BRIDGET, I JUST HAD A VERY INTERESTING TALK

WITH YOUR GUIDANCE COUNSELOR.

IT WAS PARENT-TEACHER NIGHT FOR ME, TOO.

OH, I'M SORRY, HONEY, I-I KNOW.

HONOR ROLL AGAIN. I'M SO PROUD.

THANKS, MOM, IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME.

KERRY, NOT NOW. I'M TALKING TO YOUR SISTER.

I HATE BEING THE MIDDLE CHILD.

I HATED BEING A MIDDLE CHILD, TOO,

BUT I GOT OVER IT. HOW?

ATTRITION.

NOW I'M THE OLDEST. IT'S AWESOME.

NOW, BRIDGET, I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN HAVING A ROUGH TIME.

WE HAVE ALL BEEN HAVING A ROUGH TIME,

BUT JUNIOR YEAR IS THE MOST IMPORTANT YEAR

FOR COLLEGE APPLICATIONS.

DON'T WORRY, I'M ON IT. EYEBROWS.

MOM, I THINK WE SHOULD ALL BE GRATEFUL

BRIDG GOT INTO HIGH SCHOOL.

SEE, LAST YEAR, I HAD, LIKE, AN ARCH THING GOING ON,

AND I THINK THAT MADE ME LOOK KIND OF SLUTTY,

YOU KNOW, IN A BAD WAY.

AND SO I REALIZED -- IT'S SO OBVIOUS --

I NEED SMARTER EYEBROWS.

SO, HONOR-SOCIETY BRIDGET.

HMM...I LIKED IT BETTER WHEN YOU FAILED MATH

AND WERE SUMMER-SCHOOL BRIDGET.

NOW, LOOK, HONEY, AS MUCH AS WE LIKE

YOUR SMARTER EYEBROW IDEA,

AND WE ALL DO, RIGHT?

OH, IT'S GENIUS. OH, RIGHT. UH-HUH.

BUT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE

TO GET INTO A GOOD COLLEGE,

LIKE BEEF UP THESE TRANSCRIPTS

WITH SOME EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES.

HONEY, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING TO DO.

LIKE KERRY. KERRY IS IN THE DRAMA CLUB.

IN FACT, MAYBE KERRY COULD GET YOU INTO THE DRAMA CLUB.

WAIT A MINUTE, DRAMA CLUB IS MY TURF.

THESE PEOPLE ARE MY FRIENDS.

THIS IS WHERE I PAINT SCENERY...

IN THE CORNER, ALL ALONE,

WHERE PEOPLE CALL ME "TERRY."

I HATE DRAMA CLUB.

YEAH, MOM, AND I'M SMART ENOUGH

TO KNOW I'D HATE IT, TOO.

THEN MAYBE YOU'D LIKE TO JUST CHANGE BEDPANS WITH ME AT THE HOSPITAL.

OKAY, YOU KNOW, I COULD BE AN ACTRESS.

YOU KNOW, I-I DO LIE TO YOU ALL THE TIME, AND YOU ALWAYS BUY IT.

WHAT?!

SEE, LIKE RIGHT THERE, YOU JUST BOUGHT THAT LIE!

I AM A GOOD ACTRESS.

MOM, IT'S NOT THAT EASY.

LOOK, I BUILD SETS AND I PAINT SCENERY, BUT IF YOU WANT TO ACT,

IF YOU WANT EVEN JUST ONE LINE,

THEY MAKE YOU DO ALL THE CRAPPY WORK

LIKE BUILDING SETS AND PAINTING SCENERY.

I HATE DRAMA CLUB.

WELL, AND NOW, HONEY,

YOUR SISTER IS GONNA START UNDER YOU.

I GOT THE LEAD!

YOU GOT THE LEAD? YOU GOT THE LEAD?

SHE GOT THE LEAD.

WHAT'S THE PLAY? "ANNIE."

IT'S "THE STORY OF ANNE FRANK," YOU IDIOT!

WHATEVER.

ALL I KNOW IS I GET STUCK IN A ROOM

WITH A REALLY CUTE BOY I HAVE TO KISS.

I CAN SO PLAY THAT.

IT'S ABOUT NAZIS. THEY'RE HARDLY EVEN IN IT.

THEY COME IN AT THE END.

HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW ABOUT ANNE?

SHE WAS SMART, SENSITIVE, AND AN ARTIST.

OH, SENSITIVE AND AN ARTIST?

WOW, THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE WHO...

PAINTS SCENERY IN DRAMA CLUB.

NOW, LOOK, WE NEED TO BE SUPPORTIVE.

WE SHOULD BE CELEBRATING.

YOUR SISTER GOT THE LEAD IN..."ANNE FRANK"?!

I'M JUST REALLY GLAD IT'S NOT "ANNIE,"

'CAUSE, YOU KNOW, CURLY, RED HAIR? NOT A GOOD LOOK.

BRIDGET! THAT WAS MY TURF!

NOW, TERRY, STOP -- I MEAN, KERRY, STOP IT.

JUST 'CAUSE YOUR BIG SISTER GOT THE LEAD IN THE WHOLE DAMN PLAY,

THAT DOESN'T DIMINISH YOUR PAINTING

THE SCENERY AND WHATNOT.

I DO MORE THAN PAINT SCENERY, YOU KNOW.

I DESIGN THE PROGRAMS AND THE FLYERS.

I PULL THE LITTLE CORD.

I HATE DRAMA CLUB!

RORY, WHERE'D YOU GET THE DUMMY?

WELL, IT'S AN INTERESTING STORY.

SO, WHO'S THE BROAD?!

WHAT JUST CAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH?

SKEEVY, YOU CAN'T TALK TO MY MOTHER LIKE THAT.

MOM, I'M SORRY. IT WASN'T MY IDEA.

IT WAS MR. COLEMAN, THE SCHOOL GUIDANCE COUNSELOR.

OH, WELL, YOU SAW MR. COLEMAN?

YEAH.

HE THINKS MAYBE THIS VENTRILOQUIST'S DUMMY

MIGHT HELP ME EXPRESS THE FEELINGS

I MAY BE STUFFING INSIDE.

OH, RORY...

I NAMED HIM SKEEVY.

WELL, H-HI THERE, SKEEVY.

ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY TO ME?

WELL, THERE ONCE WAS A MAN FROM NANTUCKET...

THANKS, GRAMPS.

I NEVER COULD GET THIS PAINT OFF.

LOOK AT THOSE HANDS.

YOU'RE A CRAFTSMAN LIKE YOUR GRANDPA.

GOD, I FEEL PRETTY.

COME ON, GIRL, WHAT'S EATING YOU?

IT'S JUST THAT I PAINT THE SCENERY

AND MY BIG SISTER'S THE STAR OF THE SHOW.

YEAH, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

MY BROTHER, YOUR GREAT-UNCLE WALTER,

HE FOUGHT IN THE ARDENNES IN WORLD WAR II.

"THE GREATEST GENERATION."

"THE HERO OF THE BIG ONE."

YEAH, LITTLE JIMMY GOES TO KOREA,

AND THEY CALL IT A POLICE ACTION.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

I GET SHOT IN THE BUTT, AND THEY CALL IT A POLICE ACTION!

WOW!

I HAD AN UNCLE IN WORLD WAR II?

OW!

OH, I'M SORRY, DID I HURT YOU, HON?

HEY.

WE TOOK PORK CHOP HILL, DAMN IT!

AND WE THANK YOU, DAD.

MY LINE...OTHER PEOPLE'S... OTHER PEOPLE'S...MY LINE...

UH, BRIDGET, PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE READING THE WHOLE PLAY

AND NOT JUST YOUR PART.

OH, NO, THIS IS FASTER. IT'S LIKE STUDYING FOR FINALS.

YOU JUST READ THE FIRST AND LAST SENTENCE OF EACH CHAPTER.

HEY, BRIDGET, I JUST CAME BY TO CLEAR THE AIR.

WHEN YOU IGNORED ME AT LUNCH TODAY,

I FIGURED THERE WAS A LOT OF TENSION

'CAUSE YOU GOT THE PART OF ANNE FRANK,

EVEN THOUGH EVERYBODY SAID I WAS GONNA GET THE PART,

'CAUSE I STUDIED ACTING FOR 10 YEARS

AND I DID DO THAT FURNITURE COMMERCIAL.

ANYHOW I HOPE WE CAN STILL BE FRIENDS.

OH, SURE WE WILL. OF COURSE WE WILL, LINDA.

L-LAURIE! LACEY!

OH, I BROUGHT YOUR COSTUME.

ASIDE FROM MY PART, I'M ALSO WARDROBE ASSISTANT.

SOMEHOW I FIND THE TIME BETWEEN MY TWO LINES.

SO, ANNE...

BREAK A LEG.

"BREAK A LEG"?

WELL, GO GET HIT BY A CAR!

ALL RIGHT, NOW, HERE WE GO.

NOW, I WOULD REALLY LIKE SOME QUIET, PLEASE, HUH?

ALL RIGHT, ANDRE, BEGIN.

I LOOKED ALL UP IN HIS CRIB, AND THERE AIN'T NO PEEPS!

ANDRE, STICK TO THE TEXT, PLEASE?

I WAS JUST TRYIN' TO GIVE IT A LITTLE ANDRE FLA-VOR.

WELL...DON'T.

HI, KERRY. HEY.

REHEARSAL'S STILL GOING ON?

WELL, CLASSICS AREN'T DESTROYED OVERNIGHT.

HERR COMMANDANT, I TOLD YOU YOU WOULDN'T FIND ANYBODY.

DID YOU CHECK THE ATTIC?

'CAUSE SHE'S IN THERE. LACEY!

I'M SORRY, BUT, COME ON, THAT'S MY ROLE!

ANNE FRANK DOESN'T HAVE HIGHLIGHTS!

SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WELL...SET'S NICE.

I KNOW I'M NOT VERY PRETTY...

PLEASE, GIRL!

YO, I BE DYING TO LAY ONE ON THAT GRILL!

ANTHONY!

ALL RIGHT, BRIDGET, CONTINUE.

WELL, I HAVE TO GO.

ALL RIGHT, NOW ANNE AND PETER KISS,

AND IT'S A FIRST KISS.

IT'S INNOCENT, SWEET...

WOW, THAT WAS...

LIKE A BUS-ITTY BEE TO HIS HONEY, YO!

NOW, IS THAT IN THE SCRIPT?

YEAH, DUDE!

ALL RIGHT, PEOPLE, I WANT YOU ALL TO GO HOME,

AND I WANT YOU TO THINK VERY HARD ABOUT THE MEANING

OF WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE!

HEY, MOM. HI.

DID YOU SEE ME UP THERE? OH, YES.

YOU -- YOU'RE GONNA BE THE PRETTIEST ANNE FRANK EVER.

THANK YOU, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING FOR.

HEY, SARGE!

WERE THERE MASHED POTATOES ON PORK CHOP HILL?

YEAH, YEAH, THAT IS REALLY CUTE.

YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS CUTE?

AHH!

HEY, HOW'D REHEARSAL GO?

AMAZING.

OH, THANK YOU, KERRY.

OH, YEAH, IT WAS AMAZING.

THAT PLAY IS GONNA BE JUST ONE INCREDIBLE...

HUGE TRAIN WRECK.

THAT BAD, HUH?

GEE, I SWEAR, I WISH I COULD GET HER TO QUIT.

I'M SO SCARED SHE'S GONNA HUMILIATE HERSELF.

HERSELF?

WELL, OKAY, AND MAYBE A LITTLE BIT ME,

BUT I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY DAUGHTER, WHOM I LOVE.

DAD, SHE REALLY STINKS.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON, BABY GIRL.

CHRISTMAS PAGEANT, JUNIOR YEAR --

YOU'RE ON STAGE. I'M IN THE AUDIENCE.

"THAT'S MY GIRL," I SAID, "THAT'S MY GIRL."

I EVEN POINTED TO YOU.

THEY CHANGED MY PLACE IN LINE AT THE LAST MINUTE.

THAT'S WHY I FELL.

FELL?

YOU TOOK OUT THE ENTIRE BRASS SECTION.

WELL, YOU TOLD ME NOBODY NOTICED.

NOBODY NOTICED?

PEOPLE WERE INJURED!

YOU KNOW WHO I MISS?

I MISS UNCLE WALTER.

THE HERO OF THE ARDENNES.

I'M SORRY IF I HIT A SORE SPOT, BABY GIRL.

HEY, HEY, WHO'S THIS?

WHOA-A-A-A-A-A!

KNOCK, KNOCK!

AM I INTERRUPTING?

OH, I'M REWRITING MY LINES.

SOME OF THEM ARE KIND OF LONG AND HARD TO REMEMBER.

YEAH...UH, HONEY, I BROUGHT YOU A BOOK.

A BOOK? MM-HMM.

YEAH, I THOUGHT IT COULD HELP YOU WITH YOUR PART.

IT'S "THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK."

I THOUGHT YOU COULD USE IT AS HISTORICAL RESEARCH

TO FIND OUT THINGS LIKE --

SHE WAS REAL?

LIKE THAT SHE WAS REAL.

OH, MY GOSH, WAS BRIDGET JONES REAL, TOO?

NO, NO, AND I JUST THOUGHT --

WHAT ABOUT "THE NANNY DIARIES"?

WAS NANNY REAL? NO!

WELL, YES, BUT -- BUT THAT WAS LIKE A COMPOSITE, SO IT --

LOOK, IT'S -- IT'S NOT THE POINT.

COULD YOU JUST READ "THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK"?

READ ANOTHER GIRL'S DIARY?

OKAY...

OH, HI, LOUISE.

HEY, YOU REALLY LOOK NICE TODAY.

UH-OH, WHAT DO YOU NEED?

NOTHING. MAYBE YOU JUST REALLY LOOK NICE.

OKAY, I'M SELLING TICKETS TO BRIDGET'S PLAY.

A HIGH-SCHOOL PLAY? NO! N-N-N-N-N-NO!

OH, COME ON, LOOK,

I HAD TO ENDURE YOUR DAUGHTER'S CELLO RECITAL.

"ENDURE"?

DID I SAY ENDURE? I-I MEANT ENJOY.

COME ON, IT'S THE MOM'S CODE.

WE BUY EACH OTHER'S KIDS' CRAP

AND THEN SECRETLY RESENT EACH OTHER, SO COUGH IT UP.

IT IS THE MOM'S CODE,

AND YOU DID SIT THROUGH THAT AWFUL RECITAL.

WELL, THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO GO.

OH, I'LL BUY TWO. OKAY.

OH, MY GOD, "ANNE FRANK"!

WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO IN THE FIRST PLACE?

I'M GONNA BRING MY MOTHER. SHE'S A SURVIVOR.

SURVIVOR? YEAH.

OH, SHE IS SO AMAZING.

SHE'S SEEN THE WORST IN HUMANITY,

AND IT HASN'T DAMPENED HER SPIRITS.

OH, THAT MIGHT CHANGE.

OH, HI, BRIDG.

I THOUGHT I HEARD SOMETHING UP HERE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

READING "THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK."

MOM, I DON'T THINK I CAN DO THIS.

WELL, HONEY, WHEN YOU GET TO A WORD YOU DON'T KNOW,

JUST SOUND IT OUT.

I MEAN, HOW COULD I HAVE TAKEN ON THE ROLE OF ANNE FRANK.

SHE'S JUST SO INCREDIBLY WISE AND BRAVE.

I MEAN, I CAME UP HERE TO SEE WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE HER.

I JUST CAN'T DO HER JUSTICE.

I CAN'T. OF COURSE YOU CAN.

I KNOW YOU NEVER SEE THIS SIDE OF ME, BUT IT'S TRUE.

SOMETIMES I CAN BE A LITTLE BIT SUPERFICIAL.

I'M JUST NOT ANNE MATERIAL.

THINK I SHOULD QUIT?

BECAUSE, IT'S NOT LIKE I'D BE LETTING ANYONE DOWN.

THERE ARE TONS OF GIRLS

THAT COULD DO A WAY BETTER JOB THAN I CAN.

I SHOULD QUIT, RIGHT?

D-DO YOU WANT TO QUIT?

NO, I DON'T WANT TO QUIT,

BUT I DON'T WANT TO EMBARRASS MYSELF.

I DON'T WANT TO EMBARRASS YOU, EITHER.

OH, THAT'S JUST CRAZY, HONEY.

BUT DO YOU WANT TO QUIT?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

I'M OUT OF MY DEPTH.

WOW...

YOU REALLY DID READ THE BOOK.

WELL...

I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD QUIT.

I THINK YOU CAN DO IT.

I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT.

IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT THAT I PLAY ANNE.

WE'RE NOTHING ALIKE.

WE HAVE A NICE ATTIC AND A NICE HOUSE.

I CAN GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT, WHEN IT'S DARK, IN A WARM BED.

I CAN LEAVE WHENEVER I WANT.

I DON'T KNOW. MY LIFE IS EASY.

I JUST HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THAT KIND OF HARDSHIP.

I CAN'T IMAGINE ANYONE PLAYING THAT PART HAS THAT EXPERIENCE,

BUT AN ACTOR FINDS THINGS TO DRAW ON.

YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE HAD YOUR SHARE OF SADNESS.

START THERE.

Cate: WELL, LET'S JUST HOPE THEY DO GOOD.

OKAY, IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU.

ENJOY THE SHOW. OKAY.

YOU BROUGHT THE DUMMY?

HE'S WEARING A TIE.

AREN'T YOU A LITTLE OLD TO BE PLAYING WITH DOLLS?

AREN'T YOU A LITTLE OLD?

I SWEAR TO GOD,

ONE OF THESE DAYS I'M GONNA PICK MY TEETH WITH YOU.

JEEZ, THIS IS A NEW LOW. I'M TALKING TO A DUMMY.

AND NOW YOU'RE TALKING TO YOURSELF.

SKEEVY, THIS MAN FOUGHT IN THE KOREAN WAR.

IT WAS A POLICE ACTION!

Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!

CATE! THIS IS MY MOTHER.

HOW DO YOU DO?

YOU MUST BE HONORED THAT YOUR DAUGHTER IS PLAYING ANNE FRANK.

OH, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

OKAY, MOM, LET'S GO FIND A SEAT.

HER DAUGHTER -- HER DAUGHTER'S PLAYING ANNE FRANK.

I SMELL CHRISTMAS PAGEANT ALL OVER AGAIN.

MY NAME IS ANNE FRANK.

SHE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE ANNE FRANK.

THE NAZIS INV--

MY NAME IS ANNE FRANK.

THE NAZIS INVADED MY COUNTRY BEFORE I TURNED 11.

TWO YEARS LATER,

MY FAMILY AND I AND OTHER JEWISH FAMILIES WENT INTO HIDING.

"FATHER SAYS THEY'VE FOUND THE LAST OF OUR FRIENDS.

"HOW LONG UNTIL THEY FIND US?

"MOTHER'S GETTING SICKER AND WEAKER,

AND I'M AFRAID SHE'S GIVING UP."

MAMA!

MAMA, YOU HAVE TO EAT, PLEASE!

MAMA!

MAMA, YOU HAVE TO EAT, PLEASE.

MAMA...

FATHER!

I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!

NO, PLEASE, NO!

NO! QUIET!

BRAVO! BRAVO!

HOW ABOUT THAT SCENERY, TOO, HUH?

Woman: BRAVO!

WELL, YOU WERE GREAT, BRIDG.

IT WAS WORTH MISSING "ROCKFORD FILES" FOR.

YEAH, IT WAS AWESOME, BRIDGET.

THANK YOU, AND, UM, WHAT DID SKEEVY THINK?

OH, WHERE IS SKEEVY?

I TOSSED HIM IN A DUMPSTER.

AFTER THE PLAY, A REALLY HOT GIRL LOOKED AT ME,

POINTED, LAUGHED, AND SAID, "WHAT A GEEK!"

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK SHE SAW SKEEVY?

HEY, NOW, WAIT A MINUTE,

I THOUGHT SKEEVY BELONGED TO THE COUNSELOR.

OH, RIGHT, I WAS LYING.

I JUST REALLY, REALLY WANTED A VENTRILOQUIST'S DUMMY.

YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT SUPPRESSING ANY EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS?

NAH.

WELL, I'M RELIEVED.

AND, YOU KNOW, I HOPE YOU HAD A REALLY GOOD TIME TONIGHT,

BECAUSE THAT'S THE LAST TIME YOU'RE GOING OUT FOR A WHILE.

WAIT, MOM!

DON'T LISTEN TO HIM.

HE'S GOT ISSUES -- BIG-TIME ISSUES.

WORK IT OUT IN YOUR ROOM.

NOW WHO'S THE DUMMY?

HEY, BRIDG...

I WAS REALLY PROUD OF MY BIG SISTER TONIGHT.

THANK YOU, KERRY.

THAT WAS HARD.

WHY?

THERE'S NO SHAME IN LOOKING UP TO YOUR BIG SISTER.

HEY, MY BIG BROTHER WAS A HERO IN WORLD WAR II.

THANKS, GRAMPS.

NOW, THAT WAS HARD.

HEY, BEACH, I WAS REALLY AMAZED BY YOUR PERFORMANCE TONIGHT.

I WAS SO IMPRESSED AND PROUD OF YOU.

REALLY? YEAH.

AND I HAD TO ADMIT THAT FOR A WHILE THERE,

I HAD MY LITTLE CONCERNS.

OH, WHAT'D YOU THINK --

I WAS GONNA FALL OFF THE STAGE AND KNOCK OUT THE ENTIRE BRASS SECTION?

WELL, ONE THING I DO KNOW,

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO.

THANK YOU, MOM.

COMING UP?

YEP, I'M JUST GONNA PUT THESE IN WATER.

OKAY.

NIGHT, HONEY. GOOD NIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT.

YOU REALLY TAPPED INTO SOME EMOTION THERE.

YEAH, I GUESS.

YEAH.

Good night.
