Host: Ladies and gentlemen, the Detroit Theater continues our legendary talent contest with the indefatigable Stepp Sisters!

Stepp Sisters: (singing)
I'm lookin' for something, baby
Something that'll give me a rise
I'm lookin' for something, baby
Like a real nice surprise
I'm lookin' for something, baby
Something that you have got
I'm lookin' for something, baby
And it's gonna be real hot

Marty: Ladies, you can't go. What, what about Jimmy? What about the show?

Woman: Marty, you know I can talk. Now watch me walk.

Marty: Sugar, Jimmy was just being Jimmy. You know he's crazy about you. Just crazy.

Woman: Oh, really? Well, give the crazy man a message from me. Tell him I got his number. His phone number.

Marty: Now, baby...

Woman: At home, where he lives, with his wife. Come on, Joann. We don't have to put up with this shit.

Marty: Shit.

Stepp Sisters: (singing)
I'm lookin' for something, baby
I'm lookin' for something now
I'm lookin' for something, baby
I'm lookin' for something now

Host: The unstoppable Stepp Sisters! Let's hear it! All right now. Won't be long now, y'all. Coming your way is the wildest man in show business, Detroit's own James "Thunder" Early will be kicking off his national tour right here on stage tonight.

Marty: Mercy. Mercy, Mercy. Ladies? Ladies? I've got the break of your lives. The great Jimmy Early is looking for some backup help tonight...

Host: Now I want you to turn it on for Little Albert and the Tru-Tones!

Little Albert and the Tru-Tones: (singing)
Me and my baby goin' downtown
Me and my baby gettin' down tonight
