Scenes with Sal Amato
3 scenes Sal Amato Sal Amato [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.
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?
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.
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.
[to Eddie]
Are you crazy? We had the money in our hands and you blew it. You blew it! [Eddie pushes him far back]
Sal Amato Eddie, you're wrong! You're wrong! Now listen to me, I love you. I've known you longer than anyone else. But you're wrong. They want "On the Dark Side"! Why are we giving them some damn opera? I don't even know what you're after!
I want something great. I want something that nobody's ever done before!
Sal Amato Why? We ain't great. We're just some guys from Jersey.
If we can't be great, than there's no sense in ever playing music again, Sal.
Sal Amato [Joann follows Eddie as he leaves the studio] [to Frank]
Blame this on you. It was you! We were doing good till you came along. And you got us all screwed up!
