Transcript:
Sid: Boopsie, who loves ya, babe? Boopsie: What's wrong, Sid? Sid: Can we talk? Boopsie: Uh-oh.. Sid: I came as soon as I got the news. I didn't want you to hear it on the radio. Boopsie: I don't understand, Sid. Sid: It happens, babe. Boopsie: But you said I'd be nominated. You said I was a shoo-in! Sid: I said it was a possibility, but you know the academy, sweetheart, it's all politics! Boopsie: Then why'd the studio take out the trade ads pushing me? I did my best work in "She Creature from Grok"! It's about grosses, isn't it? If your film doesn't make $100 million, nobody takes you seriously! Sid: Listen, Boopsie, I know you're disappointed, but disappointed, but to be a best-supporting actress, you gotta have that extra something. Know what I'm saying? Boopsie: Like what, Sid? Sid: Like lines, babe. You need actual lines. Boopsie: I had lines! In Grokian! Meryl Streep does foreign accents all the time!
