The Last Five Years2014

[Cathy's at an audition]

Cathy Hiatt:
[singing] When you come home... [in her head, to the tune of the song] I should've told them I was sick last week, they're gonna think this is the way I sing. Why is this pianist playing so loud? Should I sing louder. [singing louder] I'll sing louder. [quieter] Maybe I should stop and start over. I'm gonna stop and start over. Why is the director staring at his crotch? Why is that man staring at my r?sum?? Don't stare at my r?sum?. I made up half of my r?sum?. Look at me, stop looking at that, look at me. No, not at my shoes. I hate these stupid shoes. Why did I pick these shoes? Why did I pick this song? Why did I pick this career? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy does this pianist hate me? If I don't get the callback, I can go to Crate and Barrel with Mom to buy a couch. Not that I want to spend the day with Mom, but Jamie needs his space to write, since I'm obviously such a horrible, annoying distraction to him. What's it gonna be like when we have kids? [out loud] And once again... [back in her head] Why am I working so hard? These are the people who cast Russell Crowe in a musical. Jesus Christ, I suck, I suck, I suck, I suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck... [out loud] When finally you come home to... [the director stops her] [speaking] Thank you. Thank you very much.
