A Swingin' Summer (1965) - full transcript
Beach party escapade features a bookworm with glasses who learns to "groove", as she attempts to sing "Ready to Groove."
All right kids, Roger Carol here.
Excuse me I was just
handed this announcement.
Let's see what we've got here.
Bad news, the Lake
Arrowhead Dance Pavilion
will not be open this summer.
Seems the promoters had
other commitments,
and everybody who was
scheduled to work on Monday
is now notified not to report.
Tough break, so get busy
finding yourselves other jobs,
but not until Donnie Brooks but...
That's great, that puts us
out of a job for the summer.
Look I turned down that lifeguard
offer at the beach, oh brother.
Well, may as well turn
around and head back to LA.
Hey wait, that job
with dad is still open.
Maybe he could hire both of you.
Thanks, Cindy, but...
But what?
What's wrong with working
for my father.
Look, Cindy, we've
been through this before.
He doesn't need me, it
would be just a handout.
I don't understand you,
you're so touchy about money.
Not money, charity, let's drop it.
Hey wait a minute, wait a
minute, I just got an idea.
Why don't we take over the
Dance Pavilion.
I have a friend who's
with National Town
who can get us some swingin'
groups.
Between the two of us we come up
with a couple hundred dollars.
We just might do it.
Let's go on up to Arrowhead
and talk to Mr. Johnson,
manager of the village.
What do we got to lose?
Uh $200.
Well, it's worth a try.
Well, it's okay by me.
Man, I got a feeling this is
gonna be a swingin' summer.
# Ooh ooh ah ooh #
# We're gonna have a swingin'
summer #
# For a fun to water ski #
# Until there's no
more sunscreen #
# Watusi all night #
# We're gonna do it up right #
# It's gonna be a swingin'
summer #
# We're gonna have a
summertime we won't forget #
# Then we'll sleep #
# And baby you can bet #
# When the summer is gone #
# All the memories will
live on a good summer #
# Remember #
# Gonna see it up at the lake #
# Each man my joy that will take #
# We'll make our plans
while holding hands #
# We'll kiss and then
we'll love our summertime #
# A perfect time to fall in love #
# And all the dreams that
we've been dreaming of #
# Are gonna all come
true this summer too #
# You'll see this
summer, swingin' summer #
# Swingin' summer fun #
# Wah wah ooh #
# Swingin' summer fun #
# Wah wah ooh #
# Swingin' summer full of fun #
# Wah wah ooh #
# Swingin' summer full of fun #
# Wah wah ooh #
You wait here, I'll
see if Mr. Johnson is in.
Oh, if you geniuses can
pull this off,
you'll make enough money to put
yourself through next semester.
You know, if we handle
the dances right,
I mean, you know, get
some good name groups
and the right promotion,
we'll be able
to make enough money to put
ourself through post-grad.
Oh, Mickey, I'm so excited.
Let's keep our fingers crossed
and hope that Rick can sell
Mr. Johnson on the idea.
That son of a gun,
at last, dental school.
Dr. Howell and James at
your service.
We fill 'em and we pull 'em.
You sound like you're
running a gas station.
Funny, that's very funny.
Funny thing you just said.
He's not here, he's over at the
lodge having lunch by the pool.
Oh good, let's go
over there and see him.
Mr. Johnson, we'd like to speak
to you for a moment, please.
Why certainly, Mr. Wallace and
I have finished our business.
What can I do for you?
Sir, I'm Rick Howell.
How do you do?
Cindy Foster and Mickey James.
- Oh, oh.
- Hello, sir.
This young man is Turk
Wallace, our head lifeguard.
Turk Wallace, the all-American.
Among other things.
Sir, we heard your
announcement on the radio.
Oh yes, the cancellation,
I'm sorry about that boys.
Are you part of the group
that was due to work here?
Yes sir, that's why we
wanted to talk to you.
We'd, we'd like the opportunity of
putting on the dances ourselves.
Well that's all well and good,
but it'll take a great deal of money.
How much money you boys have?
$200 right now, but
we're planning on deferring
some of the payments till
after the first weekend.
You see, a friend of Rick's is an agent,
and of course he could line
us up with some talent.
We'd give the performers
a percentage of the gate,
and give you at least two
weeks rent on Sunday night
after the opening.
That is of course if your
price isn't too high.
I'm afraid it's more
than the rent boys.
There are certain guarantees
that have to be made
to the performers, and if
you're not able to live up
to your obligations you will get
into a great deal of trouble.
If we could just have a one-week
trial period, that's all.
As manager of Lake
Arrowhead Village,
I have its reputation to consider.
If your plans fall through,
gives a village a bad name,
performers will be afraid
to appear here.
Well, how much money do we need
to cover the first weekend?
Oh, $1,000.
$1,000?
I'm afraid you just put us
out of business, Mr. Johnson,
Temporarily that is.
Oh I'm sorry boys, I
really wish I could help you.
Thanks anyway, Mickey, let's go.
My sunglasses, I left
them on the table.
I'll be right back.
Okay, we'll meet you at the car.
Mr. Johnson, my father
is John Posture.
Oh yes, I know him.
You have a house here on the lake.
Well he would put up the money and
make those guarantees or whatever.
I'll have him call you tonight.
Well, that changes the
whole picture.
But please, don't tell Rick.
I see.
You have a boyfriend who
likes to do things on his own.
Man, has he got problems.
Well, I'd like to pretend
that you just changed your mind.
I have now.
This place could be a gold mine.
We've got to raise that money.
Well, if you ask me,
Rick, I think we oughta
take those jobs from
Cindy's father.
Look, Mickey, I'm
telling you the same thing
I told Cindy, no charity.
All right, all right,
got any other ideas.
Yeah, I'm gonna call that agent,
see if he can get some groups
to come up here on a percentage.
Hey, that's a good idea.
Quick, who's the sharpest
businesswoman you know?
What, what are you talking about?
Oh, I just talked Mr. Johnson into letting
us have the pavilion for one weekend.
- You did?
- Hey.
Well, what'd you say to him?
I um, I played on his sympathy.
Come on, let's go, we
got lots of work to do.
Wait a second, we should
go back and thank him.
Oh, no, no, no, he
said not to bother
because you have so much
work to be done, go on.
Hello, this is Rick Howell.
Oh that's great, Mr. Brown,
I can't thank you enough.
You'll receive your
contracts tomorrow.
Yes, I'll take care of that too.
Thanks again, bye.
Who's the call from?
The Rip Chord's manager.
You mean they can
make it after all?
You bet they can.
Oh, that's great, now
all we have to worry about
is The Righteous Brothers,
and then the entertainment's all set.
Cindy, I've got a feeling we're
gonna be here all summer long.
Now get to work.
Speaking of work,
Shirley, where's Van Gogh.
Mickey, I don't know.
He probably went to
cut off his ear.
Not even that would
help his artwork.
But it could do wonders
for a certain romance.
I mean, alone at last.
Are you trying to seduce me?
Whatever gave you that idea?
Ah yes, the sweet smell
of honest sweat.
Horse's sweat, men
perspire, and women glow.
Women glow, well if that's
what you're doing, I like it.
Say, don't you elves
ever take a break.
Sounds tempting, but no thanks.
That's what I like, dedication.
Oh, that reminds me, aren't
you the lifeguard around here?
Head lifeguard.
Remind me not to go swimming.
Well it's not exactly
my type of work,
but then who wants his
allowance cut off?
Are you saying your father
forced you to take this job.
Poor guy, strictly the
hard way uptight, right?
Believes in work.
And what do you believe in?
Myself, good day ladies.
Romeo, Romeo, wherefore
art thou going?
Thank you, ma'am.
Oh, I dropped my hammer.
# Wow #
Oh, sir, could
I leave my sign here?
Sure, go ahead, son.
Thank you, sir.
Wanna join us?
Sure, why not.
Thanks, I'm really
having a good time.
Ha ha, fooled you.
- Look up.
- Oh!
Oh no, are you okay?
Oh no, I'm all right.
- Oh.
- Oh, okay.
Oh no, oh it does hurt, oh yes.
Oh, rub here.
Oh yes, rub right there.
- Don't move.
- Are you hurt?
- Oh, give me some water.
- Say something.
- Give me some water.
- Get him some water.
Oh, that's it, it
hurts right there.
Oh no, right there, oh yeah.
Oh, that feels good.
Oh, right there,
hurts right there.
Oh, water.
That's enough water.
Enough water, oh yes, wipe.
That's enough water.
How are things going?
Oh, just great.
I'm starving, don't we get
a lunch break around here?
I'm sorry Mr. Edison,
you'll have to wait
until after lunch to
discover electricity.
Cindy's child labor law 4700.
All finished at the
concession stand?
Oh, in spite of rain, sleet, snow,
and Shirley's appetite, mission
not quite accomplished, sir.
- Trouble?
- Is there anything else?
Yes, lunch, this way Mr...
Uh, Cindy, why don't you go
ahead and eat with Shirley.
Because I don't want to.
Look, I'll join you both later.
I've only got one more
of these things to fix.
No, why not let it wait
until this afternoon?
Because there's a worn-out lighting
system that needs a lot of work.
Maybe I could help.
Putting you in
the middle of 5,000 strands
of wire would be like cutting
my throat with a dull razor.
All right, you win, but
remember, all work and no play.
Hey, it's Gary Lewis.
- Hiya Gary.
- Hey Rick, how are ya?
Nice to see ya, like
you to meet Cindy Foster.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Mickey James, Shirley Boss,
Gary Lewis.
- Hiya Gary, how are ya?
- Hi, Gary.
What are you doing up
here so early?
Oh, I decided last night
to check in a few days early,
get some sun, relax.
Swingin'.
Say, can we use your
bandstand for a while?
Go right ahead.
Beautiful, 'cause we
got a tour coming up soon.
I thought this would be a good
chance to break in some new material.
Hey, well be our guest.
Say, I work better with an audience.
Why don't you stick around?
Oh, okay.
Come on guys, let's go set up.
You need any help?
No, that's all right.
# Come on baby #
# Hey, ho #
# Whoo #
# Oh, oh, ho #
# Yeah, ho, ho #
# Come on baby #
Gary, that was a great number!
Listen, with you guys playing
like that we can't lose.
Thank you, may we continue?
Sure, go ahead, and Gary,
thanks for coming up here.
You're welcome.
Well we got some work to do.
Let's go, we'll talk to you later.
Wait a minute, Turk, wait.
When you ask a girl for
a date what happens?
Before or after she picks me up?
You know what I mean.
Jeri puts me down
something fierce.
Says I'm a beast or animal.
Any girl ever tell you that?
Only on my good days.
Hey, is that the chick
you were talking about?
Yeah, she never gets
rid of her keeper.
Hello, Cindy.
How are things back
at the factory?
Closed for repairs to our tummies.
Looks like a swim
wouldn't hurt you either.
Oh, is that a medical opinion?
Biological.
Hey, Shirley, I thought
you ordered a tuna sandwich.
Sure, for dessert.
Rick, Mikey, you remember Turk.
- Hello.
- Oh yeah.
You're that big lifeguard.
Hey, can you swim?
What was that?
Bad joke, I was only kidding.
Then do it somewhere else.
That wasn't very nice of you, Mickey.
All right, so what do
you want me to do.
Write it when I make bad
jokes 500 times?
Forget it, Mickey.
Listen conference time, so far
we have Gary Lewis and The
Playboys as the house band.
Got Donnie Brooks on Thursday,
The Rip Chords on Friday,
and The Righteous
Brothers on Saturday.
Cindy, can you and Shirley
handle the concessions all right?
I'm sure, why?
I'm just trying to figure out how
many people we'll have to hire.
If you two can manage
by yourselves
with Mickey to take
tickets and me backstage,
then we'll just need a guy to sell
tickets, at least the first night.
Uh, well that's fine,
but why not get a girl to sell tickets.
Somehow I work better with girls.
Dreamer.
Pardon me big timers, while I go
and soothe Romeo's fevered brow.
Uh, I think my part of
the list just walked by.
Come on, Mickey, you
can chase girls later.
Well now who's chasing girls,
Rick?
I'm after the money, why
that's three paying customers.
2 1/2 hours for lunch.
30 minutes later he
takes off again.
You're annoyed with
Mickey aren't you?
As a matter of fact yes.
He's acting pretty irresponsible.
Oh, what's so
irresponsible about wanting
to have some fun once in a while.
Not everyone is cut out
to be a Simon Legree.
But you think I am?
Oh, the way you're pushing and
trying to do everything at once.
Cindy, it's not smart business
to wait until the last
minute to do things.
Besides an awful lot
rides on this weekend.
This project has to be a success
or I've lost my next
semester's tuition.
My father offered you a job for this
summer and you wouldn't take it.
In fact, he offered you money
to finish school on, didn't he?
How'd you know that?
I eavesdropped, besides
if this doesn't work out
and you're short on money,
it's your own fault.
For the last time, I
appreciate what your father's
tried to do, but I'm...
Too stubborn to take
advantage of it.
Well what are you trying to prove?
That I'm a mature,
responsible human being,
and able to stand on my
own two feet.
So be responsible
when you're 80 years old
and can't be anything else.
That comment wasn't like you.
How do you know what
I'm like anymore?
We never see enough of
each other for that.
All last semester you had
your nose buried in books,
work, work, work, and
now this project.
Knock it off, Cindy, you're
acting stupid and childish.
That's exactly what I
am, a child, and I like it.
Well I don't.
Well then I'll find
somebody who does.
Now remember, the Miss Arrowhead Contest
won't be announced until tomorrow,
so don't tell anyone that I
set up a preliminary meeting
with the head judge.
You can count on us, Mickey.
We're with you, Mickey.
Anything you say, Mickey.
Yeah, well I mean, you know,
we wouldn't want Rick to be accused
of being partial, would we?
No!
Okay, well all up here, girls,
come on.
You're right there, that's it,
line up.
Um, oh Rick, you got a minute?
I got a few contestants
here I thought
maybe you might wanna check out.
Contestants?
Uh, yeah, for the Miss Arrowhead
Contest that we're presenting.
What is this?
A fix, I'm trying to line you up.
It's cheering up time.
Oh wait a minute, I'll
give you some measurements.
All right girls, just line right
up there and I'll measure you.
Mm, my, what a nice rib
cage you got.
Whoops, upside down,
wait a minute.
You must breathe a lot.
Oh, my boyfriend's a weightlifter.
Oh, well, that kills that,
well inhale, yeah, oh boy.
You're about to do
some measuring mister?
Uh, yes I was, but why
don't you just tell me.
38!
- Oh boy.
- Okay, okay,
- ...don't be so nervous.
- Oh my foot!
Oh, excuse me, didn't mean to.
Oh let me, your pretty,
covering up your pretty face.
Hey, Rick, huh?
How do you like that waistline?
Uh, Monsieur Cassini, could you
step over here for a minute, please?
You wait right there girls.
What's the matter, man.
I'm trying to line you up.
And I appreciate it, Mickey,
but...
No dice?
No dice.
Cindy really got to you huh?
Yeah.
Okay.
All right girls, ten hut!
Right face, right face!
Forward march!
Up, up, up, all, up, up, up,
all, up, up.
But Jeri, what's what so
terrible about looking at a girl?
Animal.
Hey, Rick, you ever get the
feeling that you're not alone?
In restaurants, yes, eat.
Oh, I knew it, I knew
it, there she is again.
Don't look, don't look.
Everywhere I turn she's
looking at me and taking notes.
Notes, on what?
On me!
I'm telling you, it's weird.
She's always looking at me.
Okay, go ahead.
- Now?
- Yeah, go ahead.
Wow, what's wrong
with that, she's a gas.
And then we can go moonlight
swimming at my house.
Oh, Rick, would you excuse me
while I talk to my employer.
Be my guest.
Oh, Rick, at what time should
I report for work tomorrow?
We can handle things,
everything is going fine.
I wouldn't bet on it.
Oh, Rick, don't be
such a martyr, what time?
Look, I told you, we
don't need your help.
All right, I'll just come
in whenever I feel like it,
which may not be too early.
Well, how do you like it?
I didn't know you were
gonna paint this.
Food inspires me.
Cindy spent two hours
on the patio last night.
Really?
She waited outside alone,
just so I'd think she got in late.
So.
So don't bother being jealous.
It's not good for your stomach,
upsets the acid content,
can't digest your food.
That would be a tragedy,
thanks Shirley.
Hey you guys.
Guess what I found, a topless
bathing suit with a girl.
- What?
- How'd she look, man?
Look at the front is
as good as the back.
- Time's a wasting.
- Let's go.
Look, I'll go over and
start a conversation.
You guys stay here and cool it.
Yeah, look nonchalant like me.
Excuse me, miss.
The name is Gypsy Boots.
Oh yeah, Mr. Boots, I thought
you were an old friend, I mean...
Don't panic, I look like a
lot of old friends I guess.
Here, have a banana, have
some grapes, have a pepper.
Here have a peach, have a ball,
have a Gypsy Boots Energy Wafer.
Have a cucumber, have a
Gypsy Boots Energy Wafer.
Have some grapes, have
a ball, have a life!
Briefly this is it, you
suffer from a basic insecurity
which manifests itself
through periodic delusions
of grandeur, combined with
narcissistic tendencies
which you tend to sublimate.
Really?
Yes, you're
repressing a great deal.
Why it's obvious in your fantasies
and erroneously
carried-out actions, why?
Oh, I'm just lucky I guess.
Now that's no way to
look at your problems.
How am I going to help you
if you don't cooperate.
Help me what?
Find yourself, become a
well-adjusted, normal human being.
Why don't you call me and
we'll talk about it, all right.
We're going to talk about it now.
After all, I love you, and I...
You what?
Well I don't really love
you, it's just that I decided
that every girl needs to have
at least one summer romance,
and you're mine.
Well why me?
Because I have faith in you.
Somewhere under that rough,
clumsy exterior you have a mind.
- Yeah.
- Not that I want
to quench the hidden fires
that I feel raging within you,
but I do think that a
meeting of the minds
is definitely necessary
before there can be
any perfect blending of
two diametrically-opposed
personalities such as ours.
Now Havelock Ellis says...
Look, excuse me, I don't know
Havelock Ellis, and I gotta go, okay?
Some kind of nut!
So Shirley said that Cindy's
trying to make you jealous, huh?
Maybe the whole thing's more
my fault than I care to admit.
I should call her.
Hi, you want to go the opening
of the new Lake Area
Country Club with us?
Turk says it's fabulous.
No thanks.
Oh, I forgot, you probably
have some work to do.
Nothing like work
for building character.
That looks like you just
saved yourself a dime, Rick.
What do these look like to you?
The Battle of the Bulge.
Well, what did you expect,
the whole Second World War?
You're Rick Howell, aren't you?
Yes, and you're?
Alone, all alone.
And so are you it seems.
I like to read.
And I like to have
someone read to me.
Mind if I join you?
Not if you don't mind
sharing a small beach towel.
Is there any other kind?
Okay, Mickey, turn them on.
That's good, turn them off.
Well everything seems
to check out.
Nothing to do now until the band
arrives except take it easy.
Yeah, I gotta get going,
I have an appointment.
To do what?
Take it easy.
Oh yeah, with who?
Sandra.
Oh, Miss Mechanical Arts
of Arrowhead Beach, huh.
That's an awful good chick.
Wait'll Cindy sees you with her.
I have a feeling that she'll throw
in the towel, Turkish that is.
Oh, Mickey, your jokes lately.
Is it my fault you don't
have a sense of humor?
Mickey, that's a distinct
rationalization on your part.
Oh here she is again.
Just because Rick has a
different frame of reference
to the psychic world than you do,
it doesn't necessarily mean
that he's lacking in human.
Now Freud devoted several
chapters to an examination
of the subject of will,
and, oh excuse me, I should
have introduced myself.
I'm Jeri Mason.
Oh, Rick Howell.
Oh dear, I wonder what that means.
Oh boy.
Because everything we say and do
has a definite meaning, you know.
Yeah, yeah, like a
goodbye for instance.
Oh, but you can't go yet.
Why I haven't even begun to
explain your personality.
I mean if we're going to be
lovers I think it's only fair...
Would you please stop saying that.
Why, does the thought of
being loved frighten you?
I'm not frightened, I'm panicked.
But that's absurd.
Of course, there are
things in your childhood
that I don't know about.
Yeah, I was the
fastest kid on the block.
Oh, Shirley.
Come on, Sandra, we
don't belong here.
I do, I like parties.
Don't let me keep you away.
Turk, don't make waves.
What have I done?
Oh nothing so far,
let's keep it that way.
So what happened to the music?
Just waiting for your
friend to arrive.
Why, I'm here.
Well, call you conspicuous.
Oh, excuse me while I
play hostess.
Rick!
Where are you going?
Back to town.
Well why don't you stay
for the party?
Look, Cindy, haven't
you done enough already?
She certainly has,
and come to think of it
maybe it's about time
you thanked her for it.
Thanked her for what?
For letting you play big
man on her father's money.
Turk, shut up!
What are you talking about?
Where your money came from.
I was with Johnson that first
day, remember, huh, remember?
Cindy put on quite an act
after you left.
Said her father would
put up the money.
She told Johnson not to
say anything, huh?
Yeah, might put a dent in
Rick baby's ego.
Rick, wait!
I didn't mean for you
to find out this way.
But I did, now just
leave me alone.
No, no, no, no, no, I think
it's the other way around.
You leave her alone.
Look, if you want to play hero,
go find yourself a windmill.
Not while I have you available.
All right big timer, you and me.
Proud of yourself?
I might ask you the same thing.
You're as much to blame
for this as I am.
Rick, I'm sorry.
Hey, hey.
Hey.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen.
I'm Gary Lewis and on behalf
of the Playboys and myself,
we'd like to welcome you
here to the Dance Pavilion
up at Lake Arrowhead.
To really kick off this swingin'
summer,
we'd like to bring to you one
of the finest entertainers
in the world, from
Reprise Records,
we bring to you Mr. Personality
himself, Donnie Brooks.
Hi gang.
Hi, Donnie!
I wanna tell you about a woman.
I wanna tell you about
a woman that's crazy.
# I call her Penny the Poo #
# She knows exactly what to do #
# She's a real cool darling #
# She's a hot tamale #
# Yeah she's so cool #
# I call her Penny the Poo #
# Oh Penny the Poo #
# She's a good looker too #
# She's a real cool honey #
# She's a red hot bunny #
# Yeah she's so cool #
# I call her Penny the Poo #
# Well she can twist and shout #
# She can shake it all about #
# She can do the dog #
# She hop like a bug #
# Pretty good at mashed potato #
# Well she's nice too #
# She can so do the bird
and the watusi too #
# Oh Penny the Poo #
# She knows exactly what to do #
# She's a real go-getter #
# She's my babysitter #
# Yeah she's so cool #
# I call her Penny the Poo #
# Yeah she's so cool #
# I call her Penny the Poo #
# Whoa yeah #
Oh boy it looks like
we got it made.
At least for this weekend.
Boy, if we can just keep
it up for the whole summer.
Eh, don't sweat it, Rick.
Hey, Cindy, why don't you take a
break, I can handle things.
Rick, just wanted to
congratulate you
on the success of the dance.
Thanks.
Rick Howell!
For a guy who always says
he likes to play fair,
you don't give me
much of a chance.
I want to apologize for
the way I acted.
All I ever meant to
do was to help.
Somehow everything got
twisted around.
That first day at Mr. Johnson's,
well, you needed money.
- My father has plenty.
- So you talked him
into giving some to your
needy boyfriend...
Oh, it was not a gift,
he loaned it.
12% percent interest,
I started it.
12%, that's illegal.
I know it, but I
thought you'd feel better
if he were taking advantage of you
instead of you're taking
advantage of him.
Well I've got news for him,
he'll get six and not a penny more.
Anything you say Mr. Howell.
Hi, what's new?
Dermal optical perception.
Mm, sounds wild.
I say we try it tonight.
And I know just the place,
moonlight, music, badness.
Mush.
Don't hand me the jazz.
I saw you with Mickey last night.
The way you were looking at him you
could have smothered him to death.
I'm ready to die.
Sorry, but mercy
killing isn't legal.
What is that supposed to mean?
- Nothing to you.
- You know, Jeri, you treat me
like I've got some kind
of disease or something.
You have, lockjaw of the brain.
Come on, everybody into the lake.
Come on, get up there.
Oh, just for one ski race.
Hey, Mickey!
What about a chicken run?
Yeah sure, you got any chickens?
I think I've got one, you.
What do you mean?
I think you're afraid
to play chicken, on skis.
What are you talking about?
A little poultry contest.
Instead of using cars we use
skis with boats flat out.
Knock it off Tony, those crazy
contests were outlawed years ago.
We know you have guts.
I want to find out
if Mr. Chicken has any.
I think the whole thing
is ridiculous and dangerous.
But if it's not dangerous
how are we gonna prove
who's the better man?
What's the difference?
Tony, I will not allow you to goad
Mickey into this ridiculous race.
Mickey, it would be
beneath you to indulge
in such a crude display
of animalistic tendencies.
Now you have a mind, you don't
need to compete physically.
Haven't you even got nerve enough
to admit that you're chicken?
Gonna let her do it for you?
I can take care of myself.
Then prove it.
Look, I don't even know
how this contest works.
Don't try to chicken out,
I'll show you, when we're on skis.
Tony, why don't you take
off and leave Mickey alone?
Why is everyone trying to
protect me all of a sudden?
Because you're asking for trouble
if you get into this race!
Look, I'm a pretty good skier!
How good are you at getting
knocked into the water
with boats flat out?
Who says it's gonna be me, Rick?
It will.
The point is somebody's gonna get
hurt, and could be killed.
Sounds like they're
trying to scare you, Mickey.
Get the boats ready.
What happens now?
You'll see.
Hit it!
Now we split and head
straight for each other.
Come on!
Is he okay?
I don't know, get him in the boat.
Boy, I thought you were a goner.
Thanks man.
Your name better be Turk.
- It is.
- Good.
Then you buy us another round.
Look, I'm in a hurry.
You guys wanna earn
some money or not?
Look kid, you called
me, I didn't call you.
Now what's the deal?
There'll be a dance
at the pavilion tonight.
I want you to go in there
and break it up.
It'll be 20 bucks to each of you.
Double it.
Oh, it's worth it.
There'll be two guys at the gate.
One answers to the name
of Mickey, forget him.
But the other, Rick Howell,
he's the one.
You won't have any trouble.
Sounds easy enough.
One more thing kid,
you'd better be on the level.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Lake Arrowhead Pavilion
is proud to present to you
a group known worldwide
for their surfing and
hot rod records.

# The big Chrysler really
makes her nothing but fast #
# I'm hell on them drags

# You'll never shut
her so don't even try #
# Just give me some
room and let me go by #
# In my Roadster #
# My red hot Roadster #
# I'm running whitewall
slicks and big mag wheels #
# I'm coming off the line
you know she really peels #
# I really turn her on
when the flag is dropped #
# She still wants to go
when my shoot is popped #
# You'll never shut
her so don't even try #
# Just give me some

# My red hot Roadster #
# Even on the street you
know she runs out fine #
# Nine more payments and
she'll be mine #
# She's the best in town
though I hate to brag #
# I wouldn't trade her
in on a brand new Jag #

- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Well, I guess that
wraps it up for tonight.
Yeah, you know, it looks like
the best night so far, Rick baby.
How's business Rick baby?
Couldn't be better, sir.
Good, let's have three tickets.
I'm sorry, these dances
are for teenagers only.
No adults are admitted.
I'm a teenager, how
about you boys?
- Yeah.
- We're just sweet 16.
Uh, now look fellas, we
don't want any trouble.
We'd appreciate if
you'd leave now.
Look kid, do you want the
money or do we go in free?
Hey, knock it off,
knock it off, we'll leave.
Rick, you
want me to call the cops?
No, keep it private.
Tell the band to keep playing.
We came to have fun,
let's have some.
Gary, hit it!
Rick, are you all right.
I am now if these guys are
out of here.
Oop, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh, hey!
Come on, baby!
Come on, baby!
There it is, we'll wait
till he comes out, park it.
You're not a very good
judge of character, kid.
Them heifers we were supposed to
tango with turned out to be bulls.
If you're looking for more
money I haven't got any.
Yeah, I know you don't,
but your friends do,
and you're gonna help us get it.
Let us finish it in the car.
Tis a far, far courser thing I do,
then I have ever done before.
# Now listen here boys,
I used to be a square #
# But now I found out
I was really nowhere #
# I used to dig Freud
and Shakespeare too #
# No more baby 'cause I dig you #
# Well I'm ready to groove #
# And I'm ready to move #
# Well I know what I've
been missing #
# And I'm ready for his kissing #
# And I'm ready to groove #
# If you like math, and
the one, two, three #
# Or of you dig statistics,
then you like what you see #
# At least 36, not more than 23 #
# 36 baby, and it's all me #
# And I'm ready to groove #
# Oh yeah I'm ready to move #
# Well I know what I've
been missing #
# And I'm ready for his kissing #
# Yeah, I'm ready to groove #
# Oh I've been such a silly girl #
# Never giving love a chance #
# Now I see how wrong I've been #
# And I'll take romance #
# Now you know I've
seen the light #
# I mean to say I'd
rather switch than fight #
# So come on baby, hold me tight #
# Whoo baby gonna
rock it tonight #
# Well I'm ready to groove #
# Yeah I'm ready to move #
# Well I know what I've
been missing #

Cindy.
Turk, what do you want?
Cindy, I've gotta
make a phone call.
Can you let me in the office?
Turk, are you in some
kind of trouble?
Is that par for the course
where I'm concerned, huh?
Help me out.
Sure, let me go get the keys.
I'll bring the key back
as soon as I'm finished.
Well that's okay, I'll wait.
I don't want you to.
Well why not, what's the difference?
Look, I just don't want you to,
that's all.
I wanna talk to Turk for a minute.
Good boy, Turk, get it, Lou.
Get what?
Turk, what are they talking about?
Hey, ma'am, ma'am,
we're just playing
a little game, it's called bakery.
We've come to pick up the bread.
I got it.
Let's move.
You said we're gonna
keep her out of this.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Rick, Rick!
Let her go,
lets head for the lake!
Rick, the cashbox,
they've got the money.
Are you all right.
I'm okay.
- What's up?
- They got the cashbox,
let's get 'em.
Where'd they go?
What do you care?
I care, where are they?
Hey, Turk, what happened,
what happened?
Come on let's go.
Hey wait!
Leave him!
Lou, this one!
Take care of him!
Come on, we'll take my boat.
Who asked you?
Look, we can grind
up private axes later,
right now your money
and your whole summers
headed out the sea, come on!
Mickey.
Oh man, muah!
Like I said before man,
this is gonna be a swingin' summer.
Ladies and gentlemen,
gives me great pleasure
to introduce to you the

Excuse me I was just
handed this announcement.
Let's see what we've got here.
Bad news, the Lake
Arrowhead Dance Pavilion
will not be open this summer.
Seems the promoters had
other commitments,
and everybody who was
scheduled to work on Monday
is now notified not to report.
Tough break, so get busy
finding yourselves other jobs,
but not until Donnie Brooks but...
That's great, that puts us
out of a job for the summer.
Look I turned down that lifeguard
offer at the beach, oh brother.
Well, may as well turn
around and head back to LA.
Hey wait, that job
with dad is still open.
Maybe he could hire both of you.
Thanks, Cindy, but...
But what?
What's wrong with working
for my father.
Look, Cindy, we've
been through this before.
He doesn't need me, it
would be just a handout.
I don't understand you,
you're so touchy about money.
Not money, charity, let's drop it.
Hey wait a minute, wait a
minute, I just got an idea.
Why don't we take over the
Dance Pavilion.
I have a friend who's
with National Town
who can get us some swingin'
groups.
Between the two of us we come up
with a couple hundred dollars.
We just might do it.
Let's go on up to Arrowhead
and talk to Mr. Johnson,
manager of the village.
What do we got to lose?
Uh $200.
Well, it's worth a try.
Well, it's okay by me.
Man, I got a feeling this is
gonna be a swingin' summer.
# Ooh ooh ah ooh #
# We're gonna have a swingin'
summer #
# For a fun to water ski #
# Until there's no
more sunscreen #
# Watusi all night #
# We're gonna do it up right #
# It's gonna be a swingin'
summer #
# We're gonna have a
summertime we won't forget #
# Then we'll sleep #
# And baby you can bet #
# When the summer is gone #
# All the memories will
live on a good summer #
# Remember #
# Gonna see it up at the lake #
# Each man my joy that will take #
# We'll make our plans
while holding hands #
# We'll kiss and then
we'll love our summertime #
# A perfect time to fall in love #
# And all the dreams that
we've been dreaming of #
# Are gonna all come
true this summer too #
# You'll see this
summer, swingin' summer #
# Swingin' summer fun #
# Wah wah ooh #
# Swingin' summer fun #
# Wah wah ooh #
# Swingin' summer full of fun #
# Wah wah ooh #
# Swingin' summer full of fun #
# Wah wah ooh #
You wait here, I'll
see if Mr. Johnson is in.
Oh, if you geniuses can
pull this off,
you'll make enough money to put
yourself through next semester.
You know, if we handle
the dances right,
I mean, you know, get
some good name groups
and the right promotion,
we'll be able
to make enough money to put
ourself through post-grad.
Oh, Mickey, I'm so excited.
Let's keep our fingers crossed
and hope that Rick can sell
Mr. Johnson on the idea.
That son of a gun,
at last, dental school.
Dr. Howell and James at
your service.
We fill 'em and we pull 'em.
You sound like you're
running a gas station.
Funny, that's very funny.
Funny thing you just said.
He's not here, he's over at the
lodge having lunch by the pool.
Oh good, let's go
over there and see him.
Mr. Johnson, we'd like to speak
to you for a moment, please.
Why certainly, Mr. Wallace and
I have finished our business.
What can I do for you?
Sir, I'm Rick Howell.
How do you do?
Cindy Foster and Mickey James.
- Oh, oh.
- Hello, sir.
This young man is Turk
Wallace, our head lifeguard.
Turk Wallace, the all-American.
Among other things.
Sir, we heard your
announcement on the radio.
Oh yes, the cancellation,
I'm sorry about that boys.
Are you part of the group
that was due to work here?
Yes sir, that's why we
wanted to talk to you.
We'd, we'd like the opportunity of
putting on the dances ourselves.
Well that's all well and good,
but it'll take a great deal of money.
How much money you boys have?
$200 right now, but
we're planning on deferring
some of the payments till
after the first weekend.
You see, a friend of Rick's is an agent,
and of course he could line
us up with some talent.
We'd give the performers
a percentage of the gate,
and give you at least two
weeks rent on Sunday night
after the opening.
That is of course if your
price isn't too high.
I'm afraid it's more
than the rent boys.
There are certain guarantees
that have to be made
to the performers, and if
you're not able to live up
to your obligations you will get
into a great deal of trouble.
If we could just have a one-week
trial period, that's all.
As manager of Lake
Arrowhead Village,
I have its reputation to consider.
If your plans fall through,
gives a village a bad name,
performers will be afraid
to appear here.
Well, how much money do we need
to cover the first weekend?
Oh, $1,000.
$1,000?
I'm afraid you just put us
out of business, Mr. Johnson,
Temporarily that is.
Oh I'm sorry boys, I
really wish I could help you.
Thanks anyway, Mickey, let's go.
My sunglasses, I left
them on the table.
I'll be right back.
Okay, we'll meet you at the car.
Mr. Johnson, my father
is John Posture.
Oh yes, I know him.
You have a house here on the lake.
Well he would put up the money and
make those guarantees or whatever.
I'll have him call you tonight.
Well, that changes the
whole picture.
But please, don't tell Rick.
I see.
You have a boyfriend who
likes to do things on his own.
Man, has he got problems.
Well, I'd like to pretend
that you just changed your mind.
I have now.
This place could be a gold mine.
We've got to raise that money.
Well, if you ask me,
Rick, I think we oughta
take those jobs from
Cindy's father.
Look, Mickey, I'm
telling you the same thing
I told Cindy, no charity.
All right, all right,
got any other ideas.
Yeah, I'm gonna call that agent,
see if he can get some groups
to come up here on a percentage.
Hey, that's a good idea.
Quick, who's the sharpest
businesswoman you know?
What, what are you talking about?
Oh, I just talked Mr. Johnson into letting
us have the pavilion for one weekend.
- You did?
- Hey.
Well, what'd you say to him?
I um, I played on his sympathy.
Come on, let's go, we
got lots of work to do.
Wait a second, we should
go back and thank him.
Oh, no, no, no, he
said not to bother
because you have so much
work to be done, go on.
Hello, this is Rick Howell.
Oh that's great, Mr. Brown,
I can't thank you enough.
You'll receive your
contracts tomorrow.
Yes, I'll take care of that too.
Thanks again, bye.
Who's the call from?
The Rip Chord's manager.
You mean they can
make it after all?
You bet they can.
Oh, that's great, now
all we have to worry about
is The Righteous Brothers,
and then the entertainment's all set.
Cindy, I've got a feeling we're
gonna be here all summer long.
Now get to work.
Speaking of work,
Shirley, where's Van Gogh.
Mickey, I don't know.
He probably went to
cut off his ear.
Not even that would
help his artwork.
But it could do wonders
for a certain romance.
I mean, alone at last.
Are you trying to seduce me?
Whatever gave you that idea?
Ah yes, the sweet smell
of honest sweat.
Horse's sweat, men
perspire, and women glow.
Women glow, well if that's
what you're doing, I like it.
Say, don't you elves
ever take a break.
Sounds tempting, but no thanks.
That's what I like, dedication.
Oh, that reminds me, aren't
you the lifeguard around here?
Head lifeguard.
Remind me not to go swimming.
Well it's not exactly
my type of work,
but then who wants his
allowance cut off?
Are you saying your father
forced you to take this job.
Poor guy, strictly the
hard way uptight, right?
Believes in work.
And what do you believe in?
Myself, good day ladies.
Romeo, Romeo, wherefore
art thou going?
Thank you, ma'am.
Oh, I dropped my hammer.
# Wow #
Oh, sir, could
I leave my sign here?
Sure, go ahead, son.
Thank you, sir.
Wanna join us?
Sure, why not.
Thanks, I'm really
having a good time.
Ha ha, fooled you.
- Look up.
- Oh!
Oh no, are you okay?
Oh no, I'm all right.
- Oh.
- Oh, okay.
Oh no, oh it does hurt, oh yes.
Oh, rub here.
Oh yes, rub right there.
- Don't move.
- Are you hurt?
- Oh, give me some water.
- Say something.
- Give me some water.
- Get him some water.
Oh, that's it, it
hurts right there.
Oh no, right there, oh yeah.
Oh, that feels good.
Oh, right there,
hurts right there.
Oh, water.
That's enough water.
Enough water, oh yes, wipe.
That's enough water.
How are things going?
Oh, just great.
I'm starving, don't we get
a lunch break around here?
I'm sorry Mr. Edison,
you'll have to wait
until after lunch to
discover electricity.
Cindy's child labor law 4700.
All finished at the
concession stand?
Oh, in spite of rain, sleet, snow,
and Shirley's appetite, mission
not quite accomplished, sir.
- Trouble?
- Is there anything else?
Yes, lunch, this way Mr...
Uh, Cindy, why don't you go
ahead and eat with Shirley.
Because I don't want to.
Look, I'll join you both later.
I've only got one more
of these things to fix.
No, why not let it wait
until this afternoon?
Because there's a worn-out lighting
system that needs a lot of work.
Maybe I could help.
Putting you in
the middle of 5,000 strands
of wire would be like cutting
my throat with a dull razor.
All right, you win, but
remember, all work and no play.
Hey, it's Gary Lewis.
- Hiya Gary.
- Hey Rick, how are ya?
Nice to see ya, like
you to meet Cindy Foster.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Mickey James, Shirley Boss,
Gary Lewis.
- Hiya Gary, how are ya?
- Hi, Gary.
What are you doing up
here so early?
Oh, I decided last night
to check in a few days early,
get some sun, relax.
Swingin'.
Say, can we use your
bandstand for a while?
Go right ahead.
Beautiful, 'cause we
got a tour coming up soon.
I thought this would be a good
chance to break in some new material.
Hey, well be our guest.
Say, I work better with an audience.
Why don't you stick around?
Oh, okay.
Come on guys, let's go set up.
You need any help?
No, that's all right.
# Come on baby #
# Hey, ho #
# Whoo #
# Oh, oh, ho #
# Yeah, ho, ho #
# Come on baby #
Gary, that was a great number!
Listen, with you guys playing
like that we can't lose.
Thank you, may we continue?
Sure, go ahead, and Gary,
thanks for coming up here.
You're welcome.
Well we got some work to do.
Let's go, we'll talk to you later.
Wait a minute, Turk, wait.
When you ask a girl for
a date what happens?
Before or after she picks me up?
You know what I mean.
Jeri puts me down
something fierce.
Says I'm a beast or animal.
Any girl ever tell you that?
Only on my good days.
Hey, is that the chick
you were talking about?
Yeah, she never gets
rid of her keeper.
Hello, Cindy.
How are things back
at the factory?
Closed for repairs to our tummies.
Looks like a swim
wouldn't hurt you either.
Oh, is that a medical opinion?
Biological.
Hey, Shirley, I thought
you ordered a tuna sandwich.
Sure, for dessert.
Rick, Mikey, you remember Turk.
- Hello.
- Oh yeah.
You're that big lifeguard.
Hey, can you swim?
What was that?
Bad joke, I was only kidding.
Then do it somewhere else.
That wasn't very nice of you, Mickey.
All right, so what do
you want me to do.
Write it when I make bad
jokes 500 times?
Forget it, Mickey.
Listen conference time, so far
we have Gary Lewis and The
Playboys as the house band.
Got Donnie Brooks on Thursday,
The Rip Chords on Friday,
and The Righteous
Brothers on Saturday.
Cindy, can you and Shirley
handle the concessions all right?
I'm sure, why?
I'm just trying to figure out how
many people we'll have to hire.
If you two can manage
by yourselves
with Mickey to take
tickets and me backstage,
then we'll just need a guy to sell
tickets, at least the first night.
Uh, well that's fine,
but why not get a girl to sell tickets.
Somehow I work better with girls.
Dreamer.
Pardon me big timers, while I go
and soothe Romeo's fevered brow.
Uh, I think my part of
the list just walked by.
Come on, Mickey, you
can chase girls later.
Well now who's chasing girls,
Rick?
I'm after the money, why
that's three paying customers.
2 1/2 hours for lunch.
30 minutes later he
takes off again.
You're annoyed with
Mickey aren't you?
As a matter of fact yes.
He's acting pretty irresponsible.
Oh, what's so
irresponsible about wanting
to have some fun once in a while.
Not everyone is cut out
to be a Simon Legree.
But you think I am?
Oh, the way you're pushing and
trying to do everything at once.
Cindy, it's not smart business
to wait until the last
minute to do things.
Besides an awful lot
rides on this weekend.
This project has to be a success
or I've lost my next
semester's tuition.
My father offered you a job for this
summer and you wouldn't take it.
In fact, he offered you money
to finish school on, didn't he?
How'd you know that?
I eavesdropped, besides
if this doesn't work out
and you're short on money,
it's your own fault.
For the last time, I
appreciate what your father's
tried to do, but I'm...
Too stubborn to take
advantage of it.
Well what are you trying to prove?
That I'm a mature,
responsible human being,
and able to stand on my
own two feet.
So be responsible
when you're 80 years old
and can't be anything else.
That comment wasn't like you.
How do you know what
I'm like anymore?
We never see enough of
each other for that.
All last semester you had
your nose buried in books,
work, work, work, and
now this project.
Knock it off, Cindy, you're
acting stupid and childish.
That's exactly what I
am, a child, and I like it.
Well I don't.
Well then I'll find
somebody who does.
Now remember, the Miss Arrowhead Contest
won't be announced until tomorrow,
so don't tell anyone that I
set up a preliminary meeting
with the head judge.
You can count on us, Mickey.
We're with you, Mickey.
Anything you say, Mickey.
Yeah, well I mean, you know,
we wouldn't want Rick to be accused
of being partial, would we?
No!
Okay, well all up here, girls,
come on.
You're right there, that's it,
line up.
Um, oh Rick, you got a minute?
I got a few contestants
here I thought
maybe you might wanna check out.
Contestants?
Uh, yeah, for the Miss Arrowhead
Contest that we're presenting.
What is this?
A fix, I'm trying to line you up.
It's cheering up time.
Oh wait a minute, I'll
give you some measurements.
All right girls, just line right
up there and I'll measure you.
Mm, my, what a nice rib
cage you got.
Whoops, upside down,
wait a minute.
You must breathe a lot.
Oh, my boyfriend's a weightlifter.
Oh, well, that kills that,
well inhale, yeah, oh boy.
You're about to do
some measuring mister?
Uh, yes I was, but why
don't you just tell me.
38!
- Oh boy.
- Okay, okay,
- ...don't be so nervous.
- Oh my foot!
Oh, excuse me, didn't mean to.
Oh let me, your pretty,
covering up your pretty face.
Hey, Rick, huh?
How do you like that waistline?
Uh, Monsieur Cassini, could you
step over here for a minute, please?
You wait right there girls.
What's the matter, man.
I'm trying to line you up.
And I appreciate it, Mickey,
but...
No dice?
No dice.
Cindy really got to you huh?
Yeah.
Okay.
All right girls, ten hut!
Right face, right face!
Forward march!
Up, up, up, all, up, up, up,
all, up, up.
But Jeri, what's what so
terrible about looking at a girl?
Animal.
Hey, Rick, you ever get the
feeling that you're not alone?
In restaurants, yes, eat.
Oh, I knew it, I knew
it, there she is again.
Don't look, don't look.
Everywhere I turn she's
looking at me and taking notes.
Notes, on what?
On me!
I'm telling you, it's weird.
She's always looking at me.
Okay, go ahead.
- Now?
- Yeah, go ahead.
Wow, what's wrong
with that, she's a gas.
And then we can go moonlight
swimming at my house.
Oh, Rick, would you excuse me
while I talk to my employer.
Be my guest.
Oh, Rick, at what time should
I report for work tomorrow?
We can handle things,
everything is going fine.
I wouldn't bet on it.
Oh, Rick, don't be
such a martyr, what time?
Look, I told you, we
don't need your help.
All right, I'll just come
in whenever I feel like it,
which may not be too early.
Well, how do you like it?
I didn't know you were
gonna paint this.
Food inspires me.
Cindy spent two hours
on the patio last night.
Really?
She waited outside alone,
just so I'd think she got in late.
So.
So don't bother being jealous.
It's not good for your stomach,
upsets the acid content,
can't digest your food.
That would be a tragedy,
thanks Shirley.
Hey you guys.
Guess what I found, a topless
bathing suit with a girl.
- What?
- How'd she look, man?
Look at the front is
as good as the back.
- Time's a wasting.
- Let's go.
Look, I'll go over and
start a conversation.
You guys stay here and cool it.
Yeah, look nonchalant like me.
Excuse me, miss.
The name is Gypsy Boots.
Oh yeah, Mr. Boots, I thought
you were an old friend, I mean...
Don't panic, I look like a
lot of old friends I guess.
Here, have a banana, have
some grapes, have a pepper.
Here have a peach, have a ball,
have a Gypsy Boots Energy Wafer.
Have a cucumber, have a
Gypsy Boots Energy Wafer.
Have some grapes, have
a ball, have a life!
Briefly this is it, you
suffer from a basic insecurity
which manifests itself
through periodic delusions
of grandeur, combined with
narcissistic tendencies
which you tend to sublimate.
Really?
Yes, you're
repressing a great deal.
Why it's obvious in your fantasies
and erroneously
carried-out actions, why?
Oh, I'm just lucky I guess.
Now that's no way to
look at your problems.
How am I going to help you
if you don't cooperate.
Help me what?
Find yourself, become a
well-adjusted, normal human being.
Why don't you call me and
we'll talk about it, all right.
We're going to talk about it now.
After all, I love you, and I...
You what?
Well I don't really love
you, it's just that I decided
that every girl needs to have
at least one summer romance,
and you're mine.
Well why me?
Because I have faith in you.
Somewhere under that rough,
clumsy exterior you have a mind.
- Yeah.
- Not that I want
to quench the hidden fires
that I feel raging within you,
but I do think that a
meeting of the minds
is definitely necessary
before there can be
any perfect blending of
two diametrically-opposed
personalities such as ours.
Now Havelock Ellis says...
Look, excuse me, I don't know
Havelock Ellis, and I gotta go, okay?
Some kind of nut!
So Shirley said that Cindy's
trying to make you jealous, huh?
Maybe the whole thing's more
my fault than I care to admit.
I should call her.
Hi, you want to go the opening
of the new Lake Area
Country Club with us?
Turk says it's fabulous.
No thanks.
Oh, I forgot, you probably
have some work to do.
Nothing like work
for building character.
That looks like you just
saved yourself a dime, Rick.
What do these look like to you?
The Battle of the Bulge.
Well, what did you expect,
the whole Second World War?
You're Rick Howell, aren't you?
Yes, and you're?
Alone, all alone.
And so are you it seems.
I like to read.
And I like to have
someone read to me.
Mind if I join you?
Not if you don't mind
sharing a small beach towel.
Is there any other kind?
Okay, Mickey, turn them on.
That's good, turn them off.
Well everything seems
to check out.
Nothing to do now until the band
arrives except take it easy.
Yeah, I gotta get going,
I have an appointment.
To do what?
Take it easy.
Oh yeah, with who?
Sandra.
Oh, Miss Mechanical Arts
of Arrowhead Beach, huh.
That's an awful good chick.
Wait'll Cindy sees you with her.
I have a feeling that she'll throw
in the towel, Turkish that is.
Oh, Mickey, your jokes lately.
Is it my fault you don't
have a sense of humor?
Mickey, that's a distinct
rationalization on your part.
Oh here she is again.
Just because Rick has a
different frame of reference
to the psychic world than you do,
it doesn't necessarily mean
that he's lacking in human.
Now Freud devoted several
chapters to an examination
of the subject of will,
and, oh excuse me, I should
have introduced myself.
I'm Jeri Mason.
Oh, Rick Howell.
Oh dear, I wonder what that means.
Oh boy.
Because everything we say and do
has a definite meaning, you know.
Yeah, yeah, like a
goodbye for instance.
Oh, but you can't go yet.
Why I haven't even begun to
explain your personality.
I mean if we're going to be
lovers I think it's only fair...
Would you please stop saying that.
Why, does the thought of
being loved frighten you?
I'm not frightened, I'm panicked.
But that's absurd.
Of course, there are
things in your childhood
that I don't know about.
Yeah, I was the
fastest kid on the block.
Oh, Shirley.
Come on, Sandra, we
don't belong here.
I do, I like parties.
Don't let me keep you away.
Turk, don't make waves.
What have I done?
Oh nothing so far,
let's keep it that way.
So what happened to the music?
Just waiting for your
friend to arrive.
Why, I'm here.
Well, call you conspicuous.
Oh, excuse me while I
play hostess.
Rick!
Where are you going?
Back to town.
Well why don't you stay
for the party?
Look, Cindy, haven't
you done enough already?
She certainly has,
and come to think of it
maybe it's about time
you thanked her for it.
Thanked her for what?
For letting you play big
man on her father's money.
Turk, shut up!
What are you talking about?
Where your money came from.
I was with Johnson that first
day, remember, huh, remember?
Cindy put on quite an act
after you left.
Said her father would
put up the money.
She told Johnson not to
say anything, huh?
Yeah, might put a dent in
Rick baby's ego.
Rick, wait!
I didn't mean for you
to find out this way.
But I did, now just
leave me alone.
No, no, no, no, no, I think
it's the other way around.
You leave her alone.
Look, if you want to play hero,
go find yourself a windmill.
Not while I have you available.
All right big timer, you and me.
Proud of yourself?
I might ask you the same thing.
You're as much to blame
for this as I am.
Rick, I'm sorry.
Hey, hey.
Hey.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen.
I'm Gary Lewis and on behalf
of the Playboys and myself,
we'd like to welcome you
here to the Dance Pavilion
up at Lake Arrowhead.
To really kick off this swingin'
summer,
we'd like to bring to you one
of the finest entertainers
in the world, from
Reprise Records,
we bring to you Mr. Personality
himself, Donnie Brooks.
Hi gang.
Hi, Donnie!
I wanna tell you about a woman.
I wanna tell you about
a woman that's crazy.
# I call her Penny the Poo #
# She knows exactly what to do #
# She's a real cool darling #
# She's a hot tamale #
# Yeah she's so cool #
# I call her Penny the Poo #
# Oh Penny the Poo #
# She's a good looker too #
# She's a real cool honey #
# She's a red hot bunny #
# Yeah she's so cool #
# I call her Penny the Poo #
# Well she can twist and shout #
# She can shake it all about #
# She can do the dog #
# She hop like a bug #
# Pretty good at mashed potato #
# Well she's nice too #
# She can so do the bird
and the watusi too #
# Oh Penny the Poo #
# She knows exactly what to do #
# She's a real go-getter #
# She's my babysitter #
# Yeah she's so cool #
# I call her Penny the Poo #
# Yeah she's so cool #
# I call her Penny the Poo #
# Whoa yeah #
Oh boy it looks like
we got it made.
At least for this weekend.
Boy, if we can just keep
it up for the whole summer.
Eh, don't sweat it, Rick.
Hey, Cindy, why don't you take a
break, I can handle things.
Rick, just wanted to
congratulate you
on the success of the dance.
Thanks.
Rick Howell!
For a guy who always says
he likes to play fair,
you don't give me
much of a chance.
I want to apologize for
the way I acted.
All I ever meant to
do was to help.
Somehow everything got
twisted around.
That first day at Mr. Johnson's,
well, you needed money.
- My father has plenty.
- So you talked him
into giving some to your
needy boyfriend...
Oh, it was not a gift,
he loaned it.
12% percent interest,
I started it.
12%, that's illegal.
I know it, but I
thought you'd feel better
if he were taking advantage of you
instead of you're taking
advantage of him.
Well I've got news for him,
he'll get six and not a penny more.
Anything you say Mr. Howell.
Hi, what's new?
Dermal optical perception.
Mm, sounds wild.
I say we try it tonight.
And I know just the place,
moonlight, music, badness.
Mush.
Don't hand me the jazz.
I saw you with Mickey last night.
The way you were looking at him you
could have smothered him to death.
I'm ready to die.
Sorry, but mercy
killing isn't legal.
What is that supposed to mean?
- Nothing to you.
- You know, Jeri, you treat me
like I've got some kind
of disease or something.
You have, lockjaw of the brain.
Come on, everybody into the lake.
Come on, get up there.
Oh, just for one ski race.
Hey, Mickey!
What about a chicken run?
Yeah sure, you got any chickens?
I think I've got one, you.
What do you mean?
I think you're afraid
to play chicken, on skis.
What are you talking about?
A little poultry contest.
Instead of using cars we use
skis with boats flat out.
Knock it off Tony, those crazy
contests were outlawed years ago.
We know you have guts.
I want to find out
if Mr. Chicken has any.
I think the whole thing
is ridiculous and dangerous.
But if it's not dangerous
how are we gonna prove
who's the better man?
What's the difference?
Tony, I will not allow you to goad
Mickey into this ridiculous race.
Mickey, it would be
beneath you to indulge
in such a crude display
of animalistic tendencies.
Now you have a mind, you don't
need to compete physically.
Haven't you even got nerve enough
to admit that you're chicken?
Gonna let her do it for you?
I can take care of myself.
Then prove it.
Look, I don't even know
how this contest works.
Don't try to chicken out,
I'll show you, when we're on skis.
Tony, why don't you take
off and leave Mickey alone?
Why is everyone trying to
protect me all of a sudden?
Because you're asking for trouble
if you get into this race!
Look, I'm a pretty good skier!
How good are you at getting
knocked into the water
with boats flat out?
Who says it's gonna be me, Rick?
It will.
The point is somebody's gonna get
hurt, and could be killed.
Sounds like they're
trying to scare you, Mickey.
Get the boats ready.
What happens now?
You'll see.
Hit it!
Now we split and head
straight for each other.
Come on!
Is he okay?
I don't know, get him in the boat.
Boy, I thought you were a goner.
Thanks man.
Your name better be Turk.
- It is.
- Good.
Then you buy us another round.
Look, I'm in a hurry.
You guys wanna earn
some money or not?
Look kid, you called
me, I didn't call you.
Now what's the deal?
There'll be a dance
at the pavilion tonight.
I want you to go in there
and break it up.
It'll be 20 bucks to each of you.
Double it.
Oh, it's worth it.
There'll be two guys at the gate.
One answers to the name
of Mickey, forget him.
But the other, Rick Howell,
he's the one.
You won't have any trouble.
Sounds easy enough.
One more thing kid,
you'd better be on the level.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Lake Arrowhead Pavilion

- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Well, I guess that
wraps it up for tonight.
Yeah, you know, it looks like
the best night so far, Rick baby.
How's business Rick baby?
Couldn't be better, sir.
Good, let's have three tickets.
I'm sorry, these dances
are for teenagers only.
No adults are admitted.
I'm a teenager, how
about you boys?
- Yeah.
- We're just sweet 16.
Uh, now look fellas, we
don't want any trouble.
We'd appreciate if
you'd leave now.
Look kid, do you want the
money or do we go in free?
Hey, knock it off,
knock it off, we'll leave.
Rick, you
want me to call the cops?
No, keep it private.
Tell the band to keep playing.
We came to have fun,
let's have some.
Gary, hit it!
Rick, are you all right.
I am now if these guys are
out of here.
Oop, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh, hey!
Come on, baby!
Come on, baby!
There it is, we'll wait
till he comes out, park it.
You're not a very good
judge of character, kid.
Them heifers we were supposed to
tango with turned out to be bulls.
If you're looking for more
money I haven't got any.
Yeah, I know you don't,
but your friends do,
and you're gonna help us get it.
Let us finish it in the car.
Tis a far, far courser thing I do,
then I have ever done before.
# Now listen here boys,
I used to be a square #
# But now I found out
I was really nowhere #
# I used to dig Freud
and Shakespeare too #
# No more baby 'cause I dig you #
# Well I'm ready to groove #
# And I'm ready to move #
# Well I know what I've
been missing #
# And I'm ready for his kissing #
# And I'm ready to groove #
# If you like math, and
the one, two, three #
# Or of you dig statistics,
then you like what you see #
# At least 36, not more than 23 #
# 36 baby, and it's all me #
# And I'm ready to groove #
# Oh yeah I'm ready to move #
# Well I know what I've
been missing #
# And I'm ready for his kissing #
# Yeah, I'm ready to groove #
# Oh I've been such a silly girl #
# Never giving love a chance #
# Now I see how wrong I've been #
# And I'll take romance #
# Now you know I've
seen the light #
# I mean to say I'd
rather switch than fight #
# So come on baby, hold me tight #
# Whoo baby gonna
rock it tonight #
# Well I'm ready to groove #
# Yeah I'm ready to move #
# Well I know what I've
been missing #

# Well I know what I've
been missing #

# Yeah I'm ready to groove #
Cindy.
Turk, what do you want?
Cindy, I've gotta
make a phone call.
Can you let me in the office?
Turk, are you in some
kind of trouble?
Is that par for the course
where I'm concerned, huh?
Help me out.
Sure, let me go get the keys.
I'll bring the key back
as soon as I'm finished.
Well that's okay, I'll wait.
I don't want you to.
Well why not, what's the difference?
Look, I just don't want you to,
that's all.
I wanna talk to Turk for a minute.
Good boy, Turk, get it, Lou.
Get what?
Turk, what are they talking about?
Hey, ma'am, ma'am,
we're just playing
a little game, it's called bakery.
We've come to pick up the bread.
I got it.
Let's move.
You said we're gonna
keep her out of this.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Rick, Rick!
Let her go,
lets head for the lake!
Rick, the cashbox,
they've got the money.
Are you all right.
I'm okay.
- What's up?
- They got the cashbox,
let's get 'em.
Where'd they go?
What do you care?
I care, where are they?
Hey, Turk, what happened,
what happened?
Come on let's go.
Hey wait!
Leave him!
Lou, this one!
Take care of him!
Come on, we'll take my boat.
Who asked you?
Look, we can grind
up private axes later,
right now your money
and your whole summers
headed out the sea, come on!
Mickey.
Oh man, muah!
Like I said before man,
this is gonna be a swingin' summer.
