Faith, Hope & Love (2019) - full transcript
Recent divorcee Faith enters a dance contest to save her dance studio, where she meets Jimmy Hope and rediscovers her faith and dreams.
[light music]
[light dramatic music]
[man] I can
almost guarantee you,
at some point in your life,
you will be asked
the following question:
Do you believe in God?
Now for me, the answer
is undoubtedly, yes.
How did I come to
that conclusion?
Well, it involves some faith,
some hope and some love.
Oh, yeah. [chuckles]
And some dancing.
What, you don't believe me?
Sit back, 'cause we
about to hit ya, one time.

[church bells ringing]
Father?
[light music]
Oh, Demetra.
Well, is everything all right?
I'm fine. I'm just
worried about my dad.
Well, he seems okay to me.
-[whistle blowing]
-[kids talking over each other]
Big doll, hey,
hit me one time.
-[boy] Over here.
-[girl] Time is running out.
[boy] Oh, he's gonna pass!
Oh, yeah, I guess I
wasn't too good, was it?
[chuckling]
I woke up on Sunday and
saw him crying downstairs.
That was your mom's
three-year memorial service.
I've seen him cry
other times too.
Well, you want
me to talk to him?
No, I need you to talk to God.
Well, what would you
like me to tell God?
Well, this studio I dance at
is having a fundraiser tonight.
It's for a pro and
schmo dance contest.
I want my dad to enter.
So you want your father
to enter this contest
so he starts to
get out a bit, huh?
Well, yeah, and
my dance instructor
would be the person
he'd be dancing with.
I think he'd be happy
if he gets to know her.
I'll say a prayer,
and we'll leave
everything else up to God, okay?
[man] Hey, hon, I was
wondering where you went.
Ah, she's all set.
Okay, come on sweetie.
Everything okay?
Hey, hey, gang.
Sorry, I can't make it tonight.
I gotta go
to a school fundraiser.
You know, I'm not
keeping track or anything,
but you missed the last
two days of Bible studies.
How would you know, Harry?
We didn't go either.
Ah, I got my
sources, people talk.
All right, Mr. Keratas.
I'll make sure I'm
here next week, okay?
Just saying.
He keeps attendance.
All right, all right.
Who was that?
♪ I must confess
when our world is stressed ♪
♪ I feel like dancing ♪
♪ The whole night with you ♪
♪ And when I do,
do, do, do, do, do ♪
So, I hear your studio
needs to be rescued.
Well, we have to
get the building
retrofitted or the city
will close us down.
If we win the contest,
the $25,000 will help us
retrofit the building.
So, you and me tangoing
for a couple of months.
Practicing.
Whatever anyone bids, put
me down for 100 over it.
Mm-hmm.
-Hi.
-It's Gerald Hogwood II.
He's Daddy Hog One.
-Hi.
-Howdy.
Yeah, I'm his Daddy
and his dance advisor.
Why don't you show her
a little something, Hog II.
Okay, check this out.
It's like 180 degrees,
that split right there.
Left leg pointing
towards Los Angeles,
right foot to New York.
Grand plie, whoa, whoa, didn't
even spill a drop of wine.
-Yeah.
-Okay.
-And we've got
killer choreography.
Great, thank you.
Thank you so much.
-Zip-a-dee-doo-dah.
-Hello.
-I'm Jimmy Elpidas.
-Hi.
I'm Demetra and Gia's dad.
Right, right, I'm Faith.
Oh, nice to meet you.
I think I've waved
to you a couple times
when I drop them off
at their classes.
Demetra wanted me
to sign up for this.
So I'm, you know...
She's a wonderful girl.
-Ah, thank you.
-[bell chiming]
Oh, guess dinner's starting.
Anyway, good luck with this.
-Thank you.
-Oh.
You came to wife's
funeral, didn't you?
I did, I was
sorry for your loss.
Thank you, it was
very kind of you.
I meant to write you
a note, but just...
It was a beautiful
service, so...
Anyway, good luck.
Thank you.
[snapping]
You got it.
[light music]
Gia, it's daddy.
I need to finish
proofing my personal statement.
No, no, come on, go
to bed, I'll do it for you.
Hi, Daddy, did
you win the prize?
Ah, no, I didn't, honey.
I tried, but somebody
else beat me out for it.
No, no, that's not the way
it was supposed to happen.
Come on, get some sleep, okay?
Good night, you guys.
I love you.
All right.
A little tweaking
won't hurt, would it?
Gia, let's go, we're
gonna be late for school.
I don't even know
why I try putting it on.
I hate my makeup.
Ah, good morning, Gia.
All right, guys, come on.
Quick prayer before we go.
[phone ringing]
Hold on.
Yeah. Really?
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, I know,
thanks, thanks.
Who was that?
The guy who won
the dance contest.
His wife told him that
she didn't want him being in
it, so he had to give it back.
So who won it then?
They're gonna
have a dance-off
tomorrow between me
and the other guy,
that were the two top bidders.
I can't believe I'm a senior,
and you're still
dropping me off.
Ooh, there's Gia's boyfriend.
-Don't.
-Oh, really?
-Goodbye, Dad.
-Oh, my gosh.
Hello, George.
-Hello, George.
-Stop!
Bye. Anybody say
I love you to Dad?
No, no, they forget
that I guess, okay.
-[indistinct chattering]
-[bell ringing]
[woman] Bye, sweetie.
[Jimmy] Every morning
at drop-off,
I watch a beautiful ballet,
where the ballerinas
are the mothers.
With tenderness, love
and grace, they move
across the parking lot.
As they remember lunches,
tuck away homework
and dispense love.
Yes, father's do their part,
but it's the mothers
who are the stars.
They know the steps.
They hear the music.
They don't miss a beat.
I miss my ballerina.
[pounding on door]
It's me.
I can see you. You don't
need to pound like that.
I'm sorry, you ready?
-For what?
-For the presentation?
What?
That's Thursday, isn't it?
Oh, my gosh, Jimmy,
are you kidding?
Oh, no, I'll get it changed.
I've done it before,
no worries, no worries.
Okay, okay, I got it, I got it.
Okay, come on, let's go.
All right then, anybody else?
-Yeah.
-Jimmy?
Can we move the Crown Guitar
presentation to next week?
The date's already
been moved, thank you.
Oh, cool.
So unless there's
anything else, anybody?
No?
All right, thank you.
-All right.
-Thank you.
Uh, Jimmy.
You wanna hang
back for a minute?
Yeah.
-What's up?
-All right, listen.
Look, I've taken
a look at your numbers,
and the... well, the truth is,
you haven't made your numbers
for the last couple of years.
Your quota's way down,
and you're even messing up
the bloopers that
I've been giving you.
I am super appreciative
of everything
that you've done around here.
But?
But I have to let you go.
-[somber music]
-What?
You need to let me go?
I've been here 22 years,
Brian, you're gonna let me go?
Security will walk
you to your desk.
And you're gonna make me
do a perp walk on top of it?
-It's protocol.
-Are you kidding me?
Really, Brian, really?
[sighs]
[kids giggling]
[man] Good afternoon,
how can I direct your call?
-Brian, Brian.
-Ah, come on, Jimmy.
Come on, what are
you doing here?
Give me one more chance.
I don't have anymore chances.
Look, I know I haven't been
on top of my game lately.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
on top of your game?
You haven't been in
the game for years.
Look, man, we all feel bad
about what happened to Debbie,
but that was three years ago.
Three years, Jim.
Give me one account.
-I can't.
-Anything.
Jimmy, come on.
I got two girls, okay?
Give me your worst account.
The worst account,
if I don't make the sale,
you get rid of me,
no questions asked.
-You're not gonna like it.
-Try me.
-Soul 2Soul.
-Ugh, I hate it.
Of course you do.
It's a dating website, me?
After our last presentation,
they canceled on us.
It's all I got.
You get them to come back in
here, commit to a campaign,
and we can talk about
your future around here.
That's it.
-Brian.
-It's a take it
-or leave it, Jim.
-Okay.
[phone ringing]
-Demetra, what's up?
-Daddy, where are you?
I'm at work, what's going on?
Did you forget the dance-off?
Oh, no, no, okay.
I'll be right there, sweetie,
I'll be right there.
Hurry, the other guy
is starting,
and he looks really prepared.
All right, show
'em the magic, son.
-Jimmy?
-Yeah.
I'm Coretta, go on it.
[Jimmy] Okay, thanks.
[door squeaking]
Really?
Really?
Come on, man, come on.
The show already began.
I lost my concentration.
I'm gonna take it from the top.
[Faith] Okay.
You know, I've
seen Baryshnikov
stop a ballet dead in
its tracks because somebody
in the audience sneezed.
Don't be the sneeze.
Papa, cue music.
♪ You don't know ♪
Come on, come on.
♪ Whoa, whoa ♪
♪ What I need ♪
♪ What I need ♪
Get it up.
Whoa, yeah.
[woman singing]
[applause]
No, not yet!
Oh, yes!
Oh, they don't make
'em like that anymore.
-Good luck topping that.
-Ooh, yeah.
Wow, that's
a tough act to follow.
Um, I didn't bring any music.
Amateur.
For the competition,
the partners cannot have
had any prior dance
experience, okay?
I have no prior
dance experience.
Although, in college, they
did call me Funkenstein.
Frankenstein, you mean?
No, no, no, Funkenstein.
but everyone thought
that I was Jewish,
Everyone, I'm Greek,
and so they called me Stein.
And then I took second place
in my fraternity dance contest.
So they started calling me
"funk" and "stein," Funkenstein.
That's a great story, can
you tell it again longer?
Okay, listen, I just
need to see how you move.
Okay, let 'er rip.
-[upbeat music]
-[chuckling]
Hey, Baryshnikov.
[Faith] How about the twist?
The twist.
[Faith] Good, anything else?
Anybody remember
the Charleston?
My dead grandmother.
Grandma's dead?
-You stay focused.
-Yeah.
Who remembers this bad boy?
Oh.
Have you got any kicks?
I got kicks all day long.
Are you kidding me?
Ho, hey, ho.
I'm like a regular Rockette.
-Sorry.
-That was on purpose.
It was intentional.
-Back here, stay focused.
-It was premeditated.
Okay, are you okay?
Crud, crud, yeah,
just a little cramp.
Okay, um, all right.
Listen up, guys,
this is my decision.
Will you accept this rose?
-Thank you.
-That's very nice of you.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
They're gonna become great
dance partners and fall in love.
Thank you.
Dad, can I have a sleepover
at the Henderlinds tomorrow?
Oh, honey, you know the rules.
No sleepovers.
Everyone does sleepovers.
You're the strictest parent.
[sighing]
Aw, man.
How am I doing?
[chuckling]
[sighing]
Man.
You made it all look so easy.
I'm in trouble at work.
I don't feel it anymore.
[sighs]
I miss you.
[light dramatic music]
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You're not gonna do that,
you're not gonna do that.
Hey, morning, Jimmy.
Are you hurt?
Oh, no, I think I
just pulled something.
Doing what?
Uh, squats.
Squats, oh, not a fan.
Yeah, I probably went
a little too heavy.
Hey, you start working
on that Soul 2Soul ASAP,
-you got it?
-Yeah, yeah.
I'm totally focused on it.
[humming]
Hey, Coretta.
Oh, hey, Jimmy.
And she's finishing
up her last class.
Oh, okay.
You know, if you ever
get here before she does,
there's a key under
the mat in the front.
All right, thank you.
Who's that?
Ben, her ex.
Great dancer, lousy husband.
You know,
when they got divorced,
the only thing she asked
for was this studio.
The most important thing that
I will ever, ever teach you
is to let the pure joy,
the happiness, the heartache,
the sorrow, whatever you
are feeling for that day,
pour out of your souls
when you dance.
Because that is
why we dance, okay?
Now, did everybody bring
their sunglasses today.
[all] Yeah!
Get those shades
ready, ladies.
We are going across the floor.

Once a week we cut loose.
It's kinda my favorite day.
Cool shirt.
-Oh.
-What do you letters mean?
Uh...
[speaking foreign language]
This changed the world.
Seriously?
-Yeah.
-Okay.
Do you wanna
know what it means?
No, no, no,
I'll figure it out.
-I'll figure it out.
-[Jimmy] All right.
Okay, so this is how
the competition works.
All right.
Each couple submits
their best dance.
Off-tape the judges narrow
it down to ten couples,
and they'll dance
the finals live.
-Okay.
-Okay?
Typically the man leads,
but given you're the schmo
in the partnership,
I'll be doing the leading.
All right.
Is that hard for you to do?
No, not at all. I always lead
every one of my partners.
Okay.
-So do you feel this?
-Yeah.
That's how I'm
gonna be leading you.
-Okay.
-It's that push and pull.
-Okay.
Now, let's start with
some basic moves, okay?
-Very, very basic.
-All right.
This is called a pique turn.
Pique turn.
-Okay, I can give that a shot.
-Okay?
I'll give it a shot.
-I'll give it a shot.
-Have a go.
No pressure.
[chuckling]
Posture, elbow.
Posture, elbow, okay.
How was that?
Good, you know.
-Honestly?
-Horrible.
-Oh, gee, that looks ominous.
-Okay, this is going
to help with your posture.
All right.
Um, up and over, okay.
I feel like a scarecrow.
Well, we'll need
to get you into
some tight clothing too, okay?
You know, I'm kinda a
sweatshirts and jeans kinda guy.
Well, the judges like
to see clean lines, so...
All right.
How do you feel about
taking some ballet classes?
Yeah, I'm gonna be
totally honest with you.
I'm not gonna take
ballet classes.
I'm probably never gonna
wear this thing, you know?
Anything else?
Uh, no spray tans
and none of those,
you know, butt shakin'
moves that you guys do.
Hey, I won many a contest
with those butt shaking moves.
So what's your favorite dance?
I love them all, you know,
when I can do it.
Really, oh, that's impressive.
Okay, whatever dance we do,
you have to sell it.
The judges love the push
and the pull of the dance.
-Uh-huh.
-Okay?
So that means that we get close,
we go apart, we get close again.
Oh.
That is close.
That's the whole point of it.
Dancers get close,
but we never kiss.
The judges love it.
We're gonna get higher scores.
You just gotta
really sell it, okay?
Just give a little
bang, pow, what!
You know what I mean?
Bang, pow, what.
Yeah, okay, hold on, hold on.
You know, I think,
with all this stuff,
it's just kinda like
a little information overload.
Okay, all right.
-Maybe.
-Well, let's take
-a dinner break.
-Yeah, let's do that.
-And I'll go over
everything with you.
-Okay.
Okay, so I think
the IC on your shirt
is roman numerals for 101.
Am I right?
You're not even close.
-You're not even close.
-Come on.
Okay, I'll figure it out.
But first thing's first.
-Okay.
-We need to come up with
a great team name.
Okay.
Next, we need to practice
as much as possible.
So, what's your schedule like?
Uh, well, every Friday I
have Bible study, and then Gia
has prom next month,
so that'll be kinda busy.
Oh, that'll be so much fun.
I never went to my prom.
Really, why not?
I had issues and kinda
wasn't meant to be.
But actually, they
just announced
the high school reunion
is gonna be next month.
Oh, cool.
But I'm probably
not gonna go though.
Why not?
Bad memories.
There was this girl Susie,
and she made my life hell
in high school.
She was on the dance squad.
I got cut from the dance squad,
so she just always thought she
was a better dancer than me.
Hmm.
Anyway, what's
your work schedule like?
Uh, well, I just
got this huge new
client presentation
I gotta work on.
Oh, what's it for?
It's a dating website
called Soul 2Soul.
Oh, I've never
heard of that one,
and I'm on every single site.
You're on every
dating website?
Mm-hmm.
I got divorced a year ago.
So I thought I should
get back out there.
Oh, good for you.
Any... any luck?
Well, I get asked out
on a lot of first dates
but not a lot of second dates.
I am just horrible at dating.
And I'm super shy.
But you know the problem
with dating websites?
What's that?
They never really let
you get to know the person.
It's all about checking
a ton of boxes,
and what they should have
are videos of the people,
you know, answering
questions about themselves.
Hm, thank you.
Not a bad idea.
Do you mind if I
say a quick prayer?
Oh, no, go ahead.
Heavenly Father, we
thank you for this food,
and Lord, I thank you for
this fellowship with Faith,
and in particular, Father,
I ask that whatever's
on Faith's heart
that you grant it.
In your son's name I pray, amen.
Did I just totally
mess that up?
What?
Was I meant to hold your
hands during the prayer?
Oh, no, no, no.
See, some of my friends,
when we pray, they hold hands.
Some don't. I never know
which it's gonna be,
so I put my hands out
there, duck the head,
I don't know
what's gonna happen.
-I just...
I just say the prayer.
-Okay.
Phew, okay, great. Yeah.
No, no, you're fine,
you're fine, enjoy your food.
Thank you.
Hey, hey, I came up
with your team name.
Okay.
The Premonitions.
The Premonitions?
Like when you see the future?
Yeah. Like when I was 19,
I was gettin' my hair done,
and the stylist told me
that she had a premonition
that one day a man
would walk in the room
and the moment I saw him,
that I would pass out.
And bam, it would be my husband.
And?
It never happened.
Well, wait, wait, wait, I
guess that was a bad example.
But it would have
been a premonition.
The Premonitions.
I'm gonna think
about that one, Coretta.
[chuckling]
Hey, when you go to church
and they say
the word "fellowship,"
what exactly does that mean?
Well, it just means
spending time together
and forming friendships.
-It doesn't mean, like,
dating or anything, right?
-Oh, no, no, no.
I just don't wanna give Jimmy
any mixed signals, you know?
I don't need another
dance romance.
I know that's right.
Well, well, why?
What did Jimmy say?
Well, he was
praying before we ate,
and he said something
about fellowship
and God helping me with
whatever's on my heart.
You know that
voice inside you?
Some people call it conscience.
We call it God.
And God puts something on
your heart, and you know it's
the right thing to do.
But you may be afraid to do it.
That's when something's
on your heart.
Okay, well, I just
wanted to make sure.
Well, now remember, you
only have one month left
to get your submission dance in.
Okay, okay,
I'm gonna get on that.
All right.

-[phone ringing]
Hey, Gia, what's up?
[Gia] Hey, Dad, since
I'm not sleeping over at
the Henderlinds, can I stay
out till midnight tonight?
No, no, 11:30, as usual.
It's not the greatest,
but the deadline is tonight.
-No, Gia, no, no
-[Gia] Everyone else's parents
don't have a problem with it.
It's saying try again later.
Everyone must be trying
to upload at the deadline.
Oh, don't worry
about it. I've got it.
I'm gonna be here. I'll make
sure that it goes through.
No, it's okay, I'm gonna
stick around tonight.
I'll do it.
Well, aren't you going
to your high school reunion?
-No, no.
-Why not?
It feels weird going alone.
-I don't wanna do it.
-You can go with my daddy.
Oh, I don't think
he's gonna want to.
Your sister just hung
the phone up on me.
She is so grounded.
Daddy, if I asked you for
a favor, would you do it?
Coretta even got us a driver
in case we wanted to drink.
[twangy music]
♪ I love ya, darlin' ♪
-I'm so glad you're here.
-Oh, my God, Faith.
How are you? I almost
didn't recognize you.
Hi, Susie.
Um, this is my husband, William.
You from our class?
No, no, I'm just
here with Faith Turley.
-Oh, really?
-Yeah.
Man, I used to think
she was so pretty.
She wasn't around much.
Really, why?
Oh, she had one of those
eating disorders or something.
She dropped out at one point.
That girl, Susie,
she used to pick on her.
Are you and Ben still?
No, we're divorced, last year.
Oh, that is so sad.
Any kids?
No, no.
[Susie] That makes it easier.
Ooh, they're pullin'
the time capsule.
Gotta do my thing.
-Nice to meet ya, man.
-Yeah, nice to meet you too.
All right, time to
do this time capsule.
[crowd cheering]
Hey, so uh, whatever happened
to that little dance
studio you had?
I heard they're closing it.
It's still open, we're
just retrofitting it.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, let's go.
-Okay, bye.
-Bye.
Bye.

"Faith will finally admit
that I was a better
dancer than she was."

Oh, and they're supposed
to have a dance-off
for this here trophy.
I hear ya say, "Susie, Faith."
Hey, somebody get
Susie and Faith.
Hey, you leaving already?
They just challenged
her to a dance-off.
Faith, are you sure you
don't wanna go back in there?
Nah, she'll just do something
to embarrass me again.

Took one for the team there.
Oh, my gosh, we
should've got that on tape.
I taped everything.
I'll download a copy
and email it to you.
[both] Coretta.
Did you upload our dance?
Well, I've been
trying for hours.
I finally got it to work.
Well, what are you doing?
Move.
You gonna miss the deadline.
No, no, no, no.

-[body thudding]

Oh, my goodness,
what happened?
-Give me your cellphone.
-Is she okay?
She's fine, she's fine.
You two are probably
gonna get married.
Her name is Coretta,
and she had a premonition
about you years ago.
You know, I'm
thinkin' we don't use
the Premonition
name for our team.
It's kinda freaking
me out a little bit.
-We did it.
-Yes!
We're gonna know in 24 hours.
Hit me one time.
Hit me one time.
[indistinct chattering]
Hi, Mr. Elpidas.
I just wanted to go over
Gia's personal statement
for her college
application with you.
Oh, okay.
First of all, Gia
needs to explain
why she got a C in
geometry her freshman year.
Wow, I think that's the only
C she got in all high school.
Top tier schools don't
wanna see even one C.
Okay.
[light dramatic music]
[man] I can
almost guarantee you,
at some point in your life,
you will be asked
the following question:
Do you believe in God?
Now for me, the answer
is undoubtedly, yes.
How did I come to
that conclusion?
Well, it involves some faith,
some hope and some love.
Oh, yeah. [chuckles]
And some dancing.
What, you don't believe me?
Sit back, 'cause we
about to hit ya, one time.

Well, is everything all right?
I'm fine. I'm just
worried about my dad.
Well, he seems okay to me.

[boy] Oh, he's gonna pass!
Oh, yeah, I guess I
wasn't too good, was it?
[chuckling]
I woke up on Sunday and
saw him crying downstairs.
That was your mom's
three-year memorial service.
I've seen him cry
other times too.
Well, you want
me to talk to him?
No, I need you to talk to God.
Well, what would you
like me to tell God?
Well, this studio I dance at
is having a fundraiser tonight.
It's for a pro and
schmo dance contest.
I want my dad to enter.
So you want your father
to enter this contest
so he starts to
get out a bit, huh?
Well, yeah, and
my dance instructor
would be the person
he'd be dancing with.
I think he'd be happy
if he gets to know her.
I'll say a prayer,
and we'll leave
everything else up to God, okay?
[man] Hey, hon, I was
wondering where you went.
Ah, she's all set.
Okay, come on sweetie.
Everything okay?
Hey, hey, gang.
Sorry, I can't make it tonight.
I gotta go
to a school fundraiser.
You know, I'm not
keeping track or anything,
but you missed the last
two days of Bible studies.
How would you know, Harry?
We didn't go either.
Ah, I got my
sources, people talk.
All right, Mr. Keratas.
I'll make sure I'm
here next week, okay?
Just saying.
He keeps attendance.
All right, all right.

needs to be rescued.
Well, we have to
get the building
retrofitted or the city
will close us down.
If we win the contest,
the $25,000 will help us
retrofit the building.
So, you and me tangoing
for a couple of months.
Practicing.
Whatever anyone bids, put
me down for 100 over it.
Mm-hmm.
-Hi.
-It's Gerald Hogwood II.
He's Daddy Hog One.
-Hi.
-Howdy.
Yeah, I'm his Daddy
and his dance advisor.
Why don't you show her
a little something, Hog II.
Okay, check this out.
It's like 180 degrees,
that split right there.

towards Los Angeles,
right foot to New York.

even spill a drop of wine.
-Yeah.
-Okay.
-And we've got
killer choreography.
Great, thank you.
Thank you so much.
-Zip-a-dee-doo-dah.
-Hello.
-I'm Jimmy Elpidas.
-Hi.
I'm Demetra and Gia's dad.
Right, right, I'm Faith.
Oh, nice to meet you.
I think I've waved
to you a couple times
when I drop them off
at their classes.
Demetra wanted me
to sign up for this.
So I'm, you know...
She's a wonderful girl.
-Ah, thank you.
-[bell chiming]
Oh, guess dinner's starting.
Anyway, good luck with this.
-Thank you.
-Oh.
You came to wife's
funeral, didn't you?
I did, I was
sorry for your loss.
Thank you, it was
very kind of you.
I meant to write you
a note, but just...
It was a beautiful
service, so...
Anyway, good luck.
Thank you.
[snapping]
You got it.
[light music]
Gia, it's daddy.
I need to finish
proofing my personal statement.
No, no, come on, go
to bed, I'll do it for you.
Hi, Daddy, did
you win the prize?
Ah, no, I didn't, honey.
I tried, but somebody
else beat me out for it.
No, no, that's not the way
it was supposed to happen.
Come on, get some sleep, okay?
Good night, you guys.
I love you.
All right.
A little tweaking
won't hurt, would it?
Gia, let's go, we're
gonna be late for school.
I don't even know
why I try putting it on.
I hate my makeup.
Ah, good morning, Gia.
All right, guys, come on.
Quick prayer before we go.
[phone ringing]
Hold on.
Yeah. Really?
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, I know,
thanks, thanks.
Who was that?
The guy who won
the dance contest.
His wife told him that
she didn't want him being in
it, so he had to give it back.
So who won it then?
They're gonna
have a dance-off
tomorrow between me
and the other guy,
that were the two top bidders.
I can't believe I'm a senior,
and you're still
dropping me off.
Ooh, there's Gia's boyfriend.
-Don't.
-Oh, really?
-Goodbye, Dad.
-Oh, my gosh.
Hello, George.
-Hello, George.
-Stop!
Bye. Anybody say
I love you to Dad?
No, no, they forget
that I guess, okay.
-[indistinct chattering]
-[bell ringing]
[woman] Bye, sweetie.
[Jimmy] Every morning
at drop-off,
I watch a beautiful ballet,
where the ballerinas
are the mothers.
With tenderness, love
and grace, they move
across the parking lot.
As they remember lunches,
tuck away homework
and dispense love.
Yes, father's do their part,
but it's the mothers
who are the stars.
They know the steps.
They hear the music.
They don't miss a beat.
I miss my ballerina.
[pounding on door]
It's me.
I can see you. You don't
need to pound like that.
I'm sorry, you ready?
-For what?
-For the presentation?
What?
That's Thursday, isn't it?
Oh, my gosh, Jimmy,
are you kidding?
Oh, no, I'll get it changed.
I've done it before,
no worries, no worries.
Okay, okay, I got it, I got it.
Okay, come on, let's go.
All right then, anybody else?
-Yeah.
-Jimmy?
Can we move the Crown Guitar
presentation to next week?
The date's already
been moved, thank you.
Oh, cool.
So unless there's
anything else, anybody?
No?
All right, thank you.
-All right.
-Thank you.
Uh, Jimmy.
You wanna hang
back for a minute?
Yeah.
-What's up?
-All right, listen.
Look, I've taken
a look at your numbers,
and the... well, the truth is,
you haven't made your numbers
for the last couple of years.
Your quota's way down,
and you're even messing up
the bloopers that
I've been giving you.
I am super appreciative
of everything
that you've done around here.
But?
But I have to let you go.
-[somber music]
-What?
You need to let me go?
I've been here 22 years,
Brian, you're gonna let me go?
Security will walk
you to your desk.
And you're gonna make me
do a perp walk on top of it?
-It's protocol.
-Are you kidding me?
Really, Brian, really?
[sighs]
[kids giggling]
[man] Good afternoon,
how can I direct your call?
-Brian, Brian.
-Ah, come on, Jimmy.
Come on, what are
you doing here?
Give me one more chance.
I don't have anymore chances.
Look, I know I haven't been
on top of my game lately.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
on top of your game?
You haven't been in
the game for years.
Look, man, we all feel bad
about what happened to Debbie,
but that was three years ago.
Three years, Jim.
Give me one account.
-I can't.
-Anything.
Jimmy, come on.
I got two girls, okay?
Give me your worst account.
The worst account,
if I don't make the sale,
you get rid of me,
no questions asked.
-You're not gonna like it.
-Try me.
-Soul 2Soul.
-Ugh, I hate it.
Of course you do.
It's a dating website, me?
After our last presentation,
they canceled on us.
It's all I got.
You get them to come back in
here, commit to a campaign,
and we can talk about
your future around here.
That's it.
-Brian.
-It's a take it
-or leave it, Jim.
-Okay.
[phone ringing]
-Demetra, what's up?
-Daddy, where are you?
I'm at work, what's going on?
Did you forget the dance-off?
Oh, no, no, okay.
I'll be right there, sweetie,
I'll be right there.
Hurry, the other guy
is starting,
and he looks really prepared.
All right, show
'em the magic, son.
-Jimmy?
-Yeah.
I'm Coretta, go on it.
[Jimmy] Okay, thanks.
[door squeaking]
Really?
Really?
Come on, man, come on.
The show already began.
I lost my concentration.
I'm gonna take it from the top.
[Faith] Okay.
You know, I've
seen Baryshnikov
stop a ballet dead in
its tracks because somebody
in the audience sneezed.
Don't be the sneeze.
Papa, cue music.

[woman singing]
[applause]
No, not yet!
Oh, yes!
Oh, they don't make
'em like that anymore.
-Good luck topping that.
-Ooh, yeah.
Wow, that's
a tough act to follow.
Um, I didn't bring any music.
Amateur.
For the competition,
the partners cannot have
had any prior dance
experience, okay?
I have no prior
dance experience.
Although, in college, they
did call me Funkenstein.
Frankenstein, you mean?
No, no, no, Funkenstein.
but everyone thought
that I was Jewish,
Everyone, I'm Greek,
and so they called me Stein.
And then I took second place
in my fraternity dance contest.
So they started calling me
"funk" and "stein," Funkenstein.
That's a great story, can
you tell it again longer?
Okay, listen, I just
need to see how you move.
Okay, let 'er rip.
-[upbeat music]
-[chuckling]
Hey, Baryshnikov.
[Faith] How about the twist?
The twist.
[Faith] Good, anything else?
Anybody remember
the Charleston?
My dead grandmother.
Grandma's dead?
-You stay focused.
-Yeah.
Who remembers this bad boy?
Oh.
Have you got any kicks?
I got kicks all day long.
Are you kidding me?
Ho, hey, ho.
I'm like a regular Rockette.
-Sorry.
-That was on purpose.
It was intentional.
-Back here, stay focused.
-It was premeditated.
Okay, are you okay?
Crud, crud, yeah,
just a little cramp.
Okay, um, all right.
Listen up, guys,
this is my decision.
Will you accept this rose?
-Thank you.
-That's very nice of you.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
They're gonna become great
dance partners and fall in love.
Thank you.
Dad, can I have a sleepover
at the Henderlinds tomorrow?
Oh, honey, you know the rules.
No sleepovers.
Everyone does sleepovers.
You're the strictest parent.
[sighing]
Aw, man.
How am I doing?
[chuckling]
[sighing]
Man.
You made it all look so easy.
I'm in trouble at work.
I don't feel it anymore.
[sighs]
I miss you.
[light dramatic music]
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You're not gonna do that,
you're not gonna do that.
Hey, morning, Jimmy.
Are you hurt?
Oh, no, I think I
just pulled something.
Doing what?
Uh, squats.
Squats, oh, not a fan.
Yeah, I probably went
a little too heavy.
Hey, you start working
on that Soul 2Soul ASAP,
-you got it?
-Yeah, yeah.
I'm totally focused on it.
[humming]
Hey, Coretta.
Oh, hey, Jimmy.
And she's finishing
up her last class.
Oh, okay.
You know, if you ever
get here before she does,
there's a key under
the mat in the front.
All right, thank you.
Who's that?
Ben, her ex.
Great dancer, lousy husband.
You know,
when they got divorced,
the only thing she asked
for was this studio.
The most important thing that
I will ever, ever teach you
is to let the pure joy,
the happiness, the heartache,
the sorrow, whatever you
are feeling for that day,
pour out of your souls
when you dance.
Because that is
why we dance, okay?
Now, did everybody bring
their sunglasses today.
[all] Yeah!
Get those shades
ready, ladies.

Uh...
[speaking foreign language]
This changed the world.
Seriously?
-Yeah.
-Okay.
Do you wanna
know what it means?
No, no, no,
I'll figure it out.
-I'll figure it out.
-[Jimmy] All right.
Okay, so this is how
the competition works.
All right.
Each couple submits
their best dance.
Off-tape the judges narrow
it down to ten couples,
and they'll dance
the finals live.
-Okay.
-Okay?
Typically the man leads,
but given you're the schmo
in the partnership,
I'll be doing the leading.
All right.
Is that hard for you to do?
No, not at all. I always lead
every one of my partners.
Okay.
-So do you feel this?
-Yeah.
That's how I'm
gonna be leading you.
-Okay.
-It's that push and pull.
-Okay.
Now, let's start with
some basic moves, okay?
-Very, very basic.
-All right.
This is called a pique turn.
Pique turn.
-Okay, I can give that a shot.
-Okay?
I'll give it a shot.
-I'll give it a shot.
-Have a go.
No pressure.
[chuckling]
Posture, elbow.
Posture, elbow, okay.
How was that?
Good, you know.
-Honestly?
-Horrible.
-Oh, gee, that looks ominous.
-Okay, this is going
to help with your posture.
All right.
Um, up and over, okay.
I feel like a scarecrow.
Well, we'll need
to get you into
some tight clothing too, okay?
You know, I'm kinda a
sweatshirts and jeans kinda guy.
Well, the judges like
to see clean lines, so...
All right.
How do you feel about
taking some ballet classes?
Yeah, I'm gonna be
totally honest with you.
I'm not gonna take
ballet classes.
I'm probably never gonna
wear this thing, you know?
Anything else?
Uh, no spray tans
and none of those,
you know, butt shakin'
moves that you guys do.
Hey, I won many a contest
with those butt shaking moves.
So what's your favorite dance?
I love them all, you know,
when I can do it.
Really, oh, that's impressive.
Okay, whatever dance we do,
you have to sell it.
The judges love the push
and the pull of the dance.
-Uh-huh.
-Okay?
So that means that we get close,
we go apart, we get close again.
Oh.
That is close.
That's the whole point of it.
Dancers get close,
but we never kiss.
The judges love it.
We're gonna get higher scores.
You just gotta
really sell it, okay?
Just give a little
bang, pow, what!
You know what I mean?
Bang, pow, what.
Yeah, okay, hold on, hold on.
You know, I think,
with all this stuff,
it's just kinda like
a little information overload.
Okay, all right.
-Maybe.
-Well, let's take
-a dinner break.
-Yeah, let's do that.
-And I'll go over
everything with you.
-Okay.
Okay, so I think
the IC on your shirt
is roman numerals for 101.
Am I right?
You're not even close.
-You're not even close.
-Come on.
Okay, I'll figure it out.
But first thing's first.
-Okay.
-We need to come up with
a great team name.
Okay.
Next, we need to practice
as much as possible.
So, what's your schedule like?
Uh, well, every Friday I
have Bible study, and then Gia
has prom next month,
so that'll be kinda busy.
Oh, that'll be so much fun.
I never went to my prom.
Really, why not?
I had issues and kinda
wasn't meant to be.
But actually, they
just announced
the high school reunion
is gonna be next month.
Oh, cool.
But I'm probably
not gonna go though.
Why not?
Bad memories.
There was this girl Susie,
and she made my life hell
in high school.
She was on the dance squad.
I got cut from the dance squad,
so she just always thought she
was a better dancer than me.
Hmm.
Anyway, what's
your work schedule like?
Uh, well, I just
got this huge new
client presentation
I gotta work on.
Oh, what's it for?
It's a dating website
called Soul 2Soul.
Oh, I've never
heard of that one,
and I'm on every single site.
You're on every
dating website?
Mm-hmm.
I got divorced a year ago.
So I thought I should
get back out there.
Oh, good for you.
Any... any luck?
Well, I get asked out
on a lot of first dates
but not a lot of second dates.
I am just horrible at dating.
And I'm super shy.
But you know the problem
with dating websites?
What's that?
They never really let
you get to know the person.
It's all about checking
a ton of boxes,
and what they should have
are videos of the people,
you know, answering
questions about themselves.
Hm, thank you.
Not a bad idea.
Do you mind if I
say a quick prayer?
Oh, no, go ahead.
Heavenly Father, we
thank you for this food,
and Lord, I thank you for
this fellowship with Faith,
and in particular, Father,
I ask that whatever's
on Faith's heart
that you grant it.
In your son's name I pray, amen.
Did I just totally
mess that up?
What?
Was I meant to hold your
hands during the prayer?
Oh, no, no, no.
See, some of my friends,
when we pray, they hold hands.
Some don't. I never know
which it's gonna be,
so I put my hands out
there, duck the head,
I don't know
what's gonna happen.
-I just...
I just say the prayer.
-Okay.
Phew, okay, great. Yeah.
No, no, you're fine,
you're fine, enjoy your food.
Thank you.
Hey, hey, I came up
with your team name.
Okay.
The Premonitions.
The Premonitions?
Like when you see the future?
Yeah. Like when I was 19,
I was gettin' my hair done,
and the stylist told me
that she had a premonition
that one day a man
would walk in the room
and the moment I saw him,
that I would pass out.
And bam, it would be my husband.
And?
It never happened.
Well, wait, wait, wait, I
guess that was a bad example.
But it would have
been a premonition.
The Premonitions.
I'm gonna think
about that one, Coretta.
[chuckling]
Hey, when you go to church
and they say
the word "fellowship,"
what exactly does that mean?
Well, it just means
spending time together
and forming friendships.
-It doesn't mean, like,
dating or anything, right?
-Oh, no, no, no.
I just don't wanna give Jimmy
any mixed signals, you know?
I don't need another
dance romance.
I know that's right.
Well, well, why?
What did Jimmy say?
Well, he was
praying before we ate,
and he said something
about fellowship
and God helping me with
whatever's on my heart.
You know that
voice inside you?
Some people call it conscience.
We call it God.
And God puts something on
your heart, and you know it's
the right thing to do.
But you may be afraid to do it.
That's when something's
on your heart.
Okay, well, I just
wanted to make sure.
Well, now remember, you
only have one month left
to get your submission dance in.
Okay, okay,
I'm gonna get on that.
All right.

She dropped out at one point.

Hi, Mr. Elpidas.
I just wanted to go over
Gia's personal statement
for her college
application with you.
Oh, okay.
First of all, Gia
needs to explain
why she got a C in
geometry her freshman year.
Wow, I think that's the only
C she got in all high school.
Top tier schools don't
wanna see even one C.
Okay.
