The Temptations1998

[During a concert break, Paul rushes off stage into the bathroom, coughs and throws up]

Shelly Berger:
That was a disaster.

Melvin Franklin:
Yeah, Shelly, we know. All right?

Shelly Berger:
The next set's in 45 minutes. There's no way he'll be ready.

Eddie Kendricks:
He'll be ready.

Shelly Berger:
Falling down drunk doesn't get better in 45 minutes, Eddie. You know what we have to do, Otis...

Eddie Kendricks:
No! If Paul's not on that stage, I'm not on that stage.

Shelly Berger:
The Temptations are known for precision, Eddie. I don't know what that was, but that wasn't it.

Eddie Kendricks:
What's it to you, Shelley? You ain't up there.

Shelly Berger:
I might as well be. Mr. Gordy holds me responsible for everything that goes on out there.

Eddie Kendricks:
I'm responsible for Paul.

Shelly Berger:
Oh, yeah? Then where were you when he was getting plastered?

Eddie Kendricks:
I said it. I'm not going on without Paul
