You drive all the way here?
Yeah. I thought it'd be a nice vacation for my daughter and myself.
The glamor boy due in soon?
Any minute.
My daughter, Francine, boys.
Hi.
How do you do?
And don't get any ideas.
She doesn't go for anyone who doesn't wear an Arnie Haines button.
Well, you'd better find a new hero, Miss MacLaine.
Anybody your mother doesn't like generally winds up in the tail end of nowhere.
My mother says her column is always fair.
We'll see.
Now, baby, you're taking all this too seriously. Relax.
Hey, what is this?
Looks pretty clear to me, boss.
Arnie!
Mr. Haines.
Mayor Bagley.
Hi, Sis.
How's Mom?
She's fine.
I didn't think anyone knew I was coming except my folks.
Your parents thought it best to wait at your home.
But if you want my advice, you'll take the next train back to New York.
Hey, wait a minute.
It's okay. Relax.
You want to keep me out of my hometown? Why?
I tell you, Mr. Haines, and we the people of Mellondale...
consider your so-called music outrageous.
Rock and roll is for morons!
You've seen the moral effect it's having on our younger generation.
And I say again, it's outrageous! Depraved!
Well, what's depraved about dancing?
We want Arnie! We want Arnie!
Stop it! Stop it!
Stop it!
I will not tolerate such behavior in this town.
Go home!
Children should be seen and not heard.
Boy, there's a quote from the Middle Ages.
Look, Mayor, the boys and I just came home for a rest, that's all.
We're not here to perform.
Now, if you don't bother us, we won't bother you.
I have no legal right to keep you out of town.
But I want to warn you.
Just one, one exhibition to ruin the morals of our younger people...
Just one toot.
And out you go.
Please stay. Don't go.
I suppose you think that the Mayor is right.
If I said yes, you'd think I'm not being fair.
Let's just say, "no comment."
Come on, let's get back to the hotel.
Arnie, you don't mean that you're gonna let that old windbag stop you from performing here.
He's not stopping me. I told the truth.
The boys and I just came home to rest up for the summer.
Now, look, let's forget the whole thing. It's really not important.
Oh, but we think it's important.
We're human beings, too, aren't we?
We've got some rights.
Look, if we don't break the law.
Bagley can't tell us what to do or what not to do.
You can't get...
Davey Loman, you get on home, before I take a stick to you.
Ma, I'm 17.
In that case, I'll have to get a bigger stick.
Gettin'.
The Mayor was right.
Arnie Haines, you stay away from our kids.
Look, kids, thanks.
Thanks a million for being here.
I really appreciate it, but I guess...
You'd all better get home before there's more trouble. Thanks.
