The Purple Rain era:

What can you tell us about the overall vibe of Prince and the whole band on, the night you debuted the Purple Rain tracks at First Ave in Minneapolis? What do you remember of that day before the show and that night after this legendary performance? How nervous do you remember Wendy being before her first gig with the band that night?

We were so well rehearsed that any opening night jitters melted away after the first song was played. I think Wendy was more excited than nervous.


Tell us about your experience the day that Purple Rain premiered at Hollywood's Mann's Chinese Theater in California. What was going through your head seeing yourself on the big screen?

The whole thing was so surreal that day that the memory of it still seems like a dream. Seeing oneself on the big screen for the first time is also a dream come true. Of course, you hope that your complexion is looking OK on a close up.

Dr Fink w/Taja Sevelle


Aren't all these quotes from Wendy & Lisa's Myspace page the Girl Bros Network interview with Dr Fink???


It's an interview with Dr Fink, but I believe it was by someone else
???

(64) INT. STAIRWELL, VANITY'S MOTEL -- MORNING

She enters the LOBBY, closes the door
behind her. She turns -- another
CARNATION is on the stairwell. She's
intrigued, glances up the stairs --
there's another one, and yet another
further up. She's confused, but grabs
them, disappears up the stairs.


HALLWAY
as she comes to a halt outside her room,
picking up carnations along the way.
She opens her door, cuts inside.


(65) INT. VANIITY'S ROOM -- MORNING

She goes into the bathroom, fills the
sink with water, arranges the flowers
within. She smiles radiantly -- they
look beautiful. Suddenly something
seizes her thoughts. She opens her
bureau drawer quickly, pulls out the
yellow pages, leafs through it
hurriedly, We READ: Parking, Passport,
Paving...then Pawnbrokers. She stops,
runs her finger down the page, then
hunts quickly through her drawer. Her
eyes dance mischievously when she pulls
out her gold chain. She places it on
her bureau, hurries to her clothes rack.
Suddenly, a quick KNOCK at the door--

MAN(O.S.)
Miss V.?

She looks around the corner -- a flower
delivery MAN stands in the hallway,
holding a bouquet of roses--

VANITY
Yes...?

MAN
Delivery.

VANITY
(surprised)
Come in ...

He cuts inside, and is followed by
another MAN, holding a bouquet of
daisies--

VANITY
Hey -- wait a minute. What's
going on?


The Men leave the room--

MAN
Downstairs.

She hurries to the window, looks out--



(66) EXT. STREET -- DAY -- VANITY'S POV--

Morris and Jerome standing by the curb,
their eyes fastened excitedly on her
window, leaning against a flower truck.
We catch a glimpse of a Man bringing her
a dozen chrysanthemums--

MORRIS
Good morning, dahling.


(67) EXT. VANITY'S WINDOW AND STREET -- DAY

(INTERCUT)

VANITY
You're crazy! -- What are you
doing?


MORRIS
(excited)
Come down -- come down.

VANITY
I can't -- I've got things to
do.


MORRIS
C'mon, ten minutes. I want to
show you something-


She shakes her head--

VANITY
I'm sorry, but thanks for the
flowers. You're really crazy.


She disappears from the window. They
stand expectantly a long time. Finally
Jerome looks at Morris--

JEROME
Well...what do you think?

Morris is staring intently at the window
-- he purses his lips sensualy--

MORRIS
Chili sauce.

Just then Vanity steps outside, looks
stunning in her tight, black pants and
boots. Her eyes dance vivaciously, a
red sash is tied around her waste.
Morris gives Jerome his sexy, half-
lidded, pouty-lip look--

MORRIS
Oh, Lord...

(68) INT. CLUB (1ST AVE. ST. BAR.) -- DAY

CU--Clock. We SEE 11:25

Prince cuts through the back entrance,
walks onto the floor. Lisa and Wendy
are onstage PLAYING a SONG we
immediately recognize as the one they
had given Prince to listen to. The DRUM
RIFF is provided by the Linn Machine (a
synthesized drum unit). Wendy plays
guitar, her back to Prince. Lisa, at
the keyboards, spots him and stops--



WENDY
What's wrong?

Lisa points to Prince. Wendy
immediately rips into the guitar solo of
"G-Spot." She stops suddenly--

WENDY
Is that better? Do you like
that?


He ignores her--

PRINCE
Where is everybody?

LISA
You're late -- they left.

PRINCE
So what are you doing here?

Lisa immediately launches into the
opening bars of "Let's Get Crazy"--

LISA
(imitating Prince)
But I'm here to tell you that
there's something else -- our
music--.


The Girls bust up -- he glares at them--

PRINCE
Can't you guys get off it?
Can't you just leave it alone?


Wendy meets his glare with one of her
own...

WENDY
Yeah -- we'll get off it.

She turns, snaps off the Linn Machine
angrily, plunging the club into silence.

(69) INT. REHEARSAL HALL --DAY

The Time is JAMMING like MAD, deep in
the heart of "Sex Shooter." Brenda and
Susan move furiously to the beat, trying
their best to get it right. They are
watched by ...

...Morris, Vanity and Jerome standing
off to the side. Morris has a contented
look on his face, even though his girls
are screwing up. Vanity's eyes are wide
with excitement

MORRIS
As you can see, we need
someone with your special
qualities.

(70) INT. PRINCE'S ANTECHAMBER AND BEDROOM -- NIGHT

CU--Clock. We See: 8:15.

Prince sits, on his bed, staring at the
clock, seemingly lost in thoucht. He
gets up, rummages through his coat
pockets, pulls out Lisa's and Wendy's
tape. He snaps it into the player,
settles back.

MUSIC fills the room. He listens
intently a moment, his face placid. He
closes his eyes, tries to relax ...

Suddenly a DOOR SLAMS in the far reaches
of the house. Harsh FOOTSTEPS echo
through the upstairs hallway. Prince
remains still, his eyes closed...

Then another deathly DOOR SLAM! GLASS
dissolves in its frame and trickles to
the floor like icicles. Resentment
surges in him like a tornado. He rises
purposefully, turns the MUSIC up...

...And then his door SMASHES open and
his Mother LUNGES into the room in a
PANIC. She flings herself onto his bed
as his Father streaks in and WHACKS!
WHACKS! WHACKS! at her with a strap,
SCREAMING at her with an ominous growl
of rage--

FATHER
You ain't got no business
leaving here! All your
sneaking around -- you're just
a sinner! You're nothing but
a low life sinner!


The Mother throws herself at him
drunkenly, starts slapping, scratching
at his face--

MOTHER
Shut up! You don't care about
me! Leave me alone!

Prince claws desperately at his Father's
back--

FATHER
Don't I keep the heat on?
Isn't there food in the
refrigerator?


MOTHER
(crying)
I don't like it here. You
never talk to me! I'm always
alone
!

Prince drags his Father away--

PRINCE
Dad, please!

FATHER
(shouting)
What's the matter with this
house? Isn't it nice and warm
here?!


The Mother stands on the bed SHRIEKING--

MOTHER
You're crazy!

FATHER
Shut up!

MOTHER.
Asshole!

FATHER
Shut up!

MOTHER
(triumphantly)
Motherfucker!!

The Father lunges, drags Prince along
the floor, WHACKS! the Mother in the
face. She topples in a heap to the bed.
He's over her now, breathing fire,
flailing about savagely--

FATHER
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

PRINCE
(desperately)
Dad!

He lunges, drop KICKS his Father with
everything he's got! His Father SMASHES
backwards against the wall, slides to
his buttocks on the floor. He sits
there dully, exhausted...spent.

Prince crawls up along the side of the
bed. His Mother buries her head in the
pillow, choking back sobs--

MOTHER
I'm just trapped here...

His Father's eyes well with tears. He
leans close to her, speaks softly--

FATHER
You always got a roof
overhead...


MOTHER
You don't let me have any
fun...


His Father sighs wearily, pulls himself
to his feet. He moves to the door--

FATHER
I could make you happy. Just
believe in me...


MOTHER
You never...

FATHER
I would die for you.

He leaves the room, closes the door
behind him.

AHHHHH!!!!! PURPLE RAIN WAS SO GOODDDDD!!!!! excited

OH MY GODDDDD!!!!! excited love I LOOOOOVVVVVEEEEEDDDDD THIS MOVIE SOOOOO MUCHHHHH!!!!! THEY WERE GETTING DOWN ON THAT FIRST AVENUE STAGE OMG MORRIS DAY AND THE TIME THEY LITERALLY HAD ME ROLLIN ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING falloff falloff falloff falloff falloff HE REALLYYYYY MADE THE MOVIE AND WAS PERFECT FOR THE FILM AND HIS ACTING WASNT BAD EITHER

and then there was Prince and Appollina mushy AWWWWW THEIR RELEATIONSHIP WAS SO CUTE!!!!! love I LIKED THE WAY SHE LOOKED AT HIM IN THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE OF COURSE CAUSE PRINCE IS SEXY! love lol WERE THEY DATING AT THIS TIME??? CAUSE I THINK THEY HAD REALLY GOOD CHEMISTRY IN THE MOVIE TOGETHER ALTHOUGH HE DID DESERVE A GOOD ASS KICKING FOR THAT LAKE MINNATONKA JOKE lol

Ok now lets move on to the more serious notes. There were some things that I did not like about this movie.

I did not like the way that women were being protroyed in this film. Many of the women in this film were being beaten, trashed, cursed at, disrespected, and abused and as a woman, I found that a little bit unsettling. I mean I dont know about you but its never ok for a man to hit a woman EVER. And I believe that a man doesnt really love you if hes beating you all the time which I felt was the case for poor Apples -and also the way The Kids mother was being treated. Also, I didnt like The Kids character in the film. He was very violent and possessive of Appollina and then they go out and to have sex. So to me they were treating to say that a woman is not human and she deserves no respect and all they are good for is being play things.

But another thing I loved when I saw the very beginning, I really liked their outfits , hair and clothes they were wearing at the time. Im really into fashion and I just thought that was cool you know? I mean EVERYBODY was looking all decked out and dressed nice with makeup and hair done all crazy man I loved it. headbang

this scene is almost incestuous

PRINCE stares at the door a moment,
tears welling in his eyes. His Mother
is motionless, whimpering softly. A
scent of liquor permeates the air.

He moves toward her, reaches out
tentatively...

Suddenly she jumps up, starts pacing
franticaily--

MOTHER
It's nice here. It's a nice
house. Nothing wrong.

(a beat)
It's a good family. Believe
me, I know. Nothing wrong
here.

(a beat)
Your father is okay. He's a
good man. You could learn
somthing.



She catches a glimpse of herself in the
mirror, stops--

MOTHER
My, my! Don't you think I
have a good figure? Your
Father did.


She sits in front of the mirror, studies
her face, her eyes...her breasts--

MOTHER
I was beautiful when your Dad
met me. I was out-a-sight!


She giggles, starts applying makeup--

MOTHER
I looked just like a movie
star. The minute he saw me
singing, I knew just what he
wanted.


She fixes him with a conspiratorial
look, whispers--

MOTHER
He wanted to get into my
panties.


She makes funny, "jazzy" eyes at him,
then stops suddenly, staring. His face,
mouth, eyes...a sudden stirring in her
loins. Her lips part, she moistens them
unconsciously...

She turns from the mirror and stares at
him -- his look connects with her groin.
She rises suddenly, walks slowly toward
the bed, sits facing him--

MOTHER
You look so pretty. Just like
me, honey. You coulda been a
girl.


She outlines the mole on his cheek with
a makeup pencil, then draws one on
herself. She takes her earring off, and
puts it on his ear. They are face to
face -- identical--

MOTHER
So pretty...

She looks at him drunkenly. He tries to
hold it in, but can't. A tear, hot and
hard as a bullet flows down his cheek.
She puts her index finger in front of
his face, moves it back and forth
hypnotically. Suddenly she pulls her
hand away, stretches it to the ceiling
like an escaping bird. He swallows,
tries to smile -- she leans close --



MOTHER
(secretly)
I have to go now, see some
friends. Don't tell your
father, okay?


She gets up, leaves the room--

MOTHER
Bye, skipper...bye.

(71) EXT. PRINCE'S HOUSE -- NIGHT (LATER)

Vanity climbs over a fence, moves
through some bushes, emerges along side
Prince's house. She has an excited,
ravenous look on her face. She hurries
to the casement window, climbs into the
basement.


(72) INT. PRINCE'S BEDROObt -- NIGHT

She drops down into the basement, turns
excitedly, leaps into Prince's arms--

VANITY
I missed you! Missed you!
Missed you!


She hugs him tight, showers him with
kisses, topples them both to the bed.
Laughing, hugging, kissing -- fast and
furious. Suddenly she jumps up like a
panther, fluffs her hair wildly in the
mirror, fixes him with a wanton look.
His eyes devour her--

PRINCE
Come here. Where were you?

She moistens her lips, walks
lasciviously toward the bed, sits facing
him. She laughs suddenly, pushes him
back...and they're at each other again -
- faces two inches apart; touching,
whispering, kissing, hands searching --
shutting out the rocm, shutting out the
world...

She jumps up suddenly. She can't be
contained! She practically levitates--

VANITY
I have a big surprise for you.

She rushes to the coal chute, climbs
halfway through. Prince, puzzled,
cracks up watching her ass and legs
dangling. She drops back into the room,
holding a large PACKAGE. His eyes
widen. She struts to the bed, lays it
down majestically before him--

VANITY
(sings)
Da...da..!

PRINCE
What is it?

VANITY
Open it.

He starts peeling the tape off, careful
not to rip the paper. Vanity's bursting
with excitement though, and demolishes
it in a flash! He laughs, opens the lid
-- stares in shock--

PRINCE
Oh, no...
(happy)
Oh, no!



He pulls out a gleaming new GUITAR, and
we immediately recognize it as the one
they saw in the window. He's deliriously
happy, and speechless--




PRINCE
How'd you do it?

She shouts with delight, attacks him
again, pushing the guitar aside. Fast,
furious kisses and he responds in kind.
They're twisted in a heap on the bed.
After a moment they come up for air,
stare at each other playfully. Something
flashes across his mind--

PRINCE
Here...

Her eyes widen. He takes off his
Mother's earring, fastens it to her ear.
Eyes dancing, she jumps up, studies it
closely, in the mirror--



VANITY
I love it!

She twists around, kneels beside him,
showers him with bites and kisses.
Suddenly she stops--


VANITY
I'm going to join Morris'
group.


His face drops, shocked--

PRINCE
What?

She backs away from him, stands,
strikes a defensive stance--

VANITY
I'm going to join Morris'
group.




He LUNGES savagely before he knows it!
His hand lashes out, SMASHES her in the
face. She falls back, CRASHES into the
mirror. She slips dully to the floor,
tries desperately to brace herself on a
chair--

He's horrified--

PRINCE
I'm sorry! Oh, baby, I'm
sorry! Are you alright?


He helps her up, she turns away from him-
-

VANITY
Just...leave me alone.

His heart staggers in his chest--

PRINCE
Please...it's just...
(a beat)
I don't want you around this
at all. I just don't want you
in my life this way. You
don't have to prove anything
to me or anybody else.

(a beat)
Vanity...? Don't I make you
happy? Don.t you like the way
we are?

(another thought)
Do you know Morris? Do you
know what he's about? He
doesn't care about you.

She twists viciously--

VANITY
Jealous..?!

She rushes into the antechamber, climbs
through the coal chute, disappears into
the night.
