Audition Scene 1 (Melvin, Dewey, Darlene)

Melvin: Now, you see how that is, Dew? Girls're tricky business. Real tricky business. But you gotta let 'em know how you stand, see? Now you want a take this girl dancin'. You want to take Darlene to the dance.

Dewey: I'm not sayin I love her or nothin.

Melvin: But you gotta let her know what you're thinkin'.

Darlene: Hey, Melvin.

Melvin: We're tryin to talk man to man. You understand?

Darlene: What're you talkin about Melvin?

Melvin: We're talkin on how nice you're lookin', Darlene. My pal Dewey, he can't hardly stand it. Now you see how that is, Dew?

Darlene: You really think I look nice, Dewey?

Melvin: Tell her how it is, pal. Tell her you mean business.

Dewey: (crosses to Darlene, very shy) Hey, Darlene.

Darlene: Hey, Dewey.

Dewey: I don't love you or nothin'.

Melvin: Dewey, what're you sayin'?! That's not what he's meaning, Darlene.

Darlene: (A little upset) Well, what are you meanin?

Dewey: I guess I'm kind a wonderin what you might think about dancin.

Darlene: (warming) I like dancin just fine.

Dewey: Me too. I don't know how or nothin but I sure like to watch.

Melvin: This guy puts the dance floor to shame.

Darlene: Maybe you could teach me a step or two, Dewey.

Melvin: (referring to Dewey) Hell of a dancer.

Dewey: Well, my feet're kind of sore. I got planters warts,see?

Melvin: Now, Dewey that ain't the way to her heart.

Dewey: (exiting) I can't dance if my feet hurt.
