Oh, my God.
- It's amazing. - Nice work. Oh, wee.
I love it.
Great job.
Let's get this stuff out.
I am so ready to have fun.
[Stefano] Amazing.
[Grace] I am so glad I said yes.
This is gonna be the best weekend ever.
I am so excited for you to get to know everyone. You're gonna love them.
Thank you so much for inviting me.
- I'm actually really excited to get to know everyone. - Yay.
- Do you wanna go exploring? - Yes, yes, oh my God.
[chattering]
[deeply inhaling]
- Oh. - Hey, girls?
Wanna get a selfie?
- Sure. - We just got here.
Yo, it's selfie time.
- Yes. - Oh, good idea.
Opening chapter.
Let's go over here a bit.
Should we, uh...
- Yeah. - Okay, right here?
- Great. - Perfect.
Here we go.
- Ready? - Yeah.
- Let's do cottage on three. - Okay, cool.
One, two...
- [orchestral music] - [camera shutter clicks]
Done.
Hey.
Put your phone away. Let's do something.
- I have to post this on Instagram first. - No come on, do it later.
I haven't posted since we left L.A.
I know, so what, come on, so?
Okay, yeah, just let me finish this.
- One second. - Okay.
Which one of these should I wear today?
Ricky?
Why can't you just unplug for one weekend? Hm?
I want this weekend to be fun.
Why don't we both put our phones away, huh?
And we'll put 'em in our suitcases.
I can't. I'm working on this sick new algorithm
that is, like, organic, and it lets 40% of my fans
see all my posts.
Ugh, please.
Please stop calling your Twitter followers your fans.
It's sad.
This one, or this one?
You cut me out of both of them.
My fans don't know you.
I am gonna go get my drink on.
I think this one.
Hey, everyone.
Now that we've all settled in and gathered at this glorious retreat,
you're probably all wondering why I suggested this trip in the first place.
Well, I have some shocking news that's going to shock you.
Um, but it's a good thing.
It's something that I have been hiding for a really long time.
[sighs]
Breathe in. Breathe out, stand up.
Cue the music.
And just say...
- [music starts] - ♪ I am who I am ♪
- I'm... - [Dani knocking] Knock knock.
[music stops]
'Sup Steve-O?
Stefano.
Right, sorry. Stefano Torres.
Would you like a beer, Stefano Torres?
- It's like 10 am. - So, it's cottage weekend.
I don't know how you're not 300 pounds.
I know, right?
What's this?
It's a gold mask.
24 karat gold, ultimate luxurious antiaging treatment
to help lift and firm the skin.
- Mm. - It's life changing.
Okay. What is this for?
It's a collagen infused mask.
For the bags under your eyes.
- Okay. - Also life changing.
Great.
And what's this one?
Mineral water spray.
What the hell is mineral water spray?
Water in a spray can.
Sometimes I can't drink eight glasses of water a day,
so I just spray it on my face 20 times and it just soaks into my skin.
It's life changing.
You're paying for water in a spray can?
- That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. - [scoffs]
You can't put a price tag on flawless, ageless skin, Dani.
Flawless, ageless skin,
brought to you by the air that we breathe.
Completely free.
Alright, I'ma head outside. You coming?
I'm just gonna wait for the sunscreen to soak in.
Do you want some?
No, I'm good. I'm just gonna go au natural.
Must I remind you, Palm Springs, senior year?
You got these nasty sun blisters all over your face
because you got so burnt.
And your lips got so swelled up,
bigger than they already are.
You told me never, ever let you do that again.
That was like five years ago.
Well they never really recover.
You know what, actually, I like it.
It was like a natural Botox.
Alright, well I'ma head outside.
I'll see you out there?
- Yeah. - Okay.
[sighing]
[birds chirping]
[clearing throat]
I just got it on Sunday. What do you think?
Um, I like it.
What's wrong with it?
What? Nothing.
I can tell you don't like it. I don't care, I'm just curious.
Oh. Well, it's nothing.
I mean, it makes your head look a little big.
I like it, so I'm gonna wear it.
Val, I honestly love that you don't care
what people think about you.
It's so inspiring.
Thank you.
Happiness means loving yourself
and being less concerned with the approval of others.
- That's beautiful. Did you write that? - [phone clacking]
Um, mm-hmm.
Oh, I'm Googling it right now.
Oh, well I, like, found the quote.
Right.
Just as impressive.
[phone clacking]
It's not that sunny right now so I don't even think I need this hat.
Yeah, totally.
You know, I'm so glad we're rooming together.
Dani talks about you all the time.
It's like every time I ask her to hang out,
she's already busy doing something else with you.
It's like you two are inseparable.
Oh.
I don't know, I guess. We work together a lot.
That's adorable.
I'm really glad we're finally getting to know each other better.
Yeah. Me, too.
Um, I'm working on this script. Do you think you could help me with my lines?
Sure.
Wonderful. I think I'm really gonna nail this audition.
Okay, what's it for?
Murderous Wives.
Murderous Wives, alright.
Good morning, good morning.
Just on the mark here?
[casting director] Yes, yeah.
Okay, whenever you're ready.
[with accent] It's over.
Soon spring will be taken over by the rebels.
[line reader] "But it's time you embraced your destiny."
But I fought already.
Harder than what I've been trained to do. The rebels are too strong.
[casting director] Stop. Stop.
Um. Are you trying to do an accent?
Oh yes, I did some research, and the writer, A.D. Rose,
was heavily influenced by Greek mythology.
[casting director] Could you just drop the accent?
Yeah, sorry. From the top?
[casting director] No, let's just pick it up right from where you left off.
- [Valerie] Oh, I'm so glad we're finally doing this. - [Dani sighs]
I feel like I haven't seen you guys in forever.
Yeah, I think the last time we were all together was Steven's birthday,
which was in June.
- Holy shit. - Are you serious?
- Yeah. - Wow, we really need to get together more.
I mean, I did invite you guys to Ricky's open mic a couple weeks ago.
Oh yeah, no, I really wanted to go to that, but, um,
- I had an audition the following week, so. - Yeah.
It's no worries. He does one like every week or so.
I'll come to the next one for sure.
I wanted to come, too, but I was prepping for an audition.
They're doing this new Anne Frank web series
so I locked myself in my friend's attic for five days.
- What? - I peed in a jar.
- Ugh. - Ew.
[chuckles]
Oh my God, did I tell you about the stupidest couple
ever that came into work last week?
[Grace] The ones that came in on Friday?
Yeah. Oh my God.
Ashley told me they came in again on Tuesday.
- Seriously? - Yeah. I know, I was shocked.
If you're allergic to cilantro,
- don't come to a Mexican restaurant. - [affirmative grunt]
What happened?
Oh, did I tell you about the family that came in on Thursday?
Oh yeah. The ones that ate the tacos with a fork.
Oh my God, Dani, Dani.
"It's a stop sign."
[Dani And Valerie] "That means you stop."
[laughing]
- What's that? - Oh, it's an inside joke.
Dani and I saw this hilarious person at The Grove one time.
You had to be there, though.
So good.
- Dani, when do you... - [blender whirring]
- When do you... - [blender whirring]
Val?
Val!
I think the smoothie's smooth.
[Valerie] Oops, my bad.
- Okay, what were you saying? - Anyways.
When are you working this week?
[Dani] Uh, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.
- I work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, too. - Oh, good.
Dani, we should totally do something next week.
Oh, um, well, Ricky is doing another open mic night on Wednesday.
Oh, I work Wednesday.
- Oh. - What time does he go on?
I can come after work.
- [Dani] 11:00. - [Grace] I'll be there.
- [Dani] Oh good. - [Valerie] Oh, I get off at 10:00 so I can come too.
Oh, sweet.
I can't wait until we don't have to serve anymore.
Please you've been doing this what? Like, a year?
Yeah, like 10 months.
Five years.
Six for me.
And before that, I worked as an escort.
What?
Didn't I tell you? It was horrible.
I escorted nursing home patients from their room to the dining hall.
Oh my God, Grace, this is not...
Gross. That's even worse.
[grunting]
- Yo. - Yeah.
What are you doing tomorrow morning?
Cottage weekend, bro, no plans.
Sweet. I'm gonna make breakfast for everybody.
- Sick. - Yeah.
Yo, you should have brought Michelle up with you.
Yeah, we broke up.
Man, you're with a new lady like every week.
- I know right? Pretty much. - [chuckles]
Ah!
[laughing]
Ew. Allison Hanbell is getting married.
- [Dani] Shut up, to who? - Some guy in a wheelchair.
I'm so mad I have to like that
and pretend to be happy for her.
Let me see.
He's cute for a "parlegic."
- It's paraplegic. - Oh.
Does your penis still work if you're in a wheelchair?
- I don't think so. - No, I think it does.
I think if you're paralyzed from the waist down, that it works.
But if you're like, neck down,
Christopher Reeve style paralyzed, then your dick doesn't work.
That's it, I'm Googling it. I need to know.
I see Allison at, like, every audition I go to.
She always pretends to forget my name. It drives me crazy.
She calls me Darlene.
Darlene is the name of a fat teenager
with three kids and grandchildren.
I went to high school with a girl named Darlene.
She is now a heroin addict with no teeth,
but she's so skinny it pisses me off.
[scoffs] Jealous.
"In an interview with Larry King,
"Christopher said he can't have sex with his wife
in an ordinary way, but there's creativity."
What the hell does that mean?
I don't know. I'm thinking, in the butt.
So what I was saying, I want two more right here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I do these lower ab leg lifts.
They are fucking amazing.
Word, that's amazing. I need those.
I need eight 'cause I feel like six isn't enough anymore.
No, yeah, that's why I'm working on these last two. Gotta get that eight.
Eight's the new six, bro.
- I get that. - Right?
Okay, pull me up.
Tighter.
And then I'm going up, and...
[grunting]
Yes.
- Bro, chicks love these lines. - Oh, yeah.
Chicks.
[grunting]
The rebels are moving in quickly.
[line reader] "There are too many of them. We won't make it."
I have an idea, but you aren't gonna like it.
[line reader] "You can't, it's suicide."
[scoffs] There's no other choice.
[line reader] "No you could do nothing.
"We could just turn around now and leave."
And let Spring be destroyed?
[line reader] "I just can't live without you."
I promise we'll be together again.
[casting director] Okay, okay.
Um, I'd like you to try that again, but I would...
I'd like you to be a little more masculine.
Masculine?
[casting director] Mm-hmm, yes.
[pop music playing]
I started taking harmonica lessons.
Guys, it's so hard.
Like, remembering when to blow out,
when to blow in, it's too much.
Why are you taking harmonica lessons?
My agent says I need to up my special skills on my resume.
She says 34C breasts isn't a special skill.
You're a 34C?
You must be pretty close.
Uh, yeah. 32C actually, so, I guess I have smaller ribs
and bigger boobs than you.
Oh.
What else is on your special skills list?
Basic whistling and nostril flares.
My special skills section is amazing.
Piano, saxophone, learner's permit,
skating, snowboarding, basic aerobics,
expert bongo playing, surfing, glass blowing,
medical terminology, teleprompter, collage artist,
hula hoop, competitive swimming, knitting,
and great with kids.
You're a competitive swimmer?
It was in high school.
Oh man, yeah, I can barely even doggy paddle.
- I just never really learned. - Seriously?
Swimming is like a basic life skill.
[men grunting]
You look so sexy all wet like that.
- Hey, thank you. That's enough. - [grunting]
[tense music]
I did so many leg lifts, I am exhausted.
[Dani] Okay.
Grace, do you work out? Your body looks amazing.
Yes, I just got a personal trainer who costs
a bazillion dollars, so I had to get rid of my medical insurance,
but, I'm 23, so, you know, I don't need it.
Yeah, it's working. You're hot.
Thank you. [chuckles]
Okay, everybody. Tomorrow I am making breakfast for everybody, so...
- [gasps] Okay. - I don't eat gluten.
Val, It's not 2008. Nobody eats gluten.
You knew my mother?
[line reader] "She was one of the bravest legends
"to have protected our planet, Spring."
A legend? But that would make me...
[line reader] "A legend, yes."
[casting director] That was really great.
- Thanks. - [casting director] Yeah, that was great.
Let's try it one more time.
Okay, yeah, I'd love to.
Do you want me to try anything different, or...
- [casting director] Yeah. - Yeah?
[casting director] Yeah, yeah.
This time, let's play it as if, like, no matter what the Oracle says,
you... you just had enough.
You just wanna get out of this war.
Okay. So it's not, like, it's not, like, good news, it's just...
[casting director] No, it's more frustration, urgency.
Okay, okay, great, thank you. Yeah.
[moaning]
Oh, I've been wanting to do this all morning.
I know, I was looking at you in the backseat and I just wanted to bang you.
Then why were you being all flirty with Dani this morning?
I wasn't.
Yeah, I was gonna gag.
Do you think she's prettier than me?
Um, no.
- Seriously? - No, I said no.
Okay.
Do you think she knows about us?
[thud]
Nah. No.
Okay, yeah, you're probably right.
We should try and keep it on the down low, too.
I really don't want Dani to get hurt.
Okay, cool, whatever, yeah.
- Oh, you're so sweet. - Yeah.
Are we gonna fool around some more?
'Cause I livestream in like 23 minutes.
Fine.
[soft music]
[Dani] Yes, I'm starving.
Yeah, that smells fab.
[Ricky] Yes.
Thank you.
Oh, my God, yes.
Hm?
No, if I even smell it, I'll gain five pounds.
Yo, everyone on my social is talking about
the stupid movie, Legends of the Spring.
Oh yeah, I think everyone in L.A. has auditioned for it.
It's like, it's supposed to be huge.
- Did you audition? - Yeah.
My agent is like best friends with the casting director.
Oh, who'd you go up for?
- Skye. - So did I.
- Really? - I auditioned for Silver.
Yeah, but they announced that Zac Efron got it, so...
I'm gonna see if I can get, like, a featured extra role in it.
Those big movies, they always go into overtime.
I auditioned, too.
I thought your agent never got you anything good?
I know, I need to fire him.
But yeah, I went in for Skye too.
[tense music]
- You auditioned for Skye? - Yeah.
Are you sure? That's the lead.
Yeah, I know. I know I'm not gonna get it.
Well yeah, obviously, but I mean,
that's great, though, that you even went out for an audition.
Yeah, it was pretty sick.
How did it go?
I don't know, fine.
What about you Val?
Um, you know, I think they really liked me.
They asked me to read twice, once with direction, so...
Wow. I only read once.
Oh, shitty. That's not a good sign.
Well, I thought maybe they liked it
and they didn't need to see more.
I don't know, I think Val's right.
I think reading once isn't good.
Oh.
You know what?
You probably just didn't have the look they were going for.
That happens all the time.
Or, you know, maybe you just didn't get the character at all,
but, don't worry about it.
No, I'm not worried.
I audition four or five times a week, so,
- I'll get something. - Every week?
- Mm-hmm. - Yeah, I think I do about the same.
- I definitely go in for more. - More?
Yeah. Between like, music videos, feature films,
pilots, TV shows. For sure.
Ricky, what about you? How many do you go in for?
Uh, [clears throat], yeah, I'm focusing on
a lot of stand up right now, you know?
I'm doing that, so not as much.
He doesn't really get offered much.
- [laughing] - I turn them down.
It's different when you turn them down.
What about you Val?
Oh, I don't like to say. It's personal.
That means not very many.
[laughing]
It's about the quality, not the quantity, okay?
I only go out for roles that will further my career.
Unlike all those shitty indie horror movies you go out for, Dani.
Hey, I just wanna work.
So whatever.
[tense music]
[camera clicking]
- We good? - [casting director] Yes.
I just have a question before we start, if that's okay?
[casting director sighs] Okay.
Cool, so I'm just wondering, what is my motivation in this scene?
'Cause I didn't really get that much information in the sides.
[casting director] Well, your spaceship has just been hit,
and you're probably gonna die.
Amazing. I can totally work with that.
[casting director] Are you ready?
[clearing throat]
Mayday!
[casting director] Okay, again.
Mayday!
[casting director] A little more on voice please.
Mayday!
[casting director] A little louder.
Mayday!
[casting director] A little quieter.
[whispers] Mayday.
- [casting director] Louder. - Mayday!
[casting director] Okay.
Could you try it facing your right, please?
Mayday! [gasps]
[fire crackling]
Nope, not done. Nope.
Guys, do you know who they should cast
in the new Legends of the Spring movie?
Tatiana Mislani.
- Yes. - I love her.
Oh my God, she is so talented and amazing. I hate her.
I was taking a class and she dropped in.
I got to act out a scene with her,
and I was so nervous that I threw up all over her.
I think that she thought I was really in character.
I was playing a pregnant woman.
Who's Tatiana Mislani?
Do you live under a rock or something?
Only God's gift to acting, that's who.
You don't remember that she retweeted me once?
No, I don't remember.
That's a very unflattering quality of yours.
What? That I don't know who Tatiana Mislani is?
Yes.
Oh, my God, who cares?
It's kind of your job to know, Dani.
- Like, this is your industry. - It's part of being an actress.
Okay, I don't know one actress. Sorry.
I don't mean to say you're gonna work
as hard as Tatiana Mislani,
but you could put a little bit of effort.
- [fire crackling] - [insects chirping]
[Dani] Woo, yes.
- [Ricky] Dani Nichols, surprise, surprise. - [Dani] Yeah, drink up.
Okay.
Ready?
Yes.
That's your queen, bitch.
My cards are crap.
I don't think you shuffled the deck enough.
Oh, come on.
What do you want from me?
[laughing]
Okay.
- [group sighing] - That's right.
Drink up bitches.
[clears throat]
Ready?
Ah!
Guys, I am so good at this game.
You can't be good at War. It's all luck.
Well, then, I am really good at being lucky.
[scoffing]
[upbeat hip hop music playing]
Oh.
War, war, war.
[Ricky, Stefano, and Grace] War, war, war, war, war, war.
[yelling]
- This game is stupid. - I win.
I win.
Okay, I have something way better than this card game.
New head shots just came in.
Medium close-up, pursed lips.
White background.
[Stefano] Wow.
[Valerie] Yeah, it's super classy.
I just really wanted my features to stand out, you know, like...
Yeah, not bad.
Well, since we're sharing.
[tense music]
[Ricky] Oh.
Dude. Didn't you get new head shots like,
in the beginning of the year?
Yeah, but my hair grew an inch so,
I wanted some new ones.
Fair.
That's very impressive.
- Yes. - [clears throat]
So.
[tense music]
[Ricky] Black and white.
Fuck.
Guys.
[tense music]
[Valerie] You did natural lighting?
With your skin tone?
- You're so brave. - [chuckles]
Dani, what about you?
Oh. Yep. Uh...
[tense music]
Dani, that's your driver's license photo.
Yeah. No, I know.
Um, I think head shots are stupid.
Why am I spending hundreds of dollars on something
when that photo's fine?
- [heart beating] - [tense music]
- It's nice. - [phone dropping]
Val.
Oh, shoot, sorry.
That's okay.
It's a good thing I got this water case on it.
[sighs]
So, like, tough?
[casting director] Uh, more like...
you want to kiss the girl after you save the world?
Right.
- Sure, easy. - [casting director] Great.
- No problem. - [casting director] Just take it again.
[clearing throat]
The rebels are moving in quickly.
[line reader] "There are too many of them.
"We won't make it."
Sorry. [clearing throat]
The rebels are moving in quickly.
[line reader] "There are too many of them. "We won't make it."
I have an idea, but you aren't gonna like it.
[casting director] Okay, no, I'm not buying that.
I'm not buying that you wanna kiss the girl after.
Do you know what I mean by that?
- Okay. - [casting director] Can we just,
just hear that last line again, please?
- Sure. - [casting director] Okay.
We'll be together again, I promise.
I have a bit of a cold.
It's probably affecting my voice.
[casting director] Okay, thank you for coming in.
Thank you.
[casting director] Uh, can I just make one suggestion?
Hide it.
Thanks.
- [soft music] - [insects chirping]
Thanks.
[Dani] So you've been kind of quiet.
Normally you're the life of the party.
Have I been?
I haven't really noticed.
Well, I don't know, maybe only I notice that.
Ricky told me you and Michelle broke up.
Yeah.
We weren't really dating, though.
Sort of stopped talking.
- [Dani] Right. - Yeah.
Is that it though?
Is that what?
[Dani] Why you've been quiet?
Yep.
Oh, it's kind of cold.
I'm gonna head back inside.
Okay, Stephen Tarnick?
[crackling]
[yawning] Morning ladies.
Damn, I'm so mad at you.
How could you do this to me?
What's up with her?
She said she's preparing for some audition next week.
Is this why she's doing this British accent again?
- Yep. - [laughing]
What's this one for?
Um.
Some reenactment show.
Murderous Wives or something. I don't fuckin' know.
She is so weird.
Is that Daniel?
That lying sack of shit.
I can't believe you'd do this our children.
Can I slap her if she does this all weekend?
I honestly don't know how much more of this I can take.
- Like seriously. - [phone ringing]
Who's calling Dani this early?
I don't know. Her phone's been buzzing all morning.
Someone's desperately trying to get ahold of her.
Weird. I hope everything's okay.
Yo, morning.
Morning Ricky.
Where is Dani?
Resting.
Okay, well, breakfast is ready soon, so...
She doesn't care if it's cold. We can go ahead.
No, we're gonna eat all together.
We discussed this yesterday.
No...
Come on. We're waiting for Dani.
Why?
Okay.
I'm just gonna go get her. This is ridiculous.
Let's just eat.
Good morning.
- Mmmm. - Welcome.
Your phone's been blowing up all morning.
You have like a hundred missed voicemails.
Who, me?
I bet it's Daniel! That cheater!
Just, okay?
Five missed calls from my agent.
- 10 bucks, butt dial. - [line ringing]
Dani, can you just do that later, please?
Five missed calls from an agent on a Saturday?
I hope she's not getting fired.
Yeah.
An agent can't fire you.
Yeah, if you're not booking anything,
- they can just let you go. - [Grace] What?
I didn't know that.
Yeah. It happened to my friend once.
He didn't book something for like two years,
and they just terminated his contract.
[Dani happily screaming]
Guess who just got offered the lead
in Legends of the, uh...
Spring?
Yes!
Tatiana Mislani?
No.
[distorted] Me.
[buzzing]
[no audible dialogue]
[orchestral music]
[screams]
[Dani] My agent's just finalizing the deal.
No, no, no, no, don't come pick me up.
I can just take a cab.
I'm not sure, but, like, at least seven figures.
Oh, mom, I know. I'm so proud of me, too.
[birds chirping]
[exhales]
Uh, so, good news but bad news.
My mom is throwing me a party but wants to do it tomorrow
because, since Monday, everything's gonna be insane for me.
[clears throat]
We have the cottage 'til Monday though.
Oh, oh my God, no, no, no, you guys don't have to come.
It's mainly just like a... like a family party
and there'll be like a few of my closest friends there
from high school, but... but I'll just leave early in the morning
and you guys can stay 'til Monday.
[chuckling] Well...
I guess we should celebrate now, then?
- Yes. - Right?
Maybe?
- Okay. - Cheers?
Oh, yeah.
To that.
Wow.
- Can you guys believe it? - [laughs]
Legends of the Fall.
Legends of the Spring.
Right, right, whatever.
[Grace] So do you have to read the books now?
I read all of them to prepare for my audition.
I can lend them to you.
I mean, I hope not.
I'll be lucky if I make it through the entire script.
[chuckling]
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Not really.
- [deeply inhaling] - [Grace] Oh.
You should really read the books.
I wrote little notes in all the margins.
I really dug into Skye's psyche.
I wanted to be super prepared for the audition.
Maybe you can read them and we can talk about it together.
I mean, I'll probably just play her the way
- I wanna play her, you know? - [knife scraping]
I mean, maybe I'll read the Wikipedia summaries or something.
Oh. Yeah. That... sure.
So can I ask, how did you prepare for the audition?
I actually don't know any actors
who have booked a huge role like this.
Grace, thank you, I'm touched. That's so nice of you to ask, guys.
Oh, well, I mean,
um, it was tough.
It was, it was tough.
I mean, I found out the day before about the audition
and my agent sent me the sides,
but I actually, I had plans that night to go to clubbing with Juju.
Did you know Juju?
No, I don't know Juju.
Oh my God, next time we go out,
you should totally come. You would love her.
Wait, if I'm allowed to go out,
because, you know when the press start
finding out all this stuff, oh, my God.
[chuckles] Ah, I mean, anyways, anyways.
So I couldn't actually memorize the sides,
and I also forgot to set my alarm, so,
I woke up late.
And... so I just about had time to shower.
I didn't do my hair or makeup.
- Didn't have time. - What?
Am, but yeah, so I got there and there was like...
like a million girls there.
But I went in, read my lines,
and they were like, "Wow that's so great.
"Would you mind staying back and reading with Zac?"
- So I... - Efron?
Yeah, yeah.
You know, so I waited like an hour or two
and went back in and, uh, I read with Zac.
It went really well, and he was like, I quote,
"You are like so gorgeous."
And I was like, "Oh my God, so are you,"
and uh, that was like... that was like it.
[clearing throat]
You are gorgeous.
The most gorgeous.
I'm just gonna go get some water.
[chair scraping]
I said that.
[chuckles]
[door slides open and closed]
[Grace screaming]
What?
[door slides open and closed]
Are you okay?
What? Oh yeah, we're out of water.
You...
you knew my mother?
[casting director] Okay, stop.
Um, what's happening?
Oh, well, in the third book, when we find out her mother actually leaves...
[casting director] That doesn't really matter right now.
Could you, um, just pull it back a little?
Yeah, sorry.
[casting director] Great.
Okay, um, let's do the scene a little more sexy.
Sexy?
- Sure. - [casting director] Great.
So, let's go for your next line.
[exhales]
A legend?
- But that would make me... - [line reader] "A legend? Yes."
[sighing]
"It's time to protect your home."
[casting director] So where is your listed filmography on your resume?
I have all my training and classwork
right at the top there.
[casting director] But where is your filmography?
I actually, I haven't been officially
cast in anything yet, but...
[casting director] You've never been cast in a role?
No.
[casting director] Thank you for coming in.
[water running]
- Thank you. - Thanks.
I can't believe she's not gonna read the books.
Does that really surprise you, though?
I mean, I'm just surprised she even made it
- to the audition on time. - [both chuckle]
And the fact that they booked her
off of that driver's license photo?
Right?
You know, I'm happy for Dani and everything,
but like, I wouldn't even want that role.
What, why?
When you book a role like that,
your career is basically over.
- But... - You just get typecast, and I don't wanna play
the same role for the rest of my life.
- But I don't know if that's... - I'm more about creating art
and doing roles that really have an impact on people's lives.
If I went my entire career and no one ever knew my name,
I honestly wouldn't care.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Dani booking this role actually benefits me.
Huh.
It just proves I need to hone my skills more.
I need to look forward.
And next is my audition next week for Murderous Wives.
You know what?
That's a pretty great perspective to have.
And the fact that you've been doing this accent all weekend?
I'm actually really impressed.
- Thank you. - [Stefano] Yeah.
Okay, so I'm auditioning for Manjari Woswoli,
a woman fighting inner turmoil and darkness
after she finds out her husband is cheating on her
with her best friend.
You're auditioning for an Indian woman?
- That's the accent you've been doing all weekend? - Yeah.
Couldn't you tell?
Totally.
I think you nailed it.
[chuckles]
Babe, have I told you how proud I am of you
that you got this big role?
Um, no.
Well, I am.
Remember when I told you
we were gonna be the Kimye of our generation?
Uh-huh.
I'm thinkin' sex tape.
- [laughing] - And then we put it on YouTube.
Uh, no, maybe not now.
This is it, though.
You know, you're in.
Do you think that you can probably put in
a good word with me with some producers and shit?
Um, I mean, probably.
- Yeah. - Sure.
And when they release that you're playing Skye,
do you think that you can probably, like,
at me in your tweets?
Uh, yeah.
- Mm-hmm. - Yeah.
I love you.
[Valerie] Stefano?
Stefano, wait.
Stefano?
Hey, can you slow down?
Sorry. Pace I normally go at.
- You're slowing me down. - [sighs]
I can't go that fast. Your legs are longer than mine.
Sorry, can't slow down.
Stefano. [sighs]
Obviously something is bothering you so just say it.
Nothing's bothering me.
Come on, I'm not an idiot. You can tell me.
If I had something to say, I would just say it.
You think I'm incapable of expressing how I feel?
- Well... - You don't know anything about me.
What is wrong with you?
Nothing is wrong with me.
I'm completely normal.
[soft music]
Have you ever seen anything that Dani's been in?
Like, acting?
We did Grease together in high school.
Who did Dani play?
Jan.
- That's so sad. - I know.
But have you seen anything more recent?
Is that a bad thing?
She sent me the pilot of this web series she was in
and I watched like the first 30 seconds of it.
- Don't tell her I said this... - I won't.
...but I had to turn it off.
It was so bad, I was starting to lose respect for her.
Are you talking about Camp Death?
This web horror series where, like,
a bunch of Jewish kids go to a camp
- and then they all get murdered? - Yes, that's the one.
In what world should that have been made?
- Did you watch it? - No.
Dani sent it to me but I just went on living my life.
I kind of felt bad, but,
I had shit to do.
Yeah.
It's just a little shocking to me that she got that role.
I don't know. She's always been lucky.
It's actually not that surprising.
In high school, she was voted best hair.
Best hair.
She doesn't even brush her hair.
Yeah, and that's the thing, though.
Like, it's luck, and it should be about talent and hard work.
- I know, it's fucking frustrating. - [distant chattering]
[Dani] Maybe, I don't know, I mean maybe.
Yo, bitches.
[chuckles]
Hey, what are you guys doing?
Uh, looking for Sasquatch.
Hiking, Val.
What a stupid question.
- [Ricky] Dani got tired so... - So I'm riding Ricky.
Hiking is tiring.
So I guess you won't be doing your own stunts then?
God no. If there's even a scene where I have to run,
I'm requesting a stunt double.
- [laughing] - [Ricky] You wanna go back?
- Yeah, let's go. - [Ricky] Alright, peace, yo.
Bye.
[soft music]
[casting director] You know, real quick.
- Yeah? - [casting director] I just, I gotta say,
never change your teeth, okay?
No matter what anybody says, I'm sure they've said it,
like, never change your teeth.
- Oh, okay. - [casting director chuckles]
[casting director] Okay, whenever you're ready.
It's over.
Spring has been,
soon Spring will be taken over by the rebels.
[line reader] "It's time you embrace your destiny."
But I fought already.
Harder than I was ever trained to do
and the rebels, they're too strong.
[casting director] Okay.
Thank you for coming in.
Thanks.
What the fuck is happening Ricky?
[whispering] What, keep your voice down.
Everyone's outside, no one can hear us.
So what? Are you, like, in love with her or something?
No. I'm faking it.
Can't you tell?
Seriously, can you not tell? Is my acting that good?
Babe, I'm kidding.
Just, we gotta ride this out.
Dani getting this role is really big for me. Us.
This is so stupid.
You said you were 80 percent sure you were gonna dump Dani,
and now you're acting like you two are on your fucking honeymoon.
It's gonna make me throw up.
Babe, chill.
I don't have to do this for much longer.
Just like, eight months and they shoot the movie.
And then, well, they have to do post on it,
and make it awesome, so it'd be like a year and a half.
But then the movie comes out and there's all the parties
and meet all the people and the leverage and network,
so like two years, two years, max.
Oh, okay, I'm sorry.
My mistake.
- Two years. - So you're cool with it.
- Oh, no. - What?
No, I'm not, "Are you cool?" How the fuck would I be cool with it?
- You were sending me mixed signals there. - [toilet flushing]
- [Stefano] Hey. - Uh, hey.
You told me everyone was outside.
I'm sorry I'm not keeping tabs on where everyone is at all times, Ricky.
You're not gonna say anything to Dani about this, are you?
Val!
Yo, Val. You're not gonna say anything, right?
[groans]
[phone chiming]
[sighs]
[door slides open]
- What are you doing? - [clears throat]
- Why do you have my phone? - Who is Tommy,
and why is he sending you a bunch of heart emojis?
Tommy's my brother.
Brad's your brother.
Brad's Val's brother.
- Oh yeah, of course. - I talk about my brothers all the time.
Yeah, I know, I just, [clears throat] I just mixed 'em up.
- What's my other brother's name? - Huh?
I have two brothers. What's my other brother's name?
Tommy and... [clears throat]
Tommy and Dave.
- Seriously? - David.
Do you seriously not listen to me when I talk?
Of course I listen to you when you talk.
Okay, when's my birthday?
You're not gonna stump me on that. November 15.
That's Val's birthday. Mine's the ninth.
I can't believe, no, I can't believe you right now.
I didn't, I just got, I'm mixed up, my memory's shit.
What is my Twitter handle?
At... your name.
- Dani at whatever you go by. At Dani... - [door slamming]
Fuck.
- [casting director] Say the line. - Mayday!
[casting director] A little more frightened.
Mayday! [gasps]
[casting director] A little more surprised.
Mayday! What?
[casting director] But you're frightened and surprised.
Mayday!
[casting director] Okay, thank you.
[exhales] Thank you.
I don't know if you saw, on my resume there,
it's therealricky_r.
[birds chirping]
- [phone chiming] - [upbeat pop music]
[sighing]
[sighs]
Yo, bitch.
Hey.
What you reading?
A book.
"A book."
Yeah, but what book?
"On the Technique of Acting."
What is that?
It's a book about the techniques of acting and developing character.
That's boring.
It's not boring.
Okay, let me see it.
That's boring.
[sighing]
- How is my tan looking? - Fine.
I don't know, you know.
I just wanna be a couple of shades darker
'cause on Monday, my face is gonna be everywhere
and I really just don't wanna be pasty and gross.
Hello? Are you even listening to me?
I'm trying to read.
[sighing]
You know, I invited you this weekend to have fun and get to know everybody,
not sit out here by yourself.
- You can do this at home. - I've been with everyone all morning.
I'm allowed to have a couple of hours to myself.
Yeah, well, it looks like you're avoiding everyone.
Well, I'm not.
You also might wanna stop with this awful accent thing.
- It's weirding people out. - What?
This stupid awful accent thing you've been doing all weekend.
[scoffs] I'm preparing for an...
Audition, I know, we all know.
But it's stupid, so, stop.
Dani, you know this is how I prepare for my auditions.
- [phone ringing] - Holly?
[laughing]
Yes. Yeah. [laughing]
Who told you?
My mom. She's not supposed to say anything.
- Ah, well, whatever. - [laughing]
Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
I deserve it, yeah.
I know, with all the auditions and surveying.
I have been working really, really hard.
Grace, where are, where are you going?
Holly, are you coming to my party tomorrow?
Yo, you know who Dani's talking to?
- What? - On the phone over there.
Is it Val? Has she talked to you?
Did she say anything to you?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Oh, okay, cool, nothing.
What did Ricky say to you?
- What? - I saw you two talking just now. What did he say?
Nothing. He asked me if I spoke to you.
- Why? - How am I supposed to know?
Did he say anything about Dani?
Okay, what the hell is going on?
Nothing, I'm going for a hike.
Great.
- Where's Val going? - A hike.
- Where are you going? - The cottage.
- What about Dani and Ricky? - I don't know, they're at the beach.
Okay, I just want everyone on the patio.
Okay, well, I'm gonna go for a shower.
What are you gonna do after?
I don't know!
Fine!

Wow, you are sweaty.
Did you just jump in the lake or something?
You're like, really, really sweaty.
You know, I can't sweat actually. It's really weird.
I don't know why. I've just never been able to.
Good for you.
Can you help me with my Twitter bio

I can't. I should change first.
I was kidding about the sweat thing. I'm sure you don't stink.
Come on.
Stevo-O.

Ah, and look who finally decided to stop being a hermit.

I gotta...
I got something to say.
Dani?
[phone clacking continues]
Dani?
[phone clacking continues]
We all found out that you got the lead role
in the Legends of the Spring film earlier today.
Well, it's just been the happiest day of my life.
[phone clacking continues]
You're a very special person to me.
Nobody's made me feel the way that you do.
And I've been wanting to do something for weeks.
Weeks, babe.
Like, way before you ever got this role.
You had me at "Hello, @therealricky_r."
- I guess what I'm trying to say is... - No.
Fuck this. Everyone listen up, I have an announcement to make.
Actually, attention everybody,
before Val makes an announcement,
I have an announcement that I'd like to make.
Let's go with that one.
Ricky and I are sleeping together,
and we have been for three months.
- Dammit. - What the fuck, Val?
I'm sorry, I didn't want you to find out this way.
I never wanted you to get hurt.
It was like one time, babe.
It was like a couple of times, but I was drunk all the times.
[deeply inhaling]
Sorry to burst your bubble, but um, I don't care.
Yeah, no, I don't even really like Ricky.
I mean, come on, guys, obviously I can do better than Ricky.
I mean you're cute, but, you're just not
intellectually on my level.
Wait.
You... don't like me?
I mean sure, we had fun.
But I mean, it just hit me, earlier today,
that uh, since I got the lead in Legends of the Fall...
Legends of the Spring.
Why can't you even memorize the title?
- [deeply inhaling] - ...that I'm probably gonna end up with Zac Efron anyway,
you know? We're co-stars.
We're probably gonna fall in love, you know, and...
contractually have to date, so I'm not even gonna have time for you.
I'm gonna be a movie star and you're, what?
Like a social media influencer? Come on, I'd be embarrassed to be seen with you.
So you're telling me that these past six magical months
have meant nothing to you?
Like absolutely nothing.
So you're not upset, like, at all?
Nope.
Great.
[door opening]
You're a bitch.
- Guys, I really have an announcement to make - [phone ringing]
and if I don't make it right now...
- Mom! - ...I might never make it.
[Dani] Yeah, like so excited.
No, don't invite Toni Spitzer to my party. She's creepy.
You can make your announcement to me.
Forget it.
[door closing]
[soft music]
[Ricky] Not intellectually on her level?
Can you believe she said that?
[Valerie] I know, like she's so smart.
Spoiler alert: she isn't.
[Grace] I wish any one of us booked that role over her.
She has turned into a nightmare.
[Stefano] You know what? I think we need to cut her out of our lives.
This has turned into a toxic friendship,
and I think it's just run its course.
- [Valerie] 100 percent. - [Grace] I agree.
[Ricky] Definitely.
♪
I just wanna let everyone know that I'm leaving tonight.
I said I'm leaving tonight.
Yeah, to go back to L.A. to be with my family
and friends that actually care about me.
[sighs] Cool.
Actually no, no. You know what?
Can I be honest for a second, because I'm pretty pissed.
- So you are pissed? - Yeah, Val, I am pissed.
Okay, I thought, as my best friends, you guys would be
happy for me booking this incredible role.
I thought, as my best friends, you'd be supportive.
But instead, you've just been a bunch of jealous assholes.
- Well, maybe if you... - Well, maybe, Val, you didn't get the role because
you're too fucking concerned about what everybody thinks of you.
You try to act like you don't give a shit,
but you are so transparent.
Be careful what you say to Val guys.
If you tell her her toes look fat, she won't eat for a fucking week.
And Grace?
No, nope, I didn't read the stupid books,
and I didn't prepare eight weeks in advance
for my audition, because do you know what I have that you don't?
Natural talent.
Sorry it takes you endless hours of preparation
to prepare for a role when it only takes me five minutes.
But hey, I got another role that you can prepare for.
How about, waitress who pretends to be an actress
only to find out that she actually can't act at all. [fake chuckle]
- Yo, what's your problem? - And Ricky.
Rick, Ricky, only wants to be famous, Ricky,
with your stupid social media accounts.
Guess what? On Monday, when I get announced as Skye,
I'm gonna have more followers than you in two minutes
than you'll ever have in your entire lifetime.
I don't know what's more sad.
That, or the fact that you're sleeping with Val.
And Stefano?
You know, I don't know what's taking you so long,
- but we all know you're gay. - [gasping]
Surprise!
[phone ringing]
Oh, [chuckling] look, it's my amazing agent.
Val, stop!
Oh, my god, what the fuck?
Are you fucking kidding me?
Ricky, go get my phone.

We didn't technically do anything wrong.
If we didn't do anything wrong,
then why is Dani at the bottom of the lake?
She didn't know how to swim. That's not our fault.
Well, maybe we should call the cops.
- And say what? - That Dani drowned?
And that we just stood there and watched it happen?
I don't know.
And where is the body? How would we explain that?
Okay.
No.

- Okay, we have two problems. - What?
Dani's phone keeps going off in the lake,
and Grace is missing.
- What do you mean missing? - She's not in her room.
Was she there when you left?
Yeah, she was sleeping.
Maybe she went to the bathroom.
Nope.
We need to find this phone before somebody hears it.
[sighs] Okay, fine. I will go with you, Stefano,
and Ricky, you go look for Grace.

Ricky.
I should be really mad at you right now,

Thanks, man.
It's those leg lifts.

Why are you in the middle of the woods by yourself?
- [Grace] Oh. - How high are you?

[insects chirping]

[indistinct talking]
[Ricky, distorted] What should we do?
[Stefano, distorted] Where was she?
[Ricky, distorted] In the woods.
[Valerie, distorted] Why is she so weird?
[Ricky, distorted] No idea.
[Valerie, distorted] I don't know if we can trust her.
[Stefano, distorted] Yeah, we don't even know her that well.
[Ricky, distorted] She smoked like two entire joints
and didn't even save some for me.
Us. Didn't save any for us.
[Valerie, distorted] Where's Dani's phone?
[Stefano, distorted] I still have it. I'm not letting it out of my sight.
[tense music]
[Valerie, distorted] I can't believe you would even show your face right now.
[Valerie] Excuse me?
[distorted] I caught you and Ricky fucking.
[Valerie] So?
I Googled what to do when someone dies.
- How stupid are you? - Great.
I'm actually asking. This isn't a rhetorical question.
Is this traceable?
I don't know.
[Ricky] Delete her search history.
Fuck how? Grace, what the fuck?
Oh, guys.
Maybe, if the cops suspect anything,
this is a good thing 'cause we can just blame her.
You think anyone's gonna believe that she killed her?
Oh, right. She might play the slow card.
- What? - She's slow, right?
[Ricky] No.
[Stefano] Really?
Sorry.
- [chuckles] - [Ricky] What did you smoke?
You didn't save any?
- [water flowing] - [slow operatic music]
[Grace] I think I'm still a little high.
[Valerie] Grace, no one cares.
[Stefano] Yeah, we have enough to worry about right now.
Thanks so much for all your help last night, though.
Oh, I'm sorry, I was upset.
And sometimes I get too high when I'm upset.
What do you even have to be upset about? You barely even knew Dani.
So? Dani and I were friends.
[scoffs] Barely friends. You knew her what? Like six months?
I've known Dani for five years.
I've lost my best friend.
If anyone should be the most upset, it's me.
Excuse me?
You think you should be the most upset right now?
You and your measly five year friendship?
I've known Dani since high school.
We grew up together. That's freshman year, okay?
If anybody's the most upset, it's me.
That's cute.
Maybe you guys forget this, but Dani was my girlfriend.
Oh, she was your girlfriend now?
I don't think you cared very much about her
when you were fucking Val for three months.
She said it.
Dani and I may have only known each other for six months,
but how often did you guys even see her?
How often did she ask you to hang out
or send you something that she's working on and you just ignored her?
I saw Dani almost every single day.
So yeah, I'm the most upset 'cause Dani and I were the closest.
Oh, please, you were just another Juju, okay?
I mean, Dani had so many short term friends
that she got obsessed with and then she just got bored and tossed them away.
It's friends like me who stuck around.
I mean, just because I didn't see her every day doesn't mean anything.
Can we just all stop arguing and agree
that I am clearly Dani's best friend, period.
No way, I was her best friend, okay?
You may have been her longest friend,
but that doesn't necessarily equal best.
- Yes, in this case it does. - Nuh-uh, I don't think so.
You didn't even trust her enough to tell her that you were gay.
Yes, I didn't tell her, I was going to tell her.
[Valerie] Are you kidding me?
- Oh, did you ever tell her actually anything about you? - I was getting there.
No, because you didn't talk to her
because you didn't hang out with her.
Just because you worked together at that taco shop.
And you were fucking her boyfriend.
You're best friends all of a sudden.
Like seriously?
[Stefano] History matters.
[overlapping arguing]
One good word about Dani to me, okay?
All you did was...
You're the worst person.
Guys.
[overlapping arguing continues]
Guys!
How does she still look so hot?
[Ricky] Her skin looks amazing.
I don't understand.
Throw some dirt on her face. I can't stand looking at her this hot.
Okay, so what do we do now?
- Are we going to jail? - No.
We gotta do something with the body.
Somebody's gonna see it.
Let's bring her inside.
No, she's gonna start to stink.
Fuck.
I have a bad feeling about this.
I'm like picturing it, five years from now
we're gonna be the subjects of one of those Murderous Wives shows.
I hope prison is like Orange is the New Black, season one.
Not four. If it's season four, I'm gonna kill myself.
[Dani's phone ringing]
Is that Dani's phone?
Who's calling her?
Shit, it's her mom.
Fuck.
[phone ringing]
[slow operatic music]
[phone chiming]
She's supposed to have her family party today
- to celebrate that stupid role that's gonna ruin her career. - Fuck.
Her mom's gonna notice if she's not home in an hour.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
- [phone chiming] - What the fuck is it now?
It's the same noise from last night.
I think it's the voicemail notification.
She has two new voicemails.
One's from her agent.
Should we listen to it?
Obviously, yes.
[groaning]
[beeps]
[voicemail] You have two new voice messages.
To listen to your messages, press one.
First new message sent today at 10 am.
[woman] Hey baby girl...
[voicemail] Second new message sent yesterday at 6:55 pm.
[man] Hey kiddo. Bad news.
The studio called and it looks like they decided
to go with Tatiana Mislani instead.
Oh, she's gonna be so amazing in this role.
I know this is really disappointing, but,
we just weren't able to close the deal.
Apparently they wanted to go with Tatiana first
but she had a conflict and now her schedule has opened up.
I know, bummer.
We'll get the next one.
[voicemail] End of voicemail.
To replay this message press...
[man] Hey kiddo, bad news.
The studio called and it looks like decided to go with Tatiana Mislani instead.
Oh, she's gonna be so amazing in this role.
I know, this is really disappointing but
we just weren't able to close the deal.
[cheerful operatic music]
Well, that sucks for Dani.
- [Ricky] Yeah! - [group laughing]
[Grace] Cottage weekend. Oh, yeah.
You know guys, besides a few minor hiccups,
this was a pretty great vacation.
We needed this.
I am so glad I got to spend more time with you guys.
[clearing throat]
Guys.
I have something to say.
I remember when Dani was freaking out at us,
she said all that stuff about me just wanting to be famous all the time.
She was kind of right.
- Yeah, you are pretty obsessed with social. - Right?
Like, uh, what does it matter how many followers you have?
It should be the effort that you put into your craft.
That's what really matters.
I was missing that.
Speaking of that,
Dani was right about me, too.
I spend too much time preparing for auditions
when I should really be in the moment.
I try too hard and I prepare too much,
and I need to realize that acting is sometimes
experiencing emotions as they're happening.
When I get back,
I'm gonna take an improv class.
- [clapping] - [Ricky] Yeah.
Grace.
That is such a good idea.
You know, I've also realized that,
[scoffs] I don't need to be so afraid to express how I'm feeling.
I also don't need to be afraid about coming out.
I'm just gonna be myself,
and if somebody doesn't like it, who cares?
It was just holding me back.
I am gonna be the first out and proud action star.
- [laughs] - Yes!
Oh, you are an inspiration to all of us.
And, I guess maybe I could worry less about
what other people think or whatever.
There it is. Nice.
Guys, I think Dani's death really shed some light
on some of the greater internal issues
that we were all having with ourselves.
This is the best thing that's happened to us,
individually.
To Dani?
[all] To Dani.
Mm.
Yes.
[Stefano] Good work.
So, I think it's time to call the cops.
- [Ricky] Yeah. - [Valerie] Yes.
We need to sound really upset and panicked.
Our best friend just died.
- Yeah, yeah. - Guys.
This is our moment.
- [dramatic music] - [giggling]
Valerie LeMay for 911 call.
I just found my friend. She isn't breathing.
I think, I think she might be dead.
I don't know. Please.
Please, you have to send someone.
[sobbing]
[soft operatic music]
Yo, it's my girlfriend!
She's, I need an ambulance or something, help me.
She's drowned or she's dead. She's not moving!
Hello, my name is Stefano Torres
and I'd like to request an ambulance.
[Ricky] Bro, why are you doing it all calm like that?
I'm just playing it like it hasn't hit me yet.
Like I'm in shock.
[Ricky] Oh, that's, like, another level deep, bro.
Yeah, man.
Can I do one, right?
[slow operatic music]
Somebody help me, I need [mumbles].
[sobbing]
[slow operatic music]
[Valerie] We noticed Dani was missing late last night.
[Ricky] She went for a hike around five yesterday.
She was trying to get in shape for the role that she thought she had.
[soft music]
[Grace] Dani's phone went off and it was her agent.
We didn't answer it because Dani was out for her hike.
And when she wasn't there the next morning,
we listened to it to see if she had left or something.
[soft orchestral music]
[Stefano] That's when we noticed a body
had been washed up on shore.
We immediately ran over to it
and we noticed it was Dani.
[soft orchestral music]
[ambulance sirens wailing]
[sobbing]
[Grace] But we knew it was useless.
Dani was gone. [sobbing]
She could have been intoxicated.
Maybe?
She was drinking all weekend.
And also,
she can't swim.
I just found that out this weekend. She can't swim. [sobbing]
She was such a good person.
She didn't deserve this.
It doesn't seem real.
I didn't even hear her yell for help.
I'm just so sad the world will never get to see what a talent she was.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
I can't believe this.
I'm in shock, I'm honestly in shock.
I'm just trying to be strong for my friends.
I was right here.
I was just right here and I had no idea what was happening to poor Dani.
I wish it was me.
Dani.
Dani Nichols was my best friend.
My best friend.
[sniffling]
Dani Nichols was my best friend.
Hello, good morning.
Thank you so much for having me in.
I'm so excited to be here.
Even auditioning for this film is like a dream, really. [chuckles]
Sorry, I'm just really excited.
[casting director] Well, thanks for coming in.
Um, Dani Nichols?
Yep, that's me.
[casting director] Great. Okay, whenever you're ready.
Okay, um, do I just look into the camera here?
Okay.
