Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives!1989

Sal Amato:
[listening to a mystery tape with Dave that sounds like Eddie singing] It's a pretty good imitation of Eddie. Who is it?

Dave Pagent:
When we reacquired the Season in Hell album, we found another totally unrelated tape in the box... a mystery tape. This tape.

Sal Amato:
[scoffs] And you think this is Eddie?

Dave Pagent:
Don't you?

Sal Amato:
It can't be. Eddie always played with me. I knew every song he knew. I knew everything...

Dave Pagent:
[interrupting] No, this IS Eddie.

Sal Amato:
What are you trying to pull here?

Dave Pagent:
There aren't any tricks, Sal. I had the tape analyzed, and the experts agree that this is Eddie Wilson.

Sal Amato:
Screw the experts. I was his best friend, and I would know if he was doing something.

Dave Pagent:
[interrupts] No, his music was his best friend, Sal! Don't you understand? Eddie did not think you belonged in this session! He began playing with other musicians because he was leaving you behind, pal!

Sal Amato:
That's a lie! You're a goddamned liar! Eddie wouldn't...

[storms off without finishing his sentence]

Sal Amato:
Eddie Wilson was my best friend! That meant something back then! Maybe you don't understand that!
