:40:00
So there's this jungle
and all these wild animals, lions and tigers.
:40:05
There's this elephant
and he steps on this thorn.
:40:07
It makes sense for Charlie
to partner you in the pas de deux class.
:40:10
He's very good.
:40:12
It's a waste for him to be partnering Jody.
:40:15
It's fine. So anyway...
:40:16
- ...the thorn really hurts.
- I'm talking about something important.
:40:20
- It's not that important.
- Not that important?
:40:24
Having a bad pas de deux partner
is like having a bad tennis partner.
:40:27
I wouldn't know. I've never played tennis.
:40:33
What's wrong with you?
Did you just start your period?
:40:35
No. God.
:40:37
Well, you're acting strangely.
:40:40
I'm trying to tell a joke.
:40:41
I'm trying to have an important
conversation about your future.
:40:45
Charlie brings out the best in his partner.
:40:46
That'll make a difference when
it comes to cast the student workshop.
:40:51
I won't have a hard time
getting a good part, Mom.
:40:54
You can't afford to be cavalier, Maureen.
:40:56
Your entire career hangs
on what you get to dance in the workshop.
:41:01
I know all this.
:41:05
Please don't turn into
a sullen teenager on me now.
:41:08
You've come this far.
:41:10
I thought we were home free.
:41:13
Anyway...
:41:15
...I have a meeting with Jonathan today.
I'll mention the idea of you and Charlie.
:41:20
What happens is the elephant goes, "Ow"
and the mouse goes, "Take it all, bitch! "
:41:31
You're threatened by me.
:41:36
I'm threatened by no one.
:41:38
Yeah, you are.
You're afraid of opening the Times...
:41:42
...and reading that at last, someone is
making interesting dances for ABC.
:41:46
I'm not an idiot.
:41:47
If you prove to be a great choreographer,
I'll be begging you to make dances.
:41:51
But for now,
I can only choreograph workshop.
:41:54
That's my decision.
:41:56
You're still hanging onto
all that personal shit.
