who take dance seriously...

...to waste time and space

on someone who isn't dedicated.

- But I am dedicated.

- I'm sorry, Lisa. I don't see it.

I got into this school, didn't I?

We made a mistake.

Sometimes it just doesn't work out.

- You'll get over it.

- I'll work harder.

- Maybe.

- I promise I'll be better.

Better isn't good enough.

I don't think you'll ever

be good enough. You don't have it.

That's a hard thing to hear, and it's not

pleasant to say, but it's the truth.

I'm saving you a lot of time and pain

by saying it now.

I don't wanna be the best.

- Well, you won't be.

- I just wanna dance.

- Well, you'll never be a Mikhail, Lisa.

- I can't fail, Miss Berg.

- I only ever wanted to be a dancer.

- You'll get over it.

- What do I tell my mother?

- Have her call me and I'll explain.

Sh*t.

I'm singin'in the rain

Just singin' in the rain

What a glorious feeling

I'm happy again

I'm laughing at clouds

So dark up above

The sun's in my heart

- And I'm ready for love

- For love

Let the stormy clouds chase

Everyone from the place

Come on with the rain

I've a smile on my face

/ walk down the lane

With a happy refrain

Just singin' and dancin'

In the rain

I'm sing in' in the rain

Just singin' in the rain

What a glorious feeling

I'm happy again

I'm laughing at clouds

I'm ready for love

F*** it. If I can't dance,

I'll change to the drama department.

I tell you,

you're a f***ing good actress.

I heard the b*tch came down

on her real hard.

- So? Life comes down hard.

- She just took a real bad dump, kid.

Better she realizes it now

than OD in some motel room at 30.

You might show

a little more sympathy, dear.

- I'm not "dear. "

- Evidemment.

You're not tres sensitive either.

I'm a professional.

A few unkind words aren't

going to bother me none.

- I know it won't all be standing ovations.

- Certainly not for you, my dear.

Look, I'm not "my dear. "

You can f*** "my dear. "

Well, thank you. That might be fun.

And that might be impossible.

He's not into vanilla.

Might be a nice change

from black cherry.

The darker the berry,

the sweeter the juice, honey.

Yes, but who wants diabetes?

I mean, you don't understand.

Listen to me, man.

Diction. Watch your diction, Ralph.

You're slurring your words.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Marlon Brando slurred his words.

Montgomery Clift and

James Dean slurred their words.

They were the greatest actors in the

world. Nobody could understand them.

Wait a second. What's so funny?

Hey, it's Raul.

Where's my two chicks, huh?

Look at you! You got so big!

Where is Mom? Is she home?

Hey! Hey!

Hey, cupcake. Come here, cupcake.

F*ggot.

That's what you are now, man.

What you doing? Whoa! Damn, man.

F*ggot! F*ggot!

- valley

I'm treading the road of care

My feet entangled with briars

Ready to cast me down

He'll never leave you alone

Martelli! Bruno Martelli!

Sh*t!

I think she's in love.

In the beginning

she's not in love with him-

- God, you live here, Montgomery?

- Yeah.

- This is a great pad.

You like it?

It's great. What happened to all

your furniture? You get ripped off?

- It closed in Cincinnati.

- What's that mean?

My mom kept saying she was gonna

fix it up when she got into a long run.

- She's got a lousy choice in plays.

- It's perfect.

We don't need nothing for rehearsal.

Ready when you are, Mr. Director.

- All right, page one, Act 1.

- All right, page one, Act 1.

Raul?

Raul?

If you're kicked around enough,

you get to be a real professor of pain.

I know how you feel.

But I'm having a real good time now.

I'm enjoying myself.

So you see, you're not such

a dog as you think you are.

I'm having a very good time too.

So there you are. I'm not such a dog

as I think I am.

I think you're a very nice guy.

I don't know why

a girl hasn't grabbed you.

Yeah, I don't either. I am a nice guy.

I'm also a real smart guy too.

Wait. There's a whole speech yet.

You're not supposed to kiss yet.

Ralph. Doris. Ralph, you have a whole

speech here you haven't even done.

Ralph, you're not supposed to kiss yet.

My mother was French

and very beautiful.

Straight out of some chateau.

She danced every night for hours.

Daddy was in Washington

or out to dinner with clients...

...while Mom was with Tchaikovsky,

Ravel, Mantovani.

You'll meet my stepmother, Claudia.

Trainee witch.

No cracks about being Chinese.

She's had her eyes fixed.

She recuperated in Palm Springs,

where she had her purse stolen.

She lost all her credit cards.

Dad doesn't want to report it, though.

The thief is spending less than she did.

Hi, Daddy.

Hi.

Oh, this is Leroy. Homework.

Sometimes I wonder

Where I been

Who I am

Do I fit in?

Make believin'

Is hard alone

Out here on my own

We're always provin'

Who we are

Always reach in'

For that risin' star

To guide me far

And shine me home

Out here on my own

When I'm down and feelin' blue

/ close my eyes so I can be with you

Oh, baby, be strong for me

Baby, belong to me

Help me through

Help me need you

Until the morning

Sun appears

Making light

Of all my fears

/ dry the tears

I've never shown

Out here on my own

But when I'm down and feelin' blue

/ close my eyes so I can be with you

Oh, baby, be strong for me

Baby, belong to me

Help me through

Help me need you

Sometimes I wonder

Where I've been

Who I am

Do I fit in?

/ may not win

But I can't be thrown

Out here

On my own

Out here

On my own

That was nice. Really.

Sentimental sh*t.

That was beautiful!

That was beautiful.

It was beautiful.

- Yeah, this is it here.

- You live here?

My sister lives here.

I'm always welcome.

- Very nice.

- Yeah.

They're very fancy, huh?

I'll wait till you get inside.

No. It's okay. Really.

- Okay.

- It's a good neighborhood.

- It's not much, but-

- Please, come on. That's not necessary.

I should pay you.

You know, I play your tapes

for my customers, you know.

They love that stuff.

My tips go up 20 percent, at least.

- And my son is happy.

- He's writing some good sh*t too.

We're gonna be all over the charts

one of these days.

- You make him happy, you know that?

- We're a hot team, you know.

- You make him hotter. You know?

- Sure.

I seem to have that effect on people.

What can I do? Thanks again.

- Good night, Bruno.

- Night. Take it easy.

Good night.

You're crazy.

You call a doctor?

I don't think she's hurt.

Since when are you

in the thinking business?

She's frightened.

- She's 5 f***ing years old!

- Please keep your voice down.

Raul!

- You're in a church.

- You're in the Dark Ages!

You kiss my ass, Padre.

She needs a doctor! A doctor!

Not the goddamn Holy Ghost!

Is she all right?

You're not attacked by a creep

at 5 years old and all right.

I'm sorry.

Doris, I wasn't there!

I wasn't f***ing there!

What about your father?

I happen to be between

fathers right now.

What does that mean?

You got to understand something.
