Talk Show Host: Here with me tonight is Sandra Haas, the star of Snow, by Disney. How was the community backstage?
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe9S1l4dLG
Sandra: Well, thank you. It was wonderful. Everyone was so kind, it was almost the best group I’ve been with.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YqkhFs9bC
Talk Show Host: So, we understand your family always supports you with all the traveling and they helped you get on your feet when you started acting. Do you think your career would be different without them?
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sks9ImNvs
Sandra: I think my career as an actor would be… bigger, I would have made it farther than I have now.

Talk Show Host: Here to talk to us about it is Mrs. Haas.
(When Mom is announced, Mom sits in the empty chair. Sandra goes from laughing and happy, to walled off, emotionless. The interview goes into slow-motion, till Talk Show Host and Mom stand up. Sandra follows them off stage in a haze.)

Mom(in a sad voice): Hi honey.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivcqsgcgPh
Sandra: Get out.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhShbN1CzT
Mom: We don’t have any money, honey. Please it's your family.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZmkVSA5UG
Sandra: If you had been there for me, when I started to act, or when I decided it was the career path I wanted to take, then I would give you all the money you’d like. But I had to go my whole career, my whole life, knowing you were never going to be there for me. Now, you come to ruin a perfectly fine interview just for money? No. I told you I want you out of my life. So don't come back. Why don't you ask your lawyer son for money? Isn't he your pride and joy?
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20RdgDH21N
Mom(avoiding eye contact): We need money for his funeral.

Althea: Hey, it's not your fault. You didn’t know. And there was nothing that could be done.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6idrjOwMSB
Andy: Do you want a finger sandwich? They're so good, they might just cheer you up.
(Sandra just stares at her feet. Mom enters, finds Sandra, and starts heading towards her, but Andy and Althea give her a death stare and she walks away.)
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwgsjuNP7J
Andy: What can we do?
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5RI62SVFG
Sandra: I just need… time. (She stands up and walks off stage. Andy and Althea share a look.)

(Final scene change. Sandra is on the rooftop. She stands on one foot, letting the other dangle off the roof, then switches feet. Brother, all in white, enters and is watching Sandra.)
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLwVNTkGts
Brother: Sandra! Why? What are you doing?
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCv7Rpcdlc
Sandra: You're dead. Your dead… your dead. You are just part of my imagination. Proof I'm insane. I’m just going to hurt someone, and it might as well be myself. I couldn’t bear my heart and head if it was someone I was close to. I hurt, didn’t
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx6BfUwwA3
Brother: Sadie. No, and it’s me, trust me, it's not your time. Some people care about you. Please.
