Doll & Em (2013–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Episode #2.1 - full transcript
To Emily, our modern-day Joan
of Arc. What does an assistant do?
Do I make you coffee or tea?
Tell them to make it frothy.
You're Emily's assistant, right?
I'm her best friend, here to help
her while she does this film.
But she's paying you, right?
You are the best friend
that anyone could ever have.
That's what a good assistant
would say.
Make-up, can we get
the tear stick? No, I don't need it.
I can do it on my own.
Cut. Perfect. That was amazing,
Dolly. Print that.
They've asked me to fly to England
for a camera test. I'm not joking.
But not Emily? No.
Break a leg, Doll.
You say you are my best friend,
just as long as you're the fancied
one, the successful one.
You've made this entire shoot
all about you.
If you go now, you are walking out
for ever, Doll.
There's no coming back.
Voila. Doll and Em. I didn't think
you worked here any more.
That must be a huge relief to find
absolutely nothing has changed.
I'm sorry I made you my assistant,
not just because
you are the worst assistant ever
but because I lost my best friend.
I should be pinched to death!
I really did love the play, Doll.
It is just what going to
the theatre should be like.
Why don't we do something together,
be in a play together?
We could film by the sea somewhere,
like Virginia Woolf in a lighthouse.
Yeah, my God.
That would be perfect.
It's so cool.
The views are incredible.
I feel like I'm floating.
It's like staying at the top
of the Eiffel Tower or something.
It's an awesome panorama in all
directions. Look down.
It's a real trip.
These stairs are pretty steep
so let's hold on to the rails.
Oh, it's so lovely.
Wow, I've had an idea already.
I'm on a roll.
Doll? Yeah?
Dolly? Help. Excuse me?
Oh, no. Has your vertigo come back
again? Yeah, a little bit.
I forgot it was going to be so
high up. It's not as high as some.
This one's only 197 feet
above sea level.
Shh! Help!
Please don't say that.
Do you want to leave?
I don't know, maybe.
Do the windows open? No.
Are you sure? Absolutely.
So if I was sleepwalking
or something,
I wouldn't be able to crack them
open and feed myself through?
No, it seems like quite
a steady pane.
I reckon even if you took a run-up...
Yeah, no. There's no way.
Well, that's awesome, then.
Brilliant. No, I love it.
Your lighthouse is adorable. Thanks.
Hey, aren't you an actress?
Yes, I am. We both are.
And playwrights now.
Smart, that's real smart. Thank you.
And are you writing parts
for yourselves?
Absolutely. Broadway, here we come.
Real smart.
I'm guessing it's tough to book
a job now that you're older.
I hear the ageing process is
harsh for actresses. Am I right?
Well, welcome, ladies. Thank you.
Just one thing. Yeah?
Don't touch this.
OK, what's it for? The main beam.
It warns oncoming boats.
You weren't tempted to put
a bit of glass over it
with one of those little hammers.
Yeah, on a chain.
Or just put it much higher up.
Glass and chains... You crack me up!
Good luck. Thanks. Bye.
Doll, I'm so glad you
forced me to do this.
Sorry, I didn't mean forced.
I meant... Encouraged.
It's just so cool to finally be
saying something for ourselves.
Oh, don't say finally. Why not?
It makes me sound hopeless.
You're not hopeless,
you're a late bloomer.
It's actually really easy
writing a play.
Why do people make such
a fuss about it? I know.
Do you think we'll get
invited on chat shows?
I'm not sure about chat shows
but if it's good,
we might get invited to talk
at universities or...
you know, late-night panel
discussion forums, salons.
We'll be on the literary circuit,
you know?
Intimate dinners with
other intellectuals.
I feel like we might get asked
to do a TED Talk.
They are definitely going to
ask you to do a TED Talk.
Can you do it, though?
I'd quite like to be mysterious.
Turn the light off, Mrs Mystery.
Oh, oh. Oh! What?
Sorry. Taxi! Taxi!
Oh!
Crazy old dykes!
So you're going to introduce it.
You're going to talk first. Yes.
You look very pretty, by the way.
I was just thinking
the same thing about you.
Your skin looks really clear.
So, yeah, we'll say
how we came up with the idea
and then why we think it works,
as a play.
You're looking very French again.
Really?
Yeah, your hair looks so shiny.
My hair looks like straw.
It looks like
I've sown feathers into it.
I put vinegar in it. Is that
a New York thing? I don't know.
There's so much to learn.
Your hair looks cool.
It looks like you've just had sex.
Does it? Yeah. Really? Yes.
Come on, we've still got it!
Thank you!
Look at that.
I love you. I love you.
We're on Broadway! Come on.
I can't believe they're seeing us.
That's what it's like in America.
People take a chance on you, Doll.
And then Em came to see me
in my play and she gave me
this enormous T-shirt to say sorry
and so how it started was,
I was her assistant
and I was hopeless.
And we thought that maybe the play
was going to be about that,
didn't we? But then it turned into
so much more because we are both...
We both have siblings
of uncertain parentage.
Long-lost siblings, really.
And so much more.
Our dads are friends
and we are very similar.
We get a kick out
of the same things.
Just lots of funny things
we both just get.
It's like, these tiny moments that
we don't feel other people see. Mm.
Like, there was this amazing moment
with this man in a restaurant
with a fly resting on his finger.
It was just such a tiny thing
but it opened up so much for us.
He was just sitting there
reading the newspaper,
acting like it was the most normal
thing in the world but clearly,
he was getting such pleasure.
They were both getting
a total kick out of it.
The fly just made him look good.
It defined the man somehow.
And when the fly jumped off his
finger, he just stared at his empty
finger for a second and shrugged,
in a brave, accepting sort of way.
Yeah, it was like Camus,
sort of "Off you go!"
So what's the name of this play?
It's called Joanne's Gift.
Two words that we liked
together for now.
I suppose it's a metaphor for...
The metaphor is for...
It's a metaphor for, um...
Kind of...
..for women at this time. Yeah.
And you never see Joanne.
Of course not.
But you do see
the long-lost siblings.
Would you like us to read
a scene from the play?
Maybe we should do that. Yeah.
Get the script out.
I don't have it. Do you?
No. I mean...
I don't know, maybe we can...
The only bit I can remember,
you've already said - the fly.
Sorry. You start and I'll just...
Well, I suppose
if he's not interested...
Can we just not talk for a bit?
Sure.
Smells delicious, Em.
God, I hope you like it.
I know I'm going to.
I'm sure it's going to be great.
What are we going to do?
I don't know.
Something will come up. I promise.
We're going to make sure
it does, OK?
Do you have everything you need
downstairs, Doll?
Yes, thank you so much.
I know that room's normally
for an au pair
so if I can help in any way with
the kids, just let me know.
Thanks, Doll. And, of course,
I'll buy all my own food and
everything. That's sweet of you.
Don't be ridiculous. You don't have
to worry about food, Doll.
One extra mouth to feed isn't
going to make any difference.
What about your flat and the cats?
I've sub-let it to this friend
who's going to look after the cats.
Then, you know, if
the play takes off or whatever,
I'll just cancel the contract
with the landlord.
What if the play doesn't happen?
It's definitely going to happen.
Oh, cats. I miss my little cats.
Aw!
Give us a drag. What are you doing?
So the kids won't smell it on me.
Does Noah do that? Um-hm.
But can't they smell it on his beard?
He wears one of those
surgical masks.
Thank you.
Family life is so intense.
Oh, help. That was quite strong.
We laugh a lot, though.
Me and the kids were in stitches
when he said he was never going
to cut his beard.
Was he being serious?
Yes, I think so.
I'm so sorry.
No, no, it's fine.
But he can take a joke, though,
can he? Yeah, course.
Would he think this was funny?
God, yeah. Hilarious.
A frozen soccer shoe. Yeah, go on.
Wait!
Oh!
Are you going to get that? Yeah!
Oh, God, now I've got
to answer the door!
Do you want me to answer it?
Yes, please.
Oh!
Thank you.
Em. I'm here.
Felt like I was going to pull
a whitey for a second!
What's Space Pilgrim?
Oh, it's this...
It's this really big budget
sci-fi film.
The soundtrack's going
to be actual space sounds.
Wow. I know.
It's a first-time director.
He used to be a chef. He's Belgian.
Oh, God. Does it sound terrible?
Hang on. First-time director? Yeah.
So why do we need Harvey Weinstein
to find us a director?
We can be first-time directors. Yeah.
We'd have to do some ring binders,
one each,
and the Thermoses, you know,
with the lids.
We don't need two ring binders.
That's extravagant.
You just have one,
then you'd be directing
and the other one would be drinking
and you take turns.
It would be really easy. Yeah!
If they're letting this Belgian dude
direct a $16 million film,
then why can't we direct
our own play?
I know. That's what I'm saying.
All we need is a producer
who's really into us
who can find us a theatre.
Dolly...
Yes! Yes!
Oh, I can't take his
black V-neck T-shirts.
I love it. I love the idea!
How much has Em told you about it?
Very little, but I do.
I love the idea.
I think it's amazing
that you two are back together
again, working together as equals.
It's awesome. Come on!
Who's going to be able
to resist you?
Harvey Weinstein found it
remarkably easy to resist us.
What's Harvey Weinstein ever done?
Wow! So classy!
So quiet!
I like the colour of the seats.
Go on, say something.
OK. On stage. All right.
Er...
Um...
I will wash your heart
as clean as a sound sheep's liver
that there will be not
one spot of blood in it.
I would not be cured, youth.
Ooh! A-levels!
Not just a pretty face.
Wither hast thou cometh
from, my liege?
I travelled o'er hill and o'er valley
to tell you the chickens are dead.
Quite, quite dead? All the chickens?
All my pretty chickens.
Ladies and your chickens,
this is the artistic director of
this theatre. Hello, ladies. Hello.
Dolly. This is Dolly. Dolly, nice to
meet you. Baryshnikov. How are you?
Emily. Wow! Hi! Nice meeting you.
Nice to meet you.
Well, my godson's crazy
about your work.
It's true. Crazy.
I hope this time he's right.
So do we!
Yeah, well, what do you think?
It's breathtaking. It's beautiful.
Well, it's all yours. That's...
Wow! Don't expect Christmas present
from me this year.
Definitely not!
Spasibo. Spasibo vam...
Ah, govoritye po-Russkii?
Da, ya govoryu nemnozhka po-Russkii.
A, horosho! Gde uchilas?
Ya uchilas v Oxfordye,
v universitete. Oxfordye! Da.
Da, i potom v Moskve. Moskve!
Da. Oxford, Moskva, New York! Da!
Vi horosho govoritye. Da? Nu, nyet.
Ya zabila. Ya vse zabila.
Nyet, u vas xoroshii aktsent.
Spasibo!
Em! Do you know where my shoe is?
No, I don't feel tired at all.
God, we've had such an amazing day.
New York is so exciting, Mum.
Guess who I just met.
Clint Eastwood? No.
Dustin Hoffman? No!
I just met Mikhail Baryshnikov!
Oh, wonderful. I know.
He's putting on our play
at his theatre.
It's a theatre for original material.
It's very sweet of Em to give you
something to do out there.
Is it costing her a lot of money?
Isn't she busy with her films?
Mum, Em's not paying for it.
Baryshnikov really like the idea.
It was really exciting meeting him.
It made us feel like
proper playwrights
and it made coming all the way here
make sense.
The best thing about you leaving
was how well I'm getting on with
your sister. NOAH: Where is it?
She's really blossoming
since you went to America.
I only just got here, Mum.
Don't be silly. You never saw
the point of children, did you?
I wasn't even talking about children.
Anyway, I've got to go. I'll ring you
back later. I love you.
I'm so over this! Bye.
If I'm late, they're not
going to use me!
Fucking jinxed.
Where the hell is it?
I just can't believe this!
Fucking put them there.
I have a fucking place for it!
Em! April! Do you know
where my shoe is?
It's the only time I get to play
and I can't find it!
I mean, what the hell!
Night, my boy.
I can't believe it! Night.
If Daddy asks about his soccer shoe,
could you just say
you were in a silly mood
and put it in the freezer?
What?
Could you tell Dad you put
his soccer shoe in the freezer?
Mum, are you sleep talking? No!
I would never put
a soccer shoe in the freezer.
That would be disgusting.
No, of course you wouldn't, but
could you just tell him you did?
You can watch cartoons
before school.
How many episodes? Three.
That's not fair! Shush! Shush!
Guys, shush!
OK, the main thing is
I just wanted to tuck you both in
and tell you how much
I love you, OK?
You rock my world, both you guys.
I love you so much.
Sleep tight. I love you, guys.
Mum, stop being so insecure.
I'm not! Just telling you how
I feel! Yeah, so we say it back.
That is not fair.
Just go to bed.
OK, God!
Do you love me, April? Mum!
Why is my shoe in the freezer?
Aw!
..working with Dolly, you guys.
It's just...
Getting to write with her is...
And, then, you know, having
the opportunity to perform it all
at the end of it's just...
I mean, it's terrifying
but it's a dream come true
in my life.
Yeah, I did. I read Space Pilgrim.
Yeah, I thought it was kind of
interesting. Don't worry about it.
I never get the part in those kind
of films. You know that.
What? He's asked for me?
Really?
Wow.
Yeah, but that wouldn't work
with the play, with the dates.
I wouldn't be able to be in the play
if I got that.
No, no, I know that.
No, of course, I get it. No.
I know. No. It would be huge.
I'm so grateful, you guys.
That's awesome.
Yes, I would be really excited
about it.
Our play is going to rock New York.
I feel ready good about this.
Yeah, I feel really good about this.
Why aren't you playing the parts?
I mean, it's our vision.
How hard can directing be anyway?
Quite hard, I'd imagine.
Can you do English accents?
I was doing one. Oh, no. Of course
you were! It was amazing.
American women are more confident
about having what they want.
Loads of my girlfriends here have
had same-sex relationships,
for example. Are they a nightmare?
Oh, my God! I'm so sorry!
I thought you were Em.
How long have you two been together?
Oh, no, we're not together.
But we're so open to that.
No judgment of anything. Yeah.
Shall I get the pudding?
of Arc. What does an assistant do?
Do I make you coffee or tea?
Tell them to make it frothy.
You're Emily's assistant, right?
I'm her best friend, here to help
her while she does this film.
But she's paying you, right?
You are the best friend
that anyone could ever have.
That's what a good assistant
would say.
Make-up, can we get
the tear stick? No, I don't need it.
I can do it on my own.
Cut. Perfect. That was amazing,
Dolly. Print that.
They've asked me to fly to England
for a camera test. I'm not joking.
But not Emily? No.
Break a leg, Doll.
You say you are my best friend,
just as long as you're the fancied
one, the successful one.
You've made this entire shoot
all about you.
If you go now, you are walking out
for ever, Doll.
There's no coming back.
Voila. Doll and Em. I didn't think
you worked here any more.
That must be a huge relief to find
absolutely nothing has changed.
I'm sorry I made you my assistant,
not just because
you are the worst assistant ever
but because I lost my best friend.
I should be pinched to death!
I really did love the play, Doll.
It is just what going to
the theatre should be like.
Why don't we do something together,
be in a play together?
We could film by the sea somewhere,
like Virginia Woolf in a lighthouse.
Yeah, my God.
That would be perfect.
It's so cool.
The views are incredible.
I feel like I'm floating.
It's like staying at the top

Wow, I've had an idea already.

Doll? Yeah?
Dolly? Help. Excuse me?
Oh, no. Has your vertigo come back
again? Yeah, a little bit.
I forgot it was going to be so
high up. It's not as high as some.
This one's only 197 feet
above sea level.
Shh! Help!
Please don't say that.
Do you want to leave?
I don't know, maybe.
Do the windows open? No.
Are you sure? Absolutely.
So if I was sleepwalking
or something,
I wouldn't be able to crack them
open and feed myself through?
No, it seems like quite
a steady pane.
I reckon even if you took a run-up...
Yeah, no. There's no way.
Well, that's awesome, then.
Brilliant. No, I love it.
Your lighthouse is adorable. Thanks.
Hey, aren't you an actress?
Yes, I am. We both are.
And playwrights now.
Smart, that's real smart. Thank you.
And are you writing parts
for yourselves?
Absolutely. Broadway, here we come.
Real smart.
I'm guessing it's tough to book
a job now that you're older.
I hear the ageing process is
harsh for actresses. Am I right?
Well, welcome, ladies. Thank you.
Just one thing. Yeah?
Don't touch this.
OK, what's it for? The main beam.
It warns oncoming boats.
You weren't tempted to put
a bit of glass over it
with one of those little hammers.
Yeah, on a chain.
Or just put it much higher up.
Glass and chains... You crack me up!
Good luck. Thanks. Bye.
Doll, I'm so glad you
forced me to do this.
Sorry, I didn't mean forced.
I meant... Encouraged.
It's just so cool to finally be
saying something for ourselves.
Oh, don't say finally. Why not?
It makes me sound hopeless.
You're not hopeless,
you're a late bloomer.
It's actually really easy
writing a play.
Why do people make such
a fuss about it? I know.
Do you think we'll get
invited on chat shows?
I'm not sure about chat shows
but if it's good,
we might get invited to talk
at universities or...
you know, late-night panel
discussion forums, salons.
We'll be on the literary circuit,
you know?
Intimate dinners with
other intellectuals.
I feel like we might get asked
to do a TED Talk.
They are definitely going to
ask you to do a TED Talk.
Can you do it, though?
I'd quite like to be mysterious.
Turn the light off, Mrs Mystery.
Oh, oh. Oh! What?
Sorry. Taxi! Taxi!
Oh!
Crazy old dykes!
So you're going to introduce it.
You're going to talk first. Yes.
You look very pretty, by the way.
I was just thinking

So, yeah, we'll say

Really?
Yeah, your hair looks so shiny.
My hair looks like straw.
It looks like
I've sown feathers into it.
I put vinegar in it. Is that
a New York thing? I don't know.
There's so much to learn.
Your hair looks cool.
It looks like you've just had sex.
Does it? Yeah. Really? Yes.
Come on, we've still got it!
Thank you!
Look at that.
I love you. I love you.
We're on Broadway! Come on.
I can't believe they're seeing us.
That's what it's like in America.
People take a chance on you, Doll.
And then Em came to see me
in my play and she gave me
this enormous T-shirt to say sorry
and so how it started was,
I was her assistant
and I was hopeless.
And we thought that maybe the play
was going to be about that,
didn't we? But then it turned into
so much more because we are both...
We both have siblings
of uncertain parentage.
Long-lost siblings, really.
And so much more.
Our dads are friends

Just lots of funny things
we both just get.
It's like, these tiny moments that

Yeah, it was like Camus,
sort of "Off you go!"
So what's the name of this play?
It's called Joanne's Gift.
Two words that we liked
together for now.
I suppose it's a metaphor for...
The metaphor is for...
It's a metaphor for, um...
Kind of...
..for women at this time. Yeah.
And you never see Joanne.
Of course not.
But you do see
the long-lost siblings.
Would you like us to read
a scene from the play?
Maybe we should do that. Yeah.
Get the script out.
I don't have it. Do you?
No. I mean...
I don't know, maybe we can...
The only bit I can remember,
you've already said - the fly.
Sorry. You start and I'll just...
Well, I suppose
if he's not interested...
Can we just not talk for a bit?
Sure.
Smells delicious, Em.
God, I hope you like it.
I know I'm going to.
I'm sure it's going to be great.
What are we going to do?
I don't know.
Something will come up. I promise.
We're going to make sure
it does, OK?
Do you have everything you need
downstairs, Doll?
Yes, thank you so much.
I know that room's normally
for an au pair
so if I can help in any way with
the kids, just let me know.
Thanks, Doll. And, of course,
I'll buy all my own food and
everything. That's sweet of you.
Don't be ridiculous. You don't have
to worry about food, Doll.
One extra mouth to feed isn't
going to make any difference.
What about your flat and the cats?
I've sub-let it to this friend
who's going to look after the cats.
Then, you know, if
the play takes off or whatever,
I'll just cancel the contract
with the landlord.
What if the play doesn't happen?
It's definitely going to happen.
Oh, cats. I miss my little cats.
Aw!
Give us a drag. What are you doing?
So the kids won't smell it on me.
Does Noah do that? Um-hm.
But can't they smell it on his beard?
He wears one of those
surgical masks.
Thank you.
Family life is so intense.
Oh, help. That was quite strong.
We laugh a lot, though.
Me and the kids were in stitches
when he said he was never going
to cut his beard.
Was he being serious?
Yes, I think so.
I'm so sorry.
No, no, it's fine.
But he can take a joke, though,
can he? Yeah, course.
Would he think this was funny?
God, yeah. Hilarious.
A frozen soccer shoe. Yeah, go on.
Wait!
Oh!
Are you going to get that? Yeah!
Oh, God, now I've got
to answer the door!
Do you want me to answer it?
Yes, please.
Oh!
Thank you.
Em. I'm here.
Felt like I was going to pull
a whitey for a second!
What's Space Pilgrim?
Oh, it's this...
It's this really big budget
sci-fi film.
The soundtrack's going
to be actual space sounds.
Wow. I know.
It's a first-time director.
He used to be a chef. He's Belgian.
Oh, God. Does it sound terrible?
Hang on. First-time director? Yeah.
So why do we need Harvey Weinstein
to find us a director?
We can be first-time directors. Yeah.
We'd have to do some ring binders,
one each,
and the Thermoses, you know,
with the lids.
We don't need two ring binders.
That's extravagant.
You just have one,
then you'd be directing
and the other one would be drinking
and you take turns.
It would be really easy. Yeah!
If they're letting this Belgian dude
direct a $16 million film,
then why can't we direct
our own play?
I know. That's what I'm saying.
All we need is a producer
who's really into us
who can find us a theatre.
Dolly...
Yes! Yes!
Oh, I can't take his
black V-neck T-shirts.
I love it. I love the idea!
How much has Em told you about it?
Very little, but I do.
I love the idea.
I think it's amazing
that you two are back together
again, working together as equals.
It's awesome. Come on!
Who's going to be able
to resist you?
Harvey Weinstein found it
remarkably easy to resist us.
What's Harvey Weinstein ever done?
Wow! So classy!
So quiet!
I like the colour of the seats.
Go on, say something.
OK. On stage. All right.
Er...
Um...
I will wash your heart
as clean as a sound sheep's liver
that there will be not
one spot of blood in it.
I would not be cured, youth.
Ooh! A-levels!
Not just a pretty face.
Wither hast thou cometh
from, my liege?
I travelled o'er hill and o'er valley
to tell you the chickens are dead.
Quite, quite dead? All the chickens?
All my pretty chickens.
Ladies and your chickens,
this is the artistic director of
this theatre. Hello, ladies. Hello.
Dolly. This is Dolly. Dolly, nice to
meet you. Baryshnikov. How are you?
Emily. Wow! Hi! Nice meeting you.
Nice to meet you.
Well, my godson's crazy
about your work.
It's true. Crazy.
I hope this time he's right.
So do we!
Yeah, well, what do you think?
It's breathtaking. It's beautiful.
Well, it's all yours. That's...
Wow! Don't expect Christmas present
from me this year.
Definitely not!
Spasibo. Spasibo vam...
Ah, govoritye po-Russkii?
Da, ya govoryu nemnozhka po-Russkii.
A, horosho! Gde uchilas?
Ya uchilas v Oxfordye,
v universitete. Oxfordye! Da.
Da, i potom v Moskve. Moskve!
Da. Oxford, Moskva, New York! Da!
Vi horosho govoritye. Da? Nu, nyet.
Ya zabila. Ya vse zabila.
Nyet, u vas xoroshii aktsent.
Spasibo!
Em! Do you know where my shoe is?
No, I don't feel tired at all.
God, we've had such an amazing day.
New York is so exciting, Mum.
Guess who I just met.
Clint Eastwood? No.
Dustin Hoffman? No!
I just met Mikhail Baryshnikov!
Oh, wonderful. I know.
He's putting on our play
at his theatre.
It's a theatre for original material.
It's very sweet of Em to give you
something to do out there.
Is it costing her a lot of money?
Isn't she busy with her films?
Mum, Em's not paying for it.
Baryshnikov really like the idea.
It was really exciting meeting him.
It made us feel like
proper playwrights
and it made coming all the way here
make sense.
The best thing about you leaving
was how well I'm getting on with
your sister. NOAH: Where is it?
She's really blossoming
since you went to America.
I only just got here, Mum.
Don't be silly. You never saw
the point of children, did you?
I wasn't even talking about children.
Anyway, I've got to go. I'll ring you
back later. I love you.
I'm so over this! Bye.
If I'm late, they're not
going to use me!
Fucking jinxed.
Where the hell is it?
I just can't believe this!
Fucking put them there.
I have a fucking place for it!
Em! April! Do you know
where my shoe is?
It's the only time I get to play
and I can't find it!
I mean, what the hell!
Night, my boy.
I can't believe it! Night.
If Daddy asks about his soccer shoe,
could you just say
you were in a silly mood
and put it in the freezer?
What?
Could you tell Dad you put
his soccer shoe in the freezer?
Mum, are you sleep talking? No!
I would never put
a soccer shoe in the freezer.
That would be disgusting.
No, of course you wouldn't, but
could you just tell him you did?
You can watch cartoons
before school.
How many episodes? Three.
That's not fair! Shush! Shush!
Guys, shush!
OK, the main thing is
I just wanted to tuck you both in
and tell you how much
I love you, OK?
You rock my world, both you guys.
I love you so much.
Sleep tight. I love you, guys.
Mum, stop being so insecure.
I'm not! Just telling you how
I feel! Yeah, so we say it back.
That is not fair.
Just go to bed.
OK, God!
Do you love me, April? Mum!
Why is my shoe in the freezer?
Aw!
..working with Dolly, you guys.
It's just...
Getting to write with her is...
And, then, you know, having
the opportunity to perform it all
at the end of it's just...
I mean, it's terrifying
but it's a dream come true
in my life.
Yeah, I did. I read Space Pilgrim.
Yeah, I thought it was kind of
interesting. Don't worry about it.
I never get the part in those kind
of films. You know that.
What? He's asked for me?
Really?
Wow.
Yeah, but that wouldn't work
with the play, with the dates.
I wouldn't be able to be in the play
if I got that.
No, no, I know that.
No, of course, I get it. No.
I know. No. It would be huge.
I'm so grateful, you guys.
That's awesome.
Yes, I would be really excited
about it.
Our play is going to rock New York.
I feel ready good about this.
Yeah, I feel really good about this.
Why aren't you playing the parts?
I mean, it's our vision.
How hard can directing be anyway?
Quite hard, I'd imagine.
Can you do English accents?
I was doing one. Oh, no. Of course
you were! It was amazing.
American women are more confident
about having what they want.
Loads of my girlfriends here have
had same-sex relationships,
for example. Are they a nightmare?
Oh, my God! I'm so sorry!
I thought you were Em.
How long have you two been together?
Oh, no, we're not together.
But we're so open to that.
No judgment of anything. Yeah.
Shall I get the pudding?
