Movie Dialogue Sample
How many of you men would like
to handle a woman like that?
650
00:39:28,933 --> 00:39:30,798
- Ooh.
- Two times for me.
651
00:39:30,835 --> 00:39:32,803
Good good.
And ladies,
652
00:39:32,837 --> 00:39:36,466
how many of you would like the power
to drive your man to distraction?
653
00:39:36,507 --> 00:39:38,668
Why are you showing us
what Miss Uptight could do
654
00:39:38,709 --> 00:39:42,008
when she got parents who give her
lessons and the other crap she wants?
655
00:39:42,046 --> 00:39:43,877
- That was not the point.
- Oh, it ain't?
656
00:39:43,914 --> 00:39:46,314
No. You could be
just as good.
657
00:39:46,350 --> 00:39:48,511
If you work at it,
of course.
658
00:39:48,552 --> 00:39:51,282
And for those of you who already
think you'll be good enough,
659
00:39:51,322 --> 00:39:54,018
there is a citywide competition
at the end of the term.
660
00:39:54,058 --> 00:39:56,390
Now, the winning couple
splits $5,000.
661
00:39:56,427 --> 00:39:58,520
Hold on, hold on, are you
talking ducats?
662
00:39:58,562 --> 00:39:59,893
- Uh-huh.
- Five Gs?
663
00:39:59,930 --> 00:40:01,397
- That's right.
- Yeah, I'm with that.
664
00:40:01,432 --> 00:40:03,559
But I thought you said it wasn't
about the money, teach.
665
00:40:03,601 --> 00:40:05,865
Money for dancing?
But only if you're good, right?
666
00:40:05,903 --> 00:40:08,235
Yeah, only if you're good.
667
00:40:08,272 --> 00:40:10,934
- Positions, please.
- Let's get busy.
668
00:40:16,313 --> 00:40:19,441
- Let's review the fox-trot.
- Yo, I thought we were gonna tango.
669
00:40:19,483 --> 00:40:21,383
Oh, no no no no,
the tango must be earned.
670
00:40:21,419 --> 00:40:24,047
You, Mr. Ramos,
cannot handle the tango.
671
00:40:24,088 --> 00:40:26,113
- Yet.
- Ooh-ooh.
672
00:40:28,392 --> 00:40:31,088
Heard you had
a hell of a class today.
673
00:40:31,128 --> 00:40:33,688
I love the tango.
674
00:40:33,731 --> 00:40:35,460
How do you hear
about my class?
675
00:40:35,499 --> 00:40:38,468
I hope you understand
what you're doing, Pierre.
676
00:40:39,670 --> 00:40:41,467
Yes, I understand very well.
677
00:40:41,505 --> 00:40:43,735
Just be careful
of what you're promising.
678
00:40:43,774 --> 00:40:46,470
Everyone is entitled
to a little culture.
679
00:40:46,510 --> 00:40:49,240
To me, dance is like life.
680
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,612
No, that's where you're wrong,
Mr. Dulaine.
681
00:40:51,649 --> 00:40:54,948
Life, for these kids,
is like a fight to stay alive
682
00:40:54,985 --> 00:40:58,887
and a hustle to make ends meet,
not ballroom dancing.
683
00:41:12,703 --> 00:41:15,672
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
thank you very much.
684
00:41:15,706 --> 00:41:17,697
See you on Thursday, okay?
685
00:41:17,741 --> 00:41:19,936
Thank you.
686
00:41:19,977 --> 00:41:21,467
We need to talk schedule
and financing...
687
00:41:21,512 --> 00:41:23,104
- Mr. Dulaine.
- Yeah?
688
00:41:23,781 --> 00:41:26,944
Morgan said the kids you teach uptown
are a bunch of no-talent losers.
689
00:41:26,984 --> 00:41:29,475
Ah, you can't always believe
what Morgan says.
690
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,283
I'd really like
to join them.
691
00:41:31,322 --> 00:41:34,223
# Fall back, get down,
lay down #
692
00:41:34,258 --> 00:41:36,226
# Sit down, stay down,
head round #
693
00:41:36,260 --> 00:41:39,457
# Hey now... does a nigga
wanna get a little off his mind? #
694
00:41:39,497 --> 00:41:42,989
# I'm a nigga
that'll hit a nigga off his time #
695
00:41:43,033 --> 00:41:45,433
# Brains in the air,
flame to the hair #
696
00:41:45,469 --> 00:41:48,267
# 'Cause the game ain't fair,
and I'll take it there #
697
00:41:48,305 --> 00:41:49,738
# With the right one, baby #
698
00:41:49,773 --> 00:41:52,401
# Got that?
We tryin' to light one, baby #
699
00:41:52,443 --> 00:41:53,671
# I run shit here... #
700
00:41:53,711 --> 00:41:55,303
What the hell
are you looking at?
701
00:41:55,346 --> 00:41:57,644
# I run shit here... #
702
00:41:57,681 --> 00:41:59,706
- # If you wanna see me prove it... #
- What?
703
00:41:59,750 --> 00:42:01,741
- She was staring at me.
- # Watch how quick a nigga lose it #
704
00:42:01,785 --> 00:42:03,946
# Make you get all my shit
and have you fearing for your life... #
705
00:42:03,988 --> 00:42:06,980
- The furnace is whacked.
- All right.
706
00:42:07,024 --> 00:42:11,461
Class, this is,
uh, Caitlin Spencer.
707
00:42:11,495 --> 00:42:12,985
She'll be joining us
for the day.
708
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:15,362
Yo, thought we saw
the last of your visitors.
709
00:42:15,399 --> 00:42:17,959
Well, Caitlin is... different.
710
00:42:18,002 --> 00:42:20,266
Think of her as
a foreign exchange student.
711
00:42:20,304 --> 00:42:23,205
Hold on, where did
the equipment come from?
712
00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:24,96
