The funny clip is an “audition” for the role, using lines from Cher’s famous debate from the 1995 film, in which she compared the Haitian immigration crisis to her father’s garden party.

Silverstone, now 39, played the unflappable high schooler in the hit film, which updated Jane Austen’s Emma for the ‘90s crowd. It’s difficult to imagine anyone else in the role, but director Amy Heckerling recently revealed that Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow were also in the running to play the teen queen.
