“Alright, guys. Let’s start from Scene 119… before the action begins. Brad, you feel betrayed. Jenny, you are confused. Ready? Roll it!”
Brad blinked and squinted at the camera. “Um… what’s happening, Jenny?”
Jenny scowled as menacingly as a 100-pound blonde with a midwestern accent could. “How could you do this to me, Brad?”
Harold glanced at his actors with confusion. “Wait a minute, guys. Hold on. Something’s mixed up.”
Brad blinked again.
“Um… who am I again?” Jenny asked blankly.
Harold repressed a sigh. “Brad. You are angry with Jenny, okay? Jennie, you just don’t know what’s going on. This is before the assassins come in. Let’s try it again… roll it!”
“Where are we?” Brad inquired, smiling from ear to ear.
“I don’t know,” she replied, grinning at the camera. “What were we doing?”
“Wait, wait, stop. Jenny, Brad, what’s the problem?”
“Ummm.”
Harold put his head in his hands. “Alright, alright… we’ll come back to this later. Let’s just cut to the chase.”
