Erwin - the next generation? The future? I dunno...same old shit probably..I'll hang it in bars and clubs..hit on waitresses...look out for the guys who've worked out

Bernard - ha ha you're kidding..

Erwin - kidding? - why would I

Bernard (interrupting) - british actors don't feature highly in your work Erwin - is there a reason for that - i'd have thought the English villain would be staple..

Erwin - ah yes, so you'd have thought, but can I get one?

Bernard - yes British actors? tricky..I wonder if anyone on the panel has any ideas?

Kevin - We could try it here. Yes. Ricardo - you be the villain...and cordelia...you can be the heroine - just to try it out? Why not?

Bernard - yes why not? Erwin - oh and Daisy - maybe we could talk about the secrets of casting afterwards..

Erwin and Daisy..sure.

(while they've been chatting - cordelia and ricardo have set themselves up with scripts)

R- Ha. You can’t stop me. The canister. Eeeze here in my mocodile skin briefcase, in-fidel!

C – My god. If you release it. You’ll kill all those people. (referring to audience)

R- Ha Ha Ha Ha (beat) Ha. I don’t care. Look at them. Puny. Insignificant. Pointless. They’d be better off dead – this guy is soooo mean no? -. I know about death. I have no fear of mass murder. My middle name is Mascara!

K- HANG ON (sotto) Let me look. Massacre. Ricardo. My middle name is Massacre.

R - sorry. My middle name is Massacre..

Cordelia - I don't care who you say you are, I'm federal Agent Bamber Chaseworthy,and if you don't drop the suitcase in the next 15 seconds you'll be spending the rest of your life sucking porridge through a straw.

Bernard so?

Daisy- Interesting. I can't help thinking it diddn't quite work. Daisy honey. Oh my honey, you delivered that like you were at sunday school poppet. Lemeeshow you how a pro does it..

Cordelia - you're not going to get your tits out are you?

Daisy - honey. you have so much to learn..

Cordelia. Learn! don't talk to me about learning. I studied the CLASSICS, at Oxford college of further education. My interpretation of Chekhov is still talked about.

Daisy - Checkhov! What a douchebag!! I mean yawn..when I did Vanya..

Cordelia - You've done Checkhov..?

Daisy - who hasn't?...god.....let's see if I remember any of it..?

(long beat in preperation)

What can we do? We must live out our lives. [A pause] Yes, we shall live, Uncle Vanya. We shall live all through the endless procession of days ahead of us, and we shall bear patiently the burdens that fate imposes, We shall work without rest for others because we have known suffering and tears, that our life was bitter. And God will pity us -

(beat)

Oh thinking back...such happy days..

Ricardo - (sobbing) Sooo Beautiful.

Erwin- And moving. Got me here babe. (taps his heart)Like the end of Terminator 2.

Kevin - Daisy you're really something..

Bernard - finally some culture

Bollo wipes his eyes

Cordelia - it was OK.

Daisy - ok?

Cordelia - ok. it was very good.

Daisy - I used to be like you Cordelia. A real actress. Off Broadway. - till I got the big stick out of my ass..

All laugh..

Kevin - Oh don;t be cross cordy, Daisy has a point. You could do with a little more va va voom. You know?

Cordelia - Va Va Voom? If you want me to just degrade myself in front of these people as some adolescent sexual fantasy woman then just say so.

Kevin - If you could try. For me?

Bernard - Va Va Voom? Erwin - how important is that to casting? What did you make of our stars?
