The scene in question features Maddy Perez, one of the show’s main characters, who is desperately seeking a job in Los Angeles. Perez (played by Alexa Demie) ambushes a high-powered Hollywood executive at a restaurant and convinces the exec to offer her a job based solely on a short speech.

“I know I’m not what you are looking for. I didn’t go to USC. I didn’t even apply for college. My parents were immigrants,” Maddy told the executive after being told she wasn’t hiring.

She continued: “I know my generation is entitled, but I don’t believe anybody owes me anything. I’m not a victim. I won’t be an HR nightmare, and I believe in capitalism.”

Maddy then goes on to answer the executive’s phone, acting as an executive assistant—and landing the job.

Can an actor just choose not to deliver these lines? Like, can they say "Change that or I walk." Or if there're contracts preventing you from walking, could you just refuse to say it, like a strike? Surely other actors would join you. And if they fire you, good riddance. I guess that might make it harder to get cast in other projects. I just can't imagine delivering lines like that.
