Running Out of Luck (1985) Movie Script
Lover, you promised me sunshine.
Oh, we could catch
Sisto Amias's hookworm.
Or, oh my God, leprosy.
Leprosy.
They have emeralds here.
You'll be lucky, darling.
You could have stayed in New York
and done the stupid video in the studio.
But no, you had to come down to Rio and
not live it up.
You're so bloody spoiled.
Yes, like a glut of plums.
I don't know what
your husband saw in you.
How about beauty, brains and sex?
Get out.
What are we doing here?
It's goddamn raining!
It doesn't rain here all the time.
Yes, but tonight.
Dateline October 2nd, Rio de Janeiro.
Rockstar Mick Jagger
arrived in Brazil today
with girlfriend Jerry Hall in tow
to shoot scenes for his upcoming
video clip, Running Out of Luck.
The jet-set couple plan
to stay at the famous hotel.
And I'm not gonna tell
you what the name is, folks.
Because they wouldn't like it.
Rockstar Mick Jagger
and his girlfriend Jerry Hall
come to Rio to make scenes for
their new video clip.
The famous couple is residing in
Copacabana Palace.
Why are we actually here?
Well, you know, it's a bit far from a
good color, you know what I mean?
Oh, right, Mick.
It's a bit, you know, ethnic as your
father.
So how do my tits look?
Do you think I need more tissue?
Well, it's still a bit flat, actually.
- Right, Mick?
- Get out.
Come on, darling.
Ow!
Who's at me?
Oh, get out.
You know I'm allergic to feathers.
You're so far up yourself,
you're inside out.
Go on. I love you
when you're offensive.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
Get out.
Guys, give me five guys up there on the
scaffolding.
It's not safe.
Don't tell me it's not safe!
Just get them up there!
I'm tired of this rapido-stapido shit!
Just get them up there!
Insure them!
I don't give a shit!
What is this?
Wardrobe! Wardrobe!
What is this?
Brazil, isn't it?
This is New York Street!
New York Street!
How many times do I have to tell you?
But Mick said that --
Mick said, Mick says
this, Mick says that.
How many times do I have to tell you
there's only one star on my set?
And that's me!
Showtime! Showtime!
Hey, man, we're lit.
We're set.
And you're ready to rock, right?
Uh, why am I supposed to be doing in
this, anyway?
I mean, it's not all carnival dances
and that, is it?
No, no. It's New York Street, man.
I mean, you saw West Side Story,
right?
No.
Uh.
You don't have to worry
about it, babe. You're a natural.
I mean, all you gotta
do is do your thing.
You're professional.
Mm-hmm.
Look, we gotta get
this show on the road.
All right, I'll be ready.
All right.
Videos.
No, no, no, it's not video.
You gotta think of it as a feature,
Mick.
Features, then!
Action!
We got half a life, we got half a dream.
We got half a love,
we got half a scheme.
Always sitting in the darkness,
I'll wait for you.
Nervous of the neighbors,
I'd like a hotel room.
'Cause I'm indiscreet, can't keep quiet.
Heaven I don't know how.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
Give that knife
just one more little twist.
This affair is
really going to break my heart.
Yo.
Nah.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
Living half a life is
better than nothing, half a dream.
You know I can't keep quiet
'cause I'm indiscreet.
I guess half a loaf
leaves me feeling hungry.
Half a glass, half a dream, half a life.
Get more heartbreak.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
What?
Give that knife
just one more little twist.
This affair is
really going to break my heart.
Let's call our friends!
Let's go hang out!
- Hey, guys, check it out.
- Let's go out dancing!
Let's jump and shout!
Let's go be seen! Let's dress up chic!
Show we're in love! Right on our street!
Let's go out trashy! Let's go act cheap!
What does it matter
what other people think?
Step in the bright lights!
Let's go act wild!
I want to show that
you're mine all mine.
Ahh.
Ah.
Forget it.
Where ya going, Mick?
D'ya hear me, Mick?
Here's to freezing in the doorways.
Here's to taking separate taxis.
To our stolen conversations.
We're never seen together.
Half a dream, half a life,
heaven I don't know how.
But I can't go on seeing you like this.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
Get down.
Give that knife
just one more little twist.
This affair is
really going to break my heart.
Oh. Half a dream.
Half a life.
Oh.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
Bow down.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
Give that knife
just one more little twist.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
Does anyone here speak English?
Cut!
I say now, you carnival ghosts!
Get them off, will ya!
Cut!
Get out of my way!
Aw, for what? You're nothing.
It's nothing, Mick.
Hey, thank you.
Keep the change.
Videos?
I'm making beer commercials.
I don't need videos to sell my records.
They'll sell on their own.
Let's go, let's go to the trailer.
I've got a lovely trailer.
How about a bit of a three-way switch
here?
You're gonna love this trailer.
It's got fur-lined walls.
The old number, Jacuzzi.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, I'm lucky.
Yes, I'm lucky.
Yes, I'm lucky.
Yes, I'm lucky.
Yes, I'm lucky.
Yes, I'm lucky.
Lucky with the ladies.
Otherwise, I'd go crazy.
I'm lucky.
Lucky with the ladies.
Oh, you're such a sweetheart, darling.
You are a little fool, darling.
Here, come on, bring me.
I love you.
Oh, you're such a bad old dear.
You're still burning.
Here, come on, bring me.
I want it.
She's a keeper.
Agh!
Hey!
No.
Ow.
Fuck you.
Ow.
Ow.
Fucking hell.
Let's split the money.
Now. Let's split it now.
Calm down.
Here, one for you.
And one for you.
No.
But what about the rest of the money?
Girl, you've got a watch.
You don't have any money.
Come on, girl.
Lord, let me out of here.
Gotta get him out.
Out!
Here. Here you go.
There. There you go. Hang on.
Come on.
Here you go. There.
Come on.
I've got a 60 bill here.
I must get you up.
Hey.
Must just get you up.
This guy is
What do I do? That's evil.
Sir.
I mean I really thought he had outgrown
this dumb ass inconsiderate behavior.
Will you look at that.
I mean how does he think
he's going to get that home?
It does look a little
like Mick, doesn't it?
Ha ha ha.
I'm flying home.
He's not with you.
No, and he's very lucky he's not.
No! Don't! Oh!
Well, there goes the shoot.
I'll kill that son of a bitch!
Oh, Jerry, please!
You can't leave.
Oh, we can have so much fun in Rio!
Please, don't go!
Don't go!
Let's go to papa!
Let's go to papa!
Oh, please!
But I'm rich!
I have money!
The storm is over, honey!
My father, as well as Volkswagen
Brazil!
Don't go, Jerry!
Jerry! Jerry!
Outa luck, outa luck! Outa luck,
outa luck! Outa luck, outa luck!
Running out of luck,
running out of speed.
Looking for some loving,
yes I got the need.
Must have spent a fortune,
but did I spend it well.
If I wanted water,
I got it from the well.
Throwing out a whole life's
low life's possessions.
Throwing out a whole life's
low life's possessions.
Running out of heat,
running out of gas.
Running out of money, way too fast.
Running out of liquor,
there's nothing left to eat.
Running out of luck,
hungry for the meat.
Running out of whole life's
low life's possessions.
Running out of luck,
living with the loneliness.
Living with the loneliness
Running out of luck.
Heavy on the holiness
Take it easy with the emptiness.
Running out of luck.
Push it to the brink,
you can take it to the edge.
Fighting for survival,
clinging to the ledge.
You can strip me back to nothing,
ah, you never get me beat.
You're running out of luck,
just running out of heat.
Running out of whole life's
low life's possessions.
A young woman.
Running out of whole life's
low life's possessions.
Running out of luck,
living with the loneliness.
Running out of luck,
heavy on the holiness,
Meeting with the ex today.
Running out of luck.
Never give up.
Danger! Danger! Danger! Danger! Danger!
Hey!
Hey!
Aghhh!
Oh!
Get me outta here!
Are you strong, English?
No.
I mean it.
I've got to get to Rio.
Or to a phone.
Yourself?
Uh.
Thanks.
Very good.
I've just got to get to the phone,
though, if you don't mind.
Ah, you're drunk again!
If I could get to the
phone as soon as...
It would be nice if I could just make a
couple of calls.
What's this?
This way to the bar? Is it?
Please. Here.
I wanted to use the phone.
Right.
I'll be right back.
Is this where you're going to pose
tonight?
It's nothing.
It's not supposed to be anything.
Tell me.
Give me a piece of this bread.
Have a little bread.
There's better little
breads than nothing.
Isn't it?
Stay home my child, stay home with me.
Stay home my child, stay home with me.
Oh please!
When I first met you,
you looked so soft.
So feminine, you looked so lost.
Okay, you're the boss.
Okay, you're the boss.
Okay! Okay! Okay!

I've got a headache.
You want it right now, baby?
Well, I've got to wash my hair.

More, more, more.
No more. No more.
Agh!
This is Mick Jagger.
Yeah.
It's very good English now.
It's a lot of English.
Wheee!
Very good.
Come on.
Whoa!
Take your clothes off.
Girl, do you need help?
It's everything right there.
Look at this one.
You're gonna get licorice now.
Hey, hey, look.
Hey hey.
Shoes.
Shoes.
Zapatos.
Play then. Play then.
I'll take the girl.
Do you speak English?
I speak American.
This is a very long story, but what I
really like is...
Shh. I know.
Hey, why do I always fall?
Why?
You don't know what I'm talking about.
No, I just let it pop down.
Hey, not her.
It's a woman.
Oh.
I just want to use the telephone,
you know.
The blower.
Blower?
I just want to use the telephone,
you know.
Telephono.
Sit. Sit.
Upstairs.
No, you don't understand.
Oh.
Oh.
Are we anywhere near Rio?
Rio?
Yeah.
I want to get back to civilization.
Look.
It's so beautiful here.
Ah, the sunrise.
The sunrise.
I'm sort of famous.
I'm a musician.
A musician?
I make music.
I like you.
She's a hard woman to please.
And I thought about letting her know.
She's a hard lady to leave.
And I thought about letting her go.
She's a tough lady to leave.
But, I thought about it.
She's a hard lady to please.
Yes, she is.
I gave her laughter.
She wanted diamonds.
I was romantic.
She treated me cruelly.
Where is the money?
Where is the love?
You see.
Passion has a funny way.
Of burning down and running low.
And suddenly it goes out.
And you wonder where does it go.
She's a hard lady to leave, yes she is.
I gave her laughter,
she wanted diamonds.
She was unfaithful, treated me cruelly.
Where is the mercy, where is the love?
I'm alone at last;
something inside of me knows.
I could have loved in vain
For a thousand years.
I have to let her go.
I've got to let her go.
I've got to say goodbye.
How can I say
goodbye to my baby?
She's a tough cookie, hard lady.
I've got to say goodbye.
Alone at last
and something inside of me knows.
I could have loved in vain
for a thousand years.
I have to let her go.
Uh. Bongiorno.
Can I use the phone s'il vous plat.
Telefono.
Do you speak Spanish?
Telefono.
- Telefono?

Credit. Money.
Oh. Um.
Yeah. I don't have any money, see?
Uh, I'm Mick Jagger.
Uh, Mickie.
Mickie Jaggero.
Mickie.
I don't know what he's talking about.
I don't understand anything he's talking
about.
Take care of him! Ei yi yi.
Uh, very famous rock star.
I'm Mickie Jagger.
Crazy bum.
That's me.
I mean, I'm, I'm him.
It's me.
Here, I'll put it on.
You're gonna remember this one.
I was crowned with a spike
right through my head.
Yeah!
But it's all right now.
In fact, it's a gas.
But it's all right now!
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash.
It's a gas, gas, gas.
Woo! Woo!
No?
Well, you'll remember this one then.
You've got to remember this one.
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good?
Loco.
Aghh!
Brown sugar, just like
a young girl should.
Woo!
Woo!
I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!
No?
Don't you remember any of it?
You see? Look.
Me?
Me.
It's me? It's me.
Forget it.
10,000.
Okay. I'm not Mick Jagger.
I'm broke.
And I'll put on Julio Iglesias.
Samba.
Samba, wake up.
He's here!
Where is he?
That mother of the mother.
He's here.
Goddamn it!
Son of a bitch!
English!
English!
I want the English!
What?
And now!
There.
Turn the girl loose,
I won't hurt nobody.
Turn the girl loose,
let her speak for herself.
The hounds are on the track,
they won't catch nobody.
The hounds are on the track,
I don't really care.
- How's that?
- That's it.
Shout it out!
She ain't your lover.
Shout it out!
She ain't your brother.
Yeah!
Turn the girl loose!
They are out of your heart.
5, 8, 6, 6, 9, 1, 2, 1, 3, 5, 8,
6, 6, 9, 1, 8, that's right.
Hello, operator?
Yes, I'd like to make a call
to Los Angeles, California, America.
Great. Yes, collecto.
Reverso chargeo, yes.
Mick Jagger.
Yeah, the number is 213-586-6918.
Yeah.
Angelo. Telephone.
Hello?
- What do you mean?
- He won't accept the charge.
What do you mean
he won't accept the charge?
I have asked him.
Tell him it's Mick.
I've told him your name.
Tell him again.
I-am sorry, sir.
If you want to speak to him, you have to
pay at your own cost.
OK. Keep him on the line.
They want money.
Are you going to pay
for the call or not, sir?
OK, OK. Coming.
Hello?
Hello?
- Angelo?
- It is.
Angelo. It's me. Mick.
I'm sure.
Look. I need some tickets, back
to LA, some money, my passport...
I've had a lot of trouble down here.
Look, buddy, if you don't get off this
line, I'm gonna call the cops.
You creeps should hang around the morgue
where you belong.
But Angelo!
Sick, buddy, sick!
You're really sick.
But it's me!
It's Mick!
I'm alive and well!
Look, kiddo.
I know how you feel.
You're not the only fan
who went to pieces.
But we have to face reality.
Mick's dead.
He's dead and gone.
Turn that girl loose.
I won't hurt nobody.
Turn the girl loose,
let her speak for herself.
Turn the girl loose,
let her speak for herself.
Turn the girl loose,
let her speak for herself.
Put her on the rack,
put her in seclusion.
Hold tight!
When you turned your back,
I got the keys to her heart.
That's right.
She's calling out
across the lacquered ocean, yeah.
What?
She's crying, crying out for help.
Turn the girl loose!
Turn the girl loose!
Turn the girl loose!
Let her speak for herself.
Turn the girl loose!
Turn the girl loose!
Let me speak for myself.
Turn the girl loose!
Excuse me, sir.
Do you have a tie?
Yeah, I've got one here somewhere.
I am sorry, sir.
The lady really isn't properly dressed.
Well, she's got a dress on.
Look at her feet!
What's wrong with them?
I'm afraid, sir.
These are the rules of the house.
It's okay.
You go in, I'll wait.
I won't be long.
You wait here, okay?
Check.
A betting fool, a gambling man.
No sooner up you're down again.
Mama said you won't get hurt.
Don't play the cards,
you won't get burned.
But there's a place where I still win.
But there's no money in this thing.
The game of hearts puts me in spades.
The only game I got it made.
Oh, I'm lucky in love.
Yes, I've got the winning touch.
Lucky in love.
Suddenly, I'm dangerous.
I'm betting on a filly
down at the track.
A natural-born winner, that's a fact.
A hundred yards from the winning post
(c'mon, c'mon).
The horse fell down,
must a seen a ghost.
But there's a place where I still win.
That is still my sure-fire thing.
I will play the jack of spades.
You play the queen, I'll play the knave.
Oh, I'm lucky in love.
Yes, I've got the winning touch.
Lucky in love.
Suddenly, I'm dangerous.
Yeah.
I know it's a mystery.
When the numbers come up.
Mathematics is Greek to me.
But I'm lucky, I'm lucky,
I'm lucky in love.
Yeah, Las Vegas at night
at the roulette wheel.
Yeah, Monte Carlo try to cut a deal.
Atlantic City, I lose at craps.
Back in London try to win it back, yes.
And late at night I lay in bed.
With a pistol to my head, mmm.
Swear I couldn't take no more.
And in she walks right through my door.
Oh, I'm lucky in love.
Ooh, when I think I've had enough.
'Cause I'm lucky in love.
Yes, I've got the winning touch,
Suddenly, I'm dangerous.
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky.
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky.
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky.
Lucky with the ladies.
Thank God for the ladies.
Otherwise, I'd go, I'd go crazy.
How about a line of credit.
For say, ten thousand dollars?
Eighteen on the red, woah.
Put me, put me home to bed, baby.
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky.
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky.
.
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky.
Lucky with the ladies.
Yeah, I'm sitting here
with a full house.
I just can't believe
I'll lose out on this.
Okay! You want to see me?
Well I got, I got a full house.
What's that? A royal flush?
Well, ain't that a bust.
I'm broke.
How much I got?
Hey.
No.
Later, man.
Enough cards.
Good night.
March in order.
Hell.
Where?
Hey, something happened.
Mickey?
Something happened.
Hey there.
He didn't have a shot.
I heard a story.
All about you.
I heard the secrets.
Maybe they're true.
I read the papers.
I read the news.
I hear the gossip.
All about you.
They say that you're really not
so prim and prude.
Behind it all you're rather rude.
And really go for younger men.
Italian types and lots of them.
I can't believe it, baby.
Maybe it's true.
Honey, honey, honey!
Do it for the money.
I heard the stories.
On Saturday night.
Out in the back room.
After one or two lies
(one or two lines).
Your name is mentioned.
It gives me a fright (give me a fright).
.
Dishonorable mention.
Puts you in a new light.
You've been going downtown
slave romancing.
Nasty, mean and fancy dancin'.
With your nose in plastic bags.
People talk and tongues all wag.
I can't believe it, baby.
I've been a fool 'cause.
Scales have just fell from my eyes.
You can't keep up your disguise.
Tell me about your
adventures in living.
I won't write a word of libel.
Swear it on a thousand Bibles.
But, I admit, I have got my misgivings.
Maybe it's true.
Honey, honey, honey!
Do it for the money.
I read the papers.
I read the news.
I scan the columns.
For pictures of you.
You with the husband.
You with the mayor.
You with the kids.
Now who are you
kidding, who you kidding?
How can you dare?
While you're the mistress of a mafia man
Who's working for the Vatican.
And all your money crisply
ironed in off-shore banks.
Your friends are kind.
I can't believe it baby.
Maybe it's, maybe it's true.
Let it go.
Honey, honey, honey.
Do it for the money.
Yeah.
You've been a nasty girl.
Yeah, you've been bad.
You've been bad, you've been bad.
You better come over here.
And take your punishment.
Bad, bad, bad, bad.
Bad, bad, bad, bad.
Bad, bad, bad.
Bad, bad, bad, bad.
Honey, honey, honey.
Do it for the money.
Honey, honey, honey.
Do it for the money.
Honey, honey, honey.
Do it for the money.
Maybe it's true.
Honey, honey, honey.
Do it for the money.
I read the papers.
I read the news.
I scan the columns.
For pictures of you.
You with the husband.
You with the mayor.
You with the kids.
Now who are you

How can you dare?

Who's working for the Vatican.
And all your money crisply
ironed in off-shore banks.
Your friends are kind.

Wow! Look here.
Oh yeah.
How much for the Englishman?
How much is this Englishman worth?
More than that.
More.
Thank you.
Number 10. Englishman.
I'm gonna fix you up.
Come. Come.
Micky!
Micky!
Micky?
Yeah, I'd like
a flight to London please.
I'm sorry sir. There are
no more flights today.
But I can book you
on a flight tomorrow.
Okay.
You know, you look
a bit like Mick Jagger.
No no, he is dead.
I missed you.
Go away.
Go away, people.
Brazil is hot and exotic.
No one told me it was going to be this
hot.
Watch where you're going.
Bridget. Please.
Can you tell the Brazilian fans what
you're doing in Brazil?
I'm making a video.
Why did you choose Brazil?
It's hot and exotic.
Look, that's enough of these questions.
Can I tell you?
Why don't you stay with me?
I've got to go back.
Tonight
let's spend together.
Okay.
Why don't you sing?
Well it's not really my kind of music.
I mean or my kind of crowd.
Oh come and sing.
Come on.
Well I'm a bit out of practice.
I mean I haven't done this for ages.
For me?
Uh can I borrow the bag?
Give us your coat.
Give me just another night,
just another night with you.
Give me just another kiss,
just before the dawn breaks through.
'Cause I'm homesick,
feel a little down and blue.
And I'm hurting,
hurting baby just like you.
I was lonely
'til I saw you at the station.
And I never thought
you'd keep our rendezvous.
Baby, it's true.
Give me just another night,
just another night with you.
Give me just another kiss,
just before the dawn breaks through.
'Cause I'm hungry,
hungry for your loving, baby.
And I'm thirsty,
thirsty for your loving, baby.
And a one-day pass to heaven is
so hard to find.
And a one-night pass
ain't really what I had in mind.
I need your sweet tenderness,
I need your soft caress.
I know the day is coming,
don't take away your loving.
Can't you see that I'm human?
Just because you've seen my face,
just because you know my name.
I'm a stranger in this town,
can't I have my ups and downs?
Can't you see that I'm human?
I get hungry, get thirsty.
I get moody, I need attention.
I need your love.
I need your love.
I want your love.
Give me just another night,
just another night with you.
'Cause I'm freezing
in this hundred-dollar hotel room.
Don't make me leave you.
No, don't you be so cruel.
Ya-ya-ya.
Ya-ya-ya. Ya-ya.
Hello.
Uh upstairs are we?
Two floors up.
Alright.
Are you having a drink or what?
No.
How about yourself?
Listen.
I've heard a whisper.
Pardon?
A whisper.
What do you mean you've heard a whisper?
About a certain performer.
What kind of performer?
The dead one?
Nah.
You want the hope and anchor, pal.
I've heard there's a rock band
rehearsing here.
There's no bands here.
We've got no room.
Upstairs.
Folk club.
Lonely.
- Lonely.
- It's traditional.
Do you know what I mean?
You'll have that drink.
Lonely.
Lonely.
God knows you're ambitious,
see you push so hard.
Second floor.
You want to get to the top
of the heap from Sunset Boulevard.
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray.
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray.
'Cause it's lonely, lonely at the top.
Mate?
Baby, it's hot!
Oh, mate. There's no shame.
What did I tell you?
I've been all over Brazil
looking for you, Mick.
Make me go be your one man.
Just thought of something.
Ignore it. It's nothing.
You're making me scared.
Oh, if you really
want the part this bad.
Yeah, go on, show them
how a star should act.
Yeah.
Lonely.
Lonely at the top.
Baby, it's hot.
Yeah, it's lonely, lonely at the top.
Baby, it's hot.
They're going to tear your soul away.
You could be a doctor,
you could be a nurse.
There's no time to rehearse.
You work as a waitress,
you clean up the bar.
But soon you'll be noticed,
you'll be a star.
You get your nomination,
your heart's beating fast.
Yes, and the winner is you!
You won the prize at last.
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray.
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray.
'Cause it's lonely, lonely at the top.
Yeah, baby, it's hot!
They're going to strip your soul away.
It's lonely, lonely.
It's lonely.
Lonely.
You get thirsty.
You know you get thirsty...
It'll make you crazy.
I was dejected.
Jumping on a Maytag.
Theater is deserted.
And the boards are bare.
You're next up for the reading.
And you're feeling scared.
Oh. Do you really want
out of part that bad?
Yeah, go on,
show them how a star should act.
Yeah it's lonely.
Lonely at the top.
Baby, it's hot.
Oh, we could catch
Sisto Amias's hookworm.
Or, oh my God, leprosy.
Leprosy.
They have emeralds here.
You'll be lucky, darling.
You could have stayed in New York
and done the stupid video in the studio.
But no, you had to come down to Rio and
not live it up.
You're so bloody spoiled.
Yes, like a glut of plums.
I don't know what
your husband saw in you.
How about beauty, brains and sex?
Get out.
What are we doing here?
It's goddamn raining!
It doesn't rain here all the time.
Yes, but tonight.
Dateline October 2nd, Rio de Janeiro.
Rockstar Mick Jagger
arrived in Brazil today
with girlfriend Jerry Hall in tow
to shoot scenes for his upcoming
video clip, Running Out of Luck.
The jet-set couple plan
to stay at the famous hotel.
And I'm not gonna tell
you what the name is, folks.
Because they wouldn't like it.
Rockstar Mick Jagger
and his girlfriend Jerry Hall
come to Rio to make scenes for
their new video clip.
The famous couple is residing in
Copacabana Palace.
Why are we actually here?
Well, you know, it's a bit far from a
good color, you know what I mean?
Oh, right, Mick.
It's a bit, you know, ethnic as your
father.
So how do my tits look?
Do you think I need more tissue?
Well, it's still a bit flat, actually.
- Right, Mick?
- Get out.
Come on, darling.
Ow!
Who's at me?
Oh, get out.
You know I'm allergic to feathers.
You're so far up yourself,
you're inside out.
Go on. I love you
when you're offensive.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
Get out.
Guys, give me five guys up there on the
scaffolding.
It's not safe.
Don't tell me it's not safe!
Just get them up there!
I'm tired of this rapido-stapido shit!
Just get them up there!
Insure them!
I don't give a shit!
What is this?
Wardrobe! Wardrobe!
What is this?
Brazil, isn't it?
This is New York Street!
New York Street!
How many times do I have to tell you?
But Mick said that --
Mick said, Mick says
this, Mick says that.
How many times do I have to tell you
there's only one star on my set?
And that's me!
Showtime! Showtime!
Hey, man, we're lit.
We're set.
And you're ready to rock, right?
Uh, why am I supposed to be doing in
this, anyway?
I mean, it's not all carnival dances
and that, is it?
No, no. It's New York Street, man.
I mean, you saw West Side Story,
right?
No.
Uh.
You don't have to worry
about it, babe. You're a natural.
I mean, all you gotta
do is do your thing.
You're professional.
Mm-hmm.
Look, we gotta get
this show on the road.
All right, I'll be ready.
All right.
Videos.
No, no, no, it's not video.
You gotta think of it as a feature,
Mick.
Features, then!
Action!
We got half a life, we got half a dream.
We got half a love,
we got half a scheme.
Always sitting in the darkness,
I'll wait for you.
Nervous of the neighbors,
I'd like a hotel room.
'Cause I'm indiscreet, can't keep quiet.
Heaven I don't know how.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
Give that knife
just one more little twist.
This affair is
really going to break my heart.
Yo.
Nah.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
Living half a life is
better than nothing, half a dream.
You know I can't keep quiet
'cause I'm indiscreet.
I guess half a loaf
leaves me feeling hungry.
Half a glass, half a dream, half a life.
Get more heartbreak.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
What?
Give that knife
just one more little twist.
This affair is
really going to break my heart.
Let's call our friends!
Let's go hang out!
- Hey, guys, check it out.
- Let's go out dancing!
Let's jump and shout!
Let's go be seen! Let's dress up chic!
Show we're in love! Right on our street!
Let's go out trashy! Let's go act cheap!
What does it matter
what other people think?
Step in the bright lights!
Let's go act wild!
I want to show that
you're mine all mine.
Ahh.
Ah.
Forget it.
Where ya going, Mick?
D'ya hear me, Mick?
Here's to freezing in the doorways.
Here's to taking separate taxis.
To our stolen conversations.
We're never seen together.
Half a dream, half a life,
heaven I don't know how.
But I can't go on seeing you like this.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
Get down.
Give that knife
just one more little twist.
This affair is
really going to break my heart.
Oh. Half a dream.
Half a life.
Oh.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
Bow down.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
Give that knife
just one more little twist.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
I can't go on seeing you like this.
Does anyone here speak English?
Cut!
I say now, you carnival ghosts!
Get them off, will ya!
Cut!
Get out of my way!
Aw, for what? You're nothing.
It's nothing, Mick.
Hey, thank you.
Keep the change.
Videos?
I'm making beer commercials.
I don't need videos to sell my records.
They'll sell on their own.
Let's go, let's go to the trailer.
I've got a lovely trailer.
How about a bit of a three-way switch
here?
You're gonna love this trailer.
It's got fur-lined walls.
The old number, Jacuzzi.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, I'm lucky.
Yes, I'm lucky.
Yes, I'm lucky.
Yes, I'm lucky.
Yes, I'm lucky.
Yes, I'm lucky.
Lucky with the ladies.
Otherwise, I'd go crazy.
I'm lucky.
Lucky with the ladies.
Oh, you're such a sweetheart, darling.
You are a little fool, darling.
Here, come on, bring me.
I love you.
Oh, you're such a bad old dear.
You're still burning.
Here, come on, bring me.
I want it.
She's a keeper.
Agh!
Hey!
No.
Ow.
Fuck you.
Ow.
Ow.
Fucking hell.
Let's split the money.
Now. Let's split it now.
Calm down.
Here, one for you.
And one for you.
No.
But what about the rest of the money?
Girl, you've got a watch.
You don't have any money.
Come on, girl.
Lord, let me out of here.
Gotta get him out.
Out!
Here. Here you go.
There. There you go. Hang on.
Come on.
Here you go. There.
Come on.
I've got a 60 bill here.
I must get you up.
Hey.
Must just get you up.
This guy is
What do I do? That's evil.
Sir.
I mean I really thought he had outgrown
this dumb ass inconsiderate behavior.
Will you look at that.
I mean how does he think
he's going to get that home?
It does look a little
like Mick, doesn't it?
Ha ha ha.
I'm flying home.
He's not with you.
No, and he's very lucky he's not.
No! Don't! Oh!
Well, there goes the shoot.
I'll kill that son of a bitch!
Oh, Jerry, please!
You can't leave.
Oh, we can have so much fun in Rio!
Please, don't go!
Don't go!
Let's go to papa!
Let's go to papa!
Oh, please!
But I'm rich!
I have money!
The storm is over, honey!
My father, as well as Volkswagen
Brazil!
Don't go, Jerry!
Jerry! Jerry!
Outa luck, outa luck! Outa luck,
outa luck! Outa luck, outa luck!
Running out of luck,
running out of speed.
Looking for some loving,
yes I got the need.
Must have spent a fortune,
but did I spend it well.
If I wanted water,
I got it from the well.
Throwing out a whole life's
low life's possessions.
Throwing out a whole life's
low life's possessions.
Running out of heat,
running out of gas.
Running out of money, way too fast.
Running out of liquor,
there's nothing left to eat.
Running out of luck,
hungry for the meat.
Running out of whole life's
low life's possessions.
Running out of luck,
living with the loneliness.
Living with the loneliness
Running out of luck.
Heavy on the holiness
Take it easy with the emptiness.
Running out of luck.
Push it to the brink,
you can take it to the edge.
Fighting for survival,
clinging to the ledge.
You can strip me back to nothing,
ah, you never get me beat.
You're running out of luck,
just running out of heat.
Running out of whole life's
low life's possessions.
A young woman.
Running out of whole life's
low life's possessions.
Running out of luck,
living with the loneliness.
Running out of luck,
heavy on the holiness,
Meeting with the ex today.
Running out of luck.
Never give up.
Danger! Danger! Danger! Danger! Danger!
Hey!
Hey!
Aghhh!
Oh!
Get me outta here!
Are you strong, English?
No.
I mean it.
I've got to get to Rio.
Or to a phone.
Yourself?
Uh.
Thanks.
Very good.
I've just got to get to the phone,
though, if you don't mind.
Ah, you're drunk again!
If I could get to the
phone as soon as...
It would be nice if I could just make a
couple of calls.
What's this?
This way to the bar? Is it?
Please. Here.
I wanted to use the phone.
Right.
I'll be right back.
Is this where you're going to pose
tonight?
It's nothing.
It's not supposed to be anything.
Tell me.
Give me a piece of this bread.
Have a little bread.
There's better little
breads than nothing.
Isn't it?
Stay home my child, stay home with me.
Stay home my child, stay home with me.
Oh please!
When I first met you,
you looked so soft.
So feminine, you looked so lost.
Okay, you're the boss.
Okay, you're the boss.
Okay! Okay! Okay!
I'll do what you say. Okay.
She's the governor.
She's number one.
From where I'm standing...

It's all over.
The party's over.

The parties over. It's over.
Yeah. She's the boss.
She's the boss. Hey!
Yeah!
She's the boss.
She's the boss.
She's got the pants on.
Now, she's the boss.
Now, stay home.
What I say?
You want to what?
Not right now baby.
I've got a headache.
You want it right now, baby?
Well, I've got to wash my hair.
You know, it's my
time of the month.
Okay, okay! I'll do what

She's the boss.
Oh, no.
She's the boss.
Fuck me.
Oh.
Come on, more English.
More, more, more.
No more. No more.
Agh!
This is Mick Jagger.
Yeah.
It's very good English now.
It's a lot of English.
Wheee!
Very good.
Come on.
Whoa!
Take your clothes off.
Girl, do you need help?
It's everything right there.
Look at this one.
You're gonna get licorice now.
Hey, hey, look.
Hey hey.
Shoes.
Shoes.
Zapatos.
Play then. Play then.
I'll take the girl.
Do you speak English?
I speak American.
This is a very long story, but what I
really like is...
Shh. I know.
Hey, why do I always fall?
Why?
You don't know what I'm talking about.
No, I just let it pop down.
Hey, not her.
It's a woman.
Oh.
I just want to use the telephone,
you know.
The blower.
Blower?
I just want to use the telephone,
you know.
Telephono.
Sit. Sit.
Upstairs.
No, you don't understand.
Oh.
Oh.
Are we anywhere near Rio?
Rio?
Yeah.
I want to get back to civilization.
Look.
It's so beautiful here.
Ah, the sunrise.
The sunrise.
I'm sort of famous.
I'm a musician.
A musician?
I make music.
I like you.
She's a hard woman to please.
And I thought about letting her know.
She's a hard lady to leave.
And I thought about letting her go.
She's a tough lady to leave.
But, I thought about it.
She's a hard lady to please.
Yes, she is.
I gave her laughter.
She wanted diamonds.
I was romantic.
She treated me cruelly.
Where is the money?
Where is the love?
You see.
Passion has a funny way.
Of burning down and running low.
And suddenly it goes out.
And you wonder where does it go.
She's a hard lady to leave, yes she is.
I gave her laughter,
she wanted diamonds.
She was unfaithful, treated me cruelly.
Where is the mercy, where is the love?
I'm alone at last;
something inside of me knows.
I could have loved in vain
For a thousand years.
I have to let her go.
I've got to let her go.
I've got to say goodbye.
How can I say
goodbye to my baby?
She's a tough cookie, hard lady.
I've got to say goodbye.
Alone at last
and something inside of me knows.
I could have loved in vain
for a thousand years.
I have to let her go.
Uh. Bongiorno.
Can I use the phone s'il vous plat.
Telefono.
Do you speak Spanish?
Telefono.
- Telefono?

Credit. Money.
Oh. Um.
Yeah. I don't have any money, see?
Uh, I'm Mick Jagger.
Uh, Mickie.
Mickie Jaggero.
Mickie.
I don't know what he's talking about.
I don't understand anything he's talking
about.
Take care of him! Ei yi yi.
Uh, very famous rock star.
I'm Mickie Jagger.
Crazy bum.
That's me.
I mean, I'm, I'm him.
It's me.
Here, I'll put it on.
You're gonna remember this one.
I was crowned with a spike
right through my head.
Yeah!
But it's all right now.
In fact, it's a gas.
But it's all right now!
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash.
It's a gas, gas, gas.
Woo! Woo!
No?
Well, you'll remember this one then.
You've got to remember this one.
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good?
Loco.
Aghh!
Brown sugar, just like
a young girl should.
Woo!
Woo!
I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!
No?
Don't you remember any of it?
You see? Look.
Me?
Me.
It's me? It's me.
Forget it.
10,000.
Okay. I'm not Mick Jagger.
I'm broke.
And I'll put on Julio Iglesias.
Samba.
Samba, wake up.
He's here!
Where is he?
That mother of the mother.
He's here.
Goddamn it!
Son of a bitch!
English!
English!
I want the English!
What?
And now!
There.
Turn the girl loose,
I won't hurt nobody.
Turn the girl loose,
let her speak for herself.
The hounds are on the track,
they won't catch nobody.
The hounds are on the track,
I don't really care.
- How's that?
- That's it.
Shout it out!
She ain't your lover.
Shout it out!
She ain't your brother.
Yeah!
Turn the girl loose!
They are out of your heart.
5, 8, 6, 6, 9, 1, 2, 1, 3, 5, 8,
6, 6, 9, 1, 8, that's right.
Hello, operator?
Yes, I'd like to make a call
to Los Angeles, California, America.
Great. Yes, collecto.
Reverso chargeo, yes.
Mick Jagger.
Yeah, the number is 213-586-6918.
Yeah.
Angelo. Telephone.
Hello?
- What do you mean?
- He won't accept the charge.
What do you mean
he won't accept the charge?
I have asked him.
Tell him it's Mick.
I've told him your name.
Tell him again.
I-am sorry, sir.
If you want to speak to him, you have to
pay at your own cost.
OK. Keep him on the line.
They want money.
Are you going to pay
for the call or not, sir?
OK, OK. Coming.
Hello?
Hello?
- Angelo?
- It is.
Angelo. It's me. Mick.
I'm sure.
Look. I need some tickets, back
to LA, some money, my passport...
I've had a lot of trouble down here.
Look, buddy, if you don't get off this
line, I'm gonna call the cops.
You creeps should hang around the morgue
where you belong.
But Angelo!
Sick, buddy, sick!
You're really sick.
But it's me!
It's Mick!
I'm alive and well!
Look, kiddo.
I know how you feel.
You're not the only fan
who went to pieces.
But we have to face reality.
Mick's dead.
He's dead and gone.
Turn that girl loose.
I won't hurt nobody.
Turn the girl loose,
let her speak for herself.
Turn the girl loose,
let her speak for herself.
Turn the girl loose,
let her speak for herself.
Put her on the rack,
put her in seclusion.
Hold tight!
When you turned your back,
I got the keys to her heart.
That's right.
She's calling out
across the lacquered ocean, yeah.
What?
She's crying, crying out for help.
Turn the girl loose!
Turn the girl loose!
Turn the girl loose!
Let her speak for herself.
Turn the girl loose!
Turn the girl loose!
Let me speak for myself.
Turn the girl loose!
Excuse me, sir.
Do you have a tie?
Yeah, I've got one here somewhere.
I am sorry, sir.
The lady really isn't properly dressed.
Well, she's got a dress on.
Look at her feet!
What's wrong with them?
I'm afraid, sir.
These are the rules of the house.
It's okay.
You go in, I'll wait.
I won't be long.
You wait here, okay?
Check.
A betting fool, a gambling man.
No sooner up you're down again.
Mama said you won't get hurt.
Don't play the cards,
you won't get burned.
But there's a place where I still win.
But there's no money in this thing.
The game of hearts puts me in spades.
The only game I got it made.
Oh, I'm lucky in love.
Yes, I've got the winning touch.
Lucky in love.
Suddenly, I'm dangerous.
I'm betting on a filly
down at the track.
A natural-born winner, that's a fact.
A hundred yards from the winning post
(c'mon, c'mon).
The horse fell down,
must a seen a ghost.
But there's a place where I still win.
That is still my sure-fire thing.
I will play the jack of spades.
You play the queen, I'll play the knave.
Oh, I'm lucky in love.
Yes, I've got the winning touch.
Lucky in love.
Suddenly, I'm dangerous.
Yeah.
I know it's a mystery.
When the numbers come up.
Mathematics is Greek to me.
But I'm lucky, I'm lucky,
I'm lucky in love.
Yeah, Las Vegas at night
at the roulette wheel.
Yeah, Monte Carlo try to cut a deal.
Atlantic City, I lose at craps.
Back in London try to win it back, yes.
And late at night I lay in bed.
With a pistol to my head, mmm.
Swear I couldn't take no more.
And in she walks right through my door.
Oh, I'm lucky in love.
Ooh, when I think I've had enough.
'Cause I'm lucky in love.
Yes, I've got the winning touch,
Suddenly, I'm dangerous.
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky.
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky.
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky.
Lucky with the ladies.
Thank God for the ladies.
Otherwise, I'd go, I'd go crazy.
How about a line of credit.
For say, ten thousand dollars?
Eighteen on the red, woah.
Put me, put me home to bed, baby.
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky.
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky.
.
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky.
Lucky with the ladies.
Yeah, I'm sitting here
with a full house.
I just can't believe
I'll lose out on this.
Okay! You want to see me?
Well I got, I got a full house.
What's that? A royal flush?
Well, ain't that a bust.
I'm broke.
How much I got?
Hey.
No.
Later, man.
Enough cards.
Good night.
March in order.
Hell.
Where?
Hey, something happened.
Mickey?
Something happened.
Hey there.
He didn't have a shot.
I heard a story.
All about you.
I heard the secrets.
Maybe they're true.
I read the papers.
I read the news.
I hear the gossip.
All about you.
They say that you're really not
so prim and prude.
Behind it all you're rather rude.
And really go for younger men.
Italian types and lots of them.
I can't believe it, baby.
Maybe it's true.
Honey, honey, honey!
Do it for the money.
I heard the stories.
On Saturday night.
Out in the back room.
After one or two lies
(one or two lines).
Your name is mentioned.
It gives me a fright (give me a fright).
.
Dishonorable mention.
Puts you in a new light.
You've been going downtown
slave romancing.
Nasty, mean and fancy dancin'.
With your nose in plastic bags.
People talk and tongues all wag.
I can't believe it, baby.
I've been a fool 'cause.
Scales have just fell from my eyes.
You can't keep up your disguise.
Tell me about your
adventures in living.
I won't write a word of libel.
Swear it on a thousand Bibles.
But, I admit, I have got my misgivings.
Maybe it's true.
Honey, honey, honey!
Do it for the money.
I read the papers.
I read the news.
I scan the columns.
For pictures of you.
You with the husband.
You with the mayor.
You with the kids.
Now who are you
kidding, who you kidding?
How can you dare?
While you're the mistress of a mafia man
Who's working for the Vatican.
And all your money crisply
ironed in off-shore banks.
Your friends are kind.
I can't believe it baby.
Maybe it's, maybe it's true.
Let it go.
Honey, honey, honey.
Do it for the money.
Yeah.
You've been a nasty girl.
Yeah, you've been bad.
You've been bad, you've been bad.
You better come over here.
And take your punishment.
Bad, bad, bad, bad.
Bad, bad, bad, bad.
Bad, bad, bad.
Bad, bad, bad, bad.
Honey, honey, honey.
Do it for the money.
Honey, honey, honey.
Do it for the money.
Honey, honey, honey.
Do it for the money.
Maybe it's true.
Honey, honey, honey.
Do it for the money.
I read the papers.
I read the news.
I scan the columns.
For pictures of you.
You with the husband.
You with the mayor.
You with the kids.
Now who are you
kidding, who you kidding?
How can you dare?
While you're the mistress of a mafia man
Who's working for the Vatican.
And all your money crisply
ironed in off-shore banks.
Your friends are kind.
I can't believe it baby.
Maybe it's true.
Maybe it's true.
Honey, honey, honey.
Do it for the money.
Yeah.
You've been a nasty girl.
Yeah, you've been bad.
You've been bad, you've been bad.
You better come over here.
And take your punishment.
Bad, bad, bad, bad.
Bad, bad, bad, bad.
Bad, bad, bad.
Bad, bad, bad, bad.
Honey, honey, honey.
Do it for the money.
Honey, honey, honey.
Do it for the money.
Honey, honey, honey.
Do it for the money.
Wow! Look here.
Oh yeah.
How much for the Englishman?
How much is this Englishman worth?
More than that.
More.
Thank you.
Number 10. Englishman.
I'm gonna fix you up.
Come. Come.
Micky!
Micky!
Micky?
Yeah, I'd like
a flight to London please.
I'm sorry sir. There are
no more flights today.
But I can book you
on a flight tomorrow.
Okay.
You know, you look
a bit like Mick Jagger.
No no, he is dead.
I missed you.
Go away.
Go away, people.
Brazil is hot and exotic.
No one told me it was going to be this
hot.
Watch where you're going.
Bridget. Please.
Can you tell the Brazilian fans what
you're doing in Brazil?
I'm making a video.
Why did you choose Brazil?
It's hot and exotic.
Look, that's enough of these questions.
Can I tell you?
Why don't you stay with me?
I've got to go back.
Tonight
let's spend together.
Okay.
Why don't you sing?
Well it's not really my kind of music.
I mean or my kind of crowd.
Oh come and sing.
Come on.
Well I'm a bit out of practice.
I mean I haven't done this for ages.
For me?
Uh can I borrow the bag?
Give us your coat.
Give me just another night,
just another night with you.
Give me just another kiss,
just before the dawn breaks through.
'Cause I'm homesick,
feel a little down and blue.
And I'm hurting,
hurting baby just like you.
I was lonely
'til I saw you at the station.
And I never thought
you'd keep our rendezvous.
Baby, it's true.
Give me just another night,
just another night with you.
Give me just another kiss,
just before the dawn breaks through.
'Cause I'm hungry,
hungry for your loving, baby.
And I'm thirsty,
thirsty for your loving, baby.
And a one-day pass to heaven is
so hard to find.
And a one-night pass
ain't really what I had in mind.
I need your sweet tenderness,
I need your soft caress.
I know the day is coming,
don't take away your loving.
Can't you see that I'm human?
Just because you've seen my face,
just because you know my name.
I'm a stranger in this town,
can't I have my ups and downs?
Can't you see that I'm human?
I get hungry, get thirsty.
I get moody, I need attention.
I need your love.
I need your love.
I want your love.
Give me just another night,
just another night with you.
'Cause I'm freezing
in this hundred-dollar hotel room.
Don't make me leave you.
No, don't you be so cruel.
Ya-ya-ya.
Ya-ya-ya. Ya-ya.
Hello.
Uh upstairs are we?
Two floors up.
Alright.
Are you having a drink or what?
No.
How about yourself?
Listen.
I've heard a whisper.
Pardon?
A whisper.
What do you mean you've heard a whisper?
About a certain performer.
What kind of performer?
The dead one?
Nah.
You want the hope and anchor, pal.
I've heard there's a rock band
rehearsing here.
There's no bands here.
We've got no room.
Upstairs.
Folk club.
Lonely.
- Lonely.
- It's traditional.
Do you know what I mean?
You'll have that drink.
Lonely.
Lonely.
God knows you're ambitious,
see you push so hard.
Second floor.
You want to get to the top
of the heap from Sunset Boulevard.
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray.
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray.
'Cause it's lonely, lonely at the top.
Mate?
Baby, it's hot!
Oh, mate. There's no shame.
What did I tell you?
I've been all over Brazil
looking for you, Mick.
Make me go be your one man.
Just thought of something.
Ignore it. It's nothing.
You're making me scared.
Oh, if you really
want the part this bad.
Yeah, go on, show them
how a star should act.
Yeah.
Lonely.
Lonely at the top.
Baby, it's hot.
Yeah, it's lonely, lonely at the top.
Baby, it's hot.
They're going to tear your soul away.
You could be a doctor,
you could be a nurse.
There's no time to rehearse.
You work as a waitress,
you clean up the bar.
But soon you'll be noticed,
you'll be a star.
You get your nomination,
your heart's beating fast.
Yes, and the winner is you!
You won the prize at last.
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray.
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray.
'Cause it's lonely, lonely at the top.
Yeah, baby, it's hot!
They're going to strip your soul away.
It's lonely, lonely.
It's lonely.
Lonely.
You get thirsty.
You know you get thirsty...
It'll make you crazy.
I was dejected.
Jumping on a Maytag.
Theater is deserted.
And the boards are bare.
You're next up for the reading.
And you're feeling scared.
Oh. Do you really want
out of part that bad?
Yeah, go on,
show them how a star should act.
Yeah it's lonely.
Lonely at the top.
Baby, it's hot.
