Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights
(0.00 / 0 votes)November 1958,
my senior year of high school.
While other girls
were dancing to Elvis...
and dreaming about prom dates...
I was reading Jane Austen
And then my parents announced...
we were moving to Cuba--
in a week.
Slamming doors and
giving the silent treatment...
couldn't change that...
but it was easier than admitting
I was really scared.
was happy.
Dad got his big promotion
from Ford.
Mom got to travel in style,
and Susie...
I swear that girl
could adjust in a hurricane.
Welcome to the Hotel Oceana.
Not too shabby, huh?
Here's what I know about Cuba--
my high-school French
wasn't going to help me.
I didn't know a single person...
and though no one
would talk about it...
Fidel Castro was leading
a people in a revolution...
against President Batista...
not that you would know it
from this place.
This is Cuba.
Nobody cares what you do here.
Susie, you want a smoke?
Watch out for this one.
She's a bad influence.
I'll take that as a compliment.
She'll have you
ditching classes in no time.
As I recall,
there's a certain someone...
with me.
Don't forget to sign up
for mambo lessons.
Mambo classes
are held every day...
My God.
June Cleaver is in Havana.
Actually, that's my sister
Katey. She's a real brain.
Oh, really?
Yeah. She's probably going
to Radcliffe.
What, majoring in fashion?
Why don't you join us?
There's room here.
I'm James Phelps.
Hi. Katey Miller.
Pleasure to meet you.
- Are you the--
- Yeah.
- Your dad works for my dad.
- Yeah.
This is Sheila, Eve,
Polly, and Steph...
and I guess you know Susie,
right?
So, are you really going
to Radcliffe?
I won't know till spring.
Whoa. Watch out, girls.
I guess if your head's
in your books...
you really don't have time...
to think about
silly things like the weather.
Chilly?
Oh.
I'm so sorry. It's my fault.
No, just go get new drinks.
Stupid spic.
Excuse me.
- Excuse me. Seor?
- How may I help you, seorita?
I'd like to pay for them.
That will not be necessary.
Accidents happen. Excuse me.
I speak English...
and I don't need your charity.
It's not.
Don't worry about it. It's OK.
I'm sorry
for what she called you.
- That was nothing.
- Not to me.
Then why are you apologizing?
You guys were so good.
Your mother was good. I was OK.
- Dad?
- Hmm.
I'm sorry I haven't been
excited about all of this.
Sweetheart, it's OK.
Senior year is a terrible time
to drag you out of school...
especially when
you're the star of the class.
- Dad.
- Come on. Don't deny it.
Be proud of it.
You'll do great here, too.
I can't stand on your feet
anymore.
- Hey, you remembered that.
- Yeah.
Very good.
Let's continue
where we left off.
Book 18, page 25.
Katey, just do your best
to follow, all right?
It's OK. I read it last year.
Knock it off.
Well, then perhaps you'd like
"Now the suitors
turned to dance and song...
"waiting for dusk
to come upon them there...
and the dark night came
upon them, lost in pleasure."
Can anyone tell us...
the significance
of this passage?
doing it.
keep invading Odysseus' house...
so that he'll get angry enough
to kill them.
And why does the goddess
want that?
She wants Odysseus
to find his strength...
and courage?
Very good.
Need a ride home?
No. I'm OK. I got
a lot of catching up to do.
You know, a lot of girls...
