Max: Yes, but when I got to New York, my father's friend told me about a surgery that could make him dance again and with the treatment he can dance again.
Thea: That's great Max
Max: I know and are they all from the Paris company?
Lena: No, Jeff just came to join us

Max: Or I see I figured it out
Inés: And how long have you been in the New York company?
Max: For a couple of 6 months
Lena: Low voice) The same 6 months that you left
Max: Are you okay Lena? (Worried)
Lena: Faking a smile) If I'm fine, why shouldn't I be?
Narrator: Max was going to talk about that but someone came in and spoke to the boys
Mr. Gabriel: Well I see that the company from Paris finally arrived, Max, what are you doing here? today there is no rehearsal
Max: I know Sir but I couldn't help it I like to dance and I want to take advantage of it

Max: Yes Sir I started to warm up with Hip hop and dance with ballet
Mr. Gabriel: Very good because you are the new members of the Paris company
Lena: Yes sir (bows)
Mr. Gabriel: Don't curtsy I'm not royalty Lena
Lena: How do you know my name?
Mr. Gabriel: Max told me about you when he arrived

Mr. Gabriel: Easy my dear. What's up Jeff (bumps his fist with Jeff) I'm Gabriel Mendes director of the New York Opera and the New York school, Max can you help me guide them to their rooms
Max: Yes Mr. Gabriel
Mr. Gabriel: What did I say about calling myself Lord?
Max: Sorry Gab
Mr. Gabriel: Make it better, come guys
Jeff: Dude, he doesn't look like Miss Carré at all
Max: I know
Isaac: And how does he know about us?
Max: When I auditioned for the company, he took me to his office, apparently he knows that I am Armando Castillo's son, so he asked me what I was doing here in New York and I told him I was wondering about each one of you.
