Breakin' (1984) - full transcript

Come on, Kelly, let's go.

Let's get the hot food

out to the customers.

Who the hell

eats hot dog food, anyway?

What the--you stupid moron!

What the hell is wrong with you?

Why don't you watch

what you're doing?

What do you need--

a red light and a green light?

Come on.

Get this stuff cleared up.

Jeez, how many times...

Vicky! l don't believe it!

What are you doing here?

How have you been?

God, you look great.

Look at you.

Thanks. You know, the one good

thing about dancing in Vegas...

is it does keep you in shape.

-lt's been a while.

-Yeah, it has been a long time.

But l see you haven't

lost any of your moves.

l'm keeping in shape.

l figure l still have

a few good months left in me.

l am pushing 20, you know.

Have you thought

about a second career?

Never. l'll die on my toes.

Dancing or...working here?

Look, all l know is

you're slaving away...

in this grease trap,

and you're not dancing.

You know, l still have

Franco's classes...

and they're so important to me.

Are you still with Franco?

Yeah. He's the best.

At dancing, maybe. You forget

who you're talking to.

l know the routine.

lt's the same thing

with all the girls.

l don't want to get

heavy-handed...

but you be careful of him.

-Kelly!

-l have to go.

Listen, there's a friend

of mine--James Wilcox.

He's an agent here in L.A.

Give him a call.

He might be able to help.

Kelly!

Down here.

That's it. Now!

Down here. Come on, Kelly.

Come on. You're leading them.

Now, reach back. You're late.

That's it. Come on.

That's it. Turn. Reach.

Use the whole body.

Come on. Move across now.

Cross the floor. Back. Come on.

Up. Now, that's it.

Up, down. Hit the floor.

Back...and down.

Reach. That's it.

Pull back. Come on.

Come on, now.

Reach across. And hup 3, hup 5,

hup down, hup 2...

hup back!

That's it. Thank you.

-l'm serious.

-Just get out of here.

Come on. You promised.

l know.

You're looking better.

You still got to learn

to relax, though.

-l'll work at it.

-Loosen up.

Let the music caress you

when you move.

Look, l got a couple of minutes.

You want to stay and work?

-l'm sorry. l've got to go.

-Kelly...

l'm a very good teacher.

lf there's anybody who knows

what you need, it's me.

Nothing but the best

for the best, huh, baby?

l know someone

who'd argue that point.

Did mommy forget

to pick you up again?

Cute, Kelly. Some people

love you for your body.

Me, it's your charming wit.

So what did Our Almightiness

want this time?

lt wasn't my charming wit,

Cupcakes.

Do you want to go for a bite?

No. actually,

l was supposed to meet...

some dear,

close friends of mine...

but it's way out in Venice...

and l'd hate to take you

out of your way.

l'll ride the bus.

Well, at least let me drop

you off at the bus stop.

Really, Kelly, l think

you'd love to meet these guys.

They're terrific.

l guarantee you they won't want

you for your body or your wit.

That's a relief.

But l'd definitely keep

an eye on your purse.

Nice, Cupcakes. Nice.

You promised me

you wouldn't call me that.

l can't help it.

You're just so cute.

Would you stop?

There they are over there.

l tell you, Kelly,

you're really gonna love this.

Hurry up. l don't want

you to miss anything.

-Should l wear my coat?

-No. You don't need it.

Come on.

Come on. Up here.

-Ozone!

-Hey, Adam!

Hey, man, Adam!

What's happenin'?

Nothing much, man.

This is Kelly.

Hi.

Come on. Let's do some of

the stuff we do in class.

-Oh, no. You kidding?

-Come on. lt'll be fun.

-Not here.

-Come on!

Five, six, seven, eight.

Come on.

Watch him.

-l can't do that.

-Try. OK. All right!

Come on, Kelly. Get down.

Show us what you got.

-All right, Miss Bennett!

-Good!

Go turn 'em out, man.

Kelly.

Get 'em!

Come on.

-Let's go.

-Let's get out of here.

-Let's go get something to eat.

-OK.

Ozone, wait up.

What's up, dude?

Who was that guy?

That was nothing.

Hey, wasn't she hot?

Oh, God. l feel so silly.

No, you were good.

Hey, wasn't she hot, Turbo?

You guys weren't

so bad yourselves.

Oh, allow me. Kelly...

the mean machine right there--

that's Turbo.

Hi. What kind of names

are Ozone and Turbo?

The kind of names

that only a few people...

are allowed to call us by.

-They're our street names.

-All the dancers have them.

Really? Well, then why

do you get so upset...

when l call you Cupcakes?

Cupcakes!

All right, enough already.

Well, l've got to run.

l've got a lot of things to do.

Thanks for the dance.

Sure. Anytime.

Maybe we'll see you again, huh?

-Maybe.

-And who knows?

With a little work,

you'll be poppin' and lockin'...

and breakin' in no time.

You owe me one, Miss Bennett.

l'll see you later.

Special K!

What?

Special K. Any good dancer

has a street name.

Man, l should have got

her number. Look at her.

What are we doing here?

We're gonna see Adam tonight.

Do you think l'm here

to see Adam?

What, are you falling

in love again?

No, man. l just like the way

she dances, all right?

Girls!

Don't you worry. l got

the finest dancers available.

ln fact, l suspect it's not even

going to be a contest.

No, l...

l think that l can guarantee you

that we're going to win.

Well, this is a surprise.

Hi, Ozone. Hi, Turbo.

The name's Tony.

OK, Tony. l had

a great time yesterday.

-Yeah?

-Yeah. lt was different.

Listen, l got

to get back to work.

You guys probably

ought to leave...

'cause if Franco comes

in here and sees you...

l'll get in a lot of trouble.

Hey, that dancing's fresh.

-lt's what?

-lt's bad!

Wait a minute, now.

Hey, Turbo!

Hey! What's up?

You want to waste your time,

do it someplace else...

but don't mess with mine.

-Who are you?

-The name's Tony.

Well, as long as

you're standing there...

you're wasting my time,

and my time ain't cheap...

so l suggest you clear out now.

lf you want to take my class...

your name goes

on a waiting list.

lf you want to talk to him,

you talk to me.

And who might you be?

Orlando--

choreographer...dancer.

So this bit

of amateur dancing...

that my class was

so privileged to witness...

was your conception.

Come on, man.

Let's get out of here.

Since we're all here...

why don't you show us

what you've got?

-You owe me $7.00, man.

-Yeah? What for?

For teaching you

how to dance, sucker.

Class dismissed.

Don't worry about it.

They ain't nothin'.

Do you know, if we put them

on the streets, we'd burn 'em.

l'm sorry about what happened.

l tried to get them to leave.

Why were they here?

l guess they came to see me.

-You know those guys?

-l just met them once.

Well, l'd keep it that way.

Forget it.

You want to hear the music for

the show l'm choreographing?

-You got it!

-Yeah.

All right! Congratulations.

That's great.

You know, l may seem

tough sometimes...

but there's always a reason.

You know that, don't you?

Yeah, l know.

You know, those street kids

haven't got what it takes.

They're very talented. You

really should see them dance.

lt takes more than talent.

You got to be tough.

Now, you...

You've got the talent.

Head up.

Caress me. More passion.

Take the floor. Dance.

Dance...across the floor.

That's it. Now, jump.

Come on, fly.

Feel it! Up.

That's it. Now you got it.

All right, over here.

More emotion. To the mirror.

Feel it. All right,

now turn around.

That's it.

What are you doing?!

Franco, stop!

-Kelly, l just...

-Just get away from me!

Go to hell!

Goddamn it!

l'd like to thank you

for this award.

lt's the recognition

of my peers...

that makes all those agonizing

days of teaching Ozone...

everything l know that--

l don't want to stay here

all night. Do you?

Award winners don't push brooms.

Oh, yeah? Why don't you

go out and sweep, man?

Who do you think you are,

anyway--Fred Astaire?

Who?

Just go on and sweep,

knucklehead.

Hey, Turbo, did you

finish sweeping up?

-Yeah.

-You sure?

Yeah. You want to come

see for yourself?

All right, man.

Man, look at this stuff.

Look at that cup

right there, man.

Uh-oh. We've got company.

You guys are dirt, man.

We'll put you under.

Yeah. You're looking

at the piranha.

We're gonna eat you and...

spit out the pieces

we don't like.

Oh, yeah? Show me, man.

Come on, sucker, right now.

You want some?

Then come and get it.

Why don't you punks just split?

l think l hear

your mama calling you.

You don't like what you see?

Yeah, we're the dudes

gonna put you under.

Yeah. You're looking

at death, man.

You'll have to put a bag over

that face to hide the shame.

Anytime, man!

Friday night.

Be there...

unless you're chicken.

Hey, face, who are

you callin' chicken?

l won't blame you

if you don't show up...

'cause it's gonna be

real messy.

Oh, yeah...

and bring your girlfriend

the dancer...

'cause you're gonna need

a shoulder to cry on.

Come on.

Let's show those heifers.

Man, those dudes are whacked.

They don't deserve

the right to go against us.

But you heard them.

They called us chicken.

Well, those dudes will just

have to wait their turn...

now, won't they?

What about Friday?

We're not gonna back down.

Yeah, well, if those dudes

come Friday...

and they cross that line,

we're gonna cut 'em.

We're wasting our time, man,

on a bunch of nobodies.

You heard them.

They think they're so bad.

They're punks.

We don't got nothin' to prove.

Look, they put us down.

We can't go back on that.

Why not?

Man, everybody will bag

on us if we back down.

What are you worried about?

You're the best, right?

All right. Let's turn

these fools out, man.

Come on! Let's hit it.

Hi, Kelly.

Hi. Hope you didn't

come here to eat.

Oh, no way. l respect my body.

l've missed you in class lately.

Been busy. Has me working

double shifts now.

Franco's been acting a little

weird the last few days.

So what's so unusual about that?

-Well?

-Well, what?

Well, did anything

happen between you two?

No! l'm just ready for a change.

l feel my life getting stale.

Stale? Like that hamburger

if the customer doesn't get it.

Hey, Earring.

You gonna order something?

Yeah. l guess l'll have

the...Health Department.

My father just happens

to work for them.

This is the kind of place

that would make his mouth drool.

lf you want anything,

it's on the house.

Thanks.

God damn. The earring prince

here thinks he...

-Adam! l do have some good news.

-And what's that?

l'm going to see an agent

about some work.

Kelly, that's great!

Maybe some of these years of

training will start to pay off.

Well, Kelly,

these pictures are very good.

You're very photogenic.

You want to get serious

about your dancing?

-Have you danced professionally?

-Well, once.

Did you ever see the ''Dancing

Doggie'' dog food commercial?

Let's just say you have

no professional experience.

l think we should pursue...

the dance possibilities

here in town.

Allow me to set up

a few auditions.

You can make the rounds,

get your feet wet.

-What do you think?

-Sounds great to me.

OK, so l'll set up a few

appointments this week.

We'll see you later, OK?

Thank you, Miss Bennett.

You were excellent.

Unfortunately, the part

calls for a tall blonde.

Thank you. You were excellent.

Unfortunately,

we're looking for--

A short brunette.

This isn't worth it.

Blonde, brunette--

if they're looking for hair...

why don't they look at gorillas?

Don't let it get to you, Kelly.

There will be more auditions.

Not for this girl.

l just don't know if this is

what l really want to do.

You know what you need?

You need to live a little.

Relax.

l need longer legs, shorter

legs, punk hair, no hair...

l just need a whole new life.

Well, if you need a whole new

life, l know just the place.

-Where's that?

-The Radiotron.

lt's a place where street

dancers go to show their stuff.

Turbo and Ozone are

meeting me there tonight.

Ozone would love to see you.

After what happened

at Franco's class...

l'm the last person

he wants to see.

Now, that's not true.

-He asks about you all the time.

-Sure.

Hey! l could have used that.

Kelly, it was only

the first day.

There's nothing to be

discouraged about.

ln fact, there are plenty

of auditions coming up.

As a matter of fact, there's

something big developing...

in the dance community

right now...

and l'm trying to get the facts.

Sounds great.

Kelly, are you OK? l mean,

you sound really down to me.

No, l'm all right.

Well, are you eating? Let me

treat you to dinner tonight.

l already have plans.

l promised some friends

l'd go watch them dance.

Well, if you need

anything at all...

you just give me a call, OK?

l mean, that's what

l'm here for.

Thanks, James.

l really appreciate your help.

lt was my pleasure.

Have a good night, OK?

OK. Bye-bye.

Man!

You guys want us?

Then come and get us.

We wore them punks out!

We showed 'em.

We burned them dudes.

You're whacked, man. Fool!

What's the matter with you, man?

You know, there was something...

about the Radiotron

that was really different.

l mean, the people there

were real.

lt was alive, you know?

lt had an energy

that felt really good.

l was really surprised.

See? l told you

that's what you needed.

You were right...just this time.

Man, shut that thing off.

-What?

-Turn it off.

What's bugging you?

They beat us, man.

Don't you understand?

They just caught us off guard.

-So where am l going?

-Right over here.

What's she doing here?

Hey, man, help me

clean up this mess.

What's the big deal?

lt's only a girl.

Just do it.

Fine!

Hi!

We just thought we'd come by

to see how you guys were doing.

That's cool. We're just

working on some new moves.

You guys were really

great last night.

They were just watching

the girl, not the dancing.

lt was just a cheap shot.

l'd burn any girl that put

her face in front of me.

-She was good.

-l'm better.

Boy, do l have an idea!

We'll put together our own act.

What a team--the 3 of you,

and me as manager.

She ain't no street dancer.

She knows nothin'

about what we do.

She can learn.

Yeah? How?

You can teach me.

We're asking for trouble.

Man, now l know

we're in trouble.

Hey, let's go celebrate.

Lunch is on me.

No, l'll treat.

No, l want to treat.

No, l'll treat, OK?

All right. There you go.

Thank you.

l'd like to make a toast.

To the best.

To our friendship.

Are you a dancer?

Yeah. l'm one of

those guys that--

Dancer, my ass.

You look more like freaks to me.

Looks like their mama

never taught them how to dress.

Hey, don't listen to him.

Come on.

Yeah. Now, that's what

l call dancin' music.

Hey, why don't you come

over here and dance with us?

Yeah. Here's a quarter.

Oh, yeah?

You laughin' at me?

-Shut up, you little runt.

-Yo, man! What's up?

Are you lookin' for a fight?

l'm right behind you.

What about the check?

This is fun!

Let's go wreck another place.

Well, l can't say it was dull.

Well, l'll walk you

to your door.

Who is this from?

Hold onto it a minute.

-How sweet of him!

-Him?

Your boyfriend?

No, my agent--James.

He can do a lot for us,

you know?

Well, l was thinking...

that maybe...

See you tomorrow, OK?

Sure.

-Good night.

-Good night, Kelly.

-Street dancing?!

-James, you don't understand.

Kelly, l'm aware of what it is.

lt's just that l'm working

on getting you...

into one of the biggest

dance competitions...

which can lead

to incredible exposure...

and you're telling me

you want to be a street dancer.

Would you just let me

explain to you--

Kelly, you're wasting your time.

You've got to think

about your future.

We're building a career.

You can't make a living

dancing in the street.

l never thought you would

be so narrow-minded.

Kelly, l'm not.

lt's just that

you've got to be serious.

Street dancing belongs

on the street.

lt won't get you to Broadway.

Well, we won't know that

until we give it a shot.

Kelly, l hate

to tell you this...

Why not?

You know why everybody's afraid?

lt's because

they don't understand it.

lt's not just kids dancing

on a street corner for a nickel.

They put more heart

and soul into their work...

than any dancer l know.

James, it's real. lt's fresh.

All l'm saying is--

James, just get us

into the contest...

and l guarantee you we'll win.

All right, now, let me

get this straight. Humor me.

You want me to put

you and your...

street-dancing friends

on the same stage...

as trained,

professional dancers?

Well, come see

for yourself, then.

We're going against

Electro Rock tonight.

Electro...what?

Electro Rock.

We got a score to settle.

This time,

we're gonna cut 'em bad.

You're...really talking

like a street person.

-You packing a blade?

-Yeah.

OK. l'll go.

Where the hell is she?

Don't worry about it, man.

She'll be here.

Hey, punk.

Hey, are you back

for more, fool?

Yeah, and wearing

rags like that...

l hope you'll be able

to back it up.

Yeah, and you know it.

Kelly, l...

Maybe you're

a little overdressed.

Don't worry about it. Come on.

James, l'd like you

to meet my friends.

-This is Adam.

-Hello, Adam.

-Hi.

-And Turbo.

Turbo.

-And this is Ozone.

-Hi, Ozone.

James came to watch us dance.

l don't dance for

anybody but myself.

Oh, yeah, punk?

Yeah, l know

what you're thinkin'.

You feel lucky?

Now.

Be cool, all right?

You bad? You want some of this?

You know, you do what you want,

man, but don't touch me.

You must be feeling

lucky tonight.

Now.

Don't worry about it. Just go

over there and watch us dance.

Kelly...

Go, girl! Go! Do it!

Why don't you go

keep James company?

All right. Go work 'em, Kelly!

Right on.

Oh, wow! What is this?

That's the girl from the beach.

That's good.

Kelly!

Man, you were great.

l couldn't believe it.

Unbelievable. You guys,

l want to tell you...

Amazing. Just fantastic.

Turbo.

Yeah, you got to teach me

that sometime.

Ozone, the way you dance is...

it's incredible.

Thanks, man.

lt was great meeting you all.

All right? Thank you.

Kelly...you were...

you were right.

lt was just phenomenal.

-Well, l'm glad you liked it.

-l did.

Hey, listen, if you want

to spend time with them...

then l totally understand.

No, it's OK.

l just need to talk to them.

All right.

Hey, let's go celebrate.

Listen, l would really love to,

but l really got to go.

-You're not gonna stay with us?

-Well, l came with James, so...

We did really great tonight,

you guys! That was fun!

See you tomorrow.

-Yeah?

-lt's me.

The door is open.

How you doing?

l'm all right.

We sure tore the place up

last night, didn't we?

We did OK.

James thinks we really

have something.

He says that we have one of

the hottest acts around.

-Oh, did he, now?

-Yeah. That's why l dropped by.

He told me about

this big dance contest...

and there's gonna be judges

from all over the country there.

lt's really big!

Are you kidding?

Those dudes don't want...

to have nothin'

to do with our kind.

What do you mean? We're good.

That's all that counts.

Oh, yeah?

Well, you know what l think?

l think we'll be

wasting our time.

Those dudes don't want

to give us the chance.

Actually, he's working

on it right now.

He's got some really

great connections...

and he can get us the chance.

He's really a nice guy,

and he's trying to help us out.

l've never needed anybody,

and l don't need them now.

lf those dudes want to see us

dance, have them come down here.

Or maybe they're afraid

of getting raped or mugged.

l really don't understand you.

l mean, this could be

a really big break for us.

Who knows what it could lead to?

l don't care!

l have everything

l want right here.

But if that's what you want,

Kelly, then you do it.

Nobody's stopping you.

Yeah, but...

Well, James has invited

everybody over.

He's gonna have

this little party...

and you guys are

supposed to be there.

Well, here's his address.

You guys are welcome

to come if you want to.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

Hello, Max. Good to see you.

Thanks for coming.

And then you brought...

Susan, right?

Nice to see you.

Will you excuse me?

Hello. How are you?

Kelly! You made it.

-Hi, James.

-Hello.

-You look fantastic.

-Thank you.

This is really nice.

Where's Ozone and Turbo?

Are they coming?

They had some

other commitments...

but they're going

to try and make it later.

Good. Good, because l've got so

many people l want you to meet.

l've been talking you up

like crazy here.

So come this way.

-You got to meet these people.

-OK. Great.

-Sofie!

-James.

Hi. This is the dancer

l was telling you about.

Kelly Bennett,

this is Sofie Cunningham...

a very gifted choreographer.

-Happy to meet you, Kelly.

-Nice meeting you.

Kelly is a client

and a very close friend.

Look at these fancy cars.

You sure we're invited?

Oh, there they are.

l'm really glad you came.

You're here! Great.

Welcome. The place is yours.

Enjoy yourself.

And there are some

very important people...

l want you to meet.

Come on. l'll take you there.

Come on.

-What's this?

-Fromage de tete du porc.

-Who?

-Hog's head cheese.

Sick, man! Sick!

Are you an entertainer?

Ah, yes. l'm one of

those guys that...

He's one of those young men

that spins around on his head.

Would you like

some of this pig cheese?

No, thank you.

Excuse us, Sofie.

There's someone else

l want you to meet.

Could be our major

competition in the contest.

-Excuse us.

-See you later.

l'd like to see you dance

professionally sometime.

l'm sure.

-Steven, how are you?

-Fine.

Good to see you.

Kelly.

You two know each other?

We've met.

Yeah. She used to take my class.

Well, this is

a pleasant surprise.

Ozone, this is Franco. Ozone.

Now, wait.

-Did he take your class, too?

-No.

l don't teach amateurs.

Well, these amateurs

will be competing with you.

-On the same stage with me?

-That's right.

James, l thought

you were a smart man.

Now, don't jump to conclusions.

l've seen them dance.

Yeah, in the ghetto, maybe.

But in the real dance world...

against a disciplined

art form...

they're going to make

fools of themselves.

You callin' me a fool, man?

Look around you.

lt's pretty obvious, isn't it?

-Hey, come on.

-Get him off!

l told you he belonged

on the streets!

What is the matter with you?

Happy now?

Come on, man. Let's go.

What do you mean, go?

That lady and l were working

on a 3-picture deal.

Come on, man!

-Remember...

-Lunch!

-Excuse me!

-Ozone, wait. Stop.

Please don't go.

Franco--he's just sick.

Well, l think you have

everything you want...

right here, baby.

Let's go.

Ozone!

lt's all her fault.

Told you she'd be trouble.

You had no right

to talk to him that way.

Just telling it like it is.

Face it, Kelly.

They're a different class

of people. They don't fit.

You know, Franco,

you're a really poor excuse...

for a human being.

You say they're

in a different class?

Well, you're right. They are.

They're in a class

all by themselves.

They're the best

at what they do...

and not you or anybody

is gonna take that away.

You know it's really sad?

With me, you had a chance.

But now l can see you ain't

gonna amount to nothin'.

And what makes you so special?

Well, unfortunately, Kelly...

you missed your chance

to find that out.

Thank god.

Yeah. Well...

l think you better leave.

l didn't have any intentions

of hanging around.

All right. We're gonna lock.

Now, when we lock,

roll our wrists...point. OK?

Go.

Now, we're gonna roll

our wrists, point, lock...

kick out, jump up...

Baby Legs, come on.

Do the wave. Let's see it.

All right!

Break, hot tot.

He's sharp.

Soda Pop.

Footwork.

Let's see you spin.

There it is.

Come on, Ram.

You guys are doing good--

real good.

She has a fast spin.

Pose.

Hi, Turbo.

You better be careful.

They might beat you someday.

l hope they do.

ls Ozone inside?

No.

Do you know where he is?

l haven't seen him

for a couple days.

Well...you better not

let him catch you.

where could he be?

Venice, maybe. l don't know.

-Kelly.

-Yeah, Turbo?

Can't you see what's going on?

Hi.

-What do you want?

-l want to talk to you.

l don't think we have

anything to talk about.

-What's wrong?

-l don't want to talk about it.

lf it's what happened at

James' party, Franco's a moron.

l know how you feel.

You don't know how l feel.

You don't know nothin' about me.

And your friends are

all phonies, man.

They're just like you--

up there in your tights,

being told what to do.

We don't care if we don't

step on our right foot.

We do what feels good.

And we don't do it

in the classrooms, either.

We do it on the streets.

So you're just gonna

throw the whole contest...

out the window, huh?

You're not even gonna

give yourself a chance?

We don't need it like you do.

They'll put us on the stage

and laugh at us...

because we don't

fit into your world...

because we don't have

the right credentials.

You know what your problem is?

Your problem is you.

You're a quitter!

You think you know it all,

Miss Perfect.

Well, you don't know

how l feel...

or why l do what l do.

Would you just stop

holding back?

l mean, you're always

putting up fronts.

''Nothing bothers Ozone.

''Everybody always

looks up to Ozone.

He knows everything.''

God forbid he has

no doubts or fears.

What are you afraid of?

Well, maybe l don't know

everything...

like your boyfriend James.

Would you get off it?

James is not my boyfriend.

He's my agent, and he's

just trying to help us.

James is just a friend.

l mean, he really

believes in us.

That's why he got us

the studio to rehearse in.

Come on. l want

to show you something.

l want you to see what

real dancing's all about.

Look at him.

You see his face?

That's dancing, Kelly.

Well, this is it.

What do you think?

lt's wonderful.

Thanks.

God, it's so nice to be

in a real studio again.

l'm really glad you like it.

You know l'd do

anything for you.

For us, you mean.

Well, yes, of course.

For everybody.

Am l missing something?

Yes. Music. Let's get to work.

You guys can't let me down now.

l'm going to call all

my friends in the business...

and get you in that audition.

And you better be good.

Believe me, Kelly, l've called

every S.O.B. in the business...

and it's always the same answer.

''Forget it, James.''

This audition is for the biggest

dance production in years...

and there's no way

they'll even consider you guys.

lt just seems that Franco has

a lot more pull than l thought.

But we can't give up now. We

can't let Franco off that easy.

l don't know what else l can do.

Ozone and Turbo will go nuts

if they find out.

We can't tell them about this.

Kelly, we have to be

reasonable about this.

l don't want to be reasonable.

l've been reasonable

all my life...

and it's gotten me nowhere.

l am finally happy

and l have some real friends.

l'm not going to let them down.

Those phony, narrow-minded

stuffed shirts...

won't consider it dance

because it's not traditional.

What do they want?

l'll tell you what

they don't want.

They don't want kids

in T-shirts that are torn...

and bandanas

and spiked bracelets.

Unless...

What?

No. Ozone will never go for it.

He's got too much pride.

Kelly, it's the only way

it will work.

Yes, this is my group--

the Allegro Vivace Dance Trio.

Good luck.

Gracie. Avanti.

All right. This is it.

We're on after the next group.

You guys ready?

As ready as we're

ever going to be.

Well done.

What the hell

are you doing here?

You surprised to see the fools?

We're here.

-We seem to have a problem here.

-l'll take care of it.

l'm the manager of this group.

What seems to be the problem?

l'm very much afraid they won't

be able to dance for us.

And why not?

Because l don't

think they'll fit in...

to our particular production.

What? How can you say that?

You haven't even

seen them perform.

Look, l'm sorry,

but we're looking...

for some very good

jazz dancers...

and it's been made

very clear to me...

that those people don't fit in

to that particular category.

Look, they're here.

Just let them dance.

Look, l'm sorry. l'm going

to have to ask you to leave.

Well, it's your loss.

l don't know what to do

with these people.

l'm sorry. lt's not going to

work out. This is Franco's show.

They're not going

to stop us now.

Who's next?

Ozone.

Street dancer!

Look, l'm not going

to stand for this!

You must stop immediately!

Now, listen here, young man.

Did you hear me?

You must leave now!

Look, l'm not going to stand

for this. You must stop.

Stop right this minute!

We are auditioning

jazz dancers only.

Stop this nonsense! Jim!

Oh...God. There's more of them.

Jim!

Jim, get them out of here

this instant.

Wait.

Maybe...

-All right, stop this nonsense.

-Go away.

Look, l'll pull my dancers out

if this doesn't stop...

and l mean it.

Let's talk about it later.

l can't see.

All right.

All right, that's it.

We had a deal, Mary. Remember?

You asked for it. l am out!

Man, that girl can fly.

You've got the talent.

She ain't no street dancer.

-You're lookin' at death, man.

-Come on, sucker, right now.

-She was good.

-l'm better.

Who do you think you are,

anyway--Fred Astaire?

Who?
