I'm just talking to Polly

about her big audition

with Jared Leto.

Well, I doubt

he's gonna be there.

Now, this Summer Street

thing, it's a big deal

for Amy, so you need

to be happy for her.

She's worked so hard.

I work hard too, and

I am happy for her.

(sighs) And anyway,

it's not a competition.

[Dad] I know, sweetie,

I wasn't saying that.

And I know it must be hard,

with her getting big roles.

I've actually gotta go

dad, I've got an important

industry networking

function to get to.

[Dad] Okay, bye.

(upbeat electro

rock music)

Ah, that's my beer.

Hello.

Um, hello.

Yeah sorry,

that's my beer.

(Speaks German)

Oh, sorry, I

didn't realize.

Where are you from?

Berlin.

I have always

wanted to go there.

Nah, I'm just

f***in' with you.

Oh, a**hole.

Oliver.

Polly.

[Oliver] Smoke?

Yeah, sure.

So what would I

have seen you in?

Last year I did

two features.

Did you see Diggers,

or The Shearer?

With Russell

Crowe, wow.

No, I don't really

watch Australian films,

but that's amazing,

congratulations.

It's not a big deal.

To be honest, I'd

really like to focus

more on directing

theater.

I'm opening a play

next month, actually.

I don't know, if I wanted

to really go for it,

acting-wise, I'd go straight

to LA for pilot season.

Yeah, I know a lot of

actors who've done that.

I've actually been thinking

about doing it, myself.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I mean, I'm sure my agent

could fix up some meetings

for me, and I could

stay with a girlfriend

who lives over there.

Do you know Zoe Cooper?

The chick from that

David Lynch film?

Yeah.

She's a babe.

Yeah.

How do you know her?

Oh, we did some acting

classes together, years ago,

but we stayed in touch, and I'm

sure it'd be fine to crash

with her for a bit.

I f***in' love Blue

Velvet, it's probably one

of my favorite

films, ever.

What's your all-time

favorite film?

It's gonna sound

really cheesy. (laughs)

Tell me.

It's a Wonderful Life, you

know, with Jimmy Stewart?

Frank Capra, no, that's adorable,

it's a beautiful film.

You have such

beautiful fair skin.

You look really

familiar, too.

Are you sure I wouldn't

have seen you in something?

My twin sister's an actor

too, you might have seen

her in some ads

or something.

Twin?

Yeah, um...

As in identical?

(Laughs) Yeah.

I mean, when you get to know

us, like our family and

friends can tell the

difference, but yes,

technically

we're identical.

And you're both actors?

So are you guys like, the

Olsen twins, or something?

It's not really

like that.

Although, I did meet John Stamos

in a shopping center once.

(laughs) But yeah, we don't

really hang out that much.
