"Any of those dead kids wearing pearl earrings?" "No." "Could be someone's missing, maybe." "That's what I'm thinking." "(Door closing)" "Just one more bag after that." "(Police siren )" "I just wanted to come here." " To Winkie's?" " This Winkie's." "OK." "Why this Winkie's?" "It's kind of embarrassing." "Go ahead." "I had a dream about this place." "Oh, boy." "See what I mean?" "OK." "So you had a dream about this place." "Tell me." "Well... (Clears throat)" "It's the second one I've had." "But they're both the same." "They start out that I'm in here but it's not day or night " "it's kind of half-night, you know?" "But it looks just like this." "Except for the light." "And I'm scared like I can't tell you." "Of all people, you're standing right over there," "by that counter." "You're in both dreams and you're scared." "I get even more frightened when I see how afraid you are and... then I realise what it is." "There's a man in back of this place." "He's the one who's doing it." "I can see him through the wall." "I can see his face." "I hope that I never see that face ever outside of a dream." "That's it." "So, you came to see if he's out there." "To get rid of this god-awful feeling." "Right, then."

"Thank you, Irene, I was so nervous, it was sure great to have you to talk to." "I'll watch for you on the big screen." "OK, Irene!" "Won't that be the day?" "Good luck, Betty, dear." "Take care of yourself." "And be careful!" " I will." " (Chuckles )" "Thanks again." "It was so nice meeting you." "All the luck in the world." "Thank you." " Bye." " Bye!" "My bags!" "Where to?"

"Just call me Coco, everybody else does." " I'll go and get the key." " OK, Coco!" "Wilkins?" "!" "Wilkins!" "If that damn dog craps in the courtyard one more time" "I'm gonna bake his little butt for breakfast!" " You don't have any pets, do you?" " Oh, no." "Well, they're allowed, I just don't like them." "There was a man that lived here once that had a prize-fighting kangaroo." "You just wouldn't believe what that kangaroo did to this courtyard." "Let's go see your aunt's apartment." "It's a good one." "I can hardly wait." "It's unbelievable!" "(Coco ) I told you." "(Betty ) Oh, wow!" "You and your aunt have an understanding, so here's the key." " If you need anything, just holler." " OK." "Everybody in this building is pretty much OK with me" " or they wouldn't be here." " Mm." "If you like, later on, I'll introduce you around."

"I'm sorry, I'll get out of here and we can talk later." "My name's..." "Rita." "Hi." " Do you work with my aunt?" " No." " I..." " I'm sorry, it's... it's none of my business." "She has pretty red hair." "She's letting me stay while she's working on a movie in Canada but I guess you already know that." "I couldn't afford a place like this in a million years." "Unless of course I'm discovered and become a movie star." "I'd rather be known as a great actress but sometimes people end up being both." "That is, I guess you'd say, sort of why I came here." "I'm sorry, I'm just so excited to be here." "I mean, I just came here from Deep River, Ontario and now I'm in this... dream place!" "Well, you can imagine how I feel." "Oh." "Sit down."

"I just need to lie down here and sleep." "You see, Adam, there are some suggestions that are to be brought forward." "I know you said you would entertain suggestions and that's all anybody here is asking you to do." "What are you talking about?" "An open mind." "You're in the process of recasting your lead actress and I'm..." "We're asking you to keep an open mind." "What was it last time?" "OK, let's try the next one." "He's not gonna like it." "We'll see." "(Door opens )" "(Laughs nervously) The Castigliane brothers." "Let me introduce you around." "Oh, please..." "Er, just take a seat."

" Nothing." "Er...what's the photo for?" "(Darby ) One espresso." "No, that's it." "I think you're going to enjoy your espresso this time." "I've done research, knowing how hard you are to please." "This one comes highly recommended." "What's the photo for?" "It's a recommendation." "(Older man ) 'A recommendation to you, Adam.'" " It's not a recommendation." " This is the girl." "What girl?" "For what?" "What is this, Ray?" "Uh, we'd be happy to put her up for consideration." "You'll be pleased to know that there's quite a bit of interest in this role." "Interest?" "No, no." "Six of the top actresses want this." "This is the girl." " Ray, take care of this." " Hold on, Adam." "Hold on?" "There's no way." "There's no way!" "Pardon me?" "A napkin." "Of course." "Excuse me." "Is that all, sir?" "(Door closes )" " (Coffee man ) Shit." " That was a highly recommended..." " One of the finest espressos!" " What is going on?" " That girl is not in my movie."

"Betty's a young actress and I was just delivering a fax of a scene for a big audition tomorrow." " Well, here they are, honey." " Thank you." "Come along, Louise, I'll take you home." "I'm sorry, it happens sometimes." "No." "No, she said it was someone else who was in trouble." "Stop it, Louise, I'm taking you home." "Come on." " Good night, Betty." " Good night." "Good night."

"No problem." "What's on your mind?" "Well, now, here's a man who wants to get right down to it." "Kinda anxious to get to it, are ya?" "Whatever." "A man's attitude..." "A man's attitude goes some ways to the way his life will be." "Is that somethin' you might agree with?" "Sure." "Now, did you answer because that's what you thought I wanted to hear or did you think about what I said and answer because you truly believe that to be right?" "I agree with what you said." "Truly." "What did I say?" "That a man's attitude determines to a large extent how his life will be." "So since you agree, you must be a person who does not... care about the good life." "How's that?" "Well, stop for a little second and think about it." "Can you do that for me?" "(Chuckles )" "OK." "I'm thinking." "No, you're not thinking." "You're too busy being a smart aleck to be thinking." "Now, I want you to think and stop being a smart aleck." "Can you try that for me?" "Look, where's this going?" "Or what do you want me to do?" "There's sometimes a buggy." "How many drivers does a buggy have?" "One." "So let's just say I'm drivin' this buggy and, if you fix your attitude, you can ride along with me." "OK." "I want you to go back to work tomorrow." "You were recasting the lead actress anyway." "Audition many girls for the part." "When you see the girl that was shown to you earlier today, you will say," ""This is the girl."" "The rest of the cast can stay, that's up to you." "But that lead girl is not up to you." "Now, you will see me one more time if you do good." "You will see me two more times if you do bad." "Good night." "You're still here?" "I came back." "I thought that's what you wanted." "Nobody wants you here." "Really?" "My parents are right upstairs, they think you've left." " So?" "Surprise." " I can call them." "I can call my dad." "But you won't." "If you're trying to blackmail me, it's not gonna work." " You're playing a dangerous game." " You know what I want." "Get out." "Get out before I call my dad." "He trusts you, you're his best friend." "This will be the end of everything." "What about you?" "What will your dad think about you?" "Stop!" "Just stop it!" "That's what you said from the beginning." "If I tell what happened, they'll arrest you and put you in jail, so get out of here before..." "Bef..." "Before what?" "Before..." "I kill you." "Then they'd put you in jail." "(Laughs )" "Then I cry and cry and cry and then I say with big emotion, "I hate you!" "I hate us both!"" "(Both giggle )" " Such a lame scene." " Oh, but you are really good." "(Thespian accent) Thank you, darling." "Hi, there." "Who are you?" "Uh..." "Betty?" "Uh, Betty, can I see you outside for a minute?" "What is it, Coco?" "Your aunt called." "I was afraid of that." "She wants to know who's staying in her apartment." "It's just for a night or two, until she finds her own place." "I tried to explain to Aunt Ruth but the connection was bad and she got it all mixed up." "I kept saying it was my friend Rita and she said she didn't know a Rita!" " Look at me straight, sweetie." " Coco, she's very nice." "Honey, you're a good kid but what you're telling me is a load of horse pucky, even though it comes from a good place." "Now, I'm gonna trust you to sort this thing out." " Thank you." " Don't make me out to be a sucker." "Louise Bonner said there's trouble in there." "Remember last night?" "Well, sometimes she's wrong but if there is trouble, get rid of it." "Is everything all right?" "Is it bad for you that I'm here?" "No, no, everything is A-OK." "Now, I've gotta fix that sandwich." "And my audition is in one hour!" "(Betty giggles )" "I hope I'm back in a couple of hours." " And don't drink all the Coke." " Good luck!" "When I get back I'll keep the cab waiting so be ready to go." " OK." " OK." "(Man chuckles )" "Voilà." "Betty Elms," "I would like you to meet Jack Tutland, my assistant." "Woody Katz, who is playing Chuck and will do the scene with you." "Bob Brooker, our director." "And Julie Chadwick." "Now, our surprise guest," "Linney James." "Alas, we can't afford her to cast our show but, well, as casting agents go, she is the best." "Why, thank you, Wally." "Hello, Betty." "Very pleased to meet you." "This is my assistant, Nicki." "Oh, and the ever lovely Martha." "Martha Johnson, whom you met at the front." " Hi." " (Man laughs )" "So...shall we give it a go?" "Would you like a water or coffee before we begin?" "No, I'm fine." "Well, then, let's everyone take a seat." "(He chuckles )" "Betty, why don't you join Woody over there and we'll play the scene?" "Bob, do you have anything you wish to say?" "Something to Betty before we begin?" "No." "It's not a contest." "The two of them, with themselves." "So don't play it for real... until it gets real." "OK." "Just tell me where it hurts, baby." " What?" " (Chuckles )" "Hey, Bobby, I wanna play this close, like we did with that other girl, the one with the black hair." " It felt good, what do you think?" " That's good." "Just don't rush that line again." "I told you, the line when you say, "Before what?"" "Bobby, acting is reacting." "I just play off 'em." "They all say...um, uh..." ""They're gonna arrest you," like that. "Then they'll put you in jail."" "They all say it the same way, so I just react." " What's your name?" " Betty." "Betty, you don't rush it, I don't rush it." "OK?" "Now, we're gonna play this nice and close." "Just like in the movies, OK?" "Dad's best friend goes to work." "Bob?" "And... action." "You're still here." "I came back." "I thought that's what you wanted." " Nobody wants you here." " Really?" "My parents are right upstairs." " They think you've left." " So surprise!" "I can call them." "I can call my dad." "But you won't." "You're playing a dangerous game here." "If you're trying to blackmail me, it's not gonna work." "You know what I want." "It's not that difficult." "Get out." "Get out before I call my dad." "He trusts you." "You're his... best friend." "This will be the end of everything." "What about you?" "What'll your dad think about you?" "Stop." "Stop it." "That's what you said from the beginning." "If I tell them what happened they'll arrest you and put you in jail." "So get out of here." "Before..." "Before what?" "Before..." "I kill you." "Well, then they'd put you in jail." "I hate you." "I hate us both." " I'm gonna take her over there." " Yeah, big time." "Well, there it was." "Yeah, there it was all right." "Baby, you got a way with you." "Really." "Bob?" "Very good." "Really." "I mean, it was forced, maybe, but... still humanistic." "Yeah." "(Bob ) Very good." "Really." "Really." "Oh, I thank you, Betty." "I really mean that sincerely." "I mean, it was...extraordinary." "You've done your aunt proud today." "I am going to tell her that first chance I get." "Now, you and I are going to speak again very soon." "(Betty ) Thank you, Mr Brown." "Thank you, Wally." "I'm sure you all have a lot to talk about." " We'll walk Betty out." " Oh, well, yes, indeed." "And it was our pleasure, Linney." "Now, don't you be a stranger around here." "We love to have you here." " Come on, Betty." " Thank you again, Mr Brown." "And it was nice meeting...all of you." "Bye." "Bye." "(Laughs excitedly)" "It's a slam dunk!" "Where the hell'd you find her?" "God, that was awful!" "Not you, Betty, you were stellar, I mean that." "But poor Wally, he'll never get that picture made." " (Nicki) No." " His days were up 20 years ago." "Woody Katz is only doing it for a favour, and the cast, I hear, so far is terrible." "Oh, God, terrible!" "That poor old fool, Wally." "He was very nice and he seemed so sweet." "And Wally..." "Mr Brown is a very close friend of my aunt so..." "Come on, Betty, don't get me wrong, I love Wally." "I ought to, I was married to him for ten years!" "And I love actors, all actors." "We just get a little catty sometimes."
