Honey shows up to her music video audition to find an interminable line of hopeful dancers. After a long wait, Honey hands over her head shot and resume, but is coldly turned away when she reveals her lack of affiliation with an agency.

Later, at the record store where she works with Gina, Honey files CDs and watches music videos on TV. Honey comments that she ought to be dancing in videos like Missy Elliott's "Gossip Folks." Gina agrees, informing Honey that had she taken her advice, she would be famous by now.

Meanwhile, at a company called Ellis Productions, music video director Michael Ellis spots Honey's dance moves in the amateur video shot at Overdrive. Michael is impressed, and immediately heads to the club to invite Honey to audition for an upcoming Jadakiss video. Initially thinking Michael is hitting on her, Honey blows him off, before realizing who he is and reacting with excitement.

After the crushing lack of support from her mom, here we see yet another obstacle standing between Honey and her noble dream: heartless audition directors. Honey's passion may be as real as her streetwise dialect, but without official representation, she is dismissed with a single word: "Next!" However, the audition director also informs Honey that there was an open call, but she missed it. As this is presumably not Honey's first audition, and not her first inkling that having or not having an agent makes a crucial difference, she might have investigated the situation further before showing up and waiting in line for hours.

Additionally, Honey's excuse about having to work is absurd, since teaching at the Centah is obviously a volunteer gig -- otherwise, Honey's mom could take more direct action against her daughter's dream and axe her from the payroll. On other hand, these issues bear little relevance when we have yet to learn why Honey, a locally famous dance teacher and choreographer, can't get herself signed with an agency.

Honey's discouragement is eased by Gina's words of wisdom: "Sometimes you gotta start in the back door if you wanna get in the front." While it is distinctly possible that Gina's advice is explicitly sexual and has nothing to do with Honey's audition, what matters is her unwavering support for her best friend regardless of her ambition. Gina's outrageous and risqué personality hints that her name may be short for the newest part of her anatomy; perhaps Gina's most outrageous assertion, however, is that her advice would have made Honey famous by now, leading us to wonder what these magical words might be and why Honey chose to ignore them.

Fortunately, however, it only takes Michael Ellis one look at a nearby TV screen to spot Honey in a crowd, recognize her talent, and decide to track her down that very night to offer her a job. Things are looking up for Honey, though to be fair, she has only been struggling for four minutes of runtime.
