Original subtitles

Use your full extension and push through the floor.

See who finally showed up.

Paige, go to the corner and stretch, please.

I'm fine.

I'm sure you are. Now go!

Chin up and keep the line strong.

Somebody's definitely in trouble.

If you're late all the time...

Have I missed something, ladies?

Annabel, move to the other side of the barre.

OK everyone, let's move to center.

Is something wrong?

I was wondering if you could make this look any more difficult.

Don't bite your lip.

Paige, you are a performer.

Everyone should think that this is easy.

Again.

Ohh.

Lynda, open up.

I know you're here, your car's outside.

This is ridiculous,

just open the door.

Dad?

Hey buddy, can you open the door?

I'm sorry, Dad, Mom says I can't open it.

Come on, Alex!

It's fine, Alex.

Lynda, it's so like you.

You told my lawyer you didn't receive the paperwork.

I'm just going to leave it under the door.

Please go through it and call me.

He didn't even say bye.

It's OK, honey, he's just upset... with me.

What's that?

Just paperwork.

Didn't you say you had something to show me?

Yes!

We need to use a computer.

Follow me.

Révérence!

-Good job everyone!

Paige, we'll start in five.

Nice.

I've been worried about you.

Glenn, I'm sorry I was late.

How are things at home?

Shall we start? Someone has that San Francisco audition soon.

Excellent work tonight.

I think you're about ready.

Let's go home.

That class felt so long.

How many pliés did we do, like, a hundred?

I know. We did so many.

My legs are killing me.

Yeah, mine too.

How was your private, Paige?

Fine, I guess.

Could've been better.

Paige, you're never happy.

Come on guys, our ride's here.

-Mmm. -Is Paige in there?

Yeah, she's inside.

Good. See you girls tomorrow.

One second.

Come in.

What's wrong with your foot?

Nothing.

It's not a big deal.

You don't have to kill yourself, Paige.

I'm just trying so hard, and ballet is the only thing

I want to do.

You don't understand.

I do understand.

It's getting late, you'd better go.

I'll see you tomorrow.

It's almost midnight.

Mom, please don't start this.

It's only eleven.

Come here.

Sit.

I called you.

My phone was dead.

The calls went through.

Well, then, I didn't hear it. Sorry.

We need to talk about your recent test scores.

Is there a problem?

Yeah, Alex showed me you're not doing well in math.

I got two B's.

So what?

Well, I signed you up with a math tutor after school.

You what?

-I signed you up-- -I heard that.

Mom, my grades are fine.

I don't need a tutor.

Alex has C's.

Does he need a tutor?

You know well enough he's a smart boy.

He does not need a tutor.

And we can't afford to pay for both ballet class and a tutor.

I have two important auditions coming up.

I can't afford to take any time off.

Well, improve your grades, and then we can talk about all your auditions.

But right now,

you need to focus

on getting into college.

Like I'm even going.

I heard that, young lady,

and to tell you the truth,

I am sick of all of this.

All you do is dance.

You don't go and experience life.

There's so much more to it,

and you don't even know--

Like what?

What would you prefer me to do?

Go out, party, get drunk and high with my friends?

Well, I don't have to worry about that.

You spend so much time dancing,

you don't have any friends

to get high or drunk with.

What is your problem with me dancing?

I'm so much better now,

but I don't even remember

the last time you bothered to even come and watch me.

My point is,

maybe, just maybe,

this will be good for you.

To take a break from dancing, go to college--

Maybe you could just respect what Iwant to do.

Or...

maybe you need to look in a mirror.

And finally see--

Yeah, you got a degree,

but it didn't stop Dad from leaving you.

We are done here.

Good morning.

Do you want to say anything?

Good morning.

Good morning, Paige!

You little brat.

Sold me out to Mom so she'd forget about your bad grades.

Sorry!

OK.

You have your first meeting with your tutor today after school.

Please don't be late.

Did you really have to schedule it so it conflicts

with my ballet classes?

Well, we haven't paid

for this month's ballet classes,

so your schedule cleared up.

Hey! Where are you going?

What about breakfast?

I lost my appetite.

Mom, I didn't lose myappetite!

Sure, honey.

Great.

Listen, I just dropped Alex off

from school and I'm going to an interview.

I don't have time to discuss our issues right now.

Lynda, there's nothing to discuss.

I need you to sign the papers.

Derek! I am running late for an interview.

I am taking care of two kids. I want to talk,

so let's just schedule a time when we can go over all of it, OK?

So Lynda, we're looking for someone

who just graduated university,

for an entry level position.

You don't have enough experience

for our higher positions.

But I was told you help women like me who are struggling--

Honey listen, I know you think this is the worst that it can get,

but we just hired two disabled ladies.

So you're saying you can't help me

because I'm not disabled?

Even though I'm about to be left on my own with two kids?

I wish you had more experience,

because you have a relevant degree.

But I can't help you right now.

You can come back later.

I just really need this right now.

-Dylan? -Paige?

Sorry I'm late.

So, you're my tutor?

Yes, I am.

Great.

I just want to know what your weak areas are.

I don't have any.

It's math, and I'm pretty good at it.

OK, but your mom told me--

I don't want to hear it.

Two B's are not a big deal.

Are you running late for something?

My first audition is in a week,

and I'm stuck here with you.

Some people would kill for this opportunity.

It's almost five.

Our time's up.

I'll see you on Thursday, don't be late.

Can't wait.

I think I saw her at school, but I'm not sure.

Yeah, I wasn't sure either. I thought--

Come on, it was obviously Paige.

I tried to talk to her, but she was so fast.

I hope she didn't just decide not to dance.

-Wait, what if she-- -OK, all of you,

just quit it.

If you see her, let her know that I need to talk to her.

Damn it.

-Paige?

You stayed at school for so long.

I had some stuff to do, Alex.

Oh, Paige, um...

I just got off with the phone with, ahh...

what's his name? Uh, Dylan.

What does he need?

Well, he said you made a lot of progress today.

Oh...

I guess we did.

He sounds very, very nice.

Oh, also, he mentioned the Grand Canyon trip?

I don't know why you'venever mentioned it.

What?

The Grand Canyon? I signed you up.

Oh. So now you get to decide where I go...

and when. Great!

Hey!

Dinner's in thirty minutes.

You made her mad again.

That's enough from the peanut gallery over here.

All right?

-Where are you?

What?

We're in the same year.

-Lynda Johnson? -Yes.

-Hi. -Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you, too. -Oh--

Nope, that's not for me.

I just get you there. Follow me.

So, how's your day going so far?

Oh, good. Thank you. How's yours?

-Pretty good. Thanks.

Good luck.

Well, hi.

If I didn't know you guys, I'd think you were stalking me.

Oh, you know.

It looks like you're hiding from us.

Well, there's nowhere to run now.

Ha ha. Very funny, Paige. Glenn wants to talk to you.

Just tell him I quit.

Come on, you can't be serious.

We don't have time for this, Paige.

Whatever it is, it can't be that bad.

Just show up for practice.

I have a math tutor.

That's hilarious. Did you fail or something?

I got two B's.

But to my mom, that's basically failing.

Your mom's always been intense.

Do you remember when you were younger and your mom

was crazy about competitions?

It was so long ago, I almost forgot.

Well, I didn't.

Shoot, Leah, we're super late.

It's all yourfault.

Just come to the academy afterschool.

You should really talk to Glenn.

Hi.

I'm, uh, I'm Lynda Johnson.

Harry. Nice to meet you. Please have a seat.

So what kind of position are you looking for?

Oh, any entry level position is fine.

What job experience do you have in this field?

Well, I graduated from the University of Arizona.

I got a degree in economics,

I did a couple of internships

during college, and...

then I took care of my kids for 17 years.

But what job experience do you have?

Uh, well, like I said,

I had three internships during school,

and being a stay-at-home mom

requires its own kind of...

supply and demand economics.

Hmm.

What I meant was, why did you decide to change fields?

I just...

I really need the money right now.

So you're looking for something temporary?

Oh, no. That's not what I meant.

I'm absolutely serious about this.

Do you know how to use Excel?

Yeah, of course.

Great.

We will let you know our decision by the end of next week.

-OK. -Thank you.

Thank you.

Asshole.

What kind of experience do youhave in the field?

You're late. Again.

Don't tell me that's your dinner.

It's not my favorite.

You don't have to eat it if you don't like it.

I was wondering...

could we change the time of our sessions?

Sounds like someone's asking for a favor.

No, you told my mom about our trip

to the Grand Canyon, and this is just payback.

Come on! It's gonna be a lot of fun.

Seriously, I really need to

train for this audition.

Can we change the time until after classes?

I usually rehearse right after class.

-Music. I play music. -Are you serious?

I'm auditioning for the San Francisco Ballet Theater,

and you can't change your time because of... music stuff?

You see, anyone can be a ballerina.

No training, no classes needed.

It's hard to deny, you have some pretty impressive moves.

I can teach you.

Oh yeah?

All right. Fine, we can meet right after class.

Thank you.

I think we should get going.

I have some cool equations you can solve.

I know you can't solve it without me.

Maybe.

Well, surprise.

Look who finally showed up.

I thought someone stole you.

Hey. Are you all right?

My mom's not gonna pay for classes anymore.

I just wanted to let you know.

What happened between the two of you?

She has different ideas about how I should spend my free time.

I think you were 11 when you joined our school.

I think so.

I'll tell you what we can do.

You can come for class and rehearsal for free

until your San Francisco audition.

Really?

Thank you so much.

-Should I get it?

Oh-- No, honey.

Um, I got it.

Hello.

I can start tomorrow.

Great.

Oh, thank you so much.

Who called?

What, honey?

Who called?

Ahh, well,

if you have to know, smarty-pants,

-I got a job. -Like, a real job?

-Yeah. -Like Dad?

Yeah... like Dad.

Cool.

Look at all of them.

They've come so far.

And so have you.

Paige, are you also going on the trip?

Leah, where's the trip to?

-The Grand Can-- -The Grand Canyon.

-Yeah, I am. -Good for you.

See, it's OK to have some fun sometimes.

Now you sound like my mom.

You need to get some rest.

And hey, you two, let's go, let's go.

I remember you.

You interviewed that day Harry was so cranky.

Mm-hmm.

I hope employee orientation wasn't too overwhelming.

It was impressively long.

-It's company policy. -Oh.

So, this is your desk.

I know it-- it kinda sucks.

Do you think a plant would help?

Mmm. No.

I mean, I have a cactus, but it's slowly dying.

Oh, no light?

No, I'm pretty sure I'm just really bad with plants.

Umm, so, you know what to do?

Mm-hmm,, just organize...

all of this.

-Good luck. -Hmm.

Paige!

How are you?

I'm... good.

Is everything OK?

Yeah, everything's fine.

I gotta run. Private.

And Glenn is in no mood today.

Good luck.

I'm fine.

It's all going to be fine.

I'm ready.

Hey! How's your first day going?

-Ohh...

What happened to you?

Uh, this building is sucking the energy out of me.

Well, I like your sense of humor.

Hmm.

Are you done for the day?

Yes, a group of us,

we usually go out after work on Mondays.

You should come.

What? We're cool.

Oh, no, no, no. No. I have kids.

So, get a babysitter.

Husband?

Boyfriend?

Mm-mm. No, it's just-- it's complicated.

See? You should definitely join us.

Can I get a rain check?

Bye.

Bye.

Knock-knock.

Come in.

You missed dinner.

I already ate at school,

and... healthy snack.

Can you close your laptop, please?

-Just let me help you.

Oh, well, I guess I should have waited

for the miracle of you cleaning your room.

You shouldn't have to pick up for me.

What were you watching?

Like you even care.

Well...

...do you want to watch something together?

Do you really wanna watch ballet?

Or...

do you want to watch me dance?

Well, I do have a lot of laundry.

I can dance right here, right now.

Let's just talk.

About?

Did you talk to your dad at all?

He called me.

I didn't answer.

He's still your father.

He left without saying a word.

I think he just needs time.

I do have some great news, though.

I got a job.

-Really? -Come on!

Why is everyone so surprised at this?

So, it's serious then?

You and Dad?

I don't know.

But you need to call him back.

Whatever.

I'm tired. I'm gonna go to bed.

OK.

Good night.

Yeah.

Twenty years of marriage and you have nothing to say?

Hi, Paige! How's ballet?

Seriously? Ballet?

You can't talk to your daughter about anything more meaningful?

What?

Oh-- Talk to her about college. I--

I mean, if you paid any attention...

What's going on with her?

She didn't even say hi.

What did you expect?

A Daddy of the Year speech?

At least a "hi" to her dad, who she hasn't seen in a while.

Oh, well, welcome to my life!

She's a teenager now, in case you hadn't noticed.

Oh. Yes, Lynda.

I didn't notice that my daughter's grown up.

Well, it wouldn't surprise me if you hadn't.

Can you not smoke?

No! If I wanna smoke, I will! As much as I'd like!

Fine. Lynda, I didn't come here to argue.

Why did you come here?

Please stop.

Stop what?!

I came because you told me to.

Why couldn't you have just signed the papers?

Derek, I really think we can fix this

-if we just work-- -Alex!

Lynda! Lynda.

I've met someone.

And I love her.

And I cannot be with you.

Come on, Alex!

Get back into your room!

Mom and Dad are getting a divorce!

Shhhh! Be quiet!

What do you want me to do?

I don't know, OK?

I have to go.

I can't take the kids.

They need stability.

And we need some privacy.

Oh ho!

So that's what this is about!

You want a new life with your new girlfriend!

No worries, Dad.

I don't care about you either.

Paige, hon! I didn't--

Are you happy now?

Hey, Paige!

Hey.

Are you OK?

What happened?

Lili, I know you're trying to help,

but I really need you to not to say anything

and walk away right now.

OK.

Did you warm up?

-Good luck. -Thank you.

Miriam, help Paige fix her hair.

OK.

That's OK. Thank you.

Should I find Glenn?

Everything's fine.

So, there's food in the fridge,

and Alex goes to bed around ten.

-Um... -Yes, no worries.

Sorry, I just want to go over everything.

This is the first time I've left my kids with a babysitter.

Totally understand.

-And what about...? -Oh, Paige.

Ah, she's meeting with her math tutor tonight,

so you don't have to worry about her.

Hey, honey...

is everything OK in there?

It's fine, Mom. I'm studying.

OK, well... I'm going out, and, uh,

Sarah's watching Alex.

Sounds good.

OK.

Hello.

Hey! How was it?

I feel like a fool for even trying.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It couldn't be that bad.

No. No. It wasthat bad.

You know what?

We're having a party at my place.

You should come over.

Yeah. A party.

That's exactly what I need right now.

Come on, Paige. It's better than you crying

on the floor of your bedroom.

Forget about dancing for a night.

I've had such a long day.

Don't be like that.

OK.

What time?

One, two... three.

Paige?

Hey!

I'm here for the party.

I'm Dylan's friend.

I know. Come in.

I didn't catch your name.

I didn't give it to you.

I'm Kate.

Nice to meet you.

We have science together.

I'm so sorry.

No problem.

I'm just messing with you. Let's go.

-Oh, hi! -Lynda! You showed up!

Yeah! I decided to join the crowd.

I'm so glad you did! You need a drink!

And I need one too. We have a table right here.

Oh... great.

I can't believe you're actually here!

I can't believe it either.

I mean, I left my kids at home with a babysitter--

No talk of kids or husbands tonight.

We need drinks.

Hi. Can I get a martini, please?

Shots!

Here's to us!

To us.

-Let's dance. -OK.

This is for you.

Thanks.

Don't worry. It's just punch.

We have a no-alcohol policy.

Oh.

Hey, everyone, I just wanted to say thanks for coming out tonight.

-Yeah.

He is.

Ooh-ooh! See that guy over there?

He's totally checking you out! You should go say hi.

-Oh, come on, Jessica! -Go!

-I'm gonna get a drink. -What?

Drink?

Martini.

Thank you.

I heard you wanted one.

Mm-hmm.

Um, I didn't catch your name.

Well, that's because I didn't give it to you.

Huh. Fair enough.

You really should.

-I'm Miranda. -Miranda.

George.

Nice to meet you, George.

You are very beautiful.

Thank you. Thanks.

Do you wanna dance?

-Yes. -OK. OK.

Look at you. You look great.

Thanks.

Your singing was... lovely.

I mean, it was great.

Thanks.

Are you-- Do you write music?

Yeah, I'm trying.

I have a couple of songs that I'm proud of.

Oh, cool.

-Nice song. -Oh. Thanks, Kate.

You met Paige, right?

-We're in the same class. -That's right.

Will you excuse me?

-Have you seen Lynda? -Unh-unh.

-Hey, have you seen my friend? -Uh, which one?

Um, brown hair, dress...

Uh, I think she left, but honestly, I'm not sure.

Oh. OK, thanks.

Mm-mm.

Oh! Um, I-I, uh...

I don't think I can do this. I'm sorry.

You were just into it a second ago.

I know, but, um--mm--

the thing is, I'm married.

I don't care.

But-- Really, I'm-I'm uncomfortable.

Can you just-- Can you please just get off me!?

Ooh. Uh, I'm so sorry.

The door was open.

Paige.

Where you goin'?

It's just getting late.

You were just gonna leave without saying goodbye?

You should go back... to your friends.

My mom doesn't know I'm here, and I really don't wanna

get in trouble tonight.

And that's the only reason why you're leaving?

Mm-hmm.

You should've said bye.

Bye.

Paige?

I know you snuck out.

Well, you better keep it between us.

You're not even supposed to be awake.

How are you doing there?

I just don't understand this.

I can help if you want.

Nah. I've spent three hours trying.

I'm done for today.

You should go let Mom know.

Oh no. Thank you, but no.

The second she finds out, you'll get the focus of attention.

You know how fun that could be.

Mm-hmm.

Yesterday was awful.

I can't believe they're gonna get divorced.

You don't know that.

Alex... I'll always be around.

Till you're gone with your stupid ballet.

Hey!

I mean it.

I'll always be here for you.

Promise?

I promise.

Hi, everyone.

You're early today.

Stand up.

Do a triple pirouette.

I haven't warmed up yet.

That hasn't stopped you before.

Let's see it.

Again.

Again.

That'sright.

See, you are capable of it.

Easily!

I'm sorry.

I don't know what happened at the audition.

Being a performer means nothing will distract you.

-I understand. -Take your place at the barre.

So, you left your clutch last night.

Look at you, all shiny and bright.

You sound like you're in your late forties.

Come on! So, did he take you home, or...?

It didn't go any further.

Seriously... what's goin' on?

Well, I'm thirty-six, and texting my soon-to-be ex-husband

after the worst night of my life.

No offense.

And I'm trying to figure out

what to do with my teenage daughter,

who thinks she has everything figured out.

Well, do you?

What?

Do you have everything figured out?

You wouldn't understand. You don't have kids.

No, but I have a mom.

I mean, it took us a while before we were able to have

any kind of a relationship.

You can't always expect things to turn out exactly

as you planned them.

I'm just so afraid of... being alone.

Derek and I have been going together since our freshman year of college.

I've always been with him...

and I don't know who I am without him.

Well...

maybe this is your chance to find out who you are.

Yeah, I'm just not sure if I'm ready to let him go.

I still hope that I can fix it somehow.

Not everything can be fixed.

Sometimes we have to let go.

I have to get to a meeting.

If you ever need to talk...

you know where my office is.

Thank you, Jessica.

Paige! Come here.

Follow me to my office.

-You look different. -How so?

It looks like you've lost a lot of weight.

That's a good thing, right?

Do you think that's good?

Tell me, what have you eaten?

Uh...carrots.

I've been eating a lot of vegetables.

For every meal?

I don't know. I don't remember.

Paige.

I'm just not hungry.

Do you feel like you need to lose weight?

No! No--

I'm not doing it on purpose.

My family--

I can't eat.

Go grab some food, and come back to the studio.

Paige, I'm serious.

Fine.

I'll eat. I promise.

Thanks for dinner, Mom.

You're welcome.

Finally, you decided to join us.

How is work?

Payin' the bills.

Hmm.

So... I wanted to talk to you about my trip to San Francisco.

Since I'm back to straight A's, I thought it would be

a good time to talk about it.

I don't recall talking about San Francisco at all.

The company I want to get into

is San Francisco Ballet Theater.

I thought we already discussed dance and your future.

You said that when my grades improved--

that we could talk-- Alex!

I'm trying to talk to Mom! What are you doing?

Dancing! Mom told me even a monkey could do it.

It takes so much, and you never get it.

You're right. We are done here.

Hey. Plate, please.

Don't forget about your school trip!

Alex! Alex!

What did Paige do now?

Did you see your sister this morning?

Yes, she left around nine.

You were asleep?

Paige!

Get over here this instant!

I am not going to repeat myself.

Let's go!

Did I tell you to stop?

And! Plié!

Mom! Stop!

We are leaving right now. I...

don't even have words! What are you even doing here?

I tried talking to you last night.

You don't even listen to me!

I need to practice for San Francisco.

I've never even heard about an audition in San Francisco before last night.

And if I had, I would've said no.

Mom, you promised me!

You said if I improved my grades, and I did--

I never promised. I said we'd talk about it, and we did,

last night.

Talk?

You didn't even hear me out!

You lied to me.

Oh! You want to talk about lying?!

OK. Let's talk about lying.

Don't change the subject! You...

Michael. Focus, please.

I told you I need to practice for San Francisco!

I also need a lot of things in this world.

But do I get it? No.

You didn't get into the company you already auditioned for,

so why waste your time on another?

That audition... doesn't even matter!

I willget into the San Francisco Ballet Theater.

Oh, honey.

This was real cute when you were a kid,

but now... this is just pathetic.

Pathetic?

Not as pathetic as you... controlling my life

because you have nothing left.

I'm in the middle of class. This is not the place.

We're leaving. Now.

-We need to talk. -No. We don't.

She's not allowed to be here. End of conversation.

Paige has an important audition coming up Sunday.

Yes, in San Francisco, which she will notbe attending!

Are you ready?

Grab your stuff, drive straight home.

So nice to see you.

I need your keys.

Yeah, that's right. You're losing your car privileges.

And how am I supposed to get to school?

I'll drive you.

Great.

Whoops. Sorry.

Paige, you were wrong. You went behind my back.

At least I don't make promises I can't keep.

No, wait.

You just didn't want to keep them.

I'm not going to discuss this with you again.

Dad promised me!

I honestly don't care what Dad promised.

Dad's not here. I am.

Hey, Paige! Good to hear from you, hon.

Dad...I need your help.

Paige, I'm sorry. I can't.

Paige? Paige! Are you still there?

Paige? Breakfast.

Paige, I know you're awake.

How many times do we have to--

I'm sorry, Mom. I had to go.

I have to follow my dream, because dance is my passion.

Please, just try to understand, I'm not trying to hurt you,

but nothing else makes me feel the same way

as when I'm on stage.

I'll see you when I get back from San Francisco. Love you.

Where's Paige? She doesn't want breakfast again?

Honey, just eat your food.

Come on, Paige.

Mom, did Paige go somewhere?

Alex, eat. Please.

Derek, how dare you do something without consulting me!

Lynda, if it's about Paige, I totally took your side.

Look who's awake!

Thanks.

Good reflexes.

Where are we?

Oh, you know. Just the middle of nowhere.

So that means...

Couple hours away from San Francisco.

Sweet.

Call me when you're done. I'll check in at the hotel.

All right!

Five, six, seven, eight!

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven--

Luke, remember to connect your passé-

Who do you think you are!

Keep doing what you're doing. I'll be right back.

Christina Kilroy?

Let's go.

How can I help you, Lynda?

Paige is in San Francisco, and it's all your fault.

How is it my fault exactly? Paige made her own choices.

She's seventeen! She doesn't know what she wants.

And she's not allowed to make the choice to run away.

You're the one who put these ideas into Paige's head about being a ballerina.

Deluding her into thinking that she has a future in it.

When was the last time you saw Paige dance?

When she was little.

Let me show you something.

I don't wanna see anything. I just came here to--

I don't even know why I'm here.

Since you're already here, just watch it.

That was beautiful...

but it doesn't change anything.

Come with me.

We would like to see how you look together.

Please take the stage.

I have many really promising dancers.

Paige has the potential to be great.

It's beautiful.

But I just don't want her to be disappointed later.

We all have regrets.

I'm sorry, I have to go.

So how does it feel to be so great?

Good. It feels really, really good.

Well, you're not the only one with some great news.

-Oh yeah? -I got into a music program.

-What? Where? -L.A.

Dylan! That's amazing! Congratulations!

-Thank you. -For what?

If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even be here.

-I know. -I'm serious.

Looks like you owe me a trip to the Grand Canyon.

Really? You are still going on about that?

So... you're back.

Yes, I am.

Crap.

I thought you'd be at work.

Well, I took the day off, since you said

you'd be home this morning.

Dylan just dropped me off.

The tutor?

He's a friend.

How'd the audition go?

It went really well.

Did you get in?

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Glenn showed me your audition piece.

You went to the studio?

Oh yeah. Made a huge scene.

Not proud of it.

But he showed me your video...

and you're very talented, Paige.

Thanks, Mom.

Did you like California?

It was a bit colder, but I could see myself living there.

So...am I grounded for life?

No.

But there is some immediate babysitting in your future

as punishment.

That sounds fair.

Do we have anything to eat?

Oh yeah. Go help yourself.

Uh, I actually have to get going,

so your punishment starts now, and Alex is in his room.

Where are you going?

I have to meet someone.

I'm really glad you're home.

Paige?

-What's up? -I missed you.

I missed you too.

Paige...

Yes?

Will you show me how you dance?

What?

Mom wouldn't stop talking about how good you are.

I wanna see.

All right. Let's go.

If you have any questions, please just ask.

I think my client's offer is more than fair.

I canread, you know.

I can't believe this is finally happening.

Did you change your mind 'cause I backed you up?

I mean, I never really cared about the ballet, I just--

Well, I guess after you leaving and Paige running away,

I finally understood one thing.

I don't need someone in my life,

or my kids' lives,

who would rather think about himself

than support his own children.

I am happy to be free of you, Derek.

Have a great life.

Turning.

Not bad!

Oh gosh. Oh gosh!

Ballet is difficult.
