Nick: Hey! Are you okay? Lexie: Yeah, I’m fine. Tash: What the hell was that?Alex: Did someone die? Kaspar: No, it’s just a bit of a mess. Mele: It’s always a mess. Nick: What’s going on? J.B.: Some of us are still trying to get ready for our big day. Kaspar: We’re all on the same side. But we need to say that we got nothing to say. Tash: Come on, Kaspar. You know how it is. We’re all running late. Alex: Let’s go.Kaspar: Okay.Nick: What’s up, man? Tash: Hey, Nick. How’s it going? Lexie: Hey there, Nick. How are you? J.B.: Hey, Nick. How’s it going? Alex: Hey, Nick.

We have a lot of ground to cover. Nick: (motioning for everyone to follow him out of the bathroom) Nick: Yeah, let’s go. We don’t want to keep Leo waiting. The group exits the bathroom, following Nick towards the door. They pause briefly to let Leo out, then continue on their way. Kaspar: (to Lexie) Kaspar: So, what are you up to these days? Lexie: I’m an actress. Kaspar: Really? What are you working on now? Lexie: I’m doing a screen test for a new movie. Kaspar: That sounds exciting. Lexie: It is. I just hope I get the part.

Kaspar: (smiling) Kaspar: I’d love to take a look, J.B.J.B.: Great. I’ll show you around. The group follows J.B. around the gallery, admiring the various pieces of art until they reach the back corner. J.B.: (motioning for everyone to stop)J.B.: Here we are, the last chance. Kaspar: (looking around, then taking a step forward) Kaspar: (smiling) Kaspar:»You know, when I was a kid, I wanted to be an actor. I even went to a few auditions. But I was always too shy. I’d freeze up in front of the camera.« Mele: »Kaspar, you’re a natural! You just need to let go and be yourself.« Kaspar: »I don’t know. I feel like I’m not really cut out for this.«Mele: »Don’t be ridiculous! You’re amazing! Just trust me, okay?« Kaspar nods hesitantly. Mele: »Now, I’m going to put you in a little trance, and when I count to three, you’re going to be in character. Ready? One, two, three!« Kaspar:»I am not really cut out for this. I feell ike I’m not really cut out for this. I feel like I’m not really cut out for this. I feel like I’m not really cut out for this.« Mele: »Kaspar, you’re doing great!
