• [Tammé walks into Sam's office, as Sam is nursing a bruised cheek from being slapped by Goliath Jackson] 

  Sam Sylvia : Don't judge.

  Tammé Dawson : I'm not. I brought you more ice.

  [Tammé hands him a can of soda] 

  Sam Sylvia : That guy had a hundred pounds on me. He fights for a living. Wasn't fair.

  [Sam places can on his cheek] 

  Sam Sylvia : Why'd you bring me more ice? What do you want?

  Tammé Dawson : I have some concerns about my character.

  Sam Sylvia : [sits up]  Welfare Queen.

  Tammé Dawson : [sits down]  It's offensive.

  Sam Sylvia : That's the genius of it. It's commentary on an existing stereotype. It's sort of a 'fuck you' to the Republican party, and their welfare program, and their race-baiting shit.

  Tammé Dawson : Yeah, but would other people know that?

  Sam Sylvia : Like who?

  Tammé Dawson : My son. He goes to Stanford.

  Sam Sylvia : Fancy.

  Tammé Dawson : And I don't want him turning on the TV and... getting upset. It's not that I do not want this job. I do.

  Sam Sylvia : What? You've never had a role you've been uncomfortable in before?

  Tammé Dawson : Sam, I've never had any role before. I mean, I've only done background work. Some lines on Scarecrow and Mrs. King and Gimme a Break.

  Sam Sylvia : Well, that's the problem. That's middle-of-the-road shit. It's safe. You see, me? I like to push the envelope. I like to jolt people into consciousness. Like, like my first feature credit.

  [Sam gets up and grabs a basket of videotapes] 

  Sam Sylvia : 'Swamp Maidens of the Viet Cong'. Watch it. This one, 'Gina the Machina'. This thing? So offensive, it was banned in 49 States. Pretty proud of that.

  [pulls out more tapes] 

  Sam Sylvia : Oh, look at these. 'Couch of Pain', 'Blood Disco', 'Blood Disco 2'. You should watch these. I mean, bring them back, but, you know, take them, maybe make notes. I think there's a lot of inspiration there.

  Tammé Dawson : Okay.
