Staying Alive Page #5

Nice meeting you.

Two, two, three, four,|five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,|five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,|five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,|five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four.

That's it. Relax!

We have a conceptual interpretation|problem, which is easy to overcome

if you forget that you're dancers|working for a couple of bucks.

You're translators of body language.|That's all dancing is: Body language.

So don't waste my time|going through the motions of emotions.

You got to feel|what the hell you're doing.

The show's called "Satan's Alley".

It's a journey through hell.|It ends with an ascent to heaven.

It's simple, but if it's going to work,|you've got to bust your asses!

- I didn't say anything.|- But I... Shoot me. Shoot me twice.

- It's all right, really.|- I got hung up. What can I say?

You don't have to say anything.

When you say that,|I know you want me to say something.

- OK, what do you want to talk about?|- I don't know. What about you?

It's the lovers, the young lovers.

- I've got to get going.|- I'll give you a call later, all right?

I'll call you later.

If you're really her friend,|do her a favour.

- What?|- Teach her to dance.

There's nothing wrong|with her dancing.

I really like her, too.|But she's ordinary.

- But you're very good.|- Where are you coming from?

- Is something wrong?|- I don't like being led on.

- Who's leading you on?|- I call you up, you're not home!

Then I wait all night for you and|you bring some guy home with you.

- Are you talking to me?|- Did what we did mean nothing?

- It was nice.|- Nice, everyday! Like breakfast?

I usually skip breakfast.|Look, I'll see you later.

- I'm talking to you!|- I said later.

- Come here!|- Take your bloody hands off me!

Do you think I'm some little groupie?

We met, I liked you, we made it.|What do you think it was? True love?

You think I used you!|What about you using me?

Everybody uses everybody, don't they?

Hold it, hold it!

- What's this?|- I thought we decided to go downstage.

True, but then I changed it|to the upstage position.

It was better going downstage.

- Was it?|- Much better.

I'll tell you what's even better: You|learn the routine the way I laid it out!

- Again.|- And... five, six, seven, eight.

- What if I come over about nine?|- How do I know you'll show?

- Come on!|- Are you sure you'll be there?

- Definitely. We'll go out.|- What, Christmas carolling?

How did you know?

All right! I'll see you later.

- No talking to strangers.|- Nobody's stranger than you are.

See you.

Tony. I'm having|a few friends around tonight.

A pre-Christmas party.|Like to come?
