You're not my age. Nobody's my age.
I'm ahead of my time.
Maybe I don't think
people will like my stuff.
How do you know what people will like?
How do they know if they don't hear it?
Bruno, how do they recognize your talent
and give you scholarships...
...and record contracts, son,
and awards?
Maybe I die undiscovered,
and my ghost gets the Grammy.
Maybe! Look, did I build you a studio
in the basement for a ghost?
Did I spent $7000 on equipment
for a ghost?
Does your mama cook and clean and
wear old clothes for a ghost? A ghost?
Elton John's mom has got
six mink coats.

Talk about Shorofsky.
Mr. Shorofsky does not understand any
music past Mozart when he was 2.
They're all the same.
What do you expect?
Graduating from P.A. is no Academy
Award. You know what I mean.
It is better than real school. It's free,
and you don't get raped in the hallways.
But it's still small change.
I'm just killing time here,
waiting for my opportunity.
It might be a movie
or a Broadway musical.
But it's coming. I keep my eyes open.
I read Back Stage, Show Business
and Variety.
You see, I do the whole thing.
Dancing's just the tip
of this iceberg.
A friend of my sister,
she tells fortunes and stuff.
She says I'm doing my last dance
on this dark little planet.
So it's gotta be spectacular, you know?
How bright our spirits
go shooting out into space...
...depends on how much we contributed
to the earthly brilliance of this world.
And I mean to be a major contributor.
A sure-as-shit major contributor.
- Can someone just...?
- She's cleaning her cleavage.
She's taking out the lint. Oh,
that's beautiful. I wish I had a camera.
There she is. Get out of the way.
She's gorgeous.
Oh, now turn around, please.
Oh, please.
Oh, look at those tits.
Oh, you could drown in those.
I want you to observe yourself
doing ordinary, everyday things.
You'll be asked to duplicate
those here in class.
An actor must develop
an acute sense memory...
...so concentrate on how you deal
with things in your world...
...how you wash your face
or hold your fork or lift your cup...
..b your hair. Observe and study
your own mechanicalness.
See if you can catch yourself in the
very act of doing or saying something.
See if your actions and reactions fall into
patterns and what those patterns are.
And in particular, pay close attention
to the physical world.
Isolate and concentrate on the details.
Oh, mamacita!
Ay, caramba!
No! No! No! Give me that!
You must hold your bow like this,
not like that.
It's not your dick you're holding.
Excuse me, miss. It's a violin bow.
Hold it with a little respect, like...
Like your dick?
Shut up. Again.
Watch your pliй, Coco.
Turn out the arch, Leroy.
Nice, Neisha.
I want to see the leg, Patrick.
And stretch.
Good.
Keep it together now.
Where's the sweat, Lisa?
You're not even trying.
- Michael, congratulations. I heard.
- Oh, thank you.
Don't thank me. You deserved
the award and the scholarship.
You are the best actor in the school.
Well, you were the best actor
in the school.
I mean, we'll miss you.
Well, I'll miss you too.
- You will?
- Yeah, sure.
- We'll keep in touch, I guess, huh?
- Yeah.
Would you sign my yearbook?
Yeah, all right. Do you
want me to sign my picture?
- That'd be great.
- Oh, okay.
- I forgot. What's your name?
- Doris Finsecker.
- Oh, right. Doris.
- But Doris is enough.
Oh, okay.
- Have you decided where you're going?
- California.
- I mean to college, the scholarship.
- I can't use it.
- How come?
- William Morris has got big plans for me.
- They saw me in that Senior Day show.
- You're kidding?
- They wanna represent me.
- They're the biggest agents.
- Yeah.
- Well, that's great!
There's a couple of series
they think I'm right for.
I've
