If I walk,

would you run?

If I stop,

would you come?

If I say

you're the one

would you believe me?

So I'm guessing

you liked it?

You could say that.

Okay, that was good, but let's take

it again from bar four-twenty. Okay?

Denise!

We got in

with the label.

They want us to come in

and talk about our stuff.

Can you go?

Tomorrow, after school.

I'm supposed to have extra

piano... No, no, cancel it.

No, no. Cancel it, cancel it. Meet

me out front at 3:00, all right?

Sorry. This is it, Denise.

Our big break. I can feel it!

Okay. Sorry,

let's... Sorry.

So, I have

an audition later today,

but I don't think I'll go

because I'll never get it.

But you're working with

a casting director. That's huge.

See, that's what

I thought, too.

And they do get me

some auditions,

but I'm up against

the same 15 girls.

And they always

get the part.

Yeah, maybe,

but they're not Joy.

Yeah, well, me, I've got a lot of good

sh*t 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.

I would be honored

to take it on.

We don't often do shorts, but, in

your case, we'll make an exception.

Eddie, that's...

That's amazing!

Now... Now, let's talk about the budget.

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. Of course.

I remember you

from last year.

You did the show with

the monologue from...

From Proof, right?

Yeah!

Yeah, you were

really good.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

So how is P.A.?

I kind of miss it.

It's the same-old,

same-old.

But I've been watching you on your show.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Well, thanks. Yeah,

it's going pretty well.

I got a big storyline

right now, so...

Andy.

It's kind of blowing up.

We're slamming shots, bro. Yeah. Shots.

Give me one second. I'm

talking to Jenny. Um...

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.

Perfect. Well, it's so good

to see you. You look great.

Thanks. You, too.

All right.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

Bye.

See you.

See you.

Shots up.

Ready to go.

One, two, three!

One, two, three!

All we were doing

was talking, okay?

He saw my monologue

from P.A.

That's all we were talking

about. He wants to help me.

God, could you possibly

be that naive?

He's trying to hook up

with you, Jenny.

That's ridiculous.

He's a big-time actor.

He can hook up

with whoever he wants.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 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 A&R 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
