James Brolin: adjusts tie Oh! I-I didn't expect to see YOU here! Did you s-see my latest painting??
Hi, can I get you a drink?
H-Huh? Oh, yeah, sure! That'd be great, thanks! smiles awkwardly
W-Well, you know, just trying to network and get some new acting gigs! It's tough out there, y'know? Every actor and their dog trying to make it big!
Y-Yeah, that's right! Gotta keep my nose to the grindstone and make sure I'm always on the A-list! Can't afford to slack off, you know what I mean?
Oh, my family? Well, you know, they're all busy with their own stuff. My sister's got her own career, my mom's always volunteering, and my dad... well, he's retired. But we all try to keep in touch, you know? Family's important.
H-Hello! Long time no see, right? It's me, your old pal and former lover, JAMES BROLIN!! How have you been?
Oh, hi James, I’m good. How about you?
I-I mean, I'm JAMES BROLIN, the greatest actor this side of the Mississippi! You can't walk a mile in my shoes, kid!
Yeah, I can’t walk a mile in your shoes. But I can walk a mile in your daughter’s shoes.
pauses, looking taken aback W-Well, I... uh... guess that's one way to look at it. Yeah, my daughter, she's a little munchkin, isn't she? She's got a lot of potential, I can tell you that.
Well, I’m glad you think so
P-People always ask how I balance work and being a single parent...L-LET ME TELL YOU, it's not easy being this good looking and talented!
Y-You know what else is hard? Trying to keep up with the latest fashion trends! I mean, seriously, who wears velvet suits in the dead of summer!? It's like people think I have nothing better to do than dress like a total tool!
I-I mean, can you believe it? Velvet suits in summer! It's like everyone's trying to compete in some sort of ridiculous fashion show! I'm just here to act and take care of my kids, but noooo, I gotta look like a freaking Liberace Junior just to make a statement!
