[backstage, dressed in a black leather suit, about to get ready to appear in front of a live audience]
What's going on, Elvis?
I'm sorry, Steve. I can't do it, man. I can't go on.
This whole thing was just a bad idea. I haven't played in front of the live audience in more than seven years, man. I don't know if I can do it anymore. What if they don't like me?
"Don't like you?" Oh my God... Elvis, you created rock 'n roll. You're the King. You step out there, your gonna be King again.
SM Scotty Moore
It's just like riding a bike, Elvis. Once you get on stage it's gonna be like old times.

SM Scotty Moore
[on Elvis's break-up from Dixie]
I'm sorry, man.
SM Scotty Moore
Well, I guess that's true.
You know I have a twin brother?
Jesse Garon. He died when I was born. I still talk to him sometimes. And that's why I think I got such good rhythm. You know I had a back beat there in the whom. Two hearts beating.
Me and Jesse. And that's why momma frets so. She's just...afraid she's gonna lose me too.
SM Scotty Moore
That's not gonna happen. I promised your momma I would take care of you.
And you have, man. And I appreciate that.
SM Scotty Moore
I know you do. Let's get outta here. C'mon.
BB Bill Black
Imagine us on the Dorsey Brother's Stage Show.
SM Scotty Moore
Imagine us being on TV the same time as Perry Como.
RW Red West
That Perry Como's a square, man.
What are you talking about? I like Perry Como, you son of a bitch.
SM Scotty Moore
It's just like riding a bike, Elvis. Once you get out there on stage, it's gonna be like old times. Look, I just went out there. Those are your fans, Elvis. You can't let 'em down. You've never let the fans down.
SM Scotty Moore
And some of 'em are lookers, Elvis, I ain't gonna lie to you. If nothing else, just do it for me. It'll be one of the few times I get to play to your face instead of your ass.
SM Scotty Moore
[during the sit-down session]
Hey, Elvis, sing me that song about "Lawdy Miss Clawdy".
[short pause]
Now twelve years I've been on stage with this man, and this is the first word he's ever said to me. First word. [they laugh] And for that now I'm gonna take his guitar. Come on, Scotty, give it up.
SM Scotty Moore
[laughs, he and Elvis switch guitars]
That's all I got to say.
