Staying Alive Page #2

- Come in.|- You nearly broke my face with the door.

I'm giving you my best come-ons|and you try to mangle my face.

- Well, Jimmy, you see...|- Tony!

Whatever. You seem to take pleasure|in treating women as incredibly stupid.

If you're mad at me, I apologise.|I thought I was being charming.

You did try to damage my head.|But the thing is that I...

I amazingly respect your dancing|talent. And your womanhood.

I didn't always respect womanhood,|but since I moved to Manhattan,

I got this new, mature outlook. I don't|smoke, I don't drink, I don't curse.

Anyway, I would like to take you out.

Maybe we could have a drink,|maybe have some dinner. And...

But someplace informal, because|my suits are all being pressed.

Well, thank you|but I have to go home early tonight.

- We're auditioning for the new show.|- Are you in it?

- Definitely. Are you a dancer?|- Yeah, couldn't you tell?

Oh, of course.|Why don't you come by tomorrow?

- I could put in a good word for you.|- No, don't do that. Please.

I really don't need any help|in that department.

- OK.|- Are you sure you can't go out tonight?

Sorry.

Well, if I don't see you any more,

nice meeting you|and being insulted by you.

My pleasure.

- Aren't you coming tomorrow?|- I knew you wanted to see me again.

Taxi!

- Want to eat?|- I got to get to the club.

- Why do you work at that club?|- Extra money.

- There's an audition tomorrow.|- I told you a week ago.

- Really?|- Yeah. You'll audition, won't you?

Why not?|Rejection's a hobby now.

Oh, listen to you!

Small world, isn't it?|Goodnight.

- Goodnight.|- Goodnight. Do you know her?

- Just informally.|- How did you meet her?

She was passing.|I said she was an OK dancer.

You told her she's OK!

- Something to that effect.|- She's a great dancer!

- Whose is the limo?|- I think it belongs to her.

- She comes from money.|- Really?

Is she heavily involved|with someone?

What do you mean?

Has she got a lot of guys|drooling over her?

I don't want to hear|if you're hot over somebody.

I just respect her dancing.

Did you hear the way she talks?|It's so intelligent. I love it.

An accent doesn't make you intelligent.|If it did, you'd be Einstein.

Jackie, I'm not trying to make|you jealous. You're a good dancer.

- What can I say?|- Don't play these games.

- What games?|- I'll see you tomorrow.

Come on, I don't even know her!

Are you sure you don't want|something to eat?

Manero, you've got a way with words!

Very good. Excellent!

Just in case you've got to hear it|again, it's whoever's right for the show.

Michelle, Tracy...

Smitty...

Karen, yes...|Sorry.

Jackie, you worked real hard.|Yes.

- OK, that's it. Next group!|- OK, men please!
