Quotes

Esmeralda: Where does it say the character took Xanax?

Esmeralda: (To another mom while waiting for her son's audition) I worry about him having a career, because you see what happens to these child actors? They start heroin really early. Sometimes they vomit on you, then they prostitute themselves. And then one day, they just stab you in the bed, and that's it. Lot of blood.

Esmeralda: (Acting out her self-rewritten script in the audition) Hey sweetheart! How was soccer today? Oh, there is a lightning storm! Oh my god, I just switched bodies with my mom. She has my body now, and I am the beautiful woman! Wow, oh, this is how it feels to have clean underwear? I'm going to spend her money to buy the wipes I need to clean myself!
