You know that voice inside your head that you try to ignore?

And no matter how high you turn up the volume on everything

else it just won't go away.

♪

Well, sometimes you have to listen to that voice, I think.

And hope it's saying what you need to hear.

What happened to the dress you wore for church?

Nothing.

I'm just not in the mood to wear it.

Well, go and change.

It'll look nice in the pictures.

Hurry up!

So Eric, will you be driving down and back with us?

I guess so.

It depends.

It's been nice, having my little girl home again.

Your father and I got you a little going away present.

It just happens to be so perfect for school

and for work next summer.

We're sending you off in style.

Just because you're going to be a lawyer.

It doesn't mean you can't be a lady.

Wow!

You guys really shouldn't have.

Listen, there's something I have to tell you.

I'm not going.

To law school, I mean.

What the hell are you talking about?

We've already paid your tuition.

You're going to law school.

I want to act.

You want to be an actress?

Kind of snuck up on me.

I took a couple of classes and then I was the second lead

in the senior play.

The head of the darrow theatre academy saw me and told me

I should audition.

I did, and I got in.

You guys both wanted law school for me so badly

that I thought I did too.

But I don't.

Did you know about this?

You're her boyfriend.

Yes, but...

Can't you say something to her?

Who's going to pay for this acting school of yours?

You pay Jamie's tuition.

Your brother is getting his masters.

He's going to be a psychologist.

If you want to go to a real school well that's fine.

If not, you're going to have to support yourself.

- I'll get a job. - Well, what about tuition and books and gas!?

Details, Jane.

You always forget about the details.

Well that went well, considering...

Don't worry. They just need some time.

What are you guys doing after class?

Let's go get coffee.

You want a good head shot?

You need a great photographer.

Sweet, thanks.

Hey.

Oh, thanks I'm okay.

You're supposed to be freaked out your first day.

Do you go here?

Oh, I've been to a few of her workshops someone always

loses it, throws up, walks out, cries.

Don't worry, her bark's worse then her bite.

Fake it 'til you make it.

Ahhh...

Yah, it's really bad.

Well it's not professional.

If you want to work you need something like this.

I just booked another music video this morning.

I see what you mean. It stands out.

It's my boyfriend.

Kurt Powell. He took it.

He's, uh, he's got the magic touch.

You should call him.

Can't afford it.

I understand.

But if you want to work and make money you need to invest.

Give him a call.

Good morning class, Jane you're up first.

We are going to try something.

This exercise is called "see and be seen."

Lay down on the floor on your back.

Palms out.

Each of you are going to come one at a time and look at her.

Just look. That's all.

Really look.

That's all.

What do I do?

Look back.

How was your first day at work?

I wish I had a nickel for every time I had to say

anti-aging serum.

(Laughs) It probably works out to about that.

You're right.

I don't know what I'm going to do about money.

Everything is so expensive like my father said, and now I have

to get headshots if I'm going to do this right.

I could at least help you with that.

- Present. - Really?

- Yah. - That's sweet. - It's nothing.

So this dinner with your father tonight,

it's all his lawyer firm friends, right?

I'm going to be the only civilian.

You might want to save that little

piece of information for desert.

I haven't told my father your news yet.

Why not?

It just hasn't come up.

I thought you understood.

I do.

But you just can't expect everyone else to.

Could you maybe act like a lawyer?

Just for tonight?

Sure.

I'm a professional.

I'll fake it 'til I make it.

Thank you.

Sweet.

I'll tell him, I swear I will.

I'm glad you called.

And I explained the situation to him.

Yah, there's a reason they call it the nuclear family.

- Kurt! - Yah?

Jane's here for her consultation.

Oh.

Hey.

Hi.

Have a seat.

So, have you ever done this before?

Kind of.

A friend of mine took these.

Hmm... ah, that's... That's really sweet.

But it's not really a portrait, you know,

it doesn't tell me the truth about you.

What do you mean the truth about me?

Have you ever heard the old saying that

a picture steals a part of someone's soul?

K, well I think it should if it's any damn good.

Yah... I know what do with you.

Babe, you think we can cut Jane a deal?

Like, three-fifty?

Sure.

Why not?

As long as she stays for dinner.

You know, people say I look like Marlon Brando and

I think that he's my old man.

I'm serious, okay?

I know it sounds crazy but him and my mom

went armadillo hunting just outside of Albuquerque once

when he was there, you know, doing a movie I can't remember

which one, but he picked her up at a diner and anyways,

they never did get any armadillo.

Well, I think your much handsomer than him.

How'd you two meet?

Ah..

I took her picture.

He... he set up the camera and he looked down the lens

and he said the greatest thing.

He said you're a woman warrior.

Then she said the greatest thing back.

She goes, let's make this a big deal.

Ah-mm.

Okay.

Hmm.

That was, uh, three years and four months ago.

And he's been sober ever since.

Only one drink a day, right baby?

That's right.

I got it down to a science.

Alright, I got to, uh, go to work.

Oh, babe!

Um I'm running a little low again, okay?

I love you.

He's a true artist.

No concept of money.

You know the type?

Actually I don't.

Everyone I know has a very clear concept of money.

Oh yah?

It's $42,000 right there.

It's not bad for a college drop-out.

Kurt and I are going to open up a photography studio.

I think my mother thought I'd never amount to anything.

You must have done a lot of music videos.

I've done a lot of things.

Wouldn't you feel better if that was in a bank or something?

No, me and uncle Sam have an understanding.

Don't ask.

Don't tell.

This was a half-an-hour out of my life.

I could never get up there like that.

In front of all those men.

It would make me feel like a piece of meat.

Well, they're not thinking and I'm not feeling.

By the way, it's no different than the little sales pitch you

give every woman who comes in here.

It's different.

No it's not.

You tell her what she wants to hear.

She walks away feeling better about herself.

You take the money.

I show 'em what they want to see, they have a good time,

I take the money.

There's nothing wrong with a little fantasy.

I'll be right back.

It's a good color for you.

An extra something.

Could use a little lift.

My boyfriend just dumped me so...

Well then definitely don't get that one

unless you want him back.

See?

I was right.

You're a natural.

Selling lipstick and dancing for men aren't the same thing.

You're wrong.

Try it once, but i'm warning you it's addictive.

Just take the bag, Jane.

Can't.

Okay, I'll keep it for you then.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood you.

Live a little, Jane!

No, right there.

Oh, look at that, oh...

Jane! Come and see where we're going for the holidays.

It's a brand new resort in Antigua.

Dad just booked us a condominium on the beach.

(Giggling)

We're leaving on the 17th.

I can't go then.

I have school until the 21st.

You guys didn't even ask me.

What's a week or two from acting school?

It's not like you have exams or anything.

I can't.

Your father kills himself all year for this.

It's a time where we can go away as a family

in a beautiful place.

What's gotten into you little girl?

It's not like you to rock the boat.

I'm not trying to, but acting is important to me.

Why can't you guys just take that seriously?

Well I'll tell you what? I'll take it seriously

on the plane back home.

I can't go.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and

wished you were someone else?

Is there someone inside you trying to get out?

A part of yourself you've kept hidden even from you?

This is your big chance to let them out.

Each of you are going to create a character.

Give them a back story, an objective, a point of view.

You are going to eat, sleep, live, and breathe them.

You are going to wine and dine them.

Do whatever it takes to bring that character to life.

Later this term, you will perform a monologue

as that character at our showcase.

Pick someone you would never bring home to your parents.

That's always a good place to start.

- Hey, I'm Donna. - Hi.

Let me see... Actress.

- Aspiring. - Me too. Musicals.

Well, that was my once upon a time until my daughter was born

and then I started working here.

This is Elizabeth.

She's 13.

Oh wow, she's beautiful.

Hm-mm. Straight-a student. She wants to be a doctor.

Does she know about this?

Oh yah, she's fine.

I mean I get a sitter for her three times a week while

she's sleeping and then I'm home all day every day with her.

You know what you need, is regulars.

Guys that call in just for you.

They come on your nights.

I mean, the more you have the better the shift.

The better the shift, the better tips.

I have regulars coming out of my ears.

How do I get a regular?

Well, when you're out there and you get a little extra

attention from a guy show him a little extra attention back.

You hook him, and you reel 'em in.

It's nothing.

Look, all they want is for you to notice them and then they

start bringing you things like underwear, jewelry.

I mean one of my regulars is a podiatrist and he gives me an orthotic.

I mean, just because I have go-go toes.

Wow! You look amazing.

Well, this work certainly keeps you in shape.

Keeps your mind off your crows feet and your laundry.

You know it's an amazing feeling.

It feels like your getting daddy's attention

at the dining table.

Alright, you need this for under the lights so you

don't look splotchy and pale.

Body glue so nothing pops out, and you need a costume something

that you can't see through.

I get mine from Donna. We all do. She's good.

She should get herself a rocking chair and stick to sewing.

I've been thinking about a name.

Good! You need a name. It's like a theme.

It helps you pick your music.

Plan your moves, you've gotta have a theme.

That's like what were talking about

in my acting class right now.

Creating an identity.

I think my girl, she's been told what to do

her entire life until now.

- Who? - My character.

Oh, ok... Whatever.

(Laughs)

Ah, cute, cute... But after tonight I want you to

get yourself a real costume.

You want to look the part.

- I will. After tonight. - Alright.

Now, let me see you do the look.

Chin down. Eyes up.

Eye contact, very important, eye contact.

Let me see that smile.

C'mon, that's it!

Remember, these guys they don't want to be reminded of their

wife or their mother, god forbid.

What do you want me to call you?

I'm Dylan.

Dylan!

Higher on the sides to make you look taller.

Everything I owe you plus interest.

Oh, champagne.

Don't mind if I do.

Thanks, I like the way it looks on me.

It's quite revealing.

Mom and I were thinking of something more simple.

You're calling her mom now, that's cute.

Expensive too and you paid cash no less.

I went out and got a job.

What else do you want from me?

Return the dress.

I'll buy you the other one.

So talk.

How much money am I bringing into this dump?

Half the guys out there are only there to see me.

Half the guys out there are complaining about your attitude.

Can't you at least pretend to be nice?

Don't you love when a man tries to tell you how to be a woman?

Wouldn't hurt you to smile once in awhile.

Back off, grandma.

Okay, I'll tell you why I don't smile.

Every time I don't smile, I win.

Yah, well not everybody has an off life.

Oh, please.

My mother was a clean freak so she made her scrub the floor

with ammonia and, uh... So the fumes...(Hysterically laughs)

I should get her over here. This place is a pig sty.

You can't do this.

It's not a habit.

It's just a sometime thing.

It's like, uh, happy bubble.

I don't mind taking on extra shifts to help you out with rent

or the bills until you get yourself on your feet

but you've got to promise me no more happy bubble.

K, I promise.

Ah, just the man I want to see.

I need to do doubles now.

Yah, don't push your luck.

There's a lot more guys out there for Jane tonight,

then there are for you.

Speaking of which some old guy wanted me to give you this he

said, and I quote, his dead wife would want you to have it.

That's... just wrong.

It's my regular Ziggy.

He says that I remind him of his wife when he met her.

Would be sweet if it weren't so sad.

Wow, the real thing.

I think I should maybe give it back.

Yah, you should.

Don't be stupid you need to milk these losers

for all their worth.

We could sell it on the Internet.

We need the money.

God! This thing reeks like cheap perfume.

How much do you think we could get for it?

Uh, a month's rent. Easy.

You sure you want to cross that line?

I mean go-go here gets really ugly, real fast.
