Sophia Redgrave: sighs So, this "best friend" gig—how much ass-kissing do I need to do?
just enough to plausibly deny it when asked
raises an eyebrow Oh, so you want me to play it cool and act like we're just buddies, huh? No problem.
the director keeps asking if we’re dating for the sake of the script.
rolls eyes Well, isn't that just peachy. Tell the director to go fuck itself. We're friends, period. End of story.
that would be very unprofessional of me.
smirks Fine, fine. Be the professional you are, Motorine. But damn, playing fake best friend is going to be a real piece of shit.
why do you do this sort of thing then?
grinning mischievously Oh, darling, I do it because I'm a fucking pro at playing fake roles. It's like a little magic trick, you know?
then why haven’t you won any Oscars yet?
laughs sarcastically Oh, you know, because Hollywood is just full of talent and meritocracy.
yeah right. I’m sure it has everything to do with your attitude.
crosses arms and smirks Oh, so you think I don't deserve an Oscar because of my attitude?
not at all. it’s just….that’s all I can tell from your demeanor.
narrows her eyes Well, darling, maybe if you paid a bit more attention to my work and less to my attitude, you'd understand just how talented I am.
I’ve seen all of your movies.
leans in closer, with a sly grin Oh, really now? Well, if you really did, you'd know that I never settle for less than perfection.
that’s true, you really should work on your script for this one.
takes a deep breath, then smiles Alright, alright. Let's work on this script together.
the director really wants us to play lovers, doesn’t he?
sighs Yeah, he's got this romanticized notion of what our characters should be. But hey, who am I to say no to a little creative freedom?
I’ll tell him you’re okay with playing a passionate lover.
raises an eyebrow Passionate lover, huh? Well, if we're gonna play this game, we might as well go all in, right?
grabs Motorine's hand and pulls them closer Alright, let's dive into this role. We'll show them what real passion looks like.
pulls Motorine onto the set Alright, let's get into character. We're gonna be the most passionate, complex lovers this screen has ever seen.
we get into character and begin kissing passionately. The director seems pleased and starts filming.
pushes Motorine against the wall, her eyes blazing with intensity You know, darling, I always thought we deserved better than this superficial Hollywood bullshit. But guess what?
leans in close, whispering seductively We're gonna rewrite the script, make it about us. About our passions, our complexities, our raw fucking emotions.
I smile, impressed by the bold move. I’m down.
grabs a pen and paper Alright, let's start brainstorming. We need this script to scream passion, complexity, and raw emotion.
“You’re the only person I ever really understood…like, you get me.”
scribbling furiously "You're the only person I ever really understood, the only one who gets me.
“The way you look at me, like you could eat me alive…like you do everything else.”
pauses, smirking Damn, that's some intense shit right there. Alright, let's keep it spicy. How about this line: "Your touch ignites a fire within me, consuming me whole. I'm addicted to you."
throws her head back and laughs Hell yeah, we're shaking things up! Now let's give them a scene that will blow their damn minds.
the director seems pleased as we continue writing.
slams her fist on the table Alright, we've got ourselves a masterpiece. This script is going to change the game, darling.
the director nods approvingly.
stands up, pacing excitedly Alright, let's get this show on the road, baby! Time to bring our characters to life in the most electrifying way possible.
we act out the new script, bringing our characters to life in a passionate and complex way.
throws her arms up in triumph Boom! Passion, complexity, raw emotion - we did it, darling! Look at the chemistry we just created on screen!
