That just never comes up? Okay, fine, let's say that's believable
Then here's the thing, Omid
If you're really someone who doesn't believe
in picking and choosing the things to believe in your religion
sorry, I'm pretty sure it's against your religion to date a Jew
Well, actually
- Oh, shit, hey! - Hey, Danielle, nice to meet you
No shit! Congrats!
Are you doing anything right now?
Actually, I have to run, but I will text you this week
- Yeah, okay, alright, okay - We'll catch up
- Yeah - Bye, thank you!
- Hey, so sorry to bother you - Hi
Hi, so sorry to bother you, I just
- I wanted to say that that was amazing. - Oh thanks!
- You are incredible. - Thank you
I've actually been a huge fan of yours for awhile
That's so sweet
No, I mean, she's [underratedly]
one of the hardest playwrights to get right,
and you were just...
- I appreciate it - No, I mean it
I believe you
- Well, have a great night. - You want to go get drunk with me?
- Wait, what? - I'm going to go get drunk
Come with me?
Or not
No, no, no, I'm game, I'm game
You're gay?
- I'm game. - Oh, game! G-A-M
But that, too
- I hate LA - I love LA, I love it!
Sunshine, it's a real drug
- It's a real thing - What else, other than that?
Well, obviously the food is better
- Uh-huh - And it's more anonymous
you don't run into people you don't want to see that often
Yeah, because you're trapped in that disgusting car the whole time
and traffic, and fucking smog
- Yeah, the driving's hard, but - Earthquakes!
But I like it
Not a single earthquake the entire time I was there
How much time have you spent there?
- Just like... two weeks - Just like two weeks
Pretty shocking
Yeah, you have to actually live in a place
You'd kill it out there
So many parts for 14 year olds
- I'm 23 - Yes, I know, you told me already!
Like four times
- I wasn't sure you heard me - I did
You're cute
- Carmen? - Yeah
Come in!
- Sarah, you were brilliant! - Oh my god! Stop!
You just like wiped the floor with my heart
Sarah
- Hi. - Hi
- Thank you so much for coming - You were great
You want to get a drink? Can I buy you a drink?
- Yeah. - What's wrong?
Nothing
Literally, the worst
So dumb, it's so dumb!
The play is good, but everything I'm doing
it's just like [drastically, drastically] bad
- I mean it! - You're hilarious
I'm sorry you wasted two hours
Come on, you know it was not terrible
What?
- No that's-- - You were good
Sarah
What?!
Are you asking for notes?
Yes
- No, I'm not going to do that, not fun. - Why?
What is this, theatre camp? I'm your theatre camp counselor?
- No way! - Oh my god!
- You hated it! - Yeah, fucking hated it
I wanted to kill myself the entire time, watching you was the worst!
- You were like-- - Thank you
No, no, I'm not done
You were like if the governor of California had a baby
with that guy from [Gossip Girls], that would be you
- And that's what it was like - Thank you
- Is this turning you on? - Yeah, don't stop
Seems like it
If you want water or anything, just let me know
Look, you're good, alright?
You're a good actor
- What? - Really
You're just saying that
I'm going to fucking kill you
Stupid cunt!
- Thank you. - Take the compliment
I'm serious, okay?
Okay
- So? - What?
Did you notice a difference between this time and last?
Yeah, it was way more precise than last week, obviously
- Yeah? - Yeah!
Honestly, just don't think about it!
Danielle, I can handle constructive criticism
I'm sure you can
but obsessing about it is not going to help, you know?
It's just what if I'm one of those actors who can only do one thing?
Oh my god, I'm sorry, but when you downplay yourself like this
it makes me feel like all you want
is for me to emphatically compliment you
No, I'm not asking you to compliment me
I'm just telling you how I feel about the show
because I feel like I can be open with you
Well that's really great
- I think you should take a deep breath-- - Great
You're asking my advice? That's my advice
Take a deep breath, and don't think about it
Love you, I still can't believe
I'm just so happy to be in one of your plays
- Oh stop! Good night! - Good night
There's a really good club around here that I love
She hates me
- Are you kidding? - Because I'm ruining her play
You're the best thing about that play
Have you ever done Molly?
I've got some really good shit. I think you'd be really good at it
- You don't have to work tomorrow - Sorry, I'm not really in the mood
Alright, let's just get crunk, then
Or we can do this if you want
Hey, that's-- I didn't say anything!
Yeah
Listen, if I have to have this façade
of being confident or something, in front of you, then
Maybe you're not insecure, though
Maybe you think you're really fucking amazing
and people just aren't giving you the kind of praise
that you think you deserve
Sorry
- What? - Are you not feeling this?
No, I am, this is great, this is great
Obviously, it's not great
It's totally fine, we don't have to
I don't know what's wrong with me
What are you thinking about?
- This fucking play! - Seriously?!
I know, I know, I know you don't like talking about it
Uh-huh
I feel like you think I'm a bad actor
I feel like you're withholding your thoughts
and it makes me feel like, why do you even like me?
Why would I be here?
I told you, you're great! You're great! You're great!
You need to learn how to fucking listen!
I do listen
Okay, how many living parents do I have?
What?
You've never told me that
Okay, well this is something that everyone close to me knows
- Well, it's never come up - Right
Okay, okay
Okay, tell me, tell me about your parents
It was just an example!
Okay, well I'm sorry! I know, I'm a bad listener
but I'm listening now, so please tell me
I want to know, please
Please! Tell me!
Okay
My dad died when I was really young
and my mom killed herself when I was 20
I'm so sorry
Thanks
Thank you
I couldn't even imagine
The worst thing that's ever happened to me
was when my grandma died, and
I'm sorry
Bye
