Quotes
-
Felicie : [on her first day of dance class, shyly greeting the other girls] Hi. Hello.
[to herself; when none of the girls respond]
Felicie : Okay. Super.
[louder]
Felicie : I'm Felicie.
Nora : [confused] Felicie?
Felicie : [realizes her mistake] Uh, no, no, no, no, no. Sorry. I'm... friendly, ever so friendly. And my name is Camille.
Nora : Okay. I'm Nora, but everyone calls me... Nora. That's... the name that goes with MY face.
[laughs]
Nora : Hey, you should warm up.
Felicie : [to herself, confused] Warm up?
[shrugs and tries to literally 'warm up' by rubbing her hands on her arms]
Dora : [amused] Oh my. That is crazy. I'm guessing you're new, my darling?
Felicie : [awkwardly] You can tell that because...?
[Before Dora can answer, Mérante enters the room. The girls quickly gather to one side of the room]
Felicie : Who is that?
Dora : [rolls her eyes] You are joking, right? It's Louis Mérante, ballet master, world-famous choreographer, the man who performed the most fouettes ever in a single solo.
Felicie : Foo-what?
Dora : Turns. Really difficult turns.
Nora : 187 in total. And right after, he vomited!
Mérante : Silence, mademoiselle! First position, second...
[All of the girls except Felicie go through the basic ballet positions]
Felicie : [lost] What?
Mérante : Third, fourth, and rest in fifth.
