TIM
That’s very kind of you. It sounds
like we’re going to get along! One
word of warning, don’t believe a
word Beth says about me. None of it
is true...
BETH
Great. So, on the table this week.
HBO are making a Game of Thrones
spin off and they think you’d be
perfect for the part of Prince
Valhalarax, who rules Valhalia, one
of the seven mortal kingdoms.
TIM
Pass. If I never see another elf,
orc or fucking hobgoblin again it
will be far too bloody soon.
BETH
Noted. Ron Howard is making a
Biopic about the Wright Brothers.
TIM
The Wright Brothers? Which ones?
BETH
The ones that made the first ever GORGEOUS
powered flight.
TIM
Yes, of course, those Wright
Brothers.
BETH
Ron asked if you’d be interested in
playing Wilbur, the older brother.
TIM
Sounds interesting. Very important.
Historical speaking.
BETH
There is just one small thing. He‘s
already cast Harry Truelove to play
Orville, the younger brother.
TIM
Lovelock!? He’s least a year older
than me. Maybe two! I’d rather
stick needles through my knackers
than that work with that impostor!
