Get out! Get out before I call my dad!

He trusts you. You're his best friend.

This will be the end of everything.

What aboutyou? What will your dad think aboutyou?

Stop! Just stop it! That's whatyou said from the beginning!

Now, ifl tell what happened, they'll arrestyou and putyou in jail.

So, get out ofhere before--

B-Before what?

Before... I kill you.

Then they'd putyou in jail.

[ Both Laughing ]

Then I cry, cry, cry, and then I say with big emotion,

"I hateyou! I hate us both!"

[ Laughing ]

Such a lame scene. Butyou are really good.

[ British Accent ] Thankyou, darling.

Hi, there. Who areyou?

Uh--

Betty?

Uh, Betty, can I seeyou outside for a minute?

What is it, Coco? Your aunt called.

I was afraid ofthat.

She wants to know who's staying in her apartment.

It's just for a night or two, until she finds her own place.

I tried to explain that to Aunt Ruth, but the connection was bad...

and her plane was leaving, and she got it all mixed up.

I kept telling her that it was my friend Rita,

and she kept saying she didn't know any Ritas.

Look at me straight, sweetie. Coco.

She's very nice.

Honey, you're a good kid.

But what you're telling me is a load ofhorse puckey,

even though it comes from a good place.

Now, I'm gonna trustyou to sort this thing out.

Thankyou.

Don't make me out to be a sucker.

Louise Bonner said there's trouble in there.

Remember last night?

Well, sometimes she's wrong.

But ifthere is trouble, get rid ofit.

[Door opens, Closes ]

Is everything all right?

Is it bad foryou that I'm here?

No, no. Everything is A-okay.

Now, I've gotta fix that sandwich.

And my audition is in one hour!

[ Laughing ]

I hope I'm back in a couple ofhours.

And don't drink all the Coke. Goodluck!

Now, when I get back I'll keep the cab waiting, so be ready to go.

okay. Okay?

Voila.

Betty Elms,

I would likeyou to meet JackTuptman, my assistant;

Woody Katz,

who we have cast in the part ofChuck and will do the scene withyou;

Bob Brooker, our director;

andJulie Chadwick.

Now, our surprise guest,

LynneJames.

Alas, we can't afford her to cast our show,

but, well, as casting agents go,

she is the best.

Why, thankyou, Wally. Hello, Betty.

Very pleased to meet you.

This is my assistant, Nikki.

Oh!

And the ever lovely Martha.

Martha Johnson, whom you met out front.

Hi. [ Chuckles ]

So, shall we... give it a go?

Uh, would you like a water or a coffee before we begin?

No, I'm-I'm fine.

Well, then, let's everyone take a seat.

[ Chuckles ]

Betty,

why don't you join Woody over there and we'll play the scene.

Bob, doyou have anything you wish to say?

Something to Betty before we begin?

No. It's not a contest.

The two of them, with themselves.

so don't play it for real...

until it gets real.

Okay.

J ust tell me where it hurts, baby. What?

Hey, Bobby, I wanna play this one nice and close...

Iike we did with that other girl--

What's her name? The one with the black hair. It felt kind of good.

What doyou think? That's good, Woody.

Just don't rush that line again.

I told you, the line whereyou say, "Before what?'

Bobby, acting is reacting.

I just play off'em. They all say, um,

"They're gonna arrestyou," like that.

Then, "They'll putyou in jail." They all say it the same way.

So when they say it, I just react.

What's your name? Yeah, Betty. Betty.

Look, you don't rush it, I don't rush it, okay?

Now, we're gonna play this nice and close,

just like in the movies, okay?

Dad's best friend goes to work.

Bob?

And... action!

You're still here.

I came back. I thought that's whatyou wanted.

Nobodywants you here. Really?

My parents are right upstairs.

They thinkyou've left. [ Chuckles ]

So, surprise!

I can call them. I can call my dad.

Butyou won't.

You're playing a dangerous game here.

Ifyou're trying to blackmail me,

it's not gonna work.

You know what I want.

It's not that difficult.

Get out.

Get out before I call my dad.

He trusts you.

You're his...

best friend.

This will be the end of everything.

What aboutyou? What'll your dad think aboutyou?

Stop it.

That's whatyou said from the beginning.

Ifl tell them what happened,

they'll arrestyou and putyou in jail.

So get out ofhere...

before--

Before what?

Before I--

I kill you.

Well, then they'd putyou in jail.

I hateyou.

I hate us both.

I'm gonna take her over there. Yeah, big time.

Well, there it was.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, there itwas, all right.

Baby, you've got a way with you. Really.

Bob?

Very good. Really.

I mean, it was forced, maybe,

but still humanistic.

Yeah. Very good.

Really. Really.

Oh, I thankyou, Betty,

and I really mean that sincerely.

I mean, it was extraordinary.

You've doneyouraunt proud today.

I am going to tell her that frst chance I get.

Now, you and I...

are going to speak again very soon.

[Betty] Thankyou, Mr. Brown.

Thankyou, Wally.

I'm sure you all have a lot to talk about. We'll walk Betty out.

Oh, well, yes indeed. And it was our pleasure, Lynne.

Now, don'tyou be a stranger around here.

We'd love to haveyou here. Come on, Betty.

Thankyou again, Mr. Brown.

And it was nice meeting all ofyou. Bye.

Bye.

Wow! She's a slam dunk.

Where the hell did you find her?

God, that was awful.

Notyou, Betty. You were stellar, and I mean that.

But poorWally. He'll never get that picture made. No.

Wally's days were up 20 years ago.

You know Woody Katz is only doing it for a favor.

And the cast, I hear, so far is terrible.

Oh, God, terrible.

That poor old fool Wally.

He was very nice, and he seemed so sweet.

And Wally-- Mr. Brown-- is a very close friend of my aunt's, and--

Settle down, Betty. Don't get me wrong. I love Wally.

I ought to. I was married to him for ten years.

And I love actors, all actors.

We just get a little catty sometimes.

Now, we wanna takeyou across and introduceyou to a director...

who's a head above the rest.

He's got a project you will kill.

Knock right out ofthe park!
