FRAN:

I know...

Wait, wait, I know...

one and two...

Hey, we could...

Wait.

SCOTT:

Where did that come from?

FRAN:

It's a step

I've been working on at home.

SCOTT:

Show me.

FRAN:

Well...

KYLIE:

She's got no body flight.

SCOTT:

Good.

Stronger.

KYLIE:

A bit of musicality, please.

SCOTT:

Good.

Good, yeah.

Come back in, but not too far.

KYLIE:

She's terrible.

They're either

too tall...

they're too short,

they're too tubby.

Well, you know, fat.

It's as if he doesn't

want to find...

anyone who's compatible.

Now this one's Island Fantasy,

and that's 11.95.

Oh, see, that's you.

WAYNE:

He was supposed

to help me and Vanessa...

with our bogo pogo step.

He never even showed up.

With a guy like Scott

it could be anything...

sexuality, drugs, you know...

He's obviously lost it, Sweetie.

VANESSA:

He's all washed up.

SCOTT:

- No!

FRAN:

- Sorry.

SCOTT:

Take a break.

FRAN:

How are the try-outs going?

Good... really good.

Mmm.

Your mum and Les were really

great dancers, weren't they?

SCOTT:

Yeah, they were.

FRAN:

They don't talk

about it very much.

SCOTT:

No... because of Dad.

Look, Fran...

The roof.

FRAN:

What's he doing?

SCOTT:

He's always hiding away

doing something.

Can you dance without those?

It might help.

Come on, we've got work to do.

(Lying in my bed

I hear the clock tick

and think of you

Caught up in circles

Confusion is nothing new

Flashback, warm nights,

almost left behind

Suitcase of memories,

time after

Sometimes you picture me

I'm walking too far ahead

You're calling to me

I can't hear what you've said

Then you say go slow,

I fall behind

The second hand unwinds...

If you're lost, you can look

and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall,

I will catch you

I'll be waiting

Time after time

Again.)

SHIRLEY:

Yes, yes.

It was his year!

It was his year!

It was his year!

It was Scott's year, Luke...

and he's gone and

thrown it all away.

You wouldn't do that,

would you, Lukey?

LUKE:

No.

DOUG:

Les will find a partner.

SHIRLEY:

There's no time, Doug!

She'd have to be a champion.

You think someone

like Tina Sparkle...

is wandering around going...

"I wonder who

I'll dance with?"

VANESSA:

Why don't you

and Mrs. Hastings...

go in the over 35s,

Mr. Hastings?

DOUG:

I don't like competition.

SCOTT:

Dad doesn't go

into competitions.

VANESSA:

But you should

have a go, Mr. Hastings.

SHIRLEY:

Doug, will you stop that?

Stop that shuffling,

you stupid man!

I can't bear it.

I just can't bear it.

KYLIE:

Don't cry, Mum.

Scott will find a new partner.

Don't worry... he will.

(If you're lost, you can look

And you will find me

Time after time

If you fall,

I will catch you

I'll be waiting

Time after time

If you fall,

I will catch you

I will be waiting

Time after time)
