Make It Happen Page #3

# I don't care much for small talk

# There's no need

to say a thing more

# I can make you feel

something lovely

# That you've never felt before

# Maybe if you're lucky,

I'll show you what I've got

# But let's get something straight, dear

# I get what I want

# Slow down, boy

# Don't you step on my toes... #

Hey, don't be late again.

Aye-aye.

- This goes on every night?

- Every night we're open.

Brenda's got a real vision for the place.

It's rooted in burlesque, but our dance

goes way beyond the traditional stuff.

- Well, you were terrific up there.

- Thanks.

What's up, girls? Good job tonight.

- Brenda, hit me.

- Yes, wash this stuff down.

Hey, this is Lauryn.

She's the new bookkeeper.

Carmen's not interested

in any stories she's not the star of.

Oh, still bummed I'm not the star

of your world any more?

- Baby, stars burn out.

- Maybe you couldn't stand the heat.

You guys wanna do some

after-hours damage at Junior's?

- Yes. Cheers.

- Cheers!

- Right, first round's on Lauryn!

- What?

Can we have a Cosmo

and a gin and tonic, no ice?

Hey, two.

Let's get this party started.

Aw, well, welcome to Chicago.

Congratulations on the new job.

Cool about earlier?

Cos I was just playing.

- So how long you worked at Ruby's?

- About a year.

- You like it?

- There's worse ways to make a living.

I'll bet there are.

- Why aren't you out there?

- Not my kind of dancing.

Sitting back, hiding in your hoodie...

That's your kind of dancing?

So... er... you and Carmen?

No. No.

That was like a 24-hour flu.

You get it, you get really sick,

and then you get over it.

So arrogant. "Are you just hide

out there in your hoodie?"

Russ likes giving people a hard time,

especially if he thinks they're cute.

Please.

Russ was right.

You should've been on the floor with us.

What, dancing like Carmen? Shakin' it?

Work it. Ha!

I love it.

Seriously, you're missing another side

you could bring to your dancing.

I'm not dancing right now, remember?

Hey, you're looking good.

Why do my feet hate me?

I don't know. Maybe it's cos

you're going from the twist into a step.

Like you're missing something.

- Right. I'll just eighty-six the combo.

- No, it's...

No, I think the combination's fine.

It's just I think you're missing a piece.

Like, if it was my thing

and I wanted to do that

I would just go... here to there.

Hmm...

Could you show me that again?

Sure, it's simple.

- Here.

- Here...

Then here.

Then there.

- There... I like that.

- Yeah?

Watch your back, D.

Girl's got moves.

- Maybe you should watch yours.

- Her moves ain't that good.

Maybe you should give it a try,

get up on stage one night.
