- Hey! - Come here.

Oh, sticks, huh?

Ah!

Oh, come on. Come on, hit me.

Let's go!

Hey, Trasher. "Snow Pink?" I never heard of them.

I'm serious, Jon, Ponch had the whole audience

in the palm of his hand.

Oh, come on, Bear.

It only holds 35 people.

So what? You knocked their socks off.

Hey, don't let it go to your head.

You'll never get that helmet on.

Hey, what are you doing? We already got guitars.

A man can always use more, Fido.

Yeah, Fido the great.

Hey! Help!

Hey, Fido! Ha ha ha!

Jump! Jump! Ha ha ha!

Come on, chicken, jump! Come on!

Hey, look at that.

Hang tough!

- 'Hey, baby!' - 'Hey!'

Hey, you got a problem, officers?

- Nothing we won't solve. - What a relief.

- 'Real mean.' - 'Bye.'

- Hey! Hey! - 'Come on, baby.'

- Hi, guys. - Hi, Bonnie.

This is Snow Harper. She's the owner of the band.

This is Officer Poncherello and Officer Baker.

- Hi. - Oh, well.

Darn thing never did lock right.

Hey, look, I don't need a rap about this.

I'm mad enough at myself, alright?

The van was broken into, some microphones and two guitars

were taken. I got the descriptions.

Oh, Ponch, you were terrific last night.

Thanks. Now, the band's not too shabby either.

- Oh, nothing that organized.

How come your group's called Snow Pink?

Hey, well, I mean to be a star, you gotta look like a star

right, and the rock world already had Blondie, so..

Pink. - Oh, you're a punk band.

No way, we're not punk. We're new wave.

I didn't know there was a difference.

Come on, there's a whole different attitude

to the music, man. Punkers are into an angry thing.

New wave, hey, we're just having fun with it.

Hey, there's a big pileup at the Rosecrans Exit

on the San Diego Freeway.

- Okay. We'll take it. - 'Okay.'

Hey, uh, look, you guys, I hate to pressure you or anything

but if you do find my stuff today, I'm rehearsing

at The Breaking Point in Hollywood. Any chance?

- You got it. - We'll do our best.

The way I have to keep changing tires on your bikes

you'd think you two have all your money in rubber futures.

Is this a revised schedule again?

Talk to your singing partner.

Sorry about that.

Well, luckily, you were worth it.

That was some show you put on last night.

Yeah, best singing motorcycle cop west of the Rockies.

I hope you're not planning on making a career out of this.

Aww, and leave all this?

Hey, what happened to you last night?

Yeah, everybody else was there.

- I, uh-- - Hey, don't gang up on him.

Can't expect Jon to appreciate a great pair of lungs.

He's a leg man.

Oh, don't tell me, uh..

You're moonlighting as Poncherello's roadie.

Well, if I were, I wouldn't waste his pipes on these.

These are dead mics.

'I found them in the Ocean View Cemetery.'

Groundskeeper said he saw a couple of weird-looking bikers

banging them on everything in sight.

Uh, didn't this disco used to be called The Breakers?

Yeah, and before that, it used to be Liverpool West.

- Time's changed. - Yeah.

- That was nice. Well, thanks a lot.

Needs a lot of work though if we're gonna win Battle

Of The Bands. Winner gets free studio time to cut a demo.

So what you got?

Oh, no, they're all ripped up.

Alright, where's the guitars?

- No.

I mean, that bass is a real cheapo, but the other one..

Hey, I mean, we're talking some serious

three figure dollars here, you know what I mean.

I mean, I am working a straight gig just to pay for that.

That's rough.

It's only a temporary job though till my group hits.

And actually, it's not that bad of a job anyway.

I'm a salesgirl at Passion Fashion in Hollywood.

'You ever heard of it?'

Come on, guys. All the rock stars shop there, man.

It's the hippest place in town. You should check it out.

That's Duke. He owns the place.

And lucky for me, he's also my brother.

It looks like he doesn't enjoy his work.

Oh, he's been auditioning band tapes all day.

Hey, Duke, got a sec? I want you to meet some friends of mine.

'This is, uh, Officer Baker and Officer Poncherello.'

Pumpkin, this group Pain is a no-no.

- It's the name of a group.

Duke's prejudiced 'cause he thinks they sound punk.

What Because I don't like troublemakers?

That's funny. I thought maybe you didn't like cops.

Sometimes, they're one and the same.

Uh, we better go.

Guys, try and find my guitars, huh?

Good grief, Duke. That was really dumb.

You know those cops are helping me find my guitars.

Well, they're not here, pumpkin.

What is it with you anyway?

You having a mental meltdown?

And you know what, I heard that group Pain.

- So they sound a little punk. - They're a lot punk.

'Yeah, well, so were The Rolling Stones when they first started.'

Hey, look, why did you open up a club for the new music

if you're gonna censor all the bands? That's not fair.

Alright, I hear you. I-I'll book them.

But if they misbehave, I'm gonna pull the plug on them.

Fair enough?

Hello?

Yeah?

Yeah. No-no problem.

That just goes to show how much you know, huh?

That was the owner of The Breaking Point.

And Pain's gonna be playing in The Battle Of The Bands.

'I said I'd come to hear you sing if I could arrange it.'

' - Your enthusiasm.

Listen, let's 11-98 at the Passion Fashion in one hour.

'10-4, Ponch.'

Second time this month.

- Yes, I have a spare.

- Sure, yeah.

Thanks. I've had it with women's lib.

Beach scene's getting to be a real nightmare.

- Punkers.

Uh, no, thank you.

Last year, it was skateboarding. This year, it's punk rock.

- 'It's hip to be bad.'

Yeah, Trasher's bunch. He's a real dangerous dumbo.

Has an Indian haircut. You ought to see him.

I think I have.

Yeah, he's been around forever.

Ex-jock, ex-surf Nazi.

Kinda guy who wanted every wave for himself.

I think he's got a rock band now.

They play around here?

'Well, you're asking the wrong person'

but if they do, it's probably at the Dirt Club

off Beach Boulevard.

A lot of the girls think those guys are hip

but if you ask me, they're all just as lame.

Oops! Wipe out.

All the pawn shops in the area have the guitar's description.

There's a possibility they were ripped off

by one of the punk bands.

No way! Musicians don't rip off other musicians.

That's an unwritten law.

Oh! Be back in a flash.

Let's look around.

Uh, what are you doing?

I thought I'd pick out something extra special for my show.

You know, to be a star, you gotta look like a star.

Hey, you really dig being on stage, don't you?

I'm having fun. What's the crime?

Here.

Can't wear two hats at once.

Why not?

Look, the whole idea behind fashion

is to break the rules, right?

- Sure, it's fun.

Hey, Ponch, look, we have got everything here

that you can dream of to make you look great on stage.

And, look, if you want me to help you out

I can turn you into something really happenin'.

- Yeah, you know, happenin'.

Hip, up with the beat.

Yeah, well, maybe you better do that when you're off duty.

Your, uh, beat's out there.

See you tomorrow.

Are you sure you don't wanna put in

a few extra hours? Last chance.

No, you're the one that's split-shifting

the act. I'm finished for the day.

Well, then I guess I'll have to cruise Ivar Boulevard by myself.

Those are my orders.

Uh, you wouldn't be checking out the Dirt Club, would you?

The Dirt Club, huh? That's where the kids dance the slam.

You don't know the slam? I guess you guys aren't into punk rock.

- Hey, I don't discriminate.

I'm into the totality of experience.

Yeah, the slam is a dance the punks invented

because they got bored doing the pogo.

What's the pogo?

Well, the pogo is how new wave kids dance.

It's fun. I mean, you just..

♪ Dah dah dah dah

Anyway, the punks took the pogo step, went wild.

Invented the slam.

Uh, new method of crowd control?

I take it you've never seen Grossie direct traffic.

Well, the more people you bash..

...the better slam dancer you are.

- 'Well, that's the idea.'

Band-Aids and bloody noses are punk status symbols.

See, the trouble starts when you got a packed dance floor, right?

And some guys are pogo-ing.

♪ Dah dah dah dah

And other kids start slamming.

I can explain.

Yeah, well, I don't intend to let you.

♪ Dah dah dah dah ♪

- Come on, Spike. Let's go. - I need cigarettes.

♪ I dig pain the feeling in my brain ♪

♪ The scratchin' the bashin' the clawin' the trashin' ♪

♪ The givin' the gettin' and the total bloodlettin' ♪

♪ Drive me insane

♪ I dig pain ♪

Whoo!

We're gonna blow those bands off

that Breaking Point stage

and those kids are gonna be screaming for more.

Yeah, Potato Head's right. I can hear them now.

Yeah.

Ow!

Trasher, it's the cops. The ones that were after you.

We better stash that bass. They'll be looking for it.

They want this lousy guitar? They can have it.

LA 15, Mary 3, send an 11-41.

An ambulance to the 6300 Block at Ivar.

'10-4, 7 Mary 3.'

- Yeah. Yeah.

'Trash, man, you better get out of here.'

- Help is on its way. - Thank you.

They're coming, man. Go.

'What happened to the other bike?'

'Phillip, where have you been?'

- Out. '

Hurry up. Come on.

Let's go.

I can't get through that barbed wire.

Ow!

Oh! Ouch!

These guys are crazy.

So what happened? They just slipped out of there?

Jeb, you don't slip over barbed wire.

- Yeah, cute.

The kid it was registered to

his family moved to Germany six months ago.

Did you see this? "Hollywood punk club closed."

Ooh, I love this part. "Owner blames police harassment."

We're lucky you two didn't start a riot.

Hey, well, giving it the media blitz isn't gonna help things.

This type of drivel spreads like medflies.

Punks, I mean I don't get it, it's not as if

they're underprivileged from the ghetto.

The suburbs can be a ghetto too, Jon.

An over-privileged kid can get just as lost.

Try finding an identity in a place

where every house is the same.

Well, uh, why don't you explain about the violence?

Well, you can't and that's why it's the perfect

antisocial protest against the 9:00 to 5:00 world.

Well, I think it's a convenient excuse

for troublemakers to mess up the system.

Uh, here's today's schedule.

Sarge, I told you I got a singing rehearsal.

- Ah, punk! - I'll do a full shift tonight.

Well, might as well take off right now then.

Listen, I'll catch you later, I got a zillion things

to do before the show.

Alright, just take it one step at a time.

Alright, I'm trying to get organized.

I gotta be at a rehearsal hall in Hollywood

then slip down to Passion Fashion

and get measured for some clothes.

Check out a new arrangement

and then back to Snow's to pick up my outfit.

Hey, you're going to a lot of work for just one show.

Yeah, it's, uh, my last.

I hear what you're saying, man

and the answer is thanks, but no.

Look, if you don't wanna request extra security

I think that's your business.

That's right.

I think you're taking a chance.

I hear you, man. I appreciate your concern but--

I don't believe it.

You know, this has been going on all morning.

Hello. What?

Yeah, I got it. Four tickets.

Yeah. Uh, now, pick up the tickets an hour before the show.

Yes. Pain will be playing.

Isn't that a punk band?

I make a convincing bouncer, don't I?

Listen, the tricks with punks is you pick them up one at a time.

Yeah, but why give them a chance?

I said I hear you. I'm not deaf.

Look, with more cops around

it gives the kids more reasons to get provoked.

I just thought I'd offer. Is, uh, Snow around?

Yeah, she's inside. She's been changing clothes for an hour.

Hey, Snow?

- Hey, Snow! - 'Yeah, I'm up here.'

- Oh, Jon, hi! - Hi.

Hey, um, look, I left Ponch's outfit

down there on the stage behind the speaker.

'Boy, I-I sure hope it fits.'

'I might, I might have overdone it and made it too tight.'

Uh, no such thing.

I sat in on the rehearsal today.

Did you know that they're booked for two weeks

at the Airport Hotel, Sacramento?

Sacramento Airport Hotel?

Man, this could be a really big break. They could really be hot.

- Yeah.

I want to get your opinion on this outfit, right?

'Close your eyes. Hey, don't peek.'

Alright.

Hey, guys, could I have some lights up there?

Okay. Open them up.

What do you think? Isn't it too much?

Too little. Hey, look, it's only my third choice anyway.

Well, you're not gonna forget about tonight, are you?

I left your name at the door and everything.

There are not gonna be too many punks.

Jon, would you stop worrying about the punks?

They're just a bunch of kids with growing pains.

I mean, they'll probably be doctors and lawyers someday.

Yeah, well, if you have any trouble--

There's not going to be any trouble.

Okay.

- Uh, Jon.

- What you came for. - Oh!

Bye.

We'll work 'em up to the max and then we trash the whole place.

Yeah, real damage.

Yeah.

Big night for Snow.

I'm gonna keep my eyes open for any familiar haircuts.

Yeah, sounds great.

Alright, what's eating you? I'm the one that should be mad.

You never come to hear me.

- Sorry. - Yeah, well, I wanna know why.

Uh, maybe I was afraid you'd be too good.

Yeah? You really wanted to hear me?

- Sure. - Well, you're too late.

Look, Ponch, uh, I just want you to know what

you're getting into. I mean, you're going for the big time.

Hey, Jon, you know me.

Safety first. I slow down to read the road signs.

Then you know that becoming a singing sensation

takes a lot of hard work.

- And lots of luck. - Right.

And still, there's no guarantees.

Exactly.

How come you're agreeing with me?

Because you're right.

But you said you're going to Sacramento for two weeks.

Oh, that's it. Jon, the band's going to Sacramento, not me.

I'm at the top of my profession right now

and that took a lot of sweat and blood just to be

sitting up here. Now's the time to enjoy the view.

So you're stuck with me.

- Yeah, one.

You've never come to hear me sing.

Now, now, don't rub it in. Don't rub it in.

Okay, okay, I won't.

But, uh, you'll get to hear me anyway.

- I don't understand. - You'll see.

'Alright, serving it up from the top of your digital dial'

'drifting through wave of wave of power on rock and roll'

'get ready for The Battle Of The Bands.'

Yes, band fans, here we are at stage side

at The Breaking Point, if you're keeping a scorecard

the bands tonight will be Snow Pink, Pill Boy and The Anteaters

Mog, Crispy Cretins, Split Milkshake, Pain

'and a few others, but I can't read them'

''cause I just took my glasses off..'

Hey, now, charge up your fuel cells

because we're gonna party till we drop.

What do you think you're doing, huh?

Hey, I thought we'd leave our mark.

If we're leaving our mark, we do it right, huh?

The bathroom's closed.

And now, Snow Pink!
