Hairspray Page #9

Synopsis: Tracy Turnblad, an overweight teenager with all the right moves, is obsessed with the Corny Collins Show. Every day after school, she and her best friend Penny run home to watch the show and drool over the hot Link Larkin, much to Tracy's mother Edna's dismay. After one of the stars of the show leaves, Corny Collins holds auditions to see who will be the next person on the Corny Collins show. With all of the help of her friend Seaweed, Tracy makes it on the show, angering the evil dance queen Amber Von Tussle and her mother Velma. Tracy then decides that it's not fair that the black kids can only dance on the Corny Collins Show once a month, and with the help of Seaweed, Link, Penny, Motormouth Maybelle, her father and Edna, she's going to integrate the show.....without denting her 'do!

# Tracy, I'll be yours forever #

# 'Cause I never wanna be #

# Without love #

# Tracy, never set me free #

# No, I ain't lyin' #

# Never set me free #

# Tracy, no, no, no #

# Livin' in the ghetto,

black is everywhere ya go #

# Who'd've thought I'd love a girl #

# Whose skin was white

as winter snow? #

# In my ivory tower #

# Life was just a hostess snack #

# But now I've tasted chocolate #

# And I'm never going back #

# 'Cause without love #

# Life is like a beat

that you can't follow #

# Without love #

# Life is Doris Day at the Apollo #

# Darling, I'll be yours forever #

# 'Cause I never wanna be #

# Without love #

# So, darling, never set me free, no #

# I'm yours forever,

never set me free #

# No, no, no #

# If I'm left without my baby doll #

# I don't know what I'll do #

# Link, I've got to break out #

# So that I can get my hands on you #

# Girl, if I can't touch you,

then I'm gonna lose control #

# Seaweed, you're

my black white knight #

# I've found my blue-eyed soul #

# Sweet freedom is our goal #

# Trace, I wanna kiss ya! #

# Let me out at the next toll! #

# Without love #

# Life is like a prom that won't invite us #

# Without love #

# It's like getting my big break

and laryngitis #

# Without love #

# Life's a 45 when you can't buy it #

# Without love #

# Life is like my mother on a diet #

# Like a week that's only Mondays #

# Only ice cream, never sundaes #

# Like a circle with no center #

# Like a door marked "do not enter" #

# Darling, I'll be yours forever #

# 'Cause I never wanna be #

# Without love #

# Yes, now you've captured me #

# Without love #

# I surrender happily #

# Without love #

# Oh, Seaweed, never set me free #

# No, no, no #

# I ain't lyin' #

# Never set me free #

# No, no, no #

# No, I don't wanna live without #

# Love, love, love #

# Pretty Penny little #

# Darling, you had best believe me #

# Never leave me without love #

Hey, baby, you look like

you could use a stiff one.

And we are out.

Link, you sprayed it right in my face!

Stop! You guys.

Uh, powder.

And we're back.

Uh!

First off, we have the sunny

pride of Highlandtown, Darla.

Hello, Darla.

Miss Teenage Hairspray.

Your vote is for?

This little girl could power...

all of greater downtown Baltimore...

with her energy-Lou Ann.

Who are you voting for?

Lou Ann?

very good, thank you.

All right.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the almost too happy Tammy.

And thank you, Tammy.

Confirmed sighting.

What?

You three:
Outside, now.

We can't go out th-

No, no. No buts. Out, out!

Out! Out, out, out, out!

Whatever you say, Mrs. von Tussle.

Whoo!

Aw, she's too cute, isn't she?

Hold it right there, Tracy.

Looking for someone?

All right, ladies and gentlemen.

- Ha.

- A what?

It was a diversion.

Oh, please, these people are

not capable of a diversion.

It's beyond their mental capacity.

I wouldn't be so sure, velma.

Oh, my God.

What if she's already in the building?

What if she's been here for hours...

and you've locked yourselves out?

What?

- Check the doors!

- Let's go!

It's locked!

They're all locked!

And now a fast girl

who loves to slow dance...

our own smooth-as-silk Shelley.

Ohh!

Keep goin'. Keep goin'. That's it.

Come on.

Put your backs into it, men.

Put your backs into it this time.

Come on, one more time.

One more time.

Come on, come on, come on.

Here's our little dynamic

duo from Conkling Street.

Double your fun

with Noreen and Doreen.

What is with you people?

I mean, how hard is it

to beat down a door?

That hairspray battering ram was heavy.

Heavy?

How could they be heavy, they're...

hollow.

Move it.

Let's get 'em. Let's go.

And, of course...

our three-time

Miss Hairspray champion...

the ever-charming, Amber.

Oh, my God.

You carried her in!

Go!

Ow!

It's locked.

Open it!

Let's give

a final round of applause...
