[cheering]
Let's see... the bread mould!
Bread mould!
[laughing]
- Furry. - Furry.
- Mushy. - Mushy.
[laughing]
Next!
- The fish mould. - Fish mould.
Stinky.
[laughing]
I am so upset!
[door slamming]
You won't believe who I got partnered with for The Big Showcase!
- Who? - Andrew Harris, a tenth grader!
What's The Big Showcase?
It's a performance they put on at her school every year--
They invite agents and directors and producers
and other super powerful people in show business
and it's extremely important to me which is why I am very upset and goodbye!
[laughing]
Hey, he and I have a science project due tomorrow!
I have to turn in my mould bush!
[laughing]
No, Andrew's coming over and you gotta help us figure out
what we're gonna do in The Big Showcase, I definitely wanna sing!
[singing]
- How was that? - Loud.
Awesome!
Ugh, he's here!
Stay!
[laughing]
Come in.
Thanks.
Tori, that's Andrew.
- Andre. - Hey.
- You got to Hollywood Arts too? - Oh, no, I'm not a performer.
- Just my sister. - Yep!
I got the talent and she got the strong teeth!
You know she's never had one cavity!
I try not to brag about it.
[laughing]
Oh, nice piano!
[playing piano]
[cheering]
- Oh, my God, you're fantastic! - He's OK.
[laughing]
Fish mould.
Living on the prairie was a dreary existence!
No telephone, no radio.
Only a large majestic bird with whom I shared my feelings.
[whistling]
[laughing]
You see the bird too, right?
- Yeah. - Fantastic.
[laughing]
One day when I was feeling low, I said to him,
"Oh, bird, you can fly!"
"You can soar miles from this lonely place, yet you stay!"
"Why?"
Why!
[laughing]
And apparently my question rang true.
For that afternoon my bird left.
And so went my spirit.
[applause]
That...
Was impressive.
- So did I get it right? - Nope.
[laughing]
But... but I just-- I-- I--
- I did too get it right! - Tori, listen.
I'm not trying to be disrespectful
but do you know how hard I worked on this scene?
I made this costume, I downloaded stupid prairie music!
I even trained that crazy cockatoo to fly in and out of that window on command!
Not now!
[laughing]
Look, I know you're a great acting teacher and everything
but I don't care what you say!
The scene I just did was good
and I'm proud of it no matter what anybody thinks!
[cheering]
[applause]
[laughing]
What?
You just passed the bird scene!
[cheering]
But-- but you said--
Tori, the whole point of the bird scene is to teach a performer, like yourself,
to believe in your own choices, no matter what others think!
We are artists and a true artist does not define success
based on... approval from others.
A true artist need only please himself.
Or... herself, or... itself.
You don't know what I got!
[laughing]
Um...
OK, for our scene I'm gonna be playing an old lady
who's walking home from a bingo game.
And I play a brutal mugger.
[laughing]
Yes, a brutal mugger, who mugs me, without actually hurting me.
[laughing]
OK, as always, be careful and if anything goes wrong,
just yell a safe word, which is... butternut.
[laughing]
OK, guys.
Ready?
[laughing]
And...
- Butternut! - What?
[laughing]
Tori... what's the problem?
I was testing the safe word, it works!
[laughing]
OK, I'm ready.
[laughing]
And...
Action.
Oh, I certainly did enjoy the bingo... although I do miss Bob Hope.
[laughing]
- Gimme your money! - What?
I ain't playing, gimme your money and your watch!
Well wouldn't you rather have this?
Ow!
[laughing]
Butternut!
[laughing]
- Butternut! - She's bleeding!
- Cut, lemme see, lemme see! - Are you OK?
No, Tori hit me in the face for real!
- No I didn't! - Tell that to my bloody eye!
- Ow! - Alright, you better sit down.
- Somebody grab a chair! - Yeah, quickly, get a chair!
Quick, get a chair!
- Here, here, here! - Yeah, here we go, just sit down.
-[crashing]
[laughing]
That was a breakaway chair!
[laughing]
Not butternut!
[laughing]
