The all too familiar opening chords of Europe's The Final Countdown sounded and after a short delay for dramatic effect, GOB danced out onto the auditorium stage. He pulled blue and gold handkerchief chains out of both sleeves (which was difficult with a hand still in a cast) until the chains clearly met in the middle underneath his shirt. A large burst of smoke appeared on stage and when it cleared, the handkerchiefs had turned into two cages of doves. One of the doves fell over in the cage, choking on the smoke.

Over the next couple minutes he disappeared cards, linked and unlinked rings, and made his cast say "GO GREMLINS." It was slightly more impressive than should normally be expected from GOB.

When the music wound down, GOB stepped up to the microphone. "Welcome, ladies, gentlemen, and others. Today you will witness the finest example of amateur talent you have ever seen. Unless they suck. If they suck, you should make sure they know they suck. Not just today. Boo them this weekend, too. They'll deserve it for making me a liar."

"Anyway, let's hear it for today's acts!"

"You did great," he assured her, bouncing a little bit. "I couldn't tell you were nervous, anyway."

"Well, thank you! I didn't necessarily understand everything I was saying, but I had an acting coach back in LA who picked out that monologue for me to do at auditions," she explained.

She wrinkled her nose. "It didn't really help me any."

Anders laughed, awkwardly. "If it helps, I didn't really understand all of it either," he admitted. "Maybe that's why it didn't help you out at auditions? Because people didn't understand it and that pissed them off?"

He paused. "Not that that makes any sense, but . . ."

Cordelia laughed. "No, you're probably right. If I ever do another audition, I'll read something from a children's book," she said, grinning.

Even though she'd only done a short monologue, she felt really energetic for some reason.

"Yeah, nobody likes to come out feeling dumb after a conversation or something," Anders said with the nod of someone experienced in such matters. "But then, you don't want to do anything from too much of a little kids' book either, or it might make 'em feel dumb too."

Anders tangled a hand up in his hair and sighed. "I should really read more. I might actually have suggestions then."

"That's a good point," Cordy said.

"Not that it matters, really. I don't think I'll be acting again any time soon."

"Well, that's too bad," Anders said. "I'd totally go see you in anything."
