Other Interviews

Listen / Watch again to the interviews with prospective flatmates.
Underline any differences between the film and the written script (below) :

• DAVID : All right, just a few questions.
• ALEX : I'd like to ask you about your hobbies.
• JULIET : Why do you want a room here?
• DAVID : Do you smoke?
• ALEX : When you slaughter a goat and wrench its heart out with your bare hands, do you then summon hellfire?
• JULIET : Look, it's a fairly straightforward question. You're either divorced or you're not.
• JULIET : I mean, what are you actually doing here? What is the hidden agenda?
• ALEX : Or maybe just phone out for a pizza?
• DAVID : Do a little freebasing maybe, from time to time?
• ALEX : When you get up in the morning, how do you decide what shade of black to wear?
• DAVID : OK, I'm going to play you just a few seconds of this tape -- I'd like you to name the song, the lead singer and the three hit singles subsequently recorded by him with another band.
• JULIET : Now, let me get this straight. This affair that you're not having, is it not with a man or not with a woman?
• DAVID : Turning very briefly to the subject of corporate finance -- no, this is important. Leveraged buy-outs -- a good thing or a bad thing?
• ALEX : With which of the following figures do you most closely identify: Joan of Arc, Eva Braun or Marilyn Monroe?
• ALEX : And when did anyone last say to you these exact words: You are the sunshine of my life'?
• DAVID : Did you ever kill a man?
• DAVID : And what if I told you that I was the antichrist?

C.In pairs, take turns to interview each other for a place in your flat as before, but this time try asking some of the strange questions that were asked in the video sequence you’ve just seen.
