PART 8
Johnny and, a very drunk, Neil, are just outside the door at the front of the main hall.
Neil : You know I could have you fired for dragging me around like this.
Johnny : Let's get a few things straight here, Neil. First, your grandfather owns this resort, not you. Second, my cousin does the job that he is paid to do and it doesn't matter how or why he got the job. Third, Penny is none of your business and neither is what happened with Robbie. And last, I am in love with Baby and she is nothing to do with you anymore.
Neil : You really think Baby loves you?
Johnny : No, Neil, I don't think she loves me, I know she does.
Neil : Y'know I thought she loved me. I thought I was wanted by people, respected by people, loved by people. I guess I was wrong about a lot of things.
Johnny : [sighs] Listen to me Neil, sometimes life isn't so good, I know, I've been there, but you just have to keep fighting until you get to a better place.
Neil : You sound like Baby.
Johnny : She's taught me a lot. She a very smart girl.
Baby appears behind Johnny.
Baby : Johnny?
Johnny : Baby, go back inside.
Baby : What's going on?
Neil : Baby, I'm sorry.
Baby : Sorry for what?
Neil : Ruining your big night, tonight.
Baby : Well, you didn't ruin it. We did the performance, it went down really well, I could have done without hearing your drunken rambling though.
Neil : No, no, no I don't mean my being drunk [laughs]
Johnny : What are you talking about Nail?
Neil : [laughs]
Johnny : I swear, if he doesn't stop laughing I'm gonna...
Baby : Johnny, it's not worth it. Neil, explain.
Neil : [suddenly serious] I sabotaged the hall.
Johnny : You? I'm gonna wring his neck [moves towards Neil]
Baby : No! Johnny, I told you he's not worth it! Let me talk to him, please, just go back inside and tell everyone that everything's okay.
Johnny goes back inside.
Baby : Neil, why did you do it?
Neil : I don't know. I just hate the fact that him and his cousin are so popular around here now, and, oh, I don't know.
Baby : Neil, I'm sorry things didn't work out for you and me, but I love Johnny, and it's not that he's more popular than you, not really. You're a nice guy Neil, or at least you could be if you tried. You were a nice guy when I first met you last year.
Neil : Yeah, but you still chose Castle over me.
Baby : It wasn't like that. Neil, I didn't choose him over you specifically. I just fell in love with him. It wasn't something I could control.
Neil : I understand and I'm really sorry that I tried to sabotage your dance tonight.
Baby : Well, no harm done, we managed to fix it, but I think your grandfather deserves an apology and an explanation.
Neil : I can't give him an explanation, Baby. He wouldn't understand.
Baby : He might understand more than you think. In the meantime, you might want to go drink some coffee.
Neil : Yeah, okay. [walks away]
Johnny : [comes back outside] Baby?
Baby : It's okay Johnny, I talked to him. He's okay, he was just having a rough time understanding what was going on in his life. You can understand that, can't you?
Johnny : I guess so, but he didn't handle it too well.
Baby : I think he will from now on.
Johnny : You're an incredible person, Frances Housmann. [puts his arms around her]
Baby : So are you, Johnny Castle. [puts her arms around him too]
Johnny : Now how about we get back in there. Max was trying to take everyone's attention off what was happening with Neil so he's got everyone on their feet and Penny and Tommy are doing the biggest dance lesson of their lives.
Baby : [laughs] then I guess we should get in there and help them.
Johnny : In a minute...[kisses her] I love you, Baby.
Baby : I know and I love you too. Now let's go help our friends with that 'dirty dancing' lesson.
Johnny : [faking annoyance] Baby...
Baby : I know, I know, I'm not supposed to call it that [laughs]
They walk back into the hall where everyone is dancing, Penny & Tommy, Lisa & Billy, Mr & Mrs Housmann, everybody is 'dirty dancing' just like they had the year before...
A/N : Please review and tell me if you liked the end or not.
