[Roni, echoing]
Do I dig your music, Angelo?
Of course. From the start.
It's hot stuff in its own way.
Some might say you've recycled
the same material for the last 10 years,
but not me.
Not me.
'Cause if it ain't broke, then why fix it?
[distorted droning intensifies]
[Sakari chuckles]
Ain't broke? That's a little
- Bro, I feel so fucking gross.
- Try again.
"Angelo, I really dig your stuff."
Is it that hard?
- I know it's not. Please just man up.
- I'd rather do anything other than this.
Hey, I'm not going to go to the Bosches
and say that we can't pay the rent.
Come on. We're in deep shit
and this is our best option, okay?
Okay.
I'll just bury my tongue deep in his ass.
But it'll go well.
I'm gonna be there, you know, to help.
Spread those cheeks nice and wide.
- Get right in there.
- [laughs]
NORTHWEST HELSINKI MUSIC INSTITUTE
[Roni sighs] If this doesn't work,
we need to move to Tempere.
[Sakari] What?
[low, sultry dance music pulsing]
- [music halts]
- [Angelo clears throat]
So, I was, uh under a lot of stress,
and, uh, things got out of hand.
And I was
I'm just jealous.
And we're really sorry about it.
And also, thank you for having us.
Ah, no big deal.
I'm used to being dissed.
It barely does anything, y'know.
That's good, because we would both like
a professional relationship.
You'd have a gig at Laundry.
Okay.
Sure, just say when. Let's do it.
- [man scoffs]
- [Roni] This is a good deal.
We will organize all of it.
You get all the ticket sales
and get to play a venue
that hasn't been played before now.
Small gigs like this,
they just aren't really
worth it at this level.
- [Roni] Financially?
- Mmm.
But you did say that you missed
the ambiance you get at a club, right?
[Roni] Yeah.
Yeah, but like in clubs
where someone would actually hang out.
[chuckles]
Yeah, but now most of those popular places
are so boring, you know?
- Just as stale as arenas.
- Mmm, yeah, plus your image.
Come again?
Come on, Angelo.
You know what I mean.
What they say about you.
- Tell me, would you?
- [Roni chuckles]
That you're a dad.
But if you'd like to show
that Angelo is still fresh,
able to show up without a production,
get a place really cooking,
our place is
where you get to show them that.
[intricate, swaggering club music playing]
Tell me again what you just called me.
[Roni chuckles]
I think you heard.
[Angelo laughing]
[music halts
We'll see. Ile will call you.
Hey.
Oh, are are we
Are we cool, or
I I'm sorry that the whole
grand opening was a flop.
Next time.
Hello.
What's wrong?
- Are you okay?
- [Angelo] A migraine.
Aw.
Come here and tell me
a nice, fluffy story.
Give me something else to think about.
A story? But I don't know any.
Your dancer boys were here.
- [Karo] Hmm?
- [Angelo] Mmm.
Yeah, they want me
to perform at their club, I guess.
But that's a great idea.
- Is it?
- Yeah.
Hmm.
'Cause you got the hots
for the younger brother?
- What? No.
- [pointed laughter]
- No?
- No.
Sakke is a good guy.
- Is he?
- He's a hoot.
- A hoot?
- Yeah.
[Angelo] Mmm.
[Angelo groans]
[exhales heavily]
[singing soulfully in Lingala]
What's that?
It's beautiful.
My grandma sang it
to me when I was little.
What's this you're doing?
Um, nothing.
Ile agrees that I need to
freshen up.
Okay, then we'll freshen you up.
[raucous dance music pulsing]
- Thank you!
- [crowd cheers]
Thank you. What a night.
Have a safe journey home.
Good night. Angelo out!
[microphone feedback whines]
[dance music playing faintly]
- [Doris] The sound's not coming through!
- Shit, what's going on?
[Roni] Hey!
All drinks half-price until close!
Let's go! Let's go!
[Doris] Hey, everybody!
Don't go anywhere,
the party is about to start!
[speaker feedback whines]
[upbeat dance music playing]
[sultry, dreamy beat playing]
[door opens]
[music trails off]
Roni.
- Hi.
- Hi.
How's everything?
All good. And you, Viima?
All right. It's an awesome place
you've created here.
Thanks.
So, have you completely
given up on your dance career?
Impossible.
This hustle is
to make my dance career possible.
Running Drastic, that is.
Okay, you formed your own crew already?
Cool, where can I
come and see you perform?
Helsinki International Dance Fest,
of course.
Yeah, you know.
It's still a negotiation.
Haven't made it public yet, but
- Uh-huh.
- it's happening.
Well, that's funny, you know.
Because I thought Ranta
chose autumn's final program.
But maybe I'm mistaken, huh?
How can you ever really know?
Do you have a song prepared or something?
What you think I've been doing here?
Something like
[Roni] Right.
[door closes]
Oops. Sorry.
It's fine.
[Sakari clears throat]
[EDM playing]
Seen Sakke around?
Aw, look, aren't they precious?
[laughs]
[romantic dance-pop playing]
Let's close it down for the night.
Huh? Things are just
getting started around here!
First we have the after-party,
then the after-after-party. Then the Ah!
- After that, we go get a nice brunch.
- Yo. Hold on.
We got early morning rehearsals.
After that song
Okay, you bore-a-saurus.
[Roni] Hey, yo, Sakke!
Yo, Sakke!
Not a bad first night.
Nothing like a live show
to liven up the place.
Yep. And hey,
thank you for opening for us.
[Angelo chuckles]
Hold on. Sorry?
I said thank you for all the help.
Mmm. [Angelo clears throat]
No, but really. We should keep doing this.
Keep working together,
since we got started off
on the right foot and everything.
I've got some plans.
I think we could expand a little.
[Karo, Sakari laughing]
- So, like, working together?
- Mmm.
With me and Sakke, huh?
[Sakari] Okay, nice story.
Turn the volume up some more!
So, hey, Ile'll reach out to you guys.
Ile'll reach out to us?
Hey Ile, let's keep in touch, maybe.
Sakke! The toilets! Now!
I should, um, help.
I'd better be going.
[gentle, uplifting music playing]
- Wanna go out sometime?
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was about to ask
the same thing, to be honest. Yeah.
Yeah.
- Okay.
- Okay.
[Karo] I I'm sorry
that the whole grand opening was
[music fades away]
[Roni] Yo.
Yo! What's going on?
Get outta there. Rehearsal in an hour,
and you still need
to check the cash register.
Let's go, let's go.
- Get up. Let's go. It's a new day.
- Yo, yo, yo!
Who do you think
we should ask to join Drastic?
[grunts] Someone who's got
the same kinda style as both of us.
And the same kind of ambition we got.
- Only one person?
- There's three in the choreo I'm building.
- [exhales]
- What? Huh?
- Just that it effs our dynamic up, bro.
- I'm not saying Yeah.
Hey, that funny dance video
you guys did, it slaps.
The Fire & Ice thing.
Yeah, at that Laundry place.
Do you seriously think
we can afford a bigger crew?
[EDM playing on phone]
[music intensifies]
Look at us. We're joke content.
This guy has five million followers.
His video already has 530,000 likes,
and Laundry was tagged.
Know what this does to our image?
Oh, so we have an image now, huh?
HIDF does not accept
meme lord dancers, dude.
Oh? If that's true then how come
the staff at the HIDF shared the video?
The point is,
we need the exposure.
And that right there?
It doesn't cost us a thing.
[frenetic electronic music playing]
[speaking indistinctly]
[music drowning out dialogue]
Yeah, but don't say anything to anyone.
Hey.
Hey.
[music halts]
Hey, tell me if this looks okay?
Roni?
[sighs] Okay bye.
I'm going out now.
[door closes]
[dreamy, atmospheric music playing]
[music intensifies]
[music trails off]
[wind rushing]
[wind rushing intensifies]
I'm relieved, to be honest.
Thought you'd cancel
after you realized
that you could do better
and say "LOL, Sakke."
Why?
Well, you're a big time star,
and I'm a derpy, broke, basic, whatever,
nobody-wannabe-just-okay seven-plus.
Really, you're only a seven-plus?
So, uh, what is it like
to work with Angelo?
Is he a real diva?
Not at all. No, he's really nice.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
Yeah. I applied to his crew
when I was around 19 years old.
I had no official training.
- Mmm.
- Yep.
And yet, he's given
more and more responsibility
with our choreography and show visuals,
and he's always been there for support.
Uh, support? Like that support?
What?
Like, was there anything more than work?
- What does that even mean?
- No, I don't
I gotta hit the bathroom.
[Karo, flatly] Yep.
[waitress] Oh!
Sorry! Are you all right?
Listen, can you bring a cool-looking shirt
to Mama Huhu's as fast as you can?
Please. It's an emergency.
What am I gonna do with this?
The best. Now just try it.
[grunts] No!
This is not what I meant by a cool shirt.
- I meant neutral.
- Okay!
This is hopeless.
- I can't. No. No.
- Hey, Sakke! Just shut up and breathe.
And you look great, Sakke.
I mean it. Especially in this shirt.
Karo wouldn't date you
if she didn't agree with me,
especially the shirt. Now.
- ["Thank You for Being a Friend" playing]
- Thank you for being a friend ♪
Traveling down the road ♪
Hey, listen Sakke,
something came up and I need to leave,
but maybe we could still do something
sometime as, uh, friends, or
[stifled laugh]
I'm sorry.
I just had to change into this shirt.
Coolest in the world,
and the universe, probably.
Yeah.
You should stay.
