have it to give to her right now.

She's going to be all right.

She'll be fine.

Come on, don't go yet. I'll make

some coffee, we can sit and talk.

I can't. I mean...

What am I going to do here?

Cook hamburgers

and pretend "m a comedian?

I'll miss you.

Can't forget my hat.

Good luck.

Give me a turkey sandwich

and a diet 7-Up.

- "ve got that.

- Save your money.

- I was just buying you lunch.

- I don't want you buying me anything.

- I don't want you buying me, period.

- What's the matter?

- "ve got eyes.

- What are you talking about?

I didn't know you were a ballet fan,

I thought you liked it private.

How quickly they forget.

At the dance benefit.

The blonde in the white dress.

Who's the goddamn blonde, Nick?

Blonde?

Wait a minute.

Will you wait a minute?

Wait a minute!

What's going on here?

Is everybody crazy?

Last night, some idiot throws

a rock through my window...

- I broke your f***ing window!

- You what?

You heard me.

I smashed your stupid window.

Are you crazy?

Are you out of your mind?

Maybe.

It cost me a $170.

I had to special order it.

You've got the money!

Go f*** the blonde!

She's my ex-wife.

We have friends on the Arts Council.

I see her once a year

to take her to the stupid benefit!

Why am I explaining myself?

You didn't have to

break my window.

I did it because...

you pissed me off.

When I was a kid all I wanted was

to afford to eat in restaurants like this.

- Were you poor?

- Poor?

I was so poor

I had hand-me-down lunches.

It was rough in the old days.

I used to steal

hubcaps with Johnny C.

You did?

How's the lobster?

It sucks.

Want some of mine?

I'm not hungry, thanks.

Whatever turns you on.

What turns you on?

You like phone booths?

Phone booths?

You probably just like

doing it in bed, right?

- You two look cosy.

- Alex, this is Katie.

Hello.

Nick has told me all about you.

Hi.

- You're not really a welder, are you?

- Yes, I really am.

And you really take your

clothes off at night?

- I don't really take them off.

- I was under the impression that you did.

You look great, Nicky.

I don't know why you didn't look

this good when we were married.

- It probably was the company I was keeping.

- That was good. That's funny.

- Has he taken you to the steel mill yet?

- That's enough, Katie.

He likes to go there on his first date.

That was your first date, wasn't it?

Yeah, it was.

As a matter of fact...

I f***ed his brains out.

Obviously, you did.

Charmed, dear.

You loved her once,

didn't you?

I thought I did in the beginning.

She was different from anyone

I had gone out with before, she was...

Well educated.

Came from a real good family.

I figured that I had really made it.

And one day, I...

realised that...

I'd just taken the safe route.

When I realised that, somehow it made it

easier for me to do what I had to do.

What was that?

Let go. Start over again.

Figure out what it was

I wanted to do and go after it.

You got it, didn't you?

How did you do it?

I took a deep breath and jumped.

Hello.

I'd like to apply for admission

to the Repertory Company.

When you fill out this application,

be sure to write down all your years

of previous dance training.

Starting with the last school

you attended.

I know that part.

Auditions are by invitation only

and are performed

before the committee

and select members

of the Repertory Company.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Good morning.

Good morning.

May I help you?

Yes. There was a young woman here

a short time ago, wearing an army jacket.

She was here.

I was talking to her...

about admission

to the Repertory Company.

Mr Bradley, please.

Nick Hurley.

Larry! Hey.

Great. Great.

Listen, are you still

on the Arts Council?

I need a favour

for a special friend.

# My baby wears his

heart on his sleeves

# He wears a look on his face

That says please, please, please, love it

# Everything he wants, love it,

Everything he wants

# I just can't hesitate

When he wants what he wants

# Oh, chaka...#

He called!

# Oh chaka, oh chaka,

Oh chaka, oh chaka

# Last night he called

on the telephone

# And though at two in the morning...#

- Trick or treat?

- Hey, throw that bum out!

I told you they didn't like

short people down there.

Richie!

Richie!

- Did you check out the clubs there?

- Yeah.

- Come on, what happened?

- One of them offered me a job.

Oh, really, that's great!

As a waiter. I said,

"Me, a waiter? You got to be crazy.

"l can't take a job as a waiter.

"m a cook."

Hi, Richie.

Hi, Jeanie.

- I missed you.

- All those girls out there?

Oh, come on. There were

no girls out there.

That's why you

called me every night?

Hey, it's the cook!

Or is it the comedian?

Nice suit, Richie.

- Let's go, Jeanie.

- See you later, Richie.

See you around.

The audition!

I got it! I got it!

Nick, wait up!

- Look! Wait!

- What's going on?

- Read it.

- What?

I got the audition, look.

I applied for the Repertory Company.

You have to be invited before

you can audition and they invited me.

- Isn't that great?

- That's wonderful.

- We have to do something about it.

- When?

- How about tonight?

- Yes.

Hanna?

Hanna?

Well... I did it.

I knew you would.

Congratulations.

I'm so excited I can't stop shaking.

But what if I don't make it?

You will.

I know you will.

Oh, Hanna. What

would I do without you?

I loved the dinner.

And I loved the way

they sat us right away, and...

I loved that there were 50 people

waiting and we just whizzed in.

I called the restaurant last night...

and told them it was

a very special occasion.

What do you mean

you called them last night?

- Stop the car.

- Why?

Stop the goddamn car!

Come on! You

called them last night

but I didn't tell you I got the

audition until this morning. Great!

So how the hell did you know?

- Alex, listen.

- Friends on the committee, huh Nick?

A**hole! Stop the car!

- Alex!

- Let me go.

You have no right to help me!

I don't want you to help me!

You're out of your mind?

You're going to get yourself killed!

All I did was make a phone call.

One phone call.

I got you the audition,

the rest is up to you.

The whole thing has to be up to me!

"m not going to the stupid audition!

Good evening, Mawby's.

- Is Jeanie there?

- Alex, where have you been all week?

Come on, Jake, I don't want to hear it.

Is she there?

Alex, she doesn't work for me any more.

She's over at the Zanzibar.

- What?

- You heard me.

# Living on the edge

# Sliding downhill to where

The good girls don't but the bad girls will

# Bad girls will

# Don't wanna know your name

You can tell me lies

# Show me all the secrets

Hidden in your thighs, in your thighs

# Seduce me tonight

# Seduce me tonight

# I'll play acts at the stage

Dim the lights

# And baby, seduce me tonight

# I wanna be your slave

Set me in scene

# Take me all the places...#

Come on, Jeanie.

We're getting out of here.

No!

Alex! Alex!
