VOICE ON TELEVISIONTo be or not to be... BRIDGET What's this? NICK Hamlet - a tragedy. ANNIE What's it about? NICK Love. Madness. And murder. Hamlet's father, the king, is killed by Hamlet's uncle, who then marries Hamlet's mother, so Hamlet kills his uncle and his mother and then he dies. BRIDGET That sounds like my family. NICK It's a masterpiece. I'd be great as Hamlet. BRIDGET Oh! My tights! NICK Oh, Bridget, I had an accident. BRIDGET Buy me another pair or you will have an accident! ANNIE Accident or murder?! NICK OK, Bridget. BRIDGET Right, I'm off. ANNIE Me too. HECTOR Goodnight, sugar-plum. ANNIE Night, snuggly-puppykins. HECTOR Oh, Nick, I am worried. NICK Hector, I know what you mean. When women talk like that, it is time to move on. HECTOR No, not Annie. This television reporter's job. I don't really think I can do it. NICK Hector, of course you can. What you need is... HECTOR Talent? NICK No! You don't need talent. You need Nick's School for Television Reporters. HECTOR Nick's School for Television Reporters? NICK Yeah! I will teach you to be a television reporter. HECTOR OK! NICK OK. Rule number one: imagine you are talking to a beautiful woman. "Good evening, this is Nick Jessop, reporting from the Houses of Parliament just for you." Rule number two: be mysterious. "I am here to tell you the Houses of Parliament may look normal, but all is not as it seems." Rule number three: make them trust you. "I can reveal that this building is actually an alien space station. Trust me. Trust Nick Jessop. I will always tell you the truth. See you later. Goodnight and sleep tight." Do it like that, Hector, and you will get the job. HECTOR "Hi, this is Hector Romero." BRIDGET [Composing email] ‘Chrissy, we need a new TV reporter at Channel Nine and I think Hector will be perfect.’ HECTOR Well, if you think so. BRIDGET [Composing email] ‘Of course, I will train him. My new boss will be very impressed.’ HECTOR OK, Bridget. BRIDGET [Composing email] ‘And this morning, I found Nick wearing my Versace tights.’ NICK Oh, these tights! BRIDGET [Composing email] He's a strange boy. NICK [Composing email] ‘Guess what, Dan! I've discovered Shakespeare. "To die, to sleep ..." I love it! And I taught Hector how to be a television reporter.
NICK Nick’s School for Television Reporters! NICK [Composing email] I'm sure he'll get the job! BRIDGET Did you get my fax? Well, did you get my email? What did Sting say? Will he do the interview? You won't even ask him? He's never heard of Channel Nine? Oh, please. Please! Please! Well can I meet him? I can? Where is he? At the airport? I'll be there. Yes! Sound of knocking on door WOMAN Hector Romero for you, Bridget. BRIDGET No. Hector, I forgot your audition. Listen, I must go out for one hour. Sting wants to see me! Don't worry. Just remember everything I've told you. Here's the script, there's the camera. Must dash! Be back in an hour! HECTOR But.., I... "Hello, this is Hector Romero for Channel Nine." BRIDGET What a day! First Sting had already departed for New York and now this! This! From you, Hector! HECTOR Sorry, Bridget. BRIDGET Was this Nick's idea? HECTOR Erm... BRIDGET I thought so. HECTOR So, have I got the job? BRIDGET What do you think? Goodbye, Hector. And the new editor will be here soon. Right! Nick! Date: 2015-12-24; view: 779
