00:16:26,863 --> 00:16:28,132
how do you figure?
330
00:16:30,132 --> 00:16:32,335
You got no national distribution
331
00:16:32,402 --> 00:16:34,737
and you're on hold with
at least one pressing plant
332
00:16:34,805 --> 00:16:36,040
for non-payment.
333
00:16:37,141 --> 00:16:38,776

334
00:16:38,842 --> 00:16:41,166
Well, let's just say
someone less well-disposed
335
00:16:41,195 --> 00:16:42,596
than the Colonel, would
336
00:16:42,642 --> 00:16:45,348

behalf for unpaid royalties.

338

- his contract...
- But the fact is...

00:16:49,420 --> 00:16:52,055

340
00:16:52,122 --> 00:16:55,124

343
00:17:07,813 --> 00:17:10,507
I have Elvis' assent
344
00:17:10,574 --> 00:17:15,446
signed by his daddy to
look for a better label.

With your assent,
347
00:17:20,516 --> 00:17:23,720
I'll sell the boy's
contract to a major label.

money to make Sun Records.

Hmm. It's not like
there's no other interest.

I hear the buzz, I'm not deaf.
573

But 40,000?
574
00:29:19,562 --> 00:29:23,032
I could fix the World
Series for less than that.
575

Steve, your artists
only sell in the south,
576

this boy will sell
coast-to-coast, overseas,

I'd want all his old records.
582
00:29:47,922 --> 00:29:49,992
I don't want RCA to
push the hell out of him,
583

have Sun putting out
all his older stuff,

against Snow's royalties.

No.
588

This is a deal between
RCA and the Colonel.
589

Thought you two were partners.
590

597

couple of houses and a car.

Fix it.
600

Why don't you go to RCA or Columbia
601
00:30:35,004 --> 00:30:36,705
and get them to pony up?
602
00:30:36,772 --> 00:30:40,775
We just need 5,000 down and
we can shop him all over.
603
