Well, first of all,
I want to tell you what a fantastic job you're doing, Miss Jane.
Oh! Thanks. I'm... I'm working my butt off, but I love it.
I know.
That's why we're going to have this talk.
I know how important this play is to you,
and I wouldn't want anything to jeopardize that.
Whoa, wait. Am I in trouble?
No, no. Everything's fine. It's just...
It's about Jason.
Some of us have noticed,
that your behavior with him lately has been a little inappropriate.
I haven't done anything.
I know, but appearances are important.
And people tend to make assumptions.
Well, they shouldn't!
I know, I know. But... They do.
Now, I understand that you want to pursue acting as a career.
Is that true?
May I offer you some advice?
As you go out on auditions,
you'll be meeting a lot of men, powerful men,
who may be interested in you for reasons other than your talent.
Now you're a very attractive young woman,
and you may be tempted to take advantage of that.
In the short term, that may work.
But in the long term, people might lose respect for you.
And they may find you a little... trashy.
I know I sound harsh, but it's only because I care about you,
and I want you to earn the respect that you deserve as a woman,
not because of your body, but because of your mind.
And that is why you need to stay away from Jason.
