good news what Amy Brandt the casting

loved it and she loved it so much that

she wants you to come in tomorrow an

audition for this huge movie that she's

got I'm not going I'm not going well

one's gonna be no that one's gonna be

I'm sorry that will kill me what what if

you want me then you have to make sense

if you can be quiet you have to make

some goddamn sense you tell me why and

the same thing happens every time where

I get interrupted because someone wants

to get a sandwich or I'm crying and they

start laughing or there's people sitting

in the waiting room and they're and

they're like me but prettier and better

at this because maybe I'm not good

maybe I'm not you are maybe I'm one of

those people that has always wanted to

do it but it's like a pipe dream for me

you change your dreams and then you grow

up maybe I'm one of those people and I'm

not supposed to and I can go back to

school and I can find something else

that I'm supposed to do cuz I left to do

that and it's been six years and I don't

want to do it anymore

be out front at 8:00 a.m. you'll be out

Key Grammar Structures

• why did you come here because I have good news

  ➔ Past Simple Question + Present Simple

  ➔ The auxiliary **"did"** forms a past‑simple question ("did you come"). "have" is the present‑simple verb expressing possession.

• she loved it and she loved it so much that she wants you to come in tomorrow

  ➔ Past Simple + Present Simple + Infinitive

  ➔ The verb **"loved"** is in the past simple to show a finished action. **"wants"** is present simple, and **"to come"** is an infinitive used after a verb of desire.

• I’m not going, I’m not going well one’s gonna be no that’s gonna be

  ➔ Present Continuous (negative) + Informal Future "gonna"

  ➔ The contraction **"I’m not going"** uses the present continuous to express a current plan that is being rejected. **"gonna"** is the colloquial reduction of "going to" for future intent.

• what if you want me then you have to make sense

  ➔ First‑Conditional (if + present simple) + Modal "have to"

  ➔ The clause **"if you want me"** uses the present simple after "if" to talk about a possible situation. **"have to"** expresses obligation: "you **have to** make sense".

• the same thing happens every time where I get interrupted because someone wants to get a sandwich

  ➔ Simple Present + Relative Clause + Because‑Clause

  ➔ The verb **"happens"** is in the simple present for habitual actions. **"where I get interrupted"** is a relative clause describing "the same thing". **"because"** introduces a reason.

• maybe I’m one of those people that has always wanted to do it

  ➔ Relative Clause with "that" + Present Perfect Simple

  ➔ The clause **"that has always wanted"** is a relative clause modifying "people". **"has wanted"** is present perfect, showing an action that started in the past and continues to the present.

• you can go back to school and I can find something else that I’m supposed to do

  ➔ Modal "can" + Infinitive + Relative Clause with "that" + Passive-like "be supposed to"

  ➔ The modal **"can"** expresses ability. **"to go"** and **"to find"** are infinitives. The relative clause **"that I’m supposed to do"** uses the semi‑modal "be supposed to" to indicate expectation or duty.

• why don’t you want to do it anymore

  ➔ Negative Question with Modal "don’t" + Infinitive

  ➔ The auxiliary **"don’t"** (do + not) creates a negative question. **"to do"** is the infinitive that follows the verb "want".

• you’ll be out front at 8:00 a.m.

  ➔ Future Simple with "will" + Be‑verb

  ➔ The contraction **"you’ll"** stands for "you will" and forms the simple future. **"be out front"** indicates location in the future.
