The Forbidden Dance Page #5

- You two were the best out there.

- You guys were definitely the best.

Also, I'm sorry about the other night.

Yeah, I'm sorry too, Nisa.

I acted like a real jerk

and there's no excuse for it.

But I am sorry, Nisa,

if that means anything.

Well, your pain was bigger than mine.

- I knew you had it in you.

- I wasn't so sure.

- Come on, let's not get all teary- eyed.

- What about you? Aren't you sorry?

- Who, me?

- Yeah. You were there too.

That wasn't me, man.

That was my evil twin.

- How about a toast?

- All right.

- Jason? Nisa?

- We'll pass.

You guys aren't gonna drink with us?

No. We gotta do this again

tomorrow. Besides, I'm driving.

Jason, take it with you.

All right.

- Later, guys.

- You two take care.

You take good care

of that little princess, okay, dude?

- What did I say?

- Jason! Jason!

There's a key under the mat.

I'll be home late.

Thank you for tonight, Jason.

For you, my friend.

Just kidding. Here.

Thanks a lot.

Well, how do you like my theater?

Beautiful, isn't it?

Do you know...

...that at one time

it was considered to be...

...the most famous nightclub...

...worldwide?

All the greats and near greats

of entertainment...

...appeared here, one time or another,

during the course of their career.

Oh, well.

Like all beauty, it fades.

It's been closed now

for over three years.

But I've been thinking

of reopening it.

How would you like to star for me...

...right here on this stage?

Lovely to hear your voice again,

Your Highness.

But do you think you could do that

in English?

Music.

- I thought you liked this kind of music.

- It is you I do not like.

- What do you want?

- You...

- ...to audition.

- I will never dance for you.

Oh, yes, you will, princess.

Or you may never see your tribe

again. I got you a little gift here.

Look familiar?

Show me the Lambada.

All right, Your Highness...

...let's see what you've got.

The stage is all yours.

Impress me.

You call that rhythm?

You'll never see Broadway, princess.

You want to see the Lambada?

I'll show you the Lambada.

My shoes!

No, no, no. This way.

Wait, wait, let me help you.

All right.

I got the mandate to set a jailbreak

I want the radicals to get a fair shake

I got the mandate

And now I feel great

I wouldn't be surprised

If people celebrate

I got the mandate

To set the job straight

And when the deed's done

I'm gonna legislate

I got eyes in the back of my head

And see

I never took a second step

I didn't need

But I can take the static

When a fanatic is looking for a piece

Of the American dream

It's automatic

It's automatic

While justice is vacationing

I got to look out for the underling

It's automatic

Where the hell are this

Jason and Nisa?

Susan, listen up.

The Lambada dancers are missing.

No, I'm not kidding.

Look, just get the Kid to fill.

I don't know for how long. This is

an emergency. Just get him to fill.

- Are you Jason and Nisa?

- Sorry we're late.

What the hell happened to you two?

- I just twisted my ankle a little.

- Right.

I'm sorry, man, but there's just

no way you can dance on that.

- Yes, I can.

- We have to dance.

- Not on this show.

- I'm telling you, I can do it.

- Please.

- Look, I'm sorry, kid...

...but you need a doctor for that.

I'm sorry.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

And now, music lovers, I give you...

...Miss Cory Daye, singing our new hit

song, courtesy of Columbia Records:

"It's a Horror."

It's a horror

You know my sole intention

Was to be with you

You know my sole intention

Was to follow through

I'm sure I needn't mention

That my full attention

Was forever centered on you

You know it's my contention

That you're missing screws

Father.

Joa, his ankle.

Excuse me. I'm running this show,

and the audience stays out front.

- Now, who the hell is this guy?

- He's Jason's chiropractor.

Right. And I'm the Virgin Mary.

Now, what is going on here?

Don't worry. He knows

what he's doing. Right?

You know it's my contention

That you're missing screws

You treat a fine invention

With an attitude

You know it's my contention

That your hypertension

Is a mere extension of you

It was my sole intention

It was my sole intention

It was my sole intention

To be the center of you

It was my sole intention

Thank you, Cory. Cory Daye.

I know we promised

we were gonna see a Lambada...

...but our dance couple isn't gonna

be able to make it, I'm afraid.

That's right. That's right.

Blame it on the Kid.

Your injury is serious.

To restore your ankle even for a little

time requires dangerous medicine.

How dangerous?

Don't worry, you're young and healthy.

In the jungle Joa could do more...

- ...but here- -

- Nisa, how dangerous?

Holy sh*t!

Oh, my God!

All right, all right.

I have good news for you. While we

were away for that commercial break...

...I got word that the dancers are okay.

Give it up! Give it up!

So we will have Lambada.

So let's give a big hand to Nisa and

Jason doing the forbidden dance:

Lambada!

Now he's gone away

Only man who's ever made me cry

Not so far away

But far enough to make me wanna die

Crying over me is what he's gonna be

When he's hit by the need of my love

Crying he will be

When he's dreaming of me

And decides that he needs

What once was

All the memories

Follow me wherever I may go

Haunting melodies

Playing in the night to let me know

Dance along with me

With the sun and the sea

Only love makes one feel

So sublime

Do a dance with me

To a love fantasy

That for one precious moment

Was mine

Dance along with me

Mr. Sun, Mr. Sea

Keep the feeling so strong

And so tender

Do a dance with me

To a love fantasy

Just for one day of total surrender

All right. Where in the world

did you learn those moves, my man?

- Nisa taught me everything I know.

- Nisa.

- That's an unusual name.

- You like?

- I love it.

- It means "princess of the forest."

My father, he's the king of our tribe.

He chose it for me.

- Hold it. Your father is a king?

- Yes, would you like to meet him?

I never say no to meeting a king.

Sure.

Is this a happening show or what?

Now we got a king.

"Kid meets King." I like that.

It's an honor, Your Majesty.

That's the idea.

I could've used two of you kings

last night on a poker game.

I'm sorry, Mr. Kid Creole, but we must

return to our home in the jungle...

- ...while it still exists.

- You live in the jungle?

In the rain forest along the Amazon.

But our home is being destroyed.

That is why we have come

to your country.

We need help to stop the destruction.

Nisa and her people are being driven

from their homeland...

...by the Petramco Corporation.

The Petramco we find

on the supermarket shelves?

That's the one. We buy products

they make every day.

Not me. Not anymore.

The rain forest is too important.

I say, if Petramco is destroying

the rain forest, then...

...we should just boycott their ass.
