Well, I didn't let him in.

If Van didn't either, then he's not in the club.

Did I ever tell you my first job

was in advertising at Y&R?

In those days, the big thing

was to be nice to everybody -

to the secretaries,

to the media department...

to the art director, to the client.

- Well, I don't think it's that way now.

- I don't care.

I don't want that element in the club.

Jimmy is, like, my best friend.

And you've been a good friend to him, Des...

but this Jimmy is not a good friend to you.

He's out of control.

He's an egomaniac.

- Jimmy.

- Where were you? What a nightmare.

Listen. I don't how you got in,

but you better go.

- What?

- This way.

- You're asking me to leave?

- Van has gone crazy.

He made Bernie promise to fire me

if he found you here.

Bernie hates ad agency people.

It's nuts.

I can't believe it.

That's like something out of the Nazis.

Come on. I will get you back on the list,

but tonight it's best if you go.

- Could I at least go tell my client that I've gotta go?

- No.

Please.

Tell him I got ejected.

His name is Hap.

- Okay.

- And that's for this irritating girl...

who's occupying my booth - Alice.

[ Des]

She's irritating? I thought she seemed nice.

- [Jimmy] You know her?

- Well, she's been here two times before.

- How is she irritating?

- I can't believe it.

- You're really gonna throw me out?

- Yeah.

[ Song Changes]

Thanks, Des.

You've really been a good friend to me.

[ Continues]

Hey. What happened?

It's okay.

Everybody dance

Do-do-do

Clap your hands

- Clap your hands

- [Woman ] Hi, Sandro.

Everybody dance

- [Man] Think we 'll get in?

- This usually works.

Everybody dance, do-do-do

- Clap your hands, clap your hands

- Des, I think we need to talk.

Yeah. There's something

I have to talk to you about.

Do-do-do, clap your hands

Clap your hands

Music never lets you down

Puts a smile on your face

Anytime, anyplace

Dancin' helps relieve the pain

Soothes your mind

- Whoo!

- Makes you happy again

Listen to those dancin' feet;

Close your eyes and let go

- I think Tom's here.

- Really?

- Tom Platt.

- If it aint got that swing

Bop shoo-op, bop shoo-opJ

Bop shoo-op

Everybody dance

Do-do-do, clap your hands

Clap your hands

Everybody dance

Do-do-do, clap your hands

Clap your hands

Everybody dance

- [ Growls ]

- Do-do-do, clap your hands

Clap your hands

Everybody dance

Do-do-do, clap your hands

Clap your hands

Spinning all around the floor

Just like Rogers and Astaire

Hoof all night without a care

Strutting to our favourite tune

The good times always end too soon

Everybody's dancin'

- [New Disco Song]

- [Alice ] Who's she?
