00:00:00And you don't stop, and you don't quit.
00:00:25Now I'm the man with the plan, and the b-boy stance, and all the ladies in the jam know who I am, with the power to make it move, when I write a groove, I don't snooze, I kick it off nice and smooth, and when the beat goes down, feet hit the ground, the breakers start spinning all round and round, and everybody don't stop, cause we don't stop, we just rock, you feel it, we don't need those drops.
00:00:55We don't take this right.

00:02:02Hey, grab those boxes and put them in the living room.
00:02:04We gotta get the truck back in an hour, so hurry up!
00:02:06Take those damn headphones off!
00:02:09Didn't you learn your lesson about having those things on?
00:02:11You're not my father.
00:02:12You weren't even there.
00:02:13Why do you think we're moving now?
00:02:14And I was working!
00:02:15Yeah, you're always working, Eladio!
00:02:17Because I got to.
00:02:18Maybe I wouldn't have to if our pops was worth a damn, huh?
00:02:20Who's gonna take care of this family if not me?
00:02:22You?
00:02:25I do what I got to to help mommy.
00:02:27And the best way you can help is to stop daydreaming
00:02:29and think about how you can pitch in around here.
00:02:31I'm not gonna have mommy working three jobs
00:02:33while you're in La La Land.
00:02:35You're very good!
00:02:36Okay, What do you think?

00:03:07Oh, I need nothing.
00:03:10Oh, I need nothing.
00:03:13If you don't want it all, I don't want nothing at all.
00:03:20If you don't want it all, I don't want nothing at all.
00:03:27Nothing at all.
00:03:29Show me now that you really mean it, are you playing for games?
00:03:36Ooh, Nikki don't get you.
00:03:45Have a good one.
00:03:49Sorry.
00:03:50I'm here now.
00:03:55Oh, they need some air-conditioning back here.
00:03:58How many of these are we gonna dress?
00:04:06Damn!
00:04:07I need a favor.
00:04:08No.
00:04:09Please, Lisa.
00:04:10Mm-mm.
00:04:11Last time I got into trouble because of you.
00:04:13Please, I know a place where we can make double what we were making before.
00:04:17I need the money.
00:04:19I know you do too.
00:04:24One hour.
00:04:25But that's it, okay?
00:04:27Okay, okay.
00:04:28Oh, we're getting drunk.
00:04:29Okay, we're getting drunk.
00:04:44We'll be here all night.
00:04:45Damn.
00:04:46I gotta go.
00:04:47My brother told me to pick up stuff for dinner and he's gonna kill me.
00:04:48Okay.
00:04:49All right.
00:04:50Oh, my gosh.

00:05:00Damn.
00:05:01I gotta go.
00:05:02OK.
00:05:03My brother told me to pick up stuff for dinner and he's gonna kill me.
00:05:06OK.
00:05:07All right.
00:05:08Thanks.
00:05:09Oh, my gosh.
00:05:10Here's you.
00:05:22Look, I'm going to cook a chicken with a chicken.
00:05:32Do you think you want to eat?
00:05:35Put the meat in the oven.
00:05:39It's something like other things.
00:05:41I'm eating, let me eat.
00:05:44Thank you, Mommy.
00:06:09You don't worry about this.
00:06:11You hear me?
00:06:13We came here to stuff fresh.
00:06:16Okay?
00:06:20One day I'll be so rich, Mommy.
00:06:22I'm going to take care of you.
00:06:23I'm going to buy you a new car.
00:06:27Mamita, the only thing I want you to do is to take care of yourself.
00:06:32Don't ever count on anybody taking care of you.
00:06:35Okay?
00:06:36Yeah.
00:06:39But if you just so happen to be rich...
00:06:41What?
00:06:42Do you want to come for us?
00:06:45I...
00:06:46I got to go.
00:06:47You come straight home after work, okay?
00:06:49I love you, Mommy.
00:06:51I love you.
00:06:52I love you.
00:07:01I hear your boy's with Jellybean.
00:07:02Yeah, we go way back.
00:07:05What was Jellybean?
00:07:06It's the main DJ at the boombox basement.
00:07:08Where that is it?
00:07:09You just got Madonna.
00:07:10Bull.
00:07:11Where this one?
00:07:12Can you introduce me?
00:07:13The Jelly?
00:07:14No, Deron Reagan.
00:07:15Yeah.
00:07:17Sure thing, but you know in this city nothing's free.
00:07:19Especially when it comes to Jellybean.
00:07:21What do you want?
00:07:22Hell no.
00:07:23Jellybean's always got a funny talent.
00:07:24Besides, Guy won't go unless you come with us.
00:07:26I don't even like him like that.
00:07:27Girl, who said you're gonna be into him?
00:07:28Just pretend it's an extra long trip in the stock room.
00:07:30Is your brother even gonna let you go?
00:07:31Of course he will.
00:07:32Why wouldn't he?
00:07:33Girl, I run the show at home.
00:07:34Hell no.
00:07:35Why?
00:07:36Heladio, please.
00:07:37No.
00:07:38You know how many pervs and weirdos go to places like that to pick up on young girls?
00:07:40You're gonna be with me.
00:07:41It's a bar.
00:07:42You're 15.
00:07:43It's tonight.
00:07:44There won't be an alcohol.
00:07:45Heladio, stop and listen to me.
00:07:47I don't want to let you go unless you come with us.
00:07:48I don't even like him like that.
00:07:49Girl, who said you're gonna be into him?
00:07:50Just pretend it's an extra long trip in the stock room.
00:07:51Is your brother even gonna let you go?
00:07:52Of course he will.
00:07:53Why wouldn't he?
00:07:54Girl, I run the show at home.
00:07:55Hell no.
00:07:56Why?
00:07:57Heladio, please.
00:07:58No.
00:07:59It's tonight.
00:08:00There won't be an alcohol.
00:08:01Heladio, stop and listen to me.
00:08:04I ain't gonna live and die in this neighborhood and never be nothing.
00:08:09I want to take care of mommy one day.
00:08:11What's that got to do with this club?
00:08:13There are gonna be people there who can help me.
00:08:15Give me a shot at singing.
00:08:17There you go.
00:08:18Head in the sky again.
00:08:20I'll take out the trash for a month.
00:08:29I don't know him like that.
00:08:54Is that him?
00:08:55Can you introduce me?
00:08:57I don't know him like that.
00:09:01I thought you said he wasn't home.
00:09:02No, he is.
00:09:03After the sex.
00:09:05I'll try to get us into the green room.
00:09:07He's gone.
00:09:10Figure out myself.
00:09:12I'm going home.
00:09:13I got homework to do.
00:09:19Damn, my bad.
00:09:20Go.
00:09:25No
00:09:31Goалыbeams.
00:09:34Johnny my man.
00:09:35What's up?
00:09:36We don't mind the talking.
00:09:37Parlay all day.
00:09:38I went off this week.
00:09:39Play off this child on defense.
00:09:41Fawcett and pretend I'm getting equal.
00:09:43Yeah, rock it.
00:09:44Beat boys in the place.
00:09:45Getting down to the break and another cruise.
00:09:47Get rock it.
00:09:48One time a song.
00:09:49Going from the lay back to the early morning.
00:09:51Get rock it.
00:09:52No time for the chat.
00:09:54I'm doing my dance all across the map.
00:09:55Get rock it.
00:09:56I will see K-I-N-G.
00:09:58And I suggest you don't mess with me.
00:10:02You're going to sneak backstage.
00:10:03Take the tray.
00:10:04What?
00:10:05Take the tray.
00:10:12I mentioned it.
00:10:17How much?
00:10:18Duh.
00:10:20Duh.
00:10:21Those are the prices.
00:10:23Inflation, my man.
00:10:24You got better options.
00:10:25I suggest you get to it.
00:10:26I got business going on here.
00:10:35I hear you help singers.
00:10:37Singers?
00:10:38Nah.
00:10:39I help artists.
00:10:40If they're worth it.
00:10:41Well, I'm worth it.
00:10:42The best damn pipes were here all night.
00:10:44Okay, shorty.
00:10:44Let's hear you blow.
00:10:45Let's hear you blow.
00:10:46I got sunshine light in my way.
00:10:52You're trying to be the clown but just float away.
00:10:53Don't matter about the sticks and the stones you say.
00:10:57Cause your world's about to flood and you're in my way.
00:11:03Cause I'm rolling, rolling.
00:11:04Try to stop us.
00:11:05We just keep going.
00:11:06Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.
00:11:19All right.
00:11:20Fresh, I see ya.
00:11:25What's your name?
00:11:27I got it.
00:11:30All right.
00:11:32Fresh.
00:11:33I see ya.
00:11:35What's your name? Lisa. Lisa Velez. All right, Lisa. Lisa Velez. How old are you? Eighteen.
00:11:46Who's bugging? Fifteen.
00:11:53Hmm. All right, Lisa. Leave me your digits.
00:12:05Come on, man. I just need a couple of intros. That's all.
00:12:14I told you, mamita. Ain't no one looking for a singer with your... look.
00:12:23What you mean? What's wrong with my look?
00:12:25Look, I love you the way you are, but these record executives,
00:12:30they start bugging about silly things like looks and images.
00:12:34But you know I can sing my ass off.
00:12:36I know it. But they don't.
00:12:39And you don't get past a record label without them thinking about your image.
00:12:43Or theirs.
00:12:45And besides, these record labels, they're full of whack-ass scam artists
00:12:51just waiting to take advantage of a young buck like you.
00:12:54Well, I ain't exactly no young buck.
00:12:56You still working with your pops? Sampling the product?
00:13:01It's honey. Jalen only leads down one path.
00:13:05So help me get another path.
00:13:07I think we got a kiss.
00:13:17Yo, Shorty. I heard you singing over there.
00:13:21It was fresh. You from around here?
00:13:24We're on the way. Tell us the kitchen.
00:13:26Word. Well, look, I got this joint that I've been working on for a minute.
00:13:29Hey! Don't be pushed over.
00:13:31Whoa. I'm trying to talk to her. You know what I'm saying?
00:13:34God, she ain't even trying to holly. Look, bro.
00:13:36Homie. I got a band.
00:13:38And we need a lead singer.
00:13:40Jelly Bean told me that she was looking.
00:13:42Got a few producers that are interested, you know, if you want to audition.
00:13:45My name's Mike Hughes.
00:13:47Here's my number and address to the recording studio.
00:13:50Play drums.
00:13:51Maybe we can make some music together.
00:13:54Just music, man. Time to go.
00:13:58You ain't going to no audition with that guy.
00:14:00No, of course not.
00:14:02I know that.
00:14:08Robert, come over here. Tell me you're just going to be dope.
00:14:11I got this guitarist. He's really amazing.
00:14:13I got this girl. She's walking.
00:14:15I know she's going to be amazing, too.
00:14:16Hold up. This is her.
00:14:19Hey. Hey.
00:14:20There's someone I want you to meet. Come over here.
00:14:24This is Rocco. He's the manager.
00:14:26Hi.
00:14:27Rocco, we just need five minutes.
00:14:30You got three, Mike.
00:14:33Okay. Lisa, come on.
00:14:35I have someone I want you to meet.
00:14:36This is Spanador.
00:14:37Nice to meet you, Spanador.
00:14:38I heard you can sing.
00:14:39I heard you can play.
00:14:40Yeah, yeah. Let's go.
00:14:41Um, did you practice a song?
00:14:43Mike wrote it.
00:14:44Yeah, I worked in it last night.
00:14:45Ready? Let's go.
00:14:46Yeah.
00:14:47So, when you think you're going to record the song?
00:14:51No booth. One mic.
00:14:55Let's see what you got.
00:14:57The booth. Come on, man.
00:15:01Guys. Hey.
00:15:02Let's listen to them.
00:15:04Come on.
00:15:05Ah.
00:15:13Hope and the baby is your soul, so call and take your bow.
00:15:18Are you down with blue?
00:15:21All I need is your lover, baby.
00:15:30Can't you?
00:15:31Thanks.
00:15:32We'll let you know.
00:15:33All right.
00:15:33Come on, man. Let's give him another shot.
00:15:35At least it's my time, right?
00:15:36We got to go. We got other stuff to do.
00:15:39Hey.
00:15:41Why don't you play a song you know?
00:15:43Something you're comfortable with.
00:15:45Hey, guys.
00:15:46Back her up, whatever she wants.
00:15:48Yeah, of course.
00:15:51So what you want to sing?
00:15:52Hey, guys. Look.
00:15:53Let's give her another shot, something she know.
00:16:03Oh, oh, oh.
00:16:15Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:16:16Oh.
00:16:16The funk is on the move
00:16:18Cartier and Louis V
00:16:25Is sure to set the mood
00:16:27When we're alone
00:16:33In your mind
00:16:34Only a fool
00:16:36Would ever try to hide
00:16:38Let your hold us
00:16:40Struck again
00:16:41Leave me in the air
00:16:43Feeling high
00:16:45Yeah!
00:16:52What about Hell's Kitchen's trio?
00:16:54Wow.
00:16:54No, that sounds like my abuelo's band or something like that.
00:16:57I didn't think you could get any worse than your last suggestion, but...
00:17:00But what?
00:17:01It's gotta be slick.
00:17:02It's gotta be, you know, something that screams we're all about culture, hip-hop, and music.
00:17:07And that we can jam.
00:17:08Yeah.
00:17:11Call it a jam?
00:17:12That's fly.
00:17:13Mm-hmm.
00:17:14I got it.
00:17:16Lisa and Code Jam.
00:17:18Okay.
00:17:19I'm feeling it.
00:17:20All right, but it needs that extra flavor, you know, because Lisa ain't your everyday girl.
00:17:25That's what I'm saying.
00:17:26Mm-hmm.
00:17:28She's not.
00:17:30Nah, Lisa ain't your everyday girl.
00:17:33She's uniquely blessed.
00:17:34How about Lisa, Lisa, and Code Jam.
00:17:42Yo, that's fresh.
00:17:44Right?
00:17:46Don't you think, Lisa?
00:17:47Yeah, well, it's a joint.
00:17:49I'm down.
00:17:50We got a name.
00:17:51Lisa, Lisa, and Code Jam.
00:17:54I like the bass and that progression.
00:18:03You're welcome.
00:18:05Would you still be your home, baby?
00:18:08Because I need you tonight.
00:18:10Oh-oh.
00:18:15Brothers are some of the best producers in town.
00:18:18This is great, Barry.
00:18:18Thank you so much.
00:18:20Yes.
00:18:20Lisa, sweetheart, you're incredible.
00:18:26That sound is amazing.
00:18:29The men, the men are going to go gaga for you.
00:18:34I told you.
00:18:35Yeah, you did.
00:18:36So what's next?
00:18:38Tour?
00:18:39Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:18:42Typically, we test the song, see how it lands in different markets before we actually sign
00:18:48an artist.
00:18:49How do you do that?
00:18:50We send the record to a few friendly DJs in the UK.
00:18:54And we'll be right back with Radio FM UK.
00:19:03The label better not have sent me rubbish like the last time.
00:19:07That was pure yank nonsense.
00:19:11I mean, if it hits, we start talking contracts.
00:19:14If not, you know the music world is littered with one-hit wonders.
00:19:18Who is this again, mate?
00:19:20A lot of them crash and burn.
00:19:25Don't worry.
00:19:27Rocco here is going to make sure everything runs smoothly.
00:19:30Isn't that right, Rocco?
00:19:31Yep.
00:19:31So it's my job to book you gigs, find the producers, and work on promotions.
00:19:35Hey, mommy.
00:19:36Hey, mommy.
00:19:37Did you find it all right?
00:19:38Yeah.
00:19:39Hello, man.
00:19:41Hey.
00:19:42Hey, mommy.
00:19:43Hello, mom.
00:19:44Pleasure to meet you.
00:19:46Barry Conner.
00:19:47Barry Conner.
00:19:48I just have a few papers that need your signature.
00:19:50Uh, let's, uh, step out for a second.
00:19:53Okay.
00:19:54Okay.
00:19:55I'll-I'll catch right up to you.
00:19:57Okay.
00:19:58Turn it back on, bro?
00:19:59Maybe, uh, and then you-you know that we can't proceed unless she signs, right?
00:20:05I mean, it's just too much risk with an underage artist, so walk her through it, okay?
00:20:11Oh, yeah.
00:20:12Do we need a lawyer or anything?
00:20:14No.
00:20:15The contracts are standard.
00:20:17New artists usually sign as is.
00:20:19Oh.
00:20:20Cool.
00:20:21Whew.
00:20:22Let's run this.
00:20:24I love a beat.
00:20:26Please, mommy.
00:20:27No.
00:20:28I don't know him.
00:20:29I don't know what I'm signing.
00:20:30What if something happens?
00:20:31Nothing is gonna happen.
00:20:32I do, Nena.
00:20:33I see how they look at you.
00:20:34I know what these men want.
00:20:35And it's not just your voice.
00:20:36No, you don't know what they want, mommy.
00:20:37Look.
00:20:38Lisa.
00:20:39Everything okay?
00:20:40Yeah.
00:20:41We're almost done.
00:20:42All right.
00:20:43How are you?
00:20:44Mommy.
00:20:45I'm a singer.
00:20:46I need to be singing.
00:20:47I can move us to a better neighborhood.
00:20:50And you won't even have to work anymore.
00:20:52Lisa, that's not your job.
00:20:54You once told me to never count on someone to take care of me.
00:20:59Mm-hmm.
00:21:00You said to do it yourself.
00:21:01So this is me doing it myself.
00:21:02I can't.
00:21:03I can't.
00:21:04I can't.
00:21:05I can't.
00:21:06I can't move us to a better neighborhood.
00:21:09I can't move us to a better neighborhood.
00:21:12I can't.
00:21:13I can't.
00:21:14What?
00:21:15I can't?
00:21:16I can't.
00:21:17I can't.
00:21:18You won't even have to work anymore.
00:21:23Lisa.
00:21:24That's not your job.
00:21:25You once told me to never count on someone to take care of me.
00:21:29All right, we need to get you guys back in the studio right away.
00:21:48Contracts are signed.
00:21:51Go home, celebrate.
00:21:54Tomorrow, we get to work.
00:21:56Come on, go, motherfucker.
00:21:57Listen, I'm just kidding, that's what I'm talking about.
00:22:01Hey, sweetheart, sweetheart, Lisa, can I talk to you a second?
00:22:05Yeah.
00:22:06There's a lot of work, time, and money that goes into making you a star.
00:22:10I need to make sure I'm not wasting any of that, so you're not pregnant or nothing, right?
00:22:16Pregnant?
00:22:18I'm 15.
00:22:19Like I said, there's a lot that goes into young stars.
00:22:23I need to make sure I'm not wasting it.
00:22:24I don't need a pregnant teenager on the road.
00:22:27Well, you don't have to worry about me, Mr. Khanna.
00:22:30I'm locked in.
00:22:31Good answer.
00:22:35And call me Barry.
00:22:37Yes, sir.
00:22:40Oh, Barry.
00:22:42I gotta go.
00:22:43My mom's waiting for me.
00:22:45Okay.
00:22:45Yo, Lisa, you ready?
00:22:52We gotta go.
00:22:57Yo, Lisa, we gotta go.
00:22:59Yeah, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:23:03Right.
00:23:04Hurry up.
00:23:05We gotta get going.
00:23:06Let's get now.
00:23:08I know.
00:23:09Oh, that's what was taking you so long, huh?
00:23:18Wow.
00:23:19Yo, Lisa, in a month, every girl is gonna be covering her eye, trying to look just like you.
00:23:25Baby, I know you're wondering why I won't go over to your place.
00:23:35In California, Governor Jerry Brown won the Democratic nomination on the 160th day of 1982.
00:23:40In the time that some people were reminded that actors are people.
00:23:44So what does this mean for AIDS patients in this country?
00:23:49Pittsburgh beat the New York Mets.
00:23:50Hello, Pittsburgh.
00:23:51It's 6-2.
00:23:53And the Los Angeles Lakers won their second national basketball championship.
00:23:58Three in six years.
00:23:59L.A. comes to Boston and wins the world title.
00:24:05Oosh, oosh.
00:24:07What you know about that step, man?
00:24:08You know the slider, though?
00:24:09I know.
00:24:11Yo, ain't that the band on TV?
00:24:12And the two people, I was like, that's schnazy.
00:24:16Oh, uh, what's up?
00:24:17Hi.
00:24:18Oh, thank you so much.
00:24:20Yeah.
00:24:29What's up, baby?
00:24:31What's your name?
00:24:31What's up?
00:24:32You're looking mad good.
00:24:34My name's Javi.
00:24:35Take my number.
00:24:42We got a problem with it?
00:24:54What?
00:24:54Put lines wrapped around the block.
00:24:58Lisa, Lisa in a cold jam, a catapult and freestyle.
00:25:02From New York's underground clubs into mainstream fame, and they are about to go national, baby.
00:25:07On Top American Countdown, a show that has taken some of the hottest stars of today
00:25:12and catapulted them into the stratosphere.
00:25:14And today is Lisa Lisa's turn.
00:25:16This is That Lover.
00:25:17You already know what it is.
00:25:19Back to you.
00:25:19Come on, make some noise out there.
00:25:22Come on.
00:25:22Come on, Lisa Lisa, baby.
00:25:25Every home in America watches the bands on this show, and Chuck Ryder is a titan of the
00:25:30industry here.
00:25:31If you don't screw up tonight, America will love you by tomorrow.
00:25:37Come on, let's go, Lisa.
00:25:38Hey, where's Crafty at?
00:25:41All right, starlings.
00:25:43It's show time.
00:25:48It feels like someone died in here.
00:25:51I'm just nervous, that's all.
00:25:54Are you ready?
00:25:58Yeah.
00:25:58Yeah, we're ready.
00:25:59Oh, I got it.
00:26:00Yeah, come on.
00:26:01Oh, okay, I meant just you.
00:26:05Chuck likes a little personal touch, a little pre-show interview.
00:26:09I'm sorry, fellas, but don't worry.
00:26:12You can watch her right here on the live feed.
00:26:15No, but we're a band.
00:26:17And you'll play as one.
00:26:18Just a quick chat before with you.
00:26:22Let's go.
00:26:23Ladies and gentlemen, from Lisa, Lisa, and Cult Jam, please welcome Lisa, Lisa.
00:26:34Welcome to the show.
00:26:48So, how are you doing today, Lisa?
00:26:50Well, I'm great.
00:26:50Very excited to be here.
00:26:52And how does it feel to be in this position?
00:26:54Well, it's a dream come true.
00:26:56Tony, I thought you weren't dealing.
00:27:10Look, I'm not, man.
00:27:11I'm networking.
00:27:12You never know where the next gig's gonna come from.
00:27:14Besides, I think this dude right here, you know, some record execs.
00:27:17Right.
00:27:18Sure.
00:27:22Got a line on a gig.
00:27:24Word.
00:27:25An audition.
00:27:26New band looking for backup singers.
00:27:29You mean I'm not backup?
00:27:30Tony, no.
00:27:32But look where you are.
00:27:34It's gotta be this game.
00:27:37Hey.
00:27:38You wanna spend your whole life looking over your shoulder?
00:27:40Just because it didn't work out last time doesn't mean you quit.
00:27:44Doesn't mean you stop trusting people.
00:27:46It's show business.
00:27:49It's the music game.
00:27:50And the music game takes time.
00:27:56Think about it?
00:27:57Think about it.
00:27:59All right.
00:28:01Peace.
00:28:02Peace.
00:28:07You ain't back.
00:28:08I ain't back.
00:28:09Not for long.
00:28:13Mike, listen, I got this.
00:28:15Figure it out.
00:28:16All right.
00:28:17Spot it off.
00:28:18We're just gonna go with number two.
00:28:19No, number two is not gonna work, bro.
00:28:20We need another audition.
00:28:22She looks the best.
00:28:23It doesn't matter if she looks the best, but we need another audition.
00:28:25We don't have time for another audition.
00:28:27Well, I don't know what you want me to say, but not one of them blend with our sound.
00:28:30Word.
00:28:31What do you want me to do, Alex?
00:28:32We're going tour in a month.
00:28:33Well, we keep searching.
00:28:34We already behind on schedule.
00:28:36We either pick a team today or we push.
00:28:39The label not waiting on us.
00:28:42We got bands lined up right now that's ready to go.
00:28:46All right, Rocco.
00:28:46Just give me another hour.
00:28:47I can find some ladies.
00:28:48I'll go around to fit that, Baptist.
00:28:50I'll find you a whole lot of girls who can sing best music.
00:28:52Make an executive decision.
00:28:53We're going with number two.
00:28:54No, we're not going.
00:28:55No, we're not going.
00:28:55Are we going with number two?
00:28:56It's all good.
00:28:57Are we going with number two?
00:28:58Staring out the window, hoping to catch you walking by, staring out the window, while these tears
00:29:07broke down my eyes, staring out the window, just can't believe it's done and gone, staring
00:29:16out the window.
00:29:24Hey, pack your bags, folks, because we're going on tour.
00:29:37Cigarettes don't affect your voice?
00:29:39No.
00:29:40I mean, they actually give it a little raspy bass.
00:29:42I don't mind having it.
00:29:43Those things will kill you, you know?
00:29:44Well, whenever the government comes out with a study saying these are bad for you, I'll stop.
00:29:50I'm Lisa.
00:29:52Tony.
00:29:52How long have you been singing it for?
00:29:56I grew up singing on street corners.
00:29:58Yeah, me too.
00:30:00Listen, you know it's not going to be what you think it is, right?
00:30:05What's that?
00:30:06I mean, this music industry.
00:30:08You know, it's just like the streets.
00:30:10Use it or it'll use you.
00:30:12So you've got to watch yourself.
00:30:13Everybody's going to try to take a piece of you, and you can't let them.
00:30:15Hey, where are you going?
00:30:18Look, I mean, most of these dudes want a backup singer that's something to look at.
00:30:23And I'm not that.
00:30:25Then why'd you come?
00:30:27Because I promised a friend.
00:30:29But I know the game.
00:30:30Don't smoke these menthols on the road.
00:30:36They'll mess up with your voice.
00:30:37And I can't have that.
00:30:41Whatever.
00:30:42I was trying to quote anything.
00:30:45Hey.
00:30:46Go home.
00:30:47Pack a bag.
00:30:48Because it's going to be a ride.
00:30:49Come on, baby.
00:30:58We're done, sir.
00:31:00Yeah, baby.
00:31:00A little longer, okay?
00:31:01You gotta go.
00:31:03Come on.
00:31:06I mean, what's this about?
00:31:08Come on, you know.
00:31:09Baby, no, no, no.
00:31:11They're going to have to, you know, check my makeup again.
00:31:14Stop.
00:31:15I thought we had dinner plans tonight.
00:31:17Yo, this city's so crazy.
00:31:19Sometimes I almost had to scrap with a bunch of teenagers.
00:31:22Excuse me.
00:31:23Okay.
00:31:23Signatures.
00:31:25Okay.
00:31:25More promotional tours means more papers to sign.
00:31:30Again?
00:31:31Hey, that's the life of a big star.
00:31:33Jesus Christ.
00:31:34Wow, a commercial?
00:31:36Yeah.
00:31:38We rearranged a few things so, you know, you could sneak it in.
00:31:43Well, I was supposed to go home after this set.
00:31:47I haven't seen my family in a year.
00:31:50This is a national commercial.
00:31:52It's a lot of money.
00:31:54I just, it's been concert after concert.
00:31:58You said you wanted to be a star, right?
00:32:00This is the pace you have to work at.
00:32:02So, give her creative control.
00:32:05Yeah, that's not the way we do things around here, but thanks.
00:32:08Do it anyway.
00:32:08Yeah, I want creative control.
00:32:13Lisa.
00:32:14I want to start putting my stamp on this.
00:32:16I want to get involved in the creative.
00:32:19I want to help with the set design and the choreography and to pick up the dancers, right?
00:32:24Yeah, she does it anyway.
00:32:25Of course, you'll be involved.
00:32:37Let's go!
00:32:38Let's get to work!
00:32:39Yo, sweetheart, are you ready or what?
00:32:40In a minute, baby.
00:32:41Lisa, the record label needs you, all right?
00:32:43This is not the other way around.
00:32:44I want you.
00:32:45All right, perfect.
00:32:45You know what?
00:32:46I want to go.
00:32:47Hurry up.
00:32:48Hold on, man.
00:32:49Lisa, come on.
00:32:49Put your hand right here.
00:32:51Tyra, you ready?
00:32:51Come on.
00:32:52Let's go.
00:32:52Look at the camera.
00:32:53Three, two, one.
00:32:58Perfect.
00:32:58Hold on.
00:32:59Lisa, Lisa, Lisa.
00:32:59All right, hold on.
00:33:00Hold on.
00:33:01Can I get an idea, please?
00:33:02No.
00:33:03My idea is something?
00:33:04Tell us kitchen tree, little girl.
00:33:06Are you for her?
00:33:06No.
00:33:07All right, bro.
00:33:08You know she's not part of this group, right?
00:33:10What do you mean?
00:33:11Yo, I'm right here.
00:33:12You could say it to my face.
00:33:13I'm talking to Lisa.
00:33:14What's your problem?
00:33:15The problem is we don't need any more voices offering their opinions on music, fashion, and photo
00:33:20shoots.
00:33:20Fellas, let's take a little break.
00:33:23What do you mean, break?
00:33:24Yeah, I had some fly spandex I wanted to flash, man.
00:33:27Nobody want to see you with no spandex.
00:33:30You know, we're just going to focus on a few shots of Lisa alone.
00:33:33Why don't you guys go to craft service, grab a coffee?
00:33:39Hey, yo.
00:33:40This was your band, Mike.
00:33:42You got two little girls telling you what to do.
00:33:44One is just the background, same thing.
00:33:46One, two, three, three, four.
00:33:52Come on.
00:33:55All right.
00:33:55One more second.
00:33:56One more second.
00:33:57Okay.
00:33:58Shake your arm again.
00:33:58Hey, you're good.
00:33:59You're good.
00:33:59Yeah, you're good.
00:34:01Look at that.
00:34:08Yo, Rick.
00:34:09Let me talk to you for a second.
00:34:12Of course.
00:34:13I just want to make sure you know that we're a band
00:34:16I know Lisa gonna get all the attention
00:34:19Since she's the lead singer
00:34:20But anything that we should be doing

00:36:06I'll get the car
00:36:07Thank you
00:36:07Don't be long
00:36:10Baby
00:36:11So Rocco, I think
00:36:15So I picked up some papers
00:36:17I just need you to
00:36:18Go over some of it
00:36:19If you need help
00:36:21I can go over it with you
00:36:23Yeah, I can take a look at it later
00:36:26Should probably get over
00:36:28Hey
00:36:28I don't know why someone asked you
00:36:32Wait, Rocco, stop
00:36:35That's looking good
00:36:36Come here
00:36:37Hey, what the hell are you doing?
00:36:39Rocco, stop
00:36:40No, stop, Rocco
00:36:42You're playing too much
00:36:43Hey, Rocco
00:36:45Wait, stop

00:38:47You look amazing
00:38:49Oh, my God

00:39:01Come on, come on
00:39:02Sorry, guys
00:39:02So nice to meet you
00:39:03Oh, bye
00:39:03Wow
00:39:10Please, I love you
00:39:11It's the first time
00:39:12Mommy will come see me
00:39:13No, just get on the train
00:39:15And come on
00:39:16Let me hear you
00:39:20Mommy
00:39:21Mommy
00:39:23Hi, Mama
00:39:25Oh, I'm so glad you're here
00:39:27You're beautiful
00:39:28Oh, my God
00:39:28You lost weight
00:39:29I've got a surprise for you
00:39:31Yeah, I'll show you after the show
00:39:33Come on
00:39:33Okay
00:39:33This is for you
00:39:40What do you mean?
00:39:44It's yours
00:39:45No, I can't believe this
00:39:49Did you see what Lisa bought me?
00:39:51Oh, my God
00:39:52Why did you do this?
00:39:53You know we were all saving up the bitch in and buy her car
00:39:56I know, I know
00:39:56I just wanted to do this for you
00:39:57No, no, that's not the point
00:39:59This is the goal behind me
00:39:59Why can't you just be proud of me?
00:40:02For once in your life
00:40:02Don't you just say
00:40:03I'm proud of you, Lisa?
00:40:05Why did you do that?
00:40:07It kills you to think that I can leave
00:40:08And do something more
00:40:09And you're just stuck here
00:40:10You don't know
00:40:10What you're talking about
00:40:12Oh, my
00:40:13Look at her
00:40:15Just let her have this
00:40:17Mommy, look at this
00:40:21The power's here
00:40:23Oh, and check the glove company
00:40:26Yeah
00:40:27What is that?
00:40:35This
00:40:36This, this isn't
00:40:38What is it?
00:40:41Well, thank you, God
00:40:42Thank you, God
00:40:45Glory to God
00:40:48Thank you
00:40:49I bought the house
00:40:50It's yours, Mommy
00:40:53Oh, my God
00:40:54Forever
00:40:54No one can take it away from you
00:40:58You don't gotta worry about anything ever again
00:41:01Oh, my God
00:41:04My mommy
00:41:04Well, everything's just perfect now, isn't it?
00:41:09Eladio
00:41:09Eladio
00:41:12I love you, but I can't be sitting around waiting for you
00:41:18You heard?
00:41:18Okay
00:41:19You know how my job is
00:41:21And I told you, you can come on the road with me
00:41:24You know, I'm not gonna follow you around like a little pet, okay?
00:41:27I'm a man
00:41:28I know
00:41:28I know you are
00:41:29And I need to work, okay?
00:41:31And I've been trying to be supportive
00:41:33Let me tell you something
00:41:35When you're gone, I feel like my only job is to wait on the phone
00:41:39Mommy
00:41:41And I mean, what?
00:41:42That's the only thing I've been doing these past few months
00:41:44I'm surprised you remember it was my damn birthday
00:41:47Yeah
00:41:49I told you
00:41:50I'm working
00:41:51I don't know how many times we have to have the same argument over and over again
00:41:56Does working include letting a bunch of guys up in your grill?
00:41:59What the hell are you talking about?
00:42:01Let them touch you, feel a little over you, hmm?
00:42:05Is that what you like?
00:42:05Okay, I don't know where this is coming from, but you're bugging
00:42:07Oh, yeah? I'm bugging?
00:42:11Stop, Javi, wait, wait
00:42:13What do you want?
00:42:15What do you want?
00:42:16What do you want from me?
00:42:17You want to be with me?
00:42:19Of course
00:42:20Then marry me
00:42:23I love you, okay?
00:42:27I do
00:42:28I don't want to sit here
00:42:31Wondering if you're mine
00:42:33Baby, I'm yours
00:42:38Yeah
00:42:39Then marry me
00:42:40Marry me or I'll go home, pack my things and leave
00:42:44Because as is, this isn't going to work
00:42:46It's your choice
00:42:52Okay
00:42:55Okay
00:42:58Really?
00:43:01Let's get married
00:43:02It's okay
00:43:04We're getting married?
00:43:08You out of your mind?
00:43:09What is your problem?
00:43:11Lisa, you guys are 20 years old
00:43:13How do either of you know what a commitment is?
00:43:15You guys are just two kids playing house
00:43:18Don't do this
00:43:19Wait until you're older and out of this game
00:43:22You don't understand, Eladio
00:43:24Only time is the same thing
00:43:24No, no, no, no
00:43:25I understand plenty
00:43:26You trust people when you shouldn't
00:43:28Mami
00:43:29Say something, por favor
00:43:30Mamita, please
00:43:32Why?
00:43:34Why do you want to get married so young?
00:43:37I love him, Mami
00:43:39How do you know it's love?
00:43:42Nana
00:43:42You will find someone who will love you
00:43:47You will
00:43:49I saw it in my dreams
00:43:52A man who will love you
00:43:54Who you will have children with
00:43:56But it's not Javi
00:44:00Congratulations
00:44:06Me
00:44:11You
00:44:14You
00:44:15I
00:44:16I
00:44:20I
00:44:24I
00:44:26I
00:44:27I
00:44:27I
00:44:29I
00:44:31I
00:44:31I
00:44:35Some guys will promise you a marriage made in heaven, but I'm gonna stick to my guns.
00:44:44Lisa Lisa of Lisa Lisa and the Colt Jam began simply as Lisa, a young Puerto Rican girl who
00:44:51dreamed of being a singing sensation. That dream started to come true in 1985 when the music
00:44:57producer group went looking for a female lead and stumbled across the 16-year-old cinema.
00:45:01In that same year, they renamed the band Lisa Lisa and Colt Jam, producing three top-selling
00:45:08hits which brought the band to platinum status. Both Lisa and the band attribute their success
00:45:16to their streetwise sound. Lisa Lisa has been compared with other top-selling artists such
00:45:23as Debbie Gibson, Paula Abdul, and even Madonna. Their most recently released album is purposefully
00:45:30called Straight to the Top, a place where Lisa Lisa and Colt Jam hope to be for a very long time.
00:45:36Man, I'm glad I ain't got no sisters. Wake up. There they are.
00:45:45Okay, listen. Shaving is like farming. You better start with little strokes and go up each side.
00:46:00Like that. Can't believe you never did this before. Don't you have sisters?
00:46:04No. You got me now. Hello? Oh, hey, babe. Of course. I'm in my hotel room. Where else would I be?
00:46:18Oh. All right. Well, I'll be home in two weeks. Okay. I love you.
00:46:38He's going out with his boys again, huh? Yeah.
00:46:53It's a third time this week. I think it's funny, huh? He always wants to know where you're at,
00:46:57but you never ask him where he's going. No need. I trust him.
00:47:03Javi! I'm home!
00:47:06I'm home!
00:47:16Baby!
00:47:34Baby!
00:47:36Baby!
00:47:38Baby!
00:47:39Baby!
00:47:40You know, if Barry finds out...
00:47:52I know.
00:47:56Are you sure it was positive?
00:47:58Like, does your mom know?
00:48:01What'd she say?
00:48:02She said not to have his child.
00:48:14She said that he reminded her of my dad,
00:48:16and reminded me what a mistake it was to marry him.
00:48:22I don't know.
00:48:27Maybe I loved him because I wanted a man to love me.
00:48:29Maybe my father didn't do it.
00:48:41Why don't you ever talk about your family?
00:48:47Ain't nothing to talk about.
00:48:52What do you do when you go back home?
00:48:53Where do you go?
00:48:54I got places.
00:48:55Look, I mean, most kids...
00:49:01Most kids have memories of being a kid.
00:49:05Like, happy memories of love and their parents and family,
00:49:09and...
00:49:10I just don't got that.
00:49:13And I'm okay with it.
00:49:16That's why I enjoy moments like this.
00:49:19Making new memories.
00:49:20Time with you.
00:49:22One of my best friends.
00:49:26One of your best friends?
00:49:27I better be at the top of that very short list.
00:49:30Look, see, that's...
00:49:31Miss Tony.
00:49:32That's why I should have never said nothing.
00:49:35Aw, you call me your best friend.
00:49:37You're so cheesy.
00:49:38That's why I don't open up to people, okay?
00:49:42Seriously, though.
00:49:44What are you gonna do?
00:49:45I can't have a baby.
00:49:51They'll lose everything, Tony.
00:49:53I'm gonna help you.
00:49:55I'm not going right, left, up, this, and that a way, that a way.
00:50:04Can you just...
00:50:05Can you just leave me alone for a minute?
00:50:07I'm not going right, left, up, this, and that a way, that a way.
00:50:13How much I let me down.
00:50:18I need another day to start the rest.
00:50:22Time to get back to me.
00:50:24Gotta go.
00:50:25Yes, I know it.
00:50:34Hey, but you see Shorty over there?
00:50:36You think I'll get her a little drink?
00:50:38I mean, she look good, but I mean, it's up to you, really.
00:50:41Come on.
00:50:41Yo, what up, Tony?
00:50:42What's up?
00:50:43Damn.
00:50:44Girl, you look busted.
00:50:45Let me go get some sleep.
00:50:47Trying to, man.
00:50:49Needed a little something.
00:50:51How's Lisa?
00:50:52I know she wasn't feeling well.
00:50:53She's good.
00:50:54You sure?
00:50:55Yeah, she's tired, that's all.
00:50:57So I think Javi's on the outs.
00:50:58Thank God.
00:51:00Hated that dude.
00:51:01Yo, what can I get for you?
00:51:03Bartender, let me get, um, uh...
00:51:04Let me get a whiskey.
00:51:06Double.
00:51:07Oh, damn.
00:51:09You drink like a dude.
00:51:10You flirt like one, too.
00:51:28Excuse me, fellas.
00:51:30That's some business to take care of.
00:51:32Oh, no.
00:51:39Come on, come on.
00:51:41Damn.
00:51:42Damn.
00:51:43Oh, Mike.
00:51:44Mike, man.
00:51:45She's stealing your girl.
00:51:47Again.
00:51:48I gotta use a baffle.
00:51:51Oh, Mary, snap that up.
00:51:53Why am I paying a tab on time?
00:51:56I got it, I guess.
00:51:57Now, Lisa, it's important that you listen to what I have to say, okay?
00:52:26We just got your results back, and, uh, it says that you have ductal carcinoma breast
00:52:34cancer.
00:52:37You'll need to start treatment right away.
00:52:40I have work.
00:52:42I have to travel for a few concert dates.
00:52:45I'm afraid that's not possible.
00:52:47If you don't treat it now, the chances of it spreading rapidly increase, limiting the
00:52:52chances of survival.
00:52:53Survival?
00:52:56Mm-hmm.
00:53:01I can't stop touring.
00:53:03I lose everything.
00:53:06Is there someone we can call?
00:53:07No.
00:53:08No one.
00:53:10No, no, I don't want anyone to know about this.
00:53:14Doctor, can we prepare a travel kit for her to do treatments?
00:53:19Yeah.
00:53:21I can coordinate with the hospitals in the city that she's traveling to, and we can monitor
00:53:26her that way.
00:53:26That works.
00:53:29We can start your treatment tomorrow.
00:53:33A word with you, please.
00:53:42That is my place.
00:53:43Do you understand?
00:53:44I understand.
00:53:47All right.
00:53:59Hey, mamita.
00:54:01I know.
00:54:03If I stop touring, it all stops.
00:54:09The music, the sponsorships.
00:54:14And I just paid off my mom's car.
00:54:17Her house.
00:54:19You know, I took advancements to...
00:54:21I took advancements to make that happen.
00:54:27And I can't...
00:54:27I can't stop.
00:54:30My mommy...
00:54:31My mommy's just gonna...
00:54:33She was so happy.
00:54:35She was so happy.
00:54:39I can't stop.
00:54:40You understand?
00:54:41I can't stop.
00:54:43We're gonna fix it.
00:54:44We're gonna fix it so that you don't have to stop, okay?
00:54:48You're gonna be okay.
00:54:49You're gonna be okay.
00:54:53We're gonna pray for you.
00:54:55Here, mama.
00:54:56Here, here, take this.
00:54:58Oh, yes.
00:55:03You're gonna be okay.
00:55:08By the way, my daughter, she loves your music.
00:55:12She does.
00:55:17She looks up to you so much.
00:55:20A lot of little Latinas look up to you.
00:55:23Listen, mama.
00:55:27You got this, okay?
00:55:29You're gonna be okay.
00:55:33You hear me?
00:55:34Hey, come here.
00:55:56We need to have a meeting.
00:55:58I've been looking over the contracts and something seems off.
00:56:02You notice your pay?
00:56:03Uh, yeah.
00:56:04Yeah, it's been a little life.
00:56:06I haven't thought about it.
00:56:07I'm exhausted.
00:56:07Can we talk about it later?
00:56:09Tony said that we should...
00:56:10Tony's not a part of this band.
00:56:14We need to have a conversation between us.
00:56:17And just us, Lisa.
00:56:18I gotta go, Mike.
00:56:20We need to do it soon.
00:56:24Look, I'm sick and tired of this, Alex.
00:56:26Tony.
00:56:27Done.
00:56:29What is this?
00:56:30It's your paycheck.
00:56:32Thought I'd hand delivery.
00:56:33Why?
00:56:34What do you want?
00:56:35You're not one to beat around the bush.
00:56:38Maybe you are.
00:56:39I wanted to ask about friendship with Lisa.
00:56:43What am I friendship?
00:56:44The reporter was prying the other day,
00:56:46assuming she's a lesbian.
00:56:48You know, I corrected her, of course,
00:56:49but having those kinds of questions,
00:56:52it doesn't benefit anyone.
00:56:54It doesn't.
00:56:57Back off, Lisa.
00:56:59You down?
00:57:02Yeah.
00:57:03Yeah, I think so.
00:57:04Thanks.
00:57:16Hey, you got a lighter on you?
00:57:24Yep.
00:57:25Let's make time for a chat over the break.
00:57:30I don't want to see everything slip away over one person.
00:57:34We'll have lunch.
00:57:35Okay.
00:57:36Okay.
00:57:36Here for your check.
00:57:59I'm going to need an advance when those jobs rubbed were arranged.
00:58:03Sure.
00:58:03Got a few bills that popped up.
00:58:05Um, what upcoming jobs?
00:58:09I don't see anything.
00:58:10Oh, the commercial.
00:58:12I signed the paperwork a while back.
00:58:18Ah, here it is.
00:58:22It seems like that deal fell through.
00:58:24What?
00:58:25Yeah.
00:58:26Did they say why?
00:58:28Client pulled out?
00:58:29No.
00:58:30No, that can be.
00:58:32I-I-I just spoke to them.
00:58:33I had a whole creative, uh, conversation about-about the commercial
00:58:38and what I wanted to do with it.
00:58:39I-they were excited about us.
00:58:43Look.
00:58:45I heard Barry said he didn't agree with the creative,
00:58:47and that was a deal-breaker for them,
00:58:49so he turned down the commercial.
00:58:51Hmm.
00:58:53I'm so sick of this.
00:58:55I've had enough.
00:58:56Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:58:56Get your hands off of me.
00:58:58Mr. Barry.
00:59:00How dare you?
00:59:02Uh, excuse me?
00:59:04We are the band.
00:59:06You don't turn down a job without letting all of us decide!
00:59:11Okay.
00:59:13This is how the industry works.
00:59:15You sign the contract.
00:59:18You belong to us.
00:59:20We decide what's best,
00:59:22or we find another band who'll accommodate us as we need them to do.
00:59:26Go home.
00:59:34Get some rest.
00:59:35You look like hell.
00:59:38Yeah.
00:59:39Hold on.
00:59:40Lisa!
00:59:40Lisa!
00:59:43Remember,
00:59:44there's plenty of girls waiting in line to take your place.
00:59:47Hey.
00:59:47Hey.
00:59:47Hey, yeah, no, no, I just had to give someone a little attitude adjustment.
00:59:54Uh-huh.
00:59:55Do you have a phone I can use?
00:59:59Sure, baby.
01:00:04It's right here.
01:00:07Lucas.
01:00:07We gotta talk.
01:00:10I stopped by accounting.
01:00:12I pulled up all contracts.
01:00:14And?
01:00:15Barry and Rocco turned down that commercial.
01:00:18I mean, what the hell are we gonna do?
01:00:20I think we should bring in Toni.
01:00:22She's done this before.
01:00:23She's a backup singer, period.
01:00:25Okay, do you have a problem with a female schooling you?
01:00:26That's your problem.
01:00:27Come knock it off!
01:00:28Both of you!
01:00:29We need to figure out how to get out of these contracts
01:00:31before we tear each other apart.
01:00:34They the bad guys, not us, man.
01:00:36Yeah.
01:00:37Right.
01:00:38I know a guy who's done this before.
01:00:41I'm gonna give him a call.
01:00:42Oh, so we can call Toni,
01:00:43but we can call a stranger we barely know.
01:00:46Great!
01:00:46Lovely!
01:00:47Lisa!
01:00:47Lovely!
01:00:47Please!
01:00:48We need to figure out what we're gonna do first
01:00:50before we'll let him know.
01:00:51Yeah?
01:00:52What?
01:00:54There's a few execs at the label
01:00:55that are concerned with your friendship with Toni.
01:00:57Who cares if I'm friends with Toni?
01:00:59You just listen to her way too much.
01:01:02You don't like the fact that I'm close to her?
01:01:04Or that she's gay?
01:01:05What?
01:01:05That's ridiculous.
01:01:06You know how many gay musicians are out there?
01:01:09A lot.
01:01:10You have a lot on your plate.
01:01:12You just don't need another voice in your head
01:01:14giving you advice.
01:01:16Yeah, come on, Lisa.
01:01:18This is our band.
01:01:19We started this together.
01:01:21Lisa, hey.
01:01:22I like Toni, okay?
01:01:25And I don't care what she does for her free time,
01:01:27you know, but
01:01:27this
01:01:30this could hurt us.
01:01:34No, it won't.
01:01:36Lisa.
01:01:36She's like a sister.
01:01:38She's my best friend.
01:01:40Come here.
01:01:40Time is money.
01:01:42Let me do it.
01:01:43Do it.
01:01:44Listen.
01:01:45Stop worrying about Toni
01:01:47and start looking into the contracts
01:01:49and how we keep losing money
01:01:51because of these guys.
01:02:00We don't need you, all right?
01:02:01This is not the other way we're in trouble.
01:02:03I told you, we don't need her.
01:02:03She's wet.
01:02:04Don't stab at me like that.
01:02:05How to get out of these contracts
01:02:06before we tear each other apart.
01:02:08We decide our band's best
01:02:10or we find another band
01:02:11who will accommodate us
01:02:13because we need them.
01:02:14A little pet, okay?
01:02:15I'm a man.
01:02:16There are plenty of girls waiting in line.
01:02:17We started this together.
01:02:19There's a few execs
01:02:19that can label better
01:02:20because I want you to appreciate it.
01:02:22I see how they know that.
01:02:26The band's here to take you to the mall.
01:02:28Lisa, come on.
01:02:29Yeah, I'll be right there.
01:02:31Lisa, what are you doing?
01:02:33Rocco says the place is packed.
01:02:35Thank you, Mio.
01:02:37I'm here.
01:02:38No, but, yes, please.
01:02:39You know you're ready?
01:02:40Yeah, I said I'll be right there.
01:02:41I said you would get a break, all right?
01:03:09The sooner you start,
01:03:10the sooner you will finish,
01:03:12you can act work.
01:03:18Hey, I'm sorry about that.
01:03:19I'm sorry.
01:03:24That's what's crazy.
01:03:26That should never happen,
01:03:27but, you know,
01:03:28that's right.
01:03:31Hi.
01:03:31Thank you so much.
01:03:33For your patience.
01:03:36Oh, this is such a great challenge.
01:03:37Come on, Lisa.
01:03:38I've been waiting all day.
01:03:39Hey, can I please get a kiss?
01:03:40I'm sorry.
01:03:40No, just an autograph.
01:03:41Come on, you look fine.
01:03:42Come on, Lisa, please fine.
01:03:43Sorry, just an autograph.
01:03:44I said no, man.
01:03:46Oh, we good?
01:03:47We good?
01:03:48Oh, sorry.
01:03:49What the hell are you doing, Tony?
01:03:51What?
01:03:51You can't be letting dudes get all grabby like that.
01:03:53These are fans.
01:03:54They're the reason why we're here.
01:03:55We can't be handling things like this.
01:03:57What the hell is that supposed to mean?
01:03:58It means how we got to be more thoughtful,
01:04:00how you handle situations, Tony.
01:04:02Not everything is a confrontation.
01:04:04What the hell is the matter with you?
01:04:06You've never had an issue before, all right?
01:04:08You look tired and, I mean,
01:04:09Okay, you don't want to talk.
01:04:12You know what?
01:04:13I don't need this, all right?
01:04:15Because all I was doing was making sure
01:04:16you were all right like I always do.
01:04:18Oh, you don't.
01:04:19Don't check on me for once.
01:04:21I already have a brother.
01:04:22I don't need another one hovering over me.
01:04:47You good?
01:04:48Yeah.
01:04:50I'm good.
01:04:51Just tired.
01:04:52I don't know what's going on.
01:05:06Oh, man.
01:05:08Riding in style.
01:05:09That's nice.
01:05:09Look at this, man.
01:05:10What is lame-ass Tony riding with us to the show for?
01:05:15I don't know, man.
01:05:16Ask Lisa.
01:05:17I will.
01:05:18What you asking me for?
01:05:20Not a mind reader?
01:05:20Why aren't you listening to Rocco?
01:05:31The label doesn't want her around
01:05:32and she's messing with our money.
01:05:33I invited her, Mike.
01:05:35Yeah, and that's the problem.
01:05:36We keep making all these decisions without consulting the group.
01:05:39And we're sick and tired of it.
01:05:40Right, Alex?
01:05:41Guys, listen.
01:05:42Look, I'm a lover, not a fighter, all right?
01:05:43Can we just talk about it later?
01:05:45Right now, we just need to focus.
01:05:46No, we can't talk about it later.
01:05:48I was going to keep this between just us, but I had a lawyer look over everything.
01:05:54And those contracts that we signed, put Rocco in charge of everything.
01:05:58He screwed us.
01:06:00Nah, you screwed yourself.
01:06:02I already told you, the music game.
01:06:04You either hustle or you get hustled, and you got hustled.
01:06:09Yeah.
01:06:10Just like your daddy be hustling you, right?
01:06:12Who the hell are you talking to?
01:06:13I'm talking to you.
01:06:13I'm saying it's you.
01:06:14No, no, no.
01:06:14Chill out.
01:06:15Chill out.
01:06:15Chill out.
01:06:15Chill out.
01:06:16Chill out.
01:06:16Chill out.
01:06:16Chill out.
01:06:16Chill out.
01:06:17Chill out.
01:06:17Chill out.
01:06:17Chill out.
01:06:17Chill out.
01:06:17Chill out.
01:06:17Chill out.
01:06:18Chill out.
01:06:18Chill out.
01:06:18Chill out.
01:06:19You need to be out of here.
01:06:20Now.
01:06:20Chill out.
01:06:20Stop.
01:06:21Mike, stop dissing her.
01:06:25This is the biggest night of our careers, and you guys are walking in a damn car?
01:06:40Man, what are we going to do about these contracts?
01:06:42Nothing.
01:06:42What do you mean, nothing?
01:06:43Those contracts are signed.
01:06:45We signed them.
01:06:48I just bought my mom a house, my brother a car, I'm paying for my sister's college.
01:06:52That can all go away tomorrow like that.
01:06:56Let's just ride this wave until we can renegotiate.
01:06:59Because I ain't going back to folding sweaters in the stockroom.
01:07:02You hear me?
01:07:12I got to, got to tell you, darling.
01:07:14Ooh, baby, I think I love you from head to toe.
01:07:21You can't fight everybody, Tony.
01:07:35You're lucky Barry wasn't there.
01:07:37Me? I don't care about Barry.
01:07:39All right, he's the one that started it.
01:07:40Stop! Stop!
01:07:42I can't handle this.
01:07:43Handle what?
01:07:44The truth?
01:07:45I've been saying the same thing over and over and over.
01:07:47Now what's happening?
01:07:49Now what's the problem?
01:07:49What is up with you?
01:07:51You've been acting different for me once now.
01:07:53You never acted like this.
01:07:55I always kept it real with you.
01:07:57He, in fact, has been talking to me crazy
01:07:59and I'm not going to keep around with it.
01:08:00Maybe you don't know what the hell you're talking about, Tony.
01:08:03Okay.
01:08:04Maybe I can stick up for myself.
01:08:07Do it.
01:08:11The rise of hip-hop and electronic dance music
01:08:13is forcing the freestyle genre to fade.
01:08:16I'll be back in a minute to check on you.
01:08:40It's Lisa.
01:08:40Lisa.
01:08:41Hi.
01:09:04She's killing it, right?
01:09:05Yeah, let's see what you got.
01:09:09Yeah, that's it.
01:09:11Nah, keep going.
01:09:16What's up?
01:09:17I stopped out to get my chick.
01:09:19Ain't nobody was rehearsing.
01:09:21Who was that?
01:09:22She's cute.
01:09:24Tony!
01:09:27Do you have a minute?
01:09:28Yeah.
01:09:29Come on, baby.
01:09:29Come on, baby.
01:09:29Come on, baby.
01:09:59Look what the catcher is again.
01:10:25I need a job, man.
01:10:29Is that all you need?
01:10:37Hey!
01:10:39I told you.
01:10:42You'll be back.
01:10:50This love we have could be real.
01:10:53Let me show you how I feel.
01:10:55Oh, boy.
01:11:01We can make it.
01:11:02We can make it work.
01:11:05Hey, that was good.
01:11:06I want to do it one more time, okay?
01:11:07Great job.
01:11:08Hey, look who's back.
01:11:10It's so good to see you, Lisa.
01:11:13Girl, you look terrible.
01:11:15You're not pregnant, right?
01:11:17Shut up, Spanador.
01:11:19Who's that?
01:11:20Um...
01:11:22That is, um...
01:11:24Spanador?
01:11:26Mike.
01:11:28Mike!
01:11:30Lisa, hear me out.
01:11:31Where's Stoney?
01:11:33Where's Stoney?
01:11:35Lisa!
01:11:37Lisa!
01:11:42I told you.
01:11:48Barry!
01:11:50I'm gonna have to call you back.
01:11:52What happened to Tony?
01:11:54I was gonna explain it to you.
01:11:55Who the hell said to let her go?
01:11:56It was a group decision.
01:11:58I'm a part of this group.
01:12:00Tony's toxic, okay?
01:12:02She's violent.
01:12:03We do not need an individual like that on the road.
01:12:06She's a liability.
01:12:07I need her.
01:12:08I need her on the road.
01:12:09I want her back.
01:12:11No.
01:12:12What?
01:12:13It was a management decision.
01:12:14I'll just go bring her back here.
01:12:15You know, if you go after her, I have to believe that you are not serious about your career.
01:12:21You could lose everything you have worked for.
01:12:25And for what?
01:12:27Some lesbian?
01:12:29How dare you?
01:12:31What does it matter who she sleeps with or who she is?
01:12:38You don't like Tony because she sees through your lives.
01:12:42Mm-hmm.
01:12:44You don't like her because she teaches me about snakes like you.
01:12:48I'm not gonna go on without her.
01:12:52Period.
01:12:54Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:12:55You're from the ghetto.
01:12:56You never graduated from high school.
01:12:58You cannot make it in this business without someone like me.
01:13:11Watch me.
01:13:12Have you seen Tony?
01:13:13Can I get a picture?
01:13:14I'm so sorry, girls.
01:13:15I can't write you.
01:13:16Lisa?
01:13:17Why are you looking for Tony?
01:13:18Is she using again?
01:13:19I didn't know she used.
01:13:20You don't wanna know she used.
01:13:21Maybe not.
01:13:22She's using again.
01:13:23She's a drug addict pimp.
01:13:24Living somewhere in the projects.
01:13:25If you find him, you find her.
01:13:26Thanks.
01:13:27Hey, Lisa, you gotta save her.
01:13:28If she stays in the projects, she'll end up just like her father.
01:13:29She's a drug addict pimp.
01:13:30Living somewhere in the projects.
01:13:31If you find him, you'll find her.
01:13:32Thanks.
01:13:33Hey, Lisa, you gotta save her.
01:13:35If she stays in the projects, she'll end up just like her father.
01:13:38Music is all she has.
01:13:42Thanks.
01:13:43Lisa, good luck.
01:13:44Alright, I'm ready to go.
01:13:45Don't worry.
01:13:46Go for her.
01:13:47Come for the help.
01:13:48Let's go for Tony.
01:13:49Hey, Tony, do I have a help?
01:13:50Not for Tony.
01:13:51Is she using again?
01:13:52Me too.
01:13:54I didn't know she used.
01:13:56I didn't know she used.
01:13:57You don't want to know she used.
01:13:59Well, Pop's she's using again.
01:14:00She'll be with him.
01:14:01She's a drug addict.
01:14:03Can we just get an autograph?
01:14:04Get out of the way!
01:14:05Hey, Lisa, be careful.
01:14:08Project's no place for a girl after sunset.
01:14:12Yo, I don't think she's breathing.
01:14:15She'll be all right.
01:14:18I don't know, B.
01:14:19We need to do something.
01:14:21This your daughter, man.
01:14:23It's a grown-ass woman.
01:14:25She ain't did nothing she ain't want to do.
01:14:27Tony!
01:14:28What the hell is that?
01:14:29Tony!
01:14:29Are you here?
01:14:31Hey, get the piece, man.
01:14:32Hold me down.
01:14:34What the hell are you doing here?
01:14:38You hear me talking to you?
01:14:39Tony. Tony.
01:14:41Tony.
01:14:41Hey!
01:14:42Tony! Tony!
01:14:43Tony!
01:14:44No, no.
01:14:45Get up. Get up.
01:14:47She's barely breathing.
01:14:49She ain't going nowhere.
01:14:54She's gonna die.
01:14:56We all gotta go sometime.
01:14:57But you?
01:14:59You ain't going nowhere, Baudicua.
01:15:02There are off-duty police officers waiting for me outside.
01:15:14If they come over here,
01:15:16and they spot that pile of cocaine you got there,
01:15:20they're gonna pick you up for the multiple warrants you probably have,
01:15:24and you will die in prison.
01:15:26You hear me?
01:15:35Let me get outside.
01:15:39Having babies don't make you a father.
01:15:42Caring for them does.
01:15:45You ain't no father.
01:15:48Hey, Baudicua.
01:15:48Don't ever let her come back here.
01:16:01Come here.
01:16:02What day is it?
01:16:17Tuesday.
01:16:19You've been out all night.
01:16:20Oh.
01:16:27This?
01:16:30It's the latest in accessories.
01:16:32The chemo pack.
01:16:36I've had her for a while.
01:16:40Doc told me after...
01:16:42Javi and I split up.
01:16:49But why?
01:16:51Why didn't you say anything?
01:16:53I didn't tell anyone,
01:16:55because I was...
01:16:56I was scared.
01:17:01Scared of what?
01:17:03Scared of losing everything.
01:17:05You know,
01:17:07when I was a kid,
01:17:09I would
01:17:09stand on a chair in the kitchen
01:17:12and just dream
01:17:13I was on a stage
01:17:14singing.
01:17:17You know,
01:17:17that I was
01:17:18the one coming out
01:17:19of Radio City Music Hall
01:17:20in a limo.
01:17:24That I would
01:17:25take care of mommy
01:17:26and that I would make
01:17:27Pelagio proud.
01:17:30They'd seen me all successful.
01:17:35For a while,
01:17:37it felt like
01:17:38everything we were living
01:17:40was that dream.
01:17:46And the moment
01:17:47anyone said cancer,
01:17:50I would...
01:17:50I would just lose it all.
01:17:57That everything would be gone.
01:17:59You know,
01:18:00the tour,
01:18:00the bands,
01:18:01the money.
01:18:05You?
01:18:08I was terrified
01:18:09of losing you.
01:18:12And I was so angry
01:18:14at you.
01:18:17Why did you do that?
01:18:20I once...
01:18:23I asked a junkie,
01:18:28how did he start
01:18:29getting high?
01:18:30This guy was a track star.
01:18:33He...
01:18:34I don't know,
01:18:35he ended up
01:18:36strung out
01:18:38in the projects
01:18:38most nights.
01:18:40But he said,
01:18:41when you
01:18:41spend your life
01:18:43being numb,
01:18:45and
01:18:45drugs help you
01:18:49to feel something.
01:18:51And I guess I just
01:18:53wanted to feel something.
01:18:55I'd be selling
01:18:56rock for my pops.
01:18:58I guess it was never
01:18:58about the money.
01:19:00I just wanted him
01:19:02to love me.
01:19:05Tony.
01:19:06I guess I just...
01:19:08I gotta accept
01:19:10the fact that
01:19:10he'll never be able
01:19:11to do that.
01:19:15You can't force
01:19:16anyone to love you
01:19:17the way you want.
01:19:21I know that.
01:19:23Now.
01:19:23Do you?
01:19:36You're my best friend.
01:19:39My sister,
01:19:40my family.
01:19:43I don't ever
01:19:44want to lose you.
01:19:46You won't ever lose me.
01:19:48You got that?
01:19:49Then no more secrets.
01:19:57No secrets.
01:20:00Because sisters
01:20:01don't keep secrets.
01:20:03Okay?
01:20:07No more secrets.
01:20:10I think there's
01:20:11one more person
01:20:12you need to tell.
01:20:13Lisa!
01:20:17My mother,
01:20:17you're a novelist!
01:20:20My mother!
01:20:21My mother!
01:20:23My mother!
01:20:24It's been so long
01:20:25since I've seen you,
01:20:26baby.
01:20:27Oh.
01:20:28What are you doing here?
01:20:29I'm sorry, Mommy.
01:20:31Oh, my kids.
01:20:32I've been busy.
01:20:34I have so much
01:20:35to tell you.
01:20:36But what are you
01:20:37doing Saturday night?
01:20:38We did it, Mom.
01:21:06Yes, we did.
01:21:08No.
01:21:33Hi, Mommy.
01:21:34Oh, baby.
01:21:35I got you seats
01:21:36in the front row.
01:21:37We'll eat after, yeah?
01:21:41Mm-hmm.
01:21:44Yeah.
01:21:46Yeah, baby.
01:21:48So cute.
01:21:49Yeah.
01:21:55Yeah?
01:21:57It's time.
01:21:58I'll see you later.
01:22:03Yeah.
01:22:05Hey.
01:22:07I got you something.
01:22:10What?
01:22:13I thought I lost them!
01:22:15It was in some of the boxes
01:22:16from when you moved.
01:22:18Ha!
01:22:19I figure you might need it
01:22:20since you never went
01:22:21anywhere without them.
01:22:34Lisa?
01:22:37It's not that I didn't think
01:22:39you could take the D-train alone
01:22:40or pay for Mama's bills
01:22:42or do all of this.
01:22:49I just...
01:22:50I wanted to be the one
01:22:52to do that for you.
01:22:56So you didn't have it
01:22:57as tough as I did.
01:22:59I just...
01:22:59I wanted to be the one
01:23:02to take care of my little sister.
01:23:03Okay, no.
01:23:11And if I never told you this,
01:23:15I've never been more proud
01:23:17of anyone in my entire life.
01:23:19I love you, sis.

01:27:07It will be alright.
01:27:09It will be alright.
01:27:10When you feel the world is taking over
01:27:33And it seems life is too much
01:27:38When it seems so hard to make tomorrow count
01:27:45Because tomorrow is my way
