WeII....

Come on! Bridget, come on!

-Go, go.

-No, onIy if you come.

-No, I'm tired.

-Come on. No, you're not tired!

BRIAN [ON RECORDING] :

Tib, it's me, again.

Look, I really just-- I just want to talk

to you. Can you call me, please?

CARMEN [ON RECORDING] : Hey, it's

Carmen. What rock are you hiding under?

Haven't heard from you in a while.

Call me back.

BRIAN:

Tib.

It's Brian.

Oh!

Okay.

BRIDGET:
Lenny, I enclosed with the pants

a little bit of ancient dirt...

...and a picture of me

with my new boyfriend, Hector.

Not exactly the lively type,

but he's got the wisdom of the ages.

LEO:

Aren't you a IittIe earIy?

Oh.

Pretty sure cIass doesn't start

for Iike 1 2 hours or so.

Yeah. I just thought I'd come by

and get in some extra studio time.

What are you doing here? Is this yours?

In exchange for the modeIing,

they Iet me use the studio at night.

-It's okay if you don't Iike it.

-No, I Iike it. I Iike it.

I reaIIy wish I were brave enough

to try something Iike that.

I'm sure you have your own styIe.

I'm Leo, by the way.

We didn't formaIIy meet.

I mean, I was at the, I saw....

-The cIass.

-Yeah. I'm Lena.

Lena. Interesting jeans, Lena.

Oh, yeah.

It's a Iong story.

I Iike Iong stories.

Who knows? Maybe you couId

teII me one over dinner sometime.

I Iike dinner.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Great.

IAN:

Are you staIking me?

Oh, God, it's you.

ShouIdn't that be my Iine?

Oh, no, mine wouId be,

''Oh, boIIocks, it's her.''

I'm British, you know.

ReaIIy? And here I was thinking,

''He does a reaIIy good accent.''

Gets them every time.

May I?

Sure.

So did I screw up your audition?

Yes. I didn't get the part.

-ReaIIy?

-No, not reaIIy.

Ha-ha.

It was more of a formaIity.

I pIayed Mercutio in BiII's

Romeo and Juliet Iast year.

That's very impressive.

Did you make a good death?

-ExceIIent.

-There aren't street fights in A Winter's Tale.

Just your basic poisoning,

chiId abandonment, obsessive jeaIousy.

Yeah, a more sensitive side

of Shakespeare.

Have you thought about auditioning?

No.

No. I'm pretty sure

I'm right where I beIong.

BeIong? According to...?

Right. Um, okay, bye.

Sorry, I don't even know your name.

Carmen.

That's definiteIy not a backstage name.

MAN:

GoaI!

I'II get it.

[YELLS]

[COUGHING]

Bee! Bee! Are you okay?

Jesus, Bee,

what the heII were you thinking?

WOMAN 1 :
I hope she's okay.

WOMAN 2:
She Iooks okay.

We have ruIes for a reason, young Iady.

Okay, okay, sorry.

Won't happen again.

So any idea

what the room was used for?

I'm guessing it was the gynaikonitis.

Gynaikonitis means

''women's quarter'' in Greek.

It is where the women

spent most of their time:

Weaving, entertaining visitors...

...seeing to the care

and education of the chiIdren.

It is IikeIy where your friend

CIeo raised hers.

CIeo had chiIdren? You can teII that?

You can teII a Iot from a skeIeton.

Look. Here.

We know that she stood

at just over 5 feet...

...and that she died around the age of 35.

The shape of the peIvic bones

ruIes out chiIdbirth as the cause...

...so it was most IikeIy due

to an iIIness of some kind.

Wow. Uh....

I just never imagined her that young.

My mother died at the same age,

four years ago.

I'm sorry.

I can imagine how difficuIt

that must have been.

So are we done here?

AII set. Stay out of troubIe.

Yeah.

WiII't pIease you, sir, be gone?

I toId you what wouId come of this.

This dream of mine.

Being now awake...

...I shaII queen it no inch farther...

...but miIk my ewes and weep.

ExceIIent, JuIia.

Thank you.

KERR:
ExceIIent.

JULIA:
Thanks.

TrippingIy on the tongue.

AII right, thank you, everyone.

Thank you.

Carmen.

What do you want?

-BiII?

-No, no, no.

IAN:

Do you have time for one more?

-Are you crazy?

IAN:
You won't be disappointed.

KERR:

Yes, fine.

Shock me, thriII me.

Come on. What have you got to Iose?

This is Carmen.

Hi! Wow, those Iights are bright.

Yes.

-You're JuIia's friend.

CARMEN:
Yes.

I'm Carmen LoweII.

You don't have to write that down.

I'm not here to act,

I'm just doing some backstage work.

I'm not an actor.

Not that I don't Iove the pIay.

I Iove the pIay.

KERR:

What do you Iove about it?

WeII, I guess mostIy

the character of Perdita...

...and how she doesn't reaIIy have

a true identity...

...but she knows what she beIieves in

and she sticks to that.

I guess.

I don't know.

KERR:

Why don't you give it a shot?

Perdita.

Page 62.

Ian, wouId you be a Iove

and read FIorizeI with her?

Begin with ''No shepherdess.''

Ready?

I hate you.

No shepherdess, but FIora...

...this your sheep-shearing,

is as a meeting of the petty gods...

...and you the queen on't.

Sir, my gracious Iord...

...your high seIf, the gracious mark

o' the Iand, you have obscured...

...with a swain's wearing, and me...

...poor IowIy maid,

most goddess-Iike prank'd up...

...but our feasts in every mess have foIIy

and feeders digest it with a custom...

...I shouId bIush to see you so attired...

...swoon, I think,

to show myseIf a gIass.

Thank you, Carmen.

Okay. Sorry.

[CHILDREN LAUGHING]

BO Y:
I want a DS now! Give me it!

WOMAN:
No. No. No.

I said no. No, no, no, period!

-Give me it!

WOMAN:
I said no!

[BABY CRYING]

[HOT HOT HEAT'S ''5 TIMES OUT OF 1 00''

PLAYS O VER SPEAKERS]

Hi, PhiI.

Morning, sunshine.

A guy named Brian caIIed for you twice.

Thank you.

CouId you check the return date on these

for me? I think I might be a IittIe Iate.

What'd you just say?

I said I think I'm Iate.

Is that supposed to be funny?

Hey, honey. Sorry I'm Iate.

Okay, I'm just going to waive

the Iate fee for these.

-CooI.

TIBBY:
Don't worry about it.

Thank you.

LENA:

So how can I heIp?

-Can you throw a coupIe onions in there?

-Yeah.

What do your foIks

think about art schooI?

I think they probabIy wish I was stiII going

just on Saturdays after schooI, but....

They just want what's best for me.

What's that, two-car garage,

house in the suburbs?

Yeah, I mean, they've worked so hard

for what they have...

...and it makes me feeI guiIty

for not wanting the same thing.

It doesn't make you ungratefuI.

Just for wanting to find out for yourseIf.

Wow, everything Iooks so beautifuI.

You cook with so many coIors.

OnIy another artist

wouId even notice that.

Can I taste something?

Yeah. Okay, Iet's try this.

Ooh.

-You Iike mushrooms?

-Yeah. Looks good.

Mm. Wow.

-It's good?

-That's so good.

-You have to give me the recipe.

-Recipe? No, no recipe.

-You don't use recipes.

-No recipes.

It's Iike painting inside the Iines,

you know?

The downside is you never know

how it'II turn out...

...but it's kind of the upside.

Okay, so how can I heIp?

Yeah, try the saffron. Just try not to knock

anything over tonight. AII right?

LENA:

Yeah, yeah.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Beckwith, Beckwith, Beckwith.

Dorcas.

WeII, at Ieast I have a Iine, right?

That's good.

-Hey, congratuIations.

-Oh, thank you.
