Mu, what are we gonna do?

Downsize, Molly. | Purify.

Streamline, | find your center.

You're right, Ing.

We're gonna get you the best | housewarming present ever.

Don't be silly.

It's gonna be hard enough on you | coming up with half the rent.

Wonderful, girls.

Tomorrow we start rehearsing | for next month's recital,

but I think we still have | five minutes.

How about a little freestyle?

You sure looked great | out there.

I just, you know...

Yelling at you | the other day and all...

I'm sorry.

What are you doing here?

I called Roma, your mom...

...and she said that if you said | that it was okay,

I could have my job back?

You're on probation.

Act your age, | not your shoe size.

How come you left | dance class so early?

That freestyle at the end | looked like so much fun.

Freestyle is for moronic little kids | and hippie freaks.

It's fun.

Fundamentals | are the building blocks of fun.

Says who?

Mikhail Baryshnikov, | who I'm sure you've never heard of.

Ballet is about precision, | discipline, and poise.

They made us take ballet | at Darlington.

I couldn't wait to get out there | and make up all my own moves.

Figures. | Such a sloppy doofus.

Figures. You're such | a pill-popping little tyrant.

Don't ever do that | to me again.

You're hurting me. | - You hurt me.

Take it back.

Take it back.

Fine.

I take it back.

It's a good thing you did.

Otherwise you wouldn't | have gotten your surprise.

Surprise.

I really hate surprises, | and I sincerely doubt

there's anything you could give me | that I don't already have.

There's no harm | in trying, is there?

Ray, are you all right?

My glands are swollen. | I'm having an allergic reaction.

My immune system | is crashing.

Mu stayed with you | one measly little night.

Come on.

And that's all | he's gonna be staying.

Wasn't it fun, though, | sneaking him in and out for his walk?

It was like a real, live adventure. | You know you had fun.

I'm not a swineherd, kook.

Excuse me. | How much is this putter?

This putter is not for sale. | Sorry. This is a mistake.

You don't golf. | - Tiger gave this to me.

Essentials, remember? | You've got to get rid of this junk.

It's essential.

Twenty dollars. | - Ten.

Sold.

Can I talk to you for a second? | Come through here.

Do me a favor, all right? | Watch your step.

This is Kelli. | Kelli, this is Molly.

Pleasure to meet you.

Looks almost as good on her | as it does on you, doesn't it?

Gooey! Looks like Mu isn't | the only pig you hang out with.

Go away!

It must be really hard | getting rid of all this neat stuff.

No, I'm actually loving it.

Really? | - It's very refreshing.

Everybody, once in their life, | should do this
