Erica Sayers • The Queen
- Erica: Shh, it's okay. I'm here. You were scratching all night.
- Nina: Where's my clock?
- Erica: Don't worry about that.
- Nina: What time is it?
- Erica: Shh.
- Nina: My show is tonight.
- Erica: No, no, no.
- [pushes Nina back on the pillow]
- Erica: No, don't worry. I called the theater and I told them you weren't feeling well.
- Nina: [jumps out of bed] I have to go!
- Erica: No, no lie down!
- Nina: Let go of me!
- [notices the door handle is missing]
- Erica: You're staying in here until you feel better.
- Nina: Where is it?
- Erica: This role's destroying you.
- Erica: Do you have any idea what time it is?
- Nina: [drunk] Uh... late?
- Erica: Where have you been?
- Nina: To the moon!
- Lily: And back.
- Erica: You've been drinking.
- Nina: Ding ding ding ding!
- Erica: What else?
- Nina: Huh?
- Erica: [raises voice] What else have you been doing?
- Nina: Oh, you want to know their names?
- [laughs]
- Erica: You need to sleep this off.
- Nina: No, there were two. There was Tom, there was Jerry.
- [laughing]
- Erica: [interrupts] Be quiet, Nina!
- Nina: And I fucked them both!
- Erica: [yells] Shut your mouth!
- Nina: What are you doing here?
- Lily: I just came by to apologize. You're right, I should have never spoken to him about you.
- Erica: [interrupts] Sweetheart.
- Nina: Give me a second.
- Erica: Your dinner.
- Nina: Mom! Please?
- Lily: Oh, she's a trip.
- [chuckles]
- Nina: How do you know where I live?
- Lily: I have my ways.
- [notices Nina's nervousness]
- Lily: Jesus, relax! I got it from Susie in the office. Look, I just feel really shitty about what I did and I just really want to make it up to you, so how about I take you out to dinner?
- Nina: I don't think...
- Lily: [interrupts] Ok, that's fine! What about drinks?
- Erica: Sweetie, you need to rest.
- Lily: [chuckles] Jesus!
- Nina: Wait.
- [goes into the apartment to grab shoes and a coat]
- Erica: What are you doing?
- Nina: Going out!
- Erica: Has he tried anything with you? He has a reputation. I have a right to be concerned, Nina. You've been staying late so many nights rehearsing. I hope he isn't taking advantage.
- Nina: He's not.
- Erica: Good. I just don't want you to make the same mistake I did.
- Nina: Thanks.
- Erica: Not like that. I just mean as far as my career was concerned.
- Nina: What career?
- Erica: The one I gave up to have you.
- Nina: You were 28 and only in.
- [stops]
- Erica: Only what?
- Nina: Nothing.
- Erica: What!
- Nina: Nothing.
- Erica: You're working yourself too hard. We all have off days.
- Nina: If that girl hadn't barged in.
- Erica: I'm sure she didn't mean to. Remember when you first started? If I hadn't taken you to each of your classes you would have been completely lost.
- Nina: I'm going to talk to him tomorrow and tell him I finished it.
- Erica: You don't need to lie. You won't convince him one way or the other.
- [pauses]
- Erica: Sweetheart, I know it's disappointing. You start getting older there's all this ridiculous pressure. God knows I understand. But it's alright.
- Erica: My daughter the swan queen. It's our favorite vanilla with strawberry filling
- Nina: Oh mom not too big, oh that's way way too much
- Erica: Oh it's our celebration, it's just this once
- Nina: Mom, my stomach is still in knots
- Erica: Fine, fine. Then it's garbage
- Nina: No mom, don't I'm sorry
- Erica: I'm just, I'm just so proud of you
- Nina: That looks soo yummy
- Erica: Sounds like quite an evening. Wish I could have been there.
- Nina: You know I asked.
- Erica: I know you did, Susie told me. I guess he wanted you all to himself.
- Nina: That's not why.
- Erica: I don't blame him.
- [looks at Nina's earrings]
- Erica: Where did you get these?
- Nina: They're fake.
- Erica: Fooled me.
- Nina: [reacts to Erica undressing her] I can do it!
- Erica: He must have been by your side all night showing you off.
