(BOTH GRUNT)

- (MAN WHISTLES)

- (HORSE NEIGHS)

BOTH:
Ugh!

I can't see where we are.

Relax! We're in Paris! Aaah!

Quiet! We're

going to get caught!

Not another noise out of you.

(FARTS) That wasn't me!

(SNIFFS AND GROANS)

Wow!

- It's incredible!

- Paris is amazing.

(FELICIE SIGHS)

So, where's the dance school?

Relax, Felicie!

Enjoy Paris. Breathe it in.

Hi there!

Love your moustache, monsieur!

Ah, yes, Paris!

City of romance.

City of dreams.

City of fame and fortune!

City of lamp posts.

City of pigeons.

Did I say romance?

Yes, you did.

Now, where's the dance school?

Uh, I don't know.

Don't worry. We're a team.

- We'll find it together.

- Ugh!

Do you think it was stupid

to come to Paris?

Don't say that! We should

never give up on our dreams.

- (PIGEON COOS)

- (GRUNTS)

We're kids! We're all alone.

Was I really crazy to think

I could be a dancer?

What do you think?

- (SCREAMS)

- Victor?

I said...

Victor?

- I'm OK!

- Come back!

I can't swim!

Meet me on this bridge

at this time tomorrow.

No matter how dangerous it is,

I will return!

Victor! Come back!

Don't leave!

Please.

(SIGHS)

Huh?

TCHAIKOVSKY'S 'SWAN LAKE')

FELICIE:
Aaah!

MAN:
What have you come

here to do, huh?

You came here to steal,

didn't you?

Answer me! You're a thief!

I wasn't stealing!

I was looking at the dancer!

Liar! Empty your pockets!

- Get off me!

- Oh, yeah?

WOMAN:
Leave her alone.

She came here to steal!

I didn't! I really didn't!

Think this through.

If you hurt her,

then you will have to explain

how she got here

in the first place,

and aren't you supposed to be

taking care of the building?

Do you really want

to take the fall for this?

- (PANTS)

- (GRUMBLES)

Clear off.

- Wait!

- Go. Get out of here.

I have nothing to steal!

I-I can't sp...

I can't speak!

I just wanted to say

thank you for saving me!

You've said it.

Have a nice life.

(COUGHS)

Excuse me, but who was

that dancer on stage?

Rosita Mauri,

top dancer at the Opera.

Wow!

And what she did - that crazy

jumpy thing, what was that?

Are you a dancer too?

I'm a cleaner,

and you are an irritation.

Go away. (SCOFFS)

But you're the first person

to show me any kindness

in this city.

I've been separated

from my best friend.

I have nowhere to go,

and I'm an orphan.

Nice try, but I hate kids,

especially orphans.

Go find another idiot.

(GASPS)

The stairs, Odette.

The stairs are a disgrace.

I have guests

tomorrow afternoon,

and I want my building

looking worthy top to bottom.

I understand, ma'am.

If you understand,

why are you entering your rooms?
