    Why yes, yes I will.

    Did you guys debate the offer language? Getting paid feels kinda wrong but I'll totally let you tip for me.

    We are paying you to get a drink. It's actually a service you are providing to us, as we like to see people drink, and this is how we fulfill our fetish.

    Maybe we can get a few drinks ahead of you so that we'll be fascinated by your tales from the classroom.

    "Then I read the syllabus out loud to them, which took 15 minutes! Then I asked each of them what city they were from!!!!! Then I said LATE PAPERS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!"

    I think I will do this! I have ballet later that evening so I shouldn't have more than one. Drunk ballet seems really hard.

    there is a WONDERFUL drunk ballet scene in the 1977 film "The Turning Point."

    Shirley MacLaine and Anne Bancroft were young prima ballerinas at a fancy ballet company, but Shirley quit dancing in order to have babies, while Anne chose career over family and became world-famous. Then the troupe comes to Shirley's little town to do some master classes, and it turns out Shirley's daughter is a ballet genius, and is asked to join the troupe. Her mother's old troupe!!! Joy and jealousy and fear and regret and pride all wrapped up in one explosive package! So it's like Shirley has been secretly jealous for 20 years of Anne's career, while Anne has been secretly jealous of Shirley's family. Now Anne is stealing Shirley's daughter, making the daughter into what the mother could have been! Plus Barishnikov is in this movie!!

    It's a great movie (Tom Skerrit plays a ballerina, I will just tell you), but there is this one amazing scene where the daughter (played by an actual prima ballerina, thus her acting is REALLY WEIRD) has just found out something disturbing, so she goes to a bar and pretends to be Russian and gets boys to buy her drinks, and she gets DRUNK, even though it's the night of her first performance with the troupe!!! She shows up late, super wasted, and everyone's panicking, getting her into her tutu and everything. She's just in the corps, not doing any kind of lead role, so they figure she can kind of muddle through it. There's a whole long scene of her onstage, blissfully going the wrong direction, getting grabbed by other dancers and sort of propped up as they're all trying to move in synch, suddenly spinning offstage and puking into a bucket and then going right back onstage, etc.

    VERY GOOD. Unfortunately could not find on Youtube but here is the trailer:
