Transkript

[Danny]: 

I'm just saying, telling the truth is not in the cards right now.


I thought-I thought you'd be excited to have an acting job?


[Maggie]: 

If it's an acting job, we should get paid.


[Danny]: 

Yeah, you're gonna get paid in experience.


[Maggie]: 

I wanna actually get paid.


[Danny]: 

Alright, what do you want?


[Maggie]: 

$600 for the day.


Plus overtime if we go over eight hours.


I'll do my own hair and makeup and I want you to pay for the six-week intensive acting camp that my mom can't afford.


[Danny]: 

$50 for the day and a two-week acting class at the YMCA* nearest you.


[Maggie]: 

$500 and a four-week acting class.


[Danny]: 

$300 and a three-week class.


[Maggie]: 

Done.


[Danny]: 

I would have done it for 500.


[Maggie]: 

I would have done it for the experience.
