"!" "I'm afraid so." "And before it's over, she gets arrested 26 times." "That's terrible, Al." "Yeah." "Wait a minute." "When you said 'before it's over'...?" "Well, it's over in '86 when she dies of AIDS." "How does a young girl like her become a prostitute?" "Sam, we're talking about New York City here." "Forget that she's deaf." "Do you know how tough it is for a single girl without a family to make it in New York?" "Al, I have never been around a deaf person before." "I don't know how to..."

"She was one of the brightest women I've ever known." "And she wouldn't sleep with you?" "No." "Right?" "Why does your Swiss-cheese memory remember stuff" "I want to forget?" "So I guess I'm here to stop her from becoming a prostitute." "And to get her to finish school - which is my guess." "Mario - the guys who owns this place - was saying something about her dancing at some bachelor party " "I think he means stripping." "That's probably how she gets started into hooking." "Hm." "Deaf?" "She's deaf?" "Yeah, I'm afraid so." "She had a little accent." "I thought she might have been French." "A deaf stripper - how about that?" "No, she's a deaf waitress." "And I like to keep it that way." "You're nuts." "A cute little thing like that, she could pull in $200 a night." "Hey, hiring her makes me an equal opportunity employer." "It also makes you a pimp." "Hey!" "All my party girls are strictly 'look, but don't touch'." "What they do after for tips, THEY do." "You're just uh...singling out the virgin wool before the wolves, right?" "Yeah." "Yeah, you're right." "In fact, I tell you what, I'll make you a deal." "Uh...you keep her working as a waitress and away from your bachelor parties " "And what does that get me?"

"Coming right up." "Thank you." "Thank you - that's thank you?" "Thanks." "You're welcome?" "Anyone who gets to know me can pick up the easy signs." "OK." "Oh, thank you." "Good night." "Good night to you, kid." "Good night." "Why don't you tell people that you're deaf?" "Why should I?" "When people know I'm deaf, they feel sorry for me or treat me like I have the plague." "Maybe that's because they don't want to seem stupid." "Stupid?" "Not you!" "Hearing people, like me." "I mean...to tell you the truth," "I really don't know how to talk to you." "Just talk." "I can read your lips." "I may not get everything." "Maybe half." "Unless you cover your mouth, turn away or speak fast." "Well, that's why you couldn't understand Otto." "Otto - the bartender with the moustache." "You mean walrus?" "Yeah." "How he expects me to know what he's saying with all this hair growing on his lips..." "Do you... do you hear anything at all?" "White noise." "Vague sound, like when Jailhouse Rock plays." "I feel the rhythm and beat, but no Elvis." "So that's how you can dance?" "When I turn the music up, it's like I'm hearing." "I feel the vibration passing through my body." "When I dance, it feels like a dream." "I can't imagine what it would be like to live without ever hearing music." "I know music in a way that you will never know." "When I look around," "I see music everywhere." "There's the music in the stars." "The way they sparkle." "I feel them." "There's music in the light as they dance on the water at night." "And how the leaves chase each other, laughing." "Like children that play." "When I feel the wind on my face, the wind is my music." "So I came to New York to dance." "Being a waitress is just a way to survive until I get a break." "If you can call the tips I made tonight surviving." "Diana, you know, there was a choreographer at the club tonight." "Joanne Chapman." "You know her?" "She's incredible." "Well, she's having open auditions on Monday." "Well, I already danced for her." "She didn't even notice me." "You mean tonight at the club?" "That wasn't an audition." "I mean, she was just having fun." "Monday is the audition." "What if I'm not good enough?" "What if you are?" "Good night." "Good night." "(WHISTLES A TUNE)" "Hey, honey, you got any spare change?" "Honey, can you spare a dime?" "Hey!" "What are you?" "Deaf or something?" "God!" "These kids!" "(SHOUTING) Rod told me you weren't interesting at dancing at parties." "Rod told me you weren't interested in dancing at parties." "He had no right to tell you that!" "Well, maybe not, but I already booked the gig." "Sorry." "Look, are you short a little bread?" "I can lend you some." "I don't take handouts." "Oh." "Well, we could always figure out another way to pay me back." "You understand what I am saying?" "He's a real sweetheart." "I can't make enough on tips to get through the winter." "Maybe I can book you into something." "Maybe I can book you into something." "Really?" "Yeah." "Until then, you need to borrow a couple of bucks?" "No, no, no." "Just give me a job dancing." "All right." "I'll do my best, kid." "Come back tomorrow, huh?" "What...?" "What are you doing?" "Sign language." "See?" "This...this means 'boring'." "Oh, I thought you ran out of Kleenex or something." "That's 'boring'." "What have you got on a Joanna Chapman?" "Hm." "Joanna Chapman." "Oh, oh, Al." "Look at this." "What do you think that says?" "Oh, that's the incy wincy - No, no, no." "No, no, no." "No!" "'Quantum Leap'." "That's 'Quantum Leap'?" "Yeah." "Quantum Leap." "That's neat." "Quantum..." "Oh, Joanna Chapman - here we go." "She's a hotshot choreographer." "She's one of the best in the country." "I know." "I saw her dance last night." "I think I'm here to get Diana into her dance company." "She hasn't even graduated from high school." "She'll do it here while dancing." "As what?" "A stripper - No, I've taken care of it." "(KNOCK AT DOOR)" "I took care of that." "Oh, hi." "Come on in." "How dare you tell Mario I wouldn't dance at his party!" "I just didn't want you to..." "I didn't want you to make a mistake." "The only mistake was letting you walk me home!" "Well, stay away from me, Rod The Bod!" "Diana..." "I ain't got nobody like that here." "Well, I dropped her off here last night." "Are you telling me I'm crazy?" "No, no." "She's pretty, she's got big eyes, kind of blonde-ish hair." "She's deaf." "Oh, the deaf girl?" "She don't live here." "She's been parking back and forth across the street for the last month." "The last month?" "Yeah." "See that blue and white van?" "I called the city council, asked them to come in and clear her out." "You think they did anything?" "Hell, no!" "Not a thing!" "Thank you." "It's just trash." "This whole neighbourhood is getting to be trash." "Total trash." "I told you to stay away from me." "I didn't think you meant it." "You're crazy!" "I'm not living in a tow-away zone." "Diana, listen to me." "I'm just trying to help you." "So you tell Mario I don't want to dance?" "Stripping is not the same as dancing." "You strip!" "There's a difference." "I don't see it." "Neither do I, but - You're here because I'm deaf." "That's not what this is about." "Yes, it is!" "You think I'm a poor little deaf girl, who needs hearing people to protect me." "Even if you had perfect hearing," "I still wouldn't want to see you dancing in one of Mario's parties." "Why?" "Don't you think I can dance as good as you?" "No." "I think you can dance better than me." "Good enough to get into Joanne Chapman's dance company." "I can't dance for Joanne." "Why not?" "I just can't." "You could try." "What are you saying?" "I..." "I..." "I don't understand you." "Good." "Now you know what the world feels like to me." "Listen." "This is not about being deaf." "This is about being afraid." "I'm not afraid of anything." "You're afraid of failing." "I can't dance her style." "Yes, you can." "I have seen you dance." "You're great." "But it's not her style." "If I want to dance in Joanne's company, I have to copy her." "You danced with her." "She's strong and sharp and she's a star." "I don't dance like that." "I-I need more experience before I audition." "How are you going to get it?" "By stripping at parties?" "I'm not a stripper!" "You would've been if I hadn't stopped you." "Listen." "Wait, wait, wait." "(CAR HORN)" "Hey, get out of the street!" "You said that your senses were sharper." "That you see things others don't." "Well, I see things too." "And right now, I can see that you're at a turning point in your life." "You can pick a road that goes up or a road that goes down." "I don't know what to do." "Dance at that audition tomorrow." "Are you doing this because I'm deaf?" "No, because you're good." "Diana, it's OK to let people help you." "You don't have to do everything alone." "OK." "OK." "♪ CHERYL LYNN:" "Daybreak" "I can't do it!" "Yes, you can." "I've been trying for six hours." "OK." "Well, maybe...maybe you're trying too hard." "You know, I mean, you said that Joanne does everything easy." "Show me." "Me?" "You are a terrific dancer." "No, no, not really." "What's the matter?" "Afraid you'll fail?" "All right, people." "Impress me." "(MUSIC PLAYS)" "OK." "OK." "All right." "Everybody, take a minute." "Catch your breath." "I'm coming right back to you." "All right, 3, 21 and 45." "She's fit." "So rewind the tape and let's go." "All right." "OK." "If I call out your number, people, please come forward." "No.3." "21." "18." "45." "9." "15. 32." "22. 79." "And No.1." "OK." "Now, line yourselves up." "Open up, please." "Hang on, hang on." "I got somebody missing." "15." "No.15." "Going once, twice." "OK, she's not here." "No, no, no, she's here." "Rod The Bod." "Listen, No.15 - she's back there in the pink." "Are you auditioning today, honey?" "Oh, no." "No, she's a friend of mine." "Uh-huh." "Don't hold that against her." "Can she dance?" "Well, sure." "I'll let you know." "Hey, No.15, come on, honey." "No.15!" "You, come on forward, honey." "All right, everybody here, spread out." "Find a place." "Everybody else back off." "I only want to see the people I'm focusing on." "15, come forward, honey." "Don't be shy." "Come on, darling." "There you go." "We're going to do the combination one more time." "And this next time, when you get to the end," "I want everybody to improvise." "I'd like to see if you can really dance." "Got it?" "All right?" "Music, please." "I figured I'd find you here." "I don't think this is going to work, Sam." "Yes, it is, Al." "She's already made two cuts." "She should be on a bus to Wyoming." "You haven't seen her dance." "But I've seen what Ziggy's predicting." "Sometimes, Ziggy's wrong." "Yeah, well, maybe he's wrong, but maybe you're getting too involved to know what's right for her." "I hope not, Al." "That's good." "Come on, now." "Work it." "Give me something." "Let me see it." "And dance." "Hey, that's it!" "Let me see it!" "Work it!" "Hey, come on, honey." "Dance!" "What are you doing?" "Hey!" "Turn off that music." "What's wrong?" "Why did you stop dancing?" "Hey, hey, hey." "Wait, wait, wait." "Come here, come here, come here." "It's OK." "What's the matter?" "Why did you stop dancing?" "I'm sorry." "No, no." "It's OK." "It's OK." "What's wrong?" "Nothing's wrong." "She's deaf." "Deaf?" "Can she understand anything I'm saying at all?" "Yes, if you speak clearly and slowly and to her." "You didn't understand my instructions?" "Did you know this was a professional audition?" "Oh, here it comes." "You are such a lovely dancer." "And I'd really like to give you a shot." "But we move very, very fast here and I just...don't think I have time to give you the attention you would need." "I'm sorry." "Look, this is my fault." "I should've told you." "I don't think it would've made much difference." "All right, people?" "Take a few minutes..." "You were right, Al?" "Sometimes, I hate being right." "Where did she go?" "Will you get this thing?" "I ain't got all day." "Wait, wait." "Please, don't take my home." "Please don't take it." "Are you kidding?" "Your plates are out of state." "Your tags are expired." "And you've got $120 worth of parking tickets." "My stuff's in there." "Well, cough up $120 and it's yours." "What?" "You want to go to jail?" "Please, let me take my things out." "Now, get it out of here, Charlie." "Let's go." "All right." "All right." "Where have you been?" "I've been looking everywhere for you." "You found me a dance job?" "Well, not exactly." "Um...you see, a friend of mine, who's visiting town, needs a date for tonight." "Now, I promised him that I'd show him a good time, but uh..." "I'm kinda stuck here." "I-I don't need a date, I need a job." "This is a job." "Look, he just wants to have a little fun." "How much for this 'little fun'?" "I think he's good for at least 300." "Maybe more, if he likes you." "Come on, it's just this one time just to tide you over till you get a dance gig, OK?" "Now, here's a little loan." "You go and buy yourself a nice dress and some new shoes." "I don't want it." "Well, you can't go on a date dressed like that." "Come on." "(PHONE RINGS) Oh." "Hello." "Mario's Hideaway." "Yes." "Yes, we do private parties." "Hi, Rod." "Hey." "Have you seen Diana?" "I'm sorry." "Could you just hold a minute, please?" "Um...no." "Why?" "Mario doesn't have her working at one of his parties, does he?" "No." "You and Mario made a deal." "You're more important to him than she is." "If you see her, tell her I'm looking for her." "Sure." "Otto?" "Yo, Rod." "Have you seen Diana?" "The little cocktail waitress?" "Yeah, she was talking to Valerie and then she split." "Tonight?" "Yeah, a minute ago." "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" "Yes, I am." "Am what?" "Yes, I am wondering if you know what Valerie's last name is." "Yeah, Nevski." "Why?" "Are you thinking about hitting on her too?" "Good." "Good." "Goodbye." "Where's Diana?" "You just asked me that." "And you lied to me." "No, I didn't." "Yes, you did." "No!" "Well, you didn't tell me the truth." "Basically, that's the same thing." "She was upset and needed a job." "My guess is you're probably the last person she'd want to know about that." "I was trying to help her." "Yeah, right into the horizontal tango." "You gave her a job?" "It was more like a date." "Uh-oh." "How about this?" "In '77, Irma La Douce here was arrested for - Prostitution." "That's a sleazy word for dating." "The kid was broke and scared." "I was doing her a favour." "I'm not going to judge how you live your life, Valerie." "But if Diana does this, it will destroy hers." "I'm not ashamed about what I do." "Well, maybe not." "But if you could go back to the first time, would you do it again?" "Ziggy's got a fix on Diana." "The Park Grove Hotel." "Room 1203." "How come I never get a nice guy?" "(BANGING ON DOOR)" "Yeah, yeah." "Just leave the tray." "What the hell do you want?" "Diana." "She's not here." "She's in the bathroom." "Yes, she is." "You want me to call security?" "So they can put you under the jail?" "Good idea." "I'm sure they'd like to hear about an unregistered minor in your room." "19 is a legal adult in New York City." "Breaking and entering is a felony." "Unless you want me to call security, dance yourself out of here." "Call 'em." "Yes, give me security." "Don't do this." "What I do is NONE of your business!" "You made me go to an audition." "I fail." "And you can't fix my life." "You're right, OK?" "But I'm going to be gone soon - maybe tonight or tomorrow or the next day." "I'm going to be out of your life, but you're not." "One time, OK?" "Yeah, until the next time when you need food or a place to sleep again." "You sell yourself every night." "I sell an illusion." "It's not me." "This is all I have left." "No, no." "That's not true." "You've...you've got your talent." "This is the only talent they want from a deaf girl." "That's a lie." "That's a lie, and you know it." "This man is harassing the young lady." "When I asked him to leave, he refused." "You lying dog!" "Is that true?" "Come on, Diana." "Just say no." "Miss?" "Miss?" "No." "No, he's not." "He's my friend and I was just leaving." "Attagirl!" "Everything's gonna be OK." "You'll see." "(MUSIC PLAYS)" "Very nice." "I like it." "I like it." "Keep going." "Very nice." "Rod The Bod." "Sorry to bother you." "I sure didn't expect to see you after what happened yesterday." "I'm so sorry." "Listen." "Everybody deserves a second chance." "Absolutely." "Including Diana." "Look, even if she was the best dancer there," "I still couldn't have taken her." "Because she's deaf?" "I'm a running a professional dance company, not a social service." "You saw her dance." "You couldn't follow my instructions." "Because she couldn't see your lips." "If you'd be more aware when you were talking to her, there'd be no problem." "The hardest thing in the world is to get a dance company off the ground." "Being black didn't make it any easier." "All these people are my best." "Look...somebody gave you a chance, didn't they?" "Yeah." "That's all Diana wants." "Just a chance." "♪ CHERYL LYNN:" "Daybreak" "Jeez, Sam, you weren't kidding." "She's really terrific." "(APPLAUSE)" "What are you slapping me for?" "For almost letting her get away." "I got to tell you, I've never been so glad I was wrong." "She makes it?" "Oh, yeah, she makes it big." "In three years, she becomes Joanna's lead dancer and she finishes high school, which is the important part." "You did it, Sam." "No, no, she did it." "I was so wrong to turn you away." "Then, you teach me?" "Maybe we'll teach each other." "Well, Sam, uh..." "I think it's time to " "(APPLAUSE)" "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "It's one of the favourite songs of mine and I'm sure one of yours." "And that's Feelings..." "Feelings." "Feelings." "Yes, well, about now would be a good time to take a little pause to the old cause." "So, uh..." "Play Somewhere for me." "Somewhere?" "Come on, Chuck." "Do it for me." "Oh, boy." "itfc subtitles"
