Amy , a young waitress, still dressed in her work uniform, rifles through her purse to find some change for the bus when her phone rings. It's her agent on the other end of the line, calling to inform the struggling actress that she received an invitation to audition for a new mainstream project. The day of the audition, Amy looks a little confused. "Do we have a script?" she asks. The director smiles, with Tony, the male lead, chiming in. "Stevie likes to freestyle his auditions," he adds. "Starting off with how you look!" Amy slowly turns around, trying to keep her composure. She feels awkward.
