Tuff Turf Page #4

Synopsis: At the start of his senior year in high school, Morgan's father has lost his company, so the family moves from Connecticut, where they've been in the yacht club, to an apartment in the San Fernando Valley. Morgan has grown up in the shadow of his high-achieving older brother, and he seems to have a knack for getting into trouble. He also has a stubborn streak, so when he finds himself attracted to Frankie, the girlfriend of the leader of a local gang of youthful thugs, he can't stop himself from pushing her for a relationship. The thug thinks of Frankie as his property and sees the cool, urbane Morgan as dead meat. Is this a struggle to the death?

why the hell they haven't.

Well, shake it, shake it

shake it, baby, now

Chuck wagon.

Chuckie wagon.

I like that.

Come on.

Let's eat.

I was just walking by and

I just saw this beautiful aura

coming up over both of you.

I just wanted to

come by and share that.

That's a great shirt.

Can you believe this place ?

There's not a zit in the house.

You kind of look like a Gary.

Can I call you Gary ?

You mean Frankie.

I can't believe

you guys don't know her.

You mix the wrong things,

this is really not gonna

come together...

and you're gonna wind up

launching your lunch

all over the damn place.

In from Europe for two weeks.

Very high concept, guys.

Don't let them fool you.

Of course size matters.

This is the '80s.

Anyway, what I'm saying is

you should watch what you eat.

You know what I mean ?

The cracked crab is to die for.

The dill sauce is

what makes it.

I'm not talking about

size in bed. We're all

the same size in bed.

Good evening. Does the word

phrase "beautiful, beautiful

hair" mean anything to you ?

It's got a certain

je ne sais quoiI can't

quite figure out.

I think it's the sherry,

but I'm not sure.

I'm dying to find out.

This isn't a fashion statement.

It's a sweater.

She had

the most gorgeous boyfriend.

He was incredible. Stunning.

But did you ever see those

little cocktail wieners ?

You know the ones ?

The real, little tiny ones ?

Of course,

the finger sandwiches, you can

never go wrong with them.

If I'm having a small party,

25, 30 people,

you get the watercress,

slice the purple onion

very thin,

touch of butter,

cut the crust off the bread,

you got it made.

We are working currently

with Barry Manilow.

You know him ?

I know Barry very well.

You figure you're gonna

wrap it up in wax paper,

toss it in the fridge,

you got it the next day

for brunch with bloodies.

At first, I gagged.

But after a while

it was really easy.

But you guys swallow it,

don't you ?

Mm-hmm.

dd[ Vocalizing ]

[ Singer ] I'd like to say

in all sincerity, this is

the most fun I've ever had.

You're a fantastic crowd.

I'm having a terrific--

That couple over there.

Bet you came in a B.M.W.

tonight, didn't you ?

I came in a B.M.W. once.

Ronnie, what is this ?

Who cares ? Just eat it.

You'll never see it again.

I'm not gonna eat it.

You eat it.

No, no.

Jimmy, give me some--

Oh, no.

Put some in your bag

and head towards the door.

Can you sing ?

No.

Okay, sit on the piano

and look pretty.

Work it on out

Work it on out

You know you look so good

Look so good

You really got me

going now

Got me going

Just like I knew

that you would

Knew you would

dd[ Vocalizing ]

Take it home.

dd[ Vocalizing ]

We're gonna take a break now.

You're a fantastic audience.

We'll be right back.

Thank you very much.

And we're gonna entertain you

while they do.

dd[ Piano ]

But still we survived

He's crazy.

You are not now,

nor were you ever

members of this club.

Well, how about that,

Frankie ?

Come on.

You know, I feel like

we're a million miles

away from home.

Well, it's just

the other side of the hill.

Yeah.

What did you mean

when you sang that song ?

Just what I said.

It's funny.

I never heard a guy

say anything like that before.

Nick never needs anyone,

you know.

Well, I... think

he needs you.

So what's the story

with you ?

I mean, uh, were you really

rich before you moved here,

or is that just another one

of Ronnie's famous rumors ?

Yeah.

We were doing all right.

Then my father

lost his business.

Are you gonna go back there ?

I mean, to college and stuff ?

No, I wasn't planning on it.

What about you ?

Are you gonna go

for the scholastic gold ?

Are you kidding ?

I'd be lucky if I graduate.

No, I'll probably

just get married. You don't

need college for that.

Your parents happy

about that ?

My dad is.

My mom died of cancer

last year.

Sorry.

So,

feel like dancing ?

[ Laughing ]

Yeah, I feel like dancing.

[ Man ]

Ladies and gentlemen,

fasten your seat belts

and hold on to your bobby socks.
