A Modern Twain Story: The Prince and the Pauper Page #6

---

Hopefully, you'll feel better in the morning.

Now, don't go anywhere.

I'll be back to pick you up

when they're through with you.

- Who?

- What?

- Who?

- Who what?

Who is going to be through with me,

after they're done doing what?

It's wardrobe. You're being fitted.

Oh, of course.

Oh, no way. That was Lady Elizabeth.

I can't believe I did that.

- You are a jerk, Eddie.

- I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to.

What?

You're the prettiest girl I've ever seen.

Ready, Mister Tudor?

I'm really sorry.

All right.

So you know what you gotta do, right?

You come out, you hit the mark.

"Oh, yeah." Water. Good.

Action!

Oh, yeah.

- Hit him again.

- Oh, yeah.

Give me more water!

Cut!

- All right, one more time.

- Oh, yeah.

That's great.

Let's go to lunch.

- Hey, where're you going?

- I'm going back to the studio.

What are you thinking?

You know he won't like you running around

down there this late.

Does this kid get to do anything?

I saw you on the posters in Tom's room.

Oh, don't start in about my career.

I don't want to hear about it.

And stop talking like you're somebody else.

You're freaking me out.

Why'd you go from starring in big movies

to just sitting on a lawn chair all day?

I said lay off it today.

- I just want to know what happened.

- I quit. That's what happened.

I don't blame you. Acting stinks.

Is your Pop getting to you?

You can't let him do that.

I left the business because I didn't like

who I was, not because I didn't like acting.

I was a nasty person,

especially to those people

who really cared about me.

And soon nobody would work with me,

so it all went away. It was all gone.

The people who I thought were my friends,

they were just tag-alongs.

The people who were really my friends,

they were long gone.

So I moved here, and here I stay.

Because I like this. I like this lawn chair.

It's not acting that stinks, Tom.

It's the person you become

when you don't appreciate what you have.

Look, just tell the old man

I decided to take a walk for a while.

- You can't go down there by yourself.

- I'll be fine.

Oh, come on. Come on, let's hang out.

We'll talk Stanislavsky.

Stanis-whatsky?

Look, I'm leaving.

Come in.

Yeah, the director wanted me to tell you

that today was a better day.

It's rare that we make it through a day

without any hassles from you.

He wanted you to know you did a good job.

He said keep it up.

- See you tomorrow? Don't be late.

- I won't.

Hey! What's up?

You'd better get dressed, kid.

You've got an appearance.

- An appearance?

- Yeah.

An interview to promote Spy Teen III.

You remember that one?

Oh, I'm exhausted.

Well, see, that's what happens
