Saturday Night Fever Page #3

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.

Hey.

Hey, Tony, listen,

you want some speed?

It's very good stuff, Ton.

Really, it's good stuff. You want some?

Can't you guys get off on dancing?

Tony, can I wipe off your forehead?

Why not? Sure. Go ahead.

Hey, Doreen, it ain't no blowj*b.

You don't know f***

about women, Joey.

You get a blowj*b easier

than you get that.

I noticed.

I love to watch you dance, Tony.

- Oh, yeah?

- I love it. I love to watch you dance.

I just love it, watching you dance.

Hey, Tony, listen, do her a favor.

Why don't you take her

for a dance, huh?

That's a good idea. Wanna dance?

Would you like to dance with me?

I'd dance with you.

It's for charity.

Any kind of dresses

with the lace on the side.

Weirdest chick I ever seen.

Ton, I love to watch you dance.

I just love it, watching you dance.

Doreen, move up a little bit.

Come on, doll.

She's doing a two-step with him.

Jesus Christ.

Get your head out of his belt, there, doll.

Oh, Jesus.

You can't dance to this sh*t.

- Let's get the f*** out of here.

- I paid $5 to hear this sh*t?

You paid $5?

I f***ing paid for you to get in.

Hey, Monti,

what are you playing that sh*t for?

What are you talking about, baby?

Look at that chick, she's dancing, man.

She's grooving.

- Joey?

- Yeah.

You know that girl?

No.

- You ever see her before?

- No.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I seen her here

about a month ago.

She can dance, you know that?

She got the wrong partner, of course,

but she can dance.

- Go ask her.

- F*** you.

Yeah? Which position?

Who the hell's that guy?

- Hey, Penny.

- Hey, Tony!

- How you doing?

- Okay. How you been?

All right. You gonna dance for me?

- Sure, why not?

- Okay.

- Hello, Lucille.

- Hello, Nureyev. How you doing?

- You got a Seven and Seven for me?

- Sure, doll.

Give me one of your butts, too,

all right?

Sure.

Having another sweepstakes.

I know that.

It's double the prize money. $500.

You gonna enter?

Well, you'll need a partner.

We won before.

But we're gonna have to practice.

We'll have to practice.

They got people coming in

from Manhattan.

Revelation, Gazebo's.

You know that, right?

We'll have to practice.

That's "practice," Annette.

It don't mean dating,

it don't mean socializing,

it means practice.

Why not? We had a date.

Yeah, once, and once was enough.

Why?

Why? Annette, the whole time,

you talked about your married sister.

And then, you was talking

about your other married sister.

And then, your third married sister.

I got the idea

that all you was interested in

was being a married sister yourself.

I got bored with it.

Hey, look, I told you

I'd take care of it, huh?

Hey, Tony, look, Double J's been
