Saturday Night Fever Page #4

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.

in the car 25 minutes with some chick.

So what?

So, I can't get the selfish prick out.

These guys can't do nothing without me,

you know that?

Hey, listen, are you gonna

make it with Annette?

No, I don't think so.

You know, Joey, you make it

with some of these chicks,

and they think

you gotta dance with them.

Look at this guy, huh?

All right, get out.

You've been in there 20 minutes.

- Come on!

- 25 in the car, 20 in the chick.

Yeah, well, get out

before we pull you out.

- She ain't come yet.

- Since when do you care?

Hey, come on!

Whoa. Okay.

- Harder! Harder!

- Okay, it's happening!

It's happening! It's happening!

I'll be out in a minute, man.

Harder! I'm coming! I'm coming!

Oh, yeah!

Yes.

What did you say your name was?

Kiss me.

Kiss me!

Oh, I just kissed Al Pacino!

Al Pacino. I don't look like Al Pacino.

Well, I could look like him.

Al Pacino.

Yeah. Al Pacino.

Al Pacino!

"Attica! Attica!

"Attica! Attica!

- "Attica!"

- Hey, give me the ball.

Hey, you wanna go see

that Bruce Lee picture at the Orpheum?

- Yeah!

- Hey, you wanna know something?

Bruce Lee's dead,

so I don't give a damn about him.

- Hey, look.

- Man, you got no respect for the dead.

What kind of sh*t is that, huh?

Hey, you guys see what the Knicks

are gonna pay Frazier?

We're never gonna make

that much money in our whole life.

- Hey, douche! Douche!

- It's all right. It's okay.

Hey, you know why

you don't kill fags on Sunday?

You kill fags on Sunday,

they go straight to heaven.

Hey, sweetheart! Hey, your turn, isn't it?

You look so heavenly,

it makes me want to die, you know?

Hey, Double J, hey!

You know, this is a drag.

What's with you today, huh?

Nothing.

I'd just rather be doing 2001 tonight.

Yeah? Well, f***ing do it.

Oh, "f***ing do it."

You got 20, 30 bucks

to blow twice a week?

- Come on, Tony.

- Hey, Tony.

Man, I'm gonna get myself one of these,

you know.

You're never gonna get yourself

one of these.

These things cost too much money.

You'll never have that kind of money.

Hey, you, you know,

I've had you up to here.

That's your favorite speech.

You're never gonna have

that kind of money.

Not you, not me, not anybody.

Hey, get it together before it's all

over the street, huh? You see this?

This is a Caddy Seville.

My Uncle Nunzio's got one of these

and he's got a Mercedes Benz, too.

You know how he got it?

He forced his partner to sell out.

He gave him a real screwing.

It's a dog-eat-dog world, right?

Everybody's out for what they can get.

It's true.

They got it all locked up.

Ain't nobody gonna give you a chance.

Nobody gives you nothing, Joey.

Yeah, you know,
