Jonathan Reeves : [waves to sit down]
Jody Sawyer : Wait. All my life I've wanted to be one of ABA's perfect ballerinas. I wanted to be you, Juliette. But I'm not you, and I'm not perfect,I'm just me, bad feet and all, and I'm starting to think that I like that just as much.
Jonathan Reeves : [begins to speak]
Jody Sawyer : No, because if you're not going to offer me a place in the company I don't want to hear it. And if you are, I might not have the strength to say no, and then I would be spending my best dancing years in the back of a corps waving a rose back and forth, and I'm better than that. So thank you, Jonathan, for turning me into the best dancer I can be, I appreciate it more than I can say, really. Because the best dancer I can be is a principal in Cooper Neilson's new company.
Jody Sawyer : [walks off]

Cooper : If you're still holding onto all that personal shit.
Jonathan Reeves : I don't have to hold onto anything. I got the girl.

Jody Sawyer : Margot Fonteyn didn't have great feet.
Jonathan Reeves : Well when Margot Fonteyn was on stage, you couldn't tear your eyes away from her. Pft. It can't be taught.

Jonathan Reeves : [to the casual bubblegum-chewing late-comer] And you are?
Eva : Eva Rodriguez.
Jonathan Reeves : So glad you could fit us into your busy schedule, Eva.
Eva : [with a big smile] Oh, no sweat.
