Ginger tries to convince Jeff to enter the dance contest (from "Man, This Joint Is Jumping!") (Ginger has just found out that a Cleveland radio station will be sponsoring a dance contest, and the winners will win a screen test in Hollywood) Ginger: Hollywood! First place is a screen test in Hollywood! Oh Jeff, I can't even hardly believe it! Jeff (setting up the chairs at the Roadhouse): I can't dance. Ginger (smiling): I can teach you! Jeff: I don't want you to teach me. Ginger: I distinctly remember you saying you wanted me to teach you... Jeff: Yes! For fun! In private--not in front of people so I can make a fool out of myself in a public dance contest! Ginger: Jeff Metcalf, you know my life-long dream is to get to Hollywood, now how can you deny me the possibility of my life-long dream? Jeff: This contest can not be on the up and up. Ginger: Oh, and why not? Jeff: Why would a talent scout look for a movie star in River Run, Ohio? Ginger (annoyed): Oh and who's to say what city produces a movie star? Where's Ginger Rodgers from? Or Judy Garland? Or... Irene Dunne? Jeff: I don't know. Ginger: Well I don't know either, but they have to be born somewhere! Jeff (thinks for a moment): Everybody is born somewhere... That's for certain. (goes behind the bar; Ginger follows him) But not everyone becomes a movie star! Ginger (in a small voice): You don't think I can be a movie star? Jeff (quickly tries to explain what he meant): I didn't say that! I only said I didn't want to make a fool out of myself! Ginger: Well I don't know why you're so worried about making a fool out of yourself! You're perfectly willing to get up in front of hundreds of people and hit a little ball with a wooden stick and it doesn't seem to bother you one iota when you miss the ball half the time--and you do miss the ball half the time! Jeff (leans over the bar): Missing half the time is good! Ginger: And you needed me to pitch for you so you could make it to big leagues, I'd pitch for you! (Jeff can't say anything--he knows how much it means to her, and knows she's right--she's got him, hook, line, and sinker) Home| Kyle| Tammy| History| Transcripts|Quotes|Milestones|Episodes| Pictures| Fanfic| Links| Email List
