room
watching each other
and watching you.
But you dance in front of an audience
at the club every night.
It's different.
I never see them.
You go out there, the music starts
and you begin to feel it.
And your body just starts to move.
I know it sounds really silly.
But something inside of you
just clicks.
You just take off
and you're gone.
It's like you're somebody else
for a second.
Some nights, I...
Some nights I just can't wait
to get out there...
Just so I can disappear.

# Don't walk this lonely avenue
# Lady, lady, lady
# Let me touch that part of you
You want me to #

# He says that he can read my mind
# The power to turn iron into gold
# She says she's seen the other side
# And knows the place
The fire burns all night
# There is an answer to the question
# So long ago down below
# Once you have it,
It never goes away
# It's in the pocket,
When you're really really lucky
# When your fantasy becomes reality
# Living inside your imagination
# It's in your pocket,
When you're really really lucky
# When your fantasy becomes reality... #
How come you don't go up there
and dance?
You look like
you could dance real good.
I'm practising.
Yeah? You know how to do
the horizontal mambo?
Jeanie, I just kid around.
I don't mean nothing. Keep that.
That's $100.
I can't take this.
Keep it.
It's my way of saying I'm sorry.
Thanks.

Darling, here you are.
Bravo! Bravo!
At the end of every performance, does
the lead dancer always get flowers?
- Always.
- Did you get flowers like that?
- Not always.
- But once, right? At least once?
- How does that make you feel?
- You will let me know.
- Now, sleep well.
- You too.
You son of a bitch!
Was that you
or the radiator, Grunt?
Oh, shit.
Shut up, Grunt.
- Hey, it's Richie!
- Hi.
The stupid radiator broke.
- I just wanted to say goodbye.
- Where are you going?
L.A.
- L.A.?
- Got my car all packed.
I'm just going to get on the turnpike.
That's it. I'm gone.
What about Jeanie?
Look, I love Jeanie. But I don't
have it to give to her right now.
She's going to be all right.
She'll be fine.
Don't go yet. I'll make
some coffee, we can talk.
What am I going to do here?
Cook hamburgers
and pretend I'm a comedian?
I'll miss you.
Can't forget my hat.
Good luck.
Give me a turkey sandwich
and a diet 7-U)p.
- I've got that.
- Save your money.
- I was buying you lunch.
- I don't want you buying me anything.
- I don't want you buying me, period.
- What's the matter?
- I've got eyes.
- What are you talking about?
I didn't know you were a ballet fan,
I thought you liked it private.
What?
How quickly they forget.
At the dance benefit.
The blonde in the white dress.
Who's the goddamn blonde?
Blonde?
Blonde?
Wait a minute.
Will you wait a minute?
Wait a minute! What's going on?
Is everybody crazy?
Last night, some idiot throws
a rock through my window...
- I broke your fucking window!
- You what?
You heard me.
I smashed your stupid window.
Are you crazy?
Are you out of your mind?
Maybe.
It cost me a $170.
I had to special order it.
You've got the money!
Go fuck the blonde!
She's my ex-wife.
We have friends on the Arts Council.
I see her once a year
to take her to the stupid benefit!
Why am I explaining myself?
You didn't have to break my window.
I did it because... you pissed me off.
When I was a kid all I wanted was
to afford to eat in restaurants like this.
Were you poor?
I was so poor
I had hand-me-down lunches.
It was rough in the old days.
I used to steal
hubcaps with Johnny C.
You did?
How's the lobster?
It sucks.
Want some of mine?
I'm not hungry, thanks.
Whatever turns you on.
What turns you on?
You like phone booths?
Phone booths?
You probably just like
doing it in bed, right?
- You two look cosy.
- Alex,
