All language subtitles for The Athena s01e12 Everygirl

Close your eyes for a moment and think
about your wardrobe.

I bet there's something in there that
just feels right.

It feels like it sums up who you are.

It may not be the most expensive or
current thing you own, but wearing it,

just makes you feel a bit taller, a bit
cooler.

And it's not perfect, but it's perfect
for you. And now you can face the world.

That feeling.

That is what I'm going for.

It's a lot to ask a pair of jeans.

Can you make someone feel good about
themselves and the world?

See, they won't even answer me.

But they will.

And they'll get me a place in the mid
-year show.

Nyla, hey.

Hey.

You working late?

Yeah, I was...

Our timing is way off.

We are so out of practice.

Can I come for a nap?

Um, okay.

But how would we even start?

Well, talking's basically an exchange of
information, so... Okay.

So, tell me something.

I've gone off crisps.

How can a person go off crisps? I don't
know. It just happened. I woke up one

morning and I thought, I no longer like
crisps. But...

You can't just go off crisps. There are
so many different kinds of crisps. Sure,

go off plain, okay, but there's salt and
vinegar, there's cheese balls.

How can you go off cheese balls?

No, you're right. I didn't fully
consider all the different varieties of

See? What would you do without me?

I'd give almost anything to get a piece
in the media show.

Yeah, that whole...

Best and brightest Athena has to offer
thing makes it seriously tempting.

I'm going to have them at school.

Yeah.

Because even if you can't act, you still
get to be an angel in the Christmas

show.

We'll write it to the end to stay
connected.

Don't wish it all away.

I hope we'll always stay electric

friends. Lexi, no.

That was the best idea I've had all
morning.

You only just woke up. No, I've been up
a whole ten minutes. And my first idea

was to adopt a koala, but...

This is better. Better than adopting a
koala?

That doesn't seem possible.

It does seem... Look what I found at the
agency last night.

I was waiting for Denise and I was
bored, so I... Dole it.

Borrowed it.

It's got all the agency's private notes
on us.

Note the word private.

Don't you want to know what they say
about us? I don't really know.

I think I'll be back.

You're still models. How bad can it be?

Considering how things are going for me
right now, pretty bad.

Ooh. More cutting than I expected.

I mean, this girl looks great.

OMG.

They call me a manic pixie dream girl.

It is perfect. I am a lot like a pixie
because I have really good hearing.

Wait, but you said this is from last
year.

Am I in it?

Why do you care?

I'm not a model anymore.

I don't care.

I'm just... I'm just curious.

I'm an every girl.

That's really good. It means you look
like the girl next door, but kind of not

because you're much prettier.

Like the girl next door in a Hollywood
movie.

Doesn't that just mean I'm ordinary?

No. I'm a question mark.

Not an every girl or a pixie, just a
question mark.

They don't even know what to say about
me.

Oh.

I hate getting the bus.

It always smells bad.

And that girl over there had an I don't
wear deodorant look about her.

Nyla!

Pay attention to me! I'm mocking the
proletariat!

Sorry.

Wait, when did you learn that word?

The mid -year show is your chance to
prove you deserve to be here.

I'll be speaking to each discipline.

Some of you will get a piece chosen,
some won't.

The work you've been developing should
showcase your specialism, your voice.

And as fashion students, you'll be
wearing it too.

Now, art should reflect its maker, and
this piece should, in a way that nothing

else has so far.

OK, that's my spiel done. Now show me
where you're at.

Nisha, you start.

I've made a dress out of money. It's
reflective of how my parents have

giving me any because they suck.

Also... Consumerism. Oh, whatever.

But it'll certainly say something about
you.

OK, Jamie.

I'm making a suit out of old computer
components.

Both my parents were in tech, so, like,
the little bits of metal, they made me.

Impressive.

Um, Naomi. I went to this perfect beach
one summer holiday and I just fell in

love. Now, I can't live on it, but I can
wear it as a hat.

Yes, you can.

Nyla.

Yeah, I've been working on a pair of
jeans.

Jeans?

Okay. Why?

Because jeans are...

Because it seemed

like a good idea at the time.

Please stop doing that.

The hammer was next to the yogurt, and
it's just so confusing.

They have nothing in common. Okay, but a
question mark.

It's not as bad as you think.

Know what Denise said when she signed
me? That a model has to convey something

in a single image.

There's just no room for confusion. No
question marks.

It's going to get better.

I work in a college cafe, and I'm
sleeping on a sofa.

You can share my room.

Really? I thought you were still mad at
me.

I was, but... But now you just feel
sorry for me.

No.

Besides, you might get more modelling
work. Have you checked your phone

recently?

No. So check it.

I have an email from Denise. I have a
job today.

How do you know?

I have magic powers because I'm a pixie.

I'm OK.

Not everyone's going to go big.

Sam's work is always small and intimate.

Except when it's really not.

I've saved every tin of soup I've had
since I got here, melting down my dish.

Honest question, is this too much?

Honestly, no.

It's amazing.

You built a cupboard?

I want to trap people and make them
suffer.

Go inside.

What if I don't want to be trapped?

Or suffer?

You're my friend.

You have your choice.

They're people we usually ignore.

We see them and walk away.

Exactly.

I wanted to make something that forces
people to look.

I'm working on a lock for the door.

How are your genes going?

Easy to ignore.

Oh, they would go perfectly inside your
cupboard.

Hi, I'm Me Too Lee. I'm here for the
obsessive shoot. You're the replacement

model?

I didn't know I was a replacement, but
yeah.

I hate when the agency does this.

Casper Conway, head designer for the new
obsessives range.

And you are not what I had in mind.

Still, time is tight. Let's try and make
this work.

You look nervous, and the obsessive
brain isn't nervous.

That's mild.

I'm looking for something bigger than a
smile.

Like this?

Yeah, but no.

I'm thinking, where's the integrity in
that smile?

Maybe if you can tell me what kind of
girl you had in mind?

Someone who doesn't give a damn.

But she's happy about not giving a damn.

She is who she is.

She'd go in places while being
completely still.

She exists somewhere between reality and
a dream.

Can you explain what that looks like?

No.

If you can't exist in two realities at
once, how can you ever expect to be a

mod? Wait, I can totally nail the
between reality and a dream look.

But you can't be the girl I asked for.

What even is it?

It's supposed to be amazing. It's like
this immersive theatre thing. What time

do we have to participate?

Oh, I knew you wouldn't want to go.

I don't understand why you do.

I heard they're set to science school,
and I need last -minute inspiration.

No, you don't. I've seen your brain
prototype. It's amazing.

Your actual brain, on the other hand,
is... Hey!

Can I come?

With me?

Well... I need to find my inner weird,
and from what I've heard about immersive

theatre, seems like a pretty good place
to start.

You don't need to find anything. You're
plenty weird.

You basically stalked me into liking
you.

That was not weird. That was tenacious.

And the tenacious make really good
theatre companions.

Then, we should get out of here.

Starts at four.

This is the worst part of my job.

Denise is dropping me from the agency,
isn't she?

She doesn't even have the decency to do
it herself.

I left my home for this.

I left my family.

Because Denise told me if I signed with
her, I'd be on the cover of Vogue within

a year.

When she signed you, she said you're
type within.

I didn't know I had a type.

Right. Am I not in now?

His industry is fickle.

It decides what beautiful is and then
the next week changes its mind. And

me and other girls like me doubting
themselves because of it.

I don't want to talk anymore. I just
want to go home and be with my Lexi.

she shouldn't be too long the obsessive
shit vaps at four.

She was the model they wanted.

She asked you to send me instead.

I guess redheads must be in right now.

Feeling ready to tell an underpaid actor
your deepest thoughts?

Not in any way.

That's the spirit.

When I was seven I stole a kitten.

Everybody lies.

Tell me something I don't know.

Your secrets make you who you are.

Do you think that's true?

No.

At least I hope not.

I already shared the kitten thing.

One time I missed a shoot and I told
them I was ill, but really I'd just

overslept.

Hey, just because you have a pen doesn't
mean you get to judge.

I heard what happened.

How many times have you done it, Lexi,
passing your jobs on to me?

Twice.

You needed the money so I... So you made
me think that I was good enough to get

work on my own.

But you lied to me.

Not big lies. And they were for a good
cause. It doesn't count.

It does count because I thought things
were going okay.

And they're not.

I thought you were my best friend.

But you're not.

So, what do you reckon is the point of
this room?

Probably to, like, reveal our true
selves to us.

My true self is bored.

My true self needs some better secrets.

You don't need them.

Are you joking?

The last act that you warned in my face.

Secrets don't make a person interesting.

It makes them a good liar.

It's not something I like about myself.

So, tell me something true.

I've got people I hang out with, but
I've never had any real friends.

Never?

Things start off as friendship, but then
it gets messy.

I don't think it's because I'm bi.

I think it's because I'm me.

I'm just not great at platonic.

Whoa. That is a lot of new information
to process.

It's not a big thing.

Sam knows.

When did you know?

Twelve?

Thirteen? Something like that.

I think when I was twelve I was still
playing with dolls.

People develop at different ages.

Right. But what if I hadn't developed?

What if I'm still this ordinary girl
destined for an ordinary life?

That's a depressing thought. And
depressing thoughts suck.

So? Do you want to go full face back to
who can't talk back?

Okay, sure.

But only briefly. Because after that, I
need to work on being less ordinary.

Hey, so Tori said you're freaking.

Something about being ordinary, which
you're not.

Not anymore.

I am making a huge skirt out of plastic.

Okay, but dude, this isn't you.

Maybe it is.

I don't know.

I wish I was more like you. You're so,
I'm Lee, take it or leave it. I'm not a

robot, I get confused.

But your work is so clear.

Right, my work is. And you can't ignore
it.

So I need to make something that can't
be ignored.

Close your eyes and think of your
wardrobe.

I bet there's something in there that
makes you feel like a completely

person.

That's what I'm going for today.

By the end of today, you'll know who has
a piece in the mid -year show and who

doesn't. Can we talk later?

I thought you already know.

What if I promise to bring popcorn?

It's never easy deciding who makes the
cut, so I'll be considering it after

you've shown your work and I'll be
posting the results on the College

Board at 5pm.

Okay, there's good technical ability on
show here.

Just not playing to your strengths.

Can you explain?

This isn't you.

You should have done something that
reflected the... What is it?

You know, the every girl quality that
you have.

I just didn't want to be ordinary.

Nyla, if you were ordinary, you wouldn't
be here.

You have the ability to design clothes
that make every girl feel good.

No matter who she is.

But this piece is not your voice.

Hey, don't...

What happened?

I tried to be someone else.

It didn't work out very well.

I really hated you at first.

Is this you trying to cheer me up?

Basically, yes.

See, I thought you were this girl who
had everything.

But now I know better.

You've got all these insecurities, and
you don't take it out on other people.

You still manage to be nice.

Nice is ordinary.

No, it's not.

Hardly anyone's nice.

People are just out there for
themselves.

Nowadays, nice is unique.

I wish I was nice.

You are.

If that was true, I think I'd have been
proper friends.

We pulled faces at that actor for over
half an hour. Does that mean nothing to

you?

Yeah, you're right.

We experienced the worst immersive
theatre ever. Now our bond can never be

broken.

What is it?

I'm still not nice, though.

Someone nice wouldn't get back with
their boyfriend and then cheat on him

You won't tell, will you?

No, I... No, I would never.

You know, it feels good to have said it
out loud.

It's like I've taken a weight off.

Yeah, and put it on me.

If we know that nothing's forbidden...

Oh, Lexi.

Oh, hi. Hey, hey. Sorry, I can't talk
right now. I'm looking for Miju. Yes, so

am I.

Oh, um, well, I don't know where she is.

Did I say that already? I think she
might have gone back to her family and

leave. Okay, um, I'll look up train
time.

No, wait, she's broke. Look up buses.

Any sign of her?

No.

I'm there.

Excuse me.

Need you, Lee?

Me, Julie, I am so mad at you.

If you want to stop being friends, then
not OK, but OK.

Do not quit your whole life because of
it. My whole life has quit on me.

When I came here, I thought it was a
dream come true.

I didn't realise that after you get your
dream, you have to keep on getting it.

So it's hard becoming a successful
model.

It is hard doing anything worth doing.

You know, the false start and the being
broke.

There's the doubting yourself and having
someone put you in a box.

There's losing your best friend.

Do it anyway, but not quitting is
everything.

How can I? I don't have an agent
anymore.

Yes, you do.

I want to find you. You're beautiful and
talented and the industry needs to

catch up.

So, what do you say?

Yes, it's a yes.

But I already paid for my ticket. Don't
waste the ticket.

Go visit your family and when you get
back...

We'll get to work.

Can I come to Leeds with you?

Why? Because Alexis is for life and not
just for Christmas.

I know I messed up, but I'm pretty
awesome most of the time, so will you

hurry up and forgive me? I'm actually
incapable of staying mad at you, so

I can.

I was pretty tempted by Lee, too, but...
The results are in.

I don't know if you've done the
measurements lately, but my shoulders...

exact right height for your head to lean
on.

Figured you might need it.

You guys all made it.

But... Not me

You're

right your shoulder in my head it's a
perfect fit

We've got this all together, no matter
what they say.

We'll weather any storm and we'll ride
it to the end to stay connected.
