I love this number especially because this was one of the few times for a film that Fred and Ginger tap danced on a wooden floor. They enjoyed the experience much more because their tap sounds were louder and more rhythmic with the music, the way they are when practicing in the studio.

You can hear them laughing over the music at points! I love to hear them having fun while dancing together because it does look so fun!

- Did you know that when I was an honorary scholar I achieved the highest results in our final examination, but, because I was a woman, I was denied a doctorate by the Magisterium? I’ve written plenty of papers, but they’re only published if I agree to let a man take the credit. 

Do you know who I could’ve been in this world? /

- What would you like to hear? That I was the first woman in my world to sit at a table with high clerics and scholars? That my experimentation with Dust is equal to that of Asriel’s? Ask him.
