Original subtitles

Why are you dancing in front of the TV?

You know the show, Showgirls?

Do I know it?

It's one of my all -time favorite films.

Oh. Well, now my college, they're trying to play on it, and I want to get the

main role, but I'm trying to practice.

Okay.

You know, I may be your step -grandfather, but you do remember I was

director. I'm retired now, but if you like, I could

give you a few pointers.

Well, that would really help because you're my step -grandfather, but I

want to have all your dreams for theater and all of that.

Okay, well, I can help you. Perfect.

You are way too...

One of the things you've got to do is relax.

And you've got to be like the character. See, this character is very confident

in everything that she does.

Okay. Okay?

I've got an idea.

How about we recreate a scene out of the movie? And that way

I can see how well you do and if there's any pointers that I can

give you.

What do you think about that?

Yeah, I guess so. It doesn't help me, I guess.

Well, there's this one scene where she was confronted with an opportunity, and

she had to make a decision on what she would do to

better her chances in the role that she's looking for.

Maybe you can recreate that for her.

Well, it's not going to be weird.

No, no, no. It's just acting. We're playing a part. You just do what you

do.

Okay. I guess if I can help.

Just feel the part.

Just get into it.

You're still just a little tense. You need to relax. Just kind of let yourself

go. Just be the character.

Want it.

Okay.

And every once in a while you have to look up to see if you got the approval

him.

Is that okay, Abuelo?

No, no, no, you're doing good. You're doing very good. But, I mean, you

really want the part, so you really, really have to put a lot into it.

You got it. You have to sell that you want this that you're better than all

others. Okay

And any time you want to throw a little something in there, you know, oh,

how big you are and all like that, you know, just kind of... Oh, okay.

Yeah. You'd be a little verbal, too.

Oh, you're so big.

Yes, yes.

The audience loves hearing stuff like that.

You're pretty good at this.

I'm just going to...

There you go.

I'm just setting the stage here.

Okay. Okay?

Yeah.

Because she would do the same thing.

And here's where he would probably say something like, you're pretty good at

that. Oh, you or?

No, the other performer would say, being in character, that you're pretty good

at that.

Oh, okay. And then you would reply.

Oh, thank you.

You too.

Since I know the character a little bit he's kind of he's a little more handsy

so probably be doing

kind of looking and touching you and

you don't mind right

Nice little ad -lib right there, just doing the tongue on the tip.

And this time, do it and stare up at him.

Yeah.

Yeah,

these are all little tips that you need.

Are you feeling it?

Are you feeling the character right now? Yeah, I think I'm feeling it.

Okay. Yes.

Thank you, Grandpa.

Oh, no problem. Well, we're not quite done yet. You have to bring it to a

now.

Every scene has to have that moment.

We're going to build it up to that climax.

We're just going to... Struggle

in your mouth. Struggle in your mouth.

Struggle, struggle, struggle.

Right there.

This is where you look up at him and say, how'd I do?

You did real well, but I have a few more

girls that I have to interview.

I'm going to get some Italian.

Would you like a casserole?

Can you come in, Grandpa?

Okay.

Wait. Did you get the part?

Did you?

Well, there is another girl in the waiting list for that.

That's good.

Yeah, but...

I mean, I did my best, but I didn't sew her, so I'm not sure how she did.

But I'm pretty confident about it.

Being confident, that's good.

So tell me a little bit about the character.

Well, it was a really dramatic thing.

I did my best. It was dramatic and with a lot of feelings in it.

I even cried, but I don't know.

Crying's good.

Crying's one of the hardest things to do as an actor. So that's good.

Okay.

Is there anything I can do to help you? Do you want to work on some lines or

something like that?

Well, I'm thinking that it's going to be really weird because it was a boyfriend

and girlfriend scene, so that's going to be weird.

Okay, listen. It's all acting, okay?

So, look.

I will...

Here, stand up. Here we go.

I will be that boyfriend, okay? And you're going to tell me your

side of the story and all like that, and I will listen.

Okay, but I don't think I'm going to be able to cry right now.

You don't have to cry right now. Just build it up.

Okay.

I'm listening.

Okay.

Oh, please, please don't leave me. I don't know what I'm going to be without

you.

Okay, that was pretty good.

Okay. Okay?

Maybe just draw it out just a little bit, and you're kind of in there, and

just kind of look up at them, and just quiver the lips just a little bit, like

you're trying to hold something back. That way you don't have to really cry,

you just kind of sense it. It's, you know, you're going to improvise it,

Okay. Okay, so let's start again. And I am listening.

Oh, please, please, don't leave me. I don't know where I'm going to be without

you.

Better. Okay.

I got it. It's pretty good.

All right. One of the things that you should do, hon, is get a look at them.

Look. Eyes to them.

The eyes tell everything.

Okay? So do it one more time. When you go, please, please, please, don't leave

me. Look them right in the eye. Okay?

And...

I'm listening.

Oh, please.

Please, please, please. Don't leave me. I don't know what I'm going to be

without you.

That's really good, sweetheart.

Okay.

Here, let me... This is what I tell all the girls in the past. I said, once you

get past the climax, everything after that is just nothing but razzle -dazzle.

Okay? Okay.

See, you're just going to build it right up and then it's easy after that.

Okay. So yeah, let me help you out a little bit and let's, let's see how it

goes. Okay.

So the first thing I'd like for you to do is, and then

we just take it from there.

Okay.

the make -up sex or the break -up sex.

You want to keep me?

You got to show me.

Okay. Okay? Mm -hmm.

Remember, this is acting.

Yeah.

But it doesn't have to really be acting.

You could really enjoy it.

Okay.

I'm not going over your thirst.

You can do everything and anything to keep him from leaving.

You're comfortable.

That's it, always stay connected.

mm -hmm

This is the point where it says...

This is all in the awkward part of taking clothes off.

Thank you.

The creeper has a little...

Should we dance a little dance off?

There we go.

And, uh, I didn't mean to do that inside you, but, I mean, it's

just for the art.

Okay? Okay.

You'll be fine?

Mm -hmm. Well, it's just, it's running all over the place.

Oh, okay.

All right. You got it, girl.

Confidence.
