Move your fat little legs.

Screw this I'm goin' around.

Idiot!

Hey baby.

Mommy's almost there.

- Mom tryouts are

starting in 30 seconds.

from the front door.

- You kidding me?

You could kill someone.

the cleaning bill.

- you know what Max

don't even bother

it is so not worth it.

- Knock it off over there.

- Please, please

quiet, people quiet.

These are the final auditions

for the mid west private

school dance off in two

weeks in Chicago, woohoo!

Alright so, we're gonna

give every dancer their turn

but I wanna remind you that

only two of you will make it

and of those two you're

gonna have to compete against

each other for the

big scholarship,

also for the chance to be in

delarose's new music video

that's right all expenses

paid trip to L.A.

So let's get started.

Alright let's get Sara.

And Melanie.

Good job, okay Billy you

can bring down the music.

Well, clearly The

winners are Melanie hoyson

And Sara Grayson.

- Yes.

- Boo.

- Big surprise.

- Oh my god.

- Boo.

- Big surprise.

- Stuff it you sore losers.

- It's obvious who your

favorites are Gaby.

- Ah, excuse me, this studio

is all about teamwork okay?

We just have to put our

best talent out there.

- Well maybe if you featured

my daughter you'd see

how talented she is.

What am I paying you for?

- Yeah why am I paying

you these big bucks?

What happened to Jackson's solo?

- Well maybe because you

need to pay me bigger bucks

because he needs a lot of work.

- Well we can't all buy our

way through life can we?

Jackson is clearly the best

male dancer in the class.

- He's the only male

dancer in the class.

- That's besides the point.

- Maybe if Jackson showed up

to rehearsal they would've had

that pas de deux locked.

- I told you about

his ibs problem.

- Well that's actually

not what you told me,

you said it was because

susie dances like she has

two left feet and one

of them is a club.

- Jeanette.

- Don't you talk about

my daughter that way.

- Well don't talk

about Jackson that way.

- Okay ladies maybe not--

- you know what I'm

done with this okay?

I'm done with this,

I'm pulling him out.

Jackson get your bag, let's go.

We're gonna take our

business elsewhere,

you will never see

this face again.

- Well that was awkward.

- Jeanette can you please

move your big black tank?

- Okay

kids, parties over.

Well done good job everybody.

- Mom, mom, um have you

maybe, I don't know,

thought of getting a new car?

- Really Mel?

That's pretty materialistic.

You know perfectly well we

cannot afford a new car.

- I'm just worried about

you driving this old thing,

I mean you could break down

after work or something,

and it's not reliable.

But you know what you

are the most reliable mom

in the entire universe.

- Oh, you know what my car

is just fine my darling girl.

And do you know what,

plus your mom is tough.

And triple a's only

a phone call away.

Just stay focused

on your studies,

school first, dance second.

- Dance first, school second.

- Uhuh, you know the rules,

you gotta keep your grades up.

You know I know that

this competition

seems like everything

but I don't want this audition

to over shadow your studies.

- Mom you know I'm gonna nail

it, I mean I'm the daughter

of the legendary

prima ballerina,

Elisabeth Rogers hoyson

of the San Diego ballet.

- Yeah the prima ballerina

who never got her shot.

I'm just lucky i

met your father.

- Do you ever regret

you got married so soon?

- Never because he gave me you.

- Alba, what did

i say about bread?

- Well come on Janet

she's barely 14

let her eat what she wants.

- Dad it's okay, I don't

even like bread anyway.

I mean it's boring

unless it's like pizza.

But mom's right i

should be at my best

if I wanna win this competition.

- What another one hun?

I thought you just did one?

- No that was just the

qualifying round to see

who from our school's going.

And me and Mel get to go.

And dad the winner gets

to be in a music video.

- In los Angela no less.

Sara's gonna win it.

I mean Gaby has a soft spot

for that little Melanie girl

but out little one dances

circles around her.

- Mom she's my friend.

- There's nothing wrong with

a little healthy competition

between friends,

it was down to me

and my best friend

for the finales of--

- miss Indiana pageant, I know.

And you never

spoke to her again.

- Yes well because she cheated.

Cozying up to the

judges in a hotel bar

and then suddenly she

wins the talent section

playing the

accordion, yeah right.

- Yeah, maybe a

little inappropriate.

- Mom, how come we

never get pizza anymore?

- Because pizza's

not a real food.

When you're out with you're

daddy you can eat what ever you

want but when you're in my

kitchen it will be healthy.

- You mean alba's kitchen.

Mom when was the last

time you cooked for us?

- I seem to remember

somebody making

your breakfast this morning.

- You call opening a

container of yogurt

and putting strawberries

in a bowl cooking?

- Jason.

- Fine, sorry.

- Well, I guess

somebody doesn't want

that new game console

for their birthday.

- You're kidding right?

- Try me.

- Look Jeanette.

We agreed that when the kids

got older I was gonna cut down

some of my hours at the

firm, well they're older now.

Right and we gotta cut down

on some of these

house hold expenses.

Well do we really need

a full time cook,

nanny, and house keeper?

- Dean I don't care what you

do but when you made partner

we agreed that my cooking

and cleaning were over.

- Okay do you think maybe

you could devote some of your

precious time to, I don't

know, taking care of our kids?

Maybe pick Jason

up after school?

Right now we're getting

crushed paying for Sara's dance

classes and we're getting

killed paying for her tutoring.

Why?

'Cause she's taking

so many dance classes.

Quite frankly

between you and me.

I don't think she's into

it as much as you seem to

think she is.

I think she'd like

to do something else.

- How in the world

would you know?

You're not the one who drives

her to and from every single

day, she loves it.

And Gaby says she has

what it takes to become a

professional someday.

- Yeah, Gabby.

Gaby doesn't have

a vested interest,

I mean she doesn't want

us to keep spending money

on her amateur dance classes.

Look I, I love my kid to bits

but is she gonna win a state

championship, really Jeanette?

I mean that Melanie kid

is already better then her

and they're in

the same class so.

- Wow.

How dare you?

That's really supportive

of your daughter Dean.

And you know what?
