- I need the toilet.
Thanks for the gig.
For all this.
I'm having so much fun.
I'm sorry if...
Oh, sorry, schmorry.
You're doing brilliantly.
And if I may make a prediction,
it's going to make you famous.
- Really?
- Mm-hm.
Tell me about you.
Are you married?
Jettisoned the husband, darling.
When you're breaking through
the glass ceiling,
there are bound to be
casualties.
Well, angel, he could barely do
wee-wees standing up by himself.
Honestly, no loss there.
Any kids?
No, no,
never did the kid thing.
Oh, look.
Oh!
Here we have
fresh Sydney rock oyster
and an icing
accompanied by sauce Choron.
Thank you.
Ooh! Mmm!
Mmm!
- Elspeth!
- What?
You just murdered an entire
symphony of taste sensations.
Sorry. Just so excited to eat
a meal I haven't cooked myself.
- Here.
- Oh, no, it's yours.
- Honestly, I'm not hungry.
- Oh, OK.
Now, one more time
with feeling.
Savour the sluttish luxuriance
of the oyster.
Let the juices
have their wicked way with you.
Love it like
you're not supposed to.
Aren't we naughty?
It's such a lovely night.
back to the hotel.
Yes, of course,
but before you go,
I want you to do
something for me.
I want you
"I am Elspeth Dickens, goddess!"
No!
Come on. You've got
a big photoshoot tomorrow.
I need you to be
in the right headspace.
Think of it as
a branding exercise.
I am Elspeth Dickens,
goddess!
Yes, you are.
See you at the studio. 7am sharp.
# Oh, my, here's a beauty
# She's a real cutie
# Think I feel a duty
to put her in my song. #
- What's your name, darling?
- I'm Elspeth Dickens, goddess.
# Elspeth is a goddess
- # And she is very modest... #
- Mm-hm.
# She is much too pretty
to be alone in this big old city
# Oh, Elspeth Dickens,
my heart quickens
# But I ain't easy pickins
'Cause you walk like
# You walk like
You walk like
# 10 chickens. #
- I'm sorry, but it rhymes.
- Rubbish.
# I have to play here
# Don't disappear, dear... #
# She flies like a seagull... #
Still rubbish!
# And people... #
So that's
the Megaptera novaeangliae.
- That's the humpback whale.
- Moo!
- No, that's a cow, OK?
- But this...
Thank you.
That's the noise he makes
as well.
So this...
...is the Globicephala melaena -
that's the pilot whale.
That's the mighty
sperm whale.
'Bye, chaps.
Wish me luck.
Darling, Botticelli's
Venus doesn't have any clothes.
Can't I be the Mona Lisa
instead, then?
No, precious. You're a goddess.
That's the whole point.
I'm not a goddess.
I'm a mother with stretch marks.
We can fix all that.
Trust me. You'll look perfect.
But isn't the whole point
that I'm not perfect?
That I'm a normal mother
who still has a life?
Angel, the earth mother is dead.
People want to see mums portrayed
as bold and sexy.
I don't want
to take my clothes off.
I'm a singer,
not a centrefold.
Ralph!
Ah... Elspeth,
I think you look... hot.
But not like a... not a dirty hot.
Like a... a... a classy hot.
And... you know,
and twice as rich.
Your hair's covering
your boo... hip... your bips.
Your... your bits.
a model's body
and just
stick her head on it?
You're missing the point!
I don't feel right
about being plastered
over the arse end of a bus
with whoever's body
I happen to be wearing
stark bloody naked!
Hello?
Cassandra?
Cassandra?
Do you want people
to hear your songs?
Yes, of course.
Then you need exposure.
- Yeah, but I didn't think...
- Everything costs.
Everything has a price.
You want some of this,
you give up some of that.
I'm sorry, I just don't think
I should give up...
Oh, come on, Elspeth -
both you and I know
you would do backflips naked across
Sydney Harbour Bridge
to get where
you want to go.
And that's OK.
But be that person.
Don't pretend to be
this dreary little house mouse
clutching onto her modesty.
It's dishonest.
I don't want to be naked.
That's not dishonest.
What is dishonest
is wasting time in here
so you can feel better
about making the compromise
you know you have to make
out there.
What is dishonest is keeping
an entire studio
full of professionals waiting
while you pretend you're not
an extremely ambitious
young woman
who knows exactly
what she must do
to get where
she wants to go.
That is dishonest.
Breathe. Take a deep breath.
Take a break.
Take a moment for yourself.
And then it's back out there
to do the job
you're being paid to do.
OK?
# A foolish
# See her pride
See her fall
# Somewhere in the fountain
# A magic fish
swims and sings
# Be careful what you wish... #
# Danger in the air now
What, what, what you want?
# Is this what you really want?
Your fairytale unfolds, wow
# What, what, what you want?
# Is this
what you really want?
# Princes may be
really frogs
# Look out for
three-headed dogs
# Sleeping there in hollow logs
# Be careful what you wish
- # Careful, don't play the fool
- # Ah
# You may be forced to duel
- # Did you set out to rule?
- # Ah
# When you get it
Ah hah hah hah
# Is this what
you came here for?
- # Ah
- # Beware of the golden doors
# You get what
you're asking for
# When you get it
Ah hah hah hah hah hah
# Did you want the crown now?
# What, what, what you want?
# Is this what
you really want?
# You're in lost-and-found now
# What, what, what you want
# Is this
what you really want?
# There's something loose
out in the land
# May not be
what you have planned
# Be careful what you wish
- # Careful, don't play the fool
- # Ah
# You may be forced to duel
# And did you
set out to rule?
# When you get it
Ah hah hah hah
# Was this
what you came here for?
# You get what
you're asking for
# When you get it
Ah hah hah hah hah hah. #
- They uploaded your webcasts!
- Oh, great!
- Which made the server collapse.
- Oh, no.
No, no, no, that's great!
The server collapsed
because every man and his dog
is logging on
to watch you.
So, drum roll, please.
Cassandra pitched an idea
to the client.
I have suggested that instead of
wasting Elspeth Dickens
on the Asia-Pacific campaign,
they use her
to spearhead the...
...international launch!
Rich! Rich!
You'll be rich, I tell ya!
They've asked for a day or two
to consult the powers that be,
but what this means in the
short term is that I need you here,
ready to jump
when they say jump.
Oh, that's great, but I'm on
the six o'clock flight.
- Uh, no, cancelled it.
- But the kids, James!
They're expecting me home.
Don't get me wrong.
This is wonderful.
But I have to have
a conversation with my husband...
Ralph, go to the lobby and fetch me
Yep. There's one
in the minibar.
