'I've got one dream, one shot.

'Today, everything could change.'

# Could you, could you,

could you teach me?

# Show me that again

# Could you, could you,

could you teach me?

# You take the lead

# Straight up! Do you have rhythm

underneath your feet?

# Does the beat flow

through that fine body?

# Do you enjoy sweatin' all on me?

# Whoa! Did you just bust

that move freestylin'?

# Do you do much choreographin'?

# You're wildin' out, boy, great timin',

I like a man who can dance

# Showin', swingin', bangin',

teach me how to dance

# Could you, could you teach me,

teach me how to?

# Could you, could you,

could you teach me?

# Teach me how to dance... #

I'm off to the garage. You wanna lift?

No, thanks.

I'm gonna work the routine

a few more times.

- Big day, huh?

- Yep.

So you're packed?

Almost.

OK, see you later.

- Hey.

- There you are.

- Missed you at the party last night.

- Sorry, Wayne. I had to finish packing.

- I burned you some travelling music.

- Oh!

So, are you nervous?

Not really. I'm more excited.

Come on, it's the Chicago School

of Music and Dance.

I know. I've only been dreaming about it

for as long as I can remember.

The girls I'm up against, they trained with

the best teachers and choreographers.

So you are nervous.

Don't worry.

They'd be crazy not to take you.

Has your brother lightened up at all?

Hmm, you know how Joel can be.

- He doesn't get it.

- He's just gonna miss you.

This means me and my two left feet

will have to find a new dance partner!

- You aren't that bad.

- Yeah, right!

All right, good luck.

- Get out of here.

- OK.

- Good luck, Lauryn.

- Thanks, Marty.

- Frankie quoted me 500.

- Course he did, he's a crook.

I'll do it for 250. Pick it up after lunch.

See you then.

Hey, Clueless, I think she wanted

you to pick her up after lunch.

Last month after payroll,

you're plus 600.

Good month.

That's still 1,800 behind

for the month before last.

OK.

I guess I'll be hitting the road.

Joel... why am I on the schedule?

Sorry, wishful thinking.

Come on. I'm 21. It's now or never.

If I nail this audition, I'm gonna be

in Chicago till my classes begin.

Look, I got some interviews

together for you.

Qualified bookkeepers to replace me.

Resumes are on my desk.

how you're gonna pull that off.

With a part-time job, Joel.

I promised after Mom and Dad died,

I'd do whatever

to keep this place running.

But I can't work in a garage all my life.

You know I've trained to be a dancer.

Yeah, I know.

All right.

I'm outta here.

Boss, if she don't work here no more,

you think I could date her?

Not if you want to live.

# Take the other road,

go where I wanna go

# Just like a jigsaw puzzle,

some piece is out of place

# You've lost your own perception

on how to win this race

# Cos everybody in the world

seems to sing the same song

# Marching to the same beat,

playing from the same drum

# But I ain't afraid to keep

my own eternity

# I live my live, I do it my way... #

- Excuse me, where do we check in?

- Up there.

- Name?

- Lauryn Kirk.

Lauryn Kirk? 252.

Next. Name?

Thanks for coming in.

- I give her about a minute fifteen.

- You're kidding.

If you last more than a minute,

you're lucky.

Thank you. Thank you,

Stephanie, that's enough.

That's not what we're looking for,

but thanks for coming in.

Enjoy your time in Chicago.

Who's next?

Number 252.

Yeah, hi, how are you?

Hi, I'm Lauryn Kirk

from Glenwood, Indiana.

- So, what have you brought for us?
