Black Swan2010

Nina:
I came to ask for the part.

Thomas:
The truth is when I look at you all I see is the white swan. Yes you're beautiful, fearful, and fragile. Ideal casting. But the black swan? It's a hard f***ing job to dance both.

Nina:
I can dance the black swan, too.

Thomas:
Really? In 4 years every time you dance I see you obsessed getting each and every move perfectly right but I never see you lose yourself. Ever! All that discipline for what?

Nina:
[whispers] I just want to be perfect.

Thomas:
What?

Nina:
I want to be perfect.

Thomas:
[scoffs] Perfection is not just about control. It's also about letting go. Surprise yourself so you can surprise the audience. Transcendence! Very few have it in them.

Nina:
I think I do have it in me.
