I came to ask for the part. Thomas Leroy:
The truth is when I look at you all I see is the white swan. Yes you're beautiful, fearful, and fragile. Ideal casting. But the black swan? It's a hard fucking job to dance both. Nina:
I can dance the black swan, too. Thomas Leroy:
Really? In four years every time you dance I see you obsessed getting each and every move perfectly right but I never see you lose yourself. Ever! All that discipline for what? Nina:

I just want to be perfect. Thomas Leroy:
