Dreamgirls Page #5

Whatever dreams we have

They're for the family

We're not alone anymore

Now there are others there

And that dream is big enough

For all of us to share

So don't think you're going

You're not going anywhere

You're staying and taking your share

And if you get afraid again

I'll be there

We are a family

Like a giant tree

Branching out toward the sky

We are a family

We are so much more

Than just you and I

We are a family

Like a giant tree

Growing stronger, growing wiser

We are growing

free

We need you

We are a family

I'm amazed, Mr Taylor.

Much as I love my daughter,

I never thought

she had much of a voice.

Deena has something better.

She has a quality.

- You make her sound like a product.

- Product. I like that.

Who was the first one

to wear shiny clothes?

- Little Richard.

- That was me, baby! I started that.

You remember that burgundy jacket

I had with the bolt lightning on the back?

Lightning was in glitter.

Glitter's shiny, baby.

- Hey, Jimmy.

...Deena Jones and The Dreams.

Rumours at Abbey Road say

George Martin is keen to work with

the talented trio.

Could they be ready to record

with the Fab Four?

Well, the boys will just have to wait.

These girls are busy

blazing a trail across the globe.

People ask me

how I came up with the sound.

I tell them it's like

making a great sundae.

You start out with two scoops

of ice cream, some sauce,

- and then you put a cherry on top.

- And is Deena the cherry?

Why, Miss Jones is the cherry,

the nuts, the sauce, the cream

- and the banana, too.

- Miss Jones, right here.

We look on with shock and dismay at

the images we're bringing you tonight.

Detroit under siege and in flames

as rioters and looters storm the city.

President Johnson has declared

a state of emergency.

You used to be so light and free

You used to smile just looking at me

Now all you give is jealous hate

Come on, baby

Better lose some weight

Heavy, heavy

You got so heavy, baby

Stop!

Effie, what's going on?

You are still too loud.

- I'm trying, Curtis.

- If you don't ease up, I'll do it for you.

Maybe we should

just come back in the morning.

You know we can't.

The album's already a month late.

Look, I know you're tired.

You're tired, right?

- Can I just get one more?

- Okay.

All right? Okay.

Let's get it right.

Record Heavy, Heavy. Take 30.

Heavy, heavy

You got so heavy, baby

Heavy, heavy

You got so heavy on me

- Where do you think you're going?

- You're a liar, Curtis.

You'd better watch your mouth.

You're sleeping with her

and everyone knows!

Hey, hey, hey, don't go out there!

Burn it up!

- We're black-owned!

- Yeah!

- You all right?

- I don't feel well, Curtis.

CBS's Star Cavalcade

presents the incredible Dreams

singing their latest hit, Heavy, Heavy.

You got so heavy, baby

Heavy, heavy

You got so heavy on me

You used to want nothing from me

You used to say, "Let's both be free"

You used to dance instead of walk

- Tighten up on camera two. Tighten up.

- Move in, camera two.

Heavy, heavy

You got so heavy, baby

Talk, talk, talk

Heavy, heavy

Talk, talk, talk

Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy

Effie, you're going crazy!

Tell me, what have I done?

You stole my dream, Deena,

and you stole my man!

I don't want to hear that kind of talk

out of you...

Don't act like you don't know

what this is about!

Effie, stop screaming.

Everybody can hear you.

I don't care! Let them all hear!

I'm warning you, Effie, you stop

bringing us down! And get back there!

Why, Curtis? You don't need me.

All you care about is her bony ass!

You better back off.

Or what?

I didn't think so.

Love, love me, baby

Love, love me, child

'Cause, baby, baby, baby

You're driving me wild

Listen, listen, listen.

The mirrors got to turn together, guys.

They got to dance.

Mr Taylor? We have

a bigger problem on our hands.

Do I have to remind you

that it's New Year's Eve?

Burt, don't worry about it.

I've got it taken care of.

These people are paying 50 bucks.

They expect to see three girls.

Trust me.

- Curtis, I just don't feel right about this.

- It's done.

Wardrobe needs you first.

We are a family

Like a giant tree

Branching out toward the sky

We are a family

- I'm sorry I'm late.

- Effie.

C.C., sorry I missed rehearsals.

But I went to the doctor,

and I am feeling much better now.

Look, don't try to make it tonight.

What are you talking about, baby?

It's New Year's Eve.

Yeah.

Curtis just stepped out to make a call.

Why don't you go up to your room

and later he'll come up and talk to you?

I said, I'm fine.

Excuse me. I have to get dressed now.

Oh, God, I'm so nervous.

I got all the steps down,

but those harmonies...

C.C., what's going on?

Lorrell, what's going on?

- Effie, Curtis was supposed to...

- Love me.

Curtis was supposed to love me.

There you are, Effie.

I've been looking all over.

I turn my back and find myself

out on the line

You could have warned me

But that would have been too kind

I've been warning you for months

to clean up your act.

You've been late, you've been mean,

giving all kinds of bullshit flack.

That's a lie, that's a lie

It's just I haven't been feeling that well

Effie, please!

Stop excusing yourself.

You've been late, you've been mean,

and getting fatter all the time.

Now, you're lyin', lyin'
