Be honest
You are a close friend of Zoe, who has a final-round job interview tomorrow morning.
In her living room, Zoe has just done a practice run of the ten-minute presentation she must give at the interview. It ran fifteen minutes, her main point was unclear, and she read most of it from her notes.
What's said in the scene
Zoe: Okay, that's it. I've practiced it like twenty times.
Zoe: Be honest. Is it good? I really need this job.
