| This is the MOST accurate recollection of the time we ran into Brooke Satchwell, Kimberly Cooper and Bert Newton�s Son. The "Erskinville Kings" are at a gig at the �Convention and Exhibition Centre�, Darling Harbour. DAVID: I need to go pee. Tom, mind my stuff. DAVID goes to the toilet. ARCHIE: Let�s think of more ways to ruin Pringle's life. Or at least make it hell. TOM: Yeah, let�s think of more ways to break Alex Love�s face. ARCHIE: No, I meant Alex Pringle. TOM sees Brooke Satchwell. TOM: Hey, Pat! It�s Brooke Satchwell! Let�s go stalk, (quickly correcting himself) I mean, let�s go talk to her! PAT: No, I don�t think she�s good looking. TOM: Dammit�(thinks to himself: "�hmmm�who�ll go with me��) TOM runs into the toilet yelling �David� out. DAVID looks around, when he hears a high pitched scream. TOM realises he�s in the women�s toilet, and sneaks a double take before he runs out. TOM then enters the Men�s toilet and continues to yell out �David�. DAVID: (hears TOM and thinks to himself) What the Jack? That�s Tom voice. DAVID stays silent. TOM still can�t find him, so starts to look under all the cubicle doors. DAVID hears abusive language and profanities being yelled. DAVID goes to wash his hands and TOM finds him. TOM: Hey, Brooke Satchwell just walked past! DAVID: WHAT?? SHANNON BROWN!! TOM: No, Brooke Satchwell, from Neighbours. Wanna go follow her? She�s with her boyfriend. DAVID: Yeah! DAVID and TOM run out of the toilet. They start to run in the direction of the way Brooke. People�s faces start to turn into panic, thinking that there�s an earthquake, but then in the realisation of the �SIGHT� (TOM), they calm down. TOM: (panting) There she is! DAVID: WHO?? TOM: (takes a breath) BROOKE�(takes another breath) SATCHWELL!! DAVID: WHERE?? TOM: There!! DAVID: WHERE? TOM: Right in front of you, buying...(breath)...the ticket! DAVID: WHERE? (in sudden realisation) OMG!! It�s BROOKE SATCHWELL!! DAVID: Let�s say hello. TOM: You say it. DAVID: Tom, just yell out �BROOKE!� TOM: Let�s stalk them for a while. DAVID: What? TOM: No, I�m serious, if we stalk them for a while, they�ll think�(I can�t remember what Tom�s perverted reasoning was). DAVID: Just yell out �BROOKE!� Come on, Tom. (TOM is reluctant) Come on, Thomas! (DAVID slaps TOM on the back for encouragement.) DAVID: There�s �Gypsy� from �Home and Away�. TOM: Yeah! It�s KIMBERLY COOPER! And it�s Bert Newton�s Son! DAVID: Hey! He was on �The Panel!� TOM and DAVID sneak up behind them� They suddenly realise our presence and try to avoid eye contact, but no one can avoid looking at TOM. DAVID and TOM: Hello. FOUR OF THEM: Hi. TOM: You�re Brooke Satchwell. DAVID: And you�re Kimberly Cooper. TOM: (looking at Bert Newton�s son) And you�re Mother�s Frank! And you were in the Castle, and Two Hands, and... BROOKE: hehe, he just called you�re mother Frank. (This issue was not cleared up until later. I thought that his Dad was Bert?! But it turns out he was in a movie called �Mother Frank�.) (Introductions are made) (hehe, we shook their hands) BROOKE: So what are you guys doing here? Have you been at the Home Show? TOM: Yeah, we also had a gig here. BROOKE: Oh cool! What do you guys play? TOM: Violin. DAVID: Violin. TOM: We played at the Arias. BERT NEWTON�S SON: Oh cool TOM: Yeah, on the red carpet. BROOKE: So, anything good at the show? TOM: Yeah, (dodgily reaches inside his blazer, and pulls out a bottle of balsamic vinegar, and a photo of the quartet.) We got this bottle of salad dressing, and some red wine! But don�t tell anyone! And David broke some ten thousand-dollar home theatre system. RANDOM �HOME AND AWAY� SET PERSON: Drink that and�bla bla (he said something random.) DAVID: And I got some fortune cookies! (DAVID pulls out from his pocket a handful of fortune cookies wrapped in plastic, and offers it to them.) ALL FOUR OF THEM: No, thanks. TOM: Will you sign my photo? (We then got three of their autographs, except for the random set guy from home and away.) BROOKE: So we better get going. (And as Pringle would say, �I�ve got students to teach.�) TOM: OK, well, watch out for us at the Arias. ALL OF THEM: We will. KIMBERLY COOPER: Yeah, and watch out for me at the after-party. TOM: AWW!! Can you get us in?? KIMBERLY: No. [I�ll be having trouble getting myself in.] TOM reminists about how he got Belinda Wollaston's phone number. TOM: (To BROOKE) Can I have your phone number? BROOKE: No. TOM and DAVID meet back up with PAT and maybe ARCHIE was there. TOM and DAVID are smiling, and PATRICK looks unimpressed. DAVID: We met Brooke Satchwell! TOM: And Kimberly Cooper! TOM and DAVID: (together) And Bert Newton�s son!! AND to "Bert Newton's son" yes, we do know your name, it's Matt. And considering his Dad is Bert Newton, his name must be Matt Newton. |
