The Last Days of Disco Page #2

- Don't worry about it. So what?

- So stupid.

I'm sure it's Jimmy.

I think it's much better to wait

until things happen naturally.

- Forcing things never works.

- That's not true.

Forcing things usually works beautifully.

You know, even if he's in advertising,

someone will want him.

I just think it's so important

that we be in control of our own destinies.

It doesn't matter.

Marshall's a really good guy.

He doesn't really care

about this kind of stuff.

- I can't believe it.

- He is the greatest dancer

Uh, excuse me.

Has anyone ever told you you look

just like Kate Preston's brother Rod?

- Who?

- Rod Preston.

- Do you know him?

- Uh, no.

[ Chuckles ]

Have you ever noticed...

how people who look just alike

never seem to know each other?

- [ Song Changes]

- Huh.

- Hi.

- Hey. How you been?

Fine. How are you?

- He's really depressed.

- God, isn't this place great?

It's fantastic. I love it.

- I really like this song.

- Yeah.

Do you like to dance?

- W-W-Would you?

- Sure.

Great. Should we all go?

L-I think he's too depressed to dance.

Hey, Jimmy. We're gonna dance.

Come on.

I'm - I'm too depressed to dance.

Go ahead.

Wrapped in your arms

is where I want to be

- I want to be,

- Want to be

- What's wrong?

- Absolute disaster.

- What?

- I had to get some clients into the club...

so I gave the boss my coat to wear.

Here. Wear this.

[ Scoffs ]

It was really stupid.

I can't believe what an idiot I am.

- Why? Your coat's nice.

- Well, that's just it. It is nice.

But this guy's - Marshall's -

clothes are hideous.

It's famous. But to give him my coat

to put over them - so stupid.

It's just really stupid.

It's not stupid.

The club is really hard to get into.

It was unbelievably, incredibly dumb.

He's a really nice guy,

and I insulted him.

And this nice guy that I stupidly insulted

is basically my boss.

God! It was really stupid.

I guess you're right.

It was pretty stupid.

So why should I be ashamed

Uh, can I get you a drink?

Yeah. Thanks.

If we lose our love, it's a shame

Ooh, wouldn't want to live with the pain

Gonna stay fore very,

[ Continues, Faint]

Des, you're a wonderful man.

[ Sniffles ]

Take care of yourself, Des.

[ Continues, Faint]

Okay, Van. What's up?

- Get that ad guy friend of yours out of there.

- [ Woman] Van.

What do you mean?

When I turned him away

with a group of his clients...

he snuck around back,

where you let them in.

I didn't let 'em in.

They're inside.

Rick just saw them.

- Is this really important?

- I'm not out here on jerk patrol...

just so that you can

let them in the back way.

Bernie promised me he'd fire you

if that guy's in the club.

I can't believe that.

You made Bernie promise to fire me?

You really think Bernie keeps his promises?

[ Continues]

A w, freak out,

Le Freak, dest chm

Freak out

A w, freak out,

Le Freak, dest chm

- I need to see Bernie.

- [ Man ] Bernie is not around.

He's pretty mad, Des. Van told him

you were letting people in the back again.

When you let people in the back,

is a cover being charged?

- 'Cause that money should be coming here. - Of

course we're not charging a cover in the back. God.

Big fun to be had by everyone

It's up to you

It surely can be done

Bernie?

This thing that Van is saying about you promising

to fire me if Jimmy Steinway's in the club -

- That isn't true, is it?

- No, it's true. I can confirm that.

- This Jimmy Steinway I don't want in the club.

- Why?

- Allow us

- Come here.

We'll show you the way

Aw, freak out;

Le Freak, dest chm

You promised to quit

letting friends in the back.

No. You said we could still

let in people from the list.

Don't contradict me, Des.

I don't want a lot of ad people in the club...

particularly not this guy.

Well, I didn't let him in.

If Van didn't either, then he's not in the club.

Did I ever tell you my first job

was in advertising at Y&R?

In those days, the big thing

was to be nice to everybody -

to the secretaries,

to the media department...

to the art director, to the client.

- Well, I don't think it's that way now.

- I don't care.

I don't want that element in the club.

Jimmy is, like, my best friend.

And you've been a good friend to him, Des...

but this Jimmy is not a good friend to you.

He's out of control.

He's an egomaniac.

- Jimmy.

- Where were you? What a nightmare.

Listen. I don't how you got in,

but you better go.

- What?

- This way.

- You're asking me to leave?

- Van has gone crazy.

He made Bernie promise to fire me

if he found you here.

Bernie hates ad agency people.

It's nuts.

I can't believe it.

That's like something out of the Nazis.

Come on. I will get you back on the list,

but tonight it's best if you go.

- Could I at least go tell my client that I've gotta go?

- No.

Please.

Tell him I got ejected.

His name is Hap.

- Okay.

- And that's for this irritating girl...

who's occupying my booth - Alice.

[ Des]

She's irritating? I thought she seemed nice.

- [Jimmy] You know her?

- Well, she's been here two times before.

- How is she irritating?

- I can't believe it.

- You're really gonna throw me out?

- Yeah.

[ Song Changes]

Thanks, Des.

You've really been a good friend to me.

[ Continues]

Hey. What happened?

It's okay.

Everybody dance

Do-do-do

Clap your hands

- Clap your hands

- [Woman ] Hi, Sandro.

Everybody dance

- [Man] Think we 'll get in?

- This usually works.

Everybody dance, do-do-do

- Clap your hands, clap your hands

- Des, I think we need to talk.

Yeah. There's something

I have to talk to you about.

Do-do-do, clap your hands

Clap your hands

Music never lets you down

Puts a smile on your face

Anytime, anyplace

Dancin' helps relieve the pain

Soothes your mind

- Whoo!

- Makes you happy again

Listen to those dancin' feet;

Close your eyes and let go

- I think Tom's here.

- Really?

- Tom Platt.

- If it aint got that swing

Bop shoo-op, bop shoo-opJ

Bop shoo-op

Everybody dance

Do-do-do, clap your hands

Clap your hands

- Do-do-do, clap your hands

Clap your hands

Everybody dance

Do-do-do, clap your hands

Clap your hands

Spinning all around the floor

Just like Rogers and Astaire

Hoof all night without a care

Strutting to our favourite tune

The good times always end too soon

Everybody's dancin'

- [New Disco Song]

- [Alice ] Who's she?

They call her Tiger Lady.

- It's actually a cheetah pattern she's wearing.

- At some point she wore a tiger pattern.

It's always something very slinky and sexy.

- You consider her sexy?

- Yeah.

- Here. A banquette.

- Where's Jimmy?

- I don't know. He went to get drinks.

- What would you like?

- Uh, vodka tonic.

- Me too.

[ Hap]

I'll go with you.

Ever since I was six years old or so,

I sensed I was somehow. - .

Different.

Then every time you made love to me...

- you must have wanted to vomit.
