Go for It! Page #4

Synopsis: Carmen is a good student with a bad attitude who lives for dancing in the underground clubs of Chicago. She yearns to be 'somebody' but is afraid to believe in herself. Her immigrant Mexican, working-class parents want her to stay in school and get an education, so she attends junior college while working at a grocery store. Carmen's professor catches her performing one day in the neighborhood and challenges her to audition to a formal dance school in California. She gets into a fight with her chaotic family and runs away to her best friend Gina's place only to find out Gina's been getting beat up by her boyfriend. Meanwhile, Carmen's boyfriend, Jared wants her to commit and move in with him. Pulled apart in every direction, her dream of dancing fades. Can Carmen overcome her fears and take the biggest chance of her life, or will she succumb to her self-doubt?

Hey, why don't you pay some

of the bills then?

Hey, at least I got wheels, bro.

Shoot! I'm gonna start

charging for gas, too.

It costs big chavos, Ma,

to transport heavy load.

I know you are not talking about me.

I will kick you in your...

No! Get away! I just pushed your ass from

Western to Kinzie and I see you don't even...

My wrist hurts from holding

that broken mirror all the time.

You know what? You're all wagging.

You two better shut up

or you'll be hitchhiking

with esa loser.

Whatever!

- Esa loser

- Ese loser

- Come on, Mom.

- Ese loser. Pop it up, pop it up.

Mija, can you help me

in the kitchen tonight?

I have to prepare the food for the church.

Mom, I gotta meet the dancers

at the club tonight.

Maybe some other time.

Is that all you think about?

How are you gonna make a good wife

when you don't know how

to take care of your home?

I don't wanna be a wife like that, Mom.

Mom, I'm really sorry,

I didn't mean it like that.

Why don't you take your punk ass

back to school

- and learn some goddamn manners?

- Why don't you shut up?

Yeah? You think you're gonna

go somewhere,

shaking your little skinny ass

on a raggedy stage

in front of hoochies and thugs

who can't even spell their own name?

Hey, who made you Professor Escalante?

As far as I remember, you dropped out.

- Yeah.

- Why don't you shut your damn mouth?

I know what I'm talking about, all right?

I've done what you've done,

and I've been there before,

and you go nowhere.

You stay in school

and you get a good education.

And you shut your damn mouth,

you sloppy-ass loser...

- Why don't you make me?

- Look at you.

You're a disgrace, man. Grow up.

You think you're gonna be a little goofball

and all that sh*t?

- Who do you think you are, man?

- What you gonna do, get in my face now?

- Yeah, yeah, come on.

- Get on up, you sloppy mouth over here.

Little kid, little baby over here,

talking about your car.

- Yeah, yeah. Get up, Gina! Yeah!

- We'll do it right now!

That's what you do!

You wanna do something...

I swear to God!

Okay.

- Is that what you gonna do?

- Yeah!

- Come on! Come on!

- Seriously?

- Come on! Come on!

- Do it! Swing!

- Come on! Get in my face then, huh?

- You stop that! I'm sick of your sh*t!

Three and four and five.

- Let's go!

- Get out of my face!

- Go! Swing it!

- Don't spit on me!

Shut up!

All-Stars have the big battle next month!

Tonight they're gonna show us

what they've got.

That's my girl!

- Go, Gina Gi.

- You got me.

Carmen!

You got it, girl!

Stop hanging on my man.

Why you always making me look bad?

I'm sorry. I don't know what happened.

- I just messed up, Loli, and I'm so sorry.
