Lena’s jaw tightens. Something behind her eyes flickers — fear, maybe, or want.
[Date] Self-tape preferred — slate with name, height, and what draws you to Lena.
JUNE I don’t think you could be boring if you tried.
Lena stands. Not dramatic. Just… careful.
LENA (almost a smile) That’s because you haven’t seen me on three hours of sleep and a sugar crash.
LENA (CONT'D) Your pie’s on the house tonight.
She walks toward the counter. Doesn’t look back. “Lena is a role that requires restraint. The audience should feel the earthquake beneath the linoleum floor. I’m looking for someone who can hold silence like a secret — and whose eyes tell the story their mouth won’t. Wit is armor. Let me see what it’s protecting.” Audition Request: Please prepare the above sides. Be off-book if possible. No need for a “diner voice” — Lena’s naturalism is her superpower. If you have a short improvisation of Lena alone after this scene (30 seconds), that’s welcome but not required.
The jukebox plays low. Rain streaks the window. JUNE sits across from LENA in a booth, coffee gone cold.
LENA (quiet) Quieter. Probably boring.
JUNE Wherever you left.
JUNE You ever wonder what you’d be like if you’d stayed?
LENA People say that. Right before they leave.
June doesn’t laugh. She holds Lena’s gaze.
JUNE You don’t have to be the sharpest thing in the room with me.
