"Anything special at school today?" "I found a rehearsal partner, so now I won't miss a beat when Andrew gets back." "Your applications arrived from Cornell and Brown." "I put them on your bed." "Remember our deal, Nora." "If you don't get a job from the showcase, you go to school in the fall." "OK." "I'm not late." "You're not dressed, either." "You can change in the bathroom." "Done." " I asked you to bring tights." " Do I look like I own tights?" " Shoes?" " Move better with 'em on." "Afraid you might slip and fall?" " How you wanna do this?" " I'll start with a combination." "OK." "Step, knee, step, fan, step, turn, ball change, contract." " OK?" " Mm-hm." "I'll take it slow." "And... step, knee, step, fan, and..." " You got that?" " Yeah." "So, from the fan... turn, ball change, contract." "OK." "Um..." "Let's do it again." "Five, six, seven, eight." "Step, knee..." "Oh." "My bad." "No." "Uh, so..." "Go." "Step, knee, fan..." "Wow." "He looks like the real deal." " Take a break." "Grab a coffee with me." " I can't." "I have a lot to do." " That's for damn sure." " Brett..." " I'm sorry." "You got a problem?" " No." "No, I'm all about rehabilitation." " We could discuss this outside." " Why do you think you're so tough?" " Why don't you test me?" " OK, stop." "Brett, everything's OK, all right?" "I'll meet you later." " OK." " OK." " What?" " Again." "And..." "Yo, Omar!" "Your boys are here, man!" "O, look what we got for you, man." "Let's go, baby." " I heard you havin' a party on Friday." " Mm-hm." " Yeah, you know we up in there." " Uh-uh." "You dudes is froze out, especially after what happened last time." " What you mean, we froze out?" " I ain't start that." "That was PJ." "That ain't even right." "We can take this car to Stuckey's." "Probably get more money, too." "I'm sorry." "Yeah." "You could take this car to Stuckey's." "You know something, Mac?" "You young dudes ain't got no respect." "No loyalty." "Why don't you bring me a Escalade or something to get back in my good graces?" " We just got you this car." " An Escalade." " We'll get you an Escalade." " What did you say?" " Nothin', man." " Yeah, nothing." "So, can I still come to the party?" " Skinny, come on!" " He ain't say nothin' about me." "He said y'all couldn't go to the party." "He didn't say nothin' about Skinny." "Will you shut up?" "Ready?" "Down, up, step, turn." " Piqué and..." " What the hell is a piqué?" "This is a piqué." "We do the turn and land face to face, OK?" " I get it..." " Do it again." " It's just..." " What?" "It's just stiff." "This whole thing is stiff." "It's boring." "Boring?" "Don't look at me like I'm stupid." "I know you know what I'm sayin'." "Fine." "Well, that's the way it is, so..." "Fine." "Ready?" "And..." "Down, up... step, turn, piqué, and..." " Like this?" " Um..." "OK, I am starving." "Tyler's just here until Andrew's back." "And why is this the first time I'm hearin' about it?" "We still have work to do." "Wait." "I can't watch?" "Is he that bad...?" " Goodbye." " You can tell me!" "OK." "OK, um..." " I'll see you tomorrow." " All right." "I'll see you tomorrow." "OK." "Can you come to the club and hear me sing with Colin on Saturday?" "Ooh, maybe you can bring Tyler." "Can you stop talking about how hot he is?" "OK, Brett's not around, so why do you keep denying the obvious?" "It's so obvious." "OK, fine." "Tyler's good looking, but he's annoying." "See?" "Your guard's up, and that must mean that you like him." " You couldn't be more wrong." " Ooh!" "And defensive, too." "You know, that must mean that you, um... really, really like him." "I'm just sayin'." "Look." "Miles sent me another MP3." "Ugh." "Better listen to it now." "He'll call in five minutes, asking' what you think." "You've been gettin' on Miles' case a lot lately." "Because he's irritating." "Ooh." " Defensive." "What does that mean again?"

" I'm sorry." " No, it's OK." "He was the one who always encouraged me." "Driving me to rehearsals, watching all my routines." "Sounds like a cool dude." " Thanks for walking me home." " All right." "Later." "Bye." "Pickup game tomorrow at the courts." "Them cats want a rematch." "You down?" "I can't make that." "I got community service every day this week, man." "Hey, put that away." "What are you doin'?" "Whassup between you and Lucy?" "Look like she's kind of feeling you." " I don't know about that." " What, you scared?" "Luce, Colin is too old for you." "What are you doing?" " It was so..." " Cheesy?" "Romantic, OK?" "It was romantic..." " Why isn't Nora using this?" " Nora's old-school, man." "I ain't talkin' Sugarhill Gang." "I'm talkin' 'bout Vivaldi old-school." "For real." "You should let her listen to it." "Hey, Nora." "I want you to hear somethin'." " Don't start." " You guys seem to be gettin' along well." " He's my partner." " Ah, he's just your partner." "And too many things." "Miles got..." "What's that, violin?" "Some kids to play violin on the track." "Finally working with people that can play instruments." "I can play, all right." "I just prefer to play with myself." "Whoa." "What?" " He makes it too easy." " No, not play with..." "Just listen." "I like it." "I really like it." "It's good." "Told you, dawg." "Hey, I was thinkin', um..." "You know that turn where we have our legs behind us?" "Thinkin', you know, what if I went down, and then we, like, change levels, like?" "I just..." "I don't mean to be out of line..." "No, no." "It's cool." "I like it." "Let's try it." "Ready?" "Five, six, seven, eight." "One, two, three, four." " That's actually really good." " Cool." "I think we should do it." "Let's try it again." "Five, six, seven, eight." "I guess I'll just see you tomorrow, then." " OK." " All right." "You need a ride?" "Um..." "You ever even been out to Hampden?" "No, but there's a place I go near there." "I'm serious." "Where are you takin' me?" "Hold on." "I'm about to show you." "Hold it." "Is this..." "Is this where you kill me?" "Funny." "This is it." "Yeah." "I mean..." "I got a view just like this, you know, from my balcony." " You do?" " No." " How did you find this place?" " I been comin' here since I was a kid." "My dad was an executive at one of the shipping companies." "This is where I imagined my whole routine." "I don't know how you do it." "How you think about how two people are gonna move and..." "I don't know, every detail." "I couldn't do that." " You've been doing it." " It's not the same thing, though." "That's how it starts." "I always saw this routine with a bunch of other dancers." "What do you mean?" "Well, if I had enough dancers, I could have them all starting in unison and then slowly breaking out in a canon." "Whoa, what's..." " What's a canon?" " You know, like "Row Your Boat"?" "OK, I'll show you." "You know that phrase with the turn and lift?" "They all have turn and lifts." "All right, what, in the middle section?" "Yeah, I know it." "Instead of doing it together, you're gonna go first." " Come on." " All right." "OK, go on "one"." "Five, six, seven, eight."

"I thought your original piece was good, but this..." "This is very risky, Nora." "But it may pay off." "What made you decide to change your piece?" " Actually, a lot of this is Tyler." " Nah, it's all you." "OK, fine." "He gave me some of his moves and I gave him ballet lessons." "You've studied ballet?" "He's actually pretty good." "He could be a student here." "Unfortunately, our school year has already begun, but keep up the good work." "Mm, Miles." "Miles!" " Lucy, not right now." " What's wrong?" "Miles." "Miles, what's wrong?" "I heard you guys got signed." " You heard wrong." " Everybody says Brett got signed..." " Brett signed without me." " How'd he get signed without you?" "According to him, the label says he's the only talent." "They wanna put him out as a solo artist to work with other producers." " Oh, my God..." " You know what?" "I knew Brett had an ego." "I knew he did." "But, damn, I thought he would sit me down and tell me like a man." "I knew it." "Hey, baby." "Is that why you flew to New York last week?" "Nora, calm down." "You ditched Miles?"

"Kids transfer, don't they?" "I was kinda hopin' maybe I could finish out my school year here." "It's not that you don't have talent, Tyler." "But a lot of kids have talent." "It takes so much more than that." "This is a grueling program." "My students work themselves into the ground every day just to get a fraction closer to their goals." "We're tough as hell on them in here, because we know what they're going to face out there." "Only kids that make it are the ones prepared to fight." "Yeah, I understand that." "I'm not sure that you do, not for something real." "And I've already seen you give up once already." " That's not gonna happen again." " Saying the words doesn't make it so."

"You know, 'cause it's just musicians, whatever." "You ain't got nothin' to explain to me." "What's wrong?" "Why you talking to me like that?" "If you wanna be with someone who doesn't appreciate what he's got, that's 100% your business." "I just thought you'd be smart enough to know you deserve better." "Excuse me." "Ready back there?" "All right." "I wanna hit it hard." "All right." "Smooth it out even more than that." "Just want it to look pretty." "All right, go." " Wait, hold up." " Mac?" "Tell me I'm not seeing this, Ty." "Mac." "Hold on, Mac." "Yo, wait up a second." "What you doin', man?" "What is that, Riverdancin'?" "You gettin' down with your Irish roots now?" " It's not like that." " Like what?"

"That's great." " Hey, Tyler." " Hey." "What, are you back?" "Yeah." "Feelin' a lot better." "Thanks for filling' in for me." " Can you give us a sec?" " Sure." "Hey, guys." " Hey." "Good?"
