:24:02
l maintained my poise. l said hello.
:24:05
l never trusted April.
She has eyes in the back of her head.
:24:09
She and the architect are now a very
definite item, which l still cannot believe,
:24:14
although it's put an end to the
Stanislavski Catering Company.
:24:17
l have to speak to you,
and you're gonna get impatient,
:24:20
but l have to borrow some more money.
:24:22
- Well, that's fine...
- What l've decided to do is some writing.
:24:26
l've had it with acting. These
meaningless auditions are cattle-calls.
:24:30
l can't handle another rejection.
You know, let's face it here.
:24:34
l've gotta latch onto something in my life.
:24:37
Something with a future.
l'm not 16 any more. lt's just... crazy.
:24:43
But l've got an idea for a story,
more than one,
:24:47
and l just need a few months,
or a year, even.
:24:51
l've picked up a lot about
dramatic structure from acting class.
:24:55
That's good. lt just seems to me
that... six months or a year,
:25:01
if you spent it more productively...
:25:03
- Like what?
- Well, l don't know. Um...
:25:06
Didn't Mom mention there was something
at the Museum of Broadcasting?
:25:11
- That's clerical.
- No, it was in the publicity department.
:25:15
- That can lead to other things.
- l knew you'd be discouraging!
:25:19
l'm not. l'm trying to be helpful.
:25:21
You don't just say one day ''l'm
finished as an actress. Now l'm a writer.''
:25:26
- You mean, not at my age.
- Please, we came to have lunch.
:25:29
Yeah, OK, right. Forget it. What's to eat?
:25:33
l just want a salad.
You really think l'm a loser, don't you?
:25:36
- You're being ridiculous.
- You are. Stop it.
:25:39
- You treat me like a loser.
- How?
:25:41
You never have faith in my plans,
you undercut my enthusiasm...
:25:45
Not so, no. l think
l've been very supportive.
:25:47
l try to give you honest,
constructive advice.
:25:50
l'm always happy to help you financially.
:25:53
l've gone out of my way to introduce you
to interesting single men...
:25:56
- They're all losers.
- You're too demanding.
:25:59
l could tell what you thought of me
by the men you fixed me up with.
