Saturday Night Fever Page #7

Listen, everyone's too shocked

and disgraced.

A family raises a priest,

they think

they've scored points in heaven,

- and now they're gonna lose them.

- Hey, Frank. How you doing?

Okay. We better get a move on.

I gotta pick some people on the way.

Okay. Listen, we gotta keep in touch.

Yeah. You gonna like

this settlement house?

What do you think?

- It'll do until I figure out my next move.

- Yeah.

- What about you?

- What about me?

Are you gonna do something

with your dancing, Tony?

I don't know.

People ask me all the time.

But I don't know, I mean, you know,

I feel like my whole life, right,

I've been told I'm the no-good

in the family and that...

Tony, the only way you're gonna survive

is to do what you think is right,

not what they keep trying

to jam you into.

You let them do that and you're

gonna end up nothing but miserable.

Huh?

- Hey, have a good trip, all right?

- Yeah.

I left you something in your room.

- What did you leave me?

- A souvenir.

Money?

Leave me money.

So, what are you standing there for?

How come you wasn't there

Saturday night?

I didn't say I was gonna be there

Saturday night.

- The f*** you didn't.

- I said maybe. Maybe's a maybe.

I didn't think you'd go

and get upset about it.

Oh, forget upset. I'm not upset.

It's just that we needed the practice.

I mean, you know,

you should've been there.

All right, right, let's practice then.

We can't.

I didn't bring the records 'cause

I didn't think you was gonna be here.

Yeah? So what did you come for, huh?

- Stugats. You know "stugats"?

- Yeah, I know "stugats".

All right, we'll use some of this stuff.

"If you're not of a mind to break up..."

What's up?

We've been waiting, man.

Pete said you was practicing, you know.

Hey, Tony, we were cruising

you know who. Looking good.

Not now. Don't talk about it now.

Talk about it later.

Stephanie, this is Joey,

this is Double J, this is Bobby C.

- How you doing, Stephanie?

- How do you do?

- You a dancer?

- Yeah.

- You hungry?

- Yeah.

What do you wanna eat, huh?

- I'm gonna change and then...

- All right.

What maracas. She's got maracas.

She's got nice tits.

It's like,

I'm gonna be traveling, you know.

Promotional tours

with authors and performers.

Of course, I'm gonna hate

to leave Manhattan, even briefly.

There's certain ballets and concerts

I'm just gonna have to miss.

Tell them about the people

who come into the office.

That's what they wanna hear.

Tell them that.

Oh, you know who came in today?

This guy, David Bowie.

- He comes in, has this Astrakhan coat...

- He's a fagot.

- He's a half-fagot, man.

- Hey, relax! Come on. Sit down.

You mean, he's a bisexual.

Yeah, he swings both ways.

Men and boys.

- What's so funny?

- Oh yeah?

Well, you know who came in today?

Joe Namath. You know Joe Namath?

He comes in

and he wants some coffee,

so I brought him coffee.

And then he asked me to sit down,

have some coffee with him.

You had coffee with Joe Namath?

Yeah, that's right.

We were talking a little bit.

He wanted to know

what it was like to be 21.

I told him I didn't know

'cause I was just 20.

- Yeah, what else?

- That's all.

Ain't that enough?

Hey, don't you never chew, Tony?

Don't you never chew?

Hey, look, when my mother dies,

I'll give you the job, all right?

You know what's going

down your throat, man?

Big chunks of hamburger, you know.

Big gobs, like dog food,

dog friskies, dog yummies.

You know something, Joey?

He's gonna turn into a dog.

Stephanie, listen,

can I talk to you for a second?

I was listening

to what you said in there before,

and you seem to know a lot of people,

and a lot of places and a lot of things.

I got a friend of mine, you know,

he's a very good friend of mine

and he got a girl pregnant.

He got a girl pregnant,

and I wanted to know

if you had to make a choice

between getting an abortion

and have to get married to somebody,

what would you do?

Well, who would I have to marry?

You'd have to marry me.

You'd have to marry me. Yeah.

I think I'd get an abortion.

Hey, so long, Tony.

It's very nice meeting you.

So, what'd you guys think of her?

Hey, Tony, I liked her.

I thought she was nice. I liked her a lot.

She's a snotty b*tch, man.

She's cool.

You just gotta get to know her, that's all.

Hey, Ton, did you f*** her, yet?

- What do you think?

- I don't think so.

You know, you guys got a lot

of growing up to do, you know that?

A lot of growing up. You're babies.

Yeah.

Hey, Mr. Fusco, look,

I need the afternoon off.

Sam's out. Harold's sick.

Here, take these.

- But I gotta, Mr. Fusco.

- Sorry, Tony.

Look, all I'm asking for

is one afternoon off.

I've been here almost eight months.

I didn't miss a day yet!

- Not today, Tony.

- Oh, come on, Mr. Fusco.

Some of those old farts,

they miss three, four days at a time,

you don't say nothing to them.

Hey, cool off.

Look, I got to have the afternoon off.

I'm taking it.

- You do, you're fired.

- I'm doing it.

- Then you're fired!

- Then f*** you, a**hole!

And the f*** horse you rode in on.

- F***ing cocksucker a**hole!

- Tony.

Tony, I don't wanna marry Pauline.

I don't give a f*** about this c*nt.

- So, don't marry her!

- Tony, I gotta marry her!

F*** it. She won't get the abortion.

- Everyone says I gotta marry her, Tony.

- Who says that?

Oh, f***, her f***ing parents,

my f***ing parents.

The f***ing priest on the corner.

Her f***ing high school

guidance counselor.

Tony, I'm paralyzed.

I got no more control.

I mean, you and me, Tony,

we've been friends for so long.

I mean, I'm hurting.

Sh*t! You're always together.

And I'm always f***ing up,

and you're always all right. You know?

I... Oh, come on.

Everybody fucks up. Really.

- Don't worry about nothing.

- You know, you're great.

I'm in a terrible rush.

I hate to leave you like this.

You got no idea

how much I appreciate this.

I mean, this car's very important

for me today, you know?

- Will you call me tonight?

- Yeah, I'll call you.

Don't worry about nothing, all right?

Take care.

- I'll talk to you later then?

- Yeah.

- Call me tonight, right?

- Yeah.

You're gonna call me tonight?

You know, Stephanie, this got me fired.

- What?

- This got me fired.

You know, you couldn't do it on Sunday,

so, my boss, he fired me.

Well, I just wanted

to get everything in, you know,

so I could start fixing up

when I move in on Saturday.

Yeah.

Nobody bitched at my office.

I got the whole day off.

Hey, I'm sorry.

Oh, it's all right. No problem.

No big deal. I can handle it.

Yeah, come on in.

Now, put that over here.

Hey!

I thought you were

gonna be out of town.

I postponed the trip.

Jay, this is Tony Manero. He's a friend.

- Tony, this is Jay Langhart.

- Unspecified status.

How do you do?

Well, I've decided to leave you

all the furniture.

What, are you kidding?

You're not gonna take any of this stuff?

No, I'm gonna start fresh. What the hell,
