UH, LET'S SAY YOU SIGN

FOR AN EMPTY HAND-TOOLED

LEATHER WALLET.

YOU RUN A NICE BUSINESS

AROUND HERE, DON'T YOU?

HI, DUKE.

WE'VE BEEN OVER THERE

WAITIN' FOR YOU

AND TELLIN' STEVIE HERE

ALL ABOUT IT.

YEAH, ABOUT WHAT?

OH, HOW YOU'RE GONNA

STAY ON, OPEN THE CLUB

AND EVERYTHING.

MAN, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM

GOOD TIMES START ROLLIN' AGAIN.

PLACE WAS REALLY LIKE A HOME

TO SOME OF US, YOU KNOW.

ESPECIALLY STEVIE HERE,

'CAUSE HE LIVES IN THE BACK.

YOUR BROTHER BEN

MADE A RIGHT SMAR LIVIN' FROM IT.

GONNA DO THE SAME THING

FOR YOU, DUKE.

I FIGURE LIFE OWES ME MORE

THAN JUST A LIVIN'.

ALL I WANT FROM THAT BAR

IS FOR SOMEBODY TO BUY IT.

LOOK, I'M GONNA BE

STUCK HERE 2 MONTHS,

YOU REALLY WAN TO HELP ME?

SURE, DUKE.

THEN YOU FIND ME A BUYER

FOR THE CLUB ALABAM

SO I CAN GET THE

HELL OUT OF HERE.

OKAY?

SURE, DUKE.

YOU TAKE CARE.

[Harley]

MR. DUKE.

MR. DUKE,

SIR.

IS IT ALL RIGHT IF WE WALK

A PIECE WITH YOU?

WE THOUGHT YOU WERE COOL.

A WISE DUDE LIKE YOU.

SHOWS HOW WRONG:

YOU CAN BE.

STEVIE, YOU SPEAK

FOR YOURSELF.

SOMETHIN' BOTHERIN'

YOU TWO?

OH NO, DUKE.

EVERYTHING IS:

"EXPUBIDENT,"

EXCEPT THAT, IT'S GONNA BE

A LITTLE HARD:

TO FIND A BUYER FOR THE CLUB

WITH THAT CLOSED SIGN

ON THE DOOR.

THAT'S THE WAY IT IS, BRO.

BUT IT DON'T HAVE TO BE.

REALLY, DUKE,

IF THE JOINT WAS OPEN,

PEOPLE WOULD BE HAVIN' FUN

AND PARTYIN' REAL GOOD

AND CATCHIN' GOOD.

WHY, A SUCKER

COME IN THEN AND

WANT TO BUY THE JOINT,

HE KNOW HE GONNA

HAVE TO GET DOWN

WITH SOME HEAVY BREAD.

YOU COULD BE:

PLAYIN' SWEET MUSIC

ON THE CASH REGISTER.

YOU GUYS ARE:

DREAMIN', MAN.

HEY DUKE,

WHY DO YOU THINK

THOSE TOURIST DUDES

COME OVER HERE:

FROM ACROSS:

THE RIVER?

IT'S 'CAUSE THEY KNOW

THEY CAN SWING:

TILL BROAD DAYLIGHT.

SHH!

COULD GET 4 OR 5 TIMES

WHAT YOU'RE ASKIN'

IF THE CLUB WAS OPEN.

AND DON'T FORGE ALL THOSE ARMY RESERVERS

OVER AT THE ARMORY.

ONE NIGHT A WEEK,

AFTER MARCHIN'

AND DRILLIN',

THEY'RE HOT AND

THEY'RE THIRSTY,

AND WHERE DO:

THEY HEAD FOR?

THE CLUB ALABAM:

FOR SOME:

"REEELAXATION."

[Laughs]

RELAXATION,

HUH?

YOU KNOW SOMETHIN',

LITTLE MAN?

YOU REMIND ME:

OF ME WHEN I WAS

YOUR AGE.

TRYIN' TO BE SOMEBODY.

ALWAYS JIVIN' AND HUSTLIN'.

I AIN'T HUSTLIN'.

I'M JUST TRYIN'

TO GROW UP FAS IN A FAST TOWN.

[Harley]

AND ME?

I AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT AN OLD

FOOTBALL PLAYER, DUKE.

MAYBE DRINK TOO MUCH

EVERY NOW AND THEN.

BUT IF YOU OPEN:

THAT CLUB,

IT SURE WOULD MAKE ME FEEL

LIKE I WAS SOMEBODY.

OPENIN' THE CLUB

CAN'T HURT, CAN IT?

YOU SAID YOURSELF

YOU'RE STUCK HERE,

SO, YOU AIN'T GO NOTHIN' TO LOSE,

DO YOU?

DO YOU?

I AIN'T SOME DUMB BROAD.

I GOT RIGHTS.

HONEY, WE TOLD

YOU BEFORE,

DON'T RIP OFF THE MARKS.
