• we left and said we'll call you
• called Shirley... "What's going on?"

• ps... she told whitney she could be a petite runway model... no such thing as petite runway!

3rd Audition : Nathan gets to audition for a new musical called "Scandalous Behavior"

it's a no pay gig - but it gives us exposure and good experience and maybe contacts

• makes small talk
• director wants whitney to audition with nathan
• they both get to sing 32 bars of whatever song they choose while an amazing pianist plays
• inside they scream for joy because it feels sooo good to sing again
• director gives a love scene to the married couple
• nathan and whitney try to speak in british accents and have no clue what they're saying
• in the scene the characters 'kiss passionately' 
• so they.... 'kiss passionately'
• director likes nathan's take on the character
• director doesn't like whitney's take on her character
• director gives whitney another scene and tells her that he wants her to be like Cruella Devil...
• whitney does the best she can
• director says that whitney is too nice
