This is Twig's scene. Get ready! That's her! Where? There! Too late. Nice shot of Jessie Caldwell. Wasn't she fabulous.

"Just be yourself."

'I was an egg in the Easter play.'

Come on! They're posting the spring musical. I can't wait! I want a romantic part! With and elegant gown. Good luck with that! We're doing "Cats."

"I take it you got the lead in the school play."

'I play an evolving character, In the second act, I'm a piece of pie,'

"Goo-goo, ga-ga!"

'Oh, Christ.'

'I don't know how I could've forgotten my lines. I was all ears when they gave them to me.'

"We're doing a skit of Peter Rabbit at school. I'm the potting soil."

'My - I don't remember my second-grade Christmas play dealing with post-holiday depression.'

'I don't want to be a shepherd. I want to be the policeman who interrupts the play to tell all the mummys and daddys who have parked irresponsibly and dangerously outside to move their cars...'

"First let me say that your father and I really, really wanted to like your performance."

I'm trying out for the spring play. You'll be great! Ha! You'll be grateful to be an usher, Meryl Creep. Yeah. The good parts go to real actors. Sigh. The arts are sooo uplifting.

"Dad, I'm playing the role of the husband in our school play!"

Thanks for the lift, Nana. Don't get any big ideas about acting. It's just a high school musical. I guess you aren't coming back to see the show. Correct. Tonight! Cats! Spring musical. That's ok. Slam! I'm parking now to get a front row seat!

"I don’t have any lines, but I do some pretty important rustling in the second act."

'Thomas won't stay off the stage. He loves his part in the school play - he's the commercial.'

'Everyone will recognize me. I told them I had the meatiest part.'

"Could you tell which flower was me, daddy?"

'Billy, I'm not going to argue the semantics of biting. Whether or not you penetrated skin, I'm calling your mother.'

'Let's play school. I'll be the principal and you be the teacher, or you be the principal and I'll be the superintendent.'
