Liz What do I want? I'll tell you what I want! I want Ken Railings to walk in here right now, and say 'Pam Shortt's broken both her legs, and I wanna dance with YOU!'

[the door flies open. It's Ken]

Ken Pam Shortt's broken both her legs, and I wanna dance with you.

Scott Look, a beginner has no right to approach an Open Amateur.

Fran Yeah, well an Open Amateur has no right to dance non-Federation steps, but you did, didn't you?

Scott But that's different.

Fran *How* is it different? You're just like the rest of them! You think you're different, but you're not, because you're just, you're just really scared! You're really scared to give someone new a go, because you think, you know, they might just be better than you are! Well, you're just pathetic, and you're gutless. You're a gutless wonder! Vivir con miedo, es como vivir a medias!

Scott We're telling a story. The rumba is the dance of love. Look at me like you're in love.

Scott Liz...

Fran What happened to a life lived in fear and all that stuff?

Scott Fran...

Fran You really are a gutless wonder!

Scott There's a reason for this.

Fran I don't want to hear!

Scott Listen to me!

Fran No!

Scott It's hard for me too, Fran.

Fran *Hard*? Hard? How hard do you think it's been for *me*? To get you to dance with me in the first place? Frangipannidellasqueegymop. Wash the coffee cups, Fran, how's your skin, Fran? Hard?

Scott You don't understand.

Fran I understand. You've got your Pan Pacifics to win, and I'm back in Beginners, where I belong.

Barry Fife [referring to Ken Railings] Let's not forget, Les, that a Pan Pacific Champion becomes a hero, a guiding light to all dancers, someone who'll set the right example.

[Meanwhile, on the dance floor]

Liz [fake smile] You've been drinking!

Ken Railings Bullshit! Push it!

Liz You bloody have!

Shirley Hastings [after berating Scott for leaving Tina hanging in order to find Fran] And what about Les? He's taught you everything you know and you're just throwing it back in his face!

Scott I'm bored with it!

Shirley Hastings I don't believe I'm hearing this! I have been with your father for twenty-five years - do you think I get bored? Of course I do!

Wayne What the hell was that all about?

Shirley Hastings What?

Wayne You know, with Fran?

Scott Where is she?

Shirley Hastings Who?

Scott Fran.

Shirley Hastings Fran... Fran... Fran... who?

Tina Sparkle You know, the girl that fell.

Barry Fife If you can't dance a step, you can't teach it, and if you can't teach it - we might as well all pack up and go home. With young Liz available again, you've got a chance to get your status quo vadis back... so to speak.
