Step Up 2 The Streets Page #2

Synopsis: Following the death of her parents, teen-aged Andie West is living with her mother's best friend, Sarah. Andie, who doesn't care about school, is trying to figure out where she fits in in life. The only thing she loves is dancing with her street crew, the 410, led by Tuck. The 410 are the most notorious of the street crews in Baltimore and are wanted by the police for their acts of vandalism and public mischief. Sarah threatens to send Andie to live with relatives in Texas unless she cleans up her act, which includes ending her association with the 410 and trying harder at school. Andie's neighborhood friend, Tyler Gage, convinces Andie to audition for entry into the Maryland School of the Arts (MSA), an institution which ended up turning his life around for the better. Andie passes the audition but isn't sure she fits in there. The school's director, Blake Collins, isn't sure she fits in there either. Blake is a brilliant dancer but looks for conformity to his way.

Oh. Hey.

Don't sweat it. Everybody's

hatin' on you 'cause you're dope.

Are you running off again?

- No.

- No?

- I'm just trying to look out for you.

- Yeah, whatever.

Yeah, whatever.

Don't give me "whatever."

Let's get you out of here.

I've got to get you home,

plus we've got to sell Sarah

on the idea.

- I thought she agreed.

- Just let me do the talking.

No. I'm sending her

to Texas, that's final.

She's already on probation at school.

This is the one shot she needs

to take all that anger she's got

and be able to put it into a structure.

She's not going to school now.

What makes you think

she's gonna go to this school?

- Piece of cake.

- No way.

- That's the thanks for saving your ass?

- She's down?

Believe it or not, she thinks

I set a good example for you.

- What?

- I don't know.

My work here is done.

I'm going home.

Now, all you have to do is get in.

I thought you said

you took care of everything.

I didn't say I'd get you in.

I said I'd get you an audition.

So, go show 'em what you got,

all right?

Go hard, make me proud. Promise?

- Promise.

- OK.

Stay out of trouble, all right?

Holy hell. I cannot believe

you're about to do this.

Well, it is this or Texas,

so... take your pick.

Don't blow it.

No pressure or anything, girl.

- Wait a minute.

- Check that out.

It can't be that bad, going here.

- She's hot.

- Missy, shut up.

- What?

- Just stop talking.

- I guess.

- Look, go in there and kill it.

We'll see you at rehearsal afterwards.

- Come on, Missy.

- Good luck, D. Later.

He was cute. You're mad

'cause he wasn't looking at you.

He wasn't looking at you

or your chapped lips.

Boring. It's a bunch of clones.

Just because they do turns

with their feet and not on their heads?

Very funny. Wake me up

when they're all done.

I think we'd all agree that talent

comes from mastering technique.

I was brought here because

I can turn amateurs into professionals.

Nailed it.

Music, please.

- Thank you.

- Do you have your paperwork?

Yep.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Thank you, Miss, uh... West.

- Mm-hmm.

- Well.

Well, she was different.

Kidding? That was the best dance

today. The girl's amazing.

She's just a street dancer.

Blake, I thought you could

turn anyone into a professional.

Hold that.

So what happened?

- You guys, I choked.

- What do you mean?

I tried to get it back

but I just freaked out.

Sarah gonna have her

in Texas before we know it.

- Hello?

- Yo? Who you talking to?

- Oh, here he comes.

- I gotta take this real quick.

Man, what y'all doing? Come on.

- How'd she mess up?

- I hope she didn't.

Yo, Rap.

- Looks like I'm staying.

- Oh!

- You are!

- Goodness, girl.

I knew you would.

How were you not gonna make it?

Yo, we need a family meeting.

Yo, we got this gig

at the Dragon coming up,

and we're not even

close to being ready.

The Four-one-oh is a unit.

We're only as strong as

our weakest link. With the way

our new members are slacking,

we have to step it up.

Which means,

rehearsal every day, 4:00 p.m.

No excuses, no being late,

and no cell phones.

Are we clear?

- Crystal.

- We're clear.

You're in my seat.

I'm kidding.

This is my seat, but I'll give you

a pass for today.

Nice. Nice. Nice shirt,

Napoleon Dynamite. Nice.

You look fantastic today,

by the way. Nice hair.

What's up?

I'm Robert Alexander, III.

You can call me Moose.

What's up. I'm Andie.

It's like this. Give me your hand.

You got to blow it up.

Blow it up, right. Blow it up.

Go by like that. Aye! Yeah?

It's mine, so... Shh.

- You're not eating?

- You call this food?

Tofu dogs are both

nutritious and delicious.

This is good.

Mmm.

# Tastes like candy canes

at Christmas #

- What?

- You've got crap on your face.

Oh. I knew we could

help each other out.

Oh, what makes you think I need help?

What makes you think I need...

Trust me. I have what you need.

I have the inside on everything.

Who's dating, who's hating.

And who's hooking up.

What's up, Dan? What's up, Gator?

- Who's that?

- See you guys later.

That's the music room.

This is the art room

where some of the greatest

Baltimore artists...

I'm dead serious.

Sorry.

Oh!

You OK?

Hey.

Thank you.

We gotta stop meeting like this,

you know.

It's Andie, right?

I'm Chase. Welcome to MSA.

I'm glad you made it in.

Well, here I am.

You're an amazing little dancer.

- What?

- You're an amazing little dancer.

Little? Really?

Well, you know, I wouldn't call

my dancing "little."

- I definitely was not trying to say...

- Andie!

Where have you been?

I've been looking for you.

- Chase.

- Hey.

- How you doing?

- Great. You guys are friends?

- Yeah, we go way back.

- Good.

We're actually late

for a little something, so...

We are?

- Yeah.

- What?

- That thing you told me?

- I didn't tell you anything.

Yes, you did. We're gonna go.

- Remember that thing?

- What?

- That thing you wanted to do?

- What are you talking about?

I can't believe

you know Chase Collins.

That's extremely vital

information to withhold.

- I don't know him.

- He's Mr. Popular.

Like a legacy. His parents,

like, founded this school.

And his brother is legendary.

- Dr. Collins is his brother?

- Yeah.

He used to go here, then moved to

London to dance with the Royal Ballet.

Oh, my God. That's him?

Yeah. It's hard to believe,

right, with all those feathers.

So why'd he come back?

Good question.

Sources say he has some sweet deal

to make MSA the next Juilliard.

Which he's been trying to do.

Maybe he's just burned out.

One thing's for sure.

There's a lot of changes

going down that nobody likes.

Here.

Anyway, the Collins

are like flippin' MSA royalty.

Chase, he's a ladies' man.

- He's a player?

- Like an all-star.

He's only recently taken the jersey

out of retirement. So be warned.

Oh, and that's Cyborg Sophie.

She's an MSA machine

and Collins' crowning achievement.

She's a triple threat.

She acts, sings and dances.

She won every competition out there.

But she just lost

the biggest battle of them all,

the one for Chase's heart.

It's like I've landed

in an episode of The Hills.

He broke up with her a few weeks ago,

but they'll end up together.

Just in time

for the season finale, huh?

See? I knew you'd come around.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Director Collins.

I hope you've all stretched

this morning,

'cause we have

a lot of work to do today.

I'm sure that everyone

has heard of our plans

to move MSA into a new

state-of-the-art facility.

Well, to encourage the donors,

we're throwing a fundraiser,

where you will perform

to demonstrate what

a good investment you are.

It should be a wonderful event.

You are all required to participate

in one way or another.

So, let's begin with some improv,

shall we?

Jimmy, you're up.

You're late. Not being on time

won't fly in the real world.

Already with that stuff, Blake?

- That's Director Collins.

- Yes, Your Majesty.

Chase, show us what you got.
