- You'll just steal all their material.

- Hey, Alex.

- Let me go.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing to fight about.

- We're going to Cecil's.

- Let me go!

Drink a little wine.

Do a little weed. You and me.

How about Cecil?

You like Cecil?

- Get off of me!

- All three of us, real friendly.

Why don't you leave her

the f*** alone!

The comedian is

going to be a hero!

Cecil, what the f***

is wrong with you?

Let her go, Johnny.

What are you doing here, Nick?

Slumming?

This ain't your

neighbourhood no more.

I didn't mean nothing.

I just got pissed off.

- Send me a bill, kid.

- Let me see.

- Is it bleeding? Oh, Jesus!

- Yeah.

Come on.

Here's your hat.

- Are you OK?

- Yeah.

- Are you sure?

- l'm OK. lt'll look good on stage.

- lt's going to be fine.

- Are you sure?

- Sure you're going to be OK?

- Yeah, fine.

Listen, what can I say?

Thanks a lot.

l'll give you a lift home.

lt's OK. l've got a ride.

Thanks anyway.

- What's his name?

- Grunt.

- Grunt?

- Yeah.

I can see that I don't have to

worry about you.

What was he

before he became a dog?

Well, he gets upset when people

he doesn't know follow me home.

Come on, Grant. This is the

man that feeds you.

Tell you what...

Tell him l'll bring him a doggy bag

if you'll have dinner with me.

Nick, I told you I don't think it's a

good idea to go out with the boss.

OK. Have it your way.

You're fired.

l'll pick you up tomorrow at eight.

How long does this thing last?

lt's cold in here.

- How's the nose?

- lt's broken.

Broke mine three times.

It was big in the '50s, wasn't it?

Busting noses?

'60s.

Think she can beat her?

'Miss Szabo.'

You're going to do great.

# Gloria

# You're always on the run now

# Running after somebody... #

Go Jeanie! Come on!

# I think you've got to slow down

# Before you start to blow it

# I think you're heading for a breakdown

# So be careful not to show it... #

Oh... look at that one.

There you were 20 years ago,

sweetheart.

There we go. Come on!

# If everybody wants you

# Why isn't anybody calling?

# You don't have to answer... #

Come on, Jeanie!

# Calling Gloria

# Gloria

# I think they got the number

# I think they got the alias

# That you've been living under

# But you really don't remember

# Was it something that they said?

# All the voices in your head

# Calling Gloria... #

Get up, Jeanie!

lt's going to be OK.

All that time and practice.

What a waste.

- Goddamn waste of time.

- Come on, It was not.

It wasn't.

You went out there, didn't you?

At least you had the guts to try.

How are you doing, sport?

l'm sorry, Daddy.

I love you more than l've ever

loved anything in my whole life.

What the hell.

You bounced pretty good.

She practised for two years.

- She'll do better next time.

- There won't be any next time.

Thank you.

What do you feel like,

fish, chicken, steak?

- I know this terrific little...

- Pizza.

...Pizza place.

Jesus!...

- You really live here?

- Yeah.

It used to be a warehouse

before I moved in.

lt's different. Very different.

A whole lot different

than where l'm from.

Where is that?

Altoona, Pennsylvania.

Altoona!

I was thinking

more along the lines of Jupiter.

Actually, they're very close.

lt's just the next

lifeless planet over.

Really, it was pretty boring.

Except for maybe music.

- They have music in Altoona?

- Well, my father, he loves music.

This one time, he took us all

to the symphony, my whole family.

It was supposed to be

this really big deal.

At first I didn't like it very much.

There is nothing to do with your feet

and there's nothing really to look at.

lt's boring!

And I was ready to nod out,

or something.

He said to me...

..."If you close your eyes,

you can see the music".

You can, too.

Did you ever try?

See the music?

Come on, try.

Close your eyes.

Well?

Well...

I had a great time.

It was a terrific evening.

Don't you want some pizza?

Hey!

A little late, aren't you?

# Frightened by a dream

# You're not the only one

# Running like the wind

# Thoughts can come undone

# Dancing behind masks

Just subtle pantomime

# Lady, lady, lady

# I know it's in your heart to stay

# Lady, lady, lady

# When will I ever hear you say

I love you... #

What was that for?

I wanted to see how fast

you could run.

- How did I do?

- Fair.

# Lady, lady, lady

# Don't walk this lonely avenue

# Lady, lady, lady

# Let me touch that part of you.

You want me to... #

Do that again.

- What?

- That dance step you just did.

I can't, I was just fooling around.

"m not a dancer like that.

- What do you mean?

- "ve never studied before.

I mean, I read books and stuff

and I watch.

But "ve never taken dance classes.

There's all those dancers

in one room

watching each other

and... watching you.

But you dance in front of an audience

at the club every night.

No, but lt's different.

I never see them.

You go out there, the music starts

and you begin to feel it.

And your body just starts to move.

I know it sounds really silly.

But something inside of you

just clicks.

You just take off

and you're gone.

lt's like you're somebody else

for a second.

Some nights, l...

Some nights I just can't wait

to get out there...

Just so I can disappear.

# Lady, lady, lady

# Don't walk this lonely avenue

# Lady, lady, lady

# Let me touch that part of you

You want me to #

# He says that he

he can read my mind

# The power to turn

iron into gold

# She says she's

seen the other side

# And knows the place

The fire burns all night

# There is an answer

to the question

# So long ago down below

# Once you have it,

It never goes away

# lt's in the pocket,

When you're really really lucky

# When your fantasy

becomes reality

# Living inside your imagination

# lt's in your pocket,

When you're really really lucky

# When your fantasy

becomes reality... #

How come you don't go up there

and dance?

You look like

you could dance real good.

I'm practising.

Yeah? You know how to do

the horizontal mambo?

Hey... Jeanie, I just kid around.

I don't mean nothing. Keep that.

That's $100.

I can't take this.

Keep it.

lt's my way of saying "m sorry.

Thanks.

# It will not burn you

# And the once you may love

Only life won't make it, or just burn away #

Hanna!

Hanna!

Oh Darling, here you are.

Bravo! Bravo!

At the end of every performance, does

the lead dancer always get flowers?

- Always.

- Did you get flowers like that?

- Not always.

- But once, right? At least once?

- How does that make you feel?

- You will let me know.

- Now, sleep well.

- You too.

You son of a b*tch!

Was that you

or the radiator, Grunt?

Oh, sh*t.

Shut up, Grunt.

- Hey, it's Richie!

- Hi.

The stupid radiator broke.

- I just wanted to say goodbye.

- Where are you going?

L.A.

- L.A?

- Yeah, I Got my car all packed.

I'm just going to get on the turnpike.

That's it. "m gone.

What about Jeanie?

Look, I love Jeanie. But I just don't
