(THE BEACH BOYS PLAYING
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE)

Hi, Joe.

Let's go.

Hey, Sally.

Hey, Carl, you want to get
together later and jam?

I can't.
I got an algebra test tomorrow.

You know
how my dad is about grades.

Oh, come on. Chuck Berry is so
much more interesting than algebra.

Okay. But over
at your house.

All right, cool.

See you, man.

? Wouldn't it be nice
if we could wake up

? In the morning
when the day is new ?

(ELECTRIC ORGAN PLAYING)

MURRY:
? Two step, side step, and a whirl-away

? Two step, side step,
took my girl away

? Two step, side step,
what a gloomy day ?

AUDREE:
Carl?

? From the two step
Saturday night

? There was a fella,
and he danced last night

? Who was sittin' pretty
and things were bright

? He had a style,
it seemed just right ?

Carl, honey,
is that you?

Yeah.

Okay.

? Two step, side step,
and a whirl-away

? Two step, side step,
took my girl away

? Two step, side step,
what a gloomy day

? From the two step
Saturday night ?

You know,
I even found a dance to go along with it.

Let's go, honey.

Come on, come on.

If it wasn't for the cha-cha,
and what's that other dance?

The merengue?

(LAUGHING)

Those other ones,
they caught on first, you know.

(HUMMING)

Did you have a good
guitar lesson, sweetheart?

It was great.
We learned a lot of neat chords.

Well, I did, anyway.
Dave just goofs off.

Hey, those lessons
are expensive.

So you pay attention
and make sure you practice.

AUDREE:
Now, Murry...

What's this?

Why is there
a bed in here?

Dad's letting me
move in here.

(PLAYS TAUNTING MELODY
ON PIANO)

You're going to live in
the music room?

Brian's getting to be too old to share
a room with you and Denny, sweetheart.

He needs a place
of his own to go to.

You practically live in here anyway,
listening to all those Four Freshmen records.

Listen to this.

(SWITCHES TAPE PLAYER ON)

(VOCAL HARMONIES PLAYING)

I figured out
all the parts.

This is me and mom. If we sing it
back now, we'll have six-part harmony.

You double my part.
Dad, here's the bass line for you.

That's me, honey.

Where's Dennis?

He doesn't like singing.
You know that.

Well, he should
be here. Dennis?

Dennis?

Dennis?

Dennis?

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

(CHILDREN CHATTERING)

(ROCK AND ROLL SONG
PLAYING ON CAR RADIO)

? Put it heavy on the Chevy
Driving in through the county gate

You gotta come
back sometime.

Mikey!

How's the oil business?

You know, a little oil,
a little gas.

What are you doing
with Uncle Murry's car?

Good tubes
at the Strand.

Yeah. I heard the reports.

? Cool rocker pulling right in
through the gate ?

Brian is such
a brown-nose.

Now he's got
a whole room to himself to do his stupid music.

I'm stuck with Carl.

I keep telling Brian we should get
a group together, but you know how he is.

You got to push him
to get him to do anything.

All that music stuff
is just to get the old man's attention.

I might as well
be invisible.

The only time he ever notices me
is when I do something he doesn't like.

Like this?

(MAN WHOOPING)

I don't want to be
a musician anyway.

James Dean,
he didn't sing.

You're not James Dean.

Not yet.

Hey, Mary,
look at those two.

Cute.

Not bad for a gremmie.

Why do you always
think you're so good at everything?

Because I am.

I didn't see you
hanging ten.

Hey, can I have
a shot of that?

Thanks.

Looks like we got
ourselves a fan club.

Don't you already
have a girlfriend?

Any law says
you can't have more than one?

If it did,
I'd break it.

Let's go.

Don't you dig
this sound?

You guys like music?

And you?

Yep. Me, too.

(SLAPPING)

MURRY: You're never
going to sit your butt in that car ever again!

You got me?

I can't hear you.

(SLAPPING)

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

Every day after school and on the weekends
I want you down at the shop cleaning machines.

You understand?

What did you say?

Good.

Pass the meat
to your father, sweetheart.

So you're going out with
Judy tonight, Brian?

Answer your mother.

Sorry, Mom,
what did you say?

Oh, I was just saying,
you have a nice evening planned?

Oh, yeah. You know,
movie and maybe a shake or something.

How do you expect
to be a musician if you can't hear good?

Whose fault is that?

Nothing.

You were out of line,
so I gave you a whack in the back of the head.

You had it coming,
so quit whining about it.

Yeah, Brian, stop whining about it.
I mean, what's the big deal?

You were only
three years old, anyway.

You want to go back for more,
tough guy? Come on, let's go.

Murry, please.

Not at the table.

You guys think you
got it rough, huh?

Well, let me
tell you something.

I lost this eye
when I wasn't much older than you.

It was an industrial accident
at Goodyear, remember, Audree?

The best thing that ever
happened to me.

Taught me how to fight.

But then,
I had the guts.

You have the guts,
Brian? Huh?

May I be excused?

Why are you always
mollycoddling him? Some fighter.

Put a little pressure on him
and he runs away.

And what are you looking at?

MIKE: Yeah, well, you're not the only
one who's having problems with his old man.

Mine's been bugging me
about the business.

I'm telling you, man,
the music's our way out.

Look, Jan and Dean,
they cut their first single in their garage.

We can do the same thing.

Do you really
believe that?

I don't know.
I gotta think about it.

We've been thinking
about it. Come on.

Let's just do it.

I mean,
we got the talent.

Heck, we've practically
been rehearsing since we were little kids,

doing songs together.

That's just family stuff.

You want to keep singing
at my mom's Christmas parties forever?

There may be people out there who
would actually pay us to make music.

We'll never know
if we don't try.

I gotta go
pick up Judy.

I'm right, Brian.

You know I'm right!

WOMAN ON P.A.:
Order 32.

(ENGINE REVVING)

(ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC

(HORNS HONKING)

Twenty-nine.

Brian.

Brian, there's something
I need to talk to you about.

MAN: Nice car.

What are you
going to do?

Brian?

Brian?

Al?

Al Jardine?

Number 32, your order's ready.

Man, I haven't seen you
since graduation. What are you up to?

Taking some classes
at El Camino.

No kidding. Me, too.
What are you studying?

Psychology and music.

I don't like what
they teach. You?

Dentistry.

You still singing
with that group? What was it called?

The Islanders. No, no.
Starting a new one though.

Going to record
some folk songs.

Tom Dooley,
some Kingston Trio stuff.

The problem is none
of these guys can sing.

Me and Mike
are doing the same thing.

Maybe you could
sing with us.

Yeah. Yeah, maybe.
That sounds good, man.

I'll give you a call.

All right, buddy.
Good to see you.

See you.

(ENGINES REVVING)

Sorry.

Brian.

There's something...

I want you
to have this back.

You don't want it?

Please don't take
it personally.

I mean,
you're really cute.

I just don't think
I'm ready to be engaged.

I'm sorry.

(HUMMING SURFER GIRL)

Hey, Mom.

Look who's here.
Remember Al? Al Jardine?

Brian broke your leg
accidentally at that big game, didn't he?

Yeah, that's me,
Mrs. Wilson.

I hope you don't
hold it against him.

Oh, heck, we were on
the same team.

(CHUCKLES)

Al's thinking about
singing with us.

Oh, wonderful.
Brian, can I talk to you for a second?

This group that you and Mike are talking about.
I want you to include Denny.

Oh, Mom.

Look, I know he's got
the devil in him, but he's a good boy.

He just needs direction.

You know, you can't
make Denny do anything he doesn't want to do.

Have you asked him?

Maybe you should.

(CHILDREN PLAYING)

Promise me?

I promise.

Good to see you, Al.

You too, Mrs. Wilson.

She wants me to include
Dennis in the group.

Dennis?

You believe that?

MURRY: Whatever you need.

Production runs, prototype,
missile, experimental, general maintenance,

or just plain shop machining,
these lathes are your babies.

Now, no other machine
offers such an outstanding amount of features

with such a large
amount of tooling.

Just step into my office
and I'll show you the specs.

MAN: Very good. Very good.

Put your glasses on.
You'll lose an eye.

Thank you.

Hi, Mike.

What are you doing here?
I told you I'd pick you up later.

I'm late for Brian's.

How do you know?
I mean, you don't even look like you're...

I'm three weeks late.

What are we going
to do, Mike?

(SINGING GRADUATION DAY)

? No matter where
our paths may wind

? We'll remember always

? Graduation day

? We'll remember always

? Graduation

? Day ?

Pretty good.

Are you kidding?

It's perfect.
It's great.

Look we've got
enough material. We should record a demo.

Hey, your dad
made some records, right?

Back in the stone age.

Well, why don't we ask him
to arrange an audition for us?

Jeez, Al.

Yeah, Al.
You don't ask our dad anything.

No, you have to make him
think it's his idea...

Yeah, but we're ready.

One more time.

It's perfect.

MURRY: All right,
listen up, listen up. Come here. Listen up.

You know, my sister thinks of us as poor
relations, so don't do anything to embarrass me.

You understand?
Come on.

Ho ho ho!
Merry Christmas, everybody!

Oh, my!

Oh, thank you.

Merry Christmas,
Brian.

Merry Christmas,
Uncle Milton.

Hi, Sis. I thought these
would look good under the tree.

It's good to see you.
It's been too long.

Excuse me, Grandma,
I need to...

MAN: What we like
is every room to have its own theme.

Brian.

They want us to sing.

I know, but we need another
voice for the harmonies.

Brian, you remember what
you promised about your brother singing?

Hey, Denny?

(MAN SINGING
JOY TO THE WORLD)

You think you could
help us out with a song? Can you do Al's harmony?

Well, yeah. I mean, I've been
listening to you guys rehearse for weeks.

I don't know.

I can do this.

Okay.

Merry Christmas, Mom.

And to you.

My goodness,
don't you look well?

Buddy, doesn't
Murry look well?

Merry Christmas, Dad.

Nice house
your sister has.

At least one of you made
something of yourself.

Please, Buddy.
It's Christmas.

Is somebody talking to you?

It's always good
to see you, Mom.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Everybody,
can I have your attention?

The boys have consented
to sing for us. Mike, Brian?

Come on, let's go.

MURRY: I talked to Hite
and Dorinda Morgan today.

They're old friends of mine.

They have a little recording
studio in Hollywood.

They said they'd
give you a shot.

Really?

I told them not to expect too much.
Now, they're doing this as a personal favor.

So don't do anything
to embarrass me. All right?

You got it,
Uncle Murry.

Monday morning, 11:00.
You're on.

(BOYS HARMONIZING)

? And they say violets

? Grow there
the whole year round

? For their hearts

? Were full

(INAUDIBLE)

? Of spring ?

Well, it's very sweet.

But if you want to make a record, you
need to come up with something original.

Something new.

You ever heard about surfing?
It's the latest craze. All the kids are doing it.

Yeah, yeah, Denny's right.
You hear surf reports on the radio every day.

"The hairballs
are really pumping down on the Strand."

(BOYS CHUCKLING)

That's surf talk
for waves.

Brian and Mike have been
working on a song about surfing.

Yeah, you know,
for the wahinis, the hodads,

the stoka boka crowd.

I like the way that sounds.
Whatever it means.

It's not...
Not finished yet.

Well, come back
when it is.

Yeah.

Okay, great.

Thanks a lot, you guys.

What do I know
about surfing? I hate the beach.

Don't worry.
I'll write the lyrics.

I don't even know what
the music's supposed to sound like.

(SURF GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING)

This is not my sound.

Brian, come on.
You write one or two songs like this,

then you can do
any kind of music you want.

Come on, Brian.

(GROANING)
Brian you need this. We all need this, Bri...

Just let me talk to you
for a second, please.

Don't worry.

I didn't want to say this
in front of the other guys, okay?

But, uh...

You remember Amy?

Yeah. Her.

Well, we, uh...

Uh...

Call it an accident.

And I'm going to need some dough, fast,
and I can't exactly ask my folks for it.

Now, if we cut this record
like I've been telling you...

What if your mom
finds out about her?

She's not going
to find out.

How could you
be so thoughtless?

I've arranged with our foreman to start
you as an apprentice on the metal presses.

You'll need the steady income.
We expect you to marry the girl, of course.

I hope you're very
happy together!

(SCREAMING)

(BIRD CAWING)

And when the baby
comes along?

What then?

I'm working on it.

? Bop bop, dip di-dip di-dip,
Bop bop, dip di-dip di-dip

? Surfing, surfing

It works.
It's gonna work.

We gotta get some more
instruments, though.

We gotta get a bass
and drums at least.

Brian, what am I
gonna play?

You can be the drummer.

Sorry for interrupting,
but your father and I are getting ready to leave.

I don't want you boys making
a mess while we're gone,

so I'm leaving meals
for each of you.

Whatever you do,
clean up after yourselves.

You know how your father is.

MURRY: Come on, Audree, I
want to get to Tijuana before dark!

I think you guys
sound really good.

Thanks, Mom.

Coming, Murry.

Thanks, Al.

Sorry, honey.

Brian?

Son, I'm entrusting
this to you.

Now, you're not to use it
except for an emergency. And if you do,

I want every penny
accounted for. You understand me?

Yes, sir.

CARL: Bye, Mom.

CARL: Have a good time.

How much
did he give you?

Two hundred.

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

Please let me play
with you guys.

I don't know.
It's kind of a family thing.

Just ask Brian, okay?

Okay. Yeah.

Thanks.

Dennis!

(IMITATING DRUM RHYTHM)

Got it?

Closer.

Three, four...

Go on, ask him.

Brian.

Dave wants to know
if he can play with us.

What do you play?

Carl plays guitar,
Al plays guitar and bass. I play bass.

Sorry.

One, two, three, four...

(BAND PRACTICING)

You hear that?

Pretty catchy, huh?

? My surfer knots are rising
and my board is losing wax,

? But that won't stop me baby,
cause you know I'm coming back

? I'm going surfin', surfin'

? Surfin', surfin', surfin' ?

Damn it!

Get up.
I said get up!

So this is how you
betray my trust, huh?

You're going back
right now and returning those instruments.

And you're going
to pay back every penny.

You got one week.

Dad listen.
Just listen!

? Got up this mornin',
turned on my radio

? I was checkin' on
the surfin' scene to see if I would go.

? And when the DJ tells me
that the surfin' is fine,

? That's when I know my baby
and I will have a good time.

? We're going surfin',
surfin' ?

You guys might
be on to something.

What are you
calling yourselves?

The Pendletones?

Yeah. You know,
like the shirts.

All the surfers
wear them.

You boys ready?

The Pendletones'
surfing song, take one.

Here we go.
Let's do it.

One, two, three...

? Surfin' is the only life,
the only way for me

? Now surf, surf with me

? Bom bom, dip di dit,

? I got up this mornin',

? That's when I know my baby
and I will have a good time

? We're going surfin', surfin'

? Surfin', surfin', surfin'

? Surfin', surfin, surfin'

? Surfin' is the only life,
the only way for me

? Now surf,
surf with me

? Bom bom, dip di dit,
bom bom, dip di dit

? From the early morning
to the middle of the night

? Any time the surf is up
the time is right ?

Pendletones.

Okay. Let's ship it.

Aren't you guys supposed
to be in school?

Career day. A bunch of boring
assemblies. You remember.

I got a career, anyhow.

You do?

That's not a career.

Ow!

What are you guys doing?

Who is going
to get the eats?

Odd man.

This is rigged.
You both cheat. You're family.

How's the married
man, Mikey?

Married.

Aren't you working
for your dad now?

No, today's
my day off.

Does Amy know that?

RADIO DJ: Hey guys and gals,
here's a new sound we think you'll really dig.

It comes from a local group
here in southern California.

They're calling themselves
The Beach Boys.

(SURFIN' PLAYING ON RADIO)

Listen!

(ALL CHEERING)

That's us!

What did I tell you, man?
Didn't I tell you?

But they called us
The Beach Boys.

I thought we were
The Pendletones.

Who cares?
Beach Boys sounds better!

We're on the radio!

We're on the radio!

MIKE: We're huge stars!

? Surfin', surfin'

? Surfin', surfin'

? Surfin' is the only life,
the only way for me

We're The Beach Boys!

It's good!

We're on the radio!

Wow!

BRIAN: Dennis,
what are you doing?

Groove's sweet.
I like it!

? We'll do the surfer stomp,
it's the latest dance craze ?

We have three lovely young
ladies standing by, waiting to sing for you.

Yes, we heard it.

Really? Oh, thank you
so much for calling.

Murry, Hite says the boys'
song is all over the radio.

Isn't that wonderful?

Honey, I don't think Lawrence Welk
is going to play your song this time.

You know, sometimes
they try to cheat you.

They play your song
and then they try not to pay you for it.

That's why you got keep
your eyes and ears open.

Maybe next time.

(BOYS CHEERING)

We're on the radio!

Mom, they're calling us
The Beach Boys.

I know, Hite told me.
I'm so proud of you all.

Dad, did you hear it?

The mix is lousy.
You can't hear the lyrics.

Mike, you got
a great bass line, but it gets lost.

This is strictly bush league.
Amateur night.

From now on,
I'm gonna be your producer.

(PLAYING SURFIN' SAFARI)

? They're anglin' in
Laguna in Cerro Azul,

? They're kicking
out in Dohini too

? I tell you surfing's
mighty wild

? It's getting bigger
every day ?

Cut it, please.
Boys, you're not blending.

You gotta blend.
Okay, fellas?

Now, from the top.
Let's go.

We're rolling.

? Let's go surfin' now,
everybody's learning how

? Come on and safari with me

? Early in the morning
we'll be startin' out,

? Some honeys
will be comin' along

? We're loading up our Woody
with our boards inside

? And headin' out
singing our song

Six months ago these
kids were nobodies,

and now he thinks they're
the Everly Brothers.

It's better, huh?

? I'm gonna take you
surfin' with me

? Let's go surfin' now,
everybody's learning how,

? Come on and safari with me ?

(SURFIN' SAFARI
PLAYING ON TAPE)

MURRY:
Sounds good, huh?

Yeah, yeah.
It's not bad.

You say these are your sons?

It runs in the family.

Ever since they were little,
all they ever heard in the house was music.

(CHUCKLING)
And an occasional family argument.

So what are you
looking for?

$300 per song,
plus 2.5 percent of the royalties.

And a contract.

I can't make that kind
of decision independently.

Well, we can wait.

My son's downstairs
with his cousin.

I brought them with me
in case you wanted to meet them.

You know, they're good kids.
You can hear the talent.

I'll tell you what.
There's a little cafe down the street.

Why don't you get
something to eat and I'll call you there,

let's say in an hour.

(PHONE RINGING)

Get me Voyle Gilmore.

Hey, Nik,
we'll be waiting across the street.

In an hour.

Voyle, it's Nik Venet.

I got something
I want you to listen to.

No, no. That's what you said
to me about The Lettermen and look what happened.

This is a new teen sound.

It's got nothing do
with girlfriends breaking up

or driving your car
off a cliff.

MURRY:
Pay attention.

This is your future
we're talking about here.

Now, if that guy Nik
asks you anything about copyrights,

you tell him they're
already taken.

Copyrights?

We're going to own
our own songs.

That money stays
in the family.

We don't need any
interlopers horning in.

Now, I talked to an attorney,
and he's going to draw up some papers.

We're going to be partners,
you and me.

Would you like that, son?

Sure. I guess.

Now, since you're a minor,

you'll be a partner
in name only.

Now, you just
leave everything to your old man.

I even thought up a name.

Sea of Tunes
Publishing.

You like it?

Yeah. Why not?

Uh, what about Mike?

If he asks you anything,
you just tell him he's protected.

Anything else,
you keep your mouth shut. You got it?

Did I miss anything?

MURRY: Nah, I'm just telling
Brian not to look too eager.

You know these record guys,
you gotta make them sweat a little.

Excuse me.
Are you Mr. Wilson?

Somebody from Capitol just called. They say Mr.
Venet is ready to see you now.

Thanks.

All right.
Look sharp.

Okay, okay. They paid $900
for three songs on the demo.

Just to make things even,
I'm kicking in an extra hundred.

So that's two C-notes apiece
for each of you guys.

I don't believe it.
Isn't this great?

Yeah.

(ALL CHATTERING)

Thank you, thank you!

Damn it, Al.
You can't leave, we're a group!

Brian, come on.

I mean, $200, that's what
the instruments cost.

Who cares
about the money?

People like us.

My mom and dad think it would be best
if I go to medical school in Michigan.

You don't still want
to be a dentist?

I'm sorry, guys.
Really, I am.

I wish you all the best.

Quitter!

Go on,
be a dentist!

What now?

(LAWNMOWER PUTTERING)

MURRY:
That's it, Dave. Big smile.

And make sure you get their
good sides, all right?

Dennis, you don't
have a good side.

Now get the whole group.
Come on you guys, this isn't a graduation photo.

I don't know anybody who's
ever taken pictures of kids signing contracts.

Now, this is just the
beginning, so don't get a big head.

You guys are too green for the big
time, so we'll have to build you up first.

Every disk jockey
in this town promotes something.

Record store opening,
sock hops, you name it.

We're going
to play them all.

It doesn't pay anything,
but that kind of goodwill you just can't buy.

? Let's go surfin' now
Everybody's learnin' how

Up there?

Just go stand
around the truck.

? Early in the morning
we'll be startin' out

? Some honeys
will be comin' along

? We're loading up our Woody
with our boards inside

Yeah.

? And headin' out
singin' our song

? Come on baby
wait and see

? I'm gonna take you
surfin' with me

? Come on baby
wait and see

? I'm gonna take you
surfin' with me ?

MURRY:
Everybody's going to know your faces.

I'm going to plaster
this town with pictures.

If you want success,
you got to fight for it.

You know where our families lived
when they first came to California?

In tents on the beach.

It wasn't easy back then.
Nobody handed them anything.

Everything they got,
they earned it. Remember that.

Image. That's everything.
Now, let's go get them.

(PLAYING SHUT DOWN)

? My Stingray is light,
the slicks are startin' to spin

? But the four-thirteen's
really diggin' in

? Gotta be cool now,
power shift here we go ?

Be happy.
Let's see it.

Happy like this, see?

Dave, treble up.
Treble up. Be happy!

Here, take some buttons.
Go on, mingle.

Huh, what did you say?
You want me to pass them out?

Give them to everybody.

Would you like a button?
They're from The Beach Boys.

? And now the four-thirteen's
lead is startin' to shrink

? He's powered by ram
induction but it's understood

? I got a fuel-injected engine
sittin' under my hood

? Shut it off, shut it off,
buddy now I shut you down

? Shut it off, shut it off,
buddy now I shut you down

? Shut it off, shut it off,
buddy now I shut you down ?

Shut down, yeah.

Whoa.

You know,
those Pendleton shirts, they really gotta go.

We need something that
says "California."

What do you think
of the new look, Nik?

I got these shirts
on sale at Penney's.

Good clean fun.
That's what we're selling.

We'll see how it plays
on the national market.

Listen, you guys
are going on the road.

The Beach Boys
have an opportunity

to be the national ambassadors
of California culture.

Now, we need to strike
while this iron is hot, and keep striking.

MURRY: Do you remember
what Nik called you guys?

Ambassadors.

Now this is a business,
so you got to act right.

Now listen up.

Out here in the sticks
you're nobodies.

So you got to stop loafing
and set a good example.

Now first off,
everybody's on an allowance.

Since nobody understands
the value of money, I'm going to be the bank.

I'll keep tabs on the proceeds, and
I'll give you your share on the way home.

And just to make sure everybody
stays in line, there's going to be fines.

You write one song, they want three
more, like we're machines or something.

How many surf songs
do we gotta write?

Why mess with
a good thing, man?

Hey, we are bringing
the California gospel to the people.

Now, listen up.

Anybody cusses
in front of people, that's $100.

Any booze,
that's another hundred.

Hey!

Any fraternizing,
that's five big ones.

I think I made myself clear.

? Inside, outside, USA ?

That's you up high.
Underneath all that, I'm going to be coming up

with just, you know,
all the different beaches we ever go to.

Del Mar, Ventura, Santa Cruz,
Trestles, Pacific Palisades, Redondo...

(BURPS)

Oh, jeez, Dave.
Come on. God.

Oh, that's good.

You can be the clown, Dave.
That's real funny.

What do you say I keep a hundred
and we call it even? Huh? Is that funny?

(STRUMS RIFF)

Play that again.

(PLAYING RIFF
FROM SURFIN' USA)

MIKE: ...and it goes
like this!

(PLAYING SURFIN' USA)

? If everybody had an ocean

? Across the USA

? Then everybody'd be surfin'

? Like Californi-a

? You'd see 'em
wearin' their baggies

? Huarachi sandals too

? A bushy bushy blonde hairdo

? Surfin' USA ?

Let's go!

? You'd catch 'em
surfin' at Del Mar

? Ventura county line

? Santa Cruz and Trestle

? Australia's Narabine

? All over Manhattan

? And down Doheny way

? Everybody's gone surfin'

? Surfin' USA

Dave!

? We'll all be
planning that route

? We're gonna take real soon

? We're waxing down
our surfboards

? We can't wait for June ?

Dave! Treble up!

Treble up!
Be happy.

? You tell the teacher
we're surfin' ?

? Surfin' USA ?

Hey, let's go!

? Haggerties and Swamies

? Pacific Palisades

? San Anofree and Sunset

? Redondo Beach, LA

? All over La Jolla

? At Waimia Bay

? Everybody's gone surfin'

? Surfin' USA

? Everybody's gone surfin'

? Surfin' USA

? Everybody's gone surfin'

? Surfin' USA

? Yeah, everybody's
gone surfin'

? Surfin' USA ?

(ALL SCREAMING)

(EXCLAIMING)

This must be what it was like
when Elvis started!

You hear anything?

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

(ANNOUNCER CHATTERING
ON RADIO)

Your old man is a real
stage dad. It's like having a principal.

At least Dennis is having fun.
Did you see that girl he was with?

She was stacked, man!

Shh, cool it.

DENNIS:
Damn it, he's waiting!

GIRL:
Just one more kiss.

(GIRL GIGGLING)

We should have
left you here!

What did I tell you, huh?

That is the last time
I ever let you do that to me.

Is that right, huh?

Denny.

Denny!

Denny, get off.

Denny, you're crazy!
Come on.

Denny!

Denny, come on, man.

Get off him!
Get off him, man!

All right, tough guy.

BRIAN: Denny!

You just forfeited your
share of the whole tour.

Maybe that'll
teach you a lesson.

(THE BEACH BOYS PLAYING
SURF CITY)

? Surf City, here we come

? I'll strap my board
to my back and hitch a ride in my wetsuit

? Surf city, here we come

? And when I get to Surf City
I'll be shooting the curl

? And checking out the parties
for a surfer girl

? And we're going
to Surf City

? 'cause it's two to one

? You know
we're going to Surf City, gonna have some fun

? You know
we're going to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one

? You know, we're going
to Surf City, gonna have some fun now

? Two girls for every

? Two girls for every boy ?

(HARMONIZING)

That's the one.

Yes.

Thanks for
the great tune, man.

Yeah. We've really
been wanting to put one of your songs

on a Jan and Dean record
for a while.

Are you kidding?
It's an honor. You guys are legends.

Hey, I resent that.
We're not old enough to be legends.

(BRIAN LAUGHS)

That was fun.

What is that sound?

They call them
The Wrecking Crew.

Man, they're cutting a track
for Spector.

Spector?
He's the best! He's here?

Why? You want to meet
that jerk?

Yeah!

(PLAYING
DO I LOVE YOU?)

There he is.
Phil Spector himself.

And that's
The Wrecking Crew. You see that stick man?

That's Hal Blaine.
He used to play with Count Basie.

That's Carol Kaye
on Fender.

You got the best
of the best in there.

Why pound on the keyboard
when you can have them do it better?

Hold it. Hold it.

(BAND STOPS PLAYING)

Phil says
take it back eight bars.

Hey, Phil,
this is Brian Wilson.

He's a big fan
of yours.

I've heard your stuff.
Let's go.

Okay, gentlemen.
I'll give you four.

And one, two,
three, four.

(BAND PLAYS)

So how's
the new house?

A little smaller.
A lot smaller, actually, near the airport.

The planes flying over.

But the schools are good. Your brother
never has any trouble making friends.

Mom? How's mom doing?

Well, your mother
is a proud woman.

This is hard for her.
But she's doing the best she can.

Yeah. Look, um, Dad,

if there is anything
I can do for you...

I'm still picking up
some small job work.

Something permanent
will turn up soon.

Things just grew too fast.

Before I knew it,
there was a mountain of bad debt, creditors...

Hey, we'll be fine.

Yeah. Yeah,
I know you will.

Son.

I just wanted you
to know your mother...

Your mother and I
are very proud of you.

Thanks, Dad.

Are they okay?

I'm not going to let it
happen to me, Amy.

Whatever it takes,
I'm never going to let it happen to me.

This is great.

First you give away your number-
one record to a group outside the label.

Now you want to hire
your own musicians and record in your own studio.

No other band
in the business has had that.

Wait a minute, Nik.

You name me another band
that plays all its own instruments.

Name me another band
that writes its own songs.

The Beach Boys don't need
you guys calling the shots.

I just want to make music
the way I hear it, like Spector does.

That's absolutely
out of the question, Brian.

Nik, I got about
3,000 words to say.

First of all, you guys don't know how to
produce a rock and roll hit in your own studio.

Is that right?

I mean,
show some gratitude.

All right, Brian.
Say we let you produce your own stuff,

you still gotta deliver
the singles.

There's no time
to play around.

He knows that.

He's almost 21.

Brian?

I...

Will you give us
a minute, Nik?

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Nik, just a minute.

Okay.

Brian,

just do me a favor,
all right?

Next time you write
a number one hit,

write it for us, okay?

(CHUCKLES)

All right.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

You proud of yourself now,
smart guy?

You just made
a pot of money for Jan and Dean.

Brilliant. Genius.

Your success is supposed
to stay in the family, remember?

Now, you and Mike
are gonna sit down and crank out some songs.

It's not that easy.

What, you think you can
just go off on your own,

forget about
your responsibilities?

No. Everyone keeps
reminding me.

You know,
you're carrying the ball for a lot of people.

Just don't fumble it.

(PLAYING SURFER GIRL)

? Do you love me

? Do you surfer girl,
surfer girl

? My little surfer girl

? I have watched you

? On the shore

? Standing by the ocean's roar

? Do you love me

? Do you surfer girl

? Surfer girl, surfer girl

? We could ride
the surf together

? While our love would grow

? In my Woody I would take you

? Everywhere I go

? So I say from me to you

? I will make your
dreams come true

? Do you love me

? Do you surfer

? Girl, surfer girl,
my little surfer girl

? Little girl, surfer girl,
my little surfer girl

? Little girl, surfer girl

? My little surfer girl ?

Thank you.
We're going to take a short break.

We'll be back
in ten minutes.

(CROWD GROANING
DISAPPOINTEDLY)

We'll be back.
Thank you.

Good job, man.

Hi, I'm Dennis.
It's nice to meet you.

Hi, thanks for coming.

He's coming over.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm Brian.

You sure are.

I'm Marilyn and this is my
sister, Diane.

And this is
our cousin, Ginger.

I've seen you here before,
haven't I?

Actually, this is
my third night.

I saw you first
and then I told them they had to come.

Can I have a sip
of your hot chocolate?

Yeah.

We're singers, too.

Really?

The Honeys.

Like in your song,
Surfin' Safari.

(GIRLS GIGGLING)

Well, I'd like
to hear you sometime.

You would? Really?

(GIRLS EXCLAIMING)

(GIRLS EXCLAIMING)

I'm... I'm...
I'm sorry about that.

I'm sorry,
I'm such a...

Hey, can we get some more
napkins over here, please?

I'm so sorry.

MARILYN:
So do you want to come in?

(MUSIC PLAYING ON CAR RADIO)

What about your parents?
It's kind of late.

Oh, they're used to it.
Come on.

(GIRLS GIGGLING)

Marilyn, Diane?
Is that you?

Yes, Dad. Who else?

Oh, hello.

Dad this is Brian.
He's one of the Beach Boys.

Oh, what an illustrious guest my daughters
bring home in the middle of the night.

Brian, these two girls,
they play your records so much

I feel like
I already know you.

MRS. ROVELL:
Marilyn, Diane?

Honey, this is Brian,
the Beach Boy.

Oh, how nice.

Would you like
something to eat, Brian?

Oh, no thanks.
I don't want to be any trouble.

Please, a big boy like
yourself should eat.

Well, I am kind
of hungry.

Good. Marilyn,
I like him.

So...

(CHUCKLING)
Well...

They're nice,
your folks.

They're okay.
We like them.

It's a nice house.
Friendly.

Do you play?

She's amazing.
She can pick out any tune.

I'm like that.

Play us something.

Okay.

(WHISPERING)
Go sit down.

(PLAYING IN MY ROOM)

? There's a world where

? I can go and

? Tell my secrets to

? In my room

? In my room

(THE BEACH BOYS SINGING
IN MY ROOM)

? In my room

? In my room ?

I bet you take
all your girlfriends here.

I don't have girlfriends.

I don't believe you.

It's true.

Dennis,
girls like him.

Him and Mike.

I had a girlfriend, Judy.

What happened to her?

Is that why
you write songs?

Uh, it's hard to explain.

I'll hear something
that's really good

and all of a sudden
I want to do it really better.

I just get that
competition feeling.

It's almost like
I'm most inspired when feeling inferior.

Does that sound crazy?

No. No, not to me.

My family
is real musical.

My dad,

the only way
to talk to him is through music, you know?

As long as
the music plays,

nothing bad
can happen.

Well, when you sing,
it's like,

I don't know,

like I'm hearing
who you really are.

It's like you're singing
just for me.

One, two, three, four.

? When some loud braggart
tries to put me down

? And says his school is great

? I tell him right away
Now what's the matter, buddy

? Ain't you heard of my school

? It's number one
in the state ?

Hey, hey, take it away!
Get that ball and fight!

? So be true to your school

? Just like you would
to your girl or guy

? Be true to your school now

? And let your colors fly

? Be true to your school

? I got a letterman's sweater
with a letter in front

? I got for football and track
I'm proud to wear it now

? When I cruise around
the other parts of the town

? I got my decal in back,
so be true to your school now

? Just like you would
to your girl or guy

? Be true to your school now

? Let your colors fly

? Be true to your school

I thought you said
he wasn't coming to any more of the sessions.

I thought he should hear.
He'll like it.

Who cares
what he likes, Bri?

Murry, I thought we
agreed Brian would be doing the producing.

Oh, come on, Nik.
Who are you kidding?

Everybody knows
this is a team effort.

Excuse me.

No, no. You gotta help out a little
bit, all right? You gotta surge their voices.

Maybe we can speed up
this tape a tone or two, make them sound younger.

All right?

? Be true to your school now

? And let your colors fly

? Be true to your school ?

Push 'em back, push 'em back.
Way back!

? Ra ra ra ra, sis-boom-ba ?

Cut. Cut the music.
Cut the music.

Brian, Mike, you got a
wonderful tune here, but you're too tight.

Loosen up. Be happy.

And you're too shrill
on that harmony kick.

Dennis, you're flatting, dear.
And Mike, you sound a little nasal, buddy.

Brian, he is out of control.

You gotta do something.

So you think you're good?
You think you're big stars, huh?

Well, let's fight.

Let's fight for success.
You guys got any guts?

Well, let's hear it.
Let's go.

(TAPE CLICKS ON)

(TAPE HUMMING)

Okay, we're going again.

One, two, three, four...

I don't know
what to do.

He's driving everybody crazy,
Brian, not just you.

But you're the one
who's going to have to do something about it.

He's your dad.

Well...

Is that yours?

Yeah.

You like her?

What happened
to the coupe?

I wanted a better
set of wheels.

Amy gave me grief
about it, of course.

But you gotta look
the part, right?

Besides, girls dig
sharp wheels, man.

Go around the other side
and help me with this, would you?

Oh, hey, guess who I saw
cruising the 'wich stand the other day?

Who?

You're kidding.

We should talk to him.

My dad says
I'm spending too much time in the studios.

He thinks I should
play gigs all the time.

I wish I could enjoy it
like you, but I can't.

The amps make
my bad ear buzz.

Whoa, whoa, wait. Whoa.

You're not talking about
quitting, are you?

No. I mean...

I don't want
to let anybody down, but...

You think Al would
want to come back?

? Little deuce coupe,
you don't know what I got

? Little deuce coupe,
you don't know what I got

? Well I'm not braggin' babe,
so don't put me down

? But I've got the fastest
set of wheels in town

? When something comes
up to me he don't even try

? 'Cause if it had
a set of wings, man I know she could fly

? She's my little deuce coupe

? You don't know what I got

? Just a little deuce coupe
with a flat head mill

? But she'll walk
a Thunderbird like it's standin' still

? She's ported and relieved
and she's stroked and bored

? She'll do 140
with the top end floored

? She's my little deuce coupe

? You don't know what I got

? She's got
a competition clutch with the four on the floor

? And she purrs like a kitten
till the lake pipes roar

? And if that ain't enough
to make you flip your lid

? There's one more thing,
I got the pink slip, daddy

? And comin' off the line
when the light turns green

? Well she blows 'em outta
the water like you never seen

(SOUND MUFFLED)

? Get pushed out of shape
and it's hard to steer

? When I get rubber
in all four gears

? She's my little deuce coupe

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Hey, Bri. Are you okay?

He's just a little tired.
That's all.

It's no fun for me
anymore, Carl.

It's bad, Mom.

Great concert.

Great to have you
back on the team, Al.

It sure beats learning
to fill cavities.

Hey, Dave,
you know the rules.

Everybody carries
their own amp.

It's too heavy.

You don't smile
when you're playing.

Now you expect somebody
to strike your equipment?

What do you think?
You're some kind of big shot?

You'd be happy if I quit,
wouldn't you?

All right, then I quit.
You happy now?

You heard him.
He quit. He's out.

You're out, Dave.

I hate you, Murry.

(LAUGHING)

(LAUGHING)
"I hate you, Murry."

Here you go, fellas.

No ack-ack greets
this invading plane

arriving at New York City's
Kennedy Airport.

But the pandemonium created
by the 3,000 teenagers on hand

to greet the sortie of
Britain's bristling Beatles

is something one might expect
from a collision of planets.

Liverpool's contribution to American
culture is something that, to say the least,

sparks many diametrically
opposed reactions.

It's not true,
it's not true!

MURRY:
You know what this makes you guys?

Yesterday's news.

TV ANNOUNCER: New York's most conservative
hotel is The Beatles' headquarters

for their stay in
the metropolis...

British invasion, huh?

You don't know who
you're messing with.

NIK: All right. No, no, no.
Don't tell me that.

Just do it.

Number one priority here,
all right? What?

They just called from downstairs.
Murry's on his way up with the Beatles.

I'll call you back, okay?
All right. Fine.

I'm not here. Okay?
I'm not here.

Okay.

Oh, Mr. Wilson,
Mr. Venet is not in his office.

He is not in his office.

(PHONE RINGING)

Let me go!

What's the big idea?

You think you can give away a Beach
Boy record on the flip side of a promo

for these... These Liverpool
lunkheads, huh?

You got them smiling
out of every record store window in this town.

Probably the whole country.

So you think my boys
are has-beens, huh, Nik?

Well, let me tell
you something.

They made a lot of
money for this label.

Not that you can tell
by the size of the royalty checks.

But I've seen the numbers.

So there's going to be
some changes around here. You hear me, Nik?

Some big changes.

I'll leave you with
your new pals here.

(DOOR SLAMS)

Coming through.

What do you think, huh?

You write us a couple
of hit songs, we take them on the road,

and we're back in business.

Yeah. How about
a little appreciation?

Murry.

and I'm giving myself
full-time to the group.

Your father just wants
to help, sweetheart.

It's a 50/50 world, Mom.

What's the matter?
You making too much money, buddy?

Money? None of us are doing
this just for the money.

Yeah. So you think
you got it made, huh?

No, I don't. I just want to write music
in the studio where I can do what I want.

Look, if you want to be
a quitter, that's okay.

All I'm asking you
to do is...

Is to be a man.

Can you do that?

What do you know
about being... About anything!

I told him
he could stay with us.

Please, Dad, Mom, if you'd
only seen his face when he came by the store.

He was so sad.

Honey...

You could sleep in
the girls' room.

Marilyn will
share with Diane,

and you can
take her bed.

Um...

Thanks, Mrs. Rovell.

Always remember.

Thanks, Mom.

Good night, sweetie.

Good night.

Thank you.

May, this idea,
it's foolish.

Foolish?

You want it to happen in the back
of a car rather than in your own house?

Think about it.

(THE HONEYS SINGING
HE'S A DOLL)

? Well he's not very tall
and he's not too short

? He's just the right guy

? And with his
silly blonde hair and his great big smile

? Oh what a sight now

? Because he's such a doll

? He's so gorgeous

? What a guy now

Nice.

That's a D.

That's a D!

Al, is this a D?

Carl, Dennis,
your laundry's done.

Thank you.

Make sure they take them
this time. Hi, sweetie.

Oh, hello.

Come in.
You want something to eat?

No, no, not right now.
Thanks, Mrs. Rovell.

You didn't bring
Amy this time?

I'm afraid we're not together
anymore, Mrs. Rovell.

Oh, I'm sorry
to hear that.

Yeah, yeah.
Me, too.

Yeah, she got the apartment
and the kid. All I got was that car out there.

Good seeing you,
Mrs. Rovell.

Hey, Denny,
is that your Ferrari out there?

It's a honey,
isn't she?

This is Deborah,
my new girlfriend.

This is Mike.
He sings in the band.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

How's that go?

Sounds real good.
Sounds real good.

I heard you all the way
down the street.

Looking real good, too.

Brian, how's
that song going?

Which song?

I don't know. Those guys are hard to beat.
They're good. The Beatles?

Yeah. Well, we're better.
Here, I got some new stuff.

? I'm gettin' bugged
driving up and down the same old strip

? I gotta find a new place
where the kids are hip ?

That's the way I feel
right now, you know? Like I'm stuck.

I need a new sound.

Sounds great, Denny.

MIKE:
This one sounds pretty good to me.

And hasn't anybody
ever told you,

you got write
from inspiration, not desperation?

That's where you
and I are different. Okay, here's your hook.

? Round round
Get around I get around ?

All right?
That's your hook.

Then next you need
a verse that goes up. Something like...

? My buddies and me
are getting real well-known

? Yeah, the bad guys know us
and they leave us alone

? I get around

? From town to town

? I'm a real cool head

? I'm makin' real good bread

? I get around

? Ooo wah wah ooo

We gotta sell the melody
on this one, Nik, because the lyrics aren't much.

Let's surge a little.

? We always take my car
'cause it's never been beat

Chuck, you gotta
do something.

It's okay.

I got it rigged so it only
sounds that way in the booth.

I got all the real
controls back here.

Good work.

? To leave their best girl
home now on Saturday night

? I get around

? From town to town

? I'm a real cool head

? I'm makin' real good bread

? I get around ?

Brian.

Fellas, quit screaming
and start singing from your hearts.

Great. I got one good
ear left and his big loud voice is killing it.

Get him out of here,
Brian, or I swear I'm gonna hurt somebody.

I'll leave, Brian,
if you're going to give me a bad time.

We like to record
in an atmosphere of calmness,

and you're not
presenting that.

Well, this music
doesn't make any sense.

It's got no structure,
the bass line's mush.

You gotta help it out.

Now can we hear a chord?

Just a chord like we used to play
when we used to make... Make real records.

Please. Okay?

(CLEARING THROAT)

(PLAYS PIANO CHORD)

(BOYS SINGING CHORD)

You're flatting again, Dennis.

That's it.

Denny, cool it.

Take it easy.

Hey! Relax.

Look, all this phony
singing for money just isn't going to cut it.

Now, I know you're not used to people
talking to you this way, but I'm your father.

Dad.

When you guys get so big
that you stop singing from your hearts,

you're going downhill.

Downhill?

You don't know what
you're talking about.

You're too old-fashioned.

After all I've done for you.

And you talk to me that way?
You're an ingrate.

You get a little taste
of success and you think you own the business.

(GRUNTS)

God!

Get out, Dad!

You're fired!

You all in on this?
Mike?

I won't forget this.

Let's go again.

Okay, Chuck.

? Two step, side step,
then a whirl-away

? Two step, side step,
took my girl away

? Two step, side step,
what a gloomy day

? From the two step
Saturday night

? There was a belle
at the dance that night

? Who was sittin' pretty
and things were bright

(SIGHS)

? She had a style
that seemed just right

(GROANS)

? Two step, side step,
all of the night

? Two step, side step,
then a whirl-away

? Two step, side step,
what a gloomy day

Oh, Brian.

(VOICE BREAKING)
Brian.

? From the two step
Saturday night

? Now people crowd around
to get a glance at the two step... ?

MINISTER: Brian, do you
take Marilyn to be your lawfully wedded wife

till death do you part?

I do.

And Marilyn, do you take Brian
to be your lawfully wedded husband

till death do you part?

I do.

Then by the power
vested in me by the state of California,

I now pronounce you
man and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

Mazel tov.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. and Mrs. Brian Wilson.

I'm so happy for you.

He didn't come.

Your father hasn't
been feeling well.

Stop making excuses for him.
He should have been here.

(THE BEACH BOYS PLAYING
DON'T WORRY BABY)

? Well it's been building up
inside of me

? For oh,
I don't know how long

? I don't know why
but I keep thinking

? Something's bound
to go wrong

? But she looks in my eyes

? And makes me realize,
and she says

? Don't worry baby ?

Brian okay?

You ought to know.
Somebody from your office is always on his back.

I know it's hard, Marilyn.
For Brian, for Mike, and for everybody.

But you gotta look
at the results.

We got seven songs
in the top 40.

Isn't that enough?

Doesn't he deserve
a break?

We haven't even had time
for a real honeymoon yet.

He spent it
in here recording.

Maybe after the promo
for the new single.

Brian hates the road, Nik.
You know that.

Marilyn, what do you
want me to tell you?

That's the business.
You gotta put out.

You are good, man.

You're an artist, and that guy
should not be pushing you so hard, man.

You're not a trained monkey.

Thanks.
They want hits.

You know, I got to admit. A lot of
us, we weren't so sure about you at first.

You looked like
this crazy kid, you know?

But man,
what you do with the music,

I can dig it.

Genius. Really.

That's what some
people are saying.

I'm not a genius.
I'm just a hardworking guy.

Don't sell yourself
short, man.

I know people,

enlightened people.

You should meet them.
They could help you out.

What do you mean,
"enlightened people"?

This is my hang.
These are my people.

(BONG BUBBLING)

That's Samuel Pierce,
one of the best studio musicians around.

The guy can play anything.
Accordion, piano, whatever, write songs.

Likes to talk, too.

Samuel. Say hello
to Brian Wilson.

Hello, Beach Boy.

Better than homegrown.

Try it.

Well, you might have seen me playing
clarinet for Art Linkletter's House Party.

You get used to it.

Or maybe you recall
that series Heidi?

Yeah, I was one of
the children on that.

I'll admit the show was
completely lackluster,

but you'll have to assign
the blame for that elsewhere.

One of the problems
in being a child prodigy

is people expect you to excel at occupations
that you may find personally distasteful.

Man, even when I'm stoned
I can't understand half the stuff he's saying.

I want you
to meet some friends.

This is for you.

This is for me!

Cool place.
Cool people.

This is Allison.

And this is Lorraine.
Lorraine, right?

The Beach Boys
isn't your scene.

You're past that.

I got a little Christmas
present for your nephew.

Dennis, you're so sweet.

I gotta go.

Final call.

I had a great time
last night.

Plane time. Bri?

I was so worried
about you last night.

I called everybody.
What happened to you?

AL: I'll call you
as soon as I get back. I promise.

Some people wanted
to meet me.

Enlightened people.

Well, I saw Tommy Schaeffer
attach himself to you at the studio.

Where did he take you?

A party.

What kind of party?

Marilyn,
you're not my dad.

Sir? Thank you.

I think you can
take that.

Brian, are you okay?

Brian, try to relax.
We're almost there.

MURRY: Now what kind of a musician
do you expect to be if you can't hear?

You were out of line,
so I gave you a whack on the back of the head.

You had it coming to you,
so quit whining about it.

DENNIS: Yeah, Brian,
stop whining about it.

I mean what's the big deal?
You were only three years old anyway.

MURRY: No guts, Brian.
You're an infant!

BRIAN:
You don't know what you're talking about!

You're too old-fashioned.

When you guys get so big
that you stop singing from your hearts,

you're going downhill.

Get out, Dad!
You're fired!

Brian?

Brian, are you all right?

Brian?

Brian, what's wrong?

I love you.

(PANTING)

Come on,
sit back down, Brian.

Bri.

I'm going
to get some help.

Brian, what's going on?

Brian, it's okay.

He's having
trouble breathing.

Brian, it's okay.

Brian, come on.
Hang in there, man. Hang in there.

What's going on?

It's okay,
we're here.

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello?

Mom, it's Carl.

Oh, hi, honey.
Is everything all right?

No. Something
happened to Brian.

WOMAN ON P.A.: Air Austin
flight 115 has arrived from Houston at gate four.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Baby.

Are you okay?

Flight 115 has arrived
at gate four.

Where would you
like to go?

Home.

To your apartment
or our house?

Home.

Your father found some
tenants, but they haven't moved in yet.

I'm afraid it won't look
the way you remember it.

Your father
built a music room in the new house.

I know he'd love
for you to see it.

Remember how you guys
used to bring us in here when we were little?

Dad would bang something out
and you'd sing along.

You had us doing it, too.

Even Denny.

Of course I remember,
sweetheart.

All my life
I've heard music.

Grandma Wilson used to
play Rhapsody in Blue

on her old Victrola.

Every time I'd go over there,
I'd say, "Play Blue, Grandma!"

You know what
the very first song you ever sang for us was?

When You Wish Upon A Star,
from Pinocchio.

What happened, Mom?

All I wanted to do
was to make them happy.

Dad, the guys.

Why can't they
just be happy?

Why do they always
want more?

Brian.

You have a God-given talent.

A gift.

You can't blame other
people if they want you to share that with them.

You think I'll ever
get to be happy too?

Of course you will.

Brian, listen to me.

You can do anything
you set your mind to.

You just have
to do it, baby.

The rest will take
care of itself.

Always does.

Who will sing your part?

"You'll have
to find somebody"?

You mean all of us, right? Or is this
all of a sudden everything just about you?

What are you doing, Brian?
The harmonies won't sound the same.

You're just quitting?

I just said
I don't want to be on stage anymore.

What about the rest of us?
Don't we have a say about this?

Brian, please.

The Beach Boys
have a beautiful future,

but the only way
we can achieve that is if you do your job

and let me do mine!

It's over.
