"Oh, come on!" "What...?" "Ahh!" "Please stop sneaking into my home." "You think Mom or Dad would call this a home?" "What are you doing?" "Please don't do that." "Please don't sit on that." "Are you kidding?" "Please don't sit on that." "Don't sit on that." "Don't sit on that." " Hoagy Carmichael sat on that!" " Oh, my God!" "The Baked Potato just threw it away." "I can't imagine why." "And now you're just sitting on it." "I got you a throw rug." "I don't need that." "What if I said Miles Davis pissed on it?" "It's almost insulting." "Is it true?" "When are you gonna unpack these boxes?" "When I unpack them in my own club." "Oh, Sebastian." "It's like a girl broke up with you and you're stalking her." "You're not still going by there, are you?" "That's..." "You won't believe that they turned it into a samba-tapas place." "Oh, my God, Sebastian!" "Samba." "Tapas." "Pick one, you know?" "Do one right." "I have someone I want you to meet." " I don't wanna meet anyone." " Yeah." "No, no, I don't wanna meet anyone." "Dad gave you this?" " Yes." " You'll like her." "I don't think I'm gonna like her." " Does she like jazz?" " Probably not." "Then what are we gonna talk about?" "I don't know!" "It doesn't matter." "Okay?" "Because you're living like a hermit." "You're driving without insurance!" " It doesn't matter?" " Yeah, it doesn't matter." " Okay." " You need to get serious." "Well, I know a guy with" " a face tattoo that you should see." " Okay, low blow." " With a heart of gold." " Get serious!" ""Get serious"?" "Laura..." "I had a very serious plan for my future." "I know." "It's not my fault I got shanghaied." "You didn't get shanghaied." "You got ripped off!" "What's the difference?" "I don't know." "It's not as romantic as that." "Don't sit..." "Everybody knew that guy was shady except for you." "Why do you say "romantic" like it's a dirty word?" "Unpaid bills are not romantic." "Call her." "I'm not gonna call her." "And the thing is..." "You're acting like life's got me on the ropes." "I want to be on the ropes." "Okay?" "I'm just..." "I'm letting life hit me 'til it gets tired." " Oh?" " Then I'm gonna hit back." "It's a classic rope-a-dope." "Okay, Ali." "I love you." "Unpack the boxes." "I'm gonna change the locks." "You can't afford it." "I'm a phoenix, rising from the ashes." "Hey." "Bill." "Thanks for having me back." "You're welcome." "Want you to know you're looking at a new man." "A man that's happy to be here." "Good." "Excellent." "Very-easy-to-work-with man." "And you're going to play the set list?" "Happy to." "Even though I don't think anyone cares what I play, but, yeah..." "Well, if by "anyone,"" "you mean anyone other than me, that would be correct." "I care, and I don't wanna hear the free jazz." "Right." "Okay." "Although I thought in this town it worked on a sort of" ""one for you, one for me" type system." "How 'bout two for you, one for me?" "How 'bout all for you and none for me?" " That's perfect, yes." " Great." " Okay." " Mutual decision, then." "Right." "Made by me." "Right." "And I sign of on it, so..." "Whatever." "Tell yourself what you wanna know." "Well." "Welcome back." "There's a nice way to say that, Karen." "Seb." "I knew, I did hear what you're saying, but I don't think you're saying what you mean." "Yeah, I don't think you hear what I'm saying." "You're fired." "Well, that's what you're saying, but it's not what you mean." "What you mean is..." "You're fired." ""Play the set list."" " No, I'm saying it's too late." " It's a warning." "What planet are you from?" " Don't fire me, Bill." " You're done." " Don't fire me." " I'm sorry, Seb." "It's Christmas." "Yeah, I see the decorations." "Good luck in the New Year." "I just heard you play and I want to..." "I don't like the fissure on the GT scan." "Did you test for achromatopsia?" "DOA on 23rd." "Perp laughing his face off at the PD." "Damn Miranda rights." "This is my classroom." "You don't like it, the door's to my left." "Lady, why you be tripping like that?" "No, Jamal." "You be tripping." "Jump right here!"

"There's been a lot of buzz, people talking about me, which is exciting." "I mean, you work so hard, and then all that validation." " I'm gonna grab a drink." " Okay." "Nice to meet you."

"it's too far." "My lord!" "Did you just say "a serious musician"?" "I don't think so." "Can I borrow what you're wearing?" "Why?" "'Cause I have an audition next week." "I'm playing a "serious" firefighter." "So you're an actress." "I thought you looked familiar." "Have I seen you in anything?" "Uh..." "Coffee shop on the Warner Brothers lot." "That's a classic." " Oh, I see." " Yeah." "You're a barista." "And I could see how you could then look down on me from all the way up there." "Time for next set." "He doesn't..." "I don't..." "He doesn't tell me what to do." "He just told you what to do." "I know." "I let him." "What's your name?" " Mia." " Mia." "Guess I'll see you in the movies." "You heard of Joseph Campbell?" "Uh, yeah." "I have this idea to do a re-imagine of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears."" "But from the perspective of the bears." " The Hero's Journey." " It could be like a franchise." " Right." " So we don't know." "There could have been a fourth bear, we don't know." "George Michael!" "Hello." " Sorry." " Yeah, yeah." "I know that guy." "Did you get your keys?" "Mmm-hmm, yes." "Can you grab mine?" "Can I what?" "Would you be able to grab mine?" "My keys?" " I can't hear." " Sorry." "Can you grab my keys?" "Oh." " Please?" " Oh, there we go." " Thank you." " You're welcome." " What kind?" " It's a Prius." "Wait a minute." "That doesn't help me." "With a green ribbon." "All right." "Those look, uh, comfortable." "They are." "Thank you for saving the day back there." "Well, you didn't really give me much of a choice." "It's pretty strange that we keep running into each other." "It is strange." "Maybe it means something." " I doubt it." " Yeah, I don't think so." "Where's my car?" "You gotta put that thing to your chin." " This?" " Yeah." "It makes your head into" " an antenna, so..." " Ooh." "I think it gives you cancer, but you find your car faster." "What?" "You don't live as long, but you get where you're going quicker, so it all evens out." "That sounds terrible." " Just a suggestion." " Uhh..." "You're a real, um..." "What's the word I'm looking for?" ""Knight in shining armor"?" "Weirdo." " That was the word." " Okay." "Not much to look at, huh?"

"This is gluten-free, right?" "No." " What?" " Mmm-mmm." "Ugh!" "I'd like a refund." "Okay." "Let me check on that for you." "Mia..." " Hi." " You're closing Friday." "I can't close on Friday." "I have an audition." "Remember?" "Do I look like I care?" "Reschedule it." "Oh, and we need to have a little talk tomorrow, okay?" "Fix your apron, please." "Okay." "You again!" "What are you doing here?" "Oh, you know, just meetings and..." "studio heads and..." "How'd you get on the lot?" "I basically just hauled ass past the guard gates." "I think I have 20 minutes until they find me." "You don't have a break coming up, do you?" "I'm off in 10 minutes." "Can I hide in the bathroom?" " Yes." " Okay." "Sorry." "Um..." "I actually do have to check." "I'm sorry." "That's the window that" "Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman looked out of in Casablanca." " Wow!" " Yeah." "I can't believe you work right across the street from that." " Yeah." " That's amazing." "What was your Bogart's name?" "What's his name?" "Is it Greg?" "Yeah." "Greg." "Right." "How long have you been..." "We've been seeing each other for about a month." "Oh, that's great." "He's, um..." "He's sweet." "Anyway, I love being around this stuff, you know?" "I know what you mean." "I get coffee 5 miles out of the way, just so I can be near a jazz club." " Really?" " Yeah, the Van Beek." " Do you know it?" " Mmm-mmm." "All the big swing bands used to play there." "Count Basie, Chick Webb." "Anyway, it's a samba-tapas place now, so..." "What's a samba-tapas place?" "It's just a samba place where they serve tapas." " Oh." " Yeah, so the joke's on..." "History?" "I don't know." "That's LA." "They just worship everything and they value you nothing." "We're about to roll." "Stop, please, guys." "Okay." " You're rolling?" " Yeah." "Yeah, I know." "They shoot movies on my street all the time, so I know about movies." " Come this way." " Great." "It's a lock-down." " I love her!" " And here we go." "Hey!" "How'd you get into all this?" "And roll!" " Get into what?" " Sound speed!" "You know, movies, acting..." " Action!" " Oh, um..." "My aunt was an actress." "Oh, okay." "She was in a traveling theater company." "I grew up in Boulder City, Nevada." "So across the street from my house there was this little library that had an old movie section." "So she took me and we spent an entire day watching all these old movies like Notorious and Bringing Up Baby, and Casablanca." " And..." " Cut it there!" "Cut!" " Check the gate." " So we can talk now." " She sounds incredible." " She was incredible." "And I would put on all these plays in my bedroom, and it would basically just be she and I re-enacting those scenes from the movies." "And then I would write my own plays." " Wow." " Um..." "Yeah." "I love it." "So anyway, I left college after two years to come here and my last audition was for a teen show pitched as..." ""Dangerous Minds meets The O.C."" "So, yeah, should've been a lawyer." "'Cause the world needs more lawyers." "It doesn't need more actresses." "You're not just an actress." "What do you mean "just an actress"?" "You said it yourself." "You're a child prodigy playwright." "That is not what I said." "Well, you're too modest to say it, but it's true." "You could just write your own roles, you know?" "Write something that's as interesting as you are, and you don't have to audition for this..." " Yeah." " Uh, pissy ca-ca." "Look at Louis Armstrong." "He could've just played the marching band charts that he was given." " But he didn't do that." " What did he do?" "What did he do?" "He made history, didn't he?" "Well, I'm gonna stop auditioning and I'm gonna make history instead." "Well, my work is done here." "I should probably tell you something now, just to get it out of the way." " Mmm-hmm?" " I hate jazz." "Are you okay?" "What do you mean you hate jazz?" "It just means that when I listen to it, I don't like it." "Yeah, but it's such a blanket statement, you don't like jazz." "What are you doing right now?" "Nothing." "I just think that people, when they say that they, you know, hate jazz..." "They just..." "They don't have context, they don't know where it comes from." "Jazz was born in a little flophouse in New Orleans, and it's just because people were crammed in there, they spoke five different languages, they couldn't talk to each other." "The only way they could communicate was with jazz." "Yeah, but what about Kenny G?" " What?" " What about Kenny G?" "I mean, what about elevator music?" "You know, jazz music that I know?" " What about it?" " From my life?" " Mmm-hmm?" " I just find it relaxing." "It's not relaxing." "It's not." "It's not." "Sidney Bechet shot somebody because they told him he played a wrong note." "That's hardly relaxing." "Yeah, but where I grew up there was this station called KJAZZ-103." "And people would just put on that station when they had a cocktail party." "Right." "And everyone would kinda just talk over it." "I know." " 'Cause it was..." " That's the prob..." "Okay, okay." "So I think that's part of the problem, is that you can't hear it, you know?" "You have to see it." "You have to see what's at stake." "I mean, look at these fellas." "Look at the sax player right now." "He just hijacked the song." "He's on his own trip." "Every one of these guys is composing, they're rearranging, they're writing." "Then they're playing the melody." "They're just..." "And now look, the trumpet player." "He's got his own idea." "And so, it's conflict and it's compromise, and it's just..." "It's new every time." "It's brand-new every night." "It's very, very exciting." "And it's dying." "It's dying, Mia." "It's dying on the vine." "And the world says, "Let it die." "It had its time."" "Well, not on my watch." "What are you gonna do?" "I'm gonna have my own club." " Really?" " Yes." "We're gonna play whatever we want, whenever we want, however we want, as long as it's pure jazz." "Hi, this is Mia Dolan." "Yeah, I just missed a call." "I got a callback!" "What?" "Come on!" "For what?" "For a TV show." "The one I was telling you about earlier." "The "Dangerous Minds meets The O.C."?" "Yeah." "Congratulations!" " That's incredible!" " It's really exciting." "I feel like I said negative stuff about it before." "What?" "It's like Rebel Without A Cause, sort of." ""I got the bullets!"" "Yes." " You've never seen it!" " I've never seen it." "Oh, my!" "You know, it's playing at the Rialto." " Really?" " Yes." "You should go..." "I mean, I can take you." "Okay." " You know, for research." " For research." " Yeah." " Yeah." "Okay." "Um, Monday night, 10:00 o'clock." " Yeah." "Great." " Okay." "For research." "♪ City of Stars ♪" "♪ Are you shining just for me?"

"And they're either too hot or too cold." "I know." "The quality's really fallen off." "The quality's terrible." "And there's always people talking." "'Cause of all of the people seeing the movie."

"I don't even know." "I can't keep track of it, but honestly it was life-changing." " Really?" " Yeah." "It affected me." " It was incredible." " Is it amazing?" " Yes." " A 5-star jungle eco-resort" " you would not believe." " Amazing." "We were thinking about Nicaragua, the thing about Nicaragua is it's less developed." "It's a little under-developed." " You know..." " Right." "I think there's a little more..." "Yeah, then, I just don't know if it's safe." " Yeah, yeah." "It's..." " I don't know if it's safe." "Yeah, you don't want to explore too far." "Kind of a "natives are restless" sort of thing." "Actually, China's going to build a Panama Canal." "I'm sorry." "The immensity of our universe." "For many days before the end of our Earth, people will look into the night sky and notice a star" "increasingly bright and increasingly near." "As this star approaches us..." "Jim Stark." "I'll go find a place." "I'm sorry." "As this star approaches us, the weather will change." "The great polar fields of the North and South will rot and divide, and the seas will turn warm." "The last of us search the heavens and stand amazed, for the stars will still be there and will be..." "Mmm..." "I have an idea." "What is that?" "Is it a script?" "It's a play." "A play?" "You better give us all roles!" "Actually, it's a one-woman show!" "So I can't." "Wow." "Is that gonna happen every time?" "I think so." "Ahh!" "It's one-way!" " I love you." " I love you, too."

"We're looking for keys." " Are you kidding me?" " No, I'm not kidding you." " No, I'm good." " Are you sure?" "It pays." "I'm good." "Let's just grab a drink then." "It's been too long." "Okay." "Nice to meet you, Mia." "Nice to meet you." ""The End."" "Genius." " Really?" " Yes." " Really?" " Yes." "It feels really nostalgic to me." " Is it too nostalgic?" " That's the point." "Are people gonna like it?" "Fuck 'em." "You always say that." "Well, I truly believe it." "I made you something." "For what?" "For your club." "Why does it say "Seb's"?" "'Cause I think you should call it "Seb's."" "What?" "'Cause no one's gonna come to "Chicken On A Stick."" "Is that a music note as an apostrophe?" " Yes!" " That's pretty cool." "Yeah." "It's gotta be "Chicken On A Stick."" "Because Charlie Parker got his nickname..." "I know, because he loved chicken." "That's why they called him "Bird."" "So I'm gonna have chicken, beer, jazz..." ""Chicken On A Stick."" "I know." "You should drop the chicken and just have drinks and jazz, and also their..." "I'm not dropping the chicken." "You could maybe do it somewhere else." " What are you talk..." " Find a new spot." "It's gotta be the Van Beek." "Well, it doesn't have to be the Van Beek." "I can't let them samba all over its history." "I can't do it." "You can let them, but you refuse to." "Your play's incredible." "You know, the whole world from your bedroom." "What else do they want?" "Who's doing that?" " I'm doing that." " You're doing that." "Who was that guy at The Lighthouse?" "The guy that offered you the gig?" " Keith." " Yeah." "Why was it so weird between you two?" "It's always weird with him." " Really?" " Yeah." "But he seemed kinda nice 'cause he did offer you a job." "Are you gonna call him?" "No." "No." "All right." "So... here's what we know." "Yeah?" "It's definitely "Chicken On A Stick,"" "and your play is gonna be a triumph." "It's a one-woman show, so it's just me..." "No, I mean, I'm acting in it, too." "No, Mom." "I'm not getting paid." "I'm paying to do it." "He's great." "He's gonna open his own jazz club." "Yeah, it's gonna be incredible." "No, he hasn't, he hasn't opened it yet." "He needs some..." "He's saving up, I think." "No, he doesn't have a steady gig." "But he's figuring it out." "It's just been a little tricky lately." "Mom, he's gonna find a way to open it and you're gonna love it, okay?" "How's Dad?" "Sebastian." "Come on in, man." " Thanks for coming." " Thanks for having me." "Wasn't sure I'd see you today." " So... here's the deal." " Okay." "We got distribution with Universal." "We've got our own imprint." "About to go on the road." "Uh, we can pay you 1,000 bucks a week, plus a cut of the ticket revenue and merchandising." "Sound good?" " Sebastian?" " Yeah." "All right?" " Let's play." " Okay." "♪ Tonight ♪" "I know." "It's different." "But you say you wanna save jazz." "How you gonna save jazz if no one's listening?" "Jazz is dying because of people like you." "You're playing to 90-year-olds at The Lighthouse." "Where are the kids?" "Where are the young people?" "You're so obsessed with" "Kenny Clarke and Thelonious Monk." "These guys were revolutionaries." "How are you gonna be a revolutionary if you're such a traditionalist?" "You're holding onto the past, but jazz is about the future." "I know." "The other guy, he wasn't as good as you." "But you're a pain in the ass, man." "♪ City of Stars ♪" "♪ Are you shining just for me?"

"Gotta leave first thing in the morning, but I just had to see you..." "It's so nice to be home." "I'm so glad you're home." "How's the play going?" "Um..." "I'm nervous." " You are?" " Mmm-hmm." "Why?" "Because what if people show up?" "Pissy ca-ca." "You nervous about what they think?" "I'm nervous to do it." "I'm nervous to get up..." "On a stage and perform for people..." "I mean, I don't need to say that to you." " It's gonna be incredible." " You don't get it, but I'm terrified." "They should be so lucky to see it." "I can't wait." "I can." "When do you leave, the morning?" "Yeah. 6:45." " Ooh." " Boise." " Boy-he?" " Boyden." "To Boise!" "You should come." "To Boise?" "Yeah, you can knock that off your bucket list." "Oh, that would be..." "Really exciting, I wish I could." "What are you doing after the tour?" "Why can't you?" " Come to Boise?" " Yeah." "'Cause I have to rehearse." "But can't you rehearse anywhere?" "Anywhere you are?" "I mean, I guess." "Um..." "All my stuff is here, and it's in two weeks, so I don't really think that would be..." "Okay." " The best idea right now, but..." " Well..." "I wish I could." "We're just gonna have to try and see each other." "We never see each other." "I know, but when are you done?" "What do you mean?" "I mean..." "When are you finished with the whole tour?" "After we finish, we're gonna go and record, and then we go back on tour." "We tour so we can make the record, so we can go back and tour the record." "So it's like the long haul?" "What do you mean, "the long haul"?" "I mean the long haul." "Like you're gonna stay in this band for a long time." "On tour." "I mean, what did you think I was gonna do?" "I don't..." "I hadn't really thought it through." "I didn't know that the band..." "Was so important." "You didn't think it would be successful?" "Um..." "No, that's not really what I mean." "I just mean that you..." "I mean you're gonna be on tour for, what, months now?" "Years?" "Yeah." "I don't believe..." "This is it." "I mean, this is... it could easily be ever..." "I could be on tour with this for a couple of years, at least." "Just this record." "Do you like the music you're playing?" "I don't..." "I don't know what it matters." "Well, it matters, because if you're gonna give up your dream..." "I think it matters that you like..." "What you're playing on the road for years." "Do you like the music I'm playing?" "Yeah." "I do." "I just didn't think that you did." "Yeah, well..." "You always said Keith is the worst, and now you're gonna be on tour with him for years, so I just didn't..." " What are you doing right now?" " Know if you were happy." " Why are you doing this?" " I don't..." "What do you mean, why am I doing this?" "I thought you wanted me to do this." "It just sounds like now you don't want me to do it." "What do you mean, I wanted you to do this?" "This is what you wanted for me." "To be in this band?" "To be in a band." "To have a steady job, you know?" "To be... you know." "Of course I wanted you to have a steady job, so that you could take care of yourself and your life and you could start your club." "So I'm doing that." "So I don't understand." "Why aren't we celebrating?" "Why aren't you starting your club?" "You said yourself no one wants to go to that club." "No one wants to go to a club called "Chicken On A Stick."" "So change the name!" "Well, no one likes jazz!" "Not even you!" "I do like jazz now because of you!" "And this is what I thought you wanted me to do!" "What am I supposed to do?" "Go back to playing Jingle Bells?" "I'm not saying that." "I'm saying why don't you... take what you've made..." "Scraping pennies so I can start a club," " and start the club?" " No one wants to go to?" "People will want to go to it because you're passionate about it, and people love what other people are passionate about." "You remind people of what they forgot." "Not in my experience." "Well, whatever, all right?" "I mean it is..." "It's just time to grow up, you know?" "I have a steady job, this is what I'm doing." "And now all of a sudden if you had these problems," "I wish you would have said them earlier, before I signed on the goddamn dotted line!" "I'm pointing out that you had a dream that you followed, that you were sticking to..." "This is the dream!" "This is the dream." " This is not your dream!" " Guys like me work their whole lives to be in something that's successful, that people like." "You know?" "I mean, I'm finally in something... that people enjoy." " Since when do you care..." " Just 'cause I don't..." " about being liked?" " Enjoy it, it doesn't matter." "Why do you care so much about being liked?" "You're an actress!" "What are you talking about?" "Maybe you just liked me when I was on my ass, 'cause it made you feel better about yourself." " Are you kidding?" " No." "I don't know." "Okay, fellas." "I'll see ya tomorrow." " Sebastian?" " Yeah?" "You're good for tonight, right?" "What are you talking about?" "7:00, the photo shoot." "Mojo." "Are you good?" "I thought that was next Thursday." "No, it's tonight." "Is that okay?" " David, give me the other camera!" " What's wrong with that one?" ""What's wrong with that one?"" "It doesn't bloody work, that's what's wrong with it!" "All right, trumpet, that's lovely." "Lovely!" "Beautiful, beautiful!" "Okay, keyboard." "Okay, look up." "That's good." "That's good, that's lovely." "Lovely." "Okay, cut the music!" "That is lovely." "That's lovely." "Okay, now bite your lip like this, sort of like..." "Like you're concentrating on something, I don't know, like a piece of your music." "Bite my what?" "Your lip." "Bite your lip, you know..." "Okay." "Yeah, that's good." "That's great." "Beautiful!" "Beautiful." "Okay, now just move your glasses down on... onto the nose..." "A little bit further, just a little bit, a touch further." "Keep your head down, but look up at me." "Look sort of moody." "Yeah!" "That's beautiful!" "That is great!" "Okay, turn the keyboard on live!" "Do you wanna hear the keyboard then?" "You don't have to bite your lip now." "Well, actually play something." "Play something." "You know?" "Anything." "You're a pianist, aren't you?" "Play something." "That's great, that's beautiful." "That's lovely." "Oh, that's good." "No, don't stop." "Keep playing." "Go on, just keep playing." "That was great!" "Shoot myself in the head." "She's not even good." "That whole window thing..." "Yeah, what was that shit with the window?" "Oh, my God!" "Don't quit your day job." "Oh, well..." "Not good." "One-woman shows are always terrible." "Mia!" "Mia." "I'm so sorry." "Just tell me how it went." "How was it?" " Don't help me." " I'm sorry." "I'm sorry I've been such a prick." " You're sorry, you're sorry..." " I sorry for being a curt." "You're sorry." "I'm gonna make it up to you." "Let me make it up to you, okay?" "I don't blame you for not wanting..." "It's over." " What is?" " It's over." "What?" "All of this." "I'm done embarrassing myself." "I'm done." "I'm done." " Nobody showed up." " So what?" "So what?" "I can't pay back the theater." "This is so..." "I'm gonna go home for a while." "I'll come see you tomorrow." "No, I'm going "home" home." "This is home." "No, it's not anymore." "Yep?" "Hi, I'm trying to reach Mia Dolan?" "Wrong number." "She's not answering her cell." "I was told I might find her here." "Not anymore." "Okay, well..." " If you do talk to her..." " I won't." "Could you tell her Jane at Amy Brandt Casting is trying to reach her?" "Casting?" "Who the hell is that?" "Shut that thing off!" "Why did you come here?" "Because I have good news." "What?" "Amy Brandt, the Casting Director..." " Yeah." " She was at your play, and she loved it." "And she loved it so much that she wants you to come in tomorrow and audition for this huge movie that she's got." "I'm not going to that." " I'm not going to that." " What?" "That one's gonna be..." "No." "That one's gonna be..." "I'm sorry?" "That will kill me." " What?" " What?" "What?" "Shh!" "Stop!" "No!" "You have to be quiet." " If you want..." " We're in a neighborhood." "Then you have to make sense, if you want me to be quiet, you have to make some goddamn sense!" " Tell me why you're not going." " They'll call the police." " Because..." " Why?" "I've been to a million auditions, and the same thing happens every time where I get interrupted because someone wants to get a sandwich!" "Or I'm crying, and they start laughing!" "Or there's people sitting in the waiting room, and they're like me but prettier and better at the..." "Because maybe I'm not good enough!" " Yes, you are." " No..." " No, maybe I'm not." " Yes, you are." " Maybe I'm not." " You are." "Maybe I'm one of those people that has always wanted to do it, but it's like a pipe dream for me." "You know?" "And then, you said it, you change your dreams, and then you grow up." "Maybe I'm one of those people, and I'm not supposed to." "And I can go back to school, and I can find something else I'm supposed to do." "'Cause I left to do that, and it's been six years, and I don't want to do it anymore." "Why?" "Why what?" "Why don't you want to do it anymore?" "'Cause I think it hurts a little bit too much." "You're a baby." "I'm not a baby." "I'm trying to grow up." "You are." " You're crying like a baby." " Oh, my God." "You have an audition tomorrow at 5:30." "I'll be out front at 8:00 a.m." "You'll be out front or not, I don't know." "How'd you find me here?" "The house in front of the library." " I got coffee." " Okay, great." "Mia?" "Hi, Mia." "I'm Amy and this is Frank." "Hi." "How are ya?" "Nice to meet you." "Glad we found you." "Me, too." "The film shoots in Paris, and we don't have a script." "It's gonna be a process." "We're gonna build the character around the actress." "It's a 3-month rehearsal and a 4-month shoot." "Okay." "And we thought that you could just tell us a story." "About?" "You can just tell us anything." "Anything?" "Yeah, just tell us a story." "You're a storyteller." "Um..." "Whenever you're ready." "My aunt used to live in Paris." "I remember she used to come home and she would tell us these stories about being abroad, and..." "I remember, she told us that she jumped into the river... once."
