DUMPSTERS

Godot: "What are you doing?"
Boo: "Jumping in the garbage."
Godot: "Like you're a trash-compactor as your job?"
Boo: "No, that's not a thing."
Godot: "I can barely read, so."

He gives her his shirt so she will smell lovely, like him, instead of like her, who smells like Hoarders. The way he looks -- and speaks -- it's like every member of Jackass got drunk one night and they finally just went for it. Made a baby.

STUDIO

Fanny: "Parents, dancers, students, clients, customers! I just want you to know that everything is free and you can just have anything you want and never pay for it. Even though Chumbawumba broke up, it was not in vain."
Michelle: "Wrong! It is the opposite of that! From now on, if you don't give me money I will hurt your children."

Things continue in this vein. Even if you've ever wondered what it would be like to be truly annoyed by the wonderful Sutton Foster, this scene might answer some questions.

AFTER

Sure, in the aftermath of Michelle's bullshit -- which involved grabbing women's purses and threatening, as I said, their children -- the parents have gotten restraining orders against her. Sure, that could happen. Anyway, Fanny is not impressed by the fact that Michelle has ruined her business which is already ruined, and Michelle is very apologetic, and the Wu Twins are half off, and Michelle is still not interested in teaching dance. No teaching!

Fanny: "I've seen you with those kids, Michelle. You're a good choreographer, you teach them well, and they like you. They connect with you."
Michelle: "I don't want them getting attached. I don't teach, you teach."

It gets to a real emotional place -- I mean, this is not a bad show as much as a fetal episode that never grew into a real one -- but even in this situation it's still the actors doing the heavy lifting. The obvious solution, which the show could have been about starting with the second episode, is now right up in their faces: Michelle wants to squat in the yard and not teach, which is dumb, and somehow Fanny knowing that makes up for the fact that Fanny was being just this stupid and obstinate for the first half.
