Dancer 1: How does she not know he's gay?
Dancer 2: How does he not know he's gay?
Stop saying I got fired. It's not accurate. The auto industry shipped my job to Mexico, and there was a global pandemic. From a bat! A bat killed all of our grandparents! How is that my fault?
Mike
Alan, Alan that is too much hand sanitizer! Do I need to reach in and flip a breech baby later? Is that on the prep schedule? I just want a normal amount of hand sanitizer!
Nick
Gabby: What happened with you?
Justin: I came out to my dad, he kicked me out, he said he wouldn't help me with college. We haven't spoken since. Which you'd know if you just called me back.
Gabby: I'm sorry, OK? I was pregnant and scared, and ashamed and depressed, and I couldn't be anybody's friend. But I'm here now.
You go disenfranchised white male! Get a camera on his shlubby friends back there.
Nick
I started dancing when I was six years old. I worked until my feet bled. I spent six years in the core before I became a prima ballerina. I didn't get my period until I was 30! You guys just rolled out of bed this morning, ate a bowl of cheese, and now you get to dance in front of millions of people. We're building to a live performance of Swan Lake, and you're too stupid to be nervous!
Monica
I know your depression is telling you terrible things about the future, but your depression is a liar. I love you so much. You deserve a little more in life, honey. Go get it.
Gabby's Mom
So she fired him, he has no idea, and now they're cutely flirting and dancing on a fire escape? Why are we not filming this?!
Nick
Gabby: If I can teach him the choreography and get him to audition, can I get another shot?
Monica: No!
Nick: Yes. You're the single mother we cut yesterday, right?
Gabby: Gabby. And to be fair there was stripper dust on the floor.
Monica: I'm sorry, she was cut. There's no second chances.
Wayne: To be fair the show is literally about second chances.
Nick: I like her coming down here and asking for another shot. That's plucky as hell, and look at her! The hair, those freckles, I'm drawn in, and I don't know whether she's Black or White or what! You know what she looks like to me? She looks like America. And America needs a win!
Gabby: She really does.
Gabby: Sorry, a pandemic, I haven't been touched by a man in like a year.
Reggie: You good?
Gabby: Mmhmm. Yes. Yes. Here we go. I'm sorry, it's actually been um, much longer than a year.
Gabby: It is a slippery slope from commenting on our bodies to wanting to own them. Gender terrorism. Reggie: You really believe that?
Gabby: Sometimes. And then other times I just want to look pretty.
Reggie: You are pretty.
