7 00:03:09 And a cocaine addict.
8 00:03:14 And a sex addict.
9 00:03:18 And a bulimic.
10 00:03:22 Mostly shopaholic who has problems with weed,
11 00:03:26 prescription drugs,
12 00:03:31 and anger management.
13 00:03:34 Why are you here now?
14 00:03:35 Well, my dealer was out of town,
15 00:03:37 I thought this seemed like a good alternative.
16 00:03:47 I'm here because I want to get better.
17 00:03:49 What were you like as a child, Elton?

43 00:05:41 You're late!
44 00:05:42 I've had to throw your dinner in the bin! Get inside.
45 00:05:56 Is he back?
46 00:05:58 What am I, thin air?
47 00:06:00 Wouldn't get your hopes up.
48 00:06:01 He's very unreliable and very selfish.
49 00:06:04 But will you send him up if I'm already in bed?
50 00:06:06 Reggie, move.
51 00:06:08 I wanna get this done before I go out.
52 00:06:13 All right, I'm done.
53 00:06:15 Put it away before you go out.
54 00:06:17 Mum, I've got to go.
55 00:06:19 Where's my car keys?
56 00:06:43 What?
57 00:06:45 Did I do something wrong?
58 00:06:46 Bloody hell, Sheila.
59 00:06:48 Maybe we should get him some lessons.
60 00:06:50 Love to!
61 00:06:52 Get him out from under my feet.
62 00:06:57 Go on, play it again.
63 00:07:00 I wanna play it for Dad.
64 00:07:09 Managed to drag yourself home, then.
65 00:07:11 Hello, Stanley.
66 00:07:12 - How are you, Ivy? - Like you care.
67 00:07:14 Come on. Lettin' in the draft.
68 00:07:20 How long you're back?
69 00:07:22 I've got a couple of weeks leave.
70 00:07:24 Reggie's not long gone to bed.
71 00:07:26 Go on.
72 00:07:27 Pop up, say hello.
73 00:07:29 I'll see him tomorrow.
74 00:07:33 Any dinner left?
75 00:07:34 Or have you fed it all to that boy?
76 00:07:39 My dad was passionate about
77 00:07:41 family and music.
78 00:07:45 He'll talk for hours about jazz.
79 00:07:48 He's always hugging me.
80 00:07:49 I was very lucky.
81 00:07:55 I was actually a very happy child.
82 00:08:06 Dad, is it true you play piano?
83 00:08:09 I'm saving to get lessons.
84 00:08:10 If you want to sit in here, you'll have to be quiet.
85 00:08:14 Listen to my music.
86 00:08:25 I like this one, Dad.
87 00:08:32 Never, ever touch my collection without asking.
88 00:08:46 When are you going to hug me?
89 00:08:48 Don't be soft.
90 00:08:58 What you still doing up?
91 00:09:00 Learning.
92 00:09:02 Turn off the light, go to sleep.
93 00:10:05 Crumbs! That was energetic.
94 00:10:07 Play another one!
95 00:10:10 The Moonlight Sonata, Reggie.
96 00:10:14 Mum,
97 00:10:15 my piano teacher thinks I'm good enough for a scholarship
98 00:10:18 at the Royal Academy of Music.
99 00:10:20 The Royal Academy of Music?
100 00:10:24 It has a nice ring to it.
101 00:10:26 "Royal".
102 00:10:28 Scissors.
103 00:10:31 What d'you think?
104 00:10:33 The red one's good.
105 00:10:36 It's only on Saturdays.
106 00:10:38 Things to do on weekends. Can't just drop everything.
107 00:10:40 I'll take you.
108 00:10:44 Where are you off to?
109 00:10:46 Dunno.
110 00:10:47 Haven't decided yet.
111 00:10:49 But whatever it is, you're not invited.
112 00:10:52 Reggie's piano teacher thinks
113 00:10:53 he's good enough for a scholarship.
114 00:10:56 Really?
115 00:10:57 You think he's got that kind of talent?
116 00:10:59 'Course he has.
117 00:11:00 But you'd know that
118 00:11:01 if you took the slightest bit of interest in me
119 00:11:03 or this family.
120 00:11:15 Stop looking at that. You're not a girl.
121 00:11:31 Can we go home?
122 00:11:32 Home? No going home.
123 00:11:34 This is your life.
124 00:11:36 Never get over that silly shyness.
125 00:11:39 But Mum says I'm never...
126 00:11:40 Now everybody's frightened at the beginning.
127 00:11:42 You play at being confident.
128 00:11:45 Life gives you very few chances, Reggie, and this is one of yours.
129 00:11:49 You show 'em you can be good as they are,
130 00:11:51 better, number one.
131 00:11:52 You can do that, can't you?
132 00:11:54 Yeah, I suppose.
133 00:11:55 Good. Go on, then. Here.
134 00:11:57 This is for a bag of chips and your bus fare home.
135 00:12:17 Reginald Dwight?
136 00:12:19 - Yes. - How do you do?
137 00:12:24 Good, thank you.
138 00:12:26 Take your coat off.
139 00:12:30 Did you not bring something to play?
140 00:12:34 Didn't know I had to.
141 00:12:36 I see, well...
142 00:12:40 So, can you show me anything
143 00:12:42 so I can get a sense of where you're up to?
144 00:13:06 Why have you stopped?
145 00:13:09 That's as far as you got.
146 00:13:14 You might have a good memory and a good ear,
147 00:13:16 but you've an awful lot of work to do.
148 00:13:19 So, wrists and back straight.
149 00:13:23 Let's start with the C major scale,
150 00:13:25 both hands, two octaves.
151 00:13:35 Hands off the table, Reginald.

192 00:16:37 And be rid of you and this bloody house!
193 00:17:03 He didn't even give me hug goodbye.
194 00:17:07 He's no good at showing affection.
195 00:17:09 Never has been.
196 00:17:14 I wish I was someone else.
197 00:17:15 Don't be silly.

212 00:18:08 It's fantastic!

382 00:28:28 Well, y-you can tell me your real name
383 00:28:29 when we get to know each other better.
384 00:28:31 Right.
385 00:28:37 - Have you ever...? - I was thinking...
386 00:28:38 - Sorry. - Sorry.
387 00:28:39 No, no, please. After you.
388 00:28:42 I like your lyrics.
389 00:28:44 Thank you.

398 00:29:01 - Yeah, I... - Border Song?
399 00:29:03 Yeah.
400 00:29:04 I read it and I could hear the whole tune in my head.
401 00:29:07 It was all there, I could see all the notes
402 00:29:08 and I just had to get it out.
403 00:29:10 It's like my fingers couldn't work fast enough to keep up with my brain.
404 00:29:15 D'you ever get anything like that?
405 00:29:18 Not really, no.
406 00:29:19 I can write more for you though, Elton.
407 00:29:23 I'll just send them down to you.
408 00:29:24 Great. That'd be good.

413 00:29:38 Yeah, all I ever, uh...
414 00:29:40 All I ever wanted to be was a cowboy, you see.

462 00:32:11 Elton is... he sings the songs.
463 00:32:13 Yeah, I could just take those songs and leave, if you like.
464 00:32:16 Alright, alright, no offense.
465 00:32:18 Don't get your knickers in a twist.
466 00:32:19 They are writing a lot of great tunes, Dick.

522 00:35:20 Don't know.

524 00:35:30 No. Not to me.

545 00:36:46 Listen, the songs are great.
546 00:36:49 And people keep asking. They're like,
547 00:36:50 "Who's that singing on the demos?"
548 00:36:51 And that you are a shit hot piano player.
549 00:36:54 You have an amazing voice.
550 00:36:56 And I'm telling you, there is something special that happens
551 00:37:00 when you sing our songs.
552 00:37:02 Yeah, but Dick said, he said my hands are like midget boxers.
553 00:37:05 Who cares what Dick thinks?
554 00:37:08 I just don't know if I'm
555 00:37:10 what they're looking for.

562 00:37:46 Time for bed.
563 00:37:54 We became inseparable after that.
564 00:37:57 The brother I never had.
565 00:37:59 D'you know in 20 years,
566 00:38:01 we have never had
567 00:38:03 a single argument, not once.
568 00:38:05 Anyway, I took his advice.
569 00:38:07 Told Arabella.
570 00:38:10 She took it very well, actually.
571 00:38:13 You bastard!

574 00:38:21 Your music's as shitty as you are!
575 00:38:26 All right, Mum.

649 00:43:16 Hang on, now let's not be hasty
650 00:43:18 because the thing is I haven't even got a backing band yet.
651 00:43:20 No, I've sorted the backup band, don't worry.
652 00:43:22 Dick, I don't want to appear ungrateful
653 00:43:24 but you can't just spring the Troubadour on me.
654 00:43:25 It's time to do something bold, Elton.

695 00:45:22 Neil Young played here last week,

698 00:45:29 That's a cool hat.
699 00:45:30 Yeah? You like it?

716 00:46:14 This is shit, Bernie!
717 00:46:17 Reggie?
718 00:46:18 Elton!
719 00:46:19 I think you're overreacting.
720 00:46:21 No! Bernie.
721 00:46:23 You are underreacting.
722 00:46:25 They are the geniuses of American music.
723 00:46:27 I can't go out there in front of that lot!
724 00:46:29 Okay, okay.
725 00:46:30 Then we'll tell Doug to refund everyone's ticket,
726 00:46:33 and we'll send everybody home.
727 00:46:35 - Where is he? - Hey, Ray.
728 00:46:36 You signed a contract!
729 00:46:38 Dick's paid your fucking airfare.
730 00:46:39 Now, get out there and play, you little twat!
731 00:46:50 Well, come on, then.
732 00:46:52 And now, ladies and gentlemen...
733 00:46:54 A rising star of rock and roll.
734 00:46:57 Please welcome, all the way from London, England,
735 00:47:01 Elton John.

819 00:55:06 John Reid.
820 00:55:10 Elton.
821 00:55:12 I know it seems a bit overwhelming at first,
822 00:55:14 but, eh, something makes me think you'll get used to it.
823 00:55:18 And in fact, I predict you could be the best selling artist in America,
824 00:55:21 if you desire.
825 00:55:22 So you like the songs then?
826 00:55:24 Not quite as much as the singer.
827 00:55:32 But you don't believe
828 00:55:32 that's what happened at the Troubadour tonight, do you?
829 00:55:36 Look, I'm in music management, and let me tell you.
830 00:55:39 There are moments in a rock star's life
831 00:55:41 that define who he is.
832 00:55:43 And how people perceive him
833 00:55:44 as he ascends into the heavens.
834 00:55:50 You lit the blue touch paper.
835 00:55:53 Now we can all see you
836 00:55:54 shooting light and color and magic into the night sky.
837 00:56:03 Where there was darkness, there was no you.
838 00:56:08 Elton John.
839 00:56:12 You can do anything you want.
840 00:56:16 You can be anyone you want.
841 00:56:20 And it's gonna be a wild ride.

860 00:57:40 The review from the L.A. Times has been syndicated.
861 00:57:43 - Okay. - Things are going crazy.
862 00:57:44 I've extended our stay.
863 00:57:45 We're in San Francisco tomorrow for three nights.
864 00:57:48 - After that, we fly to NYC... - Slow down.
865 00:57:49 then we're back here for two more shows and then
866 00:57:52 Dick wants us back in London to start the new album.
867 00:57:55 "The Rejoice"
868 00:57:57 "Rock music has a new star.
869 00:57:59 He is Englishman,
870 00:58:01 Elton John, a 23-year-old
871 00:58:03 whose debut at the Troubadour
872 00:58:05 was in every way magnificent."
873 00:58:10 It's happening, guys.
874 00:58:12 Just remember, when you get back,
875 00:58:14 four shows, you owe me.
876 00:58:18 - You said...? - Four!
877 00:58:20 - Did... you said four shows? - Yes.
878 00:58:24 So...
879 00:58:28 Will I see you when I get back?
880 00:58:30 Now, don't worry about me.
881 00:58:31 Go and enjoy your moment.
882 00:58:33 - That's what's important. - Come to London with me.
883 00:58:37 I can't, but, eh,
884 00:58:39 next time I'm there, I'll look you up.
885 00:58:41 I promise.
886 00:58:43 I've opened the fucking house.
887 00:58:44 Don't be a bummer.
888 00:58:46 I'm gonna watch you in front.
889 00:59:06 I love 'em.
890 00:59:08 These are extremely stylish boots of my own design.
891 00:59:11 Can you even play the piano on that?
892 00:59:25 - This is never gonna last. - I know.

927 01:01:12 Are we going again or shall we go for a pint?
928 01:01:20 Yeah, no, yeah, you should go for a pint.
929 01:01:37 What do you want, Elton?
930 01:01:39 Dinner with you.

932 01:01:43 You're a millionaire rock star who lives at home with his mum.

968 01:04:06 No one's getting phased out, Dick.
969 01:04:09 Elton feels things'll run more smoothly
970 01:04:11 if he has personal management.
971 01:04:14 There's never been a problem before.
972 01:04:15 And there isn't one now.
973 01:04:18 Look, there's loads of work.
974 01:04:19 Commitments, tours, etcetera.
975 01:04:21 That's what I'll be doing. Personal management.
976 01:04:23 Taking care of things.
977 01:04:24 Is that right?
978 01:04:25 You realize I've got a contract with Elton.
979 01:04:28 I've had that looked into.
980 01:04:29 And now my client is quite entitled
981 01:04:30 to take on outside representation.
982 01:04:31 That's what you think.
983 01:04:35 You fucking poofter!
984 01:04:40 And you.
985 01:04:41 You're happy with this arrangement, are ya?
986 01:04:44 After all these years?
987 01:04:46 It's nothing personal, Dick.
988 01:04:52 Come on, Ray.
989 01:04:57 Best of luck to you, Elton.
990 01:05:04 Your very expensive painting is upside down.
991 01:05:10 - After you, Mr. James. - Thank you, Ray.
992 01:05:15 Well.
993 01:05:17 That was absolutely horrible.
994 01:05:20 Don't worry, it's business.
995 01:05:21 Dick's a big boy. He'll be fine.
996 01:05:23 Mr. Reid, Lord Graves' office have called about
997 01:05:25 the Royal Variety performance.
998 01:05:27 Apparently, the Queen Mother is a big fan.
999 01:05:29 Couldn't we have kept on Ray? He's such a lovely guy.
1000 01:05:32 "Lovely guy" is not a job.
1001 01:05:35 This is a crucial time, Elton.
1002 01:05:38 You and I are gonna have to be more careful
1003 01:05:40 'cause the papers have been sniffin' around.
1004 01:05:42 We can't give them anything to speculate on.
1005 01:05:45 I'm thinking of getting someone in as your girlfriend.
1006 01:05:48 - That seem a bit excessive? - No, no, no, no.
1007 01:05:50 This is your career. And our business at stake.
1008 01:05:52 If our sleeping arrangements get out...
1009 01:05:55 - all of this is gone. - Right.
1010 01:05:58 And you're gonna have to talk to your parents.
1011 01:06:00 Make sure they know what to say.
1012 01:06:02 Those are the first doors reporters knock on.
1013 01:06:14 Hello, Reg.
1014 01:06:16 Dad.
1015 01:06:23 Well...
1016 01:06:24 Come on in.
1017 01:06:27 Well, those are very fancy shoes.
1018 01:06:29 Well, yeah.
1019 01:06:33 I brought you something.
1020 01:06:44 Why are you here, Reg?
1021 01:06:48 The boys.
1022 01:06:53 Dad, there's a Rolls Royce outside.
1023 01:06:55 Stephen, Geoff...
1024 01:06:58 This is your brother, Reggie.
1025 01:07:01 Half brother.
1026 01:07:02 Not actually called Reggie anymore.
1027 01:07:07 Thought maybe once I'm back from touring,
1028 01:07:09 you and I could get together if you'd like.
1029 01:07:11 I could get you some tickets to my next concert.
1030 01:07:15 Not-Not really my thing.
1031 01:07:19 Is it true you're worth 25 million pound?
1032 01:07:22 D'you know, I don't actually know.
1033 01:07:24 They're really proud of you.
1034 01:07:27 We've even got some of your records.
1035 01:07:31 Why don't you go get the, uh, album.
1036 01:07:33 Grab us a pen.
1037 01:07:39 You probably get asked this all the time.
1038 01:07:42 But would you, uh...
1039 01:07:44 Would you mind signing this?
1040 01:07:50 Yeah, 'course.
1041 01:07:57 No. Would you make it out to, uh, Arthur?
1042 01:08:01 He's, uh, one of the blokes from work.
1043 01:08:03 He's a big fan.
1044 01:08:06 Is he?
1045 01:08:16 Perfect.
1046 01:08:20 Right.
1047 01:08:23 Well, looks like things worked out really well
1048 01:08:25 second time 'round, Dad.
1049 01:08:27 Yeah, I suppose they have.
1050 01:08:29 You know, not everybody gets a second chance.
1051 01:08:37 Always loved meeting a real live pop star.
1052 01:08:40 Sure.
1053 01:08:42 Thanks, Dad.
1054 01:08:43 Bye.
1055 01:08:47 - When I grow up, Dad... - Inside.
1056 01:08:49 What are you doing without your shoes on?
1057 01:09:25 What've you got to do to get a fucking drink around here, eh?
1058 01:09:35 Will you stop sulking?
1059 01:09:39 It has to be done whether you like it or not.
1060 01:09:41 Are you gonna be scared of her your whole life?
1061 01:09:46 - Right stop the car! - Elton.
1062 01:09:47 I said stop the car!
1063 01:09:54 You're on stage in 15 minutes.
1064 01:09:58 You're the big shot manager.
1065 01:09:59 You make my excuses.
1066 01:10:00 Tell them I'm in disposed
1067 01:10:02 breaking my mother's heart!

1069 01:10:06 Elton!
1070 01:10:07 Drive around, Dennis.
1071 01:10:09 Liberace!
1072 01:10:18 Pinner 97 double 5.
1073 01:10:21 Mum, it's me.
1074 01:10:22 I know who you are.
1075 01:10:25 Well, I've got something to tell you.
1076 01:10:27 Reggie, we're gonna miss the bit of the show with you on.
1077 01:10:30 Look, shut-shut up, Mum!
1078 01:10:32 I'm not on telly yet, am I? I'm talking to you.
1079 01:10:36 I...
1080 01:10:38 Me and John, we...
1081 01:10:42 Well, the thing is...
1082 01:10:47 I'm...
1083 01:10:48 a homosexual.
1084 01:10:54 A poofter.
1085 01:10:57 A fairy.
1086 01:10:59 A queen.
1087 01:11:06 Well, say something!
1088 01:11:11 Oh, for God's sake, I know that.
1089 01:11:16 Known for years.
1090 01:11:19 You don't mind?
1091 01:11:20 Frankly, I don't care.
1092 01:11:23 But I'd rather you keep that sort of thing to yourself.
1093 01:11:28 I just hope you realize
1094 01:11:29 you're choosing a life of being alone forever.
1095 01:11:33 You'll never be loved properly.
1096 01:11:41 Right. Got to go.
1097 01:11:53 She said I'll never be loved.
1098 01:11:56 Don't ever put me in this position again.
1099 01:11:58 You're on stage in ten minutes.
1100 01:11:59 So get over yourself and do the show.
1101 01:12:00 We're running a business here, you fuckin' idiot.
1102 01:12:05 Don't ever put your hands on me.
1103 01:12:11 Real love's hard to come by.
1104 01:12:21 So you find a way to cope without it.
1105 01:13:25 - You okay? - Yeah.
1106 01:13:27 Got the number one album in America, again.
1107 01:13:29 I'm about to embark on the highest grossing tour in rock history.
1108 01:13:33 I'm personally responsible
1109 01:13:35 for five percent of all record sales
1110 01:13:36 on the entire planet.
1111 01:13:38 And I have the biggest headdress known to man.
1112 01:13:41 So yeah, I think I'm okay, Bernie.
1113 01:13:43 Right, used to just be the two of us.
1114 01:13:44 Now there's busloads of people just to do the music.
1115 01:13:46 Hang on, hang on, don't you wanna just...
1116 01:13:48 go out there and sing without this ridiculous paraphernalia?
1117 01:13:52 You know, just...
1118 01:13:54 be yourself Reg?
1119 01:13:56 Why the fuck would I want that, Bernie?
1120 01:13:59 You know, you wouldn't say this shit to me
1121 01:14:01 if you were a real friend.
1122 01:14:02 People don't pay to see Reginald Dwight.
1123 01:14:04 They pay to see Elton John!
1124 01:14:07 Don't ever tell me how to do my fucking job!
1125 01:14:17 Break a leg.
1126 01:14:21 You don't have to put up with this, Reg.
1127 01:14:22 Write the fucking lyrics, Bernie!
1128 01:14:25 Let me deal with the rest.
1129 01:14:33 - Sorry. - I know.
1130 01:14:34 Ladies and gentlemen.

1156 01:16:03 Right.
1157 01:16:05 I'll put some coffee on.
1158 01:16:16 Telling you, I've been thinking, maybe we should
1159 01:16:18 quit the booze for a couple of days,
1160 01:16:19 take some quality time together.
1161 01:16:23 Good afternoon.
1162 01:16:25 Mr. Reid.
1163 01:16:33 What d'you think you're doing, John?
1164 01:16:33 Just a bit of rock and roll.
1165 01:16:34 Rock and roll is not shagging your secretary
1166 01:16:36 in front of the pool boys!
1167 01:16:38 Rock and roll's getting you out of your bed in the morning.
1168 01:16:41 Arranging 250 gigs in 26 different countries.
1169 01:16:43 Rock and roll's actually 112 employment contracts.
1170 01:16:46 Insurance. Copyright indemnity.
1171 01:16:48 Renegotiating your previously insane contract
1172 01:16:50 and wiping your ass.
1173 01:16:52 You know what you do, Elton, is play the piano,
1174 01:16:53 but for me, rock and roll
1175 01:16:55 is an $87 million-a-year industry...
1176 01:16:57 So, well, maybe all I do is play the piano,
1177 01:16:59 but you know what else I do?
1178 01:17:01 I pay, John.
1179 01:17:03 For everything.
1180 01:17:05 Including this house which I'd like you to leave, now.
1181 01:17:08 You may still be my manager
1182 01:17:09 but you and me are finished.
1183 01:17:11 - You're so predictable. - No. Not predictable.
1184 01:17:13 I want to be by myself.
1185 01:17:14 Not with some asshole!
1186 01:17:16 Who doesn't give a shit about me!
1187 01:17:18 And takes the piss!
1188 01:17:19 Day after day!

1191 01:17:25 Come out. Look at that!
1192 01:17:27 What are they doing here?
1193 01:17:28 You told me to hire a jet and fly them over for the gig.
1194 01:17:31 No. No, next week, John.
1195 01:17:33 It is next week.
1196 01:17:35 I'm gonna go and fix them a drink.
1197 01:17:36 Darling, why don't you clean yourself up?

1355 01:29:52 have never understood me

1357 01:29:57 And you know what, I should've sacked you when you left me.
1358 01:30:00 I am glad I left you. It means I can maintain some objectivity
1359 01:30:03 in your self-indulgent, myopic little world.
1360 01:30:05 Get in the studio, make some music or don't.
1361 01:30:08 I don't care.
1362 01:30:14 Well, you will when your money runs out.
1363 01:30:20 Do your worst.
1364 01:30:21 In fact, take me to court.
1365 01:30:23 You signed contracts with me years ago.

1412 01:35:07 She was a good person.
1413 01:35:11 I dragged her into all my madness.
1414 01:35:15 Did being married make you happy?
1415 01:35:17 Not really, I'm gay.
1416 01:35:26 Hello, Mum.
1417 01:35:27 Sir, would you like me to refill your glass?
1418 01:35:29 Maybe a bit later, thank you.
1419 01:35:30 How you doing, son?
1420 01:35:32 - You all right? - Yeah, good.
1421 01:35:33 Just talking about poor Renata.
1422 01:35:36 Such a lovely woman.
1423 01:35:38 Divorce can be so painful.
1424 01:35:41 - Yeah. - Anyway...
1425 01:35:43 A celebration is in order.

1431 01:35:55 It's a lovely place. You should see it.
1432 01:35:57 Menorca, eh?
1433 01:36:02 What do you want to go there for?
1434 01:36:04 'Cause you're driving me away.
1435 01:36:06 Every time we open a paper,
1436 01:36:08 there's something about you, and the booze or the drugs, and...
1437 01:36:12 You're breaking your poor mum's heart.
1438 01:36:13 Tell you what, I'll write you a check. Hmm?
1439 01:36:16 So's you can go buy a new one.
1440 01:36:17 Typical that you'd say something like that about me.
1441 01:36:20 When I've given up so much for you.
1442 01:36:22 What have you given up for me?
1443 01:36:24 Your father for a start.
1444 01:36:32 You really are a heartless monster.
1445 01:36:39 You know, I don't live my life in black and white.
1446 01:36:43 And I do not want your fucked up frigid ideas about anything.
1447 01:36:51 You know, I am so sick of running away from who I am.
1448 01:36:57 There's nothing wrong with success.
1449 01:36:59 Or pleasure. In fact, why am I apologizing for it?
1450 01:37:01 Mum, I have fucked everything that moves.
1451 01:37:05 And I've taken every drug known to man.
1452 01:37:08 All of them.
1453 01:37:10 D'you know what?
1454 01:37:14 I enjoyed every last minute of it.

1458 01:37:21 You've never worked hard
1459 01:37:22 for a bloody thing in your life.
1460 01:37:24 It all just comes to you. You don't do anything.
1461 01:37:27 And I'm the one who suffers.

1491 01:39:39 And all those legends who were welcoming us in.
1492 01:39:44 You left me at the most important time, Bernie.

1495 01:39:52 how do you expect anyone else to?

1499 01:40:02 to get us out of the shit.
1500 01:40:04 Day in, day out.
1501 01:40:07 For years.

1576 01:46:04 Yeah, but I started acting like a cunt in 1975.
1577 01:46:11 I just forgot to stop.
1578 01:46:18 Do feel ashamed.
1579 01:46:22 Spent so long feeling resentful for things that just don't matter.
1580 01:46:33 Maybe I should've tried to be more ordinary.
1581 01:46:41 Hello, Nan.
1582 01:46:43 You was never ordinary.
1583 01:46:47 Look at you.
1584 01:46:49 In here, talking about your feelings.
1585 01:46:53 What a waste of time.
1586 01:46:55 Mum, I know it was never easy.
1587 01:46:58 And I hope you can forgive me.
1588 01:47:02 'Cause I've realized that's what we need to do now.
1589 01:47:06 Forgive each other.
1590 01:47:09 - No, your problem is you're selfish. - No.
1591 01:47:13 My problem was I believed you loved me.
1592 01:47:16 And you're incapable of it.
1593 01:47:17 I gave everything to keep something that I never even
1594 01:47:19 had in the first place.
1595 01:47:22 Always thought that you was an introverted extrovert.
1596 01:47:25 A what?
1597 01:47:26 He's shy! He's always been shy.
1598 01:47:29 It's all his father's fault.
1599 01:47:31 Don't blame me.
1600 01:47:33 He'd have been strange regardless.
1601 01:47:36 Actually, I think I'm okay with "strange".
1602 01:47:38 God. Not him.
1603 01:47:41 Both of you.
1604 01:47:43 Stop.
1605 01:47:44 I'm not going to allow you to talk to me like this anymore.
1606 01:47:49 It's about time you said that.
1607 01:47:55 Bernie.
1608 01:47:59 I never told you how much I need you.
1609 01:48:01 No, no, no. I love you, man.
1610 01:48:06 Always have, always will.
1611 01:48:09 You write songs that millions of people love.
1612 01:48:12 And that's what's important.
1613 01:48:14 You just need to remember who you are.
1614 01:48:18 And be okay with it.
1615 01:48:19 He doesn't know who he is.
1616 01:48:28 Yes, I do.
1617 01:48:32 I'm Elton Hercules John.
1618 01:48:36 I thought you were Reggie Dwight?
1619 01:48:48 I haven't been Reggie Dwight for years.
1620 01:49:05 When are you going to hug me?
1621 01:49:40 Impressed you know how to use one of those.
1622 01:49:47 How you doing?
1623 01:49:50 Good to see you.
1624 01:49:51 Some days are tougher than others, but I feel good.
1625 01:49:56 They got a piano here?
1626 01:49:58 You've been playing?
1627 01:50:00 - No. - No?
1628 01:50:01 Not in the right place for that just now.
1629 01:50:04 I'm scared, Bernie.
1630 01:50:10 What if I'm not as good?
1631 01:50:14 Without the drink and drugs?
1632 01:50:19 You know that's not true.
1633 01:50:23 You're not scared you're not good without it.
1634 01:50:24 You're scared to feel again.
1635 01:50:26 You might be able to lie to yourself, but you can't lie to me.
1636 01:50:33 I should be going.
1637 01:50:38 Don't go.
1638 01:50:41 Not yet.
1639 01:50:43 This is the part you got to do on your own.
