1. Mmm!

2. Are you busy, Will?

3. No, not really.

4. So, what's up?

5. Um, well, they're kind of having

6. cheerleader try-outs at school

7. and I sort of thought about going.

8. But, you know, that's kind of a stupid idea

9. so I sort of blew it off.

10. Oh, well.. Ha-ha.

11. Well, I think that being a cheerleader

12. is kind of a, you know

13. a sort of a... good idea.

14. - You think I have a chance? - Of course, you do.

15. Yo, back in Philly, the girls had this cheer, right

16. that, yo, really got the crowd hyped.

17. They used to be like this. They used to be like..

18. Run!

19. Philip, this skirt used to look better, didn't it?

20. This didn't used to be here.

21. - Does this look better? - Oh, yeah.

22. Now you look just like Yul Brynner in "The King And I."

23. - Philip. - Vivian..

24. You look great and you always will.

25. You are the best-looking 40-year-old woman

26. in this hemisphere.

27. Philip, I am not 40.

28. I Will not be 40 until 7:08 tonight.

29. 7:09 if you count my feet.

30. And one hour later you and your feet

31. are gonna be at the world's greatest birthday party.

32. Oh, Philip, you've gone to so much trouble.

33. I'm so sorry. I'm such a grouch.

34. Oh, baby, that's okay.

35. Nobody's thrilled about getting..

36. not young.

37. But look what you've accomplished.

38. You're a full professor

39. you've got three great kids

40. and a husband who's tall, dark and loaded.

41. How many people can say that at your..

42. zip code?

43. Man, Carlton, that's kind of a smooth tie you got there, man.

44. - Let me check that joint out. - Sure.

45. It's silk twill, hand sewn in Italy.

46. That spider's been getting on my nerves all day, man.

47. Check this out. I dotted the "I" on the Armani.

48. Will, I thought about it all weekend

49. and I decided to sign up for cheerleader try-outs.

50. Are you sure, Ashley?

51. You'll have to wear an indecently short skirt

52. make a spectacle of yourself in front of your whole school

53. and ride on a bus with a bunch of sweaty teenage boys.

54. Gosh. I hope I get it.

55. I'm sure you Will, Ash. Hey, let me see your moves.

56. Uh, well, okay.

57. I take it back, Ashley. That was incredible.

58. - Thanks, Carlton. - Alright.

59. Well, what do you think, Will?

60. That was, uh, kind of

61. dignified, Ash.

62. - Would you like some help? - Oh, thank you.

63. Oh, you're welcome.

64. Well, I spent the entire day shopping

65. for the perfect gift for us to give mother

66. but it was worth the sacrifice.

67. She is going to love it.

68. Ta-da!

69. Oh. No, wait. That's for me.

70. Oops. For me again.

71. Oh, here it is.

72. Hilary, what's wrong with you, girl?

73. I gave you two week's salary

74. and you got a pot holder?

75. Shh. I hear her coming.

76. - Happy birthday! - Happy birthday!

77. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

78. Here, Hilary, sweetie these are for you.

79. I don't think short skirts are appropriate for me anymore.

80. Mother, I've been meaning to talk to you

81. about how you look in diamonds.

82. There's Stacy Cooper, the dean's daughter.

83. You know, I heard her mother had some extensive plastic surgery.

84. Carlton, that is her mother.

85. What happened to the rest of her chins?

86. Oh, yo, they look good down there.

87. Thank God. I got to the mall right as it was closing.

88. They made a huge fuss just because I asked them to turn

89. the escalator back on.

90. Anyway, our present is going to be perfect.

91. It's a very conservative long wool skirt.

92. - Hi. - 'Hi, Vivian.'

93. - How are you? - 'Good to see you.'

94. Mom, isn't that your costume from Halloween?

95. You know, the year you came as Tina Turner?

96. It certainly is.

97. You're not going to sing "Proud Mary Again,"are you?

98. Well, I might. The night is young, baby and so am I.

99. My life is great. This party's gonna be great

100. and I look fantastic.

101. Yeah, mom, you do.

102. - I look stupid, don't I? - Oh, baby.

103. Oh, Philip, this has all been just perfect.

104. Oh, has? Oh, no. The night's not over yet.

105. - Surprise! - Surprise!

106. Ahem.

107. 'Remember 1951?'

108. Oh, yes.

109. 'Remember Chuck Berry?'

110. 'Remember hula hoops?'

111. Me, neither.

112. 'But that was the year that Vivian Smith was born.'

113. Oh..

114. 'Eat your heart out La Toya.'

115. 'In just a few short years'

116. 'little Vivian starred in her first dance recital'

117. over a quarter of a century ago.

118. 'The seasons came and went.'

119. 'The sixties.'

120. Oh, no.

121. The dark ages of fashion.

122. Yet Vivian braved the afro, the dashiki

123. and the platform shoe.

124. 'She went off to college with dreams of being a dancer.'

125. 'Time marched on.'

126. As the days turned into years

127. Vivian got a teaching degree

128. got married, and moved to California.

129. 'The years rolled by.'

130. 'Today Vivian Banks has matured'

131. 'into a successful college professor'

132. 'outstanding wife and mother'

133. and a tribute to middle age.

134. Hold it, y'all. Hold it, hold it.

135. Now, see, a lot of people make jokes about being 40

136. but we not livin' like that here

137. you know, 'cause 40 ain't old..

138. If you're a giant sequoia.

139. After all, life begins at 40.

140. Oops, did I say life? I meant gum disease.

141. No, really, really.

142. Forty is just the beginning.

143. The beginning of the end.

144. What we're trying to say here is..

145. What is going on?

146. The candles, sir.

147. The system really isn't equipped

148. for that kind of heat.

149. Two returns in two days. How humiliating.

150. The second time I had to pretend I was my own twin.

151. - Well, what did you get her? - This is mom proof.

152. Any professor would be proud to carry this

153. whether she's wearing a dress or a G-string.

154. Of course, with that second outfit

155. attendance would shoot up

156. among other things.

157. Where's your mom?

158. She hasn't come down since we got home from school.

159. She's probably gonna be moody and depressed.

160. So let's try to be understanding, okay?

161. Sure.

162. - Hello, everyone. - Hi, mommy.

163. Isn't it a beautiful day?

164. Good call, Uncle Phil.

165. Oh, Philip, I had the greatest day, thanks to you.

166. That party really helped me put things in perspective.

167. Last night, I realized that my career has gotten in the way

168. of the thing that's the most important to me.

169. Oh, that's wonderful, honey.

170. Well, I hope you know I'm behind you

171. whether you want to be a professor

172. or a loving wife who devotes her day

173. to supporting her hardworking husband

174. and keeping an immaculate home.

175. Oh, I'm glad, because I've made a decision.

176. You're going to vacuum in that?

177. No! I'm going to dance.

178. Well, I'm all set for dance class.

179. Has anybody seen my keys?

180. Where's my purse?

181. Where's my car?

182. Aunt Viv, maybe I should drive you.

183. I got to go down to Jazz's anyway.

184. Oh, I'd appreciate that, Will.

185. Mom, before you go, could you sign this

186. so I can go to cheerleader try-outs?

187. Oh, Ashley, I am so proud of you.

188. Oh, sweetie, I know you've wanted to do this

189. since you were a child, but just remember

190. no matter how nervous you get, don't give up.

191. No matter what the odds.

192. Even if you feel foolish leaving

193. an important position at your school

194. you have to hold your head up high

195. walk out that door, get in your car

196. and follow your dream.

197. Y'all remember that movie

198. "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest?"

199. The Israeli folk dancing class is down the hall.

200. Is this advanced jazz?

201. - Yes. - Then I'm in the right place.

202. So, anyway, last summer I was in "A Chorus Line"

203. and "Oklahoma."

204. Really? I was in "West Side Story"

205. "Gypsy," and "My Fair Lady."

206. 'Really?'

207. Actually, the last thing I was in was the supermarket.

208. I guess you could say, you know, I'm into

209. all types of artistic endeavors.

210. You know..

211. I like dance, the theater, opera.

212. I'm a pretty cultured brother.

213. Wow, just like that, huh?

214. Okay, we'll start in a minute. Up.

215. Alright, class. Let's begin.

216. Warm up. Space it out.

217. And five, six, seven, eight..

218. And contract, hup.

219. Five and six, head, seven, eight.

220. Hup..

221. Hup.

222. 'Fingers open.'

223. Spread 'em out. Head look.

224. Contract. Release. Hup.

225. 'And turn it around. Extend and pose.'

226. Hup. Repeat. Five and six and seven, eight.

227. Hup.

228. 'Arms up. Contract.'

229. 'Hup.'

230. Arms up..

231. So, mom, how was dance class?

232. It was like heaven

233. except, except the angels was doing splits.

234. It was hell on Earth.

235. So, how was dance class?

236. Great!

237. - Ow. - Mm-hmm.

238. You know, Vivian, maybe you jumped into this too fast.

239. You might just need to relax

240. and I have just the thing.

241. Two first-class tickets to Hawaii.

242. - Ooh! - Ooh!

243. - Philip, how could you? - Huh?

244. I just thought you might want to take it easy.

245. Easy? Easy?

246. Philip, I took it easy 20 years ago

247. when I got that teaching degree.

248. I don't want to take the comfortable road anymore.

249. And you shouldn't have to. Hand over the keys to your Benz.

250. No one is gonna stop me from being a dancer.

251. Now, there's an audition in three weeks

252. and I am gonna take every class I can.

253. I'm gonna show the world that Vivian Banks can dance!

254. Well, this is it.

255. The audition.

256. I guess I better get going, huh?

257. I guess I'm a little nervous, but that's silly.

258. Why should I be nervous?

259. I just have to do a few dance steps

260. in front of a professional choreographer

261. and a roomful of 20 year olds

262. who've been dancing their whole lives.

263. I'm gonna go to bed and eat a cheesecake.

264. No. No, no.

265. Vivian, you're gonna go to that audition

266. and you're gonna give it everything you've got.

267. Thank you, Philip.

268. Yeah, go get 'em, Aunt Viv.

269. You know, Uncle Phil, most husbands wouldn't

270. want their wives running off half-naked

271. to a bunch of bulging, masculine dancers

272. that's gonna be grabbing 'em and lifting 'em

273. in places their husbands forgot existed.

274. I guess that's what trust in a marriage is all about.

275. Thank you, Will.

276. 'Vivian!'

277. Excuse me. There's an audition here today.

278. I know.

279. Auditions usually

280. require dance training.

281. You haven't been to any classes.

282. Unless you count Lamaze.

283. Actually I've been taking private instruction

284. with Natalia Barashkova.

285. The dancer?

286. No. The obstetrician.

287. Okay, people.

288. We're looking for three of our leading roles.

289. So, let's get started.

290. We have to learn this combination.

291. Okay, five, six..

292. Five, six, seven, eight.

293. Uh, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

294. 'Down, up and rock and rock.'

295. And one, two, three, four

296. and five, six, seven, eight.

297. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

298. One, two.. Head, head, head. Over up.

299. Hop, hop. And walk, and walk.

300. And walk, and step, step.

301. Double turn, down, cross, swing around

302. up, change.

303. Okay..

304. Let me have my first four..

305. Uh..

306. Let's have you

307. you..

308. 'Uh, you, and you.'

309. 'Come on down.'

310. Everybody else.

311. Alright? Ready? Here you go.

312. Five, six..

313. Five, six, seven, eight. Uh, one.

314. 'Alright.'

315. 'Alright. Very good.'

316. 'Okay. Uh..'

317. 'Next four..'

318. 'Are you ready?'

319. 'Five, six, seven, eight.'

320. Oh.

321. So, uh..

322. You're home.

323. So, uh..

324. Is there anything, uh..

325. you know, new?

326. Audition go okay?

327. Oh, it was better than okay. It was great.

328. They offered me one of the lead roles!

329. Hey, that's great, Aunt Viv. Hold on, when's the cast party?

330. I want to sit next to that honey that was doing the splits.

331. Hold it. Hold it, guys. I am not gonna do the show.

332. - I turned down the part. - Alright!

333. I mean, if that's okay with you.

334. Philip, for the last 20 years

335. I have wondered if I could have made it as a dancer.

336. And now I know I could have..

337. twenty years ago.

338. Whoo, these have been the hardest three weeks of my life.

339. There isn't a part of my body that isn't aching for ben-gay.

340. But I miss books.

341. I miss my kids.

342. And do you know what I miss the most?

343. What, honey?

344. Haagen-dazs vanilla Swiss almond.

345. I wish I could have seen those kids' expressions.

346. Sounds like you left them dancing in your dust.

347. Philip, do you think I'm old?

348. Of course not.

349. Do you think I'm pretty?

350. Woman, look in that mirror and tell me what you see.

351. I don't know.

352. Well, let me tell you.

353. I see every great thing

354. a man could possibly want in a woman.

355. Eyes so dark and deep

356. a man could get lost in them.

357. Skin the color of mahogany..

358. As soft as satin.

359. A body fit for a Goddess.

360. Look how beautiful you are.

361. Look.

362. Look how beautiful you are.

363. Why do you think I make it home by 6 o'clock every night?

364. I thought it was for those little cheese things

365. Geoffrey makes.

366. Well, it's not.

367. Ah, ah.

368. You too tired for one more dance?

369. Oh, baby, not with you.

370. Oh, oh, Philip!

371. Maybe I should sit this one out.

372. An even better idea.

373. Hey, hey, hey. Say hello to miss pom-pom. Aah!

374. - Ashley, you made cheerleader! - Yes!

375. Will's cheer did it.

376. Go on. Show 'em your moves. Show 'em your moves.

377. Okay, Will, but you'll have to fill in

378. for little Bobby Greenspan.

379. Okay, that'll be swell.

380. Come on.

381. One, two, three, four.

382. You look great, and you always will.

383. You are the greatest 40-year, uh..

384. Any professor would be proud to carry this

385. whether she's wearing a dress or a G-string.

386. Of course, that second outfit

387. you know, would do something.

388. I do know my line.

389. 'You know, it just slipped my memory for a second.'

390. 'But I know it.'

391. 'I know what it is! I know what it is!'
