Players Ball,
my man, huh?
All right. All right.
That was great.
What's the Players Ball?
Nothing, nothing.
Be cool, be cool.
I heard you wiped Mom out.
How did you do it?
You might say I
rearranged her front end.
[Women clamoring]
You know, you'll be king
of the Players Ball?
Ain't no doubt about it.
You're beautiful. Terrific.
All right. What is
the Players Ball
they keep talkin' about?
It's tomorrow night, honey.
That's okay, I'll protect you.
Tomorrow night?
I have a prior engagement.
I can't go. I can't go.
Oh, no. Where is it?
Somebody picks the place
and we all show up there.
It's a subcultural event,
sweetheart.
It's our responsibility
to be there.
Oh, I can't be there.
I can't.
Yes, you can.
[Women scream]
Grab him.
What is...
Dinner.
Come on, wake him up.
Give him air.
Tomorrow... Tomorrow night
is... is the college
alumni dinner.
Where?
At the Excelsior Hotel,
I have to be there.
I don't know where or what
your Players Ball is,
but I simply cannot be
in two places at once.
Yes, you can. Yes, you can.
We'll take care of everything.
Now, how are we
gonna do that?
Shh.
(Karen)
Loosen his belt.
(Thelma) Karen, get your
mind out of the gutter.
Oh, Jesus Christ, do you think
this is gonna work?
Sure, it'll work. Sure.
This is Ed here. 
Your dime, go ahead. 
Yo, Eddie.
Yeah. 
What's happenin'?
This is Diavolo.
Oh, go ahead, Diavolo. 
Listen, Eddie, if the Doctor
is king, he chooses the place
where he wants
to be crowned.
Well, it's gonna go down?
This is it, right?
Uh-huh.
Don't jive me man?
I'll tell you what
it's going to be.
Uh, the Excelsior Hotel.
Excelsior Hotel. 
That's downtown.
Is that right?
You're familiar
with the area.
Well, I'll ask around, man. 
Yeah.
Later on. 
The Doctor will be there.
Better be. 
Later.
All right.
The Doctor's "A" Team.
First class.
Top of the line.
Come on, let's get ready.

Oh, there's Swami Diavolo!
The caterer.
Mother, that's not him,
that's someone else entirely.
I have never before...
They never have a mob here.
Really?
Well, when you got

(crowd)
Doctor Detroit.
Pardon me.
Uh, uh, excuse me.
Skridlow! Hey, man, I gotta
talk to you. We gotta...
Excuse me. Clifford, I see
that your friend is here.
Does that mean you'll
be leaving us again?
No, absolutely not.
My duty is to my home,
my family,
the college, my job,
and to you, sir.
He is upsetting
the guests.
Will you get him
out of here?
Oh! Sue and Lloyd Miller.
Can you believe this noise?
You can't even think.
You have to
get out of here.
You're going to
ruin everything.
I have to talk to you.
Hey, man, watch out, man.
You been drinkin'?
Do you hear those people
over there?
They wanna see the Doctor.
[Sighs]
I can't do it.
I can't leave.
I've got to
introduce Rousehorn.
He's going to give
money to the college.
You've got to, man.
There are four beautiful women
depending on you.
The Doctor
