(30) INT. CLUB (1ST AVE. ST. BAR) -- NIGHT

MUSIC. The CLUB is PACKED! THE MODERN
AIRES is onstage, a hi-techno funk
group, performing their trademark, a
frenzied song entitled "Modern Aire"
The floor is dense with KIDS, all
performing the same syncopated dance.

PRINCE moves through the club slowly,
seems to be searching someone out. His
face is drawn and haggard, his spirits
strained. He cuts past the BAR, barely
acknowledges Jill, or the other
WAITRESSES by her side, KIM and KATY.
Jill looks concerned--



KIM
Honey, you still chasing after
that fool?

Kim is 21 years and gorgeous, with dark
eyes, a smooth sculpted face, and taut
shapely legs. She is street-educated
and doesn't need encouraging to speak
her mind. Katy is also in her-early
20's, a tall, alluring Oriental, with an
attractive, intelligent face--

JILL
I'm doing what I'm doing.
It's my business.

KATY
He doesn't even look at you.
That's the last thing you want
from a man.

JILL
You just don't know him like I
do.

KIM
Honey... Look, Listen, and
then Feel. If you do them in
any other order, you're headed
for trouble.

Matt and Bobby (members of Prince's
group) stroll up--

BOBBY
Hey, Jill -- where's our
drinks?

JILL
They're coming -- just wait.

Matt stares hungrily at her breasts--

JILL
What you want isn't on the
menu.

BOBBY
Jill, in ten years they'll be
on the table.

She swats him with her order pad --
Bobby ducks, taunts her--

BOBBY
C'mon, c'mon ...

She goes to swing, Matt moves in,
squeezes her breasts--


MATT
(horn sound)
BooPoo!!

KIM
Get out of here, you jerks!

MATT
Sweetheart ... do you have a
real hot place where I could
stick my nose?

KIM
Sure -- try a microwave.


The Guys bust up, head for their tables-
-

KATY
Those guys are deep.

KIM
Yeah -- deeply retarded.

PURPLE RAIN
PRINCE AND THE REVOLUTION
Warner Bros.

The spirit of Jimi Hendrix must surely smile down on Prince Rogers Nelson. Like Hendrix, Prince seems to have tapped into some extraterrestrial musical dimension where black and white styles are merely different aspects of the same funky thing. Prince's rock & roll is as authentic and compelling as his soul and his extremism is endearing in a era of play-it-safe record production and formulaic hit mongering. "Purple Rain" may not yield another smash like last year's "Little Red Corvette," but it's so loaded with life and invention and pure rock & roll thunder that such commercial considerations become moot. When Prince sings "Baby I'm a Star," it's a simple statement of fact.

The Hendrix connection is made overt here with the screaming guitar coda that ends "Let's Go Crazy," with the manic burst that opens "When Doves Cry" and in the title song, a space ballad that recalls "Angel" with its soaring guitar leads and a very Hendrixian lyrical tinge ("It's time we all reach out for something new -- that means you, too"). There are also constant reminders of Sly Stone in the ferocious bass lines and the hot, dance-conscious mix. But like Jimi and Sly, Prince writes his own rules. Some of his effects are singularly striking - note that eerie, atonal synthesizer touches that creep in at the end of "The Beautiful Ones" and the otherworldly backward-vocal montage in the frankly salacious "Darling Nikki" -- and his vocals continue to be among the most adventurous and accomplished on the current scene. Prince also does wonderful things with string-section sounds, and his band -- if it's not actually him playing all the parts -- burns throughout.

Anyone partial to great creators should own this record. Like Jimi and Sly, Prince is an original; but apart from that, he's like no one else.

I've never seen this picture either. I'm blown out of my mind. Where on earth is the rest of the footage?

I was blown away when I saw this beautiful still from PR, too. Imagine what that scene must be like uncut...

SEANMAN said:

Yeah the xxx scene. Actually a scene like that in a movie today could be released.

Starting on 27th December 1983, [Prince] relocates for four months to Los Angeles for some additional shootings to the "Purple Rain" motion picture and extensive recording sessions for his own "Purple Rain" album, and a new project called Apollonia 6 at Hollywood Sunset Sound. In January 1984 he also finished the work for THE TIME's third album by recording Ice cream castles and My drawers. Tricky, that appeared as the 7inch b-side of Ice cream castles, was recorded with [Morris Day] shortly thereafter in February 1984.

My Drawers

Baby, when we go out, I got clout
Cuz I'm your number one body rocker
Fellas? (Yeah?) She'll make U scream, your insides shout
But let me tell U what it's all about

CHORUS:
She's mine, all mine
I'm her number one body rocker all of the time
She's mine, all mine
U better find a brand new bag cuz these is my drawers

Slap me!
My drawers
Baby, mmm

Baby, I'm so ashamed cuz I'm all aflame
I mean U've got my body hot
Fellas? (Yeah?) She's so fast, U'd never last
U couldn't deal with the funk she's got

CHORUS

Oh baby, this is your number one
Yes, I know U're young
But we could have so much fun
Jesse, if U could play guitar
I'll warm up the car
And me and this girl can see the sun rise

Hey, hey, hey, hey! Whose drawers? (Your drawers) {x2}

U're mine, all mine
I'm your number one body rocker all of the time

Whose drawers? (Your drawers) {x4}
(Whose drawers?) My drawers, huh
Whose drawers? (Your drawers)

She's mine, all mine
I'm her number one body rocker all of the time

Whose drawers? (Your drawers)

She's mine (she's mine), all mine (all mine)
U better find a brand new bag cuz these is my drawers
Take it home

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

I always counted these pictures as 1999 era but they are actually Purple Rain related as he was already in the music/film prep for the Purple Rain era

On 16th May 1983 [Prince] appears at the 3rd annual Minnesota Music Awards at the Charlton Celebrity Room in Bloomington and was finally honored with six awards. He thanked Minneapolis for its support and ended the night with a 10-minute jam of "D.M.S.R." on borrowed equipment with a mix of members of his own band, [Morris Day], [Jesse Johnson] and Vanity 6. Later this night they performed a jam session at First Avenue in Minneapolis with [Jesse Johnson] on drums and Sue Ann Carwell singing the lead vocals.

(31) INT./EXT. CLUB -- MONEY WINDOW -- NIGHT

Vanity stands in line waiting to get in.
She wears a short, black dress and red
heels, carries a black and red
clutchbag. Her hair is swept back and
wind-blown, her eyes dark and dancing.
She looks wickedly wonderful and knows
it.

CHICK stands by the window, arms folded,
as massive as a Sequoia. He regards her
suspiciously--

VANITY
(sweetly)
I'm paying ... see?
(to cashier, gruff)
Keep the change.

Chick advances on her -- her eyes widen
with fear--

CHICK
The manager wants to see you.

VANITY
Really..? Oh, great...like to
see him too.

She breaths a sigh of relief.


JEROME watches as Chick escorts Vanity
to the upper level. He stays short
distance behind.


(32) INT. CLUB UPPER LEVEL -- NIGHT

as Vanity and Chick come to a halt in
the middle of the f Ioor--

CHICK
He'll be right with you.

Chick walks away. Jerome makes a move
toward her, but pulls himself up short -
- BILLY SPARKS has approached her--

BILLY SPARKS
Hi, I'm Billy Sparks, I manage
this place.

Vanity turns around -- her eyes widen
with surprise--

He's 38 years old, 5'3" tall and weighs
about 180 pounds. He's dressed in a
baby-blue running suit.and white tennis
shoes that come to a point. A dark-
skinned, smooth-faced black man, he's
wearing small, white sunglasses and a
base-ball cap perched on his head. Fred
Flintstone in Harlem. A hip, fast-
talking jive motherfucker who uses
profanity like a light saber. Chubby,
cuddly, cherubic Billy Sparks. He'd
sell his mother if he thought he could
make a buck.

They size one another up in. about three
seconds--

VANITY
Hi -- I really like your club.

BILLY
Really...

VANITY
What time is it?

BILLY
Nine, sweets.

VANITY
Oh, that's a really nice
watch. Very pretty.

Billy lights a cigarette, offers her
one, she accepts--


VANITY
You look like a guy I used to
go out with -- he was a lot
older, but I like older men.

BILLY
Really, what a coincidence.

VANITY
I just came off a Broadway
play. My grandmother got
sick.

BILLY
Does she live here?

VANITY
No, in New York ...
(catches herself)
But, huh, I have a sister
here, lives in Saint ... huh
...

BILLY
...Paul.

VANITY
Amazing.

BILLY
Ye-es.
(smiles)
What do you want to do? You
don't want to be a waitress do
you?

VANITY
No ... no...Actually I was
thinking more in the way of
the stage.

BILLY
Of course... how about dinner?

VANITY
Theatre?

BILLY
Dinner, then the theatre, my
sweets.

VANITY
Oh, huh...

Jerome appears--


JEROME
Hi ya, Billy.

BILLY
Good evening, Jerome.

Vanity sees her escape--

VANITY
Jerome -- I was looking all
over for you!

They BOTH look at her surprised--

BILLY
You know each other?

VANITY
Of course.

Jerome goes along with it--

JEROME
Yes, we've met. I have
something to show you.

VANITY
Great. See you later, Billy.

She walks away with Jerome, arm in arm--

VANITY
You rescued me.

JEROME
(smiles)
Ye-es.

(33) INT. DRESSING ROOM -- NIGHT

Prince and his band (Mark, Bobby, Matt,
Lisa) sit backstage, waiting to go on.
An air of tension permeates the room.
Lisa sits in the corner and fidgets,
casts sidelong looks to Prince. He sits
apart from the group, deathly silent,
locked in thouqht.

Wendy walks in and shares a look with
Lisa. She goes up to Prince, her voice
filled with nervousness--

[img:$uid]http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/21303846/sn/1999672980/name/n_a[/img:$uid]

[img:$uid]http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/21303846/sn/1069067221/name/n_a[/img:$uid]

WENDY
Hi ya, Prince. I heard
through the grapevine you had
a new tune written by two
great girls. By chance did
you hear it?

He stares at her -- if looks could kill
Wendy would be dead--

LISA
I knew it -- he didn't listen
to it. He probably dropped it
under his bike and rolled over
it.

Prince grunts, turns away -- Wendy is
amazed--

[img:$uid]http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/21303846/sn/1543971321/name/n_a[/img:$uid]

WENDY
Wow! Okay...you think about
this. I'm going to be real
honest with you. You're
really being full of shit.

[img:$uid]http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/21303846/sn/1945412380/name/2547_1092739166463_1466062974_263830_4195640_n.jpg[/img:$uid]

LISA
Forget about it, Wendy. Let's
get out of here--

But Wendy, agitated, silences her with a
fierce gesture--

[img:$uid]http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/21303846/sn/1548909741/name/n_a[/img:$uid]

WENDY
(to Prince)
Every time we give you a song,
you say you're going to use
it, but you never do. You
always think that we're doing
something behind your back.
You're just being paranoid as
usual.

LISA
Wendy...

WENDY
(upset)
Shut up, Lisa, please!
(to Prince)
You should know by now that we
wouldn't hurt vou. We're not
out to put a dark cloud over
your head. It's just to make
you feel good, Prince --
that's what it's all about.
You've been this way with us
before, remember?

[img:$uid]http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/21303846/sn/625095192/name/puppetcup.jpg[/img:$uid]

PRINCE
(maliciously)
The nominees for the best
actress are--

LISA
-- Fuck it, Wendy -- let's
break!

Wendy is shaking, tears spring to her
eyes--

WENDY
Do you know you can really,
really hurt people? Doesn't
that mean anything to you?
Doesn't that make you feel
like shit?

[img:$uid]http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/21303846/sn/250284624/name/n_a[/img:$uid]

LISA
C'mon ...

WENDY
I'm tired of this ... I'm
really tired...

They leave the room, Wendy SLAMS the
door behind her. Prince casts a look to
Bobby, Mark, Matt--

PRINCE
You tired, too?

MATT
God got Wendy's periods
reversed. About every 28
days, she starts acting nice.
Lasts about a weekend.

Thud. The joke hangs suspended like a
ball and chain. Bobby gets up, the
others follow him to the door--

BOBBY
What difference does it make,
Prince. We're still a group,
right?

They cut out the door.

[img:$uid]http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/21303846/sn/1974523077/name/n_a[/img:$uid]

35) INT/BACKSTAGE ENTRANCE/CLUB -- NIGHT

Morris stands by the door surrounded by
several delicious BABES. One of them,
wearing a tight, red dress, looks
especially enticing. Morris leans in
closer -- her tasty breasts strain
against the spandex material--

MORRIS
Honey -- don't you ever try
and breastfeed no baby now.

GIRL
Why not?

MORRIS
Never mind ...

Jerome appears--

JEROME
What.

MORRIS
What?

JEROME
Right. What.

MORRIS
What??

JEROME
You got it.

Be snaps his head to the side -- Morris
looks, sees Vanity sitting at a table.
His eyes dance mischievously--

MORRIS
Ye-es
(to Girl)
What time is it?

GIRL
(coyly)
Tea time.

MORRIS
So, right.

(36) INT. DRESSING ROOM -- NIGHT

as Prince sits by himself in front of
the mirror, staring at a cassette on the
counter. We recognize it immediately as
the tape Jill gave him earlier,
containing Lisa's and Wendy's music. He
picks it up, snaps it into a ghetto
blaster. MUSIC, without lyrics, fills
the room. He adjusts the dials, sits
back and listens a moment. Suddenly the
door opens--

STAGEHAND
Prince, five minutes.

Be snaps off the music, drops the
cassette into his pocket, cuts out the
room.

(37) INT. BACKSTAGE -- NIGHT

He comes to the stage-area. His
Band.Members are standing about
anxiously, watching the final moments of
The Modern Aires' performance. He cuts
behind the curtain, peers at the
crowd...

...his eyes fall on Vanity -- his face
brightens instantly. Just then Jerome
and Morris approach her. Prince shakes
his head knowingly, offers a wry smile,
then joins his band.

Chili Sauce

Ah, good evening Mr. Day, 2 4 dinner?

Yes, give us one of those little sexy tables in the back

Oh, I'm sorry sir, those are all taken

Jerome...

I think maybe we can arrange it Mr. Day

Thank U so much
(Oh Morris, was that necessary?)
Jerome...
(OK, OK, I'm sorry)

Right this way, sir

U know, this is an exciting establishment U have here

What I wouldn't give 4 a broken bottle

I can't hear U, what'd U say?

I said... I said, "Yes, we're remodeling"

Mm hmm

Cocktails before dinner?

Yes, 2 pina coladas
(Make mine a virgin)

OK, will U be having a virgin as well?

Yes! 4 dessert! Ha ha ha ha ha!

Sir, I'm afraid I don't get it

Say, do U know how 2 do "The Walk?"

Why certainly, everyone can do "The Walk"

Well honey, why don't U just walk your ass 2 the other side of the room?

Fuck U 2

Ah my dear, it's rough at the top
Jerome, ehem, get your pad and pencil
I think it's gonna be kinda right
If my judge of character's correct
It's gonna be by the letter 2night
Now stop me when I get 2 17

Excuse me, baby
I bet U didn't know I had a piece of this restaurant, did U?
But it looks like I'm gonna have 2 buy the whole thing and fire that man
May I taste that?
Excuse me
That's kinda weak
Here, try mine
U know...

Good God!

They say that saliva is an aphrodisiac

Excuse me

U look so lovely 2night

Why thank U

Probably even better under exotic red lights
I wish U could see my home, it's, it's so exciting
In my bedroom, I have a brass waterbed

Really?

Mm hmm
It's just surrounded by plants and lights and shit
And all kinds of little erotic artifacts
We could have breakfast in bed

Oh!

I... I have an Italian cook
Jerome Sa... Sagagagracci or something like that
It's funny, your eyes when U stare at me like that
It causes my... my stomach 2 quiver
Oh Lord!

Do U like diamonds?

Mm hmm!

Yeah?

Yeah!

I know it's rather masculine, but try this one on

Wow!

My God darling, it fits
U must have strong hands
But they're so soft
Like the oils in my morning bath
(Somebody help me)

Darling?

Yes

I'm not usually so forward, but...
Would U like 2 make love 2 me?
I... I could make it so nice

Do U know what is meant by the words, uhh..
I hate 2 use them, they're... they're so harsh, American
U know what I mean?
And yet on the other hand, they're exciting words
The words, "Chili Sauce"
Oh Lord!

U know, I haven't made love in so long
But with U, I know it would be just like riding a bike
I'd remember everything I've ever learned
Baby, if the Kid can't make U come, nobody can
(Morris)
Yeah
(17)
Oh, um
What's it gonna be, baby?

Chili Sauce

Oh Lord!

(38) INT. VAN1TY'S TABLE AND CLUB -- NIGHT

She sits demurely. Morris' eyes are
wide and shining -- her beauty up close
astonishes him--

JEROME
Vanity, I'd like you to meet
Morris E. Day.

MORRIS
Hold it now -- just leave the
'E' alone.

JEROME
(clears throat)
Vanity...this is Morris Day


MORRIS
The pleasure's all mine.

she offers her hand -- he takes it
decorously--

JEROME
If you'd excuse me.

Morris signals him -- whispers into his
ear--

MORRIS
Too sexy ...
(a beat)
Have a waitress bring.a
bottle of their best
champacne.

He seats himself, fastens her with a
sexy, half-lidded look--

MORRIS
Your lips would make a
lollipop too happy.

VANITY
You think so, huh?

MORRIS
Ye-es.

Kim appears with a bottle of champacne
in ice--

KIM
Who's paying for this Morris?

MORRIS
I think you know that.
(a beat)
Jerome!

Jerome appears, opens the bottle with a
flair, performs a classy taste test.
Morris pulls out some cash, pays him,
who snatches the money, leaves--

MORRIS
Huh, keep the change--

He whispers to Jerome--

MORRIS
Get my change, will ya?

Jerome leaves, Morris purses his lips--



MORRIS
Oh, Lord...either somebody put
something in my drink, or you
are the finest (motherfucker)
I've seen in ages.

VANITY
Excuse me, what did you say?

MORRIS
Huh...you look nice tonight.

He leans in, speaks with a sexy voice--

MORRIS
It's rare that I out my cards
on the table when it comes to
meeting younq ladies, but ...
I'm going to make you love me.

VANITY
Is that a fact?

He folds his legs dramatically, his
Stacy Adams reflecting the light--

MORRIS
Just as sure as my Stacy Adams
are shiny.

Just then--
