- MINNIE DRIVER'S DREAM IS TO BE ON "DOWNTON ABBEY,"

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS, YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT OR READ IT YET.

SO YOU JUST HAVE TO READ THE TELEPROMPTER

- THIS IS YOUR AUDITION TAPE, SO, UH, READY?

- EXCUSE ME, LADY GWENDERMERE OF WEST BEDFORD APPLEBEE'S.

OF I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTERSWORTH.

- NO, NO. THAT'S BECAUSE MY HAIR MAID TIED MY CORSET TOO TIGHT.

PRAY TELL ME, WHAT BRINGS YOU TO DOWNTON?

- MIGHT I TROUBLE YOU FOR A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME?

I MUST--I MUST SAY, I DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE YOU

TO START CHANGING YOUR ACCENT UNCONTROLLABLY.

- [Australian accent] OH, YES, OF COURSE.

- OH, AND I IMAGINE IT'S BEEN VERY, VERY DIFFICULT

- [Russian accent] YA, IT'S BEEN REAL FUDDY-DUDDY,

EVEN BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, YOU HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE

THEY WOULD FLY UP AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING.

STILL, I AM NOT ALLOWED TO BE AROUND THE GOOD CHINA.

- OH, AND DO YOU STILL BARK LIKE A DOG WHENEVER A BELL RINGS?

I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHY YOU CAME TO SEE ME,

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOUR TROUBLE IS, MY CHILD.

MY BROTHER BRADLEY WAS BATTLED AND BONKED THE BUTLER.

NOW HIS WIFE IS CHUFFED THAT HE'S CHEATING.

SHE'S TAKEN TO TALKING A LOAD OF CODSWALLOP

- [Boston accent] EVEN TALKIN' ABOUT IT IS WICKED HARD.

LOOK FOR MINNIE DRIVER ON THE NEXT SEASON OF "DOWNTON ABBEY."
