 　　Martin: Okay, quiet on the set! What are the extras doing over there? They’re not in this scene.

 

　　Stephanie: Sorry, I’ll get them off the set. Is this the lighting¹ you wanted for this scene? If not, I can tell the lighting crew.

 

　　Martin: The lighting is fine, but this staging is all wrong. And can somebody turn off those sound effects? We’re not using them in this scene.

 

　　Stephanie: I’ll get right on that.

 

　　Martin: Where is the cast?

 

　　Stephanie: They’re on break because they thought we wouldn’t resume shooting until two o'clock.

 

　　Martin: That’s great! I have no cast, the sets are all wrong, I have extras milling around where they shouldn’t be, and where is my script?

 

　　Stephanie: It’s right here on your chair. Are you sure you don’t want to call it a day and start again in the morning?

 

　　Martin: I wish I had that luxury. Time is money and we’re already way over budget. I’ll be lucky if I still have the shirt on my back when this production is over!
