Aspirations Beyond Physical Limitations

Freddie Mercury Now you give me a moment to get my bitchy little vocal chords in order and we'll go and punch a hole in the roof of that stadium.

Brian May Actually, Wembley Stadium doesn't have a roof.

Freddie Mercury Then we'll punch a hole in the sky.

Nuremberg

Questioning Guilt in Atrocities and Accountability

Douglas Kelley How is that possible? How is it possible?

[short pause, he stands up]

Hermann Göring ].

[short pause; [Heinrich Himmler|Himmler]

Douglas Kelley Himmer wasn't second in command. You were. 1200 camps? What am I supposed to believe that you didn't know?

Hermann Göring Anyone can fake an atrocity.

Douglas Kelley So you're saying the filming was a fake, that's your defence?

Hermann Göring What would you have me say?

Douglas Kelley About the truth for once!

Hermann Göring Why? So you can run and tell Jackson. My friend, your hypocrisy is stunning.

Douglas Kelley My hypocrisy?

Hermann Göring You think American bullets and bombs don't kill people?! You vaporised ]. And you presume to stand in judgment on me for war crimes.

[[Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki|150,000 Japanese at the touch of a button]

Douglas Kelley We had every right to defend ourselves.

Hermann Göring How do you defend yourself on someone else's soil?!

Douglas Kelley There's a difference between us bombing war factories and civilians dying as collateral damage! And you building 1200 human slaughter houses designed to exterminate an entire race! And you know it!!

Hermann Göring What do you think war is?!

Douglas Kelley Not what I saw today.

[pause]

Hermann Göring What do you think the ]'s do to German prisoners of war?! You have your freedom and I am a prisoner because you won and we lost, not because you are morally superior! This trial will be a farce in 15 years. Great conquerors are not thought of as murderers, ], ]...

[[Russian; [Genghis Khan; [Alexander the Great]

Douglas Kelley You're not Alexander the Great! You are a fat man in a cell. And you knew.

Hermann Göring I have made a mistake. You are not destined for more. You will have an unhappy life, I think. It will all be overshadowed by this. By the time spent with me. You will write your volumes trying to relive it. The one moment in your life when you actually stood with greatness.

Douglas Kelley You think you're a great man? You think that that's your legacy?

[short pause]

Hermann Göring At least I will have one. You will leave no mark on this world. I am the book! You are merely a footnote.

Douglas Kelley They're gonna kill you! They're gonna hang you by the neck till you piss yourself and die. Your wife will be a widow. Your daughter will be an orphan. And you will have done that to yourself.

[Kelley knocks on the cell door to be let out, door opens. Kelley leaves]

Jim Hutton I didn't want to make it too easy for you. How've you been, Fred?

Late Arrival and Quick Wit

Freddie Mercury What's going on?

Roger Taylor You'd know if you were on time.

[he and the rest of Queen stop]

Freddie Mercury I'm a performer, darling. Not a Swiss train conductor. Sorry I'm late.

[to Roger; pause; to Brian May]

John Deacon Again.

Freddie Mercury All right. Now, will you please tell me why you're not playing any instruments?

Brian May I want to give the audience a song that they can perform. Right? Let them be part of the band. So, what can they do? Imagine...thousands of people...doing this in unison. Huh?

[resumes the 'stomp-stomp-clap' beat for "We Will Rock You." Roger and John join in, followed their wives, and Freddie Mercury.]

Bohemian Rhapsody

Unity Among Misfits in Music

John Reid So, tell me. What makes Queen any different from all of the other wannabe rock stars I meet?

Freddie Mercury I'll tell you what it is. We're four misfits who don't belong together playing to the other misfits. The outcasts, right at the back of the room who are pretty sure they don't belong either. We belong to them.

Brian May We're a family.

Roger Taylor But no two of us are the same.

Renaming Jim Beach to Miami Beach

John Reid This is the band's lawyer Jim Beach.

Freddie Mercury We MUST stop calling him that.

John Reid That's his name.

Freddie Mercury We cannot keep calling him Jim Beach. No, that's absurd. Not to mention unspeakably boring. Miami. From now on I dub thee Miami Beach.

Jim "Miami" Beach The sun always sets behind you, doesn't it? On Miami Beach?

Ray Foster Right, now that everybody's got an acceptable name let's get to it.

Confronting Loneliness and Inner Darkness

Jim Hutton So, all your friends have left you alone.

Freddie Mercury They're not my friends. Not really. Just distraction.

Jim Hutton From what?

Freddie Mercury The in-between moments, I suppose. I find them intolerable. All of the darkness you thought you left behind comes creeping back in.

Jim Hutton I know what you mean.

Freddie Mercury Really? What is it that you do with them?

[leans closer towards Jim]

Jim Hutton Spend them with real friends. You look like you could use a friend.

[they briefly gaze at each other, before Jim leans in and kisses Freddie passionately]

Freddie Mercury I like you.

Jim Hutton I like you, too, Freddie. Come find me when you decide to like yourself.

[gets up from couch, picks up blanket off the floor and walks towards the door]

Freddie Mercury Can I have your name, at least?

Jim Hutton It's Jim Hutton.

Freddie Mercury Good night, Jim.

Jim Hutton Good night, Freddie. Or should I say, "Good morning"?

Bohemian Rhapsody

A Masterpiece Beyond Promised Expectations

Ray Foster ]; groans] Christ. Well, I'm not entirely sure that's the album you promised us.

[after listening to [[w:Bohemian Rhapsody|Bohemian Rhapsody; Freddie stops music reel]

Freddie Mercury No, it's better than the album we promised you. It's better than any album anyone's ever promised you, darling. It is a bloody masterpiece.

Ray Foster Christ.

[under his breath]

John Reid It is a good album, Ray.

Roger Taylor We prefer "masterpiece.

Ray Foster It's expensive, and as for... Bohemian...

Brian May Rhapsody.

[clears throat]

Ray Foster ...Rhapsody. What is that?

Freddie Mercury It's an epic poem.

Ray Foster It goes on forever; 6 bloody minutes.

Freddie Mercury I pity your wife if you think 6 minutes is forever. And you know what? We're going to release it as our single.

[Paul scoffs]

Ray Foster Not possible. Anything over three minutes, and the radio stations won't program it, period. And what on Earth is it about, anyway? "Scaramouche"? "Galileo"? And all that "Ismillah" business? "Ishmillah"?

[chortles]

Freddie Mercury Bismillah.

[pause]

Ray Foster Oh, aye. Bismillah. What's it about anyway? Bloody Bismillah?

Freddie Mercury True poetry is for the listener.

Brian May It ruins the mystery if everything's explained.

Ray Foster Seldom ruins sales. 3 minutes is the standard. John.

John Reid Yeah, we need radio. Format is three minutes. I have to agree with Ray. I actually think the single's Love of my Life.

Brian May No.

John Reid Okay, how about John's song, You're My Best Friend? You know, "Ooh, you make me live." Catchy, stronger.

Ray Foster What about I'm in Love with My Car?

Brian May You're joking!

Roger Taylor Huh.

Brian May Oh, Jesus.

Ray Foster I love it. Well, ] Bohemian Rhapsody will never be that song.

[Freddie kicks Ray's desk; [Wayne's World|that's the kind of songs teenagers can crank up the volume in their car and bang their heads to.]

Brian May It's the band's decision. Bohemian Rhapsody. That's it.

Ray Foster You're My Best Friend. And it's my money.

Roger Taylor Bo-Rhap. Period.

Freddie Mercury Or we walk.

[removes music reel]

Paul Prenter ] was 7 minutes long. It was a hit.

[pauses; [w:MacArthur Park (song)|MacArthur Park]

Ray Foster Look, I'm not arguing with Bohemian whatever's...

Freddie Mercury Rhapsody.

Ray Foster ...musicianship, but there's no way in Hell the station will play a six minute quasi-operatic dirge, comprised of nonsense words! "Bismillah"? Bullshit! I paid for this record, so I say what goes!

Roger Taylor Have we no legal recourse on this?

Jim "Miami" Beach Ray, you did Dark Side of the Moon, haven't you?

Ray Foster I did.

[nods]

Jim "Miami" Beach Yeah, I absolutely love that record. Uh, legally, no. No, he's got your balls in a vice. It's a different matter in a court of public opinion, of course. Ray Foster's a giant name in the music industry, but... to the average person. Say the name "Queen", on the other hand...ears prick up.

[to Roger Taylor; answering his question; shrugs]

Ray Foster We're going with You're My Best Friend. Done.

[refusing to back down]

Freddie Mercury No, we know what we have, even if you don't. It's called Bohemian... ...Rhapsody. You will forever be known as the man who lost Queen.

[he puts his cigarette out on Ray's papers; leaves with the band]

John Reid Temperamental artists, eh? They're well aware they're tied to a contract, but who knows what goes on inside the inscrutable mind of the recording artist?

Ray Foster Mark these words. If they're not careful, by the end of the year, no one will know the name "Queen". Christ!

[brick is thrown through window]

Freddie Mercury You can take that out of our royalties, twat!

[shouting]

Ray Foster Wanker!

Brian May You can shove your gold discs! You made a mistake, Foster!

Freddie Mercury Arsehole!
