00:00:04Music. My only savior. My only voice. With my fingers on the black and ivory keys. It's the only time
00:00:14I'm truly free. When my parents died, they left me with nothing but this piano. And my bastard brother.
00:00:26Where's your cash, bitch? I got the loan sharks after me and if you don't pay them back, I'm just
00:00:32gonna ship you off to their strip club myself.
00:00:35Maybe you should grow a pair and clean up your own mess, big brother.
00:00:39Maybe you should watch your mouth or your fingers are gonna pay a price.
00:00:46It is your fault that we are in the hole. Dad sent the family business to pay for your fancy
00:00:54music school.
00:00:56Hey, do you think that they'll refund me if I break your fingers? In your dreams.
00:01:04Oh, you're asking for it now. No, not my music sheets. No. Dad, I'll get every penny into your life
00:01:11insurance.
00:01:12You're worth more to be dead than a lot.
00:01:15Fall right on cue. Take your precious music shit and die with it!
00:01:32A man like him doesn't belong in a neighborhood like this.
00:01:36Hey! You almost killed my baby sister, you motherfucker! Lookit, she's bleeding!
00:01:42I wasn't the one that shoved her into the middle of the road, so you might as well drop the
00:01:45act.
00:01:47All right then.
00:01:48You are not! Give me your fucking keys and your wallet, or you're dead!
00:01:52Come and get it.
00:01:57Fuck it up!
00:01:58Don't touch your sister again, you abusive piece of shit!
00:02:00What?
00:02:10Keep it. It's cold in the rain.
00:02:16A stranger... saved me?
00:02:22Who is he?
00:02:29Emmerich? What was all that noise?
00:02:32Detour. Almost at school.
00:02:35Good. Don't want our new piano professor late on his first day.
00:02:39This professor position at Le Moyne is my last chance. No distractions, Emmerich.
00:02:45Not at all.
00:02:50It's second semester of my freshman year at Le Moyne Conservatory. The most prestigious music college in the country.
00:02:56And I'm the only student here without a trust fund.
00:03:07Oops!
00:03:09Watch it! Trailer Tramp!
00:03:11Hey Ivory, is your body count really higher than the number of keys on a piano?
00:03:17I don't know if the guys here are so into charity.
00:03:23It's true. The boys pay me to do their homework, then they do me.
00:03:28Their money keeps me in school instead of sleeping on the streets.
00:03:32We're getting pawned off as a plaything for loan sharks.
00:03:36But I won't give up until I get the Leopold Fellowship.
00:03:39It's what my dad always wanted.
00:03:42And it's my only way out of this hell.
00:03:44Have you heard?
00:03:45The new piano professor is recommending the next Leopold Fellow.
00:03:50Whoever gets picked is basically guaranteed the spot.
00:03:55And he is so hot.
00:03:59The fellowship should be all I'm thinking about.
00:04:03Keep it.
00:04:06Stop obsessing over some hot stranger, Ivory.
00:04:09You have a new professor to impress and a fellowship to win.
00:04:13Coming to class on another man's Maison Margiela jacket?
00:04:16What are you trying to make me jealous?
00:04:18A hot dog in a girl's mouth would make you jealous, Prescott.
00:04:22You played rough with this guy, huh?
00:04:25Be a good girl, Ivory.
00:04:27Pick the jacket off and give it to me.
00:04:29You know, Prescott, only sad jerks like you need to beg girls to take their clothes off for you.
00:04:39What do we have here?
00:04:40In the back, Prescott.
00:04:41You want your dead daddy's photo back?
00:04:43Then give me the jacket, now.
00:04:45You shouldn't have run in your mouth, then.
00:04:47Bullshit.
00:04:53No!
00:04:57I'll give you a chance to kiss me and make this better.
00:05:00And make it good.
00:05:01You know I like it when you use your tongue, school slut.
00:05:03School Slate!
00:05:05School Slate!
00:05:06School Slate!
00:05:07School Slate!
00:05:10School Sl...

00:17:35Yeah, come on, Ivory.
00:17:37Those rags are basically school property, okay?
00:17:42Stop testing my patience, Ivory.
00:17:44I'm not paying until I get my dick wet.
00:17:48He's a professor, isn't he?
00:17:50I saw the way you look at him.
00:17:51You're just begging him to shove that baton all the way up here.
00:17:54Maybe I'm just done being your personal rag doll.
00:17:58Oh!
00:18:00Acting out in class, huh?
00:18:02You're practically begging for all of us.
00:18:05No!
00:18:06Let me go!
00:18:07Stop!
00:18:08Help!
00:18:09Aww.
00:18:10That's where the brass players empty their spit.
00:18:12Four-backs caught.
00:18:15Oh, she'll be fine.
00:18:16We all know she's so great at swallowing.
00:18:20Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop.
00:18:28Tom, Tom, Tom.
00:18:37Take your hands off her!
00:18:42It seems like some of us still need a reminder of classroom etiquette.
00:18:48Master River, if we keep meeting like this,
00:18:52I'll break your fingers until the only piano in your life
00:18:54will be how women describe your sorry dick.
00:18:57If I see one video of Miss Westbrook online,
00:19:00I'll come after both of you.
00:19:04Come with me, Miss Westbrook.
00:19:06Our lesson isn't over yet.
00:19:16Here's the textbook you need.
00:19:18You need something.
00:19:19Don't go to Prescott anymore.
00:19:22No charity case, Professor.
00:19:24This isn't out of the goodness of my heart.
00:19:27This is an investment in you and your talent.
00:19:38After what just happened, you just want me to play?
00:19:42Rule number two.
00:19:43Don't question my methods.
00:19:51My fingers are shaking.
00:19:54My heart is racing.
00:19:57All because of him.
00:19:58Your pulse is racing.
00:20:01Good.
00:20:03You need to learn to play under pressure.
00:20:06To take control.
00:20:11You can do it.
00:20:19Teach me.
00:20:22Professor.
00:20:27Please.
00:20:30Teach me.
00:20:37Professor.
00:20:39Music.
00:20:41Music.
00:20:42My only savior.
00:20:43My only voice.
00:20:45With my fingers on the black and ivory keys.
00:20:48It's the only time I'm truly free.
00:20:52When my parents died, they left me with nothing but this piano.
00:20:57And my bastard brother.
00:21:02Where's your cash, bitch?
00:21:04I got the loan sharks after me.
00:21:05And if you don't pay them back, then I'm just going to ship you off to their strip club myself.
00:21:11Maybe you should grow a pair and clean up your own mess, big brother.
00:21:14Maybe you should watch your mouth.
00:21:17Or your fingers are going to pay a price.
00:21:21It is your fault that we are in the hole.
00:21:25Dad's in the family business to pay for your fancy music school.
00:21:32Hey, do you think that they'll refund me if I break your fingers?
00:21:35In your dreams.
00:21:40Oh, you're asking for it now.
00:21:42No, not my music sheets.
00:21:43No.
00:21:44Dad, suck every penny into your life insurance.
00:21:48You're worth more to be dead than a lot.
00:21:51Fall right on you.
00:21:53Seek you precious music shit and die with it.
00:22:08A man like him doesn't belong in a neighborhood like this.
00:22:11Hey!
00:22:12You almost killed my baby sister, you motherfucker!
00:22:16Look, she's bleeding!
00:22:17I wasn't the one that shoved her into the middle of the road, so you might as well drop the
00:22:21act.
00:22:22All right then.
00:22:23You are not!
00:22:24Give me your fucking keys and your wallet!
00:22:26Or you're dead!
00:22:28Come and get it!
00:22:33Don't touch your sister again, you abusive piece of shit!
00:22:45Keep it.
00:22:47Keep it.
00:22:47It's cold in the rain.
00:22:51A stranger... saved me?
00:22:57Who is he?
00:23:05Emmerich, what was all that noise?
00:23:07Detour.
00:23:08Almost after school.
00:23:10Good.
00:23:11Don't want our new piano professor late on his first day.
00:23:15This professor position at Le Moyne is my last chance.
00:23:18No distractions, Emmerich.
00:23:21Not at all.
00:23:25It's second semester of my freshman year at Le Moyne Conservatory.
00:23:29The most prestigious music college in the country.
00:23:32And I'm the only student here without a trust fund.
00:23:43Oops!
00:23:44Watch it!
00:23:45Trailer tramp?
00:23:47Hey Ivory, is your body count really higher than the number of keys on a piano?
00:23:53I didn't know the guys here are so into charity.
00:23:59It's true.
00:24:00The boys pay me to do their homework.
00:24:02Then they do me.
00:24:04Their money keeps me in school instead of sleeping on the streets.
00:24:07Or getting pawned off as a plaything for loan sharks.
00:24:12But I won't give up until I get the Leopold Fellowship.
00:24:15It's what my dad always wanted.
00:24:18And it's my only way out of this hell.
00:24:20Have you heard?
00:24:21The new piano professor is recommending the next Leopold Fellow.
00:24:26Whoever gets picked is basically guaranteed the spot.
00:24:31And he is so hot.
00:24:34He is.
00:24:35The fellowship should be all I'm thinking about.
00:24:37And yeah.
00:24:39Keep it.
00:24:41Stop obsessing over some hot stranger Ivory.
00:24:45You have a new professor to impress and a fellowship to win.
00:24:48Coming to class on another man's Maison Margiela jacket?
00:24:51What are you trying to make me jealous?
00:24:53A hot dog in a girl's mouth would make you jealous Prescott.
00:24:57You played rough with this guy huh?
00:25:01Be a good girl Ivory.
00:25:02Pick the jacket off and give it to me.
00:25:04You know Prescott?
00:25:06Only sad jerks like you need to beg girls to take their clothes off for you.
00:25:14What do we have here?
00:25:15Give it back Prescott.
00:25:16You want your dead daddy's photo back?
00:25:18Then give me the jacket.
00:25:20Now.
00:25:21You shouldn't have run in your mouth then.
00:25:28No!
00:25:29No!
00:25:32I'll give you a chance to kiss me and make this better.
00:25:35And make it good.
00:25:37You know I like it when you use your tongue school slut.
00:25:39School slut!
00:25:41School slut!
00:25:42School slut!
00:25:43School slut!
00:25:45School slut!
00:25:46School slut!
00:25:47School slut!
00:25:48School slut!
00:25:49School slut!
00:25:52Back away.
00:25:54Not asking twice.
00:26:00She's my student?
00:26:05It can't be.
00:26:07He's my new professor?
00:26:10He's my new professor?
00:26:12Go to the nurse.
00:26:13Get cleaned up.
00:26:18With all due respect, as long as I'm paying tuition I won't let a scratch short change my education.
00:26:25First lesson in my class.
00:26:27Do not put your hands on a fellow student.
00:26:30Or what?
00:26:32You're gonna report me to the dean?
00:26:33That's my mom, dumbass.
00:26:37Oh, I'll report you to her.
00:26:39After I tell the police you were assaulting a fellow classmate.
00:26:43You think you'll look cute in cuffs.
00:26:48That's what I thought.
00:26:49Find your seat, Mr. Rivett.
00:26:55For those of you who are ready to learn, I'm your theory professor, Emmerich Marceau.
00:27:00I'll also be mentoring some of you piano majors.
00:27:04Yes, I'll be recommending the Leopold Fellow.
00:27:07And yes, I only choose the best.
00:27:11He could be my mentor.
00:27:13He could recommend the fellowship.
00:27:15But that means private lessons every week alone with him.
00:27:21Each of you will be auditioning for me in my office.
00:27:25The rest of you can turn to chapter two in your textbooks.
00:27:33Do we have a problem?
00:27:36Miss...
00:27:37Westbrook?
00:27:39Ivory Westbrook?
00:27:40I'll have my book by Friday.
00:27:42Once I make enough money.
00:27:47Do you know the difference between musicians playing in Carnegie Hall and those begging on the street?
00:27:53He saved my life earlier.
00:27:56And now he's chewing me out like this?
00:27:58I should be furious, but...
00:28:00But why does my heart pound so hard when he's close?
00:28:03Discipline.
00:28:07Find your discipline.
00:28:09Or I won't waste my time with you.
00:28:12Understood.
00:28:16Don't worry.
00:28:18I'll drill her after school.
00:28:19I'll drill her real hard.
00:28:23One more word.
00:28:24And you're flunking this class.
00:28:27Bye-bye Bahamas.
00:28:28Say hello to summer school.
00:28:31Your first step, Miss Westbrook.
00:28:33My office.
00:28:34Now.
00:28:35You don't have to do that.
00:28:37I told you I would get the book so you didn't have to call me out like that in front
00:28:40of the whole class.
00:28:41I don't know if you noticed, but I just stopped them from taunting you.
00:28:44Thanks, Professor, but I don't want your pity.
00:28:46You should just take this back.
00:28:48Not after all your classmates have already seen you in it.
00:28:53Keep it.
00:28:54Now tell me.
00:28:56Why do your brother and classmates seem to take so much pleasure in making you suffer?
00:29:01I'm okay, Professor, but...
00:29:04Did your brother do this or was that prick Prescott?
00:29:08Just because you played hero doesn't mean you know shit about my life.
00:29:13Okay, I've been taking care of myself way before you showed up this morning, so really, Professor?
00:29:18I'm fine.
00:29:21That's it.
00:29:23Lift your shirt.
00:29:27What the hell?
00:29:29You're my professor.
00:29:30And I'm required to report any suspected child abuse to Protective Services.
00:29:34I am 19.
00:29:35I'm not a child.
00:29:37I witnessed this morning.
00:29:38You're gonna have to prove to me that you don't have any other bruises or I'm gonna be forced to
00:29:42make a call.
00:29:45I'll be forced to scream if you come any closer, Professor.
00:30:03That's enough.
00:30:05I won't touch you, Miss Westbrook.
00:30:08He could have taken advantage of me, but he didn't.
00:30:12There's no hunger in his eyes. Just worry.
00:30:15Maybe he's not like the others.
00:30:17No.
00:30:18Why don't you show me what you got, Miss Westbrook?
00:30:24My dream.
00:30:25My dad's dream.
00:30:27All comes down to this.
00:30:29Deep breath.
00:30:31God.
00:30:32Why won't my fingers move?
00:30:37I can help you, Miss Westbrook.
00:30:40You only have to trust me.
00:30:44I trust you, Professor.
00:30:47Good.
00:30:48Now look ahead.
00:30:54I want you to forget everything.
00:31:01Now, wait for me, Miss Westbrook.
00:31:06His voice.
00:31:07His commands.
00:31:09Why is this warmth washing through my face?
00:31:19Her plane isn't perfect, but it's raw, wild, powerful.
00:31:29I've never heard anything like it.
00:31:33That's enough.
00:31:37God, did I screw up that bad?
00:31:40Now you may have noticed that I have some unconventional methods.
00:31:43Which means I need a student who is 100% committed to following my rules.
00:31:48Can you handle that?
00:31:49I know it's crazy, but...
00:31:52I trust him.
00:31:53I've never played like that.
00:31:55He can help me become a better musician.
00:31:57I can.
00:31:58Professor.
00:31:59I'm committed.
00:32:00In that case, there's only one thing left to do.
00:32:03Did you hear that?
00:32:04For like 30 seconds, and he already cut her off?
00:32:07She should have played trumpet if all she can do is blow.
00:32:15You're all dismissed.
00:32:16Go find another instructor.
00:32:21What the fuck just happened?
00:32:23Oh.
00:32:27Something's off between Ivory and that new professor.
00:32:32Considering we'll be in this very room for four hours every day.
00:32:36I have some ground rules to lay.
00:32:42First rule.
00:32:44No lies.
00:32:45So tell me.
00:32:47Where were you gonna get the money for your textbooks?
00:32:49It's none of your business.
00:32:50Second.
00:32:53Do not question my methods.
00:32:57Third.
00:32:58Never look away.
00:33:00Eyes on me.
00:33:02Always.
00:33:04Not once if you understand.
00:33:09Good girl.
00:33:11What are you doing, Luis?
00:33:13I pulled you five, Miss Westbrook.
00:33:164.0 GPA.
00:33:18The only scholarship student.
00:33:20My school was the same.
00:33:22But thanks to his mentor, the scholarship kid, got the Leopold Fellowship and wound up playing in the Lincoln Center.
00:33:28You know what he's doing today.
00:33:30What?
00:33:32He's talking to you.
00:33:34I'll give you my address and door pin.
00:33:37If you don't have anywhere else to go.
00:33:39You come to me.
00:33:41Look at me.
00:33:43I'm on your side, Miss Westbrook.
00:33:45Professor Marceau?
00:33:49Oh.
00:33:54Oh, I didn't know you were with a student, Professor Marceau.
00:33:57Just routine audition, Dean Riven.
00:34:00You're dismissed, Miss Westbrook.
00:34:14Now play for me, Miss Westbrook.
00:34:18Stop it.
00:34:19He's your professor.
00:34:21Quit fantasizing about him and walk away.
00:34:27I'll cut to the chase, Emmerich.
00:34:29I don't care who you mentor.
00:34:31But you're giving my son, Prescott, the Leopold Fellowship.
00:34:35You're going to appoint me to the dean?
00:34:37That's my mom, dumbass.
00:34:39What?
00:34:40Is this why you hired me?
00:34:42It's not that hard.
00:34:44Every year, the judges pick whoever the head piano instructor picks.
00:34:48The only other candidate is Ivory Westbrook.
00:34:53And she has a reputation of being very close with the boys here.
00:35:00That got your attention.
00:35:02Don't tell me you're giving Miss Westbrook special attention.
00:35:06She's my student.
00:35:08Exactly.
00:35:08So tell Ivory to back off.
00:35:11Or I'll ruin her.
00:35:13And she'll have no future left.
00:35:15Don't forget.
00:35:16I gave you a fresh start here, Emmerich.
00:35:31Oh, Professor.
00:35:33So, about Leopold-
00:35:34Miss Westbrook.
00:35:36Maybe the fellowship isn't the best option for you.
00:35:39Wait.
00:35:41You just promised to help me.
00:35:42And now you're already going back on your word?
00:35:46You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
00:35:49Wait.
00:35:50She knows about my deal with the dean.
00:35:54Admit it.
00:35:54You never thought I was good enough for Leopold.
00:35:56I'm just saying there are plenty of other opportunities for you to consider.
00:36:00But why should I?
00:36:02Why should I give up?
00:36:04To stay safe from people like Beverly and Prescott Riverd.
00:36:07Tell Ivory to back off.
00:36:09Or I'll ruin her.
00:36:10So you'll use your experimental methods on me.
00:36:13But when you crush my dreams, you won't even say why.
00:36:25You wanna know why?
00:36:26Because of childish behavior like this.
00:36:29You're not ready.
00:36:31End of discussion.
00:36:42I'm not in the mood, Prescott.
00:36:44I've been patient enough, Ivory.
00:36:45You can't keep a customer waiting forever.
00:36:55I thought I heard her voice.
00:36:57Where did she go?
00:37:06Oh my God.
00:37:08Fucking touch me, Prescott.
00:37:09You know I don't need to touch you to make you my bitch.
00:37:17500.
00:37:18If you lose your shirt.
00:37:20Oh, come on Ivory.
00:37:22I know your price.
00:37:23You want money for rent?
00:37:25Books?
00:37:26Then strip.
00:37:29Now I guess I'll just sell you to the strip club myself.
00:37:33I need that money.
00:37:34Or this is what the rest of my life will look like.
00:37:51Now.
00:37:53Underwear.
00:37:55Oh my God.
00:38:00I'm on your side.
00:38:01It's Westbrook.
00:38:02He's just my professor.
00:38:04But why am I praying that he'll come for me?
00:38:08Stop being such a prude school slut.
00:38:11Yeah, come on Ivory.
00:38:13Those racks are basically school property, okay?
00:38:17Stop testing my patience, Ivory.
00:38:19I'm not paying until I get my dick wet.
00:38:24He's a professor, isn't he?
00:38:26I saw the way you look at him.
00:38:27You're just begging him to shove that baton all the way up here.
00:38:29Maybe.
00:38:30I'm just done being your personal rag doll.
00:38:32Stop!
00:38:36Acting out in class, huh?
00:38:38You're practically begging for us.
00:38:40No.
00:38:42Let me go.
00:38:43Stop.
00:38:43Help.
00:38:45That's where the brass players and teeth are spit.
00:38:48Thanks, Scott.
00:38:50Oh, she'll be fine.
00:38:52We all know she's so great at swallowing.
00:38:56Chalk!
00:38:57Chalk!
00:38:57Chalk!
00:38:58Chalk!
00:38:59Chalk!
00:39:00Chalk!
00:39:01Chalk!
00:39:02Chalk!
00:39:02Chalk!
00:39:03Chalk!
00:39:04Chalk!
00:39:05All right.
00:39:12Take your hands off her!
00:39:17It seems like some of us still need a reminder of classroom etiquette.
00:39:24Just a river.
00:39:25If we keep meeting like this, I'll break your fingers until the only piano in your life will be how
00:39:30women describe your sorry dick.
00:39:32If I see one video of Miss Westbrook online, I'll come after both of you.
00:39:39Come with me, Miss Westbrook.
00:39:41Our lesson isn't over yet.
00:39:52Here's the textbook you need.
00:39:54You need something.
00:39:55Don't go to Prescott anymore.
00:39:57No charity case, Professor.
00:39:59This isn't out of the goodness of my heart.
00:40:02This is an investment.
00:40:04In you.
00:40:05And your talent.
00:40:13After what just happened, you just want me to play?
00:40:18Rule number two.
00:40:19Don't question my methods.
00:40:27My fingers are shaking.
00:40:29My heart is racing.
00:40:33All because of him.
00:40:34Your pulse is racing.
00:40:37Good.
00:40:39You need to learn to play under pressure.
00:40:42To take control.
00:40:47You can do it.
00:40:56Teach me, Professor.
00:41:03Please.
00:41:15Music.
00:41:16My only savior.
00:41:19My only voice.
00:41:21With my fingers on the black and ivory keys.
00:41:24It's the only time.
00:41:26I'm truly free.
00:41:28When my parents died, they left me with nothing but this piano.
00:41:33And my bastard brother.
00:41:37Where's your cash, bitch?
00:41:39I got the loan sharks after me.
00:41:41And if you don't pay them back, then I'm just going to ship you off to their strip club myself.
00:41:46Maybe you should grow a pair and clean up your own mess, big brother.
00:41:50Maybe you should watch your mouth, or your fingers are going to pay a price.
00:41:57It is your fault that we are in the hole.
00:42:01Dad sang the failing business to pay for your fancy music school.
00:42:07Hey, do you think that they'll refund me if I break your fingers?
00:42:11In your dreams.
00:42:16Oh, you're asking for it now.
00:42:18Not my music sheets.
00:42:19No.
00:42:19Dad sunk every penny into your life insurance.
00:42:23You're worth more to be dead than a lot.
00:42:26Fall right on to the precious music shit and die with it.
00:42:43A man like him doesn't belong in a neighborhood like this.
00:42:46Hey!
00:42:47You almost killed my baby sister, you motherfucker!
00:42:51Look, she's bleeding!
00:42:53I wasn't the one that shoved her into the middle of the road, so you might as well drop the
00:42:56act.
00:42:58All right, then.
00:42:59You are not.
00:43:00Give me your fucking keys and your wallet, or you're dead.
00:43:03Come and get it.
00:43:08Fuck it up!
00:43:09Don't touch your sister again, you abusive piece of shit.
00:43:21Keep it.
00:43:23It's cold in the rain.
00:43:27A stranger...
00:43:29Saved me?
00:43:33Who is he?
00:43:41Emmerich, what was all that noise?
00:43:43Detour.
00:43:44Almost at school.
00:43:46Good.
00:43:47Don't want our new piano professor late on his first day.
00:43:50This professor position at Le Moyne is my last chance.
00:43:54No distractions, Emmerich.
00:43:56Not at all.
00:44:01It's second semester of my freshman year at Le Moyne Conservatory.
00:44:04The most prestigious music college in the country.
00:44:07And I'm the only student here without a trust fund.
00:44:18Oops!
00:44:20Watch it!
00:44:21Trailer Tramp!
00:44:23Hey Ivory, is your body count really higher than the number of keys on a piano?
00:44:28I didn't know the guys here are so into charity.
00:44:34It's true.
00:44:36The boys pay me to do their homework, then they do me.
00:44:39Their money keeps me in school instead of sleeping on the streets.
00:44:43We're getting pawned off as a plaything for loan sharks.
00:44:47But I won't give up until I get the Leopold Fellowship.
00:44:50It's what my dad always wanted.
00:44:53And it's my only way out of this hell.
00:44:55Have you heard?
00:44:56The new piano professor is recommending the next Leopold Fellow.
00:45:01Whoever gets picked is basically guaranteed this spot.
00:45:06And he is so hot.
00:45:09He is.
00:45:10The fellowship should be all I'm thinking about.
00:45:13And yeah.
00:45:14Keep it.
00:45:17Stop obsessing over some hot stranger Ivory.
00:45:20You have a new professor to impress and a fellowship to win.
00:45:24Coming to class on another man's Maison Margiela jacket?
00:45:27What are you trying to make me jealous?
00:45:29A hot dog in a girl's mouth would make you jealous Prescott.
00:45:33You played rough with this guy, huh?
00:45:36Be a good girl Ivory.
00:45:38Take the jacket off and give it to me.
00:45:40You know Prescott, only sad jerks like you need to beg girls to take their clothes off for you.
00:45:50What do we have here?
00:45:51Give it back, Prescott.
00:45:52You want your dead daddy's photo back?
00:45:54Then give me the jacket, now.
00:45:57You shouldn't have ran in your mouth then.
00:46:04No!
00:46:08I'll give you a chance to kiss me and make this better.
00:46:11And make it good.
00:46:12You know I like it when you use your tongue, school slut.
00:46:15School slut!
00:46:16School slut!
00:46:17School slut!
00:46:19School slut!
00:46:21School slut!
00:46:22School slut!
00:46:23School slut!
00:46:24School slut!
00:46:24School slut!
00:46:25School slut!
00:46:25Oh!
00:46:27Back away!
00:46:29Not asking twice.
00:46:36She's my student?
00:46:41It can't.
00:46:42It can't be.
00:46:42He's my new professor?
00:46:45He's my new professor?
00:46:47Go to the nurse.
00:46:49Get cleaned up.
00:46:54With all due respect, as long as I'm paying tuition, I won't let a scratch shortchange my education.
00:47:00First lesson in my class.
00:47:02Do not put your hands on a fellow student.
00:47:06Or what?
00:47:07You're gonna report me to the dean?
00:47:09That's my mom, dumbass.
00:47:11Oh, I'll report you to her after I tell the police you were assaulting a fellow classmate.
00:47:18You think you'll look cute and toughs?
00:47:23That's what I thought.
00:47:25Find your seat, Mr. Rivett.
00:47:30For those of you who are ready to learn, I'm your theory professor, Emmerich Marceau.
00:47:36I'll also be mentoring some of you piano majors.
00:47:39Yes, I'll be recommending the Leopold Fellow.
00:47:42And yes, I only choose the best.
00:47:46He could be my mentor.
00:47:48He could recommend the fellowship.
00:47:51But that means private lessons.
00:47:53Every week.
00:47:54Alone.
00:47:55With him.
00:47:56Each of you will be auditioning for me in my office.
00:48:00The rest of you can turn to chapter two in your textbooks.
00:48:09Do we have a problem?
00:48:12Miss...
00:48:13Westbrook?
00:48:14Ivory Westbrook?
00:48:16I'll have my book by Friday.
00:48:18Once I make enough money.
00:48:23Do you know the difference between musicians playing in Carnegie Hall and those begging on the street?
00:48:28He saved my life earlier.
00:48:31And now he's chewing me out like this?
00:48:34I should be furious.
00:48:35But why does my heart pound so hard when he's close?
00:48:39Discipline.
00:48:43Find your discipline.
00:48:45Or I won't waste my time with you.
00:48:47Understood?
00:48:52Don't worry.
00:48:53I'll drill her after school.
00:48:55I'll drill her real hard.
00:48:58One more word.
00:49:00And you're flunking this class.
00:49:02Bye-bye Bahamas.
00:49:04Say hello to summer school.
00:49:07Your first step, Miss Westbrook.
00:49:09My office.
00:49:10Now.
00:49:11You didn't have to do that.
00:49:12I told you I would get the book so you didn't have to call me out like that in front
00:49:16of the whole class.
00:49:16I don't know if you noticed, but how'd you stop them from taunting you?
00:49:19Thanks, Professor, but I don't want your pity.
00:49:22You should just take this back.
00:49:24Not after all your classmates have already seen you in it.
00:49:28Keep it.
00:49:29Now tell me.
00:49:31Why do your brother and classmates seem to take so much pleasure in making you suffer?
00:49:36I'm okay, Professor, but...
00:49:40Did your brother do this or was that prick Prescott?
00:49:44Just because you played hero doesn't mean you know shit about my life.
00:49:48Okay, I've been taking care of myself way before you showed up this morning, so really, Professor?
00:49:53I'm fine.
00:49:57That's it.
00:49:58Lift your shirt.
00:50:02What the hell?
00:50:04You're my professor.
00:50:06And I'm required to report any suspected child abuse to Protective Services.
00:50:10I am 19.
00:50:11I'm not a child.
00:50:12What I've witnessed this morning, you're going to have to prove to me that you don't have any other bruises
00:50:16or I'm going to be forced to make a call.
00:50:21I'll be forced to scream if you come any closer, Professor.
00:50:39That's enough. I won't touch you, Miss Westbrook.
00:50:43He could have taken advantage of me, but he didn't. There's no hunger in his eyes. Just worry. Maybe he's
00:50:52not like the others.
00:50:52Now, why don't you show me what you've got, Miss Westbrook?
00:50:59My dream, my dad's dream, all comes down to this. Deep breath. God, why won't my fingers move?
00:51:12I can help you, Miss Westbrook. You only have to trust me.
00:51:19I trust you, Professor.
00:51:22Good.
00:51:24Now, look ahead.
00:51:30I want you to forget everything.
00:51:38Now, wait for me, Miss Westbrook.
00:51:41His voice. His commands.
00:51:45Why is this warmth rushing through my veins?
00:51:55Her plane isn't perfect, but it's raw to wild, powerful.
00:52:05I've never heard anything like it.
00:52:09That's enough.
00:52:12God, did I screw up that bad?
00:52:15Now, you may have noticed that I have some unconventional methods,
00:52:19which means I need a student who is 100% committed to following my rules.
00:52:23Can you handle that?
00:52:25I know it's crazy, but I trust him.
00:52:28I've never played like that.
00:52:30He can help me become a better musician.
00:52:33I can. Professor, I'm committed.
00:52:36In that case, there's only one thing left to do.
00:52:38Did you hear that?
00:52:39For like 30 seconds, and he already cut her off?
00:52:42She should have played trumpet if all she can do is blow.
00:52:50You're all dismissed.
00:52:52Go find another instructor.
00:52:57What the fuck just happened?
00:53:03Something's off between Ivory and that new professor.
00:53:08Considering we'll be in this very room for four hours every day.
00:53:11I have some ground rules to lay.
00:53:18First rule.
00:53:19No lies.
00:53:21So tell me.
00:53:22Where were you gonna get the money for your textbooks?
00:53:25It's none of your business.
00:53:27Second.
00:53:28Do not question my methods.
00:53:32Third.
00:53:34Never look away.
00:53:36Eyes on me.
00:53:38Always.
00:53:40Not once if you understand.
00:53:45Good girl.
00:53:47What are you doing, Luis?
00:53:49I pulled your fire, Miss Westbrook.
00:53:524.0 GPA.
00:53:53The only scholarship student.
00:53:55My school was the same.
00:53:57But thanks to his mentor, the scholarship kid, got the Leopold Fellowship and wound up playing in the Lincoln Center.
00:54:04You know what he's doing today.
00:54:06What?
00:54:07He's talking to you.
00:54:09I'll give you my address and door pin.
00:54:12If you don't have anywhere else to go.
00:54:14You come to me.
00:54:16Look at me.
00:54:18I'm on your side, Miss Westbrook.
00:54:21Professor Marceau?
00:54:24Oh.
00:54:29Oh, I didn't know you were with a student, Professor Marceau.
00:54:33Just routine auditioned, Dean River.
00:54:35You're dismissed, Miss Westbrook.
00:54:50Now play for me, Miss Westbrook.
00:54:53Stop it.
00:54:54He's your professor.
00:54:56Quit fantasizing about him and walk away.
00:55:03I'll cut to the chase, Emmerich.
00:55:04I don't care who you mentor.
00:55:07But you're giving my son, Prescott, the Leopold Fellowship.
00:55:11You're gonna report me to the dean?
00:55:12That's my mom, dumbass.
00:55:15What?
00:55:16Is this why you hired me?
00:55:18It's not that hard.
00:55:19Every year, the judges pick whoever the head piano instructor picks.
00:55:24The only other candidate is Ivory Westbrook.
00:55:28And she has a reputation of being very close with the boys here.
00:55:35That got your attention.
00:55:37Don't tell me you're giving Miss Westbrook special attention.
00:55:41She's my student.
00:55:43Exactly.
00:55:44So tell Ivory to back off.
00:55:47Or I'll ruin her.
00:55:48And she'll have no future left.
00:55:51Don't forget, I gave you a fresh start here, Emmerich.
00:56:07Oh, Professor.
00:56:08So, about Leopold-
00:56:10Miss Westbrook.
00:56:11Maybe the fellowship isn't the best option for you.
00:56:14Wait.
00:56:16You just promised to help me.
00:56:18And now you're already going back on your word?
00:56:21You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
00:56:25Wait.
00:56:26She knows about my deal with the dean.
00:56:29Admit it.
00:56:30You never thought I was good enough for Leopold.
00:56:32I'm just saying there are plenty of other opportunities for you to consider.
00:56:35Well, why should I?
00:56:37Why should I give up?
00:56:39To stay safe from people like Beverly and Prescott Riverd.
00:56:42Tell Ivory to back off.
00:56:44Or I'll ruin her.
00:56:45So you'll use your experimental methods on me.
00:56:48But when you crush my dreams, you won't even say why.
00:57:00You wanna know why?
00:57:02Because of childish behavior like this.
00:57:04You're not ready.
00:57:07End of discussion.
00:57:18I'm not in the mood, Prescott.
00:57:19I've been patient enough, Ivory.
00:57:21You can't keep a customer waiting forever.
00:57:30I thought I heard her voice.
00:57:32Where did she go?
00:57:37No.
00:57:42Oh my...
00:57:43Fucking touch me, Prescott.
00:57:45You know I don't need to touch you to make you my bitch.
00:57:52500.
00:57:53If you lose a shirt.
00:57:55Oh, come on, Ivory.
00:57:57I know your price.
00:57:59You want money for rent?
00:58:00Books?
00:58:01Then strip.
00:58:04I'll just sell you to the strip club myself.
00:58:08I need that money.
00:58:10Or this is what the rest of my life will look like.
00:58:13Strip! Strip! Strip! Strip! Strip! Strip! Strip!
00:58:36I'm on your side, Miss Whisperer.
00:58:38He's just my professor.
00:58:39But why am I praying that he'll come for me?
00:58:44Stop being such a prude school slut.
00:58:46Yeah, come on, Ivory.
00:58:48Those racks are basically school property, okay?
00:58:53Stop testing my patience, Ivory.
00:58:55I'm not paying until I get my dick wet.
00:58:59It's a professor, isn't it?
00:59:01I saw the way you look at him.
00:59:03You're just begging him to shove that baton all the way up here.
00:59:05Maybe.
00:59:06I'm just done being your personal rag doll.
00:59:12Acting out in class, huh?
00:59:13You're practically begging for us.
00:59:16No.
00:59:17Let me go!
00:59:18Stop! Help!
00:59:20That's where the brass players emptied their spit.
00:59:24Oh, she'll be fine.
00:59:27We all know she's so great at swallowing.
00:59:31Chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow,
00:59:40chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow,
00:59:43chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow,
00:59:48chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow, chow
00:59:59Mr. River, if we keep meeting like this, I'll break your fingers until the only piano in your life will
01:00:06be how women describe you, sorry dick.
01:00:08If I see one video of Miss Westbrook online, I'll come after both of you.
01:00:15Come with me, Miss Westbrook. Our lesson isn't over yet.
01:00:27Here's the textbook you need.
01:00:29If you need something, don't go to Prescott anymore.
01:00:33No charity case, Professor.
01:00:35This isn't out of the goodness of my heart.
01:00:37This is an investment in you and your talent.
01:00:49After what just happened, you just want me to play?
01:00:53Rule number two, don't question my methods.
01:01:02My fingers are shaking.
01:01:05My heart is racing.
01:01:08All because of him.
01:01:10Your pulse is racing.
01:01:12Good.
01:01:14You need to learn to play under pressure.
01:01:17To take control.
01:01:19Rule number two, you can do it.
01:01:31Teach me, Professor.
01:01:39Please.
01:01:51Music, my only savior.
01:01:54My only voice.
01:01:56With my fingers on the black and ivory keys,
01:01:59it's the only time I'm truly free.
01:02:04When my parents died,
01:02:05they left me with nothing but this piano.
01:02:09And my bastard brother.
01:02:13Where's your cash, bitch?
01:02:15I got the loan sharks after me.
01:02:16And if you don't pay them back,
01:02:18I'm just going to ship you off to their strip club myself.
01:02:21Maybe you should grow a pair
01:02:23and clean up your own mess, big brother.
01:02:26Maybe you should watch your mouth
01:02:27or your fingers are going to pay a price.
01:02:32It is your fault
01:02:34that we are in the hole.
01:02:36Dad sent the family business
01:02:39to pay for your fancy music school.
01:02:42Did you think that they'll refund me
01:02:44if I break your fingers?
01:02:46In your dreams.
01:02:51Oh, you're asking for it now.
01:02:53No, not my music sheets.
01:02:55No.
01:02:55Dad, I'll get every penny
01:02:57into your life insurance.
01:02:59You're worth more to be dead
01:03:00than a lot.
01:03:02All right on,
01:03:04you precious music shit
01:03:07and die with it.
01:03:19A man like him doesn't belong
01:03:21in a neighborhood like this.
01:03:22Hey!
01:03:23You almost killed my baby sister,
01:03:25you motherfucker!
01:03:27Look at, she's bleeding!
01:03:28I wasn't the one
01:03:29that shoved her into the middle of the road,
01:03:31so you might as well drop the act.
01:03:33All right then.
01:03:35You are not.
01:03:35Give me your fucking keys
01:03:36and your wallet
01:03:37or you're dead.
01:03:39Come and get it.
01:03:43Fuck it up!
01:03:44Don't touch your sister again,
01:03:45you abusive piece of shit.
01:03:56Keep it.
01:03:58It's cold in the rain.
01:04:02A stranger
01:04:03saved me?
01:04:08Who is he?
01:04:16Emmerich,
01:04:17what was all that noise?
01:04:18Detour.
01:04:19Almost at school.
01:04:21Good.
01:04:22Don't want our new piano professor
01:04:24late on his first day.
01:04:26This professor position
01:04:27at Le Moyne
01:04:28is my last chance.
01:04:29No distractions, Emmerich.
01:04:32Not at all.
01:04:36It's the second semester
01:04:37of my freshman year
01:04:38at Le Moyne Conservatory,
01:04:40the most prestigious
01:04:41music college in the country.
01:04:43And I'm the only student here
01:04:44without a trust fund.
01:04:54Oops!
01:04:55Watch it.
01:04:56Trailer trim.
01:04:58Hey, Ivory,
01:04:59is your body count
01:05:00really higher
01:05:01than the number of keys
01:05:02on a piano?
01:05:04I didn't know
01:05:05the guys here
01:05:05are so into charity.
01:05:10It's true.
01:05:11The boys pay me
01:05:12to do their homework
01:05:13and they do me.
01:05:15Their money keeps me
01:05:16in school
01:05:16instead of sleeping
01:05:17on the streets
01:05:19or getting pawned off
01:05:20as a plaything
01:05:20for loan sharks.
01:05:23But I won't give up
01:05:24until I get
01:05:24the Leopold Fellowship.
01:05:26It's what my dad
01:05:27always wanted.
01:05:29And it's my only way
01:05:30out of this hell.
01:05:31Have you heard?
01:05:32The new piano professor
01:05:33is recommending
01:05:35the next
01:05:35Leopold Fellow.
01:05:37Whoever gets picked
01:05:38is basically
01:05:39guaranteed this spot.
01:05:42And he is so hot.
01:05:45The fellowship
01:05:46should be all
01:05:47I'm thinking about
01:05:48and yeah.
01:05:50Keep it.
01:05:52Stop obsessing
01:05:53over some hot
01:05:54stranger ivory.
01:05:56You have a new
01:05:56professor to impress
01:05:58and a fellowship
01:05:59to win.
01:05:59Coming to class
01:06:00on another man's
01:06:01Maison Margiela jacket?
01:06:02What are you trying
01:06:03to make me jealous?
01:06:04A hot dog.
01:06:05And a girl's mouth
01:06:06would make you jealous,
01:06:07Prescott.
01:06:08You played rough
01:06:09with this guy, huh?
01:06:12Be a good girl,
01:06:13Ivory.
01:06:13Get the jacket off
01:06:14and give it to me.
01:06:16You know,
01:06:16Prescott,
01:06:17only sad jerks like you
01:06:19need to beg girls
01:06:20to take their clothes
01:06:20off for you.
01:06:25What do we have here?
01:06:27Give it back, Prescott.
01:06:28You want your
01:06:28dead daddy's photo back?
01:06:29Then give me the jacket
01:06:30now.
01:06:32You shouldn't have
01:06:33around your mouth,
01:06:33then.
01:06:34Oh, shit.
01:06:39No!
01:06:44I'll give you a chance
01:06:44to kiss me
01:06:45and make this better.
01:06:46And make it good.
01:06:48You know I like it
01:06:49when you use your tongue,
01:06:49school slut.
01:06:55School slut!
01:06:56School slut!
01:06:57School slut!
01:06:58School slut!
01:06:59School slut!
01:07:00School slut!
01:07:02Back away!
01:07:04You're not asking twice.
01:07:11She's my student?
01:07:16It can't be.
01:07:18He's my new professor?
01:07:20He's my new professor?
01:07:23Go to the nurse.
01:07:24Get cleaned up.
01:07:29With all due respect,
01:07:31as long as I'm paying
01:07:32tuition,
01:07:32I won't let a scratch
01:07:33shortchange my education.
01:07:36First lesson in my class.
01:07:38Do not put your hands
01:07:40on a fellow student.
01:07:42Or what?
01:07:43You're going to
01:07:43report me to the dean?
01:07:44That's my mom,
01:07:45dumbass.
01:07:48Oh, I'll report you to her
01:07:50after I tell the police
01:07:51you were assaulting
01:07:52a fellow classmate.
01:07:54You think you'll
01:07:55look cute and tough.
01:07:59That's what I thought.
01:08:01Find your seat,
01:08:02Mr. Rivett.
01:08:06For those of you
01:08:07who are ready to learn,
01:08:08I'm your theory professor,
01:08:10Emmerich Marceau.
01:08:12I'll also be mentoring
01:08:13some of you piano majors.
01:08:14Yes,
01:08:16I'll be recommending
01:08:17the Leopold fellow.
01:08:18And yes,
01:08:19I only choose the best.
01:08:22He could be my mentor.
01:08:24He could recommend
01:08:25the fellowship.
01:08:26But that means
01:08:27private lessons
01:08:28every week
01:08:29alone
01:08:30with him.
01:08:32Each of you
01:08:32will be auditioning
01:08:34for me in my office.
01:08:35The rest of you
01:08:36can turn to chapter two
01:08:37in your textbooks.
01:08:44Do we have a problem,
01:08:47miss?
01:08:48Westbrook?
01:08:50Ivory Westbrook?
01:08:51I'll have my book
01:08:52by Friday
01:08:53once I make enough money.
01:08:58Do you know the difference
01:09:00between musicians
01:09:01playing in Carnegie Hall
01:09:02and those begging
01:09:03on the street?
01:09:04He saved my life
01:09:06earlier
01:09:06and now he's
01:09:08chewing me out
01:09:08like this?
01:09:09I should be furious,
01:09:11but why does my heart
01:09:12pound so hard
01:09:13when he's close?
01:09:15Discipline.
01:09:18Find your discipline
01:09:20or I won't waste
01:09:21my time with you.
01:09:23Understood?
01:09:28Don't worry.
01:09:29I'll drill her
01:09:29after school.
01:09:30I'll drill her
01:09:31real hard.
01:09:34One more word
01:09:35and you're
01:09:36flunking this class.
01:09:38Bye-bye, Bahamas.
01:09:39Say hello
01:09:40to summer school.
01:09:43Your first up,
01:09:44Miss Westbrook.
01:09:44My office.
01:09:45Now.
01:09:46You don't have
01:09:47to do that.
01:09:48I told you
01:09:49I would get the books.
01:09:49You didn't have
01:09:50to call me out
01:09:50like that
01:09:51in front of
01:09:51the whole class.
01:09:52I don't know
01:09:52if you noticed,
01:09:53but I just stopped
01:09:54them from taunting you.
01:09:55Thanks, Professor,
01:09:55but I don't want
01:09:56your pity.
01:09:57You should just
01:09:58take this back.
01:09:59Not after all
01:10:00your classmates
01:10:01have already
01:10:01seen you in it.
01:10:04Keep it.
01:10:05Now tell me,
01:10:07why do your brother
01:10:08and classmates
01:10:08seem to take
01:10:09so much pleasure
01:10:10in making you suffer?
01:10:12I'm okay,
01:10:13Professor,
01:10:14but...
01:10:16Did your brother
01:10:16do this
01:10:17or was that
01:10:17prick Prescott?
01:10:19Just because
01:10:20you played hero
01:10:21doesn't mean
01:10:22you know shit
01:10:22about my life.
01:10:24Okay,
01:10:24I've been taking
01:10:25care of myself
01:10:25way before you
01:10:27showed up this morning,
01:10:28so really,
01:10:28Professor,
01:10:29I'm fine.
01:10:32That's it.
01:10:34Lift your shirt.
01:10:38What the hell?
01:10:40You're my professor.
01:10:41And I'm required
01:10:42to report any
01:10:43suspected child abuse
01:10:44to protective services.
01:10:45I am 19.
01:10:46I'm not a child.
01:10:48What I witnessed
01:10:49this morning,
01:10:49you're gonna have
01:10:50to prove to me
01:10:50that you don't have
01:10:51any other bruises
01:10:52or I'm gonna be
01:10:52forced to make a call.
01:10:56I'll be forced
01:10:57to scream
01:10:58if you come any
01:10:58closer, Professor.
01:11:14That's enough.
01:11:16I won't touch you,
01:11:18Miss Westbrook.
01:11:19He could have
01:11:20taken advantage of me,
01:11:21but he didn't.
01:11:23There's no hunger
01:11:24in his eyes.
01:11:25Just worry.
01:11:26Maybe he's not
01:11:27like the others.
01:11:28Now,
01:11:29why don't you
01:11:30show me what you got,
01:11:31Miss Westbrook?
01:11:35My dream,
01:11:37my dad's dream,
01:11:38all comes down
01:11:39to this.
01:11:40Deep breath.
01:11:43God,
01:11:44why won't
01:11:44my fingers move?
01:11:48I can help you,
01:11:49Miss Westbrook.
01:11:51You only have
01:11:52to trust me.
01:11:55I trust you,
01:11:56Professor.
01:11:57good.
01:12:00Now,
01:12:00look ahead.
01:12:05I want you
01:12:07to forget
01:12:09everything.
01:12:13Now,
01:12:15play for me,
01:12:16Miss Westbrook.
01:12:17His voice,
01:12:18his commands.
01:12:20What is this warmth
01:12:22of washing
01:12:23through my veins?
01:12:30her playing
01:12:31isn't perfect,
01:12:32but it's raw,
01:12:34wild,
01:12:35powerful.
01:12:40I've never heard
01:12:41anything like it.
01:12:44That's enough.
01:12:48God,
01:12:49did I screw up
01:12:50that bad?
01:12:51Now,
01:12:51you may have
01:12:52noticed that I have
01:12:52some unconventional
01:12:54methods,
01:12:54which means I need
01:12:55a student who is
01:12:56100% committed
01:12:57to following my rules.
01:12:59Can you handle that?
01:13:00I know it's crazy,
01:13:02but I trust him.
01:13:04I've never played
01:13:05like that.
01:13:05He can help me
01:13:07become a better
01:13:07musician.
01:13:08I can't.
01:13:09Professor,
01:13:10I'm committed.
01:13:12In that case,
01:13:12there's only one
01:13:13thing left to do.
01:13:14Did you hear that?
01:13:15For like 30 seconds
01:13:16and he already
01:13:16cut her off?
01:13:18She should have
01:13:19played trumpet
01:13:19if all she can do
01:13:20is blow.
01:13:26You're all dismissed.
01:13:28Go find another
01:13:28instructor.
01:13:32What the fuck
01:13:33just happened?
01:13:38Something's off
01:13:39between Ivory
01:13:40and that new
01:13:40professor.
01:13:43Considering we'll
01:13:44be in this very
01:13:45room for four
01:13:45hours every day,
01:13:47have some
01:13:47ground rules
01:13:48to lay.
01:13:53First rule,
01:13:55no lies.
01:13:56So tell me,
01:13:58where were you
01:13:58going to get
01:13:59the money
01:13:59for your textbooks?
01:14:00It's none
01:14:01of your business.
01:14:03Second,
01:14:04do not
01:14:05question my
01:14:06methods.
01:14:08Third,
01:14:09never look
01:14:10away.
01:14:11Eyes on me.
01:14:13Always.
01:14:15Not once
01:14:16if you
01:14:16understand.
01:14:21Good girl.
01:14:23Why are you
01:14:23doing all this?
01:14:24I pulled you
01:14:25five,
01:14:26Miss Westbrook.
01:14:284.0 GPA,
01:14:29the only
01:14:29scholarship student.
01:14:31My school
01:14:31was the same.

01:14:38Center.
01:14:39You know
01:14:40what he's
01:14:40doing today?
01:14:42What?
01:14:43He's talking
01:14:44to you.
01:14:45I'll give you
01:14:46my address
01:14:46and door pin
01:14:48if you don't
01:14:48have anywhere
01:14:49else to go.
01:14:50You come to
01:14:51me.
01:14:52Look at me.
01:14:54I'm on your
01:14:55side,
01:14:55Miss Westbrook.
01:14:56Professor Marceau!
01:15:00Oh.
01:15:00Oh.
01:15:05Oh, I didn't
01:15:06know you
01:15:06were with
01:15:06a student,
01:15:07Professor Marceau.
01:15:08Just routine
01:15:09auditioned,
01:15:10Dean River.
01:15:11You're
01:15:11dismissed,
01:15:12Miss Westbrook.
01:15:25Now play for me,
01:15:27Miss Westbrook.
01:15:29Stop it.
01:15:30He's your
01:15:30professor.
01:15:32Quit fantasizing
01:15:33about him
01:15:33and walk
01:15:34away.
01:15:38I'll cut to the
01:15:39Chase Emmerich.
01:15:40I don't care
01:15:41who you mentor,
01:15:43but you're
01:15:43giving my son
01:15:44Prescott the
01:15:45Leopold Fellowship.
01:15:47You're going to
01:15:47report me to the
01:15:47dean?
01:15:48That's my mom,
01:15:49dumbass.
01:15:50What?
01:15:51Is this why
01:15:52you hired me?
01:15:53It's not that
01:15:54hard.
01:15:55Every year,
01:15:56the judges pick
01:15:57whoever the
01:15:57head piano
01:15:58instructor picks.
01:15:59The only other
01:16:00candidate is
01:16:01Ivory Westbrook.
01:16:04And she has a
01:16:05reputation of being
01:16:06very close
01:16:07with the boys
01:16:09here.
01:16:11That got your
01:16:12attention.
01:16:13Don't tell me
01:16:14you're giving
01:16:15Miss Westbrook
01:16:16special attention.
01:16:17She's my
01:16:18student.
01:16:19Exactly.
01:16:20So tell
01:16:21Ivory to
01:16:22back off
01:16:22or I'll
01:16:23ruin her
01:16:24and she'll
01:16:24have no
01:16:25future left.
01:16:26Don't forget
01:16:27I gave you
01:16:28a fresh start
01:16:29here,
01:16:30Emmerich.
01:16:42Oh, Professor.
01:16:44So, about
01:16:45Leopold...
01:16:45Miss Westbrook,
01:16:47maybe the
01:16:47fellowship isn't
01:16:48the best option
01:16:49for you.
01:16:50Wait.
01:16:52You just
01:16:52promised to
01:16:53help me
01:16:53and now you're
01:16:54already going
01:16:54back on your
01:16:55word?
01:16:57you're hiding
01:16:58something from
01:16:58me, aren't
01:16:59you?
01:17:00Wait.
01:17:01She knows about
01:17:02my deal with
01:17:03the dean.
01:17:05Admit it.
01:17:06You never thought
01:17:06I was good enough
01:17:07for Leopold.
01:17:08I'm just saying
01:17:08there are plenty of
01:17:09other opportunities
01:17:10for you to consider.
01:17:11Why should I?
01:17:13Why should I give
01:17:14up?
01:17:15To stay safe
01:17:16from people like
01:17:16Beverly and
01:17:17Prescott Riverd.
01:17:18Tell Irie to
01:17:19back off
01:17:20or I'll ruin her.
01:17:21So you'll use
01:17:22your experimental
01:17:23methods on me
01:17:24but when you
01:17:25crush my dreams
01:17:26you won't even
01:17:26say why.
01:17:36You want to
01:17:37know why?
01:17:38Because of
01:17:38childish behavior
01:17:39like this.
01:17:40You're not
01:17:41ready.
01:17:42End of
01:17:43discussion.
01:17:53I'm not
01:17:54in the mood
01:17:54Prescott.
01:17:55I've been
01:17:55patient enough
01:17:56Ivory.
01:17:56You can't
01:17:57keep a customer
01:17:57waiting forever.
01:18:06I thought
01:18:07I heard
01:18:07her voice.
01:18:08Where did
01:18:08she go?
01:18:17Oh my

01:20:35Mr. River, if we keep meeting like this, I'll break your fingers until the only piano in
01:20:41your life will be how women describe you.
01:20:43Sorry, dick.
01:20:44If I see one video of Miss Westbrook online, I'll come after both of you.
01:20:50Come with me, Miss Westbrook.
