Roman Davidoff : But you do know the evaluation is free? So... take a chance? You never know, you might surprise yourself.
Avery : Yeah, I think I, um... Think I've had enough surprises lately. Thanks anyway.
-
Avery : So, when is your next opening? I mean... I would have called, but...
Roman Davidoff : No-one answers?
Avery : Right.
Roman Davidoff : You could leave a message.
Avery : It's just not an efficient way to run a business.
Roman Davidoff : We do just fine, thank you. Little trade secret - no dance studio ever answers their phones, we're too busy dancing or teaching.
Avery : It's not very efficient.
Roman Davidoff : I can take you in an hour. Efficient enough for you?

Roman Davidoff : Ok, well, the follower starts with the right foot, back, side, together, and then left, side, together. And repeat. Back...
Avery : Who's the follower?
Roman Davidoff : You are.
Avery : Why am I the follower?
Roman Davidoff : Because I lead.
Avery : Why, because you're the guy?
Roman Davidoff : No. If you want to lead, I'm fine with that. Takes longer to learn and you said you were busy, but... By all means, lead away.
Avery : Uh... Ok, i'm... I'm gonna be the follower.
Roman Davidoff : Thank you.
-
Roman Davidoff : This is your frame, ok? Keep your frame. Ok? And, not too stiff.
Avery : But you said keep my frame.
Roman Davidoff : Yes, but you're like a corpse.
Avery : I am not!
Roman Davidoff : Don't argue with the teacher!
-
Roman Davidoff : Are you going to throw that at me?
Avery : I don't know.
Roman Davidoff : I have to warn you, I have lightning dancer reflexes, so you won't be able to... Ooooh...
-
Doctor : Let's get you up and see how your balance is.
Roman Davidoff : Ok. Thank you.
Avery : Whoa...
Roman Davidoff : Um... I seem to have forgotten how to stand. Please don't tell anyone. I'm supposed to be - a ballroom champion.
-
Avery : Oh... ok, well, the doctor said that you needed to be closely monitored, so I will, um... Come back first thing in the morning and check on you.
Roman Davidoff : No, that really isn't necessary.
Avery : If you don't wake up, who's going to teach me how to dance?
Roman Davidoff : You do know that teaching you to dance is more painful than a concussion?
Avery : I don't have a comeback for that. Fine!
-
Avery : I'm sorry, I'm just, uh... Wow, I don't know where all this emotion is coming from. Now I'm crying in front of a total stranger and I'm just mortified. I'm gonna go.
Roman Davidoff : Avery, come on. Don't give up.
Avery : I-I don't give up. On anything. But this is an elective activity, and I just... I don't do failure as a hobby, so... Thank you so much for trying.
