♪ What is this dream I see?
♪ Why does it seem so real
♪ To me?
♪ What if this dream turns out to be
♪ More than a dream?
Fairy dust, fairy dust, fairy dust.
♪ Come, little dream and play
♪ Don't be afraid
♪ Don't fade away
♪ Quick, little dream
♪ Before you're gone
♪ Let's get it on
♪ You... Oh!
I saw that.
Well, this is impossible.
Either I'm an artist
or I'm just some cheap drag queen
trying to get laughs.
Let's just get through it.
I have to understand
every nuance of a song.
I have to give my all. Everyone else can
just "get through it." He's chewing gum.
Chewing gum helps me think.
Sweetie, you're wasting your gum.
Let's keep going.
And no more talking... from anyone.
- I need to talk to you.
- Sit.
- It's important.
- Quiet. He's rehearsing.
♪ And I the dreamer
♪ Each night anew
♪ Tell me, my dream
♪ Are you a dreamer, too?
What is it?
- Can you come upstairs with me?
- No. Not right now.
Did you see what he just did?
Hello, Vallie, darling.
- What did he do?
- He blew a bubble.
He can't do that while I'm singing!
Celsius, look, this may
be a drag show,
but it still has be a good drag show.
If possible, a great one.
Just because you're
22 and hung...
I'll do this, Albert.
- You're the director.
- Thank you.
This is a complex number,
full of mythic themes.
The woman who is singing
invented you.
You are her fantasy. Suddenly,
you, the fantasy, see her, your
inventor, and she becomes your fantasy.
- I don't get it.
- Try more gum.
- Albert.
- I hear you.
Thank you. I know you do.
Celsius, let's
start with the premise
that when you see this stunning,
smoldering creature,
she transcends your desire to chew.
She electrifies you!
Something starts in your pelvis
and goes to your heart,
where it becomes heart/pelvis.
- Pop?
- Yes? Coming!
What do I do?
Stand here like an object?
No. You do an eclectic
celebration of the dance!
You do Fosse, Fosse, Fosse! Or Martha
Graham, Martha Graham, Martha Graham!
Or Twyla, Twyla, Twyla! Or Michael
Kidd, Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd!
Or Madonna, Madonna, Madonna!
But you keep it all inside.
Work on that. I'll be right back.
It's looking wonderful.
Barbara's coming with her parents.
- When?
- Tomorrow.
That's plenty of time.
There's more. There's a lot more.
