Role Models

Ryan rolls up to the motel in his faded red pickup truck, pulling into a space in the gravel parking lot. Staci and Jen invite him into their room to watch an adult Japanese anime video under the pretense that they're getting into character for upcoming roles.

Ryan's mother confronts her tenant next door, demanding a letter of intent. On the TV set in the living room is the making of footage from a Crest toothpaste commercial. In it, an actor in a giant ape costume rampages through a miniature mock downtown skyscraper set.
