in Manhattan and can't be on time?

Oh, Tony, we'll be late.

Never mind. Tomorrow we'll go home by taxi.

I'm even getting my own apartment.

One commercial pays the rent for a year.

You sure?

I signed a contract already. They're fighting over me.

Come on, hurry.

Don't you even care what it is? Tell me later.

But it could be true. Look, the officer placed one leg or something.

You see me from the wig taking a bow.

The curtain comes down softly and clump.

I run into the window where you see the... Old actor, playing checkers and

smoking his long cigarette.

Typical stagehand. Then over to tighten my shoe and he's playing checkers,

smoking his long cigarette, and my choo -choo catches fire.

That? Yes.

It's in color. You know what my mother says.

You burn your choo -choo around the blister.

Bye. Bye. Bye.

I'm going to have a fit if she finds out. What'd I tell her?

In two weeks, I'll be an old hag of 18 like you.

Oh, we can talk about it later.

Aren't you ready? Come on.

Well, you're running the cover for me.

I'm not.

I'm not.

But you are.

Frank, you've been under my care for six months now.

And I know you need more extensive treatment than one weekly visit to my

Asking is that you invest a few months of your life to ensure a normal future.

You've been trying to get me up there for weeks.

You call it a rest home.

I call it a happy farm.

I know what you want.

You want to get me up there and then you'll throw away the key.

Come off it.

You know that isn't what I'm going to do or what I want.

Frank.

You're a sick man and this attitude right now proves it all the more.

Please, Frank.

Allow me.

Let me. Let me make this appointment for you.

Okay, Doc, I'll go.

Good.

Uh -uh.

I'll tell you when.

Frank, can I expect you the same time next week?

Sure.

That was a short session today, Mr.

Yeager.

We didn't have much to talk about.

Well, some days are like that.

Every day is like that.

Well, tomorrow is always brighter.

Tomorrow is always brighter.

Tomorrow is always brighter.

You mustn't be discouraged, you know, Mr. Yeager. These tests take time.

And you've been doing real well. You've been keeping all your appointments.

And you do realize that the doctor's findings also take time for proper

analysis. Rome wasn't built in a day...

Why...

Why, Mr. Yeager...

Listen to me.

You need help.

Please, Frank.

You better call the police.

get told if you don't hurt.

It's been late all day.

You know, excited.

Yeah, baby.

Me too.

Make yourself comfortable. I'll be with you in a few minutes.

Sonia, why don't you come relax with me at the movies?

Just once with your mother, darling.

Look, Mama, Mr. Selinsky of the Dutch Ballet is coming tomorrow to look us

and I'm very foggy about the third movement.

Tomorrow's such a big day for us at school, and I want to be perfect.

That's my daughter.

Always got to be perfect.

It's all right.

I'll take a rain check.

Where are you taking me tonight?

It's a surprise.

But I promise you, baby, you're not going to forget it.

Sounds exciting.

I'll be out in just a second.

I sure hope so, baby. I sure hope so.

Does it look all right?

I know several cats present company.

Please find peace.

Thank you.

You see this mask here?

I can see all my friends and all my enemies right here in this mask.

You know, I don't care if they accept me or reject me at that party.

You know what that is?

What's that?

That acid, baby.

Real white acid.

I don't need the booster wine, man.

I can feel good from any old time. I can even make it right.

As I told the sweet young lady here,

You know, I don't... I said you'll get out. Out. Right now.

Well, you can accept me or reject me, but... Hey, that was exciting.

That sure was exciting. Now, let's split the Scotland yard.

Now, bring the thing.

I thought you said I couldn't take it with me. But we have to have it to get

I've never been to a party like that before.

Well, now you've been to a party like that.

Where's Fountain from here?

Fountain? What Fountain? There's no swimming at this hour. I can't afford to

arrested. We always meet at the Fountain.

Have you been dating other producers?

No, say.

I always meet my girlfriend at the Fountain to go to ballet school.

School must be right over there.

You're right.

School is back here.

And class is just about to start.

And guess what?

This is good.

Guess what? I am the teacher.

So, come on in.

I said come on in.

I've heard of all kinds of happenings in the park, but this is... Ridiculous.

Drive on, buster.

Oh, I mean, see more?

Drive.

And no funny business, or I'll blow your wig right off.

Just drive around the park

while I teach this young lady.

Some new ballet steps?

you're better over?

What's the matter?

I'm not going to hurt you.

I'm not even going to...

Watch this.

It don't even burn.

Look.

Don't even burn.

No feeling.

Anyone ever tell you you got legs like citrus?

Remember that picture?

Remember that picture she played?

She wore them long black tights.

I don't see very many movies.

Dig long like it dances.

That day is my dream.

Now we're going to tap this.

What about?

One, two, and one, and...

It shows the extension of the thigh.

Chest up. Chest up. Breathe deeply.

Down.

Down. High.

Very slow.

Back in position.

None of the muscles are up.

And now head up to the foot. Extend it as high as possible.

And then close.

And up in position.

And extend the foot backwards.

Move forward, move forward. Breathe out here.

And now bend your knees and run away.

And balance.

Two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Up, two, three, four.

Down.

Technically hideous, but one watches her anyway.

An extraordinary quality she has.

Yes, Mr. Selinsky.

I'm lucky I wasn't killed.

I'm seeing a doctor and a lawyer, and I think I can collect the money.

But how did it happen?

It was a man who forced himself on me.

Oh, no.

Yes.

Tony.

At least it was honest. Do you know what I mean?

No, I don't. I mean he was a real creep, a real beast.

I have more respect for him than I have for Seymour.

Who is Seymour?

He's the one who got me the job.

He's a pseudo.

He tries to be a beast, but he can't make it.

Tony, don't talk like that.

Why lie about it?

He's all man.

You know what I mean?

I won't forget him in a hurry. I don't want to hear any more about it.

I'll lie to other people, not to you.

I appreciate that, I think.

But shouldn't you call the police or something? something. What are they

to do? I'd have to tell them where I was and who I was with.

See, he was a married man. If I get him into trouble, I'll lose the commercial.

I want that thousand bucks.

You'd better do something about those bruises.

I had a bruise once and my mother put something on it.

Lemon juice, I think.

Well, I'll rub mine with hundred dollar bills.

You know, Mr.

Selinsky's waiting to talk to us.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could go to Amsterdam and work there together?

What's that old creep want with me?

Tony, don't talk like that. He might hear you.

How much do they pay?

Oh, what does it matter?

They pay all expenses and... Oh, it's such a great opportunity.

I guess Houston was just wondering how to talk to him.

Well, I'll go see what he wants.

It doesn't scare me.

Come on you girls, button me up.

I'll say.

I wish there were air conditioning here.

Wow.

Did you enjoy the class today?

Shut the fucking door.

May an older man ask an impertinent question?

I'm used to it. Go ahead.

Madam Terranova tells me you're only 17.

I'll be 18 in a matter of days.

In the meantime, you'll want to discuss this with your parents.

Or I could talk to them if you prefer.

No, my parents are out of the picture.

I run my own life.

I see. Well, in that case, I will come to the point.

I am here looking for a young American soloist.

to be a guest with our company for two weeks.

Naturally, all travel expenses will be paid.

Of course, I cannot pay American salaries, but I think you will find our

very interesting.

And we'll give you an opportunity to dance Firebird.

Fire?

Where would you want me? That is a great urgency.

Our leading soloist has been rehearsing for weeks.

Now, all of a sudden, we discover she's about to become a mother.

We would like you to be able to leave on Thursday.

It's a matter of 48 hours.

I know it's not much time. I'm sorry, but it's out of the question. I just

signed a contract to do a film.

Fairly. Very interesting. I congratulate the movies.

Yes, this film is very important to me.

I understand.

Will you excuse us, please?

Will that be all?

Then if you'll excuse me, I'll go tell Miss Fedorova.

I hope you can use her.

She's a lovely dancer and she works very hard and she deserves a chance, don't

you think?

Yes.

because they're in a hole.

That's for the moon. And good luck. I gotta run.

Damn you, Seymour.

Anybody ever tell you you've got legs like centuries?

I did, long -legged dancers.

That there is no dream.

Yes? Yes, who is this?

This here is the manager of Radio City Musical.

Well, of course everyone knows about Radio City.

Did anybody at the studio know the names like Sid Charisse?

I don't think so, but I think Sid Charisse is a marvelous dancer.

I admire her very much.

Remember that picture where she wore that long black stockings?

I think so.

Sure you do.

I dig long -legged dances, like you and her.

I'm sorry, sir. I don't believe I got your name correctly.

How do you spell it?

Never mind that.

I just want to hold them legs of yours.

I need your help. I'll whistle.

Well, we could bring it over. You see, everyone's wearing bags this year. I'm

not everyone. You're indifferent.

Little bag never hurt anyone.

Hello,

Seymour. You'll have to get another girl.

Her mother was... that's thrown her into a cement mixer or something.

That's right. She's black and blue all over.

Who has the account for Band -Aid? She'd be perfect for that.

No, stay out of it. I'll handle it. Don't worry about it.

You faggot rat. You tell Mr. Seymour Stanley.

Nobody but nobody's doing this commercial but me, baby.

You hear me?

I've a contract right here in my bag.

And if Mr. Seymour Stanley tries anything funny, I'll call his wife.

It's covered with band -aid.

Tony. Poor thing, what happened?

I'm going to sue all of them.

Especially Mr. Seymour Stanley.

Pseudo -creep of all time.

I turned down a job in Amsterdam.

Told him I had this film.

Now the director of photography refuses to work with me.

He says he can't hide the bruises.

How did I get the bruises?

Let Mr. Seymour Stanley explain that.

How much is a lawyer?

You burn your couture, you sit on the blister.

I was only kidding, Tony.

Have you seen a doctor?

It's too late now.

We're late.

We really have to get going.

When are you leaving for Amsterdam?

At midnight tonight.

I'm rehearsing with Eddie right up until the last minute.

Oh, I want to be perfect.

I wish you were coming, too.

Do you?

I don't know what I was.

Don't. Don't. Don't do that.

Okay,

so you're on your shoulders, right?

Yes, sir.

That's it.

Look straight ahead.

Dancers are not supposed to stand idle.

Come on. Come on, dance with me.

I'm only going to move down here to the front row.

The only public you've got.

Now come on.

Dance all around.

Like in the movie.

Like I told you.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You don't.

But you do.

I don't.

I don't.

What did you say you did?

And why didn't you tell me you did?

Why didn't you tell me you were the manager of Radio City?

You got me all wrong.

I ain't only the manager of the place.

I'm an artistic director.

So now, come on.

Come on.

Dance all around.

There's no way to leave this place.

How ready are you?

I'm in 30 seconds.

You're ready.

You ready to leave?

You're ready for it?

I'd rather like to blow your brains out.

Now get over here and dance for me.

Come on.

Move. Dance around.

Oh, yeah, that's better.

Oh, I like it. Come on, move.

Oh, yeah, pretty boy. Oh, beautiful lady.

Oh, nice.

Oh, yeah.

Come on.

Dance with me.

Thank you.

Thank you, everyone.

Please, let me go.

I won't tell anyone anything.

I won't even tell my mother.

She's waiting for me to come home, and I have to catch a midnight plane for

Amsterdam.

If I don't come home, she'll call the police, and they'll come here.

Please let me go, and I'll do everything you say.

You're catching the plane to Amsterdam?

No way, but really?

Again?

So what about him?

We have to catch a midnight flight for Amsterdam, and we have to be at the

terminal by 10.

Please, let me go, and I'll do anything you say.

stories like that there now, do you?

Do you remember what I told you on the telephone?

Mr. Seymour Stanley, please.

I don't believe this is any answering service.

If you're his wife trying to cover up for that creep, I feel sorry for you.

You tell him Tony called.

And if he doesn't talk to me, he'll feel sorry.

I'll come down there and tear that place up.

I said tear it up.

Tear it up, understand?

Matthew speaks to Sonia.

She's not there.

Well, she'll miss her plane.

I'm holding her passport. She'll never make it.

Well, if you hear anything, call me.

Flight number 7098 is now boarding at gate number 22.

All passengers for international flights should be on board.

Reservations, please.

Yes, overseas.

You are holding a ticket and a reservation of flight 451 tonight at

Amsterdam.

The name is Fedorova.

Yes, Sonia Fedorova.

Yes, I know I was supposed to pick up the ticket earlier, but I ran into a

slight delay.

How much time do I have?

Oh, what's the absolute latest I can pick it up?

Oh, well, I can be there in five minutes.

Three minutes.

Oh, baby.

Mama,

be careful. Don't go to the door.

It's only Eddie, my baby.

I don't want to see him. I don't want to see anyone.

Did you ever see such flowers?

Look in the card.

It says Madame Fedorova.

I'll move it for you.

Who would send me flowers?

That's all.

Your loss is our loss.

My Mr. Szymanski.

You said you wouldn't tell anyone.

You promised.

I haven't spoken to a soul.

It's a mistake.

The poor man probably still has trouble with his English.

Meanwhile, let's enjoy the mistake.

on her way to Amsterdam, Holland to make her debut in the Dutch ballet was

among the passengers reported as killed on the ill -fated jet.

Last night happened.

Neither do I.

Oh, Stone, do you have your driver's license on you?

I lost the commercial.
