Step Up 2 The Streets Page #5

Synopsis: Following the death of her parents, teen-aged Andie West is living with her mother's best friend, Sarah. Andie, who doesn't care about school, is trying to figure out where she fits in in life. The only thing she loves is dancing with her street crew, the 410, led by Tuck. The 410 are the most notorious of the street crews in Baltimore and are wanted by the police for their acts of vandalism and public mischief. Sarah threatens to send Andie to live with relatives in Texas unless she cleans up her act, which includes ending her association with the 410 and trying harder at school. Andie's neighborhood friend, Tyler Gage, convinces Andie to audition for entry into the Maryland School of the Arts (MSA), an institution which ended up turning his life around for the better. Andie passes the audition but isn't sure she fits in there. The school's director, Blake Collins, isn't sure she fits in there either. Blake is a brilliant dancer but looks for conformity to his way.

to move MSA into a new

state-of-the-art facility.

Well, to encourage the donors,

we're throwing a fundraiser,

where you will perform

to demonstrate what

a good investment you are.

It should be a wonderful event.

You are all required to participate

in one way or another.

So, let's begin with some improv,

shall we?

Jimmy, you're up.

You're late. Not being on time

won't fly in the real world.

Already with that stuff, Blake?

- That's Director Collins.

- Yes, Your Majesty.

Chase, show us what you got.

Not great. Could do better.

OK. Andie, you're up.

Are you serious?

Listen and interpret.

Andie. Andie!

You're all over the place.

Again, from the top,

listen and interpret.

Stop. Stop! Can I have

a word with you in private?

And bring your bags.

You understand you've been

given an opportunity

You understand you've been

given an opportunity

that others couldn't even dream of?

I put my name on the line for you,

and I'm beginning to wonder

if I made a mistake.

You clearly have

some catching up to do.

Starting tomorrow I'm assigning you to

attend after school sessions with me.

Well, I can't. I gotta be somewhere.

Consider this an opportunity.

What?

Made a mistake

and kissed a snake

How many doctors did it take?

One, two, three, four

five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten

Just breathe.

First day's always the worst.

- I was just...

- That's OK.

I come out to the front steps

and meditate, too.

What? It's not meditating.

It's just, you know,

you had some pretty

serious balls today in class.

- I was impressed.

- Oh, gee, thanks.

- You're welcome.

- So what's your deal?

Boy bands making a comeback?

Yeah. They have a course on it here.

I'm getting straight A's.

That wouldn't surprise me.

Look, it's been interesting

bonding with you, but I'm late.

- Late for what?

- Just this rehearsal thing.

- Rehearsal for what?

- Rehearsal with some friends.

- Like a crew?

- What would you know about that?

Knew it. Saw you at the Dragon.

You're with Four-one-oh.

- I don't know what...

- I've always wanted to compete,

I've just never had an in.

Can you hook me up?

Hey, Chase, we're working

on the routine for the fundraiser.

Are you coming?

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Sophie, I'll meet you in the rehearsal.

OK.

Look.

The Streets is about where you're from.

It's not some school talent show.

There's no spring floors.

There's no spotlights.

You use what you got and...

What makes you think you got it?

Weren't you late for something, Andie?

All dressed in yella

Went upstairs to kiss a fella

One, two, three, four

five, six, seven, eight,

- Bye, Andie West.

- nine, ten, 11, 12,

...five, six, seven, eight.
