The Wild Angels (1966) - full transcript

Brian.

No. No, no, no, no.

Hey, where's Joe Kerns?

He's up there on the rig.

Hey, Loser.

Hey, man.

Yeah?

We found your cycle.

- Where?
- In Mecca.

Out of sight, man.

Where's Mecca?



It's out in the desert.

What's the matter with you?

You're supposed to be working.

I'm just talking to my buddy.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

What's with the Iron Cross?

You one of those dumb Angels?

Yeah. What's it to you?

Well, if you'd been at Anzio,

you'd know what that junk means.

You wouldn't wear

those Iron Crosses and have
Swastikas hanging all over you.

You want me to pull
your tooth out?

You don't like that, do you?



Hey, you guys.

What's going on up there?

Drop the wrench, Kerns.

All right, Kerns, you're through.

There's none of that
stuff on my crew.

Now, you get your
friend down from there

and don't come back.

We used to kill guys who
wore that kind of garbage.

Hey.

What you doing home so early?

I don't like nobody getting
uptight with me, man.

And that includes you.

Blap.

Blues?

What's the matter with him?

Nothing, man, you know.

His foreman got uptight.

The mother doesn't like him
getting messages at work.

So what did he do? Fire him?

Yeah, the fool fired me.
Hassled my mind, man.

You don't never get a
straight deal around here.

Are you kidding?

That's 4 jobs in 5 months.

We're never going to get
this place fixed up.

Who cares?

I do.

Come here. No.

Come here.

You know what? What?

We're going to be
riding out tomorrow.

How come?

How come? Because we're going
to get my chopper back.

Yeah?

How's that grab you?

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

This is highway patrol e-7-3
at mile 90 berdue highway.

Advise, the Angels
are running south.

Where do you think you're going?

Anywhere but here.

You can bet your
sweet life on that.

Hey, come on, heavenly, let
me go with you to Mecca.

Hey, man. Dig monkey.

She wants to come and hassle
the Mexicans with us.

I didn't say that.

The man back there wanted to know

which one was the
high school dropout.

Hey, Blues. Hold it.

That was in colour, too.

Right.

- Let me go with you.
- No.

All right, everybody,

we race up to that
end of the canyon,

turn around, come back.

The first one gets mama monahan.

I'm ready.

Yeah.

Look over there.

Over behind that wall.

Look here.

What do you say, hoot?

Go on. Go on, you're free.

Come on, man, go.

Come on.

You ever seen anything like that?

Please, run.

Come on.

Most pitiful thing I ever saw.

He's free and he won't even go.

Look at this.

You got a friend for life.

What do you guys want?

Which one of you taco benders
stole an Angel's machine?

Nobody here stole nothing.

I'll remember you said that.

We're just going to take a look
around, if you don't mind.

Look here.

This here is my old
vl brake pedal.

One of you beaners told
a lie, didn't you?

I thought nobody
here stole nothing.

The man.

Hey, the man.

I'll follow them. You call in.

Where's the Loser going?

He'll be all right. He
can outride any heat.

No, man...

Electrical starters are
for sissies and cops.

So he said, "but, officer",

"if I knowed it was
injurious to my health,"

"I never would've
left the first one."

Hey, they're back.

Hey.

What happened?

They was spewing
pretty high, you know,

like they was big
men and they didn't

have to pluck chickens no more.

So we bit their heads.

It was out of sight,
man, when Blues says,

"come across with that
extra hard, mex."

And the mex says,

"please, don't hit
me in the face."

"We're simple people."

"We only take the
best coffee beans"

"for the very best blend."

There's dudes like them
all over the state

looking for trouble.

Yeah...

They're going to find it, too,
if they try to hassle us.

Because we got the power.

Hear. Hear.

Never pays to hassle the
man that has the power.

Blues. Blues, where's the Loser?

He'll be along.

You cats, you want to eat?

Yeah.

Blues. Blues, what
happened to the Loser?

We had to split
because of the heat.

Loser burned one of
the cops' bikes.

A police motorcycle?

Wow.

You got nothing to worry about.

He can outride the heat any day.

Maybe he went back to Pedro.

Yeah. I guess.

Want a drink, honey?

No, thanks.

You think he'll be okay?

How the hell would I know?

Hey, come here, honey.

Hey, what are you doing?

There's a rabbit.

Hey, let's get the rabbit.

Yeah.

We were only just dancing.

When... when you came back.

We were only just
dancing, ugly and me.

So?

In case you were
wondering, that's all.

I wasn't.

Okay. Forget it.

What's eating you?

What's eating you, you mean.

The Loser.

The Loser?

I thought you were sore at me.

What for?

Because of ugly.

I thought you... you were
thinking that I was...

And... Because of the way
I used to be and all.

You know, I just figured
that you thought I...

You talk too much.

Hey, toro, toro.

Yeow.

What do you say, baby?

Don't let it bug you.

We'll have a party.

No, thanks.

Look, Frankenstein, I
want to be alone, okay.

We're going to have a
ball, a little party.

Don't.

Baby, I said we're
going to have a party.

Frankenstein, get lost or the
Loser will take care of you.

Man, I got more than
the Loser ever had.

Blues.

Blues.

Frankenstein bothering you?

Hey, I just figured she
was lonely, Mr President.

But I guess she's not?

Adios.

I warned you about horse

get your hands off my
stuff. Give me that.

I told you.

Let's get out of here.

Party's over now.

Get on your bike.

What you been doing?

Robbing lobster pots.

What's happening?

Summit meeting.

Summit meeting.

Don't get none of that on me.

Say, "ah." Ah.

Hey, Loser made it
big. Did you read?

Yeah, we read.

Probably beat the hell out of him.

Must've.

I read he's in the emergency ward.

Give me a taste.

Go on, shoot, man.

I figure he's croaked.

They're trying to get his buddies?

They didn't snuff him yet.

What makes you think that?

It would be in the papers.

You think?

He ain't croaked yet, man.

Hey, your old man
hit the big time.

So you finally washed your hair.

Gaysh, you going to be a mama now?

Or my old lady?

A mama.

Blues...

Hold it, Gaysh.

Let him shoot.

He's going to clear the table.

Blues.

Come on, honey, have a drink.

Mike, we got to do something.

Keep cool, will you?

Listen, Mike, don't you
get uptight with me.

The Loser's in the hospital,

and they're going to take him
from there right into prison.

Cool?

You got a straight
cigarette on you?

Sure. Here.

Thanks.

I say we knock the place over.

Yeah, all right,
you knock it over?

It can't be done.

Besides... he's croaked.

Who says?

Who says he's croaked?

I says.

He don't know any more
than you do, baby.

I think it's righteous if
we go down there tomorrow

and knock the place over.

Just like that?

It can't be done.

It can be done.

If you're smart.

What you going to do, Blues?

Bust him out.

Yes?

Hello. I wonder if...

Which room is Joe
Kerns in, please?

Visiting hours are over.

I know...

And I'm afraid Mr Kerns
can't see anyone.

Well, you see, I...

Dear.

I'm his sister and I work.

I work in Los Angeles,

and I drove all the way
down here, because...

Is he very sick?

Would you wait here
a moment, please?

Are you the boy's sister?

Yes, sir.

Is he very sick?

We'd like to ask you
a few questions.

Yes, I know, but couldn't
I see him, please?

I drove all the way down
here from Los Angeles.

I work, you see, and I
have to be back tomorrow.

And Joey...

He's going to die, isn't he?

I told her that visiting
hours were over.

Well, I think it will be
all right for a minute.

This way.

Will you call the station

and have them send a couple
of detectives down here?

We've got a relative
of the suspect.

All right, but please don't
disturb the patient.

Just for a minute.

And be very quiet, now.

And just for a minute.

Yes.

Joey...

Joey.

He looks so pale.

He's lost a lot of blood.

Joey.

You better come on out now, miss.

No, miss, he's going
to be all right.

He's going to die, I know it.

She's an actress, your old lady.

Shut up.

Pigmy, give us a hand.

Joint, go cover the door,

in case some doc might come in.

She's a little upset.

You have something to help her?

I'll see.

Everything's going
to be okay, miss.

I'd like a drink of water, please.

If you'll just calm down.

We want to ask you
a few questions.

Take the bottle out.

No. Pigmy, you carry
that as we move him.

Come on, joint, give a hand.

Joint, cover the door.

Are you feeling better?

Yes, much.

Dump that bottle. That's
what's screwing things up.

No, no. He needs it.

Where's joint? Playing
footsie with the nurse.

Move him.

Go on, hold him.

She just looked up and
said, "go, baby."

Shut up.

Hey, man, get that
thing out of his arm.

It's giving me the willies.

Maybe we ought to take him back.

What do you think, Blues?

Shut up.

Cars 613 and 8,

respond to 182, an assault,

at Washington hospital. Urgent.

Hey, that's us.

Speed it up.

How's the beer holding out?

It's gone, mama.

Hey, baby, I need that
more than you do.

Did you have a good night, mama?

So. So what's it to you?

Come on, fellas, enough's enough.

I've had a very hard
night. Do you mind?

Clam up, sloppy.

Put him on the table.

He looks wasted.

Where the hell is medic?

Pigmy, go get medic.

What's happening?

Hey, man, that's the Loser.

Hell, get them out of here.

Come on, move back. He
can't even breathe.

Will you come on? Get back
out of here, will you?

Put the rag on his face again.

Okay, fellas, pick
them up and follow me.

You think you got to
bust him out now?

Let me through there.
Is he all right?

Joey?

Joey, honey?

Joey?

My god, he's out cold.

Joey?

Why didn't you just
leave him there?

Joey, honey? Joey?

All right, all of you.

Get back out of here,
will you, please?

Okay, fellas, come on.
Lift him up and follow me.

Mike, get him up.

Careful.

All right, would you get out?

Come on.

Put him over here.

Hey, don't bring him in here.

What's the matter with
you? Get out of here.

I just got my 3 kids asleep.

Come on, get out of here.

Get out of here.

Lousy, get that kid out of here.

You shut up.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I couldn't get my scooter started.

You sprung me.

You're beautiful.

Yeah, man, we sprung you.
You're straight now.

How are things shaping up?

Everything's cool, man.

Hi, baby.

Hi, honey.

How's my Joey?

Look... I broke my medal.

Ain't this pitiful?

We'll get you a new one.

Get him something to eat.

He don't want nothing.

- Get him a beer.
- Get him out of here.

Come on, cool it, will you?

Honey? Honey, you want anything?

Yeah.

I'd just... like to get high.

Would you turn off
that damn radio?

Now, look. I want each
and every one of you

to get out of my room.
Do you hear me?

Look, get out of here.

You all... really busted me out.

That includes you, joint.

He's wasted.

Take your time.

We've got plenty of Angels.

That's the one.

That's him.

There were more, but...

But that's the one I saw.

Over there?

You got the death certificate?

Yeah.

Where did you get this beauty?

What do you care? It's good?

It's a gem.

Who signed it, a vet?

What's funny?

A vet.

Just shut up, man.
Get him over there.

Something wrong with that?

Don't get excited.

I didn't say there was
anything wrong with it.

It just depends on
what goes with it.

What are your rates?

Well, now, what did
you have in mind?

Fix him up real good.

Send him in a hearse up to a
town called Sequoia Groves.

Lay him out in his colours.

Sequoia groves is 100 miles.

Cost you extra, you know.

Okay, okay, how much?

For the whole thing? Yeah.

$250... and up.

How up?

Well...

$350 up enough?

$450 would be fine, I think.

Try this. $400.

Plus tax.

Mustn't forget uncle
Sam, you know.

Fine, fine.

It was mighty nice doing
business with you.

Look, fellas, don't worry.

We'll take care of everything.

Police.

You got a warrant?

When was the last time
you saw Henry Blues?

1915.

Yeah, when we was all
in the Air Force.

We ain't seen Blues
since the party.

We heard he lit out for Mexico.

Who did you hear that from?

Well, there were these 2
old ladies on the bus.

Maybe they were his mother.

Non of you have got mothers.

You're a mother.

Mike?

Yeah, to hell with the cops. I
can't think about that now.

I blew the whole thing
for the Loser, baby.

What?

Shut up.

Listen, tell dear John

to get everybody over to
medic's boat in an hour.

Right.

All right, you guys.
Hurry up, will you?

Come on.

I'm going to say it one
time and that's it.

The funeral's tomorrow in
the Loser's home town.

We're going to roll at dawn.

Everybody flying his
colours except Blues,

because he's going
to hide out here.

That's a bad idea.

That's a real bad idea.

We're going tonight.

We're going to go up by ones
and twos on different roads.

You're not going to
wear your colours.

You're going to smile at the man.

Otherwise, they'll
bust the funeral.

Make it.

Okay... you heard the
Prez. Let's blow.

I might as well go?

Babe, if they get you, you know,

I won't let you take the rap.

Everything's fine, man.

Hey, I'm going to split.

If the heat comes, don't panic.

You can take my dinghy
and go to China.

Stay cool.

Gaysh.

No reason why you
couldn't have gone.

No reason.

It's all my fault, you know.

The whole thing.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

Do you still love me?

I don't know.

The United States offensive
north of Da Nang

continues against
heavy opposition.

The Vietcong has suffered...

"You left me lonely in the chapel"

Leave it on.

No.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

You see much?

Not a lot.

You think I ought to go up there?

I don't think.

Okay.

I only think you've
changed, Blues.

Since the Loser died, I mean.

It's like you went
with him or something.

What are you talking about?

I don't know. It's weird.

Look, I know he was
your friend and all,

but what about me?

What if I died?

Would it...

I wish we could just sail off,

just take off.

Blues...

Is it still you and me?

I don't know, Mike.

I'm going.

You going to make it?

Why not?

Hello, preach, I got
some business for you.

Dearly beloved...

Da da da-da da da.

"Here comes the Blues"

have a seat, man. You're going
to miss all the action here.

Come on, the show's beginning.

Dearly beloved, we
are gathered here

to pay our last respects
to a fine young man,

cut down in the
flower of his youth.

Joseph Karns was...

Kerns, dude.

What?

Kerns, dude.

Kerns. Kerns. Kerns.

Yes. Yes, I'm...

Joseph Kerns was not...

Was no ordinary young man, but...

Like the rest of us, he was

one of god's children.

And his early passing

gives us cause for deep sorrow...

And concern.

No man is an island
entire of itself.

Every man is a piece
of the continent,

a part of the main.

"Naked came I out of
my mother's womb,"

"and naked shall I return there."

Enjoy the trip.

"The Lord gave,"

"and the Lord hath taken away;"

"blessed be the name of the Lord."

The Lord never did
nothing for the Loser.

What?

What's this stuff
about "the Lord gave"

"and the Lord taken away?"

He gave him that most
precious gift...

Of life.

You're so full of Bull
you don't even know it.

It's true. The Lord gives life

and man can make of
that what he will.

This man could have made of his
life any number of things.

Yeah?

Let me tell you something, mother.

Let me tell you what
life made of him.

About how life never let him alone

to do what he wanted to do.

About how life made
him always be good,

always pay the rent,

and to shovel it.

No, preach.

Not children of God

but Hell's Angels.

Yeah. Yeah.

"How art thou fallen
from heaven, o Lucifer?"

"Woe be unto them who call
evil good and good evil."

Thus said Isaiah.

"Thus said Isaiah."

Hey, man, do you ever say
anything on your own?

Heavens, Lucifer,

don't tell us about evil being
good and good being evil.

That's absurd, it's ridiculous.

We don't call anything,
anything, man.

We just want to be
left alone, dude.

We don't want nobody
telling us what to do.

We don't want nobody
pushing us around.

Yeah. Yeah.

I apologise.

But tell me...

Just what is it that
you want to do?

Well, we want to be free.

We want to be free to
do what we want to do.

We want to be free to ride...

Yeah.

We want to be free to ride our
machines without being hassled.

Yeah. Yeah.

And we want to get loaded.

Yeah. Second the motion.

And we want to have a good time.

That's what we're going to do.

Away, baby, let's go.

We're going to have a good time.

We're going to have a party.

My son... I'm not your son.

Don't want him to miss the party.

Make sure he doesn't.

Come on.

You heard the Blues, geek.
You're invited to the party.

This guy weighs a tonne.

Help a little bit.

"Preacher's gone beddy-bye"

aha. It's party time.

Yeah. Yeah. Let's do it.

You were cool.

Think so?

What's the matter, Blues?

Nothing.

Aha.

Let's go.

Gaysh, what do you say
we go in the back?

Come on, what do
you say? Let's go?

What do you say

we put her out of
her misery, baby?

Why not?

Yeah, beautiful, beautiful.

Come on, lover, doctor's orders.

No. Just leave... leave me alone.

I said come on.

I said leave me alone.
Did you hear me?

God, Frankenstein, I
said leave me alone.

Did you hear what I said?

That's it, baby.

No. I said let me go.

Did you hear what I said?

I said for you to let me go.

Yeah, she's a fighter.

What a fighter.

That's it, baby, scream.

Nice deep breath now, baby.

That's it. That's it.

Yeah, baby.

"Why do I lie here
dreaming every night?"

"Why does my poor heart break"

"when you're out of sight?"

Ya-hoo.

Hey, Bull, look at the Loser.

Hey, man, it's your
party, isn't it?

Yeah, Loser, it's your party.

Says he wants to
come to the party.

Yeah?

What? What'd you say, Loser?

What'd he say?

Says that the preacher
belongs here.

Right.

Hey, come here.

I think the Loser looks
better than the preacher.

The Loser wants a smoke.

Here, Loser, take a
little puff. Open up.

Yeah, good, yeah.

What about the preacher?

Yeah. Let's get him.

"Why does my poor heart break"

"when you're out of sight?"

The poor preacher.

Stone dead.

Here, this will wake him up.

Blues.

Beat it. I don't want you.

"All I need is you"

Blues, honey.

Ain't ya got me mixed
up with somebody else?

Not by the coffin, Blues.

"Why do I lie awake"

"each and every night?"

"Why does my poor heart break?"

Hey. Did you hear mama back there?

"Let it be"

"dear Lord, let it be"

Joey?

Joey, I couldn't help it.

Honest.

You aren't angry with me, are you?

I knew you wouldn't be.

Come on, man.

Give me a hand.

Let's get the preacher out.

Hey, man, the dude's alive.

Somebody get him a beer.

No, no, no... don't. No.

No.

Where you taking him?

Hey, they're putting him
back in the old lid.

They're putting him back
in the old freezer.

If I didn't know better,
I'd swear he was dead.

What do we do now, Blues?

Bury him.

No.

No.

Don't you think you should
say something, Blues?

Nothing to say.

Let's get them. Wait.
We got to bury him.

He can wait.

Aha.

The heat, man.

Come on, baby.

It's the heat.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Blues, let's go.

Get her out of here.

We got to get out of here, Blues.

Please.

Get on.

Blues.

Please, let's go.

There's nowhere to go.

Get on, Mike.

Blues.
