In the virtual table read Aniston played the role of high school 'sex queen' Linda Barrett while Pitt was in the character of Brad Hamilton who fantasises about Barrett. The scene they read out together was one of the most passionate and notorious sequences of the teen-romance drama. It was daydream scene in which Brad Hamilton is in a bathroom fantasising over being seduced by Linda. As Morgan narrated it, Aniston playing Linda said, “Hi Brad” while Pitt who played Brad Hamilton could not stop blushing and smiling throughout. "You know how cute I always thought you were. I think you're so sexy. Will you come to me?" Aniston read further while keeping her eyes hooked to the script and barely looking into the screen.
