part 5 The Pricks
The way in which the people get others to move out of the way is their way of showing superiority. The limp wrist and bent elbow shows a lack of respect towards the other person. The fingers are firmly limp. The touch is subtle, yet strong with little contact. This lack of contact tells a person that they are scum and should move out of the way of the more important people.
part 6 The Tourists
A man finds a group of Japanese tourists and latches on. He begins swaying to the music behind the one he picked, holding her hands in front of her. Now that he has caught his prey he begins swaying backward all the while keeping the group entertained. His destination, the bathroom, and nothing could get in his way. Continuing to move his backwards dance he finds someone who will not move. Instead of dancing around the barrier, he keeps dancing into it. Still they will not move. He presses on like a stubborn force until finally he succeeds.
part 7 The End
The night drags on but nobody wants to leave. The beat of the music blends together with the rhythmic sea of people. In that sea is a small drowning orange ember of a cigarette. This is seen by a man across the room and jealousy strikes. He pulls out his own smoke and lights up. Soon the orange glow was everywhere, like fireflies in the darkened room, flashing as silhouettes blocked the small light.
