Well Played, Kate Winslet

KATE: I want it, Leo. I want the Oscar.

LEO: And you will win one, Kate. … For HOTNESS.

KATE: Stop clowning. I know I look fabulous. Have you SEEN me?

LEO: I’m either used to the tan, or it’s faded. Smashing.

KATE: Next stop, Academy Award.

LEO: I can see you holding it, Kate.

KATE: I have to have it, Leo.

LEO: Squeeze my hand and let’s dream together.

KATE: I will not be Susan Lucci, Leo. I will not be the goddamn Susan Lucci of Real Acting.

LEO: I won’t let it happen.

KATE: Nineteen tries. It took her NINETEEN TRIES to win the Daytime Emmy. I’ve had ten tries and I haven’t even won a fucking Globe. A GLOBE. They’re not even REAL AWARDS.

LEO: Wow, you have one hell of a grip.

KATE: I will NOT LET THIS HAPPEN. I WILL NOT become the Erica Kane Martin Brent Cudahy Chandler Roy Roy Montgomery Montgomery Chandler Marick Marick Montgomery of the grown-up awards circuit! NO.

LEO: Can’t… feel… fingers…

KATE: I have two more Globe nominations, and let’s
face it, probably two more Oscar ones coming up, AND ONE OF THEM HAD BETTER PAY OFF, DO YOU HEAR ME?

LEO: All right, all right! But at least you look amazing.

KATE: Well, yes. That is the first step. And then we will conquer the trophies.

LEO: Phew. I thought I was going to lose my hand.
