Don't play, we've got people here.
If I gave you $1,000,000|would you be mad at me?
- Sure!|- You would?
Still? That's a beautiful dress|you've got on.
It is. You know, I can see them...|Sexy.
How about a quarter, as|a down payment on that $1,000,000?
Think I won't keep it?|I will keep it. Believe that.
I know you will take it.
There you go.|One, two, three...
...four, five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,|five, six, seven, eight.
Two, three, four,|five, six, seven, eight.
Try again from the top.|Come on, you're dancing! You love it!
OK, once again.|Five, six, seven, eight!
Look in the mirrors at yourselves.|You got attitude. You got strength.
Attitude, come on...|Molly, watch your line.
Be proud! You're dancers.|You love dancing.
That's it. We've got potential here.|We've got real potential.
Any messages?
Any messages?
- Hey, Tony, how's your love life?|- All right.
- You know why I order so many drinks?|- You're an alcoholic.
No.|Because I love to watch your walk.
- Oooh, oooh! I like that!|- Great walk.
How are you, Margaret?|Freddie, where's my order?
Coming up.|Some of your groupie friends are here.
- Who?|- Those friends of yours.
- They're acquaintances.|- How about sharing the wealth?
- Am I your booking agent?|- You don't want to share?
I don't need your hand-me-downs.
- Have you got emotional problems?|- You think I need a shrink?
- How late are you working tonight?|- Till three.
- Want to come over?|- Last time, I almost got brain damage.
You party too hard.|You ought to be a tag team.
Good guys are hard to find.
Why don't you try the army?
- Are we on later?|- No, I can't make it.
Why not?
- Lately, I've been career oriented.|- What's that mean?
I don't have time for relationships|right now.
That right?
Well, let me tell you something.
Guys like you aren't relationships,|you're exercise.
- Why do you have to go? It's only six.|- I want to get something going today.
- Don't you want to stay for breakfast?|- No, I'm not hungry.
- What's wrong?|- Nothing.
I just want to get something|going today.
- You will.|- I'll see you later.
- I'll miss you.|- You don't have to say that, Jackie.
I know I don't.
I'm a dancer by nature. I studied|for four years and now I teach.
- But I'm very available for TV work.|- No.
Good day.
Acting roles... I do dramatic parts.|I can do comedy roles.
I'd consider doing a soap opera
or even a roadshow,|a musical of some sort.
I would consider|doing a print ad.
If you're looking for the outdoor type,|I'm good at some sports,
like weightlifting and stickball
and push-ups, and...
If absolutely necessary, I don't mind|doing any kind of extra work.
Except I promised my mother|I'd never do any nudity.
I guess she's afraid|that I might get a cold.
But the fact still is,|I'm a dancer by nature.
Whatever.
Yeah, whatever.
It's like you're invisible.
They make you feel|like you're wasting your time.
What's really weird is that|they all sound like my father used to.
Why be down on yourself?|You know what you can do.
- What about you?|- What about me?
You've been doing choruses|for six years.
Don't you want to do something|that's all you?
- If it happens, good. If not, too bad.|- How could you think that way?
A woman's dancing career|is half as long as a man's.
So I have half as many chances|as you of making it.
- I've got to be real with myself.|- I don't know, I guess so.
Mm... cherry.
- See you later.|- Will you come tonight?
- It's the last show.|- I don't think I can make it.
- Why the excuses?|- What excuses?
