Go for It! Page #5

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?

- I can't count on anybody.

- I'm sorry.

- Just focus on your feet

doing what they're supposed to.

I'll see you at practice tomorrow.

- Where's Gina? You seen Gina?

- Sh*t!

Pablito, seen Gina?

No, man.

Let me ask you something.

You like my girl?

- What?

- Do you like my girl?

- No, man.

- Keep it that way.

When you see Gina, you tell her

I was looking for her, all right?

There's a three-drink minimum.

I don't see 15 beers here.

You're my boy, Pablito. I owe you one.

Hey, Jesse.

Aren't you gonna do your sh*t

for us tonight?

I don't know.

What, you're too good for us now?

No, man. I just wanna go home

and do my sh*t in the toilet.

- Carmen, you ready?

- Yeah.

- I gotta go.

- Come on, stay, stay, girl.

You just got here.

Come here. Gina!

Come on, let's go. You're late.

Five, six... Jump in.

- Hey, girl.

- Hey.

Where you been? I've been waiting for you.

You have?

Why, what's the matter?

I have a math quiz on Friday,

and I'm not sure about some questions.

- Really? Math, huh?

- Yeah.

Wait. Don't you have homework?

No, I already did my homework.

All right, mama, have a good night, okay?

Bye.

Where are you going? You just got home.

I'm going out.

Enough dancing, hija.

Be home early.

Bye.

What you got, girl?

Loli, you go, girl. You got this.

Loli! Loli! Loli!

No, she didn't.

All right. Hold this.

Do it! Work it, work it!

Work your magic, girl.

Shake it!

Hi.

Hey.

You came.

Where am I?

This is my best friend, Gina.

Hi, Gina, best friend.

Hello.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Come on. I hope you're hungry.

Hungry? Are you hungry?

What about these?

No.

All right.

So, we're not eating here, are we?

No, but I'm paying, remember?

And I get an employee discount.

What about these?

You know, I think I had those yesterday.

Great.

Great.

- Smell this.

- What is it?

It's a Mexican vegetable.

So, what do you want for dessert?

You know, you better pick,

because I don't recognize anything.

That's funny.

You're serious.

Hello.

So, Jared.

Tell me, where do you live?

Evanston.

Fancy!

Did you get my discount?

I got your discount, girl, and I got mine.

It's two for one tonight.

So you need to put some meat

on those bones.

Because I know

how you white boys like them, okay?

- You saw that? Okay.

- I'll get you tomorrow.

You better.

- Bye, Gina.

- Wait.

Take me with you, yeah?

Love you. Call you later.

I hate this place.

What is it?

It's a big, fat potato chip.

Take a bite.

Come on.

I'll tell you what. I'll take a bite,

but if something happens to me,

- it's completely your fault.

- Fair enough.

Are you okay?

- Oh, my God.

- Yeah. Actually, it's not that bad.

See? Told you.

As long as we don't know what it is.
