00:00:19Girl, how do I get my hair to look like Madonna
00:00:21from Desperately Seeking Suzy?
00:00:23Every time I tease my roots, it just looks like...
00:00:26Miss Thiele.
00:00:27Why are you conversing on matters so banal?
00:00:30For ten years, the House of Abundance has reigned supreme.
00:00:34But last week, Pandavas stole our trophy.
00:00:38Focus, children.
00:00:40It is time we remind the world who we are.
00:00:43What category should we walk?
00:00:45Superhero.
00:00:46Why don't you just give Mother Somenex instead?
00:00:49Royalty.
00:00:50But we should all walk it together.
00:00:52All in the house, children.
00:00:53What are we going to do?
00:00:54Run down to Burger King and get some paper crowns?
00:00:56Ah, bitch!
00:01:02Shush, children, and let your mother speak.
00:01:05I know what we're going to do.
00:01:07She is the mother of invention.
00:01:08And this is where the goodness comes from.
00:01:11We will walk together as the Royal House of Abundance.
00:01:14I love that one.
00:01:17Oh, no, wait.
00:01:18Hold on a minute.
00:01:19That's the third time this week you've taken my idea as your own,
00:01:22and these bitches have gone along with it.
00:01:26What's the difference between walking royalty and walking as the Royal House of Abundance?
00:01:29Just because you have an idea does not mean you know how to properly execute it.
00:01:34Ideas are ingredients.
00:01:35Only a real mother knows how to prepare them.
00:01:40Real.
00:01:40You hear that cross-dresser?
00:01:42Now go over there and finish cooking.
00:01:54Girl, I don't want to go to jail.
00:02:08My friend Copa went to jail, and it broke her cheekbone and the nose.
00:02:12If you don't risk anything, you risk even more.
00:02:15Closing in ten minutes.
00:02:17Is that when you get all handsome?
00:02:19Yeah.
00:02:20Child, all this culture's making me weak.
00:02:24So when you need a little peace of mind, come on over for me.
00:02:31I can move right in.
00:02:32This should be my new apartment.
00:02:34You deserve it, mother.
00:02:35You really do.
00:02:35In my house, in my house.
00:02:39So when you need some love and tenderness.
00:02:43And it's me, baby, that you miss.
00:02:47Here's the key to my soul.
00:02:49That happens, wasn't it?
00:02:50Oh, oh, oh.
00:02:51To my house, my house.
00:02:56Woo!
00:02:57In my house.
00:03:00Woo!
00:03:01In my house.
00:03:03Woo!
00:03:05Jackpot.
00:03:05Woo!
00:03:10For any time, when you call me.
00:03:11Escort mother to her throne.
00:03:13Yeah, come on, let's go.
00:03:15Let's go.
00:03:15Let's go.
00:03:17Let's go.
00:03:19Woo!
00:03:19Attention, we have going.
00:03:20The museum will be closing in five minutes.
00:03:23Five minutes.
00:03:24Shit, we got high.
00:03:25So when you need a little peace of mind, come on over for any time.
00:03:33I'll give you happiness.
00:03:35Yes!
00:03:35I'm sorry.
00:03:36Let's go for it.
00:03:37I'll give you happiness.
00:03:37My house.
00:03:39My house.
00:03:41My house.
00:03:41Yeah.
00:04:02Oh, my God.
00:04:12Mother, what do we take?
00:04:14Everything.
00:04:19Come on.
00:04:20Hurry up.
00:04:23Come on.
00:04:24How can you go so long?
00:04:44I look too good not to be seen.
00:04:47Grab that bench.
00:04:49On the count of three.
00:04:51One.
00:04:53Two.
00:04:56Run!
00:04:57Run!
00:05:19Spotted them.
00:05:20They've got a pretty good idea where they're headed.
00:05:31Hurry up and put this shit on.
00:05:42Royalty.
00:05:43The category is Bring It Like Royalty.
00:05:51Yeah.
00:05:52You own everything.
00:05:54Everything is yours.
00:05:57You own your jewels.
00:05:58You own your country.
00:05:59You own your man.
00:06:00You own the every motherfucking singer.
00:06:05Yeah.
00:06:07Oh, oh, oh.
00:06:09I don't know of a princess or a queen who gets their clothes from casual corner.
00:06:17It's all right.
00:06:17It's all right.
00:06:18E for effort.
00:06:19Please turn for the judges.
00:06:20Please turn for the judges.
00:06:21Turn around.
00:06:22Round building, honey.
00:06:24And the judges go.
00:06:25We have a six.
00:06:27We have a ten.
00:06:28We have a six.
00:06:29We have a six.
00:06:29The shade.
00:06:31The shade of it all.
00:06:33Absolutely useless.
00:06:34Remove yourselves.
00:06:35Unfortunately, you are dismissed.
00:06:36Bye-bye.
00:06:38See ya.
00:06:39Give that a hand.
00:06:41Anyone else?
00:06:42Going one.
00:06:43Swim.
00:06:44Three times a lady.
00:06:48Anyone else?
00:06:50Oh, well.
00:06:51Yeah.
00:06:59And the House of Abundance has entered the building.
00:07:05We're giving realness.
00:07:08We're giving cake.
00:07:09We're giving peignets and corsets and surcoats and crowns.
00:07:16Oh, my.
00:07:19Disney.
00:07:21Disney, watch your ass.
00:07:25Blenderella is in town.
00:07:28They are giving wands.
00:07:30They are giving prints and princess realness.
00:07:33Look at the prints.
00:07:35Yes, live, Lord Jesus.
00:07:37Listen and learn.
00:07:39Ah, yes.
00:07:41Walk for me.
00:07:42Walk for me.
00:07:51Yes.
00:07:52And there you have it.
00:07:54And where's the queen?
00:07:56Where's the one and only?
00:07:58Election.
00:07:59The queen.
00:08:00The queen.
00:08:01The queen is giving a ball.
00:08:03The queen is giving a ball.
00:08:05Oh, yes.
00:08:10The queen is giving a ball.
00:08:13The queen is giving a ball.
00:08:13What are we giving?
00:08:16That's right, T-Honey.
00:08:22Ten.
00:08:23Ten.
00:08:24Ten.
00:08:24Ten.
00:08:25Ten.
00:08:25Across the board.
00:08:27Grand prize.
00:08:29House of Abundance.
00:08:31The queen is giving a ball.
00:08:35The queen is giving a ball.
00:08:36The queen is giving a ball.
00:08:37The queen is giving a ball.
00:08:37The queen is giving a ball.
00:08:40The queen is giving a ball.
00:08:43No.
00:08:44Ooooooooh.
00:08:45No.
00:08:52No.
00:08:55And that is how you do a ball.
00:09:12And one and two and three and four and five and six, seven, eight and close.
00:09:21And one and two and three and four and five and six, seven, eight and close.
00:09:51And one and two and four and five and six, seven, eight and close.
00:09:59And one and two and six.
00:10:06And one and two and five and six.
00:10:11And one and two and five and six, seven, eight and close.
00:10:42Where'd you come from?
00:10:43I was at school, sir.
00:10:44Guess who I was.
00:10:45I went into town meddled with the fellas for a drink at O'Malley's.
00:10:48When I arrived, they were having a laugh.
00:10:50You remember Todd?
00:10:51Worked down the factory with me.
00:10:52He saw you skipping out that dance studio in ballet shoes.
00:10:55And I'm thinking, not my son, because we discussed it.
00:10:58And I said, no dance class.
00:10:59I can explain.
00:11:00How do you explain this?
00:11:02Found it under your bed.
00:11:04I told your mother.
00:11:05You're too gentle with him.
00:11:06He's going to grow up a sissy.
00:11:08I tried toughening you up.
00:11:09She kept saying, creatives need space to explore.
00:11:12So I let her raise you.
00:11:13And this is how you repay my kindness?
00:11:18What?
00:11:19Speak up.
00:11:20You're 17.
00:11:21You're a man, all right?
00:11:23So say it.
00:11:28I'm a dancer.
00:11:32And...
00:11:34I'm gay.
00:11:36I'm trying to make something out of myself.
00:11:38I want to get out of this town and be somebody.
00:11:41Oh, so I'm a nobody because I never left?
00:11:43You don't know what it's like to be a man.
00:11:46It's a struggle.
00:12:04I want him out of my house.
00:12:19You're dead to me.
00:12:35How could you betray me this way?
00:12:38I went against your father's words, supported your creativity,
00:12:42and you bring filth into my home!
00:12:45And you know the Bible condemns homosexuality,
00:12:48and God will punish you by giving you that disease.
00:12:53But I'm not a sinner.
00:12:55You are!
00:12:56If you love me,
00:12:58you will go before him,
00:13:00ask for forgiveness,
00:13:02and never engage in vile behavior.
00:13:04Understood?
00:13:09That's how it's gonna be?
00:13:27We take our money.
00:13:27Fior alto on me.
00:13:27blind! Why aren't
00:13:50I helping you?
00:14:10Blanca.
00:14:19So what does it say?
00:14:21Come on, don't keep me in suspense.
00:14:23Rip the band-aid off.
00:14:28Blanca, the tests confirm that you have HIV.
00:14:38All right, thank you.
00:14:40Wait, I have more information to share.
00:14:50These cover what services are currently available to you.
00:14:53There are several hospitals that are working with individuals diagnosed with HIV.
00:14:57I'd recommend St. Vincent's.
00:14:59They have an exceptional staff.
00:15:01And there are drugs, like AZT.
00:15:04And, uh, Blanca, you should also notify your sexual partners.
00:15:08This doesn't have to be a dissent.
00:15:09Isn't it, though?
00:15:17For what?
00:15:19It must be hard to happen to tell people they're gonna die day after day.
00:15:38Cry more, pee less.
00:15:41That's what my mama used to say.
00:15:42She was a saint.
00:15:44A Saint Bernard.
00:15:47Girl, that woman must have weighed at least 400 pounds.
00:15:53I do not understand, for the life of me, why you would have gone and had that test.
00:15:59You already knew the answer.
00:16:04You having any symptoms?
00:16:06No.
00:16:07Then you know what to do.
00:16:08Keep living.
00:16:10Put on your tallest pump and go on and get back out into the world.
00:16:14You ain't dead yet.
00:16:15There is nothing more tragic than a sad queen.
00:16:18I'm not sad.
00:16:22It's a tears of joy.
00:16:24I'm relieved.
00:16:26I ain't never been certain of anything.
00:16:31It's just been all one day at a time.
00:16:33Until now.
00:16:35I don't wanna die.
00:16:38I wanna live.
00:16:44I know it sounds crazy, but...
00:16:47I always knew I wasn't gonna be long on this earth.
00:16:52I still don't know the way.
00:16:54But at least now I know the how.
00:16:56At least now something in my life is for sure.
00:17:02All that says to me is that it's time for you to find a dream.
00:17:35I'll take it.
00:17:46I'll take it.
00:18:02I'll take it.
00:18:03So, we don't gotta go to court or anything.
00:18:06I explained it to you.
00:18:08The museum ain't pressing charges.
00:18:10If word gets out that a bunch of queens broke into all that historical finery,
00:18:14they ain't never giving anyone else anything to exhibit ever again.
00:18:18We're free as the birds in the sky, y'all.
00:18:20From now on, we should only walk as a house.
00:18:23So quiet today, Blanca.
00:18:25I just got a lot on my mind.
00:18:26As always, perhaps you're thinking about strategies for the ball on Friday.
00:18:32Perhaps you're thinking of some more of your wonderful and proprietary ideas you're so proud of.
00:18:36Aren't you the one always giving me my inspirations and motivations?
00:18:41Or perhaps you're thinking of the most opportune time to tell your sisters and your mother what she already knows.
00:18:47Just as I thought, no honor or courage in you.
00:18:52Alright, if you don't have the chutzpah to say it yourself, then I'll say it for you.
00:18:56Our dear sister Blanca has decided to desert us.
00:19:00Shut that shit off!
00:19:04Did you not know that I have spies all over this city?
00:19:07Did you not think that I would know that you were looking at flea-infested apartments to rent, scouring the
00:19:12streets for shit,
00:19:13stuffed broken furniture and sad chiffon for frayed curtains?
00:19:16Mother knows everything. Eyes in the back of my head.
00:19:19Take the witness stand, traitor!
00:19:20It's true, all of it. I'm going to form my own house. It's my time, it's my dream, and I'm
00:19:27going for it. I do not want any of your opinions.
00:19:30Not even mine!
00:19:31Honestly, no. But I do want your blessing. Believe me, this isn't about you, it's about me, what I need.
00:19:38That's for damn sure. Why would you want to leave my house? The house that found you and raised you?
00:19:45Because in our world, there's only one way to leave something behind. Proof that I was here. Building a legendary
00:19:50house my way, with my ideas.
00:19:52So that's it? You want a house so the world can sing your glory for years to come?
00:19:56When I got kicked out, I was a 17-year-old kid who didn't understand who I was if I
00:20:01was going to die in the cold or from starvation.
00:20:03You found me, took care of me. You helped me understand. It's time I passed that kindness horn.
00:20:10No. It's time you paid that kindness back. To your mother, in her greatest time of need.
00:20:17Rather than lying to her, going behind her back after she rescued you from the gutter and showed you the
00:20:22ways of this world.
00:20:24So no! No, bitch! I do not give you my blessing. I give you what every mother gives a baby
00:20:29bird who has feasted off the scraps of her sisters and gotten too fat.
00:20:32A push out of the nest. You are not on my level!
00:20:36You are jealous and petty, and you show your true color.
00:20:39I have a right to show my colors, and you show yours. You're not ready. You're a second banana. I
00:20:44give you that, but no more.
00:20:45Look at me. Look at you. I can pass. I can strut down Fifth Avenue when the sun is sitting
00:20:51high as my cheekbones and be waited on that bird off, same as any white woman, while you hide away
00:20:56in the shadows.
00:20:58You're way ahead of yourself in the game, beast.
00:21:04So, do any of you want to walk out this door with me into the future, or would you rather
00:21:08choke on dust and decay?
00:21:09You'll be back. Never.
00:21:20Get your shady hands on me.
00:21:23Justice.
00:21:23Justice.
00:21:36Hey! Let go! Hey! Let go!
00:21:39Hey! Hey!
00:21:41Mark!
00:21:43I told you, you gotta keep it on your back. Especially when you sleep.
00:21:47Nowhere.
00:21:50Forgot.
00:21:55Thanks.
00:21:56Thanks for coming.
00:21:57You got to go.
00:21:59Come back.
00:22:01I wanna feel good.
00:22:03I'm glad we all got to see you.
00:22:10You've crossed.
00:22:11I'm ready.
00:22:17You've crossed the distance.
00:22:20I'm hungry.
00:22:23I'm hungry.
00:22:24I'm hungry.
00:22:25I'm hungry.
00:24:12I'm not like you.
00:24:13I'm sorry.
00:24:13My dreams are real.
00:24:14Oh, so you think your dreams are more real than mine.
00:24:19So what exactly is a ball?
00:24:22Balls are a gathering of people who are not welcome to gather anywhere else.
00:24:25A celebration of a life that the rest of the world does not be worthy of celebration.
00:24:29There are categories.
00:24:30People dress up for them.
00:24:32Walk.
00:24:32There's voting, trophies.
00:24:34Oh, can you make money?
00:24:35Better than money.
00:24:36You can actually make a name for yourself by winning a trophy or two.
00:24:39And in our community, the glory of your name is everything.
00:24:43Now, we're not going to be walking the red carpets at the Oscars, but this is our moment
00:24:47to become a star.
00:24:49Welcome to the ballroom world.

00:25:43We have a nine, six, nine.
00:25:45And who do we have next?
00:25:47Ah, here it comes.
00:25:49Yes, yes.
00:25:50We have high yellow.
00:25:52We live on Long Island.
00:25:53Realness, what it's all about?
00:25:55Being able to fit into the straight white world to embody the American dream.
00:25:59Well, we don't have access to that dream.
00:26:01And it's not because of ability, trust me.
00:26:04Calling this executive hustler realness, y'all.
00:26:08The sepia Don Corleone at the Russian Tea Room.
00:26:12I mean, isn't that what you're trying to do?
00:26:14Dance your way into that world?
00:26:15The world of acceptability?
00:26:18Don't scare the white people.
00:26:19Don't scare the white folks, y'all.
00:26:23I'm sorry I said I wasn't like you.
00:26:25Oh, child, hush.
00:26:27You are a gay black boy.
00:26:28What else you gonna find to make you feel superior?
00:26:32I'll get you more coffee, ma'am.
00:26:33Um, no, thank you, sweetie.
00:26:35I'll be up all night.
00:26:36Sure.
00:26:36Okay.
00:26:43So, do you have, like, a real job, or...?
00:26:46I don't judge people based on how they live.
00:26:48I'm lucky I can mostly pass.
00:26:52I've taken the hormones I know how to carry myself.
00:26:57I kept who I was quiet from my parents for a long time.
00:27:01I would wait until they went to sleep and put on my face in finery and sneak out to the
00:27:06ball.
00:27:07Sneak back before they woke up.
00:27:09I thought I was so smart.
00:27:11Oh, then on Thanksgiving, I'll never forget.
00:27:13Okay.
00:27:14Mother kept looking and grinning and kept looking away.
00:27:17So, finally, I said,
00:27:19Mother, what in the world are you grinning about?
00:27:22You know what she said?
00:27:23She said,
00:27:24Oh, you think you so clever.
00:27:26I see that little young girl who runs in and out of your room,
00:27:29sneaks in and out of your room in the dark of the night.
00:27:32But I gagged.
00:27:33I was too stunned to speak.
00:27:35So, she went on to say how she wasn't mad,
00:27:38and she was just so relieved I wasn't one of those sinful gays.
00:27:41Oh, my God.
00:27:41What did you do?
00:27:42I said,
00:27:43Mother,
00:27:45that was no strange woman sneaking through your halls.
00:27:48That was me.
00:27:50I am not gay, and I am certainly not sinful.
00:27:54What I am is a woman, Mother.
00:27:57Not your son, but your daughter.
00:28:05Well, she couldn't abide by that, huh?
00:28:09She banished me from her home and in her heart.
00:28:14I cried like a baby
00:28:16and left and never looked back.
00:28:21When you get rejected by your mother,
00:28:23your father,
00:28:26you're always out there looking for someone to
00:28:29replace that love you're missing.
00:28:38And when you take my address,
00:28:42come if you feel it's right for you.
00:28:44If nothing else,
00:28:47tonight you got an education.
00:28:51Hmm.
00:28:52Hmm.
00:29:18Stan Bowes.
00:29:19Bowes, what kind of name is that?
00:29:20We're Irish-Italian.
00:29:23What's your background?
00:29:24I was born in Rye, then Riverdale, Princeton, Wharton, MBA, just like the boss.
00:29:28If you word your prick's too small because you went to Hofstra, it isn't.
00:29:30You know why Trump picked your resume out of all the others?
00:29:32You're from New Jersey.
00:29:33Usually that's a detriment.
00:29:35Eh, not here. I'm the unicorn in this place. Trump is from Queens.
00:29:37He likes people who speak the same language as him, know how to get things done.
00:29:40I ask everyone who comes in here looking for a job right down to the janitor.
00:29:44What do you want? Not money-wise.
00:29:47What do you want?
00:29:51Well, I want to be you.
00:29:54That's a very good answer.
00:29:56I want what you have.
00:29:58I want a view of the river or the park or both.
00:30:00I want to be able to walk by a shop on 5th, see something in the window for my wife
00:30:03and just go buy it.
00:30:05A new American dream?
00:30:07For the first time in American history, it's considered a good thing to flaunt your success, right?
00:30:11Let people know how rich you are.
00:30:13This watch, particularly rose gold, nine grand. I got four of them.
00:30:18I've watched a mint game from the owner's box and partied with Goodman Strawberry afterwards.
00:30:22They say the day I was backstage at a Cindy Lauper concert.
00:30:24I drive a Mercedes 350 and the suit is bespoke.
00:30:33God bless Ronald Reagan.
00:30:39I don't know.
00:30:39I bother going, man.
00:30:40I do not know what right down the street.
00:30:42I think he's going to be on the road.
00:30:44I don't know what right down the street is.
00:30:46I never know what right down the street is.
00:30:49I guess what's going to be doing.
00:30:50The only thing that's going to be on the street is a good job.
00:30:58Check this out, since we talking on these deaf people right here, I've been together, I want to hear some
00:31:02of these deaf friends, and all of them saying it together, we get paid real money, close, fall back, all
00:31:06over 20s in the suburbs, the upper 20s group.
00:31:13I'm going to go fly away.
00:31:16He's back, that white boy.
00:31:19I'm going to go check it out.
00:31:21You're listening to this and information, 12 hours a day, on WCNXC News.
00:31:30Hey baby, finally decided to stop for a little chat.
00:31:37What do you mean?
00:31:38You've driven past this spot three times today, and I've seen your car before over the past couple of months.
00:31:44Window shopper.
00:31:48I'm Angel.
00:31:50Get in.
00:31:51You a cop?
00:31:58Let's have some fun, baby.
00:32:08This is classy.
00:32:13Where do you usually go?
00:32:14The exit usually suffices.
00:32:18I didn't know that was an option.
00:32:22People really do that?
00:32:23So why did you stop today?
00:32:24Special occasion?
00:32:27I'm, uh, celebrating.
00:32:31I got a job.
00:32:33So what are you, some kind of executive or something?
00:32:35Wall Street?
00:32:36It's an office on Park Avenue.
00:32:42Do you like music?
00:32:48Kind of a hobby of mine.
00:32:53Listen, you're not playing.
00:32:57Is this your first time?
00:33:00Doing something like this?
00:33:04Yeah.
00:33:06Huh.
00:33:09Don't worry, it's not mine.
00:33:16Just tell me what you want, baby.
00:33:24Take off your scoop.
00:33:27So don't forget it.
00:33:29It's just a silly thing.
00:33:32I'm going through.
00:33:38And, uh, um...
00:33:43Don't get me wrong.
00:33:45You'll think you've got to leave.
00:33:46No, take off your pants.
00:33:49I'm not in love.
00:33:51No, no.
00:33:55Take off your pants.
00:34:12I'm saving up to have my little friend removed.
00:34:15It's not cheap if you want to do it right.
00:34:21It's not that little.
00:34:30No, it's my turn.
00:34:38Take off your clothes.
00:34:41Come lay with Angel, baby.
00:34:52There's lies in the world.
00:34:56So don't you empty.
00:35:00Give it back.
00:35:02I know you know it doesn't mean.
00:35:05Never to see.
00:35:09I'm not enough.
00:35:12No, no.
00:35:14I'm not enough.
00:35:21There must be some parts of your body that you don't like, but you would love to have go away.
00:35:27Yeah, I guess mine are all on the inside, though.
00:35:32Ooh, you wait a long time for me.
00:35:39Ooh, you wait a long time.
00:35:46I'm not enough.
00:35:50So don't forget this.
00:35:53Just a silly face.
00:35:55I'm going to.
00:36:03So, is this what you want?
00:36:07To just lay here and listen to music with me?
00:36:14Can we talk?
00:36:17Of course.
00:36:19It's my second best skill.
00:36:21Do you want to talk, or...
00:36:24You.
00:36:25Yeah.
00:36:26So, um...
00:36:29Tell me about you.
00:36:32And what do you want out of life?
00:36:40No one's ever asked me like this before.
00:36:49I want a home of my own.
00:36:56I want a family.
00:36:57Hi.
00:36:58Hi, baby.
00:36:59Hi.
00:36:59Hi, princess.
00:37:01Hi, baby.

00:37:03Show me.
00:37:04Show me.
00:37:04Show me who we got.
00:37:05I want to take care of someone.
00:37:07What is this?
00:37:08Here, let's knock it over.
00:37:09You let the knock it over.
00:37:09And I want someone to take care of me.
00:37:16I want to be treated like any other woman.
00:37:22That's my dream.
00:37:25Drink.
00:37:27I thought you'd never ask.
00:37:34I can't believe you work for Donald Trump.
00:37:38That's so super impressive.
00:37:41He's so rich.
00:37:43I heard even his toilet is gold.
00:37:46Can you imagine?
00:37:49Now that's living in style.
00:38:07Can I kiss you?
00:38:19It's you and me.
00:38:24It's you and me.
00:38:26You won't be unhappy.
00:38:28I can't believe it.

00:39:53Did you see anybody go back with my backpack?

00:39:59Hey, don't do that.
00:40:00You let them see you shed a tear, you ain't never earning their respect.

00:47:29It's October.
00:47:30What if I'm not even here next week?
00:47:32Boy, shut up.
00:47:33Give me this.
00:47:34Give me.
00:47:35Let's see what this looks like.
00:47:37I'm glad you filled this out in pencil.
00:47:40And look, you spelled professional wrong.
00:47:42Look at that.
00:47:42You're going to school.
00:47:44Dance school.
00:47:45All of my children are required to pursue an education.
00:47:48My house has rules and I expect you both to follow them.
00:47:50I'm sorry.
00:47:52Rules.
00:47:53Yes.
00:47:54Education is key if you want to get ahead in this world.
00:47:58Listen, and you need to be safe, so leave them white boys alone.
00:48:01No.
00:48:01Next, I want you to be healthy.
00:48:03So make sure y'all taking out Flintstones, multivitamins.
00:48:06And I need you to be available to walk any of the balls.
00:48:10Those are mother's rules.
00:48:11I know they're harder than most, but I got to be tough on y'all,
00:48:14then the world will be.
00:48:15Hey.
00:48:16No.
00:48:16If y'all can't follow them, then you can leave.
00:48:18I can follow them.
00:48:19Okay, good.
00:48:21Good, because Friday night we're walking our first ball.
00:48:25Friday?
00:48:26Yeah.
00:48:28That's in two days.
00:48:29Mm-hmm.
00:48:29Girl, what are we going to wear?
00:48:31And then we think I was going to see you again.
00:48:36I don't know, pray tell.
00:48:37I'm sure the pads need to be a bit bigger.
00:48:39Girl, this boy is a string bean.
00:48:42If the shoulders get too broad, he's going to look like an upside-down traffic cone.
00:48:46What the young man needs is a sandwich.
00:48:49I'm usually not this skinny.
00:48:50I didn't eat for the first few weeks that I was here.
00:48:52Well, you know what they say, you can't be too skinny or too rich.
00:48:54Not anymore.
00:48:56You can always spot the boys and the girls down at the pier who got the AIDS,
00:48:59because they look wasted away.
00:49:02Like Halloween skeletons over in their own corner.
00:49:06I feel sad for them.
00:49:07Sometimes you can't tell if they fell asleep on a park bench or just died there.
00:49:15Yeah, well, they're all going to be revived when they hear that young Damon here is going to be dancing
00:49:19at the New School for Dance.
00:49:21When's your audition, baby?
00:49:22I'm not sure.
00:49:23They didn't give you a date?
00:49:26I didn't return my application.
00:49:28Uh-uh, but you said you did.
00:49:29Uh-uh.
00:49:30And you thought I would be the problem job?
00:49:31What if I audition and don't get in?
00:49:33Anyway, I missed the deadline.
00:49:35I don't even think I'm supposed to be there.
00:49:36Well, you're never going to find a place where you belong if you keep on running away.
00:49:38What makes you so sure?
00:49:39How in the hell you think we all wound up here?
00:49:41Amen.
00:49:42I believe in you.
00:49:44That's one of the reasons why we fussing like this.
00:49:45But don't you ever lie to me again.
00:49:46Do you have it?
00:49:50Okay, go somewhere, please, and get out of my business.
00:49:53I don't come to your job knocking dicks out your mouth.
00:49:56Hold on a second.
00:49:59So, do you ever walk in the balls anymore?
00:50:03No, baby, that's a young person's game.
00:50:05But the ball culture is my culture.
00:50:08This is my community.
00:50:10I'm respected here.
00:50:12Revered, even.
00:50:14Mm-hmm.
00:50:14Pray tell, it's like a father to all of us.
00:50:16He works at Macy's.
00:50:18Can you believe that?
00:50:19As a cologne spritzer.
00:50:20This is my passion.
00:50:22Designing clothes.
00:50:25Creating fantasies.
00:50:26You deserve your own line.
00:50:27That's the truth.
00:50:27Yeah, well, maybe someday.
00:50:33Yes, yes, yes.
00:50:35Yeah, it looks like my work here is done.
00:50:38Boy, get over here.
00:50:38Let me see what you look like.
00:50:40So, what category are we walking?
00:50:42Do I get to dance?
00:50:43Twirl!
00:50:48Baby, you are our secret weapon.
00:50:56Go!
00:51:14Vogueing doesn't just happen at the falls, it lives in the streets too.
00:51:20No touching!
00:51:22Oh, so it's like breakdance.
00:51:23Yes, but it's more than that.
00:51:25It's a statement.
00:51:26I wanna have a name in this world, I wanna be on top.
00:51:28You know what?
00:51:29No!
00:51:29You know what?
00:51:30You bitches can't have one night without your temperament getting the better of you.
00:51:34Back it up!
00:51:36Be kind to one another!
00:51:43What was all that about?
00:51:45Oh God, that was one story.
00:51:47Too many stolen men.
00:51:49Trophy lost unjustly.
00:51:51Doesn't matter though.
00:51:52A house can't be legendary unless it has a good rival.
00:51:56Which is why we have to challenge abundance.
00:51:59So, what if a house challenges another house to a dance of the death and you lose?
00:52:03Ooh, it would be all over.
00:52:07You're sent away, forever banished, eternal damnation.
00:52:13But how am I supposed to learn how to do all that?
00:52:16Practice!
00:52:27Cheers, baby.
00:52:28Cheers.
00:52:36So, this is what it's like to be a person at the top of the rainforest.
00:52:39Get used to it.
00:52:41Oh.
00:52:44Wow.
00:52:50Thank you, sir.
00:52:52Dip it in the butter.
00:52:53Okay.
00:53:03Is it as good as you imagined?
00:53:04I used to dream about having lobster.
00:53:07Like those fancy people down by the shore.
00:53:08I used to picture myself wearing one of those bits, you know?
00:53:11A lobster bib?
00:53:12Yeah, a lobster bib.
00:53:13Should I be wearing one right now?
00:53:14No.
00:53:15Just don't give a butt on your bow.
00:53:17And you cannot imagine a taste you never tasted.
00:53:19But I would just imagine what I would feel like when I finally got to eat it.
00:53:23What's better, the dream or the reality?
00:53:26The reality is I'm having it with you.
00:53:48You never did.
00:53:54I was a sick one for a long time, I used to wait for you.
00:53:57Your face disappeared from the world.
00:53:57You always did, I was like, oh.
00:53:57Uh-oh-oh.
00:54:11You never did.
00:54:19Happy anniversary, baby.
00:54:33Well, well, bring it like a military man.
00:54:41Realness. Yes.
00:54:45Be all that you can be.
00:54:49I just damn want you.
00:54:54Girl, I don't think we should do this.
00:54:56We can't stay stuck on the sidelines forever.
00:54:58Electra's gonna be so angry.
00:55:00It's fleet week.
00:55:02And I'm not talking to any of us, children.
00:55:08Thank you, military realness, for your service.
00:55:10You may leave the floor.
00:55:31I need everyone's attention.
00:55:34We have a challenge for the legendary children of the House of Abundance.
00:55:42The challenges are...
00:55:45What's the name of your house, baby?
00:55:49Inspired by the up-and-coming, legendary supermodel, Linda Evangelista, who stole my look and who I pay tribute to
00:55:55in return, we are the House of Evangelista.
00:55:59We are the House of Abundance.
00:56:09Abundance, do you accept this challenge?

01:00:56Children, leave your Monday morning open.
01:00:58Mandatory attendance, no exceptions.
01:01:01Please don't do this. It's embarrassing.
01:01:03We do not have the luxury of shame.
01:01:11Is this the head of dance?
01:01:13Do you have an appointment?
01:01:16Yes, I do.
01:01:17Wait here.
01:01:20Are you the head of dance?
01:01:22Helena St. Rogers?
01:01:23Can I help you?
01:01:26My name is Blanca.
01:01:28I'll be brief because I know how busy you are.
01:01:30I'm looking after a young man who applied for admissions as a dancer and was informed that he missed the
01:01:35cutoff.
01:01:36You're pretty strict about those things.
01:01:37I appreciate that, but this young man is a very special talent.
01:01:41He can apply in the spree.
01:01:51Do you know what the greatest pain a person can feel is?
01:01:56The greatest tragedy a life can experience.
01:02:00It is having a truth inside of you and you not being able to share it.
01:02:05It is having a great beauty and no one there to see it.
01:02:08This young boy has been discarded and he is so young, he believes that it has something to do with
01:02:14who he is.
01:02:16It's like cancer.
01:02:18It is going to eat at him from the inside until he starts to resent even the best parts of
01:02:23himself.
01:02:25Have a seat.
01:02:35I don't understand what you want me to do. We've accepted our fall class. We are full.
01:02:39No, but he is special.
01:02:42He's got all the talent and all the hurt. You need to be a true artist.
01:02:46Let him dance for you. Give him a chance. Give him three minutes of your time.
01:02:50When was the last time you were truly surprised by something in your life?
01:02:56Who are you again?
01:03:03I'm his mother.
01:03:09So what happened?
01:03:10You're going to dance for her.
01:03:12What? For who?
01:03:14The Dean of Dance right now. I got your stuff from home.
01:03:16I'm not ready. I haven't prepared anything.
01:03:18This is your turn now. You hear me? Take it.
01:03:24I don't have music.
01:03:28Hi. I'm Damon.
01:03:31So am I supposed to talk first or what am I supposed to do first?
01:03:36We just want to see you dance.
01:03:38I don't want to because so that's the樣.
01:03:52How am I supposed to dance?
01:03:54He's not gonna dance.
01:03:54I love you.
