Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The tiny sentence turns a choice into a signal of obedience. In the audition, identifying a performer also means accepting a decision made elsewhere.

Spoilers for Mulholland DriveShow the scene
In Mulholland Drive, Adam repeats the casting instruction at the studio audition and accepts Camilla Rhodes for the role. The Castigliane brothers have already imposed the same phrase on him; it recurs elsewhere in the film as well. This card credits Adam’s audition-room repetition rather than treating the words as exclusive to one speaker.
