Starry Eyes Page #5

Now you know that doesn't happen

very much anymore, right?

This is a great opportunity

for a young actress,

a great opportunity

for an actress with ambition.

That's me. I'm your girl. I will do

whatever it takes for this role.

Good, because we want

to offer it to you.

We think you could be great

in this role, Sarah.

I think you could be great in this role.

I agree. Truthfully,

I think I am this role.

I mean, this character has a dream

and she has so much potential.

Sarah, forget about all that.

This world is about the doers,

the people who don't just

talk about what they're going to do,

they just do it. And that's you.

Thank you. Thank you for saying that.

I worked so hard, you know.

Every week is a new class,

a new audition and I just never...

If you want me to...

to read more with...

other actors,

or another audition.

Sarah, this is the audition.

I told you before,

very, very few actresses

ever get to this room.

Sarah, you're at the gates.

All you need is for me

to open them for you.

I can make you a star, Sarah.

- You know I can.

- Whoa, no.

Let me out.

Let me out. Open the door.

How'd it go?

Not good.

- Maybe I should submit my headshot.

- Seriously.

I'm kidding.

- Are you all right?

- Oh, honey, I'm kidding.

Hey.

- Maybe you should...

- Yeah.

It was a f***ing joke.

Coming in.

What are you doing? Hey,

don't cry, hun.

What happened?

Everything was going so well.

I was so sure I was going to get it.

I quit my job for this.

You quit your job for this?

I was so sure. I was so sure.

Okay, wait a minute, what happened?

It was one final step

and I could have had it too

if I was just willing to...

Hun, willing to what?

Come on, you don't...

You don't mean sex.

I mean, he didn't say specifically what.

Oh, my God.

Are you being serious?

What a f***ing creep, okay.

Do people still even do that?

Well, no one out there does.

And I sure as heck don't.

And you don't. Okay?

- Okay?

- Okay. Okay.

Wait,

you don't wish that you did it do you?

It was a gateway part.

Sarah, it was two auditions.

I mean, and seriously, who gets

hired for a lead role that quickly?

Doesn't that seem a

little suspicious to you?

Listen, Danny was just telling me how

badly he wants to have you in his movie.

You should talk to him.

Oh, shut up.

What are they up to now?

I can make you a star, Sarah.

You know I can.

So I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.

I know that you were trying to help me

and I twisted your words.

I twisted them and...

Look, Sarah, I get it.

Really, I do. I'm not an idiot.

I know what town we live in.

I mean, you think you're the

first waitress I've ever had

that was destined for stardom?
