Scene 1

You have an amazing voice by the way. Will you sing for me.

No

Come on, you’re good. I’m not talking about karaoke good, I’m talking good-good. Did you ever performe?

When I was really young, Cyndi Lauper was kind of my jam. [Time After Time] cover was.. I rocked it. I rocked it like it was my job. But then I grew up, and then I grew.. and I try to avoid the spotlight.

Scene 2

I am super pumped about this move to New York City. I mean we’ve got a ton to figure out, of course. But I’m super pumped.

Wait, that was real? 

Yeah, stage acting. It’s my new jam. Do you think you could get that really cute, that theatre casting director, the one who liked me. What’s her..

Cara.

Cara, yes, I love Cara. And when you get her on the phone, tell her I’m only interested in doing heavy drama. We’re not moving all the way up to New York City so I can do some lame off-Broadway comedy.

You want me to go with you?

Of course, yeah, there’s no way I could do this without you.

Scene 3

Where’re we going?

No more background singing for you. Your voice is way too beautiful to be only heard in a bathroom . Today is your day, babe. We’re on our way to your first big gig.

Huh?

Yeah, I downloaded an instrumental copy of [Time After Time], found an old boom box. It’s showtime, baby!

Toby, there’s no way in hell that I’m gonna sing in front of people. 

Well, then you’ll be depriving the world.

Well, the world’ll live.

Yes, but your audience may not.

I booked you in their prime slot, 3:00pm. It’s right after Jell-O but before their nap. Perfect place to break your seal, right? Now remember, most of them will probably be sleep, the rest won’t remember this tomrrow, and most of them lived through World War II, so no matter how bad you are, they’ve seen worse. Come on！

Scene 4

So he takes me to a nursing home, to sing in front of old people. So I’d be a star but in a comfortable environment, cuz otherwise I would freak out. It was the whole works. He had the red carpet, he had the car, suit. It was..

Well, that’s good.

Yeah, and afterwards, like I was on a high, I know it sounds stupid, but I felt so free.

Then what happened?

Well, you called. Told him I had to go and he got pouty and mean.

Wait a minute. I called at that very moment and you actually answered the phone?

Of course I answered. Anyway, I need to focus on losing weight, and our big move to New York, and I don’t even need to be in a relationship.

You’re fired.

What?

Yeah, Kate, you’re fired.

Why?

Maybe it’s time we go at it alone for a while, you know? Just for a while to see what happens. Maybe we need to grow up a bit.

I don’t really know who I am if I’m not your sister.

I do. You’re gonna love her.
