is that people hate being criticized.

Everyone hates that.

It's one of the great truths of human nature.

- [ Toilet Flushes ]

- I think it's why my parents got divorced.

I'm sorry. It's just that you're so terrific,

it makes me sick to think...

you might get in that terrible situation again,

where everyone hated you.

- Hated me?

- You're wonderful.

- [ Continues ]

- Maybe, in physical terms...

I'm a little cuter than you...

but you should be

much more popular than I am.

It'd be such a shame if what happened

in college repeated itself.

- [New Disco Song Starts ]

- Why would it repeat itself?

You're right.

I just think it's so important

to be in control of your own destiny.

Not to fall into that '50s clich

of waiting by the phone for guys to call.

The right ones never do.

Those who do, you have to make

the most ridiculous excuses to.

The nice ones get hurt feelings

and hate you.

The jerks inevitably corner you

into going out anyway.

Late at night you find yourself with

some awful guy with disgusting breath...

thrusting his belly up against you, trying to

stick his slobbering tongue in your mouth.

[ Groans ]

Thank God this is a whole new era

in music and social models.

[ Continues]

- Oh, what, wow,

- We're in complete control.

- He's the greatest dancer,

- Look down.

- Oh, what, wow,

- There are a lot of choices out there.

One night in a disco

on the outskirts of Frisco 'P

[ Man] Fantastic. This place is better

than I could have imagined.

It's too bad Steve and Marshall didn't come.

They really would have loved this.

- Don't worry about it. So what?

- So stupid.

I'm sure it's Jimmy.

I think it's much better to wait

until things happen naturally.

- Forcing things never works.

- That's not true.

Forcing things usually works beautifully.

You know, even if he's in advertising,

someone will want him.

I just think it's so important

that we be in control of our own destinies.

It doesn't matter.

Marshall's a really good guy.

He doesn't really care

about this kind of stuff.

- I can't believe it.

- He is the greatest dancer

Uh, excuse me.

Has anyone ever told you you look

just like Kate Preston's brother Rod?

- Who?

- Rod Preston.

- Do you know him?

- Uh, no.

[ Chuckles ]

Have you ever noticed...

how people who look just alike

never seem to know each other?

- [ Song Changes]

- Huh.

- Hi.

- Hey. How you been?

Fine. How are you?

- He's really depressed.

- God, isn't this place great?

It's fantastic. I love it.

- I really like this song.

- Yeah.

Do you like to dance?

- W-W-Would you?

- Sure.

Great. Should we all go?

L-I think he's too depressed to dance.
