Madonna: Truth or Dare

You know, l think l'm in a state of shock.

l know the tour is over, but it's...

lt's like last week in Spain l really felt like l would have a nervous breakdown.

l couldn't take the crowds outside, l couldn't do the shows.

lt was too hot. Everything was getting to me.

l thought, "Oh, l think l'm getting ready

"for the depression of what l'm gonna feel when the tour's over with,"

but l really didn't feel emotional last night.

l know everybody else did, and everyone was crying,

but l didn't feel emotional.

lt was like it already ended for me.

lt's like when you know someone's dying,

you have to make your peace kind of before they die.

l've done this with close friends of mine.

lt's like l make my peace with it before it happens, so l don't get really hurt.

And then when it happens, it's like...

l don't feel anything.

But l know l'm gonna feel something later.

l just don't know when that's gonna be.

l guess it's a protection device.

l hope l'm in a safe place when it happens.

What's wrong with me? l'm freaking out. l have Japanitis.

Let's walk.

Stop, stop.

- Stop. Stop. - l'm on it!

Keith, you motherfucker!

Hello?

l'm sorry, the level up here is not that loud,

and there's no reason for all this feedback.

lf we can't get it to sound better than this, then l am not doing a show,

so someone who knows about sound better come up here

and explain something to me.

- l'm waiting. She's getting pissed.

Why can Donna and Niki not hear themselves?

Where's John Draper?

She sees me, and the smile is gone.

Because it's raining, Freddy.

- l know it is. - You think it's funny.

- No, l don't. -

l don't think it's funny at all.

Get out. l'm having a business talk. Good-bye.

Ouch!

Who does she think she is, my mama?

Snatchin' on my head like she's in the kitchen.

l only look white.

She sure is. She's really Mabel.

Remember? From What's Happening? That's her.

l was born a poor black child.

With no rhythm.

Look at her hair! Motherfuckin' piccaninny-lookin' shit.

"No, massa! l don't wanna do no make-up for Madonna, massa."

Honey, l got rhythm.

Do it the way it looks smoother.

No, l'm saying, do you like it over your head?

No. The great thing is you're hidden behind me when you pop out.

That's why l asked. Do you want me to do it over your head or not?

l don't think so.

Why don't you go take a poll? Ask everybody--

- Take a poll? - Yeah. And ram it up your ass.

l'm just kidding. l'm just kidding, Ollie.

No. See, you said it.

Every goddamn day, you throw this little fag stuff on me.

- Ollie! - Yeah, put this on tape.

Don't you know what a poll is?

A pole! Where's a pole? That's a pole.

No, a poll is when you go around and you take--

lt's like--A poll is like--

- Wait a minute, you said "pole". - You're forgiven, Ollie.

Everything you don't know, l forgive you for.

Now, let Mama get her make-up done.

Oh, God. l love having children to watch over.

You're not filming me getting an adjustment.

l won't be able to relax. l'm serious.

- lt's important. - Alek, no. No way.

- We talked about this in L.A. - About me getting an adjustment?

Uh-huh.

- Just tune it out. - l'm just gonna--

Julie, shut up. Don't tell me to tune it out.

Now take a deep breath. Drop this shoulder.

lt's cold like a New York winter day.

lt's snowing weather, that's what it's like.

All of you, put black tights on.

Just put the Vogue costume on, put your jacket on,

and that's your costume for the night, okay?

This is so wild. l'm panicking right now.

Belgium stress.

Five minutes, everybody. Showtime.

Genki desuka, Tokyo.

l don't know about you, but l'm freezin' my ass off.

But we're gonna try to do a show for you anyway.

lt goes something like this.

For some strange reason, l failed to realize

that the first leg of the tour was during the rainy season in Japan,

so for three straight weeks, we performed the show in a blizzard.

But the dancers are so excited to be performing for an audience,

the world could've been blowing up and they wouldn't have cared.

l, on the other hand, was not in the mood for "Eskimos on lce",

and l think the only thing that kept me from slashing my wrists

was the thought of coming back to America

and doing the show the way it was meant to be.

All right, America!

Do you believe in love?

'Cause l got something to say about it,

and it goes something like this.

By the time we left Japan,

l found myself growing really attached to the dancers,

and l started feeling like a mother to them.

Gabriel, since you never give me any attitude,

you get the oldest and most valuable one.

Thank you.

When we finally got to America, l got the chance to meet

the mothers of the all children that l had temporarily claimed as my own.

And the parents were usually as colorful as their kids.

This is Mama Mama-Make-up.

lsn't she cute? Don't we look alike?

This is Mothers' Day. Happy Mama's Day.

Carlton's mom's in the hallway. Check it out, l just heard her.

There she is.

- Hi. - l want one with her, please. l must.

She is so tiny and cute.

Do l have to listen to this?

See, that's why l want my radio on. Those girls annoy me.

lt's Donna imitating Belinda Carlisle.

Niki's mommy is singing.

That's the one.

You know it's a bad sign when they want you to go on half an hour early.

Everything's fine. We've got 3/4 of an hour.

No, but, you know, we're in a conservative town.

And that is another reason to not want to live in Chicago.

Aside from the fact that Oprah Winfrey lives here.
