A Chorus Line Page #5

Screw him.

If I could think of anything I was

ashamed of, I'd have tried it years ago.

Zach?

Look, Zach--

I just need a minute.

-How many jobs are there?

-Four and four.

-44?

-No, four and four.

Four boys, four girls.

Need any women?

Cassie.

Dick, I'm going to need a spotlight.

Would you set it up for me, please?

I'm really sorry,

but Zach said he'll call you

as soon as he can.

And he told me to ask you

in a nice way...

if you'd--

would you mind leaving.

Sh*t.

Taxi!

Cassie!

Taxi!

-Are you all right?

-That was a hell of a fall.

-Are you okay?

-I'm fine. I'm fine.

Taxi!

-Bloomingdale's.

-Thanks a lot.

Okay, Mike. I'll start with you.

Me?

Aren't you supposed

to start at the end?

So, what would you like to tell me?

I'd like to tell you

to start at the end.

You can wait in the musicians' room.

What am I doing here?

He told me to leave.

I don't care if there's

a tornado out there.

-Shut up. Sorry, are you all right?

-I'm fine.

-You want to put some ice on that elbow?

-I look like a drowned rat.

What made you start dancing?

Because of my sister.

She was a girl.

So my Mom decided she's the one

to get all the dancing lessons.

Every Saturday my mother would take her.

Once in a while she'd take me along.

How old were you?

Four. Five.

I'd sit there all eager and...

I'm watchin' sis go pitter-pat.

Said, "I can do that".

"I can do that".

Knew every step right off the bat.

Said, "I can do that".

"I can do that!"

One morning sis

won't go to dance class.

I grab her shoes and tights and all.

But my foot's too small, so,

I stuff her shoes

with extra socks.

Ran seven blocks,

in nothing flat.

Hell, I can do that.

That I can do!

Give the man some room!

Yeah!

All right!

All thanks to sis,

I can do that.

You have any ice for my ego?

It hurts worse than my elbow.

What did you expect? You know what

Zach's like when he's working.

-If you keep interrupting him--

-Hey!

What're you talking to me

like I'm a grown-up for?

Just stay put.

-And keep that ice on your elbow.

-Larry.

Does Zach still think that I--?

Cassie, let's get one thing straight.

You can stay till you find a place.

But as far as you and Zach are concerned,

I'm not getting in the middle.

Actually, I don't know how

I turned out as heavenly as I did.

Are you going to do a routine?

No, no. Moving right along.

Start with your family.

Do you want to know all the wonderful

things that've happened to me?

Or you want the truth?

I'll take the truth.

My mother had a lot of card parties...

and was one of the foremost

bridge cheaters in America.

My father worked for this

big corporation.

They used to send him

out into the field a lot,
