00:23:52:13	00:23:56:27	there was a time when Hope got ill.
00:23:56:29	00:24:02:01	And the docs couldn't figure it out.
00:24:03:27	00:24:05:00	And I thought...
00:24:05:02	00:24:08:25	maybe this means no more sports...
00:24:08:27	00:24:12:10	that magic father-daughter time...

00:25:11:22	00:25:13:15	It's called a spanner.
00:25:13:17	00:25:19:28	I can show you how to use it for two seconds and then you can try it all on your own.

00:58:55:00	00:58:56:01	HOPE I'm sorry.
00:58:56:03	00:58:59:17	Am I bothering you, can I watch?
00:58:59:19	00:59:02:04	NATASHA Sorry, I need my privacy.
00:59:02:06	00:59:04:06	HOPE Any chance you might...
00:59:04:08	00:59:04:19	I...
00:59:04:21	00:59:06:00	I have an audition.
00:59:06:02	00:59:07:00	NATASHA Sorry, no time.
00:59:07:02	00:59:09:00	And I'm an awful teacher anyway.
00:59:09:02	00:59:12:02	HOPE See you later.
00:59:26:01	00:59:34:16	DANCERS Aly, Aly, Aly, Aly, Aly, Aly, Aly.
00:59:36:12	00:59:40:24	ALY Hey new girl - how about little game of add-on?
01:00:02:10	01:00:05:13	NATASHA Reminds me of when I was a kid.
01:00:17:03	01:00:19:27	DANI You've got this Hope!
01:03:03:01	01:03:04:24	NATASHA I see you!
01:03:09:08	01:03:12:17	NATASHA Are you just going to stand there every day?
01:03:13:17	01:03:15:28	NATASHA Okay, what is it?
01:03:16:00	01:03:20:28	HOPE Well, I'm dying to get a role in the Nutcracker!
01:03:21:00	01:03:24:18	But I need to regain Yuri's confidence.
01:03:25:00	01:03:25:28	NATASHA And you want?
01:03:26:00	01:03:29:13	HOPE I'll do anything, wash your car, run your errands,
01:03:29:15	01:03:34:03	if you would just help me prepare for my Nutcracker auditions.
01:03:34:05	01:03:36:09	NATASHA Let me guess, Clara.
01:03:36:11	01:03:38:10	You have the obsession.
01:03:42:23	01:03:48:15	NATASHA Here, take this, you're Clara, the lead dancer in the Nutcracker.
01:03:48:29	01:03:50:18	HOPE It's just wood.
01:03:50:20	01:03:54:27	NATASHA Imagine it's the Nutcracker. Let me see what you got.
01:04:02:08	01:04:08:06	NATASHA Okay, it's not a lump of coal, it's the focus of the entire ballet.
01:04:08:08	01:04:11:02	You must become that character.
01:04:11:04	01:04:13:09	That means, smile, project, gesture.
01:04:13:11	01:04:18:18	You have to make the audience believe that you are that character.
01:04:18:20	01:04:20:10	Like this!
01:04:37:05	01:04:38:25	NATASHA Try again.
01:04:38:27	01:04:42:19	NATASHA Lets do it together.
01:04:56:13	01:05:00:15	NATASHA Good, not too bad!
01:05:01:01	01:05:04:09	DANCER 1 So, you're only here a few days, and you're ready to train with Natasha?
01:05:04:11	01:05:09:24	Dancer 2 You think you can be Clara in the Nutcracker, just like that?
01:05:11:01	01:05:15:05	DANCER 1 She thinks she can do anything!
01:05:46:00	01:05:48:10	NATASHA How are you liking the academy?
01:05:48:12	01:05:48:28	HOPE It's amazing.
01:05:49:00	01:05:53:13	It's the hardest thing I've ever faced, well, except for one other thing, but...
01:05:53:15	01:05:55:24	NATASHA Harder than ballet?
01:05:55:26	01:05:59:27	HOPE Well, my best friend was just in a car accident.
01:05:59:29	01:06:01:12	NATASHA That's difficult.
01:06:01:14	01:06:06:04	(pause) But even the most difficult situations have hope.
01:06:07:01	01:06:07:24	NATASHA It's like dance.
01:06:07:26	01:06:12:29	You have a movement that you practice over and over, and you never get it.
01:06:13:01	01:06:13:25	Your mind ...
01:06:13:27	01:06:14:10	it gets in the way.
01:06:14:12	01:06:18:16	NATASHA But, if instead, you have an image, an image of the outcome...
01:06:18:18	01:06:21:29	and you hold onto that image -- with everything you got.
01:06:22:01	01:06:23:29	HOPE --does that work?
01:06:24:01	01:06:24:21	NATASHA For ballet, it DOES.
01:06:24:23	01:06:35:28	In real life, such as with your friend, or, with my father, it's a way to find strength.
01:06:37:19	01:06:39:26	NATASHA You need to be prepared.
01:06:39:28	01:06:45:28	As a Dancer, you may find yourself getting up at any hour, traveling to any part of the world.
01:06:46:00	01:06:47:28	You have to be ready to dance at any time!
01:06:48:00	01:06:52:29	NATASHA Swollen neck, torn muscles, your point shoes breaking just before the performance.
01:06:53:01	01:06:58:18	Having to dance in front of 5,000 people with the worst flu you've ever had.
01:06:58:20	01:07:00:08	NATASHA It can be brutal!
01:07:00:10	01:07:02:23	You sure you want to go through with this?
01:07:02:25	01:07:04:06	HOPE More than ever.
01:07:04:14	01:07:06:21	NATASHA Thought so.
01:07:35:00	01:07:36:22	NATASHA Dancing on point.
01:07:36:24	01:07:38:13	A thousand pounds of pressure on your toes.
01:07:38:15	01:07:42:23	Blisters, broken toe nails, callouses, you name it.
01:07:42:25	01:07:47:08	But, it's how you deliver the magic on stage.
01:07:47:10	01:07:49:12	HOPE This is all I got.
01:07:49:14	01:07:52:28	NATASHA You should have seen my shoes when I was your age.
01:08:22:24	01:08:24:17	HOPE So why do you do it...
01:08:24:19	01:08:25:23	really?
01:08:25:25	01:08:27:06	NATASHA It's my identity.
01:08:27:08	01:08:29:25	It's how I found myself, when I was young.
01:08:29:27	01:08:31:09	NATASHA Everyone's different.
01:08:31:11	01:08:35:05	But for me, ballet fits like a glove.
01:08:35:07	01:08:37:12	I can't imagine...
01:08:38:26	01:08:41:09	NATASHA Are you asleep.
01:08:43:08	01:08:46:28	NATASHA Lets go get some fresh air.
01:09:41:19	01:09:43:14	TINA I know you've been working on this.
01:09:43:16	01:09:48:23	And are you sure you know all the steps.
01:09:49:03	01:09:52:12	Honey, there's gonna be some serious competition.
01:09:52:14	01:09:56:28	HOPE I've been practicing my steps every day.
01:09:57:00	01:09:59:14	TINA Okay, but this is your one chance.
01:09:59:16	01:10:02:09	There's gonna be some serious competition.
01:10:02:11	01:10:04:11	You need to be your best.
01:10:04:13	01:10:05:28	The best.
01:10:06:00	01:10:07:28	Are you ready?
01:10:12:26	01:10:14:16	JAY You're being a little hard on Hope.
01:10:14:18	01:10:17:28	TINA That's the only way she is gonna get this role.
01:10:18:00	01:10:19:13	JAY Maybe you're pushing...
01:10:19:15	01:10:20:06	too hard.
01:10:20:08	01:10:23:15	TINA She needs pushing to get this role.
01:10:23:17	01:10:23:27	I mean.
01:10:23:29	01:10:27:27	If I had been pushed harder, I might have gone further.
01:10:27:29	01:10:30:23	JAY Yeah...?
01:10:39:06	01:10:40:27	NATASHA Isn't your audition tomorrow?
01:10:40:29	01:10:44:16	HOPE I'm so nervous I'm gonna explode.
01:10:44:18	01:10:49:14	NATASHA When I was your age, at my very first audition, I just froze.
01:10:49:16	01:10:51:25	I completely forgot how to dance.
01:10:51:27	01:10:58:04	NATASHA But, then I stopped trying, stopped thinking, stopped worrying.
01:10:58:06	01:11:02:29	Just dance, believe ...
01:11:03:01	01:11:04:28	That's all.
01:11:05:00	01:11:06:28	HOPE Thank you so much!
01:11:07:00	01:11:09:11		You really made a difference.
01:11:09:13	01:11:11:13		I'll never forget it.
01:11:13:26	01:11:16:02	HOPE I wish you weren't leaving so soon.
01:11:16:04	01:11:17:22	NATASHA I have to go on tour.
01:11:17:24	01:11:20:20	But I'll be back to visit my dad.
01:11:41:29	01:11:52:27	NATASHA Hey Mom. What? Okay, bye.
01:11:54:29	01:11:56:19	NATASHA My dad...
01:11:56:29	01:11:59:25	more complications.
01:12:06:28	01:12:08:18	NATASHA The shoes my father gave me.
01:12:08:20	01:12:09:06	Take them.
01:12:09:08	01:12:09:28	HOPE I can't, these are --
01:12:10:00	01:12:11:28	NATASHA I need to let go.
01:12:12:00	01:12:13:01	Please.
01:12:13:03	01:12:16:28	I take, but I don't always give.
01:12:17:00	01:12:20:18	It would mean a lot to me.
01:13:29:15	01:13:32:28	NATASHA (V.O.) Just dance. Believe.
01:13:37:13	01:13:37:28	HEAD JUDGE Dancers.

01:16:25:01	01:16:25:17	The phone still works.
01:16:25:19	01:16:30:13	I'm sure that it just takes them awhile to call back all the dancers sometimes.
01:16:36:09	01:16:38:03	TINA Hello?
