# First, when there's nothing

# But a slow, glowing dream

# That your fear

# Seems to hide

# Deep inside

# Your mind

# All alone

# I have cried

# Silent tears

# Full of pride

# In a world

# Made of steel

# Made of stone

# Well, I hear the music

# Close my eyes

# Feel the rhythm

# Wrap around

# Take a hold of my heart

# What a feeling

# Being's believing

# I can have it all now l'm dancing

# For my life

# Take your passion

# And make it happen

# Pictures come alive

# You can dance right through your life... #

l'll tell you what.

l'll give you the Cowboys and three.

- Three and a half.

- Take three, be happy.

Three and a half. l'm ecstatic.

# What a feeling

# Being's believing

# I can have it all

Now l'm dancing for my life

# Take your passion

# And make it happen

# Pictures come alive

# Now l'm dancing through my life

# What a feeling... #

If I said, it wouldn't be a surprise.

# He doesn't mean a thing to me

# Just another pretty face to see

# He's all over town

Knocking 'em dead, honey

# l'd never let him next to me

# He's the kind of guy

Who thinks he's smart

# He's the type

That always looks the part

# He's so on the make

lt's so hard to take, honey

# l'd never let him touch my heart

# There he stands

Ask me if I care

# Look, he's coming close

# Oh, I swear

# He's got to be

The toughest guy l've ever seen

# I can't believe he's looking at me... #

Jake, sit down and play a game.

# He doesn't even catch my eye

# He's lucky he just walked on by

# 'Cause he hasn't met a girl like me

Are you kidding

# l'd tell him that l'd rather die

# There he stands

Ask me if I care

# Look, he's coming closer

# Oh, I swear, he's got to be

# The toughest guy l've ever seen

# I can't believe he's looking at me

# He's a... He's a dream... #

I get Dallas and three and a half.

# Oh, I swear, he's got to be

The toughest guy l've ever seen

# There he stands

Ask me if I care

# Look, he's coming closer

# He's a dream #

One cheese, medium. Fries.

Two plain, rare,

tomato and onions.

One pastrami on kaiser.

Mayo, no mustard.

- What's a pimple on a Polack's ass?

- I need that BLT on rye, Richie.

A brain tumour.

- Richie.

- What's this?

Come on, Richie.

A lesbian with a hard-on.

l'm terrific, right?

You can tell me. I can take it.

Mayo, no mustard.

Can't you see me opening up in L.A?

Direct from Pittsburgh, it's

Richie Blazik, ladies and gentlemen.

L.A?

What's all this talk about L.A?

You've been on the stage two times.

I give you two lousy shots and

you're talking about going to L.A.!

Come on. What are you, crazy?

Besides, you're too short anyway.

They don't let short people

into Hollywood.

And you're making

the hamburgers too big again.

Make 'em smaller.

l'll give you small.

This place is so small you have

to go outside to change your mind.

My turn.

Ring, damn you.

I can't believe he didn't call.

- He'll call.

- Do you think so?

- Of course. Why wouldn't he?

- Yeah, why wouldn't he!

Maybe he'll call, I don't know.

When I talked to him, he seemed

funny. Like, ''l'll call you later, babe.''

I don't think he'll call.

- Don't worry, he'll call.

- You really think so?

- Why wouldn't he?

- You're right. He'll call.

- But if he doesn't call, should I call him?

- He'll call.

I love how you always try

to straighten out other people's lives.

Any time you want me

to straighten out yours, let me know.

Personally, I never call.

Because I don't have to.

- But if you want my advice...

- Not really.

- Hi, girls!

- Hi, Richie.

- Can I help? A foot massage?

- Get out of here!

- lt's been long since he's had some.

- I bet.

Hi.

Hi.

Do you read lips?

What?

I saw you dance last night.

- I just wanted to say hi.

- Hi.

You're Alex.

I know.

l'm Nick Hurley.

Really?

l've seen your name

on my pay cheques.

What's a dancer doing

working as a welder?

A girl's got to make a living.

- You speak French?

- No. I just like the pictures.

Me too.

- Nick. They need you on ten.

- l'll be right there.

- You read Vogue?

- I used to.

My wife does.

I mean, my ex-wife.

l'm divorced.

We're divorced.

Sorry.

Listen, I got to get to work.

You never know when the boss

is going to be around.

You forgot your thermos.

Hi, Grunt.

So, did you get laid today?

'And now, news headlines

with Kevin Evans.'

'Good evening. In the news,

a fire caused extensive damage

'to the High View Lumber Company,

a dairy store

'and an American Motors

dealership in McDonald,

'Washington County,

this morning...'

Sh*t!

# Just a still town girl on a Saturday night

# Looking for the fight of her life

# In the real time world

No one sees her at all

# They all say she's crazy

# Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart

# Changing women into life

# She has danced into the danger zone

# When the dancer becomes the dance

# It can cut you like a knife

If the gift becomes the fire

# On a wire between will
