Who Is Alice? Page #2

Bye.

- Bye, Anna.

- Bye.

- Martin.

- Bye, Martin.

- Bye.

- Mum, it's Martin again.

- I was thinking.

Could I take you for a drink

somewhere this week?

- I've just moved in so.

- Just to get to know

each other as neighbors?

Just one drink?

- Yes.

- Great, tomorrow?

- Perhaps a little later in the week?

Thursday?

- Perfect.

We can go to the Red Lion

at the end of the street.

- Sure.

- Say at seven PM?

- Eight.

- Perfect, great, nice.

- Okay.

Well bye.

- Yeah okay, yeah, bye then.

- Bye.

- Wow, thank you.

That is such a great farewell party.

- Well you know,

we're really gonna miss you Dick.

It's like who's going to

insult me in the morning?

- Don't worry, I'll text you.

- Oh joy.

- Can I have a cola, please?

- A glass of white wine.

- Sparkling water.

- You know what?

It's absolutely wonderful to be free.

And you know what I've realized what I am?

- A dick?

- No, listen.

Who are you?

- Leo.

- Yeah okay so you're Leo.

But let's say you change

your name to Roger.

Are you still Leo?

- Why would Leo change his name to Roger?

- Well okay, you know what?

That's beside the point.

What I'm trying to explain

is that you are not your name.

This is probably the most important

question you're ever

going to ask yourself.

Who are you?

- Cheers.

- Because I think you

think you're your body.

But you are not your body.

- My scales will beg to differ.

- Okay, but what if I

cut off both your arms

and both your legs, are you still you?

- I really don't think that's

the best way to lose weight, Dick.

- If you haven't got any arms and legs,

are you still you.

- Yes, of course you are.

- So where then is the hidden I am,

this little I.

In your body?

I know what you're want to say now.

You want to say,

actually it's in my mind.

You think there is a little Sandra

up in your mind steering the wheel.

But that, that little

I, that's an illusion.

- Whatever.

- No Sandra.

Listen, if you look for that I you're

never going to find it.

- Oh, so The I is like

a girlfriend for Leo.

- What?

- You'll never find one.

- Oh come on.

Just because I haven't had a date in

a while doesn't mean I

can't get laid anymore.

- Of course it doesn't.

It just means you have to pay for it.

- I have sex from time to time.

I just don't always

tell you guys about it.

- What a minute.

This is possibly the most

existential question ever here,

and you've just turned it to sex.

- Everything is about sex.

Life is about sex.

We're only here because

somebody has been f***ing.

Well apart from Leo obviously.

- And how many have you had Sandra?

- What, today?

- No, you guys, you don't understand it.

Our brains, they are creating

this self-awareness all the time

and then you think that.

- My goal in life is

connect with the source,

to be one with infinite love.

- Thank you, Alice.

- I could do it a bit more

aggressively if you like.

- No, no, no, it was good.

- Yes, thank you Alice.

- It was great to see

you and solid audition.

What's your availability at the moment?

- You know what it's like,

I've got a lot of jobs on the go.

- Oh, we're filming in the next few days

and if you're busy then.

- No, no, no, I'm sure I can fit it in.

I can be pretty flexible.

- Good, we'll give you a call.

- Thanks, Tom.

It's good to see you.

We should catch up.

- I'll walk with you Alice.

- Bridget.

- Hi, Ismael.

- Nice seeing you.

- How are you?

- Good, come in.

- Oh, Alice.

- Hi.

- Sorry I'm late,

I had to go to an audition.

- Oh, you're an actress?

- Yeah.

- Oh sh*t.

Have I seen you in anything?

- You remember Elements of Spring?

- No, no, sorry.

- Well, next week I might be winning

the award for best actress

in the The Silent Day.

- Nothing To Be Lost?

- The one with the bear.

- Vampires.

- Vampires, bear.

- Do you ever go to the cinema?

- I am terrible with names.

- No One Left?

- The Western?

- No it's the crime drama with Rick Alan.

You've been living in a hole.

These aren't B movies.

- Would you like a drink?

- Yeah, please.

A white wine.

- A white wine.

- Do I know you from somewhere?

- Well

- I totally remember.

You used to work in a shoe shop

in Oxford Street?

- Yeah, that was a long time ago

when I was a student.

- You sold me a great pair of loafers.

- I have loafers.

- So my neighbor's a famous actress.

Do you have time to date with your career?

- Well, it's hard.

Most people just want to date me

because I'm in TV and filming.

- Oh, sorry.

It's my agent.

Hi Jonathan.

Yeah, I thought I'd be hearing from you.

Yeah.

What?

With Walter Blackmore?

Yeah.

What?

Tomorrow?

Why so soon?

No, no, no, it's not a problem.

Not a problem.

Alright.

Brilliant.

Get them to bike the script over for me.

Super.

Good to hear from you.

Thanks Jonathan, bye!

This is amazing.

I could be working with Walter Blackmore.

You know who he is right?

- Yep.

Do you get recognized much?

- Well, literally yesterday this guy

stopped me on the street.

He said, hey you're Alice Richardson,

can I have your number?

And I said, Darling, to me you

are just a number.

Do you get it?

- Yeah.

- And then he said, can

I give you my number?

I said, what for, just

in case I need a plumber?

- Oh, he was a plumber.

- No, silly.

- I'm gonna watch all your movies, Alice.

- All of them?

- Yep.

- You're so sweet.

- I'm gonna be your biggest fan.

You're wonderful Alice.

You're beautiful,

so funny and talented.

I really enjoy this.

- I'm just going to powder my nose.

- Cut.

We're gonna go again.

- Tom, I just wanted to say

I am so excited to be here.

And I think you have done

a really great job putting me with Walter.

- It's good to have you here.

Michelle Jones was going

to play the part,

but we found out she was pregnant

at the last minute.

- Oh.

- Yeah, so we are really

happy you were free.

Can you jump in first again?

First positions.

Sound, camera, and action.

- May I sit here?

- Yes.

- Hi, I'm Dick.

- Nina.

- Do you come here often?

- No.

- Me neither so we've

got a lot in common then.

- Welcome everyone.

Today I am going to talk

about identification.

All suffering comes from identification.

I was just reading in the newspaper that

the Chelsea hooligans rioted

after Chelsea lost the cup final.

So you can see that if you identify with

your team and they lose,

you will feel the pain.

- Yeah, but Chelsea fans are cowards.

- But I was just talking about

identification in general.

- Then why'd you bring up Chelsea?

- Because I just read it in the paper,

and it seemed like a good example.

Okay, which club do you support?

- West Ham.

- You're used to losing a lot then.

- What?

- Okay, you don't need

to take it personally.

- This is personal.

- Hey, just relax.

- Hey, we're talking

about enlightenment here.

- We're all just one, aren't we?

It's just all about finding

out who you really are.

You see, it's so simple.

If I just cut of both your arms
