Uh, Tony, there

calling, calling your name.

ALL:
♪ Name ♪

Oh, Satch, Jimbo,
Benny, and B.J.

Angela, I want you
to meet the dreams

of Tony
and the Dreamtones.

The hottest
doo-wop group
at Pitkin High.

Well, hello.
I’m Angela Bower.

Hello. Hello.

Hi. Hello.

Oh, my, that’s
so Motown.

Oh, you guys
are really great.

You must have played

for every rally
and school dance.

No. Just the showers.

Remember when
the hot water ran out?

We discovered Benny
was a falsetto.

♪ Woo ♪

come on. Sit down.

Tony, we got
some bad news.

They’re tearing
down the school.

Oh, no.
The old high school?

Gee, Bobby Governale
will never get his diploma.

The bulldozers
can be stopped

if the building’s
fixed up.

There’s a fundraiser
Saturday night.

Anything you need,
I’m available.

We need Tony
and the Dreamtones

to do some sets.

I’ll miss
that old school.

Hey.

How can you say no?

Tony, we get
top billing.

We get to park in
the teachers’ area.

Well, no, but,

but that night,
we have a dinner party.

No, we don’t.

Yes. Yes, we do.

No, we don’t.
Yes, we do.

May I see you
in the kitchen?

We’re just
getting refreshments.

Okay, but yes, we do.

But no, we don’t.

Are you sure
they’re not married?

Why won’t you sing
for a good cause?

Because every time

the Dreamtones
got together,

it was bad news.

I’m talking serious
artistic differences.

Take our name.

Satch wanted Satch
and the Dreamtones,

Jimbo wanted Jimbo
and the Dreamtones,

and Benny wanted--

Benny and the Dreamtones.

No. The Inkspots.

Benny’s
got no ego at all.

Why did they go for
Tony and the Dreamtones?

Angela, you’ve
heard me sing.

It wasn’t
just our name.

We argued
over everything.

That was long ago.

People outgrow
that kind of pettiness.

Not me.

Because of those guys,
I missed a big opportunity.

We were set
to sing graduation night--

Our first real gig.

Before the show started,
we have an argument

over whether
to pull our sleeves up.

Did you?
I’m pouring my heart out here.

Sorry.

It was the end
of Tony and the Dreamtones.

I never got
to hear the applause

or bask in the glory

or have my clothes torn off.

The scars have yet to heal.

Let go of the past.
Seize the present.

If the Dreamtones
communicate

and are sensitive to
each other’s needs,

it will work out.

I don’t know.
I don’t know.

I saw your face light up
when you went "waa."

Yeah, but one "waa"
does not mend a broken heart.

How many people
do you know

get a second chance at
their moment of glory?

I do look good
in sharkskin.

I’m jazzed up.

Come on, Angela,
you’re just saying that.

Say it again.

You guys really
know how to bebop.

Uh, that’s
doo-wop, Angela.

Bebop, doo-wop.
I like this lady.

D.J., and Jimbo,

meet my daughter Sam.

How are you?

Good to meet you.

So? What do you think?

Was this music before
they had instruments?

It’s doo-wop,
Sam.

Doo-wop? I love it.

Good, because Saturday night,
you and your friends

will hear us
at the benefit.

In front
of people I know?

Sam, Sam.

She’s so excited.

She’s excited.
I’m telling you.

We’ll pick it up
from the "ba dap bas."

Benny, what

What? What?

You’ve been "dapping"

when you’re supposed
to be "boom de-yaying."

Jimbo keeps stepping
on my "ba dap bas."

Oh, blame me.

Satch is singing
through Vaseline.

I like the way I sing.

My wife likes it.
My kids like it.

If you don’t
like the way I sing,

tough noogies.

Ever since
we started--

Wait. Hold on a second.

We agreed. No arguments.

Haven’t we learned from
our past experiences?

I got something
we can all agree on.

What?
Lunch.

It’s in the kitchen.
Let’s go.

Don’t hog
all the pastrami.

I hate pastrami.
My wife hates pastrami.

Oh, guys.

This communicating
is tough, Angela,

but I think it’s worth it.

I can’t wait
until Saturday night.

Thanks for convincing me.

You’re welcome.

The Colonel had Elvis,
and I have you.

Besides, I know you’ve
been waiting 18 years

to have
your clothes torn off.

Yeah.

Whoa.

Get down, mama.

How long have you
been standing there?

Oh, since the "uh!"

you’re good.

No, Tony, I’m not.
I’m surprised.

I didn’t know the right
and left side of your brain

were on speaking terms.

[LAUGHS]

Well, I...
I must admit
I do have soul.

I, uh...

when I was in college,

I used
to sing in the dorm.

Me and whoever else
didn’t have a date.

We sang into hair blowers.

Hair blowers?

What did you
call yourselves,

the Curlettes?

How did you know?

Every Saturday night,
we dreamed
of being on stage.

You know,
just getting loose,
getting down,

getting a date someday.

I got an idea.

Why don’t you do
a couple of songs

with us
Saturday night?

Oh, you can’t be serious.

If it wasn’t for you
talking me into this,

the Dreamtones wouldn’t
be getting down at all.

Oh, I would die.
What a way to go.

Okay, Mona. It’s time.

Would you do
the unzipping?

You came
to the right person.

Oh. Oh.

Oh.

Oh, I haven’t
seen you in years.

Well, I hope you two
will be very happy together.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

ALL:
Hi.

Well, well,
well, and well.

You must be
the world-famous
Dreamtones.

You’re the
world-famous Mona.

I don’t know
about world-famous,

but I do have North
and South America
sewed up.

She’s a riot.

So, don’t doo-wop
anything I wouldn’t do.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey!

The threads
look great.

They don’t
make polyester
like that anymore.

Look out, Brooklyn.

Here come the Dreamtones.

It’s Tony
and the Dreamtones.

You know,

if it wasn’t for Angela,

we wouldn’t
be having all this fun.

We owe the lady.

I agree, Satch.

Therefore, I was thinking,

how about we show
our appreciation

by letting Angela sing
some songs Saturday night?

Well, how
does that sound?

Like a nightmare.

Wait a minute.

She’s good.
She’s really good.

We’re the Dreamtones,
not the Dreamtonettes.

That’s how
we’re staying.

When did you
start making
all the decisions?

When you started
getting pushy.

I did not get pushy.

I communicated nice.

Well, I’m
communicating nice.

No go. No way.
No Angela.

That goes for me.

Yeah. Me too.

Benny, what about you?

We should have named
this group the Inkspots.

You won’t let Angela
sing one little song?

You got that right.

Oh, yeah?

Well...no Angela,

no me.

Good.

Good?
Yeah.

We’re out of here.
Yeah, let’s split.

We don’t need stupid ideas
to begin with, man.

Just a waste of time...

[DOOR CLOSES]
Well,

if that’s how you feel,

I think you should leave.

Well, I’m back.

Ready to practice.

Where are the guys?

Ah, who needs them?

They sing flat
half the time anyway.

Oh, no.

You had a fight.

It was about me, wasn’t it?

Look, if they don’t want you,
I don’t want them.

Oh, no. Tony, Tony.
I feel completely responsible.

Why was I born with dancing feet
and a golden voice?

You know, Angela, we--
We all have our crosses to bear.

Anyway, I’m glad
this happened.

It was bound to happen anyway.

Better now than five minutes
before the show.

Now, Angela,

if you don’t mind, I’d...

I’d like to have a couple
of minutes alone

with my sharkskin suit.

I’m making Saturday
night’s dinner special.

Everybody gets
their favorite dish.

Mine lives in Greenwich.

I’m talking
about something
with hot fudge on it.

So am I.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Hi, Tony.
Mind if I come in?

There’s nothing
you can say

to make up
for what’s happened.

The Dreamtones
want you back.

I thought
you’d never ask.

Wait a minute.

What about Angela?

She’s in
for two numbers.

You mean it, Satch?

Angela, get ready
to start moving and shaking.

You’re a Dreamtone.
What do you think of that?

Do re mi!

Has she got rhythm
or what?

I’m so excited.

I just
can’t hide it.

I’m about
to lose control,

and I think
I like it.

You’re going
to peak too soon.

This will be
a real blowout:



The press is coming.

Imagine
my baby up there,

the spotlight following
her every move.

I hope your skin
clears up by then.

Oh, my. I never
actually thought

about people
watching me.

Well, that’s usually how
a concert works, Angela.

What if I trip?

What
if a little spit

sprays out
of the corner
of my mouth?

You know,
the lights pick up
things like that.

Don’t worry.

All the big stars spit.

Anyway, you’re just
singing background.

What if I faint?
Fall backwards.

No. I’m afraid
I can’t do it.

The Dreamtones
will have to go
on without me.

A minute ago,

you were so excited
you couldn’t hide it.

You have a show
to put on. Now rehearse.

Well, are you sure?

I’m positive.

Okay. Come on, Satch,
let’s go.

Gee, 700 people.
What if I faint?

Fall backwards.

Get out of here.

Oh, nice performance,
Angela.

What are you
talking about?

Oh, come on.

I remember all
those ballet recitals,

cello recitals,
piano recitals

that I slept through.

You do not have
stage fright.

All right.
All right. I was--

Tony was so disappointed,

I made a deal
with the guys.

I wouldn’t go on
if they’d crawl to Tony.

Nice work!

I don’t want Tony
to know.

Swear you won’t tell.

Mother’s honor.

And I’m supposed
to trust that.

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you. Thank you
very much, folks.

I think I can speak
for the Dreamtones when I say

it’s great to be back
at Pitkin High.

[ALL CHEER]

Hey, and during
the break, folks,

let’s cough up
some more bucks

so the next generation of kids

can try this
cafeteria’s meat loaf, huh?

[ALL BOO]

Thanks.
We’ll be right back.

When I grow up,
can I be a rock star?

We’ll talk about it,
sweetheart.

Wow! What a life--

Money, applause,

and all the chicks
you can handle.

Jonathan, women
are not chicks.

Whoa,
what a fox!

Oh.

Oh, you are a hit!

You probably say that
to all your housekeepers.

Dad, I am
totally impressed,

but don’t push up
your sleeves so much.

Oh, okay.

She’s right.

Nothing’s worse
than too much arm.

Hey, Tony!

Hey!

I’m thirsty.

Sure. Tony,
have an egg cream.

A double!
Okay!

Okay.

Well, Tone.

[LAUGHS]

Was it everything
you thought
it would be?

More.
I’m in doo-wop heaven!

Hey, thanks.
Yeah, I was good.

And no stage fright?

Stage fright?
Are you kidding?

That’s
Angela’s department.

You know, it’s a funny
thing about Angela.

She would
play that cello

in front of hundreds
of hostile people.

What are you saying?

She doesn’t
have stage fright?

Ooh, it’s getting
warm in here.

If she doesn’t
have stage fright,

why’d she fake it?

Did I say
getting warm?

It’s downright hot.

Are you saying
she set this all up?

Here you go.

Thanks, Angela.

Here, Mona.

Hey, guys,
I’m doing a solo.

Wait a minute!
Hold on!

Ladies and gentlemen,

I need some help
with the next number.

One special lady can help.

ALL:
Oh, me! Me! Me!

No, uh,
you right there.

Me?

Would you
come up, please?

Mother,
what is going on?

Oh, shut up
and go sing. Go! Go!

Let’s hear it!
Come up here.

Mr. Communicator,
we agreed.

This wasn’t
part of the deal.

Uh, tough noogies.

No, no.

What about these guys?

Don’t worry.

Put this on.
Make me proud.
