Dorothy Michaels?
:20:06
-Yes.
-George Fields is your agent?
:20:08
-Yes.
-Okay, ladies.
:20:10
Please bring your pages
and follow me.
:20:16
I hate this line,
"You have every right to happiness."
:20:19
This is Dorothy Michaels.
Our director, Ron Carlysle.
:20:22
That's our producer, Rita Marshall.
George Fields is Dorothy's agent.
:20:27
That's impressive.
:20:30
I'm afraid you're not right for
this role. Thanks for coming by.
:20:34
Page 205, you want camera one or two?
:20:37
-Camera two, and tell Art.
-Why am I not right?
:20:40
I'm trying to make
a certain statement...
:20:43
...and I'm looking for
a specific physical type.
:20:47
Mr. Carlysle, I'm a character actress.
I can play it any way you want.
:20:51
I'm sure you're a very good actress.
:20:53
It's just that you're not
threatening enough.
:20:56
Not threatening enough?
:20:58
Take your hands off me or
I'll knee you in the balls!
:21:01
-ls that enough of a threat?
-It's a start.
:21:03
I think I know what you want.
You want a caricature of a woman.
:21:08
To prove some point like
power makes a woman masculine...
:21:11
...or masculine women are ugly.
:21:13
Well, shame on any woman
that lets you do that.
:21:16
And that means you, Miss Marshall.
:21:19
Shame on you, you macho shithead.
:21:23
Jesus!
:21:26
What is idiotic about power
making a woman masculine?
:21:31
Not that that was my point.
:21:35
Miss Michaels, just a minute.
:21:39
Was that for real
or were you auditioning?
:21:41
Which answer will get me
a reading, Miss Marshall?
:21:45
Well, good for you.
:21:46
Come.
:21:49
-Miss Michaels.
-Yes. Oh, thank you.
:21:54
You really think she's worth testing?
:21:57
She told me no director had ever
communicated a part to her so fast.
