Hi, welcome to Big Taters.

My name is Sarah.

Can I start you guys off

with an order of our freedom tops?

Sarah, you know the rule

about cell phones.

I'm sorry. I just... I was

just checking on something.

Yeah, well check it on your break.

Mario, where has she

been hiding that thing?

Put the car in drive, Charlie.

You're here for one reason

and one reason only

because...

You know the lines. Keep your eyes up.

I stopped going to church when I was 16.

- So I don't...

- Up, up, up.

I really haven't been able

to take my eyes off of Erin.

The word on the street there's

a rumor going around that she's...

...bicycle but sadly

I'm sitting here realizing

that I've never gone to take a ride...

Oh, hi, how are you? Good to see you.

- Hey, Sarah. Nice to see you.

- Hello. How's it going?

- I'm glad you came.

- Fine. Yeah.

And I'm glad you brought

your wonderful roommate.

- Suck it, Danny.

- I said you were wonderful.

- You coming?

- Hey, I honestly don't know what it is.

Oh, don't be coy. You're coming.

Yeah, come, and I'll tell you

all about my new project.

Yeah, it's really good. We've been

working on it for like the last two,

- three months now.

- Cool.

I'm playing Simone. She has the

best lines in the whole thing.

I've been writing it and Erin has been

providing some very insightful feedback.

I am honestly actually kind

of surprised to see you here.

- I thought you were avoiding me.

- Erin.

- Why would you think that?

- Because I "stole your role."

Okay, Danny do you want

to help me in the kitchen?

Yeah.

- I'm kidding, Sarah. Don't worry.

- Okay.

I didn't even know that you auditioned

for it and it was just a stupid commercial.

Honestly, it was kind of a

horrible experience anyway.

The director was a total perv and you

should be glad that you didn't get it.

- Okay.

- I'm going to get a drink.

- Sarah?

- Yeah.

Oh, my God, Sarah.

- Did you do something with your hair?

- No.

Are you coming to Performation?

You totally have to.

- Everyone's going to perform something.

- Oh, perform?

Yeah, we'll finally get to see these acting

chops that we've heard so much about.

Okay.

I like your shoes, Sarah.

...I'm no ginko but I am Poe.

The Rosebowl's got a table of them.

Hey I had to find the film

- but it works great.

- Oh.

- Here, check this out.

- Oh.

- That's sexy right?

- Yeah.

Danny and I are making a dark room

so we can do all the processing.

That's cool.

Well, we were going to do a gallery

show but it's just so much easier

to put that sh*t on Instagram.

It's just a way bigger audience.

Are you kidding me?

Beer on my butt.

- Are you okay?

- Dudes, don't.

Nip slip.

Sarah.

- Hey, Sarah, hey you alright?

- Yeah. Yeah.

Hey listen, so about this script

that we were talking about earlier,

I was wondering maybe you and

I could get together sometime and...

Oh, my God.

- What's going on?

- Oh, this ad for a role.

- They just called me in for an audition.

- What? Really?

- That's great. Congratulations.

- No, way, cool.

- That's cool.

- Thank you.

What is the role for?

It's this movie called

The Silver Scream.

Oh, my God.

I hope that's a working title.

- What?

- It's really cool.

Chloe did not get fed up

and just take off.

She's not out on another one of her,

benders.

She's not out on another

one of her benders.

Something happened to her.

I, I went to her...

I... I...

I went over to her trailer and I...

Sorry.

I, I went to...

I...

I went to...

I...

Oh, oh, God.

I'm... I'm...

Sarah Walker.

I'm Sarah Walker.

I'm Sarah Walker.

Hi, Sarah.

I brought a headshot.

That won't be necessary.

We have your digital file.

Yeah, of course. I just thought

you might want a hard copy.

What you do in this room right now

will render that headshot null and void.

When you exit this room you will

either have made a lasting impression

or blend into the sea of thousands of

forgotten girls who pass through these halls

every day.

A photograph won't change that.

Okay.

Well, hopefully you'll see something in me

because I know I'd be great for this.

I grew up on scary movies

and I'm an actor obviously.

So I, I think I'd be pretty good.

Don't tell us, Sarah. Show us.

Chloe didn't get fed up

with the shoot and just take off.

She's not out there

on one of her benders.

- Something happened to her.

- Happened to her, like what?

I went to her trailer after everyone said

that she took off and I found this.

- And?

- Her dad gave her this, Chaz.

On the morning of her birthday

before he left for work

- when he still lived in Long Island.

- So?

So her birthday is September 11. Her dad

died that morning in the World Trade Center.

She would never leave without this.

- No way, not ever.

- Okay, so she wouldn't leave without it.

I mean, that still doesn't mean

something happened.

Well, that's not all.

When I was in her trailer

I-I heard a shuffling and then I saw

something out of the corner of my eye.

Don't say it. Don't tell me you're

believing these stories now too.

I turned. I saw her, Chaz.

- Saw who?

- Chloe.

So she's still here.

It was her...

only it wasn't.

- Thank you, Sarah.

- No problem.

We'll be in touch.

Okay.

Do you have any notes for me?

I can do it again, different if

you didn't like what you saw.

We saw what we needed, Sarah. Thank you.

F***. F***. God. F***.
