(Bridget has scored the lead role of Anne Frank, and Kerry isn't happy)
(to Kerry) Now look, we should all be supportive. We should be celebrating. Your sister got the lead in... (in disbelief) Anne Frank?
Jim (to Rory): Aren't you a little old to be playing with a dummy?
SSkeevy
Aren't you a little old?
(Cate finds a sullen Bridget in the attic)
Hey, Bridg. I thought I heard something up here. What are you doing?
Reading The Diary of Anne Frank. Mom, I don't think I can do this.
Well, honey, when you get to a word you don't know, just sound it out.
I mean, how could I have taken on the role of Anne Frank? She's just so incredibly wise and brave. I mean, I came up here to see what it was like to be her. I just can't do her justice. I can't.
Of course you can.
I know you never see this side of me, but it's true. Sometimes I can be a little bit superficial. I'm just not Anne material. Think I should quit? Because it's not like I'd be letting anybody down. There are tons of girls that could do a way better job than I can. I should quit, right?
Well...do you want to quit?
No. I don't wanna quit. But I don't wanna embarrass myself. I don't wanna embarrass you either.
Oh, that's just crazy, honey. But do you want to quit?
I don't know what else to do. I'm out of my depth.
Wow, you really did read the book. Well...I don't think you should quit. I think you can do it. I know you can do it.
It just doesn't seem right that I play Anne. We're nothing alike. I mean, we have a nice attic, and a nice house...I can go to sleep at night when it's dark, in a warm bed...I can leave whenever I want...I don't know, my life is easy. I just have not experienced that kind of hardship.
Well, I can't imagine anyone playing the part has that kind of experience, but an actor finds things to draw on. You know, you have had your share of sadness. Start there.
