[Jake is escorted by two Guards down a jail hall.]
Prisoner: Hey!!
Guard One: Well, this is it.
[He opens the door and all three of them enter the room]
7474505B
Guard Two: What wing?
Guard One: Maximum wing, block 9.
Guard Two: Standard release?
Guard One: Parole, 3 out of 5, good behaviour.
Guard Two: Gimme a minute...
[He gets Jake's belongings.]
One Timex digital watch, broken. One unused prophylactic. One soiled.
[Outside view of Elwood pulling up to the jail entrance.]
One black suit jacket. One pair of black suit pants. One hat, black. One pair of
sunglasses. Twenty three dollars and seven cents. Sign here.
[Jake signs an "X" on the form.]
[Opening Credits start rolling.]
Jake: What's this?
Elwood: What?
Jake: This car. This stupid car. Where's the Cadillac? The Caddy? Where's
the Caddy?
Elwood: The what?
Jake: The Cadillac we used to have. The Blues Mobile!
Elwood: I traded it.
Jake: You traded the Blues Mobile for this?
Elwood: No. For a microphone.
Jake: A microphone? Okay I can see that. Well, what the hell is this?
Elwood: This was a bargain. I picked it up at the Mount Prospect City
Police auction last spring. It's an old Mount Prospect Police Car. They were
practically giving them away.
Jake: Well, thank you pal, the day I get out of prison, my own brother
picks me up in a police car.
[Fog horn and warning bell sounds.]
Elwood: You don't like it?
Jake: No, I don't like it.
[Elwood drives over a raising draw bridge.]
Jake: Cars got a lot of pick up.
Elwood: It's got a cop motor, a four hundred and forty cubic inch plant,
it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks, it was a model made before
catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. Whaddya say? Is it the
new Blues Mobile or what?
Jake: Fix the cigarette lighter.
Jake: What are we doing here?
Elwood: You promised you'd visit the penguin the day you got out.
Jake: Yeah? So, I lied to her.
Elwood: You can't lie to a nun. We gotta go in and visit the penguin.
Jake: No fucking way!
[Jake and Elwood go in and climb the stairs until they reach a door. Just
before Elwood knocks on the door, a voice is heard from inside.]
Nun: Who is it?
Elwood: Jake and Elwood.
Nun: Come in.
[They go in. The door shuts behind them.]
Nun: Hello boys, nice to see you. Please, have a seat.
[Jack and Elwood sit on seats at back of room.]
No no boys. Come over here in front of me. I want to see your faces.
[They shuffle up a bit closer.]
The county took a tax assessment of this property last month. They want five
thousand dollars.
Elwood: Doesn't the church have to pay that?
Nun: They would if they were interested in keeping the place, but they
aren't. The Arch Bishop wants to sell this building outright to the board of
Education.
Elwood: What's gonna happen to you?
Nun: I'll be sent to the missions.
Jake: Forget it, five grand; no problem, we'll have it for you in the
morning. Let's go Elwood.
Nun: NO NO! I will not take your filthy stolen money.
Jake: Well then, I guess you're really up shit creek.
[The nun hits Jake on the hand with a ruler.]
Nun: I beg your pardon what did you say?
Jake: I offered to help you. You refused to take our money, then I said
``I guess you're really up shit creek''.
[She hit's him again.]
Elwood: Christ Jake take it easy, man
Nun: Elwood!
[She starts hitting them both as the language deteriorates.]
Elwood: Ah you fat penguin!
[The ruler breaks and the Nun reaches for a sword. Jake and Elwood go
tumbling down the stairs.]
Nun: You are such a disappointing pair. I prayed so hard for you. It
saddens and hurts me that the two young men whom I raised to believe in the ten
commandments have returned to me as two thieves, with filthy mouths and bad
attitudes. Get out! And don't come back until you've redeemed yourselves.
[She disappears back into her office and the door mysteriously closes.]
Curtis: Boys, you gotta learn not to talk to nuns that way. Jake! Elwood!
Jake & Elwood: Curtis!
Curtis: Hey, buy you boys a drink?
Curtis: Boys, things are bad. They're gonna sell this
place to the board of education and I'll be out on the street. That money's
gotta be in the Cook County Assessors office within 11 days.
Jake: They wouldn't turn you out would they?
Curtis: Shit. What's one more old nigger to the board of education?
Elwood: Curtis, you and the penguin are the the only family we got. And
you're the only one that was ever good to us. Singing Elmore James tunes and
blowing the harp for us down here.
Curtis: Well, the sister was right. You boys could use a little churching
up. Slide on down to the Triple Rock and catch Reverend Cleophis. You boys
listen to what he's got to say.
Jake: Curtis, I don't wanna listen to no jive ass preacher talking to me
about heaven and hell.
Curtis: Jake, you get wise! You get to church!
MC: And now, this weeks sermon is from our beloved the
Reverend Cleophis James.
Rev: And now people. And now people. When I woke up this morning, I heard
a disturbing sound. I said, when I woke up this morning I heard a disturbing
sound. What I heard was the jingle-jangle of a thousand lost souls. And I'm
talking about the souls of all the men and women, departed from this life. Wait
a minute, the Lord says the souls of us here on earth is, secret of divine life,
they'll not find. Because it's too late... too late yeah, too late for them to
ever see again, the light they once chose not to follow, don't be lost when the
time comes. For the day of the Lord cometh, out of deep in the night.
Amen. Amen.
Elwood: Jake, you alright?
[Ray of sunlight shines through the church onto Jake.]
Jake: The band.. (louder) The band..
Rev: Do you see the light?
Jake: (louder) The band!
Rev: Do you see the light?
Elwood: What light?
Rev: Have you seen the light?
Jake: Yes, Yes! Jesus H. god damned bastard Christ, I have seen the
light!
[Jake starts dancing with the others.]
Jake: The band Elwood. The band!
Elwood: The band? ... The band. The band? The band!
Rev: Praise God.
Elwood: And God bless the United States of America.
Jake: We'll put the band back together, do a few gigs, we get some bread.
Bang! Five thousand bucks.
Elwood: Yeah, well, getting the band back together might not be that
easy.
Jake: What're you talking about?
Elwood: They split, they all took straight jobs.
Jake: Yeah so you know where they are. You said you were gonna keep in
touch with them
Elwood: I got a coupla leads, a few phone numbers, but I mean, how many
of them visited or even wrote you huh?
Jake: They're not the kinda guys who write letters. You were outside, I
was inside, you were s'posed to keep in touch with the band. I kept asking you
if we were gonna play again.
Elwood: Well, what was I gonna do? Take away you're only hope? Take away
the very thing that kept you going in there? I took the liberty of bullshitting
you, okay?
Jake: You lied to me.
Elwood: It wasn't lies, it was just bullshit.
[Jake and Elwood are in the car, and go through a yellow traffic light.
Police lights flash in the rear view mirror.]
Elwood: Shit!
Jake: What?
Elwood: Rollers.
Jake: No?
Elwood: Yeah.
Jake: Shit.
[Elwood pulls over as directed and an officer approaches the car.]
Elwood: What? What did I do?
Officer Daniel: You failed to stop at a red signal.
Elwood: The light was yellow sir.
Officer Daniel: May I see your license please?
[He takes the license back to the squad car.]
Jake: Goddamnit!
Elwood: Man I haven't been pulled over in six months. I bet those cops
have got SCMODS.
Jake: SCMODS?
Elwood: State, County, Municipal, Offender, Data, System.
[The two officers return to Jake and Elwood's car.]
Officer Daniel: Elwood, we show your license currently under suspension.
Step out of the car please.
[Elwood starts the car and drives off. The officers run back to their car and
follow.]
Jake: First you trade the Caddilac for a microphone, then you lie to me
about the band, now you're gonna put me right back in the joint.
Elwood: They're not gonna catch us. We're on a mission from God.
Jake: Elwood!
Officer Mount:(into CB) We are in high speed pursuit northbound on
Cortlen Avenue. Black and white 1974 Dodge sedan with Illinios plates. Request
assistance.
[Elwood turns into a parking lot. Officers pursue.]
Elwood: It would be alright if we could just get back on the expressway.
Jake: This don't look like no expressway to me!
Elwood: Don't yell at me.
Jake: What the hell do you want me to do motorhead?
Elwood: Well, try not to be so negative all the time. Why don't you offer
some constructive criticism?
Jake: You got us into this parking lot pal, so you get us out.
Elwood: You want outta this parking lot? Okay.
Shop Lady: Will there be anything else?
Customer: Yes, do you have a Miss Piggy?
[Car speeds through toystore and continues on through the rest of the mall.
Two Squad cars follows, the original and a backup.]
Jake: Hanson Burgers.
Elwood: Yeah. Lots of space in this mall.
Jake: Disco dancing hair cuts.
Elwood: Yeah.
Elwood: Baby clothes.
Jake: This place has got everything.
Elwood: New Oldsmobiles are in early this year.
Elwood: Pier One Imports.
Backup Officers: Oh Shit!
[Backup squad car lands on it's roof and stops.]
Backup Officer (John Landis): They broke my watch!
[First squad car crashes too.]
[Jake and Elwood escape through a shop window to outside.]
Officer Mount: I'm gonna catch that sucker, if it's the last thing I ever
do!
Elwood: Nice place, huh?
[Mystery Women blows up the front doors with a rocket launcher.]
[Jake and Elwood recover and go inside.]
Elwood: Hey Sam... Hey Lloyd, anybody call for me on the phone?
Lloyd: No, no calls. Some guy left this card. Cop. Said he'd be back.
Elwood: This here's my brother Jake. He just got outta the joint. He's
gonna be staying with me for a few weeks.
Lloyd: Oh OK..
Old man: Did you get me my cheese whiz, Boy?
[Elwood tosses a can of Cheeze Whiz to the old man.]
Elwood: Well, it ain't much, but it's home.
Jake: How often does the train go by?
Elwood: So often you won't even notice it.
Jake: How you gonna get the band back together, Mr Hot-Roder? The cops
got your name, you address.
Elwood: No, they don't got my address. I falsified my renewal. Put down
1060 West Addison.
Jake: 1060 West Addison? That's Wrigley Field.
Elwood: I gotta hit the sack.
[notices Jake asleep in his bed.]
Hey you sleaze, my bed!
[Elwood sleeps in a chair.]
Mercer: This, gentlemen, is the elegant abode of one
Elwood Blues.
Officer Mount: Thanks for your help Mr Mercer.
Mercer: You know, I kinda liked the Wrigley Field bit.
Officer Mount: Yeah, real cute.
[They enter the building and go to Elwoods door.]
Mercer: Stand back.
[As Mr. Mercer kicks the door in, the Mystery Woman flicks the switch on her
remote control, and the whole building blows up. Jake and Elwood get up and
brush themselves off.]
Elwood: It's almost nine o'clock. We gotta go to work.
Jake: Mrs. Toronto?
Mrs. Torantino: Torantino.
Jake: Ma'am, do you have a Thomas Malone or Louis Marini living here?
Mrs. Torantino: Not any more they moved out a long time ago. I don't take
in borders, not for a long time.
Elwood: May we come in ma'am?
Mrs. Torantino: Please.
[They enter.]
Jake: Did they leave a forwarding address? A phone number?
Mrs. Torantino: No.
Elwood: Did they live quietly? What were there personal habits?
Mrs. Torantino: They were good boys, but they made a lot of racket at
night. Are you the police?
Elwood: No ma'am. We're musicians.
[They return to the car and prepare to leave. Mrs Torantino chases them.]
Mrs. Torantino: Mr. Man! Mr. Man! Mr. Man!
Jake: Yes, ma'am?
Mrs. Torantino: They left this card, maybe it help you?
[Murph and the Magic Tones are playing to an almost empty room.]
Murph: Thank you. Your marvellous. Your marvellous. Thank you. I'm Murph
and these are the Magic tones. Steve 'the colonel' Cropper, Donald Duck Dunn,
Willie `Too Big' Hall and Tom `Bones' Malone. We'll be back with the Magic Tones
for the Armada Room's two hour disco swing party after this short break. Til
then, don't you go changing.
[They all meet Jake and Elwood at one of the tables.]
Willie: So Jake, you're out, you're free, you're rehabilitated, what's
next what's happening, whatcha gonna do? You got the money you owe us
motherfucker?
Elwood: Look let's just get something straight here. The reason he got
locked in the slammer in the first place was for sticking up a gas station to
cover you guys.
Donald: You're kidding!
Elwood: He pulled that job to pay for the bands room service tab from
that Chiwanous gig in Pols city.
Steve: He did?
Jake: That's right, so I don't wanna hear anymore of this small change
shit.
Elwood: We're putting the band back together.
Jake: You were the backbone. The nerve centre of a great rhythm and blues
band. You can, make that live, breath and jump again. Murph and the Magic tones?
Look at you in those candy ass monkey suits. And I thought I had it bad in
Joliet.
Willie: At least we got a change in clothes sucker, you're wearing the
same shit you had on three years ago.
Donald: Jake ain't lying though. We had a band powerful enough to turn
goat piss into gasoline.
Tom: But we'll never get that fab sound again, not without some more
horns. We'll never get Mr. Fabulous.
Jake: Where is he?
Murph: Forget it. Mr Fabulous is the top Matre 'd at the Chez Paul. He's
pulling down six bills a week.
Steve: Yeah and Matt Murphy up and got himself married.
Elwood: Where is Matt guitar Murphy?
Tom: He opened a soul food restaurant with his old lady on Maxwell
Street, and he took Blue Lou with him.
Willie: You'll never get Matt and Mr Fabulous outta them high paying
gigs.
Jake: Oh yeah? Well me and the Lord. We got an understanding.
Elwood: We're on a mission from God.
Mr Fabulous: [Talking on the phone]
Mainly French cuisine. No sir, Mayor Daly no longer dines here. He's dead sir.
Private dining rooms are available.
[He sees Jake walk in with Elwood]
Oh no! I thought it was supposed to be five years. Didn't you get five years?
[Back into the phone]
Ah no sir, not you. And your name sir? Ritsolo for eight at 11:30. Thank you.
Jake: Mr Fabulous, how marvellous it is to see you. You're looking
younger than ever.
Mr Fabulous: Wait, you guys can't come in here.
Jake: Nonsense my dear fellow, my brother and I have come to dine to
celebrate my early release from the service of the state.
Mr Fabulous: Wait, let's talk outside. Let's have a cup of coffee
outside.
Jake: Why heavens no! We seek a full meal and all the compliments of the
house. Come Elwood let us adjourn ourselves to the nearest table and overlook
this establishments board of fare.
[They enter the dining room as the phone rings.]
Mr Fabulous: [Into the phone.]
Good evening, Chez Paul.
[Now talking to Jake and Elwood.]
Wait! Hey!
[Into the phone again.]
Ah, sir, would you mind calling back in about five minutes please?
[Jake and Elwood seat themselves at a table. At reception two customers have
missed out on their table.]
Mr. Fabulous: [To the couple who missed out on the table.]
I'm sure we'll have a table for you in just a few minutes.
[Jake and Elwood are ignored until Jake whistles very loudly.]
Mr Fabulous: [To customers.]
Excuse me, won't you?
Jake: Give us a bottle of your finest champagne, five shrimp cocktails,
and some bread for my brother.
Waiter (Pee Wee Herman): We have a Don Perignon '71 at $120
Jake: That'll be fine pal.
Mr Fabulous: Come on, seriously you guys, the food here is really
expensive. The soup is fucking ten dollars. Come on let's go outside. I'll buy
you a cup of coffee.
Jake: We're putting the band back together.
Mr Fabulous: Forget it. No way.
Elwood: We're on a mission from god.
[Jake and Elwood's food arrives]
Mr Fabulous: Hold it, Hold it. What's this?
Customer: Waiter! Sir! Please, waiter!
Mr Fabulous: Yes sir. How are your salads?
Customer:The salads are fine. It's just that, we'd.. we'd like to move to
another table, away from those two gentlemen.
Mr Fabulous: Why? Have they been disturbing you?
Customer: No. It's just that.. well frankly, they're offensive. Smelling.
I mean they smell bad.
Mr Fabulous: Excuse me sir, I'll see if I can locate another table for
you.
Customer: Thank you.
[Jake and Elwoods wine arrives. The wine waiter attempts to serve it]
Waiter: Wrong glass, sir.
[Jake moves over to the Customers table]
Jake: How much for the little girl? The women? How much for the women?
Customer: What?
Jake: Your women. I want to buy your women. The little girl, your
daughters. Sell them to me. Sell me your children!
Customer: Matre d'! Matre d'!
Mr Fabulous: [To Jake]
Cut it out. Cut it out. The owners are gonna ask me to call the cops.
Jake: You wouldn't do that to me would ya man?
Elwood: He just got outta Jolliet, he's on parole. You can't call the
cops on him man.
Jake: We're putting the band back together.
Mr Fabulous: I said no. Absolutely not.
Jake: [To the customer]
Yo! How much for your wife?
[To Mr. Fabulous]
We're putting the band back together. We need ya man, we need your horn.
Mr Fabulous: I can't, I really can't.
Elwood: We got everybody but Matt guitar Murphy and Blue Lou and we're
getting them next.
Mr Fabulous: No way.
Jake: If you say no, Elwood and I will come here for breakfast, lunch and
dinner every day of the week.
Mr Fabulous: Okay, okay, I'll play. You got me.
[Jake and Elwood leaves. Mr. Fabulous sits down at their table.]
Customer: Sir? Sir. Sir. Sir! Sir?
HeadNazi:White Men! White women! The swastika is
calling you. The Jew is using the black as muscle against you. And you are left
there helpless. Well, what are you going to do about it, whitey? Just sit there?

Jake:[To a patrolling officer] Hey, what's going on?
Officer: Ah, those bums won there court case so their marching today.
Jake: What bums?
Officer: The fucking Nazi party.
Elwood: Illinios Nazis!
Jake: I hate Illinios Nazis.
Head Nazi: Heil Hitler!
Nazis: Heil Hitler!
[Elwood drives the car up to the bridge and towards the Nazis]
Head Nazi: Tenhuit!
[Elwood speeds up. The Nazis are forced to jump into the water below]
Head Nazi: Perpen Fuhrer?
Perpen Fuhrer: Yes Sir!
Head Nazi: Perpen Fuhrer get that cars licence plate number. We're gonna
kill that son of a bitch.
[Jake and Elwood enter and sit at the counter.]
Aretha:Help you boys?
Elwood:You got any white bread?
Aretha:Yes.
Elwood: I'll have some toasted white bread please.
Aretha: You want butter or jam on that toast honey?
Elwood: No ma'am, dry.
Jake: You got any fried chicken?
Aretha: Best damn chicken in the state.
Jake: Bring me four fried chickens and a Coke.
Aretha: You want chicken wings or chicken legs?
Jake: Four fried chickens and a Coke.
Elwood: And some dry white toast please.
Aretha: You all want anything to drink with that?
Elwood: No ma'am.
Jake: A Coke.
Aretha: Be up in a minute.
[She goes back to the kitchen]
Aretha: We got two honkies out there dressed like Hacedic Diamond
merchants.
Matt: Say what?
Aretha: They look like they're from the CIA or something.
Matt: What they want to eat?
Aretha: The tall one wants white bread, toast, dry with nothing on it.
Matt: Elwood!
Aretha: And the other one wants four whole fried chickens and a Coke.
Matt: And Jake! Shit, the Blues Brothers!
[Matt goes out into the cafe]
Matt: Hi Jake.
Jake: Matt. How you doing?
Matt: Hi Elwood. How ya doing? How was Joliet.
Jake: Oh it was bad. Thursday night they'd serve a wicked pepper steak.
Matt: Can't be as bad as the cabbage role at the Terra-Phelevo Penn.
Elwood: Or that oatmeal at the Cook County slammer.
Matt: Well they're all pretty bad.
Jake: Matt, me and Elwood, we're putting the band back together. We need
you and Blue Lou.
Matt: Oh man. Don't talk that way round here. My old lady, she'll kill
me.
Elwood: Ma'am you gotta understand that this is a lot bigger than any
domestic problems you might be experiencing.
Aretha: Matt, what the hell is he talking about?
Matt: Don't get roused sugar.
Aretha: Don't you "Don't get roused sugar" me! Now you not
going back on the road no more, and you ain't playing no more two bit sleazy
dives. You're living with me now, and you're not gonna go sliding around with
you old white hoodlum friends.
Matt: But babe, this is Jake and Elwood. The Blues Brothers.
Aretha: The Blues Brothers! Shit, they still owe you money, fool!
Jake: Ma'am, would it make you feel any better if you knew that what we
asking Matt here to do was a holy thing?
Elwood: You see, we're on a mission from God.
Aretha: Don't you blaspheme in here! Don't you blaspheme in here! Now
this is my man and my restaurant and you two are gonna just walk right out that
door, without ya dry white toast, without ya four fried chickens and without
Matt guitar Murphy.
Matt: Now listen to me. I love you, but I'm the man and your the woman.
And I'll make the decisions concerning my life.
Aretha: You better think about what you're saying. You better think about
the consequences of your actions.
Matt: Oh shut up woman!
[Matt undoes his apron and drops it on the floor as he leaves]
Matt: Let's boogie.
[Blue Lou looks at them leaving.]
Aretha:[To Blue Lou]
Well, go ahead dammit.
[He leaves.]
Shit!
[No dialogue. "Mystery Woman" is reading the instruction booklet
for the flame thrower she uses later in the movie.]
[The band looks around the shop. Elwood finds an electric toaster and pulls a
slice of white bread out of his jacket.]
Ray: Pardon me, but we do have a strict policy concerning the handling of
the instruments. An employee of Ray's Music Exchange must be present. Now, may I
help you?
Jake: Ray, it's me. Joliet Jake. I once rented some column speakers from
you for my band, The Blues Brothers.
Murph: Hey Ray it's me Murph of Murph and the Magic tones. Remember me? I
bought three Fender amps.
Ray: Oh we sell a lot of amplifiers.
Murph: Not like these they were beautiful. Upholstered with thick red
shag.
Ray: Oh right, right. I remember now. As a matter of fact I buy 'em all
back for $350 a piece.
Murph: 350? I paid $800 each not six months ago.
Ray: Oh well you know depreciation man.
Jake: Ray we're here to buy stuff. We need pianos, amps, mikes the works.
[A boy attempts to steal a guitar in the background - Ray pulls out a pistol
and fires into the wall above the boys head]
Ray: Now go on! Git! It breaks my heart, a boy that young goin' bad.
[Murph notices an electric piano]
Murph: Tell me a little about this electric piano, Ray.
Ray: Ah you have a good eye my man. That's the best in the city of
Chicago.
Jake: How much?
Ray: Two thousand bucks and it's yours. You can take it home with you. As
a matter of fact I'll through the black keys in for free.
Jake: Two thousand for this chunk o'shit? Come on Ray.
Murph: I mean really Ray, it's used, there's no action left in this
keyboard.
[Ray comes out from behind the counter and sits at the piano]
Ray: Excuse me, I don't think there's anything wrong with the action on
this piano.
Jake: Ok man, we'll take these axes.
Ray: Naturally, and as usual, I gotta take an I-owe-you.
[They pull into a roadside resturaunt, and everyone gets out of the cars]
Jake: You guys go on inside get yourselves a bite. I've gotta make a
phone call.
Mr Fabulous: Now Jake, does this phone call concern our first gig?
Jake: Have I ever lied to you?
[Jake and Elwood walk away, towards a pay phone.]
Elwood: What are we gonna do man? We got no gig.
Jake: How much money you got?
Elwood: I got a quarter.
Jake: It's enough for a phone call, come on.
[Jake and Elwood enter the phone booth, together]
Jake: What are you doing Elwood?
Elwood: You said we were gonna make a call.
Jake: I said I was gonna make a call.
Elwood: Who you gonna call Jake?
Jake: Remember Maurie Sline?
Elwood: Sline? The booking agent? What about him?
Jake: Well, he got us some good showcases in the old days. He got us the
Morgan Park, he got us the Tic Tock, I got him laid, he owes me.
Elwood: Give it a shot.
["Mystery Woman" drives up and attacks phone booth with flame
thrower. There's a gas tank next to the booth labeled "No Smoking
Propane". The explosion launches the phone booth into the air, with Jake
and Elwood in it, and then smashes to the ground. Car drives off. Coins are
scattered all over the ground from the phone]
Elwood: Hey Jake, there's gotta be at least seven dollars worth of change
here.
[Head Nazi is at desk. 2nd Nazi knocks on door]
Head Nazi: Yeah?
2nd Nazi: Sir.
Head Nazi: What'd you find out?
2nd Nazi: Okay. I called a friend at the Motor Vehicle department. That
licence plate is like a rash all over the computer. The car belongs to a known
traffic menace.
Head Nazi: What's his name?
2nd Nazi: His name is Elwood Blues. He's got a record a mile long. And,
he's a catholic.
Head Nazi: Did you get his address?
2nd Nazi: Of course. 1060 West Addison.
Head Nazi: Let's go.
[They drive out to the address, 1060 West Addison. It turns out to be Wrigley
Field, home of the Cubs Baseball Team.].
Head Nazi:[To group]
Anybody with that kind of record is gonna make a mistake. I want all party
members in the tri state district to monitor the city, county and state police
on there CB. Mr. Blues is gonna fuck up. And when he does, he'd better pray the
police get to him before we do.
[The band is driving along a dark, quiet road.]
Mr Fabulous: Alright man, we've been in this car for three hours now.
Where the hell is this place?
Jake: I told you it would take a little while to get there.
Murph: What's the name of the place?
Jake: Ah.. the name of the place..
[Jake sees a neon sign ahead with the name of a bar on it.]
Jake: is ah... Bob's Country Bunker. Here we are.
Elwood: Bob's Country Bunker?
[They arrive.]
Mr Fabulous: Jake, the sign says "Tonight Only The Good Ole'
Boys"
Jake: Blues Brothers. It should read ``Tonight only the Blues Brothers
triumphant return.'' Must be some kind of mistake. You guys unload the stuff.
Elwood, come with me.
[Jake and Elwood head for the bar.]
Claire: Well now what can I get you boys? Are ya thirsty, ya hungry, or
you just driving through? Maybe you'd like a beer or something a little harder?
Hey, you know we happen to make the states best pepper steak.
Jake: No thank you ma'am. We may be sucking back a few beers a little
later on. We'll be here all night. You see, we're the band.
Claire: You are? Oh, gee, that's nice.
[to Bob]

[The lights go on and Lou notices the stage is screened off with chicken
wire.]
Lou: Chicken wire?
[Later on, a good size crowd has gathered and rednecks are talking and
drinking. Elwood has a song list with requests on it.]
Elwood: Man, I don't think we know any of the songs on this list.
Jake: Oh this list doesn't mean anything, they're just requests. We're a
regular set.
Murph: Gimme some lovin. 1, 2...
Jake: 1, 2, 3, 4.
Elwood: Good evening ladies and gentlemen we're sure glad to be here in
Cocomo tonight. We're the Good Ole' Blues Brothers, boys, band from Chicago. I
sure hope you like our show. I'm Elwood, this here's my brother Jake.
[The crowd start yelling at the band and hurling bottles at the stage like
crazy. There's a shower of glass smashing against the chicken wire.]
Bob:[In a back room.]
That ain't no Hank Williams song.
[He comes out and switches the stage lights off.]
Murph: I think you hit the lights!
Willie: Maybe they blew a fuse?
Lou: I don't think so man. Those lights are off on purpose.
Elwood: Okay. We gotta figure out something these people like and fast.
Murph: Hey I got it. Remember the theme from Rawhide?
Elwood: The old favourite. Rowdy Yates.
Murph: What key?
Donald: A. Blues country key.
Elwood: Rawhide in A.
[The crowd is passified, the lights come back on. They finish the song.]
Elwood: Theme from the TV show Rawhide. Thankyou.
Jake: Now we'd like to do a favourite of the horn section. We hope it's
one of yours.
Jake: Well folks it's time to call it a night. Do what you feel and keep
both feet on the wheel. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here. So

Jake: [To the band.]
Let's get the hell outta here.
[They start packing up, Bob approaches Jake and Elwood.]
Bob: Shit I'm gonna tell you boys that's some of the best goddamn music

Elwood: Well uh.. sorry we couldn't remember the Wreck of the Old 97.
Bob: Oh, well, hell you guys can learn it next time well ya come back.
Jake: Bob, about our money for tonight.
Bob: That's right. Uh $200, and you boys drank $300 worth of beer.
Elwood: Uh, well, like, when we first come in the bar lady never charged

Bob: Uh, hu hu, Uh-Uh.
[Bob shakes his head.]
Jake: Well, I'll just go and take up a collection from the boys.
Bob: Well, I tell ya, I sure would appreciate it.
[Jake and Elwood head out to the cars. The band are talking about the gig.]
Willie: I say this trip is no where man. I say we gotta quit.
Murph: What? Quit? Well I wish you guys would make up your mind.
Otherwise I've gotta call Mr. Ronzinni at the Holiday in and get our old gig
back.
Steve: Back at the Armada room?
Jake: [Approaches the band.]
Listen. They want us to pay for the beer we drank, so you guys better split. The
next gig is gonna be dynamite, huge, you'll see.
Willie: I say we give the Blues Brothers just one more chance.
Donald: Why not? If the shit fits, wear it.
[Getting into he car]
Scoot over goddammit.
[The band leaves]
Elwood: The boys look a little upset. Hey man, don't worry, we got a

[An RV pulls into the parking lot.]

Jake: Excuse me gentlemen are you the Good Ole Boys?
Leader: Yeah, that's right, I'm Tucker McElroy, lead singer, driver of
the Winnebago. Listen I'd like to talk to you son but were running very late.
Jake:
[Jake holds up a crunched cigarette packet very quickly as though it were an
ID bage of some kind]
My name is Jacob Stein, the American Federation of Musicians Union local 200.
I've been sent here to see if you gentlemen are carrying your permits.
Leader: Our what?
Jake: Your Union cards. May I see your cards please?
Leader: S'pose we ain't got no union cards and we go in there and start
playing anyway. Now what you gonna do about that? You gonna stop us? Stein?
You're gonna look pretty funny trying to eat corn on the cob with no fucking
teeth.
Jake: Listen, let me talk to Bob, the owner, see if we can put your band
on contract waivers for tonight. I don't want you to move from this spot. Just
let me handle this.
Elwood: We'll uh.. we'll talk to Bob.
[Jake and Elwood slowly retreat as Bob comes out to the parking lot]
Jake: Get in the car and start her up.
[Elwood goes to the car, Jake goes over to Bob]
Bob: You know you boys owe me a lot over money for that beer you drank
tonight goddammit.
Jake: Bob, we loved playing here tonight. My brother's writing out an
American Express travellers cheque to cover the extensive bar tab.
Bob: Well, I sure would appreciate it.
Jake: I'd better check up, see how he's doing, see I have to sign it too.
I usually sit in the car and write it out on the glove compartment lid. Okay?
[Jake walks towards the car and feels his jacket pockets.]
Jake: Need a Pencil!
[Jake gets in the car, Elwood starts it and they drive off. The Good Ole boys
rush over to Bob]
Leader: Were them guys from the union?
Bob: Union? What the hell union. Those boys skipped outta here owing me a
lot of money for beer.
[notices their costumes]
What the hell are you guys all dressed up for?
Leader: We're the Good Ole Boys!
Bob: You're the Good Ole Boys!
[Jake and Elwood are in the blues mobile - Bob and Good Ole Boys in the

Elwood: Our lady of blessed acceleration don't fail me now.
[Behind a billboard two troopers, Daniel and Mount, have set up a road watch.
Jake and Elwood drive by. (This is the "See You Next Wednesday"
billboard)]
Trooper Daniel: I don't believe it. It's that shit-box dodge again.
Trooper Mount: Bastards are ours now.
[Squad car pulls out with sirens blaring and lights flashing, but crashes
into the pursuant Winnebago. The RV does a roll and knocks over a fire hydrant.
They all climb out of wreckage. The troopers pull gun on the Good Ole Boys]
Trooper Daniel: Boys, you're in big trouble.

Jake: Maurie, you owe me. We'll play anywhere, anytime for anybody.

Elwood: I know about that stuff, I've been exploited all my life.
Maurie: Uh Forget it, there's no way with you guys forget about it.
Jake: Say uh, hows Mrs. Sline? I might have some information she'd like
to know.
Maurie: You blackmailing me Jake?
Jake: If you want to put it that way. Maurie we need this gig!
Elwood: We're on a mission from God!
Jake: You get us the hall Maurie and I guarantee we'll pack 'em in from

Jake: Elwood. We're gone man.
[The "Mystery Woman" loosens off a round of machine gun fire. They
hit the ground]
Elwood: Who is that girl?
Woman: Well Jake. You like just fine down there, slithering in the mud
like vermin.
Jake:[To Elwood]
No problem.
Woman: You're not gonna get away from me this time.
[she fires again... still missing them]
[In the ballroom, Mr Mercer hears the gunshots]
Mr Mercer:[To officers]
Check that out. Let's go. Come on.
[Back in the sewer]
Jake:[To Woman]
It's good to see you sweetheart.
Woman: You contemptible pig. I remained celebate for you. I stood at the
back of a cathedral, waiting in celibacy for you, with 300 friends and relatives
in attendance. My uncle hired the best Romanian caterer in the state. To obtain
the seven limousines for the wedding party my father used up his last favours
with Mad Pete Trollo. So for me, for my mother, my grandmother, my father, my
uncle and for the common good, I must now kill you and your brother.
[Jake gets up and slowly walks towards her.]
Jake:[Falling to his knees before her]
Oh please don't kill us. Please, please don't kill us. You know I love ya baby,
I wouldn't leave ya. It wasn't my fault.
Women: You miserable slug. You think you can talk you're way out of this?
You betrayed me.
Jake: No, I didn't. Honest. I ran outta gas. I had a flat tire. I didn't
have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An
old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole my car. There was an
earthquake, a terrible flood, locust's. It wasn't my fault!! I swear to God!!
Woman: Oh Jake, Jake, honey.
[Jake embraces her in a passionate kiss, then drops her in the mud.]
Jake:[To Elwood]
Let's go.
Elwood:[To the Woman]
Take it easy.
[They run down the passage to the car. She follows in the distance.]
Elwood: It's a 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a
pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it!
[The Woman runs out of the duct and fires at the moving car. The policemen
above hear the shots and also start shooting at the car.]
[Jake and Elwood are in front in their car. About 50 or so squad cars and the
Good Ole Boys Winnebago is following.]
[In the Winnebago.]
Bob: Shit man! Can't this damm thing go any faster than this?
Tucker: Ah, Bob, I think I got a little problem.
Bob: Goddamn boy!
[They accelerate past all cars including Jake and Elwoods.]
Tucker: Shit!
All: Argh!!!
[The van drives off the highway, through a shed and into the water.]
Tucker:[To Bob]
Don't you say a fucking word.
[View of Blonde waiting at motel]
[The sun starts to rise.]
[Cut to Police Station - Chicago.]
Radioer: All units we have a signal ten seven niner, officers are in

[Jake and Elwood's Car.]
Elwood: Hey, Jake, Jake, I gotta pull over.
[Head Squad Car.]
Trooper Mount: South bound on state highway 4 7.
[Elwood drives down an embankment, squad cars follow and all crash. Head
Squad car recovers and steers out of control, goes flying up the embankment
which acts as a ramp...the police car flies through the air and lands in the
side of a truck.]
Mr Mercer: Hi. Wanna hand me the mike? Thanks a lot.
[Into the mike]
Hi, this is car, ah...what number are we?
Officer Mount: Five, Five.
Mr Mercer:[Into the mike]

[Back at the Chicago Police Station.]

[hundreds of officers merge on the city]
Use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers has been
approved.
[Jake and Elwood make it to Chicago.]
Elwood: Well this is definitely Lower Wacker drive. If my estimations are
correct, we should be very close to the honourable Richard J. Daly plaza.
Jake: That's were they got that Picasso.
Elwood: Yep.
[They drive on, being chased by Chicago squad cars. Elwood swerves to miss a
car, the squad cars don't and all crash into one another - (Listen for the
``They broke my watch!'')]
Officer: Son of a bitch.
[starts firing, other officers follow suit.]
[Jake and Elwood escape.]
[Two Nazi cars hide in an alley way. Jake and Elwood drive past.]
Head Nazi: There they are.
[The Nazi cars pursues Jake and Elwood.]
[A loud clunk is heard in Jake and Elwood's car.]
Elwood: Oh no!
Jake: What the fuck was that?
Elwood: The motor. Thrown a rod.
Jake: Is that serious?
Elwood: Yep.
[They drive up a bridge through the smoke coming from their motor. One of the
Nazi cars stop at the head of the bridge.]
Head Nazi: Faster!
[At the last minute they see the end of an unfinished bridge. Elwood stops
the car and then it backflips over the chasing Nazi car.]
Nazi: Holy shit!
[The Nazi car continues to accelerate and launches off the bridge]
Nazi: I've always loved you.
[They crash into the street making a big hole. Jake and Elwood's car jumps
the hole, the pursuing Nazi car falls into it.]
Jake:[Points to a building]
There it is.
[Elwood parks the car just outside the door. They get out and the car falls
to bits. Elwood stares at in disbelief]
Jake:[Hitting Elwood]
Come on!
[They enter the building, close the doors and pile furniture in front of
them. They then run up to an information counter]
Elwood:[To an officer at the information desk]
Sir. Where's the Office of the Assessor of Cook County?
Officer: Down the hall, turn right, take the elevator to 1102.
Elwood: Thank you sir.
[Jake and Elwood race off. Outside thousands of people are trying to get in.
Jake and Elwood enter the elevator. A squad of people eventually get into the
building and race up to the information desk.]
Squad leader: Excuse me, did you see two guys come in here, black suits
black hats one carrying a briefcase?
Officer: Yeah, I just sent them down there.
Squad Leader: Thank you.
[The squad races towards the elevator and then up the stairs]
[Jake and Elwood make it to the right floor.]
Elwood: Hold the door.
[Jake steps in front of the door. Elwood destroys the elevators controls].
Elwood: Let's go.
[They make their way towards the officer. Stacking furniture in front of each
door. They arrive at the office to a sign ``Back in Five minutes''. They wait
until someone in the office approaches them.]
Assessor (Steven Spielberg): May I help you?
Jake: This is where they pay the taxes, right?
Assessor: Right.
Elwood: This money is for the years assessment on the St. Helen of the
Blessed Shroud orphanage in Calumed city, Illinios.
Jake: 5000 bucks, it's all there pal.
[The squad approaches the right floor but the door is blocked.]
Officer: Stand back... fire!
[They open fire on the door.]
Assessor: And here is your receipt.
[The squad catches up with Jake and Elwood and cuff them]
[The whole band is on a stage in the jail]
[Closing Credits roll]
THE END
