MIA (CONT'D)
And I swear to God, she was wrecked. It
was pure lunacy. Oh God, I know...
Revision 4.
Her nerves are practically visible. As she talks, we PULL
BACK -- to see that she's auditioning for a CASTING DIRECTOR.
MIA (CONT'D)
No, no, Turner's fine. So you -- are you
waiting `til Denver to tell her...?
(as her smile contracts)
Oh. I see...
(silence; she clenches her jaw...)
No, you're right. I understand.

Mia, waving to the Casting Director: Yoohoo. Can I come in?
MIA (CONT'D)

Also redheads.
7 INT. MIA'S APARTMENT - EARLY EVENING
Mia enters. Exhausted. Heads to her ROOM.
Revision 5.
Old movie posters hang on the walls, including a big Ingrid
Bergman one over the bed. There's also a shelf filled with
acting books -- Uta Hagen, Stella Adler. Various other
trinkets:
an old globe, an old blue-and-red suitcase. Miatakes off her shoe. A blister on her sole.
8 WE CUT TO:
