- Be yourself.

I'm God, see? And God

is Puerto Rican, you got that? Now.

God works in a casa de steam,

you know. It's a steam bath, right?

And he's talking to this angel. This angel

is a computer. An electronic computer.

I'm God, see? That's why I'm standing

on this chair, you got that? Good.

Does he wanna be a musician

or an airline pilot?

Mr. Martelli. We are ready when you are.

Would you care to begin?

Oh, okay. Sure.

Mr. Martelli.

Mr. Martelli.

Mr. Martelli!

Thank you. One instrument

at a time will be quite sufficient.

I could do it in 4/4

if you prefer a disco beat.

She's a disaster.

Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?

Deny thy father and refuse thy name.

Or, if thou wilt not,

be but sworn my love...

...and then I'll no longer be a Capu-

Capu- Capu-something.

Capulet.

- Like Cappelletti, the football player?

- Something like that.

- That's what I mean.

- Where's his application?

- He doesn't have one.

Well, get him one.

- What do you call that?

- Wicked.

Thou art thyself.

Thou art not a Montagoo-

Montagazz- Who knows?

This is the last day of auditions. We've

seen a lot of students. We're punchy.

- We're gonna take a break.

- Ah, yeah.

Go next door to Mrs. Shime.

Have her audition you.

Right next door.

- I tell her that you sent me?

Yeah.

- All right.

By the way...

...you were reading the girl's part.

- Sh*t.

You're not into high school.

I'm into dancing.

You're into ass, you mean. You don't

have to go to high school for that.

Who asked you to work my audition anyway?

- I was doing you a favor, remember?

- Some fat f***ing favor.

Take your things to the third floor.

Give your forms to the senior there.

Okay, you go downstairs, change

in the girls' room and wait for him.

I'm through?

I don't have to dance anymore?

Where you going, Leroy?

He's in and I'm out, right?

F*** you, Leroy! This was my audition,

remember? You're not into high school.

We were rehearsing to get me into this

school, not you, you f***er! It's not fair!

I didn't want to come here anyway.

This school sucks.

You've done me a favor, shithead.

You saved me four f***ing years

from this ass-licking school!

You looking at one happy lady!

Who wants to go to a f***ing school

to learn to dance, anyway?

Yeah, hello?

No, it isn't. This is Naomi Finsecker

speaking. Her mother. Who is this?

Replacement?

What do you mean, replacement?

So is she in or is she out?

Theresa!

I got in! I got in!

I got into Performing Arts!

Doris, we're in!

Get her out of there!

Hey, later on.

All right. All right!

See y'all later.

Hello.

Hey, mama, get in the car!

Baby!

Come on, baby, come on.

Christopher Gore

Christopher Gore (September 21, 1758 – March 1, 1827) was a prominent Massachusetts lawyer, Federalist politician, and U.S. diplomat. Born into a family divided by the American Revolution, Gore sided with the victorious Patriots, established a successful law practice in Boston, and built a fortune by purchasing Revolutionary government debts at a discount and receiving full value for them from the government. Gore entered politics in 1788, serving briefly in the Massachusetts legislature before being appointed U.S. District Attorney for Massachusetts. He was then appointed by President George Washington to a diplomatic commission dealing with maritime claims in Great Britain. He returned to Massachusetts in 1804 and reentered state politics, running unsuccessfully for governor several times before winning in 1809. He served one term, losing to Democratic-Republican Elbridge Gerry in 1810. He was appointed to the US Senate by Governor Caleb Strong in 1813, where he led opposition to the War of 1812. Gore invested his fortune in a variety of businesses, including important infrastructure projects such as the Middlesex Canal and a bridge across the Charles River. He was a major investor in the early textile industry, funding the Boston Manufacturing Company and the Merrimack Manufacturing Company, whose business established the city of Lowell, Massachusetts. Gore was involved in a variety of charitable causes, and was a major benefactor of Harvard College, where the first library was named in his honor. His palatial mansion in Waltham, Massachusetts, now known as Gore Place, is one of the finest extant examples of Federalist architecture, and has been declared a National Historic Landmark. more…
