Fame - Ambition and Dreams of a Young Dancer
Hilary:
You see, I was offered this place in the San Francisco Ballet. I haven't told anyone yet, but I'm gonna take it. I don't care what they think. I'm a good dancer. Better than good. Maybe even the best in the school. And that's not conceit, it's just simple honesty. If I stay in New York, everyone will think I bought my way into ABT. And I'm not starving myself for Balanchine's City Ballet. Not that I mind doing the corps de ballet bullshit. I'd sooner do it out of town. I'll pay my dues on the west coast, come back to New York a star. You see, I've always had this crazy dream of dancing all the classical roles before I'm twenty-one. I want Giselles and CoppÈlias coming out of my feet. And Sleeping Beauties, and the Swan. I want bravos in Stuttgart and Leningrad and Paris. Maybe even a ballet created especially for me. You see? There's no room for a baby.
Nurse:
Will this be Master Charge or American Express, honey?

I'm a professional. A few unkind words aren't going to bother me. I know its not going to be all standing ovations.
Hilary:
Certainly not for you, my dear.
Coco:
Look, I'm not my dear! You can fuck my dear.
Hilary: [Looks at Leroy]
Well, thank you. That might be fun.
Coco:
That might be impossible. He's not into vanilla.
Hilary:
Might be a nice change, from black cherry.
Coco:
You know what they say? The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice.
Hilary:
Yes, but who wants diabetes?
