I was in the paper once.
I won a beauty contest.
Junior Miss Oldham, I was.
But I thought you were from Grimsby.
I am.
Guess what? There are loads of paparazzi outside.
I think they're looking for you.
Amazing! You try it.
Well, looks like you've made it.
Yeah, get out there.
Excellent work.
Well done.
It was a good try.
Well done, Danny.
Good essay.
Now, today I want to talk to you about the Meisner Method.
It's a bit of a tricky one, this, because it deals with authenticity.
The ability to stay in the moment.
Earth to Lola? Lola? Lola? I say, Lola.
Hiya.
You haven't really been listening to a word I've been saying, have you? No.
No.
I think, maybe tomorrow, you should share with your classmates the benefit of your insight into the Meisner Method.
A 20 minute talk, with examples.
I look forward to it.
You are not getting this, guys.
Your arms are all over the place.
Hit every position.
My nan has better moves than you and she's dead.
Seriously, I'm not seeing a group of dedicated, professional, young dancers.
I am seeing a gang of sixth-formers who are rehearsing a routine to show off at the school disco.
Lola.
What's up? You got somewhere to be? I'm sorry.
How are you meant to give everything you can if you're so distracted? I'm sorry, I'm just really tired.
I'll do better tomorrow.
Newsflash: you'll do better right now, cos we're working through the break.
What's the matter with that man? He's so full-on.
Just think about it.
Two whole years of that.
I don't care how hot he is, his classes are a living hell.
Hi.
It's Lola, isn't it? How's it going? Er, yeah, OK.
Sorry, do I know you? Lizzie Porter, I'm a journalist.
Do you mind if I? Do you mind if I ask you something? Yeah? What do you want out of life? Oh, that's easy.
I wanna be the best, most stunning dancer ever.
So why are you wasting your time at school? You could be out there, Lola, living the dream.
I dunno.
Wouldn't know where to start.
I could help you, if you like.
Put in a few calls.
Get you in front of someone like Anton Davids.
He and I go way back.
What, THE Anton Davids? He's like my hero.
He's the best choreographer in the country.
Listen, I know he's looking to cast girls like you in one of his music videos.
Boyzone.
I could have a word, see if I can get you an audition.
That would be amazing.
Hey You're notspoofing me, are you? Look, you do me a favour, I do you a favour.
That's the way it works.
What kind of favour? Tell me about you and Matt Willis.
My readers can't resist a love story.
But there's nothing Look, you don't have to make the decision now.
Go away, think about where you are and where you wanna be.
Call me.
Lola.
You do know I was being hard on you for a reason, don't you? Yeah, I was terrible.
No, you were good, but not good enough.
You can't afford to let yourself get distracted.
I think you have the makings of a great dancer, but you've just gotta give it everything you've got.
No-one gets anywhere in this business unless they're prepared to give 100%, 24/7.
Are you ready for that? Yeah, course.
But isn't it about who you know? And getting a lucky break? Lola.
Over here.
Trust me, sweetie, this is gonna be the best move you've ever made.
What exactly do I have to do? You don't have to do anything.
You've just got to talk about you and Matt.
Well, what kind of stuff do you wanna know? Anything you wanna tell me.
Like where you first met.
How long you've known each other.
And then what? I've got a contract here for you, for a grand.
I've got a photographer waiting on standby to make you look even more gorgeous.
I need to make that call to Anton, get you that audition.
This is a big day for you.
You're gonna be famous.
So what's it to be? I've wanted this forever Since I could remember Pictures of Madonna Made me wanna wanna work a little harder Go a little faster I do it for my mama Ain't talking to my father Let me take you to the after-show I'm an overnight sensation I'm the darling of the nation Turn up to every occasion Got my backstage invitation Who needs work and dedication?

Right.
Tell me about the first day you met Matt Willis.
Well "It was love at first sight.
Just looking into his beautiful brown eyes made me go weak at the knees.
" Hey, babe, my eyes are green.
You kept this very quiet.
When? Yesterday.
Wow! Front page, pages four, three, and five.
That's mad.
Total overexposure.
It's a load of old lies, though.
He's got a wife.
Look, I did this for a reason, all right? I've signed a contract and everything.
This is really gonna open doors for me, guys.
Yeah, straight into court on a libel charge.
We're late and we have to go and you're still not ready.
Oh, I'm not coming in till later.
I'm gonna get my nails done first and then, I think, I need a whole new wardrobe.
Got my image to think about.
And money to burn.
So what are we gonna do when they start asking where she is at school? Do I look like I care? Danny, what do you think? Which one of you girls are handy with an iron? Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention, I said we'd say something about the second year's Tuesday night reading.
This week's surrealist poetry and prose.
So is an angry surrealist a man with a fish on his shoulder - .
.
or a fish with a man on his shoulder? Wow! Lola, you look well, different.
What's with the character transplant? Hello? Oh, hi, Lizzie.
Good to hear from you.
Oh, my gosh.
Really? Fantastic.
Tonight? Sure, I'll be there.
Sorry, guys.
I've gotta go.
I've been invited to this fantastic celeb party at the Lotus Lounge.
You'll never guess who's gonna be there.
Only Anton "King of the Choreographers" Davids.
You can't swerve any more classes.
Gotta get ready, duh! Well, I'm not gonna cover for you.
You look fabulous.
I know.
I'm like totally channelling Mariah.
Oh.
I see you had your shades surgically removed.
Good call.
You are so hilariously funny, not.
I can't believe you're going to Lotus Lounge.
It'd be much more fun if we'd come with.
I don't think so.
Hi, it's Lola.
Lola Jonze.
I'm a guest of Anton's.
It says Lola Jonze right there.
If vision is the only validation Most of my life isn't real Cos if you're not really there Then the stars don't even matter Now I'm filled to the top with fear That it's all just a bunch of matter Cos if you're not really there Then I don't wanna be either I wanna be next to you Black and gold Sorry, I don't wanna bother you, but I'm Lola.
A friend of Lizzie Porter.
Oh, hi, Lola.
How are you? Good.
Better than good.
Brilliant.
So how is the old cow? Oh, Lizzie? Yeah, she's totally fine.
She ermsaid you and I should get together some time.
Said you were auditioning a new video? Boyzone? Good to see you, guys.
Pleasure meeting you.
Me too.
How are you? - You all right? - I'm good, yeah.
Sorry, this is Lola.
Hi, Lola.
Stephen.
Hi.
Keith, Lola.
Nice to meet you.
Can I just say I think you guys getting back together is just great.
You're never gonna believe this, but I swear Love Me For A Reason was my favourite song for years.
OK, I was only two when it came out, - but my mum said - Thanks for making me feel old.
Sorry, this isjust sort of surreal, hanging out with you guys.
But I was wondering if maybe I could audition for your video, cos I'm a dancer.
Yeah? Oh.
What sort of stuff have you done? Ermlots and lots, but I don't like to show off about it.
- A shy dancer, is it? - Yeah.
Unusual that, isn't it? OK.
Gotta go.
Tell you what, get your agent to give me a call.
OK.
Who represents you? ErmBert Steinberg.
- Well, where's he based? - London.
He doesn't exist, does he? Well, really nice to meet you.
Oh, wait.
I just wanna be in your video.
Wow! I love this song.
This is fate.
I can audition for you right now.
I'm curious, for you Caught my attention I kissed a girl And I liked it The taste of her cherry ChapStick I kissed a girl, just to try it I hope my boyfriend don't mind it It felt so wrong, it felt so right Don't mean I'm in love tonight I kissed a girl and I liked it I liked it Straight to voicemail again.
Well, at least we know Lola's having fun.
Right, well, I'm off to bed.
PDAs are just so gross.
PDAs? Public displays of affection.
Yeah, but we're at home.
Whatever.
It's still gross.
Well done.
Really nice moves.
Thanks.
OK, fair play to you, Lola.
That was very good.
All right, auditions are being held on Thursday at the dance studio, Charlotte Street, two o'clock.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Good luck.
- Take care.
- Bye.
- I'm sorry about that.
- No, it's fine.
So, how did it go? Never mind.
It's the dress rehearsal today.
Why aren't you ready? It was fantastic.
Total fabulosity and then some.
So how come you didn't share it with someone, like a friend, whose phone calls you didn't return? I got some modelling offers.
But the really great news is that I got an audition tomorrow, with Anton Davids.
Hello?! Forget tomorrow.
We've gotta get through today first.
- ??? - Sssh! Do you mind? Sorry, not you.
A casting? Oh, is it today? No, I'm not sure Really? Well, if you put it like that, I'll see you later.
Still no sign of Lola? Must be having a late lunch at the Ivy with Victoria Beckham (!) - This is no laughing matter.
- Too right.
We can't wait any longer.
We're gonna have to start again, new choreography, the lot.
If you had any plans for tonight, forget them, it's gonna be a late one.
??I've got a birthday party to go to.
Sorry.
If you've got a problem, take it up with Lola.
All right.
Let's go.
Up.
You are in so much trouble with Stefan, man.
Yeah, and me.
We've only just finished dance class.
I had a casting today.
And I got down to the last two.
Come on, guys.
I could do with a bit of support here.
I didn't get it.
Great So you let everyone down for nothing, then? OK.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
Cheers.
Right, Lola.
You're next on the sound desk.
Can we lose the attitude, please? Listen, Anna, I know you have your job to do and stuff, but I'm gonna have to bail, cos all this techie business is so not my thing.
Lola! So now you're the one deciding the curriculum, are you? Well, you've got to admit, some of the stuff we learn here is totally irrelevant.
Is that right? Yeah.
I'm telling you now.
I don't wanna mix music, I wanna dance to it.
So you sell a few lies to the press and now you think you're something special? I'm disappointed in you, Lola.
I thought you'd more sense.
Well, if that's the case, maybe I should speak to Mr Nugent later.
I'm sure he'll understand.
Good idea.
Why don't you go and talk to him right now? Pick and mix? Sure, yeah.
Thanks.
What do you think would happen if you just ate Gummy Bears for the rest of your life? All my teeth would fall out? No, before that.
You'd be missing out on thecandy shrimp.
A classic: cola bottle.
The jelly snake.
See what I'm saying? Kind of You need to keep your options open, Lola.
Experience everything this school has to offer.
You have to prove that you're dedicated.
Turn up to all your lessons on time.
Keep learning.
I do love it here.
Of course I do, but But? Could I have the afternoon off, please? Cos I've got an audition lined up, with the great Anton Davids.
Can you imagine that? Anton Davids! So what exactly is it that you're doing here? Just treading water? Passing the time till the main chance comes along? No, of course not.
It's against school rules to take professional engagements, you know.
So if you wanna go to that audition, the way I see it, you have a choice.
If you really think you've got a shot with the big time, then go for it, by all means.
But, if you do, you're out of here, for good.
So what's it gonna be, Lola? Are you going to tell us? I told him I'm leaving.
My decision.
I'm so out of here.
Don't give up On us Never ever Yeah yeah See her stepping out the Ferrari She thinks she's the life and soul of the party You just see her Dressed in Versace Acting like da bomb But she looking so nasty We used to hang together She used to roll with us Now she's on another planet She doesn't understand it You need to get over yourself Get over yourself Come back down to earth Get over yourself Get out before you're hurt Do you see it? Her picture in the paper Caught up in the hype Darling do yourself a favour Don't believe it Get some sugar from your neighbours She's gonna come down, baby, sooner or later We used to hang together She used to roll with us Now she's on another planet She doesn't understand it You need to get over yourself Get over yourself Come back down to earth Get over yourself Get over yourself Get out before you're hurt Hey hey hey hey Don't give up On us Never, ever Get over it, get over it Get over, get over You need to get over yourself Get over yourself Come back down to earth Get over yourself, get over yourself Get out before you're hurt Get over it, get over it Tell me what you want from me so I can try to make you see that I'm in no position - Hi.
I'm Lola.
It's just that Anton invited me.
Himself.
There's nothing here.
In person.
To my face.
Told me to come to the audition.
You're just going have to wait in line.
It's unbelievably hard to love you But I love you anyway I've been trying so hard not to love you OK, that's it for today.
But Anton said - It's so weird without Lola.
Hello.
She was a total cow to us.
Do you reckon she'll have to give her room up at Miss Troy's? You mean we have to find someone new? It's real tricky when you lose one of your crew.
But you know what? There's nothing like hard work to pull you back up again.
But what you guys have been doing so far is nothing like hard work.
So come on.
Impress me.
It's only me and you And good stuff going down Ooh Look good, look good You're good-looking, yeah You look good, good, good You're good looking yeah 'Hello.

Hi, Lola.
Thought you'd be out.
As per.
I really need to chillax.
I just had the day from hell.
I'm surprised you're still slumming it with us, to be honest.
I thought you had to be out by the end of the week.
Yeah.
I went to see this ginormous penthouse flat.
By the river.
Wow.
But I'm not sure it was for me.
'Hello.
' Hello.
Can I speak to Lizzie, please? - 'Who is it?' - Tell her it's Lola.
It's Lola.

I never miss an episode, specially when you're in it.
That right? Yeah, totally.
So did you see the one where me and Betty got it together? Yeah, I did.
You were so hot.
Yeah.
Betty's the old girl who works behind the bar in the Rovers.
SureI knew that.
I was just teasing.
Oh, I love this one.
Fancy a dance? No, ta, you're all right.
Do you want to buy me a drink, then? I don't think so.
I've got a girlfriend.
No worries.
I won't say anything, if you don't.
I can't believe it.
Are you stalking me? Me? No.
I just - How do you think my wife felt, when she read your lies? You wouldn't care, would you? People like you ruin anyone's life, as long as you get your pretty face in the papers.
It's not like that, honestly.
Stay away from me, you Please, just listen.
Hello? "Very good work, babe.
" So what's the story? Hey, Lola.

I've been a total idiot.
Made a real mess of things.
Go on.
You gave me an ultimatum and .
.
I made the wrong choice.
Don't let my topiary put you off your stroke.
I've got to learn my craft, give it my best andkeep on giving.
So what I'm asking you and .
.
I know it's a really big ask, is Well, is there any way you'd be prepared to give me another chance? Somebody else has taken your place.
So erm you'd have to audition.
Sorry? If you stand even the slightest chance of coming back, you'll have to audition.
Of course.
Yeah, anything.
Remember the dance solo you were learning? Yeah.
That's your audition piece.
Fantastic! Brilliant! I'll start rehearsing.
You'll be performing it for me, Anna and Stefan at 9am tomorrow morning.
Tom- tomorrow morning? Problem? No.
Not at all.
Are you here to give us a masterclass on how to make a complete idiot of yourself So you really hit the big time I'm really, really sorry.
Mr Nugent's giving me a second chance.
Said if I do a good audition, I can come back.
I thoughtif he could forgive me, then maybe you could We're late for class.
It's just, I'm a bit out of practice and I've not got much time.
Better get on with it, then, hadn't you? My mind is full of all I'm not My heart reminds me of what I forgot Look, she knows she made a mistake and she's dead sorry.
Come on, guys.
Are you telling me you wouldn't have done the same thing? Trying to change my point of view And we all have disappointments And we all got things to learn And we're picking up the pieces And we're picking up the pieces I think it's gonna be all right I think it's gonna be OK I can see the skies are slowly changing I see light behind the rain I think it's gonna be all right I think it's gonna be OK And I'm picking up the pieces And I am picking up the pieces And for a moment I was lost And in a moment I was found again And we all need to take our chances Cos we all will make mistakes And we're picking up the pieces And we're picking up the pieces I think it's gonna be all right I think it's gonna be OK Anna? Pretty lacklustre.
Have you ever considered doing anything else? Likesound engineering, for example? I'm so sorry.
Stefan, what did you make of it? Technically, you were all over the place.
We didn't expect perfection.
That's not what this is about.
But I wanted to see commitment, drive, determination.
Proof that you really, really want this.
I do! So, was it worth it? Did you enjoy your taste of fame? No.
Becauseit wasn't real.
I don't want to be famous for the sake of it, for kiss-and-tell stories.
I'm worth more than that.
Next time - and there WILL be a next time - you'll be famous for being talented.
Welcome back, Lola.
I think it's gonna be all right I think it's gonna be OK I can see the skies are slowly changing I see light behind the rain I think it's gonna be all right I think it's gonna be OK And I'm picking up the pieces I am picking up the pieces And I can make it better this time around And nothing's gonna stop me or break me down I know I'm getting closer I'm almost there I know, I know, I know, yeah I think it's gonna be all right I think it's gonna be OK I can see the skies are slowly changing I see light behind the rain I think it's gonna be all right I think it's gonna be OK And I'm picking up the pieces I am picking up the pieces I've got my life at home and my life here.
And never the twain shall meet Talent alert! Man, that's not talent, that's my brother.
That school's changed you.
The school didn't change me.
I changed me.
You got us involved in a street-dance band?! I so can't street dance! You think it's funny I like dancing? Well, mate, dancing put more bread on the table than YOU ever did.
Go back to your ballet-dancing mates There was a shooting last night.

So what are we gonna do when they start asking where she is at school? Do I look like I care? Danny, what do you think? Which one of you girls are handy with an iron? Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention, I said we'd say something about the second year's Tuesday night reading.
This week's surrealist poetry and prose.
So is an angry surrealist a man with a fish on his shoulder - .

What's with the character transplant? Hello? Oh, hi, Lizzie.

You'll never guess who's gonna be there.
Only Anton "King of the Choreographers" Davids.
You can't swerve any more classes.
Gotta get ready, duh! Well, I'm not gonna cover for you.
You look fabulous.
I know.
I'm like totally channelling Mariah.
Oh.
I see you had your shades surgically removed.
Good call.
You are so hilariously funny, not.
I can't believe you're going to Lotus Lounge.
It'd be much more fun if we'd come with.
I don't think so.
Hi, it's Lola.
Lola Jonze.
I'm a guest of Anton's.
It says Lola Jonze right there.
If vision is the only validation Most of my life isn't real Cos if you're not really there Then the stars don't even matter Now I'm filled to the top with fear That it's all just a bunch of matter Cos if you're not really there Then I don't wanna be either I wanna be next to you Black and gold Sorry, I don't wanna bother you, but I'm Lola.

Sorry, this is Lola.
Hi, Lola.
Stephen.
Hi.
Keith, Lola.
Nice to meet you.
Can I just say I think you guys getting back together is just great.
You're never gonna believe this, but I swear Love Me For A Reason was my favourite song for years.
OK, I was only two when it came out, - but my mum said - Thanks for making me feel old.
Sorry, this isjust sort of surreal, hanging out with you guys.
But I was wondering if maybe I could audition for your video, cos I'm a dancer.
Yeah? Oh.
What sort of stuff have you done? Ermlots and lots, but I don't like to show off about it.
- A shy dancer, is it? - Yeah.
Unusual that, isn't it? OK.
Gotta go.
Tell you what, get your agent to give me a call.
OK.
Who represents you? ErmBert Steinberg.
- Well, where's he based? - London.
He doesn't exist, does he? Well, really nice to meet you.
Oh, wait.
I just wanna be in your video.
Wow! I love this song.
This is fate.
I can audition for you right now.
I'm curious, for you Caught my attention I kissed a girl And I liked it The taste of her cherry ChapStick I kissed a girl, just to try it I hope my boyfriend don't mind it It felt so wrong, it felt so right Don't mean I'm in love tonight I kissed a girl and I liked it I liked it Straight to voicemail again.
Well, at least we know Lola's having fun.
Right, well, I'm off to bed.
PDAs are just so gross.
PDAs? Public displays of affection.
Yeah, but we're at home.
Whatever.
It's still gross.
Well done.
Really nice moves.
Thanks.
OK, fair play to you, Lola.
That was very good.
All right, auditions are being held on Thursday at the dance studio, Charlotte Street, two o'clock.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Good luck.
- Take care.
- Bye.
- I'm sorry about that.
- No, it's fine.
So, how did it go? Never mind.
It's the dress rehearsal today.
Why aren't you ready? It was fantastic.
Total fabulosity and then some.
So how come you didn't share it with someone, like a friend, whose phone calls you didn't return? I got some modelling offers.
But the really great news is that I got an audition tomorrow, with Anton Davids.
Hello?! Forget tomorrow.
We've gotta get through today first.
- ??? - Sssh! Do you mind? Sorry, not you.
A casting? Oh, is it today? No, I'm not sure Really? Well, if you put it like that, I'll see you later.
Still no sign of Lola? Must be having a late lunch at the Ivy with Victoria Beckham (!) - This is no laughing matter.
- Too right.
We can't wait any longer.
We're gonna have to start again, new choreography, the lot.
If you had any plans for tonight, forget them, it's gonna be a late one.
??I've got a birthday party to go to.
Sorry.
If you've got a problem, take it up with Lola.
All right.
Let's go.
Up.
You are in so much trouble with Stefan, man.
Yeah, and me.
We've only just finished dance class.
I had a casting today.
And I got down to the last two.
Come on, guys.
I could do with a bit of support here.
I didn't get it.
Great So you let everyone down for nothing, then? OK.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
Cheers.
Right, Lola.
You're next on the sound desk.
Can we lose the attitude, please? Listen, Anna, I know you have your job to do and stuff, but I'm gonna have to bail, cos all this techie business is so not my thing.
Lola! So now you're the one deciding the curriculum, are you? Well, you've got to admit, some of the stuff we learn here is totally irrelevant.
Is that right? Yeah.
I'm telling you now.
I don't wanna mix music, I wanna dance to it.
So you sell a few lies to the press and now you think you're something special? I'm disappointed in you, Lola.
I thought you'd more sense.
Well, if that's the case, maybe I should speak to Mr Nugent later.
I'm sure he'll understand.
Good idea.
Why don't you go and talk to him right now? Pick and mix? Sure, yeah.
Thanks.
What do you think would happen if you just ate Gummy Bears for the rest of your life? All my teeth would fall out? No, before that.
You'd be missing out on thecandy shrimp.
A classic: cola bottle.
The jelly snake.
See what I'm saying? Kind of You need to keep your options open, Lola.
Experience everything this school has to offer.
You have to prove that you're dedicated.
Turn up to all your lessons on time.
Keep learning.
I do love it here.
Of course I do, but But? Could I have the afternoon off, please? Cos I've got an audition lined up, with the great Anton Davids.
Can you imagine that? Anton Davids! So what exactly is it that you're doing here? Just treading water? Passing the time till the main chance comes along? No, of course not.
It's against school rules to take professional engagements, you know.
So if you wanna go to that audition, the way I see it, you have a choice.
If you really think you've got a shot with the big time, then go for it, by all means.
But, if you do, you're out of here, for good.
So what's it gonna be, Lola? Are you going to tell us? I told him I'm leaving.
My decision.
I'm so out of here.
Don't give up On us Never ever Yeah yeah See her stepping out the Ferrari She thinks she's the life and soul of the party You just see her Dressed in Versace Acting like da bomb But she looking so nasty We used to hang together She used to roll with us Now she's on another planet She doesn't understand it You need to get over yourself Get over yourself Come back down to earth Get over yourself Get out before you're hurt Do you see it?

It's just that Anton invited me.
Himself.
There's nothing here.
In person.
To my face.
Told me to come to the audition.
You're just going have to wait in line.
It's unbelievably hard to love you But I love you anyway I've been trying so hard not to love you OK, that's it for today.
But Anton said - It's so weird without Lola.
Hello.
She was a total cow to us.
Do you reckon she'll have to give her room up at Miss Troy's? You mean we have to find someone new? It's real tricky when you lose one of your crew.
But you know what? There's nothing like hard work to pull you back up again.
But what you guys have been doing so far is nothing like hard work.
So come on.
Impress me.
It's only me and you And good stuff going down Ooh Look good, look good You're good-looking, yeah You look good, good, good You're good looking yeah 'Hello.

I just had the day from hell.
I'm surprised you're still slumming it with us, to be honest.
I thought you had to be out by the end of the week.
Yeah.
I went to see this ginormous penthouse flat.
By the river.
Wow.
But I'm not sure it was for me.
'Hello.
' Hello.
Can I speak to Lizzie, please? - 'Who is it?' - Tell her it's Lola.

I never miss an episode, specially when you're in it.
That right? Yeah, totally.
So did you see the one where me and Betty got it together? Yeah, I did.
You were so hot.
Yeah.
Betty's the old girl who works behind the bar in the Rovers.
SureI knew that.
I was just teasing.
Oh, I love this one.
Fancy a dance? No, ta, you're all right.
Do you want to buy me a drink, then? I don't think so.
I've got a girlfriend.
No worries.
I won't say anything, if you don't.
I can't believe it.
Are you stalking me? Me? No.
I just - How do you think my wife felt, when she read your lies? You wouldn't care, would you? People like you ruin anyone's life, as long as you get your pretty face in the papers.
It's not like that, honestly.
Stay away from me, you Please, just listen.
Hello? "Very good work, babe.
" So what's the story? Hey, Lola.
Great photo, girl.
Lola.
Can I Do you have a minute, please? I'm really, really sorry.
I've been a total idiot.
Made a real mess of things.
Go on.
You gave me an ultimatum and .
.
I made the wrong choice.
Don't let my topiary put you off your stroke.
I've got to learn my craft, give it my best andkeep on giving.
So what I'm asking you and .
.
I know it's a really big ask, is Well, is there any way you'd be prepared to give me another chance? Somebody else has taken your place.
So erm you'd have to audition.
Sorry? If you stand even the slightest chance of coming back, you'll have to audition.
Of course.
Yeah, anything.
Remember the dance solo you were learning? Yeah.
That's your audition piece.
Fantastic! Brilliant! I'll start rehearsing.
You'll be performing it for me, Anna and Stefan at 9am tomorrow morning.
Tom- tomorrow morning? Problem? No.
Not at all.
Are you here to give us a masterclass on how to make a complete idiot of yourself So you really hit the big time I'm really, really sorry.
Mr Nugent's giving me a second chance.
Said if I do a good audition, I can come back.
I thoughtif he could forgive me, then maybe you could We're late for class.
It's just, I'm a bit out of practice and I've not got much time.
Better get on with it, then, hadn't you? My mind is full of all I'm not My heart reminds me of what I forgot Look, she knows she made a mistake and she's dead sorry.
Come on, guys.
Are you telling me you wouldn't have done the same thing? Trying to change my point of view And we all have disappointments And we all got things to learn And we're picking up the pieces And we're picking up the pieces I think it's gonna be all right I think it's gonna be OK I can see the skies are slowly changing I see light behind the rain I think it's gonna be all right I think it's gonna be OK And I'm picking up the pieces And I am picking up the pieces And for a moment I was lost And in a moment I was found again And we all need to take our chances Cos we all will make mistakes And we're picking up the pieces And we're picking up the pieces I think it's gonna be all right I think it's gonna be OK Anna? Pretty lacklustre.
Have you ever considered doing anything else? Likesound engineering, for example? I'm so sorry.
Stefan, what did you make of it? Technically, you were all over the place.
We didn't expect perfection.
That's not what this is about.
But I wanted to see commitment, drive, determination.
Proof that you really, really want this.
I do! So, was it worth it? Did you enjoy your taste of fame? No.
Becauseit wasn't real.
I don't want to be famous for the sake of it, for kiss-and-tell stories.
I'm worth more than that.
Next time - and there WILL be a next time - you'll be famous for being talented.
Welcome back, Lola.
I think it's gonna be all right I think it's gonna be OK I can see the skies are slowly changing I see light behind the rain I think it's gonna be all right I think it's gonna be OK And I'm picking up the pieces I am picking up the pieces And I can make it better this time around And nothing's gonna stop me or break me down I know I'm getting closer I'm almost there I know, I know, I know, yeah I think it's gonna be all right I think it's gonna be OK I can see the skies are slowly changing I see light behind the rain I think it's gonna be all right I think it's gonna be OK And I'm picking up the pieces I am picking up the pieces I've got my life at home and my life here.
And never the twain shall meet Talent alert! Man, that's not talent, that's my brother.
That school's changed you.
The school didn't change me.
I changed me.
You got us involved in a street-dance band?! I so can't street dance! You think it's funny I like dancing? Well, mate, dancing put more bread on the table than YOU ever did.
Go back to your ballet-dancing mates There was a shooting last night.
