That's Not Me Page #4

can't afford to bankroll

a trip to LA.

Well, I've got a credit

card, and some savings.

And you're just going to

blow it all on a trip to LA?

(beeping)

It's not just a trip, it's

an investment, for work.

Anyway, it wouldn't even

cost that much, I could

stay with Zoe.

Zoe?

Zoe Cooper, you

know, my actor friend.

She was in that David Lynch

film you didn't understand.

Oh yeah, I didn't

like that film.

Well, anyway, she lives over

there now, so she could

help me get some

meetings and...

Excuse me, we're gonna

need one more setting.

Is she bringing Jared?

Excuse me?

Yes.

Now sweetie.

I'm sorry, Jared Leto?

They've really

hit it off.

(Laughs) Hit it off?

As in, hit it off,

are you serious?

Actually,

really nice guy.

When did you meet him?

Yesterday, they came

over for afternoon tea.

He had a play on my guitar,

he's an amazing musician.

Amazing.

You never let me

play on your guitar.

Polly, it's Jared Leto?

He's like an

Oscar winner.

Couldn't really

well say no.

Oh, oh Polly.

Don't do this.

You have a chance to

the bigger person, here.

You're gonna have to

start preparing yourself,

'cause Amy's on the brink

of something big, here.

Yeah, she's 30

seconds to who cares.

What?

Forget it, I can't stay

anyway, I just remembered

I have a date.

No, you don't.

I do actually, with a hot

up-and-coming director.

[Oliver Voice Mail]

Hey, it's Ollie.

If it's about the Dumbwaiter,

shoot me an email.

Otherwise, leave me a

message after the (beep).

(somber music)

Holy f***, it's the albino

from Summer Street.

[Guy] Oh my god,

she's so white.

Maybe she's

a real albino.

What, albino,

no, it's albee-no.

[Girl] No, it's albino,

it's the same thing anyway.

(soft acoustic music)

[Polly] Vanilla, chocolate,

honeycomb, blueberry,

mint and banana.

[Woman] Sorry, I wasn't

listening, what flavors

have you got?

Vanilla...

[Man] Actually, I'll just

have a bottle of water.

Yeah, me too.

Actually, I'll just

have a sip of his.

Four dollars,

ninety, thanks.

Four dollars ninety

for a bottle of water?

Bargain, isn't it?

Next.

Next, please.

Polly.

Oliver, hello.

Or should I say, hallo.

I forgot you

worked here.

Yeah, I'll bet.

What film you seeing?

Just two tickets

to Seven Sundays.

How are ya?

Yeah, good, do you have any

loyalty or concession cards?

No.

Jeez, I mean this

kinda feels like fate.

Is halfway back

on the aisle okay?

Yeah, great.

Actually, I prefer something

more in the center.

I've got three rows from

the front, if you want

to sit in the center.

Is that really close?

It's three rows

from the front.

Oh, okay.

No, I'll go with the

first one you suggested.

It's actually really

great to see you.

It's been ages.

Yeah, months.

Well, look, I'd love to

take you out for a drink

sometime, or

coffee, whatever.

Yeah, maybe.

Okay.

I'll call you.

Well, what

about tonight?

I knock off around about

when your film gets out.

Um, yeah, I'm kinda

here with someone.

Oh, okay.

I get it.

No, no, my mom.

No, no, my mom.

She's over there.

She's over there.

Oh, right.

Look, yeah, why not?

I'll wait for you

after the film.

Okay, I'll

see you soon.

Hello, can I get

a ticket, please?

Sure.

What film are you seeing?

Um, the Ryan

Gosling film.

Seven Sundays.

(cheerful rock music)

Well, you really

love your carbs.

So yeah, anyway,

critically-speaking, it was

really well-received.

The Dumbwaiter has just opened

up so many doors for me.

I mean, I have set designers

coming up to me now,

I don't have to beg

them to work for free.

It's great that

you can pay people.

No, they still work for

free, I just don't have to

feel guilty about it.

Oh, that's great

too, I think.

You should have come.

I've actually been going

through a bit of a tough time.

But yeah, actors too, I

have a stack of head shots

actors gave me, on

opening night.

People actually

do that?

I feel like I have

free reign to do whatever

I really want now.

I've been reading a lot of

old obscure French plays,

I'm thinking about translating

them into English,

but putting them into

a modern context.

I really wanna shake things up

and do something different.

I forgot how

pale you are.

Thanks?

Yeah, like I said in the

cinema, it just feels like

fate, running into you.

Yeah, you kinda dropped off

the face of the planet.

Yeah, I was going through

a strange state of flux.

You know, I had just broken

up with my ex, and then we

ended up getting

back together.

Oh, and now?

Nah, we broke up again.

You coulda just

let me know.

Yeah, I just didn't

wanna get into that ugly

question/explanation

game.

And to be honest, I mean,

if you'd gone quiet on me,

I would've got

the message.

So you work at

the cinema?

Do you get free tickets?

Yep, and

half-price popcorn.

Hey, what's your

all-time favorite movie?

Frank Capra's It's

a Wonderful Life.

Oh, that's a bit corny.

I thought you said...

So I hear your sister's

doing really well.

Yep, that seems to be

the general consensus.

I read about Amy being

cast in that HBO series,

and I thought, what a

coincidence, reading about her,

and seeing you now.

It's funny because I'm directing

this film later in the

year, and I have this

script that I'd really love

her to read.

And I was kinda wondering

if maybe I might be able to

grab her email

address off you.

I mean, I can always go

through her agent, I just

thought this might be

a bit more personal.

Okay?

It must be kinda weird for

you, now that she's famous.

Not really, it's fine.

I'm happy for her.

It reminds me of these

twins I met in New York,

so they were both ballerinas,

and like, hot, like

hot ballerinas.

Yeah, you told me this

story, one ends up a famous

ballerina, and the other

one ends up a fat nurse.

Oh yeah, it's

kind of sad, eh?

That she's fat, or

that she's a nurse?

What?

Well, she might

be really happy.

You don't know.

It's more than

you're doing.

Excuse me?

She's a nurse,

she's saving lives.

What are you doing

that's so great?

I'm adapting Camus

for the arts festival,

what the f***

are you doing?

[Patricia] Polly darling, I'm

gonna have to let you go. (puffs)

What?

I'm sorry, dear,

you're confusing people.

But I'm the good one.

Oh, there is no good

one, but if there was,

it would be Amy.

She's the one

getting all the work.

Frankly, there's no point having

both of you on the books,

you can't offer me

anything different.

I could dye my hair,

I'll do commercials.

I have to look out for

Amy's brand now, dear.

That audition was embarrassing

for everyone concerned.

They wanted Amy, and instead

they got "the other one".

That's what they actually

called you in the feedback,

"the other one".

But I read really well.

And I thought you said the

sibling thing could work to

my advantage, like for

the Hemsworth brothers.

Not when you're identical,

the only angle would be to
