Fabulous Five 010 - Playing the Part
“Beth flashed him a grateful look for the cue. "Ronnie, your parents are here. You've got to stay hidden or they'll find you," she spoke the lines.
"Okay, cut," called Mr. Levine. "Beth, you need to sound more excited. Remember, you're afraid. If Ronnie's parents catch him in the closet, you know you'll never get to date him again. Put yourself in Julie's place. What if you were about to lose the boy you love? You'd be upset wouldn't you?" "Yes, Mr. Levine." It was the fifth time he had stopped the rehearsal to give her instructions, and she had forgotten her lines three times. Chet had helped her get started again. He was awfully nice for a ninth-grader.
She knew her lines. She was sure she did. She had studied them over and over until she could say them in her sleep. The trouble was, when someone else was speaking their lines, Beth would start thinking about Keith.
Then she wouldn't know where they were at in the script when it was her turn to speak again. It was embarrassing.
"Look,... everyone," continued Mr.MoreLess
