Can't you give him a break?

"So you want me, to make him

a bartender now?"

"You know, I am too nice for my own good"

People take advantage

"Thanks, Steve"

But don't you say anything to him. Okay?

I'll tell him myself

Why is everyone so sentimental

this time of year!

I hate the holidays

"Greg, hey man. It is great to see you"

I wasn't sure if you were coming back

"No way,"

I couldn't miss Anita tonight. Plus...

I should meet up with my

very possibly girlfriend?

Girlfriend? Is that where you have been?

"Yeah... Julie Black, man"

Bull sh*t!

"I'm not jiving you, I swear"

"Great, man"

I got to go find Anthony

You need any party materials?

"No thanks, not tonight"

Steve!

"Come on, I have been here every holiday"

It is New Year's eve

"Please, I'm so lonely"

"Go home, honey"

This is my home

Remember what happens tomorrow?

"The new decade, Turkey"

The new bartender gets announced

"Oh right. It is looking good for you

for sure, man"

Really?

Hey! Hey!

Your fairy tale wish just came true

I got a very special job for you tonight

"Grace Kelly is coming,"

and I want you to take care of her

No sh*t!

Yes

"but try not to say "sh*t" around her,

okay... "

"She is from Philly,"

but I don't think she does that anymore

"No, not tonight. Not tonight"

"Never, never, never come to me like that"

Kelly? Are you sleeping?

Is Gracie there?

"Well tell her, I'm going to meet

Princess Grace tonight"

Ahh! No kidding! No way!

I just wanted to wish you

good luck tonight

You are going to be great

Happy New Year!

"Hey, it is Errol Flynn"

"It is great to see you man,

I have been trying to reach you... "

Hold on

My date is getting crushed

Hi

Hi

I got a great idea

"Oh come on, it will be wild"

Some of us are going back to

Roland's house later

"He wants to know, you want to come?"

Actually it will be just us three

"There goes Donna, excuse me"

"I don't understand,"

"I thought we, you know, connected"

"Shane, I already explained this to you,"

my career is really important to me

right now

"Listen Shane, I like you, I really do... "

"... but drop the fantasy, okay"

"I'm building something here,

and I thought,"

...you wanted to get ahead too

Now Roland's the kind of guy that can

make that happen for you

Don't you want that?

Not that way

Happy New Year!

"Okay, first I wanted to tell you all

something"

That most of you already know

I love you

"We love you too, Steve!"

Secondly. There have been a few little

rumors floating around...

...about me and a certain

government agency

"But rest assured, that is all

taken care of"

Just try and tangle with me!

"And now, I want to introduce you

to a brand new talent"

A talent for the 80's

"That I discovered in the coat room,"

...believe it or not!

Please welcome... Anita!

Tonight is the night I fly. Spread my

wings and touch the sky!

Tonight is the night I see... everything

that's waiting for me

I'm loving this new world I'm in

You know it fits like second skin

Then they say it comes and goes so fast

But we got something built to last

"Oh baby, it's your love

that sets me free!"

Tonight is the night I fly

Spread my wings and touch the sky!

Tonight is the night I see everything

that's waiting for me

"Ohh, yeah, oohh right, tonight I fly!

Tonight is the night!"

I've got to be free!

Everybody gets down!

Turn on the lights!

Dottie? Dottie?

Mona?

"Hey, hey. Princess Grace is here

and she is thirsty"

What?

"This way, you are on. Come on"

No

Shaney... It has been a mean night. Okay?

And I'll cry about it tomorrow. I will

"But tonight, the show must go on"

Lets go

I can't. I can't talk to anybody

"We did it to her, this place did"

"Come on, come on. You can't

blame yourself,"

...if she couldn't handle her drugs

"Come on, lets go"

"It will calm you down. Come on, take it"

This isn't right

Princess Grace is here. Okay?

Princess Grace

We lost a friend tonight

"No, no, no. I lost a friend tonight"

"Alright, no offense,"

but you were just another

pretty face to her

She was my friend

"Oh, she was completely nearsighted"

She couldn't tell one of you

from the next

Now get it together and get downstairs

Hey! Don't forget how replaceable

you are. Little Lord Fauntleroy

"Try telling them that, Stevie! Remember?"

I'm one of New York's finest

I'm Shane 54!

Like there wasn't a Gabriel 54

and a Rhett 54

Bullshit!

"Don't tell me that is the first time

you ever read an "Interview" Magazine"

"Oh no, it is!"

"F*** you, you troglodyte"

"Hey, where you going!

The door is that way!"

He is out!

I love you

I.R.S.

They are here

"Shane, I knew you would come to your

senses. Meine klein Shane"

"I went downstairs to get my keys,"

...and they are raiding the office

"Even from here, those suits look cheap"

"Steve, are you going to get out of here?"

Where would I go?

"Lets go, Shane"

What are you guys doing!

Steve wants you out!

"Get off me! Yo' Billy, come on, man!"

Get out of here!

I got to get my wallet

"Hey, these handcuffs are too tight!"

They will leave marks

What am I?

Public Enemy Number One

for Christ's sake

This is so tacky

Shane!

You want a ride?

"Look Shane, I'm sorry. I know I

acted like a fool,"

but you know how it is in there

Where is Roland?

I lost him in the balcony

I'm sorry. Come on

What about your career?

I thought that was your big priority

Yeah well... I'm not so sure anymore

Me neither

So now what?

"I like you, Shane"

"Lets face it,"

...we are Jersey

"Yeah, we are"

So... friends?

Friends

"Agents of the I.R.S. and the F.B.I.,"

"... raided the highly popular Studio 54,"

So that is how my decade ended

"In the year and a half that

Steve was in jail,"

...things changed a lot

Big corporations had taken over

the New York Club World

...doing what corporations do

Making everything safe and boring

The freedom was gone

I kept in touch with Julie

"She was doing alright,"

"she moved to Hollywood,"

and got a small part in a good film

I hadn't seen Greg and Anita in a while

Brought back too many memories

"They were still together, doing fine"

Anita recorded a great album

with Casablanca

but some people thought it was too disco

I had been taking business classes
