Huh? No... Hey, man, wow. I was watching this object. Like the satellite that we saw the other night. It was going right across the sky, and then... I mean, it just suddenly... It just changed direction and went whizzing right off, man. - It flashed... - You're stoned out of your mind. Yeah, like, I'm stoned, you know, man... but I saw a satellite, man... and it was going across the sky... and it flashed three times at me... and zigzagged and whizzed off, man. And I saw it. That was a UFO beamin' back at you. Me and Eric was down in Mexico two weeks ago. We seen 40 of 'em flyin' in formation. They have got bases all over the world now. They been comin' here ever since 1946... when the scientists first started bouncin' radar beams off of the moon... and they have been livin' and workin' among us in vast quantities ever since. The government knows all about 'em. What are you talkin', man? You just seen one of 'em, didn't you? Hey, man, I saw something, man... but I didn't see it working here, you know what I mean? Well, they are people just like us... from within our own solar system... except that their society is more highly evolved. They don't have no wars. They got no monetary system. They don't have any leaders because each man is a leader. I mean, each man... Because of their technology... they are able to feed, clothe, house and transport themselves... equally and with no effort. Wow. Well, you know something, man? You wanna know what I think? I think this is a crackpot idea! That's what I think. How 'bout that? How 'bout a little of that? I think it's a crackpot idea! If they're so smart... why don't they reveal themselves to us and get it over with? "Why don't they reveal themselves to us?" is because if they did... it would cause a general panic. Now, we still have leaders... upon whom we rely for the release of this information. These leaders have decided... to repress this information because of the tremendous shock... that it would cause to our antiquated systems. Now, the result of this has been that the Venusians... have contacted people at all walks of life. All walks of life. Yes. It would be a devastatin' blow to our antiquated systems. So now Venusians are meeting with people in all walks of life... in an advisory capacity. For once, man will have a godlike control... over his own destiny. He will have a chance to transcend and to evolve... with some equality for all. How's your joint, George? Oh, my, I believe it went out. I got to talkin' so much I clean forgot about it. Went out. Save it. We'll do it tomorrow morning, first thing, all right? Gives you a whole new way of looking at the day. I sure could use that. Yes, I sure could use a little of that. Don't Bogart that joint, my friend Pass it over to me Don't Bogart that joint, my friend Pass it over to me Roll another one Just like the other one You've been hanging on to it And I sure would like a hit Yeah Sing a song, brother If the sun refused to shine I don't mind I don't mind If the mountains fell in the sea Let it be It ain't me Got my own world to live through And I ain't gonna copy you Now if a 6 turned out to be 9 Oh, I don't mind I don't mind If all the hippies Cut off all their hair I don't care Oh, I don't care Dig, 'cause I got my own world to live through and I... What the hell is this? Troublemakers? You name it, and I'll throw rocks at it, Sheriff. Y'all, check what just walked in. Ooh, I like the one in the red shirt with the suspenders. The white shirt's for me. Look how tuff those black pants are. We're in the establishment now, aren't we, gentlemen? - What did you say? - I said... I just can't believe it. What are they doin' here? - Look at the teeth around his neck. - Did they drive up on motorcycles? They know we're talkin' about 'em. They're lookin' over here. Hot damn. I'll tell you. I'll order kidneys, 'cause I left mine out on the road somewhere. I don't know, but I like his hair. I like his eyes. See that little girl right over there in the corner? Don't look too close at her... because the sheriff's right over there. Check that one with the long hair. I checked him. Might have to bring him up to the Hilton before it's over with. I think she's cute. Isn't she? Guess we'll put 'em in a woman's cell, don't you reckon? I think we oughta put 'em in a cage and charge admission to see 'em. Those are what is known as "country witticisms". What are they doin' here? - I don't know. - I'm gonna ask for a ride. Don't be foolish. No. - They'll laugh in your face. - Yeah. I'm gonna ask 'em. Not when I'm around you're not gonna ask 'em. - I don't think you're gonna. - Go ahead. Go ahead. You know, I thought at first that bunch over there... their mothers may have been frightened by a bunch of gorillas... but now I think they're a cult. One of 'em is Alley Oop, I think, from the beads on him. One of 'em, darn sure, is not Oola. Look like a bunch of refugees from a gorilla love- in. - A gorilla couldn't love that. - Nor could a mother. I wouldn't even mate him up with one of those black wenches out there. Oh, now, I don't know about that. That's about as low as they come, I'll tell you. - Oh, he's a biggie. - Man, they're green. No, they're not green. They're white. White? You're color-blind. I just got to say that. I'd like to get some food. I thought most jails were built for humanity... and that won't quite qualify. - Wonder where they got those wigs from? - They probably grew 'em. Look like they're standin' in fertilizer. - Nothin' else would grow on 'em. - I'm not real hungry at the moment. - You know what I mean? - I saw two of 'em one time. They were just kissin' away. Two males! Just think of it. What you think we oughta do with 'em? I don't know, but I don't think they'll make the parish line. Let's split. - Split? - Yeah. Yes, sir, it certainly has been nice. They got some fancy bikes out there. That's some Yankee queers. Check the flag on that bike. It sure is. I still say they're not gonna make the parish line. Here come the poontang. Hey, y'all, could we have a ride? - You want a ride? - Yeah. Please? You got a note from your moms? - My old lady won't mind. - Please let us have a ride. I wouldn't mind giving you a ride. Uh-oh. The Man is at the window. The Man is at the window. Oh, come on. The Man is at the window! I'd love to take you girls for a ride. You know, this used to be a hell of a good country. I can't understand what's gone wrong with it. Everybody got chicken, that's what happened. Hey, we can't even get into a second-rate hotel. I mean, a second-rate motel, you dig? They think we're gonna cut their throat. - They're scared, man. - They're not scared of you. They're scared of what you represent to 'em. Hey, man, all we represent to them is somebody who needs a haircut. Oh, no. What you represent to them is freedom. What's wrong with freedom? That's what it's all about. That's right. That's what it's all about. But talkin' about it and bein' it... that's two different things. It's real hard to be free... when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. 'Course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free... 'cause then they gonna get real busy killin' and maimin'... to prove to you that they are. Oh, yeah, they gonna talk to you and talk to you and talk to you... about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em. Well, it don't make 'em runnin' scared. No. It makes 'em dangerous. Swamp. Yeah, right, man. - Swamp. - Swamp! You ever... You ever talk to bullfrogs in the middle of the night? Not generally. You know what I used to do? What did you used to do? I'll tell you one thing I didn't used to do... is talk to bullfrogs in the middle of the night, fool. Shit! You're out of your mind! That's right. Hey, man. You okay? Oh, God, man. Oh, God. What are we gonna do with his stuff, man? Get it to his folks. There's not much here. There's some money and his driver's license. There's a... Oh, man, here's his card, man. He ain't gonna be using that. We'll go there for one drink. Just one drink. No, man. Hey, listen. Seriously. He would have wanted us to. "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him." That's a humdinger. I'm getting a little smashed, man. A little smashed. Wow, it's hot in here, man. Chicks, man. Where are those chicks, man? Look at this one. - It's okay. - Good-bye, girls. - Howdy. - Hello. My name is Billy... and this here is Captain America. Excuse me one minute, ladies. Do you mind if I take the tall one, man? - No, that's all right. - Oh, thank you, man. Come on, you little hoofer, you. Get yourself over here. You ol' thing, you. I'm really from New York. This is all just a weird act. You're a freak, aren't you? My name is Mary. - You want a drink, Mary? - No, thanks. What's this? - Is this really your hair? - What is this? Is this really your hair? Are you kidding me? - What are these things? - Well, what are these things? I'm kind of a freak myself. I never really thought of myself as a freak... but I love to freak. - What's happening outside? - What? In the street. What's happening? Mardi Gras. Oh, well, it's crowded and all that. Yeah. Want a drink? - Here's to you. - Thank you. What's the matter? Don't you like me? - What? - You paid for me, right? Well, that was for my friend. I don't... - Why don't I buy you a drink. - I don't drink. I've got an idea. Let's go outside. We'll all go outside to Mardi Gras. Okay? When the saints go marching in When the saints go marching in You know I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in Now when the saints go marching in Oh, when the saints go marching in I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in Oh, when the saints go marching on in Oh, when the saints go marching in You know I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in What's that? What's that? Never mind. Just shut up and take it. Yeah, right. What do you do with it? - Give it to me. - Just shut up and take it, man. Put it under your tongue. I believe in God... the Father Almighty... Creator of heaven and earth... Going up for the last time. The last time. The last time. ...was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell.

I can feel the outside, but I can't... I can't feel the inside. Okay? Don't stop! I'm dying! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm dead. I'm dead. Do you understand? Mary love the lamb... Mary love the... Oh, dear God! Please help me! Please help me to conceive a child! I'm right out here. I'm right out here! I'm right out here. I'm out here, out of my head. Please, God, let me out of here! I want to get out of here! Please help me. Do you know what I mean? You wanted me ugly, didn't you? I know you johns. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. - You never thought about me. - I believe in God, the Father Almighty... Why did you leave like that? - Everybody else, but not you. - He descended into hell. - And not me. - The third day, He arose again... ...hallowed be Thy name.

We're retired in Florida now, mister. You know, Billy... we blew it. What? That's what it's all about. I mean, like, you know. You go for the big money, man, and then you're free. You dig? We blew it. Good night, man. Darkness at the break of noon Shadows even the silver spoon The handmade blade, the child's balloon Eclipses both the sun and moon To understand you know too soon There is no sense in tryin' Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn Suicide remarks are torn From the fool's gold mouthpiece The hollow horn plays wasted words Prove to warn That he not busy bein' born Is busy dyin' Temptation's page flies out the door You follow, find yourself at war Watch waterfalls of pity roar You feel to moan but unlike before You discover that you'd just be one more person cryin' So don't fear When you hear A foreign sound to your ear It's all right, Ma I'm only sighin' Hey, Arnold, look at them two. Pull alongside. We'll scare the hell out of 'em. Want me to blow your brains out? Why don't you get a haircut? What happened? Billy! Oh, my God. - I'm going for help. - I'm gonna get 'em. We better go back. I'm gonna get 'em. We're ready now. The river flows It flows to the sea Wherever that river goes That's where I want to be Flow, river, flow Let your waters wash down Take me from this road To some other town All he wanted was to be free And that's the way it turned out to be Flow, river, flow Let your waters wash down Take me from this road To some other town Go, river, go Past the shaded tree Flow, river, flow Flow to the sea Flow, river, flow Flow To the sea |
