Inspired, they will come out and do amazing deeds.
For example, Howard Devoto, in The front, Pete Shelley, is behind.
They arranged this show.
They are far ahead everyone in Manchester
They have become Buzzcocks.

- Hi, Tony Have you recovered - This is not historically documented.
In other words, not much. How much Was the murder of Julius Caesar?

Sorry for being addicted to this, but that made him Mr. Tonay and I was just Tony.
What's wrong with that, Tony?
Well, there is a hierarchy there Sir.
Tonay is more important than Tony. "Hello, Mr. Tonay."
"Yes, sir, no, sir." And old Tony is plain. "Tony, I'm a friend."
I have to have some credibility.
Why don't you call him Don? How about that?

are Paul and Shaun Ryder.

30 grand for the fucking table, you... cunt!
Will you stop?! For God's sake!
There is a problem with Hacienda. It never makes money.
There are lots of people and great atmosphere...
But it's all driven by ecstasy, is not alcohol And we don't sell E at the bar.
Even though we did talk about it.
We spend money in buildings,...
staff, DJs, sound systems...
but most of the money goes to drug dealers
And guess what? They don't give the money to us.
They spend it on clothes, or cars, or restaurants, or houses,...
or daughter, or firearm.
Especially weapons.
Alright, man?
Drug dealers other businesses
They like to increase their market share Oi, your damn skewer is a little, Tell your mother I gave you this!
Only suppliers that do not tend to weaken prices,...
they just try and get rid of from the competition
Immediately violence spread to Hacienda.
All right, big friend.
- Everyone pays, even gang members. - Give him a slap.
He shot him, he shot him!
Now, this is bad in itself but is also bad for business If you know someone is carrying a difficult weapon to drive them away,...
So there was an immediate shooting inside the club...
and at the door.
If you have a lot of drugs and weapons in your club...
You will be turned off, so you have to try and control it.
I take advice from Plutarch's Caesar's life,...
where it says "Save your friends close but your enemies are closer."
The problem is often the solution in different clothes.
- Tony. - Hiya Hi.
In this case we give the drug dealer the doorman uniform...
So now we don't control the door or drugs.
- And you too, honey Come on. - Oh, come on... No, come on, buddy.
- Not your scene Come on. - I paid your damn wages, friend.
- You're in the wind, aren't you? - Just damn 'do one.
According to William Blake,...
"The road to excess leads to the Palace of Wisdom."
I'm on my way... on Jag.
Hello.
- Hiya - Hi.
- Hello Alright, kid? - Hiya
Kiss.
There are very flowers that are not spectacular...
and, uh,... wine.
- thank you - Er...
Good views.
Yes.
Beautiful.
Troll!
I used to have Troll when I was little.
- Do they still call them Trolls? - Yeah.
- I have you... cellphone. - thank you
Mother... Mummy has a telephone and I also have one, look,...
to be like...
It's like a tin with a rope.
Remem... Remember when we made a can with a rope?
- Yeah. - huh?
Talk at the end.
Have to go to Martin Hannett's...
- funeral - Who?
Martin Hannett.
Have a heart attack.
GOOD.
I should have found the time to tell you before,...
I do have children my second wife, Hilary,...
and there were times when I was with Lindsay at that time that I wanted...
and, no, I've never done it the best father in the world,...
yes, I could be there more than I have,...
and obviously I'm sorry.
But this is not a film about me.
I am not Prince Hamlet, is also not intended to be.
I am a small character in my own story
This... is a film about music.
And people who make music
Ian Curtis,...
Shaun Ryder,...
and Martin Hannett.
Take your time, gentlemen, this is very heavy This coffin will not go down so we will leave it above.
- Yes, we should leave it above. - WELL? Leave it above.
GOOD. Gentlemen, leave the straps.
Thank you very much.
Death puts things in perspective.
We are all the same in the cemetery.
Except Martin, of course, very large characters
So big, the coffin doesn't want it to fit in the grave.
I remember thinking "Martin Hannett, too big for death."
strengthen expectations resurrection...
on those whose bodies are subject to decay
We have been running empty for months
We survived by cashing in cash from the club to the record company...
and come back again.
Tony.
- How are you? - Good.
- What can I help? - No, I'm right, thank you You know, we have to... to refill the bar occasionally.
- Mm. - You might want to pass it for you...
- Mm. - for people
Um, yes, yes, yes.
We really think about it has a night of simplicity
That's very beautiful.
And I'll see you next week, then.
We have to make some money, so we have to release the record.
- The New Order wants to record an album. - Thank you for that
In Ibiza
Why... Why Ibiza?
Why isn't Ibiza?
This will be the rainy season when we get there.
Well, that's... it's bright, actually.
The new order left for Ibiza and took it two years bad luck to make an album.
Monday wants to make another album
That's fantastic news.
And the great thing is, we can do it in Manchester
- Enjoy. - You know Shaun's has some problems...
- with, uh,... - Yeah.
- Like, recent heroin. - Yeah.
I've tried making him slap methadone but now he does both.
Both barrels
So I have read about this place where there is no This is an island.
Not going to Isle of Man, right?
No, Tony. Barbados.
Listen, everything is mine, they are all in my name
This is my bag, that's my methadone. I need it, I'm a sick person.
Nathan has supplied enough methadone...
to keep Shaun away for four weeks
That's how long they were supposed to live in Barbados Oh, you fuckin 'wankers!
Sorry, friend.
This is damn 'out of your reward, you damn... wankers!
That's just bad luck...
that methadone doesn't do it Even gets to the plane.
X, just snort, bro.
Nathan!
- Nathan! - Here it is, take it from your finger Every week, we send all cash we have to pay for the studio...
and Nathan used it for medicine instead.
then they stole the furniture,...
and then they sell their clothes.
I am stranded a remote island...
Every day I keep on watching salvation... but nobody came
My only complaint is writing lyrics for my upcoming album
But then I think...
why should I?
Very good. Very good.
So, Nathan,... cassette, the music, where?
Shaun kidnapped him.
Come again?
Shaun kidnapped the tape.
Rob, Rob, what are you doing?
- It has nothing to do with me - We spent 200,000 pounds on the tape.
- Yeah, yes - At least. That is before we mix it.
And now Shaun wants you to buy it from us.
- You are brash... - Wait, wait... no, wait...
Don't! Rob... Rob!
She's a fucking boy!
Calm down. How do we buy it from him?
He wants you to meet him tomorrow Dry Bar, ten o'clock.
It's wrong for you to let it go They went there from the first place.
Why am I wrong? Well, no,... you know...
But what if he... what if he? asks, like,... 100 grand?
If he says 100 grand, he won't back down.
If we mention a figure, we will... we will be fine
- He only wants a signal. - All right, Nada, how about it?
- Okay, friend. How are you? - Jesus Christ!
- What are you doing ?! - What are you doing?! Fuck's sake!
Dirt!
Fuck Really it should be Be careful with that, Shaun.
You can... You can take it someone's eyes come out
- Do you have a new toy, friend? - I have, huh
Are you manly enough for that?
- Nice to meet you - You too, huh
Nice to meet you, though... that incident
Erm... Right, I have...
I'll make you an offer. Glad you came.
In my wallet... The total amount of my wallet,...

So far, so-so.
This is good. There is a good flow.
When is the vocal? will kick on it?
Next break
There are no fucking vocals on it, there?
- Looks like it doesn't. - Ohh...
So, that means you have to do it back to the studio
No, that damn doesn't mean we will go back to the studio

Wheel of fortune!
With... Anthony Wilson...
and... Teri Seymour.
Welcome to Wheel of Fortune.
That's it, wheels,...
that for centuries has been used as a symbol...
for life changes.
Boethius himself, in his great work Consolation of Philosophy,...
comparing history to good wheels,...
lift us up, then drop us again.
"Inconsistency is my right" said rudder.
"Lift yourself my fingers if you want...
Let's turn the wheel.
How much nonsense. We will delete it in editing.
Just go straight from" Wheel of Fortune ", cut to" turn the wheel ".
The man there playing director,...
is Tony Wilson the real one, okay? I'm the real one
There are many other real people in the movie There Paul Ryder...
Tony.
- How are you? - good

- Mani from Roses Batu. - Where is Shaun?
What's the name? Clint Boon.
That's one with a table.
Mike Pickering.
Dave Haslam.
And, uh, Vini Reilly.
Even though this scene doesn't actually reach the final cut.
I'm sure it will be on DVD.
I'm in security now, Nada. And repossession.
That's where the money is.
Do you still save it? pub gone?
Oh yeah. You must.
Hi, Tony? Listen to this

This is sophisticated food for... Londoners - This is fucking! - for London?
These are vine leaves, they are very good
- Is this what they eat down there? - Expand your horizons.
Southern food Fuckin for southern cunts!
Roger. Is it Roger? It's very nice to meet you
Tony, this is Terry.
Nice to meet you.
- Can I... see the band? - These are the people.
Roger Ames, London Records.
- How are you? WELL? - No, that's Roger.
What have you done, I think it's brilliant, and, erm...
if you don't mind me say, what's the table
And there is food on it too, If you want to help yourself.
I won't torture him if I do you, it's rabbit food
We like shaggin 'like them but we don't want to eat like them.
If music becomes a food deal, why don't we, erm, eat it?
Right. Yvette, do you want to do respect?
Terry, have you ever met Tony?
- Yeah, we said hello - Okay.
What song is it called?
Nice to meet you.

Let's hear some lyrics.
You will hear the vocal, Roger, when we hear the offer
That's how we do something at the factory Shaun, where did you go?
I don't eat rabbit rabbits food, I go to Kentucky.
- Have you come - See you again.
- We will bring you Kentucky - See you later, Nada.
Okay, friend, see you later.
Yvette? Just watching them
So, Tony, why don't we listen to for the song when they come out?
Erm...
Hey, Tony, come on.
I understand that Shaun can... a little bit.
Um, yes. He is a genius.
Yes you are right, he's a genius And I have to say, if I have a record label,...
and I have signed Shaun for that,...
then I won't sell it for a fee.
I'll make you a bid. Can I lean on this?
Uh, yeah You have to be a little... It's okay.
I will make you an offer for the entire company GOOD.
Five million.
What do you want for that?
- What do I want? - Yeah.
I want everything Rear catalog, This table, this food, these windows.
- GOOD. - You want a factory
True enough.
GOOD. It is very, very flattered, Roger,...
very flattered that you think we deserve like the number of princes,...
However, what you... What I have to explain to you is...
Factory records are actually not a company.
We are an experiment in human nature.
You work under Misunderstanding...
that we really have... an agreement...
with, uh,... with our band,...
that we have any type from the contract at all
And I'm afraid we... we don't.
Because that's the total from the document...
to do with Factory Records' dealing with their various bands.
"Artists have all their own works, the label has nothing."
"Our band has freedom."
"For screwing."
Oh yeah. Quite correct.
"freedom to make love."
I don't have to deal with you at all Right. But my handwriting will...
that I... never literally or figuratively...
sold out.
I protect myself from ever having to have...
dilemma must sell...
by not selling anything.
Tony, you are crazy That is a point of view.
Hallelujah
Most importantly, I love Manchester.
Broken warehouse, railroad arch,...
Cheap and abundant drugs.
That's what happened in the end.
Not the money, not the music, not even the gun.
That is my heroic weakness. My strengths are citizenship.
Ryan!
Tony Wilson, is that right? Hacienda closed?
Yes it is.
How does it feel now? fucked up on your face Your Majesty. Hacienda is dead, it will never grow old
Not like yourself, Tony.
I feel like a big dandelion chicken...
- What? - Hour.
How come or hour, it doesn't matter, the seed catches the wind,...
it will fly, land, root and lay eggs...
dozens, thousands of small baby dandelions,...
like the biggest fuck ever.
And now he wants it so I have to go
Come on. I have horns, Ryan.
I have horns.
- Tony! - All right, honey - Tony! - Hello friend. How are you?
Thank you for coming.

It's just... you know...
This is very good, this. This is a brilliant thing.
Yeah, Shaun brought it back from Barbados
- Very good, Shaun. - Don't mention it
So it's not complete waste time?
No, I have the right time, what I can remember. Know what I mean?
Tony, you did a good job.
Basically, you are right:
Shaun is the greatest poet since Yeats.
This is amazing. Can I have it in writing?
This is written in the muscle history and human heart.
Too bad it's not Smiths sign...
but you're right Mick Hucknall
Rubbish music and he is ginger.
Vini Reilly, by the way,...
is a late way to get back up.
You might be thinking about the biggest hit
That's a good idea.
This is good music to cool down.
Yes you are right.
I'm usually
Are you okay, there, Tony?
Yes, I just saw God.
- what did you do - I just saw God.
- Are you? - Yeah.
What is she like?
He looks like me.
How do you mean
He is my double.
It's written in the Bible, isn't it?
God created humans in His own image.
Yes, but not a specific person.
No but...
if you've talked to him, he woulda look like you But you don't do it. I did it.
And he looks like me.
