[alarm ringing]

[MR. MALNOROWSKI] Get your cigarettes. Penny a piece.
Six for a nickel.

[MRS. MALNOROWSKI] Ah, you owe me from yesterday, young man.

[YOUNG MAN] Please, look, look, I'll pay you tomorrow.

[MRS. MALNOROWSKI] Wouldn't you like to have one?

[YOUNG MAN] Oh, come on, just a drag.

[MRS. MALNOROWSKI] [snickering]

[YOUNG MAN] Just a drag!

[MRS. MALNOROWSKI] No cash, no tobacco. Go on, scram.
Hey, Mona!
Get over here and help your poor mother.
[coughing]

[people chattering]

[MAGGIE]: Hi, kids.
Remember, always look both ways before crossing.

[WANDA] Mother!

[MAGGIE]: We're having your favorite supper tonight, Wanda.
Potatoes au gratin.

[DRAPES] Mmm.

[MAGGIE]: Now walk.
Look left, look right.
That's right, then walk. Good teenagers.
Are you gonna work this summer?

[music playing on car stereo]

[HECTOR] Wanda, honey.
You want a ride home with Dad?

[WANDA] I got a lift. Thanks, anyway.

[HECTOR] We could count out-of-state license plates.
I saw one this morning all the way up from Virginia.

[WANDA] Dad, would you just leave me alone?

[HECTOR] Bye, honey.

[Song playing] [Woman] O look, daddy, you're so cool
But I can't break my momma's rules
She would have to see what's in your family tree
Before she would let you come home just for me.

[Man] Oh, you thinking about marriage

[Woman] Now and then

[Man] Oh, you goin' pretty steady

[Woman] Now and then

[ALLISON] I am so tired of being good.

[Song playing] [Man] Well, I think I'm ready

[Woman] This is what you need
Do you have plenty money?

[Man] Yes, I do

[Woman] Tell me, is it all in cash?

[Man] Just for you

[Woman] Will you give me all your lovin'?

[Man] If you're true

[Woman] Then I will love you long as well

[ALLISON] Hi.

[WADE] Well.
You're a pretty little Square.
Want to hang out with us Drapes tonight?

[LENORA] [groaning]

[MRS. VERNON-WILLIAMS] Allison Vernon-Williams, get in this car.

[BALDWIN] What's the trouble, honey?
These hoodlums bothering you?

[ALLISON] No, no, we were just talking.
Grandmother, Baldwin, this is Wade Walker.

[WADE] They call me Cry-Baby.
This here is my sister, Pepper.

[PEPPER] Greetings, Granny-o.

[BALDWIN] Allison's my girl, so hands off, Cry-Baby.

[WADE] You could have fooled me, Square.
Mrs. Vernon-Williams, I hear you're having a talent show
out at your charm school today.

[MRS. VERNON WILLIAMS] I can barely imagine what you would call music.

[WADE] I can sing pretty good.

[MRS. VERNON WILLIAMS] "Well," not "good."
Haven't you ever heard of the English language?

[PEPPER] Don't go flip out, mama.

[HATCHET-FACE] Yeah. Sometimes shook-up old ladies
get cut.

[BALDWIN] Come on, honey.
They're just bums.

[WANDA] Mr. Puniverse wants a fat lip.

[ALLISON] I'd like to hear you sing.

[MRS. VERNON WILLIAMS] I will say this once and once only.
Stay away from my granddaughter,
you common juvenile delinquents.

[ALLISON] It was nice talking to you all.

[Song playing] [Woman] Just you and me

[Man] Go see our father

[Woman] Just you and me

[Man] Tell our sisters and our brothers

[Woman] Just you and me

[WADE] Let's go.

[all cheering]

[Song playing] [Man] That you're going to marry me

***

[MRS. VERNON WILLIAMS] The prettiest and most talented girl in school
and yet she socializes with Drapes.

[BALDWIN] We're Squares, Allison, and Squares got to stick together.

[ALLISON] Yeah, but Drapes are people, too.
They just look different.
Maybe Cry-Baby can sing.
Something cool, something hep.

[MRS. VERNON WILLIAMS] And where did you learn those vulgar jazz words?
Your poor dead parents would turn over in their graves.

[BALDWIN] It's those jukebox records she listens to.
Honey, his kind of music isn't even on the Hit Parade.

[ALLISON] How can I think when you're always touching me?

[MRS. VERNON WILLIAMS] I have told you, Baldwin,
a young lady does not like to be pawed.

[HATCHET-FACE] [laughing]

[Women and Cadillacs by The Nite Riders playing on car stereo]The woman want a Cadillac,
she don't want no man
I used to have a woman,
said she loved me so
I used to have a woman,
said she loved me so

[PEPPER] I think Cry-Baby's got a girlfriend.
