Phoebe In Wonderland Page #4

---

And you were great.

You were awesome.

You definitely

won't get fired.

Fired?

Oh, yeah,

happens all the tlme.

Really?

Ever heard

of Kristen Vigard?

Exactly.

The real Annie,

fired a week before opening.

Andrea McArdle

went on to everlasting fame.

But don't worry.

You were great.

You were so different onstage.

How come you spit?

What?

I- I don't know.

I didn't used to.

Why do you want to play

a girl's part?

It's a play.

I can do whatever I want.

But why do you do it when

everyone makes fun of you?

Because.

So because for me too.

Sometimes,

I get this feeling...

...this feeling

to jump off a roof.

You want to die?

No.

It's what I feel like all the time...

...with the things I do.

I know I shouldn't,

but I can't help it.

It's like being on the edge of a roof

all the time.

Fired?

It won't happen.

Seven.

Three.

Five.

Twelve.

Six.

Four.

Turn out your toes.

Remember who you are.

(Hillary

Where's your sister?

And don't get fired.

Where's Olivia?

I don't know.

Are you trying

to get me fired?

The bus will be here

any minute.

I'm not going to school today.

Oh, why not?

I don't want to.

- I'm sick.

- Oh, you are not.

I'm sick of Phoebe.

What are you talking about?

You're so good with her.

Yeah, and I'm sick of it.

Please don't play

on the stairs.

Leave me alone.

Can't I have another sister?

What?

No.

Not instead of, another.

Or a brother.

No.

One that I don't have

to take care of...

...who hasn't got what she's got.

- Phoebe, are you all right?

- Go away.

Turn out your toes,

don't get fired.

What do you mean " got"?

You don't even know anything

that's going on.

What do you mean I don't know

anything that's going on?

She gets everything

she wants.

What does she get

that you don't?

You.

Phoebe, don't jump.

Leave me alone.

Turn out your toes,

remember who you are...

...don't get fired.

Ow.

Turn out your toes.

And remember who you are.

Now, now!

Faster, faster!

Of course, it takes

all the running you can do...

...to stay in one place.

If you want to go

someplace else...

...you have to run at least

twice as fast as that.

But if you run as fast as you can

and stay in one place...

...how will you ever

get anywhere?

You just say whatever you say,

don't you?

Everyone tells me that.

I don't mean to be rude.

It's nice to hear you

say those things.

It makes me think

everything isn't so fixed.

It's not.

Genius!

That's what my mother...

Phoebe, are you all rlght?

I was just talking

to the Red Queen.

You were practicing

your lines?

I thought you'd be glad

I was talking to the Red Queen.

I thought you loved

Looking Glass Land, Wonderland.

I thought we loved it together.
