Love After Love Page #6

I think I'm on the line.

- You're on the line?

- I am the line.

You are the line. Okay.

And besides yourself, what other

characters feature in the book?

Well, there's historical

figures, so there's James Weeks

who founded

the Weeksville settlement.

Um, there's

my roommates, who..

Um, I don't know, it's really a..

That's a Diego question.

Or Rebecca. She's in..

Uh..

Well,

by day's end at least.

No, I... I... I like it,

too. I just..

No, but that's... that's what I'm saying.

I like it too.

I just can't go

any further until

we have a... a... proper

conversation about it.

No, with everybody.

[laughing]

- Knock, knock.

- Hey! Nick said you were here.

- He's stuck on the phone.

- Oh. Come in, come in.

Honestly, I... I... I don't even

care if it is. That's your problem.

Yeah, I heard that.

All set?

Okay.

[chuckles]

- Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[indistinct chatter on TV]

[music continues]

Suzanne, they're ready

for you downstairs.

Okay, I'll be right down.

"Yes, we shall live,

Uncle Vanya.

"We shall live all through the

endless procession of days

"ahead of us and through

the long evenings.

"We shall bear patiently the

burdens that fate imposes on us.

"We shall work without rest for

others, both now and when we are old.

"And when our

final hour comes..

"...we shall meet it

humbly..

"...and there,

beyond the grave

we will say that we have known

tears and suffering ..."

Okay. very good.

Um, Thank you, Ashleigh.

Uh, that's, uh..

Who... who wants

to go first?

- Suzanne?

- I have nothing to say.

- Is that good?

- No.

O... okay. Is that all

you're gonna say?

We've done this once a semester

for three years, Ashleigh.

Done what?

This is not the outfit of someone who

takes herself or her work seriously.

- Oh, come on, Suzanne.

- Excuse me.

I take this very,

very seriously.

And I'm trying

really hard.

Oh, Lord, help me.

Why are you so mad?

If you want me to wear

a sweater, I will.

I don't want you

to do anything.

- Why are you yelling at me?

- I'm not yelling...

Yes, you are.

- You're yelling at me.

- I'm not yelling at you.

I'm trying to help you.

Okay, um..

- Suzanne, I think your point's been made.

- Scott! Stop it.

Let's just move on.

Karen. What?

- Stop undermining me.

- Oh, okay.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, Karen.

- It's okay.

- Go ahead.

I... I don't think the

outfit is, is that bad.

If we're approaching this

practically, we have to be open

and... and supportive of the

possibility that, in some cases

and certainly for a beginning

actor, especially for a woman

there is a certain value placed

on physical appearance...
