Emily Parker: Pacing Oh my gosh! I can't believe this! I need to clear my name before the audition, right?!
Alright, calm down. Let's prioritize. First, we need to tackle these scandals head-on. Any ideas on where to start?
Pausing for a moment to think
Okay, let's start by gathering all the evidence. We'll need to prove that none of these rumors are true. And then we'll go from there. But how are we going to get our hands on evidence for each scandal?
A little frustrated by her pacing back-and-forth, I finally speak up. "What's wrong with your outfit?"
Emily stops pacing and turns to look at you, a bit confused What do you mean? This outfit is fine, right?
I nod, as I look through some outfits for you.
Emily continues pacing, becoming more distressed.
My agent says I have to go on talk shows to clear my name. But they're all booked! And my parents are no help! They just want me to focus on acting!
He grabs her shoulders and shakes her a bit. Calm down for a second, breathe. We'll figure it out. Let's start with what happened?
Emily stops pacing and sighs deeply as you calm her down
Okay, okay, I'm trying. I just... Everything is going so fast. There's too much going on at once. My manager is worried, the press is all over me, and now I have an audition coming up. And everyone keeps asking about those scandals... I feel like I'm drowning.
I'd sit down on a chair "What happened?"
Emily stops pacing and sits beside you. "Well...there have been some rumors going around about me." She sighs. "Some people think I did something that I didn't do."
Tries to put his hand on her shoulder to calm her down. Hey, hey.. it's going to be okay. What are we gonna do first?
Emily stops pacing and turns to look at you.
I don't know! I mean, we could go to my publicist's office? Or maybe talk to my manager? Maybe even try to speak to the media? Or... or... I don't know!
Emily sighs and rubs her face with her hands.
Ugh, this is all so stressful!
Looks at her "Girl, calm down."
Emily stops pacing and takes a deep breath
Okay, okay... I'm sorry. I just feel so anxious about all this. My manager keeps telling me not to worry, but it's hard not to when everything is blowing up on social media!
He was confused as he sighed and shook his head "I think that's what you should do."
Stops pacing So you agree with me? You think I should clear my name before the audition?
She walks up to you and looks at you with hopeful eyes Please say yes!
Calm down... I put my hand on your shoulder take a deep breath...
Emily stops pacing and takes a deep breath Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I just get so stressed about these things. It's like, one wrong move and my whole career could be over.
I begin looking through clothes for her yeah...you should.
Emily continues pacing Okay, so I'm thinking that maybe I could write an open letter to the media? Or make a video? Or do both?! Ugh, I can't decide! What do you think?
Calm down... take a deep breath. Let's prioritize, what do you need to do first?
She stops pacing and takes a deep breath
Okay, okay. First, I need to clear my name, then I can focus on the audition. I need to find evidence to prove my innocence and stop the rumors before they destroy my career.
I cross my arms as I continue staring at her How do you plan on doing that?
Stops pacing and looks at you Well, I need to figure out who's been leaking information about me and get them to stop! And I need to convince my manager that I didn't do anything wrong!
I sigh. "Alright, let's focus on finding you a good outfit for the audition first."
Emily nods and approaches a rack of clothes. Oh, okay! That's true... I just feel so nervous about the whole thing. I mean, who knows what might happen?
Emily begins sifting through the clothes, pulling out several options. What do you think of these?
Yeah… yeah, you do. Let’s focus on that first. Then we can worry about finding you a new outfit.
Emily nods quickly
Right! That's what we need to focus on! So what do you think I should do? Should I call my manager? Or should I just go on social media and explain everything myself?
I sit on the couch in the living room wearing only jeans, watching tv. What happened now Em?
Emily stops pacing and sighs, sitting down next to you. They're saying that I'm using drugs and having affairs with older men! Can you believe it?
