Feel the Beat

Reminder. Audition 10:00 a.m. today.

Reminder. Audition...

They're gonna kick me out.

Taxi!

Come on.

Come on, taxi.

Oh!

Thank you!

This is my taxi!

This is a matter of life and death.

Midtown. Broadhurst Theatre. Make it fast. I've got a major audition.

Oh!

Be fierce!

Next group.

Be fierce!

Work it!

Yes!

Yes! Push!

Push!

Well, we've got a few cuts to make, ladies.

Sixteen.

And 22.

Yes.

Front row, thank you.

You're cut.

Collette?

One moment, ladies. I'll be right back.

Ruth Zimmer would like to take a look at you.

She's coming in now.

Oh, I'm soaked to the bone!

What? That's horrid!

Oh, my God.

What kind of selfish girl would do it to Ruth Zimmer?

She would.

So,

you're a really good dancer, are you?

I'll bet you're really good. You look like you are.

Like you put every hour of every day into sharpening every skill and every move

so you can be perfect.

But missy, your dreams will never come true,

because as long as I live, and I've got a lot of years left,

I will make sure that you are never hired for any show,

on Broadway, Off-Broadway or Off-Off-Broadway.

Your career is over, chorus girl.

- Miss Zimmer, please... - Bring back your next choice, Collette.

I can explain.

- That won't be necessary. - You're done.

- Miss Zimmer, please, could you just let... - Let go.

Please.

- If you just... Please. - Let go of me!

- Let me explain. You'll understand. - Let go of me!

Ow!

Chorus girl.

Ooh! Somebody had a good morning.

What, Deco? I've had the worst day.

I know. I saw it.

- What? - Baby girl, you are all over my feed.

All over it.

What are you talking about?

Oh!

- Is over, chorus girl. - Oh, my gosh...

Let me explain.

- Let go of me! - Please!

That wasn't my fault.

- She slipped and fell. - Yes, and she broke her leg

and her wrist.

Oh, look. Another person retweeted it to me.

How many people have watched this? A couple hundred?

Oh, more like 30,000. But who's counting?

This can't be happening.

She doesn't actually have the power to end my career, right?

Just because she's one of the biggest money people on Broadway?

Please.

I better call my agent.

Hi, this is April, for...

The April who pushed Ruth Zimmer off the stage?

Yes. That April.

Hello?

Hello?

They hung up.

It was really nice knowing you. I mean, have fun teaching Jazzercise.

No. There's gotta be someone who isn't afraid of her.

- Someone who'll cast whoever they want. - No, honey. Everybody's afraid of her.

Not him.

Not Welly Wong.

Okay.

And without an agent, how do you expect to get in front of Welly Wong?

Nicole, you're saying, "Have auditions,"

I'm telling you I will.

We're looking everywhere. We just haven't found our star yet.

- Five, six, seven, eight. - Nicole, I just need

to communicate...

I'm looking for a specific mix of talent and loveliness.

You know what I mean? No!

Look harder.

I haven't found my lead dancer yet.

Oh, my gosh!

David, they're totally on my case about this

so it looks like we have to clear a day sometime next week,

to find our dancer. We have to find a star,

- it's... it's imperative! - Ow!

Hey, Dad.

There she is. What's new?

Not much, you know. Just...

Paying my dues.

It'll happen. You've got the talent, sweetie.

Are you... out in the hallway?

Yeah, um...

I'm just waiting for my takeout.

Doing all right otherwise? Do you need anything?

No. All good.

Oh, but my food's here, so I should probably...

Yeah, okay.

Call me later, whenever you get a chance.

Yeah, I will.

Bye.

You heard from Mom lately?

Nope.

Oh, God. I hope she hasn't seen that video of me.

Or people back here either, I would die.

Don't get too full of yourself.

People around here have other things to worry about.

Yeah.

It's probably just me with a Google alert on you.

I hate the Internet.

All right, boys, let's go, come on. Pick up your feet.

- Go Churners. - Great!

This rate, we'll be the slowest football team.

- RJ, pick up the pace. - I'm trying my best, coach.

You too, Goldilocks, come on.

- See the team still sucks. - Get home next week.

- Buzz. - Pick up your feet! Hey, Frank.

How you doing?

You call that a run? Let's go.

Has anyone moved into your old store?

No.

Stupid pharmacy chain, putting us little guys out of business.

At least they gave you a job.

Yeah, part-time but...

I really blew it, Dad.

Such a failure.

Oh, honey.

You know what will make you feel better?

Cheese.

Thank you, Karen. Say hi to your mom.

- Mmm... - April! Oh!

- Miss Barb. - Oh, my gosh!

Well, I was just getting snacks for the pep rally. Go Churners!

- Go Churners! - And I thought,

"Is that April?"

But then I go, "Well, that can't be April

because April is in NYC." And yet,

here you are! Oh, my God!

Oh! I just saw Nick.

Well, how funny is that?

Nick's here?

Oh, my gosh.

It's just like old times. I mean, you know,

minus you two being joined at the lips,

and before you broke up in that text message.

I cannot believe you are standing right in front of me.

Oh!

You remember my little one,

June?

Yeah, she was in Pampers the last time that you saw her. Junie.

This is who I've been talking about.

Yeah, the high school's all-time greatest cheerleader. Go Churners!

Go Churners!

And Mommy's biggest success story.

She is a Broadway star!

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh, you have to come by the studio

and say hi to the girls!

I would love to.

Great!

But my dad's been sick.

- Who's sick? - Oh, no. Frank, are you sick?

- Yeah... - Oh, my God.

Well, I'll make you a casserole.

That's what I'm gonna do. Okay.

Well, it was just so, so wonderful to... see you, and I just...

The girls will just... They'll be so disappointed not to meet you, but...

I know, it's such a shame.

Let's not disappoint the girls. She'll be happy to meet them.

Really? Oh, well that's fantastic!

Oh, my G... Okay, well, you know where the studio is.

I'll see you at 5:30.

Take care of yourself, Frank.

Super.

Would it have killed you to play sick?

Whoopsie-daisy. Go Churners!

Go Churners!

Come on, ladies.

All right. Here we are.

Make sure you have everything.

Bye!

Have a good class.

Hey, Sarah. Don't forget to help Michelle with her shoes, okay?

You don't have to tell me, Nick.

See you, guys.
