And what will be

# She's a maniac

Maniac, on the floor

# And she's dancing

Like she's never danced before

Excuse me. Do you know

where the admissions office is?

The door on the left.

- Where is the focus?

- Where is it?

Where is the centre?

Look up.

When you fill out this application, list all

your years of dance education.

Starting with the most recent

place you've studied,

and the number of years

at each institution.

Also, if you have any professional

or other repertory experience,

please list those.

When you fill out this application,

be sure to list all your years

of dance education.

And the number of years

you've spent at each institution.

- I got to go, you guys.

- See you, Alex. Don't get dirty.

- Hello, dancer.

- Hi.

- Want a hand?

- No, thanks.

You know, I have this close,

personal relationship

with the lady

who drives the lunch truck,

and I think I can get her

to make us anything we want.

- As long as it's on the menu.

- l'm not having lunch today.

- How about dinner?

- I can't.

I don't have dinner with the boss.

Thanks anyway.

No lunch, no dinner.

How about a snack?

Milk and cookies?

I love this dress. lt's exactly

like the picture I showed you.

Thanks so much for making it.

Now, more important,

did you go to the repertory?

I meant to. I was going to go

yesterday, but I didn't have time.

- You must make the time, child.

- I know.

Remember the first time

you took me to see them dance?

I have dreams about it.

Dreaming is wonderful, but it won't

get you closer to what you want.

But l've saved money, so if they take me,

I can support myself.

But, child, they won't take you

unless you apply and audition.

- I know, but sometimes...

- Alexandra, you are 18 years old.

Do it now! Do it!

OK.

You are a good girl.

May the Lord be in your heart

and mind that you confess your sins

in the name of the father,

the son and the holy spirit.

Bless me father, for I have sinned.

lt's been two weeks

since my last confession.

l'm doing OK. Sort of.

l've been thinking about sex a lot.

But you can't help

thinking about sex, right?

You probably can...

Help it, I mean.

Also, I told a lie.

I had to...

Well, I didn't have to, but...

All I wanted to do

is to make her happy.

Hanna wanted me

to get the application.

I couldn't tell her that I didn't have

the courage to go through with it.

If you had seen all those dancers...

all those people...

There is no way I belong there.

I want to make

something out of my life.

I want to do so much

and sometimes...

Sometimes I think
