You've seen the new look, and you've
heard the new sound.

Now the continent, twist, baby, is in
your path.

Twist,

twist, let's do the gong, a little
twist, a little twist, twist, twist.

Now get around the dance hall, come on
and twist, twist, twist. Girl, you're

looking good, baby.

I want you to know, it's continental for
me to do it.

You've got to listen with your head.

Let's do the continental twist.

And the twist, twist, twist. Let's do
the continental twist.

And the twist, twist, twist.

Dance all four. Come on and twist.

Here's the dance of the day.

Oh, you better get with it.

Cause it's here.

Oh, my little mama was a British mama.

That you and me do the continental wild.

Are you joking?

He's sweet.

Let's go.

Sam,

I'm going to go throw these kids out.
Believe me. What good will that do?

Are you kidding?

We've got to get some paying customers
in here. Man, if you roughen them kids

up, you're going to get the cops in
here.

Well, what do you want me to do? Will
you please tell me? Well, why don't you

a little show for them and soften them
up?

Those hardheads.

Sure. Try it out, Chief.

Okay, Einstein, we'll try it your way.
One, two, three.

When you're smiling.

When you're smiling. When you're
smiling. When you're smiling. And the

world smiles at you. Smiles at you. When
you're laughing. When you're laughing.

I'm going to get some fresh air. Don't
anybody leave.

And the sun will come a -shining
through. Shining through. And when

crying. When you're crying.

You bring on the rain.

Bring on the rain. Got your sun.

Sun. Happy again.

When you're smiling, keep on smiling.

And the whole world will smile when you
play.

Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes. And
your eyes are blue.

Your kisses too.

I never knew what they would do. I can't
believe that you're in love with me.

You're telling everyone I know.

Each place you go, I can't believe that
you're in love with me.

I can't believe that you're in love with
me. I can't believe that you're in love

with me. Love, love, love, love, love,
love, love, you're right.

I can't believe that you're in love with
me.

Because I can't give you anything but
love.

See, he's swinging.

Let's make him twist. Yeah.

Well, all right.

Okay. You win.

I'm in love with you. Well, all right.

Okay. You win.

Baby, what can I do?

I'll do anything you say.

Just gotta be that way.

I'm asking all I want from you.

Just love me like I love you and it
won't be hard to do.

All right.

Okay.

You win.

I'm in love with you. All right.

Okay. You win.

Baby, what can I do? I'll do anything
you say.

It's just gotta be that way.

Love me like I love you.

It won't be hard to do, baby.

Well, all right.

Okay. Are you with me?

I'm in love with you. Well, all right.

Okay. You with me?

Baby, what can I do?

I'm the first thing you say.

You've got to be that way.

Well, all right.

Okay.

You with me?

I'm in love with you. All right.

That doesn't sound... Look, what do you
want? You come in here every night with

this mob.

You don't dance.

You take up all the tables.

No other people can come in. Now, what
do you want from me?

Well, is this the way you treat your
customers, Mr. Evans?

Miss Clunker, I'd like to see you in
your office.

It's important.

Work something, Sam.

Well, Miss Clunker, what can I do for
you?

Miss Watson, may I have the book?

According to our records, Mr. Evans, you
have not paid rent for two months.

I'm surprised Miss Watson didn't tell me
of it.

but I happened to check it myself.

As you know, it was against my better
judgment to rent this property to you.

I personally felt that your music was
vulgar and would attract a low type of

clientele. But I... I haven't finished.

The upper floor of this building is
occupied by an art gallery, and the

Mr. Arturo, complains of the noise.

My music ain't noise. Besides, I don't
complain about the noise he makes.

See what I mean?

Believe me, Miss Clunker, I know we'll
make it here. All I've got to do is

figure out some kind of way to keep the
kids out of the joint.

I'm in the club.

This dance has got to catch on. We'll be
turning customers away.

How would anyone be here this time of
night?

Because it's a nightclub, not a dayclub.

Not you, Miss Evans.

Mr. Arturo.

Impossible to paint under hot
conditions.

Julius, will you please get started on
the other picture? I have a very rich

Argentinian who wants that. Yeah, yeah,
yeah.

But what happens if we get caught?

Let me worry about that.

Now, come on, get on with it. Yeah,
yeah.

Let's wait until they close up.

Even the Duchess of Verona is doing the
taste.

I'm expecting another masterpiece
tonight, and I want you to get right on

Then please stop the music.

By next week, it'll be stopped
altogether.

Yes, I hope so.

My suggestion to you is not to let them
in.

Well, there's a city ordinance which
states the public place must be open to

everyone. That's right. I can't do
nothing. They don't cause no trouble.

But they sit there and take up all the
tables that the paying customers would

use. That's your problem, Mr. Evans.

I'm going to see Mr. Arturo about that
noise.

Meet me outside in five minutes, Jenny.

Yes, Miss Clunker.

Listen, babe, you're going to have to
stop working that night for that old

baton. Give me a little time.

Oh, Miss Clunker's a very nice woman.

Yeah, fine. Maybe she's going to throw
me out of the place. Nobody's going to

throw you out. What we have to do is to
find out who's sending those kids and

stop them.

That little punk that just sits there,
I'm going to rap it. You're going to rap

no one. That would give Miss Clonker,
and who's ever against you, a perfect

excuse to close the place up. I don't
understand.

He keeps bugging me.

What, I'm a louse or something?

Lewis Evans is a louse, if you'll excuse
the expression.

That barbarian has the nerve to say we
make too much noise.

What are you doing here at this time of
night, Mr. Arturo? The gallery closes at

six o 'clock.

Well, at night we clean and restore the
paintings.

Mr. Kleinfeld works for a different
gallery during the day, and I can afford

only on a part -time basis. Well, I do
wish he didn't have to use that air

compressor. This wasn't meant to be a
factory.

My establishment is an art gallery, and
if you have to choose between that noise

from downstairs and these world -famous
paintings... Oh, well, I didn't mean

that. I think your gallery lends an air
of dignity to my building.

Thank you.

And now if we can remove that blight
from downstairs.

I'm positive Mr. Evans will be out of
there by the end of the week.

Maybe you could rent it to a nice,
quiet, continental restaurant.

That would be very nice.

Miss Plunkett, if you haven't had
dinner, I would be honored if we might

together.

Oh, why, thank you. I would love to.

But I'm dining with my secretary, Miss
Watson.

It's the servants' night out.

Well, why can't both you charming ladies
have dinner with me?

Oh, I'm sure that would be all right.

I'll tell her. Excellent.

Now, if you'll excuse me for a moment, I
must give Mr. Kleinfort some last

-minute instructions.

I'll just look at your lovely paintings.

If she finds out what we are doing, we
both go to the clink.

Vincent, how would you and the boys like
to pick up a little merchandise for me

tonight? From the clunker mansion.

Good evening.

Are you stationed here every night?

Until they close.

Why?

Lady, all I know is I get a notice. This
is my beat until further notice. And

that's it.

I make sure the place isn't overcrowded
and they don't create a disturbance.

Well, who's they?

Those kids in there. That's the same
social club. They come here every night.

Well, do you do this with every club in
town?

Only when we get a complaint.

Well, who complained about the place?

They don't tell me anything lately.

Excuse me, I've got to check.

Jenny, we're being taken to dinner by
Mr. Arthur.

How charming.

Shall we?

Wait a minute, man.

It's just the idea that it has to finish
some kind of way. That's pretty, Chief.

Why don't you keep it in?

Well, you see, Sam, when you get to the
ending of the thing, I have a... I'm

sorry, folks. We're not opening. We
don't want to lie to anybody in here

we rehearse. Chief, that's a friend of
mine.

Well, come right in.

Sam, you know I don't like anybody
around while we're rehearsing. Yeah, but

is special, Chief. How'd you like to
make this the most popular club in town?

You kidding or something?

No, he can get the people in here and
teach them how to twist.

Who's this, Arthur Murray?

No, but he's got a shortcut method, and
he teaches them, and they learn like

that.

Well, I'd like to see it. Why don't you
show them what I'm talking about on the

floor? I'd be happy to.

Have you got a towel I can borrow?

Give me that towel, Bobby.

Go ahead and have it. Thank you.

Now, you take your feet.

Now, you put your left foot here and
your right foot here.

That way you got your balance, see?

Now, you take the towel.

And you put it right around the waist.

Now, you pretend like you just got out
of the shower.

And you're going to dry yourself off.

Now, dry.

That's it.

That's it. Just keep it dry.

Now, a little bigger.

Over this way.

That. See?

Now, if you give us a little music,
we'll show you how to twist a stunt.

Right there. One, two, three.

Wonderful. Listen, you're hired. You can
start tonight.

Thank you, Mr. Evans. Thank you. That's
okay.

Just be sure you're on time.

See? What did I tell you?

Sam, you're a genius.

Come on, we got some work to do, man.
Bobby, ring the bell.

Hello there, baby.

Yeah, this is me.

The big hard talker, baby.

Do I what?

Do I who?

Oh, yeah, baby.

Sure.

You know it's what I like.

Chintzy little lace and a pretty face.

A ponytail hanging down.

A wiggle and a walk and a giggle and a
talk.

Lord, makes the world go round and
round. There ain't nothing in the world

a big -eyed gal. They think they act so
funny. Spend my money, make me feel real

loose like a long -legged goose.

Oh, baby, that's what I like.

What's that, sugar?

But, but, but baby.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Yeah, darling.

Yeah. You, you, you, you know what I
like.

Chantilly lays in a pretty space. A
ponytail hanging down.

A wiggle and a walk and a giggle and a
talk. Lord.

Oh,

baby, that's what I like.

What's that sugar?

Want me to meet you at eight? Don't be
late.

But I done told you, baby, I ain't got
no money.

Uh -uh.

Oh, you gonna come up a little
something?

You know.

Chancellery lace and a pretty face. A
ponytail hanging down.

A wiggle in the walk and a giggle in the
talk.

Lord, make the world go round and round.
There ain't nothing in the world like a

big -eyed gal that makes me act so
funny. Spend my money, make me feel real

loose like a long -necked goose.

Oh, baby, that's what I like. There
ain't nothing in the world like a big

gal that makes me act so funny.

Spend my money, make me feel real loose
like a long -necked goose.

Oh, baby, that's what I like.

How was that, Chief?

Well, you can do better, Sam.

But it was only a rehearsal.

Well, do it once more just for me, okay?

Okay, one more time. Wait a minute. Hold
it, Sam.

You and the boys take a little rest.

Okay.

Hiya, baby.

I thought you were coming back last
night after that old beater fed you.

Oh, Louie, didn't you read the paper
this morning?

I read them all. Everybody picks Charlie
Horse in the fifth race.

Here it is on the front page. Miss
Plunkett's home was robbed last night.

We got home around 11 and found the
library door forced open and the

gone. So what's all the fuss? She'll buy
another one.

The Lady Elaine is worth $300 ,000.

That's a fine lady.

Now do you understand why I didn't
return last night?

The police were all over the place until
3 this morning.

There's no cops around now. Lay a little
one right on the little cheap.

Oh, there was something else. Yeah, tell
me.

I just came from the police station.

Oh. They told me who the kids are.
They're bugging you every night.

Sure they do.

Come on, you didn't hear me. I said the
police told me who the kids are and

where they come from.

I hear you. Come here, sweetheart.

Well, don't you want to keep them out?
Don't you want to save your club?

How am I going to keep them out?

Well, I thought maybe we could go down
there and talk to them and convince them

not to come in.

That's a good idea. I'll take Sam and
all the boys, and we'll go down and

convince them.

You and I will go alone, and there'll be
no rough house.

All we're going to do is talk to them.
Right. All we're going to do is talk to

them. We.

You and I.

Oh, baby, don't you trust me on it. I
love you, Louie. You're the sweetest man

know, but you've got one of the worst
tempers I've seen.

Me?

Come on, I'm going down to the club, and
you're welcome to come along.

Wait for celery eyes, baby.

You every day.

I went to a party at the village lane.

The kids were playing a crazy game.

But a cute little Billy goes whistling
by. He walked right up and gave her the

eye.

Can that whistling dolly? Don't let her
get away. Come on.

Can that whistling dolly?

Don't let her get away. Come on.

Can that whistling dolly? Make her love
you every day.

I tapped her lightly on her hand.

One took me the way she ran.

I swang and put loose and fancy free.

My potential filly was a thrill to me.

Tag that twistin' dolly. Better get
away, come on.

Tag that twistin' dolly.

Don't let her get away, come on.

Tag that twistin' dolly. Make her love
you every day.

Like a rubber ball bouncing on a wall.
Oh, baby, sweet baby.

Giddy -up, giddy -up, down to nine.

Until I tag you mine, oh, mine.

I can feel it, feel it, that's the
place. Can really steal your heart away.

But once you tag him in, tag him right.

It fills your heart with rage and twist
and dally.

Don't dare to get away. Come on.

Well,

how about one more number, then we start
the meeting.

Hey, you!

Oh, Mr.

Evans, this is a pleasure having you
visit us.

Oh, Riffy, the police told us where we
could find you.

We just wanted to talk.

We ain't looking for trouble.

But you already got trouble, right, Mr.
Evans?

I don't understand.

I saw you dancing to Louie's music, so
you must enjoy it.

Lady, like we dig it the most.

You dig my music? How come you hate me?

Well, that's nothing personal, Mr.
Evans. It's just a matter of business.

Oh, you mean somebody's paying you to
sit there?

Uh, well...

Man, that's the lowest. If I knew who he
was, I'd wrap that cat.

Can we talk to you privately, please?

I got a summit meeting.

Wait outside.

You wanted to talk?

So talk.

We're not going to ask you who's paying
you to do this to Mr. Evans.

Because I know you have much too much
integrity to tell us.

Try him.

He's only joking.

How come no one's laughing?

I thought it was very funny. Well, I
don't. Please, Louie. Now, let's get on

with the discussion.

Well, now, since we don't want to know
who the other party is, we can discuss

his deal, can't we?

Yeah, we can talk about the deal. What
do you want to know?

Well, if the deal isn't too stiff, maybe
we could come up to it, or perhaps we

could even better it.

I see you want me to double -cross a
client.

Oh, no, no. It isn't that. We'd just
like to bid on your services in a

business -like manner.

How do you know you'll be out of line?
We'll never know unless you let me

this.

Minutes of the last meeting.

Uh, old business, new... Ah, here it is.

Mr... Uh, Mr. X.

Mr. X wants the entire membership to
show up at Mr. Louis Evans' club every

night from the time it opens until the
time it closes.

One, he agrees to pay the cover but is
to be charged for nothing more.

Two, every member is to be paid a buck a
night.

Three, they must never dance.

Four, when the club closes for good, Mr.

X agrees to purchase jackets for the
entire membership.

Said jackets to be of any design the
Saints want.

Well, good. We can better it. Hold it.
How do you know we can?

Louie.

We can.

What's your deal?

We'll donate the jacket.

Date of delivery?

You can have them today.

Oh, uh, now we're taking a cash loss by
not coming down to the club.

Well, Mr. Evans will donate $200 to the
Saints' treasury.

$200 clams?

$200. Now, come on, Louie. Write out a
check for $400.

$200 for the Saints treasury and $200 as
a deposit on the jacket.

Oh, there's one other matter.

What if some of us want to come down to
the club to see the show?

Oh, you're welcome any time.

Yeah, as long as you don't come all
together, all at the same time on the

night.

Fair enough.

Oh, and there's one other thing.

But when we come, we don't want to wear
ties.

We want to wear the jackets you're
donating.

Anytime.

It's a pleasure to do business with a
pro.

Don't forget to come and see us when you
get the jackets.

Yeah, and take a long time getting them
made.

I'm going to rush nothing.

I can hear this.

Say, man, when's the chief coming back?

How should I know?

How long are we going to hang around?
I'm ready to leave.

What's the matter? You winning?

I think I'll wait till he gets back.

If you don't see him now, you'll see him
at showtime. What's the big deal, Roe?

Nothing. I just had something I wanted
to show him. Put it on his desk. He'll

see it when he gets in.

Man, I wanted to show him a new bit for
the act.

Well, save it for tomorrow's rehearsal,
huh?

Man, it's to do with the pipe.

Dig this lick.

Jen, there's no sense waiting any
longer. The chief probably went for a

eat with that chick.

Maybe you're right, Sol.

I think the chief will be happy if we're
not here when he gets back. Don't

worry. I'll straighten out any beefs.

I think I'll wait.

Are you going to go home? We're going to
take the chief's car.

Man, I sure wanted to show him my new
impression.

Oh, really, sir? So the chief's tired of
hearing all his Nat King Cole

impression?

Hey, wait!

Sam? Rolly?

Gee, honey, you shouldn't have let the
cab go. The boys are gone and they took

my car.

Oh, Louie, it's wonderful. Everything is
all straightened out.

Yeah. Don't you think you owe me
something for handling it so well?

Yeah. Oh, come on. You didn't hear one
word that I said.

What? I said you didn't hear one word
that I said.

I'm sorry, honey. I'm trying to figure
out... Who gave me the zinger?

What does it matter? It's all over with
now anyway.

How do I know he won't come up with
another scheme to close the place? He

He won't, right?

You're going to give me a guarantee.

Wait a minute.

Do you know who this Mr. X is?

Well, I'm not sure.

What do you mean you're not sure?

Either you do or you don't.

Stop shouting at me. I'm shouting.

Well, stop shouting at me.

I'm sorry. Fine,

lady. And you're a big, big bear.

I'm a tiger.

Do you know who this Mr. X is?

I was thinking. It has to be someone who
wants you out of the club.

Leticia Clunker. Oh, no. I know every
move she makes. It has to be someone

closer. Honey, don't play games.

Well, I was thinking. Now, I'm not sure.

But maybe it's Mr. O'Toro.

That creep. Yeah.

He's the one.

I'm not good enough for him.

Well, when I see him, I'll wrap it.
You'll do nothing of the sort.

You think I can't?

I know you can. But if you hit him or
anyone else, I'll take away your club

license in a second.

They're very strict about performers
never being arrested.

Now, when you meet him, you'll be very
civil, you'll shake hands, and act like

you don't suspect a thing.

How come you want me to be so nice to
him?

I just want you to be careful. I want
you to knock him off his guard.

I'd like to knock him off his feet.

Listen to me. I want you to meet with
him, shake hands, and act friendly.

Oh, come on off of it, honey.

No, really. It's the only way to beat
him at his own game.

Are you putting me on or something?

No. I want you to act friendly.

Well, I don't know what I... Well, I
want you to do it for me. Will you?

Okay, I'll do it. But you'll bring
Arturo down here. I ain't going up

When he comes down, I'll shake hands
with him.

And I'll promise never to complain about
his noise. And I'll make sure he

promises never to complain about your
music.

Solid. Uh, nothing about the saints.

Nothing. I'll go up the back stairs.

I'll be a gentleman.

When he comes down, I'll say, Mr.
Arturo, how do you do?

I'll stick out my hand, and we'll shake.

Vincent?

Well, I see your little exploit made the
front pages.

Well,

I'm looking forward to seeing the Lady
Elaine tonight.

What do you mean you're not bringing her
over?

Look, the longer we keep her around, the
more chances we're taking.

Well, look, Julius and I will be over
for her.

Well, I don't know just when, but just
stay there.

Right?

Miss Watson.

Oh, this is a pleasant surprise.

Mr. Arturo, I don't know quite where to
begin.

Oh, I know the painting. It was a great
loss, but I'm sure the police will be

able to... It's not the painting. It's
about Mr. Evans.

Well, I trust you agree with Miss
Clunker and me about getting rid of him.

Mr. Arturo, let me assure you that Mr.
Evans will remain here as long as he

wants to.

Oh.

Well, just what did you want to see me
about?

I'd like to know if you know Riffey and
his Social Saints Club.

Is this a membership drive?

I have every reason to believe that you
hide them to fill the place.

I shan't dignify that accusation with a
reply.

Although why you want to get rid of Mr.
Evans is beyond me.

Whatever gave you that idea? I have
nothing against Mr. Evans.

True, I don't appreciate his music, but
I certainly wouldn't put him out of

business. Would you tell Mr. Evans that?
Of course.

Would you come with me right now?

Well, there's nobody else in the shop.
Oh, it'll only take a minute.

Well, I... And it would be to everyone's
advantage if you and Mr. Evans were

friendly.

Well, perhaps you're right.

Good.

That's what I'll do. I'll be friendly.

But suppose when I stick my hand out, he
don't take my hand.

I'm not good enough for that bum.

Picture that. My girl walking upstairs
and bringing him down here, and he's

going to say to me, and...

And this is a bum that sent these kids
in here. They lost this place up. I

get the paying customers in.

I won't stand for it.

I'll take that bum apart.

Louie, take Mr. Toro.

Why, you...

I'd like to speak to Miss Watson,
please.

I'm sorry, sir. Miss Watson is
indisposed.

Well, tell her it's me.

Who is me?

Who is me? What kind of English is that?
Who is me? It's who is I.

And I am Mr. Louis Evans.

I'm sorry, Mr. Evans, but Miss Watson is
especially indisposed to you.

Ladies and gentlemen, now we want you
all to relax a little bit and have a

little taste, and I'll be right back.

Catch a knock?

What are you kidding, man?

I'm sorry, sir.

It's all right, Chief. Man, I come in to
tell you that place outside is jumping,

and them people are coming on like
gangbusters, man.

Crazy.

Oh, man, if I couldn't appear in my own
place, I know it would be a drag, but

we're going to straighten it out.

That's why I'm bug, right?

Well, if I got my license lifted because
I rapped somebody in the mud, I'd be

bug, too.

You're very bright, Sam.

Jenny?

Jenny.

Well, why don't you get her on the pipe?

Maybe if I call her, she'll talk to me,
huh?

Hold it, John Alden.

She'll talk to me, but only after I
apologize to that big square -up, Sam.

that's beautiful, and then he might
withdraw the charges, and everything

groovy. Why don't you do that, man?

Call him. I did, man, but the cab cut
out.

The place is closed.

Listen, Chief, they just came back.

Well,

I'll talk to them tomorrow. No, no, go
do it now, and then Johnny will talk to

you.

Sam, go on. Let me handle this. Go
ahead, man. The place is jumping.

Go ahead.

Easy now. Easy.

It's a crime to have to paint over her.

Yeah. But it's a bigger crime if they
find her here.

Besides, when they strip off my
painting, she'll be just as good as new.

Come on. Come on. Hurry up. Hurry up.

I know what I'll do. I'll go upstairs
and I'll stick up my hand and I'll say,

Mr. O'Toole, I'd like to apologize.

No, the last time I did that, I belted
that cat.

I'll just go up and ad lib the apology.

Yeah, that'll do.

Please forgive me, Elena. Get on with
it.

You just would lead to murder. Shut up,
you fool.

What are we going to do?

You're going to finish covering that
painting, and I'm going to call the

Are you out of your shambles of mind?

Let's get out of here. I'm going to call
the police and charge our friend here

with breaking and entering.

I'll say he tried to attack me again.

Well, do you think he saw the picture?

Who's going to believe a man charged
with a felony?

Police, I wish to report a crime.

Hey, baby, I'm out glad to see you.

Are you all right?

They said you were unconscious when they
brought you in. I'm fine.

But there's something I have to tell
you.

Something I saw.

Well, will you tell me what you were
trying to do?

I was going to apologize like I promised
you. Sure, that's why you broke the

door down and tried to attack him.

Are you off your wig or something? Well,
Mr. Arturo wouldn't lie.

And besides, I were with you when you
were going to shake hands.

Remember? Look, I walked in and out.

Wait, wait a minute.

You mean you don't believe me and you
believe that creep?

Well, I didn't say that. Well, what are
you saying? Well, that you're hot

-headed and you've got a vile temper and
you're no gentleman.

Don't tell my Sunday school teacher. Oh,
you're hateful.

Jenny, come back here.

Jenny.

Come back there.

It's the fight cell on the right.

Where's the lawyer?

Oh, he's outside signing a paper so we
can bail you out.

Solid. Well, you cats better cut off
because the first show starts in an

See if there's no rush.

What do you mean there's no rush? I told
you a thousand times I want you to

start the show.

On time.

Yeah, I know, I know.

Okay, well, go ahead, blow.

What's the matter with you cats?

Sam?

Well, this, this, uh, uh, commissioner,
he came by the place and he was telling

something about the rules and, uh, uh...
Sam, uh, Sam, Sam, don't have him in

the hall. Lay it on me straight, man.

They closed the club.

Who's they?

The cops.

They said as long as you got this rap
hanging over your head, that it's gonna

stay closed. But I ain't guilty of
nothing.

I know your lawyers are telling it, but
they said after the trial, if you're

innocent, then they'll renew the license
for you.

Yeah, but that's gonna take months, and
that clunker woman, she can cancel the

lease. Yeah, but you got journey pulling
for you.

Which way?

Y 'all should have been on that scene we
had this afternoon.

Yeah, I know. She told me.

When did you see her? I didn't see her,
Chief. She called me and told me about

the license bit.

And so I could get a lawyer.

That's a fine lady, man.

And you know it. And the first thing you
better do when you get out of here is

to tell her that. That's what I'll do,
the first thing, Sam.

Yeah, but there's only one problem.

What's that?

She don't want to ever see or talk to
you no more.

The cat who said steel bars do not
imprison men was a goof. He was never in

of those things.

Give me a dime, Sam.

Yeah, but what if she hangs up?

Well, she was pretty hacked at me. Why
don't you let me go first?

Please?

Well, I'll do anything she says, Sam.

Now, I'm down to talk to that lady.

That's a fine lady, Mom.

Hello? Hello, Jenny.

I'm my best pal's best gal. I'm nobody's
best gal. And if you called me up to

give me that tidbit, then good night.

Now, hold it, Jenny. We just told him
about the club and he's real brought

Now, if he didn't have such a vile
temper, he'd still have the club.

Now, you can tell him from me, Sam, that
I never want to see him again.

Give me that.

Sam?

Sam?

Everybody knows that I love you.

Everybody knows that I love you.

Everybody knows that I finally found the
one girl whose

love I could share.

Everybody knows that you do know.

Everybody knows that you're mine.

Everybody knows because they're hearing
us now.

When I first met you, it was hard to get
you to believe that I

was a Londoner.

you can stop your dream

You catch the split, man. I'll catch y
'all later.

Okay?

Well, maybe I'm gonna stick, huh?

Go ahead and blow, Sam. I got a little
phone to do, man.

Straighten this lady out.

Yes?

There's a Mr. Sam to see you.

Well...

I can't find him. Oh, Sam, I don't have
time to play games. I have a lot of work

to do. Now, this is serious. The boys
and I have been looking all over for him

all morning. Well, he probably went out
and took a long, long walk. Oh, look,

don't you understand he didn't come home
last night?

And we haven't seen him since we bailed
him out of the can.

Well, that just suits me fine. And I
hope I never see him again.

Oh, now, listen, you don't mean that. I
know you had a fight and all of that.

But you know you're the only chick he
really digs.

Well, what am I supposed to do? Jump
with joy at that bit of noose? Well, I'm

telling you something, Sam. I don't dig
him. Why, he's uncouth, and he's got a

vile temper, and he doesn't keep his
word, and... Oh, Sam.

Now, look, don't you worry. We'll find
him.

Did you try the hospital?

Uh -huh.

Sure, we called there first this
morning. He's not there.

In fact, we even tried the morgue. Oh,
Sam.

Now, look, you just cool it, baby. He's
all right. We've just got to find him.

Well? There were a couple of places we
used to go to together.

Yeah? I'll get my coat and we'll try...
Oh, fine.

Oh, excuse me, Jenny.

I didn't realize you had company. Oh,
uh, this is Mr. DeAndre, the florist. We

were here discussing the designs for the
party tomorrow night.

Uh, Miss Clonker, Mr. DeAndre.

Oh, Chante.

Oh, oh, yes. Uh, we were just going to
Mr. DeAndre's office.

For more designs.

By all means.

Jenny, I just came down to tell you that
I've been talking with the mayor's

wife, and they're definitely coming.

Oh, wonderful, Miss Clunker. And that's
not all.

They're bringing a group from the U .N.
Madam, the men outside are waiting. We

must go.

Of course. You two run ahead.

What makes you think that she could be
here?

Well, I can't think of any other place
to go to.

Besides, we've covered every place Louie
and I ever went to.

Well, you can scratch this joint.
There's not a sound in here.

Well, it'll only take a minute.

Louie?

What's your horror, Sam?

Well, you know what they say. Two is
coming and three is a drag.

Don't be so silly, Sam.

We were only saying hello.

Well, I sure like to catch the goodbyes.

Why didn't you tell anyone where you'd
be?

I was brought down, honey.

I had to be alone.

You were gone. We lost the club.

I was in Panigsville.

But there was something I had to tell
you about that Arturo cat. You remember

the night he hit me on the head? Oh,
let's not talk about him. Listen, I

we can have your club reopened real
soon.

When? Siberia? They don't need a license
there.

Well, you let the lady finish. She's got
a groovy plan.

Thank you, Sam.

Now, first, you're going to play at Miss
Clunker's party tomorrow night.

But we don't play minuets.

Sam says you play waltzes.

Yeah, but it hurts.

Don't worry. I'll have them all doing
the twist by the end of the evening.

This I gotta see. Well, Miss Clonker's a
real snob, and if we tell her it's the

rage of Paris, she'll break her back
trying to do it.

Who do you know from Paris that can lay
that kind of line on her?

Sally the trombonist will put a beard on
him and let him do it.

I don't even understand him when he
speaks English. That's what I mean.

Listen, he won't play at the beginning
of the evening. I'll bring him in later.

I can't figure out what Liz has got to
do with the opening of the club.

Well, the mayor will be there, and I'll
talk to him, and you just play your

music real sweet.

Sweet, honey?

We'll have Garland Baller biting his
fingernails.

of having those people here. Oh, please,
Miss Funko, I'd like... I've never been

so humiliated in my life.

And when those musicians leave tonight,
see that you leave with them. Oh, the

best offer you've ever had. Well,
listen, the guests are really enjoying

music. I can forgive you that.

But when you palm off a musician as Mr.
D 'Entrier and have him kiss my hand...

Well, really, Miss Watson, that was
unforgivable.

Here, this will take care of you until
the end of the month.

You may pack now and leave whenever it's
convenient. You don't have to wait.

Enchante.

Enchante.

Bonsoir, madame. Bonsoir, monsieur.

Enchante.

Enchante.

Madame, the United Nations will hear
about this.

Leticia. Oh, yes, Mr. Mayor. Didn't I
see Mr. Dubois of the French delegation

moment ago? Where is he?

Oh, um, I think he left something in his
car. Oh, Jenny.

Jenny, we'll see that he gets right
back. Oh, Jenny Dean.

I just made a terrible mistake.

I slapped the French delegate and he
left. Please get him back here.

Miss Clonker, you just fired him. Well,
I'm just hiring you again. Now go, now.

He'll be right back, Mr. Mayor.

Well, he'll be missing one of the best
parties of the year if he isn't.

Do you think you'll be running for re
-election next year?

No, I came here to enjoy myself and not
talk business with you.

I'll ask you a question.

How would you like to dance with me?

I'm not sure.

Oh, I see my secretary's bringing
Monsieur Dubois back.

I'm afraid Monsieur Dubois had to leave
in a hurry.

However, Monsieur Bergeon is able to
remain.

Monsieur.

I shall pay.

The shame Monsieur Dubois has seen.

Do you find our dancing amusing?

No, no, no.

It's just that it's your style of
dancing.

I was in Paris a couple of years ago,
and that's the way they were dancing.

A couple of years ago, oui.

But today, everyone does le twist.

Le twist?

Oui, le twist.

You think you could show it to us?

Perhaps. If the musicians can play the
music.

Those musicians can play any style of
music.

Can't say, Jenny.

But not the music, poor Latrice.

Well, why don't we ask them?

What are you trying to do?

Scare them off?

I was playing a tune.

So cool, you almost froze the whole
deal. Come on.

Here comes the poor man's alley.

Ladies and gentlemen, the gracious Miss
Clunker has persuaded Mr. Bergeron to

demonstrate the latest dance, Chris,
from Paris, The Twist.

And he will demonstrate with Miss
Watson.

If you can play it.

You've seen the new look and you've
heard the new sound.

Now the confident quick baby is in your
town.

I want you to know.

I want you to know.

I'm a great, great...

We'd like for you to relax and with your
kind indulgence and attention, we'll do

a little show for you.

Bonjour. Hey, come here, bonjour.

Give me the tumble. Besides doing the
twist, you can do the little bone.

One,

two, three.

I'm saying, ladies and gentlemen, not so
loud, ma 'am. I'm talking.

Seeing that you nice ladies and
gentlemen from all parts of the globe,

to tell you a little story about a trip
Sam and me made. Me and Sam, we went on

this long trip. It was a...

Well, we had our vacation about three
and a half months ago, and we decided to

go seven months ago. About seven months
ago, we had a three -year vacation.

Fourteen years ago. Fourteen years ago.

Eighteen years ago.

Thirteen years ago. It was one or two
years ago.

We were little children, our mothers and
fathers.

Anyway, we went all the way to the
Orient, and we had a lot of fun, a lot

surprises, and our biggest surprise...
came when the plane landed in Tel Aviv.

That was a swinging

place, Tel Aviv. There was a couple of
little cats from the hot club of Israel

met us at the plane. One of them fell
ahead on a little skullcap.

A headpiece.

And the other cat was...

The other cat was from Shoe.

He says, I just come from a cool shoe.

He had a loaf of Papa Nickel under one
arm, a string of Thai and sausage in the

other hand. He wasn't taking no chances.

He says, I'll take you two cats from Las
Vegas. And they put us in a Jeep and

brought us to the hotel.

And, well, they give Sam a room. They
give me a room.

And about 6 o 'clock that evening, I was
in my room putting on my baby oil.

And I heard a knock on the door. It was
him, and he was out there.

Lay, lay below.

Lay. Lay. I said,

who's that? He said, Sam Malone.

I said, what happened to you? He said,
the little fellow with the puffer nickel

invited us to a swinging place in the
desert and said to get there real early.

Well, folks, believe me.

We had so much fun at this place.

Sam came home, he wrote this little
letter and sealed it in a little can and

threw the can out in case anything
happened to us on the way home. Somebody

would find it and read about us. This
tells a story about... Read the letter.

Read the letter.

You wrote it, read it.

Read everything on it.

Watch when you come to come, you raise
your voice.

When you come to period, you drop.

Two periods, you're on your own.

Come on, tell them the story.

Come on, man.

They told us where, and off we went.

And when we got there, it was a tent. We
gave the word. We gave the word.

We were scared and we ain't foolin'.

But man, we knew. We gained control.

Our password was... Passo Faso.

Upon a stand sat 40 cats. A crazy band.

And terrible hands.

13 drums.

24...

The lights grew dim, and a chick came
on. And she looked at him, and he was

gone. I was a wreck.

Began to shake.

Around her neck, she wore a snake.

But we ended up cooling, cooling, while
she kept on a -ooling.

She called that snake, by name I swear,
and the reptile made water.

Lucky Pierre.

She advanced and dropped two veils.

With her eyes he kept on doing this.

She said to him, He's grown damn good.

Take off more.

She never stopped and danced toward me.

And then she dropped.

I don't know.

Won't you do the twist for me?

Won't you do the...

Who's on that wants to see me?

Um, yeah.

I'm in the mail, man.

Play something, guys.

I think I'm a pretty good judge of a
man's character.

Now, just reinstate it. That's an order.

Oh, Mr. Evans, I want to thank you for a
most delightful evening.

Thank you, Your Honor.

If you want to thank anyone, it should
be these two ladies.

They've been telling me all about your
troubles and what I should do about it.

Thank you very much, Miss Clunker. It's
quite all right, Lewis.

They've convinced me to allow your club
to reopen. And I just told the

commissioner on the phone to restore
your licenses at midnight.

Gee, that's wonderful. Thank you, sir,
very much.

You haven't thanked Miss Watson yet.

Come in.

Now I remember.

I saw your picture.

Well, everyone did. It was in the
newspaper when it was stolen.

Yeah, but I saw it in a tourist place.
That other little cat was painting over

it. You mean Julius?

Yeah, that's the reason they slugged me
that night.

They didn't know whether I saw it or
not.

Are you sure, Louis? I'm positive.

Oh, Louis.

I could kiss you. Get me the police.

Oh. Oh, I'm so... I'm so... I never...
Well, you see, I didn't...

Come here.

Colleen.

Yeah?

It's a foolproof scheme, he says.

We can't get caught.

By Aunt Philomena's foot.

I told you a thousand times. Oh, shut
up, Julius.

You want to know something?

I'm going to tell them I didn't know I
was painting over stolen pictures. Tell

them anything you like.

You know, I still can't understand how
they caught us. I told you, just before

you clapped that Evans over the head, he
saw the Lady Elena.

But you'd already covered most of it.
All he could see was her legs.

Well, a fellow like him, that's the
first thing he notices.

Love, Paul Edgerton.

Thank you very much. We appreciate your
kindness.

Ladies and gentlemen, the grand
reopening of our club was due to the

efforts of our wonderful man and the
patron of the arts, Letitia Plunkett.

And you are twisting here tonight
because they did

culture.

What is it, baby? I want to talk to you.

Well, don't whisper. Come on up here.
These are all my friends.

To tell you the truth, folks, I wouldn't
be here tonight if it wouldn't be for

this fine lady.

This one is a fine, pretty one.

Well, the streets are jammed with people
wanting to do the twist.

Crazy. And there's a contingent from the
same social club. Either you go out or

they're coming in.

You hear that, Your Honor? The people
are dancing in the streets. How about

giving us permission for one of those
old -fashioned... Twisting block

Permission granted.

How about that?

I'll let me and the boys go first.
Otherwise, we'll never get out. And

going to do a new arrangement for a fine
group of youngsters.

Oh, when the date. Oh, when the date.
We're twisting in. We're twisting in.

When the state, when the state, vote
with the men, vote with the men.
