Staying Alive Page #6

Synopsis: In this sequel to Saturday Night Fever, former disco king Tony Manero has left Brooklyn and lives in Manhattan. He stays in a cheap hotel and works as a dance instructor and as a waiter at a dance club, trying to succeed as a professional dancer on Broadway. The breakaway from his Brooklyn life, family and friends seems to have matured Tony and refined his personality, represented by his diminished accent and his avoidance of alcohol and profanity. However, certain attitudes have not changed, as with his most recent girlfriend, who's also the singer of a local rock band.

Didn't we just have a fight?

We didn't have a fight, Tony,|you did.

I hope that's all resolved|and I'd like to see you.

- What time?|- Oh, ten-ish.

- I don't know.|- Consider yourself officially invited.

- Whose limo is this?|- I'll see you about ten.

Bye.

Whose limo is this?

Anybody know whose limo this is?

You know, I don't care|if I ever get a message.

- Where to?|- Laura Revell's place, where else?

Are you expected?

To do what?

I was wondering where you were.|You look nice.

- You do, too.|- Thank you.

What would you like to drink?|We have champagne, wine, whisky...

- I don't believe this.|- What?

- Now you're with the director.|- I'm not with anybody.

- Haven't you learnt anything?|- What do you mean? Are we in school?

Why don't we go out|on the balcony?

There's an awfully nice view|of New York. Come on.

If you want to leave, that's|your choice. Maybe you had better go.

- What's your problem?|- What?

Do you think|you can play with people?

Do you? Oh, look, Tony.

I'm not playing with anyone. I invited|you because I think you're interesting.

Most people here are interesting.

- Why be upset? There are pretty girls.|- I came to be with you!

And I'm expecting someone else.

Why did we even start this thing up,|huh?

Start?|Look, you came to me, remember?

- You did nothing? It was just me.|- Whatever.

Anyway, I'm freezing out here.

If nothing else, you'll have|an interesting chapter for your diary.

You know the way out.

Merry Christmas.

I can"t take all the blame now, can I?

It takes more than one|to lose such a fine line

That lies between|but holds together

Hearts in the night

Touch at a time

And l"m finding out the hard way

lt"s going to take some tears

A little bit of heartache

We"re like islands in the stream

Watching all our dreams start to fade

Fading away

A moment gone is gone forever

lt"s like water through your hands

And you spin the wheel of misfortune

Watching it turn

You live and you learn

I keep reaching out

And come up empty-handed

When did I let you down?

Or did I leave you stranded?

And l"m finding out the hard way

lt"s going to take some tears

A little bit of heartache

And we"re like islands in the stream

Watching all our dreams start to fade

Fading away

Start to fade

Fading away

Start to fade

Fading away

Fade away

- Jackie, I'm sorry.|- I don't want to see you tonight.

I just forgot to call you.|I'm really sorry.

I know, but you can't|treat me like this any more.

- I won't.|- I can't always be second choice.

- You're not.|- I am, and you know I am.

I promise it'll never happen again.

Yes, it will.|It will if I let it.

Do you know how many times|you've done this to me?
