There we go. Come on.
Come on, Jeanie!
Get up, Jeanie.
It's going to be OK.
All that time and practice.
What a waste.
- Goddamn waste of time.
- It was not.
It wasn't.
You went out there, didn't you?
At least you had the guts to try.
How are you doing, sport?
I'm sorry, Daddy.
I love you more than I've ever
loved anything in my whole life.
What the hell.
You bounced pretty good.
She practised for two years.
- She'll do better next time.
- There won't be any next time.
Thank you.
What do you feel like,
fish, chicken, steak?
- I know this terrific little...
- Pizza.
...Pizza place.
- You really live here?
- Yeah.
It used to be a warehouse
before I moved in.
It's different. Very different.
A whole lot different
than where I'm from.
Where is that?
Altoona, Pennsylvania.
Altoona.
I was thinking
more along the lines of Jupiter.
Actually, they're very close.
It's just the next lifeless planet over.
Really, it was boring.
Except for maybe music.
- They have music in Altoona?
- Well, my father, he loves music.
This one time, he took us all
to the symphony, my whole family.
It was supposed to be
this really big deal.
At first I didn't like it very much.
There is nothing to do with your feet
and there's nothing to look at.
It's boring.
I was ready to nod out,
or something.
He said, "If you close your eyes,
you can see the music."
You can, too.
Did you ever try?
See the music?
Come on, try.
Close your eyes.
Well?
Well...
I had a great time.
It was a terrific evening.
Don't you want some pizza?
Hey!
A little late, aren't you?
What was that for?
I wanted to see how fast
you could run.
- How did I do?
- Fair.
Do that again.
- What?
- That dance step you just did.
I can't, I was just fooling around.
I'm not a dancer like that.
- What do you mean?
- I've never studied before.
I mean, I read books and stuff
and I watch.
But I've never taken dance classes.
There's all those dancers
in one 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.
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.
Hanna!
Hanna!
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-Up.
- 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
