There is no rhyme or reason to life.
You think you're doing okay and next thing you know,
you're miles away from home, in bed with a stranger
tired and strung out,
wondering... what wrong turn did I take to get here?
We're ready.
Okay, we're ready.
Hey, viewers of all ages,
join me again this week for another Disco Dance Party.
We've got quite a show for you!
The young Canadian sensation Karen will be here to sing her first single.
As always, we've got the best disco dancers in town,
plus many more surprises.
Saturday night, at seven... see you at the party.
Cut!
Let's go for take 2?
No, they love it, we're good.
Thanks, guys. See you Saturday!
Okay, Jonathan needs help. I don't know what to wear tonight.
Mr. Lavallée.
Mr. Morin left this for you.
What do you think of my maid's outfit?
Could we take a picture?
Huh... sure.
Watch out, watch out...
Getting warm, watch out!
Welcome to today's Top 10 Disco Countdown!
This is Bastien Lavallée starting at no. 10 with a personal favourite of mine.
Especially in this 12-inch remix exclusive to the Starlight,
where you can join me live every Friday and Saturday night!
Here's Doctor's Orders, by Carol Douglas.
Thanks, man.
Thanks, Billy.
Hey, hi.
Everything good?
Thank you.
I'm here, buddy, I'm here...
Jacques?
No. I gotta get back to the office.
Thanks.
So? How do you like the car?
You guys are nuts.
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.
Hey! Hi, my man!
Straight off the boat from Colombia.
Thanks. How you doing?
I'm great. Man, you look fit!
It's aerobics.
Oh yeah, aerobics...
it's a new workout. Very hot in California.
Yeah, I heard about it.
You're always on the cutting edge.
That's why he's on top!
Daniel, did you know I just recorded a disco single?
Great!
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.
This season on Channel 10,
not only will our friend Bastien Lavallée, a Staright fixture,
stay on the Disco Dance Party show,
but he is now officially...
its Number One Host!
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.
You'll meet a little girl with a very big future.
Karen's a home-grown talent and she'll sing for us tonight!
Let's start our show with the Prince of Jet Set,
the King of Night Life...
Jonathan Aaronson!
It's my turn to welcome you to Disco Dance Party.
I'm so excited tonight
because sitting here with me is a vision, an incredible beauty...
Please give a round of applause for the lovely Adriana.
You're a world-famous top model.
She just came back from L.A. and the trip changed her life
because everything's fabulous out there.
I'm excited!
I just told Adriana that starting next week,
she’ll be hosting a new fashion segment
on Disco Dance Party.
Another round of applause
for Adriana!
Thank you, and we'll be right back.
Not bad. I only gave you one.
You okay? Not too stressed out?
Everything will be tine. Have fun.
Get ready. In 5... 4... 3...
Welcome back to Disco Dance Party.
Next up is a young revelation
who's with us to perform her first disco single:
I Love to Love.
And when she becomes a big star,
remember where you saw her first: right here!
Ladies and gentlemen, Karen.
Thanks a lot. You didn't have to stay so late.
It was such a big night. 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...
We sold 75,000 copies of my single.
Pm so happy with the fans' response, the)I've been amazing.
And what I have here is a Juno Award.
It's the Canadian Award given to the Female Singer of the Year.
Thank you.
My manager Gilles took me to the Awards In Toronto.
He introduced me to lots of celebrities.
It was a wonderful evening.
I want to thank him. Without him, I wouldn't be here tonight.
Mimi?
Sorry, I got distracted.
No, no, I mean... I know who you are.
You're Mimi? "The" Mimi?
Yeah. That's me.
My band and I listen to your records all the time!
You're so "Blondie", so "Ramones".
What?
They're the hottest New Wave bands in New York.
I can't believe you're actually here...
I changed my name to Kiki because of you.
You work here?
Oh no, no. I'm helping out a friend.
Aw, screw it! I'm not helping anyone out,
this is my job now. Can I take your order?
