Crap.

Why's that?

No commercial potential.

Go to America. They'll buy anything.

Call my cousin. Hotel Mansfield, Manhattan.

Yes?

Yes, it's a great, great band.

Yes. One of the best.

Yes. Sure. All are - are American boys. Sure.

Only the name is Leningrad Cowboys. Da, I mean yes.

Yes.

Can't hear you. It's a long distance.

All right. All right. I'll bring them to you.

Yes. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Bye-bye.

Pekka stayed up to rehearse alone.

There was nothing we could do in the morning.

I understand. Frozen stiff.

And you want a finder's fee.

Yes.

We have to get to America.

Grandpa went there too, and hasn't been heard from since.

I'll pay for the trip.

You'll take the corpse with you and show the boy the world.

Hudson River up and down.

You're not coming.

A few words before we leave.

Only American orchestras are allowed to play in America.

You're now one of them.

In America, they speak English.

English.

So will you.

Those who can't will have to learn.

That's all.

259. 260.

261. 262.

263. 264.

You see the girl.

- Her ball is blue. - 265.

The gym is yellow.

Hammer.

Hammer. Hamm -

Hang -

Hello -

I'm too tired.

Success has gone to Vladimir's head.

Without us -

Shut up. Spinglish!

I mean, speak English.

Otherwise -

How many dollars cost for getting that couch?

I don't have the slightest idea.

- How many dollars - - Cow - Cowboy.

Cover.

Cowherd.

Do you miss home?

Not really.

I do.

%%

Wait in the bar.

Here's a quarter for you.

But don't drink it all.

You wait here.

Do you mind?

Yes.

I've got some good ideas for your band.

Maybe we could start with Madison Square Garden.

Or Yankee Stadium.

Good.

Anyway...

before I can book your band, I gotta hear 'em play.

Maybe they could set up in my studio downstairs.

Is that necessary?

Yes.

- You can't help it? - No.

All right.

%%

Do you know Mexico?

Sure.

Go there.

My cousin's getting married.

Needs a band for his wedding.

Here's the address.

Could you pay something now?

Sure.

Here's a dime. And you can sleep here one night.

Thank you.

Your music will go over big down there.

Here we have something different.

It's called rock and roll.

I wonder when the violence starts.

You always get murdered when you go to New York.

I've seen it on television.

%%

Do you have rock and roll?

Of course.

- Can I buy it? - Sure. Help yourself.

Have you ever heard of rock and roll?

Study this book.

This here?

I don't think you want this. This is Japanese junk here.

You want an American car. Take a look at this here.

This is a checker.

Needs a little bodywork. It ain't a beauty, but, uh...

take a look at that engine there.

That is solid. That's an American engine. That's a V-8 -

- Oh. Sorry. - It's all right.

With a V-8 engine, this baby'll run. You can drive her away right now.

Well -

I don't know.

What about that?

- That over there? - Yeah.

I thought you guys wanted a cheap ride. That's a luxury car. That's the best thing I got.

That's got power steering, power brakes, cruise control.

It's got a 448, four-barrel, V-8 engine.

That's a luxury car. You could drive that car through World War III and come back again.

You know what I mean?

- That's a good car. - How much?

For you guys?

Ah, 700.

That's all we have.

I know. That's why.

Take it or leave it.

We'll take it.

Boy, I'll tell you something. You boys got the best car in the lot here.

I could have got two, three grand for a car like this.

Hey, I hope one of you guys has a pilot's license.

I mean, a car like this - you don't drive it, you fly it.

You could take this car to the moon and back.

Quarter-inch steel, brand-new tires.

That's a beauty. You know what I say? Cadillac equals luxury.

- Let's go. - What about us?

We'll try that one.

Hello.

Hi.

We are rock-and-roll band.

Can we play here?

Sure. Help yourself.

Fifty-fifty.

Okay.
