Birdman Scene 9 Summary

  • Mike heads to Riggan's office where he tells him that his prop gun is too fake and he doesn't feel threatened enough on stage. Other than that, fun crowd tonight.
  • Mike heads out to a balcony overlooking the main street.
  • Sam is there, sitting on the edge. This gives her an adrenaline rush, which is the closest thing she can get to a drug.
  • They play a game of Truth or Dare where Sam spits on a dudes head, finds out why Mike said she has a nice butt ("because you do" is his approximate answer), and learns that he doesn't want to "fool around" with her because he's afraid he won't be able to get it up, even though that was obviously not a problem on stage.
  • Then Mike says that, if he weren't afraid, he'd pull out her eyes and look through them to see what it's like to be young again. Ooh. Romantic.
