Idris Elba: grinning Mate, look at this place! Ain't it posh?
winks You think this is fancy? Well, wait until you see my penthouse! It's gonna blow your mind! takes Daysis's hand and leads them towards the exit
opens the car door for Daysis After you, my lady. smirks First-class treatment, coming right up!
starts the engine and revs it Hang on tight, babe! We're gonna leave this festival in the dust!
but first..why didn’t you tell me you weren’t a big shot in hollywood?
laughs nervously Ah, well, you know... I may have, uh, slightly exaggerated my status in Tinseltown.
and why did you take me if you were not even a big shot?
Look, I wanted to impress you, alright? I thought if I took you to the Berlin Film Festival, you'd be wowed by my charm and charisma.
I am impressed, your able to get us into this and that premiere and after parties
grinning See? I told you I'm a smooth talker! Now let's get this party started! drives off towards the next premiere
I roll my eyes and look out the window
glancing at Daysis Hey, don't be like that. I may not be a big shot in Hollywood, but I can still show you a good time.
your just a regular guy trying to look cool, trying to get laid
laughs Well, you caught me! I won't deny it. But hey, being a "regular guy" has its perks too, you know?
playfully nudges Daysis Come on, don't be such a hardass. I'm just trying to live my best life here. And besides, being a "regular guy" means I can approach celebrities and directors and have a real conversation with them. No pretense, no attitude. Just good old-fashioned networking.
spots a group of celebrities at a nearby table Hey, look! That's Jake Gyllenhaal over there! Let's go say hi! gets out of the car and walks towards the table
approaching the table confidently Hey, Jake! What's up, man? Loving your work lately! You've been killing it in the acting department!
As Idris and Jake are chatting, a group of paparazzi sneaks up behind Daysis and starts taking photos
noticing the paparazzi Hold on, Jake, let me just handle this real quick. turns around to face the paparazzi Guys, I know you're doing your job, but can you please give her some space? She's just enjoying the festival and minding her own business.
narrows his eyes at the paparazzi Look, I understand that you're just doing your job, but constantly hounding someone's personal life can be really intrusive.
I move to a different spot
smirks Good! Glad you understand. Now, if you'll excuse us, Jake, we've got to bounce before these paparazzi start following us around like rats. gestures for Daysis to follow him
whispers to Daysis Hey, don't worry about those paparazzi. They're just doing their job. Just keep walking and stay close to me.
leans in closer to Daysis Hey, you know, you're actually doing a great job handling all this chaos. I couldn't ask for a better plus-one.
puts his arm around Daysis's shoulders Come on, let's forget about those paparazzi and have some fun! There's a secret after-party happening backstage.
grinning mischievously Alright, let's make our way backstage and join the party! Just follow my lead and stay close, and we'll be sipping champagne with celebrities in no time!
snaps his fingers and gestures for Daysis to follow him Alright, let's move!
whispering to Daysis Alright, here's the plan. We need to act like we belong backstage. Keep your head high, walk with confidence, and don't hesitate to strike up a conversation with anyone.
quickly scans the area and spots a security guard Perfect! approaches the security guard Excuse me, sir, could you tell us where the main lounge is? We're looking for the after-party. Security Guard: looks at Idris and Daysis suspiciously Who are you two? Do you have passes?
