1:14:00
Now, you don't get rich, but you live.
1:14:03
And they treat you like a man.
1:14:07
Now, what you got to go back to?
1:14:09
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They named a place after you.
1:14:14
How much of that place do you own?
1:14:17
When the gig is over, you still
be scuffling to find the next one.
1:14:22
If there is a next one.
1:14:24
You can't earn no living...
1:14:27
...playing jazz...
1:14:29
...in the States.
1:14:31
Diz can.
1:14:33
Duke can.
1:14:35
Well, you ain't Diz
and you sure as hell ain't Duke.
1:14:39
And they ain't me.
What the hell does that matter?
1:14:42
I'm not talking about
what you do on the bandstand.
1:14:44
Everybody said you the man.
1:14:47
Well, that's great.
1:14:49
Until you mess up.
1:14:50
And you always mess up.
1:14:53
You mess up over there,
you'll be in trouble so deep...
1:14:56
...they won't let you play in the
goddamn place they named after you.
1:15:00
Now, am I lying?
1:15:03
There's no law that says
I have to mess up.
1:15:07
And I'm not running away
from my own country.
1:15:10
Your country?
1:15:11
Yeah, mine.
1:15:13
Whether they like it or not,
it's mine.
1:15:17
There'll be a Birdland
in every city one day.
1:15:19
There'll be a Birdland
in Chicago, in Detroit...
1:15:23
...a Birdland across
the street from Camarillo.
1:15:28
I'm the liberator of Paris and
you're a motherfucking afterthought!
1:15:47
Oh, shit!
1:15:52
You saying...
1:15:53
...Diz and Duke on one side...
1:15:56
...and junkies on the other.
