i got cast in a student short film. i'm the lead. it's a sci-fi film with special effects. my "love interest" is a prejudiced, immature, inexperienced, young woman who apparently has had horrible relationships modeled for her.
ME: so how long do we think they've been together?
HER: i don't know, he didn't tell me.
ME: well, if we had to guess based on what we're given?
HER: not long.
ME: because he hasn't met her father yet, yeah, that's what i was thinking, too.
HER: no, because he called her beautiful. no one says that unless they just met.
ME: uh.....?
HER: and how can anyone date a blind person, i don't understand that.
(note -- she's the blind character)
ME: because they love each other.
HER: i mean, if you can't see, how do you even know if you're looking at a girl or a boy?
ME: men and women smell different. and they walk differently, and--
HER: i don't wear perfume.
ME: you still smell different, and--
HER: what if it was a transvestite, how would you know?
ME: i don't think it matters if you love someone.
HER: you would date a transvestite?
ME: if i loved them...
HER: but what if you met i met a guy who used to be a girl?!
ME: um....
HER: i can't believe you'd date a transvestite.
ME: ...
HER: (looking off in the other direction, clearly troubled by her vision)
ME: ... (still in shock, and slightly revolted) ... let's move on then, shall we?

Drat! I meant to post this as a comment, but I think I emailed it to you instead somehow.
Anyway. What I meant to post on here was:
Why was this woman cast?! Where do these people come from? I say she's closeting some part of herself. Nobody's that close-minded and hostile unless they're hiding something about themselves.
