Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo (1984) - full transcript

[Cassette rewinding]

[I believe in the beat

playing]

[Audience applauding]

Boy, I'm sure glad

this show is closing.

Me, too.

You have another gig

lined up after this?

No, but I know I don't want

to do another chorus line.

Well, Kelly, now that you've

left your life in the theater,

maybe you'd reconsider

my offer of

four years at Princeton.

I haven't quit, dad.

I'm just taking a break.

I've told you

a million times,

dance is my life.

I don't understand.

With your intelligence

and the opportunities

that I could provide...

What about

your young friend,

that lawyer?

What's his name? Derek?

He wanted to marry you.

Why did you break up with him?

Derek is a nerd.

And you're the one

that liked him, not me.

At least she's not spending

time with those street people

anymore, darling.

Look, I come home

to relax with you guys,

not argue.

But we are relaxing, dear.

Mr. Bennett:

I'm not arguing

with you, Kelly.

I'm telling you.

I don't like the life

you're leading.

It's my life, dad.

[Sighs]

[Chattering]

We don't clean up

for any of the other girls

like this.

This place is a mess.

It needs cleaning anyway.

You just now

realized that?

The mere sound of

Kelly's voice on the phone

drives the funk

from your

dingy socks away.

You should have more respect

for our dance partner.

Girl:

Hey, look who's here!

Girls: Kelly!

[Honking]

Hey, Kelly!

Turbo! Ozone!

Hey, turbo,

it's good to see you.

Good to see you.

Look at that rod.Hi.

I really missed you.

That's a sharp car.

Looks like show business

is treating you good.

Actually,

I'm pretty burned out.

Yeah, I've been

hustling for pennies.

Doesn't it seem

like dancing is just

the same old tune?

Yeah, I know.

All those auditions

and cattle calls.

"We'll call you next week."

Kid:

Hey, look who's here!

It's Kelly!

Special k!

Hey, special k,

look what ozone

taught us!

Boy: All right!

Kelly's back!

So you're

teaching class?

Yeah, I'm teaching

class now.

[Exclaims]

Miracles?

Yeah, it's our

community center.

Turbo and I help out

here sometimes.

Really, and this is

where you teach?Yeah.

All right.

Magician, show us around.

Kelly: Whoa.

Are these guys professionals?

They're really good.

Ozone:

No, they're kids.

They're from

the neighborhood.

The ghetto.

I'm telling you,

this place is fresh.

This is great!

This place is great

for the kids, Kelly.

Look.

Man, you have mirrors.

This is great.

Wait till you meet Byron.

Where is he?

What's happening, champ?

How are you?All right.

Good to see you.

Hey, hot stuff!

What's going on?

How they doing anyway?

They're doing all right.

Not deadly

but they're determined.

What's this?

Who's the new talent?

This is Kelly.

She's our dance partner.

Kelly, this is Byron,

the dude that

runs this place.

Good to meet you.Hey.

It's a pleasure.

You must be the one who

danced with these two turkeys.

Yeah. It looks like

you're doing a great job

with these kids here.

We try.

If you have any spare time,

drop around.

We can always use help

around here.

All right.

I'll talk to you later.

Got to get back to work now.

Come on,

I want you to meet my kids.Okay.

These kids got

a lot of talent.

Michael! Get off!

Look at those girls.

They get off!

Come on, you guys,

I want you to meet Kelly.

How're you doing?

Michael, why don't you

get out here and

show us what you got?

That's fresh!

Try it like this.

Hey, come on.

Let's turn the music up!

Got to get somebody down here

with a couple of flatbeds.

I don't know.

How long will it be before

we can start this project?

Not long.

It'll come down soon.

Should pass through channels

in about three weeks.

Randall, I want

this building.

This is the perfect site.

So how did you

wind up here,

anyway?

When Byron found it,

it was a dump, Kelly.

Yeah?

We all got together

and fixed it up.

It looks fantastic.

You guys did a great job.

Yeah, well.

The kids really mean

a lot to you?

It's like a second home

to all of us.

This place is great.

I love being here.

You're between jobs,

aren't you?

Yeah.

You could teach.

You think

it'd be okay?

You heard what Byron said,

didn't you?

[Imitating Byron]

"We need all the help

we can get."

I tell you,

I would love

working here.

Well, all right!

Mr. Douglas:

I want to build

that shopping center.

I want to build it on the site

that we talked about.

The property values

in that area are

just going to take off.

And that building

that the kids are in,

that has got to go.

I'm working on it,

but you know

commissioner snyder is soft

on these so-called

"community projects."

Randall, I want

zoning's cooperation.

[Din daa daaplaying]

Randall:

I'm counting on you

to get it for me.

Wait a minute,

isn't this

a city building?

Yes, the city loaned it

to some kind of local group

for a community center.

They call it something...

"Miracles," that's it.

Miracles.

What an inspiring name.

What do they do here?

It's just designed

to keep kids off the street.

They have classes

in art and dancing,

that kind of thing.

These ventures

come and go.

The key thing though is

that our current

engineering reports show

that that building is

structurally unsound.

It would be

more cost effective

at this point to

tear the building down,

and offer the property

for sale.

And I don't think

it would be bad

if we took this area

and put in

a shopping center here.

Mrs. Snyder:

But where will

all those kids go?

They've got

their club, radiotron.

Well, Mr. Randall,

you might be right.Good.

Why don't you get back

to your social club and

go play with the babies?

Come on, you guys,

let's turn

these fools out!

Did you bring your mama along

to wipe your nose?

Be cool!

Look it,

we're not gonna waste

any of our moves.

And we're sure not

gonna dance

for you punks!

ozone, look at this

jive letter they sent me

this morning from city hall.

What's this baloney?

It says our building is

going to be condemned

unless somebody comes up

with $200,000 to fix it.

And I don't think the city

is gonna come up

with that kind of bread.

Let's raise the money.

$200,000?

It's a whole lot of

nickels and dimes.

We gotta try, champ.

Byron: Ms. Snyder,

we received this letter

saying that you people

plan to tear

our building down.

Yes, Mr. Smith.

I know about that letter.

What can we do

to save miracles?

Listen, kids,

I really am

on your side.

But the best that I'm

able to do is get you

a 30-day grace period

so that you can

raise some money

to renovate that building.

We appreciate

your 30-day grace period,

but do you really think

that's long enough to

raise that kind of money?

[Mrs. Snyder chuckles]

I don't know.

But I do know

this is your

only chance.

At least we

have a chance.

Here's $100.

$7,000.

Not looking

too good, is it?

Come on, you guys,

it's a start.

But we don't have

too much time

before the end.

$7,000 is not going to impress

the zoning committee at all.

Why don't we just

put on a show?

Like those big ones

with the dancing

and juggling.

We could have it

in the streets.

Like a street festival.

I'll dance!

I could choreograph.

I'll run rehearsals.

And of course,

I could be the star.

So they called you

about me?

Yes, they're

considering you

for the lead.

It opens in Paris.

In Paris?

You're kidding.

Stanley!

That's great!

Relax.

You still have

to audition.

I'll call you when

they set a date,

if I can find you.

You've been

hard to reach lately.

I've been teaching

at this community center.

It's very noble,

but don't let it interfere

with your career.

I have had a lot of time

on my hands lately.

Don't worry,

that'll all change.

Okay, I'm going to

hold you to that.

Nice to be working

with you again, ozone.

Yeah, it is.

Here, help me

carry this.

Sure.

Okay. Back it up.

Hi! Sorry I'm late.

Hi, Kelly.

Guess what?

Stanley got me

an audition.

I might be the lead

in a show

that's going to Paris.

Isn't that great?

Yeah.

But what about this show?

You guys got a lot done.

You gonna

stick with us

or what?

Electro rock!

Ozone:

Hey, let's take

these suckers!

Later, sucker.

I'll get that guy!

[All clamoring]

Ozone.

You been

off the street

too long, blood.

You got lazy.

You lost your edge.

You're the loser, punk.

Try me.

[Surveyors muttering]

Hey, kid,

get out of the way,

all right?

What are you doing?

What kind of camera

is that?

Look, you'll have to

get out of here, Sonny,

we've got some work to do.

Doing a movie?

Can I be in it?

No, we're

surveying the land.

Mr. Douglas here

is going to build

a nice new supermarket.

You mean here? At miracles?Surveyor: That's right.

You get back to work,

and you, kid,

you get out of here.

Look, let's pack up.

We've got enough for now

to go on.

Over there!

Hey, hold on, buddy,

what's going on here?

What are you fellows

doing here

with that equipment?

Well, we're making

a preliminary survey of

potential construction sites.

The name is Douglas.

Whoever you are, you got

no business coming around here

with that equipment.

We haven't had a hearing yet.

And you don't own

this property yet.

I'm very aware of the fact

that the city owns it.

Are you, perhaps,

a city official?

No, we're

the legal tenants here.

That's a situation

I don't think

will last very long.

Yeah, well,

look here, hot shot,

you can forget

your plans, man,

'cause we're going to

stop you.

We're going to

stop you cold.

I doubt if an arrogant

bunch of street kids

have the power to...

You don't how much power

we really have, do you?

We'll go to the press,

and we'll fight this thing

all the way.

Well, it's your time.

Waste it if you want to.

Is that man going to

take away miracles?

No, we're not

gonna let him.

Yo, turbo. Hey, man,

you know, we should work on

some new moves, man.

Somethin' fresher

than fresh, man.

Somethin' funkier than funky.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, man,

let's put on...

Let's put on some

Ollie and Jerry.

Yeah, that'd be cool.

[Knocking]

Rhonda: Hi, ozone.

Ozone, I'd like to

talk to you.

What do you want to

talk about?

Hi.

Bye.

Are you going

with that Kelly now?

Oh, girl,

what difference

does that make?

It makes

a difference to me.

It shouldn't.

Look,

that thing between us, baby,

was over a long time ago.

Well, I still

love you, ozone.

Look, Rhonda,

I'm sorry.

Forget it!

I don't need

your sympathy, ozone!

What do you want?

You know what I want?

I want you to stay away

from that girl!

[Hisses]

Girls are whacked.

[Cheering]

[Speaking Spanish]

Come on.

Hey, man,

what did she say?

She thinks you're sexy.

She wants to dance with you.

Go on,

man, I think

she likes you.

Yo, ozone,

you think I look

like a stud?

Did you say something?

You think I got

sex appeal, dude?

Gimme a break.

You're acting weird.

Dude, I need

some advice.

What advice?

I wanna know

how to start off

with a girl, dude.

Yeah?

You mean, you're askin' me

how to get it on with a girl?

Well, something like that.

All right.

If that's the case,

I'll show you a few tricks

of the old master.

There's two phases

to this.

There's phase number one.

You got to get

the girl interested.

Then there's phase number two,

the old tactical maneuver.

First,

you've got to get the girl

to come to you.

After that,

you've got to play it cool.

You walk by like this.

Real close.

Then you look at her.

Only, she doesn't

know you're looking.

Now you try it.

Go ahead.

Okay,

suppose she knows I'm there.

What do I do next?

Tell her I love her?

No, if you

tell her that...

She doesn't even

know you yet.

Can I kiss her?No.

Do that, and she'll

punch your lights out.

Then what do I do?

You do like I do.

You just stand there

and you smile.

Smile? Like this?

No, matter of fact,

don't smile at all.

Well then,

can I kiss her now?

No, you whisper

in her ear.

Whisper what?

You know, softly, like,

"hey, baby, you look fine.

"I like you.

Hey, check this out."

Butter up to her. Try it.

Here, try it.

Go ahead.

You have the nicest

teeth.

No, man, she's not a horse.

Tell her about her eyes.

Your eyes are so

Move over.

Let's start from scratch.

Let me show you how you do it.

Here we go.

Everybody. Thank you.

Thank you all very much.

Every one of you

did a fine job.

I'll contact your agents

about the part next week.

Thank you very much.

Now I know this director.

Your chances with him

are excellent.

Man, I wish I

could know right now.

I don't know what

I'm going to

tell ozone, though.

All you used to talk

about was your work,

now all I hear

is ozone, ozone.

Are you in love

with the guy?

Come on, Stanley.

I just like the way

he dances.

What's this

Stanley tells me about

our daughter dancing in Paris?

Darling, she doesn't

have the job yet.

I also understand

that she's been back

in the streets with that

bozo or turbine

or whatever the hell

their names are.

She isn't in the streets,

she's volunteering.

It's charity work.

She's helping all those

poor, little,

underprivileged children.

Yeah,

I'm going to do something

about this nonsense.

I don't know

what you can do.

Kelly's old enough to

make her own decisions.

I'm going to find a way.

Call her up.

Yes, dear.

Get her over here

for dinner.

Yes, dear.

I want to talk

to that girl.

Yes, dear.

[Glass shattering]

You know,

maybe my father

could help.

I'm invited over

for dinner tomorrow night.

Why don't you guys come over?

That's a whacked idea.

Why?

He's an intelligent man.

He can help us out

or give us good advice.

I don't beg

from rich people.

I work for

what I get.

I thought you'd do

anything for those kids.

Well, it's not that.

I don't want to

use you, Kelly.

That's okay.

Yeah?yeah.

Wow, this is

some layout.

When you said money,

I wasn't expecting all this.

Come on, ozone,

they're just people.

Rich people.

Very rich people.

They're also my family.

So are we.

I know. Come on.

[Doorbell ringing]

Hi, Rosa.

I'd like you to

meet my friends.

This is ozone

and turbo.

[Greeting in Spanish]

Hi, mom.

Hello, dear.

Good to see you.

Kelly:

How you been doing?

So you must be

turbo and ozone.

You certainly

have original names.

Unique flair

for fashion,

which apparently is

rubbing off

on my daughter.

Thank you.

[Doorbell rings]

That must be dad.

Thank you.Kelly: Derek?

Hello, Evelyn.

You look lovely

as always.

I'm so happy

you could accept

our invitation.

Thank you very much.

Hello, Kelly.

Hi.

Boys, this is Derek Sloane,

Kelly's fiance.

Hi.what's up?

Hello.

Kelly: Mother.

What's he doing here?

You know I can't stand him.

Mrs. Bennett:

Don't blame me,

I didn't know.

Well, your father thought

it would be a good idea.

Sharp outfit.

We know.

Hi, dad.Hi, honey.

I want you to

meet my friends.

Ah.

Good to see you.

How are you?Very good.

How's your law practice

coming along?

Very well.

Fortunately, in Hollywood,

everybody sues everybody.

Shall we dine?

Bon appetit.

So, what do you think?

Mr. Bennett: Good?

See, Mrs. B,

everyone loves

your cooking.

Mrs. Bennett:

They should.

After all, you spent a fortune

sending me to cordon bleu.

Mr. Bennett:

It was well worth it.

Mrs. Bennett:

But I do enjoy it.

Kelly: It's pretty good.

Mrs. Bennett:

This is the first time

I've tried this dish,

but I'm really rather pleased.

Derek: Wonderful.

Mrs. Bennett:

Yes, it is good.

Mr. Bennett: You know,

I think I'm going to have just

a little bit more, if I may.

[Laughing]

Mr. Bennett:

Well, boys, how are things

going down at your club?

Kelly tells me

you've been doing

wonderful things

for these poor,

little deprived

children.

Actually,

miracles is having

some trouble, dad.

Those people can't

stay out of trouble,

no matter what.

You're looking at

one of "those people."

Derek didn't mean

to be rude.

Did you, Derek?

Derek always means

to be rude.

Well, what kind of

trouble are you in?

We're not in trouble,

our building is.

They want to tear it down

and build a stupid

shopping center there.

But they're giving us

a chance

to save the building.

Oh, I see.

You're here for money.

I know what you

people do with money.

You mismanage it.

You spend it on drugs

and fancy clothes and cars.

Dad!

I don't see any point

in throwing good money

after bad.

Come on, turbo.

Look, we don't need your help.

We can take care of our own.

And thanks for the dinner,

Mrs. Bennett.

Turbo:

Yes, we loved

your cooking.

Could we have a roll?

Arrogant riffraff.

Kelly:

Sorry about the other night.

I should have known better.

My parents live in

a world all their own.

That's okay.

I kinda liked your cat.

Ozone was

really mad, though.

He was mad,

but he wasn't mad at you.

It was just...

Don't worry about it.

He'll cool off.

Kelly, listen to

this situation.

I've got this friend.

He likes this girl.

Does she like him?

Yeah.

Then what's the problem?

Well, it's just that

he gets so confused

because he's such a cool dude,

and he's never had

these feelings before.

This must be a good friend

of yours, turbo.

Yeah.

Don't worry about it so much.

I've seen her looking at you.

It's just that,

I don't know

what to say or do.

Just say yes.

"Yes"?yes.

Yes!

Yo! Strobe!

Get away from me, man.

I ain't got

nothin' to say to you.

Look, man, I want to

call a truce, all right?

We want you with us.

Look,

if they tear down miracles,

that's our neighborhood.

Don't you see, man?

They'll redevelop

us out of existence.

We need your juice, strobe.

We need to be united, man.

Ozone, don't lay

the jive on me, man.

I don't need it.

Ozone, guess what?

They offered me the part.

I can go to Paris

if I want to.

Are you going or not?

I don't know.

I have to decide tonight.

It's what you want.

Take it.

It used to be what I wanted.

I don't even know anymore.

Hey, look, baby,

I can't decide for you.

I thought you

wanted me to stay and

help with the show.

It's your life and

your career, isn't it?

Why don't you ask

your fiance Derek?

Maybe he can help you decide,

because I can't hang,

baby, you dig?

What's the matter, honey?

Did ozone break

your little heart?

He's not your type, girl.

I really don't

want to talk about it

right now, okay?

I suggest you

stay away from him.

Just leave me alone.

You don't belong with ozone.

You don't belong

in this neighborhood.

Honey,

you just keep showing your

pretty little face around here

and it's not

going to stay pretty

much longer.

Stanley, hi,

this is Kelly.

I've decided to

take the job.

Yeah, when do

we leave?

Yeah, I'll be ready.

Why don't you call me

when you get all the details?

Kelly, you are so lucky

to be going to Paris.

Do you know when

your father and I

honeymooned there,

it was so romantic?

All those

wonderful little cafes.

I loved it.

It was so beautiful.

We had such fun.

Your father looked so handsome

in his white linen suit.

Darling.

You'll forget all about this

once you get to Paris,

really you will.

Let's go, okay, mom?

Commissioner snyder,

since no one has come forward

with funds in

the amount required

to save this building,

our office feels it would be

to the city's advantage

[chattering]

To tear it down

and put the property

up for sale.

This would not only

upgrade the entire area,

but make it

commercially viable.

Viable for who?

[Striking gavel]

The chair, at this time,

does not recognize

comments from the floor.

And the floor

recognizes this panel's

trying to push us out

of our neighborhood.

I object to this

outrageous interruption!

Mr. Randall, this is

a public meeting.

Right.

And the public says

that miracles is more than

just a piece of property.

[Crowd shouting encouragement]

It's people.

Miracles is

the lifeline of our kids.

Now, we know what

kids can do with pistols,

knives and needles.

Miracles makes them

feel good about themselves.

Gives them something

to look forward to.

Gives them

a sense of achievement.

And it's not by

stepping on people.

It's by working hard

and working together.

[Cheering]

Those are certainly

admirable goals, sir,

and the city

greatly appreciates

your efforts.

But the fact is that

the building

that houses miracles

has been considered unsafe.

[All exclaiming]

Woman: It's not unsafe.

And, unfortunately,

you just haven't come forward

with enough funds to save it.

But we're working on a show.

We'll make lots of money.

Commissioner,

it's clear that

it's beyond these

people's resources

to provide

the necessary improvements

for this building.

In light of the fact

that the city has already

received a healthy bid

from Mr. Douglas,

[crowd booing]

The planning office

recommends to

the zoning board

that we approve

the development plan

for this proposed

shopping center.

You're crazy.Crazy?

Order!

Order here!

I'm afraid that

the zoning committee

has no choice

but to accept

the development bid

on the property

currently occupied

by miracles.

What?

Kid: You're crazy.

You guys are whacked, man.

Whacked?

Who...

And the building

will have to be vacated

within the next two weeks.

Wait a minute.

This hearing is adjourned.

Yo, Douglas.

You haven't won yet.

You may have the city dancing

to your music,

but you don't have us.

Get out of my way.

Hey, man,

we're going to stop you,

commission or no commission.

Listen,

if you cause me

more trouble,

I'll finish you,

your friends, and your

whole damned neighborhood.

Listen, sucker!

What are we

going to do now?

Well, if there's one thing

I'm sure we're going to do,

it's not give up, right?

All: Yeah!

That's right.

Bobby, set that

on the corner post.

Hey, man.

Take my picture!Get out of here, okay?

What seems to

be the problem?

Come on,

kid, beat it,

will you?

Yo, man, what's up?

I got your lunch!

Hey, right now.

Come on.

[Taunting]

I got your lunch.

[Whistling]

[Groans]

See? I'm ready.

[Knocking]

Who's that?

Can you get it?

Ozone.

Kelly,

turbo's been hurt

real bad.

Where is he?

What's happened?

He's in the hospital.

Come on.

Kelly, you can't

miss this plane.

You're expected

in Paris tomorrow.

Paris is going

to have to wait.

They won't wait.

They'll hire someone else.

Well, let them

hire someone else,

or get me another

ticket or something.

Yes?

Turbo, why don't you

wake up, you suck-off?

Yeah, man.

Come on, wake up.

What're you doing

in there?

I don't know.

What's she

doing in there?

Maybe she lives

in there.

[Speaking Spanish]

He's talking!

He's okay!

I don't believe it.

Hey, man, don't leave now.

Hey, man, wake up.

Man, I am hungry.

Get me some food!

He's hungry!

Turbo's hungry.

Come on, he's okay!

[Screaming]

What happened?

[Knocking]

Dad?

I find this

hard to believe,

but Stanley tells me

that you backed out

of that Paris deal

in order to run off

with that

street dancer.

Well, may I come in?

Sure.

Oh, boy.

I've got

an offer for you, Kelly.

I'll bail out miracles,

pay the cost of renovation

on the condition

that you stay out

of that neighborhood,

and go to Princeton.

I really do want

to help miracles.

Maybe I should do it.

A very sensible decision.

No, you won't.

I can't let you do that.

That's not

what you want.

That's not

what you are.

Why don't you just

stay out of this?

I told you, we can

take care of ourselves.

We don't need your money.

But we do need you.

You really mean that.

Mr. Bennett: Wise up.

Your pride can't

afford to turn down

an offer like this.

And what do you

know about pride?

Pride's more important

to our kids than your money

will ever be.

Nobody is going to tell me

when to lay down my pride.

Let me tell you something.

That theater,

or whatever it is, of yours,

that's just

another public project

that takes good money

and throws it

down the toilet.

Why are you always

so negative

about everything?

Everything that I

have ever wanted to do,

you have always

been against it.

Dad, I'm staying.

You're making

a big mistake, Kelly.

I've got to

get out of here.

I've got to

get back to miracles

and help with the show.

[Speaking Spanish]

I can't be laying

up in this traction.

You don't understand.

You

must help me

get out of here.

It's very important for me

to get out of here.

I can't lie in bed...

Look.

This belongs on stage,

not in no hospital.

[Shushing]

Come on.

Are you new here?

You have to take linens down

in the service elevator.

Me no english.

When are they

going to hire some help

that speaks the language?

[Imitating Woody woodpecker]

Guess who?

Hey, you guys ready

for the show?

Tear this show up,

right on.

Girl:

What's she doing here?

I thought I told you

to stay away from here.

I didn't take

your advice.

I can see that.

Kelly, I'm only

going to tell you this

one more time. Leave.

You're not going to

tell me what to do

or where to go.

I liked it

a lot better here

with you gone,

and I want it

to stay that way.

You think you're

so tough, don't you?

Well, you don't

have your bodyguards.

You know, I turned down

a good job in Paris

to stay here

and not you or anybody

is going to tell me

when to leave.

I'm staying!

[Motor revving]

What are we

going to do, ozone?

I know what

we're going to do.

Turn on the music.

[Music playing]

Get out of here!

Move away!

Get off that machine!

What's going on here?

Look at this.

Never mind that.

I said to get

this thing moving.

Now get it moving!

Okay, you're right.

Mr. Douglas:

Damn right, I'm right.

Hey!

Hey, what's going on?

Hey, that's turbo.

Come on now, move it!

Get out of the way.

Get out of here,

man, what's up?

[Cheering]

Get away from there, kid.

You going to run me over

with the bulldozer?

You going to try

break down the building?

You'll have to

get past me, sucker.

Man, I said stop!

Why did you stop?The kid...

I don't care about the kid.

Knock that stage down now!

No way.What do you mean,

"no way"?

You paid for a job,

not to kill kids.

Who're you working for?

You wait here.

I'll get that kid

out of the way.

I'm staying

right here, man.

Let's go,

let's get out of here.

[Cheering]

Where are you going?

Bring that machine back here!

You'll not work again for me!

Bring that machine back!

Okay.

We'll be right here,

we'll get the background,

okay?

Good afternoon.

This is Howard Howard,

channel 3 news.

Today, the little guys

are going to take on

the big guys.

Right behind me here

you see a bunch of spunky kids

who are getting ready

to fight city hall

in their own way.

Why?

Because they don't want

this community center

torn down for

a shopping center.

There's a gentleman here

I'd like to bring in.

This is Mr. Ken Randall,

from the city planning office.

Howard Howard, channel 3 news.

I've got a quick question

for you.

Will the city let these kids

lose their community center?

No, the city is

here for the people.

And there's

obviously been some kind

of a snafu here.

These things happen,

even in the best of cities.

But I can assure you

that we will do everything

to straighten this out

for the benefit

of those deserving

youngsters.

And that's good news.

The gentleman coming here

is Mr. Douglas,

Douglas construction.

Mr. Douglas is

head of the firm

that wants to

tear down this site.

Howard, may I take Randall?

It's important.

I need some information.

Certainly.

What did you say

to that guy?

I said it was a snafu.

What do you mean, "snafu"?

The mayor doesn't

need bad publicity

in an election year.

Are you telling me

that you and the city are

going to pull out of this?

Yes.

Mr. Douglas.

Question, sir.

What action do you

plan to take

against these kids

blocking your project?

Oh, well.

We're not going to

take any action.

We of the

Douglas construction

company feel

we won't

disrupt the community,

we will withdraw

from the project.

[All cheering]

This is

a new and dramatic

development, here.

I would like to

get a little reaction

and comment from

Mr. Byron Smith.

Well, you just

heard Mr. Douglas

change his mind on

the whole affair.

And I'm sure that

Mr. Douglas will make

a nice, sizeable contribution

to help us pay

our loan just fine.

That right, Mr. Douglas?

A contribution, yes.

It was suggested

that $3,000...

[Clears throat]

That was suggested

by Mr. Randall.

But we, of course,

of the Douglas corporation,

feel that $6,000

[clearing throat]

Really isn't enough

for this project.

Therefore...

In fact, we're

going to make a donation

of $10,000!

[Cheering]

Howard: As you can see,

there's a lot of

excitement here today.

Finally the little guys

are coming out on top

and I think that victory

deserves a lot of

applause from all of us.

Ozone, quick question!

Howard Howard, channel 3 news.

You really danced your way

to victory today.

Well, it's not over yet.

We need a miracle

to save miracles.

We're $150,000 short.

Why don't you

tell them about it?

We're having a show today,

right here,

to raise money

to save miracles.

There will be dancing,

juggling,

the whole works.

So come down,

enjoy yourself and

celebrate with us.

I'd like to see you there.

[Music playing]

My god, it's Kelly!

I do wish she'd do

something about that hair.

[Cheering]

How about it for

the miracles dancers?

Put your hands

together for them

one more time.

Now we'd like to bring,

for your appreciation,

put your hands

together and welcome,

if you will, Mr. Ice t

and hot tot!

Yeah, party people

in the place to be!

First thing I

want you to do is

clap your hands.

ladies and gentlemen,

as we check out

the scoreboard,

we have $70,000,

and we need $200,000.

So please,

reach into your pockets.

Right now, welcome,

if you will, little Lee!

These kids have put together

such a show here today

and single-handedly

have raised

over $150,000,

which is some feat.

But it's not enough.

They have more to go.

They have to raise

at least $200,000.

Are they going to make it?

We're going to support them.

You've got to hand it

to those kids.

They really fight for

what they believe in.

Darling, that's what

we always taught Kelly

to do.

Didn't we?

You know, Mrs. B,

I think you're right.

Let's go.

Right now,

once again, here they are,

the fabulous miracles dancers.

Dad, what are you

doing here?

I thought you...

I've been thinking.

I guess we all

have to live our lives

the best way we possibly can.

You kids have done

a great job here today.

I'm proud of you, Kelly.

All of you.

Even without Princeton?

Yeah, even

without Princeton.

Thank you, dad!

All right!

[Exclaiming]

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm holding in my hand,

thanks to the generosity of

Mr. and Mrs. Bennett,

a check for $50,000!

We made it!

We saved miracles!

Thank you!

We made it,

we made $200,000!
