00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:38,715
Yeah.

524
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,038
But this is a classic.
It sets the bar.

525
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,588
Yeah, but it
was written, when?

526
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,708
You have to speak
to your audience.

527
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,559
I mean, you got Romeos and
Juliets all over The Flats.

528
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,153
You're right.

529
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,676
(BOTH CHUCKLING)

530
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:57,749
Hmm.

531
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,313
Hey, man.
Yo, what's cruisin', man?

532
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,594
Good, man.

533
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,348
What's up?

534
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,153
Why are we
here, again?

535
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,279
Because I want to change the
tone of our Romeo and Juliet.

536
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,158
I want the reality of
this place to inspire us.

537
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,472
We've got company.

538
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:25,953
NADINE:
Do you know who that is?

539
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,429
Yeah, I know him.
Who invited him?

540
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:29,635
Who cares?

541
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,995
My view just got 100% better.
(SIGHS)

542
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,439
Hey, I didn't know
you would make it.

543
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,278
I listened to that
score you sent me.

544
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:43,588
Oh, you did?

545
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,399
Oh, like that's not what
you wanted me to do.

546
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,119
I mean, I was hoping so.
Yeah, I figured.

547
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,112
I took a shot at that parting
scene, where you and Romeo split.

548
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,470
Yeah. And I came up with this.

549
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,276
(MUSIC PLAYING)

550
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:00,675
Okay.
Yeah?

551
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,432
I feel it.
A'ight.

552
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:03,509
You want to try it?

553
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:04,794
Hell, yeah.

554
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:05,909
Come on.

555
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:55,555
MELEA: Erik.

556
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,235
Erik.

557
00:33:58,480 --> 00:33:59,549
Erik.

558
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,034
Want me to go after him?

559
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,714
No, it must not
have been important.

560
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:09,789
Hey.
Hey.

561
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,713
Who was that?
Oh, her boyfriend.

562
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,072
Trouble in paradise.

563
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,678
Uh, yeah, I guess so.

564
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,119
Phew!
Nice session, yeah?

565
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:28,269
Yeah.

566
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:29,795
All right.

567
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,359
I'll see you tomorrow, Melea.

568
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,032
Thank you, Dajon.

569
00:34:37,720 --> 00:34:39,039
Thank you.

570
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:40,788
Bye, guys.

571
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,149
(CHUCKLES)

572
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:44,834
Bye, Taj.

(CHUCKLES)

574
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,593
Thank you so much for the song, Taj.
It was perfect.

575
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,638
It's no problem. Just glad
everything worked out.

576
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,390
Listen,
I gotta hit a session,

577
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,313
but I'm having a party Saturday,
if you all wanna stop by.

578
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:02,549
I'm there.

579
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,834
You can apologize to your
other guests in advance,

580
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,797
'cause you won't be
able to resist me.

581
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:09,832
Wow, Nadine. Really?

582
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,950
Shush. He has a private jet.
I can come visit you.

583
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,115
I'm flattered,
but I'm kinda seeing someone.

584
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,233
Damn.
All the good ones are taken.

585
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,470
Hey. I'm a good one.

586
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,153
Ew. You're like my brother.
Don't be weird.

587
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,318
You two are funny.

588
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:32,393
What about you, Melea?
See you at the party?

589
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,550
I don't know, I have
a lot to do with the show.

590
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,949
I don't know if I can
make it, but I'll try.

591
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,917
Yo, you might meet some folks
who could help you.

592
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,479
And your girl
Ishani will be there.

593
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,912
That's the girl you've been telling
me about? The one we battled?

594
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:45,989
Yeah.

595
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,593
Now I know
I can't make it.

596
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,477
A'ight, come on.
She's cool.

597
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,596
Talks a lot of trash, but she's
going through some deep shit.

598
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,514
Like what?

599
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,156
Her little brother, Emmanuel,
was killed last year.

600
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,399
Some messed-up gang thing over
a fancy chain he was wearing.

601
00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:07,119
I didn't realize.

602
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,191
Yeah, I know a lot of kids
going through the same thing.

603
00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:11,199
Yeah, it's bad.

604
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,594
So, cut her some slack, maybe.

605
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,714
She could use more
good people in her life.

606
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:19,829
See ya.

607
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,114
Bye.

608
00:36:25,240 --> 00:36:26,593
I know that look.

609
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,517
That's your "I want to
save the world" look.

612
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,193
I heard that.

613
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:16,519
It was nice.

614
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:18,355
Come in.

615
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,233
I had already written
music for that scene.

616
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,394
I'm sorry.
I didn't know.

617
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,556
Babe, you know I
can't do this without you.

618
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,392
You sure seemed like
you were doing fine earlier.

619
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,798
You know what Taj
brings to this project.

620
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:41,192
Yeah, credibility. I know, I get it.
He's an established artist.

621
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,959
Yeah, but that doesn't change
how I feel about you.

622
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,439
It just seems like
the only thing you care about

623
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,909
is this Romeo and Juliet show.

624
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,070
(CHUCKLES)
Well, it is important to me.

625
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,709
Especially without school, and
being where my mom grew up,

626
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,759
seeing how it is here,
it makes me feel obligated.

627
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,397
Yeah, so you want
me to play the role

628
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,994
of the understanding
boyfriend?

629
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,070
If you don't mind.
Okay. Yeah.

630
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,479
Love you when you're crazy.

631
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:09,913
I've had plenty of
practice for that.

632
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,911
So, we should be okay.
Thanks.

633
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,629
Besides, there's one thing I know
I can do way better than Taj.

634
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:17,153
Really? What is that?

635

Okay, break it up,
break it up.

644
00:39:57,720 --> 00:39:59,153
Stop the music.
Stop the music.

645
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,109
Look, I like you guys' attitude,
but let me ask you something.

646
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,350
Do you really know
what this play is about?

647
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:07,793
ALL: No.

648
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,677
That's what I thought.
Sit down.

649
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,954
All right, so I'm gonna
give you the lowdown.

650
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,873
So, the Capulets
are Juliet's parents.

651
00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:20,597
They don't get along
with Romeo's parents.

652
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:25,276
You guys hate each other. It's kind
of like rival gangs in The Flats.

653
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,391
(MUSIC PLAYING)

654
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,353
Everyone knows
the basic plot of the story.

655
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,432
Boy and girl fall in love,
and die in the end.

656
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,150
But it's so much
more than that.

657
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:53,709
It's a story of forbidden love surrounded
by violence, revenge, and death.

658
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:59,835
People died basically for no reason,
just like here in The Flats.

659
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,353
And Juliet is in
the middle of it all.

660
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,318
Alone, confused, and afraid.

661
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,795
So, Benvolio and Mercutio,
they're Romeo's friends.

662
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,555
And they get into it with
Tybalt, who is Juliet's cousin.

663
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:25,755
He's one badass dude.

664
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,432
(ALL CHUCKLING)

665
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,632
Our version of the story opens

666
00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:32,154
on a big rumble
between the families.

667
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:35,277
Everyone's fighting like it's a
Saturday night in The Flats.

668
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,157
And these fights are sick.

669
00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:39,390
During one of the fights,
Romeo ends up getting killed

670
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,471
by Juliet's
badass cousin, Tybalt.

671
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,272
Eventually,
Romeo gets run out of town

672
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:44,998
and that makes
things much worse.

673
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,038
But during our
opening fight, this cop,

674
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:49,633
better known as
the Prince of Verona,

675
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:51,551
shows up and
breaks up the fight.

676
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,312
He tells them that
the next guy to start a fight

677
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,516
is gonna be punished
with death.

678
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,871
So, they all scatter.

679
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,356
But let's get back to the
Capulets and the Montagues.

680
00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:09,359
Juliet's parents are
talking to this guy, Paris.

681
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,631
He's one of their own,

682
00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:14,632
but he's just a rich guy
that's got his eye on Juliet.

683
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,751
(ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYING)

684
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,273
And right then and there,

685
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,591
they tell her that she has to marry
the guy, without even asking.

686
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:32,391
So, they send out
invites for a party

687
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,152
to get the two
of them together,

688
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,077
and it's Capulets only.

689
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,188
And my man, Romeo, shows up,
steals the invite,

690
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,397
and has the bright idea
of crashing the party.

691
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,710
That's where he meets Juliet.

692
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,475
And it's love at first sight.

693
00:43:05,720 --> 00:43:08,109
And that, folks,
is just the beginning.

694
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:09,953
Yeah!

695
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:12,115

Now, Romeo, being a Montague,
and Juliet, being a Capulet,

could never be accurate.

01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:31,513
These violent delights
have violent ends,

1215
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:34,230
drawing swords,
spilling blood.

1216
01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:36,112
Vicious brawls over grudges.

1217
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:37,673
Vengeance and
rage lead to death,

1218
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:39,591
leaving no room
for discussions.

1219
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:43,078
Banished for his actions,
Romeo has got to leave.

1220
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:46,837
Will they ever be together? We'll
just have to wait and see.

1221
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,036
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

1223
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:53,949
Whoo!

(WHISTLING)

1225
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:08,952
(HEART BEATING)

1226
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:10,632
They want her
to marry that guy.

1227
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:12,435
It's not good.

1228
01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:14,073
(THUMPING)

1229
01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:16,230
(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING)

1231
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:00,873
Did she really kill herself?

1232
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:02,234
Nah, she's just faking.

1233
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:03,673
But then she can't be...
Come on, show respect.

1234
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:04,749
Okay.

1235
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:06,478
(INAUDIBLE)

1236
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:19,158
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

1237
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:23,229
Whoo!

1238
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:33,033
Things have come full circle
in the state of despair.

1239
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:36,353
Juliet holds the solution in
her hand and just stares.

1240
01:27:37,480 --> 01:27:39,072
Slowly dancing
with the potion,

1241
01:27:39,160 --> 01:27:40,752
yeah, she's going
through the motions.

1242
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:44,709
A selfless sacrifice, hoping
the gates of love will open.

1243
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:47,917
Ready to die for her love,
ready to rise up above.

1244
01:27:48,440 --> 01:27:50,874
Putting an end to all the pain is
all she's hoping that it does.

1245
01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:56,271
So, will Romeo come save his
only love before her time's out?

1246
01:27:57,800 --> 01:27:59,313
Will true love prevail?

1247
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:01,713
The time has come
for us to find out.

1248
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:03,995
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

1249

I'm talking about.

(ALL CHEERING)

1255
01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:35,028
You know, when Nureyev danced this,
they clapped for 40 minutes.

1256
01:30:35,440 --> 01:30:37,476
(SCOFFS) Is that right? Mm-hmm.

1257
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:41,070
(CHEERING)

1258

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

1259
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:56,835
I don't even know what to say.

1260
01:30:57,200 --> 01:30:59,191
Say you did it.
We all did it.

1261
01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:03,437
Well, I imagine you
won't have much trouble

1262
01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:04,834
selling tickets
from here on out.

1263
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:08,239
I hope not, but we
still don't have a space.

1264
01:31:08,680 --> 01:31:10,955
Actually, I don't think
that will be a problem.

1265
01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:15,590
How would you like to establish
a permanent dance center,

1266
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:17,238
here at the Bijou?

1267

(CHUCKLES)

1268
01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:20,315
You're serious?

1269
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:22,470
The community
needs this place.

1270
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:24,835
That's great, but what
made you change your mind?

1271
01:31:25,640 --> 01:31:29,633
Consider it
a charitable gesture.

1272
01:31:29,720 --> 01:31:32,553
Yeah. Her company wants
to have the appearance

1273
01:31:32,640 --> 01:31:33,629
of being good people.

1274
01:31:33,720 --> 01:31:34,709
(ALL CHUCKLE)

1275
01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:38,714

Except I'd like to ask
for a favor, please.

1278
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:46,395
Which is?

1279
01:31:46,880 --> 01:31:50,395
I'd like to name it after my
mother and 'Shani's brother.

1280
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:52,472
All right, yeah.
