Hunter is in make-up when Courtney comes
in to introduce herself
[Hunter flicks through a
magazine] Oh great. Catherine Zeta Jones...
again.
Don't you just love her?
Excuse me. Hunter.
[Hunter tries to ignore Courtney] Hunter?
No
offence, but I have a policy about not talking to the
extras.
Oh I'm not an extra. I'm Courtney Scott.
I'm
playing your cousin Laura who just moved to Grosse
Pointe.
Oh right! The weird cousin from West
Virginia!
Yeah, anyway, it is such a thrill to meet you. Oh
God, I can't believe I'm really here!
Don't be nervous.
Once you get past the freaks on the crew staring at you it's a
breeze.
Ira, you're twisting my hair. That really hurts,
OK?
So Courtney, what have you done?
Oh, a bunch of
stuff. But most recently I played Nora in "A Dolls
House"
at the University of Arizona.
Oh I can't believe
I missed that.

[Marcy opens the trailer door and walks
inside]
Hi! I'm Marcy!
Hi Marcy. Courtney
Scott.
Do you even have an apartment yet?
Oh, no I'm
staying at a hotel with my Mom.
I guess I'm going to have
to start looking for a place.
Oooh! I'll go apartment
hunting with you if you want?
[Hunter rolls her eyes at
Marcy's offer] Oh, that would be great.
OK!

Kevin tries to introduce a "Make-a-Dream" kid to the cast
in make-up
Guys, there's a "Make-a-Dream" kid on the set. He'd love to
come in and say hello.
What's a "Make-a-Dream" kid?
Oh,
they're these sick children who visit the set every so
often
and meeting us is like their dream come
true.
What's wrong with
him?
Leukemia.
[Together]
Ohhh.
[Together] Ohhh. [Hunter remains
silent]
His name's Adam.
Now is not a good
time!
Okay.
[Kevin shuts the trailer door as Adam peers
inside, hoping to catch a glimpse of the
cast]

Courtney meets Johnny, who plays Brad,
her screen cousin
Excuse me. Johnny. Hi, I'm Courtney
Scott.
I'm playing Laura Johnson, your cousin who moves
from West Virginia.
You're my cousin?
Yeah, you know my
parents were killed in that land slide, and our fathers
haven't spoken in years but your folks were left as my
guardians in the will?
Man, I'll have to start reading the
script.
You mean you haven't read the script for
this week's episode?
Nah, I never look at it until I get on
the set.
Oh? When do you prepare?
What do you mean?
I
mean, when do you define your character objectives and do
your sense memory work?
Um... never.
What about our
character histories? How often did we see each other as
children? Were you the one who taught me how to ride a bike?
And did we ever "play doctor"?
I don't know. I never
thought of all that.
Well, don't you think you ought to?
[She laughs nervously] I mean, I've been
preparing for weeks and how am I supposed to do my
best work when you don't even know who I am?
Courtney! We
need you in wardrobe right now please.
[Courtney walks
off to wardrobe with Kevin]
[To Dave, Johnny's
stand-in] Damn! The new girl's
hot!
