That's Not Me Page #3

I don't think he needs another

ghost in his life right now.

(laughing)

Are you waiting

on someone?

Yeah, yeah, just

waiting on a friend.

John?

How do we?

Chantelle, you don't recognize

me from my profile photo?

Oh wow, yeah, yeah, I

didn't realize you're uh.

An albino.

No, no, I just, your

photo's black and white,

so I think I wasn't

quite expecting

An albino.

No, no, I didn't

even notice.

I just.

It's fine, I'm sorry.

(sighs) I shouldn't

have done this.

You just seemed

really nice online.

I should go.

No, no, please, please.

Stay.

Can I get you a drink?

(cheesy music)

Sure.

Spread your wings and fly

away to a place we call home

Wow, that was,

that much better than I

thought it was gonna be.

Are you serious?

You would have done

it better, yeah, but,

she was really

pretty good.

Yeah, she wasn't

bad at all,

and I f***in' hate

Summer Street.

[Simon] You watch

this show all the time.

[Ariel] Um, no

I don't, Simon.

I watch Home and Away.

[Simon] 'Cause there's such

a huge difference between

those two shows.

I'm sorry, you guys

actually thought that

was good television?

I don't know, I mean, I like

that she was willing to

get a bit down and

dirty with her image.

Down and dirty?

Because she

was an albino?

Seriously, how often

do you see albinos on TV?

And a hot one at that, you

know, she wasn't a freak show

or anything like that, that

was really respectful.

You know, Summer Street

have been giving voices to

a lot of minority

groups lately.

Good for them,

good for her.

Whoa.

No, I mean it,

good on her.

I've got a callback for that

HBO show filming in Sydney,

so, it's all

about choices.

Ah, with Jared Leto?

Mhmm. (smack)

My friend has one

too, I think, Dakota.

You remember her,

the Billabong model

with the gigantic

rack, yes.

I didn't know

she was an actor.

[Ariel] She isn't.

[Simon] Well,

neither is Polly.

Oh, f*** off.

(laughs)

The point is, it's just Summer

Street, it doesn't mean sh*t.

HBO want Amy.

What?

I told you to do

Summer Street, Polly.

These things always

lead to bigger things.

What about my callback?

They didn't do any.

They just saw Amy in

Summer Street and got her

in for a meeting.

I can see why, she has

such an unusual look.

It's difficult to articulate,

but they just said

there's something

about her.

She's just got "it".

That's me.

Regardless, I think

this could open doors

for you too, Polly.

Worked for the

Hemsworth boys.

They're not identical twins,

they're not even twins.

And anyway, I wanna get

there on my own merits,

not ride her coattails.

Well, you should be

thanking her, it's already

working in your favor.

Some feature film in

Adelaide asked to see you.

It's a good script,

it's a leading role.

Oh, okay.

Wow, that is something.

Just remember what

we discussed about

the hair, and this.

Well, thanks for coming

in, in such short notice,

and we'll just get

straight into it, I guess.

This is Corrie, our

writer-director.

Hi.

This is Evan, our

casting director.

And I'm Nick, I'm

producing this film.

Really lovely

to meet you.

I love the script, it's

beautifully written.

Oh, wow, that's

so lovely.

Thank you.

Great, well, why don't

you start by telling us

a little bit

about yourself?

Yeah, well, I'm 27,

I'm an actor, obviously,

I trained in Sydney, and

I moved back to Melbourne

a couple of years ago.

I've been doing a lot

of independent theater,

short films, workshops.

I'm going to LA for pilot

season, later this year.

Oh, great.

Yeah, that's great.

Yeah, we've been

hearing great things.

Wow, thank you.

[Corrie] So, have you got any

questions about the scene?

No, it seems pretty

straightforward.

[Corrie] Okay.

[Nick] Oh, tell us a little

bit about that HBO show,

can you talk about it?

[Corrie] Oh, yeah, it

must be amazing working

with Jared Leto.

Ah, no, that's

my sister, Amy.

Sorry?

My twin sister, Amy she's

the one filming the HBO

show, I'm Polly,

Polly Cuthbert.

Oh, she has a twin.

I had no idea,

I'm so sorry,

it's completely my fault.

Just a bit of bad

luck, I mean what's?

[Corrie] Well, who's

this one, then?

[Evan] I don't

know who this is.

I can still

start, if you like?

No, that's okay, I mean,

we don't want to waste

your time, so...

Thanks so much for

coming in, Amy's sister.

I'd love to show

you what I can do.

No, no, look it's fine,

see, we're only interested

in your sister at

this stage, so.

I'm a better actor.

She actually failed year 11

drama, I topped the class.

Okay, look, Amy.

Polly.

Polly, I'm so sorry.

We just don't think that

you're the right actor

for the role.

But we look

exactly the same.

And like I said, I'm

the better actor.

[Nick] Penny,...

Polly.

Penny, please don't

take this the wrong way,

it's just that

Amy has a profile.

She, a star on the rise.

Yeah, and we really do have a

lot of people to see today.

Although, one less

than we thought we would.

[Evan] I'm so

sorry, Corrie.

[Corrie] That's fine.

Please?

Could I just read?

I know I'm perfect

for the role.

Please.

Just let her read.

[Nick] Okay.

Thank you, thank

you so much.

You won't regret this.

Are we filming this one?

Ah, sure.

Yeah?

Why don't you, yeah.

And, rolling.

When you're ready.

(blowing raspberry)

(slow rock music riff)

A jug of the

sangria, thanks.

And a nachos.

Steven, I just don't think

you should be getting

the nachos, when you had

those chips before we came.

You can't come to Mexican

restaurant and not have nachos.

Besides, I'm a grown man; if

I want to order the nachos,

I'll order the

damn nachos.

Guys.

We'll just have the

sangria for now, thanks.

And a cerveza.

Molto bene.

She started it.

Fine, but don't ask me again

if I think you're getting fat.

Guys, seriously.

Where's Amy?

Fashionably late.

Don't you start.

Start what?

You know exactly

what I'm talking about.

Tonight's about Amy and us

celebrating as a family.

I'm very happy for her.

She said she tried to

ring you several times

this week, Pol.

I've just been

really busy.

Anyway, she's just

calling to gloat.

Don't sulk, Polly.

I'm not sulking.

She really looks up to you,

and your support would

really mean a lot to her.

Shouldn't we be

getting bubbles?

Uh, there's actually

Sprite in the sangria.

Does it really matter?

Big occasion?

Yes, our daughter's has been

cast in a television program.

Oh, congratulations.

No, our other daughter.

Yeah, not this one.

We're luck enough to have

two talented actresses

in our family.

Dad, please.

[Waiter] Are you

ready to order?

Ah, we'll need a bit

more time with the menus,

and we're just

waiting on one more.

Slow down on the

sangria, please?

I had one sip.

So, I have some

news too, actually.

I'm going to LA,

for pilot season.

Are you sure

that's a good idea?

I mean, financially.

You know, we're happy to help

you while you're finding

your feet here, Pol, but we
