Can I give you a lift?

- You got a car?

- No.

How you gonna give me

a lift? Stand me on a box?

- We could share a taxi.

- Forget it. I don't share fares.

I'm a lady.

Furthermore, I'm broke.

- Who said share fares?

- No?

No. I wouldn't dream of it.

- You wouldn't?

- I thought you'd pay.

Swell.

Let's walk.

It's a nice night.

You shouldn't walk at

night. It's dangerous.

We'll be okay. We

got your baseball bat.

Quit the "we" bit.

You mean, I'll be okay.

- Which way you going?

- Which way you going?

- This way.

- Then I'm going this way.

Let me take that.

No, it's all right.

Look, beat it, will you?

- What have you got in here?

- Just a few books.

Few books? You

should start a library.

You should shut your mouth.

- Have you eaten?

- Ever since I was a kid.

- How come you're so skinny?

- Because I watch my weight.

I do that when I'm broke,

too. How about eating now?

No.

- Why not?

- I'm not hungry.

- Not hungry?

- No.

I'm starving.

That's more like it.

- Goodnight, Fizzy.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight, Fizzy.

- Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Take it easy.

Don't do that, Knuckles.

It's how I got my name.

Knock it off or

change your name.

Tallulah, how long

we got to wait?

Coming. You don't want me

looking a mess, do you?

Snap it up, will you?

Put your flaps down,

or you'll take off.

You spend more time

prettying yourself than anyone.

If I didn't look this good,

you wouldn't look at me.

I'll see you in the car.

What about my audition?

Tomorrow, Fizzy. I'm tired.

Lots of important business.

I have to go home.

I promise you, tomorrow.

Goodbye. Goodnight.

- You coming, Velma?

- Sure.

- Goodnight, Fizzy.

- Goodnight, Miss Tallulah.

Oh, my purse.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow never comes.

What kind of a fool

do they take me for?

Tomorrow.

A resting place for bums...

a trap set in the slums,

but I know the score.

I won't take no for an answer...

I was born to be a dancer...

tomorrow...

tomorrow, as they say...

another working day...

and another chore.

Tomorrow...

an awful...

place to be.

I gave up yesterday,

but they still want more.

They'll compare me...

to Fred Astaire...

when I'm done.

Yeah.

Anyone who feels the rhythm

moving through him...

knows it's gonna do him good

to let the music burst out...

when you feel it, show it,

let the people know it...

let your laughter loose till your scream

becomes a a love shout...

tomorrow...

tomorrow's far away...

tomorrow, as they say...

is reserved for dreams.

Tomorrow...

tomorrow's looking grey...

a playground always locked

trains no winning teams.

Won't take no for an answer...

I was born to be a dancer...
