Step Up 2 The Streets Page #6

No more excuses, Andie.

I'm sick and tired of this.

You're going to your aunt's

in Texas, and that's final.

It was my idea.

- Your idea for what?

- To compete in The Streets.

If you're gonna throw someone out

it should have been me.

Don't be ridiculous.

I'm not throwing you out.

How would that make me look?

I'm not gonna let her

take the fall for this.

I should never have let her in.

It didn't benefit us in any way.

Not everything we do has to benefit us.

Some people, Andie in particular,

do what they love just because.

Isn't that why we started dancing

in the first place?

Look, I have a lot to do

for the fundraiser.

And so do you.

My decision about Andie is final.

We're done here.

Oh, Peggy Beckham.

See, this is our new building.

Made of glass

with state-of-the-art studios.

Hey. Is Andie here?

Andie?

It's for you.

- What are you guys doing here?

- Andie, we're going.

Eighth and Main, The Streets.

We need you.

No, but what about the fundraiser?

- You could all be expelled.

- Forget the fundraiser.

- We don't want the school to move.

- It's time we took a stand.

- Like you did.

- If MSA doesn't want you...

- Then we don't want you.

- What are you talking about?

We do want Andie.

We want Andie in, yes, right?

- Yes.

- Look, you brought us together

and took the fall for us

when we should have all done more.

Andie, that's why we're here.

We've all made a lot of mistakes,

but now's our time.

We can go all the way. If we don't try,

it was all for nothing.

Come on, are you in?

- I can't.

- Why?

I promised Sarah

I'd finish packing tonight.

Andie?

Can we talk a minute?

Yeah. I'll be right back.

I made a promise to your mom

to take care of you.

I want to keep it.

I know.

I understand that

and I am done fighting.

You know, you remind me

so much of your mother.

You have her passion.

She was a really good friend

to me, Andie.

Just like you are to them.

I just feel like I finally found

this place where I belong.

I found people who believe in me.

I believe in you, too.

I've seen a change in you.

You should go tonight.

Really?

She'd want you to.

Let's do this.

Baltimore, y'all ready?

We gonna get down to it,

see who has the hottest skills.

The dopest squad.

You ready to get it started?

It's The Streets, baby.

- Take a left.

- And slow down.

Faster, faster! I love America!

Whoo!

It's your man, DJ Sand,

and it's the battle of the year.

We're getting ready to get

really banoodles out here.

Can y'all handle that?

Come on, let's get wild, man.

Yo, man, you see this?

- Are you coming?

- Good luck. Good luck.

What part of "You don't belong here"

do you not understand?

Why don't you chill?

We're just trying to perform here

like everyone else.

Yo, homey, this is how it is.

You're not invited.

This is a closed event.

For locals only.

Besides, that jazz funk

that y'all pulled at the Dragon

ain't gonna cut it here.

Neither will those moves

you've been doing the past five years.

And by the way,

I really liked your place,

but I think that fish

made it smell better.

Watch your face.

I'll knock you out, you hear?

- Don't disrespect me in my place.

- You boys fighting in my house now?

You're think you're funny?

You want to tell me

what the hell is going on?

They're at The Streets.

The Streets?

- I have to stop this.

- Wait.

You always tell us that dance

is about having something to say.

I never meant for anyone...

I think that a lot of people

are finally speaking up.

Can't allow my students

to participate in something illegal.

Well, there's a reason

they're there and not here.

You should take a look.

I think you'd be surprised.

- And you are?

- Robert Alexander, III.

But you can call me Moose.

I dance with their crew.

You dance?

Damn right, I dance.

I can take you to where they are.

OK, Goose, let's go.

- No, it's Moose.

- Whatever.

Wait. I'm coming with you.

It's the moment

you've all been waiting for.

At this time, let me introduce

the five time reigning champ.

Give it up, make some noise,

for the Four-one-oh!

Get it, Four-one-oh, let's go!

Let's go!

Check it out, baby!

That's what I'm talkin' about!

Check it out, baby!

That's what I'm talkin' about!

Give it up to the Four-one-oh!

All right, you've seen 'em all.

Tell me who the hottest crew

in Baltimore is.

That's what you think? I don't know,

the Four-one-oh killed it.

- All right, y'all, let's hit it.

- Yo, baby.

No, B, we're from the hood.

Yo, this is a neighborhood battle.

You're out of luck.

Now, go home. Leave.

That's mad wack, B.

We're gonna get to it,

figure it out after this.

Andie!

Hey, yo, it's not done yet.

We've got one more for you.

- My crew's back there. We want a shot.

- We're done. Doesn't matter.

Not from around here,

but we want a shot.

Hey!

- Yo!

- Boo!

Look.

We're all here because...

All right, all right.

Yo. Some of you guys think...

Some of you guys think

that we don't belong here.

- What is she doing?

- It doesn't matter where we're from.

You are not the valedictorian.

All right, all right.

Let me just say something.

The Streets are supposed to be about

different people coming together.

We call this a battle,

but what are we fighting for?

We're all here because we have

this thing we do. We dance.

Right?

Being a part of The Street

used to mean more than turf or power.

It was about bringing

something new to the floor.

And it shouldn't matter what we wear,

what school

or what neighborhood we're from.

Because the best part of The Streets

is, it's not about what you've got.

It's what you make of what you've got.

So, if the Four-one-oh is too scared

to defend their title against us,

then, hell, we'll be outside doing

our thing where The Streets started.

We'll accept that.

I'm sure we've got something

that will work.

- La-da!

- Ooh!

Hit it, hit it, hit it.

Go, go, go!

Yeah, we did it, baby.

Whoo-hoo!

All right! Whoo!

Well. That was different.

Yes, sorry about

the whole toe-pointing thing.

Yeah. I guess that

didn't stick too well.

I'll keep working on that.

Yeah, you will, in my class.

At school on Monday.

Oh, my God!

Whoa. Hey, Moose!

Yeah, you.

I think you might be

in the wrong department.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have a little explaining to do

at a fundraiser.

Oh, yeah.

So, see, I told you

we could help each other out.

Yeah, yeah. Whatever.

Whatever.

Blow it up.

- Moose, hey.

- Hey, Soph.

- How you doing?

- I'm good.

- Did you see us?

- That was great.

Sliding and flipping.

My hat trick was amazing.

I was just doing it,

like it was amazing.

That's what I thought.

Andie! Andie!

Hey!

Happy birthday.

Open your present.

Blow out your candles.

You did so good.

I'm so proud of you.

- Andie, I love you.

- I love you.

I gotta go.

I gotta pump. I gotta pump.

I thought you said we couldn't

start our own crew.

I thought you said

my dancing was little.
