[distant conversation] That's the first performance I saw when I came to New York.

I danced there two years ago, in their fall festival.

Oh, my God. I remember your solo.

You were amazing.

Thanks.

Is it only the three of us?

I think there's supposed to be another dancer.

Yup.

- Hi. - Hi.

I'm Katie.

I'm Theo.

Cynthia.

And you are?

Chip.

We're on the opening night of the festival...

which is a big deal.

It's about ten minutes.

It's going to be the first piece in the program.

You'll all be dancing in it.

I'm going to be dancing in it too.

Um, first off I'm going to need you all here every day.

We have the space as late as we need,

so we'll be working some evenings.

But we'll figure out the schedule as we go along.

Any questions?

Alright, let's get started.

♪

Did you hear me?

I said I have to move out at the end of the month.

What am I gonna do?

Can't you just go stay with Grandpa?

No! I can't!

You have to come home.

You have to come home and help me, Chip!

I can't. I have a job here.

I have nowhere to go.

No, I know.

I'm losing the house, baby, all our things.

I know.

I don't know what to do.

You have to come back here.

I can't.

I'll just throw all your things onto the street

if you don't come home.

I can't.

They'll all go in the garbage.

I'm serious, Chip.

- I know. - Into the trash.

Fine.

I have to go.

Bye.

[dancers chattering]

...a totally separate gesture.

Okay.

So we figure here,

and then maybe make it to this corner,

the hand just trails out.

Okay.

Let's try and sync this up. Let's do two arm swings.

One, two.

Can I have Theo for a second,

and can you just come into the space?

Yes, boss.

Can you just pass on this arm thing?

You've got a nice, bigger range of motion here.

Yeah... I got it.

♪

I used to take a plate,

and I would put the Ragu sauce on it.

I would microwave it.

You actually made this?

My husband. I beat the eggs.

- Good morning. - Hi.

Good morning.

Chip, do you want some frittata?

It's really good.

What's a frittata?

It's like an omelette.

Is there meat in it?

Eggs and dairy.

Well?

It's good.

Thanks.

How old are you?

Eighteen.

Do you have parents?

Of course.

Where do they live?

My mother lives in Kansas, and my father's in Indiana.

When did you come to New York?

In the summer...

For the Joffrey program.

They gave me a scholarship.

And that's when Anthony saw you dance?

Your parents must be so proud of you.

I should get dressed.

So it's not so much about

stepping forward for an arabesque,

as much as it's about...

You know, so that's the...

The head is headed somewhere.

For all our dance history lectures,

someone like Merce Cunningham or Eric Hawkins

who had that idea that...

If you actually just go over to the corner.

And face the back door.

CHIP!

Thank you. So, it's just that -

going, rather than, 'Chip', 'yes?'

You know, so you have here, here, and in, yeah.

So it's not...

Ahh!

Okay, breathe in, nice and deep.

And out.

Oh, ow, ow! Okay.

Is it, um, a beach?

Is it all ice caps?

It's like south pole, right?

We're not that far under!

There's like a whole other ocean down there.

[door closes]

You hungry?

Starving.

Chip.

What's your middle name?

Daniel.

Chip Daniel.

Well, it's time to go home, Chip Daniel.

Get some rest.

Goodnight, Chip.

Chip?

Hey.

Tea.

Thanks.

Careful, it's hot.

It's herbal tea, it's good for you.

I like coffee.

I used to like coffee too.

Not anymore?

My ex-boyfriend was a barista.

You spent the night here?

Just last night?

Are you gonna tell Anthony?

You should put this away. Everyone's gonna be here soon.

I'm not shy.

Did you go to military school?

Just for two years.

How come?

My mom sent me to live with my dad,

but he didn't want me.

I bet you haven't had breakfast.

I have a yogurt and an apple.

Look...

I have this man in my mouth.

What?

Thank you, Katie, for being so nice to me.

You're a really nice person.

I would like something to eat if you don't mind.

That's so weird.

How do you do that?

Do what?

Okay, stop it.

Please, get me out of here!

Please, he's gonna swallow me!

Help! Help!

Too late.

[music leaks from earbuds]

Chip.

Yeah?

- Theo. - Yes, boss?

Let's see the start of the solo.

Chip, you try it now.

Nobody wants to join me for a movie?

No, thanks.

Katie?

Another night.

I'm thinking home and a hot bath.

Walk me to the subway? On Broadway.

- Okay. - Have fun.

Goodnight.

Enjoy your bath.

I will.

You don't have to stay.

How many nights have you been sleeping here?

Since last week.

I got kicked out of my apartment.

What happened?

It wasn't really my apartment.

It was this guy's.

I had nowhere else to stay.

I have a sofa.

It's pretty comfortable.

Just for a few nights...

Only until you can figure something else out.

My boyfriend and I broke up a few months ago.

Seven years.

That's longer than my parents were together.

Do you have a cat?

No.

I'm allergic.

I don't have a cat.

I can make you dinner.

You can cook?

I can make spaghetti.

Some other night, okay?

- Ready? - Ready!

Talk normally.

Sorry.

And don't forget your sleeping bag,

I don't want to have to wash extra sheets.

I don't want the others to know.

It's just for a few nights.

I don't have a lot of room.

I don't take up a lot of room.

[clackety-clack of train in distance]

[cell phone ringing]

[ringing continues]

(Chip) Hello?

What do you want?

Do you know what time it is here?

You have to stop calling me all the time.

I can't talk to you when you're like this.

No, you're drunk.

No, you're drunk.

Yes, you are.

I'm hanging up.

Shit! I brought the wrong sweat pants.

Um, do you mind if I have some of your coffee?

Yeah.

You don't have a cold or anything?

- Completely healthy. - Thanks.

I was so afraid I was going to be late,

I didn't stop to pick one up.

Where do you live?

Battery Park.

I hate it, but... I'm married.

So we'll go from the start...

and on your own time.

I'm having trouble because you...

You've asked me to turn this way,

and I'm supposed to draw these arms together.

But by the time I'm getting here, everyone's leaving--

So this is just from when you were in this corner here.

That it's...

As long as I get from here to this left foot.

And then you'll back up.

And then I'll come in to this channel,

Good morning.

Morning.

I had a weird dream last night.

I was at the Oscars,

and Chris Meloni was sitting there.

- Who? - The guy from Law and Order.

I was sitting across the aisle from him,

and he started to choke.

And suddenly he was on the ground

and I was giving him CPR.

And the police were there.

And everybody watched while I saved his life.

Nice... You were a hero.

I guess.

Did you have a nice dream last night?

I don't dream.

Everybody dreams.

I don't.

You probably just don't remember them.

Duet.

Katie, if you come over to this side and just face her.

Gentlemen, you may want to learn this too.

Which roles?

Both of them.

Maybe a hair further back.

So you're going to step forward on your left,

and bring your head around and launch,

and just wrap in, and tuck in and go.

Good.

You're here.

And...it opens.

Ohhh, okay...

Sorry.

You come around, and you can...

But there's also something about you being there...

- Okay. - ...also pre-empting his step.

- Ah! - Let me try one more time.

Yeah, that works better. Thanks.

- Sorry. - That's okay.

That was hard, huh?

You want to stay later and work on it together?

[indistinct conversation]

You want to try that again?

From here?

What are you doing?!

Come on, you like it.

No, I don't.

You like me though, right?

No!

I don't know.

Just let me kiss you.

Stop it.

I really want to kiss you.

Ugh!!

Why are you doing this?!

Sorry.

I was just fooling around.

Can we get back to work?

I have to go.
