- We just got you this car.

- An Escalade.

- We'll get you an Escalade.

- What did you say?

- Nothin', man.

- Yeah, nothing.

So, can I still come to the party?

- (Mac) Skinny, come on!

- He ain't say nothin' about me.

He said y'all couldn't go to the party.

He didn't say nothin' about Skinny.

Will you shut up?

Ready? Down, up, step, turn.

- Piqu and...

- What the hell is a piqu?

This is a piqu.

We do the turn

and land face to face, OK?

- I get it...

- Do it again.

- It's just...

- What?

It's just stiff.

This whole thing is stiff. It's boring.

Boring?

Don't look at me like I'm stupid.

I know you know what I'm sayin'.

Fine. Well, that's the way it is, so...

Fine.

Ready? And...

Down, up...

step, turn, piqu, and... (gasps)

- Like this?

- Um...

OK, I am starving.

Tyler's just here until Andrew's back.

And why is this the first time

I'm hearin' about it?

We still have work to do.

Wait. I can't watch?

Is he that bad...?

- Goodbye.

- You can tell me!

OK.

OK, um...

- I'll see you tomorrow.

- All right. I'll see you tomorrow.

OK.

Can you come to the club

and hear me sing with Colin on Saturday?

Ooh, maybe you can bring Tyler.

Can you stop talking

about how hot he is?

OK, Brett's not around, so why do you

keep denying the obvious? It's so obvious.

OK, fine. Tyler's good looking,

but he's annoying.

See? Your guard's up,

and that must mean that you like him.

- You couldn't be more wrong.

- Ooh!

And defensive, too.

You know, that must mean that you,

um... really, really like him.

( ringtone)

I'm just sayin'.

Look. Miles sent me another MP3.

Ugh.

Better listen to it now. He'll call

in five minutes, askin' what you think.

You've been gettin' on

Miles' case a lot lately.

Because he's irritating.

Ooh.

- Defensive. What does that mean again?

- Just listen to the track, OK?

(laughs)

( "Step Up"

by Samantha Jade)

Hm.

It's good.

Whatever.

Whoa-oa-oa

Step. Step. Step up

Step. Step. Step up

- This.

- This is better.

You step up.

I'll step up. Boy

'Cause I'm tryin'

to be With you forever...

No matter What We go through

You step up.

I'll step up. Too

It don't matter What the haters say

Long as you are my boo

No matter hoW hard it gets

This love Will have no regrets

As long as When We steppin'

on the dance floor. It's me and you

The rhythm of the beat.

That's my heart

Cupid shot me

With an arroW from the start

It's your love

that's got me trapped

Every time I try to leave.

You bring me back

So much Water.

At times I've cried a river...

I'm so serious.

If you don't stop laughing...

OK, no!

- Are you serious?

- Ready?

You step up.

I'll step up. Too...
