Give them some time.
You cannot rush things.

I just need to talk to Marilyn
for a second, if you don't mind.
Sure.
Did you talk to
Harvey yet?
No.
Why?
Look, you're the only one I have
here that has any chance
of getting in that
Now I told
them about you.
Are you gonna audition?

(TV chatter)
Baby, don't eat that,
your cholesterol.
Well, shame on me.
Maybe if you
were here sooner
I wouldn't have to have
chips for dinner.
Well, it's Tuesday,
I have my class.
Right.
Belly dancing.
How could I forget?
What's that
supposed to mean?
Nothing, hey...
I think it's great
that you believe
you can still be
a dancer at your age.
I wish I had that positive
attitude.
So did you
find anything?
Why would you even
ask me that?
Because I have
a right to know.
You think I'm
not trying?
You think I'm purposefully
not trying to find a job?
You think...
I like this?
Sitting at home watching...
shit TV
and getting fat?
Harvey, I'm sorry.
Hey, sweet bird.
I'm sorry.
I'm an asshole,
okay?
I'm sorry... I'm sorry
to make you think
that I thought
you weren't trying.
Hmm?
How was your day?
It was okay.
How was your class?
Class was great.
Actually, I wanna...
Did you get
paid today?
Why did...
I'm gonna...
I'm gonna need
a little cash.
What for?
I'm just gonna go out and
blow off some steam.
Well, baby,
I just got home.
Come on.
I wanna make
appearances.
What if something
opens up.
I want people
to know I'm alive.
So this is like a job search? Yeah.
You know, this is how
people make connections.
Where are you gonna make these
connections, Harvey, some bar?
Where's your purse?
Where's your goddamn purse,
Marilyn?
Where it always is.
Don't wait up.
