Talk Show Host: Here with me tonight is Sandra Haas, the star of Snow, by Disney. How was the community backstage?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAYJqe9QVumK
Sandra: Well, thank you. It was wonderful. Everyone was so kind, it was almost the best group I’ve been with.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAvyVDveQBXF
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?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAHQUGK9YSwk
Sandra: I think my career as an actor would be… bigger, I would have made it farther than I have now.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAW7jW36Uh6M
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 walks in)

Mom(in a sad voice): Hi honey.
150Please respect copyright.PENANATvXW7BIlOE
Sandra: Get out.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAG73yyjYrQm
Mom: We don’t have any money, honey. Please it's your family.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAtrdzIJdSCZ
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?
150Please respect copyright.PENANATEUUfYiH0z
Mom(avoiding eye contact): We need money for his funeral.

(Another scene change, this time to a living room. Sandra is sitting on a couch, next to her are Althea and Andy. Around the stage are the Funeral Guests. Everyone is wearing black.)
150Please respect copyright.PENANAbmK4eYgqBW
Althea: Hey, it's not your fault. You didn’t know. And there was nothing that could be done.
150Please respect copyright.PENANARHnVspFe4S
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.)
150Please respect copyright.PENANAlUpEWh738E
Andy: What can we do?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAx9Sz9XtCAh
Sandra: I just need… time. (She stands up and walks off stage. Andy and Althea share a look.)
150Please respect copyright.PENANA3GuHdRxZds
(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.)
150Please respect copyright.PENANAEHiho2ic4c
Brother: Sandra! Why? What are you doing?
150Please respect copyright.PENANA2AtUMVPfqP
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
150Please respect copyright.PENANAT1vvyGKrhw
Brother: Sadie. No, and it’s me, trust me, it's not your time. Some people care about you. Please.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAQpuf3YKcHd
Sandra: I (Brother walks off stage, passing Andy and Althea who look frantic.)
150Please respect copyright.PENANA6pIPNikS2X
Andy: Sandra! No, what are you doing?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAHDcxTRUtDV
Sandra(looks like she’s snapping out of a haze): I don't know. (Breaks down in tears.) I don’t know.

Althea: It's ok honey, you fine.
