like, shockingly underdeveloped.

Same thing

happened to my dad.

Well, whatever.

I'd f*** him.

Your dad?

Ew.

Ooh, you b*tch.

Wasn't Grant amazing?

Yeah, I guess so.

Maybe

we should just go.

After you made me

wait 20 minutes? Uh-uh.

You're going up to him

and introducing yourself...

when he comes out.

Okay.

There he is.

Well, I don't want him

to think I'm a freak...

for coming to his show

the night before.

Didn't you once tell me

that I should support you...

in everything it is

you want to do?

This is what you want to do,

so I'm supporting you.

- Okay?

- Okay.

- Go.

- Okay, okay, okay.

Grant, hey.

Hey.

- Where are we going?

- I so need a drink.

Oh, my God.

This woman in the first row...

What was that?

I don't... I...

I don't even know.

Don't you come toward me

another step, Stanley.

- Or I'll...

- What?

Some awful thing will happen.

It will!

What are you putting on now?

I warn you.

Don't.

I'm in danger.

Let's stop there, folks.

Grant.

Donna and Gabby,

you're up next.

It's such an honor

to meet you.

I saw your play last night,

and you were brilliant.

Thanks.

Who are you?

Uh, Johnny.

Do you want to act?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Well, you're raw,

but you've definitely got something.

Has Miss Davis forced

Stanislavsky on you yet?

You should try

actually reading it.

I think you'd really dig it.

Oh, yeah, okay.

Thanks.

Uh, Mr. Matson?

Could I just have a second

of your time after class?

So you think

you want to be an actress.

Okay, well,

we could do some basic stuff,

movement, breath,

your accent.

Or we can cut the bullshit,

and I can tell you

how it really is.

- Um.

- It's your call.

Life lessons with Grant

or teen acting class.

Teen acting class?

Great.

Life lessons it is.

Get up here.

What were you doing up here?

I was trying to show how

Blanche feels about Stanley.

Uh-huh.

And what does Blanche

feel about Stanley?

Hm?

Well...

I think that she's afraid.

I think

that she feels threatened.

At the same time, I think that

she's also still drawn to him,

you know?

It's his brute strength

versus her femininity,

her power of seduction.

Okay, you're smart,

so that's not the problem.

But tell me something, um...

Alexa.

Have you ever felt threatened?

I feel a little threatened

right now.

Oh, that's good.

But no, I meant, have you ever

been afraid of being hurt,

destroyed, raped?

No.

You ever f***ed anyone?

Sorry, but I don't think

that has anything to do...

It has everything

to do with it.

You shouldn't be playing

Blanche DuBois, honey.

You're a child.

Acting is not about

making up how you think...

someone else feels.

It's about having
