Shall We Dance Page #3
yourself that you might not be aware of.
If there's something obnoxious about me
that you don't think I'm aware of,
y'all should feel free to say
something about it to me.
Shooting fish in a barrel.
- Where are all the ladies, anyways?
- I don't know what I'm talking about.
The ladies, they all go and take
the classes down at Doctor Dance -
that's, like, the hip place to go downtown.
Ditzy Mitzi's is only hangin' on by a thread.
Only reason I go there is she lets me
rehearse whenever I want for free.
Chicago Taittinger Trophy.
Soon as I find a partner.
So... that leaves you.
Leaves me? How? What?
Leaves you as the only one here
who hasn't said why he's dancing yet.
Oh. Well, I'm dancing
for exercise, like Vern.
Bull.
Because I'm lousy in bed, like Chic.
There, I've said it.
- That is bull! I didn't say I was bad in bed.
- You didn't have to.
Come on, why?
Could I have some?
That's what I thought.
She was a Blackpool finalist, you know.
Who?
The princess.
The other teacher, Paulina.
What's Blackpool?
Every year, all the best dancers
from all over the world...
go to England to compete there.
She was there last year with her partner -
who they say was much more to her
than just her partner.
Anyway, he dumped her. That's the only
reason she came back here to teach -
mad at the world,
boo-hoo-hoo and all that.
- Why'd he dump her?
- Yeah.
How the hell should I know?
God, they say women gossip! Golly!
Hello? I'm home.
Great. Great, Vern.
Slow. The mambo is slow.
Slide that hand one inch
south of the equator...
and I will bust you on your ass,
twinkle-toes.
Let's get something straight. I don't like
the tropics any more than you do, OK?
Five, six, seven, eight...
Arms. And basic.
And cross over.
Right.
One more time,
and walk around.
- And basic.
- Watch out.
And big ending.
Look at you, John!
- That was pretty good.
- You were really good.
Hey, I'm sorry I'm late.
I'm gonna go up and change.
Right.
- Dad work late tonight?
- Yeah, looks that way.
Guess whatever he's working on,
he must like it.
- Why do you say that?
Does he?
in New York.
We're gonna have trouble getting more
stock in. Everything's on back-order.
Look, Carolyn, I'm gonna need you
to go to New York and sweet-talk them.
- Can you leave tomorrow?
- No.
Why not?
My husband is having an affair.
How do you know that?
I picked up the receiver last night
to phone a friend,
not knowing that Greg was already
on the other line in the den.
He was whispering.
What was he whispering?
I don't know.
I was so scared I hung up
