He'll call.
I love how you always try
to straighten out other people's lives.
Any time you want me
to straighten out yours, let me know.
Personally, I never call.
Because I don't have to.
- But if you want my advice...
- Not really.
- Hi, girls!
- Hi, Richie.
- Can I help? A foot massage?
- Get out of here!
- lt's been long since he's had some.
- I bet.
Hi.
Hi.
Do you read lips?
What?
I saw you dance last night.
- I just wanted to say hi.
- Hi.
You're Alex.
I know.
l'm Nick Hurley.
Really?
l've seen your name
on my pay cheques.
What's a dancer doing
working as a welder?
A girl's got to make a living.
- You speak French?
- No. I just like the pictures.
Me too.
- Nick. They need you on ten.
- l'll be right there.
- You read Vogue?
- I used to.
My wife does.
I mean, my ex-wife.
l'm divorced.
We're divorced.
Sorry.
Listen, I got to get to work.
You never know when the boss
is going to be around.
You forgot your thermos.
Hi, Grunt.
So, did you get laid today?
'And now, news headlines
with Kevin Evans.'
'Good evening. In the news,
a fire caused extensive damage
'to the High View Lumber Company,
a dairy store
'and an American Motors
dealership in McDonald,
'Washington County,
this morning...'
Shit!
# Just a still town girl on a Saturday night
# Looking for the fight of her life
# In the real time world
No one sees her at all
# They all say she's crazy
# Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart
# Changing women into life
# She has danced into the danger zone
# When the dancer becomes the dance
# It can cut you like a knife
If the gift becomes the fire
# On a wire between will
And what will be
# She's a maniac
Maniac, on the floor
# And she's dancing
Like she's never danced before
# She's a maniac
Maniac, on the floor
# And she's dancing
Like she's never danced before... #

- I got to go, you guys.
- See you, Alex. Don't get dirty.
- Hello, dancer.
- Hi.
- Want a hand?
- No, thanks.
You know, I have this close,
personal relationship
with the lady
who drives the lunch truck,
and I think I can get her
to make us anything we want.
- As long as it's on the menu.
- l'm not having lunch today.
- How about dinner?
- I can't.
I don't have dinner with the boss.
Thanks anyway.
No lunch, no dinner.
How about a snack?
Milk and cookies?
I love this dress. lt's exactly
like the picture I showed you.
Thanks so much for making it.
Now, more important,
did you go to the repertory?
I meant to. I was going to go
yesterday, but I didn't have time.
- You must make the time, child.
- I know.
Remember the first time
you took me to see them dance?
I have dreams about it.
Dreaming is wonderful, but it won't
get you closer to what you want.
But l've saved money, so if they take me,
I can support myself.
But, child, they won't take you
unless you apply and audition.
- I know, but sometimes...
- Alexandra, you are 18 years old.
Do it now! Do it!
OK.
You are a good girl.
May the Lord be in your heart
and mind that you confess your sins
in the name of the father,
the son and the holy spirit.
Bless me father, for I have sinned.
lt's been two weeks
since my last confession.
l'm doing OK. Sort of.
l've been thinking about sex a lot.
But you can't help
thinking about sex, right?
You probably can...
Help it, I mean.
Also, I told a lie.
I had to...
Well, I didn't have to, but...
