00:00What thriftless sighs shall poor Olivia breathe, O time, thou shalt untangle this, not I, for this is too much for me to untie.
00:22Thank you, Brielle. Uh, you must be the new student. Come on in. Maya, is it? Everyone, hello, Maya. Your last school sent glowing recommendations. I understand that you are a very talented actress. Perhaps you'd like to perform something for us. Uh, something short?
00:50Yeah. Let's see how good you really are. Or are you too scared?
00:55Maya, what do you say?
00:58Sure. I'll try.
01:01Good, good, good.
01:03Had I been any god of power, I would have sunk the sea into the earth.
01:18Where'er it should the good ship so have swallowed, and the frotting souls within her.
01:31Oh, you make a wonderful Miranda.
01:35Wonderful Miranda.
01:37Bravo.
01:38Come.
01:45Wow. You're amazing up there.
01:48Thanks. You are?
01:50Scott, I'm playing the lead.
01:52Listen up, new girl. You better back off in drama class, because that lead role is mine.
02:06What? I don't want the lead role.
02:09I'm warning you. If you try to take what's mine, you're in for a rude awakening.
02:13Maya!
02:16It's so hot out. Why don't you change out of your sweater?
02:28I don't want to.
02:30Sweetheart, you have nothing to be ashamed of.
02:34Besides, it's just us.
02:36Just leave it alone, Mom.
02:39Maya, I just wish that you would-
02:41I'm not hungry.
02:43Maya!
02:44Maya!
03:08That's not fair.
03:09You're gonna pay for this.
03:11Maya, my star!
03:12Oh, you are going to be my lead, Nora, in Ibsen's Doll's House.
03:16What? I don't want the lead. I didn't even audition.
03:18No, no, no. You were just so excellent yesterday. You were just too good not to be.
03:23Now, don't worry about Brielle. She is dramatic. And she will get over it eventually.
03:29Woo!
03:30Congrats on the roll.
03:31I'm really excited to play your husband, Thorvald. I'm sorry in advance. He's such a jerk.
03:32Thanks.
03:33But, you know, I don't want the lead. I don't want the lead. I didn't even audition.
03:34No, no, no. You were just so excellent yesterday. You were just too good not to be.
03:39Don't worry about Brielle. She is dramatic. And she will get over it eventually.
03:45Congrats on the roll. I'm really excited to play your husband, Thorvald. I'm sorry in advance. He's such a jerk.
03:58But, I don't know if I should. You saw how Brielle was. I don't want to start problems.
04:05Don't worry about her. She barely put any effort into the roll. And your performance the other day was so good.
04:12You gotta do it. For me.
04:16Okay. I'll do it.
04:19Yes! Maybe we should rehearse after school sometime.
04:25Yes! I beg you with all my heart, Thorvald.
04:30You really have the nerve to bring this up again.
04:33Yes! You must...
04:36Do as I ask.
04:38Hey!
04:39Eyes like the ocean.
04:45I'm drowning in sun.
04:48I never know the way.
04:53How you hate the times.
04:54Saying let's go, let's go.
04:57Don't you wanna know?
04:58Let's go, let's go.
05:00Let's go, don't you want to know, let's go, let's go, I don't mind.
05:14This is your costume. Try it on and let me see if it fits all right.
05:20Mr. Otto, this is way too revealing for me. I thought it was the 19th century.
05:25Oh, no, we're taking a modern take on the costume and the set design.
05:32Is there a problem?
05:34I don't want so much of my arms and chest out. And no legs, please. In any scene.
05:40Oh.
05:41I'm just not comfortable.
05:47Of course. Um, well, let me see what I can do. Okay?
05:55What's your big secret, freak?
06:07What's your big secret, freak?
06:25Oh, no way.
06:36Oh.
06:37Gotcha.
06:52You won't be the lead for long, Maya.
07:07So that's what you've been hiding under there?
07:12You did this.
07:14What? No, of course not.
07:16But I'm glad someone did.
07:19Everyone should know that the star of our show is a freak.
07:24Wait, don't listen to her.
07:26You are nothing to be embarrassed of.
07:37Sweetie, it's going to be okay.
07:41It will never be okay.
07:44I want to try another school.
07:45I can't go back there.
07:48Maya, we can't keep moving.
07:53How about I talk to your principal?
07:55No, don't.
07:57You don't understand what it's like.
07:59I was humiliated in front of everyone.
08:03I hate myself.
08:05Honey, you are beautiful.
08:10Just as you are.
08:12I am so tired of hearing that.
08:15No, I'm not.
08:17Please, just leave me alone.
08:19I am so tired of hearing that.
08:33Looks like I'll be your Nora again.
08:36Poor Maya.
08:38Hope she comes back.
08:40I doubt it.
08:44Didn't you see all those hilarious posters I put over here everywhere?
08:48She'll never show her face in school again.
08:51Looks like you and I will be the stars.
08:53You did all that?
08:56Why?
08:57Why does it matter?
08:59Brielle, you really hurt her.
09:02Didn't you see the look on her face?
09:04Yeah.
09:05It was so funny.
09:07I can't believe you.
09:13Hello?
09:14Aren't we supposed to rehearse?
09:24I told you to leave me alone.
09:27It's Scott.
09:29Can I please come in?
09:30What are you doing here?
09:32Can you please let me in?
09:34I found out he did that to you.
09:44Who?
09:46Brielle.
09:47I knew it.
09:48I should have never taken that stupid lead role.
09:51This is not your fault.
09:53What Brielle did to you was messed up, but you have nothing to be ashamed of.
09:57Yes, I do.
09:58My stretch marks are horrible.
09:59When I was a kid, all the kids in my class would call me fat and throw food at me like
10:09I was some kind of zoo animal.
10:13That's awful.
10:14Then, when I got to middle school, I decided to lose the weight.
10:20But when I did, I was left with stretch marks everywhere.
10:26Then they made fun of me for the marks on my skin.
10:29There was no winning.
10:31What am I supposed to do?
10:32You don't have to do anything other than be yourself.
10:35There's nothing wrong with having stretch marks.
10:40It's part of who you are in your story.
10:44You're beautiful just the way you are.
10:46No, I'm not.
10:48How could someone like me be beautiful?
10:50Because you're you.
10:55You're smart, kind, talented.
11:03How could that not make you beautiful?
11:06You really think that?
11:09I do.
11:11You shouldn't be ashamed of your story.
11:14You should use that pain to fuel your performance.
11:18Your stretch marks make you unique.
11:20And I think unique is the coolest thing you can be.
11:25Thanks.
11:31I'm still not going to do the play, though.
11:33But you have to.
11:36I mean, I just know with us together,
11:41we're going to give an amazing performance.
11:45It wouldn't be the same with being on stage with Brielle.
11:50I'll think about it.
11:55Where is my Nora?
11:59Where is Maya?
12:01She's late.
12:01And we need a lead.
12:04I can do it, Mr. Otto.
12:06I know all the lines.
12:10Yeah.
12:11Well, I guess we have no choice.
12:17Sir, I'm sure Maya is running late.
12:19She'll be here.
12:20Yeah, let us hope so.
12:22Because we're running out of time.
12:23Okay, Bella.
12:38You can do this.
12:40You are going to be incredible tonight.
12:42I can still see all those posters of my stretch marks plastered all over the school.
12:52They are going to fall in love with you.
12:56Remember, your stretch marks are what makes you unique.
13:00Funny.
13:08Someone else said the same thing to me.
13:10Hmm.
13:12He must really care about you.
13:21Ten minutes of show time.
13:24Still no Maya?
13:25Oh, well.
13:26I'm ready, Mr. Otto.
13:27Can't we push the show back a few minutes?
13:30I'm sorry, Scott.
13:31The show must go on.
13:33Riel will be our Maya!
13:35Oh, thank the Lord.
13:38Get out of here!
13:40Nobody will see you on stage!
13:42Quickly, into costume.
13:44Oh!
13:44No alterations.
13:46I'm so glad you made it.
13:47Me too.
13:48Quickly, let's go, let's go, let's go!
13:50It's almost show time!
13:51The Christmas tree!
14:01Hide them always safely, Helene.
14:03Don't let the children see them until this evening.
14:08She's helping me mend my costume.
14:10Don't worry, I'll look beautiful for you.
14:14Yes.
14:15That was a rather clever idea of mine.
14:17Wonderful.
14:18But aren't I good to give in to you?
14:20He'll be back tomorrow night.
14:28I left him a note.
14:29You shouldn't have.
14:30Let it all happen.
14:32It's thrilling, isn't it?
14:34Waiting for something glorious to happen.
14:42Remember, that monologue in Act 3 is very important.
14:47You are finally standing up for yourself, declaring yourself independent from the person who's been belittling you for so long.
14:56Don't worry.
15:03You're going to be great.
15:07Just be yourself.
15:09I'm going to be myself.
15:19I was your little singing bird.
15:22Your doll that you would carry.
15:24Now it's twice the care.
15:25Since I was so weak and fragile.
15:27Torvald, at that moment I realized for the last eight years I had been married to a total stranger.
15:47And I had borne him three children.
15:50I can't bear to think of it.
15:52It tears me to pieces.
15:53My god.
16:04That was amazing.
16:06I am so proud of you.
16:11You are incredible, Maya.
16:14So were you Torvald?
16:16I'd wipe that smile right off your face.
16:19Don't you forget, you'll always be ugly.
16:22Hey, I got it, Mom.
16:24You know what, Brielle?
16:26The only person being ugly here is you.
16:30Because it's what's on the inside that counts.
16:33Yeah, right.
16:36Brielle is right here.
16:39The school security footage caught you spreading sensitive images
16:42all over school of a fellow student changing.
16:46And that, Brielle, that is grounds for expulsion.
16:50No.
16:51No, you can't do this.
16:54I'm supposed to be the star.
17:00Hey, I was wondering if maybe you'd like to go out sometime,
17:07like on a date.
17:11I'd love to.
17:12Hey, Dhar Man fam, here's a little inspo for the day.
17:25Love yourself first and everything else will fall into place.
