FunTranscript
00:00Don't do anything weird, like bring out a ring or like get down on one knee, like I'm not in the mood today.
00:07Alright.
00:07Just so we're clear.
00:08Alright, I hear you.
00:18Can we agree there's a bit of a curse on this?
00:20What do you mean, like a bad curse?
00:22In the sense of like, you know, we've had a couple of lovely interactions.
00:27Yeah.
00:31Okay.
00:31It wasn't like a very enthusiastic, yeah, it was like an undermining, yeah.
00:38Well, yeah.
00:39Come on, we can own that like it's been vibey.
00:43Yeah, it's been vibey to the point where you've been avoiding me for two years because the vibes were too much for you to handle.
00:49Powerful vibes.
00:50So I'm actually surprised you're here.
00:51I'm also surprised I'm here as well.
01:01Do you believe in fate?
01:02I do believe in fate and destiny. Do you know the difference?
01:05I believe in fate.
01:06You do? Go on.
01:07Yeah.
01:08Give me an example.
01:09Remember the day that we met?
01:11Originally?
01:16Are you a good dancer?
01:17Well, I've seen you dance.
01:18Well, of course.
01:19There was a party that I saw you dance at.
01:21Yeah, what did you think?
01:22I was like, she's dancing.
01:25It was epic.
01:26Epic?
01:27It was epic. Honestly, your moves were epic.
01:28Epic.
01:30Like, thrown off.
01:31Yeah, in a good way.
01:32Yeah, no, like inspired but also intimidated.
01:35No, I do remember. I just wanted you to relive it for me in this moment.
01:38I feel manipulated.
01:39Good.
01:40I don't like games.
01:41Good.
01:42I don't like games, Emilia.
01:44Well, it's just fun.
01:45Is it fun?
01:46For me, it's fun.
01:47For the person that's like pulling the string.
01:49Yeah, yeah.
01:50Yeah.
01:51I don't like-
01:52You don't like it?
01:53I'm cutting them.
01:54I'm not going to be who you want me to be in this moment.
01:56I'm not asking you to be anything but what you are.
01:58I'm just holding a mirror up.
02:00Yeah, and I look good.
02:05Do you think it's possible?
02:06Do you really think it's possible that there's someone that could be sat in this seat
02:09that might be like, wait a minute.
02:12I just realized this is it.
02:14Yeah.
02:15Do you not?
02:17I love that you're hopeful about it.
02:19I just think it's, you know, the setup is-
02:23But isn't it just like meeting someone at work?
02:26Yeah, ish.
02:27But like, what other workplaces-
02:28Except I've made it into a date.
02:30What other workplaces-
02:31Your work.
02:34Your workplace.
02:35Yeah, exactly.
02:36How many of those relationships work out?
02:38I don't know.
02:39You tell me.
02:40None?
02:41I mean, it's not-
02:42It's like flash in the pan stuff, usually.
02:46Are your spidey senses tingling right now?
02:48Don't do that.
02:49You get one of those.
02:50I hope you enjoyed it.
02:51I've got one more.
02:52No, I hope you enjoyed it because that's that.
02:53It's over.
02:54Snog, Marry, Avoid.
02:55Go on then.
02:56Tom Holland.
02:58Toby Maguire.
02:59Amelia De Moldeberg.
03:03Oh, this is unfair.
03:04What?
03:05This is really unfair.
03:06You pretend the screw's on me.
03:07Okay.
03:09Oh no, because-
03:11God, that's hard, actually.
03:13I don't want to avoid any of you, really.
03:15Okay, but you have to.
03:18I'll have to avoid you then.
03:19What?
03:20Because I can't-
03:21I can't do that to either of those guys.
03:22I can do it to you.
03:23Are you kidding me?
03:24No, I'm not kidding you.
03:25I'm going to do it to you.
03:26This is exactly what I-
03:27This is called flirting, Amelia.
03:28This is called flirting.
03:33We've had two meet-cutes.
03:34Can you-
03:35I'm going to be myself, and I need you to know me fully.
03:39It's just going to mess up with the sound, so can you just not-
03:41That's true, and I want to be considerate.
03:43Exactly.
03:44This is actually a first date.
03:45Okay.
03:47First date.
03:48Okay, I feel like I just arrived.
03:50Did you kiss on the first date?
03:53No.
04:00I've asked people out a lot, and have got a no.
04:03Like in this way, or like a real way?
04:05No, no.
04:06Well, this is real, but on the outside.
04:10So you're bold, you're bold, courageous, like you go for it.
04:13Exactly.
04:14I really appreciate that so much.
04:15I think it's so-
04:16I think that's sexy.
04:17I think that's really hot.
04:18That's what I think, but then I was rationalizing my, not sadness, but my frustration with rejection.
04:25But then I was like, I just put myself out there more than other people.
04:28So then I get rejected more, so then I always feel rejected.
04:32I don't want to give you a high five on feeling rejected.
04:35That was a weird timing.
04:37It was more just like a high five on like-
04:39I am rejected more than ever.
04:41No, it's about like accepting that that's part of courage.
04:44I just realized that's what it was.
04:45It's amazing.
04:46It is amazing.
04:47How do you do it?
04:48Like, what's your usual like line?
04:50Like, what do you do?
04:51You just try and get with them.
04:52What?
04:54That is what I've done before.
04:55Just like physically, just like-
04:56Just sort of like, exactly.
05:00Yeah.
05:01Like that.
05:02Is that the move?
05:03Now I'm looking at you doing that, I'm realizing maybe this is where I'm doing wrong.
05:10Have you ever been on a date with someone to watch your own movie?
05:14Most of my first dates are-
05:17What?
05:18Seriously?
05:19No, of course not.
05:21Okay.
05:22You like the ginger beer?
05:23Yeah.
05:25I hate ginger beer.
05:26It's so funny because it's like I go to a place and then you're like-
05:32I knew you would do this.
05:33Do what?
05:34I knew you would do this.
05:35Just be aware of all of your moves?
05:36Yes, yes.
05:37I knew you would do this.
05:38Do you hate it?
05:39No, I don't.
05:40I think it's fun.
05:42But I know-
05:43No, it doesn't.
05:44People must have done this with you.
05:45You do it when I've seen you before.
05:47Yeah, because I like- I'm really a fan of what you do.
05:50I like it actually.
05:51I'm into it.
05:52What, you do?
05:53Yeah, because it's funny.
05:54Like, it's funny someone-
05:55Seeing you.
05:56Seeing what I'm doing.
05:57And naming it.
05:58And naming it.
05:59And calling you on it.
06:00Yeah.
06:01And you go slightly red.
06:02What?
06:04How was your 30th?
06:05How was it being 30?
06:06I love being 30.
06:07Do you?
06:08Did you like being 30?
06:09I did, yeah.
06:10I was.
06:11Bitch, I love my 30s.
06:12I really love my 30s, yeah.
06:16If we were to start a relationship, I'm not saying that you would want to or that I would
06:19necessarily want to.
06:20Okay.
06:24Fuck yeah, go on.
06:25You are funny.
06:27You're a funny person.
06:28You're funny too.
06:29You're funnier.
06:30I enjoy that.
06:31I enjoy that very much.
06:32The quality that I really appreciate in you.
06:35And in a date.
06:36And in like a-
06:37I think that we-
06:40There's something going on.
06:41Do you actually think that?
06:42No, no.
06:43Or is this for the-
06:44I do think it's interesting that we-
06:45If this wasn't here, do you think we'd actually have it go on a date?
06:48Do you think this has fucked up the fact that we could have actually gone on a date at some
06:51point?
06:52Maybe.
06:53Well, I don't know.
06:54Okay, but like take out all the practicalities and the logic.
06:58I actually believe maybe we could have without all of this.
07:04Yeah.
07:05But it's this-
07:06You're afraid of it.
07:07I'm a very private person in my private life.
07:12I don't know what's going on.
07:13Are you really?
07:14Are you?
07:15I'm more private than you.
07:16Go on then.
07:17Actually.
07:18Tell me.
07:19Go on.
07:20Have you ever seen me with anyone?
07:21No.
07:22That doesn't mean that you're private.
07:23It does.
07:24It just means you're not with anyone.
07:28Do you want to be married?
07:29Do you want to have children?
07:30Do you want to like-
07:31What are your ultimate longings?
07:33Is that a question?
07:34This is so sweet.
07:36Would you rather not?
07:37Are you going to cut all this out anyway because it's about you?
07:39Yeah, probably.
07:40But this is some bullshit.
07:41Come on.
07:42Let this interview be what it is.
07:43This is like a different vibe.
07:44This is not an interview.
07:45It's not an interview.
07:46It's a date.
07:47This is a different style of date.
07:51There's more mutuality.
07:52I don't mind about being married and I don't really mind about having kids.
07:55You don't mind?
07:56No.
07:57But you do want like a long-term partnership.
07:58Like a monogamous long-term partnership.
08:00I do, yeah.
08:01But I also like my independence and I also like the fact that I can do whatever I want.
08:06Except for bedrooms.
08:08No, but yes.
08:09Maybe at some point.
08:10Maybe, yeah.
08:11As an option.
08:12I actually think it's kind of crazy that you-
08:13You feel obligated to share a bed with-
08:15Just share a bed forever.
08:16For the rest of your lives.
08:20So you've been nominated for an Oscar.
08:22Yeah.
08:23You've not won.
08:25Yeah.
08:26So when are you going to win an Oscar?
08:29How long do you think it's going to be?
08:30How long do you think it's going to be?
08:31To be honest.
08:32Can I be honest with you?
08:33Can I be real with you?
08:34Oh, always.
08:35That whole thing has meant something to me in the past.
08:41And I think I needed that.
08:44And then when I didn't win a couple of times, I was like,
08:47I guess maybe I should give up on that dream.
08:49No, I don't know.
08:50It's not, you know, it doesn't really-
08:52Probably when you stop caring, that's when it will happen.
08:54Probably, yeah.
08:55Apparently that's what happens with love as well.
08:56I think that's right.
08:57I think that's absolutely right.
08:58Which is why I was very relaxed today.
09:01Because I've given up.
09:05I actually have.
09:06I've actually given up.
09:08So-
09:09I don't think you can give up with intention.
09:11I don't think you can give up to try and like end game.
09:14That might be the trick.
09:15I'm practically giving up.
09:17Because then something will happen.
09:19But it's very unexpected.
09:21Out of nowhere.
09:22Would you be more attracted to me if I had an Academy Award?
09:26Maybe, yeah.
09:27Yeah, thank you for your honesty.
09:29No, I get it.
09:30I get it.
09:31Just like my father.
09:32Yeah, because then I come around your house and it's just there.
09:34It's just there, casually.
09:35Like a doorstop for a bathroom.
09:37You know what I mean?
09:38It would be kind of hot, to be fair.
09:40Academy Award winner.
09:41Fuck.
09:43My longing is back for it.
09:45Yeah, but then I'm like trying to please you and that's fucked up.
09:49Why?
09:50That's not the kind of relationship I want.
09:52I actually don't care if you are an Oscar winner or not.
09:54But I would be hotter.
09:56No, you're already like kind of hot.
10:03What's your favourite time?
10:04What's my favourite time?
10:05Yeah, what's your favourite time on the clock?
10:08I thought you meant style of time.
10:10Oh, okay.
10:11Kairos or Kronos.
10:18I think we'd have a really nice time without the camera.
10:20I think we'd just enjoy each other's company.
10:22Maybe not, fuck it.
10:23I think we should be friends.
10:25Okay.
10:26Great.
10:27So?
10:28Done.
10:29Great.
10:30We could hang out.
10:31Okay.
10:32Do I just friendzone this situation?
10:34Yeah, I guess.
10:35Oh, I shouldn't have done that.
10:37Unless that's what you want.
10:38No, I don't know what I want.
10:39Okay.
10:41You haven't got to know what you want.
10:42You have my number.
10:44Do I?
10:45Yes.
10:46You asked for my number at a party.
10:47I did.
10:50I feel like this is just like, should be a practice round.
10:52I feel like we should do it again actually, and better.
10:54Okay.
10:55This should just be like a rehearsal.
10:56I know we've like paid for everything.
10:58I've paid for everything.
10:59Yeah, when I say we, I mean you.
11:00Yeah.
11:06This felt less awkward than usual for you.
11:09Yeah, because you kept asking me loads of questions and making me be like serious.
11:12I'm sorry.
11:13Did I make you less funny?
11:14I don't know.
11:15We'll find out.
11:16Sorry.
11:18Okay.
11:21We need to stop now.
11:22But how?
