Cassie: (spoken) I can't get a job Zach… God, you sound like all my friends - my fans. Acting like I'm a star and don't know it - when the truth is I never even came close and nobody has the guts to tell me. Well, it would be nice to be a star… But I'm not, I'm a dancer.
(singing) GIVE ME SOMEBODY TO DANCE FOR, GIVE ME SOMEBODY TO SHOW. LET ME WAKE UP IN THE MORNING TO FIND I HAVE SOMEWHERE EXCITING TO GO.
Zach: So, you're going through a slow period, it happens to everyone. Something will happen.
Cassie: That's what I kept telling myself in California, and I kept telling myself that and telling myself that… Well… Nothing will happen. I can't act.
Zach: What?
Cassie: I can't act. And there I am in California supposed to be this actress. Well, it didn't take me long to find out I can't act… Didn't take Hollywood very long either.
Zach: You didn't work out there?
Cassie: Oh, sure… A rotten part in a so-so film - part ended up getting cut, thank God - I was a go-go dancer in a TV movie of the week. Let's see - Oh, yeah - commercials, I almost got to squeeze a roll of toilet paper but I lost out in the finals. Isn't' that something? Seventeen years in the business and I end up flunking toilet paper squeezing? And I was a dancing Band-Aid - that was fun… We had an earthquake… And I got a terrific tan - and surely you must have heard about…
Zach: I did hear you were going out with some big agent. Being a bit wild, running around, carrying on…
Cassie: Well, when you're a woman of leisure what else is there to do but get a bit wild and run around? Not to mention getting fat - and going crazy - Which is why I came back to New York and which is why I am here today, Zach, old dear… Little pussy cat. I need a job.
(singing) TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT I CAN BELIEVE IN. TO HAVE SOMETHING TO BE. USE ME... CHOOSE ME
Zach: I just can't see you dancing in the chorus, Cassie.
Cassie: Why not?
Zach: Listen, if you need some money, call my business manager.
Cassie: Well, sure I need money. Who doesn't? But I don't need a handout. I need a job. I need a job and I don't know any other way to say it. Do you want me to say it again?
Zach: No.
Cassie: Fine, then we got that far. Look, I haven't worked in two years, not really. There's nothing left for me to do. So - I'm putting myself on the line. (Stepping to the line) Yes I'm putting myself on your line. I don't want to wait on tables. And what I really don't want to do is teach other people how to do what I should be doing myself…
(singing) GOD, I'M A DANCER, A DANCER DANCES!
GIVE ME SOMEBODY TO DANCE WITH. GIVE ME A PLACE TO FIT IN HELP ME RETURN TO THE WORLD OF LIVING BY SHOWING ME HOW TO BEGIN.
PLAY ME THE MUSIC, GIVE ME A CHANCE TO COME THROUGH. ALL I EVER NEEDED WAS THE MUSIC, AND THE MIRROR, AND THE CHANCE TO DANCE FOR YOU.
GIVE ME A JOB AND YOU INSTANTLY GET ME INVOLVED. IF YOU GIVE ME A JOB, THEN THE REST OF THE CRAP WILL GET SOLVED. PUT ME TO WORK, YOU WOULD THINK THAT BY NOW I'M ALLOWERD. I'LL DO YOU PROUD!
THROW ME A ROPE TO GRAB ON TO. HELP ME TO PROVE THAT I'M STRONG. GIVE ME THE CHANCE TO LOOK FORWARD TO SAYIN': 'HEY, LISTEN THEY'RE PLAYIN' MY SONG.'
PLAY ME THE MUSIC. GIVE ME A CHANCE TO COME THROUGH. ALL I EVER NEEDED WAS THE MUSIC, AND THE MIRROR, AND A CHANCE TO DANCE....
