For Your Consideration Page #2

- Question...

...would it surprise you to learn

that I am one-eighth mighty Choctaw?

- It would--

- Question...

...would it astound you to learn

that here on the set, I am Corey Taft...

...but when I'm at home, I'm Jo-Jo?

Picture's up.

- Roll sound.

- Sound speed.

And dolly.

And action.

She's not coming.

She's not coming home

to see her sick mother.

She'll be home.

And you, Shmuel?

How long do you think you can stay?

I don't rightly know, Daddy.

Long as it takes, I expect.

The Navy's pretty accommodating

about things like illness...

...and death.

Your mama was so happy

to see you today.

Oh, I know she couldn't show it...

...but she was kvelling in her own way.

She smiled,

but I don't know if she knew who I was.

Your coming home today

was a dang mitzvah, is what it was.

It ain't no mitzvah, Daddy.

It's family.

It's what a son does for his mama.

And what does a daughter do

for her mama?

Your sister ain't been home

in nigh onto 12 years.

I don't give two hoots

what Doc Silverstein says.

It was your sister

that put your mama on her deathbed.

I know Rachel, Daddy.

And she'll come home to see Mama.

And she'll come home

because it's Purim.

We all know what that means to Mama...

...or meant.

Was that Rachel's voice I heard...

...or am I just going meshuga?

Mama!

And cut.

Okay, everybody,

stay where you are, please.

That's a cut.

I thought it was great.

It's fantastic.

I just have a couple of suggestions.

You guys were great.

Simon, the move is too fast,

so we're gonna have to slow it down...

...and I wanna add one thing,

so just watch for a second.

Marilyn, you had a swooning,

kind of a fainting move which I love.

It's great. I love the eyes rolling back.

I want you to add one more thing,

something more...

...almost from the bottom

of your womanhood to make it a:

So let-- Let me--

- Let me see what that would look like.

- Okay.

Exactly. And Brian, I love that thing.

Let me see that, just that flash.

No, not the intake of breath,

just the eyes flashing as if:

"Mommy is going now?"

So this is gonna be great.

Whitney? Hi there.

- Can I talk with you for a moment?

- Oh, yeah.

Hi. You okay in there?

- Not interrupting a meal or anything?

- No.

Sorry I'm on this thing. I hurt my back.

- I fell over the side of an escalator.

- Great.

Whitney, I have to tell you that

I have been a publicist for 20 years--

Fifteen and five strapped to the gurney.

I have never experienced

the hostility that this little picture...

...which I think is a charming show,

is engendering in the community.

I've had hang-ups.

I've had rude-- Rude responses.

- That's not what I'm getting on this one.
