Page 2 of 4
Bella

Do you want to stay?

Why not? All that awaits me at home is a masturbating Welshman.

But she said she wanted to go out with you?

Yes - sort of...

That's nice.

What?

Well, you know, anybody saying they want to go out with you is... pretty great... isn't it...?

It was sort of sweet actually - I mean, I know she's an actress and all that, so she can deliver a line - but she said that she might be as famous as can be - but also... that she was just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her. [pause] Oh, sod a dog. I've made the wrong decision, haven't I?

What's the pay like in movies? I mean. Last movie. How much did you get paid?

15 million dollars.

Keziah

No thanks, I'm a fruitarian.

Max

I didn't realize that.

And, ahm: what exactly is a fruitarian?

Keziah

We believe that fruits and vegetables have feeling so we think cooking is cruel. We only eat things that have actually fallen off a tree or bush - that are, in fact, dead already.

Right. Right. Interesting stuff. So, these carrots...

Keziah

Have been murdered, yes.

Murdered? Poor carrots. How beastly!

Martin

Did you know, and this is pretty amazing, but I once saw Ringo Starr.

Where was that?

Martin

Kensington High Street. At least I think it was Ringo, um, it could have been that guy from Fiddler on the Roof. You know, Toppy.

Topol.

Yes... yes that's right, Topol.

Mmmhmmm. Actually, Ringo Starr doesn't- doesn't at all look like, uh, Topol.

Martin

Yes, but, he was- he was quite a long way away from me.

So it actually could've been neither of them.

Martin

Yes, I suppose, so.

It's not really a classic, anecdote, is it?

Martin

Not a classic, no.

Max

Let's face facts, this was always a no-win situation. Anna's a goddess, you know what happens to mortals who get involved with gods.

Buggered, is it?

Max

Every time.

Max

You haven't slept with her, have you?

That is a cheap question and the answer is, of course, no comment.

Max

"No comment" means "yes."

No it doesn't.

Max

Do you ever masturbate?

DEFINITELY no comment.

Max

You see? It means "yes."

Max
[Opens door.]

Hi.

Hi. [Shows off her dress.]

Max

Ah yes, Happy Birthday.

Thank you.

Max

Look, your brother's brought this girl ...

Hi guys! [Walks into the house and turns a corner.] Oh, holy ****!

Hon, this is Anna. Anna, this is Honey. She is my baby sister.

Oh, hi.

Oh God! This is one of those key moments in life when it's possible you can be really genuinely cool and I ... I'm going to fail just a 100%. I ... I absolutely, totally, and utterly adore you, and I just think ... you are the most beautiful woman in the world. And more importantly, I genuinely believe, and I've believed for some time now, that ... that we could be best friends. So what do you think?

Oh ... ha ha, uh, lucky me! [Offers present.] Um ah well, Happy Birthday.

Oh, you gave me a present. We're best friends already then. ... Marry Will! He's a really nice guy. Then we can be sisters.

Well, I'll think about it.

P.R. Chief

Dominic... if you'd like to ask your question again?

Journalist

Yes. Anna, how long are you intending to stay here in Britain?

[pause]

Indefinitely.

P.R. Chief

Right. Yes. The gentleman in the pink shirt.

Yes. Miss Scott, are there any circumstances in which the two of you might be more than just good friends?

I hoped there would be but no, I've been assured that there aren't.

But what would you say...

P.R. Chief

I'm sorry. Just the one question.

No. It's alright. You were saying?

I was just wondering if uh it turned out that this person...

Journalist

Thacker. His name is Thacker.

Right. Thanks. Just wondered if Mr. Thacker realised he'd been a daft prick and got down on his knees and begged you to reconsider whether you would in fact... then reconsider.

[pause]

Yes. I believe I would.

That's very good news. Um, the readers of Horse and Hound will be absolutely delighted.

P.R. Chief
[Anna whispers in the P.R. Chief's ear]

Right, uh...Dominic... if you'd like to ask your question again?

Journalist

Yeah? Anna, how long are you intending to stay here in Britain?

[pause, smiles]

Indefinitely. [Elvis Costello's "She" begins to play as the camera pans between Will and Anna]

There's something wrong with this yogurt.

Ah, that's not yogurt, that's mayonnaise...

Ah, right-o then.
[continues to eat it]

[Anna has left after the press showed up on the doorstep]

Was it you?

I may have told a few people down at the pub.
