And… I trust my agent, and I trust my director and I trust my co-stars but…

In just a few hours, a limo is picking me up —

And I’ll find out if it’s true.  If “about to” is now.

Everyone’s got a dream, right?

Will my BIG ONE come true? Is this it?

Getting cast in this movie wasn’t it.
Getting dressed for my premiere isn’t it —
