Jeff tries to cheer Ginger up after the screen test (from "Szabo's Travels") (Ginger is sitting at the bar looking very glum; Jeff sits down next to her) Jeff: Bartender, she's buying this time. Ginger: Not funny. Jeff (smiles at her): Two beers. Wait--one beer, and what would you like? Ginger: A new life. Jeff: Two beers. Ginger: I'm too short. I lost the part because I'm too short. Jeff (leans in towards her): The director said we were the best--that's something! Ginger: No, I was out of the running before I even opened my mouth. Eddie (comes up behind Ginger): For whatever it's worth, you reminded me of Carole Lombard. Ginger (excited): Really? Lou: Not that I was ever a Lombard fan... (Ginger looks at Jeff and shakes her head) Jeff: Let's paint the town red tonight. Ginger: No thanks.

Jeff: I think you should do it just to do it. (pauses) I feel ten feet tall when I play well- Ginger: Oh don't mention height to me... I don't believe you don't care about the crowd. I mean, you want people to stand up and cheer for you... Jeff: I like cheering. Who wouldn't? But that's not why I play ball... I'd play in an empty stadium as long as there were nine men on their team and nine on ours... And if you want to be an actress just to have strangers can fall in love with you, then I don't get it. Because they wouldn't know the real you, and I know the real you, and I already love you, whether you're a movie star or not... (Ginger can't help but smile--he's just too sweet to resist!) Jeff (smiling slyly): Although I would like to know what you wear to bed at night... Home| Kyle| Tammy| History| Transcripts|Quotes|Milestones|Episodes| Pictures| Fanfic| Links| Email List
