On a fuckin' Suzuki? Jaysis! He can play. That's for sure. - The Lord doesn't like it if we whisper.|- Why? Is he deaf? I didn't join this band to sing|Moon fuckin' River. It's merely my favourite lip-loosener. We'll be playin' soul. See, the Lord told me the Irish brothers|needed some soul. Well, Ed Winchell, a Baptist reverend on Lenox Avenue|in Harlem, told me. But the Lord told him to tell me. He said the Irish brothers wouldn't be|shootin' the arses off each other if they had... soul. I can't figure him out, Jimmy. He talks|like a priest and he's wearin' slippers! He's played with all the greats.|Even The Beatles. - The Beatles?|- Yeah. All you need is love! Da-da-da-da-da! That was Joey. - What's Steven Clifford doin' here? He's...|- What? A medical student.|He's not like the rest of us. Could be useful to have someone|that could bandage heads. I'm worried about|the direction we're takin'. Direction?! What magazines|you been readin', yeh tosser? Look, with Joey and me,|we can touch greatness. So if you want to be part of it, take in|the tea, and I'll bring in the Jaffa Cakes. - It's the fuckin' Addams Family!|- The Addams Family! Hold on, girls.|I think I've got a ladder in me tights. Imelda! Come on! Who the fuck will be lookin' at|your fuckin' thigh, yeh fuckin' eejit! - Look at the size of that fuckin' doorknob!|- Fuckin' huge! I hope some o' these fuckin' fellas|are gonna be rides. - Are you sure this is the right place?|- I've never been here before! - Who told yeh? It was Jimmy, was it?|- Fuck, I don't know. Um... sorry. We were lookin' for a band. Oh! That's my boy Joey's.|They're out the back. Joey says no rehearsals till you get|friendly with your instruments. - Friendly with mine already.|- Shut up, Declan. Deco. If I'm gonna front the band,|I like the sound o' Deco. Deco the bus conductor.|Is that top Deco or bottom Deco? The only bollixin' thing that's important|is what this band's called. Joey knows. Tell them. We are... We are... At the end of the garden|you'll find a ladder. - A ladder?|- Yes. - Right. Thank you.|- You're welcome, girls. - What are yeh gettin' us into, Bernie?|- Fuck off, Natalie! We've come this far! Over here? Over the top! Over the top! I'm not goin' over the fuckin' ladder!|You're over the fuckin' ladder! You know 'em. You go. The Commitments? - The Commitments?|- The Commitments? It's a "The". How do you spell it? T-H-E.

The Commitment-tits, yeh mean! Brilliant management, Brother Rabbitte. Will they be dressed in black? What are you bleedin' lookin' at? Destination anywhere East or west, I don't care Destination anywhere East or west, I don't care Destination anywhere East or west, I don't care Destination anywhere East or west, I don't care From now on, I don't want you listenin'|to Guns N' Roses an' The Soup Dragons. I want a strict diet of James Brown for|the growls, Otis Redding for the moans, Smokey Robinson for the whines,|and Aretha for the whole lot put together. - Jimmy says soul is sex.|- Dirty bastard! I said the rhythm of soul|is the rhythm of ridin'. You want us to sing as if|we were ridin'with someone? You can practise with me. I'd bite your bollix off, yeh spotty fuck! - Might fancy that.|- Or make earrings out o' them! Soul is the rhythm of sex.|Rhythm of the factory, too. The working man's rhythm.|Sex and the factory. Not in the factory I'm in.|Not much rhythm in guttin' fish! Soul is the music that people understand.|It's basic and it's simple. But it's somethin' else. Somethin' special.|Cos... cos it's honest. It's honest. There's no fuckin' bullshit. It says it straight from the heart. There's lots of music yeh can get off on,|but... soul is more than that. It takes yeh somewhere else. It grabs you|by the balls and lifts you above the shite. Said to the man at the railroad station I want a ticket Just for one He said: Well, if you insist But where you wanna go, miss? Oh-oh Destination anywhere East or west, I don't care You see, my baby don't|want me no more And this old world ain't got No back door Howayeh, Duffy? This is Jimmy. Howayeh? - Glad that dog's got a muzzle.|- Have to. He keeps eatin' me bunnies. - So you've got a band?|- Yeah. I don't know why you bother. Everything's|shite since Roy Orbison died. - What are yeh short of?|- I need a power amp, speakers, a desk, an' a few bits and pieces. It's all here in the... note. That's no problem. How are yeh payin'? I can give you 50 now,|some when we get the gear, an' the rest when we do our first gig. Most bands in Dublin don't last|more than one gig, son. - D'yeh need anythin' else? Bit o' blow?|- No. Oh, me ma would like one o' those things|that wakes you up with a cup o' tea. Nowhere to run to, baby Nowhere to hide Got nowhere to run to, baby Nowhere to hide It's not love I'm runnin' from Just the heartbreak I know will come Cos I know you're no good for me I'm black an' I'm proud. Everywhere I go Your face I see Every step I take You take with me, yeah Each night as I sleep Into my heart You creep I wake up feelin' sorry I met you Hopin' soon that I'll forget you When I look in the mirror To comb my hair I see your face just smilin' there, yeah Nowhere to run to, baby Nowhere to hide Got nowhere to run to, baby Nowhere to hide I know you're no good for me But you've become a part of me - What? When can I stop?|- When your hand falls off. How can I fight a love That shouldn't be?

Look at him! - He eats like a pig.|- He's such a prick! Hasn't got the voice of a prick, though.|Joey says it belongs to God. God should ask for it back. - I suppose Jimmy'll groom him.|- Teach him to use a knife and fork. - Are you all choir girls, then?|- What if we are? Well, you've got fair voices,|but you're not putting much of that into it. Good Jaysis! All mouth and bollix! - I bet he's never done the business.|- I bet he does it every night. Get me share. That's why you don't play guitar. You've|lost the muscles in your right hand! Are yeh doin' what I told you? Are you|thinkin' of that reed as a woman's nipple? - I am, yeah.|- Do you mind me askin' who she is? She lives across the street from me. But I|feel embarrassed. She's still at school. Maybe you should set|your sights a little higher. My trumpet was always Gina Lollobrigida. - I've never heard of her.|- A fine woman! I could try, uh... Kim Basinger. Is she...? Ohh! Yeah! Good. Pick a nipple and try it again.

And he handed her back to me|and he said... he said... "Joey The Lips, please forgive my daddy." Jaysis! Tell me something, Joey.

Can we talk?|- Sure! Go somewhere a bit quieter, yeah? Midnight hour Exactly, Jimmy. Eejit Records is a small|label, but we're good because we care. No money upfront, but we'll pay for|an engineer and studio time for a day. Sounds brilliant! I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour Midnight hour That's when my love|comes tumblin' down Midnight hour I'm gonna wait Wait Midnight hour That's when my love begins to shine Midnight hour Just you and I Wait Midnight hour Just you and I Wait Midnight hour Just you and I Wait Midnight hour You and I Wait Midnight hour Just you and I Yeah Yeah...! - We were good, Steven, weren't we?|- Fuckin' deadly! - Hey, Joey, what about tha'!|- We were brilliant! - Not tossers, wha'?|- I was good, wasn't I? - You were good?|- My chords was good! - Give it to Natalie! She had him first!|- I'd piss in his helmet if I was you! Fuckin' take it! You're the one that had your fuckin'|tongue rammed down his throat! Can you believe this?|They're fightin' over the little fucker now! You started this!|You and your fuckin' dick! - I am gone.|- No one's had me! It's lmelda. She's such a prick teaser. Don't call me a fuckin' prick teaser! Give over, all o' yeh! I've said it before, and I'll|say it again. I'm very excited. But is there any problems with the band?|They were slaggin' you off a bit. No, no, no, Dave.|You know how it is in rock'n'roll. Once they get a taste,|they become overnight arseholes. Isn't everybody in rock'n'roll an arsehole! Except for management, that is. All right! All right! - Autographs now, is it?|- At least I can write me own name! You're a smart boy, yeah? Don't start me now. Don't fuckin' start me. Don't fuckin' start me! Don't start me! Don't start me! Don't... Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy, get up here!|They're murderin' each other! Bastard! Fucker!

Look, don't take it personally, Jimmy. They'll all come crawlin' back. They can crawl up their holes|for all I care! O sing unto the Lord a new song,|for he's done marvellous things. Psalm 98. You lied to me, Joey! I always bought|everythin' you told us! But you lied to me! I'm sorry you doubt me, Brother Rabbitte. In time you'll realise|what you've achieved. - I've achieved nothin'!|- You're missing the point! The success of the band was irrelevant! You raised their expectations of life!|You lifted their horizons! Sure, we could have been famous,|but that would have been predictable. This way it's poetry. It's a pisser is what it is, Joey. Hey, man... you know a nightclub|called Gallagher's? Yeah, it's just around the corner,|but it's closed now. Should we go back|to the hotel, Mr Pickett? OK. Fuck! So how did you feel at the time, Jimmy? Well, sick, I can tell yeh, Terry. What happened to everybody|after you split up? Well, all sorts of things, Terry. I still see Derek and Outspan.|They're still in the music business. Mostly in Grafton Street. I try to help them out whenever I can. And Bernie, last I heard, she was in|a country and western band. But you know Bernie. Nice girl,|but she had terrible taste in music. And, of course, Dean is still|playin' tossers' music. Although, I must admit,|he got quite good in the end. And Billy?|What happened to him, Jimmy? God knows, Terry. The last I heard, he'd|been kicked in the head shoeing a horse. Steven became a doctor, of course.|But he says he misses the music. Say... And Mickah? He has his own band,|believe it or not, Terry. Quite a success, considering|he should be locked up. Imelda married dopey Greg.|There's a kid on the way, apparently. He won't let her sing any more.|Shame, really. She had a nice voice. Deco got his recording contract.|He's an even bigger prick now. Oh! Excuse my language, Terry. How about Natalie, Jimmy? She became very successful,|as you know, Terry. Is it true about you and her? Don't believe all you read|in the papers, Terry! But, yes, it's true to say|we are fond of one another. And Joey?|What happened to him, Jimmy? Natalie saw his mum the other day, Terry.|She said she had a postcard from him. He was playin' with Joe Tex|on a North American tour. Only thing is, Terry, Joe Tex died in 1982. So, lookin' back, Jimmy, what have you learned from your|experience with The Commitments? Well, that's a tricky question, Terry.|But, as I always say, we skipped the light fandango,|turned cartwheels 'cross the floor. I was feelin' kinda seasick,|but the crowd called out for more. That's very profound, Jimmy!|What does it mean? I'm fucked if I know, Terry! All you've gotta do Is try a little tenderness Oh, yeah, baby Oh, yeah Squeeze her Don't you tease her Never leave her You got to You got to You got to You got to Try a little tenderness Yeah Oh, babe Oh Oh, yeah You got to Squeeze her Never leave her You got to You got to Got to, got to Got to, got to, got to, got to Try a little tenderness Yeah, yeah Oh, yeah Yeah, ye-ah!
