• Derek Wills : [meeting in bar]  So, I wanted to talk to you about what happened.

  Karen Cartwright : I know what happened. I didn't get the part.

  Derek Wills : No, the script and the songs aren't even finished yet, there's a lot of changes coming in first, we just needed someone... with more experience with that.

  Karen Cartwright : Oh, she's... lucky, it's a great part... and it's gonna be a great thing.

  Derek Wills : Mm-hmm.

  [about to take sip] 

  Derek Wills : So how do you feel about being in the ensemble?

  Karen Cartwright : But... It's a terrific opportunity.

  Derek Wills : Oh, well done. Very polite.

  Karen Cartwright : Well, what am I supposed to say? I'm pissed?

  Derek Wills : Yeah, you should be. You got way too much talent to be in the ensemble.

  [takes that sip] 

  Karen Cartwright : Then why did you put me there?

  Derek Wills : Listen... Life is long, theater is longer. It could take five years for 'Marilyn' to get to the stage, and a lot can happen in five years.
