I fluff my hair and take a sip of my coffee walking out of the boardroom. Evan runs up to me and taps my shoulder I turn around.
"Yes?"
"It's a pleasure to work with you and I haven't even worked with you yet."
"I'm playing your mother, you know what that means?"
"What?"
"I'm too old for you."  I leave him with a flabbergasted look on his face.

Lizzie paints my nails as I relax before the next scene.
"How old are you Lizzie?"
"26."
"I was going to guess early 20's."
"I'm very honored to work with you Ms. Lange, you're my favorite actress."
"Thank you Darling, what are you working to be?"
"I wanna be a actress, be on the Hollywood walk of fame."
I light up a cigarette and look at her.
"That's what I wanted too."
"What happened?"
I blow out my smoke.
"I was a whore when I was young, so know my image is a dried up little slut."
"I don't see you like that." 
I shrug my shoulders.
"That's how I see me."
"You have a terrible self image Ms. Lange."
"Yes, it's called reality."

I walk out and walk to Ryan.
"I think when Constance is at home that she should have her wig down."
"Well, what ever you think is best." I walk to my trailer and look at Karen.
"Take it down."
"Yes ma'am."
