Look, I told you I don't want to go, so
don't bug me about it anymore.

It's a benefit for AIDS research. It's a
great cause, and what could be more fun

than a dance marathon?

Having hemorrhoids on jury duty?

Look, look, I'm not going, which is why
I'm sponsoring all of you with one tax

-deductible check.

Oh, come on, Abe. It's going to be
great.

You get to dress up in 40s clothes and
dance all night.

Don't you want to say you were there?

I can say that anyway.

All right, here you go, honey.

Another bowl of pasta.

I'm training for this thing like a long
-distance runner. I'm carbo -loading.

You're free -loading.

I got a good feeling about tomorrow
night.

I'm going to walk in there and sweep a
girl right off her feet.

Or a blade pick one up off the floor.

Well, one thing's for sure.

We're all going to look great.

And isn't that what it's all about?

I've got a fabulous gown from the 40s I
can't wait to wear.

I decided to wear my father's old
uniform.

It's been stored up in the attic for
years. I finally got the guts to try it

When I looked at myself in the mirror, I
actually got a little choked up. I

almost hate to ask this.

What are you wearing, Meg? You're
looking at it.

The whole point is to lose yourself in
the feeling of the 40s. You've got to

dressed up, I tell you what.

Now, tomorrow I'm going to take you down
to my favorite thrift store. They got

tons of great vintage World War II
things.

Oh, boy, you get to go to a party in
dead person's clothes.

You see, that's why I'm staying home.

What do you mean you're staying home?

Come on, you got to go. It's going to be
great.

Now, wait a minute, Dana. Let's not push
Abe too hard. He's a dancing marathon

and a man who's getting on in years.

I don't want to say Abe's old, but the
last time he got dressed up, he wore a

powdered wig.

Hey, hey, hey.

He is so old. that his last charity
event was to raise money for the Aaron

Defense Fund.

Hey, hey, watch it there, Groody. Tender
One says I'm on the dance floor longer

than you. You're on it.

How the hell did that happen?

Oh, wow.

Roseland, exactly as it must have been.

You can almost feel the presence of
Glenmore.

Isn't it incredible?

Dana, you haven't said anything about my
hair.

Does it look all right, or did I go too
far?

Well, it does kind of take your head
into a whole other dimension.

What, you're saying it looks bad?

It doesn't look like it's receding, does
it? Because my hairline is not

receding.

It's a widow's peak.

A larger than average widow's peak.

Well,

you get a load of you two.

We were definitely born in the wrong
era, especially you, Nadine.

Or should I say Veronica Lake. I could
be anybody tonight, Dana.

Oh, and Jack, very daring.

It's a widow's peak.

Has anybody seen Ray? He probably got
stuck trying to fit into his father's

uniform.

Oh, look.

Oh, my God, is that him? Oh, it is.

Wait.

They're looking all over for you.

Wait. What the hell are you wearing?

It's my father's uniform.

Dad was head bellhop at the Roosevelt
Hotel.

Nice hat. Nice peak.

Here comes Meg.

You wouldn't believe what it took for me
to get her into this outfit. Please

don't make a big deal out of it or we'll
never get her out of those jeans again.

Hi.

How's it going?

Nice room, huh? It's wonderful.

All right, now I know I look like an
idiot. What's a good one? How about pass

around Sue from the steno pool?

The reason no one's taking a shot is
because you look...

Fabulous. Now, why can't you just accept
that?

Yowza, yowza, yowza.

Who's the senorita broke up with the
prize -winning keister?

Hey, you mutts and Jeffs. I bet you've
been dying to know what happened to the

old kipster. No, not really.

Been out on the coast making a pilot for
a new TV series.

It's a private eye show set on a beach
town.

It's called Big Sur.

I played the title role.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome, one and all, to the annual AIDS
Project New York Dance Marathon!

Here we go!

Yes!

Eight hours! Eight hours of continuous
dancing!

Now, of course, be very careful, because
if anybody sits down, they're out of

here! All right, now, when you hear the
music change, I'll announce change

partners. And so you shall.

Is everybody ready?

All right!

Let the music begin, and here we go!

So, Nadine, would you care to dance?

Okay.

Oh, gosh, Ray, there's something about
this atmosphere.

As for tonight, I don't want to be the
old Nadine. I want to be a stranger in

the night.

So, as a stranger, how do you think I'm
coming across?

If I meet Miss Wright tonight, I want to
make a good impression.

Well, Ray, when you think of the great
romantic figures of the 40s, you know,

the bandleaders, the gangsters, the
flyboys, bellhop doesn't just leap off

page.

Oh, ow, ow, ow, ow.

Blow quick, quick, slow.

You know, last time I planned on
sweating with somebody taller than me,

on a basketball court.

I just wear the high heels out of
sympathy.

You need the handicap.

I hope you like the smell of floor wax,
because I give you two hours and you're

going down.

Jack, can you believe it's been almost a
year since we first danced?

I knew the first time you dipped me, I
was headed for big trouble.

I wasn't even trying.

We were so new, I was giving you what I
call the clinical.

The clinical?

Yeah.

Here's how it goes. Stiff left -hand
grip, right hand under your shoulder,

nothing touching in between.

Reserved for bosses, wives, favorite
aunts, and... Certain dangerous female

chefs who could break your heart in a
second.

Exactly. And now that we know each other
better, I prefer the intimate.

Strong, slightly possessive left -hand
grip.

Meanwhile, the right hand creeps so
slowly down to that little divot in the

small of your back.

You sure did find my divot.

Not enough room between us for the
tiniest sliver of moonlight.

Oh, my God.

Dana, Dana.

I just thought somebody.

It can't be.

It can't be who? Who just... Oh, my God.

It's him.

Him? Now, you see, this is not the thing
I want to hear. Him who?

All right, change partners.

Kim, could you just...

Stand a little to my left.

There's somebody here, and I don't want
them to see me.

I know the feeling.

How many payments have you got left?

You know how it is when you think you're
never going to see anybody again, much

less on this side of the world.

Are you okay?

I don't know.

Ten years ago, I was living in
Barcelona, and I met this incredible

novelist.

I was so in love.

And one day, he was just gone, and I
never heard from him again.

Now he's here.

You are an excellent dancer.

What's your name?

Whitney.

Sasha.

My name is Sasha.

I'm a professional dancer, at least.

I was.

I was with the New York City Ballet.

Really? Did you retire?

Oh, no.

Foolish boy. Not that good.

No, no, no.

Life got in the way.

I had an affair with Mikhail
Gorishnikov.

Well, who didn't? You're probably
thinking, this was different. We were so

each other's skin, it started to affect
our work.

I had to leave the company.

But I... I'm dying for a cigarette. Do
you smoke?

No. Well, goody for you. Don't talk to
me anymore. Just dance.

Change partners.

Here we go.

Luck be this lady tonight.

Some even, huh?

I don't know. Maybe it's the clothes.
Maybe it's the music.

Some people are showing all their colors
tonight.

There's another side to all of us, Kip.

Well, Dana just told me something very
interesting.

See that soldier over there?

Oh.

Used to be the love of her life.

Really?

That's right.

She hasn't seen him in ten years.

I think they were engaged when he split.

Took the A train out of there in the
middle of the night. Really?

Yeah, she said it didn't bother her, but
she should have seen the pain on the

kid's face.

Like most dames with the tires a little
worn around the white walls.

She's got a few skeletons in her closet.

Yeah, you got a point there. Dana has
lived.

Stands to reason her closet door would
fall open every now and then a couple of

those old bones would rattle out.

Why are you talking like that? I don't
know. You start it.

I wonder if Jack knows.

Surprise!

Yeah, well,

you may think you are today, but by
tomorrow you'll probably feel completely

different. You see that soldier over
there? Yeah.

Dana's ex -fiance.

You're kidding.

Dana was engaged?

Well, if you think that's a surprise.

He dumped her on their wedding day. I
hear she fell into a black depression.

Boy, how could anybody do anything like
that to Dana?

I don't know. I guess some guys just
have a hard time with the idea of a wife

and children.

Children?

Does Jack know?

Change partners.

There you go.

Ray, this is your big chance. Go ask her
to dance. Okay.

I feel the power of the uniform.

Cutting in, cutting in, cutting in.

Yeah, all right.

Step on her feet a couple times.

Oh, Ray, we shouldn't be dancing
together. We look like a bad subplot

Busby Berkeley movie.

Don't worry about it. I won't be dancing
with you long.

I'm using you as a warm -up for the main
event over there.

I think I found this right.

Cute. How come you're not dancing with
her?

Oh, I need to take time with a woman
like that.

She's not easy like you. Oh.

All right. Now I'm not going to tell you
the big news of the night. Yes, you

are. Okay. I just heard about it. It's
about Dana.

She was once engaged.

No way.

She was.

That guy over there.

Yeah, he left her at the altar ten years
ago. She nearly went crazy and all of a

sudden now here he is.

You're kidding.

Dana got dumped? I can't picture it.
Gee, why would a guy ever take off on

somebody like Dana?

That's what I would add.

I heard she might have been pregnant.

Oh.

Does Jack know?

I don't think so.

You guessed it.

James Pundit.

Hello, yeah. Oh, my God, thank me.

Oh, I like your hair just the way it is.

Not that.

It doesn't make you look fat.

Not that.

Then what the hell is it? Those are the
only two answers my wife trained me to

go with.

Abramson, you're a man.

If you ran out on a woman and then you
unexpectedly ran into her again, would

you want her to walk up to you and say
hello?

Well, it depends on why I left her.

If she was the one who tried to stab me
in my sleep, I'd rather she not.

He's saving his voice. He asked me to
tell everyone individually. Now get out.

Oh, Meg.

I'm glad you're here.

I've lost Dana. Something about some guy
she spotted.

And you got a pretty good view from up
there. Can you see what's going on?

Jack, listen, I got something to tell
you.

Maybe you already know this, but I'm
guessing you don't.

Know what?

What?

We have been friends for a long time. We
are both reporters, so I'm just going

to give you the thing.

That guy over there?

Ten years ago, me and Dana were engaged.

He dumped her on their wedding.

It was like some train spent in a mental
hospital or something.

And it's possible there just may be a
love child.

Are you kidding me?

Hey, don't shoot the messenger.

Meg, look.

Dana and I have slept together on
numerous occasions. Believe me, I would

roll over and miss a discussion of this
magnitude.

Maybe she hasn't told you yet. Does Dana
know every detail of your past?

Oh, God.

Where is Dana?

Where is this guy? What does he look
like? You don't want to know. Just leave

at tall and gorgeous.

I hate my hair.

Uh -oh. Uh -oh. Current girlfriend at 8
o 'clock. He didn't hear this from me.

Hi, handsome.

Haven't seen you since we got here.

Got time to dance with the dame what,
Bronya?

Sure.

Lots of people here tonight, huh? Yeah.

So many faces, huh?

Some new, some old.

Some I guess you never thought you'd
ever see again.

Oh, God.

You heard about Daniel?

Oh, so now he has a name, huh?

Look, Jack, I guess I should have told
you about this, but now I have to. Look,

I have all the information.

So tell me, Dana, was it going to be a
big wedding?

Wedding? Yeah. You were never even
engaged.

You weren't? No.

Then why'd you have a break then?

Jack, what are you talking about?

I'm not sure.

But I might as well go ahead and make a
horse's ass of myself anyway.

Is there a Dana Jr.?

Have you ever seen a stretch mark on
this body?

Oh, man.

I can't believe I got sucked into that.

I was scared there for a minute, though.

I mean, all I could think about was, you
know, there was this guy here, and you

had all these unresolved feelings for
him.

Dana, you still don't have feelings for
him, do you?

partners. Daniel.

Jack, shouldn't you be going over there
and beating that guy up or something?

Jack Stein's not run after a woman.

Whatever's going on between them, I'm
just going to let it play out.

For God's sake, Jack, will you go over
there and fight for her? It's what women

want, you know, for their white knight
to come charging down, scoop her up in

your arms. Come on, back me up on this,
Meg. Oh, yeah.

Then he can bring me back to the palace,
and I can wear long gowns and pointy

hats, and if I birth him a son, I get to
live.

I know it's taken me ten years to say
it, but I'm so sorry.

And it's taken me ten years to ask it.

Why did you leave?

The night before I left, I was lying in
bed thinking how much in love with you I

was.

But I wasn't ready for you yet.

I was young.

Younger.

And, uh, well, I guess I thought that
when the time was right, I could find

somebody who could take your place.

It never happened.

Thanks for the truth.

I thought maybe when you woke up that
morning and went running with the bull,

after you'd been trampled, your
deformity was so great that you decided

weren't worthy of me.

But as I see, you're still looking
pretty good.

Dana, I'm afraid to ask this question.

Are you married?

No.

But I am involved with someone.

Doesn't matter. Beck is right over
there.

Well, the bellhop or the balding guy?

It's a widow's peak.

Change partners.

Hey, they didn't change partners.

Well, so?

Maybe they're not through with their
conversation.

I mean, it's been ten years.

What could they possibly have to talk
about?

I don't know. Their path.

If they have a future.

Subject of your hair probably came up,
but we won't dwell on that.

Now, keep your cool, Jack. Now, you
don't want to get too crazed here.

This is where men blow it.

I know.

You're right, Avery. I'm not going to
lose it now.

Yes, sir.

I don't want the woman to have all the
power.

Jack Snyder will never let a woman think
that she has the upper hand.

We can go back to Barcelona.

Find that same little apartment that we
shared.

Rewrite history.

Daniel. Remember how we used to go down
to the sea and wait for the boats to

come in?

We'd get fresh fish in a pail and cook
them on the wood stove, eat them on our

balcony. We can go there now.

Right now.

Daniel, I can't just take off like I
used to.

I have a job.

People are depending on me. Depending on
you?

Dana Palladino?

I think I remember you as being much
more spontaneous.

I guess I've changed.

I've changed, too.

I'll never leave you again.

Dana, Dana, look me in the eye, and if
you don't care anymore...

Oh, look at the lovely mirrored ball.

I've never seen myself so many times.

Daniel, as much as I feel that it is
possible to still have feelings for

after all these years, I'm in love with
someone else.

And if I've changed, it's because of
him.

He's the kind of man who gives you every
reason you want to stay.

And even though we fight, So much.

The best time I've ever had.

Look, is it okay if this time I kiss you
goodbye?

Okay. You see this?

This here bothers me.

I mean, this whole kissing thing, I
don't know. It just feels wrong.

Oh, yeah, this definitely bothers me.
All right, all right, break it up.

Hey, hey, hey, I don't know who you
think you are, pal, but first of all,

you hear me say change partners?

What, do you think you are above the
law? I don't think so. You are

disqualified.

It's about time you got yourself over
here.

Oh, really?

I was trying to be an evolved guy, but
that crap is over now.

It is back to the barracks for you,
Sarge.

Dana, Dana, if I could just have your
number. Here, I got a number for you. 1

-800 -TAKE -A -HIKE.

I'll always miss you.

Huh, you got that right.

Yes, sir. You'll be ordering soup for
one from now on, pal.

You get the hell out of here, or you'll
feel the fury of my peak.

What are you looking at?

Come on, keep moving, keep dancing.

It's all part of the show.

you say?

I'm sorry you didn't see that, Dana.

Let's just dance quietly for a moment.

No talking.

Okay.

Boy, you must really be wild about me.

Almost obsessed.

What?

Like I have some kind of power over you.

You need me.

You're crazy.

do this, but I was watching you earlier,
and I was wondering if you would want

to dance with me. Oh, sure.

Oh, great.

Oh, my God.

What? I don't believe it.

I just saw a guy I haven't seen in nine
years.

I'm sorry. I've got to go now.

partners.
