My shot, man.

What I dreamt of all my life.

She's in everything.

I'm playing a dead body in the murder
mystery. Cut it out, Doris. Yeah,

something pretty special here And you
can bet your life it's me Bruno, I won't

forget my friend.

What about our rehearsal? Listen, I
don't have time with this thing coming

You're gonna have to find somebody else.
Good luck, Miss Diva.

I'm too short. I don't have cheekbones.

And some people in this school are so
damn perfect.

And I can't hear... You can't handle it!

You've got big dreams.

You want fame.

Well, fame comes.

And right here is where you starve to
death.

You sweat.

That wasn't my fault.

Why wasn't it?

You were all sweaty. I couldn't get a
good grip.

Belle, bless you. I need it back.

I owe you one.

All right, class is missed. Hit the
showers.

You'll get it. Don't worry about it.

Easy for you to say.

Can you give me any tips, helpful hints?

All right, all right. Don't be so easy
on yourself, all right? And when you

a direction, just go with it all the
way. Fair enough.

Anything else? No, I gotta meet Bruno
for a phone call.

The truth.

I'm Ms. Hernandez, theatrical
representative, and I was wondering if

time this afternoon to see her?

Oh, well, I'm not so sure she'll reach
for the part. I just assumed you'd want

to see her.

Oh, of course I'm with the William
Arness Agency.

I'm, uh... My name?

Rizzoli. Marty Rizzoli.

Oh, the reason you haven't heard of me
is because I just transferred here from

.A., and I'm...

Semi -new to New York.

Hello?

Hello?

Guess we were cut off.

Oh, no.

I am so right for that part that it
hurts.

I totally understand Angela.

I saw Kate walk six times and each time
Angela had her big scene, I cried.

Can I say?

Life isn't fair.

It's their loss.

Look, why don't you come over to my
house after school?

Leroy and I are working on a showcase.

The sound, it's where you are.

Okay.

Only if it's okay with Marty Roselli,
he's my agent, and William Morris.

No problem.

It's a lot.

looks so evil. They got an unfair
advantage. They're dancers.

Coco's got an unfair advantage in
everything. You can't imitate Coco. You

do it your way.

Look at her.

She's in everything.

I'm playing a dead body in a murder
mystery. Cut it out, Doris. So what if

got a few parts? It's just a
coincidence.

You're very sweet and you're also very
naive.

Coco's got what you call a halo effect.

Do you know what that is?

No, but I'm about to find out. It's when
you do something really well that it

swaps over into everything else that you
do.

It's like having a halo around you.

So I can't just be as good as Coco. I've
got to be better.

And that's what I intend to do.

Had it easy long enough.

Well, I could play another two bars of
the other riff and then wait.

I don't know.

Coco, what do you think?

I don't know. Whatever.

I get more enthusiasm from my 82 -year
-old grandmother, and she's been dead

two years.

What is it? You're still on the
audition?

I just can't take it.

Coco, could you at least try?

Look, this may just be a project to you,
but this is my semester showcase.

It sounded very thirsty down here.

It's good timing, Poppy. We're taking a
break anyway.

Well, how's it going?

That's Coco.

Hey, personally, I don't think
Cakewalk's going to make a good flick

can you say that? With Charles McKay
directing?

I mean, he's a genius.

Yeah, but he puts something closed in
like that on screen, it dies.

Well, I'm sure he's aware of the
problems and he'll fix them.

The most important thing is that
Cakewalk has got heart.

Is this what he said?

Who? Kay.

Charles McKay?

I gave him a ride the other day. Real
nice guy.

He said he puts a lot of stock into what
regular people think about his movies.

Anyway, I told him I never saw Cakewalk,
so he told me about it. He said I had a

real heart.

How much stock?

Huh? How much stock does he take in
regular people's opinions? I mean,

take your idea about who to cast on the
part of Angela?

Coco, he gave the man a ride in his cab.

He's not going to cast a second lead in
his movie based on my pop's say -so. But

I know that.

But all I need is a chance to show him
what I can do.

Mr. Martelli, all you'd have to do is
tell him that, you know, a very talented

young actress would be perfect for the
part, and then just leave the rest up to

me. I don't know. I feel kind of funny
doing something like that.

Besides, there's a chance of me hooking
up with him again.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I didn't think it would work.

You know Edelstein's Deli?

Well, when I took McCann to his office,
he stopped off there for some Danish and

coffee.

He says he does it every morning.

Now, if you could happen to be there,
say, 9 o 'clock in the morning, maybe

could introduce yourself.

That's a fantastic idea.

Coco,

where are you going?

We can practice this later. I've got to
figure this out.

Oh, thank you, Mr.

Martelli.

She always like that?

Yeah.

Unfortunately.

Morning. Morning.

Two coffees, please.

Two coffees.

Oh, I'm for them, too. I'm for them,
too.

All of them?

Uh -huh.

Oh, and one chest.

It's him.

Coco, you don't have to hide your face.
He doesn't even know you.

I know what I'm doing.

Thank you.

Everybody step aside.

Make way for me. Give me room.

I think it's pretty.

I can see my name

You were right.

You should have hidden your face.

Fifteen coffees, an order of bacon, and
two scrambled eggs.

Leave going.

Doris.

Yo, Doris.

Doris. If I wanted to watch Godzilla Eat
Tokyo, I'd go to the movies.

Do I laugh when you're doing a warm -up
routine?

No, that's the problem.

Never mind.

I want you to focus.

I want you to tell me what you see.

Lady Macbeth, okay?

You ready?

Ready.

Come, thick night, and pour thee in the
dust of smoke of hell that my keen

knife... see not the wound it makes, nor
heaven peep through the blanket of the

dark to cry, hold, hold.

That Lady Macbeth had some mouth.

Yeah, but what did my body say?

Did you see Lady Macbeth or just me?

Looked like Doris doing funny things
with her body.

Why am I kidding myself?

I'm a round, soft -edged Jewish girl,
not a murderous queen.

Even Coco looks more Scottish than I do.

Doris, you look fine.

I don't feel fine. I feel like a walking
Twinkie. Family -sized falafel. How am

I supposed to be graceful with thunder
thighs?

Doris.

What are you doing now?

I am throwing out everything that's
fattened.

That won't help.

Why not?

That was my lunch.

We're not flaunting it. We're eating it.
From this side of the table, it looks

like flaunting.

You mean three beef tacos, beans, and
chocolate pudding for lunch?

Doris, you might be expecting too much.
You think food's going to disappear?

What do you expect, the whole school to
go on a diet because of you?

Why not? I go on fire drills with
everyone else. The least they could do

on a diet with me.

It's too bad celery doesn't have a
thousand calories and chocolate cake

Hey, now this one comes with two
desserts.

Give me a break. I feel like a rabbit.

I need the extra energy for dance class
stars, darling.

Yeah, I heard you guys really tore up in
Delhi.

Where'd you hear that?

All over. But every time I heard it, it
got more and more fantastic.

What really happened?

Nothing, except we acted like a bunch of
fools.

Only some of us didn't have to act.

Mr. Naravich, this letter came for you,
and it's marked urgent, so I thought I'd

better bring it to you.

There's no stamp on it.

It was delivered by a nice young man.

Thank you, Miss Burke. Oh, my pleasure.

Well, I'll be running along.

Enjoyed the show very much.

Not to mention the chutzpah.

Chutzpah. Guts.

If you can act, too.

Come to my office on Friday.

And read something for me.

Sincerely, Charles McKay.

It worked.

It actually worked.

All right.

How do you feel? I don't know.

Wonderful. Are you nervous?

No.

I had my shot, man.

That's what I dreamt of all my life.

Admittedly, you were wrong.

I wasn't wrong.

I said we acted like a bunch of fools.

How did I know that's what he was
looking for?

Coco,

what about my showcase rehearsal?

Next week!

It has to be ready by next week.

Coco! Hey!

Coco!

Coco!

Coco! Here!

You've gotten salmon. I can't eat now.
I'm too pumped up. You can have it. No,

no, no.

Look, you in a hurry. I need 30 seconds.
Listen, can I wait?

You a bakery? I have to take a number?
No, it can't wait.

Okay, 30 seconds.

All the rest of us, we screw up
sometimes.

We think we want one thing, and then we
think we want another thing.

But you never lose sight of it. How do
you do that?

I don't know. I just do my thing.

Coco, we all do our thing, but you do
everything right.

Call it a halo effect.

Halo effect?

I don't know. Maybe a lot of good things
are happening right now.

But don't you ever get lost?

Sometimes.

But I usually go to Bruno. He manages to
say something that puts me back in

focus.

Bruno.

Lots of times he really helps me.

Thank you for the 30 seconds.

Now go start the revolution.

Yeah.

Don't say I never did anything for you.

No potato chips?

I'm... Terribly sorry.

I've always been thoughtless like that.
I beg your pardon.

No big deal.

I hope I'm not bothering you.

Of course not. I'm thrilled to death to
see you.

I kind of need a favor from you.

And I know it'll mean using a lot of
time after school. And I know that time

very important to you. And I don't want
to impose.

No imposition, Coco.

Stop by after school and we'll see what
we can work out. Okay?

Thank you.

Dynamite, meet your battery pocket
floor.

Where were we?

You were saying how difficult it is to
relieve tension in our artistic life.

I said that?

I know no shame.

Either you're in charge of your body or
your body's in charge of you.

By telling that to the elephant man.

You've got to realign your priorities.
You have to redefine Doris Schwartz.

For no face fact, I am never going to be
a skinny nun.

I have certain appetite.

You're not dealing with it. You're
feeling sorry for yourself again.

You may have noticed that I have not
asked you for a single potato chip all

long. Good for you.

Is it okay if I lick out the inside of
the bag when you're done?

Soak. Lie.

Boo.

Do you know what imaging is?

Yeah, the P. Isadora School of Drama.

Imagine your appetite, okay, as a
terrible monster.

And imagine your willpower...

as a battalion of knights on white
horses.

Imagine what?

Your willpower.

Bruno, we're talking about my body, not
San Juan Hill. You're not helping.

Okay.

My hunger is a terrible, terrible
monster.

And my willpower is a battalion of white
knights.

Do they have horses?

Yes.

Now imagine that battalion attacking
that monster over and over again, right?

Relentless. They never let up. It's a
terrible battle. But they're winning.

They're driving the monster away. Are
you imaging that?

I'm trying.

It's not easy.

You're not trying hard enough.

Bruno, it's skinny people who eat
cheeseburgers for breakfast who say

like that. I am trying.

And I'm telling you, it's not easy.

My battalion... A battalion of white
knights is about ready to go draft

-dodging. Now.

Oh, noice.

Oh.

Doris, you've got to think of those
knights, Doris. They're fighting the

monsters. The monsters are losing.

The monster is faltering. The monster is
retreating.

and you'll turn into a pillar of salt.

As long as I have the salt, can I have
the pretzels?

You're not telling me I owe you people
anything.

You owe me as much as I owe you.

Poor black girl from the ghetto.

I am touching upon something bigger and
richer than the richest ladies living in

the tallest penthouses in the shiniest
cities on earth.

I have my songs.

And I'm not just singing for the black
people anymore. I'm singing for all the

races. And I don't just sing my songs.

They sing me.

That's it.

Applause, applause, applause.

I like it. It was good.

You really thought it was good?

Yes, I really thought it was good.

I felt like you rushed some of the
moments at the time. But, um...

I put that down to nerves more than
anything else.

Yeah, that makes sense.

You know, if this is just some kind of a
classroom exercise, I don't know what

the nerves are all about anyway.

Oh, I'm not nervous.

Coco.

Well, maybe a little, but... That's just
because me and Leroy, we're not really

talking.

How come?

Well, I was supposed to help him out on
this project, and I've been

concentrating a lot on this, and...

And I think he's a bit envious.

Of a classroom exercise?

Leroy? Well, it doesn't take that much
to get him mad.

And sometimes, being the new guy around
here, I have to tread a little carefully

myself.

You see, I know how the school feels
about you kids going out for

auditions.

Teachers read casting call notices, too.

Thank you for your help, Mr. Williams.

I'm touching upon something bigger and
richer than the richest ladies living in

the tallest penthouses in the shiniest
cities on earth. All right, Kirk, I'll

stop there.

Come, sit down.

How do you get to be so good and still
not have an agent or any credits?

Well, I go to the School of the Arts,
and that takes up a lot of my time.

Well, we've seen a lot of actresses,
singers, dancers.

Some more talented than you, some less.

Does that mean that I got a shot?

Yes.

I'd say you definitely have a shot.

When will you be making your decision? I
can come back. Well, I wish it was

strictly up to me, but I'm afraid it's
not that simple.

You'll have to do a screen test.

Have to?

I'd love to.

Now, this isn't a tryout for one of your
school plays, nor one of your movie

fantasies.

There are five girls set for this screen
test.

If you want a chance, you're going to
have to knock their socks off.

Do you understand?

I understand.

And I'll be ready.

Well, keep the script and leave a number
and we'll let you know when it's all

set.

Okay.

Thank you.

Hope it happens for you.

If it does, it'll mean big changes in
your life, like...

Quitting a school.

Moving out to the coast.

You are aware that she'll have to quit
school?

I knew that.

Yes.

Leroy, knock it off. Would you stay with
Doris?

Man, she's making me look bad. She ain't
dragging on but low gear.

Will you hush?

Doris, honey, what is the problem? You
do seem a little down today.

I'm just having a low energy day, Miss
Grant.

It's okay if Leroy wants a new partner.
Well, it's not okay with me. You two are

partners, and that's that.

Understand, Leroy?

Yeah. Good.

Now, sweetheart, why don't you go get
some fruit juice or something?

What for?

So you can at least work up a sweat.
That's what for, not scoot.

No!

What do you mean, no?

I'm just trying to help you get some
quick energy.

I didn't realize that nutritional advice
was part of this class.

Who's going to be my partner?

I am.

So zip up your lips and dance.

Six, seven, and a one.

How's it going, skinny?

Wonderful.

I just made a fool of myself in Miss
Grant's class.

Do I care?

No.

Because I finally lost some weight.

Toss, don't you think you're going a
little overboard with this diet stuff?

What diet?

Diets when you eat non -fattening foods.

I've been fasting for three days and
taking these.

You mean you haven't eaten anything?

Look, I'm fine.

Just feeling a little lightheaded,
that's all.

The important thing is that I lost four
pounds. Count them.

Four. Come on, you should at least eat
an apple or something. I got one in my

lock. I'm gonna go get it for you. No,
no.

I have a plan, and I'm gonna stick to
it.

I'll start working my way back to food
in about two or three days.

Just got to steer clear of Miss Grant's
class till then.

I'll be okay.

I'll be fine.

Here's the scene. Yeah, it would help if
the rest of the play was attached.

You should have screamed, Blake, for
cakewalk. How'd you get a hold of this?

Well, I have a friend on the crew
that... Why don't you save the tap dance

level with me, Coco?

If it'll be too much trouble, I can...
All I want is the truth, which you are

not giving me.

All right.

But if I would have come in here in the
beginning... Is this why you've been

nutting your other commitments, girl?

Do you understand how important this is
to me?

Yes.

As a matter of fact, I do.

Which is probably why I'm going to help
you.

Why don't you come by after school and
we'll see what we can accomplish.

And can we do that tomorrow morning,
too?

Tomorrow morning?

Yeah, before school. I mean, I can get
here by 6 .30. 6 .30? Coco, my heart

doesn't even start beating until 7.

Why don't we take it one step at a time,
okay?

Now, you've got two minutes before your
class starts.

Go. Get.

Okay.

you gotta get to?

Geometry, third floor. No way. I'll see
you after school.

I can't. I have a rehearsal already.

Well, what about our rehearsal?

Oh, I totally forgot.

You forgot?

Coco, I have to be ready in three days.

Listen, I don't have time with this
thing coming up. You're gonna have to

somebody else.

Somebody else?

Now?

Okay.

My mistake.

Good luck, Miss Diva.

On the whole, you did pretty well this
time.

Although some of you might look up the
word plagiarism for future reference.

Why don't you just tell us what it
means?

It means, in general, I prefer to read
what you think about your subject than

what Woody Allen thinks.

How come I got a B plus and a D minus?

The top grade is for grammar and
spelling. The lower grade is for

I know, but what's wrong with the
content of my cousin getting married?

All you talked about was the food.

I felt like I was reading an Italian
restaurant review. I wanted to know what

happened at the wedding. My cousin got
married. That's what always happens at

weddings.

I mean, how did the people feel? How did
they act?

Not how the manicotti tasted or how the
lasagna smelled or how moist the rum

cake was.

Doris, what do you think you're doing?

I just have to get a sip of water.

Doris, are you all right?

No.

I'm too short.

I don't have cheekbones.

I dance like a rock.

And some people in this school are so
damn perfect.

And I can't handle it. I just can't
handle it anymore.

Somebody get the school nurse. Hurry.

Move it.

Sorry.

She's been on this crash diet.

Oh, baby.

You'll do anything to get out of a snap
quiz, won't you?

Hey, you'll either drink it or wear it.

How long?

I think about a week.

Fasting three days.

You know, you and I have had some go
-rounds in class when I thought you were

being stubborn, argumentative, arrogant.

This is the first time I've ever known
you to do anything boneheaded dumb.

Dumb?

Very.

It's always people like you who say
things like that.

What do you mean, people like me?

You mean teachers?

Yes.

Then who?

People like me.

People are complete.

You're so great looking.

Stylish.

Put together.

Got a handle on everything.

Know what you're doing.

There isn't anything about you that's
unfinished.

Just together.

You know all about life.

And I know I'll never be like that.

Never be a lady like you.

I'm a slump.

Doris, the truth is lump.

Your mother is coming to get you. You're
supposed to stay here until she

arrives.

You know the difference between an adult
and a kid?

When you come up against something that
knocks you for a loop, you think maybe

it hurts so bad you'll never get up.

But we're older.

We've been knocked down enough by life
to know that we

almost are.

And when we do, we're stronger than we
were before.

And supposedly, the vindicated and
together lady would

give her right arm to be just half as
magical.

I heard about Dorit.

Is she okay?

Oh, yeah. They sent her home with her
mother.

Where have you been all day?

In my room.

We're going to have to work on the song
some other time, okay?

After the screen test.

Yeah.

Okay.

How do you feel?

And tingly inside.

Yeah. And I'm ready to blow them away,
Bruno.

We're all rooting for you. Really?

Sure.

Is there something else?

If you get this thing, you'll have to
move on and leave us behind.

Who said so?

Coco, you'll be a professional.

You won't have time for us anymore.
You'll have to cut the ties to survive.

Bruno, I won't forget my friends.

What good would it do me to make it and
not have anyone to share it with?

I don't know.

Maybe you should ask Leroy.

You been on the phone upstairs?

No, why?

Coco had her screen test this afternoon
and I thought she might call.

Guess I thought wrong.

My mother took me to see Dr. Zolan.

I hate going to see Dr. Zolan. He's
known me since I was a baby.

Still calls me Dodo.

How can you talk like that to a modern
woman?

What did he say?

Well, he gave me a lecture on the
five... Four?

Five basic food groups.

And then he gave me a diet that's just
dripping with health.

And then he told me that I was anemic.

How can a person be pudgy and anemic?

Doris, you just have to be more
sensible.

I mean, you can't go jump off the deep
end because of some crazy fad diet.

Dr. Dolan told you to say that, didn't
he?

No, Dr. Dolan didn't tell me to say
anything.

It's like you're not telling me. What
are we looking for in this junk?

Something that'll fit me. I sent all my
fat clothes off to my aunt in Seattle by

freighter.

I'll be lucky if I get anything back by
Christmas.

Not that Christmas is the highlight of
the year around our place.

Hey, you guys, Coco's back. She's over
in the dance room telling everybody

her screen test.

Sounds like it really went super.

Let's go see what happened.

Right behind you.

The hardest thing is what they call
hitting your mark.

And if you're off for just a little bit,
you have to do the whole thing over

again so it's right for the camera.

Why don't they move the camera? I mean,
the actor is more important than the

camera, right?

Well, I'm not going to tell them how to
do their job. I mean, not yet, anyway.

No, next week. Yeah, that's right. Next
week.

It did go well, though, didn't it?

Yeah. I mean, it'll be a while before I
hear anything, but whatever happens,

happens. I mean, I think I did okay.

Coco,

tell us what happened. We can't wait
until lunch. Well, I'll tell you after

Reardon's class.

We're going to hold you to that.

Coco?

What?

I think you know what.

I'll be late for Reardon's class.

Yo, Leroy, I can help you with your
showcase now.

Oh, Marguerite's helping me out now.

Doing a good job, too.

Good.

I'm glad.

Out, damn spot.

How'd I say?

One.

Two.

Well, then it's time to do it.

Hell is murky.

But, my Lord, by a soldier and a feared.

Need we fear? Who knows it?

When no one can call power on our
account.

Who taught the old man to have so much
blood in him?

Looks good. Looks very good.

More importantly, it was a heck of a lot
better than the last time.

Why don't you tell me what you changed?

Well...

Last time you said it lacked substance.

Do I really talk like that?

Yeah, well, I started thinking about how
guilty Lady Macbeth must have felt.

And then I started thinking about things
that make me feel guilty.

I just use those feelings.

What sort of things, if it's not too
personal?

The specifics aren't all that important.

No, no, no.

The specifics are important.

Because they're about me and Coco.

See, I can only look at things from
inside me.

And sometimes from inside, the world
doesn't seem all that fair.

Like, everything comes so easily
together for Coco. The dancing, the

And I have to work at it.

I have to work at it all the time.

And I guess when that screen test thing
came along, that was the final thing.

I really envied her.

And then I started to feel guilty about
all the bad things I was thinking about

her.

Then I just took the guilt apart.

I stunk up the joint.

Everything I told you about the screen
test was a lie.

I was terrible and it was my fault.

I got up there and choked.

And the harder I tried, the worse it
got.

So as I said, I stunk up the joint.

So much for the halo effect.

Why didn't you tell us?

Because that screen test meant a lot to
me.

And I know I have this image of being
this perfect person.

That all these good things are going to
come my way.

But I'm not magic all the time.

I'm just me.

And I don't know why I screwed up or why
I lied.

But I was afraid that if...

Afraid that you weren't everything that
everybody thought you were supposed to

be.

I'll make you a deal.

You be you and I'll be me.

And with any luck, we'll get back to
being us.

You deserve a patent.

Some say you should be flattened. Oh,
Manhattan, it's you or me.

You really needn't be combating while
living in Manhattan.

Where else could this have happened?

Said Manhattan.

child.

Thank you.
