SCOTT:
What are you doing here?
FRAN:
Oh, I-I just...
SCOTT:
How long have you been here?
FRAN:
Two years.
I was just looking for someone.
SCOTT:
Everyone's gone home.
FRAN:
Yeah, I know.
It's just I've got this idea...
Like... I mean... it's... um...
It's...
I want to try to...
I want to dance with you.
SCOTT:
What?
FRAN:
I want to dance with you.
I want to dance with you
your way at the Pan Pacifics.
SCOTT:
The Pan Pacifics?
You want to dance my way
at the Pan Pacifics?
FRAN:
Yeah.
SCOTT:
You can't dance my way.
You don't win.
FRAN:
It's just because
you've been overdoing it.
If you kept it simpler
and danced from the heart...
SCOTT:
What?
FRAN:
And had the right partner...
SCOTT:
Oh, I see. That's you, is it?
FRAN:
When you dance your steps,
I understand how you feel...
because I make up
my own steps, too.
SCOTT:
You make up your own steps?
FRAN:
Yeah, and now we both
haven't got partners.
SCOTT:
Look, what are you
carrying on about?
You've never had a partner.
You've been dancing with a girl
for two years, haven't you?
FRAN:
- Yeah, but...
SCOTT:
- Yeah.
And now you've come up to me...
who's been dancing
since I was six years old...
and you say you want
to dance non-Federation...
and convince the judges
at the Pan Pacific Grand Prix...
FRAN:
Yeah.
SCOTT:
I don't think so.
FRAN:
Just give me a try-out.
SCOTT:
- Look, go home.
FRAN:
- Just one hour.
SCOTT:
This is very embarrassing.
FRAN:
I just need a chance.
SCOTT:
You're going to wake up
tomorrow...
and feel like
FRAN:
Do you want to dance
your own steps or not?
SCOTT:
It's none of your business.
FRAN:
Well, do you?
SCOTT:
Look, a beginner has no right
to approach an open amateur.
FRAN:
Yeah, well, an open amateur
has no right...
to dance non-Federation steps,
but you did, didn't you?
SCOTT:
- That's different.
FRAN:
- How is it different?
You're just like
the rest of them.
You think you're different,
but you're not...
because you're just
really scared.
You're really scared
to give someone new a go...
because they might just
be better than you are.
You're just pathetic,
and you're gutless.
You're a gutless wonder!
Vivir con miedo
es como vivir a medias.
SCOTT:
What's your name again?
FRAN:
Fran.
SCOTT:
Yeah? Fran what?
FRAN:
Just Fran.
SCOTT:
All right, then, just Fran,
don't push me.
Rumba.
Oh, great.
You can't even do a basic.
FRAN:
- You said one hour.
SCOTT:
- One, two, three, four.
One, two. One hold two.
One hold two, three, four.
One, two, three.
Two, three, four.
One, two, three...
We're telling a story.
The rumba's the dance of love.
Look at me like you're in love.
That's it. Good.
Turn, two, three, four.
And one, two, three, four.
Good, that's it.
We'll do one basic
into a spin and a lunge, OK?
And one, two...
and one, turn and...
One, turn, and lunge.
OK.
Lunge.
Drag, pull, drag.
One, turn, there.
