DAPHNE:

What if my dad’s right? What if I

have no talent?

AARON:

First of all, he said you hadtalent. He just said there’s notenough customers. Which there are,

by the way. Forget I mentioned it.

DAPHNE:

Maybe this is all just sh*t shitshit and sh*t. I just want tobreak it all and start over again.

AARON:

Are you kidding? This is so super

pretty.

REVEAL they’re discussing a sculpture of a bloody, screamingwoman holding a bloody, screaming baby. It’s more terrifyingthan pretty. She definitely has talent, a dark weird talent.

DAPHNE:

AARON:

Let’s make a game plan. Rent a

when I’m being a b*tch and youdon’t say I’m being a b*tch you’rekeeping a part of yourself closedoff from me. Feel free to be

honest and tell me when you’reannoyed at me.

AARON:

I’m being totally honest. That’s

me. You’re too perfect.
