Hey, look.

Look at all of this great movie
memorabilia stuff I picked up for you.

all the posters in here.

Lobby card, velvet rope.

Oh, that's very thoughtful of you, Dan.
I don't know what to say. Say a hundred

bucks and it's yours.

Come on, you expect me to fork over?

Look at this.

This is an authentic old candy counter
hat from the Velasco.

Hey, I was an usher at the Velasco when
I was a teenager.

What a swell place.

Crystal chandeliers, old statues, and
urinals so big you couldn't hit the top

you stood back.

I think we get the picture.

You know, back in the 20s, if Alaska was
a vaudeville house, had every kind of

actor. They had jugglers, magicians,
even had a horse on a high wire.

Hope his trainer carried an umbrella.

So why are they selling all this stuff?
Are they remodeling? Even better,

they're tearing it down this week.

Tearing it down?

That's terrible.

Yeah, whoever thought of that must be a
real moron.

You've been pretty snooty since you
started walking upright, haven't you?

It's being done by Fletco Developers, in
which I am a proud investor.

Fletco, you've thrown in with those
lowlifes who take landmarks and parks

turn them into one -hour photo donut
video malls?

Come on, they're going to tear the
theater down anyway.

And this way I'm doing my part to save a
few of these little mementos for

posterity. Hey, boss!

Here's the rest of the stuff you bought
from the Velasco.

I've been looking for a nightlight for
my bedroom.

No, no, you listen. You tell those jerks
that it's a grand old theater, and they

shouldn't tear it down.

Oh, yeah? Well, I almost hung up on you
first.

Hey, H, you wanted to see me?

Yeah, Dan.

I wanted to tell you that I'm going to
meet with the Velasco Preservation

Society today, and we're going to stop
you and those greedy developers.

Oh, come on, Harry. Read a newspaper.
Even Gorbachev says it's okay to make a

little profit.

That's not the point. We can't keep
tearing things down just because they're

old. What are you going to do next? Are
you going to bulldoze Walter Cronkite?

Your Honor, the Theater Preservation
Society is here. Great, Bull. Show them

Could any of you boys tell me where I
could find Judge Larry Soames?

Oh, you must mean me. I'm Judge Harry
Stone, and you are? Looking for Larry

Soames.

Okay, I'm Larry Soames.

Why the hell didn't you say so?

I'm Pop Sturkin.

Did I mention that yet?

You may need a translator. You want me
to see if anybody in the building speaks

old geezer?

Wait a minute, are you the...

Durkin of Durkin and Flop? Don't mention
him. I carried that no talent for 30

years. This guy is a comedy legend. You
played the Velasco, didn't you? You

betcha, son. It's all right here. Every
act that ever played there. Now, that's

me, the harmonica gauchos.

O 'Leary's raccoons?

At the time, the only skating raccoons
in North America.

And vaudeville died?

Uh, sir, here are those files you wanted
to look over. Yeah, in a minute, Mac.

We're coming up with a plan to save the
old Velasco. Oh, yeah? Now, in the 60s,

we had live music, wild bebop groups.

There's, uh, the Temptations, the Four
Tops, the Starlights.

The Starlights?

Boy, I remember the first time I danced
to their music.

It was great until Mom turned her ankle.

I've got nothing better to do, but I'm
going to go do it anyway.

Now, in the 30s, we had strippers at the
Velasco.

Tina and her doves.

Boys, it's a magical sight to see five
doves remove a brassiere.

Well, that bird in the front sure looks
happy.

Wow, Tina looks pretty.

Think she's still around today?

Yeah, probably sweeping the floor with
her tassels.

Oh, no, no. I frequently shut down my
heart for maintenance.

So what you doing? Huh?

Uh, nothing.

Nothing. Oh, I was just counting these
chairs.

Of course.

There's always been four. Well, that
checks with my figures.

What's this?

Huh?

Oh, really?

Oh, yeah. You know, I used to know all
their names. Let's see. That one's

and that one's Sonny, and... Who is...
Gosh, he looks familiar. Who is that? I

forget. What?

That... It's you!

What? That looks nothing like me.

Mac, I'm talking about him.

Oh, well, that's me, sure.

Oh, Christine, it was a long time ago
before they became famous. We all grew

in the same neighborhood.

Well, Matt, this is fascinating. Don't
you miss it?

Well, I suppose.

But look, we went our separate ways.

It's all water under the bridge to me.

Yeah, I guess we all have our painful
tales of roads not taken.

I once foolishly passed up the chance to
be Buffalo's darch queen.

Don't look back, Christine.

We all get angry, Mr. Timmons, but that
does not give you the right to venture

frustrations on a customer in your
barber shop.

$100 fine and time, sir.

Here's the list of the old performers I
contacted, sir.

The Tapping Tortonis, Roy the Human
Vacuum Cleaner.

Roy, now there was a trooper in his
prime. He could do five shows a day in

area rug during lunch.

What happened to Tina and her dubs? Oh,
I'm sorry, sir. She's a no -show. She

said the only things that bump and grind
anymore are her knee joints.

Well, even without Tina, we're going to
have one heck of a press conference.

Who's having a press conference? We are.
We're going to stop Dan and those

parasites from tearing down the Velasco.

So you're determined to stand in the way
of progress, huh?

Dan, I wouldn't call an all -night T
-shirt shop a giant leap for mankind.

All night?

Harry, no, your problem is you can't let
go of the past. What are you talking

about? I'm a 90s kind of guy.

1890s, maybe.

Yeah, and you're the guy who wants to
tear down a Renaissance cathedral to put

up a donut shop.

Don't be ridiculous.

Yogurt, that's where the money is.

Another big hand for that great old
vaudeville performer, Fiery...

Wasn't that great, Ross?

Yeah. Who'd have thought denture cream
was flammable?

And now, another performer who is a part
of the heritage of this grand old

theater, performing his classic sketch,
the bellboy and the desk clerk. Please

welcome...

You bet she does.

She's in town for the pottery
convention.

Would you mind grabbing her jugs?

Can you believe I get paid for this job?

How's that?

Can you believe I get paid for this job?

Who?

What's your next line?

If it's my line, why are you saying it?

We'll have this conversation later.

Oh, forget it. I hate working with
amateurs.

Pops, wait.

Get out of the business, Soames. Your
box office poison.

Comedy great Pops Durkin, ladies and
gentlemen.

Let's get out of here, guys. This is
going nowhere.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, everybody.

I have a big surprise for you.

I'm sorry, sir. I took this upon myself,
but...

Frankly, you were dying here.

He's the one who forgot his line.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the
world -famous Starlight!

can sing the tunes themselves.

You got a problem, Mac? I didn't have a
problem until you showed up here. In

your face, man. In your face.

At that point, the press conference

deteriorated into a shouting match.

I've never been so humiliated in my
entire life.

How about that time you spoke to the
League of Women Voters and your fly was

open?

But you know, the worst part is that
Velasco is still going to be destroyed.

And in a late -breaking development,
moments before the wrecking ball was to

begin demolition of the theater, a New
York man has chained himself to the

and has refused to move.

beginning to call Baldy the bailiff.

Mr. Shannon, how long do you think you
can hold out?

With a border party?

Indefinitely.

And without one?

Maybe a week.

I think America needed to know that.

With me now is Fletco President Mr.
Lawrence Farrington, who has set the

deadline of midnight to begin wrecking
around Mr. Shannon.

You know, On the Spanish channel,
they're calling him El Estupido Grande.

Well, I hope you're happy, Dan. You and
your money -grubbing friends are about

to pulverize bull. Well, wait a minute.
I don't make decisions for this company.

I'm an average stockholder. I send in my
proxies to elect a board hoping they'll

make me a reasonable profit.

It's called Blind Faith and the Big
Greedy Guys.

That's it.

That's it. If we could talk enough of
the stockholders into sending us their

proxies, then we could force Farrington
to call off the demolition.

That would be nice.

It would also be nice if the meat in my
freezer turned into Eddie Murphy.

No, this could work.

We'll get Bull to make a plea on
television, then the stockholders don't

us. You're putting a lot of faith in a
man whose lips move while he thinks.

It'll work. I know it will.

All the average Joes, the little guys,
Sam the druggist and Dave the butcher,

joining together with their proxies to
stop the cold -hearted developers.

You know, Harry, if you weren't born,

Walt Disney would have had to draw you.

Mac.

Mac, I'm sorry my little surprise upset
you so much.

I was just sure it was going to be like
one of those sweet, this is your life

reunions. Oh, yeah?

Well, why didn't you invite the sweet
girl who stood me up for the prom?

Or the real sweet army recruiter who
talked me into being all I could be?

Mac, I'm sensing there's some unfinished
business here. You're damn right there

is. Just before they hit it big, the
starlights dumped me.

Really? Yeah.

Why? Well, I was a lot younger than the
guys.

Everybody said I was...

Better looking and more charming than
they were.

I didn't say it. Everybody did.

So you're saying they were jealous?

Look, all I know is they go to work in
goal of May, and I'm wearing earmuffs on

the subway.

You know, Mac, I felt exactly the same
way when I was kicked off the pep squad.

They cleaned out my locker. They took
away my pom -poms. Christine, I don't

care.

is I have been mad ever since.

I don't listen to rhythm and blues and I
can't even watch those little dancing

raisins.

Jamie Sullivan, we don't have all night.

Is Mac going to apologize or not?

You told these guys I was going to
apologize to them? Well, Mac, I just

maybe... They stabbed me in the back.
What?

What's his problem?

Well, I think Mac is feeling a little
rejected and maybe a little... Ticked

These guys dropped me for no reason.

What's he talking about? He quit.

Mm -hmm. Yeah, that's right.

So you quit. Quit how?

I just took some time off to finish high
school. When I came back a year later,

they acted like they never heard of me.

Well, that wasn't very nice, guys. We
gave him tickets to our show. Mm -hmm.

Yeah. That's right.

You tell him I didn't want the damn
tickets.

Well, apparently, Mac wasn't really
interested. Yeah, and tell him I wanted

be back on the stage.

From what I can gather from Mac... Tell
him I wanted to be back with the group.

Mac.

Tell him yourself.

You never told us you wanted back in.

Well, I thought you'd get the hit after
I showed up wearing a spangly tux.

We thought you were just styling.

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, well, I wasn't.

Here you guys went on to become rich and
famous, and the biggest thrill I get is

going a day without a paper cut.

Well, Mac, it wasn't all glamour for us
either.

It's tough on the road.

Oh, yeah, I'm crying for you.

I bet you guys rake it in. Yeah, and we
shovel it right back out. We got

managers and road expenses.

We don't do it to get rich.

We do it because we love it. And if you
loved it, you'd have kept singing with

or without us. Mm -hmm. Yeah, and that's
right.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

I made my choice a long time ago.

Look, will you guys forgive me for being
such a fool?

I think so.

Great. Hey, look, why don't we go get
something to eat? You bet.

All right.

It is your turn to pay.

The hell it is. I paid the last time.

But that was 20 years ago.

Oh, man, I'm not paying.

Well,

thank you very much for your proxies.

What's that?

No, no one has ever told me that I sound
like a young Cesar Romero.

You got two hours left. What do you
scrape together so far?

633 proxies and a hide -a -bed if we
pick up.

Harry, to get a voting majority, you
need 20 ,000 proxies.

20 ,000?

600 won't even save the handle on the
ladies' room door, which, by the way, I

bought.

It's hopeless.

We tried our best, but we lost.

Not entirely.

I've been looking for a hide -a -bed.

Guess I ought to go tell Bullitt it's
time to throw in the towel.

Harry, listen, it was a noble effort.

And I decided that if it had made a
difference in turning the tide, I was

prepared to give you my entire
portfolio.

That's very generous, Dan. How many
proxies do you have?

Way over.

Four.

Five.

That's not the point. Your determination
has made me respect your viewpoint. As

a matter of fact, now I'm sorry to see
that the Velasco's falling.

Ready to go, boss.

Great idea of yours, burrowing through
the rubble to get more collectibles.

Phil, do you remember that little talk
we had about discretion?

I'm afraid I'm going to have to cut your
pay in half.

Gee, it was a foot long, too.

And so here he stays, this... Jumbo,
gentle, genial giant.

Challenging the corporate world, singing
his heartfelt songs of protest.

John Jacob, that's my name too.

Hold on. So, haven't you got somebody
else to annoy?

I'm asking you one last time to
reconsider.

This isn't just bricks and mortar that
you're knocking down here.

People laughed in there. They cried in
there.

Babies were born in the balcony.

A lot of them were conceived up there,
too.

Come on.

What do you say?

I say, when the mall opens, yogurt's on
me.

Okay, Vito!

Let's get that wrecking ball swinging!

You there!

My bridge group and I have been watching
this, and we hate to see you wreck this

place. I don't have time for this, lady.
Hey, let her talk.

As a young girl, I met a very special
young man here during a movie.

We talked, we laughed, we shared our
popcorn.

And I'll bet you and that young man fell
in love, got married, and you stayed by

his side till his dying day.

Nah, he just wanted a cheap feel.

one of the best times I've ever had.

Brings a tear to my eye.

Anyway, my bridge group and I have a few
proxies we'd like to give you, Judge.

Very touching.

Wait, how many proxies can a bunch of
old card -playing biddies have, huh?

19 ,360.

What? From a bridge club?

We don't play bridge, Buster.

We build them.

With what we've already got, we're only
seven proxies short.

The operative word is short, Stone.

Dan, you promised us you're five.

Well, yeah, I mean, if it'd have put you
over the top. Dan, you were so close.

Damn.

Okay.

I guess I could give you my two proxies.

Your two proxies? What the hell are you
talking about, you flea farm?

I bought these shares for a rainy day.

You know, in case I was ever a little
down on my luck.

Thank you, Phil.

Dan, I guess your five are going to make
the difference after all.

Oh, well, I changed my mind.

Dan, you promised.

Did I make eye contact?

Yes, you did.

All right, all right, all right, here.

Mr. Farrington?

Yogurt this.

People like you take the fun out of
demolition.

Shut it down, Vito.

Yes!

Bull, you big lovable lug, you did it!

Oh, it wasn't only me, Your Honor. Oh,
don't you be modest, big guy. Thanks to

you, another generation of popcorn rats
is gonna be able to love this majestic

old theater.

Majestic? That's right.

I was an usher at the Majestic.

I've never been to the Velasco in my
life.

What are you doing, Ross?

Yeah, well, there she is.

There's some good memories here, huh?

Five of us really brought down the
house.

Yeah, and as I recall, you brought down
some jealous husbands, too. Yeah.

What did we say we sang one together?
Just for old times' sake. Oh, no, no,

My voice is way out of shape.

But that never stopped you before.

Well, now, that's true.

All right.

In the street.

Thanks, man.
