We think they look down on us, but the reality is much worse -- they actually don't think about us at all.
EXT. OCEANIA - DAY
AUSTRALIA notices NEW ZEALAND getting ready to launch Tom Cruise across the Tasman.
AUSTRALIA
Okay, New Zealand, you wanna point
that somewhere else?
NEW ZEALAND
You better not try and stop me.
AUSTRALIA
No. No stopping. I'm just here for the
view. Hey look, Indonesia.
NEW ZEALAND
Go away.
AUSTRALIA
Never gonna happen.
NEW ZEALAND
You think I won't use this arrogant
movie star?
AUSTRALIA
I don't know, New Zealand, I'm just --
NEW ZEALAND
Stop doing that!
AUSTRALIA
Doing what?
NEW ZEALAND
Stop saying my name like we're friends.
We're not friends. You all think I'm an
idiot. A short idiot.
AUSTRALIA
I don't. I mean, I think Tom Cruise
is a short idiot, but you... I don't
think about you much at all.
Most people here don't. Bugs you,
doesn't it? You've got all this pain,
all these feelings and nobody's
paying attention.
NEW ZEALAND
You think I just want attention?
AUSTRALIA
No, I think you're weilding Tom Cruise
because you want to blend in.
Believe it or not, New Zealand, I
understand. About the pain.
NEW ZEALAND
Oh, right. 'Cause the burden of being
beautiful and lucky, that's a crippler.
AUSTRALIA
I'm sorry, I was wrong. You are an idiot.
My life happens very occasionally to
suck beyond the telling of it. More than
I can stand sometimes. And not just me.
Every single country is ignoring your pain
because they're way too busy with their own.
The beautiful ones, the popular ones, the ones
that pick on you... everyone.
