("Delivery Break")
- Oh yeah!
We're the Delivery Boys
Yeah, the Delivery Boys
We are the greatest, greatest
We'll be breaking away
Until we take it away
As the greatest break dance company
Don't mind the song that we sing
Cause we're just doing our thing
There's nobody better
That Spider thinks he can win
Until the D-boys begin
And the Devil Dogs start going down
- [Boy] All right, Sike!
Through thick and through thin
Whatever the weather
The sun never shines on the brothers apart
Wherever we're going, we're going together
- Backspin! - Killer move!
- Suicide!
(boys cheering)
Whatever the weather
The sun never shines on the brothers apart
Wherever we're going, we're going together
- All right, Sike! Go boy!
We're the Delivery Boys
Yeah, the Delivery Boys
We're the greatest, greatest
We'll be breaking away
Until we take it away
As the greatest break dance company
We're the Delivery Boys
Yeah, the Delivery Boys
- [Delivery Boy] Oh, look at that guy go!
(bell tolls)
- Come on man, get up!
Come on man, get up!
- No!
- Damn, man.
Every since you stopped dancing
all you've been doing is drinking.
- [Friend] How's it going?
- [Max] Find Izzie a job today.
A job he's going to keep this time.
- Listen, Fast Action wants us on the stage real quick.
Run emergency drill.
You know how that goes.
- Hear that, Max? You better go.
- No, we're going to go.
Fast Action's always called in those emergency drills.
Then we're going to see Angelina about a job.
- Crazy.
Joining our ranks?
Delivery Boys of America unite!
- Oh!
- What, did I say something wrong?
(hip hop music)
- [Boy] Ready?
- [Dancer] Yeah, let's go.
- Hey! Where are you guys going?
- We got to go to work!
- You don't start working until 12 o'clock.
- I got to get my brother Izzie a job.
- I got homework.
- What's your excuse?
- I got a date.
- Oh, you got a date?
- Yeah, I got a date.
- How do these guys want to win?
Look at them!
These guys ain't just playing for marbles, you know.
How do you guys expect to win if you don't practice?
- [Max] These guys a bunch of all day, suckers!
- Suck this!
- So long, suckers!
(laughs)
- Man, you worry too much!
- I worry too much?
- Those guys ain't nothing.
- Somebody's got to worry around here!
- I want to see some windmills!
- Windmills! - Windmills!
- Why pay my bills? - What you say?
- He said windmills.
- [Fast Action] Now!
- Me don't see her.
- She in there.
I see her go in hours ago.
- We've got to convince her of me seriousness.
- You serious, boss.
- Man, you is serious.
- She ain't never gonna see nobody as serious as you.
- You deadly serious. - Cool it, man.
- Shit. - Shit.
- You've got company.
- How awesome.
What do they want with me?
- I don't know, but I think you better find out.
Go give it to 'em.
- Can I do something for you guys?
- [Spider] You may sit down.
- What you got in mind?
- Me say sit down!
- They call me Spider.
- 'Cause you creep around?
(boys laugh)
- Cool it, man!
- Shit. - Shit.
- This is a very serious matter.
- Good, I like to be serious.
- Three of your delivery boys are members
of a break dance crew known as the Delivery Boys.
- So, what's it to you?
- Tonight, your Delivery Boys are going to face off
against my crew, known as the Devil Dogs!
- Here comes the serious part.
- [Crony] He getting serious now.
- So am I.
- They're giving a 10 thousand dollar reward
to the crew that wins.
- That so?
- Yeah, that so.
Now, last year, the Devil Dogs was up to win
the 10 thousand dollars just like this year
we're up to win it.
But we didn't win it last year.
- Sorry to hear that.
- Oh, so was we.
The crew that won last year was called the Big Shots.
- [Spider] Now, that's a picture of the Big Shots
holding their check for 10 thousand and their trophy.
(mumbles)
- Yeah, we brought them along because
they are going to help convince you.
- Convince me to what?
- You're going to find out right now.
- That's Richie.
That Bobby.
That's Manny.
That one's Richie.
That one's Bobby.
And this one is Manny!
(laughs)
The Big Shots!
- [Angelina] Oh, no. Say it ain't so!
- Now they the Little Shots!
- Cool it!
- Shit.
- I've got seven empty places in my trophy case,
and Max's crew got seven guys in it.
- What do you want me to do?
- You keep your delivery boys
from showing up at the contest.
My guys can handle the other four with no problem.
This is all a question of mind over matter.
You see, I don't mind and they don't matter.
Now, by putting our heads together,
we're going to help your delivery boys to keep
their heads together with their bodies, you dig?
Irie, that's what we're going to do right now!
(laughs)
- Hey you, pussies.
You ain't going to win diddly squat sitting on your behinds.
- I feel an emergency drill coming on.
- I feel a pain coming on.
(speaks foreign language)
- What he say?
- Scandal says he's going to practice his moves
out on the stage.
You know, he's been hanging out
under the bridge a lot with that guy Kenji.
- Man, that dude Kenji got the freshest boogie moves.
I wish he was in our group.
Instead of...
- I know what you're going to say.
And don't say it.
- So Conrad, don't move in your league.
But he cares a lot about the D-boys.
Wasn't it his dad who bought us the costumes?
- Yeah, and wasn't it his dad who gave Max
the job delivering at the pizza place
when Izzie and Max's mom died?
And they didn't have no bread.
- Dang man, he can't help if he's blond.
Don't be prejudiced man.
- Yo, I ain't prejudiced.
I like Conrad.
But why ain't he here practicing with us,
instead of getting down with that chick?
(somber music)
(music plays on player)
- I know what the problem with you was.
- What?
- You weren't concentrating.
- I know.
I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking of you.
- That was obvious.
- Was it that obvious?
- I've never had this sort of a problem with a guy before.
What's wrong with me anyway?
- You're a pig.
- Pig?
- A pig.
- A pig, pig?
- We're both pigs.
- I'm getting out of here.
- I'm a pig, too!
Perhaps the biggest pig of all!
I'm all confused inside.
Nothing matters anymore.
Except one thing.
- Conrad.
You forgot the board meeting downtown.
Your father is going to be mighty pissed.
- You know Babcock, I hate board meetings.
No matter how I try, I'm bored with boards.
- Why would you bring a girl to a dump like this?
- Well, I've been to the Ritz Carlton.
I've been to the Carlisle.
I've been to the...
- I know, I know, Conrad, you're bored.
- I'm bored. - Yeah.
- To be or not to be.
That is the question.
The question?
Mind. Suffer. Slings. Arrows.
- Conrad, don't you think you'd ought to be
telling me where I've been taking you every night,
for the past two weeks?
- No.
- Your father has been breathing down my neck!
- I know, it's terrible!
It's those cigars he smokes.
- Why won't you tell me what you've been doing
all these nights?
- You might break under torture.
- You're right.
I would.
I'm not brave.
- Oh, stop the car!
(tires squeal)
- Hey, Ciucaferri, wait up!
- To die, to sleep.
To sleep a chance to dream.
Aye, there's the rub.
What's a rub?
(mumbles)
- [Conrad] Wait up!
- What dreams may come must give us pause.
- What's up, man?
- What's a rub?
- A rub?
- Yeah, it says here, "Aye, there's the rub."
- Oh, that's Hamlet.
- I know that's Hamlet.
Hamlet don't know how to talk right.
- You know what, man?
- What, man?
- I think you're the best.
- You, too.
- You worrying about us because you care about us.
- Damn right I care about you.
It's a manager's job to care.
- You're more than just a manager.
You're like my best friend.
You know something?
I think you're the best.
- Me, too, man, I think you're the best, too.
- Joey's been acting weird lately.
- Reading all that Shakespeare stuff.
- Why he doing that, man?
He Italian, not Shakespearian.
- An education is an important thing to have, you know?
- Your move.
- Ah!
- The moon, see through the finger.
(exclaims)
(hip hop music)
- I told you I'd take care of everything.
Look, I don't like this, but I'm doing it, ain't I?
You just send your bozos where I tell you,
and when I tell ya.
And I after this, I don't never want to see
your lousy face no more.
- She's something, ain't she?
- Yeah, you know who was here talking to her?
I seen them together.
Spider, and two of his Devil Dogs.
- No shit, man!
What was he doing here?
- Better ask Angelina that.
- Spider and those Devil Dogs.
- Max, what's there to worry about?
- Ten thousand bucks worry.
- Ms. Belmont please.
- Max is going to win.
- Not if Spider has anything to say about it.
Come on, Izzie, let's find out what's going on out here.
What's all this I hear about Spider coming to see you?
- Whatever do you mean?
- Come on, Angelina.
You know I treat you right.
- Sometimes you do.
And sometimes you don't.
Who's that handsome specimen over there?
- This is my brother, Izzie.
He needs a job.
You got one for him?
- Dang man, you ain't getting no place like that.
- Muscles ain't everything, you know.
- They ain't?
- No, brains are important too.
- Not like muscles.
- Brains are muscles.
- You say?
- Well, you see, the more you exercise your brain,
the stronger it gets.
If you never read or talk about deep shit
and stuff like that, your brain gets flabby.
- You telling me I got a flabby brain?
- Think Izzie's going to get a job at Ben's?
- Depends on Angelina.
If she likes him then...
- That chick is weird.
- She's on level.
She'd never do something to screw us around.
- I don't know, man.
Izzie's got the strangest effects on chicks.
- This is true.
Izzie sure does make girls act strange.
But Angelina, she's well put together.
No guy ever make her come unglued.
- Max, got a delivery, Belmont, a penthouse
off of Fifth Avenue.
Now!
- I'll take care of your brother Izzie.
- See that Izzie, you've got yourself a job.
- Max, go!
- Way to go, Izzie.
(hip hop music)
- Check this out!
Go ahead, now you try it!
- Nah, nah, it doesn't go like that, man!
You're too white, man.
You've got to move like a Latino.
Watch.
- That looks like a square dance.
- What's a square dance?
All the men, do see do
- Unhand me man!
I don't do that kind of dance man.
Let's get to it, man!
My kind of dance. Come on.
(buzzer sounds)
- Yes?
- Hi, I'm from Ben's with the food.
- He says to come in and wait.
- Sure thing.
What's your name?
- Me? Tina.
I have to go back inside, but you wait here,
and she'll be out soon.
- She'll be out soon.
This is going to be great!
- [Speaker] Ooh, you better wait.
Please, pick up our food.
The dining room is upstairs.
Up the stairs, silly.
That's it. Don't be afraid.
(classical music)
My, aren't we gorgeous?
Enter the room at the top of the stairs.
That's a good boy.
That's where we eat.
- This is a big house you have.
Where are you?
- You'll find out.
That's right.
Now enter the room like I told you.
Such a good boy.
- This is a dining room?
- Just put the food on the table.
- OK, that would be 11 dollars and 42 cents, please.
- Sit down, please.
- Sit down. Where?
- At the table, silly.
That's right.
Now take the food out of the packages,
and put it on the place.
That's fine.
Now there's a wine bucket right near you.
See it?
- Yeah, I see it.
- Pour wine in both glasses.
Now close your eyes.
- Close my eyes?
- Mm-hmm. Close those beautiful, brown eyes.
- I'm Elizabeth.
- I'm Max.
Are you on welfare?
- On welfare?
- I think it's so much nicer that way.
(glasses clink)
- Take a little cheese.
Yeah, a little more.
(mumbles)
- They don't mind the blood.
Just put the cheese (mumbles)
OK, just fold it, right?
Hey, how's the future citywide break dancing champions?
- He's nervous.
- I suppose you're not?
- I ain't got no deliveries.
I intend to meditate.
- Where's Angelina?
- She's downstairs in the store room.
With a new recruit.
- Conrad, if you win, what are you going to do
with your share of the money?
- I may dedicate a new wing at Bellvue.
- What did he say?
(hip hop music)
- Let's go.
(rapping)
Not the imitator,
The crowd fascinator, the woman persuader
The emcee devastator, and no one is bigger
(rapping)
Charlie Rock, yes, that is me
And I was voted number one emcee
I'm not a buyer, I am on fire
(rapping)
- How can you look so nervous man?
- Something's got me nervous.
It's a tough business.
- D-boys giving you trouble?
- Trouble?
Who gets them the gigs?
Who sees they show up on time?
Who sees they got clean costumes?
Who sees they get paid?
- You do?
- Damn right I do.
That ain't all the trouble you got from what I be hearing.
- No shit.
- Spider up to some evil moves.
Ain't you heard about it?
- No.
- You're gonna hear.
Personally, I hope you whip their ass.
But you won't.
- What are you talking about, man?
- How is it going, gentlemen?
- The two dudes just go inside a few minutes ago.
- Man, we're going to fuck those mothers up.
You sure did do a good job on that Angelina.
She got bad flairs for those delivery boys.
- OK, me slide into the workouts.
Now both you two gentleman know
what you're supposed to do, eh?
- Do I know? - Do I know?
- Do you know?
- Shit, man!
- Shit, man!
- "Shit, man," me ask you a question!
- Shit! - Shit!
- So what happened?
I mean, premature ejaculation is no crime.
- What's my mother?
Have you ever been interrupted by mother
while nature was taking its course?
That my friend, is a sensation to be avoided at all costs.
- So what she do?
I bet she screamed bloody murder.
- Conrad, you don't know my mother.
She comes over right to the place
where Brittany and I are (mumbles) on the rug.
My mother kneels down, she turns to Brittany
and says, "How can you do it?
"How can you stand it with him?
"He doesn't even take a bath!
"Have you looked behind his ears?"
(laughter)
- What's the matter with him?
- Ah, Joey's dealing with his nerves.
- What are you so nervous about?
- Break dancing ain't like boxing.
- Pugilist snob.
- I'm so nervous I can't see straight.
- I wish I had a delivery to keep my mind off things.
- [Angelina] Conrad, Conrad?
Come here, please.
- Conrad, come over here.
- [Conrad] What you got, sweetheart?
- You say it, but you don't mean it.
- Sure, I do, sweetheart.
You take real good care of me.
I don't know what I'd do without you.
- Oh, Conrad, you're so good.
- I was a choir boy.
Did you know that?
- Conrad, promise me one thing.
- Anything.
- Promise you won't hate me?
- Now why would I hate you?
- I just couldn't stand to see you all shrunk up.
- Run that by me again.
- Sing to me, choir boy?
- Later. You got something for me?
- You bet I do.
- You got a delivery over at the hospital in Brooklyn.
Hurry back.
- Certainly, my dumpling.
- [Cook] Hurry back!
Certainly, my dumpling.
("Delivery Boy")
When the sun is gone down,
All over the town
And there's nothing to do
And the hunger is there, but the cupboard is bare
Here's the answer for you
You just pick up the phone
And you're no longer alone
He'll give you all that you wish
With a 10 minute dish
That boy will deliver
Come on delivery boy
Come on a deliver your bundle of joy
And be the giver of all I require
You've got the food now feed my desire
I want the one with the tan
The one with the hand full of goodies for me
I want the one with that look
That's gonna write in my book
What his tip's gonna be
Just pick up the phone, and you're no longer alone
Give me all that you wish,
And with that 10 minute dish
That boy will deliver
(emergency sirens in distance)
- Like I say, your substitute guinea pig
be here any minute.
He need that hundred dollars real bad.
Him momma sick, you know?
But he a little shaky about taking that needle,
if you know what I mean?
- Don't worry about that.
He won't know what hit him.
- That's good. That's good.
Now you two gentlemen excuse me.
I've got to go to church!
- Don't worry, Uncle Sam will take good care of your friend.
- So I pray.
So I sincerely pray.
Hmm.
- [Scientist] When our guinea pig knocks, you answer.
- Shit.
- I stand there behind the door...
- Blood sugar is 150.
- OK, increase her NPH to 40 units this evening,
and do an AM blood sugar.
- Excuse me? - Yes?
- I have a delivery for the fifth floor experimental lab.
Two boxes of pizza?
- You can take them right down the hall.
It's the second door on your left.
- Second door on the left. Thanks!
- Hey, and good luck.
- Thanks.
- Shouldn't we apprise the subject
of the side effects of this drug?
- We will.
Afterwards.
- The subjects are much more willing afterwards.
(liquid squirts)
- [PA] Dr. Capp.
Dr. Adams. Dr. John Adams.
- Just a minute.
- [PA] Dr. Evans.
- Good evening, young man!
Come in please, won't you?
You can give me your pizza, and we'll have it later on.
- Uh, well that will be 12 dollars and...
Whoa.
Whoa. Whoa.
- Marvelous.
I love cooperative subjects.
You want to move over to the table with me, please?
(machines beeping)
- Now, at long last, we can begin.
(Elizabeth sighs)
- How can you sleep at a time like this?
(Max groans)
- What we have here is a failure to communicate.
(Max groans)
("Biter's in the City")
Hey now, hey now, hey now
- Yeah, man!
- God.
Listen, something I got to tell you.
It's been on my mind lately.
A lot of things been on my mind lately.
But it's been the most on my mind.
You know I never had nothing.
Ain't never been nothing.
I guess I thought I would never be nothing.
I guess when you think of all the billions
of people out there, none of us is nothing.
But of all the nothings,
I was the most nothing.
When I'm breaking, spinning around like this old top,
I used to spin around when I was growing up.
When I'm spinning like that, I'm so free.
There ain't nothing I can't do.
You got to help us win tonight.
We got to go out there with something.
Make you this deal.
Let us win, just this once, let us win.
You know my buddies and me.
Then it's cool.
Then we'll go out losing.
Like I done the rest of my life.
How about that?
Isn't that a good deal I'm offering you?
- Do you really have to be there?
Hey, Angelina, will you find something for Joey to do?
I can't cook with him meditating on the counter.
He's been there for two hours.
- Two hours.
He'll get hemorrhoids that way, you know?
- Angelina, I can't work here if you don't do something
about this delivery boy.
- Hey, Joey.
- Hey, Joey!
Would you like to work this evening or what?
It's bad enough you guys are leaving early on me.
Falcon's Gallery. Six boxes of pizza.
(mumbling)
- You can't leave.
It's simply out of the question.
- [Max] You're talking like I'm your prisoner or something.
- How observant.
- You crazy or something?
How are you gonna keep me here against my will?
- I won't.
In fact, the door won't even be locked.
But you'll stay. Open it.
Find out.
(dog barks)
- What a nice pet you have.
- That's Spot.
And he hates delivery boys.
Then there's Daddy. - Daddy?
- He stays in a little room right off the foyer
almost all the time.
And he's with the police commission.
Now what would he say if a Puerto Rican delivery boy
came tiptoeing out of his daughter's room,
after ravaging the poor damsel for two hours?
- Oh?
- What is it now, Izzie?
- I just know it.
Something terrible has happened to the delivery boys.
- Now, I ask you, "Would I send employees
"into a situation that they could not handle?"
(machines buzzing)
(sultry song)
You're just a bad boy
Doing things that a good boy
Never does
You're a schemer, scheming things
That a dreamer dreams about in private
But never, never does
Just a devil
Never loves on the level
Never cares
Well you're hurting, look who's pulling
Your curtain
Look who's finally caught you
And got you where it hurts
(ominous music)
- Holy moley!
Orpheus $45,000
(thunder rumbling)
- What you want? Go away!
Show not ready yet.
Come back later.
- Got your pizza order.
- Why you no say so?
Pizza for critics.
They no worth more.
Ah, you like my people, eh?
- People?
- Yeah, I make plastic casts from real people.
Are they very good?
- Yeah, really very good.
- How much, how much you want?
- All of her.
- How much money you want for pizza?
- Oh. Six pies.
$30,000?
Uh, no, I mean $32.
- I go, you wait.
Look around.
Tonight is big opening.
This one here, the one you look at,
is my masterpiece.
No, don't touch the statue!
They break easy.
You break, you sorry.
Delivery boy break this last week.
Now in East River.
- I'm just going to look.
I won't touch.
(ominous music)
- Holy moley!
(breathing heavily)
- The East River?
- Maybe they got held up?
- Maybe they got held up?
- Maybe they got into an accident or something.
(speaks in foreign language)
- Listen, all I know is that in one hour
this contest starts and three of our guys are missing.
(speaks in foreign language)
- I was going to send my little brother to camp next summer.
(speak in foreign language)
- What the hell he say?
- He said he was going to get a college education.
(speaks in foreign language)
- He says, "Don't you speak English?"
- That's what he said?
- You guys are talking like we're all down and out of it.
- Look at them, man.
You telling we ain't been licked?
(hip hop music)
- Something's coming.
I don't know what it is, but it's going to be great.
- Could be. - Who knows?
- More wine, my delicious animal?
- Yes, my lady, if you wish me to have.
- Yes, my gladiator, yes.
Tomorrow you will go into the ring
and fight to the death.
- I never knew a lowly slave could know such bliss.
(machines buzzing)
- Nothing?
- Absolutely nothing.
I have never in my life had a subject like this.
All we have is a few blips.
- There's one chance in a million.
- Only one chance in a million?
- You watch and listen.
In the rapture of your touch
I see Paradise anew, my darling
I love you so much
From the moment our eyes met
Something grew inside me
Once my heart was taken
No more the callow school boy
Lonely nights forsaken
Your touch is now my new joy
Where as one side we've done moved
The untouchable young fool
Till in your touch I found the proof
No one is meant to live alone
Then something grew inside me
(boing sound)
Singing praises
Where once I didn't touch his
Now your touch raises my most primeval urges
In the rapture of your touch
You pluck my heartstrings taut
So
Much
(monitors buzz and beep)
- We got to talk.
- Yeah, I think we better.
(Spot barks and growls)
(barking)
- Tina, why won't you cooperate?
Won't be any good to run.
There is no place to go!
But you know how kind I am to those who cooperate?
You know how to cooperate by now, don't you?
- Damn, she hid my clothes.
- You'll be just like the rest of all the other girls.
You'll do what you're told!
You know what comes next?
- Oh!
(floorboards creaking)
(Spot growls)
- Oh, hello there Spot.
I bet you'd like your dinner right now, wouldn't you?
- What are you doing here?
- Oh, you must be Mr. Belmont!
I'm Rosa!
- Rosa?
Rosa, what are you doing in my foyer?
- Well, I'm here in your foyer
because the agency sent me over.
To be your new maid.
- New maid?
Yes, we do need a new maid!
I was just in the process of getting rid
of the last one.
Go see what you can do this very minute.
(Spot whines)
This is going to be your room.
Now, you see that hole there?
That's my playroom next door.
I have that hole because I like to have a close
ongoing relationship with people that work with me.
- Oh, that's really nice Mr. Belmont.
I mean, a good relationship with your employees
is an important thing!
- I'm glad you like that!
You know, I've got an idea.
Why don't we try out the hole thing right now?
See what you can do?
You can get a big bonus the first day!
Look, I'm going to go out, go next door,
and I'll show you how everything works.
(Spot barks)
- [Mr. Belmont] Here I am!
Now in a minutes, I'm going to take
my face out of the hole, and you'll never guess
what I'm going to put in its place.
- I can guess.
- Rosa, we're going to see what you can do!
I'm ready.
- Holy shit!
Senor Belmont!
Please put your head back in the hole.
I've got to talk to you.
- Come on, Rosa, I haven't got all day.
- Oh, I know that, Senor Belmont.
But I want to do a real good job for you.
There's only one way I can do what you want.
- What do you want me to do?
- Well, I'd like you to go back into your kitchen
and get me a big container of fresh whipped cream.
- I know where you're coming from!
I'll be back in a flash.
(Spot barks)
- Well, hello!
Washing windows?
- He tried the same thing with me.
All I wanted was a job.
- I'm the delivery boy from Ben's.
(honks)
- Oh, yeah, hi.

- What are you going to do?
- I'm going to be kind to animals.
- You're gonna what?
- Here, hurry.
- Are you ready?
You can cooperate, won't you?
- Oh, Senor Belmont, I'm going to give you a feeling
like you never have before your life.
- I can hardly wait.
- Neither can I.
- I'm ready.
- [Max/Rosa] Just relax now.
(moaning)
- What a tongue, Rosa, what a tongue!
Your teeth are sharp!
Rosa, watch your teeth, Rosa!
(rock music)
We're gonna make it for sure
We're gonna make it for sure
Gonna ride it around along the streets of the town
Whatever comes, I know we're gonna make it
Give it all you got it, you need to make it
Before the night is over
I know we're gonna make
There's no need to worry

Oh? Well, what happened?
Well, where is everybody?
Oh, Jesus, I better get down there.
Things have sort of flared up around here
and they won't settle down.
("We're Gonna Make It")
(chattering)
- Holy shit!
Men.
Hot men.
Wow, this place is unreal.
Lookie!
Unbelievable!
Excuse me.
- What took you so long?
- Jesus.
- Don't make a scene.
If I move, I'm going to be a dead man.
- I thought they dipped you in plaster!
- I move, they will.
- What are you gonna do?
- I have to stay here like this until all the people leave.
Guy said if I spoil his opening, he's gonna make me
a permanent statue.
- You were set up.
- I was what?
- Set up!
Spider said he was going to shrink your head
and your other parts if you guys showed up
at the contest tonight.
So I helped him to have his shang on.
- You what?
- [Woman] Remarkable ass.
Quite an ass, wouldn't you say?
- Oh, yeah, he is, isn't he?
He's quite an ass.
- Hello?
This is Mrs. Ciucaferri?
Are you the mother of that little delivery boy?
Joey Ciucaferri?
Well, me name is Mr. Spider,
and I'm a very concerned citizen.
Yeah, it seems your little boy, him in big trouble.
It's a shame the things young people
do these days, you know?
He broke a $30,000 statue
at the Defalco gallery on Green street.
Well, you better hustle right on down there,
because you know, that little boy, him need his mother.
- Personally, I find this sort of realism repugnant,
and the vulgarity of the subject matter affords no
vested of redeem ability to the artist...
(flatulence)
- Damn! They stole my god damn bike!
- What's the problem, kid?
- Oh, nothing Ocifer, Officer.
- I thought I heard you say someone stole your bike.
- Did I say that?
- Look, did somebody steal your bike or not?
- Well, uh, they did, but it doesn't matter.
- Oh yeah, how's that?
- Well, it was stolen, but I don't have time
to worry about it.
I've got to get back to work.
- Hey, what are you hiding?
- Me?
Hiding?
- You know, you look awful suspicious.
Get your hands behind your head.
- My hands behind my head?
- You heard what I said.
Look, you want me to run you in?
- Uh, no, Officer.
My hand behind my head?
- Both of them!
- Both my hands behind my head?
- Now!
- [Man in Red Coat] Officer, Officer, Officer.
- Stay right where you are, don't move.
- I want you to arrest this little old lady.
I was just sitting in this park, catching some Z's.
Then I's awaken, and I see this granny
across the park with my box.
I had to run clear across the park to catch her.
Is this clown telling the truth?
Did you rip off his box?

It's so rude.

You've got the food now, feed my desire
- You know, we better get out of here
or else we're going to miss the contest.
- I gotta go.
- A brilliant idea.
I'll slip you past the guy at the door in my skirt.
- I know we got to go, but first, I've got to go.
I've got to 'go' go.
- 'Go' go?
- Piss.
- Ah. 'Go' go. - 'Go' go.
Can't you hold it?
- I've been holding it.
I can't hold it no more.
- What do you expect me to do?
- Anybody standing around?
- No, not right now.
There all over there listening to some onyx.
- OK, good. You gotta hurry.
- I got to hurry?
- Give me a couple of champagne glasses.
- You must be... - Hurry.
- You ain't kidding.
- You better hurry, or there's going to be a flood.
(classical music plays in background)
- OK, I got the glass.
- Take me out of this fig leaf.
- Take yourself out of your own fig leaf!
- I can't do that.
Now will you hurry up!
I thought you'd go for this sort of thing.
Now put a champagne glass down there.
- This is fun.
It's like milking a cow.
OK, ready?
(pee trickles)
Ah, so that's how it works.
(moans)
- Stop! It's full!
- OK, get another one.
Ready? - Ready!
(moans)
- Stop! Now this one's full.
- Get another one.
- Another one?
- Hurry up, before they come back.
- Ready? - Ready.
(moans)
- Uh oh, here comes the crowd.
- That'll have to do for now.
Close me up.
- Here they come!
- Thanks, pal.
- Don't mention it.
- [Guest] That Dr. Marchan hasn't the slightest
idea about art.
- I really found him rather amusing.
- I found him terribly boring.
(speak in foreign language)
- My dear, would you mind fetching me some champagne?
- I'm simply dying of thirst.
- Ah.
- Oh, thank you darling.
- Quite all right my dear.
- Did you know that Dr. Marchan was the museum consultant
on that Rembrandt forgery brouhaha some time back?
- Ah, he's the one.
- You know, I think there was something terribly
underhanded in that whole affair.
- It's awfully warm in here, isn't it?
- I think it's the champagne.
It's warm and flat.
- I swear.
The art world isn't what it used to be.
(rock music)
(crowd cheering)
- How it be, gentlemen?
- It be fantastic.
- It be magnificent!
- What the fuck happen?
- The little Italian boy done gone and broke
a $30,000 statue, and is currently indisposed.
- That blonde devil got a needle full of that blue stuff.
Whoo! They both out of the question for the night.
- They wiped out.
- Totally!
- They're in no-man's land!
- Oh, shut the fuck up, man!
- Shit. - Shit.
(crowd cheering)
- Ladies and gentleman.
The hour has arrived.
The moment you have all been waiting for.
For weeks, you have been gathered here,
beneath this magnificent bridge,
to witness the battle of the breakers
on a citywide break dance championship contest.
Tonight, out of more than 200 crews who have
many a competition, the two top groups,
Max Ramirez and his Delivery Boys,
and Spider and his Devil Dogs.
Before the moment arrives, I would like to introduce you
to the sponsor of the event.
The man that made this evening possible,
here's Mr. Arnold Goldblatt,
President of (mumbles) Incorporated.
Maker of those famous (mumbles)
you guys have all been buying for your girlfriends,
(mumbles) panties.
Ladies and gentleman, Mr. Arnold Goldblatt.
(crowd cheers)
- For years, gangs in this neighborhood
and others like it, have been killing themselves
and destroying their neighborhoods with needless
gangland rape, violence, and plunder.
But now, now there is new hope for the young people
of our nation's inner cities.
This art, this new feeling of expression,
for our young begins here with this new way of settling
differences, and may I say with all due modesty...
- Jesus, you've got trouble.
- You ain't kidding.
My back is starting to give.
- Your mother's here.
She's on the other side of the gallery.
- Holy moley!
She can't find me like this.
It'll be the end!
You've got to do something.
- I don't know what to do!
- You've got to hide my face.
- Shut up!
- Good evening, Mrs. Ciucaferri.
You remember me?
I'm Angelina, from Joey's job.
You know, Ben's?
- Yeah. How are you doing Angelina?
- Oh, I'm fine, just fine.
How are you doing?
- I got this call.
Something about Joey breaking a statue.
- Somebody called you, you say?
- Yeah, a man named Mr. Spider.
- Mrs. Ciucaferri.
This Mr. Spider, he's nobody
you should be too concerned with.
Your Joey ain't in any trouble.
- You mean to say that Joey ain't here?
- What I mean to say is...
Holy shit!
- I see something!
I don't know what I see, but I'm gonna find out!
(screams)
He's my son. It's Joey!
Of course I know that little ass.
How many times I've changed his diaper!
How many times I squeezed him when he's a beautiful child
before he'd go crazy?
How many times I spanked him when Joey do nasty things?
(gasps)
Look at that birthmark!
How could I not see it!
- Ouch!
- Joey!
- Joey?
- [All] Joey?
- Oh man, you in very big trouble.
I go to sue you in the court for 10 million dollars.
What your name?
- Joey Fuck-a-Cherry.
I mean, Ciucaferri.
- And may I say with all due modesty, and to conclude
these brief remarks, I am overjoyed and moved
by what is taking place here tonight.
Why it matters not which group wins and which group loses,
for tonight, we are all winners!
(crowd cheers)
- [Spider] All right.
Those two guys are missing by some stroke of luck for us!
(team cheers)
- Now what we got to do what we normally do,
strut our stuff!
This is the question of give and take.
They're gonna give and we're gonna take.
(team agrees)
Now that green money that's theirs is ours for the taking.
You dig?
- We dig!
- You dig? - We dig!
(sirens)
(hip hop music)
(boat horn sounds)
- Hey, Rodney!
- Max, are you for real?
- I want to know what's going on here.
- Izzie told me that Spider's up to his old tricks again.
- Who's missing?
- Conrad. Joey, he's missing too.
- Who do we have to substitute?
- Nobody.
- What you mean nobody?
There's plenty of good boys around!
- Everybody's afraid of Spider.
They're doing a number, freaking everybody out.
Hey, what's with the uh...
- You wouldn't believe it, man.
You got a change for me?
- We don't got time.
We're on in two minutes!
- I need a pair of sneakers.
- Here you are.
- Thanks.
Have Izzie meet me by the stage.
- Izzie's over there.
He's by the fence.
(sirens)
- You're dancing tonight.
- You're crazy man!
It's been too long.
- Izzie, you don't dance, we lose.
We ain't got enough without Conrad and Joey.
- Been too long, bro.
I ain't in shape no more.
- Izzie, you used to be...
- I used to be.
A lot of things.
- Man, you're my big brother.
You're made of the same stuff as me.
- Come on.
You know that ain't so.
- Look, man, I used to be proud of you.
You was my big brother.
You was the best!
The best with the ladies.
The best with skateboard.
And it was you that showed me all I now about breaking.
I owe you, bro.
I owe you for everything I got.
We the best.
We need to be.
Man, what else we got in this world?
Man, I can't.
It's too late for me.
Then you're too late for all of us.
(crowd chanting "Charlie Rock")
(intense music)
- Hey you guys, Max has something to say, so listen.
- All right, you fellas know about Spider's bad doings.
Let's just go out there and take 'em.
- [Emcee] Ladies and gentlemen.
The moment has just arrived!
I'm now going to introduce to you each breaker
of these two magnificent groups.
To my left, you have the Delivery Boys.
Introducing Max, Scandal, Sike, Sailor, and Sir Fresh.
To my right, we have the Devil Dogs.
Introducing Mighty Whitey, Funkie Frankie, Fast Ross
Mr. Spin, Tiny Thunder, and Kid Swipe.
(clapping)
Now it's time to break, you have to be great
Get on the floor and demonstrate
You've got to be loose, you can't be tight
Do some footwork and some swipes
OK, your next test, get ready to break
Don't hesitate, just concentrate
And do your thing, 'cause I want to know
Who has the best backspin
(crowd cheering)
Hand glide is the move that I want you to do
So all you great dancers get ready to rock it
Take the best rise to make you feel alive
Specialize with a hand glide
(crowd cheers)
When you dance on the floor, got to be unique
Show us that your best style can't be beat
So do your thing, start to go wild
'Cause it's time for you to do some freestyle
When you start to break, make no mistake
Just have some faith and you will be great
In fact everyone knows that you are for real
You sold out a stadium with windmills
(crowd cheering)
All you breakers have to do your moves are caught
By doing headspins, windmills, and hand glides
No time for hesitation, it's time for you
To do some combinations
(crowd cheers)
Scandal, Funkie Franky, get on the floor
It's time to boogie till you can't no more
So do some pop lock, wiggle, and glide
When you boogie on the floor you got to look fly
- Hey, hey!
Whoa!
(grunting)
(laughs maniacally)
(crowd exclaiming)
(grunting and groaning)
(grunting)
- Whee!
(makes gibberish noises)
(fighting sounds)
(gibberish sounds)
- Over here.
(gibberish noises)
(laughing)
- Shit. - Shit.
(laughing)
(grunting)
(intense music)
(police sirens)
(grunting)
- I can't believe this.
Unless a miracle happens, the judges will have
to stop this contest.
That would mean certain victory for the Devil Dogs,
who through sheer manpower are ahead a point.
- [Police] Joey, Joey!
Go in there and knock them dead.
Hey, don't worry about that problem back in town.
That's Spider's problem now.
- [Angelina] You said it, buster!
- You're gonna go watch your son dance, Mrs. Ciucaferri?
- I wouldn't miss this for nothing in the world!
- [Emcee] Ladies and gentlemen!
A miracle is happening!
And by is, I mean Izzie Ramirez, who is trying to save
the day for the Delivery Boys!
I can't believe this!
Izzie has picked his brother Max from the pile!
- You got a pair of shorts?
- Here you go.
- Thanks. - Anytime.
(Emcee mumbling)
the fallen bodies of the Delivery Boys!
- Me an American!
I got my green card last week, man!
I'm American!
You can't do this to me!
I'm a citizen of the United States, man.
You can't...
Oh please, no wait, my food!
Oh, guys, man.
Ah, hot!
Me coat! Oh, Lord!
No, man.
Me hate chili!
(crowd cheers and whistles)
- [Emcee] Ladies and gentlemen, this is history!
(crowd cheers)
We have a winner!
(crowd cheers)
(slow music)
With my friends
The hellos and goodbyes
A gang of crazy guys
Sounding their horns
Say, "Hey World, come catch a rising star"
From where we are
Ain't no place to go
But higher
With my friends, we knew we had the choice
To die or to rejoice, we weren't no fools
On our own, we reached out for our share
Snatching hope from dark despair
Weren't no place to go
But higher
While we was creeping through all our schemes
Our souls were sleeping without no dreams
Then one day we found out
To live life was about
Now ain't no place to go
But higher
With my friends, we took the tools we had
Pulled the good out from the bad
Breaking our way
Till we reached the boundary of the waste
The wine of life to taste
Ain't no place to go but higher
While we was creeping through all our schemes
Our souls were sleeping without no dreams
Then one day we found out
To live life was about
With my friends, we took the tools we had
Pulled the good out from the bad
Breaking our way
Till we reached the boundary of the waste,
The wine of life to taste
Ain't no place to go but higher
Ain't no place to go but higher
