Margaret steps out of the shadows.
MARGARET: That was apsolutely amazing.
Sam's a little scepical.
SAM: Thank you Miss Lawson.
Margaret walks down to stage.
MARGARET: Would you be interested in joining new Musical Club I'm forming.
SAM: I don't know maybe.
MARGARET: Well if you're interested you are already a member. This performing was enough for me.
SAM: I have to think about it. My thing is acting, not singing. I sing just for myself.
MARGARET: It's totally your choice, but it will be such a shame if you don't join. You have a potential becoming a Broadway star.
SAM: Thank you for your opinion. I'll think about it.
MARGARET: All right. Have a nice day.
SAM: Thank you. Have a nice day Miss Lawson.
Margaret leaves Sam alone.

SAM: Um..Jerry can I ask you something?
JERRY: Of course you can.
SAM: Am I Boardway potential?
Jerry looks at her surprised.
JERRY: Of course you are. I saw you sing on auddition for school play.
Sam just smiled at him.
JERRY: Why are you asking me this?
SAM: No reason. Just thinking.
JERRY: What ever you say. Have you seen Diamond or Mason?
SAM: I think they both went home. Why?
JERRY: Just wanted to discuss with them something about school play.
SAM: You can ask me.
Jerry smiled at her.
JERRY: Sorry again.
SAM: For what?
JERRY: For not considering you for advice.
SAM: Don't worry about it. It's all good. So what seems to be a problem.
JERRY: Would you be angry if I cast Diamond for the lead role?
SAM: Jerry, she's my best friend, of course I will not be mad.
JERRY: Thank you and I was thinking to give the male lead role to Mason.
SAM: I don't know. You know he's ashamed of his vocal abbilities?
JERRY: I know, I know.
SAM: I have an idea. Miss Lawson came to me today. She offered me to join a new Musical Club she's creating and I think it'll be good for Mason to join.
JERRY: Is she the one that told you, you're Boardway potential?
SAM: Maybe..
JERRY: What did you say?
SAM: That I'll think about it.
JERRY: Are you crazy. You should join!
