[talking about Godot] So what's your angle with this guy? What are your moves?

We don't really have any.

Oh, so you need me to help? Cool. Okay, first thing to know about guys like that is keep your sentences short. Don't mention Tolstoy or math, it will just make you sad. Oh, and it really helps if you have a car and an income, 'cause that guy's got nothin'.

Sasha

Thanks.

And he never will. No money, no car, no thoughts of money or a car. Trust me, if there's a second set of shorts at home, you've hit the jackpot.

Sasha

Got it.

Good. Oh, and he won't start showering till he's thirty. Or he's been skunked. Don't know why. It's a thing. Young pretty guys like that will do anything to get out of bathing. Johnny Depp moved to France.

Sasha

Could you please just go?

Maybe she's testing to see how dedicated you are to ballet.

What?

How bad you want it.

Sasha

What are you talking about?

Well, the door is locked and the only way to get more ballet is to find another way in. Are you willing to dig a tunnel under the studio with nothing but a plastic spoon, and then cut a giant hole in the floor with the chain saw you dragged along, and then once inside, repair the floor with nothing more than a glue gun, some bobby pins and your wits? [the girls just stare at her] Well, I see she has her answer.

Sasha

Please don't wait with us anymore.

[the girls are drying the wet carpet with blow-driers] How long have we been doing this?

Three hours.

Sasha

Last semester we read "No Exit." I didn't get it, but I do now.

How do we know when we're done?!

When the carpet's dry and doesn't smell like mildew.

What does mildew smell like?

It smells like it sounds.

Hey, did you break your legs?

Sasha

What?

Are those prosthetics you had to carve yourself out of an old dining-room set? That's why you're late?

Sasha

No.

Then what's your damage, Heather?

Sasha

What?

Boy, if anyone should know that reference it's you. Stream it, download it, Wikipedia it, Google "people who steal for no reason whatsoever." Get to know the real you.

Sasha

Why are you freaking out?

Because, Winona, you know you can't even be a minute late for class. Fanny's rule, not mine.

Sasha

Fanny's not here.

Madame Fanny to you. And no, she's not here, but her class is, her studio is, and her rules sure as hell are. But you know all this, don't you? You know that this kind of behavior will not fly. I mean, forget whatever beef you think you have with me, but there are kids here who want to dance, friends of yours.

Sasha

I don't have a beef with you.

Why are you doing this? Why are you forcing me into this role? I don't want to be this person, this authority figure. It's not me. And now you've got me talking about rules and your behavior, and I look stern and I think I wagged my finger. Did I wag my finger? You made me wag my finger! I'm not a disciplinarian. I'm not a grown-up! Well, I don't want to be! I'm not here to teach you anything. Except ballet. I am here to teach you ballet. So you have two minutes to get that hair in a bun and get your butt back to the barre or don't bother coming back to class. Period! [sotto voce as she leaves the room] Made me say period. Punk ass kid.

Sasha

[all the girls are ignoring each other] Great. Very mature.

Hey, what is the what? I'm starving. Where do you guys stash the candy bars?

Sasha

Dancers don't eat candy bars.

Yeah right. Suzanne Farrell was sixty percent caramel.

Sasha

Can we help you with something?

I just came up to check the state of the room, make sure it's still pink. It is. What's going on here?

Sasha

Apparently while I was off making with the pom-poms some sort of blood feud happened and no one seems ready to let it go no matter how BORING IT"S GETTING!

Okay, you four, front and center.

Sasha

Why me? I'm not in a fight.

You need a fourth. Watch "The Craft". Move. Okay, as the new sort-of-promoted-kind-of-equal-not-quite-a-partner-but-definitely-someone-with-more-authority-than-she-had-yesterday, I am ordering you to spill. [all the girls look away]

Sasha

Boo likes Charlie, Charlie likes Ginny, Melanie says Ginny can't date Charlie because Boo liked him first, but Ginny thinks since Boo likes Carl she relinquishes Charlie, who should revert back to the open market. And me, I wish we were all lesbians.

Sasha

You're on the basketball team.

Was on the basketball team.

Sasha

What happened?

You dribble right, you dribble left, you dribble right, you dribble left- That's a lot of dribbling without having some sort of stroke.

Sasha

I hear you.

I'm Roman.

Sasha

I thought your name was Tyler.

Roman's my middle name.

Sasha

It works better with the hair.

That's the thought process.

Sasha

So what are you in for?

Mosh pit got a little too intense. What about you?

Sasha

My ballet teacher maced us during a production of The Nutcracker.

Wow!

[Reading] I'm halfway through this thing and the stupid whale hasn't even shown up yet.

Sasha

There's no whale in The Great Gatsby.

Are you joking? Where's this stinker going if there's no whale?

Sasha

Many is the night that F. Scott pondered that very same question.

So, hey, do you have your home invasion escape plan set yet?

Sasha

What's that?

Ah, it's the first thing I do anytime I move in someplace new. It's a total single girl must. See? I look around a room and I think the home invader is coming in through the front door, so where do I go? You don't want to hide in the closet 'cause he will check the closet and then you're trapped so obviously, you're- you know, see ya. Now you're on the first floor which means you can jump out the window which is awesome except it also means the home invader can come in through the window. Which means you need a second escape route. Plus you hope it's not a group of home invaders like in "Taken," so... [Scotty giving Michelle the kill gesture] And nobody ever attacked me and I was safe and I got a kitten.

One more piece of advice. Don't bond with the old lady next door.

Sasha

Mrs. Weidemeyer?

You see her door open, dive for cover. And whatever you do, do not tell her you have a car. Old ladies are giant con artists.

Sasha

Con artists?

They start small. Trips to the market and the yarn shop, but before you know it you're picking up their prescriptions at 11:00 at night and driving them to the hospital when their hips break. And you think- They only have two hips how many can they break? Eighteen. 'Cause they break the same hips over and over.

[no one is talking at lunch] I swear it doesn't have to be like this.

Sasha

What, your sandwich?

No, this. Talk. Please talk. About whatever you want. I beg you.

But we don't know basketball.

I don't care about basketball.

Okay, fine. Let's talk. You know, I was re-watching "The Notebook" the other day, and I came up with a whole new theory.

Anything but "The Notebook."

Well, I watched "The Vow" the other night, and I couldn't figure out why-

All Rachel McAdams movies are off the table. [Carl walks by]

CCarl

Boo.

Carl. What's wrong?

CCarl

I thought your lunches were an all girl thing.

They were. Sasha changed it.

Sasha

I didn't change it. Roman changed it.

[to Carl] Hey, I'm Roman.

CCarl

Carl [they shake hands]. I didn't know you could just change the rules.

I didn't know you could just change them either.

Sasha

There were never rules.

CCarl

Well, if there are no rules, I'm sitting here. Don't mind me. Just keep doing what you're doing.

Good luck with that. [Dez sits down next to Melanie]

What the hell?!

Whatever. Just saw these guys here so I figured "hey."

Sasha

Impeccable logic.

Ah, girls, you know what marrying a lovely man of means means? No more performing. I can hang up the tights, hang up the headdresses. Do you know I have worked every new year's Eve since I was 17? I have never celebrated new year's. Now Rick and I can celebrate new year's.

If he makes it to new year's.

Sasha

So obvious.

Getting sloppy.

Sasha

And I can craft. I've always wanted to craft.

You have never wanted to craft.

Sasha

Well, I do now. It'll be dirty crafting, but it'll be crafting. And I don't have to go to the gym six days a week. I can even gain three pounds. Think about that!

I'd still love you if you gained five.

Sasha

And I can get a pack of Pekingese to greet me at the door when I come home from not working or working out. And I can feed them from my giant bowl of bonbons.
