BENNY
Huh? Sweetie pie. Who strolled in here with more talent in her little pinkie than most kids have in
their whole body?

ALYSON
Kelly Rabin.

BENNY
Who‘s my number one?

ALYSON
Kelly Rabin.

BENNY
Would ya stop with- ? Who‘s one of the best kids in the business?

ALYSON
I'm not in the business- that's the problem. Listen. Far as Kelly goes, I‘ll make you a deal. Sign me
with Maddie, I won‘t pop pills, won‘t smoke pot, won‘t get fired, and won‘t act like a spoiled brat. K?

BENNY
Hm. Three out of four.

ALYSON
Benny, I'm a B student at best, I suck at sports, I'm not pretty...

BENNY
No, no, no.

ALYSON
(Hint of tears) This is all I got.

BENNY
Who tells ya you're not pretty?
