Psych-Out

Hi.

Can you spare four cents? Three cents?

Two cents?

Hi... did you just arrive?

Well... everything alright? Is It?

Well, you got a place to crash?

Some place to stay? ─ Yes.

Hey! Get out of the way.

Trying to get killed, you stupid kid? What's a matter with you? ─ Shut up!

Dope addicts! You think you can do anything you damn please. ─ I'm deaf.

Oh... poor little thing. She can't hear.

Hey man... it's not money... it's life.

It's human life. You don't invest it. You spend it. You know what I mean?

You don't have to take acid to see that.

All you got to do is know where your head is at.

That's very nice. Very intellectual. Very bright. Very nice.

But it's crap... it's crap.

Yeah... it is... ─ Right Elwood?

Why ask me, man? I'm just an animal, here trying to make it.

Yeah, well you sure do got rhythm.

Hi Harry, how you doing? What's going on? ─ A poem, man. Read it. ─ Oh yeah?

Hey, want some coffee? ─ Crazy. Good. ─ What you say.

Stoney... dig... ─ Huh?

Dig.

Well, that must be wonderful. It offends me.

What is it? ─ A poster.

You got the poem, and the poster.

Hey Baby, are you a Gemini? Are you a Gemini? I'm looking for a Gemini.

No. Hey, you don't understand. I'm a Leo. I'm a Leo, Baby.

And we are in phase. I mean that is, if you really are a Gemini.

Hey... hey. Hey, I've found one.

Hey this one has just got to be a Gemini man. I just got the vibration.

Sit right down over there, Honey. I've just got the vibes. You sit down there.

Beautiful.

What is it? Gold? ─ No, man. This is where it's at.

Ice bag.

Ice bag, huh? ─ I'll get you some.

Out of sight.

The Man. Could be narks.

You are totally uncool, man. You know that?

I heard you was a Gemini.

That's a good sign. There's a lot of pure energy in that sign.

Are these men bothering you, Miss?

Hey, I ain't bothering her, man... she's a Gemini.

You know they're all public. Operators and waitresses are Geminis... right?

I had a Gemini girlfriend once. Beard got so crowded I couldn't sleep.

What's your name?

Mine is "Stoney."

Pardon?

I said... would you pass me the cream?

My name is Stoney. That's Ben.

And Elwood.

What's your name? ─ Jenny.

I think she's deaf.

Oh man...

Come on, this lovely thing is happening, and you've got to make bad-taste jokes.

I'm not kidding you. She can read lips, but I'll bet you anything she's deaf.

What do you say, Elwood? ─ Bad taste, man.

Let's kill her and eat her.

What are you laughing at?

Wait, wait, wait! ─ Oh damn! Leave me alone!

Wait, just wait a minute. Just relax.

Oh wow. ─ Leave her alone, Stoney.

Oh now, wait a minute man, I didn't mean to hurt anybody.

I just want to ask her a question.

I'm deaf.

Hey... that's cool.

Yeah alright. See, you're really deaf, right?

You can't see what I'm saying now, can you?

That's it Stoney. Hey man, nothing sacred, right?

Now wait a...

Making fun of someone's infirmity. That's where you're at.

Wait a minute now, wait a minute. She knows I dig her, don't you? Don't you?

And I mean maybe she's just tired of all the sympathy stuff.

And maybe she'd like to be treated like an equal.

And she's really hot for me, aren't you?

Aren't you? What were you going to say? What were you going to say?

What were you going to say?

I'd like another cup of coffee.

I'll get it. Serving is part of my racial memory.

I'll get it... I'll get it.

Why don't you stay here and do some more tricks for the lady, huh?

I will be the one who goes and gets the coffee.

You will sit here and I will get the coffee.

If you see this girl around, call in will you?

Where have I got time to look at faces?

Take time... this one is deaf... and a runaway.

It's bad enough for a kid without problems that's caught up in this mess.

So, this is kind of a vacation. ─ Where you from?

She's a runaway. The Cops are flashing her picture around.

I'll be glad when this costume-party is over.

And these creeps grow up and start to make a living like everybody else.

Morning, brothers. ─ Brothers...

Newcomers, aren't you? Everything okay?

Yeah, okay... now shove off. Huh!

Hey man, that was kind of stupid, wasn't it?

I'm sorry, man.

Peace and love. Non-violence, remember?

You ain't being very hip at all, man.

Gone.

Peace and love to you too.

You got a place to go? ─ My brother lives here.

Alright. ─ No, really. ─ Okay.

See you. ─ Thanks for the coffee.

So long.

You know, man is related to man... things.

What I mean is everything is part everything else.

It really blows my mind. ─ It trips me out.

It grooves. ─ Beautiful, huh?

Where is our posters? ─ Over here.

You going to put them up today, Stoney?

Yeah, we need the business or we lose the gig.

Dave been in? ─ Not for a while.

The bastard's never here when you need him. Hasn't showed up to play in a week.

Hey, Stoney man. Where you from?

Everybody's got to do his thing, right?

Now, Dave's got his bag, and you got yours.

Hey Warren, did you get my drums fixed? ─ Yeah, man.

They don't sound so good without acid.

There you are, man.

I thought we played real bad last night.

Well Itchy thought it was real psychedelic, man.

He means crude. ─ We really dug the violence.

Next time, why don't we just break up our instruments. ─ And fight.

And loot. ─ For love.

Pretty good grass.

You... are in no shape to drive us.

I'll drive.

Beautiful.

Amazing. Really beautiful.

Okay. Bye-bye Elwood.

Here's for Elwood.

Shite.

Say man, houses are shite.

You okay, Elwood?

Have you ever seen The Universe explode over your head?

Hey Jenny!

Hey, it's not going to do you any good to yell, you know.

Oh yeah. That's right.

All I know is that he disappeared without paying his rent.

And I knew that I never should have had someone like him here in the first place.

She can't understand you unless she can see your lips.

Oh. ─ Do you need any help?

She says he's not here anymore. ─ Who, who?

My brother.

He split over a month ago. I don't know where he is.

He didn't leave me his address.

Are you sure even he's in San Francisco?

Yeah, I'm sure... look he sent me this card a week ago.

He just says... he's not a very good speller.

Jess Saes: God is alive and well in a sugar cube.

Now, what do you suppose he meant by that?

Okay... let's get in the truck.

Hey.

I don't know if we can find him. But we'll sure try, okay?

Okay.

Thanks a lot. ─ Oh, that's alright.

You'll get picked up in 5 minutes if you don't get out of those square clothes.

What? I don't have very much money.

You don't need too much around here.

It's free. It's all free. You can have anything you want.

You mean, I can take the whole store? ─ That's right.

That's fantastic.

What do you think, man? You think I'm red or what?

Oh Jesus...

Hey up there.

Hey.

Do you like it? Shoot. Try it on.

What are you running away from?

People. ─ Oh yeah? Who?

I told you. I was looking for my brother.

That's not what I asked you.

I thought you said the clothes were free. ─ Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.

I didn't mean anything. I'm just curious.

You don't have to answer to anybody in this scene. That's what it's all about.

You know... everybody does his own thing... okay?

Here's some more.

Try these.

The message is... peace. ─ Peace?

The message is... music.

The message is... staring at a crystal.

You mean, like searching for the truth, wherever we might find it?

No, man.

Hey Pandora... why are you dancing by yourself?

I'm not.

I'm dancing with everybody. If you know what I mean.

You want to talk? ─ Okay.

What about? ─ I don't know.

Pick the first word that comes to your mind.

Sanctuary.

Do you like our pad?

Jenny needs a place to stay, and everybody seems to like her.

I think... I think she ought to stay here.

Where? It's crowded enough right now.

Old Stoney's got a pad all to himself.

Yeah.

It will scare him half to death. You know how Stoney is about chicks.

He's a one-nighter. No involvements, no commitments.

Come on. Get in bed with me.

Man... what would he say?
