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! Scene B4:2 NARRATOR Thank you for listening to this bonus episode of 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.) Scene B3:2 NARRATOR Thank you for listening to this bonus episode of Y2K: Take 2.
