Maureen: What will you use it for?
Jim: You know, state funerals, abdications, the usual.
Maureen: I'll see if we have your size.
Jim: Excuse me. Coming Through. No luck, huh?
Maureen: What?
Jim: The tiara. She went off to find one in my size.
Maureen: Oh, no, no luck.
Jim: That's alright, I'm sure you tried your hardest. Anyone want a fruit tart for the road.
Emily: Yeah, I'll take one.
Maureen: It's practically all fat, Emily.
Jim: Hello Emily. I'm Jim Gordon. So you guys, what, work here?
Jody: Oh, no, we're students at the American Ballet Academy.
Jim: Ballerinas. Very cool.
Emily: Oh, my God. You got to try one of these, Maureen.
Jim: Well, she has a name. Maureen.
Maureen: We have to go.
Jim: Yeah, yeah, me too. I'm gonna go home, call my Mom. Tell her how wrong I've been about New York.
You see, Maureen No-Last-Name, all this time I've been telling her it's an interesting city, but completely devoid of any true natural beauty.
And now that I've met you, I know that's not true.
Emily: Cummings.
Jim: What?
Emily: Her last name, it's Cummings.
Jim: Hey! Hi, Maureen. Hi, Emily. How you guys doing?
Emily: Fine.
Jim: Good. So has Maureen been really busy? I mean, she isn't seeing someone else, like, ehm, Cooper Nielson or someone, is she?
Maureen: What do you know about Cooper Nielson?
Jim: Hey, I've been doing my ballet research.
Girl: We're not encouraged to date company members.
Jim: I fully support that policy. Look. All I came here to say is, I go to Columbia, pre-Med.
I have a clean record, impeccable hygiene and here's my number.
Emily: Go talk to him, come on, go.
Maureen: Hey, the thing is, I've got priorities. I mean, you only get to be a dancer for 10 years.
Maybe 15 if you don't get injured, so for the next decade at least....
Jim: Hey, All I'm asking for is a date.
Maureen: So how do I do this exactly?
Jim: You've never bowled before?
Maureen: No.
Jim: Just roll it on down there.
Jim: Uhm, you got, ehm. I've got it. Would it, be presumptuous to ask to come up?
Maureen: Yeah. Plus, you're not allowed. Dorm rules.
Jim: So this is good night.
Maureen: I think so, yeah.
Jim: But not goodbye.
Maureen: No. No, not goodbye. I have to go. Good Night.
Jim: Hey. You haven't seen my girlfriend, have you? Tall, thin, legs for days?
Eva: Yeah, I pushed her overboard.
Jim: You okay?
Maureen: Fine. Just motion sickness, you know.
Jim: You want some water, or anything?
Maureen: No. It passed.
Jim: Sure?
Maureen: Yeah.
Jim: Alright.
Jim: Look, ehm. I know I'm not a doctor yet or anything, but I do know that what you're doing is really bad for you.
Maureen: I wasn't feeling well.
Jim: Maureen.
Maureen: What do you know?
Jim: I know that no goal is worth making yourself sick.
Maureen: Yeah? Maybe my goal is a little more demanding than yours.
Jim: Medicine is plenty demanding, thank you, but I am not about to start hurting myself for it.
Maureen: I am not hurting. I'm making decisions, sacrifices for what I want.
Jim: Oh, like you know what you want.
Maureen: What's that suppose to mean?
Jim: You know what? Call me crazy, but I find it hard to believe that a girl who is,
who is throwing up everything she eats is all that in tune with her wants and needs.
Maureen: You know what, I don't need this, not from you. God.
Jim: Alright, look I am sorry, please. Don't go running out of here in the middle of the night, please.
Maureen: Just back off.
Jim: Maureen listen to me. Wait. Look. I don't. I don't want to drive you away. I just want to help.
Maureen: I don't need any help. I am fine. I am the best goddamn dancer in the American Ballet Academy. Who the hell are you? Nobody.
Jim: Hey. You okay?
Maureen: Erik got injured today. And you know the first thing I thought when I saw him go down?
Jim: What?
Maureen: I wished that was me. So, that made me think, you know, because that's not a normal reaction.
How much of what you liked about me was because I was a ballet dancer and how much because I was me?
Guy: Maureen you could've told me.
Maureen: I'm really sorry, I was planning to tell you, it's just..
Guy: It's okay I got San Francisco, with Galina.
Maureen: Ohh that's perfect.
Jim: Hey Congrats, Bud.
Guy: Thanks I'll catch up with you later.
Maureen: Congratulations. Hey, everyone says you were beautiful.
Eva: You didn't watch? Are you all right?
Maureen: Not really no, but I will be.
Jim: You will be.
