(PLAYING CALIFORNIA GIRLS)

? Well, East Coast
girls are hip

? I really dig
those styles they wear

? And the Southern girls,
with the way they talk

? They knock me out
when I'm down there

? The Midwest
farmers' daughters

? Really make you
feel all right

? And the Northern girls,
with the way they kiss

? They keep their
boyfriends warm at night

? I wish they all
could be California

? Wish they all
could be California

? I wish they all could be
California girls

? The West Coast
has the sunshine

? And the girls
all get so tanned

? I dig a French bikini
on Hawaiian Island dolls

? By a palm tree
in the sand

? I been all around
this great big world

? And I seen
all kinds of girls

? Yeah, but I couldn't wait
to get back to the States

? Back to the
cutest girls in the world

BRIAN: Look at Mike.
He's paying more attention to the girls

than he is
to the playback.

If you feel that way,
you should be up there with him.

You know they want you to.
Mike said so himself.

No, I can't do that.

Bruce should
catch on soon.

Come on, Dennis!

Listen to yourself. I swear, sometimes
you sound just like your father.

Remember how
he used to criticize everything you did?

? I wish they all
could be California

? I wish they all
could be California

? I wish they all
could be California

? I wish they all
could be California

? I wish they all
could be California

? I wish they all
could be California ?

(TWO STEP, SIDE STEP
PLAYING ON STEREO)

? Saturday night,
Saturday night

? Saturday night ?

Audree.

Audree!

Yeah, Murry?

Play my song again,
would you, dear?

You're gonna wear
that record out, Murry.

You shouldn't spend
so much time in bed.

Those ungrateful bastards.

They need me
more than I need them.

Don't worry,
they'll know it soon enough.

Don't think like that.

Play the record.

Okay.

(TWO STEP, SIDE STEP PLAYING)

? We're doin' that
two step, side step

? Then a whirl-away
Two step, side step

? Tilt the man away
Two step, side step

? What a gloomy day ?

Don't be surprised
if it's a little, uh,

weird inside.

What do you mean?

Oh, you'll find out.

Let's wait for Mike.

You know,
strength in numbers.

(CLASSICAL MUSIC
PLAYING ON PIANO)

MAN:
Come back, baby.

I told you
he was good.

Good? He's great.

Where'd you learn
to play like that?

Well, a classical
education has its merits.

And like all of us
wayward practitioners of song,

I have been known
to sing for my supper on more than one occasion.

Marilyn, are these
people here every day?

Yeah. I call them
"the drainers."

They just hang around here
feeding off of Brian.

Well, why do you
let them in?

I can't keep them out.

Brian's like a little kid.

You tell him
he can't have something,

and he'll find
a way to get it.

Look, I don't like them
any more than you do,

but believe me,
I'd rather know that Brian's here

than worry about
where he's spending his time.

Yeah, it's just that
we haven't had any new material in four months,

so people are
getting nervous.

You'll get your songs,
Nik, you always do.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Excuse me.

Hey, Nik.

Brian.

Have you heard
Rubber Soul, man?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've heard it.

I wanna do an album
like this, where the whole thing is a gas,

and all good stuff,
with, like, a theme, you know?

45 singles, that's over.
This is where it's at now, man.

Hey, listen, Brian,
nobody's asking you to be The Beatles.

I've had occasion
to meet some Beatles,

the individuals,
and I hold nothing against them.

They're handsome,
but they're also transcontinental,

and I don't like that.

(CHUCKLING)

Hey, Marilyn,
how are you?

Good to see you.

Hi, Al.
Come on in.

Nik's here.
I know he wants to talk to you.

Great.
You remember Bruce.

Oh, the phantom
Beach Boy.

Yeah, I've read
that, too.

Come on in.

Brian can't wait
to meet you.

Whoa! You weren't
kidding out there.

Yeah. Well,
we love the songs, don't we?

BRIAN: Hey, Mike.

Hey, Brian,
how are you?

Hey, Al.

Hey, Brian,
good to see you.

You know
everybody, right?

Have you met Samuel?

No.

Down where I come from,
we got a saying about cousins.

It's all right to invite
one into your home, just don't marry one.

(BRIAN CHUCKLING)

Bruce, how do you
like being a Beach Boy?

Glen Campbell
sure didn't.

You know, when I played
in The Rip Chords,

we used to fake
your sound all the time,

but the real thing's
not so easy.

I know.

So, Brian,
you see the show the other night?

We saw it, yeah.

What did you think?

It was... Yeah.

Who was that girl
you were dancing with?

You mean Pamela.

She's nothing serious.

(PAMELA GIGGLING)

Michael, this is Pamela.

Oh, Mike.
This is where we live?

Oh, it must have
been expensive.

Cost about three
number one records. You like it?

Like it?
Oh, my God. I love it!

(GASPS)

Oh, Mike,
I can't believe it.

Oh, Mike.

I can't believe it.

I love it.
It's beautiful.

One night I'm in college,
and now look at me,

I'm married
to a Beach Boy.

You sure know
how to treat a girl.

Well, if she's nice.

I've proved that,
haven't I?

(SIGHS)

I can't wait
to start redecorating.

We'll go shopping
in Beverly Hills. It'll be great.

You smoke?

You can't know everything about a girl
in two dates and a trip to Vegas, Mike.

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

Gotta be some
surprises, right?

The stable's on top of the hill,
and you can see the ocean from up there.

Do you like it?

Yeah.

It used to belong Will Rogers, the guy
who said he never met a man he didn't like.

That's just like me.
Well, I make an exception.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

Dennis,
it's amazing.

Deborah.

I want you to live
here with me.

(HORSE WHINNIES)

Dennis, I can't.

I've never had
my own house before.

That's okay.
Me, neither.

I don't believe this.

Move in on the mike
an inch and three quarters, or two inches.

Why?

Or sing loud
and move in two inches, and enunciate.

When you sing,
make it sexy and soft.

All right?

? I live for the sun ?

Okay? You got it?

Now, sing from your hearts.
Loosen up. Be happy.

Be happy.

Whatever you say,
Mr. Wilson.

I say be happy.

All right. Ready?
One, two.

One, two, three, four...

? Go!

? Sun, sun, sun, sun

? Sun, sun, sun, sun

? I live for the sun

? Because it means fun

? Pretty girls with their guys

? Such a love you can't buy

? And they
They all live for the sun

? Go!
Sun, sun, sun, sun

Yeah, I think
that's the idea.

Murry calls them
The Sunrays.

"Ray" for Murry,
and "Sun" for Wilson.

Get it?

I don't know how he did it,
but he got Capitol to sign 'em up.

I hear he even conned the promoters
into letting them open for Sonny and Cher.

I don't believe this. I mean, has
your old man got it in for us, or what?

No big deal.
We're not even doing this kind of music anymore.

? We all live for the sun

? Go!
Sun, sun, sun, sun

? Sun, sun, sun, sun ?

Brian!

Uh... You didn't mean
what you said in there, about the music?

Yeah, I did.
I was gonna tell you.

Tell me what?

Your lyrics are cool, Mike,

and you come up
with some great hooks. I just...

There are some things
I wanna sing,

things I need to work out,
personal stuff.

Well, hey, we've
always been there for each other, right?

I need some fresh ideas.

Fresh ideas?

And who's gonna
give them to you?

That stoned-out
fan club of yours?

Boy, I bet they
got plenty of ideas.

They're my friends.

they are not your friends.
You just think they are.

They're filling your mind
full of junk!

Those songs,
the ones that we wrote together,

it's who we are.

It's not who I am.

You know, my old man,
he thought he had it made,

and then one day...
Gone.

Well, I've worked too hard
for that to happen.

Mike.

Have you ever considered
the fact that maybe you need me

as much as I need you?

Hey, man...

do me a favor.
You get your fresh ideas.

You get 'em
out of your system, fast.

Come on, man.
Mike. It's not like...

WOMAN ON TV: I told you,
I can't get a date.

MAN ON TV: Baloney.

(PIANO PLAYING)

(LAUGHING ON TV)

Now, how many
boys in your class?

I eat with our crowd.

But it might be better if I...
If I sit with a different guy.

BRIAN:
Oh, not more.

(GROANS)

You gotta eat these, man. They're made
with the best hash west of the Himalayas.

(LAUGHS)

How many of these
do I have to eat, man?

Till you hear
the muse calling.

(SIGHS)

(GROANS)

I don't feel it.

Brian, what's
the matter?

It's not right.
It's not

right.

I don't feel it.

What's not right?

The beach.

I can't feel the beach.

He wants what?

(PIANO PLAYING)

I wanna write a song
on more than one level,

like a symphony
with movements.

Spector started it.
He was the first to use the studio,

but I'm going beyond him.
I wanna do a spiritual sound.

Mom always said we were
God's instruments.

I believe her.

I'm gonna do it, Mar.

I'm gonna make
the greatest album,

the greatest
rock and roll album ever made!

That's the basic
groove, all right?

Hal and Tommy,
no big pick-ups.

For the last bar of the intro,
just play boom, two, three, four.

Ba-dap! Okay?

Organ, accordion,
I want you guys in the same register.

It gets that certain
groovy vibration, or frequency thing, happening.

Howie, in the B section, I want you
to fade out at the end of each measure.

(IMITATES HORN)

Okay. Let's do one.

It's going to be great.

It's going to be great.

AUDREE: This isn't
such a good idea.

You've had way
too much to drink.

MURRY: Oh, what are
you worried about? We're just gonna...

We're just gonna
sit and listen, okay?

You know, patch things up,
show our support. Don't you want that?

Of course I do,
but, honey, you know what always happens.

Oh, don't you get it?

I had to make them mad at me
to get the best out of them.

I drove them hard
because they asked for it.

They said, "Help us out,
make us famous, help us record.

"We need you, Dad."
And so, I'm a driver, and we drove.

There's more than one way
to give love to your kids, you know.

This is
Wouldn't It Be Nice, take one.

One, two, three.

Hold it.

Dad, I don't
remember inviting you.

Any reason I can't
come down and listen to my boy?

Murry, are you drunk?

First time
in my life, sweetheart.

Okay. Mom, plunk him
down over there.

Thank you.

Watch your step,
Murry.

Wow.

(GROANS)

All right.

My old seat.

Once again,

Wouldn't It Be Nice,
take one.

One, two, three, four.

(PLAYING WOULDN'T IT BE NICE)

Take six. Somebody's not loud enough.
Let me hear the tenor sax.

Take nine.
Faster on the bridge.

Take 12.
Stronger, please.

We're gonna
have to go to 20.

You're gonna set
a record tonight.

Twelve, maybe thirteen hours.

You know, Chuck and I used
to make one hit record after another,

just like that.
Right, Chuck?

AUDREE:
Murry, quiet.

We lost the accordion.
Where'd it go?

Hold it!

Brian's just like Beethoven.
He was never satisfied with anything either,

always going back
and making changes.

Beethoven?
I'll show you Beethoven.

Murry. Murry!

Henry, it makes a difference if
you're sitting like this or like this.

Okay?

All right.

Hey.

Next... Next time,
why don't you...

Why don't you try
to syncopate it, okay?

(IMITATES DRUMS)

I tried to talk him
out of it.

He misses it so much.

It's okay.
I understand.

You know, on that kick.
Go on that kick.

(IMITATING DRUMS)

Got it.

You got it, Hal?

(SLURRING)
And syncopate it.

(ALL LAUGHING)

What, are you trying
to humiliate me, Brian?

Well, you're doing
the same thing to me in front of about 20 people.

Well, you should never
have all these people here.

They're not saying anything.
You're the one doing all the talking...

No, I...

Yeah, this is awfully
unfair of you.

You don't...

You don't appreciate
all the good work

that Chuck Britz and I
have given to you.

I try to give you
a few tips,

and you think 'cause you got a
couple of hit records, you got it made.

Murry, maybe
it's time we left.

You really got
it made. No.

Artists... Artists
don't make themselves.

They got a lot
of beautiful people,

a lot of unsung
heroes under them,

helping their careers,
making them sound better.

Come on, sweetheart.

I'm sorry, Audree.

We'll never
come to another recording session.

Okay. Come on.

Talk to you later,
sweetheart.

I'm sorry, everybody.

You know, Brian's deaf
in one ear, you know.

He can't hear
a damn thing.

AUDREE: Quiet, Murry.

Okay. Let's go again.

Take 20.

Come on, Murry.

I'm driving, whether
you like it or not.

Okay, to hell with them.

It's easier working
with strangers than with your own damn kids.

But I still got
the songs, Audree.

I own The Beach Boys.

(SINGING WOULDN'T IT BE NICE)

? After having

? Happy times together we

? I wish that every kiss
was never-ending ?

Hold it, guys.

Chuck, play it down here.

What are you hearing
that the rest of us aren't, dog ears?

I don't know, Brian.
It's like you're becoming a cross

between Rachmaninoff
and General Patton.

No, it's worse.
He's the Stalin of the studio.

Why don't you sing
all the parts yourself, Brian?

I can't.

It needs those
Beach Boys harmonies.

Yeah. Well, I don't know how
people are going to react to these songs.

What Al is saying
is don't screw around with the formula.

This is ego music, man.

You're trying to record
a Brian Wilson solo album

featuring The Beach Boys.

Brian,
what's he talking about?

Denny, why do you
think he doesn't use

your playing on
our records anymore?

Hal does all
the drumming now.

Doesn't that bother you?

You cool it.
You tell your brother. You tell him why.

You're a clubber, Denny.

You're not an artist.

(CHUCKLING)

Don't worry, Denny.
You're not alone.

I read the most
fascinating article this morning.

"Do The Beach Boys
rely too much

"on sound genius Brian?"

Interesting, huh?

We created this sound.

All of us together.

Now all your
little disciples are running around

saying that you're
some kind of a...

Oh, wait, what's the word?
What is that word?

Oh, wait,
there it is. A genius!

Everybody, shut up!

So this is how we
work things out?

Looks like Dad
didn't have to try to kill the band. No.

No. We could just
commit suicide

and save him the trouble.
Is that what you want?

Who cares what
some magazine says about us?

What difference
does it make when we've got music like this?

Can you listen to that
and not want to be a part of it?

Tell me.

(WOULDN'T IT BE NICE
PLAYING)

? But wouldn't it be nice

? Good night, baby

? Sleep tight, baby

? Good night, baby

? Sleep tight, baby ?

It's beautiful.

I think it's the best thing
you've ever done.

Maybe the best thing
I'll ever do.

(GOD ONLY KNOWS PLAYING)

I love you.

? I may not always love you

? But long as there are
stars above you ?

There's no bikinis,
no surfboards, no cars.

What are we
supposed to do with it?

We took out
Caroline, No as a single,

and it tanked.
All right? Bottom of the top 40.

I don't hear
a number one single on the entire album.

It's just a bunch
of sad songs.

Well, what is it
supposed to mean anyway?

Pet Sounds.

Well, I came up
with that.

The music is
Brian's pet sound.

You like it?

Yeah, I like it.

Try to sell it.

Look,
what we're asking is just consider

giving us a few songs
in your usual style.

BRIAN: I don't like that idea.

We want what's
best for the band. You know that.

No comment.

You won't even
think about it?

(ALL LAUGHING)

Brian.

They killed my album.

They were afraid
of the music.

For the first time
in my life,

I did something that
I really, really thought was good.

I know, honey.

Brian, your dad is here.

My dad's here?

What are those?

Tommy says they'll
give me energy.

Tommy says?

Brian, how long
are you going to let him

and his friends
take advantage of you?

I need them.

No, they need you.
They're parasites, honey.

You're so insecure,
you're letting them take over. Brian?

MURRY: So, the album
is a stiff. So what?

Now it's time
to move some records.

Even a genius
needs a hit tune.

Go out there and show them
you can do it the way you used to.

Do it for me,

for your old man.
All right, son?

You got new guys now,
The Sunrays.

Oh, those bozos.

I couldn't do
anything with them.

One local top ten
hit and they went Hollywood on me.

Did you even listen
to our record?

I did. I was thrilled
when I heard it, sweetheart.

You seemed really
happy on it, and that made me happy.

Look, Brian,
your mother loves you.

All right?
You know, I love you.

I have protected you
for 24 years now,

but I can't go on
if you're not going to listen

to an intelligent man.

I want you to sign this.

What is it?

It's a letter to BMI.
They're the big music publishing company.

Now all it says
is that by rights,

I am the chief
operating officer of Sea of Tunes.

You remember that day
in the coffee shop?

We were waiting
to see Nik?

We shook hands on it.

Now, this just confirms
that I'm taking over the reins

of the publishing company.
It's simple.

I don't know, Brian. Maybe you should
have a lawyer take a look at that.

Marilyn?

Look. Haven't I always
fought for you?

When Capitol
wouldn't let you produce the way you wanted to,

when they said
they owned you lock, stock and barrel,

didn't I go down there
and straighten them out?

Maybe Marilyn is right.
Maybe our lawyer should...

Look, it's just
routine paperwork.

Let your old man take care
of the business side like he used to.

We're still
a family, right?

Families look
after each other.

Those songs are
our insurance policy against tough times.

I better call Mike.

You don't have
to talk to Mike.

Like I've always said,
he's protected.

We were a good team.
Weren't we, Son?

I mean, sure,
we had our differences,

but it's a shame
that when our family

could have been
so proud and so close,

that outside influences
got in the way of family pride

and teamwork and...

And I...

I'm sorry.

I can't talk anymore.

Let's go, dear.

Goodbye, sweetheart.

Mom,

there is this one track
that wasn't ready for the album.

Remember what you
used to say about

why a dog barks at you
and not at someone else?

That frequency thing?
It's about that.

You remember that?

Bye, Mom.

Like a dog
or a cat or a dog.

It's like...
Like a vibration.

Brian's lost it.

Now he thinks he's
the Sheikh of Araby.

You think I don't
know what goes on in this house?

BRIAN: Whew! Whew!

I should go say goodbye
to your mother.

It's like a vibration,
like a wave.

Very similar,
in fact, to a wave.

Um...

Frequencies. Animals.

Look after him.

Audree.

From now on,
I forbid you to come back here by yourself,

and I won't have him
in my house until he's cleaned up his act.

Murry, he's my son.
You can't just...

Audree, if you love me,

you'll see my point
and you won't give in.

Now, that's the end of it.

I sent everyone
away for the evening.

I wanted to make
sure it was safe.

Safe?

You never know who
could be listening,

trying to steal
your ideas.

Brian, whatever it
is you're smoking,

you might want
to go easy.

I want you to hear this.

(GOOD VIBRATIONS
BACKING TRACK PLAYING)

I never could get
the track right.

I wanted it to be
like a pocket symphony

with movements,
changes, changes,

build the harmonies here,
drop that voice out,

this comes in.

Bring in
the echo chamber

put the theremin in there,
but it's not right.

Yeah. Well,
it needs a hook.

And some lyrics

that make sense, you know.

Brian, this music
is so weird,

if our fans
ever heard it they'd freak out.

No, they've gotta like it.

Maybe... Maybe...

You got some
good ideas.

You want to do it
together

like before.

Okay.

Okay.
Let's get going right now.

Okay.

Now the one thing
everybody understands is boy-girl, right?

So we write it
from that... Okay.

Okay, buddy.
It's good to see you, too.

Good to be back.

(GOOD VIBRATIONS BACKING TRACK
PLAYING ON CAR STEREO)

? I love the colorful
clothes she wears

MIKE: ? I'm picking up
good vibrations

? She's giving me
good sensation

? She's giving me

? Excitation

Excitation.

It's Spector, man.

His mind gangsters
are everywhere, spying on me.

? Excitations

? I'm picking up
good vibrations ?

Look, Brian,
it's been six months.

You've spent
$50,000, Brian.

You have got 90 hours
of session tapes,

and you have used up
the goodwill of at least four different studios.

When do you think
it's gonna be finished?

When it's ready.

And when might that be?

When it's ready.

(CHUCKLING)

? Good good good
Good vibrations

? Good good good
Good vibrations ?

(VOCALIZING)

(CHEERING)

The Beach Boys
with their million-selling hit Good Vibrations.

Gather round, guys.

How does it feel to be
the number one band here in Britain?

Here in London,
you're bigger than The Beatles.

You know,
that's cool.

So, guys, Pet Sounds
really blew a lot of peoples' minds over here.

Yeah, and we really
appreciate that.

It was a little
different on our side of the pond.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Mike, tell us
about The Beach Boys' groovy new sound.

Well, you know,
our collaborator, Brian Wilson,

he's always
experimenting.

You want to get on
God's wavelength?

This'll take you there.

The real thing, man.

This will open your mind.

I'm tripping.

What are you on?

I'm tripping.

Something Tommy gave me.

What did Tommy give you?

Paper.
Just a piece of paper.

I'm sorry, Brian.
I am really trying to be there for you,

but you are
pushing me away.

What?

What are you doing?
Don't you love me?

It is because I love you
that I feel this way.

You can't tell
the difference between the people that love you

and the people that just
want something from you.

Do you remember these?

You wrote them.
"Marilyn Wonderful,"

that is how they all start.

When was the last time
you called me that?

There is never
any time for us, Brian.

Someone is always
controlling you, telling you what to do.

It's either Murry
or it's Tommy.

Half the time
I don't know

if there is really
something wrong with you

or if you're just
playing a big joke on everybody.

Maybe you are
a genius, Brian, I don't know,

but I guess
even a genius can be an amateur human being.

Don't go. Don't go.

You tell those drainers
to go leech off somebody else.

I...

Fine.

By the way, I'm pregnant.
If that matters to you.

Marilyn, wait.

Denny?

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO)

Denny, I'm home.

Deborah,
where have you been?

You know I don't like it
when you go out by yourself.

I was out
with some friends.

What kind of friends?

You're accusing me?

You don't even try
to hide the traces of your little girlfriends.

No, you brag about them.

She's still in the house,
isn't she?

Where'd you meet
this one, Dennis?

At the studio?
At a gig?

Did she offer
to have sex with you,

or were you just
feeling charitable?

Deborah, she doesn't
mean anything to me.

No?

(GRUNTS)

Deborah? Deborah!

Deborah!

You're not taking that car.

(CAR ENGINE STARTING)

I bought you
that car, Deborah!

You're not taking that car.

(SOBBING)

NIK: Brian.

Come on in, man.

Sorry, I don't
have any suits, man.

They're all taken.

Come on.

BRIAN: He's taking
his watch off.

He's thinking about it!
Oh, he's coming. Yeah!

Only for you, Brian.

(WHISTLING)

Brian, couldn't we
have met somewhere a little more convenient?

Murry's got
the house bugged.

Listen, you mentioned
something on the phone about a new album, huh?

I'm writing
a teenage symphony to God.

Samuel is helping.

See, The Beach Boys are this pan-patriotic
kind of trans-presidential vibe.

They're Americana
personified,

and that gives us
a platform to bring

a kind of Mark Twain irony
thing into rock and roll.

I want to use lyrics
as a rhythm element.

Samuel is into that.

An album doesn't have
to be all songs, man.

A record can be just sounds,

or maybe another one
that's all humor jokes and stuff.

Yeah. Listen, Brian,

Capitol has got
a lot riding on this.

Everybody is
expecting The Beach Boys to top Good Vibrations.

WOMAN: Excuse me, Nik.

Yeah.

Art department says
they're making a first run of half a million.

Great.

500,000 albums.

(ALL LAUGHING)

NIK: Everybody is expecting
a teenage symphony.

He's out there
recording noise.

SECRETARY: Does anyone over
in A&R know how it's supposed to go together?

NIK: The question is,
does he?

? Geronimo leaps and bounds
for glory over the dustbowl ?

What does this mean?

"Geronimo leaps and bounds
for glory over the dustbowl"?

Quite frankly, Mike,
I don't know what it means.

I can't tell you.

Sam, wait.

The Philistines
have uttered their pronouncements,

and I am now
bound for Golgotha.

Hey, come on.

Oh, thank you.

Sam?

Now, look what you did.

You know what this is?

Acid alliteration.

I'm not singing
this psychedelic crap.

Jeez, Brian,
I don't even know what we're singing about.

It's all just
pieces, Brian.

Just pieces.

? Know she'll be
a part of my life

? Know she'll be
a part of my life

? Forever

? Let the bees make honey

? Let the poor find money

? Take away their sorrows

? Give them sunshine tomorrow

? But don't take her
out of my life

? Don't take her
out of my life ?

You still love him.

I do.

I know I shouldn't,
but I do.

Brian?

Brian?

Brian?

Brian, honey,
are you okay?

Brian, are you okay?
Honey?

Get out.

Get out of my house.
Get out!

Tommy Schaeffer,
I hate you!

Don't you come back here!

You are not welcome here.

You, blondie, get out.
Get out!

Don't come back here.

Go sponge off
somebody else.

Don't come back here!

Get out of my house.

Don't come back here!

Hey.

Hey, Brian.

Hey.

Hey!

You're back.

I'm back, honey.
I'm not going anywhere. Okay?

Everything is going to be
different now. Okay?

Hey.

You're back.

Well?

Thanks for
stopping, man.

I'm Marnie.
She's Yellerstone.

Have we seen you
somewhere before?

Ever heard
of The Beach Boys?

I'm their drummer.

Are you kidding?

You know,
we have a friend who's a musician.

Oh, he's not
just a singer, man, he's a genius.

A philosopher.
You should meet him.

You guys want a shot?

No. We don't drink.

What else don't you do?

Not much.

Hop in.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

PAMELA: You really think
this guru is the answer?

Lennon and McCartney
turned me on to him when we were in London.

You don't see them
falling apart.

Just a way
to cut through all the crap.

How? By running off
somewhere in the Himalayas?

Maybe if you just
learn to tolerate things just a little more,

you wouldn't be
so wound up.

You weren't in Rishikesh.

The vibe there
was so peaceful.

(CHUCKLES) One morning,
McCartney comes down playing this song.

He says it's a
Beach Boys-style song.

And the next minute
we're bouncing ideas off each other.

Brian and I used to work
like that before...

I know. You told me
all about it, Mike. I...

You know, making music
is one thing,

but as a way of life,
I just...

There is just too much
bad karma out there.

Look around.

King, Kennedy,
anybody with a message of hope gets cut down.

Meditating is so simple,
anyone can do it.

And if everyone did it,
the world would be a totally different place.

Now, you won't know
unless you try.

Just don't go overboard.
That's all I'm asking.

You think I'm going to be
like Brian and Dennis? No. No.

This gives me perspective,
sets up my priorities.

With the band it's all...
It's all noise.

I've gotta find a way
to cut through all that.

Sooner or later
they'll learn.

Positivity and harmony
last forever.

Negativity and dissonance
die an ugly death.

(EXHALES)

I'll be back.

I thought things
would be easier

without all the drainers
hanging around.

We redecorated,

we spent months
turning the garage into a studio

so Brian wouldn't
have to go anywhere.

Hey, Marilyn.

Hey.

Wow, she is getting big.

Yeah.

Where is everybody?

Is, uh,
Brian in there?

No, he's upstairs.

All right.
Well, see you later.

(BEACH BOYS HARMONIZING)

(SIGHS) The guys come over to
make music and Brian just stays in bed.

I loved In My Room
when he sang it for me that first time.

Did he ever
tell you that?

I just never thought
it would become a way of life.

These two chicks,
it was like... It was like, no holds barred.

Well, if you're lucky,
all they gave you was memories.

Mike, they're
waiting for me right now

for a second round
back at the place,

if I can ever
get out of here, Carl.

Hey, it sounds good.

Sounds good, Carl.

Sorry I was late.

We still need Brian
for the next set of overdubs.

Is he ever going
to come down?

Brian!

Brian? Brian,
are you hearing this?

(THUMPING)

Brian, are you
listening to this? Brian?

Brian? Brian?

Marilyn!

Marilyn,

(BABY GURGLING)

the refrigerators
are padlocked.

I know, honey.
From now on when you're hungry,

I want you to ask me.

The music sounds
beautiful, sweetheart.

I know you fellows
are having your differences,

but you still sound
great together.

Listen, would you mind
holding the baby

while me and
your mother talk?

No. No, no. I told you.
You have to be the parent.

I would be
just like my father.

Brian, you never
hold the baby.

Bri,
what do you think?

About what?

The song?

Oh, it's, uh...
It's great.

I got some new feels
for you guys.

I got some ideas
of my own, Brian.

You wrote a song?

What's so strange
about that?

You think that because Mom
had to twist your arm

to let me into the group
that I didn't have any talent?

You didn't think
I was good enough then,

and you still don't think
I'm good enough.

Well, you know what, Bri?
There's a lot of music that I'm gonna make,

even though
I'm just the clubber.

Right?

Come on, Dennis.
Let's just lay this down.

Brian.

After this.

I'm the Wizard.

is not for us.

What do you know
about him?

This is a wizard, man.
He's... He's deep. He's Charlie Manson.

You know what
he told me?

He told me
there's going to be a worldwide race war.

It's going to be black,
yellow, and red against white.

Carl, we got to
prepare ourselves.

He doesn't
scare you?

Yeah, Carl, he scares me.

But Charlie says
that fear is nothing but awareness.

? Solution, girl,
you get my gist

? Do you love me,
do you love me, do you love me

? Just cease to resist ?

(GIRLS GIGGLING)

(GIRLS CHATTERING)

There's some
good stuff there.

What are you
doing up here?

That's a cute baby.

What is your name,
sweetheart?

My name is Yellerstone,
and this is Marnie.

Hi.

You need get rid of all
your negativity, sister.

Brian?

Brian,

Dennis is here
with that new friend of his, Pigpen.

He-He's brought
all his crummy girlfriends with him.

Honey, they're...
They're dirty. They stink.

I don't- I don't trust them. I can't
leave Carnie alone when they're in the house.

Would you... Would you
talk to your brother?

(GROANS)

Brian, please.

(GROANS)

Jerk!

(SHOUTING INSULTS)

MAN: Loser!

with our buggies.

Go on.

BRIAN: You let them
use your cars, man?

DENNIS: Yeah, man.

You don't say no
to the Wizard.

See, the family
shares everything,

like families
are supposed to.

(WHOOPING)

(CHUCKLES) They share
the girls, too?

Yeah, man.
It's the best part.

You see, Charlie believes
in sex seven times a day.

Before breakfast,
after breakfast.

Before lunch,
after lunch.

Before dinner,
after dinner.

And one time
in the middle of the night.

(CAR HONKING)

All right.
I'll be right down!

You see, Brian,

Charlie accepts people
for who they are.

He doesn't ask you
to prove yourself.

MARNIE: Dennis, come on!

(DOG BARKING)

(CAR ENGINE STARTING)

Your family, man,
they're too stiff.

You don't belong with them.
We're your family now.

Denny, we're scared
for you.

Oh, yeah?

Come on, Denny.
Those people aren't your friends.

Yeah, man.
How many of your cars have they sold?

You're just their
drug money.

Worst of all,
they're messing with your mind.

Don't preach to me, Mike.

I'm just trying
to help you, man.

I've told you before,
that stuff doesn't work for me.

Meditation saved my life.

You think the Wizard,
or whatever his name is, is going to save yours?

Get your hands off me,
mama's boy.

You don't care
about me anyway.

I play the drums.
So what?

You guys talking
about replacing me?

Replace me!

ALL: Dennis!

(GROANS)

And now I'm not even
the drummer.

I need help,
Audree.

I'm thinking about
asking my sister Diane to come stay with us.

Brian doesn't know it yet,
but he's going to be a father again.

Honey, that's wonderful.
Are you sure?

It's forced me
to come to terms with a lot of things.

I gotta stop
kidding myself.

About what?

About Brian.

I love him.
God knows.

For a long time, I pretended
like there was nothing seriously wrong.

Besides the drugs,
I mean.

But you can't
go on like this.

DENNIS:
Mom? Mom?

Take me home.

My God,
what have you done to yourself this time?

Just take me home.

Honey, run it
under the tap.

Do you have any
hydrogen peroxide, Marilyn?

MARILYN: Yeah.
It's in the bathroom.

Here, you wrap his hand,
I'll go get it.

Denny, you have got to stop
doing things like this.

(LOUD MUSIC BLARING)

Are you sure
you don't want to go to the hospital?

Yeah, I'm sure.
Why don't you come in?

I don't think
I better.

Come in, Mom.
It's like a big family in there.

Denny, honey,
you've got a family.

I do now.

Don't talk like that.

These people
are just like Brian's friends.

They're just
trying to use you.

What would
your father think?

I don't care
what he thinks.

Yes, you do, honey.

You always have.

Thanks for the ride, Mom.

(PEOPLE SHOUTING)

MANSON'S VOICE:
You can't leave the family!

NIK: Now, let me lay
some reality on you guys, all right?

The last three
Beach Boys albums

haven't exactly
set the charts on fire.

The Friends LP
didn't even make the top 100,

not even close.

Not only was it
your worst seller,

but it practically set
an all-time low for Capitol.

Well, whose
fault is that?

I mean, maybe if you
weren't still marketing us as a surf band,

the albums
would sell.

Maybe you guys
have a message.

All I know is
after Woodstock,

nobody is listening.
You're... You're irrelevant.

Irrelevant?
Nik, we made this label relevant.

The word in the business
right now

is that the Beach Boys
are poison.

Brian has got a reputation.

Look around the room, Nik.
How many Beach Boys do you see?

I see six. How many
do you see? One?

Mike, I know
there is talent in the group.

But you guys are
your own worst enemies.

You know,
I never thought I'd say it,

but I miss Murry.

Murry?

Man, he just used us.

Yeah, but at least he could
straighten you guys out.

You know,
I give up trying.

The music is the mu...

The label is washing
its hands of you.

I'm sorry.

It's just the way it is.

(DOOR CLOSES)

You need to talk to Dad.

He told you those songs
were an insurance policy, right?

Well, now we need
to cash it in.

He's right, Brian.

Sea of Tunes is gone?

That's right.

Irving/Almo Music
bought them for $700,000.

And I was lucky
to get that.

You can't do that.

And if you want to continue to
get royalties, you won't make a stink.

But...

Face it,
you had your shot, and now it's over.

You sold the songs
without telling me?

You signed my name,
you kept the money?

Sea of Tunes is me.
Murry Wilson!

Now, you signed a letter
to that effect. Don't you remember?

Why, Dad?

I did what I thought was best,
like I always do.

Yeah. Best for you.

He sold our songs?

We wrote those songs together.
Those were our songs.

They were supposed to stay
in the family.

He took advantage
of both of us.

Just like you forgot
to put my name

on California Girls
and the other stuff.

You know my dad...

Stop blaming Murry!

That's not going
to work anymore.

(SCREAMS)

Ever since
you stopped touring,

you hoped the band
would die.

Well, that's not
going to happen, man.

Not if I have anything
to say about it.

(GROANS)

(GROANS)

Oh, Murry.

How could you?

What else could I do?

You lied to them.

You lied to me.
Why, Murry? Was it the money?

Or couldn't you stand
to see the boys doing better than you ever did?

All these years, you've been
looking to get even, haven't you, Murry?

I devoted myself
to those boys.

I devoted myself.

And you know
how they treated me.

How they treated you?

Murry, you have been
living off them for how many years now?

What have you ever
given them in return?

Have you ever
had one kind word to say to any of them?

I tried to teach them
responsibility,

but I failed.

I failed at everything.

Is this the way that a family
is supposed to behave, Murry?

I always hoped
that one day,

one day you would show

just a little bit of kindness
towards those boys.

Haven't they suffered enough?

Murry, look at me
when I'm talking to you!

(GROANING)

Murry, what is it?

It's nothing.

I'm just all worked up.

I can't stand to see
what the business has done to you,

to Brian, Denny.

You're not the man
I married, Murry.

You haven't been
for a long time.

That man loved his children
when they were little,

and he didn't try
to live through them.

I have stood by
and I have watched for long enough,

but I can't do it
anymore, Murry.

No, I am not gonna
shed any tears over you.

I should ask for a divorce,
but I'm not going to.

Where would I go
at my age, anyway? And this is my home, too.

I just don't know how things
can ever be the same between us, Murry.

You keep the damn money.

I don't want
any part of it.

But I hope to God
you can live with yourself.

(SOBBING)

(SNIFFING)

Hey, hey!

I want you
to have this.

(SNIFFS)

I want you
to have this.

(SNIFFS)

I want you
to have this.

We don't want
your records, Brian.

They're not going
to be worth anything, not now.

BRIAN: Oh.

Do you know this song?

Sure, I know that song.

You know this song?

You know this song?

(PLAYING SAME MELODY)

BRUCE: We haven't seen him
for a while, Mr. Love.

He's been
on some kind of fast.

How long?

Four or five days maybe.

Ever since it happened.

How could old man Wilson
have done that?

You don't know Murry.

It's open.

(SITAR MUSIC PLAYING)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Son, are you okay?

Just mellowing out.
It's cool.

Where's Pamela?

Do us a favor.
Let's go see a doctor.

Don't touch me!

Mike.

Now, I want you
to tell me what happened,

how you... You...
You got this way.

Murry said he was
holding the songs for me and Brian.

I never gave him permission
to sell them.

So I called the...
The... The band's lawyer,

and I asked him how Murry
could sell the songs.

And do you know
what he said to me?

No.

"There's nothing
you can do about it."

Nothing I can do.

Nothing I can do.

Nothing I can do.

Nothing I can do.

Why didn't you take
your house back

after you kicked
those crazies out?

I'm not going
back there, Carl. No way. Never.

Denny, it's over.

Manson's in jail now
for killing those people.

I mean, they weren't even
living there anymore.

Carl, I don't want
to talk about it.

Denny, listen,
I should have said this before.

You were so out of it,
you were not easy to deal with.

Carl, I'm trying to get
myself back together.

All I'm trying to say
is that I dig your stuff.

I like your music.
I always have.

You do?

You working
on anything now?

? If every word I said

? Could make you laugh

? I'd talk forever

? I asked the sky
just what we had

? Mmm, it shone forever

? Forever

? Forever

? I've been so happy
loving you

Not bad for a duck born
with two chickens.

It's beautiful.
You played it for the old man?

Like he cares.

Maybe you should.

Murry, you should
listen to this.

And you be nice.

You know how hard
it must have been for Denny to do this.

DENNIS:
? If the song I sing to you

? Could fill
your heart with joy

? I'd sing forever

? Forever

? Forever

? I've been
so happy loving you

Dad, are you there?

Dad, are you there?

I think the old bastard
hung up on me.

No, no, no, no.

Go on, please.

? So I'm goin' away

? Mmm, but not forever

? I gotta love you anyway

? Forever

? Forever ?

That's beautiful.

Really beautiful.

You liked it?

Yeah.

It's really good.

I'm glad.

Who would have thought
you'd end up talented?

So, uh,

you're doing okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

So, uh, I see
you're still driving that old T-Bird.

Yeah. She's like a mistress.
You can't get rid of her.

I stole her from you once.

You, uh, you beat
the crap out of me.

Remember that?

Yeah. Well,
we-we all do things that we're not too proud of.

I'll tell you what, though.

She's yours.

Go ahead.
Take her.

You serious?

Yeah. What do I want
another car for?

I don't need it much
anymore anyway.

Thanks.

Forget it.

Honey, I have to
tell you something.

Carl just called.

There's...
There's no easy way to tell you this.

Tell me what?

Your father is gone.

My... My dad died?

I'm so sorry.

My dad?

(SOBBING)

You gotta come by
the house more often.

I know.
We'll keep in touch.

Chuck,
thanks for coming.

Give my love
to Brian.

Grandma
loves you.

Come on, Carl.

CARL: Brian and Dennis
should have been here.

That's all right, sweetheart.
I don't blame them.

They haven't
got your strength. They'll get over it.

They have to.

Carl.

Mrs. Wilson,
my deepest sympathies.

CARL: Didn't expect
to see you here.

Yeah. Well, Murry and I
didn't exactly agree on everything,

but he took good
care of you guys, and I respected that.

Thank you.

Carl?

Listen, I-I know this is
a lousy time to bring it up,

but maybe when things
settle down a little bit, you can give me a call.

I've got some
good things going,

and I'd like
to talk to you about it.

Thanks, Nik.
Take care.

Audree,
I sure am sorry.

Let us know if we can
do anything, okay?

Al.

Carl.
Be tough, brother.

Right. I'll call you
in a couple of days.

I have always counted on you
to keep this family together.

You promise me you'll try,

especially when I'm gone?

(ENGINE STARTING)

I promise.

MIKE: I never thought
I'd stop hating him,

but I just feel
sorry for him.

DENNIS: I didn't think
I could ever come back here.

Took me a couple months.

(MIKE LAUGHING)

Look at this.

Our very first
public appearance.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Were we really
that geeky?

Yeah, Dave sure was.

AUDREE: You all were,

but you had voices
like angels.

God, he kept everything,
didn't he?

Yes, he did.

It was his way
of having you all around.

Look,

I know that your father
was never an affectionate man,

and I'm making
no apologies for him.

He did some terrible,
terrible things to all of you.

But in his way,

he loved you
more than anything.

It really does
something to you

when your father dies.

We didn't talk much
after I fired him,

(CLEARS THROAT)

but I'm okay about it.

I've got a new perspective
on life, you know?

I'm gonna try
a little harder.

It's making a man of me.

Maybe now
that he's gone,

we should focus
on the good things he did for us.

I mean, the music.
He gave us that.

Carl's right.

Without the music,

who are we?

NIK: Nobody remembers
who you are.

You've been off
the top-ten singles charts for eight years.

That's a long time
not to be having any hits.

We want to re-release
some of the old material.

Who remembers
that stuff?

Since Watergate,
there's a whole generation of people out there

looking for something simpler.

Maybe you could help
with the song selection.

A greatest hits album,
Nik, huh?

It's for has-beens.

we could do it again.

But Denny's right.

Don't call it a
"Best Of," or "Golden," or anything like that.

Yeah. Yeah, we still got
plenty of music left in us.

NIK: Okay. Okay.

Any ideas?

Yeah, how about,
Good Groups Never Die,

They Just Sell
Their Songs Again.

(ALL CHUCKLING)

How about, uh,

how about
Endless Summer?

Yeah.

Yeah, I like that.

MARILYN: I thought this album
would do good,

but I never dreamed
it would make record history.

"Band of the year."

(ALL LAUGHING)

Hey, man,
check this out, huh?

(SINGING SPOOKY TUNE)

I bet you never seen
one of these before, man. Double platinum.

Yeah, everybody's
talking about it, Brian.

It's a little freaky
for me to see this,

but I can accept it.

Definitely makes me
feel like I'm dreaming.

It gives me a shock.

(LAUGHING)

Man, I'm telling you,
we're back in business.

Everybody wants
to book a date, right?

Yeah, we're going
to go on the road like we used to.

Remember that?

for six days, huh?

One show a day?
Man, how about two, huh?

I'm ready to work,
you know?

And, Brian,
you're coming with us.

Come on, Brian, I think
we can do this together.

Brian, Bri, Bri, Brian,
you just gotta go back, just to go see the fans.

No.

I-I can't do that.

Brian, just once.
That's all we're asking. That's it.

I-I can't do that.
I just can't.

I can't do that.

? Well she got her daddy's car

? And she cruised through
the hamburger stand now

? Seems she forgot
all about the library

? Like she told
her old man now

? And with the radio blasting

? Goes cruising just as fast
as she can now

? And she'll have fun fun fun

? Till her daddy
takes the T-Bird away

? Fun fun fun
Till her daddy takes the T-Bird away

Look at them, Mom!

Can you believe it?
They love us!

? And she'll have fun fun fun
Till her daddy takes the T-Bird away

Come on, Brian.
Brian.

No. No.

(CROWD CHEERING WILDLY)

I love you, Brian.

? And we'll have fun fun fun
Now that Daddy took her T-Bird away

Brian, everybody, Brian!

Get out there,
buddy.
