First Kid Page #7

Synopsis: Luke Davenport is the thirteen-year-old son of Paul Davenport, the President of the United States, and first lady Linda Davenport. Ill tempered Agent Woods is the secret service agent in charge of Luke. Woods is fired after mistreating Luke in front of the press. Woods is then replaced by former boxer Sam Simms, who won a boxing title in 1977. Sam is eager to take the job - even though no one else wants it. Everyone thinks that Luke is just a brat when the only thing Luke wants is to just fit in and be like every other kid at his school, the Georgetown Academy. Sam almost gets fired when Luke gets decked at school by school bully Rob MacArthur. This is when Sam decides to use his boxing expertise to teach Luke how to fight. Luke has his eyes on class-mate Katie Warren, but so does Rob. Katie agrees to go with Luke to an upcoming school dance, so Sam teaches Luke how to dance. Rob is also at the dance, but this time when Rob tries to deck Luke, Luke turns the tables and decks Rob. Sam i

Oh, we do a lot of thin--

you know, stuff.

Stuff?

- You know. Stuff.

- Stuff.

I don't know.

I'll look for it, Bill.

Could you

check again for me, Paul?

That saxophone really

means a lot to me.

I could swear

I left it in the closet.

Bill, we'll look for it.

I'll call ya back.

I gotta go.

Oh, oh!

Check under the bed.

Yup. Bye-bye.

- Best to Hillary.

- Thank you.

Simms.

Come on in.

I wanted to thank you.

Luke's really

doing great.

What do you do

together, anyway?

Stuff.

Stuff. Yeah, that's

what he said, too.

Stuff. Well,

whatever stuff you do,

it's got to be

good stuff,

'cause it's working,

so... thanks a lot.

Thank you, sir.

You're welcome.

It was a pleasure,

congressman.

Thank you very much.

Nice seeing you.

- How you doing?

- Hi.

Hey! Do you know

who you are?

Yes. I know who I--

Oh! Oh!

Sonny Bono.

Oh, I love you,

man.

Babe is

my favorite song.

I got you,

babe--

You always sitting

there, rock--

That was

a long time ago.

I don't sing anymore.

I'm a congressman.

You're great!

You're great!

Thank you very much.

I'm on my way to see

the president

of the United States.

I'll see you, now.

Thank you very--

Good-bye.

Got you, babe

I--I don't sing

anymore.

President

of the United States.

I'll see you later.

There he is...

The president

of the United States.

It's Sonny Bono!

Sonny Bono!

Did you see that,

man?

I can't believe

you did that.

Hey, they said

I could go to the dance!

- Really?

- Really?

Yes, really!

Cool, man.

All you gotta do now

is ask Katie out.

I'll just--

I'll just see her there.

How come

you can't ask her?

I don't know.

I just can't.

Testing.

Can you hear me?

Don't be nervous.

It'll be all right,

'cause I'm with you,

all right?

Cool, man.

Don't hyperventilate.

Look at me. This is

what we're gonna do.

Go over there.

I want you to

be calm, be cool.

Keep away from

her right side.

Don't let her see

the ear piece.

Remember now...

Be cool.

Go get 'em, Luke.

I'm right here

with you.

He's doin' good.

But he's not doing

anything yet, sir.

He's just walking.

You're lookin' good.

Lookin' good.

Go ahead, boy.

What's he doing?

Don't just stand there.

Say hello.

Hello!

Great. Make

the girl go deaf.

They love that.

We're in big trouble.

We're in big trouble.

What?

You're losin' him.

All right. Just...

Just... how are you?

Fine, I--

No, not... not to me.

Ask her how she's doing.

How are you?

Fine.

Doing OK.

Hang in there.

Now ask her

about the party.

How was your party?

It was fun.

Until the boys

beat up the mascot.

This is

very important, Luke.

Tell her

you want the names

of all the boys

involved--

no, we--

what?

We--I mean...

No!

They beat up the mascot?

Did you want

something, Luke?

I wanted to say...

Say hi. Hi!

Hi.

OK.

Ask her if she's

going to the dance.

You're not going

to the dance tomorrow,

are you?

I don't know.

Nobody's asked me yet.

Nobody I wanna go with,

anyway.

Oh, yes!

Yes! Yes!

Yes!

Now ask her...

No, no, no. Tell her

that you're not going

to the dance

with anybody either.

I don't have

anyone to go with,

either.

Have you asked anyone?

Oh, she is coy.

These kids, they watch

too many videos.

They're growing up

too fast!

Don't worry.

Lucky for you,

you're in expert hands.

I'll get you through this.

Ask her who she wants

to go to the dance with.

Who do you want

to go to the dance with?

Luke, if you want

to ask me, just ask me.

Just ask her.

Do you want to go

to the dance with me?

OK.

Yes!

Yes!

OK.

See-- see ya there.

Bye.

She said yes!

My life

is in a serious mess

my baby's gone,

there's heavy mental stress

I never knew love,

but I know it now

I wanna give her

my heart

but how? How?

Thank you guys

for watching.

Yes, yeah, I--

I definitely

have to say I'm...

Definitely the most powerful

kid in the universe.

Just a kiss

just a kiss

whoo!

whoo!

What's wrong with you?

I'm not going

to the dance.

Say what?

Mr. "My mama said

I can go to the dance!

Really!

I'm goin' to the dance!"

What happened?

I...

I--who?

I can't dance.

I said

I can't dance.

Man, what do you mean

you don't know

how to dance?

You just need to get in touch

with your inner dance self.

Do you watch videos?

Well, show me something,

Something you've seen

in the video.

Just imitate that.

You can do it--

you have to believe

in yourself, Luke.

You can dance!

Say it to yourself.

"I can dance." Try it.

All right.

Yeah

What are you doing?

Simms!

You were supposed

to catch me.

Man, you're watching

way too much MTV.

Get up here.

Man, you're gonna

scare somebody

doing that at the dance.

The main thing is to be smooth

even if you can't dance.

Be smooth, find a beat,

and go to the middle

of the dance floor

so nobody can see what you're

doing from the waist down.

If you couldn't see me,

I'd be doing this.

I ain't doin' nothing,

but it looks good.

OK? Here we go.

Find your beat,

just like you're boxing.

OK, side to side.

It's a very basic move,

but it looks good.

You got your side-to-side move.

Bite your lip.

It looks like you're doing a lot

more than what you're doin'.

What do you think?

What is it called?

Little pelvic thrust.

Try this.

Oh, they like that, man.

They won't say nothin'

but they'll smile.

There you go, man.

All right! There it is!

Bite that lip now!

This is cool!

Do the pelvis!

Do the pelvic move!

Yeah.

Only one.

Just one per song.

Yeah. Sorry.

Point at people

like you know 'em.

What's up? What's up?

There you go. Yeah!

Just--just don't

jump around, now.

Yeah, this is cool.

This is good.

All right, man. See,

you're a dancing fool, man!

Look at that! Talking about

you can't dance.

You got it!

There you go.

Side to side.

Do you wanna go

to the land of funk?

funk

funk

to the land of funk

funk

funk

funk

I don't know, chief.

Well, sir?

Get the bomb squad.

Now this move's so funky,

hey, what do you think?

what is it called,

it's called a lakeside stank

Hey, how you doin', sir?

Practicing dance steps here.

Guys, I have bad news.

The trip to the dance

has been cancelled.

- Why?

- Why?

There's a possible code 4

until further notice.

But my dad said

I could go.

I'm not grounded

anymore!

I'm sorry. I can't allow

you off the grounds.

That's just great!

Hey, hey!

Hold it. Now hold it, hold it.

Why not, sir?

There's an abandoned duffle bag

on the sidewalk

outside the main entrance.

Oh, come on. That happens,

what, 50 times a day.

Probably belongs

to a tourist.

The bomb squad

is investigating it.

You have to let this boy

go to the dance, sir.

Simms... I don't

make the rules

and I don't break

the rules.

I'm sorry, Luke.

There'll be other dances.

Put this on.

We're goin' to the dance.

Up in my Chrysler
