All That Jazz Page #4

Synopsis: Choreographing and picking dancers for his current show whilst editing his feature film about a stand-up comedian is getting to Joe Gideon. Without the chemical substances, he would not have the energy to keep up with his girlfriend, his ex-wife, and his special dancing daughter. They attempt to bring him back from the brink, but it's too late for his exhausted body and stress-ravaged heart. He chain-smokes, uses drugs, sleeps with his dancers and overworks himself into open-heart surgery. Scenes from his past life start to encroach on the present and he becomes increasingly aware of his mortality.

And tall.

Michael Graham is a very tall name.

Oh, goddammit!

to call somebody who's not gay?

l see. You can go out

with any girl, any girl in town...

Tha's right. l go out with any girl in town.

l stay in with you.

Joe, i's not fair...

l'm spilling the coffee...

l's all wrong. Everything is all wrong.

Tha's some set of rules you had for her.

Yeah, l know. l know.

But as long as you could

get away with it, right?

Right.

l don't wanna go out with Michael Graham.

l don't want a date. l have no small talk left.

l don't wanna fool around, l don't wanna

play games and l don't wanna fight.

l just want to love you.

Katie...

l try to give you everything l can give.

Oh, you give, all right. Presents, clothes...

l just wish

you weren't so generous with your cock.

Tha's good.

Maybe l can use that some time.

Katie! About the goddamn tour...

l don't think you should go.

Wrong reading.

Softly and with feeling.

Don't go.

Please?

- l can think of many reasons

- for wanting to be with you.

- Now don't bullshit a bullshitter.

Take off with us, take off with us

We're warmin' up, so take off with us

NY to LA-A-A

Goin' all the way-ay-ay

Won't you climb aboard?

You'll ride as smooth as glass

- l's perfect. Didn't l tell you?

- Up there, where the clouds are pillowy

You're as close to heaven as you'll ever be

Lean back, relax, here come the snacks

Drop your diet, have a fall

Don't stop with one, try 'em all

Music's ready to begin

Take out your headset, plug it in

Wha's your answer, chu-hu-hum?

Are you gonna co-o-ome?

On the coolest, hottest trip

Tha's ever been

Oh, i's very, very good!

l think we might even get

a commercial tie-in with the airlines.

- You think so? Great.

- Audrey?

Well, ask...

Yeah, i's OK.

Let me see what l can do with it.

l think i's just what the show needs.

l's catchy, i's bouncy. Right, Ted?

- Oh, yeah, very bouncy and catchy.

- Can we hear it again?

- l'd love to hear it again.

- Oh! Arnie...

Turn. Some f***in' music.

- Turn back.

- Arch your back. Extend the right leg.

Ease your partner down gently.

Slide. Slide.

Slide!

Have you ever slept with another woman?

l once tried living with two girls.

Two girls at once.

- We lived together.

- Laughed together.

- Drank together.

- Smoked together.

Slept together.

Woke up one morning...

one of them was gone.

On the bureau, she left a note.

l'm sorry. l cannot share you any more.

l want you all to myself, or not at all.

Please, please try to understand.

l not only understood, l was flattered.

l was flattered that she felt

so strongly about me.
