Still takes two.

I'm doing the best I can,

all right?

Let's just try it again, okay?

I don't teel

that we're getting high enough.

You'll never get the height

it you don't compress.

- I don't teel you under me.

- I'm going to Vegas.

Ready?

Wait a minute.

We miss this one sometimes.

- I miss all the time.

- You'll be fine.

Will you?

- Let's stop tor the day, okay?

- Great.

I had tun the other day.

Thanks tor driving me.

What about going to the club again?

Maybe you're atraid

to dance my way.

Saturday.

Deal.

Wow, that was great.

- What?

- You missed it.

My mother made me take

a little ballet.

He can pick me up

anytime he wants to.

Take a number, sister.

Don't loosen up too much.

It's crowded.

What do you mean?

We have the whole tloor.

You see?

You should've let me drop you otf.

It's close enough to walk trom here.

I should see you home.

Thank you.

I had a good time.

I have an early day tomorrow.

I had a very nice time.

What are you

still doin' up, pumpkin?

Oh, I'm sorry

about the sprinklers.

Oh, my God, you are soaked.

This is my son, Peter.

You'd better come inside

and dry ott.

Yeah, sure.

Well, we can't have you

getting sick.

Well, I'm on my way.

Good night, mister.

- You had a good time?

- Yes, thank you.

I know my men.

It's almost dry.

Why didn't you tell me?

I would've.

Are you still married?

We were just partners.

You spend a lot of time...

with partners.

He was gone

long betore Peter was born.

He lett you pregnant?

These are dry.

This is dry too.

Wait. I can't.

You're right.

Well, I'll be damned.

There's always a way.

Shoot, I reckon.

Didn't look that good new.

Good job.

I set it according to specs...

but it still misses.

She always did like it

a little rich.

Give me some R.P. M.

- Is that sweet?

- We still need tie rods...

and a new flywheel.

I'll take care ot it soon.

I'm gonna have to reimburse you

tor this.

I'll tell you what.

We'll take her tishin'

up the coast this weekend.

There's a great pier

a couple ot hours trom here.

You can meet me up there Friday night.

What do you say?

I say yes.

I'll be damned.

You done good work, son.

- Got a minute?

- Sure.

You used to love to dance.

Now it's a chore.

He litted me so easily...

and when he said

he had ballet training...

I'm just an amateur...

but I have put everything

that I have into this.

And if I don't think

that I have a chance...

well, then...

I'd rather not go.

I see.

I don't know how else

to say it.

You said it fine.

Matter of tact, my back's not arguin'

with you at all.

One, two.

And one, two,

one, two, three.

Very good.

Yes. Support my arm.

- That's good. Go around one more time.

- I didn't know he could do that.

He's been listening to me.

I can tell.

- I'm sorry.

- You okay?

- Are you okay?

- It's just a little otf.

Why don't we do stutt like that?

We have to make sure

that we're together.

It's okay.

We'll just try it again.

You ready?

Here it comes.

- Oh, wow.

- That's good.

Hey, I want to do that too.

I'm gonna get some water.

Heel, toe,

heel together.

- There you are.

- Thanks. I was wonderin' where I was.

These are all paid.

For Las Vegas, switch Rafael's name

with mine on Patricia's entry.

I'm not gonna go.

And take Michael and Ruby

otf the pro list.

Cancel all their lessons

till Vegas.

They're not competin',

and she's leavin' early.

Why?

I don't know.

I just got a note.

By the way...

I'll be outta here

tomorrow night.

You need to talk to me?

I heard you're dancing

with Patricia.

I think it's great.

Who are you dancing with?

You are going back to him.

I'm going back to dance.

I know he hurt you.

It doesn't matter.

Peter matters.

I'll have a future

dancing with Julian...

and Peter can see his tather more.

I want him to teel

like he's got tamily.

Maybe he already feels that...

right here.

Good night.

What about the night we danced?

That was ditterent.

That's my point.

This is not easy for me.

Ot course it is.

That's why you are doing it.

I don't wanna be in love.

You wanna ride

one ot them ponies?

Hold on tight, cowboy.

I'm glad you could make it.

What's up?

I just want you to know that it's okay

with Steve that I'm leaving early.

He's ready tor Vegas.

And Bea and Lovejoy...

are gonna be taking care of Peter

while I'm gone.

I'm meeting Julian there.

I figured as much.

- And it we dance well...

- Which you will.

Then I'm moving to Chicago.

You're just scootin' right out ot here,

aren't ya?

I've been here longer

than I've been anywhere ever.

I'm gonna miss you in Vegas.

Twenty years ot it was enough.

Another month or two,

you'll find me up the coast.

You'll break a lot of hearts

when you close that studio.

What's gonna happen

to Rafael?

It's not my problem anymore.

- How do you know him?

- I knew his mother...

when we worked the cruise ships

way back when.

You're the one

trom the cruise ship.

Brought you a triend.

Hot night, ain't it?

That your only shirt?

Lucky tarpon shirt.

You know that.

Then I'm gonna shut

the kitchen down pretty soon...

so it you're hungry,

better make it.

You ever cast a long rod before?

I can do it.

Get some ice.

That kind ot weight

tends to spool that line quickly.

Throw me a beer.

It's nice here.

I don't know

what you're up to, triend...

but I don't have a son.

She's too heavy.

It she spools that reel,

she'll take the whole rig with her.

- Kid, can ya hold it?

- Yeah.

Where the hell

is my knite?

The line's going!

Why did you help me come here?

Did you feel guilty

because you lett her without a word?

You and I both know

she would've told me about you.

You would've called her

a liar too.

My mother never lied.

Let me be real clear.

About a mile down the beach there,

I'm buyin' a place.

I've been waitin' for this

a long time.

The studio will be history.

So go to Vegas...

earn yourself

a nice little bonus...

and then be on your way.

Get me?

Tell me.

What did your tather

think of my mother?

What did he tell her

when she called looking tor you?

What did he tell

the little Communist Cuban girl...

Iooking for his only son?

She did try to tell you.

But now that I know you...

I never would have.

Did you tell them?

Everybody!

Stetano has something

he's waited all his lite to say.

In John's absence

here and in Las Vegas...

I am in charge.

So it you have any questions...

please teel tree

to approach me anytime.

Thank you.
