Go for It! Page #6

Synopsis: Carmen is a good student with a bad attitude who lives for dancing in the underground clubs of Chicago. She yearns to be 'somebody' but is afraid to believe in herself. Her immigrant Mexican, working-class parents want her to stay in school and get an education, so she attends junior college while working at a grocery store. Carmen's professor catches her performing one day in the neighborhood and challenges her to audition to a formal dance school in California. She gets into a fight with her chaotic family and runs away to her best friend Gina's place only to find out Gina's been getting beat up by her boyfriend. Meanwhile, Carmen's boyfriend, Jared wants her to commit and move in with him. Pulled apart in every direction, her dream of dancing fades. Can Carmen overcome her fears and take the biggest chance of her life, or will she succumb to her self-doubt?

Same to you.

Did you get struck

by Latin lightning or something?

What the hell.

I don't believe it.

- It's pretty wild.

- Yeah, it's pretty good.

Hey, girl.

I broke up with Jared.

Yeah.

It was tough,

but gotta do what you gotta do, right?

My dance routine is looking really good.

I think you're gonna love the ending.

I miss you.

Look, Carm, I made it for you. You like it?

Oh, my God. I love it.

And so does the boogeyman!

I'm the tickling monster!

Are you still convinced you're not ticklish?

I don't think so, buddy. I don't think so.

I have something for you.

You made this for me?

For your dream.

Thank you.

Okay.

Miss Carmen Salgado?

Carmen, you take forever,

we're gonna be late.

Hey, now don't be nervous, okay?

Remember everything we did.

Remember?

Remember that one move I showed you?

You can start with the heartbeat.

Remember, answer the phone?

Pick up the phone. Answer the phone.

Who is it? Who is it?

No, can't talk right now.

Remember? You want me to show you

the Superman again?

It's like...

Now, don't get nervous.

You look like you're nervous.

It says here you don't have

a dancing background.

No.

We gonna get this one, girl.

We gonna get this.

You're gonna move to LA.

You're gonna have a life.

You're not gonna be like Jesse and me.

You know, he's all, whatever.

And you can get out of here.

Remember what Mom always said.

"Go for it!"

This is a rigorous program that only

admits exceptionally trained talent.

Do you honestly believe

you meet the criteria?

Stay focused, stay focused.

You wanna go over anything?

You want me to show you

the heartbeat again?

The puppets?

This is your time, girl. This is your time.

You go out there

and do this for the Salgado family, shoot.

Don't make me get out there

and show them what's up.

Just stay focused.

Okay, just think good thoughts.

Remember we used to play in the park?

It was me, you and Gina.

Just think about those days.
