S1 E15Unfinished Business

Hey, did you break your legs?

What?

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

No.

Then what's your damage, Heather?

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.

Why are you freaking out?

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

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.

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.

CConor

[watching a play from the back and making notes] Oh God, shoot me now.

What was wrong with that?

CConor

She's carrying the book in her downstage hand. She does that every time. I correct her every time.

It looks okay to me.

CConor

It's not, okay? It's not.

Director, right?

CConor

And imminent suicide victim. Conor.

Michelle. Hi.

CConor

I wish I was.

Hey, can I ask you a question?

CConor

Sure.

What is this about?

CConor

I have no idea.

No, really.

CConor

No, really. I have no idea. The playwright thinks he's Eugene O'Neill. This is Ed O'Neill.

BBash

I don't really subscribe to the customer-gets-to-choose thing.

Really?

BBash

No.

It's a popular subscription.

BBash

How many coffee-brewing awards do you have?

Twelve.

BBash

I beat the Italians and the French.

I see.

BBash

No one beats the Italians and the French. They have roasts named after them.

Well I'm sure your mother is very proud.

BBash

I have two dads. Don't assume.

[handing Michelle her phone] Here, you're driving me crazy. Use it to call your phone.

It's on vibrate. We won't hear it.

Oh please, vibrate still makes that annoying buzzing sound everyone hears even though we're all supposed to pretend it's silent.

I'll never have coffee again.

Nah.

I'll miss coffee. It smells good. It makes you talk fast. It goes nicely with cake and pie and all your basic baked goods.

Yeah, I'm not really much of a coffee person myself.

So why'd you come to the meeting?

I had a feeling that you might not get much of a turnout, though you could use some back up.

Oh, a boy scout, huh? Helping an old lady across the street?

I like your shirt. [points to her 'Dance Your Ass Off' shirt]

Thanks.

What's it mean?

That you're even younger than I realized.

You need to keep an open mind.

I always have an open mind.

Right. But you need to keep an open mind like other people keep an open mind. With a mind that's actually, you know, open.

Michelle, how many times have I told you my production of "The Nutcracker" is the highlight of my year?

842.

And how many times have I told you that these two weeks of shows make up the bulk of my money for the year?

12,064.

[after Fanny talks about her plans for Montana with Michael] So romantic. I'd be happy to take over while you hang in the mountains with your boyfriend.

Thank you.

Which one of you is going to be Heath Ledger?

You always end the conversation one sentence too late.

[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?

Dancers don't eat candy bars.

Yeah right. Suzanne Farrell was sixty percent caramel.

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?

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.

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]

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.

It's my zombie apocalypse vegas slut bag. I take it with me to every performance with me always. It has everything you would need in any sort of situation- Money, power bars, water, flaxseed oil, bobby pins, hair spray, ponytail holders, boob tape so your- on your boobs, don't look so hello.

I know what boob tape does.

...Condoms, handcuffs, handcuff keys.

You're like an X-rated Mary Poppins.

Then of course band-Aids, ace bandage, rape whistle, disposable cellphone, lipstick case you can hide some cyanide in, pretty mace...

Pretty mace?

Yep, mace that comes in a pretty little shiny bottle that if I pulled it out would say to the zombie apocalypse mugger, "don't be afraid of my pretty shiny bottle. It won't do anything but blind you!"

Good lord.

Oh and here, eyelash glue. And junior mints. 'Cause seriously, why not?

You're on the basketball team.

Was on the basketball team.

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.

I hear you.

I'm Roman.

I thought your name was Tyler.

Roman's my middle name.

It works better with the hair.

That's the thought process.

So what are you in for?

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

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

Wow!
