High Strung
1
The music is always
I don't know
where it comes from.
I only know that
I will be consumed.
I can't remember
when I started dancing.
It's always just been who I am.
Balanchine said,
"See the music,
hear the dance."
It's my first day
in New York City.
My eyes are wide open.
And I am ready to listen.
This is how you start
the day, Krispy. Let's go!
Breakfast going to be
good today, Rik.
Come on, let's go, let's go!
Hey!
Let's go, Rik.
Don't slow up on me now.
Hit it!
All right, yeah.
Drop it, drop it.
Go!
Let 'em fly.
There it is.
Come on, we're gonna be late.
Oh, we're going left, up
here, to the dance department.
- Can you wait just a sec?
- Sure.
So, honey, here we are.
Everything that
you've always wanted.
Thank you for
making this happen.
You made it happen.
Just make sure you call me
if you need anything at all.
- Even just to talk.
- I will, I will.
Oh, mom.
- Call me.
- I promise.
I'll be fine.
- I'll be fine.
- I know you will.
It's just me I'm worried about.
I love you. That's all
I'm going to say.
I love you too.
Bye.
Oh!
I'm sorry.
I was just...
admiring here.

- I'm sorry.
- She's beautiful.
- Ah!

Any questions?

Use your imagination.
All right, then.

Jazzy, except my parents.
- Okay.
- Come on in!
You know, you don't have to ring
the doorbell, you live here.
Oh, right.
I figure this is my bed, so,
I'll just put my stuff here.
Yeah, that's perfect.
- You're on scholarship?
- Yeah.
Me too.
It's my second year.
Hey, how did it go with Markova?
- Great.
- Really?
Someone must have dislodged
a broomstick up her butt,
because normally
she is an uptight witch.
Actually, I'm pretty sure
This is cute.
You should wear this tonight.
Um, where are we going?
We're going out.
But, we have class
tomorrow morning.
Yeah and this is your first
night living on your own
in New York City!
We are so going out!
- No, we're not.
- Yes, we are!
- No!
- Yes!
I got the red line
drafted, that's right.
- Hey. -I'm waiting
for the counter.
Okay.
Okay, I'll call you back.
- Hey, hey, Johnnie.
- Hi.
- How are you doing?
- Yeah, not bad.
- You want something to drink?
- No, I'm good, mate.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
Here you go.
It's all there.
Great.
So, when do you think
you'll have it by?
Soon, don't worry.
I'll file the papers as soon
as I get back to the office.
I'll call you by the end of the week.
We should have an update on it.
All right, I mean, thank you
for handling all this.
I guess I'll see you.
- I'll be waiting for your call.
- You got it, kid.
We have the right to be here.
I want to see some ID right now.
Yo! Wait up.
Hey, man.
You live upstairs?
Uh, yeah, Simon's place.
Oh, that's cool.
You gotta love Inwood, right?
Neighborhood is sketchy,
but the price is right.
At least it's Manhattan, right?
Right.
- Johnnie Blackwell.
