Voila! Finally, the Can't Stop The Music
script is here for all you quotes spouting fans of the Village People music. This script is a transcript that was painstakingly
transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of Can't Stop The Music. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and I'll be eternally
tweaking it, so if you have any corrections, feel free to
drop me a line. You won't
hurt my feelings. Honest.

SAM. LOOK AT 'EM.

OH, A LOT. THEY'RE
IN VARIOUS STAGES
OF COMPLETION,
BUT IT WOULDN'T TAKE LONG.
HOW LONG ?
I-I DON'T KNOW.
MAKE ME A REALLY
GOOD DEMO TAPE AND WE'LL
TAKE IT TO A RECORD COMPANY.
SAM, THERE'S MORE
TO IT THAN THAT.
LIKE WHAT ?
LIKE--
LIKE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
LOOK, NOBODY HAS TIME
FOR ANYBODY, AND NOBODY
GIVES NEW PEOPLE A BREAK.
THIS MAY COME
AS A SURPRISE TO YOU,
BUT WHILE YOU WERE
FLUNKING OUT OF COLLEGE,
I WAS DATING AND ROMANCING
SOME OF THE REAL BIGGIES
OF THE RECORD INDUSTRY.
MAMA HAS CONNECTIONS.
ALL RIGHT !
[ Humming ]
[ Phone Rings ]
SAM, WILL YOU
GET THAT, PLEASE ?
HELLO.
SAM, UH, I'M SORRY
TO BOTHER YOU,
BUT I AM MAKING THIS CALL
UNDER EXTREME DURESS.
I LAUGH, I CRY,
I GO ON WELFARE.
I AM AN UNMARRIED,
UNEMPLOYED WOMAN.
LULU, WHAT'S THE MATTER ?
SYDNE THREATENED
TO GIVE ME THE SACK
UNLESS I MADE THIS CALL.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT ?
ME WHO HAS GIVEN THAT SACK
THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE ?
LULU, SHUT UP
AND GIVE ME THAT PHONE !
AAH ! AAH ! STOP ME !
- HOW FAT ARE YOU ?
- ENORMOUS. I'VE BLOWN UP
LIKE THEHINDENBURG.
THIS IS SYDNE CHANNING,
WHO ONLY HELPED MAKE YOU
THE BIGGEST MODEL OF THE ' s.
COME CLEAN.
SYDNE, DARLING,
THE ' s ARE DEAD AND GONE.
THE ' s ARE GOING TO BE
SOMETHING WONDERFULLY NEW
AND DIFFERENT, AND SO AM I.
FREE, HAPPY AND CONTENT.
CONTENTED. BUT THAT'S
PERFECT FOR THE AD CAMPAIGN FOR
THE AMERICAN DAIRY ASSOCIATION.
COWS ?
MILK, DEAREST.
IT COMES FROM COWS.
SYDNE, DON'T GET UPSET.
I'VE TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO YOU.
I HAVE RETIRED,
ONCE AND FOR ALL.
THIS IS GOING TO BE
THE BIGGEST CAMPAIGN
FOR THE ENTIRE FALL.
MUCHO LUCRATIVO.
MONEY, HONEY.
SYDNE, IT WAS REALLY SWEET
OF YOU TO ASK ME,
BUT HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE
TO TELL YOU NO, NO, NO ?
YOU ARE PASSING UP
THE CHANCE OF A LIFETIME !
- MAY I PLEASE SPEAK TO LULU ?
- THERE'S REALLY NO ACCOUNTING
FOR TASTE.
HERE. SHE WANTS
TO TALK TO YOU.
YEAH ?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
WHY DON'T I CALL YOU,
OKAY ? BYE.
WHAT DID SHE SAY ?
TELL ME EVERYTHING.
UH, SHE JUST INVITED ME OVER
TO SEE HER NEW APARTMENT.
- BUT I DON'T KNOW
IF I CAN MAKE IT.
- OH, YES, YOU CAN.
SHE'S DONE
A VERY CLEVER THING.
SHE'S RETIRED.
SHE'S THE GARBO OF MODELS,
AND EVERYONE IS CLAMORING
FOR HER,
AND I'M GOING TO DELIVER HER
IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO.
TO THE DAIRY ASSOCIATION ?
WE ARE GOING
TO MAKE MILK MORE
GLAMOROUS THAN CHAMPAGNE.
MAKE A NOTE. ONE:
I'M GOING TO SUGGEST
THEY REDESIGN THE BOTTLE.
TWO: I'M GOING
TO INSIST THEY CORK IT.
THREE:
MISS SAMANTHA SIMPSON

WHAT DO YOU THINK ?
SWEET.
SWEET ?
YEAH.
SWEET ?
JOHANN STRAUSS WRITES SWEET.
SWEET IS FOR WALTZES.
I CAN'T HEAR THE MUSIC
FOR YOUR VOICE.
WHAT ABOUT THE LYRICS ?
JACK, DARLING,
THE SONG MAY BE WONDERFUL,
BUT YOUR VOICE SOUNDS
LIKE A CRY FOR HELP.
OH. OH, HO, HO, HO.
WELL, I'M SORRY I DON'T HAVE
A MILLION PEOPLE SITTING OUT
THERE SINGING IN THE COURTYARD.
MY MUSICAL EMPIRE
IS NOT FINISHED YET.
WELL, SHOULDN'T A DEMO
SOUND LIKE A REAL RECORD ?
YES, BUT DO YOU KNOW HOW
MUCH THAT'S GOING TO COST ?
WHY IS IT THAT YOU'RE
THE MOST EXPENSIVE PERSON
I'VE EVER BEEN INVOLVED WITH ?
AND WE'RE NOT EVEN LOVERS.
DO YOU KNOW ANY SINGERS ?
YEAH. WHAT ABOUT
THE SUPREMES ?
THEY'RE NOT WORKING.
SAM, TODAY NOBODY SINGS.
EVERYBODY DANCES.
THIS CALLS
FOR SOME VERY SERIOUS
PLOTTING AND SCHEMING.
YOU GO BACK TO WORK.
I NEED SOME ENERGY.
I'M GOING
FOR A BASKIN-ROBBINS RUSH.
AH, HAVE A GOOD TIME.
GET A DOUBLE-DIP ON ME.
[ Felipe ]
THANKS A LOT.
HEY, FELIPE.
HOW ARE YOU DOING ?
C, C-MINUS.
WHAT'S THE MATTER ?
I HAD TO LEAVE
MY FEATHERS TO BE OILED,
AND THEY GAVE ME
THIS ONE TO WEAR,
AND IT DOESN'T EVEN FIT RIGHT.
YOU THINK
YOU'VE GOT PROBLEMS ?
JACK NEEDS SOME VOICES
ON A TAPE TONIGHT,
AND I NEED SOME PROFESSIONAL
SINGERS WHO WILL WORK
FOR WHAT I CAN AFFORD TO PAY.
PROFESSIONAL
AND FOR FREE ?
THAT YOU AIN'T GONNA FIND.
AH, MY GREATEST FEAR.

CONNECTED TO THE HIPBONE
AND THE HIPBONE CONNECTED

LIKE A TERRARIUM.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING, LULU ?
I HAVE REACHED A POINT
IN MY LIFE...
WHERE I FIND PEOPLE
AND ANIMALS TOO DEMANDING.
ABOUT THE ONLY RELATIONSHIP
I COULD SUSTAIN
IS WITH A PLANT.
MM. HOW BIZARRE.
YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE ?
I'VE ALSO DISCOVERED THE JOYS
OF COOKING AND CLEANING.
HOUSEWORK IS LIKE BAD SEX.
EVERY TIME I DO IT,
I SWEAR I WILL
NEVER DO IT AGAIN, UNTIL
THE NEXT TIME COMPANY COMES.
TACKY.
OH, AND HOW IS
THE PLATINUM PRINCE CHARMING
OF THE RECORD WORLD ?
WOULD YOU BELIEVE
I HAD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT
WITH HIM TO BREAK UP ?
NO.
AND HE DIDN'T EVEN BAT
AN EYE. MM-MMM.
KEPT TALKING ON TWO PHONES,
LOOKING AT THEBILLBOARDCHARTS
AND TRYING TO SIGN ROD STEWART.
AND THEPOSTSAID
HE HAD A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN
WHEN YOU LEFT HIM.
HMM. YEAH.
JUST AN EXCUSE TO WRITE OFF
A VACATION IN THE BAHAMAS.
SAM, UH, MAY I ASK
WHAT YOU ARE DOING ?
DO YOU THINK I AM GOING
TO SERVE AND EXPENSIVE
CONTACT LENS TO THAT CROWD ?
NO.
NO.
LET'S GO CHECK
ON THE VIENNA BOYS CHOIR.
OH, SAM, I'LL TAKE
CARE OF THIS.
[ Humming ]
OH, GINNY, COULD YOU HELP ME
WITH THIS, PLEASE ?
THANK YOU.
OKAY, YOU GUYS,
KEEP SINGING.
RANDY, TRY SINGING LEAD.
DAVID, TAKE YOUR VOICE LOWER.

I AM REALLY NERVOUS.
I MEAN, WHAT IF THIS

[ Chuckles ]

AND I'LL HAVE SOME OF YOURS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, MINE ?
PLEASE !

SAM'S GOT AROUND HERE,
I'LL TAKE SOME
OF THE HOMEGROWN KIND.

RING TWICE ?
LULU, YOU'RE CRAZY.
OH, COME ON, JACKIE.
COME ON.
LULU !
TRUST ME.
[ Knocking ]
JUST A MINUTE !
[ Knocking Continues ]
JUST A MINUTE !
I'M RON WHITE.
YOUR SISTER SENT YOU A CAKE.
A LITTLE OLD LADY
JUST ROBBED ME !
WOULD YOU MIND RUNNING
THROUGH THAT AGAIN ?
A LITTLE OLD LADY
WITH A BIG GUN HELD ME UP.
NO KIDDING.
HOW DO YOU KNOW MY SISTER ?
I LIVED NEXT DOOR
TO HER IN ST. LOUIS.
SHE MUST HAVE BEEN
YEARS OLD.
OH, THAT'S NOT MY SISTER.
I MEAN, SHE'S OLDER
THAN I AM, BUT--
SHE GOT MY WALLET,
MY WATCH, MY CLASS RING.
SHE GOT MY PHI BETA KAPPA KEY.
WELL, I'M SURE GLAD
SHE DIDN'T GET THE CAKE.
I FORGOT TO ORDER DESSERT.
- CAN I USE THE PHONE ?
- HOW LONG HAVE YOU
BEEN IN NEW YORK ?
I JUST MOVED HERE.
I'M A TAX LAWYER.
YOU MUST STAY FOR DINNER.
I AM SO MAD AT THAT I.R.S.,
I'M GOING
TO FILE LATE NEXT YEAR.
I GOTTA CALL THE POLICE.
IT'S A RAID.
JUST KIDDING.
THIS IS
OFFICER RAY SIMPSON.
OFFICER SIMPSON ?
AM I GLAD TO SEE YOU.
I WAS LEAVING AN AUDITION
THIS AFTERNOON WHEN I HEARD
THIS GREAT VOICE.
IT WAS HIM, GIVING
A SINGING PARKING TICKET.
HE USED TO SING WITH
A GROUP OF POLICEMEN
CALLED THE COP OUTS.
CLEVER, HUH ?
I HOPE I'M NOT
BARGING IN.
NO. YOU'RE JUST IN TIME.
RON HERE JUST GOT ROLLED
BY AN OLD LADY.
ROBBED, NOT ROLLED.
WHY DON'T YOU ALL HELP
YOURSELF TO SOME VINO ?
I WANNA SHOW YOU
SOMETHING DIVINE.
OOH, I CAN HARDLY WAIT.
[ Samantha ]
RETAIL, BUT ON SALE.
ARE YOU REALLY A POLICEMAN ?
YOU DON'T KNOW BLACK IRISH
WHEN YOU SEE IT ?
WELL, I DID GET ROBBED,
BY AN OLD LADY.

THAT'S HER.

WHY HE'S DRESSED
LIKE AN INDIAN ?
MAYBE IT'S
HIS, UH, FANTASY.
[ Chuckles ]
UH, BEING A COWBOY
IS MY FANTASY,
BUT I DON'T GO AROUND
DRESSED LIKE ONE.
TOO BAD.
WE COULD USE
ANOTHER HAND ON
THIS SPREAD. OHH !
[ Woman ]
JACKIE !
BUBELEH !
MOTHER ! I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU WERE COMING TO TOWN.
SURE. I TOOK
A BUS FROM JERSEY
TO SEE A MATINEE.

WHEN I WAS A CHORINE.
OHH ! JACKIE,
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DAY...
WHEN SOMETHING YOU'VE WRITTEN
IS PRODUCED ON BROADWAY.
MOTHER, WOULD YOU
DO ME A FAVOR ?
SURE.
DON'T TELL EVERYONE HERE
THAT I'M A GENIUS.
I'M YOUR MOTHER.
I KNOW, BUT THESE

AND GENIUSES HAVE
A REAL HARD TIME
KEEPING FRIENDS, OKAY ?

A SEMI-LEGEND
IN HER OWN TIME.
SYDNE, THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
FOR ONCE,
WE ARE IN AGREEMENT.
[ Grunts ]
HELLO, BOYS.
SYDNE, YOU HAVE
ARRIVED HERE LIKE THE
WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST.

RECORDING A REAL,
LIVE BACKYARD ALBUM.

SOPHIE TUCKER
AT THE PALACE...
OR MINNIE PEARL
SELLING FRIEND CHICKEN.
DID YOU KNOW--
DO YOU REALIZE WHAT

KISMET.
THAT MEANS FATE.
MA--
OH, HONEYBUNS,
DON'T YOU REALIZE...
IT'S YOUR MUSIC THAT'S
BRINGING ALL OF THESE
TALENTED BOYS TOGETHER.
THEY OUGHT TO GET
DOWN ON THEIR KNEES--
MOM.
THEY'RE DOING THIS
AS A FAVOR.
A FAVOR ?
WHY, IT'S THE GREATEST
FAVOR THEY'VE EVER DONE

I DON'T UNDERSTAND...
WHY A GOOD-LOOKING GIRL
LIKE YOU IS DOWN HERE
IN THE VILLAGE...
WITH A BUNCH OF--
I DON'T KNOW WHAT !
DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING ?
I DON'T JUDGE PEOPLE.
I ACCEPT THEM.
THERE ISN'T A PERSON
WHO BREATHES WHO DOESN'T

OH. HI, SAM.
I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT
ON THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR
THE AIR-CONDITIONING GOES OUT.
WELL, HOW'D IT GO TODAY ?
- IT DIDN'T.
- DIDN'T WHAT ?
- IT DIDN'T GO.
I SAW A MUSIC PUBLISHER,
A COUPLE OF TALENT AGENTS
AND A RECORD COMPANY V.P.
- WHAT'D THEY SAY ?
- "WOULD I DISCUSS IT
OVER DINNER ?"
- IT'S THE SAME OLD
CASTING COUCH ROUTINE.
- SAM, THIS IS VERY DEPRESSING.
CRITICAL. I ATE
TWO SNOWBALLS, ONE DING DONG
AND A COUPLE OF TWINKIES.
MAKE YOU FEEL
ANY BETTER ?
IF YOU LIKE FEELING
LIKE THE PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY.
WHO'S THE MOST IMPORTANT
RECORD PERSON WE BOTH KNOW ?
STEVE WAITS. OH, NO.
I'M NOT SWALLOWING MY PRIDE
AND GOING BACK TO HIM.
SURE YOU CAN.
UH-UH.
ANYBODY WHO CAN SWALLOW
TWO SNOWBALLS
AND A DING DONG...
SHOULDN'T HAVE
ANY TROUBLE WITH PRIDE.
YOU'RE DOING HIM
A FAVOR, SAM.
I'M A VERY TALENTED
COMPOSER, RIGHT ?
RIGHT.
AND MARRAKECH RECORDS
IS THE BIGGEST
AND THE BEST.
SO WHY DON'T WE START
AT THE TOP ? IT'S BETTER
THAN WORKING OUR WAY UP.
WHAT DO YOU SAY ?
THAT'S MY KIND OF LOGIC.
HELP ME GET READY.
GREAT.
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT SHOULD I GIVE HIM ?
INNOCENT LITTLE GIRL
OR WOMAN OF THE WORLD ?
WELL, IF YOU ASKED ME,
I'D TAKE--
I KNOW WHAT YOU'D CHOOSE.
WHICH REMINDS ME.
HOW COME I HAVEN'T HEARD
THE PITTER-PATTER OF LITTLE
STEWARDESSES' PUMPS LATELY ?
HAVE YOU BEEN DECLARED
OFF-LIMITS ?
NO. THEY HAVE.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN ?
- I'VE GIVEN UP
MY LOVE LIFE COMPLETELY...
UNTIL AFTER I'VE GOTTEN
SOMETHING RECORDED.
- I MADE A SOLEMN VOW.
- JACK, THAT COULD TAKE--
SHH ! DON'T SAY IT.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
JUST PICK OUT YOUR DRESS
AND GO SELL YOUR ASS OFF.
WELL, THIS DEFINITELY CALLS
FOR TITS AND TEARS.
WELL, SURE I GOT TIME
FOR YOU. GO AHEAD.
[ Buzzing ]
WHAT ? NO, WE ARE
SHIPPING TRIPLE PLATINUM.
ABSOLUTELY NO RETURNS.
ANYBODY ELSE CALL ?
ROD STEWART.
GET ME HIS PRIVATE NUMBER.
CAN'T GET IT
FROM CELEBRITY SERVICE.
WOULD YOU FIND ME ROD STEWART ?
WHEN YOU DO, HAVE HIM CALL ME
BACK IMMEDIATELY. YES !
UH, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
UH-HUH. UH-HUH.
SAMANTHA. OUT. UH-HUH.
UH-HUH.
OH !
OOH. UH-HUH.
UH-HUH.
UH-- MM-HMM.
UH-HUH.
UH-HUH.
OH, YEAH.
UH-HUH.
MM-HMM.
DON'T I GET A KISS ?
FIFTY-THOUSAND DOLLARS ?
ARE YOU CRAZY ?
WHO DO YOU THINK I AM,
NEIL BOGART ? KEEP IN TOUCH.
CAN I GET YOU A DRINK ?
[ Buzzes ]
WHAT ? NO. WAIT, WAIT.
WOULD YOU JUST WAIT ?
NOW, HOW DID WE RELEASE
THE NEW SINGLE IN ATLANTA ?
YEAH. UH, TELL HIM
I'LL CALL HIM BACK.
NOW, UH, WHERE WERE WE ?
WELL, STEVE,
IF I COULD JUST--
[ Buzzes ]
ONE SECOND. YEAH ?
NO. TELL HIM I'LL SEE HIM
A LITTLE AFTER : .
WAIT A MINUTE.
SAMANTHA,
WHERE ARE YOU GOING ?
SAMANTHA, WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU'RE DOING IT AGAIN.
IT'S ALL COMING BACK TO ME.
LIVING WITH
THE TOUCH-TONE KID.
I CAN'T GET A WORD IN EDGEWISE.
YOU MEAN THE TELEPHONE ?
YEAH.
NO, THIS IS ME IN THE PAST.
THIS IS NOT ME NOW. NO.
NO, YOU'VE CHANGED.
YEAH. I'LL CALL YOU BACK.
YOU DON'T HAVE
A PHONE IN YOUR LIMO ?
NEXT TO THE JOHN ?
NEXT TO THE BED ?
IN THE SAUNA ?
NO.
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
OKAY, WAIT.
JUST ONE MINUTE.
ONE MINUTE.
WANNA SEE WHAT I THINK
OF TELEPHONES NOW ?
THAT'S WHAT I THINK
OF TELEPHONES NOW !
[ Phone Buzzes ]
HELLO. LOOK, WILL YOU
JUST HOLD ALL CALLS ?
I GOTTA GET OUT
OF THIS BUSINESS.
HAVE A SEAT, SWEETHEART.
YEAH.
WHAT I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU
IS THAT I'M DIFFERENT NOW.
AND-- WELL, THE FACT IS THAT,
UH, THE REASONS YOU LEFT ME
SIMPLY DON'T EXIST ANYMORE.
[ Phone Buzzes ]
I DON'T EVEN HAVE
TO ANSWER THAT.
PROVE IT.
[ Buzzing Continues ]
OH, GOD. I'VE REALLY
MISSED YOU, YOU KNOW THAT ?
I'VE-- I'VE NEVER
STOPPED LOVING YOU,
EVER, EVER, EVER.
[ Buzzing Continues ]
THAT BODY OF YOURS
IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU.
I'VE GOT TO HAVE YOU AGAIN.
I LOVE YOU.
- WAS THAT ROD STEWART ?
- STEVE, THIS IS NOT EXACTLY
WHAT I HAD IN MIND.
OH, SAM. DO YOU THINK
THERE'S ANYTHING LEFT
BETWEEN US ?
WELL, YEAH.
WHY DON'T WE, UM, MAKE
SOME BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TOGETHER ?
A CASSETTE ?
OH, NO. NOT YOU TOO.
OH, JEEZ.
EVERYBODY IS PUSHING
THEIR MUSIC THESE DAYS !
I KNOW WHAT IT IS.
YOU GOT A NEW BOYFRIEND WHO'S
LEARNING HOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR.
WRONG.
I HAVE A NEW LIFE,
NOT A NEW BOYFRIEND.
IT'S JACK'S MUSIC.
YOU REMEMBER JACK ?
YEAH. THAT KID THAT TOOK CARE
OF YOUR APARTMENT LAST SUMMER
A_D LET ALL THE PLANTS DIE ?
WELL, HE'S VERY TALENTED,
AND HE COMPOSED ALL OF THAT.
LISTEN TO ME, SAMANTHA.
MUSIC MAY BE THE OIL
OF SHOW BUSINESS, BUT YOU
DO NOT WANT TO GET INVOLVED.
- TRUST ME.
- TRUST ME.
YOU'VE GOT THE BIGGEST
GROUPS AROUND.
THEY'D GIVE THEIR EYETEETH
TO GET THEIR HANDS
ON THIS MUSIC.
[ Woman ]
YOUR TAX LAWYERS
ARE WAITING, MR. WAITS.
TAX LAWYERS. EVERYBODY'S
GOT THEIR HANDS OUT.
EX-PARTNERS,
STOCKHOLDERS, THE I.R.S.
[ Weeping ]
TAKING EVERYTHING I GOT.
I DO ALL THE WORK,
AND THEY TAKE ALL THE MONEY.
GREED ! GREED !
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT GREED.
MY GROUPS WRITE
AND RECORD THEIR OWN MUSIC...
BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANNA SHARE
THEIR ROYALTIES WITH ANYBODY.
THEY DON'T EVEN WANNA HEAR
ANYBODY ELSE'S STUFF.
SO HOW DOES A COMPOSER
GET STARTED ?
I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW.
TELL HIM HE'S GOTTA
HAVE A HOOK.
TELL JACK
TO GET HIMSELF A GROUP.
A GROUP ?
BUT WE ARE A GROUP.
THEY'RE RIGHT THERE
ON THE TAPE
AND THEY'RE FABULOUS.
OH, YEAH ?
WHAT ARE THEY CALLED ?
I'M NOT GONNA TELL YOU.
WHERE ARE
THEY PERFORMING ?
THEY'RE NOT.
SAM--
LOOK, I'VE GOT THEM
UNDER WRAPS.
THEY'RE A REVOLUTIONARY
NEW CONCEPT, AND I'M NOT
HAVING MY GROUP RIPPED OFF.
I THOUGHT
IT WAS JACK'S GROUP.
I'M THE MANAGER.
YOU'RE A MANAGER ?
YES, AND I'M NOT LEAVING
THIS OFFICE UNTIL I GET
A COMMITMENT FROM YOU...
FOR A DEMO SESSION.
THAT'S VERY EASY.
YOU GOT IT.
OH. OH ! REALLY ?
YEAH, YES.
YES. YES. YES.
THANK YOU.
I REALLY OWE YOU ONE
FOR THIS.
IF YOU REALLY MEAN THAT,
THEN HOW ABOUT
THE EAST HAMPTON LIKE
THE OLD TIMES THIS WEEKEND ?
OH, THAT'S REALLY
HARD FOR ME...
BECAUSE, UH, I HAVE
TO CONTROL MYSELF
BECAUSE OF MY VOW.
WHAT VOW ?
OH, WELL, I COMMITTED
MYSELF TO CHASTITY...
UNTIL THE GROUP
BECOMES A SUCCESS.
OH, CHASTITY.
YEAH, AND IT'S
REALLY HARD FOR ME.
YEAH.
BECAUSE I WANT
WHAT YOU WANT.
WHAT WE WANT.
WHAT THE WHOLE WORLD WANTS.
BECAUSE YOU'RE
THE ONE THAT I WANT.
NOBODY DOES IT BETTER.
SO KNOCK ON WOOD.
SOMEDAY I'LL FIND YOU
AND WE'LL BE TOGETHER
AGAIN FOR SOME...
HOT STUFF BECAUSE
I LOVE THE NIGHTLIFE...
AND, OOH, I WANNA
MAKE IT WITH YOU.
SO I'LL BE SEEING YOU
BECAUSE YOU LIGHT UP
MY LIFE.
OOH.
SHOO-BE-DO-BE-DO.
HI. UH--
_
UH, WHICH WAY'S
THE MEN'S ROOM ?
RIGHT OVER THERE.
THAT WAY.
RICHARD.
COME ON IN.
HI.
HELLO.
UM, HOLD IT !
HEY, WATCH IT.
YOU'RE REALLY LUCKY
I'M A NICE PERSON.
I COULD HAVE RAFFLED
THIS OFF IN THE ELEVATOR.
THANK YOU.
HEY, I MEAN IT.
I REALLY WANNA APOLOGIZE
FOR THE OTHER NIGHT.
I'M A GEMINI.
I GOT TWO PERSONALITIES.
THIS IS THE GOOD ONE.
COME ON.
LET'S BE FRIENDS.
THE ONLY MAN WHO EVER
SAID THAT TO ME
AND MEANT IT WAS JACK.
WELL, FRIENDLY.
CAN I TAKE YOU TO DINNER ?
DON'T YOU HAVE
TO GET BACK TO WORK ?
I'LL COOK UP SOME STORY
AND IT TO 'EM TOMORROW.
HMM.
THE DEVIOUS TYPE, HUH ?
WELL, ACTUALLY,
I'M VERY COOL, CALM
AND CONSCIENTIOUS.
IN FACT, EVERYTHING I DO
IS ON TIME, NEAT AND CORRECT.
I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME
I GOT AWAY WITH
A LITTLE SOMETHING.
THIS IS REALLY TERRIFIC,
BUT I HAVE TO GET HOME.
COME ON !
I'VE LOST HALF A DAY'S PAY.
RON, YOU'RE REALLY NICE,
BUT I HAVE A GROUP
TO PUT TOGETHER.
NEED ANY HELP ?
ALL I CAN GET.
ALL RIGHT !
[ Whistles ]
HEY, BUDDY !
DAMN.
IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY.
- [ Whistles ]
- [ Horn Honks ]
HEY ! WHOO !
[ Tires Screech ]
IT TAKES MORE THAN A PRETTY FACE
TO GET ANYWHERE IN THIS TOWN.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
JEEZ !
MA'AM ?
[ Humming ]
JACK ! JACK !
JACK ! JACK !
WE'RE A GROUP !
WE'VE GOT STUDIO TIME !
WHAT ?

REMEMBER THAT--
MAGIC NIGHT
RIGHT.
HEY, BUT-- BUT--
HOW'S THE INDIAN ?
FINE.
WOULD YOU GET
THE MUSTARD AND THE RELISH ?
I HAVE TO TAKE MY LENSES OUT.
THEY'RE KILLING ME.
WAIT, SAM ! YOU GOTTA TELL ME
LOGICALLY AND SIMPLY...
WHAT WENT ON
OVER THERE !
WE ARE A GROUP !
WE'RE A GROUP !
YEAH, BUT...
YOU JUST DON'T
PUT TOGETHER A GROUP
LIKE IT WAS A LAUNDRY LOAD.
"LAUNDRY LOAD."
HEY, THAT'S NOT A BAD NAME.
WHERE IS THAT DISTILLED WATER ?
I'VE GOTTA TAKE MY LENSES--
I'LL USE PERRIER.
DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT ?
I HAVEN'T QUITE
GOT THE WHOLE THING,
BUT IT SOUNDS PROMISING.
WAIT A MINUTE.
SAM, STOP WITH
ALL THIS BUSY WORK.
THIS IS ALL--
THIS IS MY LIFE HERE !
WAIT A MINUTE. TELL ME,
HOW DO YOU PUT TOGETHER
A GROUP THAT DOESN'T EXIST ?
[ Timer Buzzes ]
I GOT IT.
I JUST DID IT.
I USED MY BRAINS, NOT MY BODY.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT
AN ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT IS ?
DO YOU KNOW HOW GOOD
THAT MAKES ME FEEL ?
YEAH.
BUT IT STILL DOESN'T EXPLAIN
WHAT'S GOING ON !
WE, MY DARLING, ARE A GROUP.
YEAH.
WE'RE A GROUP.

THANKS A LOT !
OH, MY FLOOR !

HELP ME GET HIS PANTS OFF.
I'M BURNING !
IT'S ALL OVER
MY PARQUET FLOOR.
OKAY, FIRST OF ALL,

WHY ?
MY MUSIC NEEDS
A VERY BIG SOUND,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ?
OH, I GOT IT !
WE'LL PUT ADS INVARIETY,
BACKSTAGEANDBILLBOARD.
WE'LL HOLD AUDITIONS.
OH, BUT WHERE ?
WE CAN'T DO IT HERE...
BECAUSE WE MADE
SO MUCH NOISE
THE OTHER NIGHT...

COMPLAINED AND--
I CAN'T AFFORD
TO RENT A HALL.
WELL, YOU CAN USE MY OFFICE.
YOUR OFFICE

BLECH !

YOU GO WRITE THE AD.
SAM, I LEFT A NEW SONG
ON MY RECORDER.
GIVE IT A LISTEN IF YOU'VE
GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO.
I THINK I CAN DO
TWO THINGS AT ONCE.
[ Chuckling ]
THE PAD AND THE PENCIL
ARE ON THE DESK.
UM, SAM'S VERY DELICATE.
I'D LIKE FOR HER
NOT TO SEE YOUR KNEES.
[ Chuckling ]
CRAZY.
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME WINE ?
THAT'D BE NICE.
YOU LOOK QUITE COMFORTABLE.
I-I AM.
THIS CITY WAS
GETTING TO ME FOR A WHILE,
BUT I THINK
I'M GETTING USED TO IT.
I'VE BEEN LIVING HERE
AND WORKING HERE
SINCE I WAS
AND I WOULDN'T LIVE
ANYWHERE ELSE.
YOU KNOW,
I NEVER DATED A GIRL
WITH A MALE ROOMMATE.
WELL, THIS IS THE ' s,
DARLING.
YOU'RE GONNA SEE
A LOT OF THINGS YOU'VE
NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

NOW, DON'T GET ALL EXCITED
AND THANK ME.
WE MAY NOT BE LOVERS ANYMORE,

- MA, IT'S ONLY A COMMERCIAL.
- AW, NOW, HONEY,
DID GERSHWIN EVER WRITE
A HIT COMMERCIAL, HUH ?
WELL,
HOW'D YOU LIKE IT ?
I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE GOING
TO SHOW SO MUCH OF YOURSELF
ON TELEVISION.
OH, SAM, THAT IS THE MOST
GLAMOROUS AND SEXY
COMMERCIAL I HAVE EVER SEEN.
AW, LULU.
LULU, WILL YOU
TAKE THIS AWAY ?
I DO NOT DO MANUAL LABOR.
DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING ?
YOU ARE SO UPTIGHT...
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW
A GREAT CAREER MOVE
WHEN YOU SEE ONE.
IF THAT DOESN'T SELL MILK,
NOTHING WILL.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, SAMANTHA,
I'M HAVING A BIT OF A PROBLEM
WITH THE ADVERTISING AGENCY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ?
DESPITE THE FACT
THAT I THINK
IT'S FABULOUS,
THE CLIENT
NEEDS MORE TIME
TO THINK IT OVER.
THINK WHAT OVER ?
THE HIGHER ECHELON
OF MADISON AVENUE...
FEELS THAT IT MAY BE
TOO CONTROVERSIAL...
FOR THE AMERICAN
FAMILY IMAGE.
CORPORATE THINKING SUCKS.
MOTHER !
I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY CHIC
AND TASTEFUL.
TWO QUALITIES OFTEN
IGNORED BY TELEVISION.
WELL, THIS MEANS
NO RESIDUALS FOR A WHILE.
RESIDUALS ? DOES THAT
HAVE SOMETHING TO DO
WITH MONEY ?
HMM.
UH, YEAH,
WE NEED IT NOW.
WELL, YOU COULDN'T POSSIBLY
BE OVERDRAWN AT THE BANK.
[ Laughing ]
COULD YOU, DEAR ?
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
WE WERE GOING TO USE
THE RESIDUAL PAYMENTS
FROM THE COMMERCIAL...
TO PUT ON A PAY PARTY
TO INTRODUCE
THE VILLAGE PEOPLE.
[ Sydne ]
PAY TO GO TO A PARTY ?
HOW GAUCHE !
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY.
MY BRIDGE CLUB
WILL THROW THE PARTY.
WE'LL USE THE ELKS LODGE.
WHY, IT'LL BE BIGGER
THAN BINGO NIGHT.
MOM, THAT'S WONDERFUL,
BUT, SEE, WE WERE THINKING
OF SOMETHING SPECTACULAR.
UH-OH. YOU NEED
THE BIG BUCKS, HUH ?
YEAH.
WELL, MY GOODNESS,
A PARTY IS A PARTY.
IT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.
NORMA, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
SOMETHING FOR AROUND
PEOPLE...
WITH LIGHTS
AND COSTUMES.
I MEAN,
A REAL SHOW.
WELL, I DID ONE FOR
LAST MONTH IN--
WHERE WAS IT ?
HOUSTON.
YOU GAVE A PARTY
FOR PEOPLE ?
MM-HMM.
A CHARITY FUND-RAISER.
IT'S ONE OF MY HOBBIES.
BUT, OF COURSE, WE DO
RAISE A LOT OF MONEY
FOR THE NEEDY.
MRS. WHITE, WOULD YOU
CONSIDER US NEEDY ?
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I AM IN CHARGE OF
A REALLY GRAND AFFAIR...
NEXT MONTH IN SAN FRANCISCO
AT THE GALLERIA.
NOW, WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE
FOR THE BOYS TO SING
A FEW SONGS ?
A-- A FEW SONGS ? HEY !
WE WILL KNOCK 'EM OUT !
I THINK I SHOULD GET
STEVE WAITS IN ON THIS.
LET'S HAVE
SOME CHAMPAGNE !
LULU,
PACK MY FALL WARDROBE.
I ADORE SAN FRANCISCO.
MY FAVORITE
EX-HUSBAND LIVES THERE.
AND I AM DOWN
TO MY LAST PUCCI.
_
HAVE I GOT
A WHOLESALER FOR YOU !
STEVE ? HELLO, DARLING.
IT'S SAMANTHA.
I, UH, THINK I HAVE
AN OFFER YOU CAN'T REFUSE.
HOW ABOUT A LONG WEEKEND
IN SAN FRANCISCO ?
UH-HUH. WELL,
I'LL SEE YOU AT YOUR PLACE
IN ABOUT MINUTES.
I'LL GIVE YOU
ALL THE DETAILS.
[ Laughs ]
BYE.
I JUST SEALED OUR FUTURE.
AND ENDED OURS.
GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER.
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK.
STEP INTO MY OFFICE.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT
YOU CALLED STEVE WAITS...
AND MADE AN ASSIGNATION
RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME !
WHAT'S THAT ?
A DATE !
WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO ?
I WOULDN'T DO SOMETHING
LIKE THAT BEHIND YOUR BACK.
WHAT WERE YOU TRYING TO DO,
SEDUCE HIM INTO A DEAL ?
IS THAT ACTUALLY
WHAT YOU THINK OF ME ?
I DON'T KNOW. I--
OH, REALLY ?
WELL, UM, IF THAT'S THE CASE,
I SUGGEST WE SEE EACH OTHER
ONLY ON A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
FROM NOW ON.
AND I'LL SEE YOU
IN SAN FRANCISCO, MR. WHITE.
ALL RIGHT, SO MAKE IT QUICK
BECAUSE SAMANTHA'S
GONNA BE HERE ANY MINUTE.
HOW DID WE DO
IN CHICAGO ?
OKAY, THAT'S GOOD.
UH-HUH. UH-HUH.
MM-HMM. UH-HUH.
OKAY, GOOD-BYE.
CHARLIE, THE MINUTE
SHE GETS ON BOARD,
SLAM THE DOOR AND
TAKE OFF, ALL RIGHT ?
[ Tires Screeching ]
NEVER MIND.
[ Car Door Closes ]
IS THAT YOU, SAM ?
HI, MR. WAITS. I'M SORRY.
SAM COULDN'T MAKE IT.
IT'S A LONG STORY.
OH, MY GOD.
A REAL PRIVATE JET !
SOMEDAY YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE ONE OF THESE, BABY.
A LITTLE BIGGER, I HOPE.
AND I'LL TAKE CARE
OF THE DECOR MYSELF.
NOT SO BUSY.
AND WHO'S THIS ?
OH, UH, MR. WAITS,
THIS IS MY MOTHER.
HELEN MORELL. AND YOU CAN
JUST THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS
THAT YOU KNOW MY SON.
[ Engine Revving ]
WILD BLUE YONDER !
HERE WE GO !
GEE, THESE LOOK GOOD.
DON'T TOUCH THAT, JACKIE.
IT'LL GIVE YOU THE TROTS.
WHEW ! CAN'T WE GET RID
OF THAT SMELLY THING ?
I GOT ALL
YOUR FAVORITES HERE, BABY.
I GOT CHICKEN SOUP
WITH MATZO BALLS.
I GOT KREPLACH.
I GOT STUFFED CABBAGE.
SHE'S NOT EVEN JEWISH.
WELL, WHEN IT COMES TO EATING,
ALL MOTHERS ARE JEWISH.
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE !
I AM BEING HIJACKED
IN MY OWN AIRPLANE !
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ?
I AM THE PRESIDENT OF
A MAJOR RECORD COMPANY.
IS IT REALLY KREPLACH
IN THERE ?
I GOT EVERYTHING.
YOU SEE, SIR,
_Y FATHER IS JEWISH,
BUT MY MOM,
SHE'S ITALIAN-CATHOLIC.
SO, WE GOT
ALL THE BASES COVERED.
SPEAKING OF BASEBALL,
WHILE THE OTHER KIDS WERE
FOLLOWING THE BASEBALL SCORES,
I WAS FOLLOWING THE POP CHARTS.
YOU CAN ASK ME ANY--
I THINK I'VE HEARD THAT BEFORE.
WHY DON'T YOU SAVE THAT FOR
THE LINER NOTES ON THE ALBUM ?
ALBUM ? WE'RE GETTING
AN ALBUM DEAL ?
NO ! I DID NOT SAY THAT.
I WORKED FOR DAVID MERRICK
ON BROADWAY.
I KNOW ABOUT CONTRACTS.
I THINK WE'RE GONNA
HAVE TO INSIST ON %
OF THE FIRST % NET PROFITS.
THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
FIRST OF ALL, I HAVE NOT
SEEN THIS GROUP EVEN PERFORM.
OH, LET ME TELL YOU !
AFTER THIS CONCERT,
PEOPLE WILL BE STANDING
ON THEIR HEADS TO BID.
NOBODY IN THIS WORLD IS GONNA
GIVE YOU ANY MORE THAN %
OF % OF % OF THE PROFITS.
HOW ABOUT NINE PERCENT ?
THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
NO MORE THAN SEVEN.
EIGHT PERCENT ?
YOU'RE ROBBING ME.
OH, USE YOUR NAPKIN !
I'M SORRY.
[ Whispering ]
WHAT ABOUT THE MERCHANDISING ?
NOT SO FAST !
AH, YES, THE MERCHANDISING.
NOW, I THINK THAT WE WILL
HAVE TO ASK FOR THE T-SHIRTS.
I FEEL LIKE I'M SITTING
ON MY OWN PLANE WITH
MA BARKER AND HER KID !
ALL RIGHT, YOU WANNA FIGHT ?
YOU GET THE T-SHIRTS,
I GET THE LUNCH PAILS
AND THE LOOK-ALIKE DOLLS.
YOU CAN HAVE
THE T-SHIRTS IN JAPAN.
WE WILL TAKE THE LUNCH PAILS
WORLDWIDE.
BACK UP A MINUTE
AND GO ALL THE WAY
BACK TO THE BEGINNING.
NOW, WHICH ONE
IS THE KREPLACH ?
I SEE YOU.
BUBBE,
THE FIRST TIME
I PLAYED SAN FRANCISCO,
I CAME IN ON A BUS.
AND HERE I AM COMING BACK
WITH MY SUCCESSFUL SON
ON A PRIVATE JET.
