[TINY JOE DIXON:] Baby, I'm taking the long way home 

Cause my baby don't live there no more 



[MARTY:] Excuse me ladies, you're singers, aren't you? 



[DEENA JONES:] We're the best. We're the Dreamettes. 



[LORRELL ROBINSON:] We're featured in the talent show. 



[MARTY:] Ladies, I've got the break of your lives. 

The great Jimmy Early is in need of some backup help... 



[LORRELL ROBINSON:] Ooooh, Jimmy Early! 



[EFFIE WHITE:] No. No, we don't do backup. 



[DEENA JONES:] Oh, come on Effie, all we've gotta do is a few ooh's and aah's. 



[EFFIE WHITE:] I don't do ooh's and aah's. 



[LORRELL ROBINSON:] Now, you look, Effie, this could be our big break... 

and I'm just dyin' to meet “Thunder” Early! (giggles) 



[EFFIE WHITE:] You look, singing backup is a trap. 

I'm sorry mister, but we cannot accept your offer. 

You see, we're going to be very busy after we win this talent contest. 



[MARTY:] You think so, do you? 



[TINY JOE DIXON:] No more.... 



[ANNOUNCER:] Come on ladies, you're on next. What's the name of your group? 



[DEENA JONES:] The Dreamettes! The Dreamettes. 



[EFFIE WHITE:] ...I can't wear this wig. And this dress doesn't fit me! 



[LORRELL ROBINSON:] You got the same wig I got? 



[EFFIE WHITE:] ...Yeah. 



[LORRELL ROBINSON:] You got the same dress I got? 



[FFIE WHITE:] Yeah... 



[LORRELL ROBINSON:] Then shut up. 



[CURTIS TAYLOR, JR.:] Say, Miss...I think you look just great. 



[TINY JOE DIXON:] I'm walking slow... 

'Cause my baby don't live there no more! 



[ANNOUNCER:] And now, straight from Chicago, the Creamettes! 



[DEENA JONES:] It's the Dreamettes! The Dreamettes!
