THE SCENE
Crais and Aeryn are working
in Talyn's command.
WHAT WENT WRONG!
CLAUDIA: I've taken propulsion
off-line to optimize the energy transfer rate. I'm hoping that
it will ease his pain, and speed the recovery process. (pauses
and turns to the DIRECTOR) I'm not sure about that line at all.
Do you think maybe I should say, 'The propulsion is off-line'?
BEN: Hey! Cut that out!
CLAUDIA: (innocently) What?
BEN: You know perfectly well
what you're doing?!
CLAUDIA: I'm sorry Ben, but
I'm just concerned about the quality of writing.
BEN: The quality is just fine!
You're just jealous cos The Kemper threw out your My Little Pony
script!
CLAUDIA: Am so not!
BEN: Just accept it, sweetcheeks,
I got to write an ep first. And it's damned good too! The Kemper
didn't have to do a single re-write!
KEMPER: That's not strictly
true, Ben. There was the 'death' scene.
CLAUDIA: (crosses her arms
across her chest) Death scene?
BEN: (gulps) Yeah, um....
KEMPER: Look, it doesn't matter,
ok?! The scene was cut. Aeryn will not be getting eaten by any
crazed Plokavians! Can we please just get on with the scene?!
CLAUDIA: Eaten?! You bastard,
Ben!
BEN: Hey! That's on the list!
(runs over to messageboard) Number 254!
KEMPER: I'm sorry, Claudia.
You know the rules.
CLAUDIA: But-?
BEN: Oh no! No 'buts' honeybuns!
CLAUDIA: I refuse!
KEMPER: You like your job,
Claudia?
CLAUDIA: (stamps her foot)
Ok! Damnit!
BEN: (giggles)
CLAUDIA: (breathes deeply)
Ben, I am truly sorry for calling you a 'weasly bastard'.
BEN: Hey!
KEMPER: Let her finish!
CLAUDIA: (groans) It was wrong
of me. You are a fi- (pauses) I can't do it!
KEMPER: Claudia!
CLAUDIA: Allright! (speaks
very quickly and quietly) Ben Browder is a fine actor adored
by many and a very nice man too. (stares at KEMPER) That ok?
BEN: No, it's not! I could
barely hear her!
KEMPER: It'll do! Now, the
scene?
BEN: Damnit!
DIRECTOR: Ok, people. As you
were... and action!
CLAUDIA: I've taken propulsion
off-line to optimize the energy transfer rate. I'm hoping that
it will ease his pain, and speed the recovery process. (pauses)
Energy transfer rate? Is that a misprint?
