:05:01
- Can you get the two big serving dishes?
- I'm running out of obsequious banter.

:05:05
- How's it going?
- He thinks I'm perfect for the part.

:05:08
The goddamn producer
wants more of a name.

:05:10
I don't understand why they make
such a big deal. It's not like it's the lead.

:05:16
My first audition went better.
I don't know what happened.

:05:19
- And I know it's not the lead, Laurel.
- Doesn't he have any clout?

:05:23
They want a name. I'm not a name.
You didn't marry a name.

:05:27
- Sally said how much she loves your place.
- How long are you here?

:05:31
Six months, and we're still not finished.
:05:34
We have to furnish slowly
cos we used up all our money.

:05:37
We could not go on in that one-bedroom.
The piano ate up the living room.

:05:41
We're living beyond our means. I get nervous.
Laurel is certain God will provide.

:05:46
- They're poor, but happy.
- Definitely poor.

:05:49
- What do you do, Peter?
- I'm a lawyer. No jokes, please.

:05:52
Think the music's a little too loud?
:05:55
I saw you listening to the Mahler and crying.
You should have seen her.

:05:59
She was listening to Mahler
with tears streaming down her face.

:06:03
She looked so beautiful. I wanted to hug her.
:06:05
Yeah. But I had to get up early
and film a deodorant commercial.

:06:09
That's work at least, right?
:06:12
I think someone rang before. Did you hear?
:06:14
- So, how do you all know each other?
- We grew up together, Cassie and I.

:06:19
We were those little girls at school
with the plaid skirts.

:06:23
- And Lee and I met at Northwestern.
- He was the star actor, the handsome athlete.

:06:27
Everybody wanted him. But Laurel got him.
:06:34
- Melinda?
- Hi.

:06:36
Melinda?
:06:39
- Hi, Melinda, hi.
- My goodness.

:06:41
God.
:06:43
Cassie.
:06:45
I'm stunned.
:06:47
Here, let me take these.
:06:49
God, look at you. You look so...
:06:52
No, don't. Don't say what you're thinking of.
:06:55
I've been on a bus.
I've been on a Greyhound bus since Tuesday,

:06:59
so I'm sure I look like
the wreck of the Hesperus.
