3 I Can’t Stand Still [Alonzo]
Number three!! This song right after Ren meets Willard, and they later become good friends. Just to make things clearer, the dialogue from just before this song is at the bottom. Alonzo is Ren, and (not in this song, Pouncival is Willard. Disclaimer: I don’t own the song, I don’t own the video, and I don’t own the script. (copied verbatim)(from the play, not the movie): (… Ren, in embarrassment, turns and bumps into Willard Hewitt, a hayseed in a hat.) Willard: Hey, mister! You bumped me! Ren: Sorry. Willared: Don’t you ever look where you’re goin’? Ren: I said I was sorry. Willard: Hey! You’re that new guy from Chicago, ain’tcha? Ren: Perhaps. Willard: Smart-ass, huh? Listen fella, around here you push somebody… they push back. Next thing you know, you got… (Gets confused; forges ahead.) … two people pushing. Get it? Ren: Got it. Lemme ask you something. They sell men’s clothes where you got that hat? (Pause) Willard: (Suspiciously) What is that, some kind of stupid joke? Ren: No. That’s a really good joke. Willard: That’s it, man. I’m gonna kill you! (He raises his dukes to Ren, who throws himself at Willard’s fists.) Ren: Oh, please! Kill me! Willard: (Pulls away, startled) Huh? Ren: Kill me! KILL ME! That’s the most exciting thing I’ve heard since I hit town! (Sticks out his hand) Ren McCormack. And you are…? Willard: (wary) Willard. Willard Hewitt. Ren: Willard, what do you do around here for a good time? (Willard hesitates, then makes a lewd gesture.) Yeah …
