Who Is Alice? Page #7

So that's why they dropped me

from Blackmore Agency.

- Wow.

- So, what happened to

your psycho neighbor.

- Martin.

Oh, his parents came

back from their cruise

and moved to Scotland.

So he had to find his own place to live.

At least I haven't' got

somebody watching me 24/7.

- What a shame.

- I am writing a script.

I haven't finished it yet.

But would you read it for me?

- Yes sure, I'd love too.

- Great.

I will get you another

coffee on the house.

- Hi Alice.

- Martin.

- I am just collecting

the mail for my parents.

The new owners keep it for us,

and I pick it up.

So how are you?

- Yeah, good.

- Me too.

I'm not having as many

epileptic fits anymore.

- So how is Anna?

- She's good.

She's coming to stay at the weekend.

- Oh, well say hello from me.

- I will.

Bye Martin.

- I miss you Alice.

You really hurt me.

- Martin, I was never looking

for a relationship with you.

You're a really nice guy,

I just wasn't looking for romance.

- You are so special to me.

To Walter you are just a number.

- Martin just let it be.

- In fact, you were number 52.

- What do you mean 52?

- He recorded all his girlfriends.

- Recorded?

Like what?

- Like when you press record

and you record something.

For example, in the bedroom.

Sex tapes Alice.

- He recorded all of his girlfriends?

- Yep, 52 women!

Well, 51, one turned out to be a guy.

He didn't realize, but he found out.

- And how do you know this?

- I made a copy of his harddrive.

- And where is that copy?

- At my place.

- Oh Martin, you are my savior.

Did you see any pictures of me?

- I didn't look at them.

I'm not keen on swimming pools anyway.

- Martin, what I want

you to do is to go home,

get the tape and very

carefully bring it to me.

Okay?

- Okay, so, it's a date.

- Just go and get it.

Go on then.

- John, Walter.

I know we haven't seen

each other for a while,

but I thought it would be nice

to have a little chat.

The last time I was here you asked me

to return my six percent stocks.

And you gave me absolutely

nothing in return.

Now I'm here to kindly

ask you to give them back.

- And what makes you

think we would do that?

- 52 sex tapes recorded in secret

by Walter of 52 different women.

Oh, no sorry, 51.

One of them turned out to be a he.

- So what?

- Now seeing as I have

absolutely no interest

in owning a share in your company

I will settle for the

return of my 54,000.

Do we have a deal?

- Do it dad.

- You get your money.

You utter moron.

- Hey, someone once said,

men use power to get sex

and women use sex to get power.

Funny, isn't it?

It really works.

- So John, still proud of your Dick?

- Just get out of here.

- Hi Bridget.

- Hi.

- How are things?

- Good, a lot of work.

Mostly features.

- Wow, nice.

- And I've been nominated twice.

For Distant places?

Have you seen it?

- No, sorry.

- It's with Gerard Mans.

We're dating.

I didn't see you on

the list of nominees this year.

- No, I've had a little change of career.

- So what do you do?

- I'm a waitress in the Red Lion.

- Wow, I see you're really

planning your career.

- Oh yeah, I'm planning it.

I'm just planning it downhill.

- Have you heard of John Lennon?

- Is he an actor?

- No, he was in a band.

And he once said life is what

happens when you're

busy making other plans.

- Okay, and I suppose he thought

that philosophy would make him a career?

- I think he was pointing at

the idea that whatever happens

in life really is all out of our hands.

- Especially if you end up as a waitress.

- Let's just leave it.

- It's good to see you too.

Cally?

- Hi Alice, have a seat.

- What exactly am I auditioning for?

I'm sorry I didn't get a script.

- We want to talk about your script.

- My script?

- Yes, Who is Alice.

We love it.

It's powerful, dynamic,

and the narrative is fantastic.

It's really written well.

- Thank you.

But I still haven't finished the ending.

- No, I love the ending.

- How exactly does it end?

- After you thank the director

for offering you the role

to play Alice,

you go home singing out loud.

- Mark?

- Hi Alice.

- What brings you here?

- After the verdict,

they congratulated me on winning.

But to be honest, I feel I lost.

- What?

You got the house, you've got Anna.

You want more?

- Yeah, I want you.

- That is so cheesy.

- What?

- That is such a cheesy ending.

I would never write that.

- I think it's good that you

and Mark get back together in the end.

- You think I'd go back to him just

because he says I want you?

No, he should at least

go down on one knee.

- Alice, you mean the world to me.

I've never met a more beautiful,

talented, spontaneous,

humorous, intelligent, sexy lady than you.

You know you're really amazing,

and besides the fact that you're an

award winning actress,

you know you could be

and should be a supermodel.

- Sorry, don't you think that is

a bit over the top?

- Just kidding.

- Kidding about what?

- Oh, I was just explaining to Tom

and Cally that an ending

like this would never happen.

It's so cheesy.

I mean, think about it.

Throughout the film we have argued,

we filed lawsuits,

for the last part of the movie

we hardly saw each other

and now you've come back

to make up to me so we

can have a happy ending.

It makes no sense!

- People love happy endings.

- I know that everybody loves

the clich Hollywood stuff,

but real life doesn't work like that.

And in a movie a character has

to go through a change.

- You did go through a change.

You had your ego crushed,

you became more humble, more open.

Bust most importantly,

it all happened in your imagination.

- This feels so good Nina.

- I love you, I don't

want to move to London.

I want to be here with you and Anna.

I love you.

- I love you.

- I need to go see Anna.

- This is pure love.

It's so beautiful that

they connected again.

Because that is our true nature.

Love.

- Do you think Martin put

those naked picture online?

- It's a movie Leo, there

are no naked pictures.

- Hey, you sleeping?

- Oh, is it over?

Did I miss it?

Did she win the award?

- She won the award and

they got back together.

- Who did?

- Oh hello mate,

Alice and Mark.

- What?

She left him and then in

the end they get back together again.

What is the whole point of this film?

- It's about waking up

from this dream that we live in.

What we create in our thoughts,

that's not reality.

- No, that's not the message.

What they showed is that you have

to look out for women,

because they use sex to get power.

- Well, then they never try that on you,

do they Leo?

- Don't you get that message?

- You should never eat

another woman's cake?

- No.

- Oh, you should always flip a coin

when you've got a

difficult decision to make?

- No, the coin is just there

for you to be able to

understand your heart.

You don't get that?

- No I don't, but isn't that exactly

how it's supposed to be?

- So you do understand it!
