  1. Casting Director

    Whenever you’re ready.

  2. Actor

    Can I ask one question first?

  3. Casting Director

    Sure.

  4. Actor

    Is she angry, or is she hurt?

  5. Casting Director

    What do you think?

  6. Actor

    I think she’s hurt, and she’s using angry so nobody sees it.

  7. Casting Director

    Okay. Do that.

  8. Actor

    “You don’t get to...” Sorry. Can I go again?

  9. Casting Director

    Take your time.

  10. Actor

    I had it in the car. I swear I had it in the car.

  11. Casting Director

    Everyone had it in the car.

  12. Actor

    Is that supposed to help?

  13. Casting Director

    It’s supposed to mean you’re normal. Start from her, not from the line.

  14. Actor

    “You don’t get to tell me how I feel.”

  15. Casting Director

    Again. Exactly like that, but quieter.

  16. Actor

    Quieter?

  17. Casting Director

    She doesn’t want him to know she’s been crying. Make me lean in.
