[about Maggie]
You know what she really wanted to talk about? Those old tapes: "Season in Hell". She said something about them being missing, and wanted to know if I knew where they were.
Frank Ridgeway
What did you tell her?
Sal Amato
I told her I don't have a clue. For all I care, they cook on down with Eddie. You understand?
Frank Ridgeway
Sally, you were on those tapes too.
Sal Amato
If they find those tapes, what's in it for me, huh? I just about broke my fingers trying to play that stuff.
Frank Ridgeway
Well, if it must be worth money, somebody's wanting to pay for them.
Sal Amato
But we ain't gonna see a dime from that. They'll find a way to screw us, they always do. Guys like you and me, they strike oil under your garden and all you get is dead tomatoes.
Frank Ridgeway
[The band is at a college where Frank graduated from]
What is the big deal? We've played at colleges before.
Eddie Wilson
Yeah, sure, we played at "St. Something" down in Delaware and "Fairly Ridiculous" up in Madison, but we ain't never played at no finishing school like this. This is a mistake, we don't belong here. These people are different.
Frank Ridgeway
I'm telling you they're gonna eat us up. They're just a bunch of college kids, no better than you...
Eddie Wilson
[interrupting]
Hey! I didn't say better, I said different. You oughta remember that.
Maggie Foley
Frank, how much influence did Rimbaud have on Eddie?
Frank Ridgeway
Looking for a ghost?
Maggie Foley
[smiles knowingly]
Maybe.
Frank Ridgeway
You don't really think Eddie's still alive, do you?
Maggie Foley
I guess not. But what about the coincindence of "Season in Hell"? Frank what happened to those tapes?
Frank Ridgeway
Hey, look, it didn't work. The record company hated it, they never released the album.
Maggie Foley
Frank, I want to get a hold of those tapes and play them on my show. Let's let them be heard, and let the people decide whether their any good.
Frank Ridgeway
I don't know where they are. Honest, we'd like to find them as much as you would.
Joann Carlino
Frank, I know you're gonna think I'm crazy. But I have to tell you something. Last night, there was a car sitting in my driveway: a '57 Chevy, just like Eddie's.
Frank Ridgeway
Joann, that car was destroyed in the accident, remember?
Joann Carlino
I know, but whoever it was, must have seen me looking out the window. He blinked his headlights high, then low, then high again, just like Eddie.
Frank Ridgeway
It can't be. It can't be him.
Joann Carlino
Well, who then? Who?
Frank Ridgeway
It's not Eddie. Now, whoever it is that's watching you is looking to cash in on those tapes. But it is not Eddie.
Joann Carlino
Frank, I know where those tapes are. After the accident, I had to say goodbye in my own way. I went to Satin Records, got the tapes, and drove back to Palace Depression.
Frank Ridgeway
Take me there.
Frank Ridgeway
Why did you do this?
Doc Robbins
Shortcuts, kid. I never could do things the easy way.
Frank Ridgeway
Doc, why this little game and the car business?
Doc Robbins
I figured Joann had the tapes, I knew she wasn't gonna gove them to me. Maybe you, Wordman, maybe if she'd give them to you.
Joann Carlino
What would you do if you had the tapes, Doc?
Doc Robbins
Try me, just try me. I have it made. For once in my life, I'd bring home a winner... I'd like that.
Joann Carlino
I once asked Eddie why he kept you around. You know what he said? He said, "Doc's a dreamer, and the world needs dreamers."
Doc Robbins
He was the only real friend I ever had.
