Destruction and Drama in the Dressing Room
Determined to confront Dismukes, Taylor, now embodying Angela Bassett’s character Bernadine, storms into the dressing room.

As chaos ensues, Dismukes sees the mess and cluelessly asks, “Is this about the parm?” In true dramatic fashion, Taylor, in character, retorts, “Get your (bleep) and get out!”
