Amy: (corrects:) "What you're saying"
Voice: WILL YOU LISTEN ALREADY?
Amy: Listening.
Voice: You don't get to decide if you're good enough or qualified enough or capable. They do. You get to apply and put your best foot forward and open yourself to opportunity and the possibility of working full-time making and watching theatre. The hiring committee gets to look at the bigger picture of all the candidates applying and make a final decision.
