"And they always get the part." "Yeah, maybe, but they're not Joy." "Yeah, Well, me, I've got a lot of good shit happening off of my YouTube page." "In fact, I'm meeting with a producer today about putting together an independent film." "What?" "Yeah." "Uh..." "I have an idea for a short." "It's about a legendary director who suddenly dies while filming his movie." "So his inadequate son decides to honor his father by finishing the film, but the only help he has is this misfit cast of characters, like, straight out of a Wes Anderson." "It's The Life Aquatic meets The Bad and the Beautiful." "Sounds really artistic, Neil." "Well, I think so." "Hopefully, Sundance agrees." "Small place." "Yeah." "You want some coffee or some water?" "I'm all right." "You don't want to see me on coffee." "Wired enough as is." "Take a seat." "The script is good." "Thank you." "It's, you know, a labor of love of mine and it's not quite there yet."

"Yeah, let's talk about it." "Let's talk about the budget." "how are you gonna raise the money?" "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity here." "I don't understand." "Shouldn't he be giving you the money?" "Isn't that what producers do?" "He's not the financier." "He's the producer." "And there's a difference." "All I need you to do is kick in, like, five grand." "And I know." "I'm aware." "I'm aware that's a lot of money." "I really get it." "I get it." "But, you know, Eddie says we could even, you know..." "We could sell it to television and make a profit." "You gotta trust me on this one, Dad." "I'd be shooting on a real film and everything." "I mean, Dad..." "I mean, this is the real deal, Dad." "The real deal, huh?" "You think so?" "Come on, Dad." "Help a brother out." "So this is what it's like to have a social life?" "Yeah, Well, it beats memorizing Shakespeare, doesn't it?" "Yeah." "how long do We have to stay here?" "I don't know." "Come on, let's just have fun." "We haven't been out in a while." "Okay." "I'll get us some drinks." "Okay." "Well, look who it is." "Andy!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Um..." "Jenny." "Jenny." "That's right."

"You want to take shots?" "I'm good, thanks." "Are you sure?" "Okay." "Yeah." "You know, they're looking for day players on the show." "Would that be something you might be interested in?" "Seriously?" "Yeah." "I mean, I could put in a good Word." "Yeah!" "That Would be perfect." "Thank you." "Okay." "So how should we do this?" "Do you Want to give me your number?" "Yeah, I don't think I have a pen or a..." "No, no, don't Worry about it." "Just put it right in here." "Okay." "Um..." "I think that's it." "Yeah, I can do this." "Yeah, I don't..." "Yeah, okay."

"Yeah, he loves your talent." "That's what he loves." "So it's that preposterous that somebody might actually like me for my talent?" "No, of course not." "Look, no one believes in you more than I do, and you know that." "Honestly, it's just the Way he Was looking at you." "Fine." "If it means that much to you, I Won't talk to him ever again." "Promise." "now let's get out of here." "We can go to my dad's apartment." "What, now?" "Mmm-hmm." "He's on a date." "He Won't be back until later." "There's definitely something there." "Something that could be interesting." "Check it out." "We've got an AR meeting next Week." "What I'd like to do is play it for the team, see what kind of feedback We get, and I'll get back to you." "Nice." "Yo, yo, did you see him bobbing his head?" "He Was bobbing his head to himself." "He Was bobbing..." "Guys, guys." "He didn't say he wanted us." "Did you not hear what he said?" "He said, "Interesting. "" "Interesting!" "Man, We are so in." "Yo, I'm gonna give my moms a house in the Hamptons on the beach." "Guys?" "It's gonna be crazy." "You're not even trying, Rosie." "Ballet is a requirement for every student dancer in this school." "But, Ms. Kraft, I'm good at hip-hop!" "My job isn't to cast music videos." "It's to train serious dancers." "P.A. Isn't about just doing whatever you Want." "It's about becoming a complete performer." "I..." "I don't know where you fit in here." "Fit in here?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "It means you're gonna keep flailing around and you're not gonna..." "This isn't about me, is it?" "You don't like my body." "Admit it!" "Don't be ridiculous." "Modern companies are full of girls who don't have the..." "Oh, really?" "Then how come this department is filled with skinny little girls with no titties and tight little butts, Walking around drinking Diet Coke?" "I ain't never gonna be like them." "And I don't wanna be." "You Want girls who've been starving themselves, and look like they're 11 and have so little body fat they can't even get a period to dance parts for real Women." "And that sucks!" "You're part of a machinery of oppression, Ms. Kraft." "Just admit it." "Hey!" "First of all, don't speak to me like that." "Don't speak to any teacher like that." "It's very rude." "It's also very ugly." "And second of all, you know that's not true." "I Want my dancers to be healthy, and I talk to you all about that all the time." "You don't have a good technique, and you're not Working toward a technique." "And yet, I Wanna keep you here." "Shit." "Jenny!" "Guess what." "What?" "I got a job." "You're kidding!"

"Okay." "So what show is it?" "Sesame Street." "Holy shit." "That show's still on?" "I'm gonna get paid to act." "That's incredible!" "You bitch." "I Wonder if they need any hot, young, new, macho director types." "I mean, I know they're always looking for new talent on that show." "I don't think so." "But if you're really nice and give me back rubs," "I might let you be part of my entourage." "Ooh, back rubs." "You mean like..." "Oh, I'm sorry, did that hurt?" "I'm sorry." "Yeah." "You know what?" "Singing in front of all of your friends in the classroom is one thing, but now We're here." "And you guys are gonna sing in front of this lovely group of total strangers, who actually are sort of hoping that you'll be really bad." "It's gonna be great."
