Now that we're all Loosey and/or goosey, The time has come For our newest student To tackle The bird scene.
Tori, the stage is yours, Though you can't take it home.
Can I ask you a few question Before I start? So Just do your best.
Action.
Okay.
It was 1934 When my husband left me.
Alone, living on the prairie Was a dreary existence.
No telephone, no radio.
Only a large, majestic bird With whom I shared my feelings.
One day when I was feeling low, I said to him, "Oh bird, you can fly.
"You can soar miles "From this lonely place, "Yet you stay.
Why?" And apparently, My question rang true, For that afternoon, The bird left.
And so went my spirit.
How was that? What do you mean? Did I do the scene right? No, not at all.
Okay, then what'd I do wrong? You'll have to perform The scene again tomorrow And get it right, Or else you cannot be In Andre's play or any other.
But can you tell me What I did wrong? No, I can't.
I don't get any feedback? That is correct.
But Drive-By acting exercise.
You're all terrified dolphins.
Go.
Live the fear.
Live the fear.
Come on.
How am I supposed to do The scene right If no one will tell me What I did wrong? I thought you guys Were my friends.
I'm not your friend.
I was hoping We could be more than friends.
Uh, it's so gross How he's always hitting On every girl.
I never hit on you.
What's that supposed to mean? You guysmy problem.
Number one rule Of the bird scene: Nobody's allowed to help you.
No one.
So this is what you did With your locker? Yeah.
See, it's a dry erase board With a bunch of colorful pens In a convenient cup.
So whoever wants to, Can write or draw Whatever they want.
But you're supposed To decorate it yourself.
It's a hollywood Arts tradition.
Well, what's wrong With letting other people Be expressive on my locker? Well, for one thing They can do that.
Yeah? Yeah, well my locker's smarter Than your locker.
How can a locker be I don't know.

Somebody tell me How to do the bird scene Or I'm gonna cry.
Can't.
And don't be so whiny.

Very good.
Ladies and gentlemen, Once again: "The bird scene" starring Tori.
Vega.
Vega.
It was 1934 When my husband left me.
Alone, living on the prairie Was a dreary existence.
No telephone, no radio, Only a large, majestic bird With whom I shared my feelings.
You see the bird too, right? Yeah.
Fantastic.
One day, When I was feeling low, I said to him, "Oh bird, you can fly.
You can soar miles From this lonely place, Yet you stay.
Why?" And apparently My question rang true, For that afternoon my bird left, And so went my spirit.
That was impressive.
So did I get it right? Nope.
But I just I'dI did too get it right.
Tori, listen.
I'm not trying To be disrespectful.
But, you know, how hard I worked on this scene? I made this costume.
I downloaded Special prairie music.
I even trained That crazy cockatoo to fly In and out of that window On command.
Not now.
Look, I know You're a great acting teacher And everything, But I don't care what you say.
The scene I just did was good, And I'm proud of it No matter what anybody thinks.
What? You just passed "The bird scene.
" But you said Tori, the whole point Of the bird scene Is to teach a performer, Like yourself, To believe in your own choices No matter what others think.
We are artists, And a true artist Does not define success Based on hu, hee, hee approval From others.
A true artist need Only please himself Or herself or itself.
You don't know what I got.
So, all three times I did the scene were delightful.
It was only wrong When you asked if it was right.
Drive-By acting exercise.
You're all elderly people Walking barefoot On broken glass.
Go.
You guys ready? Whatever.
Make what shine? It's the title of the song I sang in the big showcase.
Okay.
Whatever.
'Cause you know, That's what got me here In the first place.
I don't like it.
Maybe the words Should be bigger.
Yes.
I believe in my own choice, And I don't need approval From others.
Ah, the young female Has learned the ways Of "the bird scene.
" I still think it's dull.
Yeah? Well, then maybe I should make it shine.
Nice! Light-Y.
Okay, are we going to eat Or what? Oh, yay, food.
Come with? Sure.
