Sound of mobile phone ringing

NICK [reading text message]

"Nick., I am too angry to speak. Bridget."

Sound of mobile phone ringing

NICK

Huh!

Hi, Bridget!

BRIDGET

Nick.

NICK

I thought you were too angry to speak to me.

BRIDGET

Shut up, Nick. How dare you.

NICK

How dare I what?

BRIDGET

Teach Hector to be a news reporter!

NICK

Ah, ahm, sorry, Bridget.

BRIDGET

He was ridiculous. "Hi, sexy, this is Hector Romero." My new editor will be here soon and I wanted to impress her.

NICK

So will Hector get the job then?

BRIDGET

Of course he won't get the job. You made me look a fool. You.., you and Hector are so stupid!

ANNIE

Who was that?

NICK

Wrong number.

ANNIE

Hey, Nick, look at this. This could be perfect for you.

NICK

What is it?

ANNIE [Reading advert]

"Is Shakespeare in your blood? Could you be our Hamlet?"

NICK

Yeah!

ANNIE

"Do you love performing?"

NICK

Yeah!

ANNIE

"Do you love travelling?"

NICK

Yeah!

ANNIE

"Do people adore you?"

NICK

Naturally!

ANNIE

"Then we need you. Call this number for a Shakespearean experience."

NICK

Wow! Hamlet! My dream!

I'll call now. I must learn my lines. "To be... to be..."

ANNIE

"Or not to be?"

BRIDGET

Aagh!!!

EUNICE MOUNTAIN



Hello, Bridget.

BRIDGET

Eunice, what are you doing here?

EUNICE MOUNTAIN



Long time no see, Bridget. And how's Nick? Does he miss me?

BRIDGET

No. Er, yes.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN



Oh! You have a new hairstyle.

BRIDGET

Yeah. So have you.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN



Yes, but the difference is, mine looks good.

BRIDGET

Yes.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN



Anyway, Bridget, I am your new editor.

Surprised?

BRIDGET

No, no, no.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN



Good. OK.

Two rules. One: I am your editor and I am always right. Two: you are the researcher, you are always wrong.

OK?

BRIDGET

OK.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN



OK.

Now what have you got for me today?

BRIDGET

Well, Sting would love to come for an interview, but...

EUNICE MOUNTAIN



… But he's not coming.

BRIDGET

No.

But we need a new reporter and... and... and I have found you the most perfect person.

He's Latin American, speaks English and he's very sexy. Watch this. I know you'll love him.

HECTOR

"Hi, sexy. This is Hector Romero for Channel Nine. Wow, you look beautiful today.

Guess what? There's been a diamond robbery in London.

I would love to put diamonds on those pretty ears. But you, yes, you can sleep safely in your bed tonight.

This is Hector Romero. I'll be back."

BRIDGET

Well?

EUNICE MOUNTAIN



Of course! Hector!

Oh, he is perfect!

BRIDGET [Composing email]

‘What a day! Hector's audition was a disaster.’

HECTOR

"Hello, this is Hector Romero for Channel Nine."

BRIDGET

‘Guess who interfered? Nick!’

BRIDGET

Right, Nick!

BRIDGET [Composing email]

‘And worse still, guess who is my new boss?

Eunice Mountain!’

EUNICE MOUNTAIN



I am your new editor.

BRIDGET [Composing email]

‘But the good news is, she loved Hector.’

EUNICE MOUNTAIN



Oh, he is perfect!

ANNIE [Composing email]

‘We’ve found a perfect role for Nick. Hamlet, by William Shakespeare.’

NICK

My dream!

ANNIE [Composing email]

‘He's very excited!’

ANNIE

Oh, don't worry, Hector, my little puppykins. I'm sure you would have been a very good reporter.

HECTOR

But Bridget is angry with me.

ANNIE

Huh! Don't worry about Bridget.

NICK

Guess what? I've got the job.

ANNIE

Hamlet?

HECTOR

Shakespeare? Congratulations, man!

ANNIE

Oh, great! When do you start?

NICK

Tonight. I've got the costume already. I think I will go and wash my motorbike.

HECTOR

You haven't got a motorbike.

NICK

I have now.

BRIDGET

Hi, everyone!

Hector, you have a visitor - my new editor! Eunice, do you remember Hector?

EUNICE MOUNTAIN



Hmm.

How could I forget? And of course Nick! I could never forget you!

BRIDGET

I thought you had a motorbike to wash?

NICK

Thank you.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN



Hector, I just popped in to say congratulations. You've got the job! Isn't it wonderful?

BRIDGET

Eunice really liked your tape.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN



Oh, you are perfect, Hector.

BRIDGET

Hector will have such fun.

EUNICE MOUNTAIN



I'm off. Oh, see you at 8 o'clock sharp tomorrow morning, Hector. Hmm! Oh, hmm!

BRIDGET

There's no need to thank me, Hector.

ANNIE

Oh, I think I’ve got something in my eye.

Well, it was nice while it lasted, but now, Annie, it is time to say goodbye to Hector.

He is going to be a famous news reporter, so there'll be no room for little old you.

HECTOR

It's OK, Annie.

Whatever happens, we will always be together.

ANNIE

But you'll forget me when you're a famous news reporter.

HECTOR

However many stories I report - murders, bank robberies, small cats in trees - I shall never forget you. You, light of my life. "This is Hector Romero for Channel Nine, London."

ANNIE

Oh, Hector!

HECTOR

Oh, Annie!

BRIDGET

Oh no.

Nick?

NICK

Yes?

No! Ohh...

"To eat or not to eat. That is the question." Hamlet's burgers - eat them without question.

Sound of laughter

COMMENTARY [v.o.]

Next time in EXTRA, Annie wants to save the animals, Bridget has a date with Leonardo di Caprio, and what is in Nick's box?

EXTRA, don't miss it.

NICK

That's nice.
