Step Sisters Page #4

No, I'm just saying,

your life is kind of all white everything.

- Being around black culture...

- I'm sorry.

Isn't your boyfriend white?

Much to his dismay, yes.

[LAUGHS MOCKINGLY]

So, I can't be around white people,

but you can be all up

under Iggy Bro-zalea?

Your hypocrisy bores me.

Hey! I feel you. I'm a suburban girl, too.

I'm just saying, you need that.

You need to worry about

your own little life,

and let me live mine.

[WHISPERS]

You are so thoughtful, Jamilah.

I've got you, girl, anytime.

You are so smart and brilliant.

It's so nice to be around people who care.

Anytime, girl. High five.

Beth, you were supposed

to have our appeal letter drafted.

Get your sh*t together.

Libby, where are we at with our threat

to freeze alumni donations?

Um...

[AMBER SNORES]

Amber, you just sat down.

[SHOUTS] You cannot possibly be asleep!

Sorry! It's $20.

What is going on here?

I am the only one trying to fix this.

You are all sitting on your tits!

If any more SBB business

falls through the cracks,

I am pulling the plug

on this entire step show.

[JAMILAH] Threats?

That's bold leadership.

Um, don't talk when I'm talking,

and I'll do the same.

[IN DITZY ACCENT]

It's called, like, mutual respect.

[IN DITZY ACCENT]

Is that supposed to be me?

Moving on, we are completely behind

on our community service

slash fund-raising

slash SBB bonding night.

Speaking of which, if Her Majesty

would cede me the floor, I have business.

[DANIELLE SIGHS]

Thank you. Beth and I have been doing

some shopping for props and costumes.

All in, we're looking at three grand.

How much is in

your special events account?

We don't have an account.

Every month, we make a video

for Libby's daddy, asking him for money.

He wires it,

and then we all go out for a fancy dinner.

Oh, and then we give the doggie bags

to the homeless people.

That part was my idea.

So sweet.

Very smart.

- Really fulfilling.

- Good idea.

That's your fund-raising?

- Community service and chapter bonding?

- Yeah.

Ladies, trust me. Raising money yourselves

is a lot more rewarding.

It can even be fun,

like a karaoke night or something.

Oh!

I love to sing.

And I'll organize

a real community service project.

No...

Guys, there is no better feeling

than helping people who need it.

- It will be great.

- Downer!

You are like

a Sarah McLachlan animal commercial.

By the way, can we talk

about our rehearsal space?

Stomping on concrete...

Should I send you my chiropractor bills?

Yes, and it's killing our pedis.

- And our knees.

- Uh-huh.

That's what's killing your knees?

You need to get that black widow

out of your box, missy!

- Or else, what?

- [LIBBY] I'll get it out for you!

[ALL] Ooh!

Hey!

I'll see what I can do

about the rehearsal space.

In the meantime,

can you guys go five minutes

without being d*cks to each other?

We can try.

I'm so glad I stopped by.

Well, I'd like to spread the butter,

so if anyone's got...

[DANIELLE] You better not...

[WOMEN CHATTING]

[AMBER] I can't believe it's not butter

that she bought.

["JUST WHAT I NEEDED" BY THE CARS PLAYING]

I don't mind you coming here

[WOMEN CONTINUE CHATTING]

And wasting all my time

'Cause when you're standing oh so near

I kind of lose my mind

Is this a date?

- Because it kind of feels like a date.

- Uh... no.

Dates require romance,

potential longevity,

actual physical attraction.

[WAILS]

I guess you're just what I needed

Just what I needed

[JAMILAH] Oh, God, no.

[KEVIN WAILS]

- Don't tell me you like The Cars.

- Yes.

No, the late seventies is about Chaka Khan

and Rick James,

P-Funk.

The Cars are so corny.

Ooh!

I didn't realize "corny" meant

"combining punk minimalism, classic rock

showmanship and new wave synth."

[JAMILAH] Hmm.

- I'm gonna learn so much from you.

- Can I help you guys?

Three-quarter maple wood

for a low platform

and the biggest wall mirrors you have.

- It's for step practice.

- Actually, I've got this.

[LAUGHS] We just need plywood.

Right. If you want the wood to warp

and break your girls' ankles.

[EMPLOYEE] He's right, ma'am.

A platform is safer,

more stable and hollow,

so it will echo like a real stage.

My girl and I argue like this

all the time.

- Yeah.

- [SCOFFS] Ugh! I am not his girl.

- Thanks, bro.

- [EMPLOYEE] Sorry.

I have a boyfriend, FYI.

Why isn't he here buying wood with you?

- He's not that good with his hands.

- Oh, you know...

Don't you dare.

And I didn't mean "ugh."

I guess you're not that gross.

- [KEVIN] This is definitely a date.

- No, it's not a date.

["TIGHTROPE" BY JANELLE MONE PLAYING]

Another day

Some people talk about you

Like they know all about you

When you get down, they doubt you

And when you tip it on the scene, yeah

They're talking about it

'Cause they can't tip on the scene

They just talk about it

T-t-t-talk about it

When you get elevated

They love it or they hate it

You dance up on them haters

Keep getting funky on the scene

While they're jumping round you

They're trying to take all your dreams

But you can't allow it

'Cause, baby

Whether you're high or low

Whether you're high or low

You've got to tip on the tightrope...

[LAUGHTER]

Tip on the tightrope...

[LIBBY SQUEALS EXCITEDLY]

Whether you're high or low

Baby, whether you're high or low

You've got to tip on the tightrope

Now let me see you do the tightrope

Tip, tip on it

And I'm still tipping on it

See, I'm not walking on it

Or trying to run around it

This ain't no acrobatics

You either follow or you lead, yeah

I'm talking about you

Keep on blaming the machine, yeah

I'm talking about it

T-t-t-talking about it

I can't complain about it

I've got to keep my balance

And just keep dancing on it

We're getting funky on the scene

Yeah, you know about it

Like a star on the screen...

[ALL SCREAM EXCITEDLY]

Then, baby, whether I'm high or low...

[ALL] One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten!

[ALL CHEERING]

Tip on the tightrope

Baby, baby...

B*tch! Are you kidding me?

[DANIELLE] Oh, my God.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[SHOUTING]

Ladies!

[SHOUTS] Ladies!

[PANTING]

[JAMILAH SQUEALS]

[JAMILAH GASPS]

[BETH] Oh...

Apt metaphor.

What?

[JAMILAH PANTS]

I just mean, the girls are getting better,

but if they can't work together,

we're screwed.

Hey, girl.

[BETH] Oh, hi.

I'm headed to the Pilates class

that you prepaid for but keep missing.

Oh, yeah. I know.

I've been so "incognegro" lately.

[BETH LAUGHS]

- I've just been running more.

- Girl, I don't do running.

I mean, I will do side bends or sit-ups,

but I will not lose my butt.

[LAUGHTER]

[BETH CACKLES]

Oh, hey, Betsy.

Hey... Beth.

Right.

Aren't you in SBB?

Yeah. Don't hold it against me.

So, how's the theft? Oh...

I mean, cultural appropriation...

I mean, stepping, coming?

Well, I mean, it started pretty rough,

because it's hard.

- You know?

- Yeah.

But we have a pretty sick-ass coach, so...
