Well now that Jason Flyming has tweeted an image of the script he's reading from in his Star Wars: Episode VII audition, sites are starting to leak actual dialogue and details about what it entails. MTV has gone and posted a handy tip sheet for those planning to audition, based solely on what they've read. And now our friends at Bleeding Cool have gone and posted a full scene from the film, and the exchange between the two characters is pretty interesting....
Rachel labors to bear Thomas’s weight as they inch their way down a deserted road, blood dripping from his leg.
He’s trying to stomach an apple
THOMAS (kidding): Can’t you go any faster?
RACHEL: Shut up and eat your apple.
He enjoyed that, but every step is sheer agony on the leg.
RACHEL: There’s a barn a little farther up the road…
A big barn, dark and damp. Rachel covers the floor with hay, then lays out her sleeping bag. Thomas looks through her backpack for anything he can use as a bandage.
RACHEL: You need rest.
She lowers him down – which puts her face mere inches from his open would. She cringes without meaning to.
THOMAS: Sorry. I know it’s -
RACHEL: It’s fine. I’m just not a big fan of blood.
THOMAS: You know, for such a tough girl, you’re kind of squeamish.
RACHEL: Your fever’s still up. And we have to get some more food in you.
THOMAS: I’m not hungry.
RACHEL: It wasn’t a request.
She sits down next to him and takes out a loaf of bread.
THOMAS: Rachel, thanks for coming to get me.
RACHEL: Family has to stick together, right?
She starts to rise. He grabs her hand, dead serious.
THOMAS: Listen, if I don’t make it -
RACHEL: Sssshh.
THOMAS: But if I don’t…
Before he can finish, she drops down next to him and looks him dead in the eye.
RACHEL: You’re not going to die. I forbid it. Okay?
THOMAS: Okay.
RACHEL: Get some sleep.
THOMAS: What about you?
RACHEL: I will. In a bit.
It's worth noting that both MTV and Bleeding Cool referenced The Hunger Games in regards to this particular scene, and it's obvious as to why. Poor Peeta, always getting saved by Katniss. Must be emasculating. Anyway, Thomas seems to be in the same boat here, with Rachel as the strong one coming to his aid. How much of this will actually end up in the film is anybody's guess, but it suggests that these auditions may be done in pairs?
Star Wars: Episode VII opens December 18th 2015.
