Before our next class,

bring in a picture of yourself.

Before you come

through that door,

tear it in pieces.

- I...

- I, I, I...

Alex, it grew even

more this week.

Bravo!

Invite us into your process.

Alex:
Well, cheers, thank you.

I've been doing a lot

of animal work.

And not just one animal,

but I find there's...

Different animals for

nearly every scene.

I'll go from being

a gorilla to a panther

in a matter of seconds.

It's just kind

of helped me find...

How erratic...

He is, I am.

He is so erratic.

You are so erratic,

but at times...

you aren't erratic at all.

When I was playing Estragon

in New York, in Godot...

- We all know Beckett?

- Tracy:
I know of the piece.

We were off Broadway...

Hey, buddy, you booked it.

You shoot on Monday.

This is good.

This is great!

This is f***ing fantastic!

They're excited.

Oh, they're very excited.

They couldn't stop gushing!

Alex:
Everything good?

- I booked a thing.

- Well, what is it?

- It's nothing, it's small.

- Well, we should celebrate.

You're not the only

one who booked.

You know, that thing

I went out for, I got it.

I didn't think

they were gonna hire me.

I'm going off to Denmark

in a few weeks.

- Denmark?

- It's so crazy,

they got me a work visa.

It's been so long

since I've been abroad,

- nearly a year now.

- Is it a big part?

My name's gonna

be on the poster.

Hmm.

How long will you be there?

Six months, eight months,

maybe longer, who knows?

He works fast apparently,

the director.

That's what everybody says,

but we'll see.

I might stay on a bit

and do some traveling

after we wrap, you know?

Maybe link up with some

buddies of mine over there.

I have friends everywhere:

Tunisia, Morocco, Chad.

- Chad?

- That's all in Africa,

but it's all so close, you know?

It's really just right there.

I mean, it feels a little

farther than it does on a globe,

- but I'm still figuring it out.

- Wow.

I couldn't have gotten it

without your help.

- You wanna grab that drink?

- I have to talk on the phone.

- I can wait.

- Please stop following me!

Excuse me, my car was towed.

- Well, you're not...

- What?

Simone:
The beard

makes him look a bit transient,

- like a migrant worker.

- Client:
It feels dirty.

Simone:
Oh, I like that.

You don't like that?

- My issue is size.

- Mmm.

- Mm-hmm.

- It's a lot of face.

It's a bit brutal.

It's kind of heavy, isn't it?

Maybe it's the shirt.

The shirt isn't going

to change the size.

Look, I agree with you.

I mean, it's a lot.

Mm-hmm.

Good, good.

Big smile.

Hold your breath.

Hold your breath.

Exhale!

Gloom, gloomy.

More gloom.

No, no that's not it at all.

No.

Uh, looks goofy now.

A bit more serious.

Uh, a bit more joyful.

Refreshed.

Morning.

No, not mourning, sunshine.

Oh, my god.

Can I get hair and makeup?

Cleo!

Where the hell is that girl?

His face is greasy

and the beard looks sh*t.

I think you're thinking too much

about how you see your own face,

when you need to be thinking

about what other people see

when they look at your face.

Not what you see

when you see your face.

What we see, not what you see.

Mm-hmm.

Looking a bit overwhelmed.

Need to take a break?

Let's take five.

Five!

What kind of fish is that?

Mackerel.

Do you need anything?

You smell like flowers.

Thank you, that's so sweet!

- How old is your son?

- He's eight.

My sister has a black son.

He's six.

That's wonderful.

I don't usually do

this kind of work.

Oh, what kind of

work do you usually do?

I used to live in New York.

Have you been there?

A few times.

Can I have

your telephone number?

Well, I don't like the eyes,

and you don't like the mouth.

Get off me! Get off me!

Get off me!

Get off me! Get off me!

- Get off me!

- Hey!

Hey, are you cool?

Is this good?

Are you good?

Uh, I heard screaming.

- I knocked.

- Isaac:
You didn't.

I did.

And you didn't answer

so I got worried,

I got so worried.

It sounded like

you were in trouble

so I wanted to come

here and help you out.

I wanted to make sure

things were good.

I brought my knife.

Hi.

I thought you were

coming back tomorrow.

No, back today.

I left you a message.

I would've picked

you up at the airport.

- Since when?

- I would've done it this time.

- Toby?

- How come

- you're always in black?

- I didn't know I was.

Did you do something

with your hair?

- A friend brushed it.

- Ah.

- Isaac:
I missed you.

- Ramona:
Okay.

Isaac:
We should get dinner.

Ramona:
I have plans.

- Isaac:
With who?

- Ramona:
Uh, a friend.

You don't know him.

- Toby:
Guys, should I go?

- You should stay.

Oh, my purse.

- Tomorrow night?

- Ramona:
I'm leaving again.

- Where are you going?

- Ramona:
Dallas and then Miami.

- I got a job.

- Toby:
Oh, what kind of job?

Commercials.

They took pictures.

That's just great.

Don't wait up.

- Isaac:
I can come with you.

- I have a car waiting.

- Isaac:
I can be ready fast.

- It's better you stay.

Do you remember how

pleasant the old times were?

What a gay, bright, gentle,

pure life we led?

How a feeling as

sweet and tender

as a flower blossomed

in our hearts?

Do you remember?

People...

Lions, eagles,

quails, horned deer,

geese, spiders,

silent fish

dwelling in the water,

and all those

invisible to the eye.

A thousand years have passed

since the earth last bore

a living creature to its breast.

And the unhappy moon now

lights her lamp in vain.

No longer do the cranes

awaken the meadows.

No longer do the maybugs

sing in the linden grove.

I hope nobody sees

her in the garden.

Isaac:
Hmm.

Mm-hmmm.

Mmm, mmm.

Tracy, what am I going to say?

That I'm bad.

I didn't know you

had this in you.

To be honest,

the only thing that kept me

from kicking you

out of this class

was that you look a lot

like this woman

I wanted to spend my life with.

Milky skin, wavy hair...

New York girl.

Absolutely astounding.

This is the type of work none

of you have come close to.

As you know,

next week is our last class.

We pick back up in eight weeks.

There's a sign up

sheet on my desk.

Alex:
How'd I do in there?

Not your best.

Ramona:
I'm coming back

a day early,

but I'm gone again right away.

Dallas, then Miami, who knows?

Anyways, I would like

to carve out a time

for us to talk when I get back.

I think we could

both use some space.

Okay, I hope you're well.

Man:
So, can I take

you somewhere nice or not?

Ramona:
I have a really

early start.

Man:
You're blushing.

Can I brush your hair?

Esther:
Isaac, it's me,

your mother.

Are you there?

I sent you a text message.

Did you get it?

Roger Lurtzman,

he does our money?

You know Roger.

He says you didn't deposit

the last check.

You still have it?

Let me know, because I can

cancel it if you lost it.

Don't put that there!

I just cleaned that.

- You can't see that surface?

- Man:
Thanks a lot,

- that's a big help.

- - Esther:
Oh, god!

Esther:
Call me, I love you.
