it's more money.

Who knows, one day you

might even have my job.

(Laughs) God no.

I mean, no, thank you so

much for thinking of me,

but I really shouldn't.

I need to focus all my energy

on my acting career right now.

I really appreciate

the offer, though.

Okay.

Seriously, I totally

get that this is your job

and this is what you wanna

do, but I just don't see

myself doing this kinda work

for the rest of my life.

And you think I did?

You think this is

my dream come true?

When I was a kid, I wanted to

work with animals, be a vet.

But we don't always get

what we want, Polly.

Life can be

disappointing.

Can I go now?

Yeah.

Can I have a Choc-top?

No.

(sighs)

Jesus Christ.

(upbeat '80s music)

(buzzing)

I play to win, I wanna

have it all, I play to win.

I'm gonna reach the stars,

I play to win, I play to win

I play to win...

F***ing hell, Ariel.

Ariel, why do you always

have to be oddjob?

It's the most annoying,

obnoxious thing that you could

do, you know that?

[Ariel] Well,

suck sh*t Simon.

Hey.

Hey, hey, hey, what

are you doing tomorrow?

I think I have to work,

why, what's happening?

Well, I was thinking about

going to the station

and choosing a train

at random and...

[Simon] Don't

listen to her, Polly!

And going all the way

to the end of the line,

you wanna come?

Why?

I don't know, don't you

wanna go on an adventure?

To Frankston?

Don't you also

have a job?

(beeping)

It's baker's

delight, man.

Who gives a sh*t?

Baker's delight

probably give a sh*t.

Oh, come on.

(Humming loudly)

(rolling R's)

(vocal warm ups)

Pa, ka, da, you know you need,

unique, New York, but does

unique, New

York, need you.

(buzzing)

Hey Papa.

[Dad] Oh hi sweetie,

did you get the money?

I did, thank you, I'll

pay you back next week

when I get paid.

Oh, only if you

can, there's no rush.

No, I want to, I swear.

How's Mom?

She's good, she

made the short list

for Who Wants to

Be a Millionaire.

But she'll tell you

about that in a minute.

[Polly] That's great.

And, how are you?

[Polly] I'm fine.

Have you spoken

to your sister?

Did she tell you

about Summer Street?

Yeah, I knew

about that.

[Dad] Isn't

it fantastic?

Yeah, I suppose.

[Dad] My daughter, on Summer

Street, with John Davidson

and Dr. Tim.

[Polly] It's just a

guest spot, and she has

to play an albino.

Don't worry, sweetie.

You'll get your turn too.

I'm not worried, Dad.

I wouldn't have taken the

role if they offered it

to me anyway.

[Dad] Don't be silly,

of course you would have.

No, I wouldn't.

I've got that callback for the

HBO show with Jared Leto.

Oh yeah, I've

forgotten about that.

[Mom] What?
