00:14Okay, you want to tell us about this short film you just made?
00:19Uh, short film?
00:21Your agent has it down here, says you're the only guy in it.
00:24A moving study of a man consumed by pain and depression.
00:31Uh, no, that's a headache ad.
00:34Uh, my agent tends to be a bit of, uh...
00:36Of an asshole.
00:40Okay, you've done nothing decent.
00:43Let's do the test.
00:48Uh, what about Miss Bassenger?
00:52We're testing you, not her, Mr, uh, Nielsen.
00:57She has casting approval.
01:00Oh, right, uh, so, uh, who's doing the scene with me, then?
01:03I am.
01:06The only way to test an actor is to act with him.
01:08That way you can tell what their body language is saying.
01:11Help, I should think.
01:16Roll tape.
01:18So, you're dancing.
01:27Trying to dance.
01:30And the girl comes up to you and says,
01:33Oh, hi there, big fella.
01:38Hi.
01:39You sure is one hell of a sexy guy.
01:44Ooh, I just want to wrap my arms around you and kiss you
01:47until your mouth aches, your lips crack,
01:52and your tongue dries off.
01:54You want to dance?
01:56Oh, good God, no.
01:59Stop.
02:00You'll stop the tape.
02:03You don't say anything, Robert.
02:04You're just not.
02:05Oh, yeah, yeah, sorry.
02:06Sorry.
02:08Oh, do you want to try that bit again?
02:09We ain't got time to screw around.
02:12What about going on to the, uh, scene in the girl's apartment?
02:19Now, we're standing.
02:22Real close.
02:26That's it.
02:27And you say...
02:33Nice place you've got here.
02:34Who cares about the place?
02:37Can't you see that I want you?
02:39I want you so much.
02:41I want a big boy like you.
02:44Oh, kiss me!
02:58I think these are yours!
