was in trouble, I should help.

Could you lend me $250?

Are you all right?

Are you in trouble?

No, it's not me.

Could you loan it to me?

That's a lot of money.

What's it for?

Baby, stand up straight.

I can't tell you.

It's hard for me to say that to you,

but I can't.

You always said you could

tell me anything.

I can't tell you this.

It's not illegal, is it?

No, Daddy.

That was a stupid thing to ask.

Forgive me.

I'll have it for you before dinner.

- Is everything all right?

- Fine.

Thanks, Daddy.

Here's the money.

- You mean Robbie?

- No. You were right about him?

- Then where'd you get it?

- You said you needed it.

- Is this kid for real?

- Takes a real saint to ask Daddy.

Thanks, Baby, but I can't use it.

What? What's the matter with you?

You should take the money.

I can only get her an appointment

for Thursday.

They do their act

at the Sheldrake Thursday.

If they cancel, they lose this

season's salary and next year's gig.

What's the Sheldrake?

It's another hotel

where they do their mambo act.

Can't someone else fill in?

No, ""Miss Fix-it.""

Somebody else can't.

Maria has to work all day.

She can't learn the routines.

And Janet has to fill in for Penny.

Everybody works here.

You wanna do it?

Take time out from ""Simon Says""?

It's not a bad idea.

It was a 5oke.

- She can move.

- It's the dumbest idea I ever heard of.

- I can't even do the merengue.

- See?

You're a strong partner.

You can lead anybody.

She can't even do the merengue.

She cannot do it.

- No!

- Oh, sorry. Sorry.

You don't step on the one.

You gotta start on the two.

Find the two. Understand?

-I never did any of these dances before.

-It's one, two, three, four.

When the music starts, you don't

dance until the two. Got it?

Relax, relax.

Breathe.

Frame.

Nope.

Again.

Ow.

Two, three, four.

Two, three, four.

Don't lean back. Lifting up.

Two, three, four.

Shoulders down.

Again. Concentrate. And...

Don't put your heel down.

- Don't put your heel down.

- I didn't--

Stay on the toe.

Just listen to me.

The steps aren't enough.

Feel the music.

It's not on the one.

It's not the mambo.

It's not on the one.

It's not the mambo.

It's a feeling, a heartbeat.

Don't try so hard.

Close your eyes.

Two, three, four.

Two, three, four.

Breathe.

Head up.

Lock your frame. Lock it.

Look, spaghetti arm.

This is my dance space.

This is your dance space.

I don't go into yours. You don't

go into mine. You gotta hold the frame.

Again.

Frame.

Back. Easy.

Back. Easy.

And turn, turn. Down.

And lift. You'll learn that later.

And come on.

Down. Twist.

And the bow.

- Sorry. Sorry.

- You trying to kill me?
