Hey, Jimmy. We're gonna dance.

Come on.

I'm - I'm too depressed to dance.

Go ahead.

Wrapped in your arms

is where I want to be

- I want to be,

- Want to be

- What's wrong?

- Absolute disaster.

- What?

- I had to get some clients into the club...

so I gave the boss my coat to wear.

Here. Wear this.

[ Scoffs ]

It was really stupid.

I can't believe what an idiot I am.

- Why? Your coat's nice.

- Well, that's just it. It is nice.

But this guy's - Marshall's -

clothes are hideous.

It's famous. But to give him my coat

to put over them - so stupid.

It's just really stupid.

It's not stupid.

The club is really hard to get into.

It was unbelievably, incredibly dumb.

He's a really nice guy,

and I insulted him.

And this nice guy that I stupidly insulted

is basically my boss.

God! It was really stupid.

I guess you're right.

It was pretty stupid.

So why should I be ashamed

Uh, can I get you a drink?

Yeah. Thanks.

If we lose our love, it's a shame

Ooh, wouldn't want to live with the pain

Gonna stay fore very,

[ Continues, Faint]

Des, you're a wonderful man.

[ Sniffles ]

Take care of yourself, Des.

[ Continues, Faint]

Okay, Van. What's up?

- Get that ad guy friend of yours out of there.

- [ Woman] Van.

What do you mean?

When I turned him away

with a group of his clients...

he snuck around back,

where you let them in.

I didn't let 'em in.

They're inside.

Rick just saw them.

- Is this really important?

- I'm not out here on jerk patrol...

just so that you can

let them in the back way.

Bernie promised me he'd fire you

if that guy's in the club.

I can't believe that.

You made Bernie promise to fire me?

You really think Bernie keeps his promises?

[ Continues]

A w, freak out,

Le Freak, dest chm

Freak out

A w, freak out,

Le Freak, dest chm

- I need to see Bernie.

- [ Man ] Bernie is not around.

He's pretty mad, Des. Van told him

you were letting people in the back again.

When you let people in the back,

is a cover being charged?

- 'Cause that money should be coming here. - Of

course we're not charging a cover in the back. God.

Big fun to be had by everyone

It's up to you

It surely can be done

Bernie?

This thing that Van is saying about you promising

to fire me if Jimmy Steinway's in the club -

- That isn't true, is it?

- No, it's true. I can confirm that.

- This Jimmy Steinway I don't want in the club.

- Why?

- Allow us

- Come here.

We'll show you the way

Aw, freak out;

Le Freak, dest chm

You promised to quit

letting friends in the back.

No. You said we could still

let in people from the list.

Don't contradict me, Des.

I don't want a lot of ad people in the club...

particularly not this guy.
