TRANSCRIPT

Bonus 4: Olivia

 

Scene B4:0

 

NARRATOR 

Y2K Take 2. Bonus episode 4. Olivia. Madagascar. July 2023. 

 

Scene B1:1

OLIVIA 

...and that’s it I suppose. (slightly sad smile) My final episode from Madagascar. (clears throat) I’ve had some listener questions, mostly about what will happen to the podcast now that I’ll be moving again. (smiles) Don’t worry, podcasting is practically part of my DNA after all these years. I’ll continue the Y2K23 podcast wherever I go, and Tammi and Becca will keep guesting when they can. However, if you’ve been listening to the Adalatherium podcast you know that we are handing it over to the new group of interns, and I for one will definitely be listening to hear all about their discoveries. This... It’s hard to believe this internship has only been ten months. It’s been... everything I could have hoped for. I have learnt so much. (slight laugh) Not just about fieldwork and excavation, but specifically about late Cretaceous vertebrate animals, all of which is fascinating - I feel like my mind has expanded to five times its size! (beat, more serious) And my heart, too... Being here, working here, living here, making friends... It’s been... feels trite to say, but... It changed me. Changed my perspective, mostly on myself, I think. I was talking to one of my newer friends the other day, and saying how much I would miss Madagascar, and all my friends here, when I leave. She asked if I was going home. And I... I didn’t know what to say. What is home, for me? Most people have an easy answer to that, but me? Is it Birmingham? I only lived there for three years. Ireland? Since mum moved I don’t really have a connection anymore. Brighton, maybe? Grew up there, but don’t really have any ties left there either... And I’ve still never been to Canada... Suppose I should put Edmonton on my list of places to visit, but home? No. I suppose the... fleetingness of all this is one reason my parents’ divorce hit me so hard. I don’t know if I will ever feel completely at home anywhere. (small smile) On the other hand, I can feel nearly at home in many places... It’s as though I have little pieces of home all over the world. Suppose that makes me lucky. (lets out breath) And so - all of this rambling is leading somewhere, I swear! – I don’t know if I am going home. But as I told my friend I am going somewhere that, for me, feels more like home than anywhere else. (big smile) It is finally settled. (deep breath) I’m going back to New Zealand. Back to Auckland. I’ve really missed living there. I have another internship lined up starting in August, and hopefully I can go back to uni and work toward a PhD sometime within the next few years. Of course it doesn’t hurt that both my parents are there now... As well as aunt Bri [Bree] and uncle Antonio. (quickly)  Though, no, my parents aren’t back together! (smile) I could feel you starting to write that question, listeners... I’ve stopped hoping for that. Well. Mostly stopped. At this point I’m just happy they are friends, and are able to be there for each other. I am looking forward to spending time with both of them, and all of my other relatives and friends... (lighter) But before all of that I’ll be hanging out with Tammi and Becca in Paris - for two whole weeks! Yes! I am so excited! So you can expect at least one podcast episode with the three of us talking over each other and laughing a lot, maybe we’ll get some of Tammi’s old friends to join us too... (deep breath) Right. I really have to go now. Thank you so much for listening. And... (smiles) Kia ora!

TRANSCRIPT

 

Bonus 3: Drama School Director 

 

Scene B3:0 

(INTRO MUSIC) 

NARRATOR 

Y2K Take 2. Bonus episode 3. Radio interview with (beep) from (long beep), a drama school in London. May 2015. 

 

Scene B3:1 

(EXT. Daytime. Quiet city street. The DIRECTOR is being interviewed.) 

DIRECTOR 

Ahh… Sorry - who? Ina… Ina Fischer? Oh, yeah, I remember her. Called herself something else in those days, what was it now... Tip of my tongue... (beat) Nope. Flew away. Must have been, what... Seven or eight years ago? More?... What was that? (surprised) Fifteen? Well. Time sure does fly, doesn’t it? Must have been having fun. Eh, you know, many students passing through the school since then. I can’t… Can’t keep track of them all, now can I? Always good when they go on to make some noise in the world, though, in one way or another. Not all of ‘em in acting, mind you, a lot of ‘em in completely different fields. Writers and directors, and TV presenters... That sort of thing. (thinks) Actually I’ve had lots of famous students actually. Weren’t famous when they were students, o’course. Most of them. Actually I did teach a child star once, they were awful. Thought they were the center of the universe... What was that? (snort) Oh I won’t tell you their name, that’d be all over the tabloids in a hot minute. Hm? Nah. Keeping some secrets. Ina, though, nothing bad to say about her. She never could shake that accent, but, yeah, turns out she did all right anyway, didn’t she? These days, everyone wants authenticity, don’t they?(emphasis) Natural accents. Bit of a bummer for someone like me, you know, I mean (changes accent)I’ve got my Christian Slater voice I can, you know, put on, (changes accent) and, like, ah got mah Southern Belle (changes accent) and my New York, but nobody seems to want that anymore (changes accent) and, you know, like, I’ve got Scottish coming out of all sorts of places, my Sean Connery, I could do a female version of that (changes back to own accent) But yeah, not as much- Not as much demand for accents anymore- What was that? Right. Ina Fischer, yeah. Practically a movie star, yes? Well, good on her! Not everyone does as well as that, do they? Most of ‘em just go ‘round endless auditions and starve, y’know? S’a tough life, acting truly. Still. It’s the best fun in the world. I love it. Nothing like it. Do you know, once I played the Mona Lisa in this kind of punk rock installation in one of the royal palaces, we ripped up- you know we made it rain fish, and I was there in this beautiful gown with, you know like, like Jason’s technicolour dreamcoat but just gold, with blood all over it, and ah, the atmosphere, you could cut it with a knife… And we did. We basically just cut most things. With a knife. But- You know art is so beautiful and, all the challenges I’ve had, you know, as an actor, I- What? Ina. No. No dirt on her. (laughs) Not that I’d tell you if there were! Can’t go ‘round talking about people to the press, that’d be rude. Sorry to disappoint. (footsteps start walking away) Wait! (calls) Where are you- (calls louder) I remember now! Kat! Called herself Kat! 

(running after reporter, calling, out of breath) Wait! So unfit… Ina Fischer! Called herself- (reporter has stopped, DIRECTOR stops, lets out breath) Ah. Kat. (smiles) Gotcha! Haven’t told you about my play yet! It’s all about the inequality of time, and as you grow older, time goes faster, and as you’re young it’s all about grabbing life by the testes and just squeezing- No. it is not. I didn’t mean that! I mean, it’s about the hierarchy of the patriarchy with the matriarchy and are we existing now or are we living in our own tomorrow with yesterday’s dreams? You know? And we’re going to perform it all in monster trucks, in Peterborough, in England...

 

(Fade out.)

TRANSCRIPT

 

Scene B2:0

NARRATOR

Please note that this episodes features strong language and references to abuse and self harm.

(INTRO MUSIC)

NARRATOR

Y2K Take 2. Bonus episode 2. Selected LiveJournal entries written by Katarina Fischer from 2000 to 2002.

 

Scene B2:1

NARRATOR

February, 2000.

(Typing on 00s laptop, fades out after about two words)

KATARINA

I keep thinking about J. It is rare for me to be so attracted to someone. And yet a relationship between us would not be a good idea. He would try to dominate and I would alternate between stubbornly dominating back and sulkily surrendering. We’d have huge, unpleasant arguments and I’d end up witha crushed sense of self-worth. Not good. (sighs) He really is a lovely generous person but his ego is enormous.

(‘enter’ key sound)

 

Scene B2:2

NARRATOR

March, 2000.

(Typing on 00s laptop, fades out after about two words)

KATARINA

...and then he said something patronizing and condescending and I left rather than snapping. On the bus on the way home I thought about what kind of person he is. He is intelligent, generous, social and popular... But he’s also self-centered, and he has no social antennae. Doesn’t pay enough attention to other people to develop any. And it really bothers me that he keeps saying I’m so... bad. I don’t quite know what he is picking up on, but it’s not a response I’ve had before. (beat) I stand up to him. Maybe he’s not used to that. (thinks) And he puts down my taste in music and plays and everything. Proclaiming his taste superior in every way. He is so annoying!

(‘enter’ key sound)

Scene B2:3

NARRATOR

July, 2000.

(Typing on 00s laptop, fades out after about two words)

KATARINA

(has cried for days and has no tears left) Oh fuck. I can’t... I can’t write about this. I mean, what would I say? It happened. It is over. The dream is in pieces, shattered all over the floor. Can I pick the pieces up and put them back together? (beat) I don’t know. Feel like I’ll never be whole again. (beat) J is... He tries. And I’m sure he mourns, too, in his way. But still. It’s like the grief is all mine, it was my body that failed, and I... I want to punish it. I want to punish my useless body and I don’t know how. Everyone keeps telling me to eat, and rest, and take care of myself... I don’t want to do any of that. I don’t *deserve* any of that. My body failed me, failed my (voice breaks) child, and I hate it.

(‘enter’ key sound)

 

Scene B2:4

NARRATOR

August, 2000.

(Typing on 00s laptop, fades out after about two words)

KATARINA

I always used to say if anyone ever uses physical violence against me, I am gone. Leaving. I cannot let anyone do that to me. Ever. I wanted to hold onto that, but... (long pause) Then it got all muddled. He’s promised never to do it again. And I hit him, too, a while back. Didn’t mean to, of course. But the fact remains. I did hit him. (beat) And he forgave me. So I owe it to him to forgive him too. (sigh) Working on that.

(‘enter’ key sound)

 

Scene B2:5

NARRATOR

November, 2000.

(Typing on 00s laptop, fades out after about two words)

KATARINA

(very tired and disconnected, slowly)

I thought

My thoughts

Were mine alone

Turns out

I thought

All wrong

(deep sigh)

(‘enter’ key sound)

 

Scene B2:6

NARRATOR

January, 2001.

(Typing on 00s laptop, fades out after about two words)

KATARINA

(very, very sad) I want myself back. Whole. (beat) I feel broken. He hacked and carved in me to shape me to his liking and the blood is still seeping. It pools around my feet along with the unwanted parts of me that he chopped off. How am I supposed to put myself together again? (beat) So helpless. So mutilated.

(‘enter’ key sound)

 

Scene B2:7

NARRATOR

February, 2001.

(Typing on 00s laptop, fades out after about two words)

KATARINA

(like she’s about to throw something, or punch someone) Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Why do I care that he’s found someone else? I hate him. (long pause, sighs, calmer) And that’s the explanation I suppose. I am not yet indifferent toward him. He still has power over me. Power he does not deserve. That I do not want to give him. Power that he took a year ago and hasn’t given back. (beat) He had no respect for me. Who and what I was did not matter. I was to be squeezed into his perfect girlfriend mold and be happy about it. (beat, more forceful) I feel like I should warn her. That I should have branded his forehead for all to see. With a scarlet letter A for Abuser... (lets out breath) But I don’t know how. She probably wouldn’t listen. (beat) Someone tried to pass on a warning from his ex, after all, and I didn’t listen. Hell, his ex tried to warn me herself, in a way, and I was completely oblivious. (beat) I want to save her but... I don’t know how.

(‘enter’ key sound)

 

Scene B2:8

NARRATOR

April, 2001.

(Typing on 00s laptop, fades out after about two words)

KATARINA

Kazakhstan is beautiful. The landscape... There are no words. Been here a month now and am slowly feeling like I am getting the hang of things. The first few weeks were a blur. Constant stream of new people and new challenges. (small snort) And so many hours on horseback. I just fell into bed every night. No time to think. Didn’t even dream, at least not that I remember. I think... It’s been good. Going far away. No chance of accidentally meeting J and his new girlfriend somewhere. Ugh. The ‘new girlfriend’ part still hurts. How could he move on so quickly? He said I was ‘the best girlfriend he’d ever had’. That what we had was special. (beat) I suppose this is a question that answers itself. It wasn’t special. (beat) *I* wasn’t special. I was replaceable. Easily replaceable. And that still hurts. A lot. But being here helps. And the work... I don’t know if I will ever get a chance like this again, but the work is (awed) exhilarating. I am giving it everything I have. And I hope that is enough so that I get to do it again. Because, this? It is everything I ever wanted.

(‘enter’ key sound)

 

Scene B2:9

NARRATOR

April, 2002.

(Typing on 00s laptop, fades out after about two words)

KATARINA

(smiles) Been so long since I wrote anything here. Probably no-one reads it, anyway. (slight laugh) They might, if they connected it to my... work, I suppose. But I’ve made sure to erase all connections. (beat) I found out today that J’s latest girlfriend dumped him. (smiles) E told me, apparently she ran into them down the pub the other week. And E decided to call him out for his behavior toward me. I wish I could have been there! I am sure she was magnificent. (beat) The new girl overheard some of E:s rant and seems to have had second thoughts. I am so glad she got away, and I will just admit that I am (beat) happy he was hurt and humiliated. I may be mostly over him, but what he did to me... It was not OK. I am still not fully healed. Maybe I never will be. And while I hope he learns from this, and changes his behavior, I don’t think he will. Don’t think he can. So I will continue to quietly celebrate when I hear of another girl escaping his clutches. Another girl surviving. Maybe we should all form a secret society. The I-survived-J-club. (small laugh) This latest girl can be president. I admire her... (small sigh) Fantasy aside. Haven’t really made time for romance since J – work has been my boyfriend, I suppose – but I’ve been eyeing this steady-cam guy for a few weeks now. (smiles) Feels like he’s been eyeing me back. Excited to see where this goes...

TRANSCRIPT  

Hi, this is Karin Heimdahl, creator of Y2K. I am here with a season two announcement. As you know, we've been releasing season 1 every single week all through 2020. And season one is nearing its end, we are releasing episode 52 - the finale - on December 25th  and the very final episode of season one will be our epilogue, which will air on January 1 2021. And after that, well what happens after that? Me and the cast and quite a lot of new cast and an additional sound designer are hard at work on season two, however, season two will not be weekly. Because putting out a weekly audio drama for a year has been amazing, but also a lot. And I think I need to claim a little bit of time for other things next year. However, you will still hear from us every single month of 2021. Season two will be monthly, the episodes will release on the final Friday of every month. The episodes will be longer than the average season one episode. They will vary between 20 to 35 minutes. Most of them will be somewhere around the 25 minute mark. And each of the episodes will focus on one of our main 12 characters from season one. So that is our three leads, of course Kat Jess, and Olivia. And also all of our other main characters. So Johnno, Rachel, Maia, Shirin, Tammi, Kirsten, Emma, Bri, and Claire. All of them will have their own episode in season 2, and each of the episodes will take place in a different year, and in a different city. And these will range from I think they will span, let's see, I'm now doing math in my head, which is hard. So. Oh, wow. These will span 45 years. That's a lot. So, the episodes will take place over 45 years. I will say that most of them will take place somewhere between 2001 and 2019. And so yeah, these episodes will be much more loosely connected than season one. However, if you are curious about these characters and their backstories. And in one case, what will happen in 2021? Then, I hope you are excited about season two. I'm really excited about season two. 

In fact, I've been so focused on season two these past few months that I've almost sort of forgotten that we're releasing season one, and that the season one storylines are wrapping up in these final few episodes releasing right now. So I'm really, really excited for you to hear the end of season one. I wrote and we recorded this story last year. And as you know, I could have had no idea that 2020 and the nightmare of COVID-19 would happen. So it's been a weird year of course for me as for everyone, but it's also been a constant for me, you know releasing an episode every single week promoting the episode, updating all those different little things . So I will miss that, I think. But also, I will have space in my brain and in my calendar to work on other things. So I'm not going to say too much about that now. But I'm aiming for the production side  on Y2K season two to be finished around March or April sometime  this year. And as I'm thinking now, season two will be the end of y2k, there will not be a season three, I might change my mind, you know, I reserve the right to change my mind if I want to. But if there is a season three, which I really   don't think, but if there is a season three, it will not come directly after season two is wrapped. I know that much. Because I'm going to be focusing on a different project, sort of from mid 2021 onwards. I'm focusing on developing a new show that will hopefully release early 2022, something like that. But I will keep you updated on that and what happens there. And I'm very excited about it, it will be a genre shift for me. But there will still be lots of feels, which is what I'm all about. So yeah. 

I can't wait for you to hear the end of season one. I cannot wait for you to hear what we're working on now, which is season two. And all these amazing new actors and characters were bringing in - we have so many characters that are one-off characters in season two, because of course, the episodes take place in separate years in separate cities. And some of them contain more than one character from season one. And some of them do not and have all new characters. I can't wait for you to meet them and especially I think the characters that haven't gotten to develop and say all that much in season one, for you to hear a whole episode devoted to them, and their stories. I'm really excited about that. So stay tuned for season two, episode one, which we'll release on January 29th. And also stay tuned for all of my excited squealing on social media. For my announcements on my co sound designer who's amazing and will sound design half of the episodes for season two. And also for all the wonderful actors. I'm so excited. 

Also, I am planning a Q and A at some point after season 1 has wrapped, so if you have any questions for me, please let me know – about the story, or the process, or the characters, or season 2. Anything really. And if you have questions for the actors, let us know that too, and I will do my very best to get those answered as well. Please let us know what you are wondering about either via e-mail y2kpod@gmail.com or @ us on social media @y2kpod. I’ll put all that info in the episode description as well. 

Finally I want to highlight something I wrote for Jess in episode 49, which I think pretty much summarizes what Y2K is all about. 

"People talk about friendship like it’s not important. Like all that matters is romantic love. They say 'You can always find new friends'. But friends aren’t interchangeable." 

This time of year tends to be a lot about family, and family is so important. But I want to encourage you to celebrate your friends too, especially after this very challenging year. I don’t know how I could have managed 2020 without my friends. 

Meanwhile, from all of us, and to all of you, wishing you happy holidays, all the best for December and January, be it winter or summer where you are. And all the best for Yule and for Kwanzaa. And for Lucia, Yalda, Bodhi, Krampus, Hanukkah and Christmas and all of the various things that you can celebrate this time of year. Thank you so much for listening, and, as always, I'm sending oceans of hugs to wherever you are.

TRANSCRIPT

 

Bonus Episode 1: Jess

 

Scene B1:0 

(INTRO MUSIC)

 

NARRATOR

Y2K Take 2. Bonus episode 1. Voicemails from Jessica Shaw to Katarina Fischer in 2001.

 

Scene B1:1

 

(Modem, clicks)

 

JESS

(softly) Kat! (shakes head) I mean, Ina... I am trying! Promise... Sorry it’s been a while. Still in new-baby-shock-mode. Yeah. Rachel and Liv fell asleep a little while ago, and I should probably catch some too, but you know me. No good at sleeping in the day... Plus I *should* get some writing done. (sighs) Not sure how. My brain is mush. I had all these plans... (snort) I was going to start a novel. I’ve had this idea percolating for a while, and it feels like the story needs to be in novel form. (stifles a yawn) I’ll tell you about it when I’m less tired. (smiles) If that ever happens. How much time could one tiny baby really need from two parents, right? I was... (smiles) extremely foolish. Turns out: *all* of the time. One hundred percent. More, if she could. (sheepish) I start part-time at the library next week, and I’m almost... looking forward to it? To be somewhere else and do something with other adults and not be in this constant baby fog... I’ll miss them both, of course, and still won’t get any sleep, but maybe I can- (baby starts crying in other room, JESS lets out breath, quickly) Have to run – love you!

 

(clicks)

 

Scene B1:2

 

(Modem, clicks)

 

JESS

Kat! Ina! Sorry! Hi. I’m working. It’s good. I like the library. Weird not to be home though. And I MISS them. But also: Talking to other adults about things that have nothing to do with babies? Bliss. In fact, so blissful that I feel guilty. Rachel doesn’t get to do that. We joined this mummy-baby-group-thing and went together the first few times but guess what everyone’s talking about? Yeah. Babies... And sleep deprivation. And nipple pads and cloth diapers – sorry – nappies! – and baby swim classes and baby yoga. It’s this whole new weird world. Honestly I’m impressed if we manage to get the three of us dressed and out of the apartment in anything resembling a reasonable time for doctor’s appointments and the baby group – can’t really imagine trying to fit in baby yoga... How are you? I tried to listen to your latest voicemail this morning but I only had a minute at a time so it was a bit disjointed. So glad the shoot is exciting, though, I- (baby starts crying in other room, JESS lets out breath, quickly) Sorry! Oceans!

 

(clicks)

 

Scene B1:3

 

(Modem, clicks)

 

JESS

(baby is whining in other room) Ina! Kat! No – got it right! This is not a message. It’s a placeholder. Liv will not stop crying and we don’t know what to do. At some point, I will be able to finish sentences again. Complete thoughts. Wish I knew when. Oh Kat, I’m so tired. Have to get back to Liv and Rachel. Am sending Rachel over to Bree’s to get some sleep. I love you.

 

(clicks)

 

Scene B1:4 

(Modem, clicks)

 

JESS

(exhausted, almost whispering) Ina! Dearest Ina, so sorry about the radio silence. It’s been... These past few weeks... We do everything they tell us to but it’s not enough. Liv has colic. Because, of course that’s what it is. Even in our muddled states we should have realized. It will pass, they say. Sometime. (sighs) My dear, I think we have to give up on voicemails for a while. Much as I love hearing your voice, I either am so tired I can’t focus or Liv is screaming, poor thing. I’ll write you, instead. At least with e-mails I can stop and start as many times as I need. I am so excited about your movie and everything wonderful happening in your life, and I really want to know what is going on, but I can’t handle voicemails right now. Sending you oceans and oceans of hugs. (beginning of baby cry, cut off)

 

(clicks)

 

Scene B1:5

TRANSCRIPT

 

 

Bonus episode 4: Tammi’s Takeover

 

(INTRO MUSIC)

 

Scene B4:1

 

TAMMI

Hello and welcome to Tammi’s Takeover – our exclusive show for you wonderful Patreon supporters of Y2K! My name is Tammi, and here with me is Olivia...

 

OLIVIA

(sounds as if she’s on phone all through episode) Hello! (smiles) Though in reality, we are just finishing our conversation from the final episode.

 

TAMMI

That’s right. Only, now I’m in charge! (evil laughter)

 

OLIVIA

(laughs) All right. So what are we doing?

 

TAMMI

Well, this is our very last episode. And you’ve talked a little about this, but... Has it been like you expected? This podcasting business?

 

OLIVIA

Yeah, no. Not at all. Think I’ve said before that I didn’t expect very much. I didn’t really do this to communicate with the listeners, and yet that has been the most brilliant part of it.

 

TAMMI

In what way?

 

OLIVIA

Just... Getting people’s reactions to things. Listeners getting invested in my life, and in what I say... Also thanks to the podcast, I feel like I understand my parents better. It’s hard to stay really angry when you sympathize, you know? And I’ve got in touch with Mike, that would have never happened without the podcast, and without the help of listeners.

 

TAMMI

Yeah, that is pretty cool. I wanted to ask you about that actually – what kind of contact do you see yourself having with Mike in the future?

 

OLIVIA

We’ve sent some e-mails back and forth since we were there. I like him. And I like Scott too. But, you know, time will tell. I guess I wanted Mike to be the answer to all my problems (slight laugh) and he can’t be that. Of course he can’t. Also now everything’s out in the open with my parents and I don’t really feel that need anymore. Maybe we can visit Mike and Scott again when we fly back from Auckland in July?

 

TAMMI

Yeah! And maybe stay a few days and see some more of Melbourne?

 

OLIVIA

That would be great. So, yeah. I don’t know what we’ll be to each other. He’s definitely not my dad!

 

TAMMI

Nope, that’s pretty clear.

 

OLIVIA

Right. I have a final recording to play, you want to do that now?

 

TAMMI

Yes! Tell us about it.

 

OLIVIA

So I believe this is their final production. They were doing Sophocles’ Antigone. Do you know the story?

 

TAMMI

Only very vaguely.

 

OLIVIA

The drama school director explains it pretty well in the recording, but it’s a Greek tragedy about Antigone (an-TIG-uh-nee), played by Kat, who wants to rebel against the king, and in this scene she is telling her sister Ismene (is-MAY-nee), played by Jess, about what she wants to do.

 

TAMMI

OK. Sounds complicated.

 

OLIVIA

We should just listen, it makes pretty good sense.

 

TAMMI

All right, here we go.

 

Scene B4:2

 

(dramatic music)

 

DIRECTOR

You sit there, Jess, and Kat, you’re coming in from stage left... (Rustle of scripts) Good. Whenever you’re ready.

 

KAT (as ANTIGONE)

(stiff, trying to do RP)

Now you know, and you’ll quickly demonstrate

whether you are nobly born, or else

a girl unworthy of her splendid ancestors.

 

 JESS (as ISMENE)

(stiff, trying to do RP)

O my poor sister, if that’s what’s happening,

what can I say that would be any help

to ease the situation or resolve it? 

 

DIRECTOR

Right, stop there, please. You’re both getting stuck on the accent and forgetting the story. Let’s just work out... What is going on in this scene?

 

KAT

Um, Antigone (an-TIG-uh-nee) wants to bury her brother.

 

JESS

And she wants Ismene (is-MAY-nee) to help.

 

DIRECTOR

And what are they to each other?

 

KAT

Sisters.

 

DIRECTOR

Yes – and, at this point, well, they only have each other. Their parents are dead, their brothers have just killed each other, they are shocked and scared and in a very tenuous position. Their uncle is now king, and, well, they don’t know what will happen to them. And right here, right now, Antigone suggests something that is completely unthinkable to Ismene. You see, this...   This is that scene. So, y’know, stop worrying about the accents and get the emotions right.

 

JESS

Still want me to do a British accent?

 

DIRECTOR

Yes – but don’t worry about it too much. Y’know, an accent, you can tell when it’s shite, right? (laughs)

 

JESS

All right.

 

DIRECTOR

Right. (claps hands) From the top. Whenever you’re ready. Impress me. (under breath) Emotion – emotion – emotion...

 

(Rustle of scripts)

 

KAT (as ANTIGONE)

Now you know, and you’ll quickly demonstrate

whether you are nobly born, or else

a girl unworthy of her splendid ancestors.

 

 JESS (as ISMENE)

O my poor sister, if that’s what’s happening,

what can I say that would be any help

to ease the situation or resolve it?

 

KAT (as ANTIGONE)

Think whether you will work with me in this

and act together.

 

JESS (as ISMENE)

In what kind of work?

What do you mean?

 

KAT (as ANTIGONE)

Will you help these hands

take up (struggles to pronounce the name) Polyneices’...

 

DIRECTOR

Polyneices – Polyneices, poly-whatever-his-name-is... Right, OK, good. Now. We can stop there. Better. Kat, before next rehearsal I want you to work a bit on the accent – doesn’t have to be perfect, but get rid of as much of your own accent as you possibly can.

 

KAT

OK.

 

DIRECTOR

Great. Don’t worry about it now, though. (thinks) You’re both a bit stuck, aren’t you... We need to do something to get those jaws unclenched... Got it! Kat, go stand in that corner. Go go go go!

 

KAT

O-K. (footsteps)

 

DIRECTOR

And Jess, you go in that corner. Quick quick quick, choppy-choppy, hoppy-hoppy, good, right...

 

JESS

Right. (footsteps, distant, calls) Hi Kat!

 

KAT

(distant, calls) Hello Jess!

 

DIRECTOR

Now, don’t worry about the accents, don’t worry about the emotions, just make sure the other can hear you clearly, right?

 

JESS

So... you mean we should yell?

 

DIRECTOR

No, more like, project your voice all the way across the room so your message will be heard.

 

JESS

Yeah.

 

DIRECTOR

Right. Now I only want you to use those first lines - “Now you know...” Kat and “O my poor sister..” Jess, and y’know, just,

really throw them across the room, over and over.

 

KAT

Both at the same time?

 

DIRECTOR

Yes. All right. Ready?

 

KAT and JESS

Yes!

 

DIRECTOR

Go!

 

KAT (as ANTIGONE)

(same time as JESS, calling over and over)

Now you know, and you’ll quickly demonstrate

whether you are nobly born, or else

a girl unworthy of her splendid ancestors.

 

 JESS (as ISMENE)

 (same time as KAT, calling over and over)

O my poor sister, if that’s what’s happening,

what can I say that would be any help

to ease the situation or resolve it?

 

(Lines repeated 4 times, some minor giggling from KAT and JESS)

 

DIRECTOR

Thank you, thank you, that’s good. Feeling less stiff now are we? Yes, it’s what I say to all the boys... Right, Kat, sit down next to Jess over here on “Think whether...” and then take both her hands in yours on “Will you help these hands...”

 

KAT

(scribbles in her script) OK.

 

DIRECTOR

And start from “Think whether...” and just put all the emotions in there, just cram them in, and... Start when you’re ready.

 

(KAT and JESS get into position, rustle of scripts.)

 

KAT (as ANTIGONE)

Think whether you will work with me in this

and act together.

 

JESS (as ISMENE)

In what kind of work?

What do you mean?

 

KAT (as ANTIGONE)

Will you help these hands

take up Polyneices’ corpse and bury it?

 

 JESS (as ISMENE)

What? You’re going to bury Polyneices,

when that’s been made a crime for all in Thebes?

 

KAT (as ANTIGONE)

Yes. I’ll do my duty to my brother—

and yours as well, if you’re not prepared to.

I won’t be caught betraying him.

 

JESS (as ISMENE)

You’re too rash.

Has Creon not expressly banned that act?                              

 

KAT (as ANTIGONE)

Yes. But he’s no right to keep me from what’s mine.

 

DIRECTOR

Right, thank you. Yes, that’s more like it. Haha! Well done! Now, I suggest very strongly we go to the pub for a debrief, and...

 

(dramatic music )

 

Scene B4:3

 

TAMMI

So, this is it – our final Tammi’s Takeover, and the last episode ever of Y2K podcast.

 

OLIVIA

Yeah. (beat) Maybe...

 

TAMMI

(laughs) Maybe? I thought you said you were all done?

 

OLIVIA

I did say that.

 

TAMMI

So?

 

OLIVIA

Maybe there is more.

 

TAMMI

More of what?

 

OLIVIA

(laughs) More to say. More of a story to tell.

 

TAMMI

You enjoy being cryptic, don’t you?

 

OLIVIA

(laughs) No! But... I don’t know yet. I just think there might be another story to tell. Or a few. (pause)

 

TAMMI

And that’s all you’ll say?

 

OLIVIA

That’s all.

 

TAMMI

Will you at least tell me afterwards?

 

OLIVIA

I will.

 

TAMMI

All right. So, listeners, wonderful Patreon supporters, I suppose you will just have to stay tuned to our social media and our feed for some sort of announcement. Right?

 

OLIVIA

Yes.

 

TAMMI

So all that’s left now is to say thank you so much for listening, thank you so much for your support, and – stay tuned?

 

OLIVIA

Yes. Thank you so much. You cannot know how much your support means to us. So... Bye for now!

 

TAMMI

Bye!
