Beat Street Page #3

Synopsis: An upbeat, lets-put-on-a-show musical about the wonders of hip-hop music and culture that tells the story of Kenny, a young hip-hop artist living in the rough slums of the Bronx with his younger brother Lee and their mother Cora. Kenny dreams of making it big as a disc jockey and playing in the most swank of Manhattan nightclubs, the Roxy. Into their lives comes Tracy, a composer and assistant choreographer from the City College of New York, who inspires him to try to continue his dream while romance begins to grow between them, despite coming from different neighborhoods and worlds. Meanwhile, Lee is part of a break-dancing crew set on dominating the scene of their street. The rest of their friends include Ramon, a graffiti artist determined to spread his painting to every subway car in the city while dealing with his girlfriend Carmen and Chollie, a fellow disc jockey who becomes Kenny's manager after he lands him a gig at a Bronx club.

you have to check out the style.

I've got my own style.

Yeah, but you just need some

of them professional touches.

Chollie, superstar is not a profession.

You can keep your dreams, gentlemen.

But get something to fall back on.

We got to get going.

Yo, Kenny. Yo, Chollie.

What's happening, Lee?

Yo, Chollie. Watch this.

You better practice up.

When we get to the Roxy tonight,

Beat Street breakers are gonna kick ass.

I don't know, little brother.

The Bronx Rockers are tough.

Yo, Ramon, let's go, my man.

Goddamn.

What are you doing? Stop!

Please, don't do this to me. Stop.

Man, I would not put up with that sh*t.

What are you, crazy?

- You're beautiful.

- Yeah, I'm beautiful.

F*** him!

He's just helping you stir the paint, brother.

"When are you going to stop

writing on the walls and make some money?

"When are you going to stop tagging

the subway cars?

"When are you going

to make your son legitimate?"

Legitimate, sh*t.

Just tell him about all the money

you're going to make with me and Kenny.

You know we're gonna have album covers,

posters, T-shirts, buttons...

- Chollie, you're always talking that sh*t.

- You're damn right.

Talk about something else.

Yeah, let's talk about

bombing subway cars, Ramon.

That's real fresh, brother, real smart.

Why don't we talk about what

a big goddamn deal you're gonna be?

That's all you ever think about anymore.

King of the Hustlers.

And you think like some little kid.

Man, you're so phony.

What are you doing?

Live from the Bronx, it's the 6:00 news

Tapin' two little homeboys singin' the blues

One talkin' paint, the other one money

And they're so full of sh*t

that it ain't even funny

Take it away, Walter.

Let's kick his ass.

You gonna kick what?

This could be the night

Gonna find the special one

to make you feel all right

This could be the night

We'll be living in a dream

until the morning light

I'm talking to you, ladies

Listen to me carefully

I know you're gonna find what you want

If you're waiting patiently

Don't make your move too fast

If you want this night to last forever

Love is waiting for you

This could be the night

Gonna find the special one

to make you feel all right

This could be the night

We'll be living in a dream

until the morning light

Do you feel the magic

Everywhere tonight?

If you are gonna give all your love

Make sure that the feeling's right

This could be the night

Don't you make your move too fast

This could be the night

Tonight's gonna be for you and me

Hold it. He with you?

Yeah. He's my bodyguard.

Hi.

What you doing, man?

How come you don't frisk them?

Tracy!

Robert!

I'll see you all later.

I got a battle to attend to.
