Step Up

Every second chance begins with a first step.

Tyler Gage:
I'll do it.

Nora:
Do what?

Tyler Gage:
I don't know, whatever y'all trying to do out here...

Nora:
You wanna lift me? Are you kidding?

Tyler Gage:
Does it look like I'm kidding?

Tyler Gage:
Is... is this where you kill me?

Tyler Gage:
What? I'm not late

Nora:
You're not dress either... You can change at the back

Tyler Gage:
I can change here...

[taking off his jacket]

Nora:
I told you to bring tights

Tyler Gage:
Do I look like I own tights?

Nora:
Shoes?

Tyler Gage:
I move better with them

Brett Dolan:
This isn't about me or Miles, Nora. It's about Tyler

Nora:
No, Brett, It's about me

Tyler Gage:
[imitating opera] Figaro. Figaro. Figaaaro.

Miles Darby:
I just like to play with myself.

Lucy Avila:
Oh you make it too easy.

Nora:
So are you gunna ask me to dance?

Tyler Gage:
I didn't know you could dance without your tights!

Tyler Gage:
I'm fighting, for something that's real for the first time in my life!

[last lines]

Nora:
You know what this means, right?

Tyler Gage:
No, what's it mean?

Nora:
You're gonna have to get some tights.

Tyler Gage:
Done.

[He kisses her]

Tyler Gage:
[about a dance Nora imagines] If you imagined it with dancers you should do it!

Nora:
Where am I going to get dancers?

Tyler Gage:
You know, you do go to a school just busting with kids in tights!

Mac Carter:
[after the girl he was making out with leaves because his little brother interrupts them] I swear to God- you must have all the recessive genes in the family!

Mac Carter:
[after Tyler gets in a fight at a party] You feel like because you're a white boy you gotta overcompensate or something?

Tyler Gage:
Wow, like wow, you got me figured out, Montel

Mac Carter:
Yeah, well you're the one going Jerry Springer all the time

Skinny Carter:
Hey, if you're Montel and you're Jerry, then I'm like...

Mac Carter:
Jenny Jones

Tyler Gage:
No, like Ellen

Mac Carter:
Except Ellen gets more chicks than he does!

Miles Darby:
[about Tyler and Nora no longer working together] Man I bet you've been moping around too.

Tyler Gage:
[looking happy] She's been moping?

Miles Darby:
I'm not saying anything

Tyler Gage:
[laughing] Come on man! Tell me, have you seen a tear?

Mac Carter:
[seeing Tyler teaching a bunch of people the dance he and Nora made up] Man, what is this?

Tyler Gage:
It's part of my community service

Skinny Carter:
yo lemme do it this time.

[talking about stealing a car]

Mac Carter:
Skin, you the look out.

Skinny Carter:
But why can't I do it this time?

Tyler Gage:
Can you do it?

Skinny Carter:
Yeah.

Tyler Gage:
Let him do it then.

Mac Carter:
You know what? Here you go tough guy.

[hands him a crow bar to break into the car with]

Mac Carter:
See that one right there. Go get it.

Tyler Gage:
That car's got an alarm on it.

Mac Carter:
I know.

Tyler Gage:
[the car alarm goes off and the boys run away] Dude, I told you that alarm was gonna go off.

Skinny Carter:
Wait a minute. Ya'll set me up?

Tyler Gage:
You shoulda saw your face.

[making fun of Skinny, comparing him to a talk show host]

Tyler Gage:
You're like Ellen.

Mac Carter:
But even she gets more girls than you!

Camille:
Guess what she bought for us. Cap'n crunch. Peanut butter Cap'n crunch. I told you she liked us.

Camille:
[takes bite of cereal]

Tyler Gage:
Let me get a bite of that?

Camille:
Okay. One bite, just one bite.

[Tyler takes the bowl and has a huge bite]

Camille:
That's the biggest bite I've ever seen! Come on! Give it back!

Tyler Gage:
[Tyler takes another bite]

Camille:
Get your own! I spit on that spoon!

[Tyler pushes it back]

Camille:
Oh yeah, now you give it back.

Director Gordon:
And you say that he can dance?

Nora:
He's... adequate.

Tyler Gage:
Adequate?

Director Gordon:
See. That's my concern. He's not taking this seriously.

Tyler Gage:
Look, I'm sorry. It's just... ya'll are talking about dancing like it's rocket science or something.

Nora:
It's just for a couple of weeks. Until Andrew gets better.

Tyler Gage:
Yeah.

Director Gordon:
This would be your risk Nora. It's your Senior piece.

Nora:
I know.

Director Gordon:
Well, don't make me regret my decision.

Nora:
[talking to Tyler] 2:30 tomorrow. Bring your tights.

Tyler Gage:
Tights? Wait. What?

Director Gordon:
See, that's my concern... he's not taking this seriously.

Tyler Gage:
Well, I'm sorry... it's just that you guys talk about dancing like it's rocket science or something.

Lucy Avila:
[talking about Colin] He's sophisticated,a real man.

Miles Darby:
Sophisticated? A real man? Yeah, his butt is gonna be surrounded by sophisticated in jail. How long you had your license? 6 months? 7?

Lucy Avila:
I am very mature for my age. Thank you.

Miles Darby:
Oh yeah,that's great! That's so perfect for the witness stand!

Lucy Avila:
Woo! I love a man in a uniform!

Skinny Carter:
[coming back from playing a basketball game] Man, I was droppin' dimes today!

Mac Carter:
Man, you tripped over your own shoes!

Tyler Gage:
Twice actually, but you rolled outta the second one pretty nice, you played it off pretty cool.

Camille:
Are you going to jail?

Tyler Gage:
No, I'm not going to jail, but they will have to take me to jail if you don't start knocking. Get outta here.

Miles Darby:
I left my G-4 at home.

Tyler Gage:
[coughing] It's in his bag.

Skinny Carter:
So, can I still come to the party?

Mac Carter:
Skinny! Hey come on!

Skinny Carter:
Man, he ain't sayin' nothin' bout me. He said y'all couldn't go to the party. He didn't say nothin' bout Skinny. Nothing!

Mac Carter:
Will you shut up?
