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.

Everybody, 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!
