Never found a flame to fan

You ditched my girls.

Did you get out OK?

I won't get used to this

No problem. So how do we end this mess

between our brothers?

And the dreams that came upon us

Found out they don't really want us

Chase them down and let them go

They run faster than you hoped

You don't give up, do you?

Could I hold you like a secret?

If I was strong enough to keep it

I want to fall for you, babe

I know it's nothing new, babe

Why does it all seem so hard lately?

I want to fall for you

Come on, man.

If you won't go out with me,

can we at least dance again?

I don't know.

Why does it all seem so hard lately?

I want to fall for you

I do. How about tomorrow?

I want to fall for you

Busy teaching class at B-LIVE.

5, 6, 7, 8...

Turn, jump!

Turn, jump!

Right!

Left!

Ho! Ho! Wow! Amazing. Next group.

Thanks.

- Hey, I'm here, right? Let's go.

- Okay.

You ready?

- Yeah. You want to speed up?

- Okay.

- Speed up?

- Let's go. 5, 6, 7, 8!

Turn, jump!

Turn, jump!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Come on. That wasn't bad, right?

I mean, it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad.

- Rookie.

- Sorry.

Okay, Bye bye. Good night. Bye.

Nice class.

Can't you take a hint?

I'm not going anywhere.

Not without that dance?

All right, one dance.

- What are you doing?

- Come on.

I... I never planned to hold out my hand

So take it or let it go

If you feel it inside

The love in your eyes

Cause sometimes

You never know

The lines of faith

The walls come down

And I'll be waiting

So let me in

I won't let you fall

We could have it all

'Cause in our dreams things are better

Than what they've been

So let me in

So let me in

I won't let you fall

We could have it all

Cause in our dreams things are better

Than what they've been

So let me in

How did I do, teach?

I give you an F.

But for extra credit,

I'll let you buy me dinner.

So let me in

- No, no, you don't have to do that.

- Nick, you've got to see this.

Red Bull's on the line.

They're cancelling our sponsorship.

Here's why. This just got posted.

Links are everywhere. YouTube, Facebook,

Yelp, foursquare.

- Let go of her. You're hurting her.

- What?

Sh*t didn't happen like that.

There were no gunshots.

"Static, Brooklyn. Avoid at all costs. "

He's trying to shut us down.

If you want the digs

you have to pay premium. Premium.

No, no, no. Screw you, Lawrence.

Damn Brits again.

They don't take no for an answer.

DJ samples. And you still need

to approve these.

Thanks.

They're not going to renew her visa again.

You know that, right.

She may never feel the same way about you.

Then again she might...

if she just gives it a chance.

Why her? I mean, you can

have anyone you want.

She's not anyone. Man, she fights.

She doesn't quit.

Look, I can have the

paperwork done by Monday.

I have an attorney

on standby.

Is she going to work here or not?

So what? Stealing my ideas wasn't enough?

- Step back.

- Don't try.

Now you're trying to ruin me?

I take it you're not here for a drink.

Don't play stupid with me, man.

It's all over the Internet.

- You got some nerve.

- Man, shut up!

- You like the club?

- Look, Kaz built everything you have.

He found your promotions, your sponsors

and took your hole-in-the-wall club

to the next level.

And where do you get off sitting

in my VIP with a boner for his sister?

So what does it feel like pimping

her out to this fool anyway?

You didn't keep your promises, huh!

- All I wanted was to be treated fairly.

- You were a damn street artist.

Get out now or I'm calling the cops!

Go on. Pizza will get here faster.

We were partners

and you kept everything for yourself.

You were hired help.

Unless you're here for that drink,

I have a business to run.

Yeah. Well, so do I. And that's the

last time I plan on saying it.

Hey, and tell that runt brother of yours to

stay the hell away

I still can't get those drums of yours

out of my head. They were great.

They're from Asia. It's called Taiko.

What's that lettering on the front of

your drums? What does that mean?

Cobu. It's the name of our crew.

Cobu?

It means, dance like drumming,

drum like dancing.

Drum like dancing. I like that.

One producer's interested in us

but she has to see us play live.

And if she backs us I'll be able to stay.

- Stay?

- In America.

- Otherwise you have to leave?

- In 3 weeks.

That's crazy.

Wait! If this lady signs you then she can

get you a work visa, right?

Yeah, but it costs money to book a space.

And... I'm broke.

What are you gonna do?

Change the subject.

That's what you're going to do?

Uh huh. Okay. All right. All right.

I won't ask anymore.

So what's next for you?

What do you mean?

Are you gonna perform in Static?

Nick and I, we have issues.

I know he wants the best for me,

but you know, the whole older brother thing?

Oh yeah. It gets old.

I know. There's so much

I can't tell my brother.

Well, you know sometimes I've learned it's

better not to say anything. Easier, too.

What? Is there something you want to say?

You know, dancing, I like it, but it's

been more about making money for me.

I don't get it.

Well, when I move my feet,

people are all watching what I'm doing

instead of paying attention to

what's going on around them.

I was just a distraction.

I was working with a

bunch of different guys,

you know, pickpockets,

credit card thieves, you name it.

Just about anything you can

take from tourists, we did.

I was young, but I knew better.

This one guy was working a pretty big scam

and one day I got caught.

And I had to serve 2 years in jail.

Would you do it again?

No. No, I've moved on from all that.

Do you mean that?

Yeah. Yeah, I mean that.

I love the way you talk.

- Shut up.

- No, I do.

The way your words sound. It's cute.

I'm trying. Anyways, this is it.

How do you say it in Japanese, good night?

- Oyasuminasai. Oyasim... what?

- And in Korean jo-eun-koom-ku-wo.

Can you speak both?

I'm Korean blood, born in Japan.

Our histories are long and complicated.

Maybe it's why I love it here.

All right, oyasu-

What is it?

Your grades are improving.

Night. Night.

- You can teach me that one tomorrow.

- Maybe.

- Hey, boss.

- What's up, Jim?

Get everything you can for me

on a real pain in the ass, Donny Bray.

He's a dancer from New Orleans.

Call me back.

Yes, sir.

Kaz here.

Your sisters been hanging out

with Nick's brother

and I expect you to do something about it.

Kaz, these are Michael's guest from Britain.

This is Lawrence.

Dublin, lassie, not Britain.

And I've been waiting an hour.

The sod's ducking me.

Sorry, Michael's been delayed.

He'll be crapping his pants

if I get my hands around his neck.

Why don't you guys enjoy

yourselves tonight, okay?

Natsumi, buy these

men a drink.

I'll take your drink.

But I'm not enjoying sh*t!

Everybody check this out.

I want to give a toast to my man Kaz,

hard work, blood, sweat and tears.

Static is going to be a huge success.
