"And you're saying" "That movie's not scary?" "No, I'm saying" "It's not as scary as tofu." "Why are you always" "Rippin' on tofu?" "'Cause it tastes like snot." "And snot does not taste good." "Hey, look who's here." "Hey, can you guys help me?" "Sure." "Just keep that over there." "Let's probably get" "Some shelves or something." "There we go." "All set." "Thanks."

"This pig is everything to me" "That my daddy never was," "And I'll be ding danged." "Sikowitz?" "What?" "You hit me in the face" "With a ball." "Oh, come on," "A truly great actor" "Can stay in the scene" "No matter what's happening" "Around her." "But it really hurts." "Oh, lunch, yay." "Learn your lines." "I want everyone" "Off book tomorrow." "Hey, you wanna" "Come to lunch with us?" "Sure, just lemme...aaah." "What was that for?" "I'm not acting right now." "We need to chat." "And "Tori, can I see you?"" "Wouldn't have worked?" "Have fun." "Protect your face." "What's up?" "I hear you signed up" "To audition" "For a play, "moonlight magic?"" "Andre wrote the music for it" "And he wants me" "To play the lead." "You should." "But you can't?" "Not until you pass" ""The bird scene."" ""The bird scene?"" "Here at hollywood arts," "Every student must" "Successfully complete" ""The bird scene"" "Before they can audition for any" "And all school productions."

"I don't understand." "A lot of girls who dance," "All in one room, with him." "Would you mind" "If maybe I signed up too?" "Nah, go for it." "How about you, man?" "Can't." "Me and Jade already signed up" "For salsa dancing." "I can't eat salsa." "Why?" "'Cause it hurts your stomach" "And gives you nightmares?" "No." "Yes." "Maybe." "Ready?" "Drive-By acting exercise." "You're all angry englishmen." "Go." "I insist you tell me" "Who sat on me crumpet." "My grandmummy went to the loo" "While I snogged" "The prime minister."

"You, you, you..." "All right, all right," "Very good, quiet down." "Now that we're all" "Loosey and/or goosey," "The time has come" "For our newest student" "To tackle..." "The bird scene." "Tori, the stage is yours," "Though you can't take it home." "Can I ask you a few question" "Before I start?" "So..." "Just do your best." "Action." "Okay." "It was 1934" "When my husband left me." "Alone, living on the prairie" "Was a dreary existence." "No telephone, no radio." "Only a large, majestic bird" "With whom I shared my feelings." "One day when I was feeling low," "I said to him," ""Oh bird, you can fly." ""You can soar miles" ""From this lonely place," ""Yet you stay." "Why?"" "And apparently," "My question rang true," "For that afternoon," "The bird left." "And so went my spirit." "How was that?" "What do you mean?" "Did I do the scene right?" "No, not at all." "Okay, then what'd I do wrong?" "You'll have to perform" "The scene again tomorrow" "And get it right," "Or else you cannot be" "In Andre's play or any other." "But can you tell me" "What I did wrong?" "No, I can't." "I don't get any feedback?" "That is correct." "But..." "Drive-By acting exercise." "You're all terrified dolphins." "Go." "Live the fear." "Live the fear." "Come on." "How am I supposed to do" "The scene right" "If no one will tell me" "What I did wrong?" "I thought you guys" "Were my friends." "I'm not your friend." "I was hoping" "We could be more than friends." "Uh, it's so gross" "How he's always hitting" "On every girl." "I never hit on you." "What's that supposed to mean?" "You guys...my problem." "Number one rule" "Of the bird scene:" "Nobody's allowed to help you." "No one." "So this is what you did" "With your locker?" "Yeah." "See, it's a dry erase board" "With a bunch of colorful pens" "In a convenient cup." "So whoever wants to," "Can write or draw" "Whatever they want." "But you're supposed" "To decorate it yourself." "It's a hollywood" "Arts tradition." "Well, what's wrong" "With letting other people" "Be expressive on my locker?" "Well, for one thing" "They can do that." "Yeah?" "Yeah, well my locker's smarter" "Than your locker." "How can a locker be..." "I don't know." "Oh, come on." "Somebody tell me" "How to do the bird scene" "Or I'm gonna cry." "Can't." "And don't be so whiny." "Yeah, man up." "Time for our first" "Ballet class." "Oh, ballet." "I didn't know" "I'd feel so awkward" "Wearing tights." "These things squeeze me" "In a bad way." "Yeah, you won't" "Be complaining" "When we're surrounded" "By lady ballerinas." "Aw man, it's a dude ranch." "So, you ready?" "Oh, I'm way past ready." "Sikowitz wants "the bird scene?"" "I'm gonna give him" "The bird scene." "I got props, I got a backdrop," "And just to kiss up a little," "I even got sikowitz" "Two large coconuts." "Those are good ones." "What's the deal" "With sikowitz and coconuts?" "He says the milk" "Gives him visions." "All right, we're here..." "We have much to do today," "But first, Tori, the bird scene." "I'm ready." "And before I begin," "I'd like you to have" "These two large coconuts." "Wonderful." "You know, their milk" "Gives me visions." "I've heard." "Very good." "Everyone, pay attention." "Tori?" "One sec." "Oh, a backdrop!" "And I am ready." "Delightful." "Action." "It was 1934" "When my husband left me." "Alone, living on the prairie" "Was a dreary existence." "No telephone, no radio," "Only a large, majestic bird" "With whom I shared my feelings." "One day when I was feeling low," "I said to him," ""Oh bird, you can fly." ""You can soar miles" ""From this lonely place," ""Yet you stay." "Why?"" "And apparently," "My question rang true," "For that afternoon," "The bird left." "And so went my spirit." "So, was that good?" "Exactly what are you" "Asking me?" "You know, did you like" "What I did with the scene?" "Sure." "So did I get it right?" "Oh no, you failed, again." "What?" "Why?" "I did everything..." "Hey, watch!" "Where you throw your props." "Cat!" "Hey!" "You have to try something." "Handcuffs?" "Huh, put 'em on one wrist." "Okay." "Good, and now we lock" "The other part around here." "Fun." "Okay, now try these." "Ah, candy!" "Mmmm, these are so..." "So hot, what are these?" "Choo-Choo peppers." "They're burning my mouth." "I know." "You want some water?" "Yes." "Tell me the secret" "Of the bird scene." "I can't, and I need water." "Oh, fine." "Wait, Tori!" "Water." "Whatcha doing?" "Angrily throwing books" "In my locker, can't you tell?" "So did you figure out" "How you're gonna" "Decorate it yet?" "Yes, look," "I put a stripe on it." "Did you see the stripe?" "I see the stripe." "Well, I don't know" "What to do." "Why don't you do something," "You know, creative and deep?" "What'd you do for yours?" "Come on." "Clear?" "Transparent." "I've got no secrets" "And neither does my locker." "Aw, that is creative" "And deep." "Yeah." "So, anyway..." "About the bird scene." "Later." "Hey, Trina, can you help me?" "I'm..." "Sorry, gotta get to lunch" "Before they run out of paninis." "Man, this is humiliating." "Agreed." "I can't believe" "You got us into this." "Let's get outta this." "Madame makee?" "Oui?" "We're gonna" "Have to drop this class." "If you drop this class" "Then it goes on your" "Permanent record as a zehro." "Oh c'mon," "You can't give us a "zehro."" "Why do you want" "To drop zis class?" "Look around, woman." "We're surrounded" "By dudes in tights." "It's just gross." "Hey, sorry I'm late." "Girl." "Hey, Robbie!" "Hi, Rex!" "What's doin'?" "Did you guys quit ballet?" "We can't," "Unless we want a "zehro."" "Well, I'm sorry" "You're feeling stressed." "Ohhh, it's okay." "I'm sure we'll..." "I'm sure we can..." "Would you keep doing that," "Please?" "Sure." "This is getting weird." "Hey, you know what's making me" "Feel stressed?" "Tell me, I'll kill it." "It's this whole" "Bird scene thing." "Ah, there it is:" "The ulterior motive." "Hush, puppet." "Mmhm-Mmh-Mmhm-Mmh." "You'll help me" "With the bird scene, won't you?" "I'm really not supposed to..." "Ow, he bit my hand." "Rex." "Take me to the bathroom." "I gotta pee now." "He's a puppet." "He can't pee." "You don't know what I got." "All right, class." "All right." "Which dancers would like" "To show me the routine" "We were working on last time?" "We would." "What?" "We got this, man." "You're a maniac." "Andre, Robbie, to the front." "Don't talk to anyone" "Till I get back." "Positions." "Begin." "Let's take" "A five minute break." "Please make it 10." "20." "Happy birthday." "Who's birthday is it?" "Somebody's, somewhere." "That's so true." "Where is Tori?" "Here." "Oh... you brought curtains." "Let's do this." "Very good." "Ladies and gentlemen," "Once again:" ""The bird scene" starring Tori." "Vega." "Vega." "It was 1934" "When my husband left me." "Alone, living on the prairie" "Was a dreary existence." "No telephone, no radio," "Only a large, majestic bird" "With whom I shared my feelings." "You see the bird too, right?" "Yeah." "Fantastic." "One day," "When I was feeling low," "I said to him," ""Oh bird, you can fly." "You can soar miles" "From this lonely place," "Yet you stay." "Why?"" "And apparently" "My question rang true," "For that afternoon my bird left," "And so went my spirit." "That was impressive." "So did I get it right?" "Nope." "But I just..." "I'd..." "I did too get it right." "Tori, listen." "I'm not trying" "To be disrespectful." "But, you know, how hard" "I worked on this scene?" "I made this costume." "I downloaded" "Special prairie music." "I even trained" "That crazy cockatoo to fly" "In and out of that window" "On command." "Not now." "Look, I know" "You're a great acting teacher" "And everything," "But I don't care what you say." "The scene I just did was good," "And I'm proud of it" "No matter what anybody thinks." "What?" "You just passed" ""The bird scene."" "But you said..." "Tori, the whole point" "Of the bird scene" "Is to teach a performer," "Like yourself," "To believe in your own choices" "No matter what others think." "We are artists," "And a true artist" "Does not define success" "Based on hu, hee, hee approval" "From others." "A true artist need" "Only please himself" "Or herself or itself." "You don't know what I got." "So, all three times" "I did the scene were delightful." "It was only wrong" "When you asked if it was right." "Drive-By acting exercise." "You're all elderly people" "Walking barefoot" "On broken glass." "Go." "You guys ready?" "Whatever." "Make what shine?" "It's the title of the song" "I sang in the big showcase." "Okay." "Whatever." "'Cause you know," "That's what got me here" "In the first place." "I don't like it." "Maybe the words" "Should be bigger." "Yes." "I believe in my own choice," "And I don't need approval" "From others." "Ah, the young female" "Has learned the ways" "Of "the bird scene."" "I still think it's dull." "Yeah?" "Well, then maybe" "I should make it shine." "Nice!" "Light-Y." "Okay, are we going to eat" "Or what?" "Oh, yay, food." "Come with?" "Sure."
