You just can't walk into my life like this, Rod.

My heart doesn't have a revolving door on it.

Annie, please.

I made a mistake, okay?

It was stupid of me to ever walk out on you in the first place.

Can I have a second chance, please?

Second chance?

I promised myself after you left I'd have nothing more to do with you.

Leave.

Please just leave.

But, Annie... No.

Get out.

Just get out.

Very nice.

Kathy, more anger and hurt and less rancor.

And Mark, not so whiny. He's sincere about wanting to get back in better

Sincere about wanting to change.

Okay, Scott, you'll be first tomorrow.

Thanks, everyone.

Hello, Mark.

She's angry at me again.

No. We know the usual testosterone -based sex is common, but I don't want

you.

Please. I don't pay good money for this class to work for a lay.

I'm trying to become a better actress.

I know that, sweetie. You ain't gonna sell me on that.

Why doesn't anyone take me seriously?

Take you seriously?

I'll take you seriously.

I'll take you in a clown suit as long as I can take you.

If you're not here to learn your craft, you should leave.

And if you intend to stay, show your fellow actors some respect.

What's it to you?

My time's valuable.

And if I think someone's causing me to be shortchanged, then I'll collect a

difference from them. In very painful ways.

You like it?

My monologue.

See you guys tomorrow.

That guy is funny.

What?

I don't know.

Maybe this accident is a pipe dream.

Why? Because some talentless smug who's led around by his dick insulted you?

No. I just don't think I can cut it.

You have more talent than most of your class, Cass.

What's a sudden attack of low self -esteem?

A bit of everything.

My job sucks.

My love life's a massive failure.

And the sleepy assholes in class keep asking me out.

to see if they can get in my camp.

And my acting, sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my time.

Well, first of all, all jobs suck at our age.

Secondly, love life, they're not all they're cracked up to be.

I've been alone and single, and I'm okay with being alone and miserable.

As long as, you know, you're keeping me company.

And thirdly, You have a lot of talent. Don't let someone, like, mark it in the

way of that.

Lighten up.

Thanks.

But we don't need guys to have fun, do we?

Boom.

Oh.

you

Yeah, just like that

I really appreciate you coming over here and being my sleep partner. Oh, no

sweat. No, I signed up for the class just so I could work with you.

Really?

Yeah, I thought you were really good.

Well, thank you.

Should we get started?

Yeah. All right.

It says here, you come in and put your suitcase down.

You're just back from the war, and I think you're dead.

You quietly come up behind me while I'm threatening up the cows, flipping your

arms around me and talking to me.

Do you think you can do it?

Yep. Do it.

I'll commit through this door right here. Sounds good.

Okay.

And I'll be fluffing up my pillows waiting for you.

Don't be afraid.

There's nothing to fear.

Don't stop what you're doing.

You know, back at night, I could hear the guns thundering off in the distance.

That would close my eyes.

And I'd think of you here, straightening up in the living room.

And you know, that's the only thing that would keep me going.

I know you're not really here. This is just in my mind.

Telegram said you were dead.

I know you're not really here, kissing my neck, touching me.

I'm gonna prove to you that I'm real.

Oh, Frank, it really

is you.

It really is me, baby. I'm home.

Who's your daddy?

Woo!

Okay.

um um

Hmm.

Yes.

um um

Wow.

Oh, God.

Oh, yeah.

room.

Oh.

No.

No.

What's all that, Lucy?

Mark, I don't feel you've made a commitment to my class.

Why, just because I'm a little slower on the uptake?

Well, yeah, you come on for Garrett every day.

Look, I have a job that requires I go out of time to speak to people.

Well, then, you know, maybe you should take my class more seriously, and then

you'll get over your fear.

It hasn't worked yet.

Well, let's try this exercise and see how you do.

Do you have a speech with you?

Sure. You stand right there.

What are you doing?

I'm taking off my coat.

Right over here.

I don't know about that.

I don't know if I can.

Are you watching me?

No. No.

Again.

Thank you.

Thank you.

um um

Thank you.

um um

Oh yeah.

Oh no.

I thought I could do anything.

Be anything I wanted to be.

And then reality reached up and smacked me down hard.

And I found out there were people around me who were better. Better looking.

Better prepared.

Better equipped to handle life and every little nasty obstacle it threw at it.

And that's when it all started to unravel.

First, I got passed over for a promotion that I damn well should have gotten.

Then my wife left me.

Said I was too wrapped up in my work.

Then I found out she was cheating on me with my best friend.

There was nothing I could do to stop it.

And that's when it hit me.

I didn't have to suffer by myself.

I didn't have to be isolated from the rest of the world.

In conclusion, I thought it'd be the rest of the world we hated.

Of what I've been going through.

And all the pain I've been feeling.

You know what I'm saying?

I've seen you two up since 19.

I think you can handle it.

Are you sure, Lucy?

Sure. Humor me. I know you guys can handle it.

Okay. Can you get together tonight? I have to work.

Yeah, sure. Where?

Where do you live?

820 Carthage.

That's three blocks from work.

Stay around nine?

Yeah, that's great.

Great. We'll see you next time.

Do you have to do that?

Do what?

It's getting different. What if the whole neighborhood sees you?

Well, then the whole neighborhood gets a good look.

What are you so excited about?

I just want a lot to do. I'm nervous.

Yank on yourself.

I remember a time when it got pretty hot. You liked it.

Good to see your eyes on everybody.

Amen.

There it is.

Not a problem.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

I know what Lucy thinks, but do you think I'm good enough to do a scene with

you? You?

You're great.

I thought I wasn't good enough to do a scene with you.

You can't be serious.

You've got to be the best one in the class.

No, I'm not.

You're dedicated.

You're always prepared.

Unless he hardly ever critiques you.

I put a lot of energy into it, I guess.

God, you're an amazing actor.

I'm surprised you haven't done a movie or a TV series by name.

I don't go on auditions.

You don't?

Why not?

Because I'm afraid.

I'm afraid people will laugh at me.

Then why didn't you go to class?

Because I like it.

Kind of an escape for me.

Yeah, I can get out of myself.

I don't have to be me.

Look, there's much of me to begin with.

That's not true.

You have a great personality. You're funny.

You're beautiful.

You think I'm beautiful?

Really?

The first day you walked into class, I found a class about asking you out.

Spending the evening with you.

Just talking.

Like we are now.

And even making love to you.

It's quite a confession.

I'm sorry.

No, don't be.

I had the same thoughts.

Really? I didn't think I had a chance on hell with you.

You never asked.

Why not?

Because I was always seeing those guys hit on you in class, and I just didn't

think I had a chance.

I never went out with any of them.

They just wanted to be with me to score.

They're only in the class so they can get with girls.

We're not interacting and acting the way we are.

The way we are.

I like the sound of that.

Yeah, me too.

You got me right now?

I love you

Oh, my God.

oh oh

I thought we just did.
