Easy Rider (1969) - full transcript

Two young "hippie" bikers, Wyatt and Billy sell some dope in Southern California, stash their money away in their gas-tank and set off for a trip across America, on their own personal odyssey looking for a way to lead their lives. On the journey they encounter bigotry and hatred from small-town communities who despise and fear their non-conformism. However Wyatt and Billy also discover people attempting 'alternative lifestyles' who are resisting this narrow-mindedness, there is always a question mark over the future survival of these drop-out groups. The gentle hippie community who thank God for 'a place to stand' are living their own unreal dream. The rancher they encounter and his Mexican wife are hard-pushed to make ends meet. Even LSD turns sour when the trip is a bad one. Death comes to seem the only freedom. When they arrive at a diner in a small town, they are insulted by the local rednecks as weirdo degenerates. They are arrested on some minor pretext by the local sheriff and thrown in jail where they meet George Hanson, a liberal alcoholic lawyer. He gets them out and decides to join them on their trip to New Orleans in time for Mardi Gras.

- Good morning.
- Good friend.

I didn't think you'd
come. How are you?

What the hell, I
never believed it.

No?

People always says they're coming,
but they're only talking.

- Ok, but we're here now.
- The others won't get anything.

Okay.

This is good stuff, guys.
Cleaner than clean.

- Sure, cleaner than clean.
- Good.

Pure life, brother.

Yes, pure life.



Good.

Give it to me... That
was all, wasn't it?

- Thank you.
- Sure. You're always welcome.

- Thank you.
- Okay.

- Thank you.
- Okay.

Hey. Billy.

Oh, man. Don't do that.

Howdy.

What can I do for you?

I'd like to fix my flat,
if you don't mind.

No, I don't mind.

If you get in the barn there,
you'll find any tools you need.

Whoa, baby. Hold on.

Now turn that thing off. You're
making my horse skittish.

Yeah.

That sure is a
good-looking machine.

Yeah.

Whew.

There you go.

Hey, you fellas can sit down here.

Huh.

Would you mind,

We thank thee, O Lord,
for these, thy gifts...

received from thy bounty...

in the name of thy only begotten
Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

L.A.

L.A?

Los Angeles.

Los Angeles. Is that a fact?

When I was a young man, I
was headed for California.

But... Well, you know how it is.

Well, you sure got a
nice spread here.

I sure got a lot of 'em.

My wife is Catholic, you know.

Honey, could we have
some more coffee?

No, I mean it. You've

It's not every man that can

Do your own thing
in your own time.

You should be proud.

Hey, man, what are you doing?

I gotta talk to you, man.

Hey, man, everything that we ever
dreamed of is in that teardrop gas

tank and you got a stranger over

there pouring
gasoline all over it.

Man, all he's got to
do is turn and look

over into it, man, and
he can see that...

He won't know what
it is, man. He won't

know what it is.
Don't worry, Billy.

Everything's all right.

All right, man. All
right. I don't know, man.

I do.

Everything's fine, Billy.

- Well...
- That's all taken care of.

I like that.

How much further we gotta go, man?

I don't know.

- Huh?
- Not much further.

That's what you said this morning.

I sometimes say it all day.

Really? You say it all day?

We don't have much longer.
We'll be there soon.

We gotta get to Mardi Gras,
man. We're going to Mardi Gras.

Your little heart is
set on that, huh?

We got a week. That's
a week away, man.

It's a long way to
Mardi Gras, baby.

It won't take us a week
to get to New Orleans.

Wow.

I think I'm gonna crash.

I think you have crashed, man.

I keep seeing things jumping
all over the place.

- Really?
- Yeah, look.

- What is it?
- It's a moth.

- A what?
- Yeah, man.

Moth. Bug.

It's a weird place, man.

Oh, man. That smoke's
getting to me.

But I notice you're not moving.

Where you from, man?

Can I... Can I have a light?

Where you from, man?

- Hard to say.
- It's hard to say?

Where you from, man?

Well, it's hard to say because
it's a very long word, you know?

I just want to know
where you're from, man.

A city.

From a city.

Doesn't make any difference what
city. All cities are alike.

- That's why I'm out here now.
- That's why you're out here now?

- Yeah.
- Why?

Because I'm from the city,
a long way from the

city, and that's where I
want to be right now.

They know you in this place?

This place we're coming to?

- No. Here.
- The place we're at now?

This place.

You're right on top of 'em.

- I'm right on top of 'em?
- Yeah.

The people this place belongs
to are buried right under you.

You could be a trifle polite.

"A trifle polite"?

A small thing to ask.

You ever want to be somebody else?

I'd like to try Porky Pig.

I never wanted to be anybody else.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

It's a dumbbell.

- Bam, bam. Ah.
- We got you.

Pow Pow Pow.

Pow Pow Pow Pow Pow.

You can't hit me. I'm
invisible. I'm invisible.

Hey, Sarah. How's it going?

Hey, Rudolph, what are you eating?

Thanks for the stuff you brought.

How's it going?

We just can't take
any more strangers.

Just too many people dropping in.

Oh, I'm not talking about you and
your friends. You know that.

Like the week before...

Susan dropped in with 12
people from Easter City.

She wanted to take 10
pounds of rice with her.

Yeah?

Well, naturally we had to say no.

- Right.
- So she gets all uptight...

and she breaks out some hash,
and she won't give us any.

Oh, and that's not
all. The next morning,

they went outside to
start their bus...

and they couldn't get it started.

Sarah, I bet you
haven't had anybody

around like me to
rap to, have you?

I don't have to tell you
how it is, Sarah. You

know I love you, and
I want you to rap...

Oh, God, I want you
to rap, rap, rap.

Cut that out

I guess nobody else
here is interested,

but, I would sure like
to meet your friend.

I'll bet you'd like
to do more than that.

- I think he's beautiful.
- He's beautiful.

Hey, what is that, weird thing
up there on the hill, man?

Looks like a stage.
You got a light

opera company here or something?

That's the mime
troupe stage. They've

gone down to the hot
springs to bathe.

Mime troupe?

- Hey, Lisa?
- Oh.

What does this mean?
"Starting brings misfortune.

- "Perseverance brings danger."
- Ta-da.

"Not every demand
for change in the"

existing order should be heeded.

"On the other hand, repeated
and well-founded complaints...

- "should not fail to a hearing."
- Well...

Hear ye. Hear ye. Hear ye.

We've come to play for our dinner.

Or should I say,
stay for our dinner.

Or, even, slay for our dinner.

Oh, men at war. How
ghastly, ghastly.

Ah.

We've come to drink your wine...

taste your food and take
pleasure in your women.

It's fantastic. The water in
that river is about 80 degrees.

You put your hand in about a
foot away, it's below freezing.

Come on. I've gotta get dinner on.

Out? Who said "out" to me? Unhand
me I've played communal...

Out Out Out.

Ye shall hear this.
Evil eye on this place.

A double whammy for all of you.

When you lie down with dogs,
you get up with fleas.

Come, my dear. We won't play here.

You two, come on.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

- Wow.
- Wow.

Get out.

I like you.

You see, what happened
here is these

people got here late
in the summer...

too late to plant.

But the weather was
beautiful, and it was

easy living, and
everything was fine.

And then came that winter.

There were 40 or 50
of them here living

in this one-room
place down here...

nothing to eat, starving,
out by the side

of the road looking
for dead horses.

Anything they could get a
hold of. Now there's...

there's 18 or 20 of 'em left,
and they're city kids.

Look at 'em.

But they're getting
this crop in. They're

gonna stay here till
it's harvested.

That's the whole thing.

You get much rain here, man?

I guess we're gonna
have to dance for that.

Look at this, man. A
seashell, man. Dig.

You dig that?

This is nothing but
sand. They ain't gonna

make it. Ain't gonna
grow anything here.

They're gonna make it.

Dig, man.

They're gonna make it.

Shh, Jessie.

We have planted our seeds.

We ask...

that our efforts be worthy...

to produce simple food...

for our simple taste.

We ask that our efforts...

be rewarded.

We thank you for the food
we eat from other hands...

that we may share it
with our fellow man...

and be even more generous...

when it is from our own.

Thank you for a place...

to make a stand.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Amen.

Let's eat.

Hal Hark ye, gentles.
Hark ye, all.

Time has come for a curtain call.

Ah.

quarter this.

You know, this could
be the right place.

Your time's running out.

Hey, man. Hey.

If we're going, we're
going. Let's go.

Yeah, I'm...

I'm hip about time.

But I just gotta go.

"Parading without a permit"?
You gotta be kidding.

I mean, do you know
who this is, man?

This is Captain
America. I'm Billy.

Hey, we're headliners, baby.

We've played every fair in
this part of the country.

I mean for top dollar too.

Oh, man.

Man.

Weirdo hicks, man.

A bunch of weirdo hicks here.

"Parading without a permit," man.

Ah. Oh, no. What did I do now?

Oh.

Oh, what am I gonna do now?

Oh, my head.

Oh.

All right, now, George,
what are you gonna do now?

I mean, you promised
these people, now.

You promised these people, and
you promised these people.

They're not gonna
believe you, George.

Hey Hey, man, would you mind?

- You just woke my friend up.
- Oh, yeah.

Well, I'm...

I'm real sorry. I didn't realise.

I...

I didn't realise.

My head.

Hey, man, if you don't
shut your mouth,

man, you ain't gonna have a head.

I see you're up,
Mr. Hanson. You'll

feel a lot better after this.

Oh. Oh.

Thank you, Bob.

I guess I...

I guess I really tied
one on last night.

Must've had a hell of a good time.

Wish I could remember it now.

Hey, man, you don't...
you don't think

you could get me a
cigarette, do you?

You animals ain't smart
enough to play with fire.

Oh, no, no, no. That's
all right, Bob.

That's all right.
They're good boys.

You can give 'em a cigarette.

Thanks, mister.

- You got a match?
- Yeah.

Thank you, Bob.

Listen, I'm...

You know, I'm sorry about... you
know, the misunderstanding.

Oh, that's all right. There's
no misunderstanding.

We're all in the same cage here.

You must be some important
dude, man, like,

you know, with that
treatment, right?

"Dude"?

What does he mean,
"dude"? "Dude ranch"?

- Dude?
- No, no, no.

"Dude" means, a
nice guy. You know?

"Dude" means a regular
sort of person.

You boys don't look like you're
from this part of the country.

You're lucky I'm here to see that
you don't get into anything.

- Anything?
- Well...

They got this here, see...

"scissor-happy, beautify America"
thing going on around here.

They're trying to make everybody
look like Yul Brynner.

They used rusty razor
blades on the last

two longhairs that they
brought in here...

and I wasn't here to protect them.

See, I'm a...

I'm a lawyer.

Done a lot of work
for the A.C.L.U.

"George Hanson."

Listen, you think you can help us
get out of here with no sweat?

I imagine that I can if you
haven't killed anybody.

At least nobody white.

See there? Twenty-five
dollars. Not too bad.

And no razor blades.
You know what I mean?

- Very groovy, George. Thank you.
- "Very groovy." Very groovy.

See there? I'll bet nobody
ever said that to you.

Oh, by the way, Bob, thanks
for the aspirin before.

George, I'm getting to...

I'm getting to think you're a
regular regular around here.

I'm not gonna tell your dad.

I don't know, George. You
just gotta be more careful.

Yeah, well, Pat, that'd
be real good if the

powers that be wouldn't
hear about this.

I mean, the old man
hadn't been feeling

too good. You know what I mean?

Well, now, George, you know we
won't tell your dad about that.

- Isn't that right, Bob?
- That's right.

Well, what do you say
we take a look...

at these super machines we've
been hearing so much about?

Let's get it on.

Thanks a lot, Bob. See you later.

I'll take care of it later.
Don't worry about it.

Goodbye. All right, Carl.

Thanks a million. Say hello to
the missus for me, will you?

- Yes, sir.
- All right.

Here's the first of
the day, fellas.

To old D.H. Lawrence.

Nik Nik Nik.

Phff Phff Phff

Indians.

You know...

I must've started off to Mardi
Gras six or seven times.

Never got further
than the state line.

Governor of Louisiana
give me this.

"Madame Tinkertoy's
House of Blue Lights.

Corner of Bourbon and Toulouse.
New Orleans, Louisiana."

Now, this is supposed to be the
finest whorehouse in the South.

These ain't no pork chops.

These are US prime.

Out of sight, man.

Oh, I'd like to get over there.

How long...

How long did you boys say it was
gonna take you to get down there?

- Oh, about two or three days.
- Two or three days? That right?

Oh, boy, I sure wish I
was going with you.

Yeah?

You got a helmet?

Oh. Oh, I've got a helmet.

I got a beauty.

Well, old buddy, I never thought
I'd ever see you again.

You know, I threw this
thing away one week ago.

My mother, of all
people, retrieved

it. I can't understand that.

She didn't even want
me to play football.

Always afraid I was
gonna get hurt.

And here, 12 years later,
I find it on my pillow...

with a note pinned next to it
saying, "Save this for your son."

Nik, Nik...

Nik Fire.

Do this instead.

Oh, no, thanks. I got some,

store-bought right
over here of my own.

No, man, this is grass.

You... You mean marijuana?

Yeah.

Lord, have mercy. Is
that what that is?

Let me see that.

Marijuana.

Go ahead, George. Light it up.

Oh, no, no, no, no.
I couldn't do that.

I mean, I've got enough problems

with the... with
the booze and all.

I mean, I can't
afford to get hooked.

Oh, no. You won't get hooked.

Yeah, well, I know. But I mean,
it leads to harder stuff.

Is that... You say it's all right?

Well, all right then.
Well, how do I do it?

Here.

Wait a second.

Well, that's got a real
nice, taste to it.

Though I don't suppose it'll
do me much good though.

I mean, I'm so used to the
booze and everything.

You've got to hold it in
your lungs longer, George.

Oh.

Oh, wow.

What... was that, man?

What the hell was that, man?

Huh?

No, man. Like, hey,
man. Wow. I was

watching this object, man, like...

like the satellite that we
saw the other night, right?

And, like, it was just going right
across the sky, man, and then...

I mean, it just suddenly...

It just changed direction and
went, whizzing right off, man.

It flashed...

You're stoned out
of your mind, man.

Oh, yeah, man. Hey, like,
I'm stoned, you know, man.

But, like, you know, I
saw a satellite, man...

and it was going across the sky...

and it flashed three
times at me...

and zigzagged and
whizzed off, man.

And I saw it.

That was a U.F.O.
beaming back at you.

Me and Eric Heisman was down
in Mexico two weeks ago.

We seen 40 of 'em
flying in formation.

They... They have got bases all
over the world now, you know.

They've been coming
here ever since 1946...

when the scientists first started

bouncing radar beams
off the moon...

and they have been
living and working

among us in vast
quantities ever since.

The government knows
all about 'em.

What are you talking, man?

Well, you just seen one
of 'em, didn't you?

Hey, man, I saw something, man,
but I didn't see it working here.

You know what I mean?

Well, they are people
just like us...

from within our own
solar system...

except that their society
is more highly evolved.

I mean, they don't have no wars.
They got no monetary system.

They don't have any
leaders because,

I mean, each man is a leader.

I mean, each man... Because
of their technology...

they are able to feed, clothe,
house and transport themselves...

equally and with no effort.

Wow.

Well, you know something, man?

I think... You wanna
know what I think?

I think this is a crackpot
idea. That's what I think.

How about that? How
about a little of that?

I think it's a crackpot idea.

I mean, if they're so
smart, why don't they just

reveal themselves to us
and get it over with?

Why don't they reveal
themselves to us...

is because, if they did, it
would cause a general panic.

Now, I mean, we still
have leaders...

upon whom we rely for the
release of this information.

These leaders have decided to
repress this information...

because of the
tremendous shock that it

would cause to our
antiquated systems.

Now, the result of this has
been that the Venusians...

have contacted people
at all walks of life.

All walks of life. Yes.

It would be a devastating blow
to our antiquated systems.

So now Venusians are meeting with
people in all walks of life...

in an advisory capacity.

For once, man will have a godlike
control over his own destiny.

He will have a chance to
transcend and to evolve...

with some equality for all.

How's your joint, George?

Oh, my. I believe... I

I got... I got to talking so
much, I clean forgot about...

Went out.

Well, save it. We'll
do it tomorrow

morning, first thing, all right?

Gives you a whole new way
of looking at the day.

Well, I sure could use that.

Yes, I sure could use
a little of that.

What the hell is
this? Troublemakers?

You name it. I'll throw
rocks at it, Sheriff.

You all, check what
just walked in.

Ooh, I like the one in the red
shirt with the suspenders.

The white shirt's for me.

Nah. Look how tight
those black pants are.

We're in the establishment
now, aren't we, gentlemen?

- What'd you say?
- I said... tang.

- What?
- I said... tang.

Tang?

Oh, I just can't believe.
What are they doing here?

Look at the teeth around his neck.

Did they drive up on motorcycles?

I think they know
we're talking about

'em. They're looking over here.

Hot damn. I tell you.

I think I'll order
kidneys, because I left

mine out there on
the road somewhere.

I don't know, but I like his
hair all down his head.

And I like his eyes.

See that little girl right
over there in the corner?

Well, don't look too close at her,

because the sheriff's
right over there.

You know what I mean?

Check that joker
with the long hair.

I checked him already.

Look like we might
have to bring 'em up

to the Hilton before
it's all over with.

- Ha I think she's cute.
- Isn't she though?

I guess we'll put 'em in a
woman's cell, don't you reckon?

Oh, I think we oughta
put 'em in a cage

and charge a little
admission to see 'em.

Those are what is known
as, country witticisms.

I can't believe they're here.
What are they doing here?

I don't know. Let's ask
them to take us for a ride.

No, we can't ask Don't be foolish.

Yeah.

No. They'll think you're... Oh
They'll laugh in your face.

- That'd be good too.
- I doubt it.

- I might ask 'em.
- You might ask 'em? Go ahead.

Not when I'm around,
you're not gonna ask 'em.

- I don't think you're gonna.
- Go ahead.

- Okay.
- Go ahead.

You know, I thought at first
that bunch over there...

their mothers had maybe been

frightened by a bunch
of gorillas...

but now I think they were caught.

Well, one of 'em is Alley Oop, I
think, from the beads on him.

One of 'em, darn
sure, is not Oola.

Look like a bunch of refugees
from a gorilla love-in.

A gorilla couldn't love that.

Nor could a mother.

Doggone it, I wouldn't
even mate him up

with one of those black
wenches out there.

Oh, now, I don't know about that.

And that's about as low as
they come, I'll tell you.

- Oh, he's a biggie.
- Man, they're green.

No, they're not green. They white.

- White?
- Huh.

Man, you're colour-blind.
I just got to say that.

Sure like to get some
food around here.

I don't know. I thought most
jails were built for humanity...

and that won't quite qualify.

Wonder where they got
those wigs from.

They probably grew 'em. Looks like
they're standing in fertiliser.

Nothing else would grow on 'em.

No. You know, I'm not real
hungry at the moment.

You know what I mean?

I saw two of 'em one time.
They were just kissing away.

Two males. Just think of it.

What you think we
oughta do with 'em?

I don't never know, but I don't

think they'll make
the parish line.

Let's split.

- Split?
- Yeah.

Yes, sir. It certainly
has been nice.

They got some fancy bikes out
there. That's some Yankee queers.

Check the flag on that bike.

It sure is.

I still say they're not
gonna make the parish line.

Here come the poon-poon-poontang.

Hey, fellas, can I have a ride?

- You want a ride?
- Yeah. Yeah.

You got a note from your mamas?

My old lady won't mind.

Please? Please let us have a ride.

Hey, I like your bike.

I wouldn't mind giving you a ride.

Oh.

The man is at the window.

The man is at the window.
The man is at the window.

- Oh, come on.
- Oh, the man is at the window.

I love you girls. I'd love to
take you girls for a ride, but...

You know, this used to be
a hell of a good country.

I can't understand what's
gone wrong with it.

Man, everybody got chicken.
That's what happened to it.

Hey, we can't even get into,
like, a second-rate hotel.

I mean, a second-rate
motel, you dig?

They think we're gonna cut their
throat or something, man.

- Like, they're scared, man.
- Oh, they're not scared of you.

They scared of what
you represent to 'em.

Hey, man, all we
represent to them,

man, is somebody who
needs a haircut.

Oh, no. What you represent
to them is freedom.

What the hell's wrong
with freedom man?

That's what it's all about.

Oh, yeah, that's right. That's
what it's all about, all right.

But talking about it and being
it... that's two different things.

I mean, it's real
hard to be free...

when you are bought and
sold in the marketplace.

Course, don't ever tell anybody
that they're not free...

because then they gonna get real
busy killing and maiming...

to prove to you that they are.

Oh, yeah, they gonna talk to you
and talk to you and talk to you...

about individual freedom.

But they see a free individual,
it's gonna scare 'em.

Well, man, it don't make
'em running scared.

No. It makes 'em dangerous.

Nik, Nik Nik, Nik

Nik Nik Swamp.

Damn, right, man. Damn... Whew.

Swamp.

- Swamp.
- Swamp.

- Swamp?
- Swamp.

You... You ever...

You ever talk to bullfrogs
in the middle of the night?

Not generally.

- You don't...
- No, man.

You know what I used to do?

What did you used to do, man?

Well, I'll tell you one thing
I didn't used to do...

was talk to bullfrogs in the
middle of the night, fool.

Shit. You're out of your mind.

That's right.

Hey, man, you okay?

Oh, no. Sh... Sh...

What are we gonna do with
his stuff, man? Huh?

Get it to his folks somehow.

There's not much here,
man. There's some...

There's some money, man. There's
his driver's licence, man.

There's a... Oh, man,

Was crucified, died
and was buried.

- He descended into hell.
- Oh, Mother.

One the third day, he arose
again from the dead.

Mother, why didn't you tell me?

He ascended into
heaven and sitteth

at the right hand of God...

the Father Almighty, Creator
of heaven and earth.

Why didn't anybody
tell me anything?

I believe in God, the
Father Almighty,

Creator of heaven and earth...

What are you doing to me?

And in Jesus Christ, his
only Son, our Lord...

- Why didn't you tell me?
- Shut up.

Who was conceived by
the Holy Ghost...

born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate...

was crucified, died
and was buried.

He descended into hell. The third
day, he arose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven
and sitteth at the

right hand of God,
the Father Almighty.

From thence, he shall come to
judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost,
the Holy Catholic Church...

the Communion of Saints,
the forgiveness of sins...

Why did you do such a thing to me?

The resurrection of the body
and life everlasting, amen.

How could you do it?

Glory be to the Father and to the
Son and to the Holy Ghost...

How could you make
me hate you so much?

As it was in the beginning,

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women and

blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.

Make me love you.
