So did you.

- Your wife seems like
a very decent person.
Yeah.
She fooled me too.
Now, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, man.
Come on. Enough.
- I'm trying to keep you
from throwing your life away.
- Why?
I'm through livin'
in a middle-class prison.
You don't know anything
about livin' in prison.
I'll... I'll... I'll be good.
I promise.

- Let's just go downstairs.
[Snickers]
I never met
anybody like you.

Are we having a good time?

Okay. Well, we found her this time,
so let's try this again, okay?
Let's give a nice,
warm round of applause...

Sweet dreams
are made of this
Who am I to disagree
I travel the world
and the seven seas
Everybody's
lookin' for somethin'
Some of them
want to use you
Some of them want
to get used by you
Some of them
want to abuse you
Some of them
want to be abused
[Crowd Cheering]

All the things
I never did...

[Cheering,
Applause]
Her name was Lola
She was a showgirl
With yellow feathers
in her hair
And her dress
cut down to there
She would merengue
and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Across the crowded floor
They worked from 8 till 4
They were young
and they had each other
- Who could ask for more
- At the Copa
At the Copa
Copacabana
The hottest spot
north of Havana
At the Copa
Copacabana
Music and dancing
were always the fashion
At the Copa
Don't fall in love
Copacabana
Copacabana
Copacabana
[Cheering,
Applause, Whistling]
All right, ladies and gentlemen.
It is sure gonna be tough
to pick a winner tonight.
Okay, our next contestant,
Mr. Reggie Kane.
[Applause]
What tune can I spin
for you tonight, Mr. Kane?
I'm gonna make
my own music tonight, ma'am.
This song is for
a friend of mine.
He taught me
to drive.
If I leave here tomorrow
For I must be
travelin' on now
'Cause there's too many places
I've got to see
For if I stay here
With you now
Things just couldn't be
the same
'Cause I'm as free
As a bird now
And this bird
you cannot change
Oh-oh
And this bird
you cannot change
Lord knows
I can't change
Lord knows
[Laughing]
I can't change
[Audience Gasps, Screams]
[Todd]
No! Reggie! Reggie!
[Groaning]
[Panting]
And they say our society
has lost its fnesse.
[Laughing]
Oh, my God. Man...
Go home.
May I sit?
Be my guest.
Thought you
might like something.
Brought you
something else.
[Snickers]
I can't go back
to who I was.
I'm different now.
I sing.
I'm sorry
about your friend.
You must have really
cared about him.
[Sighs]
I know I haven't
said this in a long time,
but I love you
very much.
Oh, she may be weary
And young girls
they do get wearied
Wearing that same old
shaggy dress
But when she
gets weary
Try a little tenderness
- Hey.
- Hi.
How ya doin'?
- I can't believe what happened
last night.
- I know.
- Somebody said he was
an escaped convict or something.
- Mornin'.
- All paid up.
- I just don't believe that.
He seemed so sweet,
and he sang so beautifully.
Yeah. I never heard
" Free Bird" sung like that.
- Is that yours?
- Yeah.
- Nice paint job.
- Thanks.
- [Suzi] There you are.
- Hey, you all ready to go?
Let's get the show on the road.
California, here I come.
honey?
- No, I'm just sad.
- Yeah, I know.
Well, if it's of any interest, there's
a $2,000 purse in Sparks, Nevada.
Nevada? Nevada's
on the way to California.
Just a slight detour.
What do you say?
- How could I refuse?
- [Chuckling]
Listen, it was really great
meetin' you guys.
Hey, would you like
to share our cab?
Why not?
You know, I already know
the answer to this, but I'm
gonna ask the question anyway.
Fire away.
I have 800,000
frequent flier miles...
that I never
have been able to use.
You don't by any chance
accept them for travel?
Of course we do.
Oh.
Well.
And they say that our society
has lost its fnesse.
Each day
through my window
I watch him
as he passes by
And I say to myself
I'm so lucky
he's so fly
To have a boy like him
Is truly
a dream come true
Out of all
the girlies in the world
He belongs to you
But it was just
my imagination
Runnin'away with me
Tell you
it was just my imagination
Runnin'away with me
Soon we'll be married
And raise a family
Oh, yeah
Have a cozy little crib
in the country
With two children
maybe three
I tell you I
Can visualize it all, baby
Ooh
It couldn't be a dream
'Cause too real
it all seems
Oh-oh, oh, oh
But it was just
my imagination
Ooh, once again, yeah
- Runnin'away with me
- Running away with me
- Tell you it was just my imagination
- Running away
Runnin'away with me
Me, yeah, yeah
Hoo
Every night
on my knees I pray
Dear Lord
Hear my plea, yeah
Don't ever let another
take his love from me
Or I will surely die
- Her love is
- Heavenly
When your arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody
- But in reality
- Ooh
He doesn't even know me
- Just my imagination
