Dialogue


Vivian Pressman
(Addressing Moe)
Win big, Moe -- as always.

(Addressing Johnny)
This is our last night together, lover. I've got something worked out for us.

Johnny Castle
(Addressing Moe)
Excuse me, sir. The pirate number's next.

Moe Pressman
Oh, yeah, thanks.

Hey, kid. You know I play cards all weekend. I've got an all-night game tonight. Why don't you give my wife some extra dance lessons?

Johnny Castle
I'm sorry, Mr. Pressman, but I'm booked up for the whole weekend with the show. I won't have time for anything else. I don't think it'd be fair to take the money.

Song Lyrics

Hula Hana

Who’s this hula hana, of Kamana Whala Hula Bay?
She will hula when you have a lovely gift she wants, you’ll hear her say,
Bring me a pineapple that doesn't sting a bird that swims a fish that sings,
I wanna, I really wanna.

Bring me a volcano that blows up all the molten jama and a blue banana.
I canna canna.
Bring me a pineapple that doesn't sting a bird that swims a fish that sings,
I wanna, I really wanna.
Bring me a volcano that blows up all the molten jama and a blue banana.
I canna canna.

And you can wackle all you wanna, while I hula all the day away.

All the boys of Okakokanoka island, gather all the gifts that hula hana asks.
They have combed their island home, fulfilling each one,
And its worth it when they watch her shake her grass, three, four, five…

Bring me a gentle breeze that I can keep, an ocean that’s oh so deep,
I wanna, I really wanna.

She will hula when you have a lovely gift she wants, you’ll hear her say,
Bring me a pineapple that doesn't sting a bird that swims a fish that sings.
I wanna, I really wanna.

Bring me a volcano that blows up all the molten jama and a blue banana.
I canna canna.

And you can wackle all you wanna,
You can wackle while I walk away.
