Barrel turn! Barrel turn!

And pirouette!

Stop! Enough!

What is wrong with you guys?

You look older than me!

We open in three weeks.

This is not hard.

It's music, it's movement,

It's passion.

Just let your body

feel the beat.

Just dance.

Ohh!

Oh, these knobby knees!

See? Not so difficult.

Oh, my gosh, are you

okay? Yeah, I'm fine.

Just because you're my daughter doesn't

mean you can be late for rehearsal.

Oh, harper. Is it the

knee again? Uh-huh.

Come on, let's help her

up. I'll get some aspirin.

Are you sure you're okay? I'm fine.

Why were you late?

And don't tell me

it's that wedding stuff again.

The ceremony is Saturday.

We've been very busy with the-

I know, and I agreed to

let you have the weekend off

As long as it

didn't affect rehearsals.

Today is Monday,

the investors are coming,

And we have to show them

that we're ready.

I'm dropping out

of the show.

What are you talking about? You

can't drop out. You're the lead.

Marco and I discussed it,

And after the wedding I want

to stay in Italy with him.

Pumpkin, we go on in three

weeks. You can't stay in Italy.

This show is gonna

make you a star!

Oh, I see. This is

his idea, isn't it?

No. We made the decision

together.

Well, you didn't

discuss it with me.

Amanda!

Where is that aspirin?!

Help me look

through these bags.

Not one of you

has any aspirin?

How do you call

yourselves dancers?

Come here. Julia.

Go see if the korean market

is still out of aspirin.

If so, buy booze.

As for the rest of you, if you

value your careers and your lives,

Keep searching.

Harper:

You've only

Known him three months.

I love him.

I know how you're

feeling right now.

I did this whirlwind romance,

got totally swept away,

And look what happened to me.

After your father left me-

you threw him out.

Whatever dad

did or didn't do-

There wasn't much

he didn't do.

I'm not gonna let you

ruin your life

By trading in your dreams

For some ridiculous

fairy tale in Italy.

I want the fairy tale!

A role like this only comes

around once in a lifetime!

A love like this only comes

around once in a lifetime.

What's that?

Hmm.

"vitality tonic."

Eighty proof.

The playboy prince?

Is this who you want to

give everything up for?

He's young, gorgeous,

italian,

He's the heir to

a textile fortune-

Women throw themselves at him.

And boy,

does he catch 'em!

Not anymore.

He's done playing the field.

He's left that all behind.

He promised.

Promises. What about

the promise you made to me

To come back after the

wedding and be my star?

I know. I'm sorry, but I'm

not gonna change my mind.

You are contractually obligated

to perform in the show!

You're gonna sue me?

For our own good.

Mirabella!

Mirabella, you cannot

walk out on me!

You are so banned from my

wedding! You wouldn't dare! Ohh!

I'm getting on a plane tonight,

and I don't want to see you there!

You can't ban me!

I'm your mother!

Amanda, aspirin!

I've got something

for you.

Aramid o'malley's

astonishing vitality tonic.

Never heard of it.

It's eighty proof.

Well, that'll work.

Oh.

Thank you, julia.

We're already over schedule.

We can't postpone the show.

Harper, the investors

are showing up in two days.

Reschedule. Tell 'em

we'll be ready on Monday.

What?! No! The wedding is on Saturday!

If it happens.

Harper, you cannot

stop this wedding.

She's under his sway.

She's not thinking clearly.

Runs in the family.

Harper, are you flying

all the way to Italy?

Don't get on that plane,

harper.

( pop music

sung in italian )

Ohh!

Ow!

Excuse you!

Knee hurts.

Oh. Uhh.

Aspirin.

Where is that aspirin?

Ah...

"look younger than you feel."

That does me no good.

Hmm.

Not bad. Kind of minty.

Whoa.

Whoa...

Whoa.

Ooh-whoa.

Whoa!

Oh!

Oh...

Whoa! Ah...

Whoa! Whoa!

( coughing )

( turns on faucet )

Aaaah!

Aaah!

Aaaah!

Oh, god! What's happening?

Is this a blood clot?

Am I having an aneurysm?

What the hell

is in this stuff?

I'm...

I'm young.

Oh...

My...

God.

clock strikes

upon the hour

and the sun

begins to fade

there's still enough time

to figure out

how to chase

my blues away

I've done all right

up till now

it's the light of day

that shows me how

and when the night falls

the loneliness calls

oh, I wanna dance

with somebody

I wanna feel the heat

with somebody

yeah, wanna dance

with somebody

with somebody who loves me

oh, I wanna dance

with somebody

I wanna feel the heat

with somebody

yeah wanna dance

with somebody

with somebody who loves me

I've been in love

and lost my senses

spinning through the town

sooner or later

the fever ends

and I wind up feeling down

I need a man

who'll take a chance

on a love that

burns hot enough to last

so when the night falls

my lonely heart calls

oh, I wanna dance

with somebody

I wanna feel the heat

with somebody

yeah wanna dance

with somebody

with somebody

who loves me

oh, I wanna dance

with somebody

I wanna feel the heat

on a love that burns

hot enough to last

so when the night falls

my lonely heart calls

Amanda.

Who's this?

It's me.

Harper?

Are you okay?

You sound weird.

Ahem.

Ahem! My throat is

a little swollen.

I must have caught

something on the flight.

How's the knee?

It's, um...

Better. A lot better,

actually.

That tonic really

did the trick.

One of the dancers found it

here in the theater. Why?

I had the tiniest, sort

of miniscule, you know...
