Jesus Christ!

Alex! What the f***!

What are you doing?

You want to make a living

rolling around on your back?

- I make good money.

- Look at you!

I thought you wanted to be a dancer.

You call that dancing?

- What's this sh*t?

- Stop it, that's mine.

Why did you come here?

Because you're my friend. Jerk!

- "m cold.

- So am l.

- You don't say hello?

- No.

You didn't show up at work,

I was worried about you.

- You look like sh*t.

- Thanks a lot.

You're welcome.

Listen, I didn't come here to fight,

I came to see if you were OK.

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

- What doesn't matter?

- The audition. I don't care.

- You do care.

- I don't care.

You do care!

If you can't be

honest with yourself,

how the hell you're

going to be honest to me?

Now listen to me, Nick Hurley,

I don't need you telling me what to do.

I don't need to hear your sh*t.

I'm not a baby!

Get out of here!

Go play with your f***ing Porsche.

What you need is a kick in the ass.

You're not grown-up enough

to smoke.

You know, the truth is...

you're scared shitless

of going to that place, aren't you?

- I am not.

- Yes, you are.

And you're using me

as an excuse not to go.

Get out.

You're just going to piss it

all away, Alex.

Don't you understand?

When you give up your dream, you die.

See you.

Hanna?

Hanna?

Hanna?

Hanna?

She died.

Yesterday.

# lt's a song that just keeps playing

On the radio

# And you know

I haven't seen you for a while

# I lie awake at night

And wonder how you are

# And I wish that

I could see you again

# Is it fate

Or is it luck that brings us back

# Or is it just a

common point of view

# Time has put a spell on you

You never seem to change

# And I wish that

I could see you again

# I'll be here where the heart is... #

- Where have you been?

- No place.

- What are you doing?

- Getting my stuff.

What are you getting your stuff for?

Hey, you know, If it's that bad,

why don't you

slit your wrists and get it over with?

I thought nothing ever got you down.

You know, when I started out,

I was 17.

I used to work

in these old movie theatres.

Every cent I had,

I spent on costumes.

I had more fancy costumes

and dresses than you do.

When I went on that stage

I was looking so good.

One day I just stopped buying them.

I don't even know what happened.

I thought about it a lot.

I just can't seem to pin it down.

The dresses got old

and I just stopped wearing them.

I got some in a trunk.

I'll show you sometime.

OK.

What the hell.

lt's show time.

May the Lord be in your heart

and mind that you confess your sins

in the name of the father,

the son and the holy spirit.

Bless me father for I have sinned.

lt's been a long time

since my last confession.

I want...

I want so much.

# First, when there's nothing...#

Can I start again?

# First, when there's nothing

# But a slow, glowing dream

# That your fears

# Seems to hide

# Deep inside

# Your mind

# All alone

# I have cried

# Silent tears

# Full of pride

# In a world

# Made of steel

# Made of stone

# What a feeling

# Being's believing

# I can have it all

# Now "m dancing for my life

# Take your passion

# And make it happen

# Pictures coming alive

# Now "m dancing through my life

# What a feeling

# What a feeling

# Being is believing

# I can have it all

# Now "m dancing for my life

# Take your passion

# And make it happen

# Pictures come alive

# You can dance right through your life

# What a feeling

# Being's believing

# I can have it all

# Now "m dancing for my life

# Take your passion

# Make it happen

# Pictures come alive

# You can dance

# Right through your life

# What a feeling

# What a feeling

# I can have it all

# Now "m dancing for my life

# Come on, come on

# Take it now

# Make it happen

# I can have it all

# Now "m dancing for my life #

# "m going on a manhunt

# Turn it around

# Women have been hunted

# Now we hunt around

# Manhunt

# We all got the need

# The one who's been waiting

# Has taken the lead

# "m going on a manhunt

# "m out for the kill #

# He says that 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

# You've got to walk right through the fire

# It will not burn you

# The once you may love

# Only life won't make it

Or just burn away #

# Just a still town girl on a Saturday night

# Looking for the fight of her life

# In the real time world

No one sees her at all

# They all say she's crazy

# Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart

# Changing woman into life

# She has danced into the danger zone

# When the dancer becomes the dance

# It can cut you like a knife

If the gift becomes the fire

# On a wire between will and what will be

# She's a maniac, maniac

On the floor

# And she's dancing

Like she's never danced before

# She's a maniac, maniac

On the floor

# And she's dancing

Like she's never danced before

# It can cut you like a knife

# If the gift becomes the fire

# On a wire between will

And what will be

# She's a maniac, maniac,

I sure know

# And she's dancing

Like she's never danced before #
