"We'll treat you like a King." "What about Serge?" "He decided to leave?" "We made the decision for him." "Bastien?" "Mimi!" "Waiting for someone?" "No, I had my driver drop me off... didn't want to be stuck in traffic in front of the Starlight." "Is that a new car?" " Do you like it?" "I'm not sure yet." "Are you nuts?" "It fits you like a glove." "Wanna try it?" "Jump in, gorgeous." "Get lost, asshole!" "Whoa!" "Calm down..." "Something to drink?" "Yes, please." "Another crazy night, hum?" "Yeah." "Have fun, Mimi."

"You could test the demo later on." "Here's the tape. it's already cued." "Huh... yeah." "You'd better ask the DJ, he's in charge of the music." "He told me you were in charge." "He told you that, hum?" "The thing is..." "I don't think we can play French records." "That's not really our sound..." "Alright?" "Have fun, Mimi." "Okay, we can talk about it later." "I have to ask you..." "I heard Serge wasn't coming back on the show?" "You heard that?" " Yeah." "Rumor says the show's yours." "I knew it!" "Good for you!" "You deserve it." "Can you count that for me, please?" "Bunch of idiots!" "I'm busting my balls to put Montreal on the map and those cocksuckers are gonna ruin it all!" "Unbelievable..." "So, where's Mick Jagger?" "Helen, what happened with the Mick Jagger thing?" "His people told me he's coming next week." "That's it!" "I'm going to see my friends at the 1234." "The 1234?" "That rat hole?" "Come on!" "Why don't you tell your friends to come here?" "No Mick Jagger, no friends." "See how you make me look?" "Mick Jagger will be here for sure." "Helen, tell my dad what Jagger's people said." "Mick Jagger's assistant said David Bowie told him to come here because it's just like Studio 54." "You hear that, Dad?" "We're hot!" "Yeah, really hot." "If the Starlights just like Studio 54, why would Mick Jagger bother to come here?" "Yeah, but..." "Goddammit, didn't I teach you anything?" "We're not "just like Studio 54", we're better!" "Shit, we were there before they were!" "Way before!" "Helen, can you go check if Jonathan is here yet?" "Thanks." "Don't talk to me like that in front of my assistant." "You mean my assistant." "Your assistant?" "Who paid for this place?" "That was a loan." "Did you pay me back?" "Huh?" "Did you?" "No." "Exactly." "My disco, my office, my assistant." "Let's dance." " No, no." "No, go ahead." "Hello, people!" "Listen up, everybody," "I have a special announcement to make."

"Congratulations, Bastien!" "Come join me on stage!" "Thanks, Daniel." "Hello, Starlight!" "Unfortunately, I have some bad news for you." "The show has a major problem, but maybe you could help me." "Disco Dance Party has a shortage of good dancers." "So I want to know." "Here, tonight, are you ready to audition..." "for my show?" "Get on the dance floor!" "You have 5 minutes to win me over." "I don't know if you agree with me, but I think we have our winners!" "Come join me on stage." "What's your name?" "Congratulate our winners!" "Sorry, Jonathan, not my doing." "Daniel's the one who called me on stage." "Okay, no problem." "Make sure it doesn't happen again." "Hi, Princess." "Hi." " Sleep well?" "Like a baby." "But I was supposed to take her to school this morning." "Tomorrow, Princess." "I promise." "That's okay, Dad." "GOGO QUEEN GOES GAGA" "Is that your big comeback plan?" "My plan beats yours." "I'm not your producer anymore, Marie-Mireille." "I have no plan." "Mimi." "Mimi, Bibi, Kiki, I don't give a shit!" "I came hereto make myself clear:" "when the papers call, you don't drop my name!" "For 10 years, you pushed me to drop your name everywhere." "You're rich and famous now thanks to who?" "You owe me, Gilles." " According to your contract, I don't." "Did you tell Daniel not to play my demo?" "You think I have time to manage the Starlight?" "Just tell him to play my song!" "I won't tell him anything." "Without your clout, no radio station will air my single unless some disco plays it first, and your disco snubs it because it's in French!" "Gilles, you're the one who told me to stick to French." "So?" " So?" "!" "I sank all my money into this demo... and no one wants to play it because it's in French!" "I never told you to record a disco song in French." "But... you told me gogo was over at least 200 times." "Marie-Mireille, you're not gonna cry, are you?" "I have to record an English demo." "It won't make any difference." "Your song's no good." "Listen, let's make a deal, ok?" "Stay away from photographers, stop talking about me... and I'll see if Charlebois could write something for you." "Who else are you gonna suggest?" "Janette Bertrand?" "I don't want the hippy-dippy stuff, I want a disco song!" "Your accents too thick for an English song." "But I can sing!" "That's my only talent." "Don't take that away from me, Gilles." "Come on." "Let's make another hit." "You and me, just like old times..." "Don't start." "You'd do a lot better with me instead of wasting your time with that prepubescent slut..." "Karine!" "Her name's Karen." "Please lower your voice." "Hey!" "I'm flat broke." "I'm on welfare, for Christ's sake." "I'll scream if I want to." "Listen, I have to go." "I'll pay for your breakfast... and I'll look into your English demo." "But after that I'm dead to you, alright?" "Oh, and by the way... it wouldn't kill you to lose a few pounds." "Letting yourself go, Marie-Mireille, that's not gonna help." "That was Wild Cherry, with Play that Funky Music." "Remember, the band will be coming to Montreal next week to play its smash hits." "I'll give you more details after the break." "LONG LIVE LOVE" "Thank you, thank you." "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a new edition of Disco Dance Party!" "Wow, the crowd in here is on fire!" "We've got quite a show for you tonight."

"Unbelievable!" "Do you need a lift?" "Oh no, I'll grab a cab." " No, no," "I assure you, it's no hassle." "Okay." "Hi, Princess." "Everything's okay?" " Huh-uh." "Why isn't she speaking French?" "I don't speak English." "Look at all those trophies." "We're not handing them out, Karen already won them." "She simply wants to show them to us." "What you're holding here is a gold record..."

"I got 8,000 a month last year!" "If you can't afford it, take your stupid local plumbing shop elsewhere." "It's a stupid local printing shop." "Two thousand or nothing." "Two thousand five?" " Deal." "Mr. Lefebvre, your son's on the line." "Later." "I'm busy." "VVhat's his fucking problem?" "Bastien, it's hard enough to get you auditions..." "What do you mean by that?" "You're good, but film producers don't want to see a disco TV host." "If you want to be in a movie, drop that TV show." "You and your two-bit Canadian film director won't tell me what to do!" "I have more experience than all of these assholes..." "Not in film, Bastien!" "Not in film." "She's here!" "I told you she wasn't dead." "I thought Kiki was joking." "When she said you were a waitress," "I told her: no way!" "You're cute." "I brought your records just in case." "Will you sign them for me?" "You have them all?" "You didn't believe me, uh?" "Yeah." "Where the fuck is she?" "What the hell is this?" "Didn't I tell you to ignore those clowns?" "The French Office sent us an official warning." "The Language Police, come on!" "What are they gonna do?" "Throw you in jail?" "Starlight is an English word." "I had to change the name altogether or call it "Le Starlight."" "Or else we'll pay a huge fine." "I'm not paying for that goddamn "Le", You can deduct it from your salary." "Yeah, yeah." "Tell your DJ to get a setup ready for Saturday." "We'll host a special presentation." "I don't think there's room on Saturday." "Make room!" "I'm launching a new single." "The singer'll be there, I want a big show." "You know I can't put Karen on." " it's not Karen!" "Who is it?" "You'll see on Saturday." "But I can't program artists without knowing who they are." "I'll be back." "Don't you dare humiliate me like that ever again!" "I'm your father, I deserve your respect." "And I don't?" "Respect has to be earned, son." "And you won't earn mine by kissing the PQ's ass." "VVhat's going on?" "Nothing." "There's the single." "Don't let me down." "Can I say something?" "Go ahead." "Why do you let your father treat you that way?" "Huh..." "He treats everybody that way." "No." "He's different with you." "He's... violent." "You think I should... react?" "The thing is," "I shouldn't have asked him to lend me the money for the disco." "I put myself in this situation." "Still, it's not right." "Don't worry about me now." "After 30 years, I know the score." "You want to come in for coffee?" "Or some Irish Cream?" "Well, I'd like to, but..." "I have to get up early tomorrow." "I'm needed at the office." "The accounts are late." "You work all the time, don't you?" "Well, I gotta work a little... if I want to get rid of the old man one day." "If you need help, call me." "Anytime." "Okay." "Thanks."

""Adriana", the singer, is she my Adriana?" "Yes, we'd have waited for you, but my father wanted to stay on schedule." "Fuck..." "Where is she?" "They left an hour ago." "Sorry, I..." "She left?" "With who?" "I don't know." "See you later, okay?" "The evidence clearly shows that you were frequently under the influence of illegal drugs." "In fact, Mr. Lavallée, the worst part of this sad story isn't that you slowed down these procedures by missing this hearing twice." "It's that you don't even realize how inappropriate it would be to grant you custody of your daughter." "Anyway, it would have taken a better lawyer than yourself to convince me." "The Court grants full custody of Cynthia Lavallée... to Connie Lavallée." "Thank you." "I don't know, call the cops." "No, no, not the cops." "Call..." "I don't know!" "Shit, Linda, can you tell me why I don't just fire you?" "What's the problem?" "If she's still here in 5 minutes, call Security." "Bastien, 15 minutes..." "Oh God!" " it's okay." "Do you..."

"Okay, let's start with tonight's big star." "Boule Noire is with us!" "Yeah!" "I'm being told that Boule Noire isn't here." "Sorry, ladies and gentlemen." "Boule Noire was supposed to be here." "I don't understand what's going on, but we'll resolve this." "Will someone tell me what's going on?" "I look like a fucking moron." "So..." "We're off the air." "Fuck!" "Will someone tell me what's happening on my own goddamn show?" "Jacques, can you take care of these incompetent fucks?" "I look like an ass!" "Come here, Bastien." " Don't touch me!" "Jonathan, take his place." " No, no." "It's all right, I'm alright." "No, no." "Bastien..." "Go home." "Let me work, we're two minutes to air." "Come on." " Don't fucking touch me!" "Hey, you two, come here." "I need your help." "Get him out of here." "Are you serious?" "Let go." "Don't touch me." "God damn it!" " You're fired!" "Fuck you, this is MY show!" "I can do whatever the fuck I want!" "Let go!" "Get him out!" "Go on, get ready." "Forget him, we're having fun, let's go." "Phone call, Mr. Lefebvre." "Yeah?" "Move out of the way!" "Go back home, she doesn't want to talk to you!" "Shut up, I'm not talking to you!" "Hey, stop!" "I'm not done talking!" "You'll have to run me over, asshole!" "Are you nuts?" "VVhat's that?" "An ethnic dance company?" "They're lawyers." "What do they want?" "Remember your remake of I Love to Love?" "That's Karen's song." "What about it?" "She won an award for it?" "Yeah, a Juno." "So what?" "They heard about it." "So?" "Shoot, Laurent!" "What the hell is their problem?" "Columbia and Capitol Records found out that since 1960, at least 80 of their songs have been translated and sold without their permission in the province of Quebec... by Gilles Lefebvre Management Inc." "Michel?" "Hi, it's Bastien..." "Lavallée..." "Fine, how about you?" "..." "I know, that show was a mess." "What a bunch of incompetent losers..." "Listen..." "I heard you were producing a sitcom..." "Got a bit part in it for me?" "Thanks." "I'm a bit short, I'll pay you next week." "Do you need your legs this week?" "That's what I thought." "Hey, boss, this doesn't work." "People aren't interested and it's really hot in here." "Problem is, your Wiener smells." "Who told you that?" " Your wife." "Let's improve your costume to make it real." "Here." "Go do your job." "Children, it's time to reveal what's in and what's out." "What's at the top of the OUT list?" "None other than..." "The Casa Crescent, children." "The decor hasn't been upgraded since 1976 and the last star to set foot inside was..." "Nobody." "So if you want to be "in cross the street when you stroll past Casa Crescent..." "Hi, Dad." "Hey, Princess." "You okay?" "I'm all right." "I hope... you didn't see the sitcom." "It was pretty bad." "It was live." "I saw it." "Yeah?" "You were very good." "Great even." "Thanks." "Princess, I want to apologize for what happened with your friends." "I'm sorry, baby. it's my fault." "I acted like an idiot." "That's okay." "They'll get over it." "Coming in for dinner?" "No, I..." "I can't, honey." "I have to go." "Maybe tomorrow?" "We could go out, you and I?" "Just us?" "Just us." "Okay." "Your dinner'll get cold." "I miss you, Dad." "I miss you too, Princess." "I love you, you know that, right?" "One hour' wait in line..." "You think I have nothing better to do?" "Where were you?" "I didn't know we had a meeting." "We need to talk." "The club's doing good?" "Never better." " Great." "Because I'm selling it." "What?" "This is the trendiest disco in North America!" "I'm moving to Toronto." "I need money." "I'm selling the club, that's it." "But..." " No buts." "You sell property when it's worth something." "That's called doing good business, boy." "Couldn't you show a little respect for your son's achievements?" "Helen, no..." " 'Scuse me?" "How can you show up dressed in blue at the White Party and treat your son like a failure?" "No one needs to tell you you're a success." "No one ever told me!" "Maybe if someone had, you wouldn't be such an asshole." "When I talk to my son, shut the fuck up!" "H hey!" "I'm sick of you, Dad." "What is it gonna take for you to leave us?" "Your money?" "If I pay you back, is that gonna do it?" "Where will you get that kind of money, idiot?" "God damn it." "Helen... go ahead." "We'll wait for you right here." "What's this?" "Garbage... for garbage." "It's all there..." "Your loan and interest at bank rates." "And a little extra because you're such a good dad." "Did you steal from the club?" "You stole from me then..." "I didn't steal anything." "I took my cut, that's all." "On the coke, the poppers." "That's called doing good business, Dad." "You think you can talk to me like that?" "Think so?" "Fuck!" "Get your hands off me!" "Fuck me." "You kicked my ass!" "I'm just like you now." "You must be proud." "Your club, uh?" "My club, my assistant... my money." "You're okay, Mr. Lefebvre?" " Oh yeah." "Garbage for garbage?" "Nice touch." "There is a little bit of me in him after all." "Jonathan?" "Phone call for you." "It sounds urgent." "Who's that?" " Kiki." "Who?" " Kiki and the Kookoo Gals." "Hey, girls." "Congratulations, you guys are great." "Do you have a minute?" "My name's Gilles Lefebvre, I'm a record producer." "Ever thought of a career in Toronto?" "If you want to talk business, our manager's right there." "Liberal party headquarters during referendum" "Hey, my little man!" "How are you, little man?" "it's Daddy." "I have good news." "We 're going to put Toronto on the map." "Happy dreams, my boy." "Kiss-kiss." "I'll tuck you in when I get back." "It was impossible to ascertain whether Bastien's death by overdose was deliberate or accidental." "The investigation in Sabrina's murder disclosed Bastien Lavallée as a suspect, but his involvement was never proven." "Jonathan Aaronson was diagnosed with AIDS in 1982." "He exiled himself to New York to die in the company of the greatest Broadway stars." "Mimi propelled Kiki and her band to the top of the charts." "Today, she's still one of the most powerful talent agents in Canada." "Hi Dad." "Hello Junior!" "We finally found our spot." "No more winters for us." "No phone, no" "No show business." "We got fed up with the loud disco music night after night, so we decided to replace the Starlight... with this!" "Helen is on the terrace." "Our View is breathtaking." "Let me show you." "Helen!" "Say hi to my dad." "Hi, ML Lefebvre!" "Hi, Adriana!" "Hi, Junior!" "This is the view." "If you'd like to see it in person, you guys are welcome anytime." "it'll be great to see you." "In the end, I didn't do so bad, hey dad?" "See you soon, I hope." "Big kisses!"
