Flashdance

I'll tell you what. I'll give you the Cowboys and three.

- Three and a half. - Take three, be happy.

Three and a half, I'm ecstatic.

Anybody fixed that?

Hey, is this visit a one-time shot, or are you gonna surprise me all the time?

If I told you that, it wouldn't be a surprise.

Come on. I'll buy you a beer.

If I come up with the scoop on her, I get Dallas at three and a half.

If you come up with anything on her, I'll give you six.

Number 174-63-1503.

Pete, I don't want her zip code.

It's her Social Security number, asshole. She works for you.

I have one cheese, medium, fries.

Two plain, rare, tomato and onions. One pastrami on kaiser, mayo, no mustard.

What's a pimple on a Polack's ass?

I need a BLT on rye, Richie.

A brain tumor.

- Richie. - What's this?

Come on, Richie.

A lesbian with a hard-on.

I'm terrific, right? You can tell me. I can take it. I'm terrific, right?

Mayo, no mustard.

Can't you see me opening up in L.A., Jeanie?

Here he is, direct from Pittsburgh. It's Richie Blazik, ladies and gentlemen.

L.A.? What's all this talk about L.A.?

You've been on the stage two times. I give you two lousy shots...

and already you're talking about going to L.A.?

Come on. What are you, crazy? Besides, you're too short anyway.

They don't let short people into Hollywood.

And you're making the hamburgers too big again.

Make them smaller?

Small? I'll give you small.

This place is so small, you have to go outside to change your mind.

My turn.

Ring, damn you. I can't believe it. He didn't call.

He'll call.

- Do you really think so? - Of course. Why wouldn't he?

Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't he? Maybe he'll call. I don't know.

I don't know. The last time I talked to him, he seemed funny.

Like, "Call you later, babe."

- I don't think he'll call. - Don't worry. He'll call.

- You really think so? - Of course. Why wouldn't he?

You're right. He'll call. But if he doesn't, do you think I should call him?

Tina, he'll call.

I love how you're always trying to straighten out other people's lives.

Well, anytime you want me to straighten out yours, just let me know.

Well, 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 you with anything? A foot massage?

- Get out of here. - Dog. Dog.

- It's been a long time since he's had some. - I'll 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.

I'm Nick Hurley.

Really?

I've seen your name on my paychecks.

So what's a dancer doing working as a welder?

A girl's gotta make a living.

- You speak French? - No, I just like the pictures.

- Me, too. - Hey, Nick. We need you on ten.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

- You read Vogue? - I used to.

I mean, my wife does. I mean, my ex-wife.

I'm... We're divorced.

Sorry.

Listen, I got to get to work.

You never know when the boss is gonna 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 general-alarm fire caused extensive damage...

to the High View lumber company, a United Dairy store...

and an American Motors dealership in Washington County, this morning.

Putting you down to deal. Is it a deal? I gotta go, I got a call.

Don, it's a call with Dick, Dave and Doug. Got to go, Dave. Disconnecting.

Oh, shit.

Excuse me. Do you know where the admissions office is?

The door on the left.

Where's the focus?

- Where is it? - Where is the center?

Look up.

When you fill out...

When you fill out this application...

be sure and list all your years of dance education.

Starting with the most recent place you studied...

and the number of years at each institution.

Also, if you have any professional...

or other repertory experience, please list those.

She's really strict. You'll never make it.

When you fill out this application...

be sure to list all your years of dance education...

and the number of years you spent at each institution.

Also, if you have professional or other repertory experience...

I gotta go, you guys...

See you, Al. Don't get dirty.

- Hello, dancer. - Hi.

- Want a hand? - No, thanks.

I... have this close personal relationship with the lady who drives the lunch truck...

I think I can get her to make us anything as long as it's on the menu.

- I'm not having lunch. - 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?

Come on.

I love this dress.

It'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 gonna 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 I've put money away so if they take me, I can support myself.

But, child, they won't take you unless you apply and audition.

I know. I know, but sometimes...

Alexandra, you are 18 years old. Do it now.

Do it.

Okay. Okay.

You are a good girl.

May the Lord be in your heart...

and in your mind that you may confess your sins.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It's been two weeks since my last confession.

I'm doing okay, sort of.

I've been thinking about sex a lot.

But you can't help thinking about sex, right?

Well, you probably can. Help it, I mean.

Also, I told a lie.

I had to... Well, I didn't have to, but...

All I wanted to do was to make her happy.

Hanna was the one who wanted me to get the application.

I couldn't tell her that I just didn't have the courage to go through with it.

If you had seen all those dancers, all those people.

There's no way I belong there.

It's just that I want to make something out of my life.

I want to do so much, and sometimes...

Sometimes I think that it's just not gonna happen.

Six beautiful girls, all nude.

Hi, baby. How you doing? Five dollars. Right this way.

Five dollars. Right here. All nude, all the time.

All nude, all the time. That's right.

Cecil, look at you. Why don't you buy some threads?

I'm running a class act here.

You look like a one-man slum. All nude, all the time.

Right here. Live, beautiful girls. Six beautiful girls. Right here, live.

Five dollars. Right this way.

Five dollars. Live. Nude. All girls. All the time.

Live. Nude. Right here. Five dollars. Right through the door.

Straighten yourself up, Cecil. Drag some customers in.

Well, well, well. What are these?

They're very cute. They're very, very cute.

Alex. Alex, come on. Give them back. They're Richie's.

My dad's breathing down my neck about him.

He says Richie's no good and that if he ain't asked me to marry him by now...

he ain't gonna.

No kidding.

Did it take very long to learn how to dance that way?

About 25 years.

Will you teach me how?

- Yeah, if you teach me how to skate. - Yeah.

Good evening, ladies.

Look at that. $21,321. All leather, push button.

Wanna go for a ride?

Hey, Jeanie, you still porking that cook?

Listen. Come see my club. I just put this new PA system in...

and the floor, it's all lit up, right where you're gonna dance.

I want you to see what you're gonna call home.

Did you know that the smallest penis ever measured was 1.1 inches?

You are some pair of cunts. You know that?

I can't believe I'm working out with this hangover.

Wait, wait, wait. I have lost my keys.

Oh, shit.

What a jerk.

Come on. Let's go work out.

He didn't call.

He'll call.

I don't think so, Alex.

He'll call, Tina.

I don't know.

Look, just call the man. Say, "Hey, baby, what's happening?"

The way you're going on, your whole life's gonna be over...

before you make up your mind.

Just get up and call the dude.

Yeah? You really think so?

God, I'm glad I ain't no honky.

You girls eat like pigs. What happened to the diet?

I didn't eat anything yesterday.
