Dialogue
Neil Kellerman
Are you going to major in English?
Baby Houseman
No. Economics of underdeveloped countries. I'm going into the Peace Corps.
Neil Kellerman
After the final show, I'm going to Mississippi with a couple of busboys, freedom ride.
Max Kellerman
(Addressing the dancing guests from the stage)
This is our own Tito Suarez.
Neil Kellerman
Mambo! Yeah! Come on!
(Johnny Castle and Penny Johnson come onto the dance floor and begin dancing)
Baby Houseman
Who's that?
Neil Kellerman
Oh, them. They're the dance people. They're here to keep the guests happy. They shouldn't show off with each other. That's not gonna sell lessons.
Jake Houseman
(Dancing with Marjorie, addresses Baby and Neil)
Hi, kids. Having fun?
Neil Kellerman
(Addressing Jake)
Yeah. Actually, I've gotta excuse myself. I'm in charge of the games tonight.
(Addressing Baby)
Say, would you like to help me get things started?
Jake Houseman
Sure she would.
Song Lyrics
None
While Johnny and Penny dance, the band plays the song "Johnny's Mambo".
Remarks
Notice that Tito Suarez and his band mates are pretty much the only members of the entertainment staff whom Max treats with any kind of respect.
ReplyDeleteMax and Tito are more in the same age bracket. Also maybe playing instruments/conducting was higher up on the social totem pole
