Hey

Tonight's the night everything is gonna go

Hey, hey, brother man,

I'm a little worried about you. You're soundin' nervous.

Who, me, Sam? Nervous?

Hey, well, this is my first time going on live on the radio, you know?

Yeah, and it may be your last, sucker.

Hey, don't say that, man.

Well, if you blow this, baby, you'd better be gettin' your hat.

Listen here, man, you know, after tonight's gig...

the whole town is gonna be talkin' about Bobby Speed.

Yeah, man, sure, that's cool. But what about The Commodores?

We go live at 12:00.

Hey, listen, man.

When I, Bobby Speed...

promises his audience live music, he delivers.

You'd better, turkey.

Or you'll be back at the supermarket...

announcin' specials.

Ok, we go in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

Hit it!

Hey, hey, y'all.

This is Bobby Speed, the man in the glass booth...

comin' to you live for the first time, definitely not the last...

from the Zoo Disco, over station K.D.C.O.

Where you are what you hear.

Who's that dancin' by the mirror?

She's been dancin' all night long.

Do you love it?

Oh, we love it, we love it. Don't we, Frannie?

The straps are fallin' down.

Oh, Frannie, don we love it? Frannie?

- Oh, fabulous. - Yes.

If y'all are anyplace but right here,

You're in the wrong place, baby.

I feel like a stilt walker.

No wonder my sister has rotten feet.

- I'm takin' them off. - No, no, I'll fix it, ok?

Don't forget, y'all...

big dance contest tonight. The Commodores, live.

$200, first prize. Be here at the Zoo.

Ok, how does it feel?

Fabulous.

Frannie, it's better than breaking your ankle.

Now, come on, you can't win a dance contest if you...

Jeannie, there's no guarantee I'll win.

You will. You will.

You are the best dancer in taft high.

Jeannie, that's kids. This is different.

Oh, why did I let you talk me into this?

Look, how else are we going to pay...

for the kiss concert? We can't miss that.

I mean, do you want to go through life...

with this hanging over your head?

No.

Ok.

It's a chevy. Beige, 4-door.

Got you.

This was a perfect anniversary dinner, Dave.

Oh, I'm glad. Hey, did you really like the present?

You know, it's hard coming up with something in wood.

All I could think of...

was a pepper mill or a baseball bat.

We'll go home.

Since you're drunk, I'll take advantage of you.

What do you suppose is going on over there?

Oh, it's, uh, just one of those discos or something.

Let's go.

What?

Take the car back, please.

But... but...

Wait a second. Hold it.

Susan, it's, uh... it's after 10:00.

I have to go to work tomorrow.

Dave, tonight's special.

And I don't want to go home yet.

Take it back.

Ho. Hey, hold it. Hold it.

Susan, I do not want to stand on line...

with a bunch of freaks and listen to loud music.

All right, take it back. I'll pick it up later.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Here.

A half hour.

One dance, a slow dance, and then we go home.

Jennifer.

Oh, God, I'll hold them, Maddy,

but how can you eat this.

How can you eat at a time like this?

I'm sorry, but I just had to eat something.

I can't believe it took so long.

Don't be sorry.

The entire world has got to be goin' tonight, Jennifer.

I mean, do you know what this means?

The odds for meeting guys moves way up.

You want a bite of this?

No, thanks.

Maddy, do you think what I'm wearin' is ok?

I mean I haven't gotten those clothes from home yet.

And I feel really funny.

- Do you think it's ok. - Yeah, it's great.

Well I mean, it's great. I mean, it doesn't matter because...

I mean, the thing about discotheques, Jennifer, is you can just be anything.

You can just look any way, you can just be any... it fantastic.

I gotta stop eating this crap.

I really want to thank you for taking me with you tonight.

I mean, really.

Forget it. I mean I know when you come to a new place,

You just can't find people you can relate to.

Relate to...

I just would like to meet one nice guy.

I go to the discotheques to kind of forget, you know?

They're a great place to meet new guys.

Yeah? Like, what kind of men go there?

Live ones.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

Maddy, I'm sorry.

I knew that was gonna. I'm really sorry.

- Oh, no, it'll dry. - I'm sorry.

I mean, not tonight, you know, but it'll dry.

Here. I'm sorry. I'll get it out.

Oh, oh I knew that would come in handy.

Oh, your bun. I'm sorry.

What the hell is this?

Smog.

Here.

The wheel.

Whoa!

Put on your glasses right now.

I can see. Don't worry I can see.

That's it, I'm gettin' out of this...

No, no, don't! Hold the wheel.

I'll put them on, I'll put them on.

Hey, hey...

don't be afraid of bumpin' and jumpin'.

That's what it's all about.

Let yourself go.

Turn off your mind and boogie.

I'm with you, baby.

This is guaranteed to paralyze you. Here.

Hey, would you loosen up, huh?

Huh?

Would you watch the road, huh?

Hey, come on, man.

We are out for action tonight.

You don't understand.

I don't want the action. I'm not looking for action.

What I want is a nice girl.

Me, too. One nice girl.

Nice tits, nice ass. Nice.

Friday

Thank God, it's

Friday

Friday

Thank God, it's

Friday, Friday

Friday, Friday

Gorgeous.

Hey, put a smile on your face

Things are coming your way

Out there somewhere tonight

It is the right time and place

Any problems?

Nothing I can't handle.

They're really coming out of the woodwork for the dance contest.

- Any V.I.P's? - No, not yet.

Baby

Here comes one. Here comes one.

- Hi. - Hey, babe. How you doing?

- Come on in. - Neat. Thanks.

Hi.

Who the hell is she?

Oh, it's ok. She's with me.

Oh, wow! Nice car.

I told you we'd arrive in style.

Where you girls headed?

Right here. Right here! Right... no turn. Right here!

- Where? - Turn!

Oh, thanks. Thanks.

"In style". Huh.

Fabulous.

Hey!

Hey, sweetheart, you want a ride?

Look where you're goin', schmuck. The post!

Would you watch where you're goin'?

Did you see those two?

- Those two what? - Girls! Didn't you see'em?

Am I near the parkin' lot?

Left, left. Make a left. Put on your glasses.

What are you, my mother?

I had them on.

Don't push.

I think this will be exciting.

Hey, do you really want to go in?

Why don't we go home and watch TV or something?

Dave, it's good for us to experience new things.

We have to reach out together, be more open to things.

Oh, God, you've been read Cosmopolitan again.

From here to eternity

She does, she does, she does, she does

From here to eternity

That's where she leads me

From here to eternity

Mr. Demarco, this thing is just hot and sweaty.

I pay you to look like a monkey...

and run the elevator. Not one or the other.

But this thing is just scratchy and...

I'm breakin' out all over.

Did I leave my green sweat in your apartment?

- Was that yours? - Yes...

and you still owe me a dinner, too.

Well, let's make a date. Give me a call.

Hi, Tony. Am I gonna see you later?

- What do you think, sweetheart? - Well I hope so.

How about Monday? It's my birthday. Did you remember?

Of course I remembered. I even got you a lovely green sweater.

Oh, Tony, you didn't have to.

I know.

- See you later. - See you later.

- Bye. - Bye.

Have a nice time, girls.

That'll be $10.

$10? For what?

For what? For a good time.

What's that?

What was that for? Look what he did.

You gotta have it.

You can't get in and out without it.

- He ruined my shirt. - It'll wash out.

What if it doesn't? This is my best shirt. $40.

Pierre Cardin.

Just wait here.

Dave.

I want to try and wash it out.

Oh, Dave.

Doth with their death bury their parents' strife

The fearful passage of their death marked love

And the continuance of their parents' rage

Which, but their children's end, naught could remove

Is now the two hours' traffic

Of our stage

The which if you with patient ears attend

It won't come off!

I'll get it out. I promise.

We both care

Nothing is enough for your love

And it's so wonderful

Being caught up in your love

Take my all 'cause I have so much

When you are here with me, love

You, you, you started the fire

You, you, you lit my desire

You, you, you turn me on higher

Nothing is enough for your love

Your love

Nothing is enough for your love

Ooh, sweet love

Hey, nothing is enough for your love

You're so wonderful

I thank my lucky stars above

Take my all 'cause I have so much

When you are here with me, love

Do you paint a picture of me?

We have a love

Yes, you're gonna love this, my man.

Yes. Toot, toot, toot.

You'll never score with this one, boss.

We have a love

Sic'em, tiger.

Take my all 'cause I have so much

When you are here with me, love

Hey, it's really crowded here. Let's go home.

Oh, come on, Dave. Give it a chance.

Try to open up.

Excuse me, are these seats taken?

No, no. Please.

Could you move over one just, uh...

No.

Oh, excuse me.

Excuse me. I'm sorry.

Right.

What are you doing?

Nothing. How about a drink?

I don't like that dress.

You've liked it every other time I've worn it.

Your breasts...

Every other time you wore it...

your breasts weren't making their debut.

This is the way the designer intended...

the dress to be worn.

I'd like a drink. It's a little warm in here.

How can you be warm? You're not wearing anything.

Did the...

Did the designer also intend for every other guy here...

to look at your tits?

Dave, they're my tits, not yours.

You're my wife! That makes them our tits.

- Hello. - Hi.

And our tits should be home where they belong...

not out on the town.

And I do mean "out".

It's wonderful

ID's?

Are you kidding? Is he kidding, dear?

He must be, dear.

We haven't been carded in years.

Let's see 'em.

What kind of ID's are these.

The regular kind.

They're Idaho driver's licenses.

You ladies are a long way from home.

Well, there ain't much dancin' in Idaho.

According to these, you're 34 and you're 37.

Isn't that amazing?

Something about that Idaho water, you know.

Take a hike.

Oh, fabulous.

Oh, I knew this wasn't gonna...

oh, I knew this wasn't gonna work. Oh, God.

Game room. And if anyone's going to the bar...

would you get me a banana daiquiri?

Here, put this on.

What is this?

Lip gloss. It makes you look hot.

- You're sick. - Try it.

No, thanks, Carl.

Suit yourself.

See anything decent?

Would I love to jump on her bones.

There's a big guy with her...

who looks like he'd like to jump on your head.

Bad news.

Not really. She's, uh, far from a winner.

You know somethin'? You're starting to depress me, you know that?

You are beginning to depress me.

Why don't you play pinball...

and I'll go up to the loun and check things out, ok?

- Good idea. - All right.

I'll meet you in 10 minutes at the bar.

- All right? - At the bar?

Uh-Huh. In 10 minutes?

Uh-Huh.

- Good. Right. - Ok. Mmm hmm.

All right, see that guy? He is a creep.

How do I know?

How do you know?

Heavy polyester.

I mean, polyester on a dance floor?

That is a creep, jennifer.

What about... what about, like, double knits?

- You know? - Oh, yeah.

Like a really light, kind of summery seersucker.

Well, um...

ok, if it's tasteful.

Ok, tasteful seersucker, and polyester out.

Oh, oh, zodiac signs.

Oh, zodiac signs, nil.

Zodiac signs have always been just nil. Ok.

All right, now, the absolute proof of creephood:

does he come in a friend's car?

Oh, come on.

Maddy, Maddy, you came in my car.

That's different.

Excuse me. This is ridiculous.

I hope you're not thirsty. You could die before you get a drink here.

Here you are, Mr. Demarco. How's it going?

Great, Billy. Thanks.

Hey, bartender, what is this what am I, a leper?

Hey, come on. Hey, Billy.

Hey, can I have a beer, please?

Oh, I'm sorry.

You bet your sweet ass you're sorry.

Do you walk around town?

Shirley?

Are you Shirley?

I'm supposed to meet her her for a blind date.

One of those computer deals.

You've got to be kidding.

No. You're dressed in blue.

That's what she's supposed to be wearing.

This is not blue. It's turquoise.

Hey, I don't give a shit.

You wanna dance?

Are you, uh, standin' in a hole?

Excuse me.

Goddamn broads is gone too far.

Jennifer, Jennifer, just don't turn around, don't look anxious...

but there are 2 hunks behind your left shoulder.

Just whatever you do, just pretend you don't notice.

Oh, God. Ok, well, I don't know. What do we say after "hello".

Jennifer, be like me, casual.

I can't. It's hard to be casual.

It's not easy to be casual...

I'm sorry. This is not casual.

I going to fix this for you, and it going to be...

Here's your drink. See I sorted it. I'm fine.

Ignore this. Here, have a nut.

I'm sorry. Oh, there's a rag. Thank you.

Here, let me just get that.

That's good. I dropped my...

I'm going to get my purse. Can we leave?

Oh, I'm sorry.

You're always sorry.

I'm not sorry. I'm not sorry. She's sorry.

We are not giving up.

I think the big mistake...

was bringing the money in that jar.

Well, how else was I supposed to carry the change?

Why didn't your mother just give you bills?

Come on, my mom would never give me money to come here.

Would yours?

Then where did you get it?

From my brother.

Your brother? That cheapskate?

When did he get so generous?

Well I borrowed it.

Oh, fabulous.

Jeannie, if he finds out...

he'll beat the crap out of both of us.

Don't be such a worrywart.

We'll have it back before he misses it, ok?

We'll replace whatever we use with what you win.

We have to get in before we can win.

Yeah.

Don't be such a drag.

Come on. Maybe there's a back door.

There's no back door.

There's got to be a back door.

There's got to be something. How did people get in?

I wanna go home.

Can we just go home and watch television?

No, I don't want to watch television.

We wanted to come here, so we are here.

My purse! My purse!

No, no, wait, wait! No, wait, wait!

Goodbye.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

$5! $2.50 a pop! $2.50 a pop.

$5 here, $10 there.

This is gettin' to be a very expensive evening.

Come on, Dave. We don't go out that often.

You know...

whoever owns this place owns a gold mine.

I mean, if every person here...

Had a drink-and-a-half at $2.50 a pop...

Stop it. What are you doing?

Come on, Dave. We didn't come here to do their books.

Let's dance.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Not this one.

I'll dance, but not this dance.

A slow dance. And then we go home, ok?

No.

What's going to make you happy?

Do you want to go out on the floor...

and jump up and down like a lunatic?

I just want to have a good time.

Hello, I'm Tony Demarco.

Uh, is everything ok? You folks comfortable?

Yes, thank you.

I noticed you when you first came in.

I haven't seen you here before, have I?

Do you notice everyone? Is that your job?

No, I own the place, so I pretty well know everybody who's a regular here.

And I especially would have remembered...

someone as pretty as you.

Thank you.

I have a little hunch about something.

Are you a stewardess for T.W.A.?

No, she's a wife with the P.T.A.

You know, uh, supermarkets,

church, McDonald's. You know the type.

You're a very lucky guy.

Evelyn. Evelyn...

bring these folks a drink on me.

No, really, it's not necessary.

No, no, no, let him.

It's my pleasure.

Would you like to dance with me?

Is it all right, honey?

Sure, ok.

It'll never happen, buddy.

I see you're busy fighting the girls off.

Hey, what took you so long, huh?

What?

There were a couple of winners hangin' around here before.

If you had been here, we could've scored.

How would you know?

You can't see 2 feet in front of your face.

I don't need to see them. These 2 were winners.

I'm tellin' you, winners.

You know somethin'?

You know what this place reminds me of?

- Disneyland with tits. - Yeah.

- Drink? - Later.

I'll have a... hey, what is this, huh?

I see something.

Hey, what's the matter with you?

You know, life really sucks.

I mean, this place is the pits.

I think everyone in America...

is in here looking for cheap thrills.

I can't stand it. I mean, it is bad news.

It's like a zoo in here. It's so tacky.

I'm gonna get out of here.

What are you doin' in here?

Oh, it's lousy in here.

Excuse me, I'm sorry.

You bet your sweet ass you're sorry.

Shirley!

Shirley!

Shirley!

Shirley!

Gus! Gus!

Shirley?

Gus, is that you?

Over here, Shirley! Over here.

Can you see my card?

To your left! To your left!

No, no, no, your other left!

This way. Over here!

I can't see you.

Shirley, I can see you. Just follow me. Over here.

Come on, a little closer. Come on.

Gus!

Get around the big guy. Come on, Shirley. Come on.

Hey, Shirley?

Gus?

Shirley?

Gus Micola.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Gus? Gus.

Have a nice time.

It'll be $5, please.

- Thank you. - You know what time it is?

No I don't have a watch. Sorry. Right hand, please.

Enjoy yourself.

The moonlight, the music and you

Love and I'm yearning for you

Won't you give me a sign?

After dark, will you be mine?

After dark, the light will shine

Love is such a wonderful bind

We can tie our hearts and be one of a kind

After dark, your love will be mine

Damn it, speed, what are you doin' to me, man?

I can't wait any longer for The Commodores.

I'm taking this show back here to the station.

Man, what are you talkin' about?

The Commodores are here, man. They've been here for a while.

Hey, fellows, say hello to Sam and calm him down.

What's happenin', Sam, baby?

We're here, Sam, and we're ready to wail!

You better thank your lucky stars.

You got somebody of value like Bobby Speed.

You know, Sam, huh?

Out of sight, speed!

We go on live as planned.

Have them set up and ready to start at 12:00, sharp.

- Oh, we got you, baby. - Yeah, we can dig it.

- No sweat, Sam. - Yeah, all right, fellows.

Thanks, man. Yeah, all right.

Oh, we'll see you in a few minutes.

Yeah, ok.

Hey, Sam, what you worried about?

I told you everything was cool.

I think somebody made a mistake.

You bet your sweet ass somebody made a mistake.

You're taller than me.

You know I filled out my form so carefully.

I asked to be matched with somebody in government.

That's what you got. I work for the city.

I'm a garbage collector.

Garbage?

Hey, I never touch the shit. I just drive the truck.

Why? What do you do?

Oh, I teach the sixth grade at the Huntley Grammar School.

Christ, I told'em no college broads!

You think you know everything.

You know, I'm going to get those computer bastards for this.

Hey!

You want to speed it up in there, huh?

We could probably just make the best of it.

There ain't no best to this. This is the worst!

Hey!

Will you shake your ass, huh?

Gus, calm down.

Calm down, nothin'.

Your time is up.

I got to go.

You know, I work too hard for my money.

I put too much time into this...

and they ain't gonna get away with this...

those, uh.

I got no change. Give me a dime.

Well, I'll see if I have one. I don't know.

Come on, give me a dime, will you?

I've only got one dime...

and I'm gonna need it to call my therapist.

Don't, don't let it keep going on

You know, I'd rather be

Hurt and cryin'

Than sayin' goodbye

If she can experience, I can experience.

Whatever we feel

Let's make a deal, to be for real

Do you always stand like that?

Only when I feel my energy being drained.

Standing on one leg...

doesn't allow the energy complete flow.

You can lose it in the floor. Would you like to dance?

- Well, uh... - Yes, you would.

Yeah, ok.

Whatever's on your mind, let it be revealed

Oh, that's love for him

Let's make a deal to be completely

Together, together

Let's make a deal to be completely

Together, together

Let's make a deal

Wanna be real with each other

Hey, little ladies, what's happenin'?

What are you doin' out here?

They won't let us in.

In so you get us...

or we're going to have a little talk...

with the owner of that car.

Hey.

Ow, she's a brick house

She's mighty mighty, just lettin' it all hang out

She's a brick house

The lady's stacked, and that's a fact

Ain't holding nothing back

She's a brick house

Well we're together everybody knows

This is how the story goes

She knows she's got everything

That a woman needs, to get a man

How can she lose, with such a youth

36-24-36

Ooh, what a winnin' hand

She's a brick house

She's mighty mighty, just lettin' it all hang out

She's a brick house

Peace.

That lady's stacked, and that's a fact

Hey, where y'all been, man?

En route, baby. En route.

You know, you had me shaking, you know. But I never lost faith. Never lost faith.

I knew you wouldn't let me down.

You see, this is going to be the dance contest, right?

Yeah!

It's going to make my career, you know what I mean?

Tonight is going to be the hottest night ever. All right!

Bobby, baby...

we're more than glad to do the favor for you.

Yeah, yeah.

But we got one problem.

Oh, no problems, no problems, fellows.

No equipment, baby.

Hey, man, that's all fine. I'll fix it.. I...

What? No instruments? You're jiving, man.

- Oh, come on, you're kiddin'. - No, not kidding.

You're just joking, right? You guys do this in your act.

But we got it all solved.

We got our man, Floyd,

Bringin' it down from San Francisco.

Floyd? "Wrong way" Floyd?

No, man! You didn't give your instruments to Floyd, man!

Why? Why you do that, man?

Where am I?

5. Route 5. Where the hell is route 5?

I'm gettin' sleepy.

Man, you didn't really give them to Floyd, did you, man?

You're jivin' me, right? Huh?

Everything's going to be cool. For sure.

Your instruments are downstairs, right? Down?

Don't worry about it, man. Floyd's on his way.

Yeah.

Hey, Lionel, thanks, man, yeah.

No instruments? Jesus Christ, Floyd.

Who are you?

You mean, you don't know who I am?

No.

Why, I'm Nicole Sims.

The hottest thing in all of the New York discos.

I'm surprised.

That a big DJ like you, wouldn't know that.

You mean, you're not with The Commodores?

Oh, The Comms?

- I'm sorry. - Be careful now.

Hey, I know that.

I'd love to love you, baby.

Sweetheart. Sweetheart.

Hey, hey, hey, look, wait a minute. Now you've gone too far.

I don't know how you got in here, but you've got to go. Out.

- Listen, you ain't seen... - All right?

You ain't seen the last of me yet.

- Yeah. Thank you. - Nicole Sims. S I M S.

Right. Thank you, bye. Yes. O U T, "out". Bye.

May I?

You can always tell a lady

By the company she keeps

You can always tell a lady

From the company she keeps

Excuse me, lady.

Could you shave over here?

By the company she keeps.

You can always tell a lady

From the company she keeps

Can you hold this, please?

Good luck.

I've been messing up and mad since 20

And your friends leave a lot to ask for

When you have to pay and you can't introduce them

Ah, can I buy you a drink?

Can I buy you a drink, baby?

Thank you.

It smells like my brother's room.

Excuse me, girls.

You can always tell a lady

By the company she keeps

You can always tell a lady

From the company she keeps

Hey, hold it.

Where are you two going? You can get locked in there.

The doors don't open from the other side.

Security.

Oh, thanks.

We'd hate to have to get locked in there.

Yeah, our husbands would miss us.

Find my way

I must leave you, try to find my way

I can't take it, not another day

Please don't stop me, let me go and find my way

You got me

Hey, you want to dance? All right.

I'll catch you later, Jen.

Maddy.

Hi, sweetheart. What do you say?

Nothing.

Hey, uh...

what a beautiful smile!

Are you alone?

Don't I know you? I know you. I know you from somewhere.

No, you don't know me. I've never been here.

That's all right. You want to dance?

- You're on my purse. - Huh? Oh, sorry.

I don't want to dance.

What are you afraid of?

I'm not afraid of anything. I'm not afraid of anything.

I don't want to dance.

You want to sit?

You want to just sit and talk? I'll sit and talk.

I don't want to talk.

You want to go for a walk? I'll go for a walk.

We'll walk. We'll go walk someplace.

I don't want to walk. I don't want to talk.

I don't want to dance.

All right, wait-wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Didn't you come here lookin' for some action?

Yeah.

I'm still looking.

Got to leave you, got to find my way

Bobby Speed. Bobby Speed.

- Hello. - Hello, this is Sue.

How do you do?

This is my star, Bobby Speed.

What are you doing?

You've got to loosen up a little.

Let that laugh out.

That's more like it.

You're definitely not a Dave.

Do you mind if I call you Babakazoo?

What's a "Babakazoo"?

Just a name. Use it like an umbrella.

Now the jacket comes off.

Jackets suppress the main energy.

That's why snakes keep shedding their skins.

That's amazing. Who told you that?

No one.

Do you wear it all the time?

Well, it's expected in the office.

You see, I'm an accountant...

A.C.P.A. with Brody, Forman and Steinberg.

You ever hear of them?

No, but I know a guy who works at William Morris.

Listen, what are you doin'?

You'll be free.

You're wrapped too tight.

You have to emerge, like a butterfly.

From a caterpillar!

Listen, I have to tell you something.

Hello, hello, I'm married.

No, David is married.

Babakazoo belongs to everyone.

Oh, my God. I think I'm going to get a headache.

Oh. You are?

Look what I have. These will perk you up.

A rainbow.

Here, eat these.

Well, just 2, thank you.

Here.

Oh.

The money's in my pocket now.

I'm gonna take it home.

You're not scorin' with this one, buddy.

I hope they don't upset my stomach.

Aspirin does that sometimes.

Oh, they won't. Don't worry, they're not aspirin.

Me, Jane. You, Tarzan!

You are the reason I feel like dancing.

Hey, sweetheart.

Haven't I seen you here before?

You got a beautiful smile.

What say we go back to my place...

and, uh, see God?

I met him. He's got a great smile.

Hi.

Are you talking to me?

You come here a lot?

Yeah, sometimes.

I'm Kathy.

I'm, uh, Carl.

Nice to meet you.

Would you like a drink?

Let me buy you a drink.

Uh, vodka on the rocks and a...

- Beer. - Beer.

It's gettin' awfully warm in here.

Yeah.

Wouldn't you like to leave?

What?

I've got this lovely apartment...

and it's not crowded.

Wait a minute, let me get this straight...

are you asking me...

if I want to go home with you?

Yeah, I've had enough here. Haven't you?

Yeah.

I took my sweater off...

and I left it in the game room.

- I'll go get it and I'll meet... - No.

You wait here. I'll go get it.

The game room, right.

And it's a shaggy green sweater.

Shaggy green sweater.

You stay here, I'll be right back.

You're a heavenly little lady

And I'm saying that because I do

You are the reason I speak

Ooh, baby I am ready.

I am ready.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

No.

Oh, no.

Hey!

Open the door! Help me!

Open the door.

I'm trapped in a stairway

Can't get out, got to shout

Got a date, can't be late

Excuse me, you mind if I cut in?

Oh. Do you mind if he cuts in?

No, fine with me.

Thank you.

All right.

What do I know?

Can't get out, got to shout

Got a date

Can't be late

Ok, ok, don't lose it.

Everything's gonna be all wrong.

I mean, all right.

Everything's going to be fine. Stay calm, stay calm.

All right, this is Bobby Speed.

Comin' to you from the Zoo over K.D.C.O.

With a special dedication...

to a long lost friend of mine.

And, Floyd, you better be tuned in...

or the next song I dedicate is going to be taps.

Uh, what's the problem, captain?

You look like a man in a hurry to get somewhere.

Was I speeding?

You got a bill of sale for this stuff?

Say, brother, you got the wrong idea.

I'm working for The Commodores...

Yeah, brother. And I'm Baretta.

Hey, hey

Hey I was wondering what happened to you.

Yeah? Yeah, we're still here.

I'm glad, because you are a woman.

I'm a woman?

Yes I am.

And I am a man.

Yes, you definitely are a man.

You like me?

You're very nice.

I'm here every night.

Dancin' and dancin' and dancin.

She likes to dance a lot, too.

I dance every day, all day long.

I never stop. Nothing else matters.

Everything else is bullshit.

I dance in my job.

They tell me to stop. Do I stop? No.

Do they fire me? Yes.

Do I care? No. And why?

Because I am a dancer.

Only when I am dancin', do I know I'm alive.

Only when I'm dancin', do I feel free.

Only when I'm dancin', do I know who I am.

Who are you?

I'm Marv Gomez, The Leatherman.

Oh, he is the one. He is the one.

He's got someone.

Yeah, ok.

This really is beautiful.

Yeah, I thought this would be a place...

to get a little peace and quiet.

You really do enjoy all of this, don't you?

Well, why not? It's a long way...

from hustling records to the AM radio stations.

Is that what you did?

In another life. Yeah. Until the disco thing.

I said, "Tony, there's gonna be...

a wave of nightlife in this country...

and you're gonna ride the crest".

I hocked everything I had, opened up this place.

Now I'm wealthy, I'm happy.

And I'm particularly happy to get...

the opportunity to meet a woman like you.

Ah, you sell jewelry, too?

Yes I do.

Let's look.

Ok.

Pick something up.

Oh, I couldn't.

Let me see those rings.

She's already got a ring.

A wedding ring.

Better yet, let me see them gold chains.

You mean one like this?

Yeah, one just like that. That's right.

I'd like to take you home now so we can be alone together.

I know it would be very, very good.

I don't think... Dave would like that.

Yes, but how would you like it?

I really think I'd better be going now.

He'll be wondering where I am.

Jeez, what happened?

Here.

These will wake you up.

Eat these.

It better be good...

or your ass is in the slammer.

Come on, man, let's go.

Saving the best for last. Hold it.

Yeah, all right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Since you came

I feel like lovin' again

I feel like livin' again

And I feel like givin' again

Ooh, since you came

I feel like lovin' again

And I feel like livin' again

And I feel like givin' again

Excuse me, I was wondering if...

So was I. Is this me?

I don't know.

Just one more time we do it.

Thank you very much.

You ok?

You want a hit?

Yeah, sure.

Come on.

I like to smoke to get in touch with my man, you know.

I got to get things straight with him before the dance contest...

'cause if he ain't on your side, you may as well be dancin' on banana peels.

I'm gonna win tonight.

Yeah? Good luck to you.

Hey, where you going?

Ah, home.

Hey, the night's just beginnin'.

For you, maybe, but...

Oh, nothing happening, huh?

Hey.

That used to be my problem...

before I started wearing leather. No kidding.

I was lower than whale shit.

Zip.

And then it happened.

I bought my first leather coat.

Oh, it was smooth, real rugged.

Like me, Marv Gomez, The Leatherman.

Hey.

I'm going to change your life.

Hey.

Oh, no, no, no.

Aw, come on, put this on. It was my first one.

Say, leather's what you've been waiting for.

It's not bad. This is... This is kind of nice.

It's beautiful!

Now all you got to do is dance.

Dance?

That's a joke, man. Look, I'm not a dancer, you see.

I've got worse than 2 left feet.

I got no left feet.

You see I don't dance.

Hey, man, let me tell you somethin'.

You ain't gonna be happy until you're free.

And the only way you're going to be free...

is to get loose.

And the only way you're going to get loose is to dance.

Now, come on...

let me see some of your moves.

Moves.

Ok, moves.

Hey, man, you know, you're in serious trouble.

Yeah?

Yeah. Here, try this.

No, man. No, no, don't you hear the music?

Here, watch.

You go step, tap, step, tap.

- Step, tap. - Step, tap.

Then you reverse it.

Reverse that.

6 beats, 7 steps.

Then you step on your left...

kick out with your right, and kick, turn...

yee, and face your partner.

I can't do that.

Hey, man, let me tell you somethin'.

Little kids are doin' it.

Old ladies are doin' it. Everybody's doin' it.

Now, come on, dance.

Dance, dance...

Come on, baby. There you got it. Come on.

You got it, baby. You got it, baby. You got it.

Dance. Dance. Let's go.

Come on, baby you got it, baby.

Come on, come on, you got it.

Yeah.

Hey.

Dancing! Everything else is bullshit!

Hey.

Hey.

The last time you touched me

You filled my heart with song

Where you going?

I'm Diane, the new waitress.

Bobby's hungry.

Knock, knock.

Yeah, it's open.

Yeah? Memorial hospitaI, emergency room?

Y'all by any chance...

got a Nigger in there named Floyd?

I brought you a snack.

Just put it over there, baby.

No, not Fong. Floyd. Malcolm Floyd.

Find out what you can do about...

You again?

Hey, look, baby, don't you understand.

The first rule of any disco is don't bug the DJ.

I just wanted to help.

I just wanted to tell you you're doin' a good job tonight.

You're steppin' all over my records.

Baby I don't need any more hassles.

Lookit, you got your chance, give me mine.

Let me sing.

Are you...

Just listen to my demo.

What is this?

Don't you remember when you first started?

Well, everybody got to start somewhere.

Why not here?

You are nuts. Lady, don't you understand?

This is going out live.

There are millions of people listenin' to my golden tones.

I ain't gonna blow it. This ain't amateur night.

Listen, Mr. Bigshot DJ, I ain't no amateur!

I paid my dues.

All I'm askin' for is a chance.

Lady, please.

Hey, bear!

All right. All right.

I'll go. But my mind's made up.

And when it's made up, it stays made up!

Wait a minute, wait a minute look, what's your name?

Nicole, Nicole, you're beautiful, and I'd really love to talk to you sometime.

But right now, I got my own problems. Right.

I got some freak lost in the woods and I've gotta find him. All right?

Would you take her away from, pease?

Would you take her out?

Hey, we're going all the way tonight, Charlie.

Nobody's gonna stop us.

So I tell you what, grab your favorite animal and get down,

'cause we're all gonna boogie.

Which reminds me of my old friend, Floyd...

who loves to boogie.

But, Floyd, you can't dance if your legs is broke.

Oh, no, no.

God be my strength and my deliverance.

I know, I know you think I stole'em...

but I got news for you.

They're not hot, they're not stolen, or nothing.

Come here, let me show you somethin'.

Uh, could you hold these for me? Thank you.

I'll show you what I can do.

I'll show you who I work for.

I'm gonna show you, oh yeah, I'm gonna show you.

Oh yeah, I'm gonna show you.

Hey, sorry.

You bet your sweet ass you're sorry.

You dip.

To love, to love, to love

To love, to love, to love

Hey.

What are you hangin' around here for?

You think some fairy Godmother.

Is gonna show up at midnight...

and turn me into a lawyer?

I'm not hanging around you.

I just haven't left yet.

What's wrong with you, anyway.

Hey, don't make fun of my height.

I'm not talking about your height.

I don't care that you're a shrimp.

I do care that you're an insensitive shrimp.

Well, let me tell you somethin', lady.

I bust my hump all week workin'.

Come Friday night,

I ain't got time to be Mr. Nice Guy.

Well, let me telI you something.

I feel sorry for you.

Because you're an unhappy person.

What the hell I got to be happy about?

I'm out with an old maid.

Oh?

An old maid with a great right hook, you bastard.

We were 2 lonely people...

and we should have been nice to each other.

But, no. You work too hard.

You creep!

Anybody else?

Shirley.

If you love, to love, to love

If you love, love, love

Hey, baby, you wanna dance, huh?

Losers!

You're all losers!

A simple "no" would have sufficed.

A chick with a big right hook?

We was made for each other.

Shirley.

Everybody!

Matilda, Matilda...

She takes me money and run Venezuela.

Matilda...

Matilda, she takes me mone and run Venezuela.

Where've you been? Ha? Remember me?

I've been lookin' for you. I want to talk to you.

Let's sit down.

Wait I don't want to sit down.

I got too much energy or something.

What's happened to your clothes?

You like it? Who do I look like?

I'll give you one guess: Harry Belafonte.

Matilda...

Why are you talking so fast?

I'm not talking fast.

This is how I always talk, only you never noticed it before.

But I bet you noticed how that asshole talked, ha.

And I also noticed...

that hippie freak you've adopted.

I want to know...

is one evening with her worth 5 years of marriage?

What are you talking about?

5 years of what? One evening with who?

Dave, I want to sit down.

I don't want to sit. Who's Dave?

I'm Babakazoo.

Look, I'm afraid of what's happening here.

To both of us.

Let's go home.

Yeah.

I'm drunk. You can take advantage of me.

Advantage? Advantage.

You are the one who wanted me to be more open.

That's what I'm doing: I'm staying and I'm opening.

Matilda, Matilda...

Matilda, she take my money and run Venezuela.

Dear God.

I have somethin' i want to share with you.

I am trying to take responsibility...

for everything that is going on here.

But there's somethin' that I want you to get:

I want you to get me out of here.

Honey, honey.

From now on...

it's you and me for the rest of the evening.

To us.

Hey.

Maddy.

Jennifer, I was looking for you.

I just had the most awful experience.

- I want to split. - Oh, good.

See I met these really hot guys, and they're going to a really hot party.

- A boogie party. - Wait a minute.

What about the dance contest?

You want to stay for the dance contest?

Uh, no. There's this jacuzzi party,

And they're gonna get really down.

I mean, you'd be kind of uncomfortable there.

It's not your kind of party...

Why not change your mind and come?

No I don't wanna come with you. All right.

I'll see you at work on monday.

You don't mind stayin' here?

No I don't mind. You can go.

Oh, thanks. Well, oh, you'll have a great time.

No, you'll have a really great time.

Have a really good time, Maddy.

Bye, Jennifer.

Mad...

You are gonna be a star

I'm sure that was polyester.

All my plans went wrong. Everything.

I lost all my brother's money...

And our friends will laugh us out of school.

And worst of all, i dragged you into this mess.

You were right.

I just should have kept my mouth shut.

You told me...

that I was the greatest dancer at taft high.

You told me...

I could do anything if i set my mind to it.

We came here to do something...

and I'm not quitting now.

I'm gonna enter that dance contest...

if I have to go out on that floor...

and dance all alone.

Maybe you won't have to dance alone.

Miss?

Yes?

Do you know Marv Gomez?

Yes.

Well, uh, he's down in the game room and...

He's doubled over with pain.

He says you should meet him down there right away.

- I think it's his appendix. - Yeah.

Oh, no. I told him not to dance so much.

Yeah.

This will be faster. Here.

- Gee, thanks. - Yeah.

Hey, hold that door!

Is something wrong?

Malcolm Floyd.

I'm looking, I'm trying to find Malcolm Floyd.

You know he's this ugly-looking dude...

Just give me a few minutes.

Otherwise I'm gonna break every bone in your goddamn ass.

Get off the stage!

It's ok.

It's ok.

It's ok.

Is that shirt cotton?

Yes.

A 100 percent?

Yes.

What do you mean, you haven't seen her?

She was just up here singing her heart out for me.

Look she couldn't have gone up in smoke. Just look, just keep looking for the best thing...

that's walked into this disco in the last 4 months, and it's mine.

Yeah, what is it?

Yeah, Bobby, Floyd's here.

You're kiddin'. All right!

Hey, all right, all right, now we're on a hot roll.

Whatever you've been holdin' back, let it go.

Whatever you've been savin' up, spend it.

'Cause we're hummin'...

and the big dance contest is comin'.

No, I couldn't do that. No.

Hey, hey, where are you going? Where are you going?

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I've got to get out of here.

This place is driving me crazy.

You've been very nice and all of that...

but this is really all so bad.

No, no, no, wait a minute. I know exactly what you're going through.

Believe me I do. With your husband in there like that and everything.

I know how that feels.

- Do you? - Yes I do.

That's why I don't want you to go.

You shouldn't be alone, especially now.

Susan, I'm gonna be very straight with you.

For whatever it's worth, i can't play any games anymore...

not the way i feel about you.

- Oh, please, no more... - No, no, wait a minute.

You know, before when you walked away from me...

I found myself missing you.

I realized I'd lost something very important I'd just now found.

I care for you.

See you later, Tony.

I don't know, something's happening.

I care for you very deeply. I mean it.

And I can't explain it in any rational way.

This sort of thing doesn't usually happen to me.

I'm just as confused about it as you are.

And I'm not used to being confused, either.

Tony, we'd better talk now.

No, we'd better not. Can we make this...

I have to talk to you.

- No, no, please. - It's about last weekend.

Can we make it later, sweetheart, please?

Please. Thank you.

Susan, all my life, all my life...

I've been fighting to keep free from these feelings...

but you've done it to me.

Your vitality, your commitment to life...

everything about you excites me...

in a brand new way that I've never felt before.

You know for me, it feels like the first time.

It's as if, uh, I've been waiting here for you.

What do you want?

Jesus, Tony. You said, later.

I figured this was later.

No, this isn't later. This is now.

"Later" means much later, ok?

- Ok. - Ok.

I don't know. I can't say it any other way.

I know what you're trying to say.

I know what you're about. I have eyes and a brain.

And I don't want you to go.

Why?

You seem to have an abundance of friends.

That's right. That's right.

I could be with any one of them tonight.

You know I wouldn't have to go home alone.

But I would rather be here with you.

With you, Susan.

Than with any other woman in the place.

And that comes from my heart.

Come on. I wanna go back in, ok?

Ok, the rules are simple:

when the red light hits you, you're out!

And now, the best thing that's happened to dancing since feet.

Ladies and gentlemen,

You're too hot ta trot

Well you're too hot ta trot now, baby

Well you're too hot ta stop

I was never in a dance contest before.

What do you got to do?

Simple. You just get out on the floor...

and shake your ass like it was on fire.

Got you.

Here.

This will help. Take a whiff.

When the red light hits you, you're out!

What you're doin to me, girl.

I can see you right now

That you're the best thing around.

How could she do this to me?

The Leatherman has got to have a partner.

All right, we have a winner, ladies and gentlemen.

It wasn't easy, but there he is.

All right! The man in leather and his partner.

First prize winner, $200, and a trophy...

presented to them by The Commodores.

Let's hear it, everybody!

Hey, hey. Congratulations to our winners.

Yeah, whoo!

Thank you very much.

What time is it?

Hey.

It's 12:15.

Fabulous.

We're gonna get killed. We were supposed to be home at 11:00.

$50, Frannie. We pay back my brother.

We got enough for the concert!

Who cares about that dumb old concert?

That's for kids. We're disco queens now.

It's too bad you disco queens...

got to be home so early.

If we hurry...

we can make it to Big Mamas...

for the 1:00 dance contest.

Our parents will kill us.

You're right.

Let's go!

Babakazoo. Who's Babakazoo? Oh.

You stay here with me. I'll take care of you.

What are you talking about?

Where's my wife? Where's Sue?

My wife.

Sue?

My wife.

What we'll do is take a long ride up the coast.

I have some tapes of Frank we'll listen to.

I know this little place in Santa Barbara...

right on the water. It's gonna be real nice.

It sounds nice.

Sue! Sue!

What do you want?

What do I want? I'll tell you what I want. Dave!

You put a ding in it.

Dave, don't.

I'll put a ding in your dong,

That's what I'll put a ding in!

What do I want?

There, there's your wife. I didn't even touch her.

You didn't... You didn't touch her?

Until next time...

this is your zookeeper, Bobby Speed, reminding you...

keep them feet movin'...

or somebody will steal your shoes.
