1:13:03
We were scared.
1:13:06
We were ashamed.
1:13:08
And what finally made you
break your silence?

1:13:15
When he decided to do it
in front of everybody.

1:13:17
"Decided to do it in front of everybody."
1:13:20
Could you repeat for us the incident
that drove you over the edge?

1:13:28
It was at Drama Club,
after school on a Friday.

1:13:34
Lee Strasberg, of the famed Actors Studio...
1:13:37
used to stress the importance
of being able to perform...

1:13:40
private moments on stage.
1:13:44
Now, acting is about opening yourself up.
1:13:49
It is about freeing yourself from shame,
reticence, inhibition.

1:13:55
It's about laying yourself bare.
1:13:58
So, Brittany, I want you to show me...
1:14:02
your private moment.
1:14:07
- Private moment?
- Yes, private moment.

1:14:09
Something that you would do
only in complete privacy.

1:14:11
Something that no one else
would ever see you do.

1:14:16
Now, I want you to take a moment.
1:14:17
Think about what that is.
Then, when you have it, show me.

1:14:30
I don't want to do that.
1:14:32
Do you want to be Anne Frank?
Do you want to be our lead?

1:14:35
Yes, but I...
1:14:37
All right then, do it. Stop whining and do it.
1:14:41
Well, what's he doing here?
1:14:46
Roger, what are you...
1:14:49
Nobody's here, Brittany. That's the point.
1:14:52
None of us are here.
You're alone, by yourself...

1:14:58
Close your eyes. All right?
