I just want you to understand, that my life has been different.

Can you give me a chance yet?

Will I try again?

Please.

Can we try again?

You need to give our take you to the hospital.

No, Geri. Harold is coming. - Where the hell is he?

She could not leave the between the golf tour.

Vivi, get my bag. This little one does not wait for Harold.

And you are not able to. Come on, we gotta go.

Not! I am waiting for Harold!

Mom, are you doing on the floor grooves.

Is it a boy or a girl? - He was waiting for you for hours.

Are you all right? Dottie?

After all, all right? - It's a girl. He is doing well.

Thank you does not belong to you.

Take a look at him.

2780 grams.

I gave him the name of Harolyn. We call him Lynniksi.

Harold wanted to send him to private girls' school in Switzerland.

He believed that the girl would be able to learn French.

France!

He always had big dreams.

Larger than ours.

Lynn, my dear. Can you talk about with Dr. Carrington?

Lynn, can you say "mother"?

Say mother. Some children learn to speak skillful late.

Mrs. Nicholas, this is difficult. He ??will never speak.

None. I have been to many a doctorate at and I have the drugs.

A doctor suggested sedatives, stimulants second.

I bargained her forehead every morning such as Dr. Grace told.

Dr Matthews believed a hot bath. She is bathed every night.

Then he underwent tests. The solution was injected into the spine.

The doctor said that in his should eat more.

They were qualified doctors. - If they were valid, why are you here?

Since no one has told... I get my child how to say mother.

Dorothy, Lynn is a mentally- left. It is anoksinen brain damage.

He received little oxygen synnytyk. - Tion. -I came late to the hospital.

Was it my fault? -No. No one knows what causes it.

But it was certainly not nothing to do with it.

What is the treatment work? Money is not the problem.

His brain does not develop in ever. He ??will remain for ever 4-year-old level.

But they said that... - I'm sorry.

I am a mother.

My advice is to put him to a nursing home, where is the best possible care.

I can not do that. - You are young, you can have more children.

Lynn. Lynn, my dear, try a different note.

Come on, baby. There are other notes, you can use to call the.

We should do as the doctor said, and put her in a nursing home.

The state will pay. - What does it cost?

Our children belongs to us. - We belong to Paris.

Where we belong. - Paris? What are you talking about?

Dottie, there is completely different. Black and white makes no distinction.

If you are separated, they treat us better -I can not change it.

Lynn needs treatment. Order then!

Non institutional environment.

He did not even know that we are here

I can not believe that you say that.

When you join followed me out there? - I am his mother and his father are you.

I got married with you. I do this.

I have this. What are you? - I'm Harold Nicholas...

...The Nicholas Brothers. Maybe it is all that I need to be.

I will send you the money in Paris.

The best part was that the girl did not know he left.

So the girl did not need him to ever.

How many times have I said, that the next man would be different?

It's funny, you never find the good when they should.

Tell me, can we keep Tobacco a break?

Look at this place. - I asked the waitress for your phone.

They did not get it off the wall.

Here you can drink properly. Yesterday one guy staggered out.

Uniformed He ran into the man and said...

I can not occur here. - At least they paid for.

Find the owner and say that I do not appear on this in the disaster area.

Really? The owner is there. If you want to destroy your career, you said it yourself.

Right. So I do. - Dorothy, wait! I'm kidding.

Let me handle this. Mr. Scott?

There you are. Free from below. -I am the manager...

I do not exist. -No, if he has to go back through the door...

Or use the cups! - Or use the cups.

Since I've been unemployed for 2 years. What about your last big role?

Bright Road? It was an important film.

Whom? It hit records in the south, lowest ticket income.

Thank you, Vivian. It was the finishing touch to my viikolleni.

I have a really good day.

Okay, I'll tell you. Fox makes Bizetin movie Carmen.

The text is Oscar Hammerstein.

That's right, I did not say... that they use only black actors and actresses.

Do you know how many people want the role? Lena Horne, Eartha Kitt, all!

It's the best role for many by a black actress.

He's Carmen. "La Vie un-Roses" situation, they divided the Kinsey report...

...When she was so sexy. - It was in New York, not Hollywood.

I've seen two of his last film,

Do not bother. The tail is squeezed banana hats a year.

Do not bother. Let him at least experimental Preminger occur.

Only one audition Otto Preminger?

Do you know what I do every morning?

I get up at 05.00 in the darkness and up the studio.

On the way I see your face. On billboards and signs.

Well-known faces. Famous faces Film Star's face.

The face that I see through the window will occur in experimental Preminger.

Have I ever seen my car Dorothy Dandridge's face?

Good night.

I wonder... why Joe Young allows me to test occur?

He probably saw your face in his car window one morning.

- Really? - Seriously.

Preminger Lord will see you now.

What is it? - From this moment, I have always dreamed of.

Audition Preminger? - Possibility.

Let me handle this, right?

Mr. Preminger?

Mr. Preminger. May I introduce... Carmen Jones.

Carmen Jones?

None. He must not occur in a test- for the role of Cindy Lou.

Cindy Lou? Is not it cute it is a girl who left because of Carmen?

This must be a misunderstanding.

Ms Dandridge is test Carmen for instance.

You came to my office, but you do not brought to Carmen, but yourself.

Please, little girl, nice gloves.

You try to test the presence of wild- woman's role. You are not Carmen.

You Cindy Lou. - Dorothy is an actress.

If you give him the opportunity to... - This is the end of the matter.

Do you know what you are, Mr. Preminger ? Buldogi.

A large, fat buldogi you are.

Why did you invite me? - Buldogiksi.

He is... nervous.

Thank you for your time. Cindy Lou.

We think about Cindy Louta.

He is on every page. - Look at this!

You should be grateful. I I do not get a single audition.

I do not want to play the role of Cindy Louta. - Are you going to just give up?

He did not give me this opportunity., If it is waiting, it will become difficult.

My dear, you need to get your chance to Think of Carmen.

He ??is just about sex.

She looks sexy and smells of sex.

He even moves the same way as sex.

It is the right way. Use the tools, who's mother gave you.

You need to go there Carmen. Buldogi does not permit the occurrence of the test.

We do not talk to audition, but walking.

You can get the role! - Walking.

Have you seen my husband?

That's Carmen Jones stole from him.

I do not know at all what to do about it

I can not decide seuratako him...

...Or should I wait...

...That he will come back a happy home.

Tell me what I do. I am Cindy Lou.

No, you hell no.

I was Carmen.

Miss Dandridge, do you want this or that?

Do you remember the opera singer, who was hired to sing for me?

As they were doing.

Then I woke up one morning and I could not breathe.

What are you talking about? Does not he make a movie?

Alan shoot tomorrow. Where is he?

He refuses. He does not want to antagonize black community.

Angry black community. It's ridiculous!

The first all-black film a big film released by a company.

And he plays a black hooker. None-whore, but a woman!

Otto... a critic hinted that Hollywood image black women...

Either as servants or prostituoitui - Na. -Your prejudices are confused.

At first the company refused, because all were black.

Then they were going to do it, but only if approved by the NAACP.

Now, Miss Dandridge does not want to do it, even if the NAACP, and the company they want.

One man, who wrote the article one does not accept it.

The girl is scared, is not it?

Yes. Terror-stricken.

Otto... you did not have it son of a bitch, who you look to?

This gentleman is someone that you or no one else will know.

Earl, get lost! I have already made a decision.

Here is Earl, will open.

Miss Dandridge...

Call Dorothy . Multi-director in violation of home peace will do so.

I refuse to play Carmen. - I showed that I can get the role.

There is no need to play the role now .

You might not be good enough to play the role of.

Maybe you do not have talent. - I is greater ability than the other.

You can not find a better Carmen. - We know that you can do it.

It you're not afraid. But the gamble.

What the fuck do you know? - The film is a gamble for me.

If it does not work like everyone says that I am goon who thinks...

to be able to do the whole black musical If I succeed, I'm a genius.

Do you know how I know, that it will work?

Because I have a Carmen.

I have you.

What if they do not like about me? - They will love you!

I get them to love you.

I may be old buldogi... bald- p�inenkin. But this part of me.

I did not mean to say so. - It's all right. I know I'm ugly.

My gift is to bring beauty to the world.

I know the women. I know how to illustrate and describe them.

How to create them in white cloth for.

If you enable, for you to seduce the public.

I will make sure that no one will ever forget the name of Dorothy Dandridge.

I get the name to shine brighter than minutes all lamps here.

Our town.

Otto... thou shalt not so ugly.

Sir, we are ready. Are you? - Are we ready? I do not think so.

This has to be here, move it. Food must smoke!

It's hot, not cold. What do these flowers mean? What a joke!

We do not have a restaurant, but the army canteen.

This is a red, red I do not see anyone. Give her a blue scarf.

Forget about it. Where is my coffee?

Is a cup of coffee too much to ask? Where is Miss Dandridge?

He is still the locker room. - Please tell me that we are ready.

Command the him here. Not bad. Delay in the first day.

Who else here is too late? - Otto...

Who the hell are you? Out of the way.

Good day, Miss Dandridge. - Day, Mr. Preminger.

Rule number one: Do not be late descriptions.

I got it. Silence! This will be a movie, make it good.

Just like I said, such as train- teltiin. Have a nice discussion on food.

No extra sounds. Not cutlery clinking.

All right, go to your seats!

You look as good as I do.

I try to offer you a three film contract.

Then you play the role of an Italian girl.

Then, a Mexican girl. Then, after two years...

You are loved so that they beg you to White's role.

You will become a huge star, Dorothy. Huge.

You can not change your mind. Paiskasit hands with Zanuck.

The man and five cents colored woman can not get anywhere.

Miss Dandridge, I've been looking for you. We have a new director.

- Who is it? - Miss Dandridge!

We have been around for a while in place. - I just came by yourself.

I have seen the working copies. Behind the scenes it is not credible.

It is almost laughable. - That was not necessary.

Could you focus directing the film, Mr. Poitier?

Can you please?

So... In this scene you have just been raped.

You should be shocked. Broken!

On the other hand you have strut around like a queen.

You use glyseriinikyyneleit�, because you're too lazy to cry himself.

You are pathetic. What happened to you?

Before you were beautiful. Now, you do not have any.

If you are going to ruin the film, even weeping brat...

I am your friend and say, that you have time to focus on your career.

And while one white man.

Jack?

He was a child. But he left his mother's and child starving to death.

He's a fraud. I hired a private detective.

Dennison is worthless.

Sometimes, standing at the edge of the gap between and then jump.

Then skipped because of being fed on fear

Sometimes it just jumps to what is seen as falling feeling.

Jack?

Hi, honey.

Clock is four. Should You may need to wear?

I am wearing. Dressed for the job, which I do - nothing.

When I get the club back so I dress.

I am not trying to start a fight. Do you want something else to drink?

What are pukisin on me? - You have your day, your evening. What do you want to.

What do you mean? Did I lose set containing bathrobe sitting in a club?

None. If you want to keep a morning coat, so then hold.

I lost it because of that you sang with an audience.

You had to know the people, but you do do not know anybody. -I made a loss there.

You're never paid. - Are you saying that I destroyed your career?

Not! I say that you need sedatives. - Ment. Nag-only set containing bathrobe.

Geri discovered this.

I wrote this, because I do do not want anyone to see me.

I do not want them to see me like this , Earl.

When I die, tuhkatkaa me immediately.

Do not let anyone stare at me, remember me like this.

I do not want anyone seeing me.

My hands start to shake. - Let me hold them.

I'm so glad you're here. I am so ugly.

No, you're beautiful. - Give me the pills.

Let me... I stop you shaking.

Are you all right?

You're out of date.

Angel Face.

It may be due to broken ankle.

Bone marrow flakes may need to be the bloodstream, causing blood clots.

Easy answer is usually correct. On the dresser is Tofrinol-jar.

Probably he took an overdose. - I beg your pardon. Excuse me!

He did not want to be in tuijotusten -Boys, wait outside.

Mr. Mills, wait in another room . -He did not kill himself!

Hollywood mourns Dorothy Dand- ridgea, the singer-actress.

Miss Dandridge was best known for her role Carmen Jonesina.

Coroner, he died Tofrinolin overdose.

They did not want to establish whether the event of accident or suicide.

He will Harolyn-daughter. Miss Dandridge was 42 years old.

Don't even stop to take your makeup off.

Get down to the side entrance. The cops are waiting.

Alan, if you're gonna pull any kind of a trick this time...

I told you, the car's at the curb.

The cops are waiting to get you to it.

What could I possibly pull?

Besides, no one knows what exit you're going out.

Come on.

What a crowd!

How'd they know I was coming out this way?

You got me, Arnie. I don't know.

Well, what do you expect?

When they see four cops rush in, they figure something's cooking.

You did it again. You set it up.

I...

You better get out, Mr. Haines.

The longer you wait the harder it's gonna be.

That's right.

Let him through. Let him through!

Arnie!

Give me a break, will you?

I did five shows today and I forgot to take my vitamin pills this morning.

Okay, honey, cut loose.

My purse!

Somebody stole my purse!

Help! Help, somebody! Stop the thief!

Somebody stole my purse!

That should get you the Academy Award.

Help! Police! Stop the thief!

When he came in, Mr. Freed stopped by the desk and said you might be in need of this.

Alan's here already?

He and others.

Lots of others, a veritable multitude.

Who?

Oh, I don't know, Mr. Haines.

But to me, it sure looks like trouble.

Boy, that guy is just murder.

Take care of the car for me, will you?

It's Arnie!

What's going on here?

Mr. Haines, my name is Tina Stephens.

Oh, hi.

I'm president of the Arnie Haines Fan Club Number 206.

Well, I'm always happy to meet new friends, but I hardly expected to find anyone here.

Mr. Haines, we came all the way in from Philadelphia just to see you.

Some of the kids are from your hometown.

I know. I've seen them.

But it wasn't possible to get into the theater.

So we thought we could see you here.

You did right, honey.

Arnie is always glad to say hello.

We thought you might autograph one of your records for us.

Just to prove to the other kids back home that we really talked to you.

Sure. I'd be glad to.

But maybe you fellows and gals could do me a favor.

You name it.

Well, tell me, what's all the shooting about?

Why do people like yourselves want to see me or talk to me?

Because you're Arnie Haines.

You stay out of this. You...

I'm sorry. You tell me, please.

Golly, Mr. Haines...

maybe it's the way you sing, or the beat or something.

You don't really know, though, do you?

Isn't it enough that we want to see you and talk to you?

Sure, and I'm grateful, brown eyes. Thank you.

Will you autograph the record?

Sure, is it the one on the machine?

Somebody got a pen?

I got one, Arnie.

Now, in a nice, bold hand.

"What's all the shooting about?" Brother.

I'm not through with you yet.

Here you go. Here, it's yours.

And thank you.

Thank you very much for coming up...

and anytime you're in New York, you come in again.

You hear? I'm glad to see you. Really.

Gee, thanks, Mr. Haines. We will.

Bye~

Be careful going home, now.

What are you trying to do, get us thrown out of the hotel...

so you can get more of that idiotic publicity?

Alan, tonight's the last straw.

Arnie, you gotta do these things.

You never wanna string along with me, so...

You'll make a freak out of me whether I like it or not.

Look, everybody's trying to get into the newspapers, Arnie.

You gotta push the other guy aside and make news.

He seems to think that me running around in my underwear,

or getting... thrown out of a hotel is news.

Now, does that sound like news to you guys?

Oh, if you were Kim Novak, it might.

Oh, very funny.

Look, fellows, listen to me...

Arnie's right, Alan.

Maybe you have had a lot to do with us getting where we are, sure.

But you're getting everything all twisted out of shape.

You think nothing's more important than getting in the papers.

Listen, that's free publicity. That's our bread and butter.

Bread and butter, my foot.

We ate better back on the farm in Mellondale.

And we had more fun clobbering a guitar and drums there than we've ever had since.

And don't tell us about the money we're making.

With you hounding the agency like a scared rabbit, trying to get us work...

like there's not gonna be a tomorrow, we're lucky we get any sleep.

Let alone a chance to spend some of that money on a little pleasure.

What are you trying to do, make us the richest guys in the Mellondale cemetery?

Yeah, man. There just ain't no rock and roll music for a harp.

What do you guys want?

I'll tell you what I'd like.

I'd like some of those fresh-caught lobster and crab from back home.

Steamed clams, a weenie roast at the beach.

I want to lie on my back, look up at the sky...

and listen to the folks talk about all that good rain they get for their crops.

That, and getting my own eggs out of the henhouse...

a watermelon out of the field.

You sound like you're hungry.

I know what he means.

We haven't seen our folks in over two years.

Tag? Dave?

That's right.

Are you really serious about going home?

Well, how about it?

No more work until September.

We'll spend all July and August back in Mellondale and really live it up.

Oh, Mammy, steam up those clams!

Yeah, that's for me.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

What about all those bookings we've got scheduled for this summer?

$80.000 worth.

Cancel them.

Cancel them?

That's right.

How can we cancel out on those dates, Arnie?

If not for the money, for all the good will

We'd be losing in every town we're supposed to play in.

I tell you, Arnie, we'd be letting them down.

Not if we can get another act to take over some of those bookings.

Who?

Well, maybe Bill Haley would play ball with us.

Sure, we've done him some favors.

Hey, Bill's rehearsing over at Brownie's tonight.

Come on, Alan, let's go see him right now.

Hey, just one thing.

Huh?

Who's your tailor?

You guys are murder.

I'll be dressed in a minute.

Man, they really go, boy.

Really something, huh?

Hi, Alan.

Hi, Billy.

Hi, Arnie.

Gee, you were just great. Just great.

Oh, Zee. Thanks.

You know, I don't know whether I ought to speak to you guys or not.

Why is that?

The only way I can get more publicity than you...

is to go up Broadway without my underwear.

Yeah, well, the next time it'll be Alan here doing the Lady Godiva, not Arnie Haines.

Say, Bill, I know you're going into the Castle Theatre next week.

But what are your plans after that?

Well, just a few recordings we have to make.

Hey, maybe you can do us a favor.

Can you take over some of our dates?

Man, you can't retire.

The government needs your taxes.

No, just a little vacation. Man, I'm tired.

Well, it's possible, Arnie.

I'll have my manager get in touch with your booking office in the morning.

I think it can be worked out.

Good. That's swell.

Anytime we can repay the favor, you just let us know.

How about listening to my new tune.

Goofin' Around? See if you dig it.

Sold.

Love to hear it, Bill.

Well, park yourselves.

Sit down, Arnie.

Thanks.

Hello?

Yeah, this is Alan Freed.

Oh, hi, Harry.

Yeah.

I told you you'd get a great story if you sent a man to cover the Haines show.

But, man, I got an even greater one for you now.

Yeah, the king is going home.

It's the greatest rags-to-riches yarn you've ever had.

It beats them all.

Cinderella, Horatio Alger.

Man, it's a natural, Harry.

"The triumphant return of Arnie Haines to his hometown.

"A town which Arnie Haines left as a farm boy and comes back to as a king. "

Well, we made it.

You sure you won't be angry with me?

With my own mother?

Well, it's being done, you know.

Psychiatrists are blaming parents for everything these days.

It's really quite the thing to be angry with one's mother.

However, I'm sure I'll give you plenty of cause

before I'm through with your Mr. Arnie Haines.

Mother...

Now, Francie, you wanted to come with me. That was all right.

But I've got a job to do.

I'm gonna write about Arnie Haines exactly as I see him.

And I've gotta ask you not to interfere.

Well, well, well, if it isn't the competition.

What's a genuine columnist doing at this wingding?

Let's just say I'm getting pains from Arnie Haines.

You drive all the way here?

Yeah. I thought it'd be a nice vacation for my daughter and myself.

The glamor boy due in soon?

Any minute.

My daughter, Francine, boys.

Hi.

How do you do?

And don't get any ideas.

She doesn't go for anyone who doesn't wear an Arnie Haines button.

Well, you'd better find a new hero, Miss MacLaine.

Anybody your mother doesn't like generally winds up in the tail end of nowhere.

My mother says her column is always fair.

We'll see.

Now, baby, you're taking all this too seriously. Relax.

Hey, what is this?

Looks pretty clear to me, boss.

Arnie!

Mr. Haines.

Mayor Bagley.

Hi, Sis.

How's Mom?

She's fine.

I didn't think anyone knew I was coming except my folks.

Your parents thought it best to wait at your home.

But if you want my advice, you'll take the next train back to New York.

Hey, wait a minute.

It's okay. Relax.

You want to keep me out of my hometown? Why?

I tell you, Mr. Haines, and we the people of Mellondale...

consider your so-called music outrageous.

Rock and roll is for morons!

You've seen the moral effect it's having on our younger generation.

And I say again, it's outrageous! Depraved!

Well, what's depraved about dancing?

We want Arnie! We want Arnie!

Stop it! Stop it!

Stop it!

I will not tolerate such behavior in this town.

Go home!

Children should be seen and not heard.

Boy, there's a quote from the Middle Ages.

Look, Mayor, the boys and I just came home for a rest, that's all.

We're not here to perform.

Now, if you don't bother us, we won't bother you.

I have no legal right to keep you out of town.

But I want to warn you.

Just one, one exhibition to ruin the morals of our younger people...

Just one toot.

And out you go.

Please stay. Don't go.

I suppose you think that the Mayor is right.

If I said yes, you'd think I'm not being fair.

Let's just say, "no comment. "

Come on, let's get back to the hotel.

Arnie, you don't mean that you're gonna let that old windbag stop you from performing here.

He's not stopping me. I told the truth.

The boys and I just came home to rest up for the summer.

Now, look, let's forget the whole thing. It's really not important.

Oh, but we think it's important.

We're human beings, too, aren't we?

We've got some rights.

Look, if we don't break the law.

Bagley can't tell us what to do or what not to do.

You can't get...

Davey Loman, you get on home, before I take a stick to you.

Ma, I'm 17.

In that case, I'll have to get a bigger stick.

Gettin'.

The Mayor was right.

Arnie Haines, you stay away from our kids.

Look, kids, thanks.

Thanks a million for being here.

I really appreciate it, but I guess...

You'd all better get home before there's more trouble. Thanks.

Come on, break it up.

"Go home for a rest", he says.

"Lie on the beach, look at the sky...

"Get eggs right out of the henhouse. "

We laid one big, fat, beautiful egg here today.

Come on, let's get out of here.

My suitcase.

Hey, look, you guys aren't gonna print what happened here today, are you?

Now, Alan, you started this.

You're the one who invited the newspaper people out here.

Okay. Now let them print what they came for.

Even if we did give you a break... Arline MacLaine won't.

MacLaine?

She writes that column. She's here?

She sure is.

The World as seen by Arline MacLaine.

And since you happen to be part of this world, Haines,

she's gonna take you apart.

But why? What have we done to her?

Well, she sounds as though you give her nervous indigestion.

It could be something about her daughter, though.

I just thought I'd tip you off.

Thanks.

My kid dances that stuff, same as the other kids.

I don't see anything wrong in it.

Just thought I'd tell you.

Thank you very much.

Well, maybe we ought to go back to New York.

The worst that can happen to us there is we get hit by a truck.

Yeah.

I'm staying.

If these folks are gonna keep thinking like this...

how do you think it's gonna be for our folks who have to live here?

How do you expect to change their minds?

I have plenty of time to think about that.

I'm going home to see my folks.

Yeah. So am I.

We'll see you at your house after dinner.

Okay. Good idea. Yeah.

So long, fellows.

Arnie, I'm sorry.

I'm not.

I tell you, I was beginning to think maybe I am some kind of a freak.

They called me everything but that today.

I guess that makes me normal, huh?

See you after dinner, too?

Sure, Arnie.

Come on, Molly.

Okay. See you tonight, Alan.

Bye, honey.

Bye.

They do make a cute couple, don't they?

In the old days, the kids used their energy for picking corn.

Hey, maybe we ought to go inside and get cheered up.

Let's go. Come on.

Good.

That must be the rest of the kids.

I'll get it.

Hey! Hi, fellows.

It's the boys! Hi, Alan!

Hello!

Hi, Chas! Tag, how are you?

Hey, fellows. How about that?

What are you, a Benedict Arnold or something?

Playing a Bill Haley record here?

We have to.

All the Arnie Haines records are worn out.

Try Haines' home. To heck with the beach.

And to heck with old Bagley!

Come on! Let's go!

Yeah, you got the rock, all right.

But I think your roll just stripped a gear.

I was on my way to the beach when I heard the music.

I thought you were inside.

I saw you through the window.

We don't always have people gamboling on the green out here.

This is purely clinical research.

I'm only interested in cause and effect, Mr. Haines.

The effect seems evident, and the modus operandi seems clear...

but the cause really eludes me.

Hey, hold on. Would you play that chorus over in a different key?

What I mean is...

It just seems like dancing to me.

Why are people like my mother and the Mayor so steamed up?

Your mother?

Oh, I'm Francine MacLaine. My mother writes a newspaper column.

That MacLaine.

What'd she do? Send you out here for more material to slug me with?

Hardly.

She doesn't think you belong in the company of nice little girls.

Well, so long, Miss MacLaine.

Wait a minute.

I didn't say that was my opinion.

I'd like to talk to you.

What about?

My mother's column appears in about 150 newspapers.

If she blasts you, man, you're blasted good.

I'd like to try and change her mind.

Hey, you on the level?

There's a principle involved.

Teenagers are almost adults.

They're entitled to their own opinions not what somebody dictates for them.

So you think your mother could make me or break me, huh?

Her column always manages to stir up something.

It's like living inside of a hurricane.

But I wouldn't want it to even try and hurt you.

Maybe we should both go to the beach.

It'll be nice and quiet there.

We can have a man-to-man talk.

Sure. Man to man.

I'll get a suit. Will you wait for me?

Go ahead. Sing it.

That was lovely.

I didn't know you could sing that kind of a song.

The people who buy my records like rock and roll.

The public always decides what kind of entertainment it's going to get.

It's a business, just like any other business.

Oh, that's for sure.

You know, I've come to the conclusion that

rock and roll is a symptom of the young people.

Asserting themselves for their right to do things as they think fit.

They resent the wrong kind of discipline by parents.

Parents would never understand that.

Sometimes people assert themselves in the wrong way.

How did you get so smart at your age, little girl?

Isn't that beside the point?

Pretty, too.

And you couldn't have spent your time in beauty parlors.

Thank you.

You know, for two years I've been wondering what all the shooting is about.

What people really see in the way I sing.

You just told me.

I did?

Sure. It isn't me at all.

Arnie Haines is just a name.

If it weren't Arnie Haines, it'd be somebody else.

Kids just pick somebody like me and wave me like a flag.

They wanna hold me in front of their parents' noses

like a pair of red britches in front of a bull.

Of course. That's it.

Miss MacLaine, you're all right.

Boy, I've been thinking for so long about...

Why did you kiss me?

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't even know I had...

You know, you shouldn't look like that if you don't want to be kissed.

Strictly a sex attraction, wasn't it?

Are you serious?

Mother's kept boys away from me as if they had rabies.

She once read where wolves get rabies like dogs.

I'm sure that must mean something.

I found it quite profound.

Kissing you, I mean.

You're right. It is profound.

Maybe we'd better just talk for a while.

Yeah, and keep talking.

Arnie, I think you should play your rock and roll music at a public function.

What for?

So that my mother can see for herself

that your music isn't detrimental to young people.

Oh, no deal. Bagley would run us out of town.

It doesn't have to be in Mellondale.

What if your mother doesn't like what she sees?

Why couldn't my mother have been the kind who just sits home and does knitting?

Seems to me, though, we have nothing to lose.

If we don't do it, she's gonna clobber us anyway.

I know we can change her mind.

And if we do, she won't stop working until she makes things right.

All right. I'll talk to the boys.

If they go along with it, we'll run the dance.

Probably in Friesville the next town.

I think rabies are just wonderful.

Give me the out-of-town papers.

Yes, sir.

Let me see my little...

Yeah, keeping one.

Look at this. "Rock and roll barred by Haines' home town. "

Wow. "Rock and Roll Revolt. "

Every one of them.

Coast-to-coast frame-up.

Right across the country.

We're dead.

Services will be held in five minutes.

Now what?

Hey, there's one I got to see in particular.

What is it?

Herald Tribune.

Yeah, here it is, right here.

On the back page, it always is.

Boy, she doesn't pull any punches.

Bad, huh?

Now what are we gonna do?

We're gonna turn the other cheek, and let her take a sock at that, too.

We're inviting the lady to a dance.

Come on, let's go to Friesville.

Here you are. Keep the change.

Thanks a lot.

Here, have a good look, Bill.

Arnie Haines has ruined us.

Every booking we had across the country's been canceled.

Well, how do you like that?

He wants a vacation, so he takes us all with him.

Thanks for bringing me the good news.

There it is.

The Mayor owns this place.

Gee, I hope it works out.

Come on, let's see if he's around.

All right.

We're looking for Mr. Everett.

Well, I'm Tom Everett. Something I can do for you?

My name is Freed, and this is Arnie Haines.

Arnie Haines!

Oh, the rock and roll fellow?

There's only one, Dad.

Meet my daughter, Sunny.

She likes to come down and sing and dance with the band once in a while.

How do you do, Miss Everett?

Hello.

I've been reading about you in the papers, Mr. Haines.

Well, that's why we came to talk to you, sir.

Oh?

We'd like to put on a special rock and roll show here some Saturday night.

Man, that'd be the coolest!

Arnie Haines, right here in Friesville!

Whoa, now, honey, not so fast.

You can make more money in one night than all summer long.

Well, Mellondale's five times bigger than we are

and Friesville depends on Mellondale for a lot of business.

If Mayor Bagley was to get mad...

Oh, Dad, you don't have to kowtow to old Bagley one bit.

Why, every kid in town thinks he's stupid for banning Arnie.

And we can promise that a lot of top rock and roll artists

will appear here with us that night.

Just... Why you fellows going to all this trouble?

Well, we have a point to prove, Mr. Everett.

We'd like to show the rest of the country that

rock and roll is a safe and sane dance for all young people.

It hasn't hurt me any, has it?

You'd like to have Mr. Haines here real bad, wouldn't you?

I can't think of any other man in the whole world I'd want more.

You know, I think she's got every record you ever made.

Well.

Okay, Mr. Haines, you tell me what Saturday night you want, and we'll set it up.

That's great. Thank you, sir, very much.

You can thank me.

After all, I was the one who sold my father.

Wasn't I?
