-I do all right.

-How?

On tips?

Come on, take the ten grand.

Success has no conscience, Vincent.

I'll take it as an investment.

You invest in my record company.

You know, your brother

offered me nothing.

Why are you so good to me,

Vin cent?

'Cause I'm better than you, Pop.

Let's shake on it.

You son of a b..ch.

There was no way you were gonna

leave here without no money, hah?

Come on, come on.

Carlo, bring some wine.

Come on, we celebrate.

Nothing's changed.

Take it easy.

Let's go, Tony.

Come on.

Thanks for the dough.

Vincent.

If you're gonna be a businessman,

wear a tie.

Here.

All right.

When you get to Syracuse, you're

gonna see Dick Spense at WKOL.

In Buffalo, Larry Fugman at WBBS.

-I know all that.

Wait a minute!

Rochester, Walt Bennet...

...WQR, very nice guy.

Don't forget the cake.

Here's names and numbers.

I don't know, Vin,

everything's riding on this kid.

Don't worry about him.

All he's gotta do is look good.

I'll take care of the rest.

You know what I mean?

What about you? Who's gonna

take care of you, huh?

Thanks.

Hasta la vista.

This is crazy, Vinnie.

They're babies.

I'm not... l can't pretend to a

bunch of thirteen-year-olds.

I can't. I'm used to playing

in front of adults, you know that.

Will you just cut the crap,

okay, Tommy?

If these kids dig you, this guy

will play the record.

He's the number one D.J.

in Rochester.

We need him, Tommy. Huh?

I Can't Tell.

I can't tell if you love me, baby.

I can tell you love Walt Bennet.

Kids, you know we got a very

special surprise for you tonight.

You know that the Walt Bennet Show

on WQR always brings you the hits.

The fabulous top ten,...

...authenticated by actual

count in the record stores. Right?

Well, tonight we've got a young man

from New York City and...

...he's coming here just to do his

new record for you.

-I'm telling you, I feel sick.

-Don't worry about it.

Just do what we practiced, okay?

Come here.

You're cute, you're adorable.

You're the boy next door.

Boys, don't you get jealous

about that.

Let's give a big Rochester

welcome to Mister Tommy Dee.

Here Is My Love.

Why don't you watch

what you're doing.

Don't look at me. Don't look.

Look, look at the girl.

Look in her eyes,

right in her eyes.

Right in the front row.

Right there.

Smile at her. Wink at her.

Don't lose it.

You got it.

Turn around. Right.

Come on, turn around!

Do the routine! Come on, you got it.

They love you.

Okay kid, get them!

Come on, Tommy, you got it.

Don't worry about it.

Have a good time.

You got it!

You got that head turning walk

Just talking about it

Makes me want you again

But I am watching my step
