The Company Page #5

Thinking the movement is not

becoming the movement.

Listen up company.

Hello? Is this on?

Have a great lay-off. It was a

wonderful show tonight.

And don't forget, practice

safe sex. Safe sex, babies.

And remember, fish, broccoli,

salad. No more chili con carne.

Have a great break.

Your grandmother got this when

she was 10 years old.

She wanted so much to be

a ballerina.

It breaks my heart she's not here,

she'd be so proud of you.

I want you to talk to Mr. A.

To make good his promise.

And say, Hey Mr. A let's make

good on your word...

about the ballet you'll create for me.

I know you wouldn't do it that way.

You know, totally vulgar.

But still...

Remember that evening at that

wonderful party? He dazzled us...

with his promise of building

a ballet for you...

- Where is he? Do you have any wine?

- In the fridge.

The fridge? I don't really feel

like white wine.

I love it that you have red wine

in the fridge just like your mother.

Now look, let's get down here

to brass tacks. Loretta?

- Mom?

- Darling, it's time.

I went to see Aunt Vynette today

in the hospital.

- How is she?

- She's sad, diminished.

I'm here to tell you...

I love your wig.

Life is short.

And it's time for you now.

You've been featured...

you've been acknowledged.

Your colleagues are wonderful...

- Mom, I'm going to be late.

- Those shoes are dangerous.

- No they're not. They're fine.

- You could break your neck.

- They're fine, Mom.

- Honestly. You have to go.

- This is yummy.

- Good. Coat.

I'm going back to the hospital.

This suit cheered her up.

- Give her my love.

- I'll give it, and I love you.

- You don't need this.

- I push you because you're modest.

- Your demur quality is enchanting.

- Let's get going.

You look very sexy right now.

I'm worried about you.

- It's fine.

- Talk to Mr. A.

Bring out his appeal to his

Svengali instincts.

Hey Dwayne.

I'm in trouble huh?

Can I get a Jack and Coke

and a screwdriver?

- I thought I'd pluck up the guts.

- So you did it?

- Yeah.

- I'll be back.

I did it. I got the balls up

and I did it.

- Do you have a condom?

- No.

Sorry to wake you. Do you have

an extra condom?

- What?

- Do you have an extra rubber?

Yeah.

Just one is fine. Thanks.

Don't worry about leaving.

- Just stay as long as you want.

- Yeah. Thanks.

Now I'm not going to stand here

and go on about our next recipient.

There simply aren't

enough words.

But suffice it to say,

that his work stands for itself...

and has been a source of

inspiration to Italian Americans.

So please join me in

welcoming...

the Artistic Director of the

Joffrey Ballet of Chicago...

Mr. Alberto Antonelli.

Thank you.
