[00:00.739]I'm so excited because I'm gonna go to the High School of Performing Arts!
[00:04.424]I mean, I was dying to be a serious actress.
[00:07.963]Anyway, it's the first day acting class and we're in the auditorium
[00:11.251]And the teacher, Mr. Karp, puts us up on the stage with our legs around everybody,
[00:15.081]One in back of the other and he says:
[00:17.153]"Okay... we're going to do improvisations.
[00:20.265]Now, you're on a bobsled, and it's snowing out.
[00:24.072]And it's cold... Okay... GO!"
[00:35.218]Every day for a week we would try to
[00:37.846]Feel the motion, feel the motion
[00:43.466]Down the hill
[00:46.066]Every day for a week we would try to
[00:48.923]Hear the wind rush, hear the wind rush
[00:54.598]Feel the chill
[00:56.866]And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
[00:59.819]To see what I had inside
[01:02.606]Yes, I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
[01:05.751]And I tried, I tried
[01:10.239]And everybody's goin' "Whooooosh, whooooosh ...
[01:13.923]I feel the snow... I feel the cold... I feel the air."
[01:17.634]And Mr. Karp turns to me and he says,
[01:20.215]"Okay, Morales. What did you feel?"
[01:27.405]And I said... "Nothing,
[01:30.018]I'm feeling nothing"
[01:32.691]And he says "Nothing could get a girl transferred."
[01:38.468]They all felt something
[01:41.316]But I felt nothing
[01:43.854]Except the feeling that this nonsense was absurd!
[01:48.882]But I said to myself, "Hey, it's only the first week.
[01:52.018]Maybe it's genetic. They don't have bobsleds in San Juan!"
[01:56.095]Second week, more advanced, and we had to
[01:58.944]Be a table, be a sportscar
[02:04.551]Ice-cream cone
[02:07.333]Mr. Karp, he would say,"Very good,
[02:09.864]Except Morales. Try, Morales,
[02:15.736]All alone."
[02:18.328]And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
[02:21.336]To see how an ice cream felt
[02:24.123]Yes, I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
[02:27.645]And I tried to melt
[02:32.066]The kids yelled, "Nothing!"
[02:34.644]They called me "Nothing"
[02:37.414]And Karp allowed it
[02:39.558]Which really makes me burn
[02:43.351]They were so helpful
[02:46.207]They called me "Hopeless"
[02:48.726]Until I really didn't know
[02:51.887]Where else to turn
[02:53.947]And Karp kept saying,
[02:55.029]"Morales, I think you ought to transfer to Girl's High.
[02:58.528]You'll never be an actress, Never!"
[03:01.305]Jesus Christ!
[03:03.981]Went to church, praying, "Santa Maria,
[03:06.678]Send me guidance, send me guidance."
[03:12.318]On my knees
[03:15.370]Went to church, praying, "Santa Maria,
[03:18.106]Help me feel it, help me feel it.
[03:24.262]Pretty please!"
[03:26.686]And a voice from down at the bottom of my soul
[03:29.491]Came up to the top of my head
[03:32.151]And the voice from down at the bottom of my soul
[03:35.616]Here is what it said:
[03:40.132]"This man is nothing!
[03:42.747]This course is nothing!
[03:45.547]If you want something,
[03:47.835]Go find a better class.
[03:51.234]And when you find one
[03:54.130]You'll be an actress."
[03:57.090]And I assure you that's what
[03:59.528]Finally came to pass
[04:04.926]Six months later I heard that Karp had died
[04:14.110]And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
[04:20.898]And cried
[04:29.965]'Cause I felt... nothing
