Flashdance (1983) Edit

A brain tumour.

A brain tumour.

A girl's got to make a living.

A lesbian with a hard on.

A Polish terrorist tried to blow up a car

About 25 years.

About admission to the Repertory Company.

About admission to the Repertory Company.

Actually, they're very close.

Alex, sit down here a minute.

Alex! Come on, give them back.

All I did was to make a phone call.

All I wanted to do is to make her happy.

All nude, all the time! Right here, live!

All that time and practice. What a waste.

Also, I told a lie.

Also, if youhave any professional

Altoona, Pennsylvania.

Altoona.

And an American Motors dealership in McDonald,

And are performed before the committee

And he burned his lips on the exhaust pipe.

And I loved the way they sat us right away.

And now, news headlines with Kevin Evans.

And one day, I realised that...

And select members of the Repertory Company.

And the number of years at each institution.

And the number of years you've spent at each institution.

And the number of years you've spent at each institution.

And told them it was a very special occasion.

And you're making the hamburgers too big again.

And your body just starts to move.

And youreally take your clothes off at night?

Any time youwant me to straighten out yours, let me know.

Are youcrazy? Are youout of your mind?

As a matter of fact... I fucked his brains out.

As a waiter. I said, "Me, a waiter? Yougot to be crazy.

Asshole! Stop the car!

At first I didn't like it very much.

At the end of every performance, does the lead dancer always get flowers?

Auditions are by invitation only

Be sure and list all your years of dance education.

Be sure to list all your years of dance education.

Because you're my friend. Jerk!

Bimbo! Whore.

Bless me father for I have sinned.

Bless me father, for I have sinned.

Blonde?

Blonde?

Bravo! Bravo!

Bring on the bimbos.

Broke mine three times.

But I didn't tell you I got the audition until this morning.

But I've never taken dance classes.

But I've saved money, so if they take me, I can support myself.

But something inside of you just clicks.

But what if I don't make it?

But youcan't help thinking about sex.

But youdance in front of an audience at the club every night.

But, child, they won't take you unless youapply and audition.

Buy some threads, I'm running a class act here.

Can't forget my hat.

Can't yousee me opening up in L.A?

Cecil, this is a nice ass.

Cecil, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Charmed, dear.

Close your eyes.

Come here!

Come here.

Come on, guys. Could yougive me a break?

Come on, Jake, I don't want to hear it. Is she there?

Come on, Jeanie!

Come on, Jeanie.

Come on, Richie.

Come on, try.

Come on.

Come on. What are you, crazy? Besides, you're too short anyway.

Cook hamburgers and pretend I'm a comedian?

Did youever try?

Did youhear about the Polack bank robber?

Did youhear about the Polack who died drinking milk?

Did youknowthat the smallest penis ever measured was 1.1 inches?

Direct from Mawby's. It's Tina Tech, ladies and gentlemen.

Direct from Pittsburgh, it's Richie Blazik, ladies and gentlemen.

Do it again!

Do it now! Do it!

Do youknowthe triple one?

Do youread lips?

Don't stop.

Don't youunderstand? When yougive up your dream, youdie.

Don't youwant some pizza?

Dreaming is wonderful, but it won't get youcloser to what youwant.

Drink a little wine. Do a little weed.

Every cent I had, I spent on costumes.

Ex cuse me. Do youknow where the admissions office is?

Figure out what it was I wanted to do and go after it.

Five dollars, right this way! Five dollars! All nude all the time!

Five dollars! Live! Nude! All girls, all the time!

Five dollars! Right this way!

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

Fuck off!

Get out of here! Go play with your fucking Porsche.

Get out.

Get up, Jeanie.

Give me a turkey sandwich and a diet 7 Up.

Go Jeanie! Come on!

God, I'm glad I ain't no honky.

Good evening, ladies.

Good evening, Mawby's.

Good evening. In the news, a fire caused extensive damage

Good luck, baby.

Good luck.

Good morning.

Good morning. May I help you?

Great. Great.

Hanna wanted me to get the application.

Hanna!

Hanna!

Hanna?

Hanna?

Hanna?

Hanna?

Hanna?

Has he taken youto the steel mill? He likes to go there on his first date.

He called.

He didn't call.

He gets upset when people he doesn't knowfollow me home.

He said, "If youclose your eyes, youcan see the music."

He tied up the safe and blewthe guard.

He tied up the safe, blewthe guard.

He used a coat hanger to get his family out.

He'll call, Tina.

He'll call.

Hear about the Polack, who locked his keys in the car?

Hello.

Hello. Nick has told me all about you.

Here we go.

Here's your hat.

Hey, it's the cook!

Hey, throwthat bum out!

Hey! A little late, aren't you?

Hi, baby, how are youdoing?

Hi, Grunt.

Hi, Jeanie.

Hi. How are youdoing?

Hi. I'm Richie Blazik.

Hi. I'm Richie Blazik.

Hi. I'm Richie Blazik. Did youhear about the Polack bank robber?

How about a snack? Milk and cookies?

How about boogers? Sports for fifty?

How are youdoing, sport?

How come youdon't go up there and dance?

How long does this thing last?

How quickly they forget. At the dance benefit.

How's the lobster?

I called the restaurant last night...

I can get her to make us anything we want.

I can see that I don't have to worry about you.

I can't believe I'm working out with this hangover.

I can't believe this.

I can't, I was just fooling around. I'm not a dancer like that.

I couldn't tell her that I didn't have the courage to go through with it.

I did it because...youpissed me off.

I didn't eat anything yesterday.

I didn't know youwere a ballet fan, I thought youliked it private.

I didn't mean nothing. I just got pissed off.

I don't even know what happened.

I don't need youtelling me what to do. I don't need to hear your shit.

I don't think he'll call.

I feel like Franco Harris when he made the lmmaculate Reception.

I figured that I had really made it.

I give youtwo lousy shots and you're talking about going to L.A.!

I got some in a trunk. I'll show yousometime.

I got the audition, look. I applied for the Repertory Company.

I got to go. I have a call coming up. Disconnecting...

I got youthe audition, the rest is up to you.

I had a great time. It was a terrific evening.

I had more fancy costumes and dresses than youdo.

I had to... Well, I didn't have to, but...

I have dreams about it.

I knew youwould. Congratulations.

I know it sounds really silly.

I know.

I knowthat part.

I love how youalways try to straighten out other people's lives.

I love this dress. It's exactly like the picture I showed you.

I love youmore than I've ever loved anything in my whole life.

I loved that there were 50 people waiting and we just whizzed in.

I loved the dinner.

I make good money.

I mean, I read books and stuff and I watch.

I need a favour for a special friend.

I saw youdance last night.

I see her once a year to take her to the stupid benefit!

I thought about it a lot.

I thought I did in the beginning.

I thought youwanted to be a dancer. Youcall that dancing?

I told youl don't think it's a good idea to go out with the boss.

I told youthey didn't like short people down there.

I took a deep breath and jumped.

I used to steal hubcaps with Johnny C.

I used to work in these old movie theatres.

I want to do so much, and sometimes...

I want to make something out of my life.

I want... I want so much.

I was ready to nod out, or something.

I was so poor I had hand me down lunches.

I was thinking more along the lines of Jupiter.

I'd just like to try it again, Daddy.

I'd just taken the safe route.

I'd like to apply for admission to the Repertory Company.

I'll bring him a doggy bag if you'll have dinner with me.

I'll buy youa beer.

I'll give youa lift home.

I'll give yousmall.

I'll give youthe Cowboys and three.

I'll miss you.

I'll put cockroaches in your hamburgers, yougot it?

I'm divorced. We're divorced.

I'm doing OK. Sort of.

I'm just a cook. I'm just a cook, all right?

I'm just going to get on the turnpike. That's it. I'm gone.

I'm not a baby!

I'm not hungry, thanks.

I'm practising.

I'm Richie Blazik.

I'm so ex cited I can't stop shaking.

I'm sorry, Daddy.

I'm terrific, right? Youcan tell me. I can take it.

I've been thinking about sex a lot.

I've seen your name on my pay cheques.

If he ain't asked me to marry him by now, he ain't gonna.

If he doesn't call, should I call him?

If I come up with a scoop on her, I get Dallas and three and a half.

If I said, it wouldn't be a surprise.

If it's that bad, why don't you slit your wrists and get it over with?

If youcan't be honest with yourself, youcan't with me.

If youcome up with anything on her, I'll give yousix.

If youhad seen all those dancers...

In the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit.

In the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit.

Is this visit a one time shot

It cost me a $170. I had to special order it.

It sucks.

It took the Steelers 40 years to win a championship, didn't it?

It used to be a warehouse before I moved in.

It was amazing!

It was big in the '50s, wasn't it? Busting noses?

It was rough in the old days.

It was supposed to be this really big deal.

It wasn't.

It's been a long time since my last confession.

It's been two weeks since my last confession.

It's boring.

It's different. Very different.

It's going to be OK.

It's her social security number, asshole.

It's just the next lifeless planet over.

It's like you're somebody else for a second.

It's not her ass I'm worried about.

It's OK. I've got a ride. Thanks anyway.

It's showtime.

Jake, sit down and play a game.

Jeanie, are youstill fuckin' that cook?

Just get up and call the dude.

Just so I can disappear.

Keep it. It's my way of saying I'm sorry.

Kid! Come here.

L.A? What's all this talk about L.A?

L.A.

Larry! Hey.

Last night, some idiot throws a rock through my window...

Let her go, Johnny.

Let me bring out our next act.

Listen, are youstill on the Arts Council?

Listen, I didn't come here to fight, I came to see if youwere OK.

Listen, I got to get to work.

Listen, what can I say? Thanks a lot.

Listen. Come see my club. I just put this new PA system in.

Live! Nude! Right this way! Right through the door!

Look at that one.

Look up.

Look, I love Jeanie. But I don't have it to give to her right now.

Make 'em smaller.

May the Lord be in your heart and mind that youconfess your sins

May the Lord be in your heart and mind that youconfess your sins

Maybe he'll call, I don't know.

Maybe.

Mayo, no mustard.

Me too.

Miracles do happen, I guess.

Miss Szabo.

My dad's breathing down my neck. He says Richie is no good.

No roaches, I promise.

No, don't.

No, go do your turn.

No, we're gonna work.

No!

Now youain't nervous any more. Now you're pissed off.

Now, more important, did yougo to the repertory?

Obviously, youdid.

Oh, shit.

OK.

OK.

OK. Have it your way.

One cheese, medium. Fries.

One of these days I want to be like...

One pastrami on kaiser. Mayo, no mustard.

One, two, three, four!

Or is it the comedian? Nice suit, Richie.

Or other repertory experience, please, list those.

Personally, I never call. Because I don't have to.

Pete, I don't want her zip code.

Phone booths?

Putting youdown to deal with Dallas. Do we have a deal?

Really, it was boring. Ex cept for maybe music.

Remember the first time youtook me to see them dance?

Richie going to be there? There's a real winner.

Richie, no more jokes about cockroaches.

Ring, damn you. I can't believe he didn't call.

Round. Snug.

Say, "Hey, baby, what's happening?"

See the music?

See you.

See youaround.

She died.

She doesn't work for me any more. She's over at the Zanzibar.

She likes it.

She was different from anyone I had gone out with before, she was...

She was here. I was talking to her...

She was here. I was talking to her...

She's my ex wife. We have friends on the Arts Council.

She's really good. Youought to see her.

Shit, I can't do this.

Shit!

Shut up, Grunt.

Six beautiful girls! All nude!

Six beautiful girls! Right here! Live!

So howthe hell did youknow?

So, did youget laid today?

So, the lady says to the waiter,

Soft...

Some nights, I...

Sometimes I think that it's just not going to happen.

Starting with the last school youattended.

Starting with the most recent place you've studied,

Steelers!

Stop the goddamn car!

Straighten yourself up. Attract some customers.

Take a walk!

Tell youwhat...

Thanks anyway.

Thanks so much for making it.

Thanks.

That's $100. I can't take this.

That's great.

That's why youcalled me every night?

That's wonderful. We have to do something about it.

That's wonderful. We have to do something about it.

The audition! I got it! I got it!

The blonde in the white dress. Who's the goddamn blonde?

The comedian is going to be a hero.

The cowfell on him.

The door on the left.

The dresses got old and I just stopped wearing them.

The floor's lit up where you're going to dance.

The stupid radiator broke.

The truth is, you're scared shitless of going to that place, aren't you?

The waiter says, "No, that's just the way I walk."

The whole thing has to be up to me! I'm not going to the audition!

There is no way I belong there.

There is nothing to do with your feet and there's nothing to look at.

There we go. Come on.

There were no girls out there.

There youwere 20 years ago, sweetheart.

They are Richie's.

They are very cute. Very, very cute.

They don't let short people into Hollywood.

Think she can beat her?

This ain't your neighbourhood no more.

This is my big chance, so if youscrew it up for me,

This is the man that feeds you, Grunt.

This one time, he took us all to the symphony, my whole family.

This place is so small youhave to go outside to change your mind.

Three and a half. I'm ecstatic.

Tied up the safe and blewthe guard.

Tied up the safe, blewthe guard.

Two plain, rare, tomato and onions.

Two plain, rare, tomato and onions.

Wait a minute. Will youwait a minute?

Wait. I've lost my keys.

Want some of mine?

Was that you or the radiator, Grunt?

What youneed is a kick in the ass.

What?

What?

What's a dancer doing working as a welder?

What's a pimple on a Polack's ass?

What's this?

Whatever turns youon.

When I realised that, it made it easier for me to do what I had to do.

When I talked to him, he seemed funny. Like, "I'll call youlater, babe."

When I went on that stage I was looking so good.
