I was the Bob of my family for a long time. Put the drugs and bottle down,and picked up my Bible. Never looked back since. RIP Ritchie

Love that moment in this scene when it suddenly hits Bob that the reason Ritchie is so beloved by the family and everyone around him is not his musical talent or fame or money or anything like that. It's because he's a stand up guy who loves unconditionally. Bob has never been loved that way before and it changes him on the spot. As someone who has fought and reconciled with a brother, this scene always brings me to tears. Beautifully written and acted.

"Yeah cabron. I'm still here. And I'm still your brother." Gets me every time. Esai Morales was so good in this movie. People say it all the time, but I really think he warranted an Oscar nom as a Best Supporting Actor. All the envy and conflict he has, it's not put on. He makes it so believable.

YES! Absolutely an outstanding Oscar worthy performance as Bob by Esai Morales! I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw and felt this very emotional scene from a Classic 1980’s movie! Sadly, the playing field was not even in the 80’s, a little better now but ultimately by passed very talented actors just because of the color of their skin! 🥺👎

They both wanted to cry but they sounded tough and happy to each other over the phone.

I used to watch this almost every night when I was in college

I cried every time I watched this movie! 😢 Especially this part because knowing what was going to happen at the end. This is a good reason why should tell your loved ones that you love them because you never know what is going to happen. Life is very precious! 🙏

My dad treated my older brother real bad when we were kids. He took alot of it out on me. I still loved him and looked up to him. Even now that hes sorr for it. I forgive him and love him the same. He woll always be my big brother.

Family is family

It's sad that's the last time he spoke to his brother 😭

Dang the scene has me in tears right now. I lost my little brother May 21st will be three years ago. He was almost 34 years old when he died. And you know I would give anything in the world to be able to have one last conversation with my brother because I miss him so much and his kids miss him too. So this scene really tugs at my heartstrings because I know that even though me and him had our differences and had our arguments and all that he was still my brother.

One of my favourite scenes from the movie.

Makes me wish I had a brother, but it also makes me appreciate my relationships with my closest friends, who are like siblings to me.

You sure you want me around after all that shit I said? Hey those were your real feelings man. Always gets me

Bob behaved the way he did and was rebellious because he felt unloved when he was growing up. Richie's father wasn't Bob's father and therefore he didn't love him and Bob knew it. His father figure was the curandero he visited in Mexico. Dispite whatever Bob and Richie went through they were still and they were close no matter what. That's because they were brothers and blood is thicker than water.

I had a fight with my brother years ago and we didn't speak to each other for over a year. He made a mistake, I made a mistake. But when mommy moved to a so far city letting heim alone, he bust into tears and I got close and said "don't be sad! You are my brother and I and my family will always be around!".

Ritchie feels so lonely without his family around in other city..He needs a courage to make a phone call of his brother..which is his brother Bob is jealous of Ritchie's talent.. It means that Ritchie assure that his family is the place he is belong ..how hard it is..He needs love of his family to support his carreer. Bob feels his part of a brother is needed here..beside Ritchie... It is the last phonecall of Ritchie to his family..After that he got crashed of airplane . Who made him died. A terrible moment

This part in reality isn't factual Ritchie called Bob when he was in Milwaukee on the first night of the tour, In reality Ritchie wanted his Mom to join him not Bob i read that much in his autobiography as Ritchie was going to end the tour after the Moorehead date but unfortunately for him it wasn't to be due to the tragic Airplane crash there in Clear Lake Iowa on February 3rd 1959.

@Tornado1994

Nope. Ritchie was going to end it in Chicago by February 17th. Buddy was going to hang it up March 2nd once it reached Green Bay, planned on hiring a Lawyer to get Petty to release his greedy hands from Buddy's catalouge, planned on taking Maria and their incoming child back home to Lubbock from NYC, and JP was going to leave the Tour once it hit St. Paul by February 9th. He had plans to launch a Long Distance Radio Countdown Promotion on his Radio station and planned on spending the next month and a half anticipating the birth of his baby boy. Teetsie was due by April. The Winter Dance Party Tour didn't reach Milwaukee until February 8th, 5 days after the Tragedy. And FYI, Ritchie and Bob last spoke to each other on the phone on January 31st, while the Tour was in Ann Arbor,MI. The reason why Ritchie was going home February 17th, is because Bob and him were going to fly home together. Bob planned on Driving Cross Country to Chicago on February 11th six days before the Tour was to reach there. Bob was going to book a Motel Room and wait for Ritchie. Ritchie was due back in L.A. by February 20th, he had some studio mixing to do on his upcoming Debut LP and was due to promote his appearance in the Film "Go Johnny,Go". All 3 men became fast friends during the tour. JP encouraged Ritchie to go back and finish HS, promising him that he would help promote his upcoming Debut Album on his Radio Station if he agreed to earn his Diploma. Buddy planned on recording and writing Music with Ritchie and planned on guest starring on Big Bopper's Radio show.
