She's probably the best female instructor

we got right now.

They call her "the Aerobics Pied Piper."

- A lot of couples met in her class.

- Really?

Turn it around.

I'm going back to my workout.

- Enjoy the class.

- Thanks.

- Nice meeting you.

- It was very nice meeting you.

Squeeze. Release. Squeeze. Release.

Toes out!

Shoulders down.

Really tighten your thighs!

Touch down!

Straight leg, left. Go!

Hold it down on two...

Hold it!

Let's go!

- 'Night, Kim.

- Goodnight, Jessie.

- Hi, Shirley.

- Hi, Jessie.

Jessie.

- Adam Lawrence. Hi.

- Hi.

- I really enjoyed your class. You're great.

- Thanks.

I'm a reporter for Rolling Stone.

I'm writing on the Sports Connection.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Rolling Stone?

- Yes.

I'd love to interview you.

- Why?

- Why not?

- I can think of a lot of reasons.

- It would be good for business.

Business is fine.

You think about it.

I'll be around for a few days.

I will, but I don't change my mind

about anything.

Could you give me a reason why?

I read magazines.

The Star Garden Club

is proud to present...

direct from New York City,

the one and only...

Shotsy.

- Jessie, hi.

- Hi.

- Did you think about it?

- Very, very hard.

- Did you change your mind?

- No.

- Well, I'll get someone else to interview.

- I guess you will.

Maybe you don't understand.

I may want you as the focus of my story.

No, you don't understand.

I don't want to be the focus of anything.

Okay, you don't have to be the focus.

I just need your viewpoint.

Last time I counted,

there were 90 aerobic instructors.

- But your classes are the biggest, sexiest...

- Are you deaf? No!

- What's the problem?

- I was burned once.

I don't intend to get burned again.

- The battery's dead.

- No kidding. It happens all the time.

Where's your car?

I have jumper cables.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

I can never remember

which is positive or negative. Try that.

- All right.

- Keep it going.

Okay, I have an idea.

I know you don't want to be interviewed.

- But how about dinner tonight?

- Sorry.

How about lunch tomorrow?

- All off the record?

- Just like regular people.

- Hello.

- Hi.

I'm sorry to call so late,

but I just got your message.

What's going on?

- Are you all right?

- Yeah. Why?

Hold on, I'm putting you on speaker.

I got a call from a guy I know who's in

the shady end of the record business.

He said you're ringing the wrong doorbells

and might end up in the hospital.

Make sense to you?

I don't know.

I've been poking around, but...

I made contact

with one of his old girlfriends today.

Maybe somebody's nervous about that.

I called just to say watch yourself.

I want you to promise me
