Step Up Page #5
Got it. You almost got it.
Dancing? You can't dance.
Who can't dance?
You never seen me dance.
Then do somethin'.
Do somethin'?
What you want me to do? (mutters)
What you want me to do?
Huh? Huh?
(laughs)
- OK, it was fine. It was OK.
- OK.
- What was that?
- Throw it.
- Where'd you learn that?
- Nothing.
I'm not throwing anything
until you show me what that was.
Yeah, all right.
I get you with the little...
All right.
You can do that,
you can do this.
OK.
Hah, hah. What?
- I love it. All right. So after that...
- Yeah?
Hit, hit...
OK, let's try it all.
- You got the whole thing?
- Yeah.
OK, all right. On "go."
One, two, three, go, all right?
One, two, three, go.
(both) What?
Hit, hit...
Hey.
Can you do "running man"?
You don't know about that.
- Malcolm, can you do the "running man"?
- Yeah!
Oh, yeah. What's up?
- Here we go. He's doing it one-handed.
- Oh, oh.
- Whee.
- (laughs)
Whoo! (laughs)
(musical interlude)
This is you?
Don't be mean.
I was a chubby kid.
(snickers)
What are you saying? If I was
like that now, you wouldn't like me?
No, I could deal
with the chubbiness.
But if you were missing those front teeth,
I couldn't work with that.
Thank you very much.
I was thinking we should talk to
Director Gordon about using the showcase
as your audition to get into the school.
I don't know.
Do you think she'd go for that?
It's about going after what you want, right?
(throat clearing)
Mom. Um, hey.
L-I didn't know you were home already.
This is Tyler,
my rehearsal partner.
Nice to meet you, Ms Clark.
You have a beautiful home here.
Thank you.
We certainly like it.
I should probably get going, anyway.
Thanks for showing me those pictures.
Yeah.
It was nice to meet you.
(Tyler) A'ight, here we go.
Ready? One, two, three, go.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- What's up?
- Um...
you didn't tell anybody, did you?
Nah. Uh-uh.
You know, 'cause it's just
musicians, whatever.
You ain't got nothin' to explain to me.
What's wrong?
Why you talking to me like that?
If you wanna be with someone
who doesn't appreciate what he's got,
that's 100% your business.
I just thought you'd be smart enough
to know you deserve better.
Excuse me.
(Tyler) Ready back there? All right.
I wanna hit it hard. All right.
Smooth it out even more than that.
Just want it to look pretty. All right, go.
- Wait, hold up.
- Mac?
Tell me I'm not seeing this, Ty.
Mac.
Hold on, Mac.
Yo, wait up a second.
What you doin', man?
What is that, Riverdancin'?
You gettin' down with your Irish roots now?
- It's not like that.
- Like what?
- It's part of my community service.
- How is dancin' community service?
It's complicated.
- Explain to me. I ain't that stupid.
- Fine...
You were s'posed to meet me
I come over here and I see you
blowin' me off for this? This?
You ain't been hangin' or callin' 'cause you
leapin' around with a bunch of rich kids?
They're not all rich.
It's not like that.
All right, Mac, hold on.
There's this girl.
She asked me to rehearse with her
for this showcase thing. That's all.
So you messin' around
with our friendship for a girl?
So it's like that?
- That's a relief, Ty.
- Come on, man.
(chatter)
(Nora) That's great.
- Hey, Tyler.
- Hey.
What, are you back?
Yeah. Feelin' a lot better.
Thanks for fillin' in for me.
- Can you give us a sec?
- Sure.
Hey, guys.
- Hey. Good?
- Definitely.
I didn't think he was coming back.
He hasn't even been here.
I don't know what to do.
So he's back.
Where does that leave me?
- You don't have to say anything.
- Wait. What does that mean?
I can't believe I bought into this bullshit.
You're really gonna turn your back on me?
That's not what I'm doing, Tyler.
Andrew is a student here. He's a senior...
You're just like Brett.
You use people then you dump 'em.
Why are you making it sound like that?
It's not the same situation. You know it.
So how is it not?!
Have I just been filling in for Andrew?
That's not fair.
I'm out.
Tyler. Tyler, wait.
- Gimme a second to figure this out.
- (door opens. Slams shut)

- Hello.
Hi. Is Tyler there?
May I ask who's calling?
It's Nora.

No, he's not here.
Yeah, um,

Five, six, seven, eight.
One and two, three, four. Up.
Aah.
- Andrew, are you all right?
- I don't know.
Oh.
OK, try walking on it.
- I can't do this, Nora.
- What?
You and I both know
I can't pull this routine off.
Here, Mom.
Nora...
- Bet you can't make the shot.
- Bet you I can.
- Whatever.
- Yeah, right, whatever.
Let me do it.
You suck, man.
Hey, yo, Ty.
- Man, what's up?
- What's up?
- Where you been, man?
- You know, around.
Gimme my ball back.
Ain't you gonna be late for ballerina class?
No, man.
I'm through with that.
- So what happened with that girl?
- Nothin'.
- Nothin'? I'm supposed to believe you?
- Yeah, man, you are.
I dunno.
Man that turns his back on his boy...
Deserves a second chance.
Right?
Come on, Mac.
Party tomorrow night at Omar's, man.
Ha-ha-ha.
That's my man.
Uh-oh.
And boogie...
(laughter)
Got it, got it, got it.
- Come on, man.
- (laughter)
Mom?
Are you OK?
Do you know even when you were a baby
you danced better than you could walk?
It was all you ever wanted to do.
I remember the look on your face the day
we took you to your first dance class.
You do?
I never expected that dancing would still
bring you such joy after all these years.
Seeing you up there on the stage
so happy - it used to make me happy.
- I guess I forgot about that.
- Mom, it's OK.
I am so excited
to see you dance in your showcase.
Oh. Mom...
I don't even have a partner anymore.
Tyler's not doing it and Andrew's out.
Baby...
You can do this.
You've been doing this
Come here.
You are gonna be great.
Thanks, Mom.
- (Skinny) I'm still gonna win.
- (Mac) We'll see.
That's why I'm beating you.
Yeah, a'ight, whatever.
I'm gonna come back.
- What y'all up to tonight?
- We goin' to Omar's to watch movies.
Yeah.
I know all about your movies.
You stayin' here, you understand?
What?! Ma... I got to go last time.
Yeah, I know, and that's why
you staying here tonight.
You boys make sure
my baby don't go nowhere.
- All right, Ma.
- Yes, ma'am.
- I'll tuck you in before we leave.
- Shut up.
Let's go!
