without clearing it with me.

This is my show, Run.

I run this operation!

I decide who goes on this stage.

You understand that?

Yes, I understand. I'm breaking out.

Where you going? I need you onstage.

Me and you's okay.

They'll tear my place up.

Get away from me, man.

Start the show. I'll take care of it.

Get off me!

You can't be dissin' me in front of people.

- I'll do what I'll do.

- You'll get onstage!

Right now.

Run, Run, Run!

"It's about that time for us to say

"That we're Run-DMC

and Jam Master Jay"

We had a whole lot of superstars...

...on this stage here tonight.

But I want y'all to know one thing.

What?

This is my motherfucking house.

When I say, "Whose house?"

I want y'all to say, "Run's house. "

Whose house?

Run's house.

Whose house?

Run's house.

What's your problem?

Let me tell you something.

You're the problem!

You don't understand. The people

ain't screaming, "Russell DMC."

They're screaming, "Run-DMC."

- I hear you.

- I know you do.

Why don't you slow down?

He's right. You've had enough.

Is this a holiday I don't know about?

Everyone-Tell-Run-

What-The-F***-To-Do Day?

Come on, Run.

- Good night. Talk to you later.

- All right. Good night.

Why you fronting on your brother?

He felt what he did

with Sheila tonight was great.

He wanted you to like him

more than anybody else.

But you had to dis him.

Now everything's f***ed up.

You hurt him. You hurt him bad.

- You finished?

- Yeah, I'm finished.

You want to go to my place because

you expect something to happen.

I can't do it.

I expect something

or I wouldn't say what I did.

You're like my little brother.

Little brother? What do you mean?

Earlier you give me a kiss,

now you're fronting me?

I'm not fronting you.

I like you but just as a friend.

Like a friend?

You see these girls?

I won't listen to this sh*t.

Wait, Run.

Sheila, I'm sorry about this.

Run's got me a little nervous.

I hope I didn't cause any problems

between you two.

Run and I are just friends

and there's no need to apologize.

Whatever is between you

is none of my business.

- I thought you two had...

- You thought wrong, Russell.

I've had enough fun for tonight.

Let me see you home.

It's the least I can do.

I wish you'd come over to Galaxy.

I could get you out there, Run.

Yeah?

You like this?

Limousine, champagne, the works.

I'd get you on MTV, a national tour.

Sponsorship. You name it.

- You could do that?

- Hell, yeah.

- Straight.

- But it's your brother.

I offered him serious money...

...to bring you, Dr. Jeckyll and

Mr. Hyde and Kurtis Blow to Galaxy.

You know what he did?

He turned me down cold.

Real ill.

Now, I'm not trying

to go behind your brother's back.

But a major record company deal

doesn't happen every day.

And it's your career he's playing with.

If I were you,

I'd be a little concerned about it.

I might not be able to make

that same offer tomorrow. Think about it.

Cheers, Run. Love to have you.

Man, you better stop fooling with Aisha.

- Word.

- Word, man.

Her boyfriend's going to do more

than tear them pants off.

Shut up, man. Leave me alone.

What are you doing, man?

What are you doing?

Yo, stop playing, man.

Give me... Just stop.

Give me the paper.

Just cool out, man.

I want to show you something.

- What do you want to show me?

- Right here in this paper.

It says there's a talent contest

held at the Disco Fever.

Check it out.

It says first prize is a recording contract.

Second prize is $5,000

worth of stereo equipment.

I'd sure like to win that stereo equipment.

What's wrong with you?

What've we been trying to do?

Get in the Fever, right?

Check it out! It says all we have to do

is show up and we're in, right?

Right.

Wrong. I ain't doing nothing.

I'm not doing nothing.

- He's a sucker.

- I just got to be a sucker, that's all.

- Real good. What's your name?

- Nayobe.

- It was real good. What do you think?

- She is perfect.

Working? All right, fellas.

Get her name and number for me, too.

No more auditions.

No more auditions today, fellas.

Next week.

I said, no more auditions!

You can't come in here like that, man.

Auditions are over.

Come back next week

and we can work something out.

Box.

What's this?

We're through, all right? No more.

This kid is def.

We'll sign you up.

Y'all were real good.

We'll sign you right now.

All right, call me. Let's go.

- All right.

- You was going to shoot him.

- What's up?

- What'd you do last night?

Heard you was with some skeezes

last night, you got skeezed.

Yo, man, where's Russell?

At the Fever, judging that contest.

He turned down a big contract

from Galaxy Records.

Galaxy Records?

- Where'd you hear that?

- I was with Beiker last night.

He said he offered him

a lot of money for all our groups.

Russell turned him down

without asking any of us.

Get out of here!

- How much?

- That's bullshit!

Let me tell you something. Me, D

and Jay, we got to think for ourself.

If somebody offers something like this,

I'll take it.

Because all this sh*t could end tomorrow,

you know?

I'll see y'all in a little while.

What's up with your man?

- I don't know. I don't believe that.

- He be illin'.

Russ. How's our record company doing?

- What?

- Our record company.

That's what it'll be

if you don't get me my money.

It's short, but I'll get the rest to you

in a couple weeks.

Not weeks. You have days.

Seven. This little bit of change

I'll keep as interest.

Get me my money. All of it.

Or I'll drop you to your knees, Russ.

Put the hands together

and welcome the Beastie Boys.

Let go, man. Come off it!

Stop acting like a little girl, man.

Come on, man. This is our big chance.

What's wrong with you?

I just don't want to do it.

You know we can't do it without you.

Why not?

Because we call it Disco Three, man.

Change the name to Disco Two.

I ain't doing it, man.

You know why I ain't doing it?

Because people will laugh at us.

They won't laugh.

They always laugh at fat people.

Who you calling fat?

Chill.

Forget it. Be cool. Come on, Buff, let's go.

Where you going?

You won't do it, right?

I ain't stopping you.

This is your big chance.

We can't do it without you.

- Why not?

- It's all of us or nothing.

It's all on you. Tell me something.

What's up?

I'll do it.

Rock, sucker.

Let's rock this house!

Ladies and gentlemen, the Disco Three.

Listen, this is Russell. Is Beiker in?

He's not? When he...

Beiker! Good to see you!

Looking good.

That deal you offered me,

I can't do for $20,000, like I said.

But for $100,000, you got Kurtis,

Jeckyll and Hyde, Run, all of them.

You crazy? You been smoking parsley?

I signed Run and D yesterday.

Run! D! Come over here!

What's up?

Didn't you tell your brother

what we did yesterday?

Me and D signed with Beiker.

You can't do that. These are my artists.

Unless you got a signed contract,

you got nothing.

Wait a minute. You did that?

You hit me again, I'll kill you!
