How do I do that, exactly?

Look outside the box.

Find that special someone or

something that gets you excited,

that truly inspires you.

Like Suzanne?

Hey, if Suzanne's it, great.

She's a good dancer, which is

why I paired you together.

But?

But if she's not, get creative.

That's what an artist does.

And when you find it,

make it your own.

All right?

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

Here you go.

WOMAN:
Thanks.

Hey. Hey.

Do you want something?

Actually, I've got

a favor to ask you.

You got me a job and

now I owe you favors?

No.

I've seen you move and I

was hoping for some help.

You've seen me move?

What kind of help do you need?

I need help with pas de deux.

Pas de deux?

Yeah. Couples dancing.

I know what pas de deux is.

I'm not dumb.

Okay, well, I suck at it

and I need some help.

Well, that's why

you're at the ABA.

Yeah, I know.

They'll give me steps, but they

can't give me what I really need.

And what do you really need?

Fire.

What?

My instructor told me

to find fire.

What? And I look like two

sticks you can rub together?

Kind of.

Good luck with that one.

Forget I asked.

KATE:
Hey, Tommy. If you still need

my help, I need some extra cash.

Okay. Where?

What about here?

It's got to be off campus.

I have keys to the club.

I don't know

about the club either.

Well, that's about all I got.

No wait, hold up.

The club will work.

Hey. Hey.

What's up?

Not much.

Just trying to warm up.

Are you all stretched?

And ready to go?

Yeah. Good to go.

Liar. Okay.

Let's see what you got.

Wait, wait, wait.

Keep your hands here,

on my waist.

Almost. Let's try that again.

Better. How did you

get into this anyway?

You don't really

strike me as a dancer.

They taught us ballet

at hockey camp.

Helps strengthen our ankles

and work on balance.

So, you're a hockey player.

All-State, two years in a row.

And now you're a ballerina.

It's "ballerano."

Okay, let's try a lift.

One, two, three.

Yeah. So, after

my third concussion,

I figured I'd try

something else.

And badminton never came up?

An instructor pulled me

aside and promised me

hot girls wrapping their

legs and arms around me.

Look, if that's what you're here

for, go find somebody else.

I'm not here to screw around.

Okay, I'm glad we settled that.

And what about you?

You don't seem like

the typical ballerina.

I don't puke after every meal

and have a giant stick up my

ass, if that's what you mean.

Oh.

But full of grace.

That was better.

A little.

Got the one, two

And you see me

Open up, you'll free me

Life in one time

Get it with your mind right

Get it with your mind right

Get it on your, get it on your

Get up on your, get up on your
