Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo (1984)

1. Boy, I'm sure glad this show is closing.

2. Oh, me, too.

3. Do you have another gig lined up after this?

4. No, but I know I don't want to do another chorus line.

5. Well, Kelly, now that you've left your life in the theater,

6. maybe you'd like to reconsider my offer of four years at Princeton.

7. I haven't quit, dad. I'm just taking a break.

8. I've told you a million times, dance is my life.

9. I don't understand.

10. With your intelligence

11. and the opportunities that I could provide...

12. What about your young friend of yours, that lawyer?

13. What was his name? Derek?

14. He wanted to marry you. Why'd you break up with him?

15. Derek's a nerd.

16. And you're the one that liked him, not me.

17. Well, at least she's not spending time

18. with those street people anymore, darling.

19. Look, I come home to relax with you guys, not argue.

20. But we are relaxing, dear.

21. I am not arguing with you, Kelly. I'm telling you.

22. I don't like the life you're leading.

23. Well, it's my life, dad.

24. We don't clean up for any of the other girls like this.

25. This place is a mess. It needs cleaning anyway.

26. You just now realized that?

27. The mere sound of Kelly's voice on the phone

28. drives the funk from your dingy socks away.

29. You know what, you should have more respect for our dance partner.

30. Hey, look who's here! Kelly!

31. Hey, Kelly!

32. - Kelly! Kelly! - Turbo! Ozone!

33. - Hey, Turbo, it's good to see you. - Good to see you.

34. - Whoo! Look at that ride. - Hi.

35. Hey, I've really missed you.

36. That's a sharp car.

37. Looks like show business is treating you good.

38. Yeah, actually, I'm pretty burnt out.

39. Yeah, I've been hustling for pennies.

40. Doesn't it seem like dancing is just the same old tune?

41. Yeah, I know. All those auditions and cattle calls.

42. "We'll call you next week."

43. Hey, look who's here! It's Kelly!

44. Hey!

45. Special K!

46. Hey, Special K, look what Ozone taught us!

47. All right! Kelly's back!

48. All right! Hey, that's fresh.

49. So you're teaching class?

50. Yeah, I'm teaching class now.

51. Hey, man, come on.

52. Aw, man, forget her. She's just a tease. Come on, man.

53. Uh-oh, Turbo's in love.

54. Let's jam!

55. Huh. Miracles, huh?

56. Yeah, it's our community center.

57. Turbo and I help out here sometimes.

58. - Really, and this is where you teach? - Yeah.

59. All right.

60. Well? Magician, show us around.

61. Whoa!

62. Are these guys professional? They're really good.

63. No, these are just our kids. They're from the neighborhood.

64. Look at 'em. They get off. Whoo, get down!

65. I'm telling you, this place is fresh.

66. - Oh man! This is great! - Come on! Let's watch!

67. That's where we get dressed at, over there.

68. This place is great for the kids, Kelly. Look.

69. Oh man, you have mirrors. This is great, you guys.

70. - Wait 'til you meet Byron. - Where is he?

71. - Pick it up! - Hey, what's happening, champ?

72. - Hey, how are you? - All right.

73. Good to see you.

74. Hey, hot stuff! What's going on?

75. How they doing anyway?

76. They're doing all right. Not deadly, but they're determined.

77. What's this?

78. Wham!

79. Hey, who's the new talent?

80. This is Kelly. She's our dance partner.

81. Kelly, this is Byron, the dude that runs this place.

82. - Hey, Byron, good to meet you. - Hey, it's a pleasure.

83. You must be the one who used to dance with these two turkeys.

84. Yeah, hey, it looks like you're doing a great job with these kids here.

85. We try. Tell you what.

86. If you have any spare time, drop around.

87. We can always use help around here.

88. All right, I'll talk to you later. Got to get back to work now.

89. See you out there.

90. - Come on, I want you to meet my kids. - Okay.

91. These kids got a lot of talent.

92. Michael! Get off!

93. Look at those girls. They get off. Come on.

94. Come on, you guys, I want you to meet Kelly.

95. - Hi. - Hi, how're you doing?

96. Hey, Michael, why don't you get out here and show us what you got?

97. That's fresh. Try it like this.

98. Hey, let's lock it up!

99. Hey, come on! Let's turn the music up!

100. No, I'm gonna need more time to get these materials.

101. Got to get somebody down here with a couple of flatbeds.

102. I don't know.

103. How long it'll be before we can start this project?

104. Not long. It'll come down soon.

105. Should pass through channels in about three weeks.

106. Randall, I want this building. This is the perfect site.

107. So how'd you wind up here, anyway?

108. When Byron found this place, it was a dump, Kelly.

109. - Yeah? - Yeah, we sort of all got together

110. and fixed it up.

111. Well, it looks fantastic. You guys did a great job.

112. Yeah, well.

113. The kids really mean a lot to you, huh?

114. It's like a second home to all of us.

115. Man, this place is great. I love being here.

116. - You're between jobs, aren't you? - Yeah.

117. You could teach.

118. You think it'd be okay?

119. You heard what Byron said, didn't you?

120. We need all the help we can get.

121. I tell you, I would love working here.

122. Well, all right!

123. I want to build that shopping center.

124. I want to build it on the site that we talked about.

125. The property values in that area are just going to take off.

126. And that building that the kids are in, well, that has got to go.

127. Well, I'm working on it, but you know commissioner Snyder

128. is soft on these so-called "community projects."

129. Now, Randall, I want zoning's cooperation.

130. And I am counting on you to get it for me.

131. Wait a minute, isn't this a city building?

132. Oh, yes, commissioner, the city loaned it to some kind of local group

133. for a community center.

134. They call it something... Miracles, that's it.

135. Miracles. Miracles! What an inspiring name.

136. What do they do here?

137. Oh, it's just designed to keep kids off the street.

138. You know, they have classes in art and dancing, that kind of thing.

139. These ventures come and go.

140. The key thing, though, is that our current engineering reports

141. show that that building is structurally unsound.

142. So it would be more cost effective at this point

143. to tear the building down, and offer the property for sale.

144. And I don't think it would be bad if we took this area

145. and put in a shopping center here.

146. - But where will all those kids go? - They've got their club, Radiotron.

147. - Well, Mr. Randall, you might be right. - Good.

148. - Hey, Kelly! Yeah! - How you doing?

149. Oh, look who's here, girls.

150. Yeah! All right!

151. Electros rule the dance floor now, sucken

152. Why don't you get back to your social club

153. and go play with the babies?

154. Come on, you guys, let's turn these fools out.

155. Did you bring your mama along to wipe your nose?

156. - Fool, get back! - Hey, man, be cool!

157. Look it, we're not gonna waste any of our moves.

158. And we're sure not gonna dance for you punks!

159. Ozone, look at this jive letter

160. they sent me this morning from city hall.

161. What's this baloney?

162. That says our building is going to be condemned

163. unless somebody comes up with $200,000 to fix it.

164. And I don't think the city's gonna come up with that kind of bread.

165. - Let's raise the money. - $200,000?

166. It's a whole lot of nickels and dimes.

167. We gotta try, champ.

168. Ms. Snyder, we received this letter saying that you people

169. plan on tearing our building down.

170. Yes, Mr. Smith. I know about that letter.

171. What can we do to save Miracles?

172. Listen, kids, I really am on your side.

173. But the best I've been able to do is get you a 30-day grace period

174. so that you can raise some money to renovate that building.

175. Well, we appreciate your 30-day grace period,

176. but do you really think that's long enough

177. to raise that kind of money?

178. I don't know.

179. But I do know this is your only chance.

180. Well, at least we have a chance.

181. - Thank you. - Here, look!

182. Here's 100.

183. Here's another 100.

184. Seven.

185. It's not looking too good, is it?

186. Come on, you guys, it's a start.

187. But we don't have too much time before the hearing.

188. And $7,000 is not going to impress the zoning committee at all.

189. Well, why don't we just put on a show?

190. You know, like those big ones with the dancing and the juggling.

191. Yeah, we could have it in the streets.

192. - Yeah, like a street festival. - Yeah!

193. - I'll dance! - Yeah!

194. - I could choreograph. - Hey, and I'll run rehearsals.

195. And of course, uh...

196. I could be the star.

197. So they called you about me?

198. Yes, they're considering you for the lead.

199. It opens in Paris.

200. In Paris? You're kidding.

201. Oh, Stanley! That's great!

202. Relax, relax. You still have to audition.

203. I'm gonna call you when they set a date if I can find you.

204. You've been awfully hard to reach lately.

205. I know, well, I've been teaching at this community center.

206. Well, it's very noble, but don't let it interfere with your career.

207. Well, I have had a lot of time on my hands lately.

208. Don't worry, that'll all change.

209. Okay, I'm going to hold you to that.

210. Nice to be working with you again, Ozone.

211. Yeah, it is.

212. - Here, help me carry this. - Sure.

213. Okay, now, back it up.

214. Hi! Sorry I'm late.

215. On, hi, Kelly.

216. Guess what? Stanley got me an audition.

217. I might be the lead dancer in a show that's going to Paris.

218. - Isn't that great? - Yeah.

219. What about this show?

220. Wow, you guys have gotten a lot done.

221. So you gonna stick with us or what?

222. Hey!

223. Electro rock!

224. Hey, let's take these suckers!

225. Later, suckers.

226. - I'll get that guy, man! - Sucker!

227. Ozone.

228. You've been off the street too long, blood.

229. Gotten lazy. You lost your edge.

230. You're the loser, punk.

231. Try me.

232. Electro rock!

233. TKO!

234. Make sure that Jake gets that note on that easement thing.

235. Jake, tell him about the easement...

236. Hey, hey, kid, get out of the way, all right?

237. What are you doing? What kind of camera is that?

238. Look, you'll have to get out of here, sonny, we've got some work to do.

239. Doing a movie? Can I be in it?

240. No, we're surveying the land.

241. Mr. Douglas here is going to build

242. a nice new supermarket.

243. - You mean here? At Miracles? - That's right.

244. Look, you get back to work, and you, kid, you get out of here.

245. Look, let's pack up. We've got enough for now to go on.

246. Over there!

247. Hey, hold on, buddy, what's going on here?

248. What are you fellows doing here with that equipment?

249. Well, we're making a preliminary survey of potential construction sites.

250. The name is Douglas.

251. Whoever you are, you got no business coming around here with that equipment.

252. We haven't had a hearing yet. And you don't own this property yet.

253. I'm very aware of the fact that the city owns it.

254. Are you, perhaps, a city official?

255. No, we're the legal tenants here.

256. That's a situation I don't think will last very long.

257. Yeah, well, look here, hot shot,

258. you can forget your plans, man, 'cause we're going to stop you.

259. We're going to stop you cold.

260. I doubt if an arrogant bunch of street kids have the power to...

261. You don't how much power we really have, do you?

262. We'll go to the press, and we'll fight this thing all the way.

263. Well, it's your time.

264. Waste it if you want to.

265. Is that man going to take away Miracles?

266. No, we're not gonna let him.

267. Yo, Turbo, hey, man, you know, we should work on some new moves, man.

268. Yeah, dude.

269. Something fresher than fresh, man.

270. Something funkier than funky. Something... you know what I mean?

271. Yeah, man, let's put on... Let's put on some Ollie & Jerry.

272. Yeah, that'd be cool. Put on that.

273. Hi, Ozone.

274. Ozone, I'd like to talk to you.

275. What do you want to talk about?

276. - Hi. - Bye.

277. Right.

278. Are you going with that Kelly now?

279. Oh, girl, what difference does that make?

280. - It makes a difference to me. - Well, it shouldn't!

281. Look, that thing between us, baby, was over a long time ago.

282. Well, I still love you, Ozone.

283. - Look, Rhonda, I'm sorry. - Forget it!

284. I don't need your sympathy, Ozone!

285. What do you want?

286. Do you know what I want? I want you to stay away from that girl!

287. Girls are whacked.

288. Come on.

289. Hey! Hey, man, what did she say?

290. She thinks you're sexy. She wants to dance with you.

291. Go on, man! I think she likes you.

292. Yo, Ozone, you think I look like a stud?

293. Ozone! Hey!

294. Did you say something?

295. Yeah. You think I got sex appeal, dude?

296. Gimme a break.

297. You're acting weird.

298. Dude... I need some advice.

299. What advice?

300. I wanna know how to start off with a girl, dude.

301. Yeah? You mean you're asking me how to get it on with a girl?

302. Well, something like that.

303. All right!

304. If that's the case...

305. I'll show you a few tricks of the old master.

306. There's two phases to this.

307. There's phase number one. You got to get the girl interested.

308. Then there's phase number two, the old tactical maneuver.

309. First, you've got to get the girl to come to you.

310. After you do that, you got to play it cool.

311. You walk by like this.

312. Real close.

313. Then you look at her. Only she doesn't know you're looking.

314. Now you try it.

315. Go ahead.

316. Go ahead.

317. Okay, okay, okay, suppose she knows I'm there.

318. What do I do next? Tell her! Love her?

319. No, man if you tell her that... She doesn't even know you yet.

320. - Can I kiss her? - No!

321. If you do that, she'll punch your lights out.

322. Then what do I do?

323. You do like I do. You just stand there and... just smile.

324. Smile? Like this?

325. No, matter of fact, don't smile at all.

326. Well then, can I kiss her now?

327. No, you whisper in her ear.

328. Whisper what?

329. You know, softly, like, "Hey, baby, you look fine."

330. "I like you. Hey, check this out."

331. Butter up to her, you know, go ahead. Try it. Here, here, here, try it.

332. Go ahead.

333. You have the nicest...

334. Teeth.

335. No, man, she's not a horse. Tell her about her eyes.

336. Ooh, your eyes are so...

337. Brown.

338. No. Here, move over.

339. Gonna have to start from scratch with you.

340. Let me show you how you do it.

341. Let's see.

342. Here we go.

343. Everybody, thank you. Thank you all very much.

344. Every one of you did a really fine job.

345. And I'll be contacting your agents about the part next week.

346. Thank you very much.

347. Now I know this director, and your chances with him are excellent.

348. Oh, man, I wish I could know right now.

349. I don't know what I'm going to tell Ozone, though.

350. All you used to talk about was your work.

351. Now all I hear from you is Ozone, Ozone.

352. Are you in love with the guy?

353. Oh, come on, Stanley. I just like the way he dances.

354. What's this Stanley tells me about our daughter dancing in Paris?

355. Darling, she doesn't even have the job yet.

356. And I also understand that she's been back in the streets with that...

357. Bozo or turbine or whatever the hell their names are.

358. She isn't in the streets, sweetheart. She's volunteering. It's charity work.

359. She is helping all those poor little underprivileged children.

360. Yeah, well, I'm gonna do something about all this nonsense.

361. Well, darling, I don't know what you can do.

362. Kelly's old enough to make her own decisions.

363. - I'm going to find a way. Call her up. - Yes, dear.

364. - Get her over here for dinner. - Yes, dear.

365. - I want to talk to that girl. - Yes, dear.

366. You know, maybe my father can help.

367. You know, I'm invited over there for dinner tomorrow night.

368. Why don't you guys come over?

369. That's a whacked idea, Kelly.

370. Why? He's an intelligent man.

371. He can help us out or at least give us some good advice.

372. I don't beg from rich people. I work for what I get.

373. I thought you'd do anything for those kids.

374. Well, it's not that.

375. I don't want to use you, Kelly.

376. That's okay.

377. - Yeah? - Yeah.

378. Wow, this is some layout.

379. When you said money, I wasn't expecting all this.

380. Come on, Ozone, they're just people.

381. Rich people.

382. Very rich people.

383. They're also my family.

384. - So are we. - I know. Come on.

385. Hi, Rosa.

386. I'd like you to meet my friends. This is Ozone and Turbo.

387. Oh, hi, mom.

388. Hello, dear.

389. Good to see you. How have you been doing?

390. So you must be Turbo and Ozone.

391. You... You certainly have original names.

392. Unique flair for fashion...

393. Which apparently is rubbing off on my daughter.

394. Thank you.

395. That must be dad.

396. - Thank you. - Derek?

397. Hello, Evelyn. You look lovely as always.

398. Oh, I'm so happy you could accept our invitation.

399. Thank you very much.

400. Hello, Kelly.

401. Oh, boys, this is Derek Sloane, Kelly's fiancé.

402. - Hi. - Yo, what's up?

403. Hello.

404. Mother...

405. What's he doing here? You know I can't stand him.

406. Don't blame me. I didn't know.

407. Well, your father thought it would be a good idea.

408. Sharp outfit.

409. We know.

410. - Hi, dad. - Hi, honey.

411. I want you to meet my friends.

412. Ah! Good to see you. How are you?

413. - Very good. - How's your law practice coming along?

414. Oh, very well.

415. Fortunately, in Hollywood, everybody sues everybody.

416. Shall we dine?

417. Bon appétit.

418. So, what do you think?

419. Good, huh?

420. See, Mrs. B, everyone loves your cooking.

421. Well, darling, they should.

422. After all, you spent a fortune sending me to cordon bleu.

423. - Well, it was well worth it. - Oh, but I do enjoy it.

424. It's pretty good, mom.

425. Well, this is the first time I've tried this dish,

426. but I'm really rather pleased.

427. Mmm, wonderful. Wonderful!

428. - Oh, dad. - Yes, it is good.

429. You know, I think I'm gonna have just a little bit more, if! May.

430. Well, boys, how are things going down at your club?

431. Kelly tells me that you've been doing just wonderful things

432. with these poor little deprived children.

433. Actually, Miracles is having some trouble, dad.

434. Those people can't stay out of trouble no matter what you do for them.

435. You're looking at one of those people.

436. Oh, well, Derek didn't mean to be rude.

437. Did you, Derek?

438. Derek always means to be rude.

439. Well, what kind of trouble are you in?

440. We're not in trouble. Our building is.

441. Yeah, they're gonna tear it down

442. and build some stupid shopping center there.

443. But they are giving us a chance to save the building.

444. Oh, I see.

445. You're here for money.

446. Well, I know what you people do with money.

447. You mismanage it.

448. You spend it on drugs and fancy clothes and cars.

449. Dad!

450. I don't see any point in throwing good money after bad.

451. Come on, Turbo.

452. Look, we don't need your help. We can take care of our own.

453. Oh, and thanks for the dinner, Mrs. Bennett.

454. Yes, we loved your cooking.

455. Uh, could we have the roll?

456. Arrogant riff-raff.

457. Sorry about the other night. I should have known better.

458. My parents live in a world all their own.

459. Mm, that's okay. I kinda liked your cat.

460. Ozone was really mad, though.

461. He was mad, but he wasn't mad at you.

462. It was just... don't worry about it. He'll cool off.

463. Kelly, listen to this situation.

464. I've got this friend. He likes this girl.

465. Does she like him?

466. - Yeah. - Then what's the problem?

467. Well, it's just that he gets just so confused

468. because he's such a cool dude, and he never had these feelings before.

469. This must be a really good friend of yours, Turbo.

470. Yeah.

471. Don't worry about it so much. I've seen her looking at you.

472. Well, it's just that I don't know what to say or do.

473. Just say yes.

474. - Yes. - Yes!

475. Yo, uh, Strobe!

476. Get away from me, man. I ain't got nothing to say to you.

477. Look, man... I want to call a truce, all right?

478. We want you with us, man.

479. Look, if they tear down Miracles, that's our neighborhood.

480. Don't you see, man? They'll redevelop us out of existence.

481. We need your juice, Strobe. We need to be united, man.

482. Ozone, don't lay the jive on me, man.

483. I don't need it.

484. Ozone, Ozone, guess what?

485. They offered me the part. I can go to Paris if I want to.

486. Are you going or not?

487. Well, I don't know. I have to decide tonight.

488. It's what you want. Take it.

489. It used to be what I wanted. I don't even know anymore.

490. Hey, look, baby, I can't decide for you.

491. I thought maybe you wanted me to stay here and help with the show.

492. It's your life and your career, isn't it?

493. Why don't you ask your, uh, fiancé, Derek?

494. Maybe he can help you decide because I can't hang, baby, you dig?

495. Excuse me.

496. What's the matter, honey? Did Ozone break your little heart?

497. He's not your type, girl.

498. I really don't want to talk about it right now, okay?

499. I suggest you stay away from him.

500. Just leave me alone.

501. You don't belong with Ozone. You don't belong in this neighborhood.

502. Honey, you just keep showing your pretty little face around here

503. and it's not going to stay pretty much longer.

504. Stanley. Hi, this is Kelly.

505. Um... I've decided to take the job.

506. Yeah, when do we leave?

507. Yeah, I'll be ready.

508. Um, why don't you call me when you get all the details?

509. Kelly, you are so lucky to be going to Paris. Oh!

510. Do you know when your father and I honeymooned there,

511. it was so romantic, all those wonderful, wonderful little cafés.

512. I loved it. It was so beautiful. We had such fun.

513. Your father looked so handsome in his white linen... suit?

514. Darling... Oh...

515. You'll forget all about this once you get to Paris, really, you will.

516. Let's go, okay, mom?

517. And, Commissioner Snyder, since no one has come forward

518. with funds in the amount required to save this building,

519. our office feels that it would be to the city's advantage

520. to tear down the building and put the property up for sale.

521. This would not only upgrade the entire area,

522. but make it commercially viable.

523. Viable for who?

524. The chair at this time does not recognize comments from the floor.

525. And the floor recognizes that this panel

526. is trying to push our people right out of our neighborhood!

527. I object to this outrageous interruption!

528. - Mr. Randall, this is a public meeting. - We're the public!

529. Right.

530. And the public says that Miracles is more than just a piece of property.

531. It's people.

532. Miracles is the lifeline of our kids.

533. Now, we know what kids can do with pistols, knives, and needles.

534. Miracles makes 'em feel good about theirself,

535. gives 'em something to look forward to, gives 'em a sense of achievement.

536. And it's not by stepping on people.

537. It's by working hard and working together.

538. Those are certainly admirable goals, sir,

539. and the city greatly appreciates your efforts.

540. But the fact is that the building that houses Miracles

541. has been considered unsafe.

542. It's not unsafe!

543. And, unfortunately,

544. you just haven't come forward with enough funds to save it.

545. But we're working on a show. We'll make lots of money.

546. Commissioner! Commissioner!

547. It's clear that it's beyond these people's resources...

548. To provide the necessary improvements for this building.

549. Now, in light of the fact that the city

550. has already received a healthy bid from Mr. Douglas here,

551. the planning office recommends to the zoning board

552. that we approve the development plan for this proposed shopping center.

553. - You're crazy. - Crazy?

554. - You're crazy! - Order!

555. Order here!

556. Well, I'm afraid that the zoning committee has no choice

557. but to accept the development bid

558. on the property currently occupied by Miracles.

559. - What? - Aw, you're crazy!

560. - You can't do that! - Ah, come on!

561. You guys are whacked, man.

562. Whacked? Who...

563. And the building will have to be vacated within the next two weeks.

564. Now wait a minute. Wait a minute.

565. This hearing is adjourned.

566. Yo, Douglas.

567. You haven't won yet.

568. You may have the city dancing to your music, but you don't have us.

569. Get out of my way.

570. Hey, man, we're going to stop you, commission or no commission.

571. Listen, if you cause me any more trouble, kid,

572. I'll finish you, your friends, and your whole damn neighborhood.

573. Listen, sucker!

574. What are we going to do now?

575. Well, if there's one thing I'm sure we're going to do

576. - is not give up, right? - Yeah!

577. - That's right! - Yeah.

578. Bobby, you setting those center corner posts.

579. Hey, man.

580. - Take my picture! - Hey, get out of here!

581. Get lost!

582. Hey, uh, what-what-what seems to be the problem?

583. Come on, kid, beat it, will you?

584. Yo, man, what's up?

585. You'd better watch it!

586. - I got your lunch! - Hey, hey, right now. Come on.

587. And you can't have it! Come, come and get me!

588. I got your lunch!

589. Gmbmm!

590. He's going out that way!

591. Ah!

592. - Down the stairs! - Ah!

593. See? I'm ready.

594. Who's that? Can you get it?

595. - Ozone. - Kelly, Turbo's been hurt real bad.

596. - Where is he? What's happened? - He's in the hospital. Come on.

597. Just a minute, Kelly, you can't miss this plane.

598. You're expected in Paris tomorrow.

599. Well, Paris is going to have to wait.

600. They won't wait. They'll hire someone else.

601. Well, let them hire someone else, or get me another ticket or something.

602. Yes? Yes?

603. Turbo, why don't you wake up?

604. Yeah, man. Come on, wake up.

605. - Hey, what you doing in there? - I don't know.

606. - What is she doing in there? - Maybe she lives in there.

607. - Hey. - He's talking!

608. - He's okay! - I don't believe it.

609. Turbo...

610. - Don't leave now. - Hey, man, wake up.

611. Man, I am hungry. Get me some food!

612. He's hungry! Turbo's hungry!

613. Come on! He's okay!

614. Now jam the box!

615. Every time I see you.

616. Now you children get out of the way. This is my floor.

617. This can't go on here.

618. No, no, no, we're losing him!

619. Oh, he's flatlining, doctor. There's nothing I can do.

620. It's too late. We lost him.

621. What happened?

622. Dad.

623. I find this hard to believe,

624. but Stanley tells me that you backed out of that Paris deal

625. in order to run off with that-that, uh...

626. Street dancer.

627. Well, may I come in?

628. Sure.

629. Oh, boy.

630. I've got an offer for you, Kelly.

631. I'll bail out Miracles, pay the cost of renovation...

632. On the condition

633. that you stay out of that neighborhood and go to Princeton.

634. I really do want to help Miracles.

635. Maybe I should do it.

636. A very sensible decision.

637. No, you won't.

638. I can't let you do that.

639. That's not what you want.

640. And that's not what you are.

641. Look, why don't you just stay out of this?

642. I told you, we can take care of ourselves.

643. We don't need your money.

644. But we do need you.

645. You really mean that.

646. Wise up.

647. Your pride can't afford to turn down an offer like this.

648. And what do you know about pride?

649. Pride's more important to our kids than your money will ever be.

650. Nobody is going to tell me when to lay down my pride.

651. Let me tell you something.

652. That-that theater or whatever it is of yours,

653. that's just another one of those public projects that takes good money

654. and throws it down the toilet!

655. Why are you always so negative about everything?

656. Everything that I've ever wanted to do, you've always been against it.

657. Dad, I'm staying.

658. You're making a big mistake, Kelly.

659. I got to get out of here.

660. I got to get back to Miracles and help with the show.

661. I can't be laying up in this traction.

662. Por favor?

663. You don't understand. Look.

664. You...

665. Must help me get out of here.

666. No, no, no.

667. It's very important for me to get out of here.

668. - I can't lie in the be... look. - No.

669. This belongs on stage, not in no hospital.

670. - Look, come on. - Oh... oh... no.

671. Turbo...

672. Turbo, por favor.

673. Turbo...

674. Shh!

675. Uh-oh.

676. Come on. Andele. Andele.

677. Hey! Are you new here?

678. You have to take linens down in the service elevator.

679. Me no ingles.

680. When are they going to hire some help that speaks the language?

681. Guess who?

682. Oh! Hey! Hey!

683. Job looks fresh. Hey, you guys. You guys gonna be ready for the show?

684. Okay.

685. Let's tear this show up, right on.

686. What's she doing here?

687. I thought I told you to stay away from here.

688. - I didn't take your advice. - I can see that.

689. Kelly, I'm only going to tell you this one more time... leave.

690. You're not going to tell me what to do or where to go.

691. I liked it a lot better around here with you gone,

692. and I want it to stay that way.

693. You think you're so tough, don't you? Well, you don't have your bodyguards.

694. You know, I turned down a good job in Paris to stay here,

695. and not you or anybody is going to tell me when to leave.

696. I'm staying.

697. What are we going to do, Ozone?

698. I know what we're going to do. Turn on the music.

699. Get out of here! Move away!

700. Go on! Get out of here! Get off that machine!

701. - What's going on here? - Look at this.

702. Never mind that! I said to get this thing moving!

703. Now get it moving!

704. - Okay, you're right. - Damn right, I'm right.

705. Hey, what's going on?

706. Hey, that's Turbo.

707. Come on now, move it!

708. Get out of the way!

709. Hey, why don't you guys just leave? Get out of here, man, what's up?

710. Get away from there, kid.

711. You going to run me over with the bulldozer, man?

712. What's up, you going to try break down the building, huh?

713. You're gonna have to get past me, sucker, yeah, that's right.

714. Gonna have to get past me. What's wrong with you, man, huh?

715. Man, I said stop! I said stop, you punk!

716. - Why did you stop? - The kid.

717. I don't care about the kids. I want that stage knocked down now!

718. - Yeah, come on, move me! - No way.

719. What do you mean, "no way"?

720. We came here to do a job, not to kill kids.

721. - Who you working for? - We're going home.

722. No, you're not going home! You wait here!

723. - I'll get that kid out of the way. - Yeah, move me!

724. - I'm staying right here, man. - Let's go, let's get out of here.

725. Where are you going? Bring that machine back here!

726. You'll not work again for me! Bring that machine back!

727. Okay!

728. We'll be right here, we'll get the background, okay?

729. Good afternoon. This is Howard Howard, Channel 3 News.

730. Today is when the little guys are going to take on the big guys.

731. Right behind me here you see a bunch of spunky kids

732. who are getting ready to fight City Hall in their own way.

733. You know why?

734. Because they don't want this community center

735. torn down for a shopping center.

736. There's a gentleman right over here that! Would like to bring in.

737. This is Mr. Ken Randall. He's from the city planning office.

738. Mr. Randall, Howard Howard, Channel 3 News.

739. Got a quick question for you.

740. Is the city going to let these kids lose their community center?

741. No, the city is here for the people.

742. There's obviously been some kind of a snafu here.

743. I mean, these things happen, even in the best of cities.

744. But I can assure you

745. that we will do everything to straighten this out

746. for the benefit of those deserving youngsters.

747. And that's good news from this...

748. The gentleman coming in here, this is Mr. Douglas,

749. - Douglas Construction. - How do you do?

750. Howard Howard, Channel 3 News.

751. Mr. Douglas is head of the firm that wants to tear down this site.

752. Howard, may I take Randall? It's very important.

753. - I need some information. - Certainly. Anyway, while these two...

754. - What did you say to that guy? - I said it was a SNAFU.

755. - What do you mean, "snafu"? - That's just what our mayor needs

756. is some bad publicity in this election year.

757. Are you telling me now that you and the city

758. are going to pull out of this?

759. Yes.

760. Ah! Oh! Mr. Douglas. Question, sir.

761. What action do you plan to take against the kids

762. who are blocking your project here today?

763. Oh, well, we're not going to take any action.

764. We of the Douglas construction company feel

765. we won't disrupt the community.

766. We will withdraw from the project.

767. Well, this is... this is a new and dramatic development here.

768. I would like to get a little reaction and comment from Mr. Byron Smith.

769. Well, you just heard Mr. Douglas changed his mind on the whole affair.

770. And I'm sure that Mr. Douglas would make a nice, sizeable contribution

771. to help us fare along just fine.

772. - That right, Mr. Douglas? - A contribution, yes.

773. It was suggested that $3,000...

774. That was suggested by Mr. Randall.

775. But we, of course, of the Douglas Corporation

776. feel that $6,000...

777. Really isn't enough for this project.

778. Therefore...

779. In fact, we're going to make a donation of $10,000 to this project!

780. Well, as you can see, there's a lot of excitement here today.

781. Finally the little guys are coming out on top,

782. and I think that victory deserves a lot of applause from all of us.

783. Ozone, quick question! Howard Howard, Channel 3 News.

784. Looks like you really danced your way to victory out here today.

785. Well, it's not over yet. We need a miracle to save Miracles.

786. We're $150,000 short.

787. Then why don't you tell them about it?

788. We're having a show today, right here, to raise money to save Miracles.

789. There's gonna be dancing and juggling, the whole works.

790. So come down and enjoy yourself and celebrate with us.

791. I'd like to see you there.

792. My god, it's Kelly!

793. I do wish she'd do something about that hair.

794. How about it for the Miracles dancers, everybody?

795. Come on, put your hands together for them one more time!

796. All right!

797. Right now we'd like to bring for your appreciation...

798. Put your hands together and welcome if you will,

799. Mr. Ice t and hot tot!

800. Aw, yeah, party people in the place to be!

801. First thing I want you to do is clap your hands.

802. Everybody, clap your hands. Yeah!

803. Ladies and gentlemen, as you check out the tote board,

804. we have $70,000, and we need $200,000.

805. So please, reach into your pockets.

806. Right now, welcome, if you will, little Lee!

807. Well, these kids have put together such a show here today

808. and single-handedly have raised over $150,000,

809. which is some kind of feat, but it's not enough.

810. They have more to go. They have to raise at least $200,000.

811. Are they going to make it? Well, we're going to support them...

812. You know, you got to hand it to those kids.

813. They really fight for what they believe in.

814. Well, darling, that's what we always taught Kelly to do.

815. Didn't we?

816. You know, Mrs. B, I think you're right.

817. Let's go.

818. Right now, once again, here they are, the fabulous Miracle dancers.

819. Dad, what are you doing here? I thought you...

820. Well, I've been thinking.

821. I guess we all have to live our lives the best way we possibly can.

822. You kids have done a great job here today.

823. I'm proud of you, Kelly. All of you.

824. Even without Princeton?

825. Yeah, even without Princeton.

826. Oh, thank you, dad!

827. Thank you. Look! 1

828. All right! Whoo!

829. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm holding in my hand,

830. thanks to the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Bennett,

831. a check for $50,000!

832. We made it! We've saved Miracles!

833. Thank you! Thank you! All right!

834. We made it, we got $200,000!
