TEXTUAL EVIDENCE

"What is going on? She's so calm. This isn't what I expecting; this isn't how she reacts when I... I try to think of a time when I stood up for myself and said I didn't want to go to an audition or accept a role. And I can't. That's impossible. I...."

"I know. It isn't high school; it's CPA. I'm tired of having all these acting roles forced on me. If I can't do art, there's no reason to be there.
