[Music] I’ve got the moves, baby
You got the motion
If we got together
We’d be causing a commotion

I’ve got the moves, baby
You got the motion
If we got together
We’d be causing a commotion

You met your match when you met me
I know that you will disagree, it’s crazy
But opposites attract, you’ll see
And I won’t let you get away so easy

The love you save may be your own
Can’t fight this feeling
Aren’t you tired of being alone
You won’t admit it, but you know it’s true
It’s not a secret how I feel
When I stand next to you

I’ve got the moves, baby
You got the motion
If we got together
We’d be causing a commotion

I’ve got the moves, baby
You got the motion
If we got together
We’d be causing a commotion

I hope you find what you’re lookin’ for
Is it mine, walk through that door

We’re wastin’ time, make up your mind
And get into the groove

Then we can keep our love alive
And when it falls
We won’t let it die
It doesn’t matter if you win or lose
It’s how you play the game
So get into the groove

I’ve got the moves, baby
You got the motion
If we got together
We’d be causing a commotion

I’ve got the moves, baby
You got the motion
If we got together
We’d be causing a commotion

Causing a commotion
Causing a commotion

[FOUR YEARS LATER]

[Parole Board] Nicole Finn.

[Nikki] That's me.

[Parole Board] After reviewing your record it is the opinion of this board

that you have responded positively to the rehabilitation program. It is also our opinion that you have served sufficient time in this institution as punishment for the crime you committed. Parole granted.

[Nikki] May I smoke?

[Parole Board Officer] Yes, of course.

[Nikki] Thank you.

[Parole Board] Ms. Finn -- the terms of your parole are quite specific. As soon as you leave here you are to go directly to the bus station. You are going home to Pennsylvania. Uh, Philadelphia. You are to report immediately to your parole officer and every two weeks thereafter. Do you have any questions?

[Nikki] Yeah -- you got any mascara?

[Tiger] ROAR!

[Shipping] Holy Shit! We can't store that thing!

[Shipping] Don't worry about it. They're sending somebody down to pick it up.

[Messenger] Hi. How are ya? You got a package for ... Mr. Montgomery Bell?

[Shipping] There you go.

[Tiger] ROAR!

[Loudon] Sir, I'm not an animal trainer -- I'm a tax attorney. What's the problem?

[Shipping] I'm trying to tell you -- the messenger you sent refused to pick it up.

[Loudon] Hell, it's just a cat, right?

I mean, couldn't he put it in his satchel?

 Doesn't he have a little cat satchel?

[Shipping] Mr. Trott, when you say cat, I don't think you understand.

[Loudon] No, sir, I don't think you understand. Do you know who that cat belongs to? Montgomery Bell.

[Shipping] Yeah? The real estate guy?

[Loudon] Look, Shipping. Bell is my career, okay? Montgomery Bell equals Trott's career. Now, I need that cat uptown.

[Beeping]

[Shipping] What's that sound?

[Loudon] That's my fiancee.

[Wendy] Good morning, Dunbar.

[Priscilla] Congratulations, Ms. Worthington.

[Wendy] Thank you, Priscilla.

[Employee] Congratulations!

[Wendy] Thank you.

[Mildred] Oh, congratulations Ms. Worthington.

[Wendy] Thank you, Mildred.

[Loudon] Well, I understand that. I understand that.

[Wendy] Stop it!

[Loudon] Hold on one sec. Hi, Wendy, I'll be with you in a moment.

[Wendy] Loudon, did you call the caterers?

[Loudon] Yes, I did dear. It's all taken care of.

[Wendy] I called them too, just to be sure. Oh, by the way, my cousin Heidi can't make it.

So that leaves only 94 for my side.

[Loudon] Well, honey, just why don't you take one from my side?

Okay?

 I'm sorry. I can't hear what you're saying.

[Shipping] I said the little kitty cat can't stay here. Nobody comes and picks it up by closing, I'm going to put it back on the boat.

[Loudon] Oh, no. No, no, no. Do not do that. Do you hear me?

I'm going to come by after I pick up the tux, at 11:25. Now listen -- this animal is very valuable to me so if you could keep your eye on it, you know, don't, don't let it out of it's cage.

[Shipping] Right. He suggests we keep it in a cage.

[Tiger] ROAR!

[Wendy] Darling, don't forget. 11:10 you're being fitted for your tuxedo, and you're meeting us at 12:30 for lunch.

[Loudon] Got it. I'm on top of it here.

[Employee] So where are the two of you going for your honeymoon?

[Wendy] Oh -- we've decided to postpone our honeymoon for a couple of years.

Daddy has big plans for Loudon. There'll be plenty of time for fun later.

[Beeping]

[Loudon] It's Master's voice.

[Wendy] My father is waiting for us upstairs.

[Everyone] Oh.

[Wendy] Loudon, I want you to know this prenuptial thing wasn't my idea.

[Loudon] I know that dear.

[Employee] Now which lace did you choose?

[Wendy] None of them!

[Employee] Oh.

[Loudon] Can I help you?

[Wendy] Loudon! This is Buck. We're receiving so many presents, they've assigned us our own E.P.C. driver. We have arrived!

[Buck] How's it hangin'?

[Loudon] It's, uh, hangin' okay. Thanks for asking, Buck.

***

[Nikki] Doom doom, mm, mm! Doom doom, mm mm!

Doom doom, mm mm! Doom doom, mm mm! Doom doom, mm mm! Doom doom, mwa.

Doom doom, mm mm! Doom doom, mm mm! Doom doom, mwa.

Doom doom, mm mm! Doom doom ...

[Mr. Worthington] But she's only served four years. I understood she was going to do the full seven. Good behavior? I see. And where is she going? Philadelphia? And her parole officer there is expecting her? Uh- huh. How can you make sure she gets on the bus?

So your people won't actually see her get on the bus? Well, thanks for calling Milton, and I really appreciate it. Give my love to Lisa and little Kenny and Devin.

I mean your wife, Phyllis. You have no kids.

[Wendy] Daddy -- which of these do you like for our stemware?

[Mr. Worthington] Honey, it's your wedding. It's your decision entirely.

PING!

[Mr. Worthington] That one.

[Wendy] I win!

[Lackey Attorney] Just finished, Mr. Worthington!

[Mr. Worthington] Ah! Good work, boys.

Ha ha!

Well, here we are, son. Just sign there.

[PRE-NUPTIAL AGREEMENT]

[Loudon] What's this? What are these?

[Mr. Worthington] Oh, just a few do's and dont's. You don't have to read it, son. Basically, what it says is that everything I own -- the cars, the houses, the business --

someday none of it will be yours.

[Mrs. Worthington] Isn't this civilized?

[Mr. Worthington] Done.

Now, everyone, if you would, excuse me? I would like to talk to my son-in-law alone for a moment.

[Wendy] EEK!

[Mrs. Worthington] Be gentle with him, dear.

[Loudon] Sir, I think I know what you're going to say, and I want you to know ...

that I will try to make Wendy as happy as I can.

[Mr. Worthington] Oh, hell, that doesn't matter, son, as long as you sign the agreement. Something came up today, Loudon.

A woman named Nicki Finn is being paroled from Rockford Correctional this afternoon. They're sending her home to Philadelphia.

 I want you to drive her to the bus station.

[Loudon] That's it?

[Mr. Worthington] That's it. Drive her to the bus station.

It's a mile and a half. It will take you five minutes.

I want to make sure she gets on the bus.

[Loudon] Who is she? A client?

[Mr. Worthington] No, no, no. This is a public service policy the firm is trying to initiate.

We're trying to give back something to the community.

[Loudon] You mean, like a charity?

[Mr. Worthington] Exactly.

[Loudon] What have you done with the real Mr. Worthington?

[Sword] [WHOOSH, WHOOSH]

[Loudon] Listen, Sir, today is really the worst possible day for me.

[Mr. Worthington] I was thrilled when you and Wendy decided to get engaged. You know that?

[Loudon] Sir, you set my desk on fire.

[Mr. Worthington] No, I didn't.

[Loudon] Yes, Sir. You burst into my office with a five gallon can of gasoline --

[Mr. Worthington] I overreacted, I can see that now.

My point is, you have tremendous potential, Loudon.

Partner. Senior Partner. And you know why? You can be counted on.

[Loudon] Alright. Alright. Let me just see here. Uh, I can squeeze it in between Bell's cat and lunch, I guess.

[Mr. Worthington] Good. I won't forget this, Loudon.

Operation Prisoner Shuttle is very important to me.

Now remember -- put the girl on the bus personally.

I know you won't let me down.

[JAIL DOOR SLAMS]

[Prisoner] Yo.

[Nikki] Cigarette concession's all yours, Judy.

[Judy] Thanks, Nikki. Don't do nothin' I wouldn't do, eh?

[Nikki] They haven't invented what you wouldn't do.

Later Marilyn.

[Marilyn] Later, Nikki baby.

[Gay Guard] Come on! Move it!

[HORN PLAYS MELODY]

[Loudon] Hello, I spoke to you on the phone. I'm here to pick up Mr. Montgomery Bells' cat.

[Tiger] [ROAR!]

[Loudon] Oh, shit!

This thing ate Mr. Bell's cat?'

[Shipping] No, Einstein, that is the cat.

GROWL!

[Shipping] Look, one Patagonian Felis Concolor. Says here, they're almost extinct. There's only four of them left in the world. Apparently, this species only mates once every 26 months. It says here tonight's the night. Sign on the X.

[Loudon] Well, what's it supposed to eat?

[Shipping] Probably shit-for-brain uptown attorneys.

[Shipping] Ha ha ha!

***

[Music] Turn it up! Turn it up!

[Guard] One black leather jacket.

One plastic comb, blue. Two leather-studded bracelets, black. And one lipstick -- fire-engine red.

[Gay Guard] All your worldly possessions.

[Nikki] Don't knock it Donovan. You can't get this shade of red anymore.

[Butch Cop] She hasn't changed since I busted her four years ago.

[Gay Cop] Well, I still say we're wasting our time.

[Butch Cop] Maybe, maybe not.

I always had a hunch somebody else was involved in the case. I think she's going to try and find whoever it is.

[Gay Cop] Do you think she knows we're here?

***

[Tiger] ROAR!

[Nikki] Need some help with that, Donovan?  I'm out of here.

[Gay Guard] You ain't free till you're through that door.

Move it!

[Loudon] Hello. I'm here to pick up a Miss Nicole Finn.

[Guard] That's her.

[Nikki] Am I free now?

[Gay Guard] Yeah, you're free.

[Nikki] Good.

[PUNCH]

[Gay Guard] Did you see what she did? Get her back in here, now!

[Guard] You want her back here?

[Gay Guard] Hell, no!

[Nikki] Be nice.

[Loudon] Excuse me. Sorry, sorry.

Excuse me, Miss Finn? Miss Finn?

Excuse me! Miss Finn?

[Nikki] Hello.

[Loudon] Hello. My name is Trott, Louden Trott. I'm an attorney with Worthington, Ferris and Clarke ...

and we're initiating a new public service program. It's called "Operation Prisoner Shuttle."

[Nikki] Operation Prisoner Shuttle?

[Loudon] Yes. What we do is provide recently paroled people ...

such as yourself, rides to wherever they wish to go.

[Nikki] Isn't that sweet? Is that your car, Loudon?

[Loudon] Yes. Well no, it's not my car, it's my family's car. Well, they're not really my family yet.

I'm more of a Volvo man, myself. It's a pretty car, just a little overstated for my taste. But it um --

[ENGINE STARTS]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[Loudon] Excuse me.

Not funny. Alright, alright, just stop right here.

[Gay Cop] No, no, no babe, let's take this car.

[Butch Cop] What?

[Gay Cop] This thing says undercover cop all over it.

[Butch Cop] Yeah, right -- we'll take the one that has pretentious asshole written all over it.

Oh, God! Oh!

[Gay Cop] Don't slam -- God.

[Loudon] Fine, fine. Just go straight ahead. The bus station's straight ahead.

GROWL!

[Nikki] Neat! You got a tiger.

[Loudon] No, it's a Patagonian Felis Concolor. There's only four of them left in the whole world. Going on three.

[Nikki] What's his name? Hi, baby.

[Loudon] Lady, I don't know his name, I'm just delivering him. Where's my seat belt?!

[Nikki] How about Murray?

[Loudon] How about Murray what?

[Nikki] How about Murray the tiger? If there's only four left, it's not likely there's another Murray. Am I right?

[Loudon] I guess there's a certain logic to that?

[HORN HONKS]

[Loudon] Oh dear Lord.

[Nikki] Hang on, Murray!

[Loudon] God. God.

[Nikki] Hey -- a mall!

[Loudon] Are you out of your mind?

Easy! Please no! Holy smoke!

[Nikki] See -- you park on the slant so nobody scratches.

[Loudon] Okay, that's it. Fine. Nobody's hurt. Nobody's hurt.

[Nikki] Loudon, don't be mad at me, okay? It's just that I've been stuck in that cage for four years ...

and I just went a little crazy, and it won't happen again.

[Loudon] You're right! You're right! This will not happen again!

[Nikki] But as long as we're here, can we go in for a few seconds?

[Loudon] No!

[Nikki] Please?

[Loudon] No!

[Nikki] Why not? My bus doesn't leave for a half hour and I can't go back to Philly ...

without any presents for my mom -- she thinks I've been shopping.

[Loudon] Shopping? For four years?

[Nikki] Uh-huh. So I can't exactly go back empty-handed because it isn't very nice.

[Loudon] Alright, alright. Fifteen minutes and then straight to the bus station. You promise?

[Nikki] Promise.

[Loudon] Who are you?

[Gay Cop] Who's the guy?

[Butch Cop] I don't know.

A wild card.

Damn it!

[Gay Cop] Hey! Listen, don't slam, don't --

***

[Nikki] What?

[Loudon] Come on, Miss Finn, it's getting late.

Hey, look -- the clerk forgot to take the tag off this one!

[Nikki] How about that.

[BEEPING]

[Loudon] Well, that's it. Fifteen minutes. Come on, come on. I'm getting worried about the cat.

The Patagonian Felis. Murray.

[Nikki] Is there a later bus?

[Loudon] No. No. There's not.

[Nikki] Isn't there a 1:45?

[Loudon] No, they canceled that one. It was in the paper this morning.

[Nikki] Ah, gee, because there's something else I gotta do.

[Loudon] Oh, now, come on. We had a deal. You said you would go straight to the bus station.

[Nikki] I will. Just gotta make a little detour.

To 735 135th street, Apartment 6.

[Loudon] That's Harlem. What's in Harlem?
