Holiday Spin Page #2

Too late.

It's never too late

to try to make things right.

I'm trying, Emily.

I'm really trying.

I know.

[Pia]:
can you imagine

losing your mom

just before the holidays?

Poor guy.

[Sighing]

enough about that.

Don't.

Rob, stop it.

Don't.

I'm not ready.

[Sighing]

Are you mad at me?

I just...

I've got a lot on my mind.

You're leaving?

I'm tired.

You're not even

going to kiss me goodbye?

I'll see you tomorrow.

[]

[Uptempo piano plays distantly]

Okay, dance through it,

let's go.

Up on the one.

Lead with the heel...

[]

Butterfly.

And one more time

from the top.

Let's go.

[Metronome taps in]

[Music starts]

Rob, too aggressive

with the throw.

It's on the one.

You must be Blake.

Josh.

[]

Lead with the heel.

All right, just

dance through it.

Let's go.

You dance?

Nah. you?

With Mandy.

She'll be here in a bit.

Right on.

Butterfly...

They are good,

aren't they?

Pia's Ruben's prodigy.

Maybe it's the coach.

Okay, okay,

'Kay, 'Kay, 'Kay...

Listen.

Come here.

Hey, don't get frustrated.

You've only been dancing

together for a couple of weeks.

It's gonna take time

for you guys

to get used to each other.

They're going too fast.

Who the hell are you?

Blake, do me a favor,

keep it to yourself.

Fine.

All right, come on.

Once again,

from the top.

[Metronome taps in]

[Music starts]

There you go.

Uh, Blake?

Blake...

Look, pia and Rob just started

practicing together,

so it's

a delicate time for them.

Okay.

All right, no comments

when they're working?

Fine.

-Because it's distracting--

-okay.

I appreciate your input,

so if you have something to say,

just tell me.

Are we done?

Yes.

[Door slams]

[Distant moans]

[Sighs of passion

from bedroom]

[Music blaring in earbuds]

[Distant argument interrupts]

[Rob]:

it was an accident!

[Pia]:

you lied to me!

[Turns off music]

It just happened.

How could you do

something like that?

I wasn't trying

to hurt you.

You cheated on me.

With tezza?

Are you kidding me?

We're in a relationship.

Eight weeks

and nothing from you--

everything okay?

Everything's fine.

No, it's not.

I think you'd better leave.

Are you sure

this is what you want?

Yes.

Positive?

Please leave.

I'll see you around.

Whatever.

Blake?

Do you have any idea

what happened between

Rob and pia last night?

Why don't you ask her?

She won't tell me.

She says she doesn't

want to talk about it.

Last time I saw them,

they were downstairs practicing.

Now, all of a sudden,

they're not dancing together.

Ask pia.

Did you have anything

to do with that?

Are you kidding me?

[Scoffs]

Blake...

[Car stereo blasting]

[Rob, icily]:
'Sup, cuz...

Hey, I'm talking

to you, tough guy.

What,

you not so tough

anymore?

Look man,

I don't want

any trouble.

Come on.

Take a swing.

You'd better get out of my way.

Or what?

You okay?

I'm all right.

You two want to

make this an even fight?

Ce on, man, let's jet.

[Car peels away,

tires squealing]

You fight?

In north Carolina.

Looking for a place to train?

Definitely.

Hit my gym.

It's just around the corner.

I will.

[]

He won't even

look at her.

Unfortunately,

he's more interested

in the mirror.

Come on, more interaction.

More passion.

This is rhumba.

It's the dance of love.

Here, watch this.

[]

Two, three and four...

Two, three and four.

One.

[Ruben]:
is it me,

or am I just not

getting to this guy?

Give him a chance.

Hey, Blake.

Pia!

Maintain focus.

Take a break.

[Ruben sighing]:

What a mess.

There's no time here...

How you holding up?

I've been better. You?

All right.

Thanks for last night.

How's the search

for a new partner?

[Routine's music plays]

You know he's not

the right fit.

How do you know?

[Quietly]

don't waste your time.

[Ruben]:
he's purposely trying

to sabotage her career.

Now you're just

being silly.

Why would he

do that?

To spite me.

You don't

know that.

I can tell.

Well, he might have a point.

Are you siding with him?

Maybe pia needs someone

with a little bit

more confidence.

That guy took third place

at nationals last year.

He's a hell of a dancer.

Maybe he's not right for pia.

Are you saying

Blake knows better?

What I'm saying is

maybe you should keep

an open mind.

Hey, Blake.

Um...

I'm on my way to go get a tree.

I could use a hand.

Sure.

This is gonna be

in lousy shape.

It's too dry.

What do you think

of Miami so far?

Too dry.

Christmas was...

Your mother's

favorite holiday.

Look, we don't

have to do this.

What about that one?

[Inhaling]

There's no scent.

So, are you comfortable?

Is the room okay?

I'm fine. It's fine.

Uh, I'd like to

pay for it.

You don't have to pay--

I want to.

Okay.

And food.

It's your call.

May I ask you

what your plans are?

After you turn 18?

I'm going back home.

Nothing I could do

to change your mind?

Can we just find a tree?

[Christmas Carols playing

loudly]

Come on

and sleigh ride with me

you know how happy we'll be

oh, on a sleigh ride

with me...

[]

Come on

a sleigh ride with me...

Hey, do you want

some more eggnog?

Oh, no, I'm fine, thank you.

Are you sure?

'Cause we have plenty.

No, that's okay.

You hungry?

You want me to make you

something to eat?

No, I'm good, thank you.

Okay.

[New song starts]

Ooh! turn it up.

[Turns up volume]

["Jingle bells" plays]

Where are you going?

To bed.

It's 9:
00, old man.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Um, there's just this new gym

i want to check out.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

No, it's not your fault.

[Sobbing]

Losing a parent

over the holidays.

I can't imagine

anything more horrible.

Maybe losing a kid.

Do you think he blames himself?

I don't know.

When do I get to meet him?

Tramp.

[Chuckling]

[Pouring water]

Oh...my...g--

whatever happened to

waking up early?

I couldn't sleep.

Oh. sorry.

This is Mandy,

Josh's dance partner.

Mandy. Blake.

Going to work out?

Yeah, um...

I'll talk to you later.

Have fun.

[Sighs]

You didn't tell me?

[Cell phone rings]

Rob?

Jerk!

[Beeps phone off]

[Chuckles]

[Laughing]

[]

Just moved in

two months ago.

Got a great deal

on the lease.

Hoping to expand.

[Metronome ticking,

music plays]

Good, pia.

No, no, you need to lead her.

She is leading you.

Take control,

she'll follow you.

Let her do the work.

No, no, let me show you.

Let me show you.

Five, six, seven, eight...

Okay?

Simple.

Sorry, I can

come back later.

No, it's all right.

What's up?

I saw the look on your face.

What do you mean?

Don't act like you don't know

what I'm talking about.

Look, I don't want to get

in the middle of this.

You think you can do better?

I don't dance.

Liar.

We'll pick this up later.

Hey...

I have nothing to say to you.

Please, just give me

a chance to explain.

Explain what?

Do you really think that

this is something

you can talk your way out of?

I messed up, pia.

No, Rob.

You mess up a step.

A turn. A lift.

What you did
