Dirty Dancing

Hi, everybody. This is your Cousin Brucie. Whoa!

Our summer romances are in full bloom, and everybody's in love!

So, cousins, here's a great song from The Four Seasons.

That was the summer of 1963,

when everybody called me "Baby" and it didn't occurto me to mind.

That was before President Kennedy was shot,

before the Beatles came,

when I couldn't wait to join the Peace Corps

and I thought I'd never find a guy as great as my dad.

That was the summer we went to Kellerman's.

Ping-pong in the west arcade, softball in the east diamond.

AII you Sandy Koufaxes, get out there!

Complimentary dance Iessons in the gazebo.

Oh, my God. Look ai thaf!

Mom, I should've brought the coral shoes. You said I was taking too much.

Well, sweetheart, you brought 10 pairs.

But the coral shoes matched that dress.

This is nota tragedy.

A tragedy is three men trapped in a mine or police dogs used in Birmingham.

Monks 'oumìng themsewes 'm protesi.

Butt out, Baby.

Okay, we got horseshoes on the south lawn in 15 minutes!

We've got splish-splash, the water class, down by the Iake.

We have the still life art class. We got volleyball and croquet.

And for you older folks, we got sacks!

Don').!

Max!

Doc, after all these years I finally got you up on my mountain.

How's the blood pressure?

I want you girls to know

if it were not for this man, I'd be standing here dead.

- Billy, get the bags. -Right away, Doc.

I kept the best cabin for you and your beautiful girls.

Hey, thanks a Iot. You want a job here?

There's a merengue class in the gazebo in the next few minutes.

The greatest teacher. Used to be a Rockette.

It's his first real vacation in six years, Max. Take it easy.

Three weeks here, it'll feel Iike a year.

One, two, three, four! Stomp those grapes and stomp some more!

One, two, three, four! Listen to the music!

Sorry.

Move your caboose and shake it Ioose!

One, two, three, four! Start the train!

Come on, men! Follow me into a round robin!

Ladies, the inner circle!

Come on, Iadies!

God wouldn't have given you maracas if he didn't want you to shake them!

Okay now, Iadies, when I say "stop," you're gonna find the man of your dreams.

Stop!

Remember, he's the boss on the dance floor, if nowhere else.

Mom, Dad, I'm going up to the main house to look around.

There are two kinds of help here.

You waiters are all college guys,

and I went to Harvard and Yale to hire you.

And why did I do that? Why?

I shouldn't have to remind you. This is a family piace.

Thai means you keep your fingers out o? the water, haìr out o? the soup,

and show the goddamn daughters a good time.

AII the daughters.

Even the dogs.

Scmep them out 'L0 the tenace, show them the stars.

- Romance them any way you want. -Got that, guys?

Hey, hold it! Hold it.

Well, if it isn't the entertainment staff.

Listen, wiseass, you got your own rules.

Dance with the daughters.

Teach them the mambo, the che-che, anythìng they pay fior.

Thafls 'fa. Thafls where 'fa ends.

No funny business, no conversations, and keep your hands off!

It's the same at all these places.

Some ass "m the woods, bui no conversaflon.

Watch it, Rodriguez.

Can you keep that straight, Johnny? What you can't Iay your hands on?

Just put your pickle on everybody's plate, and Ieave the hard stuff to me.

Sit down and I'll get you some wine.

Thank you, Max.

This is Dr. and Mrs. Houseman.

Baby, Lisa, this is yourwaiter, Robbie Gould.

These people are my special guests. Give them anything they want.

- Enjoy. -Thanks, Max.

Look at all this Ieftover food. Are there still starving children in Europe?

- Try Southeast Asia, Ma. -Right.

to Southeast Asia, so anything we don't finish, you wrap up.

- And what are you gonna do, missy? -Lisa's gonna decorate it.

She already does.

Doc, I want you to meet someone. My grandson Neil.

Baby's starting Mount Holyoke in the fall.

Oh, great.

Are you going to major in English?

No. Economics of underdeveloped countries.

I'm going to Mississippi with a Couple of busboys, freedom ride.

This is our own Tito Suarez.

Mambo! Yeah! Come on!

Oh, them. They're the dance people.

They shouldn't show off with each other. That's not gonna sell Iessons.

Actually, I've gotta excuse myself. I'm in charge of the games tonight.

Would you Iike to help me get things started?

Sure she would.

This'll only hurt for a minute. You've got Blue Cross, right?

Was thai good îor you'?

And for being such a good sport, here you go!

I finally met a girl exactly Iike my mother.

Dresses like her, acts like her. So I brought her home.

My father doesn't Iike her!

Go figure.

- Hi. -How'd you get here?

- I was taking a walk. - Go back.

- Let me help you. -No.

- What's up there? -No guests allowed. House rules.

Why don't you go back to the playhouse? I saw you dancing with the Iittle boss man.

Can you keep a secret?

Your parents would kill you.

Max would kill me.

Where'd they Iearn to do that?

Where?

I don't know. Kids are doing it in their basements back home.

Wanna 'm; 'fa'?

Come on, Baby.

Can you imagine dancing Iike this on the main floor,

home of the family foxtrot?

Max would close the piace down first.

That's my cousin, Johnny Castle.

He got me the job here.

- They look great together. -Yeah.

You'd think they were a couple, wouldn't you?

- Aren't they? -No, not since we were kids.

Do you love me?

Yeah!

Yo, cousìn, whafs she domg 'nere'?

She carne with me. She's with me.

"I carried a watermelon"?

Bend your knees. Down.

Watch. Watch my eyes.

Now watch.

Look.

Love man!

Ladies, join our hair-raising wig show.

Look at these hands. They're golden hands.

My God, it's Cleopatra! I feel Iike such an asp.

You look 10 years younger.

At 10:15, by the pool, we have calisthenics.

Then on the west porch, we have a symposium by Rabbi Maurice Sherman

on the psychology of insult comedians.

So I say, "Ask not what your waiter can do for you,

“bui what you can do fior your waìîer

If tips keep up, I'll have enough for my Alfa Romeo.

Ladies, you look very Iovely.

Baby, would you cover for me tonight? Tell Mom and Dad Iwent to Iie down.

Where are you going?

T0 the golf course. There's a pretty view from the first tee.

Good. Thanks.

So you were really a Rockette? I think you're a wonderful dancer.

Yeah, well, my mother kicked me out when Iwas 16.

I've been dancing ever since.

It's the only thing I ever wanted to do anyway.

I envy you.

- Aren't you dancing, Doc? -We're waiting for a waltz.

Hi, Max. Aren't my dance lessons starting to pay off?

You look great, Vivian! Terrific!

That's Vivian Pressman, one of the bungalow bunnies.

That's what we call the women who stay here all week.

The husbands only come up on weekends.

Moe Pressman's a big card player. He'll join our game.

- Moe coming up on Friday? -Friday.

He's away a Iot. I know.

It's a hardship.

Where's Penny'? Everybody's been askìng 'fior her.

What do you mean, where's Penny? She's taking a break.

As Iong as it's not an all-night break.

Come on, doll. Let's take a walk.

I love to watch your hair blowing in the breeze.

Maybe my parents are looking for me.

Baby, dorflworw.

If they think you're with me, they'll be the happiest parents at Kellerman's.

I have to say it.

- I'm known as the catch of the county. -I'm sure you are.

Last week I took a girl away from Jamie, the Iifeguard.

And he saìd to her, “What does 'ne 'nave thau dom have?“

And she said, "Two hotels."

Robbie.

I don't hear an apology.

Go back 'Lo Mommy and Daddy and “sten.

Maybe you'll hear one in your dreams.

I'm sorry you had to see that, Baby.
