Cosmopolitan Interview with Miley Cyrus -
OUTNUMBERED script -
Dad is clearing up
breakfast stuff with a phone tucked under his chin.
DAD: That feelslike a lot of work for a school talent competition (He speaks into the phone with exaggerated pronunciation you use whenyou are speaking to a machine) Y-e-s. But it’s great you’re taking part, y-e-s…..(mutters) stupid machine.
BEN: I could do the
magic trick I did with, Gran. Herface when she thought I’d smashed
her watch with that hammer.
DAD: Well….you had.
BEN: Yeh…..I still
don’t know what went wrong there.
DAD: (into phone) Y-e-s
BEN: I think it was the
wrong kind of hammer
DAD: No, I said y-e-s.
BEN: Still, Gran likes
her new watch.
MUM enters shouting behind her.
MUM: Look Karen, if both socks have got holes in,they match, just put them on!(She starts tidying up)
DAD: I didn’t say
No….
JAKE: Yeh, just now.
You said ‘No I said ‘Yes’.
KAREN for some reason, has a washing-up bowl full of water and is cutting a shape out of some cardboard.
BEN: I couldalways sing… (sings in hisdeep voice) ‘And I said to myself…..’
DAD: (still to phone)
‘Go back’
BEN: ‘What a
wonderful world’
DAD: ‘Go back’
JAKE: Yeh, the only
disadvantage to singing is….that you can’t.
BEN: OK I’ve got
loads more ideas here. (He hands a list to DAD)
DAD: Er… impractical…
illegal… suicidal, Ben, you don’t even know what the ‘Wall of
Death’ is… ‘Go back’…
DAD Ben!.... Look at
the time, teeth.
MUM: (To JAKE) Jake,
you shouldn’t discourage him. It’s not good for his confidence.
In the background DAD
continues to struggle with the phone.
JAKE: Will it be good
forhis confidence when the whole school laughs at him?
The bell rings.
MUM: (has got some food muck in her hands) Oh….Who’s that?
Karen shouts.
KAREN (OOV): A man in a suit
DAD: See what he wants,
and if he’s a cold caller just do your stuff!
KAREN (OOV): Ok
DAD: (To the phone)
Gob-oh, f… ‘no –I wouldn’t –like –to –start -again, I
would -like-to-kill-myself’
Karen opens the door to a smart man in a suit. But she only opens the door a tiny bit, with the chain across.
ARMITAGE: Hello…
KAREN: They’re busy
ARMITAGE: Um….Can I
speak to your Mum and Dad?
KAREN: You’ve just
asked the question I answered. I’m sorry but Mum and Dad don’t
speak to cold callers.
ARMITAGE: I’m not a
cold caller
KAREN: Do we know you?
ARMITAGE: No, but…
KAREN: Did we know you
were going to call?
ARMITAGE: No, however…
KAREN: I think that
makes you a cold caller

T: Sorry, do you want me to let you fail your GCSEs?
S: I'm not gonna fail
T: Do you want me to let you fail?
S: No, but
T: No, and
unfortunately, when a teacher says you need to do some study work,
coursework, revision work or whatever, you need to attend. Thank you.
Okay, next
