Who Is Alice? Page #4

- Between vodka and tequila?

- I have a meeting in half

an hour about changing agents.

- Why don't you just flip a coin?

- Flip a coin?

- Flip a coin.

- Is that how you ended up running

a pub instead of a pizzeria?

- Absolutely.

That's how I ended up serving alcohol

to desperate people like you at 11 AM.

Heads or tails?

- I'm not flipping a coin

to make this decision.

- Heads is your current agency.

Tail is the new agency.

Tell me their names?

- I'm with Jonathan Howard associates.

The other is Blackmore agency.

- Okay, head is Howard, tail is Blackmore.

- Which side of the coin

do you hope it's gonna be?

I know you have a preference.

It's not the coin,

it's your heart that gave you the answer.

- Alice, Walter's told me that you want

to invest in our agency.

- Invest?

I heard that you were

looking to represent me

and that there might be a

movie that I'd be right for.

- Of course, that's a given.

But let's talk about the investment.

How much can you invest?

- Invest?

No I was just interested

in changing agents.

- You don't have any savings?

- Well, of course I do.

- We can offer six percent of the stock.

Our expected interest on investment

is over 17% on a yearly basis.

- 17% that's really good.

But what about my role in the new movie.

- Think bigger Alice.

As an investor in our

agency we will ensure

that you get first choice

of auditions leading you

to all the main roles.

So six percent is 54,000.

Is that a problem?

- Well, that's nearly all my savings.

- You don't believe in your own talent?

- Of course I do.

I'm nominated.

I'm going to have to

speak to Jonathan first.

- Oh come on Alice.

Jonathan has never

allowed you the confidence

that your talent deserves.

This should be an absolute yes.

I believe in myself,

I believe in my success.

But most importantly,

I believe in you Alice.

Blackmore agencies will get you there.

I will get you there.

- Sorry.

- No, now is not the right time Martin.

I'm going to the movie awards

and I need to leave in 20 minutes.

- Can you please accept these flowers?

- Just to be clear.

There is nothing between us okay?

Let's just say hi as neighbors, that's it.

- Hi.

- Not now.

- Are you joking?

- Hi mummy!

- Hi sweetie!

- Wow Alice, you look gorgeous, gorgeous.

Killer dress for the awards.

Nervous?

- Yeah, yeah, a little bit.

- Come on in sweetie,

go to your room.

- Please tell the babysitter she

has been a little bit ill this week.

A bit of a tummy problem.

- Yes I will tell her.

- The doctor is saying

divorce causes stress.

- Okay.

- Monday at seven.

- Yeah.

- By the way, good luck tonight.

- Thanks, Mark.

- Sh*t.

Martin.

- Alice.

- Thank you for the flowers.

I really love them.

And I am sorry for all the horrible things

I've said to you.

I really like you.

But just as a friend, okay.

- Yeah, just as a friend.

- We're neighbors and it's always nice

to be friends with neighbors.

- Yeah.

- And as neighbors we help

each other out, right?

- Yeah.

- Oh, you're so sweet.

As you know, I'm going to

an awards ceremony tonight.

I'm up for best actress.

It's massive.

And I really need to be there.

- You want me to come?

- No.

- I've actually got a little black jacket.

I bought it for my nan's funeral.

- Martin, Martin,

could you look after Anna for me tonight?

- Yeah, of course, it would be an honor.

- Thank you.

You are really helping me out.

You can watch TV,

fall asleep on my couch

until I get back okay?

- Okay, yeah, I'll do that.

- Thank you Martin.

- I almost lost you.

I'm so glad we have

found each other again.

I need you in my life.

- You know I'm nominated

for best actress right?

- Yes.

- Well, tonight they are

announcing who is winning

the award and they really

want me to be there.

So I want you to be a big girl.

You can stay up and watch

cartoons until eight o clock,

but then you have to put

yourself to bed okay?

- 8:
30?

- No answering the door okay?

Promise?

- Alice, Walter, what an

exciting evening for us all.

One nomination for you and two for Walter.

- I'm so proud of my Dick.

But his name is Walter.

- Cally.

- How are you feeling?

- A little bit nervous.

- You'll be fine.

- I don't understand why you're

not nominated you know.

You are such a good actress.

- Well thank you.

- So there is a guy with

a dog in a pub right,

watching footie on the TV.

Aston Villa getting beating three nil

and when the final whistle goes,

the dog lies on his back

with his feet up in the air playing dead.

The bartender goes,

what does he do when they win?

The guy goes, I have no idea,

I've only had the dog for eight months.

- Walter says I need to treat my career

more like a football player.

- Oh, what like earn money

without using your brains?

Cheers.

- Well he says you have your career

until somewhere in your thirties

and then go into coaching or training.

- So I'm not interrupting any conversation

of any value whatsoever I assume?

- Well actually I was

just telling Cally about

the comparison you made between

footballers and actresses.

- Yes, that's true.

Men are rather more like fine wine,

they get better with age.

Whereas women are rather more

like milk aren't they?

- You're right about men being like wine.

Too much of their crap

will give you a headache.

- Do not let Walter put you down.

- Oh no, I know Walter pretty well.

- Last year they asked me

to announce best actress

and this year they've asked me again.

I guess they know I'm good with women.

- Sarah Lin won last year

and ever since we have

seen her everywhere.

Literally.

You know the nude pictures

that were leaked online?

And the award for best actress,

is it Katherine Height?

No, no, sit down.

The award for best actress

goes to Alice Richardson.

- Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You are magnificent.

I want to thank my fabulous directors

Ismael Lotz and Tom Deville

for seeing all of my talent.

Oh and my boyfriend Walter Blackmore,

thank you darling.

Thank you so much, thank you.

Thank you, thank you so much.

Oh, it's good to see you.

- If they would give an award

for the hottest actress,

I wouldn't just give you one,

I'd give you two.

- It's a curse being beautiful.

- Yes I understand.

Look, if there is any way I can help

you through these tough times,

why don't you let me know?

- Thank you.

Please make me your next charity project.

- Bridget.

You might be able to help me actually.

Cause you're too good to be true.

I can't take my eyes off you.

- Walter, darling, the

limousine is waiting.

- What an incredible night.

I'm sorry you didn't win too.

- I already have eleven

of those ugly statues.

- Yeah, I know.

Walter, you know those photos

of me you have by the pool.

Can you delete those please?

It's not that I don't

trust you or anything,

I just don't want them to end up

on the internet you know.

I don't want to be the next
