ストーリー
ジャクソン・メインはカントリー歌手として名を馳せていたが、ドラッグと酒に溺れる生活を送っていた。そんなジャクソンを公私共に支えていたのが、兄のボビーであった。
カリフォルニア州でのコンサートの後、ジャクソンはドラァグ・バーに立ち寄った。しばらくしてパフォーマンスが始まったが、ジャクソンはその歌に大きく心を揺さぶられることになった。歌っていたのはバーのウェイトレス、アリーであった。彼女の才能に感服したジャクソンは、アリーを次のコンサートで起用することにした。その話を持ちかけられたアリーは断ろうとしたが、ジャクソンの熱意に根負けして出演することになった。
コンサート当日、ジャクソンとアリーのデュエットは観客から喝采を浴びた。その反応を見たジャクソンはアリーを自身のツアーに同伴させることにした。そうしているうちに、2人の間には恋愛感情が芽生えることとなった。2人は一線を越えようとしたが、ジャクソンが行為の前に泥酔してしまった。その後、2人はジャクソンが生まれ育った牧場を訪れたが、その土地はすでにボビーの手によって売却されていた。背信行為に怒り狂ったジャクソンは直ちにボビーを解雇した。
やがて、アリーはメジャーデビューの機会を掴み、カントリー歌手からポップ歌手へと転身して瞬く間にスターへの階段を駆け上がっていった。ジャクソンはアリーの転身を快く思っておらず、ストレスからますます酒浸りになっていった。アリーのマネジャー、レズはジャクソンの存在がアリーのキャリアの邪魔になっていると考え、その事実をジャクソンに突き付けたが、それが悲劇的な結末をもたらすことになった。（from ウィキペディア Wikipedia)

ALLY: ‘Tell me something boy,
Aren’t you tired tryin’ to fill
that void? Or do you need more,
Ain’t it hard keepin’ it so
hardcore?’
JACK: Is that me?
ALLY: That’s you.
JACK: You just write that now?
ALLY: Yeah.
JACK: It's pretty good.
ALLY: ‘I’m falling,
In all the good times,
I find myself longing for change.’
.
ALLY: I started writing this song the
other day, and...
ALLY: Maybe that could work, like, as a
chorus or something. I have to
think if I can remember it.
‘I’m off the deep end,
Watch as I dive in,
I’ll never meet the ground,
Crash through the surface,
Where they can’t hurt us,
We’re far from the shallow now.’
JACK: Holy shit.
ALLY: What is this? Was this supposed
to help me?
JACK: Can I tell you a secret?
JACK: I think you might be a songwriter.
JACK: But don't worry, I won't tell
anybody. But I'm not very good at
keeping secrets.
ALLY: You're a real gentleman.
I think.

on the right.
JACK: What’s all this?
ALLY: It’s my dad. It’s a long story.
JACK: What's he, a sheikh?
ALLY: No, he's a driver.
JACK: Hey, I got a gig. You wanna come?
ALLY: When?
PHIL: We're headed to the airport now.
JACK: Well, it's tonight.
ALLY: Tonight? No, I can't. I gotta go
to work later. I gotta go to bed.
JACK: Who's gonna take care of your
hand? I messed it up.
ALLY: Me. I'll take care of my hand.
JACK: It's my fault I took you to that place.
ALLY: That’s okay. You have my number.
JACK: Okay. All right.
JACK: Hey.

A Star Is Born (2018) - Brotherly Rivalry Scene (3/7)
JACK: You sold Dad's ranch! They turned
it into a fucking wind farm!
BOBBY: I bought that for you.
JACK: Where's his grave?
BOBBY: He washed away in a fucking storm.
His grave isn't there anymore. I
would have told you, but you were
fucking drunk. You were fucking
loaded and already pissing
yourself a swan song. Fuck if you
shed a tear for that piece of shit
you idolize for no goddamn fucking
reason. All Dad ever did for
you... is make you his fucking
drinking buddy. And you'd be
right there with him if he was
still alive, and you fucking know
it.
BOBBY: What did you think, that I was
gonna fucking take care of it
while I'm fucking cradling your
ass all over the goddamn world?
JACK: That's a good excuse. Raising a
little brother, so you don't have
to deal with the fact that you
were no fucking good.
BOBBY: If I was no good, why'd you steal
my fucking voice?
JACK: 'Cause you had nothing to fucking
say. And you were too proud to
sing any of the songs I ever
wrote.
BOBBY: Well, I got something to say now,
pal. I'm done being your fucking
errand boy. I quit.

FRANKIE: I think you're pretty.
ALLY: Me? You think I'm pretty? Thank
you. I think you're pretty.
NOODLES: It was real great, and then Jack
tells me you wrote the song.
ALLY: Yeah, he got me to start singing
my own songs again.
NOODLES: He has a way of, he has a way of
doing that.
ALLY: Yeah, he does.
JACK: I understand what you said.
ALLY: What the hell are you...
ALLY: Are you kidding?
JACK: Well, that's a stupid thing I just
did.
ALLY: No. It's not stupid.
ALLY: Is that what you were doing when
you left the table?
NOODLES: I don't know. He told me he was
looking for some pliers. I didn't
know what he was going to do. I
didn't think he was gonna ‘do it’
do it.
JACK: Well, that's just temporary.
NOODLES: No, no, no. Jack, wait a minute.
Let's anoint this.
PAULETTE: Good idea! We've got two
witnesses.
NOODLES: Let's do it today. Yo, for
NOODLES: I'll call my cousin right now.
It's Saturday. Nobody's gonna be
in there. Let's go.
JACK: I mean...
ALLY: You really wanna do that?

ALLY: It what? It ‘has a magical quality?’
JACK: It does.
ALLY: What do you mean?
JACK: I mean that church is special.
PAULETTE: I'll take you to get a dress.
JACK: There you go, right there.
PAULETTE: It'd be great! Okay, you're
coming with us for sure because
you're the...

doing? Okay, sure.

ALLY: We’re both waiting for Daddy.
JACK: What, three weeks?
ALLY: Yeah. You are gonna come back, right?
JACK: What do you mean?
ALLY: You’re going to come home when
you’re done?
JACK: Do you not want me to?
ALLY: No, I want you to. I’m just
wondering if -- I just...
JACK: Where else would I go?
ALLY: I don’t know, I guess I just
thought -- You know, it’s like...
There’s, Jack --
JACK: Why would -- Wait, wait, wait.
Why would you say that?
ALLY: I don’t know, I guess I wondered
without the booze, you know, if
you would want to come home.
‘Cause when you met me you were
drinking and now you’re not.
JACK: I wasn't drunk the whole time we
were together.
ALLY: I know, but... It got bad when we
were together. It’s okay, I mean,
it’s fine. I just was wondering,
that’s all. Whatever you want is
okay.
JACK: Whatever I want? I want to be
with you. That’s why I’m here.
ALLY: Okay. I know, I know. I just
want you to be happy.
JACK: I’m working on that... I need to
stick with you.
ALLY: I brought something.
ALLY: I wanna know what this is, my
love.
ALLY: You hiding love songs?
JACK: I don't know, it sort of fell out
of me, I guess, and onto this
page. And I put it in here, and I
thought... I thought maybe you'd
find it when you, uh... when you
came back to you, maybe.
ALLY: Well, I found it.
JACK: Listen... I’m... I’m sorry.
ALLY: It’s okay. It’s okay, it’s not
your fault.
JACK: I’m sorry I did that.
ALLY: It’s okay. It’s not your fault.
It’s a disease.
JACK: No, but I embarrassed you. I
embarrassed you.
ALLY: I’m not embarrassed of you.
JACK: But it was so wrong.
A Star Is Born (2018) - One Last Look Scene (6/7)
REZ: We’re not exactly friends here.
While you've been away, we've been
back here in serious triage,
trying to clean up your fucking
mess. Barely finding our way
through it.
REZ: You almost single-handedly
derailed her whole career. You
understand that? She's never
gonna say this to you. She loves
you too much. Just by staying
married to you, she looks like a
joke. It's embarrassing.
REZ: Let's be honest, we both know it's
only a matter of time before
that's pushed aside again for the
real thing. And when that
happens, I don't want her anywhere
near you.
ALLY: Jack?
ALLY: Hey. I have some good news.
JACK: Yeah?
ALLY: I'm not gonna go to Europe. We're
gonna cancel the rest of the tour,
and I'm just gonna be here all
summer. Isn't that great?
JACK: What happened?
ALLY: Nothing happened. The label just
loves the record, and it's doing
so well, and they wanna keep with
the momentum and have me make
another one. Rez is super
psyched, so it'll be great.
ALLY: So, tonight's gonna be my last
show. Going out with a bang at the Forum.
JACK: Great.
ALLY: Yeah. Why don't you come with me?
We can sing ‘Shallow’ together.
The fans will go crazy to see you.
Come on, cowboy.
JACK: Yeah, why not? Okay.
ALLY: Yeah? Okay, good. I'll have a
car come get you.
JACK: I'll go meet you there.
ALLY: I'll see you soon, okay?
JACK: Hey.
ALLY: What?
JACK: I just wanted to take another look at you.
ALLY: Bye, honey.
JACK: Bye.
A Star Is Born (2018) - It Isn't Your Fault Scene (7/7)
BOBBY: Some kid started singing one of
his songs in a bar I was in the
other night... They're playing his
songs everywhere.
BOBBY: At first I got angry. I don't
know why. I guess I felt like...
how can any of these people feel
like they knew him? Who he really
was.
But then something changed. And
it soothed me. That, well, it
wasn't all for fucking nothing.
ALLY: The last thing I did was lie to
him.
BOBBY: Listen to me. It isn't your
fault. It just isn't. You know
whose fault it was? Jack. That's
it. No one else. Not you, not
me. No one but Jack.
ALLY: I just keep going over and over
it, over it in my head.
BOBBY: Jack talked about how music is
essentially twelve notes between
any octave. Twelve notes and the
octave repeats. It's the same
story. Told over and over.
Forever. All any artist can offer
the world is how they see those
twelve notes. That's it.
