Step Up 2 The Streets

I remember the first time

I saw someone move

like they were from another planet.

I couldn't keep my eyes away.

When I was little my mom

took me to watch a jam session

in the neighborhood.

It started out small, but word spread.

Soon, some of the best dancers

around were showing up

to compete in something

they eventually called, "The Streets."

It became the hub, and

I got a front row seat to history.

I wanted to glide and spin

and fly like they did.

But it didn't come easy.

My mom would tell me,

"Don't give up, just be you,

'cause life's too short

to be anybody else."

She was right.

When I was 16 my mom got sick.

Within a couple of months,

she was gone.

And everything changed...

...including The Streets.

Shh. Shh.

Suspects jammed it.

- They went up the stairs.

- Sir, are you OK?

Yo, the Four-one-oh

killed it again, man.

That was sick, son.

Thank you very much.

I'm a genius.

If you do say so yourself.

Girl, get out of here.

Get that mask off.

Yo, we gonna get some

serious YouTube play, son.

Come on, let's go.

We gotta get to the spot

before everybody gets there.

Oh, man, we struck gold

with this. Look at that, D.

This is off the chain.

Boards are gonna go crazy

over this one.

- Yo, let's upload this stat. Not it.

- Not it.

Aye. Why it gotta be me?

- 'Cause you're the youngest.

- And, obviously, the slowest.

Girl, stop slinging

that Spanish at me, Telemundo.

- Aqu-qu-qu-qu-qu-qu-qu.

- Aqu-qu-hell!

- Gotcha.

- Oh, Jesus, Tuck!

Oh, man, wish you could see

the look on your faces.

- Can the jokes, son.

- So what did you guys think?

On the real?

- We killed that!

- Oh!

Oh, yes!

Lucky, lucky!

Streets ain't gonna be ready

for us this year.

- Finally.

- Let me see that. Let me see that.

- Give us my camera back. Give me here.

- Go, go, go, go.

So what's up?

We going out tonight?

I don't know. It's just...

It's been a crazy time,

at home with Sarah and all.

- Yeah, I heard that before.

- Yo, Tuck!

Come on, man, we bouncing.

- We gotta go. You're lagging.

- All right.

- I'll see you at rehearsal.

- OK.

This video, posted

on the Internet just hours ago

was taken earlier today.

Depicts the most recent in

a wave of public disturbances

plaguing the streets of Baltimore.

The notoriously elusive Four-one-oh

has claimed responsibility

for this morning's attack

that both defaced public property

and shut down

the Charles Center Station

over security concerns.

Police have been tracking

this troubling trend,

and sources

close to the investigation...

- Not so fast, Andie. Get in here.

- Andie!

We've got to talk.

I can't believe you.

- Dinner was an hour ago.

- Sorry, Sarah, bus was late.

I'm here, so just chill out.

Baby, you go on upstairs

and go to bed.

OK.

I know where you been.

It's all over the news.

So don't stand here

and lie to my face.

You realize you could

have been arrested?

It wasn't a big deal.

You have no idea.

You've got to take

responsibility for your life.

You can't follow

the Four-one-oh forever.

Those people are criminals.

I'm putting my foot down.

This has got to stop. Now.

No! No, the Four-one-oh

is the only family I have left.

Who are you to tell me

how to live my life?

Your mother was my best friend!

I told her that

I would be your guardian.

I promised her that

I would take care of you

so you wouldn't have

to leave your life here.

But you won't let me.

Instead, you skip school.

You're out all night.

God only knows what you're doing.

I can't do this.

Your Aunt Alice and I

have been talking.

- You can't live here anymore.

- You're sending me to Texas?

Like I haven't lost enough already?

You can't do this to me!

Your mother never would've let you

get away with half the things I have.

No, you have no idea

what my mother would have done.

Felicia, where are you?

I don't know what to do.

I'm going crazy.

I'm done with her.

Please, I need a place to crash.

I'm not staying there anymore.

Call me. I'm heading to the Dragon.

What's poppin'?

I'm the man, DJ Sand.

Tonight it's all about

the Benjamins, baby.

We taking it to The Streets for green.

You got money? No, you don't.

We gonna get it started.

Brand new music. Listen to this one.

Yo, Meazy. What's going on?

- Yo, D. What it is.

- How are ya?

- You out to do some damage tonight?

- You want to take my bag?

Yes, yes, got it, got it.

It's crazy out there.

- I know. It is.

- About to do your thing?

- Oh, I will. You know.

- Go school them fools.

Look who's all grown up now.

Ty, what are you doing?

Oh, my God.

- What's up, little one?

- Oh. I thought you were

- in New York with Nora.

- I am.

I came back to get

the rest of my stuff.

- Guess what.

- What?

- Me and Nora are going on tour.

- What?

Oh, that is unreal.

You better remember me

when you get all famous and stuff.

Are you kidding me?

I remember you when you were

running around in diapers.

You were a pain in my ass.

That's really embarrassing.

Seriously, what's going on

with you and Sarah?

- She called you.

- No, she didn't call me.

I came by to see you,

and she told me you took off.

She's flipping out.

Did she tell you

she's sending me away?

She don't know what else

to do with you.

She's trying to look out for you,

like your mom and everyone else

looked out for me.

- So, you're siding with her.

- No, I'm not.

I don't even need to explain this.

I'm out.

Whoa, whoa, come on. Chill out.

Maybe you'll realize there are

some less dramatic options.

Really, like what?

- MSA.

- OK.

- Maryland School of the Arts.

- Yeah, I know what it is.

Are you crazy? Do I look like

some princess prima ballerina?

Andie, what other options

do you have? Hmm?

Let me break it down for you.

Sarah will give you one more shot.

But MSA's no joke.

You gotta go to class, you can't

skip school, you got to study.

No chance, no way.

OK, fine, I'll battle you for it.

Right now.

You win, I never saw you here tonight.

I win, you get your ass back home

and you're at MSA

first thing in the morning.

If you're scared, say you're scared.

I wouldn't want to battle me

if I was a girl.

No smile?

What, you scared? You down?

Hold it, hold it.

Hold up, hold it.

We got royalty in the house.

Tyler Gage is in the building.

Oh, man.

You know we gotta

do something special, right?

Clear the dance floor. Back up!

Brand new music.

Oh, man,

are those trampolines?

Use 'em or lose 'em.

Here we go. Cool, y'all.

Dre, you want to get this?

I'll break my neck.

No, I got it.

Is she talking crazy?

You still dance like a little girl?

Let her know

what's good, Tyler.

Come on, I want to show you.

Oh, wow! He's killing you!

Whoo!

She punched it on you.

Whatcha gonna do?

Did she stick you?

She stuck it on you.

What you gonna do? He's not...

Oh, no!

He's coming out of his clothes!

It's over. It's over.

Come on, y'all. It's all good, Andie.

Next time, baby.

It's all right. You're good, ma.
