Staying Alive Page #2

- Just informally.|- How did you meet her?

She was passing.|I said she was an OK dancer.

You told her she's OK!

- Something to that effect.|- She's a great dancer!

- Whose is the limo?|- I think it belongs to her.

- She comes from money.|- Really?

Is she heavily involved|with someone?

What do you mean?

Has she got a lot of guys|drooling over her?

I don't want to hear|if you're hot over somebody.

I just respect her dancing.

Did you hear the way she talks?|It's so intelligent. I love it.

An accent doesn't make you intelligent.|If it did, you'd be Einstein.

Jackie, I'm not trying to make|you jealous. You're a good dancer.

- What can I say?|- Don't play these games.

- What games?|- I'll see you tomorrow.

Come on, I don't even know her!

Are you sure you don't want|something to eat?

Manero, you've got a way with words!

Very good. Excellent!

Just in case you've got to hear it|again, it's whoever's right for the show.

Michelle, Tracy...

Smitty...

Karen, yes...|Sorry.

Jackie, you worked real hard.|Yes.

- OK, that's it. Next group!|- OK, men please!

- Hi, I'm Joy.|- I'm happiness.

I bet you are.|I'm the assistant choreographer.

Any questions regarding the routine,|please ask me now.

Listen up! This time, try the whole|combination right through to the end.

If I don't see you again,|you got beautiful legs.

- So do you.|- Listen up!

If you've finished dancing,|move off stage!

You're always causing trouble.|Get out of here!

OK, now get ready.|Joy, count it down.

OK, music!

That's good.|That's enough, thank you.

We need pictures, rsums,|phone numbers.

We'll get back to you.|You were all excellent,

but I only need two.|Thank you.

Hello, Jimmy.

- It's Tony!|- Oh, whatever.

- I know what you must be thinking.|- Do you?

They'll call. Don't worry.

Whatever.

- You were very good.|- Thank you.

- I mean it.|- Really?

- Yeah.|- Sounds like you appreciated me.

Yes, you could say that.

- Could I ask you something?|- What?

If you appreciate me|and I appreciate you,

how about getting together|and we could appreciate each other?

- Appreciate?|- Yeah, like for many hours.

I have a singing lesson|I'll have to cancel.

That's all right. I got a dance class|I'd have to cancel.

And then I'd have to cancel|my manicure.

I'd have to cancel|my meeting with the mayor.

And then I'd have to cancel|my yoga class.

That's all right.|I'd have to cancel my brain operation.

Do you think that's a good idea?

Laura, are you rich or something?

I told you, it isn't important.

- Why? Is it some secret?|- It's just furniture.

Come on! You'd have to work 10 shows|to afford this.

Oh, shush.

- Look, we had a good time.|- What? Did I miss something here?

I changed the subject.|We had a good night.

We had a great night.|Great night.

I want to tell you something.

You don't know me well.

And with my past,|I don't respect many people.

- But I do respect you.|- Oh. Thank you.

And when you dance, oh, man,|I could watch you for hours. Really!

- It's like watching smoke move.|- I know.

It's like you've done something|with your life. You're significant.

I think it's time|we said goodnight.

- What's wrong?|- Nothing! It's just 3.00.

- And I've got to rehearse tomorrow.|- Are you serious?

- Yeah.|- Definitely?

- Yeah.|- Oh, no, this is a flash. You can't...

- I've never been asked to leave.|- Don't take it personally.

- I've got to! There's nobody else here!|- That's true. Well...

Definitely? This is it?|I mean, tonight, it's over, that's it?

Oh, no! Oh, Tony,|you don't think that, do you? Do you?

It's just until tomorrow.

- Hello?|- Jackie!

Tony?|Where are you?

I'm making sure the streets are safe|for women and children.

- Somebody"s got to do it.|- Are you OK?

- Great! Are you alone?|- What?

Are you alone?|Is there a vacancy next to you?

- There's a vacancy. Why?|- I was just curious.

Why are you up so late?|A professional should watch her health.

I'll see you tomorrow|if I don't drown.

That boy is strange.

Ring.

Don't touch that phone!|Get off!

Yes! Yes, this is Tony Manero.|Are you kidding?

Hold on a second...|Turn down the radio!

I got it?|You're kidding?

- That boy is crazy.|- When do I start?

What time? Where? All right!|Thank you! Thank you! I'll be there!

Way to go, Manero!

- Hello?|- Ma.

Tony!|Well, it's about time I hear from you.

Guess what?|I got a job on Broadway!

You got a job on Broadway?|Doing what?

- Dancing! Don't you remember I dance?|- No nudity, I hope!

Keep your clothes on. You hear me?

- You hear me?|- Come on, come off it.

- How are you doing?|- I'm all right, I'm fine! OK.

I'll call you later|and tell you all the details.

OK, bye-bye.

I love youse.

I got to change my residence.

I hope we never change

If you feel the same

Time will make us so much stronger

You give it all to me

I give it back to you

We give our love to one another

Waking up with my eyes open wide

Waking up, you"re still sleeping|by my side

You"ve been the heart of me

You"ve been the one

You spoke so soft and tenderly

You spoke so soft and tenderly

You pulled the soul from under me

You bring it out from under me|You bring me love, now can"t you see

You bring it out from under me|You"ll get it all for free

- Hi!|- You're doing great.

Oh, thanks. Congratulations!|I heard you're in the show!

- Things are happening.|- Yeah. Are you going to work now?

Yeah, I've got to give in my notice.

You didn't put in a word for me|with the director?

- No!|- I got this on my own?

- Yes.|- Really?

- Really!|- All right!

That singer and you|were harmonising a little too well.

- He's just a friend.|- Why is he staring at you like that?

- Come on, Tony, don't.|- No, really.

- He's staring at you.|- What is wrong with you?

I don't know.|I just don't like guys like that.

- You are crazy tonight.|- Maybe I'm feeling a little emotional.

- Meet me after work?|- Yeah, two o'clock.

- OK. I'll see you at two.|- You got a commitment.

Waking up with my eyes open wide

Waking up,|you"re still sleeping by my side

Waking up with my eyes open wide

Waking up, you"re still sleeping

Waking, waking, waking up

Hello. It's very cold.

- Laura!|- Tony!

- How are you doing?|- I'm fine.

But you look like you're freezing.

- No, no.|- We all set?

Mark, this is Tony.|Tony was just hired to be in the show.

Good.

- Would you like a drink?|- I've got to be going.

All right,|I'll see you at rehearsals then,

and get out of the cold|before you crack.

Nice meeting you.

Two, two, three, four,|five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,|five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,|five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,|five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four.

That's it. Relax!

We have a conceptual interpretation|problem, which is easy to overcome

if you forget that you're dancers|working for a couple of bucks.

You're translators of body language.|That's all dancing is: Body language.

So don't waste my time|going through the motions of emotions.
