- Yeah, I'm like "Dance Fever".

- We're gonna see on Friday.

- You can stay at my crib that night.

- That's cool. I'll ask my mom.

- Yeah, me too.

I had never danced a day in my life.

Not with a girl.

With Alicia being there,

I couldn't look like a fool.

So I figured I'd learn how to dance.

Check this out. 1580 AM, KDAY.

Oh, girl. You think I look good?

I think I look good.

Let me show you something.

Do you like that, girl?

That's cool. Watch this!

Girl, that wasn't it.

That wasn't nothing, girl.

Let me show you something cool.

You like that? You like me?

You sexy girl. Come here,

let me show you something.

You smell good, girl.

What is going on? Michael!

Mom.

I was just dancing.

There's a dance on Friday.

- So you did the freak with a rabbit?

- I've never danced before.

What about Deborah's wedding?

You were so cute.

- I was four. It's different now.

- Look at my little boy growing up.

That's the latest step.

It's called "the hip".

- So how's the job going?

- It's going well. The people seem nice.

Good.

- So who is she?

- What?

Only a woman can make a man

do the crazy stuff you were just doing.

- Come on. It ain't nobody.

- Whatever, boy.

I'm glad to see you like it here.

We're gonna stay here for a while.

Anyway, I think you need

a little more practice.

- Just keep it down.

- Okay, Ma.

This is it!

- Where'd you get that sweet hat?

- Carolina Blue in North Carolina.

Why are you wearing it like

a poindexter? Let me help you out.

- That's how the ballers wear it.

- Everybody got their pen and paper?

- A pen?

- To get girls' numbers.

Whoever gets the most numbers

gets a dollar.

- I don't have a pen.

- Here, I always carry a spare.

- But I'm gonna get the most anyway.

- You're crazy.

It was all new to me. I'd never danced

with a girl, let alone got her number.

Hold on. We didn't do the breath test.

- Sh*t!

- I'm cool.

But for how long? Have you got

some gum, candy, Binaca?

I need something.

My breath is kicking like Bruce Lee.

- Let's go to the mini-market.

- Hell, no. That's like Blood central.

I am not walking in there

with my breath smelling all tart.

Let's just go.

All right, man.

- Take that hat off. It's got blue in it.

- It's light blue.

- Take it off.

- What up, blood?

- My fault.

- Damn, that was too close.

I keep forgetting you're the rookie.

- Here are the refreshments.

- Tic Tacs.

- Good idea, but bad flavour.

- What's wrong with orange?

- School him.

- Tic Tacs are small, but powerful.

Always go small. You might be talking

to some girl, and the candy falls out.

- You'd look stupid.

- But Tic Tacs are hard to notice.

Especially in the dance, right?
