Saturday Night Fever Page #2

Synopsis: Nineteen-year-old Brooklyn native Tony Manero lives for Saturday nights at the local disco, where he's king of the club, thanks to his stylish moves on the dance floor. But outside of the club, things don't look so rosy. At home, Tony fights constantly with his father and has to compete with his family's starry-eyed view of his older brother, a priest. Nor can he find satisfaction at his dead-end job at a small paint store. However, things begin to change when he spies Stephanie Mangano in the disco and starts training with her for the club's dance competition. Stephanie dreams of the world beyond Brooklyn, and her plans to move to Manhattan just over the bridge soon change Tony's life forever.

we got some downs,

three ludes, two Js,

and a half a bottle of vodka.

All right, yeah, yeah!

That's what you got, huh?

I bet I'd get a bigger high from a fart.

- You want something?

- No.

We ain't dropping nothing till I say so.

- Oh, come on. Why the f*** not?

- Hey, bullshit.

I got my reasons, all right?

I got my reasons.

Oh, f***, Tony.

What's wrong with you, man?

Hey, give me the vodka.

Hey, when're you gonna get new tapes?

These things are four years old.

I bought them in the bargain basement.

You don't like my tapes?

I'll get new tapes.

Hey, looking sharp, huh?

Sharp as you can look

without turning into a n*gger.

- Or a spic.

- Spic, spic.

Would you put your dick in a spic?

- Does it get bigger in a n*gger?

- I don't know.

I gotta score tonight, man.

I'm horny, you know what I mean?

Horny.

Yeah, man, I know what you mean.

Horny, right? Horny!

Hey, anybody scores,

you get in the car for 10 minutes,

and you're out for the next guy, all right?

If you get five, you get

a medal of honor with rubies,

and a piece of the Pope's ass.

What are you talking about, man?

The Pope don't got no ass,

that's why he's the Pope.

Now, shape up, you a**holes.

We're the faces.

Tony, how's it going? All right?

Hey, Moe!

Hey, Tony, you seen Pauline

around here at all?

No, we ain't seen Pauline.

Joey, you seen Pauline?

Hi. What would you like?

- Oh, give me a Seven and Seven.

- Yeah, I'll take a beer.

Hey, I'd like a vodka and tonic.

You guys wanna go see the Knicks

on Tuesday? Anybody?

- Give me a...

- Wanna see the Knicks?

Tony.

- Yeah.

- What do you mean, "yeah"?

Well, I mean, I could dance with you,

but, you know, you're not

my dream girl or nothing like that.

You want a dream girl?

Well, then go to sleep

and have a nightmare.

Hey, Gus, here's the speed.

What are you doing? Here, take this.

Hello, again. This is beautiful Monti,

your delicious deejay,

reminding you about

the Universal Disco sweepstakes,

so get in line to get the prize.

- Oh, looks good!

- Go, baby.

A trip. A good trip.

Feel the music, baby.

Look at that chick.

I'm gonna dance with her.

Which one?

Come on, Tony! Dance!

All right!

It's so beautiful in there.

I like your new haircuts.

I like that polyester look.

Turn yourself there, baby.

All right!

Yeah!

Hey, Tony, you know something?

You're the king out there.

You're great. You're a great dancer.

You could do as good as me

if you practiced.

Yeah?

Think I'd be a good dancer, Tony?

Sure. Why not? No.

- No?

- No.

- Ain't you gonna ask me to sit down?

- No, you'd do it.

- But you'd ask me to lay down.

- No, you would not do it.

Double J, move over.

I want you to meet my friend here.
