Page "Living in Oblivion" Paragraph 8

Part three: Later the same day, the crew is setting up for a dream sequence in which Nicole, as Ellen, stands still while a dwarf walks around her holding an apple.

Nick claims to have learned a lesson from his own dream: That sometimes, " you just got to roll with things.

" Nicole admits that she had a dream with Nick in it but doesn't tell him what happened.

Nick manages to keep up his positive attitude despite the various mishaps that occur: The smoke machine fails to work, then it catches fire, then his senile mother Cora arrives on the set.

However, the ill-tempered dwarf actor Tito ( Peter Dinklage ) complains that the dream sequence is a cliché (" I don't even have dreams with dwarves in them!

") and walks off the set in disgust.

Nick's confidence collapses, and he announces that the movie is over.
