Well, considering he
hadn't sung in no place
327
00:16:23,666 --> 00:16:26,469

328
00:16:26,536 --> 00:16:27,805
how do you figure?
329
00:16:29,805 --> 00:16:32,008
You got no national distribution
330
00:16:32,075 --> 00:16:34,410
and you're on hold with
at least one pressing plant
331
00:16:34,478 --> 00:16:35,713
for non-payment.
332
00:16:36,814 --> 00:16:38,449
Who told you that?
333
00:16:38,515 --> 00:16:40,839
Well, let's just say
someone less well-disposed
334
00:16:40,868 --> 00:16:42,269
than the Colonel, would
335
00:16:42,315 --> 00:16:45,021

behalf for unpaid royalties.

00:16:45,088 --> 00:16:46,623
Then, if Sun went into bankruptcy,
337
00:16:46,690 --> 00:16:49,026
- his contract...
- But the fact is...
338
00:16:49,093 --> 00:16:51,728
I have a current contract with Elvis
339
00:16:51,795 --> 00:16:54,797

342
00:17:07,103 --> 00:17:09,797
I have Elvis' assent
343
00:17:10,247 --> 00:17:15,119
signed by his daddy to
look for a better label.
344
00:17:16,519 --> 00:17:17,754

00:17:18,177 --> 00:17:19,544
With your assent,
346
00:17:19,571 --> 00:17:22,775
I'll sell the boy's
contract to a major label.
347
00:17:23,373 --> 00:17:25,976
That money clears your debt.
348
00:17:26,026 --> 00:17:27,961
Once he's a big star, word will get out
349
00:17:27,997 --> 00:17:30,103
it was Sun Records that discovered him.
350
00:17:30,401 --> 00:17:32,069
They'll flock to you.
351
00:17:32,135 --> 00:17:35,605
Then, you'll have the
money to make Sun Records.
352
00:17:35,671 --> 00:17:38,141
It's either that or you go bust,
353
00:17:38,208 --> 00:17:40,678
