"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?"

"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."
