The scene opens with a conversation between a young man and a young woman. The young man asks the young woman if she would like to be his model. The woman says yes, and the young man tells her that he wants to be a famous actor. He then tells the woman that she should think twice about hiring him as a model because he's not good enough for the role. He also tells her to be careful with money, because he doesn't want to be seen as a bad actor. The girl agrees to be the model, but she's still not sure if she wants to become an actress or a singer.
