this luncheonette one day and...

we were all sitting around

doing nothing.

And he said that Arthur Murray

was giving a test for instructors.

So, if you passed...

they teach you different dances, show

you how to break them down, teach them.

What?

Good.

Don't look down.

Look here. Good.

And...

Now, bend your knees

and go up. Go, go.

Good try. Now, you'll hurt me

if you don't trust me, all right?

Now, go, go. Go.

Good. Now, I'm gonna go up.

You know, the best place

to practice lifts is in the water.

Just bend your knees.

And... go.

Good.

Good. Good.

Now hold the position. Hold it.

Good. Don't break! Don't break!

Let's do it again.

All right. One, two, three.

Oh, sorry.

Good. Keep-- No, don't.

It's not too bad.

- One more time.

- Okay. Over my head. Go.

I can't believe it's tonight.

I can't believe it's tonight.

Sheldrake's 20 minutes away.

We'll change in the car.

Mrs. Schumacher.

Hey, wait, we'll help you.

Such junk. Such junk.

Benny Bernstein's Dancing School,

that's where I went.

George Burns was a teacher.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

I'll just keep my shoulders down,

my head up...

I'll just keep my shoulders down,

my head up...

my frame locked,

stay on my toes...

What if I forget the steps?

Pull up, watch the frame.

And remember, let him lead you.

I'm afraid I'm gonna forget to spike,

get dizzy and fall on my face.

No. Don't look at my feet,

keep my head up, my eyes open...

tension in my arms, my frame locked,

seat pulled up...

Thanks, Baby.

I just want you to know

that I don't sleep around...

whatever Robbie might have told you.

And I thought that he loved me.

I thought it was something special.

Anyway, I just wanted you

to know that.

So, how does it look?

I'm scared.

I'm so scared, Baby.

Don't worry.

You'll be fine.

Bingo! Bingo! Bingo! That's right.

It's Thursday night at Kellerman's.

That's bingo night.

- Hey, how about a dance later?

- Could be. Who knows?

- Lisa, you have to do something for me.

- I don't have to.

Just tell Mom and Dad I have a headache

and I'm in bed, okay?

Bye.

in ""Mambo Magic.""

Relax.

Now spot a lead.

Wrong way!

Over here.

Ready for the lift?

Come on.

Keep going. Keep going.

...because wherever you are now,

I want you to look at the sky.

Look at those stars.

What a show. Here are The Drifters.

You did good. You worked hard.

I saw that old couple from Kellerman's

and I thought that was it.

Me too. Me too.

You know, by the second turn

you really had it.

- But I didn't do the lift.

- You did real good.

Thanks.

Johnny!

Come on. It's Penny.

- She wouldn't go until you returned.

- Did you call an ambulance?

She said the hospital would call

the police. She made me promise.

He didn't use no ether, nothing.

- I thought you said he was a real M.D.?

- He had a dirty knife and a table.

I could hear her screaming

in the hallway.

I swear to God,

I tried to get in.

It's all right. Johnny's here.

What? What is it, Baby?

- Is it Lisa?

- No.

Excuse me. Excuse me!

Everybody clear out, please.

Yes, I know that hurts.

We're gonna take care of that.

- Who's responsible for this girl?

- I am.

Please, is she--

Doc, thanks a lot.

I don't know how to thank you.

- Was that what my money paid for?

- I'm sorry. I never meant to lie.

You're not the person I thought

you were. I'm not sure who you are.

I don't want you to have anything

to do with those people.

Nothing! You're to have nothing

to do with them ever again!

I won't tell your mother about this.

Right now I'm going to bed.

And take that stuff off your face

before your mother sees you!

Is everything all right, Jake?

It's all right, Marjorie.

Go back to sleep.

Can I come in?

I got a-- I guess it's not a great room.

You probably got a great room.

No. It's a great room!

Leave it on.

I'm sorry about the way

my father treated you.

No. Your father was great.

He was great.

The way he took care of Penny.

I mean the way he was with you.

It's really me it has to do with.

Johnny, I came here

because my father--

No. The way he saved her--

I could never do anything like that.

That was something. People treat me

like I'm nothing because I am nothing.

That's not true!

You're everything!

You don't understand the way it is

for somebody like me.

Last month I'm eating candy

to stay alive.

This month, women are stuffing

diamonds in my pockets.

I'm balancing on sh*t

and I can be down there again.

No, it's not the way it is!

It doesn't have to be that way!

I've never known anyone like you.

You think you can make the world better.

Somebody's lost, you find them.

Somebody's bleeding--

I go get my daddy.

That's really brave, like you said.

That took a lot of guts

to go to him!

You are not scared of anything.

I'm scared of everything!

I'm scared of what I saw.

I'm scared of what I did,

who I am.

I'm scared of walking out of here and

never feeling for the rest of my life...

the way I feel

when I'm with you!

Dance with me.

What, here?

Here.

Singers, dancers, actors,

this is your lucky day!

Auditions for the annual Kellerman

end-of-the-season talent show...

beginning in the playhouse.

- Everyone gonna be in the show?

- We're leaving tomorrow.

Miss the weekend traffic.

But we're paid up 'til Sunday.

- And miss the show?

- I said we're leaving tomorrow.

- I was going to sing in the show.

- It's the big event.

People bring their own arrangements.

You don't want to miss it.

Baby, I need you for props.

Why would you want to leave early?

It was just an idea.

We can stay if you want to.

- So, what were you planning to sing?

- ""l Feel Pretty.""

Or ""What Do the Simple Folk Do?""

Or ""l Feel Pretty.""

What do you think, Daddy?

You look much better.

You just missed your father.

He's such a wonderful man.

I'm sorry. I didn't realize--

You couldn't have. It's okay.

- So, how you doin'?

- I'm okay.

Dr. Houseman says

I'm going to be fine.

- I can still have children.

- Oh, Penny, that's really great.

So, how did it go last night?

Good.

Fine. I didn't do the lifts,

but it was good.

Well, I guess I gonna go.

See ya.

- So, he says you're going to be fine?

- What are you doing?

- I'll tell Max your grandmother died.

- How many times have you told me...

never get mixed-up with them?

I know what I'm doing.

You listen to me.

You've got to stop it now.

Look, I gotta run.

I got a lesson with the Kramers.

They'll kill each other

if I'm not there.

Well, sure. You've gotta go.

I'll see ya.

It's rainy day game time.

Pin the tail on the guest.

Win ten boxes of Kleenex

or a billy goat!

God, I am so sick of this rain.

Remind me not to take my honeymoon

at Niagara Falls.

So, you go to Acapulco.

It'll be fine.

Where is my beige

iridescent lipstick?

I know I put it in this drawer.
