"Listen Ms. Travis! Listen to me!" Andre and Tori were on the stage doing an acting exercise.
"What?" Tori asked through her 'tears', a hand slightly over her mouth.
"This is a simple surgery. I have done this operation hundreds of times. You'll be fine." Andre said reassuringly, Ray shushing Beck when he mumbled something to her since she was invested into the act going on.
"But what if I'm not fine? What if I die on that operating table? I have three-..." Tori's character had either dementia or amnesia, Ray wasn't sure but she liked the way the act was playing out.
"Uh huh." Sikowitz coaxed her to finish the sentence, Tori pretending to struggle with remembering.
"I have three-..." Tori's character stops crying as she tried to remember.
"Uh huh!"
"I have three children!"
"Oh, I'm sorry kids, excuse me. I don't mean to interrupt the scene, but Tori, look at this red dot I drew on this index card." Sikowitz interrupted, Tori stopping her character part and doing as he said. "BOO!"
Tori screamed as she fell to the floor, Ray still invested in what was going on.
"Sikowitz! You scared the fudge out of me!" Tori shouted from her place on the floor.
"Why did you stop crying?" Sikowitz simply asked, confusing her.
"What?"
"You were playing the role of a crying woman who's just been told she's going to have surgery. Why did you break character?" He explained more before asking again.
"Cause you interrupted our scene and screamed 'boo' in my face!"
"Tori, Andre, take your seats." The two walked to their seats and Sikowitz slowly started walking towards Ray. "Watch."
He yelled 'boo' in her ear and Ray nodded, mumbling about something being interesting and turning to shush Beck.
"This is what it looks like to not break character." Sikowitz said as he motioned to Ray, who tilited her head and furrowed her brows while staring at the empty stage.
"Wait, so you told her to act interested?" Tori asked, Sikowitz nodding.
"Precisely. I'm trying to teach you kids about method acting, and that means that whatever character you're playing, you must stay in that character the entire time, no matter what. Whether on or off camera, on or off stage, you've got to understand that-" The bell rang, cutting off Sikowitz's lecture and indicating that Ray could stop pretending to be interested. "Until tomorrow."
"Look, I'm sorry we disappointed you." Ray side eyed Tori, rolling her eyes and grabbing her things.
"Yeah, it's just that we think that method acting is kinda dumb." Robbie said, Jade grabbing Ray by the back of her shirt when she tried to leave.
