It's a bigger crime than any of those deals that this scene was cut from the movie.
The problem is it had to be because of the previous scene. He was talking to this woman on the phone when Liz walked in and called him a "fucking asshole!" and that led to the confession scene where he admitted what he did. This scene is in between those two and it breaks up the momentum. If he hadn't been on the phone with her they could've kept it in.
@@Theomite Anyway they could have inserted the scene even if not immediately after the phone call. That would not have been big deal and you keep awaiting the scene to come next once you the phone call scene has passed. That's a shame.
The movie is great but I still can't understand why they omitted that powerful moment
Yeah I know what where are they thinking That's a great scene
@@NStuffGuitars its awesome!!@
If it's any consolation, they recreated this scene in the Hulu limited series where Zoe Kravitz does essentially the same thing, except her colleague takes "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust" LP and leaves a $20 bill.
Beverly D'Angelo is so great in this scene (and she looks stunning too).
Shes fat now
I was thinking the same, she's very beautiful, how can the husband cheat on her?!! why? she's hot, she's interesting, if that was my home with that record collection and that nice wife I wouldn't want to spend a second away from there! I would be so happy!.
@@familyengineering5591 yes ... but she was a smokeshow in this scene
@@pelgervampireduck Here's a life lesson. It's not universal, but it's generally true: No matter how beautiful a woman is, there's a guy out there that is sick of her sh!t.
She's all of that but she's not 19. Plain and simple.
@@pelgervampireduck
My accountant was getting divorced from her husband for similar reasons. In the divorce papers he told her to put the house up for sale, they'd split the equity, and she could live in it until it sold. She listed it for 10 times what it was worth and is still living in it 20 years later.
Reminds me, as a divorced man, of the joke - "You know why divorce costs so much? BECAUSE IT'S WORTH IT!!!"
Same thing happened to a friend of mine...He finally got a good lawyer, and she was forced to sell.....Maybe he didn't really want her to move for some reason...
Sounds like you don't want this person in charge of your accounting.
I saw another incident where a guy who had built his own home and got married wound up losing that home. He had to turn it over on a specific date after moving out of his own house... he burned it to the ground. Because it was owned and there was no insurance claim filed fraudulently... it was not considered arson and she got the property without the home.
@@ModeratelyAmusedor maybe you do
Not only did she land a horrible blow to her husband's collection, but the subtext of the scene suggests that she has effectively frozen his assets, leaving him broke and stranded in Jamaica.
with a 19 year old
@@dogdriver70 Who will find out he's broke.
NEVER MARRY AN AMERICAN WOMAN AND NEVER TRUST HER WITH YOUR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND ALL FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS.
He still made out in the deal!!!
Hell hath no immaturity😊 like a 👠 woman's insecurities😊
The best deleted scene ever
I Know That Would Have Tore A Hole Into My Heart .......Damn Woman!
On a Saturday 16 yrs ago my wife & pushed our daughter in her stroller around the neighborhood & we come upon a yard sale. The woman was selling all of her husbands expensive woodworking equipment and motorcycle. I was going to purchase the professional lathe & tablesaw. When she wasn’t looking her neighbor stopped me and said that her husband is a Navy officer out on deployment, and that she found out he had been cheating on her. Apparently the girl is pregnant and she came by the house to inform the wife since he has stopped communicating with her. I didn’t know the guy, but he did live two blocks from me, so I just let somebody else have them.
Rob you’re a fool for not giving her the 50 and possibly for not trying to get the anger bang out of her!
This is great. I especially liked the look on Cusak's face when he sees the collection, and as he examines the records.
And her face when she admits she knows what they're worth
Clark W Grizwold must have really pissed Beverly off for her to do that to his record collection
Lol
Back in those days, I hit thrift stores religiously and found crazy vinyl deals all the time. A buck apiece and mint. 1992-2012 was THE time to collect used vinyl. I just wish I had gotten more
Agreed. I got a big chunk of my collection between 1995 and 2012 at yard sales and the tail end of annual charity bazaars era for a buck or less. One yard sale had nine Beatles LP's at $1 each because they bought them on CD! (picked them all up of course)!
I bought mine in the early 2000s and only quit because I had more than I really could listen to. If I had known what I know now I would have kept buying in a big way.
@@aldiakaroofus - I did something similar last summer, but they were $2 a piece instead of $1...oh woe is me! 🙂
I once found 2 nice copies of the Beatles' White album back to back for a buck each
So what happened in 2013?
Speaking as a collector (not records, but other vintage pieces), the amount of times this situation has happened is staggering.
I paid $100 dollars for 300+ albums at a garage sale, back in the days when you could pay with a check. Two days later I got a call from a college student in meltdown after he discovered what his mother had done. Unfortunately I've always been cursed with a conscience, so I was the nice guy.
I had an older woman invest in my tshirt company. $10,000+ ....and sex. Same thing was going on.
I purchased a guy's games/board games/RPG collection for $500 and have resold it for over $7000. He just wanted to dump it when he was moving in with his new wife.
Few years back an employer of a friend bought out a warehouse belonging to a used bookstore. He wanted everything gone and let us look and take what we wanted. No kidding there had to have been at least 50k books there, maybe more, just palettes and palettes of them that stretched a small football field size in length. We only had 3 hours of daylight to dig since the Wh wasn’t electrified, he was sending in a crew to throw it all away in a few days. It still kills me to see it all go to the garbage, if I had the money and space to have gotten it all I could have made a living reselling. My friend alone found a 1800s Indian territory law book he flipped for $300 on eBay.
and have you ever thought, that you couldn't do that to another collector hrhrhr
Beverly d' Angelo was never in enough things .
Loved her in Hair ❤
Absolutely. This scene was dynamite
You seen her in heart like a wheel? And in the movie about Patsy Cline?
1:18 Every collector can relate to moments like this which are pure ecstasy. When you're already a self-proclaimed vinyl junkie/music aficionado like John Cusack is in real life, you don't even have to act, you just react.
Yup. That sort of thing happens every now and again and you always have the same reaction.
I both love and despise finding that record store which has everything. The shock and awe and discovering yet another grail, and the horror of realizing you can’t afford the cost, or shelf space.
I like how after she says “their my husband’s” rob pulls his hand back like he feels bad for just touching them.
What a phenomenal scene. They need to re-release this movie in 4k UHD with this scene fully restored.
Fun fact, Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys is on display on the wall, singled out as one of the collector's proudest gets. Years later, John Cusack would go on to play Brian Wilson, Beach Boy and musical maestro of Pet sounds!
Ooh nice catch! Can anyone tell what the other ones displayed next to it at 0:27 are? Pet Sounds jumps out but I don't know the other four.
@@ProfJasonC Chocolate Watch Band - no way out, 13 Floor Elevators - s/t, Index - s/t, and Moby Grape - s/t. all are from 1967 i think haha
@@nutmegriot209 It's assumed all issues are originals, but the Index cover is from a 1984 reissue. For this scene, only the nerdiest of collectors is going to notice the issues with the less valuable editions (like the French Sex Pistols single ("Sex Pistols - 640 106"), instead of the more desirable "A&M Records - AMS 7284").
@@nutmegriot209those thirteenth floor elevators albums are valuable. Being from Houston I run into them from time to time. I've seen clean copies go up to 1000 dollars. Pet sounds isn't that valuable, they pressed a bunch when it came out.
This is a old urban legend story , i have heard it used from everything from art collection to a classic muscle car.
Happens really. I've seen it in my family.
A porsche 911 is the most common I hear.
I first heard this story from the TV show Real People in the very late Seventies/early Eighties. Woman list a Porsche for 25 dollars. No one calls as they most likely think it is a misprint. After second week of being in the papers a guy calls, finds out that is 25 dollars for a running Porsche. Goes to see it, and it is in excellent condition. Asks woman why and she replied that her husband ran off with another woman, but they broke up when he was out of money, stranding him in Mexico. He calls his wife and tells her to sell the Porsche and send him the money. So she does.
It does happen.
Last year I found a Pecko Duck 1st Press NM- ZOSO for 66 cents inside a double live Dave Mason LP.
Rob could've taken the collection, kept what he wanted, sold the rest, paid back Laura, started a record label/recording studio, and produced/released the Kinky Wizard's AND Marie De Salle's next album. Boom. All problems solved. Sometimes the universe serves up answers on a silver platter and we're too self-involved to notice.
Those singles are only worth $50 each. Not even 50k.
@@sammencia7945 Dude wtf are you talking about.
Rob has a code. The Universe doesn't follow the rules but he does. It's why he's so fucked up all the time.😂
@@robbabcock_ His code includes being loyal to a cheating asshole he's never even met just because he is a collector. That shit's dumb and kinda toxic. And he proposed to pay the right amount, but with the guy getting 50 bucks anyway..? I mean, how is that more respectful towards his fellow collector? He doesn't get the money either way!
Also, i know a fuckton of record collectors and none of them would have refused this offer.
@@sammencia7945 The Sex Pistols one alone is worth 15k
I love the crinkle sounds as he’s going through the records
Beverly D'Angelo is great. I wish they had included this in the movie, and I already love this movie.
As a DJ in the 80s I have my share of milk crates filled with vinyl, most of it old power metal and hard rock. This movie conveys the tactile experience of being a wax junky while also driving home however subtly, the sheer cumbersomeness of owning that much physical media. Whenever Cusack's character is monologuing he is in his element, surrounded by walls of albums and singles. For some it is a comforting respite, an escape, and for others, a prison born from acetate...
Funny you brought up the cumbersome nature. I started a small vinyl collection for
myself when I was in high school in the late 90s at the nadir. I ended up stopping as I moved from dorm to dorm and then share house to share house. I restarted my collecting three years ago once settled into a family home. After quickly filling a Kallax, in my mind I started asking questions about narrowing my collection to a handful of genres, American country, Britpop, Live Performances of Jazz.
I should have realized this was an issue for me because about 15 years ago, I reduced my CD collection from Jewel boxes to Discsox sleeves!
Have you ever seen the movie Scratch? There's a scene in it where DJ Shadow talks about crate-digging that is so honest and humble and basically makes it feel like spending time the back of old record stores and crates in thrift shop and swap meets, is basically like a holy Quest... so if its like being in a prison it must also be located in a prison chapel! .... this message brought to you by a music obsessive raised in the cd era but came of age in the Napster era. I have all the music at my Spotify fingertips and it sometimes feels like I cant listen to anything for longer than a few minutes because I effing know I can listen to anything.... an entirely different kind of existential musical problem!
I could....take those off your hands for ya😏
I also have a record collection. Probably not the best move, but I went pure Cds. Why? At the timeI knew two guys with album collections, one with 10k albums, the other with 40k. They both complained about the weight, the size and the moving of them. I said that is not for me. My collection now just pretty much sits on the wall and takes up one entire section of the living room.
It adds nothing to the story, but the inverted haggling and the way she's symbolically seducing him is very clever
Symbolically?
@@chadmichael03 She's not literally seducing Rob, but it uses the visual language of 'older woman cheating on her husband with a younger man' to show that she's doing something unfaithful and illicit that gives her pleasure, and to build (ironic) sexual tension: the secret meeting in the middle of the day, the flattering and sensual way she's dressed, the provocative way she acts and the way she's shot to show off her figure, how she checks him out, her nervous glances out the window, the way she's in control of the conversation... the viewer is supposed to 'get' this like the set-up to a joke, the punchline being that Rob is totally unaware, because the film is about how Rob isn't great with women.
I think it reveals his character in a big way. He refuses to take advantage of the situation. In some ways in this film he is shown to have been a jerk. This gives us solid reassurance of his sense of right and wrong.
50 years old and Bev is still throwing heat
They shouldn't have cut this scene, it was good and showed really what Rob did and was good at.
It’s a deleted scene that I never knew existed, but seeing Beverly D'Angelo in it made it special.
Oddly, it’s in the book but not the movie.
Cusack's character didn't want to under-buy the collection because he "didn't want to do that to another serious collector," but the ethics of this situation is that the guy cheated on his wife, ran off with a teenage girl (who was friends with the daughter!) and then is stupid enough to ask the wife to sell that collection so he could recoup his losses and return home. I would argue that guy does not deserve the courtesy of having his collection protected like this: He brought it on himself.
Which if you watched the movie is pretty much what Cuacks character is all about. His priorities are well out of wack. The film is the journey of him discovering that and maybe correcting it.... but.. probably not.
thanks for recapping the scene. We understand what's going on.
Professional's have standards
@@whattowatchrightnow you're welcome
None of those acts make that guy less of a collector. Which is the part Rob respects. From one collector to another.
This is exactly how I imagined this scene when I read the book! It sucks that it was cut from the movie
Just today I bought a collection. 52 cassettes, and over 500 singles. The woman wanted $25 for the lot. I asked if they were hers. "They were my husbands". I immediately felt like I was in this scene.
It's in the Top 5 All Time deleted scene list. My lead co-star in two independent films made 20 years apart, Travis Greer, played Rusty in the Vacation Super Bowl commercial with Beverly. Awesome!!! It makes me 2 degrees from John Cusack. His roles on occasion have paralleled my life. I was co- founder of a paranormal investigation team when he played in 1412. Both geeks when Sixteen Candles debuted as well as having a large vinyl record collection during this film.
Ok sure
I love this scene so much. She owns that character
It's been reported she was too stiff and this scene had several retakes. I'm betting that her acting is what kept this scene out of the film. It was that stiff and bad
@@624radicalhamYou legitimately think this is bad acting? Seems like she nailed it to me
I loved the Hulu Zoe use of this scene it was perfect!
This actually happened to me. A friend of my girlfriend said that I could, "take anything I wanted, if not everything" of her husband's collection. They were getting a divorce and he was overseas. This guy was an absolute nut for The Beatles and had their complete discography in every country they released their records. There must've been thousands of records but I said no because I couldn't do that to another collector.
Moral of the story - BIGGEST mistake of my life as [he] died 2 weeks later and she gave them all away.
You did the right thing. Bury the regret, man.
@@William.Driscoll Doing the right thing is hard but GOOD FOR YOUR REPUTATION!
Damn! That's mythic level honesty, dude!
I sleep better knowing I did the right thing even when I've been screwed a couple of times in the past.
"Doing the right thing" is only meaningful when it is hard to do the right thing. If it's easy, anyone could have done it. You DID the right thing.
Whoever consulted this movie about valuable records did a great job. This first album you see in the center hanging is the thirteenth floor elevators, their original pressings can go up to a thousand dollars.
Oh and Beverly d angelo was still a babe here.
I've been a fan of this movie for years never thought it had a deleted scene
Which tells you exactly how much it was not needed.
I've seen films and been like "wait, how much of this did they leave on the editing room floor?"
I was devastated this scene didn't make it in to the movie. It tells you so much about Rob.
Probably would have compromised. Bought the collection for her price, Sold a few and given the proceeds to charity to salve my conscience.
There've got to be a few in there that aren't amazing or iconic. Better to have an awesome collection and peace of mind than a slightly more awesome collection and a lingering guilt.
You sound just like a top business executive, they do a lot for charities in between ripping society off and making life miserable for everyone else.
I saw this movie 10 years ago and understand why it was important in the book and why it was cut as well. Book wise, seems like a reference to resisting temptation and redeeming himself. Movie wise, it muddies the more sinplified narrative in the cinematic adaptation
I saw it as the beginning of god realization that he’s chaos, and he doesn’t want the chaos anymore. Getting involved in the crumbling of a marriage by essentially stealing the collection would have added to his chaos.
Huh. I never would have thought that Clark Griswold would run off to Jamaica with a younger woman. Crazy.
You never can tell
I Would have gave her the 50 bucks and got her phone number Lol
I was thinking something like that, she's very beautiful and seems interesting and charming, I would ask her "can I ask you on a date if you get a divorce?".
I wish I was the lucky husband to live there in that beautiful house with that gorgeous woman and that record collection! I would be so happy!! I would never even dream of cheating on her!!.
The fact he doesn’t even try to pursue that avenue - when there’s every reason to think it would be welcome - just shows how single-minded nerds are about their obsessions. It’s solid characterization.
Rob seriously should've taken those singles. I mean for $50 for all of them, you can't beat it.
So much temptation in this scene for Rob. Also, the conundrum of treasure - you have to become a dragon to amass it, but in doing so, you can't enjoy it anymore.
My God, Beverly D'Angelo had it going on.
At first I was wondering how this scene didn't make the film. Then at the end I was glad it didn't. I would have been so pissed he didn't take the collection for $90. There are principles, and then there is stupid.
Pretty sure the music collection is less than 1% of the point of the entire book..
Vintage record collecting isn't a money thing. It's people obsessing over items that have a street value of about $30. That's the comedy of the movie. Small things being treated as massive things.
Only the Lonely = $30
Blonde on Blonde = $30
Almost every rare record you see in the movie is actually cheap/affordable.
If they include this scene, they're saying, "yeah, this hobby can involve life changing money" and the collectors watching are saying "nah, that aint real"😂
I mean, God Save The Queen probably traded for about $5k in the 1990s, and there's maybe a few more records in there that are worth over $100, but everything else is going to be $20. It's probably a $10k collection. Not crazy money like they're trying to imply
@@chrisjames6327 he says “let’s compromise, I’ll give you $1500. They are worth at least 10 times that.” $15k and $10k are in the same ballpark. So, even by your own estimation it’s not a massive overvaluation.
this scene should not have been deleted, it would have totally underscored just how unbalanced his value system was with people and music. he somehow found it karmically unbalanced to buy the collection for 50 bucks but allowed Barry to refuse to sell a record to someone on Barry's principles. just too funny
@@chrisjames6327it’s a bit like videogame collecting, it’s a hobby for lower middle-class geeks and relatively affordable. But there are single ancient Chinese vases out there that are worth as much as an entire room of stuff.
Easy fix:
Pay the $50, keep them collection intact at your house, wait for the guy to make his way back to the country. Then sell it back to him for a few grand (which he can afford) as asshole tax. You don't screw him out of his life's work and you get paid at the same time. If he doesn't come back? Then keep 'em! You buy a collection like that and you'd even *think* of selling it? No way. Eat the 50 bucks and be happy with your score.
Pay the 50 screw the guys wife and leave happy
Cannot believe they left this out of the final cut. The reverse negotation is classic! The film is great, and this scene would still have made it even better.

Woman: No, your honor, first a Gibson, THEN a Fender

The most popular deleted scene ever?? Great scene! ✨
Grosse Point Blank and High Fidelity are two of my favourite 'Romcoms'. Funny and intelligent, my wife and I always watch them when we want a chilled, happy evening. John Cusak was the master of this genre.
interesting to find someone in the wild with exactly the same favorite under the radar movies. GPB is one of the best paced ever.
@@eliyale99 I'll raise you another - all time favourite with my kids: "Snatch" with Brad Pitt playing a convincing Irish "traveller" with an impenetrable accent. Astonishingly, not well known in the US, but elsewhere in the world, regarded as Pitt's greatest performance. One of a suite of Guy Richie British gangster movies. Novel cinematography with great characters and subversive humour.
@@sailflyboy i will check it out and report back!
Those two movies are not a genre
This was in the book, and I always wondered why they kept it out of the movie. It explains a lot about Rob.
I understand why this scene was cut but damn is it great and fits the movie so well
I’ve only seen this movie once or twice, more than 15 years ago, but this scene was definitely in there.
they used this scene in the tv show with Zoe Kravitz -- same result
My favorite scene in the movie. And it was cut from the original release.
I definitely would do that to another collector, who did THAT to his wife. If he had to sell his singles, to keep that nineteen year old interested, he's already lost his status as a collector. There's no one I would sell my collection for.
I would fork over 50, and told her I would be back in 10 min with a uhaul😆
Thats the kind of situation people dream of!
I saw this in a theater and distinctly remember this scene. In fact,not sure why they would cut it, it's a terrific commentary on what "value" really means.
was thinking the same thing, also saw it in theatre's (when it was released) and remember this scene. Not getting the "why it was deleted" comments, maybe it's a country/zone thing or later release dates.
@@gilbata It was definitely not in the original release of the movie in the United States. It was a very memorable scene from the book and very noticeably absent from the theatrical version of the film.
Loved how the show expanded this scene and made it more interesting.
When pawn shops in rural states were selling SNES games 4 for $10 back in the day... eBay has ruined most of all the fun now.
I find him drooling over the records funny because when the movie came out all this stuff was rare. Now you just click a button and whatever you want is there to listen to. The intrinsic VALUE of having all these records, dare I say "data" is so different today than it was in the past. When I 1st saw this movie I felt like he did watching him roll through the records. Sadly now that rush of the "find" is lost, changed, sullied, and its sad.
No, you can still have an amazing physical collection as we all, records collectors do.
Sorry but nothing comes close to owning your own vinyl record collection. Yes you can get everything nowadays and at decent sonic quality by the click of a button and in some cases even at a Master Quality (TIDAL), but nothing is like the ritual of owning and listening to the actual LP, with all its drawbacks and idiosyncrasies.
if anything it's even more valuable now.
"I find him drooling over the records funny because when the movie came out all this stuff was rare. Now you just click a button and whatever you want is there to listen to" Err, the value of such records has only gone way up since. The records shown above were not expensive because you couldn't find their music to listen to it - you could buy reissues or the CD version in most stores. Those were expesive because they were collectible first editions... So the fact that you can find the same music in Spotify doesn't change anything about the worth of such a record collection. It's probably worth double the inflation-adjusted money today than in the nineties if you sell it.
All of these are worth far more today because of that reason. The versions you find online are all too cleaned up and remastered. The best part of vinyl is the spsound quality and feel.
I would have given her the money and asked is there anything I can do for you 🤣🤣
I watched this movie somewhere on TV (HBO?) and it had this scene in it. It is the one scene I remember the most from the movie.
Love that the tv series added this scene
What tv series? That drek?
Holy shit, its Beverly Diangelo! (Helen Griswold)
One day, decades ago, my dad put all my comics up at a yard sale my neighbor had. Some people bought one or two, but one guy bought All of my Spiderman, Superman and Batman comics. I'm still furious. I won't buy any more of those.
He's dead now.
I remember when I was a kid watching this and thinking it was going to end a little bit differently.
I have never seen this scene. Ever. And it’s arguably my favorite movie
Great scene, wish they had kept it in the movie
'I want to be poisonous but fair' lol sure
I worked at a used bookstore all throughout college. The guy that owned it got into selling old vynil my second year. I was a DJ at the college Station. I got to look through and get first pick of any stuff that came in. My collection went from just under a hundred to a number I stopped counting. I wish I had that collection back.
Must be a deleted scene as i don't remember this scene from the movie !?
I've seen it several times.
Love the movie as I'm a Music enthusiast too.
Never leave your collection in another's person's hands.
Can’t understand how this scene got cut. Maybe non-music people would not get the meaning of records but to anyone who has hunted down their holy grail, records mean EVERYTHING.
This woulda been my favorite scene in the movie
It is my favorite scene and that's why I noticed it was missing because I was waiting for it. My second favorite scene at a close second would be Jack Black dancing to Katrina & The Waves, "Walking on Sunshine."
yep, then sold them back to her husband when he got home lol
@@sbswtnchoice How were you waiting for this scene when you first saw that film unless you actually worked on the film? And if you did .. who are you? EDIT: I found your comment down below
"Yep, when I first watched this movie years ago, I watched it with this scene included. Having found a place to watch the movie for free on the internet, I couldn't wait for this scene to pop up only being bummed out to find it was missing. This scene is pivotal because it reveals John Cusack's or Rob's true character. The Otis Redding is his weakness, and he can possibly be forgiven but with Beverly D'Angelo playing the devil and trying to throw in the Sex Pistols one for free, it's a true temptation."
that's what you should have written here lol .. apparently some bootleg copy online was circulated with this scene as it was officially cut
Yeah, it was a really long version, over 2hrs and yep someone had added this scene in. They actually needed to keep this scene in the film, it's everything worth waiting for and has it's own side element to the movie. It would have been cool if they had made a High Fidelity part 2 with John Cusack and Beverly D'Angelo going to an amusement park or having fun together as friends after they get acquainted more.
@@sbswtnchoice Got it thanks! It truly was a great scene. Multiple reports online from people who worked on the set indicate that Beverly D'Angelo was considered too stiff by the director and that scene had to be shot several times and she never quite nailed it. In the end I guess because of her performance is why it was eliminated.
This is based on, or derivitive of, an old story about how a man sees an ad for a vintage Porsche in a for sale ad and visits the seller. Yes she's a divorcee; husband sent her a wire saying "Sell the Porsche and send me half of what you sell it for."
The problem with this from a reality stand point is, he doesn't check the condition of a single record.
Where can I get a cabinet like this!? Lol I love this movie!
If she would've said they were hers he'd have bought them for $50.
ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL DELETING THIS SCENE FROM THE MOVIE...🎬
What makes this scene is the pure sexiness of the lady.
Love it!
Make more videos please! Haha :)
It's a good scene, but it wouldn't have added much to the movie - just a peek at Rob's principles as a collector, and his views on collecting are covered well enough in the movie as it is.
Any business person who is really into record collecting and was presented with an opportunity like this would break an arm digging the $50.00 dollars out of their pocket and get out of the door before she changed her mind, talk about suspending disbelief!😂
It’s make believe, holmes…
Watch the movie and you'll understand.
He wasn't a business person who was really into record collecting he was a guy who was really into record collecting who had a business so he could be around records all day.
You're confusing two different, even opposite, terms: "business person" and "collector". One is not the other.
"I couldn't do that to a fellow collector." Any man who would give up his 45's for a weekend fling with some airhead bitch that he's never going to see again doesn't deserve them. I would've taken this deal in a heartbeat
You sound like an airhead bitch.
I remember going to pick up some used textbooks to save some money. The owner had left for engineering school the day before. I was looking around the basement and there were guitars and amps all over the place. The guy conned his parents into paying for the equipment and rarely played the expensive guitars. He had two teles, two strats, four Gibsons including a Les Paul, two Gretsch, and some others. Maybe 20 guitars total. The mother was pissed the son left all this stuff and wanted to let all the guitars, amps and pedals go for around $2000. The father chimed in and said the son would be pissed and besides the equipment was worth much more. The Mom just wanted it all cleared out. I told my friend who bought everything for $2000 and created a nice guitar tool kit. He still plays those guitars today as a professional musician.
On a Saturday 16 yrs ago my wife & pushed our daughter in her stroller around the neighborhood & we come upon a yard sale. The woman was selling all of her husbands expensive woodworking equipment and motorcycle. I was going to purchase the professional lathe & tablesaw. When she wasn’t looking her neighbor stopped me and said that her husband is a Navy officer out on deployment, and that she found out he had been cheating on her. Apparently the girl is pregnant and she came by the house to inform the wife since he has stopped communicating with her. I didn’t know the guy, but he did live two blocks from me, so I just let somebody else have them.
Couple hours later I drove by there and the vultures had already bought everything.
She wanted $200 each for them. They were immaculate looking & looked like they just came from the factory. Later I did an Internet search on them and the tablesaw is $4300 new and that leaves was $3200.
This is easily in my "Top 5" movies of all time.
OMG! Had a similar experience with my Ex over my record collection. I would easily do this to a fellow record collector.Karma owes me.
Curious, if you'll oblige, where's your "19 year old" now?
The translation of "karma" is not "asshole".
Rob also doesn’t know if this story is true, or if the guy is going to figure out who bought his records and come after him
This is a great scene that was cut from th final version of the movie!
This should have been in the film. It's perfect in every way and at the time Rob is sorta a lowlife toward Laura and her "boyfriend" and this redeems him a bit in our eyes.
I fail to see why he is a lowlife.
I read the book before watching the movie and I wondered why this scene wasn't there while the rest was pretty much there.
I would of asked to buy the whole collection
in the book I think he pays a lot more for the Otis Redding single ('You Left the Water Running') and goes into how it was deleted by his widow on the same day of its release as the label put it out illegally. Worth a bomb.
This scene is very true to the novel.
The whole movie is, amazingly. Great book, and incredibly, an even more terrific movie.
Beverly D’Angelo is in this scene and there are guys on here only talking about the records…
Humanity is doomed.
This scene is outrageously good - why they cut it, I do not know as it's in the book. Beverly D'Angelo is just great as the scorned wife and it really shows Robb's soft, sentimental side. Love the book - love the movie...
I think it was cut for length. The movie was almost 2 hours.
@@perfumistaperfumista943 What the hell two additional minutes !

@@perfumistaperfumista943 So what ? 4 minutes is not that long. And the scene is powerful.
Yep, when I first watched this movie years ago, I watched it with this scene included. Having found a place to watch the movie for free on the internet, I couldn't wait for this scene to pop up only being bummed out to find it was missing. This scene is pivotal because it reveals John Cusack's or Rob's true character. The Otis Redding is his weakness, and he can possibly be forgiven but with Beverly D'Angelo playing the devil and trying to throw in the Sex Pistols one for free, it's a true temptation.
Great scene, shoulda been in the final edit.
I like to imagine the thought of someone else buying them drove him so mad he decided to take them.
Why would this scene get cut?! That’s madness.
former record store employee here. this scene just hurts to watch.
I wonder if that scene was supposed to be part of his redemption arc. God knows I would buy for $50 and get the hell outta there with those singles.
Not really, in the book this happens very early. He even says something like "Am I the bad guy for feeling sorry for this cheating asshole?" so he basically feels sorry for the guy because he has an amazing collection and doesn't want to ruin his collection eve though he is an asshole.
