The Monkees (Film) Scene V

(The Monkees and Carole at the bar all drinking)
Micky: So Peter how did you get a job and not tell us?
Peter: Well I've been busy.
Mike: Do you work long hours?
Peter: No I'm just hanging around with Diane from work while you guys look for work.
Micky: Well it sure is nice of you to buy these drinks.
Peter: Am I buying for everybody?
Carole: That's what Davy said.
Peter: All I heard was let's get drunk.
Micky: Well a two week check should cover five people if we don't get a third round, but just in case how much was the paycheck?
Peter: $75
Davy: How's that possible?
Peter: I work one day a week it was the only opening.
Micky: At least you'll cover our tab.
Peter: Not really I just renewed my bus pass today.
Mike: So how much do you have left?
Peter: Enough that you guys will only have to pay $30
Mike: Do they have a band playing here?
Peter: No why?
Mike: We could work off our tab that way.
Bartender: (approaching) So who's paying? (Carole hands over a secret stash) Thanks (Diane walks in the bar with another guy)
Peter: Hey there's Diane
Davy: Is that her brother?
Peter: Who?
Davy: The guy she's with
Peter: No she's an only child.
Davy: I'm sorry I was under the impression you two were dating
Peter: So was I (Micky and Carole pet and hug Peter; Diane comes up to Peter cheerfully)
Diane: Congratulate me Peter I just got a promotion.
Peter: You did? How? I didn't even know there was one open.
Diane: There wasn't but I suggested they put an opening to have a computer and electrics expert working in customers service to deal with complaints specifically arising from toys in that department.
Peter: (betrayed) That was my idea I told you about it in the park the other day.
Diane: (indifferent) Yeah but if you were serious why not tell the manager before telling me, besides I don't think they'd offer you the job.
Peter: I have a four year degree in computer sciences.
Diane: Oh that's right.
Peter: Why did you hang out with me in the first place if you were going treat me this way?
Diane: Why else? I could tell by your first day of work you took the job seriously and I know to latch on to the rising star, which thanks to your naivety is me.
Peter: (completely dejected) You're rather candid for someone working on another scheme already.
Diane: Oh Jack it's not a scheme it's a favor if I can make his ex jealous he'll pay for this date as overtime (whispers) and if he gets me a few benefits so will he.
Peter: That's more than I ever got.
Diane: We went out.
Peter: No this is a date this going when you're looking and acting like you're interested in the other person. With me you couldn't even look me in the eye I just thought you were cute, quiet and shy
Diane: I gotta go with Jack now nice...
Peter: Not before I tell you off (Song; I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone)
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
You're trying to make your mark in society
Using all the tricks that you used on me.
You're reading all those high fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin' girl are causing public scenes.
I said
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone,
Not your stepping stone.
When I first met you girl you didn't have no shoes
Now you're walking 'round like you're front page news.
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose
But you won't find my name in your book of Who's Who.
I said
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone,
Not your stepping stone.
Jack: Hey Peter nice to meet you come on Diane. (Jack and Diane leave)
