[seeing Col. Parker waiting on him after learning he owes him $8 million dollars]
Elvis Presley:
Oh, you blood-sucking old vampire. You bled me dry and you still want more?
Colonel Tom Parker:
I'm not an uncaring man, Mr. Presley.
Elvis Presley:
Don't you "Mr. Presley" me, you toad!
Colonel Tom Parker:
If you are so determined to get out of our contract...
Elvis Presley:
You're goddamn right I want out!
Colonel Tom Parker:
Well, I will personally loan you the money that you owe to Jamboree Attractions.
Elvis Presley:
Yeah, you'll still have your claws in me. You'll still have me working here like *a goddamn slave in a salt mine*, you phony, no-good piece of trash! I oughta shoot you in your fat, goddamn face. Who are you?
Colonel Tom Parker:
I am you. And you are me.
Elvis Presley:
Cut the horseshit! Everything I've ever known about you is a lie.
Colonel Tom Parker:
[chuckles; stands up in front of Elvis]
My past is the least of your problems, my boy. Everyone else you associate with lives from you, Mr. Presley. Even Vernon. That's right, even your own daddy has looked after himself before he's looked after you. Yes. I have lived from you too, but the difference is you have also lived from me. We have supported each other. Because we shared a dream. We are the same, you and I. We are two odd, lonely children reaching for eternity. Maybe you should fly away, my boy. Away from all of this. But if you do choose to leave... I, for one, would be very lonely. So would your father.
[Colonel leaves towards an elevator]
Colonel Tom Parker:
But I think you may be lonely, too.
[He calls the elevator down]
Colonel Tom Parker:
Oh, you see, my boy, the... truth about the Rock of Eternity...
[the elevator opens and Colonel enters]
Colonel Tom Parker:
...it is forever just beyond our reach.
