Once the full group was gathered - all on time to Silvie's delight - she cleared her throat and welcomed them all and handed out the scripts. Robert as Hospital Head Healer Chris Webber began:
Each of you comes here today hopeful, wanting in on the game. Today, you are Healers. The seven years you spend here as a Healing resident will be the best and worst of your life. You will be pushed to the breaking point. Look around you. Say hello to your competition. Eight of you will switch to an easier specialty. Five of you will crack under the pressure. Two of you will be asked to leave. This is your starting line. This is your arena. How well you play... That's up to you.
Benita, seated next to the other American, Jeremy, finished the reading with lines Silvie had written and refused to allow anyone to edit.
I can't think of any one reason why I want to be a Healer, but I can think of a thousand reasons why I should quit. They make it hard on purpose. There are lives in our hands. There comes a moment when it's more than just a game, and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit but here's the thing, I love the playing field.She delivered the lines with such a perfect balance of vulnerability and fierce determination that Silviya felt a shiver go down her body - they had made the right choice. Bennie wasn't a name, she wasn't experience in television or film projects at all, but she was Grace. It was just as Silvie had hoped. It would be a hit, she knew it. She nudged Robert's leg under the table with a conspiratorial smile - they had a hit on their hands.
"Thank you all for coming today, I'm unbelievably excited to have you and to take this journey together. We'll start filming tomorrow at six am sharp, so please be a little early. After filming wraps in the evening, you'll each meet with our production team regarding the legal and professional aspects of your new contracts. Please feel free to enjoy tea here and get to know each other a bit, the conference room is yours - ours - for the rest of today if you'd like." She stood and made her way over to Bennie for a quick, encouraging word, before going to make herself a hot tea a the little lunch bar WeeVee had set up.
