Later - and I win a prize for the most left-field reference so far
Cordelia - it's ok for you daisy. you;'ve never had to fight to get to the heart of Ibsen.
Daisy - Ibsen? Don't talk to me about Ibsen. Asshole. When I played Ellida in The Lady from the Sea and I guess Marta in The Pillars I had to do'dreamy yearnings of escape from a dull life', to where 'the sky is wide... clouds rise higher... the air is freer...' you have to fight the play, the director, the audience, everybody - otherwise it's just same old same old about 'women'. Yawn. Jesus Henrik honey? Let it go. All this self sacrificing. Women do more than moan. When I did A Doll's house I played it slapstick. Who wants to see boring woman leaves boring man. And don't even talk to me about Hedda Garbler.
Cordelia. I had no idea..
Daisy - For fucks sake Cordelia - just cause i got a cleavage and act a bit goofy don't mean I'm ain't got the smarts. The reason I wasn't in Erwin's films was cause it might've screwed up my work off-broadway. You know how it is? You don't want the New Yorker to start every review by saying they've seen your tits. You know it;'s funny. I actually think we have more in common than you realise. I have to say I reckon there's a pretty good actress in you. You just need to take that stick out of your ass..
Cordelia - but...
Daisy - don't you see. You have to lighten up. I have a blast with Erwin. Fun? You never heard of fun? And I tell you what. That's what these guys specialise in. Ain't nothing to be ashamed of.
Cordelia - don't you care what people think..
Daisy..fuck no...and you shouldn't niether...tell me something...what are you doing here? Tonight?
Cordelia - Kevin said...
Daisy - Kevin!..oh I get it...you want to impress a guy like him. Do yourself a favour - dress as that tomb raider chick and run about a bit...a bit of action..build up a sweat..
Cordelia - how?
Daisy - star jumps honey. How do you think. Use your imagination.
Cordelia - but
Daisy - you're an actress I know. And you're intelligent and deep and everything means something to you - good - but you won't have half as much fun. Come on.
Cordelia - what?
Daisy - I've got an outfit you can borrow.
Cordelia - your kidding.
Daisy - Why would I kid? I live for myself honey and I know what I'm talking about...come on...

I'm really not sure about this. I like the idea that Daisy has done Ibsen etc but i'm not convinced they can have dialogue of this length while the "interview" is going on around them. How they compete over some monogues or a little action scene but with quicker dialogue and more Erwin and Kevin involvement?
I'll try that last sentence in English now:
Howabout C and D compete over some monologues, or a little action scene, but with quicker dialogue and more Erwin and Kevin involvement?
Too much? fair cop.
like the competing over monologue - poetry slam style..works particularly well with Ibsen
