Beyond the Sea
Considering a Political Career
Nina Cassotto Maffia I heard you were going into politics. You still thinkin about doing that?
Bobby Darin Well, I'm considering it. I mean, they've asked me.
Nina Cassotto Maffia Well, you know how the papers try and smear people with things from their past when, you know, they're gonna run for an office?
Bobby Darin Mm-hm. Yeah. So what?
Nina Cassotto Maffia There's something about your past that I think it's finally time for you to know.
Bobby Darin What are you talking about?
Nina Cassotto Maffia It's about Polly. She wasn't who you thought she was, Bobby.
Bobby Darin She was the best mother in the whole goddamn world. What are you talking about?
Nina Cassotto Maffia She was a great mother because she was my mother, so I know it's true.
Bobby Darin Than you take that back!
Nina Cassotto Maffia No, she was a wonderful person and a wonderful mother. But what I think you really need now is the truth. The truth about your mother. And the truth is... Polly was not your mother. Sam was not your father. You ain't my brother, Bobby. We swore that we would never let you find out. Polly was my mother. Not yours. She was your grandmother. Sweetheart... I'm not your sister. Bobby, I'm your mother.
[pause; pause; tearfully; pause]
Polly Cassotto We made a pact that we would never tell you.
Little Bobby Is she kidding?
Polly Cassotto She got pregnant when she was seventeen.
Nina Cassotto Maffia It's true, Bobby. I didn't want you to be a bastard, so I gave you to momma, so that way no one could call you one.
[tearfully]
Polly Cassotto She couldn't give you up for adoption.
Nina Cassotto Maffia When I went off to the hospital, when it was time for you to be born. Momma moved us to the Bronx where we didn't know nobody. And then when I came back, we said you were her baby, not mine. But that way I could keep you.
Little Bobby Do you realise what you're saying to me?
Polly Cassotto We did it to protect you, Bobby.
Nina Cassotto Maffia You need me now. I can really be here for you. You're lost. You can finally have the mother that you never really had.
Little Bobby Who was my father?
Nina Cassotto Maffia Oh, Bobby. I was dating a lot of guys back then.
Little Bobby Who was my father?!

Charlie Cassotto Maffia Look, we don't have to do this. We can call it off.

See God wouldn't've made you suffer so much if you weren't gonna make up for it later. How happy you can be. Up a Lazy River with me.
[playing the piano. To young Bobby; sings]

A Promise of Boundaries in Love
Bobby Darin It's OK, I'm not gonna hurt you. Watch. My momma used to tell me a story when I was a kid that in the Middle Ages, one of the knights in King Arthur's court, he laid down his sword between himself and Guinevere, and he promised that he would never cross over to the other side.
Sandra Dee Really?
Bobby Darin I am laying down this sword between us. That's my side of the bed, and that's yours, and I will never cross over. Ever. I don't care if we don't touch for a thousand nights. Only you can cross over to my side. Only you.

Finding Identity Through a Stage Name
Bobby Darin So I had a hot head, a weak heart and even a worse stage name. Walden Robert Cassotto isn't exactly a name you can see in a marquee. Well, maybe for one night only and one of the things that most performers were doing back then was to find a great stage name and then one day, I saw it, the perfect name. Just blinking, Darin. Darin. Bobby Darin. And no sooner did I change my name and I got my first gig on television. Unfortunately, I didn't know the lyrics to the song I decided to sing, so I had to devise my own method to get through it on live television. Didn't win me many fans. But it didn't finish me either. My record company was giving me one last chance to make a hit.

A Playful Exchange Between Friends
Bobby Darin Hey.
Sandra Dee Hi.
Bobby Darin I've been looking for you all day.
Sandra Dee No, you haven't, you liar.
[laughs]
Bobby Darin I have.
[they kiss]
Sandra Dee You look so good.
Bobby Darin I feel good. I feel great physically. I mean, as so much as I can breath easy since the first time I can remember.
Sandra Dee Dodd misses you being at home. I miss you.
[looking at their son Dodd; pause; Bobby and Sandra embrace]
Bobby Darin I'm proud of you, baby.
Sandra Dee I'm really trying, Bobby.
Bobby Darin I know you are.
Sandra Dee That's not why you left. There's more than that. I'm not who you want me to be, I'm not an intellectual, I'm not as smart as you.
Bobby Darin You're smart enough for ten of me. And look what we did together.
[pause, looking at Dodd]
Sandra Dee You're gonna see him again?
Bobby Darin Oh, I'd love too. I'm just not entirely sure I can get used to the idea of booing as a nightly ritual.
Sandra Dee Oh, you can't blame them, they don't understand. You're always ahead of your time. They're so shallow. People hear what they see anyway and...
[laughs]
Bobby Darin Yeah, I know the... What did you just say?
[realising]
Sandra Dee That you can't blame them it's...
[confused]
Bobby Darin No, no, no, about people hearing... what?...

Uncertainty About Personal Connections
Bobby Darin When did you meet Nina? What year?
Charlie Cassotto Maffia I don't know, nineteen thirty something.
Bobby Darin Do you know who my father is, Charlie?
Charlie Cassotto Maffia No, Bobby. I don't know.
Bobby Darin I wish I knew who he was.
Charlie Cassotto Maffia Look, Bobby, I know I ain't no college boy, but I always felt like I was your father.
Bobby Darin Charlie, you've been more than a father to me, you know that. I just wish I knew.
Charlie Cassotto Maffia Well, you stay out here much longer, Dodd's gonna be saying the same thing about you. Now, you may not know who your father is, but you got two mothers out of the deal and both of them were great. Have you seen how hard it's been for her? Not to be able to tell anybody that you're her son? You ought'a find yourself, get back on the stage. You are Bobby Darin.
Bobby Darin Yeah, that's who I thought I was.
Charlie Cassotto Maffia Okay, okay. Walden Robert Cassotto.

Reflections on Fame and Change in Music
Bobby Darin So I did stay at home for a while, the nineteen sixties rushed by like a locomotive, while Dodd grew up like a moose. Sandy and I made a couple of movies together, but they were all dogs. The music scene was changing as dramatically as the country. Nightclubs were out and big venues like stadiums were in. I was suddenly irrelevant, my stage literally disappearing. I tried to write new music and got involved in politics because we were now a country at war. But the fact was I was a balding chart singer who hadn't had a hit in years and who should be dead.
