Howdy, my name
is Benjamin Maxwell...
...and I represent
the Petramco Corporation.
And well....
No?
Well, it's all here in these papers.
Petramco now owns
this piece of real estate.
And....
Well, you're gonna have to clear out.
Shit.
We're gonna have to show them
a little muscle.
Stop!
English. I'm impressed.
I'm very impressed.
Father sent me to missionaries
to learn about the white man.
Great. Honey, you get your people
on these trucks.
- I have a forest to clear.
- This is our home.
You got five minutes
to get on those trucks.
If you stay, you burn with the trees.
Now get them on the trucks.
Where the hell are they going?
Deep into the forest to the river.
Well, sooner or later
the flames will find them.
You know, it's a shame
to clear this jungle. It's so pretty.
But business is business.
Let's go.
You must let me go, Father. I'm
the only one who knows their ways.
- Can I help you, sir?
- He does not speak your language.
Oh, do you have an appointment
with someone?
Please, can you tell me
where I can find the chairman?
You mean Mr. Gaines.
Well, he's either in his office here
or in Tokyo or New York or London.
- But I don't see your- -
- And how do I get to his office?
Up the stairs.
Thank you.
Just hold it.
Where do you think you're going?
- To see the chairman.
- You do have an appointment?
No, but my father sent me.
Nobody sees the chairman
without an appointment.
I must see the chairman.
Sorry, sweetheart,
not without an appointment.
Hey, hold on, Bigfoot.
- What's in the pack?
- Gifts for the chairman.
Oh, God. Control,
three here. Stand by.
There's a small situation
developing in the lobby.
- What's your name?
- Nisa.
- Nisa what?
- What?
- What is your last name?
- I am Nisa.
- That is all.
- Okay. Hey, Bob.
Can you check the register
for a visitor named Nisa?
- Nisa?
- Yeah. Just Nisa.
- No, none here.
- No one by that name, huh?
- No. None all day long. I'm sorry.
- Sorry, folks.
I have to escort you
out of the building.
And I'll help you pick up your shells
and your toys.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
What's going on down there?
Relax.
Gene? Gene, you all right?
Take it easy now. Be cool.
Hey, hey, hey.
Back off. Be cool.
Take it easy. Take it easy.
Take it easy. Take it easy.
Hey, hey, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
Well, well, well.
The little girl from the jungle.
- You!
- Now hold on, sweetheart.
You're trying to go places
you're not wanted.
Get up. Up, up. Come on.
You okay? You all right?
What the hell is going on here,
Cutter? Officer, hold on to her.
Oh, I'm sorry. Did I wake you?
I thought you were sick.
No, I'm all right.
I'm Carmen. I walk by this fountain
every morning.
But never before do I see you.
- What is your name?
- I'm Nisa.
Do you have papers?
I had papers.
The police have them now.
There's only one thing
that can straighten out this mess.
- Money.
- I have no money.
Child, you need help.
- I know. I get you a job.
- There is work for me?
Yes, I think I could get you a job.
Besides, you are young and pretty.
- They will love you.
- I'm happy to work.
What kind of work is it?
Now you've seen the upstairs
bathrooms. We have five down.
One is yours.
You can do with that as you like.
I want the others cleaned
from floor to ceiling...
...including the toilets,
at least twice a week.
Are you getting all of this?
Oh, I hope so...
...because the last Mexican girl
we had was thick as a brick.
- I am from Brazil.
- Oh, we were there just last winter.
We stayed at the Plaza del Sol in Rio.
Beautiful place. Do you know it?
Oh, of course not. Anyway,
these are the downstairs bedrooms.
They are for guests.
Except this one...
...which our good- for- nothing son
occupies occasionally.
It's 3:00, Jason. In case getting up
ever occurred to you.
Out dancing all night.
Whenever he's like this,
you can skip his room.
- How will I know?
- If you don't see him eating...
...it's probably safe to assume
he's passed out in there.
Now this is the entertainment....
Oh, God, you startled me.
Oh, hello.
- Oh, I hired a new maid today.
- That's good.
- I hope she's better than the last one.
- She seems okay.
Oh, she's an absolute darling girl.
And she does an outstanding job.
But- - Well, I am a bit concerned
about having her live here.
I don't want a thief,
if that's what you mean.
She might pocket change we
leave out, but I'll watch her for that.
But what worries me is that
she seems so, I don't know...
...different from the other girls
we've had.
You know, she only had
one small handbag with her.
Oh, I'm afraid she only has
one change of clothes.
I don't care what she wears
as long as she does a good job.
I just hope she takes a bath
every now and then.
Jason, where do you think
you're going?
- Out.
- Could you be a little more specific?
Dancing.
Yo, you're in luck, it's Jason.
Oh, hi, Ash. I'm on my way.
We had a date.
I want to dance with you. Tonight.
Look, are you gonna dance
with me or not?
Okay, fine, fine.
Fine.
Damn.
Why not?
Come on.
You look great. Mom would die
if she saw you in her dress.
I do not wish to make
your mother upset, Jason.
My mom likes being upset.
She's made it a lifestyle.
I want you to meet
some of my friends.
- Hey, guys.
- Well, look who finally showed up.
Where's Ashley?
I don't know.
She copped a major attitude.
- I don't know where she is.
- What's new?
Aren't you dancing with Ashley
at the Kid Creole audition?
I'm dancing.
I don't know what she's doing.
- So who's your friend?
- Guys, this is Nisa.
Nisa, this is Dave and Trish.
She works for my dad.
- I'm a- -
- Legal secretary.
She takes the bar this April.
This is my song.
- You want to dance?
- If you like, but- -
- Later, guys.
- See you.
So when did Jason
start dating wetbacks?
Hell if I know. Ask Ashley.
Come on.
Don't you like this song?
- I never heard it before.
- It's on the radio all the time.
Not where I come from.
- Yeah, where's that, Mars?
- Brazil.
I thought the whole world
would've heard this.
- It's a big world.
- Not where I come from.
- What is this, Johnny?
- Let's sit down.
- I like this.
- You like this music?
- Very much. What is it called?
- I think it's called Lambada.
It's supposed to be the rage
in Europe.
- Dance it with me.
- Oh, no.
It's not really my type of music.
It's more East L.A. than Beverly Hills.
Dance with me.
Move from here down.
Become a tree with deep roots
flowing with life.
Good.
And everything else will follow.
Hey! Check out Ricky Ricardo.
Would you look at that.
- God, he is so good.
- It's not him. It's her.
She is hot.
- Hey, let's dance. Let's do it.
- All right.
Why did you call me
a legal secretary?
I'm sorry if that hurt your feelings.
It seemed simpler to tell them
what they wanted to hear.
- I'm not a legal secretary.
- I know.
- I'm not a maid.
- I know. You're something special...
- ...something different.
- But you do not know me.
No, but I want to know you.
This world seems so far away
from the world of my problems.
Leave your problems at home.
That's what I always say.
- I mean, that's where mine are.
- My problem is the reason I'm here.
What do you mean?
- Can I trust you, Jason?
- Sure. I'm Mr. Trustworthy.
- Tell me, Nisa. Maybe I can help.
- Jason! Hey! Jason!
- You said you weren't coming.
- So? I changed my mind.
When did they start
letting your kind into this club?
- She's with me.
- No, I'm with you and you're with me.
- Who are you?
- I am his girlfriend.
Is that true, Jason?
- Maybe I should go.
- Yes, go.
I'll go with her.
Jason! You get back here,
Jason Anderson!
Oh, nice move!
I'm sorry, Nisa.
Jason, come on.
It's just a stupid dress.
Shut up!
Way to go, Anderson.
Grow up.
Then maybe we can talk.
I don't know why you got me up
at 2 a.m. He's come in late before.
- Couldn't we talk about this tomorrow?
- No, Bradley, enough is enough.
It's time we had a serious talk.
I'm not gonna put up with him
out dancing night after night- -
All right, all right,
I hear you.
Here we are,
home sweet home.
Where were we? Oh, yeah.
That dance you taught me.
- The Lambada.
- Yeah. Why is it called...
- ...the forbidden dance?
- Fifty years ago...
...the government of Brazil
forbid it because it was too sexy.
- Get out of town.
- Really.
- Yeah?
- Really.
- It has been fun, but the dress.
- Don't worry about the dress, all right?
It's my mom's dress
and she's my mom. All right?
I'll handle it. No sweat.
- I just can't take- -
- Okay. Jesus.
- Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.
- Good evening.
- Well, good night.
- Jason!
We want to talk to you. Alone.
Sure, Dad. I won't be long.
What's up?
What were you doing with that girl?
- We went dancing.
- Dancing? In my dress?
- You let her steal my dress?
- Mom, I stole it.
Jason, that dress was just cleaned
yesterday.
- Well, it's still clean, but it- -
- Clean?
For God's sakes! Her perspiration
will have soaked right into the dress.
- That's gonna smell nice.
- I don't even want to think about it.
Jason, you gotta
understand something.
This isn't about a dress
or even about the girl. It's about- -
- Nobody saw us, all right?
- Jason, it isn't proper to date the help.
You just don't do that. They're
different from us. You can see that.
Your father and I
don't feel it's fair to us...
...that you spend your time
running in and out of dance clubs.
Mother, I dance.
I like it, and I'm good at it.
That's wonderful, Jason. But we
want you to think about your life!
Okay. All right,
I'll think about it.
You'd better do something about it...
...or you're going to find yourself
out on the street without a cent.
- Am I making myself clear?
- Yeah.
We don't want you fraternizing
with the hired help.
We went dancing.
We didn't go to bed.
Well, I should hope not.
There's enough of those people in
the world without you fathering more.
Will you keep it down?
She might hear you.
I want her to hear me!
And I want her out of my dress.
- About the dress- -
- What about it?
I hope you realize
it's a Christian Dior original...
...and it cost me more
than that maid makes in a year.
- So get her out of it.
- Okay. Okay, fine, all right.
I'll get the damn maid
out of your dress.
Nisa.
- Have mercy. Hello, hello.
- Hello.
Hello. Come on down.
- What can we do for you?
- I can dance for money?
You can dance.
Hey, that's great.
Mickey!
- She wants to dance.
- Welcome to the Xtasy, love.
- I'm Mickey. I run the show.
- Hello, Mickey.
If you'd like to dance for money,
you should dance for me.
I run a class operation.
You would like to dance,
wouldn't you?
On stage? Like them?
No. No. You'd be on the dance floor,
dancing like I was when you came in.
- And I can make money?
- Listen, angel.
You can make more money
than you can count.
And don't worry.
I'm gonna help you take care of it.
I am gonna take good care of you.
- So when can you start?
- I can start tonight.
- Tonight?
- Is that okay?
Yeah, it's okay. It's spectacular.
How about 1 0 bucks a night?
- Bucks?
- Yeah, bucks. You know, dollars.
- You're not from L.A., are you?
- No, I'm from Brazil.
Oh, God. Well, at least you can dance.
All Brazilians can.
We gotta get you
out of those clothes.
Where'd you get those, Goodwill?
I've got some great things down here.
Charlene, go see Eddie. He's got
your check for your doctor bill.
You, my friend,
don't have the coin.
This one's special. She's fresh.
Know what I mean?
Freddie, come on.
Be a good little boy.
Don't even think about it.
Now I told you, this one's special.
And you, my friend,
don't want to pay.
One way or the other.
You see, Mickey's gonna take
good care of you.
By the way, do you
have a green card?
I didn't think so.
- So, what's your name?
- Nisa.
Nisa. I like that.
It's very sexy.
And this is the perfect dress
for a girl named Nisa.
Go ahead. Try it on.
Come on, little girl, you're gonna look
so pretty in that red.
That's it, now just relax.
All the men are just gonna love you.
Sweet little face.
Now I want you to just do it, okay?
That's a girl.
Come on, honey, don't be shy.
You're gonna look so pretty
in that red dress.
That sweet, little young body.
The gentlemen downstairs
are gonna go wild for you.
That's a girl.
Oh, honey, you are beautiful.
Come on. Want me to help you
undress a little bit?
I'll report back this afternoon
on that matter, sir.
- Just a minute, Maxwell.
- Yes, sir.
He's standing right here,
but go ahead.
Thanks.
So there was a security incident
with two Brazilian nationals?
- Who told you that?
- Well, that's not your concern.
I told you I wanted no trouble.
It's your job to make sure
there is no trouble. Clear?
You pay me to take care of trouble.
I'll take care of it.
- Earn your money.
- Yes, sir.
We have danced with every
cheap slut in this stinking town.
- Now I need to get laid.
- That's my boy!
- Look.
- The Xtasy!
"Lambada.
Dance with the queen of the jungle."
- Hey, that's Jason's beaner.
- Well, she's no legal secretary.
- She's not a maid.
- She's the queen of the jungle.
Oh, my God, yes!
- Hey, hey, hey!
- Hey, hey, brother, what do you want?
I ain't your brother. What I want
is money. Ten dollars each.
- You got it?
- Yeah.
No problem.
Okay, you can pass.
- Yeah, that's her, all right.
- God, she looks good.
Let's go.
Hey! Hey, buddy, take a hike.
Hey, baby, remember me?
I'm Jason's friend.
No!
No, I don't want to dance with you.
Get back here.
- Come back here.
- Leave me alone.
Come on, queen of the jungle,
show me the Lambada.
- Stop it!
- Show me how it's done.
Come on, Jason doesn't
know anything.
- Leave me alone!
- You do it with everyone else.
Stop it! Leave me alone.
Help me. Help me, please.
Nisa. Nisa.
Enough!
No, not enough.
Dave, that's enough, man.
Mickey, you want me to handle this?
No, I'll handle this one.
You seem to be having trouble.
Let me tell you about a rule
we have here.
Never before a girl is ready.
Are you ready, honey?
- Never.
- You see?
Go ahead, sweetheart,
get cleaned up.
Now, I know how
to make you feel better. Girls.
Now I want you boys to have
a real good time tonight.
And you come back another time
and I promise you...
...Nisa will be good and ready.
Tear it up, tiger.
You sure you have his passport?
I don't want trouble at the airport
with Immigration.
I got them right here.
- What the hell was that?
- Cuff him to the van. I'll check it out.
Keating.
What the hell is making that sound?
Morgan.
What the hell?!
Where's the witch doctor?
Jason.
- Mind if I sit down?
- Sit anywhere you like.
Look, I need to apologize
for the other night, okay?
I guess I acted like a real bitch.
It's just that seeing you
with that girl made me jealous.
What do you want, Ashley?
For one thing, we need to talk about
our audition for the Kid Creole Show.
- You've gotta be kidding.
- If we dance like we planned...
...then we really have a shot
at winning this contest.
I mean, think about it,
a spot on national television.
Isn't that intense? Jason, millions
of people would be watching us.
I don't think I'm gonna be
dancing, Ashley.
- Was there anything else?
- Jason, what is going on?
I mean, we had so many
good plans together, right?
I mean, the other night is over, okay?
Hell, let's just forget it.
Let's just go on with our lives, huh?
I wanna make up.
Jason, I have said
that I am sorry to you.
Now, what more
do you want from me?
Honey, I miss you.
I miss you too.
I just don't think it can be
the same anymore.
Why, Jason?
Just because you had
a little fling with a street girI?
Forget it. I can forgive you for that.
Don't call her that.
She's not a street girl.
Yeah? That's not what I've heard.
- What are you talking about?
- Nothing.
- What are you talking about?
- Stop it!
If you know anything about Nisa,
tell me.
- Stop it, you're hurting me.
- Spill it.
All right, Jason, you know what?
That little tramp is a professional.
You know what I mean?
If you've got the bucks, she's for sale.
- Who told you that?
- Your friends.
Or maybe I should say
your ex- friends.
They found your Chiquita Banana girl
working full- time in a sleazy sex club.
- That's bullshit.
- Yeah? You don't believe me?
Why don't you just go ask Dave
or Kurt or Weed?
- They each had a turn with her.
- Where is this place?
I don't know. I don't hang out
in that part of town.
Damn it, Jason! Jason, so help me,
if you go after her I'll- -
You are really gonna regret this one.
You're really gonna regret this one.
- Forty- three hundred even.
- Not bad.
Yeah, it's a good night.
Hey. Hey, can't you read?
You see this sign?
Go to school, boy. We're closed.
- I want Nisa.
- Yeah? So does everybody else.
Come back tonight.
Right now we're closed.
Too bad. I hear from my friends
she's really special.
Yeah? I know your friends?
- Do you know me?
- I don't know, but I like your face.
Go head onto the dance floor.
I'll send her down.
Hey, be nice.
Nisa, someone's here for you.
Dance with me.
- Did you pay?
- Please, just dance with me.
It's all right. Everything's going to be
all right. Okay? I'll help you.
Why do you help now?
Did not help before.
I didn't know any better.
I didn't know myself. I didn't know you.
Let me take you out of here.
You do not understand.
Immigration will send me home...
...and I cannot go back until
I'm finished here in this country.
Who told you that?
Mickey.
She said if I did not stay,
she would send me home.
Who's Mickey? That woman?
She lied to you. You don't have
to stay in this place.
Immigration won't send you back.
I'll help you.
And I have money if you need money.
You don't have to sell yourself.
It is you who doesn't have to sell
yourself. They already own you.
Your parents own you. Ashley
owns you. Your friends own you.
Is that not why you're here?
Did they not tell you
what I would do for you?
So you see, we're not so different.
You do what you must.
I do what I must.
And you will be my first upstairs.
- No, Nisa. Please, don't do this.
- Why not? It's only money.
I said, no. I'm not gonna do this,
and neither are you.
I'm taking you out of here.
- We don't offer takeout.
- I am leaving. Not to come back.
You're not going anywhere. We're
making too much money off you.
If you leave, I'll call Immigration,
and I will have you deported.
You go right ahead.
You call Immigration.
And while you're at it, you
put in a call to the vice squad too.
Eddie.
- I told you to be nice.
- Just relax, big fella. All right?
I'm relaxed.
I mean, can we talk about this?
- We can talk.
- Hey.
- We can talk.
- No!
- Get off of him!
- Yeah, we talking good now, boy.
We talking good enough for you, boy?
Nisa.
- Make him stop. Stop him.
- I can't. He's having too much fun.
We talking good enough yet, punk?
I don't think so.
I'll do anything, just make him stop.
Still talking good enough, huh?
- No!
- Yeah.
What in the hell are you?
I'll be back, punk.
My mama had a mojo bag,
but you ain't my mama, boy.
Oh, no. You get away
from me, you freak.
No, he's my friend.
Oh, that's good. Thanks.
- Who is that guy?
- He's Joa, our tribal shaman.
What your people
sometimes call a witch doctor.
Get out of town.
A witch doctor in L.A.?
Hey, that's better. Thanks.
I don't think he likes me.
He wanted to leave you here.
He thinks you're not fit for me.
You should meet my friends.
What do you think?
I think it's not up to him.
Help me up.
Who are you? I know your name
is Nisa, but who and what are you?
Sit down here.
I'm an Indian, Jason,
from the rain forest of the Amazon.
My father is the king of our tribe.
- Then you're a princess?
- Among my people I am.
My father sent us as ambassadors
to the chairman of Petramco.
They must stop killing the trees,
or the sun will eat the air.
- You do not believe me.
- No, no. I do believe you.
You're talking about the hole
in the ozone layer.
This hole is getting bigger because
of the burning of the rain forest.
The sun will eat the air.
This is bigger than you know.
This is not only important to you. This
is important to people everywhere.
And it's important to me.
Petramco must be stopped, Jason.
The rain forest is our ancestral home.
We will not permit them to destroy it!
Just hold on, all right?
If you're taking on Petramco,
you've got a war on your hands.
If war is what it takes,
then war it will be.
Jason.
I can't believe you're buying this.
Princess?
Jason, she will say anything she can
to get you away from me.
Honey, she's a maid.
Ashley, you are so beautiful.
And so common.
And such a bigot.
- Jason- -
- Excuse me.
Jason, she's lying to you.
Jason, this is absolutely crazy.
Jason, why are you doing this?
I need you.
Okay, princess, you want a war?
You got one.
If the destruction of the rain forest
continues at this rate...
...pretty soon this planet
won't be fit to live on.
- You're being overly dramatic, son.
- No, I'm not. It's the truth.
And Petramco had Benjamin Maxwell
run these people out of their land.
If Petramco owns the property...
...I don't see why they can't
do what they want with it.
They sure as hell didn't buy it
from Nisa's people.
Just because some paper
says they own it...
...does it give them the right
to round people up like cattle?
That's wrong no matter
how much money you have.
That's why we need your help.
Are you suggesting that I set up
a court hearing...
...because a servant of mine
wants to shut down...
...one of the world's largest
multinational corporations?
- I'm not a servant.
- Her father's an Amazon king.
I don't care if her father's
the king of Siam.
I do not want my son involved with
an Indian princess from the jungle.
You're both so close- minded!
Stop going around with blinders on!
- Don't talk to your mother like that.
- Who is this man? What is he doing?
If you must know, Mother, he's
a witch doctor, and he saved my life.
Jason, if you need to go to a doctor,
go to a real doctor, not a witch doctor.
Stop him.
What's he going to do to me?
What is he going to do?
Bradley, do something.
It is a gift. What you may call
a peace offering.
He does not understand
your language.
- He just knows that you are unhappy.
- Jason, this has gone on long enough.
- Then you're not gonna help us?
- For God's sakes, do something.
I want these barbarians
out of my house.
I want him and this girl
to leave here this instant.
Jason.
I gotta tell you, if you leave
with these people, that's it.
You're on your own.
No more money, no more credit.
- You'll get nothing more from us.
- Who's the barbarian, Mom?
- Thank you for your help, Carmen.
- Mi casa es su casa.
- It's not much, but it's home.
- Oh, it's very nice.
Thanks. I'm glad for the company.
When you telephone me, I put fresh
sheets on the bed for you, Jason.
And I think Nisa and I will sleep
quite well out here.
- I can't take your room.
- Nonsense.
The sofa is too small for you.
Now, what are we gonna do
about the doctor?
Oh, yes. He's so quiet,
I almost forgot about him.
I guess he's the strong, silent type.
I, for one, am certainly not
going to try to move him.
Well, then I think I'll hit the sack.
I haven't slept much
the last couple of days.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Let me show you. Right through
here, Jason. Straight down there.
- Thanks, Carmen. Good night.
- Good night, Jason. Get some rest.
He is such a handsome
young man, Nisa.
You must tell me
how you came to know him.
Unless you prefer not to say
in front of your guardian.
He has sworn an oath of honor.
Besides, he does not speak English.
Carmen...
...would you think me rude if I left you
to say another good night to Jason?
I would think you foolish
if you did not.
Go ahead, your guardian
will keep me company.
Joa.
For her sake, I hope she's gone
until morning, eh, Joa?
I see you do know music.
They say that music
is a universal language.
And I know another.
I knew you had it in you.
Do you know of these things, Joa?
Oh, that reminds me.
One hundred and two hundred.
My father's money will help
whether he likes it or not.
- It's too bad that's just the end of it.
- Here, I can help.
- No.
- Don't give me that look.
I want you to take it. I wanna help.
That money is no good to me
if I can't help my friends.
- You're too generous, Carmen.
- Thanks. You're a good friend.
Hey, that's it. We got enough
to buy Joa's plane ticket.
Enough already.
You have proved yourself to be loyal
as a saint and stubborn as a burro.
Listen to Nisa.
One day she will be your queen.
This is her decision to make,
and you must do as you're told.
That's more like it.
I'll even go to the airport with you.
- Thanks. Here's the money.
- I have all the information here.
- I'll take care of him.
- You have a way with him.
I think he likes you.
Come along. You may know
your way around the jungle...
...but I know L.A. and city buses.
I'll make sure you make your plane.
See you later.
- Now, what did he say?
- He misses the silence of the jungle.
What's wrong?
Joa will tell my father
that I will stop Petramco.
I still do not know if I will.
We need leverage. I had an idea
this morning how we can get some.
Come on, Jason.
We have to get on that show
and naiI him.
Then we have to win the audition.
Come on, let's rehearse.
- Benjamin Maxwell?
- Ashley?
Ashley Wells.
Get in.
Thank you for agreeing
to meet me here.
No, no. No problem at all.
Well, what can I do for you?
I understand you've done some
consulting with my father Winston.
Wells Electronics?
Well, it looks like you've taken
after your mother.
Only on the outside.
Inside, I am all Daddy.
You must be one confused little girl.
Well, hardly. Now, you're still the
hired gun for Petramco, aren't you?
- What do you want?
- We have a mutual acquaintance.
A certain Indian princess.
- I know an Indian princess?
- Save your act for the unwashed.
I know she's as big a pain in the ass
for Petramco as she is for me.
So I thought it's about time
we do something about her.
- Where can I find her?
- At this club, Creation.
Jason and Nisa have been
rehearsing here every afternoon.
They're preparing a dance audition
for the Kid Creole Show.
And if they make the audition,
they're on national TV.
- I won't allow that to happen.
- Well, I didn't think you would.
We can't let them go on TV and
preach anti- American propaganda.
What are you gonna do to her?
Let's just say I wouldn't do anything
you wouldn't approve of.
Jason, you like?
What is that?
No. Go change.
And now the next auditioning couple
for the Kid Creole Show:
Ashley and Trevor.
Ashley! Ashley! Ashley!
Jason.
- Congratulations, you guys were great.
- So how's the Peace Corps?
- Give it a rest.
- Anything for you, bwana.
This is just a TV show to you.
It's important to us.
"Make the world safe for trees."
Isn't that it, Jason?
Your Highness.
And now, here's Jason and Nisa.
Great!
Oh, great.
Now with the winners,
here's Mama Coconut, Adriana.
Thank you.
On behalf of Creation and
Kid Creole and the Coconuts Show...
...I'd like to congratulate you
and thank you, Jason and Nisa.
Tomorrow night the Kid
will be here live, in person...
...to beam them into every home
in the United States.
Jason, Nisa. You guys were great.
- You were definitely the best.
- What do you want?
Oh, come on. Take it easy.
We come in peace.
I don't blame you for being pissed,
but we wanted to say congratulations.
- So congratulations.
- You deserved to win.
- You two were the best out there.
- You guys were definitely the best.
Also, I'm sorry about the other night.
Yeah, I'm sorry too, Nisa.
I acted like a real jerk
and there's no excuse for it.
But I am sorry, Nisa,
if that means anything.
Well, your pain was bigger than mine.
- I knew you had it in you.
- I wasn't so sure.
- Come on, let's not get all teary- eyed.
- What about you? Aren't you sorry?
- Who, me?
- Yeah. You were there too.
That wasn't me, man.
That was my evil twin.
- How about a toast?
- All right.
- Jason? Nisa?
- We'll pass.
You guys aren't gonna drink with us?
No. We gotta do this again
tomorrow. Besides, I'm driving.
Jason, take it with you.
All right.
- Later, guys.
- You two take care.
You take good care
of that little princess, okay, dude?
- What did I say?
- Jason! Jason!
There's a key under the mat.
I'll be home late.
Thank you for tonight, Jason.
For you, my friend.
Just kidding. Here.
Thanks a lot.
Well, how do you like my theater?
Beautiful, isn't it?
Do you know...
...that at one time
it was considered to be...
...the most famous nightclub...
...worldwide?
All the greats and near greats
of entertainment...
...appeared here, one time or another,
during the course of their career.
Oh, well.
Like all beauty, it fades.
It's been closed now
for over three years.
But I've been thinking
of reopening it.
How would you like to star for me...
...right here on this stage?
Lovely to hear your voice again,
Your Highness.
But do you think you could do that
in English?
Music.
- I thought you liked this kind of music.
- It is you I do not like.
- What do you want?
- You...
- ...to audition.
- I will never dance for you.
Oh, yes, you will, princess.
Or you may never see your tribe
again. I got you a little gift here.
Look familiar?
Show me the Lambada.
All right, Your Highness...
...let's see what you've got.
The stage is all yours.
Impress me.
You call that rhythm?
You'll never see Broadway, princess.
You want to see the Lambada?
I'll show you the Lambada.
My shoes!
No, no, no. This way.
Wait, wait, let me help you.
All right.
I got the mandate to set a jailbreak
I want the radicals to get a fair shake
I got the mandate
And now I feel great
I wouldn't be surprised
If people celebrate
I got the mandate
To set the job straight
And when the deed's done
I'm gonna legislate
I got eyes in the back of my head
And see
I never took a second step
I didn't need
But I can take the static
When a fanatic is looking for a piece
Of the American dream
It's automatic
It's automatic
While justice is vacationing
I got to look out for the underling
It's automatic
Where the hell are this
Jason and Nisa?
Susan, listen up.
The Lambada dancers are missing.
No, I'm not kidding.
Look, just get the Kid to fill.
I don't know for how long. This is
an emergency. Just get him to fill.
- Are you Jason and Nisa?
- Sorry we're late.
What the hell happened to you two?
- I just twisted my ankle a little.
- Right.
I'm sorry, man, but there's just
no way you can dance on that.
- Yes, I can.
- We have to dance.
- Not on this show.
- I'm telling you, I can do it.
- Please.
- Look, I'm sorry, kid...
...but you need a doctor for that.
I'm sorry.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you.
And now, music lovers, I give you...
...Miss Cory Daye, singing our new hit
song, courtesy of Columbia Records:
"It's a Horror."
It's a horror
You know my sole intention
Was to be with you
You know my sole intention
Was to follow through
I'm sure I needn't mention
That my full attention
Was forever centered on you
You know it's my contention
That you're missing screws
Father.
Joa, his ankle.
Excuse me. I'm running this show,
and the audience stays out front.
- Now, who the hell is this guy?
- He's Jason's chiropractor.
Right. And I'm the Virgin Mary.
Now, what is going on here?
Don't worry. He knows
what he's doing. Right?
You know it's my contention
That you're missing screws
You treat a fine invention
With an attitude
You know it's my contention
That your hypertension
Is a mere extension of you
It was my sole intention
It was my sole intention
It was my sole intention
To be the center of you
It was my sole intention
Thank you, Cory. Cory Daye.
I know we promised
we were gonna see a Lambada...
...but our dance couple isn't gonna
be able to make it, I'm afraid.
That's right. That's right.
Blame it on the Kid.
Your injury is serious.
To restore your ankle even for a little
time requires dangerous medicine.
How dangerous?
Don't worry, you're young and healthy.
In the jungle Joa could do more...
- ...but here- -
- Nisa, how dangerous?
Holy shit!
Oh, my God!
All right, all right.
I have good news for you. While we
were away for that commercial break...
...I got word that the dancers are okay.
Give it up! Give it up!
So we will have Lambada.
So let's give a big hand to Nisa and
Jason doing the forbidden dance:
Lambada!
Now he's gone away
Only man who's ever made me cry
Not so far away
But far enough to make me wanna die
Crying over me is what he's gonna be
When he's hit by the need of my love
Crying he will be
When he's dreaming of me
And decides that he needs
What once was
All the memories
Follow me wherever I may go
Haunting melodies
Playing in the night to let me know
Dance along with me
With the sun and the sea
Only love makes one feel
So sublime
Do a dance with me
To a love fantasy
That for one precious moment
Was mine
Dance along with me
Mr. Sun, Mr. Sea
Keep the feeling so strong
And so tender
Do a dance with me
To a love fantasy
Just for one day of total surrender
All right. Where in the world
did you learn those moves, my man?
- Nisa taught me everything I know.
- Nisa.
- That's an unusual name.
- You like?
- I love it.
- It means "princess of the forest."
My father, he's the king of our tribe.
He chose it for me.
- Hold it. Your father is a king?
- Yes, would you like to meet him?
I never say no to meeting a king.
Sure.
Is this a happening show or what?
Now we got a king.
"Kid meets King." I like that.
It's an honor, Your Majesty.
That's the idea.
I could've used two of you kings
last night on a poker game.
I'm sorry, Mr. Kid Creole, but we must
return to our home in the jungle...
- ...while it still exists.
- You live in the jungle?
In the rain forest along the Amazon.
But our home is being destroyed.
That is why we have come
to your country.
We need help to stop the destruction.
Nisa and her people are being driven
from their homeland...
...by the Petramco Corporation.
The Petramco we find
on the supermarket shelves?
That's the one. We buy products
they make every day.
Not me. Not anymore.
The rain forest is too important.
I say, if Petramco is destroying
the rain forest, then...
...we should just boycott their ass.
