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

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

Yeah, you're gonna get paid in experience.

I wanna actually get paid.
[Danny]:
Alright, what do you want?

$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.

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

$500 and a four-week acting class.
[Danny]:
$300 and a three-week class.

Done.

I would have done it for 500.
