Step Up Page #4

- Then perhaps it can wait.

You know how me and Nora

have been working together?

It's been... kinda making me think lately

that... maybe I'd like to come here.

- You want to apply to the school?

- Yeah. Kids transfer, don't they?

I was kinda hopin' maybe I could

finish out my school year here.

It's not that you don't have talent, Tyler.

But a lot of kids have talent.

It takes so much more than that.

This is a grueling program. My students

work themselves into the ground every day

just to get a fraction closer to their goals.

We're tough as hell on them in here,

because we know what they're

going to face out there.

Only kids that make it

are the ones prepared to fight.

Yeah, I understand that.

I'm not sure that you do,

not for something real.

And I've already seen you

give up once already.

- That's not gonna happen again.

- Saying the words doesn't make it so.

Then tell me what I gotta do.

I can't.

You have to show me.

Show me that you want it,

really want it.

You do that,

then we can talk.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have a 3:
00.

( "Made")

- Unh...

- (cheering)

Whoo-oo-oo

Whoo-oo-oo

I got this girl

And she's the only thing

that can drive me insane...

(croWd cheers)

Come on, man.

Will you snap out of it?

All right, look, way I look at it,

Brett did you a favor.

Your beats are hotter

than what he can do with 'em.

It's a crime to admit

that she ain't ten times legit

My friend,

she's hotter than shh...

Her sun is shinin' on me

Anybody that got somethin' so fine

Now's the time to acknowledge

Ohh, ooh...

- Come on, man.

- I gotta sit up here and watch this Colin?

Did we come here for him?

I thought we came here for Lucy.

Is that who you been looking at?

He is kinda hot, in that weird way...

Shut up, man. Shut up.

I got it made in the sun, baby

Made in the sun, sugar

Made in the sun, honey

Oh, baby

Thank you. We're gonna take a break.

Be back in five.

Sounds great, fellas.

(cheering)

I gotta get up outta here, man.

Hey, guys.

Have you met my boyfriend?

Hey, man. I'm Colin.

Tyler. Nice to meet you, man.

- This is Miles.

- What's up, man?

Miles. This is the guy

you told me about.

She said you played.

Got a set up if you wanna join us.

- Oh, no. I left my G4 at home, man.

- (coughs) It's in his bag.

Yeah?

Come on, man,

we're set up. Ready, Luce?

Dude think he slick trying to use

that reverse-psychology sh*t.

- He seems kinda cool.

- That's part of his whole game.

Man, just go play.

- How are you?

- OK.

( dance)

- Hey.

- Hey.

I didn't think you'd come...

- That's exactly why I wanted to come.

- Yeah?

- What are you doing here?

- Miles needed a wingman.

Oh.

What's he doing up there?

Trying to be the bigger man.

OK.

- You look beautiful.

- Thank you.

Is everybody ready?

Let's do this.

( "'Til the DaWn")

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah...

Yeah...

I didn't know she could sing.

In her words, she majors in dance

because she can already sing.

On the weekend, on the weekend

On the weekend, on the weekend

Kill it, Miles.

Back again, hit the lights,

let the party begin...

- So, are you gonna ask me to dance?

- Didn't know you can dance without tights.

And I think

I'm ready to go, hot...

You don't know

what you got yourself into.

Everyone in line

and they're payin' a lot

Drop a Ben,

them drinks are rich

But the music is free

You want it, you love it

You need it,

you know you gotta have it

The music is playin'...

What is that?

This is for the girls comin' from NYC

I'm feelin' you like you's family

And everybody down

from L.A. To D.C.

Whoo!

Come on.

Turn the volume up 3db

Get on the dance floor

where the music is free

Slip on until the dawn's gone with me

Slip on until the dawn's gone with me

While the music is free

- Slip on until the dawn's gone with me

- On the weekend...

Now all my ladies,

over to the front.

Show 'em what you got.

Ooh, hoo-ooh

Uh-huh, uh-huh, ooh

Uh-huh, uh-huh, ooh

Uh-huh, uh-huh, oo-ooh

Fellas...

move like that.

(cheering)

Uh...

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Uh-huh, uh-huh

- I like that

- Uh-huh, uh-huh

- Can all my ladies say

- Uh-huh, uh-huh

- All the fellas say

- Uh-huh, uh-huh

- Everybody say

- Uh-huh, uh-huh

- Come dance with me

- Uh-huh, uh-huh

And the story goes just like this

We pack 'em in till the morning,

there'll be no lettin' off

Dollars droppin' onto the tabletop

You can shake your thing

and there ain't no cost

- This is for the girls comin' from NYC

- I'm feelin' you like you's family

- And everybody down from L.A. To D.C.

- Rockin' to the same old-school beat

This is for the kids

in the clubs and the street

Turn the volume up 3db

Get on the dance floor

where the music is free

Slip on until the dawn's

gone with me

- This is for the girls comin' from NYC

- I'm feelin' you like you's family

- And everybody down from L.A. To D.C.

- Rockin' to the same old-school beat

This is for the kids

in the clubs and the street

Turn the volume up 3db

Get on the dance floor

where the music is free

Slip on until the dawn's gone with me

Slip on until the dawn's gone with me

While the music is free

Slip on until the dawn's gone with me

On the weekend,

on the weekend, yeah

(cheering)

Come here, baby.

Oh!

I swear, I have never seen

that many people here before.

Get used to it.

That was great.

Come on, you guys.

Let's take a walk by the water.

- Come on, let's walk.

- Let them go. Let them go.

- You're gonna make me say it, aren't you?

- Make you say what?

- I know I been hatin' on Colin.

- Mm, yeah.

But...

He was good.

He was real good.

For someone who's so sophisticated.

Why you always gotta play?

You were, um... (clears throat)

Pretty good yourself.

Miles, a little bit.

Just... Yeah, just a little.

I try to do what I do.

Um...

Um...

Don't worry about it.

- Lucy...

- I gotta go.

I'm gonna go check our sound levels.

That place is crazy.

Is it always like that?

Yes.

But tonight, Miles and Lucy

were on a whole other level.

You weren't so bad yourself.

Y'all know exactly what you want.

Well, what about you?

What do you want?

I don't know. Nothin'.

Come on.

What about when you were a kid?

All kids want something.

I don't know.

For me, it's just...

better not to want anything.

That way, if it goes away

or... doesn't happen,

you know,

it just doesn't matter.

But you want something now, right?

Like... maybe to go to MSA?

There's a lot of things

that I want now

that I didn't used to.

I even catch myself every once in a while

actually thinking I can have 'em.

Please don't kick me out.

I brought you orange juice.

Bill and Lena went out.

You're baby-sitting.

Thank you.

- Why are you always so tired lately?

- 'Cause I been working a lot.

- Doin' what?

- Why do you ask so many questions?

Never mind. Don't answer that.

Just go get Malcolm's shoes on.

All right.

- Oh, throw it.

- (chuckles)
