" What are you doing?" " Sorry." "Break a leg." " Break both of them." " Sarah." "Call it." " Is it zipped?" "Is it zipped?" " Hold on a second." "Places!" "Cue seven, go!" "Dear Celia, I show more mirth than I am mistress of, and would you yet I were merrier?" "Unless you could teach me to forget a banished father, you must not learn me how to remember any extraordinary pleasure." "Herein I see thou lov'st me not..." "How am I supposed to walk in this?" "You just walk." "But doth he know that I am in this forest, and in man's apparel?" "Than he that dies and lives by bloody drops?" "I would not be thy executioner..." "I fly thee, for I would not injure thee." "Thou tell'st me there is murder in mine eye." "'Tis pretty, sure, and very probable," "That eyes, that are the softest and frail'st things," "That are the softest and frail'st things," "Should be call'd tyrants, butchers, murderers!" "Was that supposed to happen?" "... and, I am sure, as many as have good beards, or good faces, or sweet breaths, will, for my kind offer, when I make curtsy, bid me farewell." "Okay, act two..." "Orlando!" "Try not to make entrances in scenes you're not in." "Otherwise, great... same with you Silvius, huge leap forward!" " Celia, excellent." " Thank you!" "Let's see, who else..." "Phebe!" "Where's Phebe?" " Right here." " The picnic scene..." "What was up with that tree?" "My costume is a little big." "Right, blame the costume." "Can we do something about that?" "Well, it's really not easy doing costumes plus playing Audrey?" "Especially since I happen to have an ulcer..." " Like you have an ulcer." " It's been medically diagnosed." "She'll fix the skirt." "Just know that your work tonight," " it was really very good." " Thank you." "Thank you." "Alexa!" "You were amazing!" "Oh, Jess... hi!" "So were you!" "I'm coming to this every night." "OK, your public awaits..." "I'll see you all back here, tomorrow night, at exactly half hour!" "Don't be late!" "Tad!" "I'm proud of you, your work has really grown." "Thanks Mr. Dimitri." "See you tomorrow, Tad." "Mr. Dimitri?" "Was there anything..." "you wanted to mention to me, or?" "Like what?" "I don't know." "Like anything." "God, when she dragged that tree!" "I mean, a lot of stuff went wrong." "Things can't always go according to plan." "Grace!" "You were the best!" "You really were, sweetie!" "That was just wonderful." "Thank you." "Where's Eli?" "They were both so good." "I'm not surprised." "I can't believe you didn't come." "He had to work, he'll go tomorrow night." "Maybe then my costume won't destroy the entire set." "Jessie!" "It did not." "It did though." "Mom thought it was part of the show." " Mom was there?" " Like she'd miss opening night." " I'll go tomorrow." " Great, we'll go together." "I didn't get to meet Tad!" "I was hoping you'd introduce me." "Yeah, well, maybe some other..." "And I didn't get to congratulate Mr. Dimitri." "You know?" "Grace?" "You can see him on closing night." "He must have been very pleased." "Was he pleased?" "I really have no idea, and I actually don't care." "I mean, Mr. Dimitri isn't God, you know." "I'm going to bed." "Good night." "I mean, what actually matters is if I'm pleased." "With myself." "You're absolutely right." "But what did he say?" "Do you have any idea how long I've been out there?" "Long?" "Never mind, can you just come, now?" "Where?" "You're driving me to school on the way to work!" "I think you better drive." " Wait, let me see your pupils!" " Yeah, right." " Obviously, I better drive." " Obviously." " Right, turn away in shame!" " I'm just looking for my shoe." "Your eyes are all bloodshot." "That's called normal morning blood." "I can't believe you actually get high in the morning." "That's just... wrong." "Good, could you tell me everything that's wrong with me?" "Before work, that's how I like to start my day." " With plenty of criticism." " Can we go?" "Please?" "Hey, Jess!" "Did you see the paper?" " Look, they loved it." " There you are!" " Do you believe Binder?" " My God!" " He's insane!" " I know!" "What?" "Oh, in Western Civ, Mr. Binder was up on his chair..." "And then... he took the ruler!" "Oh, I know!" "Anyway." "Here." "Here's the part about your half sister..." "Step sister." ""As Rosalind, Grace Manning commands the stage," ""always poised and in total control."" "Then they mention how you got stuck to the scenery." "But when you started singing, everybody forgot about that." "But that was so funny, I don't think anyone's ever gonna forget it." "Here, let me see..." "So, you're gonna fix my costume before tonight?" "Gee, Jessie, it's always all about you, isn't it." "I'm kidding, God." "Look at her face, she thought I was serious." "Don't worry, Sarah will fix it." "Sarah can fix anything." "Come on, let's go." "I don't see why she's wearing this huge long skirt anyway." "Don't move." "I see Phebe in something hotter." " No way, the concept is she's innocent." " A really short skirt can be innocent." "Plus it's more sixties." "People also wore long peasant-type dresses in the sixties." "Like constantly." "I looked it up." "Could you please stop shifting your weight?" "So I didn't realize you two knew each other." "If you'd known Katooshka was my best friend you'd have sucked up to me more, huh?" " She's kidding." " I'm totally kidding." "Wait, "Katooshka"?" "I call her Katooshka and she calls me Sarooshka." "What should Jessie's Russian name be?" "OK, take it off, I'll hem it at half hour." "Now, can we eat?" "My stomach..." "Can we please not hear about your stomach lining today?" "Jess, come on!" "Try not to get stuck on any trees." "Shush!" "What took you so long?" " People are freaking." " There was a line." "Eli, I've done the coffee run." "It never takes this long." "I think you're better off..." "not going in there just now." "Okay?" " I got it." "You're kidding me?" " No!" "I'm not!" "So try being just a little more proactive today, okay?" " More pro what?" " Do I hear coffee?" "Yes, sir!" "Delancey, just help us out here, will you?" "Let Delancey do this, I need to speak with you for a minute." " Look, Eli..." " Listen." "I'm not even gonna explain about what happened, traffic-wise, 'cause it doesn't justify anything, I know I've taken long to do things, like that whole "missing tape" thing..." "That should never have happened." "Period." "And this shouldn't have happened." "I'm sorry, it won't happen again." "I know I can do a better job." "I know I can." "And I will." "You're fired." "What?" "Are you serious?" "It's just not working out, Eli." "I want to respect you enough to be completely honest with you." "Should I finish out the day, or do I leave now?" "You leave now." " What?" "!" " Don't worry, I handled it." "Can you help me with this?" "I don't believe this." "I cannot catch a break!" "Don't worry." "You don't understand, that's my mother." "She's a lawyer, she probably figured out I was fired instantaneously." "It's okay." "I covered for you." "And I'm extremely believable." "Wait... start from when she came over." "What exactly did you say?" "That you left work early." "Great." "Great cover." "It was." "She had to choose the one day I get fired to check up on me." "People leave work early all the time." " You don't know my mother." " To go to the dentist, or something." "She wasn't checking up on you, she just wanted to take you to some play, or something." "Oh, shoot, the play." "Go, it'll cheer you up!" "You don't understand, I was supposed to be there like..." " ... now." "Dammit!" " Where's my barrette?" "Your what?" "My barrette." "It was my favorite one." "Oh well." "I have to go." "So what do we do now?" "I mean, we can still see each other, even though we're not working together." "Look, Eli, I could try to sugarcoat this, but I respect you enough to tell you the truth." "You know I wish everyone would stop respecting me and telling me the truth, because it's making me sick." "We both know what this was." "Would you at least try to sugarcoat it?" "Please." "I'm sorry." "I know this hasn't been a very fun day." "Everybody decent?" "It's just me." "Everyone else is late." "Little worms." "Did you see the paper?" "No, what happened?" "No, I mean, our paper, the school paper." "We got a rave review." "Oh." "That's nice." "Yeah, they said really nice things about  everyone." "You should read it." "I don't read reviews." "You don't?" "But it's... it's really positive." "Yeah." "Those are the worst ones." "Where the hell is everybody?" "It's not really that different." "It's shorter." "Not that much." "It's just... way too big." "Maybe you lost weight." "Cue 86, go now!" "Never talk to me." " I will weep." " Do, I prithee." "But yet have the grace to consider that tears do not become a man." "His very hair is of the dissembling colour." "His kisses are Judas's own children." "In faith, his hair is of a good colour." "And his kissing is as full of sanctity as the touch of holy bread." "But why did he swear he would come this morning, and comes not?" "There is no truth in him." " You're not the star of this show." " I know." "Nobody else is complaining about their costume." "Because their costumes fit!" "Wasn't she incredible?" "Amazing!" "I was practically in tears the whole time." "The minute you see that skyline..." "Oh, I know." "And when she sang that... "Heart Like a Wheel"..." "Oh, I know!" "Grace did very well." "Yeah." "Thanks." "Are we supposed to meet her backstage, or..." "She told me she'd meet us out here." "I was hoping I might see Eli tonight." "Oh, Lily called me at intermission, apparently he had a really hard day at work." "What?" "He was supposed to meet me here, but I guess he..." " That's odd." " Why is it odd?" "Because I stopped by the recording studio late this afternoon, and a woman there told me he went home early." "So you automatically assume..." "Well, what conclusion would you draw?" "I don't know, I don't think it's right..." "There could be any number of explanations, his boss might have sent him home!" "Why would he send him home?" "Because!" "He was working so hard!" "I just find it odd that..." "Honey!" "Sweetheart, you were wonderful!" "You were wonderful!" "I still hate my costume though." "Thanks, Dad." "Where's Grace?" "She said she has to rehearse something with Tad, and she'll get a ride home from him later." "Is that okay with you?" "You were really good." "Thank you!" ""Why, how now, Orlando, where have you been all this while?" "You, a lover?" "An you serve me such another trick, never come more in my sight."" ""My fair Rosalind I come within..."" "Tad, you're trying to get me to forgive you, why are you over there?" " I don't know, I thought..." " You'd be over here!" "What's up, guys?" "It just seemed like we should go over this part." "I mean, the way he's doing the scene just isn't working." "Tad." "Why don't you go change, I need to speak to Grace for a minute." "Thank you." "I had to do something!" " Did you." " Yes!" "I mean..." " Were you even watching tonight?" " Of course I was." "I thought Tad did an excellent job." " How can you say that?" "!" " Because I was watching." "Tad walks into scenery!" "Tad enters scenes he's not in and leaves scenes he is in!" " He barely knows his lines!" " I realize that." "So how can you say that?" "How can you say that he's doing an excellent job and not say one word to me?" "!" "Because at least he's doing the best he can." "Are you saying I'm not?" "You know all your lines, all your moves, you know exactly when to laugh and when to cry, you remain in complete and total control at every moment and the audience is very impressed, but I don't believe one word you say." "Well, that's because this stupid play makes no sense!" "Come on, she sees this Orlando person and the very next minute she can't live without him?" "It's not believable!" "Her own friend can't even figure out why she loves him." "Because he's got no friends, no future, no hope." "And he's beginning to think the world might be better off without him." "And that touches her heart." "But you know all that." "You're just pretending not to." "Oh, really." "And why would I do that?" "You're afraid." "Afraid that you might feel something you haven't planned." "Well, if that's what you're waiting for?" "For me to come out on-stage and bare my soul or something?" " I'm not doing it!" " I know you're not." "A real actress would." "Grace?" "Can I come in?" "So how'd the second night go?" "Okay." "I can't get out of your performance." "You know exactly what you're doing every minute." "Whatever." "Jessie told me you got a rave review in the school newspaper!" "I don't read reviews." "You don"t?" "I just don't see the point." "You're a really interesting person." "Hardly." "What is it, sweetie, are you just exhausted?" "Well, try and get some sleep." "Good night." "I love you." "Me too, good night." "I can't sleep." "Come on in." "So, I'm sorry I didn't make it tonight." "Don't worry about it." "So tomorrow's the last night?" "Yeah." "Thank God." "Whose barrette?" "That's... my sister's, I think." "I'll definitely be there tomorrow night." "So... why can't you sleep?" "You know how if someone says something really upsetting to you, how it just... lodges in your mind?" "And you keep hearing it, like over and over?" "Till you just want to kill yourself?" "What would make that stop?" "Anything?" "What do you mean?" "How come you never ask me to get high with you?" "Are you serious?" "Why wouldn't I be?" "I don't know..." "You always act like you totally disapprove." "Well, so?" "That doesn't mean..." "You don't seem the type." "Why, how do I seem?" "I don't know... like you wouldn't want to lose that much control." "Or something." "That's so unfair!" " It's not a criticism, I just..." " It's not true, and it's not fair!" " I didn't mean..." " That isn't how I really am!" "I had a really hard night, tonight." "Just help me out here." "What are you saying?" "I'm saying why did they send him home early?" "Why would they do that?" "There could be any number of reasons." "Name one." "People leave work early all the time!" "To go to the dentist,..." " He didn't go to the dentist." " You know who you sound like?" "Don't say Karen." "Karen." "It doesn't add up." "You know, I think just once, you should consider the possibility that your son might be innocent!" "You want some water or something?" "No that's OK." "You sure?" "You keep moistening your lips." "That's a really weird word." "Lips?" "Moisten." "But actually, both of them are weird." "Actually." "I know." "Moisten." "So who's this person who keeps saying this stuff to you who you keep thinking about?" "Are you really gonna come to the play tomorrow night?" " Yeah." " Are you just saying that?" " I'm really gonna be there." " Because look..." "You were supposed to come tonight, but you didn't, but it's okay, if you actually don't want to come to the play, but just tell me, I just want to know, like... ahead of time." "So I can be prepared for like... whatever happens." "I'm gonna be there, you want me to sign something?" "Oh God, oh God, this isn't working." "Sit down..." "This isn't working, it's making it worse." "Sit down." "I'm trying to not think, but I can't," "I'm like thinking more..." "I can hear my heart beating, it's too loud!" "OK, close your eyes." "But... can you hear that?" "Breathe." "Just keep breathing." " I can't do that play tomorrow night." " Sure, you can." "No." "I can't." "Well, then... so quit." "You don't understand, I can't just  quit." "It's like... a job!" "They sold all these tickets, and Mom volunteered our house for the party, everyone's counting on me." "You can't just let people down like that." "I wish I was more like you." "No." "You don't." "Yes, I do." "No..." "Because I'm making a total fool of myself!" "See, I actually thought..." "I was good." "And I'm not." "Then do it one more time." "Just for me." " For you?" " Yeah, forget about everybody there." "And do it for me." "Can you can do that?" "I am never smoking pot, ever again." "Good plan." "Good morning." "I slept here?" " But... where did you?" " I'm not gonna sugarcoat it." "I slept on the floor." "Don't worry, I have it too easy." "I thought I should wake you up 'cause it's, I don't know..." "You better get out of here before certain people come." " Wow." "You just saved my life." " Anytime." " So you're coming tonight, right?" " Yes, I am." "You're up early!" "Morning!" "Is Jessie around?" "What you need is a belt." "Are you sure this is OK with Sarah?" "Oh, don't worry, I'll explain it to her." "Well, good, because..." "She really has been kind of stressed." "And she does have that ulcer." "Imagine if she didn't." "I mean, not that I don't love her, but... it's like the key element to her identity now, it's all she talks about!" "Whereas you don't ever talk about being anorexic." "And that's ten times more interesting than some ulcer." "What?" "!" "You know what I mean." "So why don't you?" "Ever talk about it." "I do, with my therapist." "It helps." "I didn't think it would, but it does." " I wish I had something wrong with me." " Don't say that." "No, really." "Listen, because... then it would show." "I mean, there'd be this tangible proof of how totally weird I feel." "Instead of having this outside that makes people think" "I'm always just... fine, just perfectly fine and well-adjusted." "And nobody knows how totally un-normal I feel." "Yeah, but... it's hard having something wrong with you." "Everybody knows how you feel, you can't hide it." "What's so great about hiding who you are?" "You know what I wish I could wear, in the play?" "Instead of this?" "This is very... nice." "Well, you know, I've just been fixing it up." "It smells nice." "I was just in the neighborhood, and I thought that... it would be good to come by and see where you live and see you." "Yeah." "You can come over... whenever." "Are you sure I didn't wake you?" "Mom, it's 1 pm." "I know, but it's Saturday." "How lazy do you think I am?" "I don't think you're lazy!" "So I heard you came by work yesterday." "I was hoping I might see you." "They've been changing the whole schedule around." "They did?" "That's why I came home early yesterday." "They changed us to nights." "Just for a little bit." "I don't know, they're on this whole album, it's crazy... they've been working us round the clock." "You mean, week-ends?" "You have to work tonight?" "Yeah, every night." "I see." "You're gonna love this, you're gonna cry." "Oh, I know." "There's Karen." "You can go talk to her." " Thank you, that's very big of you." " I know." "I'll save you a seat." "Karen!" "Hi!" "Oh, this is great, hi!" "Are you here with Lily?" "Mom?" "Is that seat for Eli?" " No, this is for Judy." " Well, Eli's definitely coming so... here, save him a seat..." "There." "Now I feel better." "Break a leg!" "You're supposed to put on your costume first, and then your makeup." "Isn't that Katie's skirt?" "Yeah, but now it's my costume." "What?" "I wasn't comfortable in that other thing and this is, so I'm gonna wear it." "Could you come out here a second?" "OK, Jessie, first of all..." "Where's Grace?" "Anyone's seen Grace?" "She's just gonna do the same thing to you, you know." "When she gets sick of you." "Before me there was Joanna Frankel." "And before her is was Teri Brody." "She's just gonna do it to you, too, so don't think that you're special." "And will you, being a man of your breeding, join wainscot?" "Are you OK?" "Did you leave a silver barrette in Eli's room?" "I don't wear barrettes." "Grace, what are you waiting for?" "Go, go!" "Never talk to me;" "I will weep." "Do, I prithee; but have the grace to remember that tears do not become a man." "But have I not cause to weep?" "As good cause as one would desire;" "therefore weep." "His very hair is of the dissembling colour." "His kisses are Judas's own children." "No." "In faith, his hair is of a good colour." "And his kissing is as full of sanctity as the touch of holy bread." "But why did he swear he would come this morning, and comes not?" "There is no truth in him." "We have this thing we're supposed to do now, and Grace was supposed to do it, but nobody can find her, so..." "Tad?" "Hey... everyone!" "Attention!" " Tad." " What?" " Go ahead!" " I thought you were gonna do it." "You had that thing you were gonna say." "Just... somebody say something!" "OK, I'll say it." "Grace had a whole speech, but she's not here." "You made us rehearse until our voices were sore, sometimes we couldn't remember our own names," "you made us work harder than we've ever worked before, you were tough, and sometimes we hated you." " But..." " What?" "But it was all worth it, because what we got was:" "an amazing play, an amazing director, and an amazing experience." "So... we all just wanted to say thank you." "So thank you." "Dad?" "See, it says Mr. Dimitri." "Yes." "It does." "Speech!" "For the first time in my life, I may be speechless." "Thank you, for this." "But..." "I should be giving you guys a gift." "Because you made the play what it was, not me." "You were all fantastic." "And you should be really really proud." "Go back to your party!" " Have you seen Grace?" " No." "OK, everybody, let's do a group photo." "Surprised?" " I'll be right there." " Sort 'em around here." "Sweetie..." "Group photo!" "I'll get her." "All right, everybody, we're gonna... scoot on in." "If you're looking for Sarah, she didn't come." "That's not why I'm here." "Why didn't you explain to her about the dress?" "I don't know." "Are you afraid of her or something?" "No!" "I just..." " Look, this isn't..." " Actually..." "I am sort of scared of her." "This isn't how I am." "What do you mean?" "Sarah is really giving the impression that..." "She's acting like this is just some big contest, like you have to choose, like if you're friends with me, you can't be friends with her, and that is so not how I am, and so stupid," "so we should..." "I choose you." "What?" "I choose you over her." "But I don't want anybody choose anybody." "I know you don't, but..." "I can't help it." "Listen to the rain." "I got caught in the rain." "I was just... walking." "Can you keep a secret?" "Yes." "Well... it depends." "I helped myself to some of your parents' wine." "Don't tell anyone." "I don't think they'd really..." "You're incredible." "You're an incredibly talented person." "I am?" "I myself am a fraud, but you are... not." "You're the real deal." "And maybe I've been harsh on you, but that's only because the world is harsh, Grace." "And I want you... to be ready for it." "You're not a fraud." "Tonight, you let everything inside you actually show, which I believe is the only thing in the world worth doing." "Although I've never been willing to do it  myself." "So, how did you do it?" "Do you know?" "I mean, what made tonight..." "so different?" "You." "You made it different." "What you said." "It doesn't have to be a secret." "I mean, I don't think they'd mind about the wine." "Maybe not." "Can I taste it?" "Oh great, you're still here!" "Yes, I helped myself to some of your wine..." "I never got to tell you what a wonderful job you did." "It was my pleasure." "Where were you?" "Everyone was looking for you..." "You're all flushed..." "Wasn't Grace just... just so real?" "She was." "Incredibly real." "I got so caught up..." "I didn't even remember it was you!" "Me too." "Where were you, we saved you a seat!" "Sorry..." "You should be." "You missed an amazing performance." "Mom, wait, you forgot the forks!" "Do you need any help?" "No, I can handle it." "Sorry I missed the play." "I heard it was pretty good." "So you're Mr. Dimitri, right?" "I'm her step-brother." "Oh, yes, she's mentioned you." "She's mentioned you too." "You're a musician, aren't you." "No." "Not really." "I'm not really anything." "Is this cake for us?" "Subtitles:" "Nathbot ~ bufgelfly ~"
