The Club

[CLUB PEOPLE]
Vanessa!

[USNAVI]
Damn, this is nice
I really like what they’ve done with the lights
So, the hot club in Washington Heights
You might be right, this music’s tight
Yo, did I mention that you look great tonight?
Because you do, you really—

[VANESSA]
Usnavi, relax

[USNAVI]
Relax, qué relaxed? I’m relaxed

[MAN & WOMAN]
¡Wepa, Vanessa!

[USNAVI]
So you’ve been here before
I don’t go out, I get so busy with the store
Y cada día it’s a brand new chore
My arms are sore, no time for the dance floor
But maybe you and me should hang out some more
I’m such a dork, but I—

[VANESSA]
Let’s go get a drink

[USNAVI]
Something sweet

[VANESSA]
You know me, a little bit of cinnamon

[CLUB PEOPLE]
¡Wepa, Vanessa!

[Usnavi joins Benny, who is doing shots at the bar.]

[BENNY]
Here’s to getting fired

[USNAVI]
To killing the mood

[BENNY/USNAVI]
¡Salud!

[BENNY]
Without so much as a “thank you"

[USNAVI]
After five long years

[BENNY/USNAVI]
Cheers!

[BENNY]
To finally getting Vanessa
Man, fix your collar

[USNAVI]
Holler!

[BENNY]
To doing shots on a weekend

[USNAVI]
As long as you buy ‘em, l’chaim!

[CLUB GUY]
Hey, you!

[VANESSA]
Who?

[CLUB GUY]
You!

[VANESSA]
Who, me?

[CLUB GUY]
You wanna dance?

[VANESSA]
Naw, man

[CLUB GUY]
Okay, I took my chance

[USNAVI]
It’s cool, it’s cool, hey, if you want to

[VANESSA]
You don’t mind?

[USNAVI]
I’m fine, I’m fine

[BENNY]
Yo

[USNAVI]
Yo

[BENNY]
Who’s Vanessa talkin’ to?

[USNAVI]
Some dude

[BENNY]
Some dude?
That’s messed up, she’s tryin’ to make you jealous

[USNAVI]
Jealous, I ain’t jealous, I can take all these fellas, whatever!

[Usnavi grabs Vanessa from Club Guy and dances with her.]

[NINA]
Benny, can we take a walk outside?

[BENNY]
And there she is

[NINA]
I’m so sorry, I didn’t know

[BENNY]
Who let you in?
Yo, this is the girl who cost us our jobs today!

[NINA]
I’m gonna make it right

[BENNY]
A toast to the end of all I know

[NINA]
You’ve had enough

[BENNY]
Says the girl who has it all

[NINA]
That’s not fair

[BENNY]
Well why don’t you run home to Daddy?
He loves to remind me
That I’ll never be good enough for your family
For you

[NINA]
You don’t know me

[BENNY]
Poor you

[NINA]
I thought you were different

[Benny pulls Club Girl 1 to the dance floor.]

[BENNY]
Salud

[A group of boys moves in on Vanessa, stealing her from Usnavi, alternating as they swing her around the floor.]

[PIRAGUA GUY/GRAFFITI PETE/MEN]
Vanessa, let me get the next one
Vanessa, let me interject some
The way you sweat, the way you flex on the floor
It makes me want you more
Vanessa, let me get the next one
Vanessa, let me interject some
The way you sweat, the way you flex on the floor
It makes me want you more
Vanessa, let me get the next one
Vanessa, let me interject some
The way you sweat, the way you flex on the floor
It makes me want you more

[Usnavi approaches a girl at the bar.]

[USNAVI]
Bartender!
Let me get an amaretto sour for this ghetto flower
How are you so pretty?
You complete me
You had me at hello, you know you need me
Truly, madly, deeply, let’s get freaky
Oh, I get it, you’re the strong and silent type
Well, I’m the Caribbean island type
And I can drive you wild all night!
But I digress, say something so I don’t stress

[CLUB GIRL 2]
No hablo inglés

[USNAVI]
Yes!

[Usnavi dances with Club Girl 2, while Benny dances with Club Girl 1. Vanessa dances with Club Guy and Nina finds a guy to dance with. Everyone rapidly alternates partners during the dance break, with Club Guy constantly stealing Benny's and Usnavi's partners. An angry Benny punches Club Guy across the face. There’s some more dancing, some fighting, and then the power goes out in Washington Heights.]
