[Have an amused little smile, Atlee]

Not to kill your fun, because that's seriously the last thing I want to do, but I don't think anyone actually believes that accent. Sorry. It was a good try though.

W-What are you talking about? That's how everyone back home talks!

Mhmm. Of course it is. You know, Steve Irwin isn't the only Australian in the world. He's just one and he's definitely not the standard for them. [Nope. Not falling for it]

Of course I know that! I am an Australian!

In that case, you'll be able to answer this question with no problem! What's the capital of Australia?

The...capital?

Capital...capital...

[She seems to be concentrating veeeerrrry hard.]

Well Sydney's a really important city...

Ooh, so close. But you're right, Sydney is important. It's one of Australia's major cities. But it's not the capital. Good guess though.

Like I said, no one's gonna buy the Australian bit. So if you want an alternate identity, you might want to pick a different one.

But...but...no one ever questioned it back home!

I'm willing to bet most people were just being polite. Or they didn't feel like questioning you. I guess it kinda depends where you were living back home.

New York City.

That would be why. I'm from New York too. People tend not to question things there. You would be far from the weirdest thing running around that city.

Oh, it's not that at all. Don't get discouraged. If you hadn't been putting on that show? I never would have known that there was anything up with you. The key is, you have to find one that works for you. And it might help to brush up on facts about the place you're pretending to be from.

Well, it's not my fault there's nothing good on TV about Australia!

[Someone should teach her how to books. Geez.]

TV is a terrible way to learn things. Most of it is rarely based on actual facts. Unless you're watching the History or Discovery channels.

I watch those...sometimes...

And TV is an excellent way to understand culture! It shows how people act!
