“La Bamba” Quotation
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008Bob Morales:
I’ve had one sip of beer and I have to admit it taste like piss to me. Want it?
Ritchie Valens:
Yeah.
[takes a sip then puts the beer down]
Ritchie Valens:
What’s your problem man?
Bob Morales:
Old Steve. He always said you’d be somebody and I bought it, too. If that’s the way Steve wanted it that’s the way it was going to be. Even after he told me he wasnt my dad, once I knew the full score, I understood why he treated you just a little bit better than me. I’ll just hang around for the leftovers, like a dog. That’s how much i loved him. Like a goddamn dog.
Ritchie Valens:
Bob we don’t have to talk about this right now.
Bob Morales:
sh*t! No, I want to talk about this and you’re gonna listen to me!
Ritchie Valens:
This is a crock of sh*t man!
Bob Morales:
Man he set you up to conquer the world and didn’t leave me sh*t!
Ritchie Valens:
Nobody told you to throw your life away! I’m only sorry I didn’t say something about you be drunk half the time. You did it to yourself!
Bob Morales:
Listen to you, coming in here like you own the whole goddamn country. To me you’ll always be that little asshole who followed me around in the sticks.
Ritchie Valens:
Yeah, I followed you around man, ’cause I thought you were somebody. Then!
[Last Line]
Bob Morales:
[In agony over his brother’s death] RICHIE!
Bob Morales:
Look Rosie, you’re not my wife. Quit being such a drag. What the sh*t’s eating you anyway?
Rosie Morales:
I’m pregnant.
Rosie Morales:
Well aren’t you gonna say anything?
Bob Morales:
What’s there to say? It’s not my first. Or my last.
Ritchie Valens:
Bob! Watch it! My guitar, man!
Bob Morales:
Sorry. I didnt’ know that piece of junk was so important to you.
Ritchie Valens:
I even sleep with it.
Bob Keene:
Wait Ritchie, look. I understand about friendship… but I’m being honest here. Not everyone in the world gets a shot at the “brass ring.” You’re gonna have to ask yourself what’s more important, your friends… or your music.
Ritchie Valens:
Walks back to table: My family…
