it always helped me (back at the beginning of my career) to write everything out by hand - write all of your cue lines and then your character's responses - something about the act of writing with your own hand helps to transfer the information to your brain faster.
I also used to tape record all my cue lines and leave spaces for my character to respond on the tape - that way I had a "scene partner" to rehearse with whenever I needed one.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"
Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!
