"JB, you have to come hang with me." "This party is so boring." " You're so good out there." " I screwed up my cross." "And I missed a cue in reach for me."

"This isn't about the Tonys anyway." "This is about old friends getting together for a wonderful celebration." " Take care, Lindsay." " Bye." "Bye, thanks." "This is all about the Tonys." "You don't say." " Where's Julia?" " Hit List." "Jimmy and Derek asked her to help out with the transfer." "Aren't you a little concerned that people will start to wonder what's going on with you and Julia?" "I promise you, only a couple friends know." "Good." "Because with the Tonys, it's not just about a great performance, it's about a great story." "And your story is that your incredible partnership is overdue." "Let's call it what it is..." "An injustice." "And tomorrow's our last opportunity to show everyone what you and Julia have accomplished." "We'll both be there." "Bombshell's counting on you." "Ivy." " Karen." " Hi." "I guess this was bound to happen sooner or later?" "Yeah." "Hey, congratulations, by the way." "Thanks, yeah." "Where you headed?" "Table 46." "You?" "Yeah, I'm going to table 46." "So how's Broadway treating you?" "Is it everything that you'd hoped it would be?" "It all happened so fast," "I haven't had a chance to process it." "But I definitely still get chills at the curtain call." "Hey, things are probably gonna get a little crazy around award season." "And can we just promise, whatever happens, that we're gonna be adults about it?" "Yes." "You have my word." "Great." " Hi." " Hey." "Hi." "We've got tables to bus, if you're feeling nostalgic." "All right." "Something's not working." "I can't put my finger on it." "Well, we're sold out till next January." "I don't care how many tickets we've sold." "I need the show to be perfect by the time we open." "There's time." "You're still in previews." "And the Tony nominators are coming soon." "Now he wants a Tony." "Not for me, for Kyle." "Yeah, well, if something feels off to you, it's probably just 'cause it's a bigger space." "Maybe it's the new sets." "I agree." "The energy has slowed down a bit, but it's not the sets." "There's a casting issue?" "Sam's the only principal who's new." "What about her?" "Gotta admit she's been having trouble." "She used to spinning 8 feet in the air, now it's 30." "I mean, give her a chance to adjust." "Look, if the diva doesn't work, the show doesn't work." "And don't flip out, but I think it might be the book." "And I know you're protective of Kyle's work..." "We're not touching the book." "Okay." "Look." "There's mom with her new family." "Hi, everybody." "Julia, can we borrow you?" "Sure." "I'll just be a minute." "How's the concert going?" "Eileen's worried we're not spending enough time together." "Because you're spending all your time with the competition." " So I had a thought." " You're gonna love this." "I was hoping that you and Tom would sing a song at the concert." "No, no, no." "No, no, no." " I don't sing." " You owe me this, Julia." "I..., trust me, I am not doing you any favors by getting up there and singing." "Okay, fine." "But only one song, and it's gotta be something light, like two by two." "You can sing the alphabet for all I care, just so long as you're smiling and singing together." "I..." "Will you excuse me?" "Of course." "Eileen, a kid died before he was able to finish his work." "I know and understand the business of theater." "But as a human being, I've gotta help see this show through." "I'm sorry." "So I've made the rounds." "Talked to a couple of people on the nominating committee." "They love the show." "The score's a lock." "What about best director?" "The truth?" "Some people say that if you're nominated, it'll be a surprise." "What?" "But everyone's been liking the show so much." "It's not over till I say it is." " What's left?" " Tomorrow night." "I mean, look what Derek did with Ronnie Moore's concert." "He reignited his career." "That was an event... 3,000 people, televised on Bravo, a curtain made out of frickin' roses." "This is ten people at the oak room." "Which is why it'll be so impressive when you blow them away." "So, what about me?" "That's the other thing." "The people I spoke to loved your performance." "But..." "I got a heads up on a blind item that's running in tomorrow's Voice." "Mentions a certain Broadway blonde's behavior offstage." "What behavior?" "I've been a Saint." "He mentions pills." "Those were for my voice." "An incident at a previous show." "Heaven on Earth?" "That was one night." "Rumors about you sleeping your way to the top." "Absolutely not." "And a particularly nasty comment about you and a former Costar's fiancée." "Okay, yeah, that was pretty bad." "But how do people even know about that?" "That's where I come in." "From now on, you're going to image rehab." "On stage, you're Marilyn." "Everywhere else, you're Norma Jeane." "To you finally having a drink here, as a working actress on Broadway." "No, to us on Broadway together." "All right." "I'll drink to that." "Six months ago, I thought I'd never get here." "Thank you, Jimmy." "How is it going with you guys?" "It's not." "He's made it perfectly clear." "He's hyper-focused on the show." "He barely talks to me." "You know, I think Ana's making far too many mistakes." "She's exhausted." "What do you wanna do?" "Just give her tomorrow night off." "And put Daisy in?" "If you think it'll help Ana..." "Couldn't hurt." "Okay." "Thanks." " See you later." " Yeah." "It's taken care of." "Hit it." "Mr. Wills, next time you bench one of our leads, how about a heads up?" "I'm trying to fix the problem." "I told you, Ana is not the problem." "Look, man, I-I've spent last night online." " I was reading feedback." " Yeah, the Internet." "A lot of helpful information there." "Yeah, those people are our fans, Derek." "And a lot of them don't think the show is as good as it was downtown." "Okay." "What do you think the problem is then?" "Context." "You know, it hit me this morning..." "Off-Broadway, the theaters are small." "There's no division between the audience and the stage." "When you enter the theater, you enter the world." "Absolutely." "But on Broadway, the stage is above the audience." "They're far away." "Maybe we need to erase that separation, make the house part of the show." "Yeah, I did love Mendes' Cabaret." "The audience was sat at tables." "What, like dinner theater?" "No, not really." "Derek, Daisy's ready to rehearse." "Okay." "Listen." "Too many changes, people think you're scared of something." "Just try and find one thing that feels organic, and change that." "You got ten hours." "You know, this is what Kyle was good at..." "This... big ideas." "He was." "Maybe he can help us." "You don't know Derek like I do." "He just wants to make sure you're at your best when we open." "Just take the night off." "It'll be okay." "You're wrong." "He's testing her." "No, he's not." "They're giving you a break." "You know who else had a break?" "Erin Dilly in Thoroughly modern Millie." "Sutton Foster went on for her." "Guess who's still on a break." "Derek wouldn't do that." "Look, I know you like him and all, but even you have to admit this lines up." "How many Marilyns did he go through... three?" "And that was before the show even got to Broadway." "Ana, you got amazing reviews downtown." "People stood in line to see you." "And they don't replace people like that." "Maybe if a star was interested, but Daisy's in the ensemble." "It would make no sense." "I was in the ensemble too." "I guess I will be again." "You're just being paranoid." "But..." "I'll talk to Derek." "I'll find out what's going on." " Hey." " Hi." "I'm sorry to be asking you this, because I'm sure it's ridiculous..." "But you really are just putting Daisy in for tonight, right?" " Of course." " Okay." "That's what I thought." "Because, Ana's the reason the diva exists." "She got The New York Times to notice the show, so are you sure she needs a night off?" "Yeah, she does." "She's exhausted." "Her voice is giving out." "She's missing cues." " She's gone up on lines." " Well, so have I. So has Jimmy." "Look." "One night off is not gonna kill her." "Anyway, it'll be an interesting experiment." "The diva is older than Amanda, after all." "My God." "You are replacing her." "Wait, Derek, what's going on?" "I'm under a lot of pressure here, Karen." "Yeah, so am I." "Yeah, but the kind of pressure" "I'm under is different, all right?" "Look, I have got the book writer's parents sitting in the audience every night, counting on me to carry on their dead son's legacy." "I've got a composer who's hell-bent on making a living memorial to his best friend, which means he will not change a bloody word." "And almost everyone here is making their Broadway debut, except me." "Ana's not." "Kyle would want her in it." "Yes, and that, my darling, is part of the problem, all right?" "Every decision I make I question, would Kyle have wanted it?" "And then I have to remind myself that, you know, some of Kyle's ideas were young and unformed." "And then I have to ask:" "Is it good for his memory, or is it good for the show?" "Because believe me, it is not the same thing." "Sorry." "All right." "That's very good, Daisy." "Should we get you up in the air now?" "Karen..." "At night I play an icon." "By day I drive one." "Introducing the entirely new Ford Fusion..." "Stunning design inside and out, just like me." "Hey." "Thank you." "And cut." "Print it." "Moving on." "Thank you so much." "Look at you." "TV star, national commercial." "Yeah, Eileen booked it weeks ago." "She thought the exposure would be great." "They're playing it during the Tonys." "That's really amazing." "I wish I could feel better about it." "I'm so freaked out about Musto's column." "It's a blind item." "Nobody knows he was talking about you." "You obviously didn't read the comments." "Everybody guessed it was me." "You just keep looking for opportunities to show people who you really are, like tonight at Tom and Julia's thing." "Yeah, Tom just called and said he's changing my song?" "I thought you were singing something from Bombshell." "Yeah, I thought so too, but now I'm singing something called grin and bare it." "Tom just said I'd be perfect for the character." "Yeah." "I remember that song." "It's about a bunch of strippers." "So basically, we're gonna change what could've been just another boring cavalcade of Broadway stars singing forgotten numbers from obscure musicals..." "Into a revue with a story and movement." "We'll transform the oak room into a down-on-its-luck Vegas strip club in the '50s." "I'll be the MC, natch..." "Sorry." "Sorry, sorry, sorry." "I had a commercial, my physical, and an interview with Playbill." "Ivy Lynn, ladies and gentlemen." "As I was saying, I'm the MC, and you guys are all dancers, strippers, patrons, gangsters." "When Ivy comes on..." "Yeah, about that." "Can I talk to you for a sec?" "Sure." "Cathie, why don't you go over everyone's roles and the song order?" "Okay." "Raise your hand if you're a pimp." "I'm starting to feel a little uncomfortable with my new song selection." "I-I know the whole point is to show everybody what a brilliant director you are, but you heard Agnes." "I need to show people that I'm more than just a Marilyn." "This isn't Marilyn." "Coco is a depressed alcoholic stripper..." "Point taken." "People are already talking about me." "I don't wanna give them any more ammunition." "At this point, I feel like I can't take a song away from someone else." "Do you just not wanna sing at all?" "Tom, check your phone." "My God." "8 missed calls and 22 emails in half an hour?" "Someone leaked to the press that you and Julia are splitting up." "It's everywhere..." "The boards, the blogs." "Who would've leaked it?" "I've just got one guess:" "Somebody I used to be married to." "We're in trouble." "People already think Bombshell has a split personality." "An actual split proves it's true." "And it doesn't help that half the partnership is never here, Tom." "I'm calling her." "MTW was a bust." "So do you think he brought it back..." "You haven't been here?" "Where have you been staying?" "Around." "Do you wanna go?" "Aha." "Here it is." "What, that's what you've been looking for?" "No." "These." "A lot of these ideas weren't right." "Some were fascinating, so I thought there might be something here." ""Newsreel"?" "What's that mean?" "If I remember correctly, he had an idea for an updated take on newsreel footage, blown out across the proscenium, just in your face..." "Gossip sites, tabloids, Twitter," "YouTube, a multimedia assault." "Yeah, commenting on fame was, like, Kyle's big thing." "At the Fringe, he had this idea where we take the ticket holders' phone numbers and send them texts during the show." "I mean, we couldn't pull it off, but..." "Live updates during the show?" "I like it." "Well, it doesn't matter." "I mean, it's impossible." "Well, nothing's impossible if you have enough money." "Does Jerry Rand have that kind of money?" "Are you kidding?" " It's a great idea!" " Yeah." "Audience participation in a 21st-century way." "Can we really get that done by tonight?" "We could try." "Hey." "What's going on?" "So I had my agent do some research, and it turns out that Daisy Parker was one of the six dancers who accused Derek of sexual harassment last fall, you know, the ones who mysteriously dropped the suit." "So what are you saying?" "I think she's blackmailing him for my role." "Excuse me." "Well, that's the thing about Jonathan Groff..." "He curses like a sailor." "Yo, Tom." "Lin, hi, hi." "Great to see you." "Hi." "How are you?" "Hey, listen." "I'm sorry I haven't gotten a chance to see Bombshell, but I hear the tourists love it." "Thanks." "I tried to see Bring it on, but it closed so fast," "I didn't get the chance." "Well, when you don't have that sweet, gratuitous nudity to keep you running..." "So, where's Julia?" " Or are the rumors true?" " She's here." "She's singing tonight, so she's probably by the bar." "Tequila courage." "Excuse me." "All right, I'm tweet that." "I love you." "I hate you." "This is getting ridiculous." "Where is Julia?" "I told Laura Benanti she's in the bathroom." "I told Norbert she's in a taxi." "I told Alice Ripley she's backstage." "Why... why can't I tell everyone the same lie?" "I have a room full of Tony voters who feel like they're at a funeral." "Get her here now." "Trying again." "I know, I know." " I'm coming." " Coming?" "You're coming?" "The shows starts in 15 minutes." "I'm sorry." "Jimmy and I are almost done." "We're trying to put one of Kyle's ideas into the show by curtain, and we have to do it tonight." "I appreciate what you're doing for Kyle." "I really do, but we have a show too, and that one's got your name on it." " I'm leaving right now." " Hurry." "We're first up." "I had to change the order when I turned it into a revue." "It's a revue?" "This reminds me of last year..." "Me working my ass off for both of us, and you, somewhere else, distracted." "Okay, to be fair, Tom, we broke up." "Yes." "And now that everyone here knows it, it's gonna make being alone here even more fun." " Wait." "Everyone knows?" " You would know that too if you would check your phone!" "Then we don't have to sing." "Did you really just say that?" "Why is this such a big deal to you?" "The big deal is I was looking forward to one last song with my best friend and partner of 11 years, one song that shows that even if we never work together again, that time meant something." " Tom..." " I'll see you when you get here." "I hope you can make it." "Cue LX402.5, got it." "Are you sure you wanna do this tonight?" "It's now or never." "Everything all right?" "Yeah, I gotta go." "You okay here?" "Yeah, I think so." "Okay, just don't forget..." "Tonight's a test." "Taking a risk, it's good." "That's what previews are for." "How many cues are you adding?" "Only one scene for now, after I'm not sorry." "Yeah, this isn't a good idea." "We've got a show in an hour, and we've never run it." "Derek, let him try." "Can you show us what it looks like?" " Five minutes?" " All right." "I'll wait." "♪ You run from the train ♪" "♪ the one you just missed ♪" "♪ you're out of cigarettes" "♪ you've got a headache" "Ivy?" "We need you." "I thought I was up last." "Well, no, Julia's not here, and Tom wants you to go up second." "What's wrong?" "I just don't know if I should be doing this striptease right now." "I heard what Agnes said." "Well, what do you think?" "I think it's a load of bunk." " Really?" " Yes." "You're young, you made a couple of mistakes, so big surprise." "What I love about you is that you're never afraid to be yourself." "You either go big, or you go home." "A couple of those nights," "I probably should've just gone home." "You know, you're not a Norma Jeane." "You're a Marilyn..." "That's who you are." "We're ready for you, Ivy." "Now go be fantastic."

"Well, okay, I'm not going on stage till you tell me what happened." "Okay, fine." "Maybe I'll put your understudy on as well." " What is the matter with you?" " Nothing!" "Okay?" "It's obvi..." "Can..." "It's obviously not nothing, so what is it?" "You can tell me." "Does she have something on you?" "From last fall?" "Last month." "Derek..." "She came to the Bombshell opening." "She apologized to me." "We had a drink." "Really?" "After everything that happened?" "Yeah, well, I was upset that night, okay?" "Look, we saw each other a few more times." "She came to Hit List." "She loved it." "She wanted to be in it." "And I wanted..." "You know." "Go on." "I told her if we went to Broadway, she could be an understudy, if she really wanted it, and she showed me that she did." " You're unbelievable." " Yes, I am." "And you know what the good news is?" "She filmed it, all of it, including my offer." "And if that gets out, I'm done." "So you gave her Ana's role?" "Would you rather I gave her yours?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "Well, 'cause I had a funny feeling if I did, you'd react the way you're reacting right now." "Yeah, Derek, I'm right to." "It's disgusting." "Okay." "I can't believe I almost let something happen between us." "My God, how is this now suddenly about you?" "Well, because it's always about you." " Okay." " So is that it?" "She just... she wins?" "A couple of dancers' accusations go away quick, all right?" "Proof sticks." "Just pray she's terrible." "And if Jerry hates her," "I can tell Daisy it's not up to me." "And what happens if she's good?" "I have no choice." "Yeah, Derek, you do." "It's a pretty clear choice." "You sure this is gonna work?" "These two, together on stage?"

"So, you know, I did a little poking around to find out who leaked the news about the split." " Yeah?" " Turns out, it wasn't Jerry." " Really?" " Nope." "It was somebody a little closer to the production." "A farewell concert..." "You're a genius, Eileen." "I know." "Jimmy." "I'm sorry, just one second." "I-I just wanted to say real quick, just great show." "And I think..." "I think Kyle would be really proud." "Yeah, I hope so." "I'm proud of you too." "Thanks." "Have a good night, okay?" "Thank you for tonight." "Thank you for the song." "Thank you for all of the songs." "Are we doing the right thing?" "We've been Houston and Levitt for so long," "I don't know how to be just Houston." "Me neither." "I think that's why it's the right thing." "To us." "To us." "How'd it go?" "It worked." "Of course it did." "Yeah, so tomorrow I figure that we..." "We start writing the rest of the transitions." "You know, we got 20 scenes..." "Newsreels after all of them." "I'm sorry, I can't." "You can't..." "Wh... you can't what?" "I agreed to help Derek and you transfer the show, but I don't feel comfortable writing anything." "No, no, Julia..." "Julia, I'm not a writer." "I can't do this by myself." "Yes, you can." "Is this about Bombshell?" "'Cause you were totally into helping me until you went down to that concert." "This was always supposed to be temporary." "You know what you need to do now." "I have a show too, and I owe it to them to be there." "No, no, I get it." "We're your competition." "We're colleagues." "Take care, Julia." "Jerry loved her." "I'm sorry." "You're sorry?" "That's not good enough." "Derek, stand up to her." "She's never gonna release that tape." "She just wants to hold it over you forever." "Yeah, well, I can't take that risk." "The stuff in the fall was bad enough." " Derek, this is my job." " Yeah, it's my career." "And honestly, you'll get another job." "Are you kidding me?" "Derek." "Hey!" "How'd it go?" " It went great." " Yeah?" "David Cromer wants to do a workshop with me." "Yeah!" "What about your show?" "He didn't look too happy." "I don't know." "Something's up." "It's been a crazy day." "Ivy?" "Ana Vargas from Hit List, or I was." "Yeah." "I know who you are." "Was?" "What's going on?" "Derek just fired me." "He fired you?" "He fired you too, right?" "After the workshop last year?" "Well, that's not exactly how it happened." "Was it because you stopped sleeping with him?" " Ana..." " Excuse me?" "I'm sorry." "Karen told me the story, okay?" "What story?" "You know, how he wanted to sleep with her, and she said no, but then you did, and you got the part." "Is that what Karen said?" " What else did she tell you?" " No..." "I'm not blaming you." "It's Derek who's doing something wrong, and I'm trying to stop it before it happens again." "Hey, Ivy, you don't..." "Hey." "I thought we were gonna be adults about this." "What are you talking about?" "You have no right telling anyone that I slept with Derek to get a part or anything else." "Okay, wait, first of all, if you're talking about me telling Ana, she's my..." "my best friend." "And second, Ivy, every..." "Everyone already knows." "If it's coming to bite you in the ass, maybe that's on you." "You play this naive, just-off-the-bus routine to get exactly what you want." "But deep down, you're just as calculating as the next person." "You being the next person?" "You really wanna play it like that?" "I'm not playing anything." "You know what?" "I'm actually glad that Hit List made it to Broadway 'cause the only thing better than getting a Tony will be beating you to get it." "Yeah, okay." "I think we're done here." "See you on the red carpet." "If you make it there." "Really, three times in a row?" " Ivy Lynn?" " Yeah?" "This is Dr. Lopez's office." "We got the results of your blood test back and wanted to reach you right away." "Why, is..." "Is everything okay?" "Congratulations." "You're pregnant."
