HARRIET:
I’ve been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Sooner or later, the fever ends
And i wind up feeling down
I need a man who’ll take a chance
Who is willing to come on up and dance
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls

Oh! I wanna dance with somebody

Yeah, I’m gonna circle the room
and find someone! Don't move!

Starts playing with
The syncopated rhythm

PHILIP: (spoken)
Please no—
EMMA: (spoken)
I need your help. Ordinarily,
I’d pick anybody else, but since Ashley’s onstage,
living la vida loca, you have no one to dance with.
So I think you should ask Harriet.
PHILIP: (spoken)
Look, Emma, I just don’t think
that would be good for my campaign.
At this stage of the race,
I gotta keep my priorities straight.
Besides, it looks like she’s already dancing with Jeff.
EMMA: (spoken)
What?
PHILIP: (spoken)
Sorry, “Mr. Knightley.”
