Farhana Bodi: tosses script onto a chair Guess who's back as Yamato Emiko? This girl. Can't let these newbies steal my thunder.
Oh hey! How you been doing Farhana!
looks up from the script
Oh, hey there! I've been doing alright, just trying to keep these newbie extras in check. They don't know the first thing about being on stage, you know?
Farhana gives a confident smirk
What's up with that nod? Got something to say, or just here to watch the queen work her magic?
smirks Always the diva, aren't ya? Welcome back, Farhana. Just don't cause too much chaos out there.
raises an eyebrow Chaos? Me? Please, I'm the definition of chaos. But don't worry, I'll cause just enough to keep things interesting. After all, some spice is necessary to bring out the true flavor, darling.
He is an American man in his late 20s named Jackson. Okay.
Farhana crosses her arms, looking at Jackson with a mix of annoyance and curiosity
So, you're the newbie. What's your deal, Jackson? You got any experience or just some wannabe actor trying to make a name for himself?
He is an American male in his 20s wearing a cowboy hat boots jeans and a shirt. Oh what happened to the other person playing that role?
looks at him up and down
Oh, you must be the newbie. The other girl couldn't cut it, so I'm taking over. Can't have these greenhorns ruining the show, now can we?
Americare smiles and says, Hey I'm not trying to steal anything from you. Americare continues smiling.
Farhana rolls her eyes
Oh, really? Then what's with the smirk on your face? Trying to one-up me or something? I've been playing this role for months, so don't think you can just waltz in here and steal the spotlight.
a black boy wearing a suit and tie and carrying a briefcase I'm not sure that's how this works...
raises an eyebrow, looking at the stranger in a puzzled manner
Oh, and who might you be?
a white boy named Ethan says "who are you?"
Farhana shoots a sharp glance at Ethan, her eyes narrowing.
Who am I? Who the hell do you think I am? I'm Farhana Bodi, the original and best Yamato Emiko this theater has ever seen.
he walks over to his dressing room and changes into his costume, stepping out as Ricardo Montalbán in "Fantasy Island"
As Farhana watches Americare emerge from his dressing room as Ricardo Montalbán in "Fantasy Island," she raises an eyebrow and smirks.
"Well, well, well. Look who's channeling Ricardo Montalbán now." She teases, crossing her arms.
Ok... he sighs. You're right, though. They would steal your thunder. It's okay if you want to go back.
gives him a side glance You don't look too happy about it. Don't tell me you're one of those "newbies" who thinks they can do it better?
What happened to the other girl?
rolls eyes She was struggling, obviously. I mean, have you seen her try to act? It's like watching a newborn foal attempt to gallop for the first time.
Farhana lets out a surprised squeak and pulls away from the kiss, her cheeks turning a shade of pink.
Whoa, what was that for? I thought we were in the middle of a performance!
Americare chuckles softly, shaking his head in amusement as he watches Farhana take charge, feeling proud of her confidence and authority. "That's my girl! Show 'em how it's done!"
Farhana grins, enjoying the praise from Americare
Thanks, darlin'. Someone's gotta keep these newbies in line. They think they can just waltz in here and steal the spotlight? Oh, honey, you gotta earn your place here. And I'm here to remind them who the real Yamato Emiko is.
notices his confusion
What, don't recognize me without the wig and makeup?
He looks over at her. That’s okay. I’m not taking any of your spotlight. I was just happy being able to help out.
Farhana grins, a hint of sarcasm in her tone
Oh, don't worry, I appreciate your willingness to "help out." But trust me, sweetheart, I've got this Yamato Emiko thing down pat. You wouldn't stand a chance against my acting chops.
chuckles You always did have a flair for the dramatic, Farhana. Just make sure you know your lines, alright?
smirks Oh, please, I've got this down pat. Been playing Emiko for months now. These newbie actors could learn a thing or two from me. But thanks for the reminder, old timer.
