All language subtitles for Madonna Innocence Lost 1994

BASED ON TRUE FACTS.

SOME CHARACTERS ARE FANTASTIC.

SOME SONGS WERE
MADE FOR THE MOVIE.

MADONNA DID NOT PARTICIPATE...

...DID NOT EVEN SUPPORT THE MOVIE.

RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL

MTV MUSIC AWARDS - 1984

- Hello.
- Hello.

You are amazing.

I didn't expect it to be like this.

- How come;
- Where is everybody;

I was expecting a room
with friends and family.

It's my first time on TV.

Where is the celebration?

Get used to it, Madonna.
That's how it is.

- Where are you going;
- I'm going to check the sound.

You will be amazing.

My name is Madonna Ciccone.

I was born and
raised in Detroit...

where I began a career of
dysthymia and precocity...

...for my father's bad luck.

Michigan 1978

From a very young age, I didn't know
if I wanted to be a nun or an actress.

Nine months at a Catholic school
helped me make up my mind.

After mom died, dad
raised me very strictly.

I don't think I would
have ended up like this...

...if I didn't have to rebel
against conservative values.

Dear Sister, I am glad
to see you at the liturgy.

...will be revealed.

And every man
shall see salvation...

...for the Lord spoke and
confirmed these things.

Someone's voice said "boison".
And he said "I will help".

Every person will help...

...before the glory and
the flowers of the grass.

You missed the sermon.

- He was talking about humility and obedience.
- Let's pray.

Dear Father...

...we want to thank you
for what you have given us.

Are you okay, sweetie?

In the spirit of Christ, amen.

Get up.

It was a very difficult
decision to leave my father.

He always supported
me, showed me his love.

When I was little, he gave me
25 cents for every perfect I got.

I became rich from a young age.

This drove my brothers crazy
and they tortured me mercilessly.

Dad always took care of me.

I was daddy's little
girl until he remarried.

Betty is not my mom.

This wedding is for all of us.

You want Betty instead of me.

No, it's not true.
I'll always be yours, Noni.

It wasn't mine anymore
so I turned to other pursuits.

In high school I became
slightly schizophrenic.

I didn't know if I wanted
to be a virgin or vice versa.

I believe both had their merits.

When I lost my virginity...

...I saw it as a
career move, my first.

More would follow in New York.

Is this all? Is that all you have?

Yes. Thirty seven dollars.

What if you don't win
the dance scholarship?

And of course I will win it!

It's the craziest thing
you've ever done.

I'll miss you, baby.

- Write a letter!
- We have to hurry.

They will come back from
the church wherever it is.

Don't forget to
hang up your dress.

- Come.
- That's it. I forgot it.

Okay, bring the game.

Where are you going, miss?

- Where everything happens.
- Okay.

Okay.

15 dollars.

- Fifteen dollars?
- Exactly.

We didn't do more
than 16 kilometers.

Times Square.
The center of the world.

That's all I can give.

COME ON - WE'RE OPEN

The guy was pissed off.

CLERK WANTED

DONUTS OPEN 24 HOURS

Do you know cooking?

I'm only missing the diploma.

You start tomorrow. Do not be late.

Thanks.

"RUTH NOVAK" DANCE TEAM AUDITION

- Name.
- Madonna Ciccone.

I want to try for scholarship.

Miss Novak is one of
the most innovative...

...in the field of dance today.

Wait there. You have number 32.

We will call you.

She is my idol.

I studied at the
University of Michigan...

she came with her troupe...

...and they performed a very
difficult 12-bar piece by Stravinsky.

Go sit down, miss.

No, it's okay, Victoria.
Let her finish.

Okay.

All her dancers
were on their toes...

but their bodies were...
They were twisted...

...in primitive, angular shapes.

I've never seen anything like this before.

The woman is a genius.

Are you ready for
such a challenge?

I'm ready for anything.

- I'm Ruth Novak.
- Oh my god!

Oh my god!

I feel so bad.

I can't wait to see you dance.

No no no.

Lifts, guys.
Watch out for lifts.

Again, please.
And four, five, six...

Miss Cicone! Miss Cicone!

The essence of
movement is in transition.

Not at the stop.

Again, please. And...

And...

Nice.

Nice.

From beginning.

And...

Party you think is here?

The bigger the party,
the more donuts you sell.

Didn't they teach you that
in business administration?

I do not accept
tenants by the week...

...but I'll make an exception for you.

Very kind of you.

You will have to pay
in advance for cleaning.

I paid the repair shop after
they cleaned yesterday.

No problem. I will be working
a double shift on the weekend.

It has a very nice view.

Any way you look at it,
honey, it's pure bullshit.

Now, it's your business.

If you saw where I lived
before, this looks like the Ridge.

Do not smoke

Chick, how many times
do I have to tell you...

...a dose for each donut!

Is it that hard to understand?

I just wanted to give the
customers exactly what they paid for.

Do you know how much
it will cost to clean this up?

- I'll deduct it from your paycheck.
- You can not!

I barely have money for
the phone and I owe rent.

If you fail at donuts,
you've failed at life.

This is not life!

It's not even a serious restaurant.

It's a slimy sewer
full of cockroaches.

I may not be smart,
I may not be ready...

...but I'm the boss.

You are fired!

It can't be that bad, baby.

Will you pick it up? I
have to bring the milk.

Okay.

- Forward.
- Dad.

Madonna. Where are you;

I'm in New York.

- How could you leave like that?
- Listen to me, dad.

I knew you'd be worried. I took
you to tell you that everything is fine.

It was about time!

Three weeks have passed.

Dad... I wanted to make
things easier for both of us.

You didn't make it.

How you doin;

Very well. Truth.

I like dance lessons.
Meet new people.

I'm going to audition
for the theater.

Noni, you are always
welcome, you know that.

It is not too late to register
for the next semester.

No way!

I'm having a great time here.

You would be proud of me.

NAKED MODEL

Are you Professor Bennett?

My name is Madonna.
I called about the ad.

- Something went wrong.
- Error;

The way you described
yourself over the phone...

...I had the impression that...

I came from the
other side of town...

I changed my work
schedule to come.

I'm so sorry.

I was looking for something bigger.

Which is not so expensive.

Do you think I'm buying?

Do you want me to sit
here? On the couch?

I love velvet.

It's like a second skin.

Thanks guys.
Excellent photography. Well done.

I'll let you know
about next week.

- Thanks.
- Thursday, 8:00.

Don't come at 7:00.
I won't be here.

- The door will be closed.
- Hello.

- Put a cap on the lens.
- Thanks.

You did...

- You did a great job.
- Thanks.

Look... I don't usually
do that with my models.

The truth is, I never have.

What are you doing tonight;

I am busy.

I have plans.

Does the proposal include dinner?

It was a very nice meal.

I don't believe your name
is Madonna Ciccone and...

...you haven't
been to Little Italy.

Now I'm discovering the city.
Give me some time.

What;

What are you doing; What...

I want people to get
used to seeing my name.

MADONNA

What; And you are
shocking in your own way.

You don't photograph
old women in tall buildings.

What is the most outrageous
thing you have photographed?

If you want breakfast,
I'm an excellent cook.

I can not. I have dance class.

Will we see each other again tonight?

I do not know. It depends.

From what;

It's dangerous to
mix work with fun.

I don't want to risk
my new job here.

We will find some solution.

- Yes?
- Yes.

What do you think...

...for triple the model pay?

I think we agree.

See you, professor.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Don't collapse, Madonna.
Land like a shapeless mass.

Feel the emptiness.

Don't be afraid of pain.

Again.

Get up, Madonna.

I can't do as you want!

What's wrong with you;
Why are you acting like this?

Are you afraid that you
are not as good as others?

I work harder than anyone.

That's why I accepted you
into the troupe in the first place.

Because you had
the will, not the talent.

- I do my best.
- To impress me.

Concentrate on the task.

You don't dance to
get ahead, Madonna.

You dance because you enjoy it.

But I want a place
in the national troupe.

You've only been
with me three weeks.

There are excellent dancers who
have been with me for three years...

...and they're still waiting.

I can not wait.

Then you better get
on with something else.

To be honest...

...I'm wasting my time with you.

- Madonna, can I take you somewhere?
- Salvador!

JEANS $6.99

Dad!

I thought you were working.
Where do you spend your money?

In rent, dancing, books.

It costs a fortune
to live in New York.

I don't take drugs.

The phone has only
been down for two days.

A week and a half ago.

I know because I tried
to call you every night.

You lied to me, Madonna.

What happened; Did you get fired?

What if I got fired?

There are thousands
of scams in this town.

If ten years pass...

...and your dream
didn't come true?

You will be 30.
And you won't have achieved anything.

That will never happen to me.

I want to understand you, Madonna.

Truth.

But I can not.

I know it's hard for you.

You think I don't need
you, but it's not true.

Honey, don't... Don't waste
the best years of your life.

Come back home.

Go to college and
make a life for yourself.

This is your dream,
Dad, not mine.

I can go back to
school at any time.

I can do whatever I want.

Yes.

I do not know. You may be right.

You may be right.
I used to feel that way too.

I thought life was full
of endless possibilities...

...and that everything
would be fine.

But sometimes that doesn't happen.

The floor will be
good for your waistline.

Truth.

I miss you, my little Noni.

Thanks for coming to see me.

Goodnight dad.

I would like you to stay longer.

I have an audition at 10.
Then we can go for a walk.

Let's take a walk in Little Italy.

Betty is waiting for me for dinner.

And I have to go to work.

The rent, Chikone.

It's a shame how much
you charge for this crap.

Who is it, Madonna? Neighbor;

Chikon, won't you
introduce me to your friend?

Yes, from here, Tony.

He's my daddy.

Yes; Hurry up, baby.
Time is money.

Abnormal!

- Come on, honey. Take these.
- No, Dad.

- Come on.
- Not true.

- In case of emergency.
- I'm fine.

I will succeed in the audition.

They are looking for dancers like me.

I'll be fine, Dad.

There has to be a better way.

Open!

The rent, Chikone!
You said you'd have the money!

You also owe me
for the cleaning crew!

Wait a second. I'm naked!

Tell us anything new!

You said you'd have the money!

The guy gave a damn.

Chikon, I became a
thousand pieces for you!

I have a key, you know.

Get into!

Chick!

- Hi, I'm Bennett.
- Hi, where did you go?

I'm trying to find
you, I need a job.

Please leave name, phone
number and the day you called...

...and I promise I'll
pick you up again...

- Run, run, run!
- Stop!

They took my stuff!

Savoy

It's nice of you to harp on me again.

I thought you were going
to tell me about the food.

Cheese keeps for days.

I avoid dips.
They are very troublesome.

Can you imagine
anyone buying this crap?

The artist is a very
good friend of mine.

Thanks for coming.

Won't you kiss me?

- Do you live here?
- Yes.

Come.

ERECTED IN HER MEMORY
BY FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Yes.

Guess what, synagogue bells?

You're obviously not Jewish. No.

- Do you remember in gymnastics?
- Yes.

I hung them up.

It's a great way to keep fit.

How long has it been
unused for operations?

It had been abandoned for years.

Are you a musician?

Yes, I'm making a band.

- You sing;
- No, not particularly.

Only in school
musicals, stuff like that.

Come.

- I want to hear you.
- No.

- I don't want to hurt you.
- Sing, sing.

Catch Me If You Can!

Slip!

You have... You have an amazing body.

I take ballet lessons.

Ballet; I can't imagine
you dancing in "Swan Lake".

You know...

...you make love like a man.

What does that mean;

You are very aggressive.

Uninhibited.

That too...

-...does it scare you?
- No.

- Is he threatening you?
- No.

It turns me on like crazy.

I always wanted to be a man.

When I was little, I was
very jealous of my brothers.

They took off their
shirts in the summer.

They had so much freedom.

If you had another freedom...

...you would be deadly.

Don't forget to
lower the toilet lid.

Why are you wearing clothes?

Madonna, may I introduce
you to my brother Stu.

- Fascinated.
- I'm sure.

No... I didn't know you had company.

I turned the tables.
Didn't you look?

There's been a lot of electricity
lately, no... I didn't look.

Stu and I live here,
but we've made a deal.

Yes...

I leave at night, as long as
the chick does it in the morning.

The chick?

Stu was leaving.

Make sure he doesn't steal anything.

- No way. He won't stay.
- Come.

He wants to stay somewhere
for a few days. It's temporary.

That's not the case
with chicks like this.

It's clear how desperate she is.

Wow, it was amazing last night.

We ripped the sheets, Stu.

And then just...

...we talked for hours.

I want him to stay. Hello.

You found a chick who
likes sex and conversation.

Perfect.
You don't have to stay with her.

- Look at her. It's so...
- Hello.

- So what?
- So real!

He doesn't play games.

- What you see is what you get.
- That's why I'm worried.

Couldn't take care of
a dog and want a girl?

You could never commit, Paul.

This is different.

I'm trying to save
you heartache, bro.

can you stop

I have to practice.
I have auditions all day.

What's in here, cat food?

I didn't bother to
make breakfast...

You are not my mother. I feel
like I live in an apartment building.

Shall I tell you something? We
don't have much space, okay?

We do what we can.

You said this
situation is temporary.

There is no room for three.

Yes, he is right, Paul. Maybe
someone needs to move.

I could live without
begging from roommates.

- You don't know what it's like out there.
- I have seen the movie "Chorus Line".

I remember the song
"Boobs and Ass".

But the problem is...

...that if this is true, why
don't you ever have a job?

Bastard!

Stupid!

Come.

Come. I know how hard it is.

- You feel bad and...
- You don't know how I feel.

Nobody knows.
Yesterday, at the audition...

the director was on the
phone with her decorator...

...for paints for toilet bowls.

Come on, it's funny
if you think about it.

Madonna. Wait a second.
Madonna, wait!

I do not understand. What happened;

Paul, she's a woman, okay?

They have no instructions for use.

- Madonna Ciccone.
- You are late.

I came from Queens in the rain.

Honey, the producers
came from France. On time.

It's the singers' turn.
I am sorry.

Let the next group pass.

Don't worry about the dance.
We want to see movement.

We start with the chorus.
Sing loudly.

Okay, playback.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Stop!

Stop immediately.
Everyone get off the stage! Now!

- Okay guys, backstage.
- Everyone except her.

You, stay.

Have you auditioned before?

Um, I've been to thousands.

Is that how you act?

- What's your name;
- Madonna.

Don't you have a last name?

Only Madonna. This is.

My love, everyone has a last name.

Madonna do you
like Madonna better?

Madonna is enough for me.

Excuse us a minute.

It will look great with leggings.

Did you see how it moves?

Like a predator,
sensual, like a cat. I like.

He doesn't do well
with choreography.

We have to work on the
voice, the stage presence.

Do you think he'll be interested?

The girl is hungry.

My dear...

...have you ever been to Paris?

- In Paris;
- I met two producers...

...they are sure to make
me an international disco star.

You hate disco. Don't forget
that you are a classical dancer.

- They're going to make me a singer.
- What;

Singer; You have
no idea about a song.

You don't have a
professional education.

They will find me a teacher.
They think I'm good.

Truth; Come on, Madonna.
Guys are cheaters.

Who knows what else they will think of?

Don't forget that... You can't
leave. What will happen to us?

- I will have artistic freedom.
- I am talking to you.

What will happen to us?

If I stay, I will be unhappy.

You will hate me.

It wouldn't get anywhere.

Stop, stop. Stop!

If... If you don't feel
anything for me...

...have the guts to tell me.

You are one of the nicest
people I have ever met.

I don't like what I do.

But you have to.

If this makes me a jerk, sorry.

You are a bitch.

And the apology... It's not enough.

MOULIN ROUGE

- Why are we late?
- I can not.

You are beautiful.
Why did you choose Donna Summer?

You have anxiety before the premiere.

It's not a premiere, Pierre.
It's pure circus.

Only idiots are out there.

Bankers who have no idea
what's going on in the music scene.

These idiots are expecting
an apocalypse tonight.

For the past two months, we've
spent a small fortune on you.

You won't let them down.

Why shouldn't I do what I
want? The beginning is so trite.

Community? They go crazy for
platitudes. That's what they understand.

Don't you dare change
the slightest step.

You will go on stage, you
will sing in the spotlight...

...as if it were the
soul of your lost lover.

As Donna Summer would do.

I'm not Donna Summer!

You have five minutes, Madonna.

You are awesome.

Where is;

What happens;

Sing the song.

What are you doing;

I quit!

Madonna! Madonna!

Madonna!

Paul!

Paul, open it!

Madonna.

What... What are you doing here?

I saw the joke and thought...

It's broken.

It's broken since you left.

I missed you so much.

When did you get back from Paris?

Two hours ago.
The trip was a failure.

Didn't they promise you
the sky with the stars?

I don't want to talk about Paris.

I want to talk about just
you, me and the band.

- Stu and I made it.
- And;

We hired a singer.

She will be good.

Is it a girl?

It was Stu's idea, wasn't it?

- Are you ok;
- I have a cold.

- Go inside. I'm unfrozen.
- Wait... Wait a minute.

You can't come back...
As if nothing happened.

Come on, we won't make the same mistakes.
We were in a big hurry.

I really liked you, Madonna.
You understand me;

I thought we had something special.
You gave up on me. You're gone.

Good good. I do really stupid
things sometimes. I know.

I seared them for good. Sorry.

I won't go through the same thing again.

I'm not looking for somewhere
to stay for a few nights.

I want us to be together.

I do not know.

I want to make love. Right now.

Right now.

Madonna, no.
Listen, I have a fever of 39, okay?

It's raining chairs. I'm all wet.

Tell me you didn't miss me.

- What are you playing;
- No, I wouldn't say that. Simply...

- No, come on. Play it.
- Does not matter.

Yes, yes. We only do
what we know we do well.

Come here. Take the pen.

You play these strings.
I will play these.

- Okay.
- Okay, play this.

Nice.

Nice. Let's go again.

You have a very nice voice. Look.

The good thing about
music, when you're in a band...

...is that you can go from
obscurity to stardom overnight.

This does not happen to dancers.
Never.

Hold on. I know what you're doing.

No. No way. One girl in
the band is enough for us.

You know that...
Stu won't agree.

I won't... What? Oh my god!

Okay. Tune in.
And listen to the beat.

- And... Sing out loud.
- Okay.

So.

- Okay. I understood. Thanks.
- Stu.

Okay.

We will make it.

Well, guys. I want to tell
you about Friday, okay?

We have to be at the Silver
Dollar by 9:00. At nine.

I'm having the same nightmare.
I show up at the club...

...I start singing and
nothing comes out.

I'm getting nauseous
just talking about it.

Don't worry if you have a track, Kelsey.

We will do breathing exercises.

- You'll be fine, Kelsey.
- Good.

We've been fighting him for a month
and he still doesn't know the music.

He'll make it, don't worry.

Do you want me to work with her tomorrow?

We will practice
stage presence, vocals.

Tell her not to shake
her hair. Drives me crazy.

He's stressed. Do not worry.

- You're right.
- I'll take care of Kelsey.

Can you shake
your hair any more?

- So;
- Yes.

The boys really like
it, especially Paul.

And the clothes you
make are fantastic.

The time has passed.
Aren't we going to rehearse?

Why rehearse? Paul is neurotic.

Too much practice
will ruin your style.

We'll let them think we've
been rehearsing for hours.

- It will be our little secret.
- Exactly.

We girls have to stick together.

SILVER DOLLAR

Good Evening.
We are the Breakfast Club.

Two, three, four...

My baby!

Kelsey! Kelsey!

- What are you doing;
- Do not get nervous.

Madonna. No way!

My girlfriend will not
appear as a piece of meat.

This belly button
will make us rich.

Trust me.

Kelsey, Kelsey, Kelsey, Kelsey.

Where's the meat?

What's up; Didn't you hear the
applause? It was improbable.

You made us look
like a backing band.

We need to revise
the repertoire.

Let's do covers,
a little new wave.

The band is mine.
Do you remember that;

Don't steal my show again.

- I warned you, Paul.
- Shut up!

I'm tired of you judging
me after a holiday.

What have you got? We were a team.

Yes, we were a team.
The team of one.

- If you do it again, you're gone.
- I saved you tonight.

Nice. Keep promoting
yourself. You're doing great.

I don't believe you!

I spent three months
working two jobs...

...to stay home
all day and study.

- She's a self-centered...
- I can do it myself!

No you can not!
You didn't know what hit you!

- At least I'm trying!
- She's the bad guy, not me!

- Snap out of it!
- Stop!

You are jealous because I have
something you will never have: charisma!

No sweetheart. Don't
confuse charisma with audacity.

Everyone can shake
their ass at drunks.

Thanks to me you succeeded tonight.

What did we achieve? We
were made fun of, Madonna!

I was embarrassed to
appear with you tonight.

Perfect. Perfect. Madonna!

Where are you going now, huh?

You went to Paris.
You went to Detroit.

New York is going to seem
pretty boring now, isn't it?

Do you know what you are?

A bare ambition without talent.

Do you want to leave? Go away!

Go away! Get lost!

New York - 1981

It's the paradoxes of
management, Brad.

If you do really well...

...then you run out of work.

And I ask you, why
are we doing all this?

Someday you will
open the door for me.

A bunch of bills and
not enough checks.

- Where is the justice, Brad?
- I want you to hear this.

Do me a favour.
I haven't had coffee yet.

- Oh my god!
- She's not that bad.

He has an extremely thin voice.

Stop, stop. To listen.

This is interesting. Who is she;

I do not know. They taped the
tape to the windshield of my car.

- We have to find her.
- Okay, find her.

- Just for five minutes.
- Okay.

Yes, I will tell everyone
that you are stingy.

I'll pick you up again.

- You liked my tape.
- It was you;

I have five minutes.
I won't need that much time.

I'm playing at
Lee's tonight at 9:00.

You have to see me live to
understand. I'm crazy about Chinese.

Bye, Brad.

Take my food.

RESERVE Camille Barbone

What the hell is wrong with you?

I told you at 9:00. Why did
you do this to me; It is my life!

We were late to the office
and it was extremely busy.

I don't need to explain myself to you.

Who do you think You Are;

Come on, Brad. We left.

I like your energy, Camille.

You're lucky I
have another show.

Sit back and enjoy it.

She is very good.

You are doing a lot of
damage to your vocal cords.

Have you had voice training?

Yes, I play five times a week.

Yes, I imagined it.
Miss Cicone wants some tea.

Here's a bar, honey. I have beer.

The girl wants tea.
With herbs and lemon.

My name is Miss Barbone, not sweetie.

Did you like the show?
The songs are new.

I do most of the writing now.

First, take care of your voice
because you will lose it once and for all.

Drink tea with honey
before every show.

Lemon tea afterwards.
Get rid of this lousy band.

You want real
musicians to support you.

It's $5, Miss Barbone.

You're lucky...

...where Miss Cicone
sings over here.

- Yes.
- Go away. We're talking about jobs.

Tea with lemon.

You have a broken skylight
in the hallway. It's a violation.

I have a cousin in city hall.
$65, no down payment.

The longer you delay
it, the price will drop.

Let the cousin go drown.

It's $90 and I have three
more waiting at the entrance.

Okay, maybe he wasn't a cousin.

I don't want loud parties
or marijuana or pets.

Miss Ciccone is preparing
to become a nun, Mrs. Estez.

I'll pay you $100 a week.

In return, you will
work in my building.

You start on Monday as a maid.

Chambermaid;

Is that what you did all day?

You have very nice books.

You can read any you want...

...but only after you're
done cleaning, okay?

It's Friday night. Let's Dance.

To get out. Come on, it'll be fun.

This is what I do when I have
free time, Madonna. Calm.

I don't want to be entertained.

You can go. You studied.

I'll finish the cleaning.
Have a nice weekend.

Where are you going tonight;

I do not know. In a club.

Danceteria is perfect.
I have time to go.

Listen... I'll order pizza.

Do you want to stay?

The music I want to
write has a bluesy beat.

Black music, whatever
they play in the clubs.

This kind of music has
no money, Madonna.

I will make you rich.

I want you to write songs
like Pat Benatar. Rock.

We'll make a demo,
we'll promote you.

Brad and I made a
list of people we want.

- Only the best.
- I have a drummer friend.

We want professionals,
Madonna, not friends.

He's coming tomorrow from
Detroit and he's very good, Camille.

I used to date him.

Are you, by any chance,
sleeping with him?

Of course not.
The relationship is platonic.

What; Do you think I
sleep with every guy I meet?

They are very good.
Only one thing, the drummer.

Flynn. I knew you'd like it.

I went to great lengths to get
him, but he's worth every penny.

Camille, we need to talk.
Tom is an amazing drummer.

He has been touring
Europe for a year now.

- He just came from Paris.
- You said Detroit.

- Come on, Camille.
- You will not sleep with the band.

If I find out anyone is messing with
you, they will be fired on the spot.

I pay. That means
you will do as I say.

Did you understand;

Flynn.

- Nice car.
- Thanks.

- Will you take me for a walk?
- Ahem.

Robbie, you played with him.
How did you forget him?

- Yes, the short one.
- Very curious.

Did you see the match yesterday?

Okay, let's start rehearsing.

Max, who else?

I don't hear me the way you do.

I'm not heavy at all.

One two three four...

Do you want to get on my nerves?

I can not focus.

Snap out of it.

What's up today, Flynn?
You've lost your rhythm.

You didn't complain last night.

Flynn, in my office, now.

I'm telling you so you know, gentlemen.

If you want the job,
your eyes on the music...

...your mouths on the microphone
and your pants buttoned.

I will be in my office.
I hope to find a drummer today.

No need.

Hear him play,
Camille, he's great.

- No way.
- Show her, Tom.

If she lives with you, she has 24 hours to
find a new boyfriend, otherwise she's out.

Don't do this to me again.

Camille, I'm bleeding like crazy!

Madonna.

- What happens;
- I do not know. I am swollen.

My wisdom teeth.

Calm down.
They're probably... infected.

- I'm afraid.
- Okay, I'll be right back.

I'll tell my dentist
we're coming.

- I'm afraid, Camille!
- Don't worry, I'm coming.

Calm down. You are my home.

The anesthetic
will wear off shortly.

When I was little,
whenever I was sick...

...my mom used to
make me bread and tea.

Like you, but without the bread.

You shouldn't talk.
I'll get some ice.

No, don't leave.

I miss my mom.

What happened to your mom,
Madonna? You never talk about her.

when will you come home

I'll be late, honey.

In the meantime, take care
of your brothers and father.

Remember you got my name...

...and that makes you very special.

Stop being like that.
I want to play.

Come on, honey.

We better go for a walk.
Come children.

I want to talk to you.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- I love you.
- I love you too, Noni.

- Shall we go here?
- Yes!

Mum!

Mum!

Dad, what happened to mom?

Take pity on us.

Everything is fine. I am here.

I could go on for hours.

You've been on stage so many times...

...where the other band
didn't take the stage.

- Yes, it was incredible.
- Unbelievable?

It was beyond incredible.

You believe in me, don't you?

I have been in the game for many years...

and I've never seen
them fill the stage before...

...like you did last night.

It's my chance too, Madonna.

Like you, I have bet everything.

You've made a lot of sacrifices
to get here, haven't you?

Of course. I have given
everything for my company.

The important thing is that we
are friends. Do you understand?

It's not just work, Madonna.

I swear to you, we will succeed.

We will conquer the world.

And we will conquer him together.

- Peter, are you okay?
- Yes, I'm fine.

If he wasn't your
cousin, you'd pay him big.

Does not matter.
It's a study for school.

I'll take credit.

I want you to stick them in the Village.
We will fill the store.

Why not pay someone?
I'm on my feet all day.

You can be treated like a star
once you start bringing in money.

Come. Take the dogs with you.
They have to go for a walk.

And you. Come on, go.

Let's go.

How exciting!

Wait.

Are you doing the same tricks again?

It's... It's a big
career change.

It's temporary.
I finally made my band.

Truth;

Perfect. This is unlikely.
Yeah, like me and Stu.

We are closed all the time.
Suddenly, we were a hit.

We should meet sometime.
Let's remember the old days.

We don't need to go
back to the old days.

You know... I'm with someone now.

Well done, you deserve
every happiness, Paul.

Look... I have to go.

I'm meeting her parents for the
first time tonight. You know how it is.

Yes, I have to go too.
Little ones get impatient.

To tell.

Call me sometime.

Peter, get out!

- About the time we got to the juice.
- Outside!

- She's only 16 years old.
- I was bored.

- What's wrong with you;
- We were having a little fun, okay?

How will he feel when you
leave him for someone else?

I met an old friend, okay?
Do you like this answer?

I was wearing my
best cleaning outfit...

I was walking your dogs...

I was playing it like a serious
musician, and he kept talking...

...about his new life
with his new girlfriend.

It was humiliating, Camille!

where's my tea

Go get it yourself.

Yes, what's up?

I wanted to tell you how
much I enjoyed your show.

Thanks, it was a good audience.

I'm from the industry.
I saw you last year at the Silver Dollar.

I admit I miss the rock
and roll you used to do.

Yes, I'm going in a different
direction with more commercial tracks.

I don't understand why
you keep singing here.

You can go to better shops.

- You want better public relations.
- Yes?

I guess you're the one?

I think you're sidelining
yourself, that's all.

Need to go.

Keep in touch.

- Here you go; What are you talking about;
- You said we would succeed.

And so it is. People
are starting to notice you.

I'm sick of these
pop tunes we do.

I miss my old songs.

The record companies are not impressed,
especially if it is sung by a white woman.

I know what is best for you.

When will I start
playing in big clubs?

You're not ready.

I'm not or you don't have
the means to promote me?

What is bothering you today;

Are you still pissed about
seeing Paul? Don't snap at me.

You promised we'd
get a record deal.

And we're just trying
to perfect the demo.

It's your trademark,
that's what will sell you.

I know what I'm doing. I followed the plan.

Your plan can take
forever. See you.

Madonna!

Madonna!

A soda, please.

Here you go. You have a lot of followers.

Four gave me their phone...

...and that woman
invited me to her cottage.

You've blown them away tonight.

- What is he doing?
- It's Mitch.

It has connections
with all the record labels.

Especially at Warner.

He made deals for some artists.

Yes;

Mitch!

Mitch!

You do not know; No smoking.

Let go of my hand now.

My name is Madonna.

What are you doing;

Do you hear that? It's Madonna!

I have a friend.

Jerome Kirkland at Warner.
He must see it. He will go crazy.

Yes;

Call him. What are you waiting for;

He is in the hospital
for open heart surgery.

- He is bedridden.
- This is how I like my men.

Look, Madonna...

...if we're going to work
together, we can't start like this.

Do you want to help me?

We have a little
problem to solve.

You have a manager and I
don't work with a manager.

Whatever I arrange,
I will be the producer.

There's no negotiating
on that, okay?

- Okay.
- I don't like the way it sounds.

I want to say it again.

Not overtime, honey.
Tomorrow again.

OK, we have the fourth shot...

I'm tired of waiting until tomorrow.
I'm tired of the excuses.

- Here you go;
- I can't count on you.

I've risked everything for you,
Madonna. What else do you want;

Our cooperation is
no longer progressing.

Look. If it's the kind
of music you want...

...let's sit down and talk.
If you feel so strongly...

We're past the
discussion stage, Camille.

My company almost went
bankrupt because of you...

...so don't think you're going
to get up and leave just like that.

- Look at me!
- What an ungrateful...

Where do you think you're going?

- You always want to be in front.
- What do you say now;

If someone gets too close
to you, you cut them off...

...for fear of them finding
out who you really are.

It has nothing to do with me.
It's professional.

You can't give me what I want.

Introduce me to someone who can.

I take what I need and move on.

If people don't move
forward with me, I'm sorry.

How can you be so cold?

What the hell is wrong with you?

I'm gone.

Did it all start after
your mother died?

Were you so hurt that you
decided not to feel anything?

You have signed a contract.

If you leave now,
you will get nothing.

No income, no to
pay the band, nothing.

OXIDIZING

- Jerome.
- You will be Madonna.

You look very
healthy today, Jerome.

My name is Mr. Kirkland, young people.

And I feel bad.

I heard your music
is a hit in the clubs.

Yes, it is played everywhere.
At Danceteria, at Lucky Star...

- In Studio 54.
- In Studio 54.

You think Iowa cares
what's playing at Studio 54?

Come here.

You have to see her
sing live. She is incredible.

If you watch the whole package, it
would make an awesome MTV video.

That's all the guys in the
office talk about. All for video.

What do I know about
MTV? I don't like TV.

Anyway, the industry
is dominated by men.

Springsteen, The Rolice...
How can you compete with them?

By not being social.

You will do well
to make us rich.

Let me do whatever I want
and I'll make you a fortune.

- Just don't kill me first!
- Sorry.

MADONNA

Where is my face?

New York - 1983

Am I so ugly they don't
put me on the cover?

How did you decide
without telling me?

Calm down.
It wasn't my decision.

You sound like a black
woman on the radio.

And; It's a compliment.

What does this have
to do with photography?

They don't want
to confuse people.

Until you're successful, they
don't want to say you're white.

Mitch, I've been with the
company for nine months.

I've been tearing up
at work to show off.

I want them to know who I am.

I promise you.

I'll show your face and
style on the next cover.

Until then, what do
you want us to work on?

This.

It's called "Like a Virgin".

It was written years
ago as a ballad.

It's not funny.

I want a song that
will take me to the top.

RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL

Get used to it, Madonna.
That's how it is.

You took my name...

...and that makes
you very special.

I wish you were here, Dad.

Yeah, I've been thinking
about you all day today too.

You think...

...that mom would be
proud of me tonight?

I'm sure about that.

Madonna, you'll be fine.

I have to hang up, Dad.

I miss you, my little Noni.

Wish me good luck.

"Like a Virgin" sold 3.5
million copies in 12 weeks...

...and shot to the top.

Madonna has
earned $190 million...

...and she is one of the
most successful artists.
