If I were God, man...



UN TRAM CHE SI CHIAMA DESIDERIO HA SEGNATO LA MIA VITA.
(TUTTO SU MIA MADRE di Pedro Almodòvar)





"If I were God, man...
And sometimes I think I am...
'Depends on the shit you're smoking...'
OK. If I were God, man,
everybody would live for ever.
No death, man.
No pennies on the eyes for anybody."



WE CAN'T HAVE THAT ON A STAGE



And he came to believe that work,
show business, love, his whole life,
even himself, and all that jazz, was bullshit.
He became numero uno game player,
to the point where he didn't know
where the games ended and reality began.
Like, to this cat, the only reality...
is death, man.



"Dreams can come true again
Well, everything old is new again
I said everything old is new again"



"The glitter rubs right off
and you're nowhere"

Edith Piaf - Non Je Ne Regrette Rien Lyrics

Non, Rien De Rien, Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien
Ni Le Bien Qu'on M'a Fait, Ni Le Mal
Tout Ca M'est Bien Egal
Non, Rien De Rien, Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien
C'est Paye, Balaye, Oublie, Je Me Fous Du Passe

Avec Mes Souvenirs J'ai Allume Le Feu
Mes Shagrins, Mes Plaisirs,
Je N'ai Plus Besoin D'eux
Balaye Les Amours Avec Leurs Tremolos
Balaye Pour Toujours
Je Reparas A Zero

Non, Rien De Rien, Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien
Ni Le Bien Qu'on M'a Fait, Ni Le Mal
Tout Ca M'est Bien Egal
Non, Rien De Rien, Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien
Car Ma Vie, Car Me Joies
Aujourd'hui Ca Commence Avec Toi

  Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien



"To be on the wire is life. The rest... is waiting."




"Take off with us
Take off with us
We're warmin' up so
We're warmin' up
NY to LA
Going all the way
Won't you climb aboard
You'll ride as smooth as glass
Glass
Meet our friendly, eager crew
They only live to service you
Service, service, service you
This flight, this flight comes complete
With your choice of seat
And any seat you grab will be first class
Up there, where the clouds are pillowy
You're as close to heaven
as you'll ever be
Lean back, relax
Here come the snacks
Drop your diet, have a fall
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop with one
Try 'em all
Try 'em all
The music's ready to begin
Take out your headset, plug it in
What's your answer, chum?
Are you gonna come?
On the coolest, hottest
Coolest, hottest
Coolest, hottest trip that's ever been
Lean back, relax"

-Thanks, thanks a lot, but it's not exactly over yet. Murray?
- Smoke, smoke. Smoke... Smoke...
-The lights go down and a light comes up over there.

"Welcome. Welcome aboard Air Rotica.
Take off with us
Flying not only coast to coast...
...but anywhere your desires
and fantasies wish to take you.
Take off with us
Let us all get to know one another.
Remember, we can take you anywhere."

- They're taking their clothes off.
- Mm-hm.

"Just reach out your hand
and introduce yourselves.
- My name is Sam.
- My name is Otto.
- My name is Jennifer.
- My name is Rima.
- Gary.
- John."

- Uh-oh. I think we just lost the family audience.

- My name is Candace.
- My name is Jennifer.
- My name is Rima.
- My name is Danny.
- My name is Autumn.
- My name's Sandahl.
- My name is John.
- My name is Gary.
And don't forget about
our group fun, fun, fun plan.

-Now Sinatra will never record it.

Then an actor comes out
from the side of the stage and says...
- "Not once, during any of our flights..."
- Goodbye.
- See you around.
- Hope to see you again real soon.
"...of any real human communication".
- Well, uh...
- Goodbye.
"Our motto is: we take you
everywhere, but get you nowhere".



Boy, I hate to hurt his feelings, but we can't have that on a stage.



"I have always depended on the kindness of strangers"

  jazz age



When trumpets... were mellow
And everyone only had one fellow
No need to remember when
Cos everything old is new again
I said everything old is new again
Dancin'at your... Long Island
jazz-age parties
Waiter, let me have some more Bacardis
Let's order now what they ordered then
Cos everything old is new again
- Get out your white suit, tap shoes and tails
- Scoop, scoop...
- Let's go backward when forward fails
- Strut.
Movie stars that you thought are long-dead
- Now are framed beside your bed
- Look familiar, Joe?
Don't throw the past away
You might need it some rainy day
Dreams can come true again
Cos everything old is new again
I said everything old is new again
Get out your white suit,
your tap shoes and tails
Let's go backward when forward fails
Leave Greta Garbo alone
- Go get him!
- Be a movie star on your own
And don't throw... don't throw the past away
Oh, we're all gonna need it some rainy day
Dreams can come true again
Well, everything old is new again
I said everything old is new again
