The officer tells him to get a job but he only wants to dance. He decides to go back to New York even though he's not allowed to. He goes to his brother Nicky who has a club. He learns that Nicky and his partner Kaz had a falling out when a rich guy convinced Kaz that he doesn't need Nicky. Nicky told Kaz that he's just using him to get to Kaz's sister who is also a performer who is hoping an agent will take her as a client because she could be sent back to Japan where she is from.

Thank you, guys, for coming out here.

Love you.

I owe this guy everything.

I owe this guy everything.

Club Static's going to be the

hottest club in New York

Here's the tally for tonight.

Oh, and Aya left this for you.

Thanks.

- Hello?

- Yo, D., this is me, man.

Hey, Rene, what's up?

Your P.O. won't stop snooping around.

Whatever you're doing

you better do it quick.

You're digging yourself in a hole

getting deeper every minute.

- Okay, man, all right.

- Peace.

We're off 15%. But it really hit us in VIP.

Maybe it was just a slow night.

Back-to-back slow nights all

because of that damn video.

Nick, what are you going to do?

Hey.

Nick, what?

Hey, can we talk?

You got a lot of nerve, man.

You disappear for 4 days

and you blow back up in here.

Well, I'm here now, okay.

It's too late. I got bigger problems.

All right, then, let me help.

Put me to work.

Fine. Whatever. Bobby!

You got another back to use.

- No, not that.

- Well, then what?

What I do.

Look, man, I told you that New Orleans

thing ain't gonna cut it down here-

You said it.

You want this club to feel fresh and new.

Then mix it up.

Come on, man, I can do this.

Just give me a shot.

All right. We'll call it an audition.

You'll be outside tonight.

Inside.

Inside and onstage.

You got one shot.

One dance.

Don't blow it.

I'm going to want the house band, too.

Raphael's going to need your camera tonight.

And then he had an idea

for a routine and it wasn't bad.

So maybe we should try it out sometime.

You're supposed to be working. You've been

talking about this guy since I walked in.

- No, I haven't.

- Yes, you have.

Are you sure about this,

with everything that's going on?

I know. It makes no sense.

You really do like him.

And you never like anybody.

Okay. Okay. Most guys just take, you know.

They want to control me.

- Like Michael.

- And Kaz.

Plus I'm always busy.

I don't have time for a guy.

But this one, Donny?

I want to make time for him.

Well, don't worry.

You've only known him a few days.

It won't last. He's a guy.

Where is he? Is he going to do this or not?

Hey, can I borrow these?

- Yeah, no problem.

- Thanks.

All right, people,

give it up for New Orleans in Da House!

Excuse me.

Get it started!

4 on the floor.

Yeah, come on!

Come on, get up here.

All the hoofers, let's go.

Hey! Let's go, come on, baby!

That's right.

That's my brother! That's my brother!

That's my brother!

Woo! All right, well, this is it.

Make yourself at home.

- Do you want a drink?

- No. I'm okay.

We've got pretty good tap water in there.

No.

I'm sorry it's such a mess.

I haven't really been staying here much.

I was so proud of you tonight.

Thanks.

I probably wouldn't have done it

if it hadn't been for you.

Would you miss me

if I had to go back to Japan?

More than you know.

Look and see

Through the people

I'm waiting patiently

Let's break free

Together to the music and breathe

You found me

You found me

In the middle of a crowd

You catch me

You catch me

In the bass and the sound of my heart

Oh, it's moving for you

You found me

You found me

In the middle of a crowd

You catch me. You catch me

In the bass and the sound of my heart

It's moving for you

I want to feel you

I want to feel you

Breathe

Oh. Come and be with me

Come and be with me

Ooh, ooh. Oh you found me. You found me

In the middle of a crowd

You catch me

You catch me

In the bass and sound of my heart

It's moving for you

Yo, yo, Donny!

Come get some breakfast over here, man.

Just whipped up some grillades,

fried some beignets.

Oh wow, okay.

Now I know why you danced

like you had a hard on.

Just wait here, okay?

- Come on, man, don't O.D. it.

- O.D.it?

What the hell are you thinking, man?

Kaz will come after you.

- You guys created this together, man-

- Screw him!

It's you and me now.

We're back. And all those dreams

that we thought died,

us running our own joint, hiring and firing,

making our own rules,

- it can happen. It's happening now.

- No, man, that's you, Nick.

That's always been about you.

You want to dance now, fine.

There. You just got paid to dance.

Next shift is tonight at 10.

Just give up the girl.

Not a chance.

Does she know?

Huh? Does she know you quit

everything you ever start?

And when you think you have it,

you hold it for 5 seconds and then

you let it go like you always do?

- We're out.

- We? Oh, it's we now?

- Get back here!

- I said we're out!

I'm done.

- What's going on?

- Come on.

Donny, wait a second.

Nick?

Nick!

- Is it done?

- What?

You saw them.

She spent the night.

I said, is it done?

You can't do this now.

Look, if you won't do it

I'll hire somebody that will.

- 10 minutes. It's still uploading.

- Thank you

- I can't believe he talked to you that way.

- Forget it. That's Nick.

Forget it?

Did you see the way he looked at me?

- So much hate in his eyes.

- Listen, Aya, forget it. All right?

- It's me and you now.

- Then what?

He's your brother, Kaz is mine.

We can't change that.

Listen, I just told my brother

to shove it right there in front of you.

Okay, if it wasn't for him, growing up,

I'd get my ass kicked

3 times a week instead of twice.

- I'm feeling this, too.

- So you think I'm not?

- You didn't answer my calls.

- Sorry. I had my phone off.

What?

What's going on?

Speak English, already. Please.

- Let's go, Aya. Now.

- I'll call you later, okay?

Taxi!

- I think we got it. We'll be in touch.

- Okay, thanks.

They found the car ditched in an alley.

It had been stolen.

- Was anyone hurt?

- Luckily, no.

Yeah, but we could still get sued.

And the police recommend

that we shut down for the weekend.

- If things are that serious-

- Things are that serious.

I got clients in from out of town.

This is bad for business.

- This is bad for my investment.

- I'll handle Nick, okay?

Nick!?

Look, you've had your chance.

I'm taking care of it.

- I'm relieving you of running Oto.

- What?

- This is my club.

- This is our club.

And I own 51 percent.

- You can't do that!

- I can do that.

After last night we'll be lucky

to draw half capacity.

Stay on as a creative advisor, but you're

through with the day-to-day operations.

I'm calling the shots now.

What did you say to me?

What did he say to me?

Let him stay.

I want you to see this.

Hey, guys, look at the headache

that was going on at Oto's last night.

You want fun without the drama?

Check it out at Static.

- I didn't know.

- Why would we believe a word you say?

I don't care what you believe, Kaz.

Well, after all the

lies your brother told?

You stole from him.

All right?

You gonna step to me?

Screw you.

Break his legs!

- He didn't do it!

- Out back!

- Get off!

- I was with him all night!

He didn't do it, okay.

Donny, I think you should go.

Aya.

Please.

Okay.

You back?

There's a slot open at 12 if you want it.

Somebody could have been killed.
