Do You Like My Basement Page #2

were to be the last thing you

saw while you were alive?

Well...

That would be horrible.

Just horrible.

Okay.

Let's leave it there.

Well, goodbye then.

Goodbye, and thank you very

much for the opportunity.

I know I froze down

there, but I just got thrown

by the atmosphere.

I've never been to a casting

session like this before.

Well, Chad, there's never been

a film quite like this before.

Have a good night.

Uh, Stanley!

Stanley?

Hi.

I was actually wondering,

would it be possible

for you to tell me

now if I got the part?

I feel like I didn't get it.

Well...

You didn't have the reaction to

the questions I was looking

for, so, I'm afraid not.

I can do so much better.

And I just got...

I froze.

You know, I dropped

the ball and I'm sorry,

but if you let me come

for a callback,

I promise I won't let you down.

Okay... When I do callbacks,

I'll let you try again.

I'll have looked at

the other guys by then, anyway.

Goodbye now.

Thank you so much, thank you.

Have a great night

and, uh, it was a pleasure!

Hello, this is Sylvia,

leave a message.

Sylvia

this is Dr. Schumann.

This is now the third

time you haven't shown up

for your appointment

without canceling.

I'm afraid I can't keep you

on any longer as a patient.

Tell your mother I said hello.

Silvia.

Stanley?

Yes, please come in.

So you're shooting the audition

beginning with my arrival?

Yeah, so we need to go through

to the living room please,

just around the corner.

Take a seat.

Thanks.

Can I just say that I'm

a little uncomfortable.

One with the camera,

which I'm sure I'll get used to,

but mostly with the fact we seem

to be alone in your apartment.

Ah.

I actually don't need anyone

else here for the auditions

and it helps create the

atmosphere I'm looking for.

Hmm...

I can't say anymore than that,

apart from I am not

a psychopath,

which would mean

nothing if I was.

I really am just a filmmaker

trying to do something unique.

You don't have to feel

like you need to stay.

Really, you're free to leave.

I suppose it would help if

I knew what the film was about.

Of course.

And I'm one of

the respondents to the ad?

Exactly.

I love it!

It's so f***ed up.

So can I take that as a yes?

You want to stay and

complete the casting session?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, I just got

freaked out a little bit,

this being New York City

and all.

Why do you love it?

Apart from it being

"f***ed up?"

Well, it's corny and hokey

but it's also pretty

sinister, I guess.

This is London,

Stanley, the Tower of London.

It's where they

used to behead people

and put their heads on spikes.

Ben, shut up.

Don't tell him stuff like that.

Here, get Stanley, look at him.
