:23:01
...and all food, cigarettes and radios
outside. Do you understand me?
:23:08
-Why are you here, Mr. Johnson?
-Because l's young and single...
:23:12
-...and I loves to mingle.
-Speak English.
:23:15
-I speak like I likes.
-This is my room. You'll speak as I like.
:23:20
I teach English. Now, if that's
a foreign language, you're gonna learn it.
:23:26
This is no Mickey Mouse school. You
won't get off easy because of talent.
:23:32
-I don't care how well you dance...
-Bitch run her fucking mouth.
:23:36
...or how many colored tutus you have.
If you don't give academic subjects...
:23:40
-...equal time, you're out.
-Bullshit.
:23:44
You have to arrive earlier
to get dressed and warmed up.
:23:47
You have to take outside classes
in your major field...
:23:51
...and study ballet, modern, folk,
jazz, tap and historical dance here...
:23:55
...as well as dance history,
supported adagio...
:23:58
...variation class, makeup, hairstyling
and even acting for dancers.
:24:04
50,000 people call themselves actors,
and maybe 500 are making a living at it.
:24:09
Most of those do commercials to
pay the rent. The rest wait tables...
:24:13
...clean other people's apartments,
living on welfare and hope.
:24:17
Don't think talent's enough
to get you through.
:24:20
You gotta have a strong technique,
a good agent, and most of all, thick skin.
:24:24
Now you're part of an underprivileged
minority, and you're going to suffer.
:24:29
Pulled tendons, shin splints,
swollen toes, smelly tights....
:24:33
Cattle calls, the humiliation,
the rejection....
:24:36
Melodic dictation theory, keyboard
harmony, piano, piano literature...
:24:42
...music history, orchestration,
conducting, symphonic band....
:24:48
-When do we have lunch?
-Lunch is at 11 :30. One half-hour...
:24:51
-...and then you'll have everything else.
-What's everything else?
:24:55
Biology, chemistry, algebra, English,
French, physics, history, et cetera.
