Lights, Camera, Awkward!

_Below is a record of day 78 of filming a Foyerblot production:_


JEXOB: Mind if I sit here, babe?


MEL: Hey, Jexob, right?


JEXOB: Righty-roo, boo.


DIRECTOR: CUT! What the heck was that? Take two. Action.


ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: Rolling.


JEXOB: Mind if I sit here, babe?


MEL: Hey, Jexob, right?


JEXOB: Yup, that’s me! You’re Mel the Majestic, right?


MEL: Ha, I guess you could say so.


JEXOB: So how should we split the bill… I’ll pay for drinks you pay for food?


DIRECTOR: CUT! Have you ever been on a date? This isn’t a business deal. Take three. Action.


ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: Rolling.


JEXOB: Mind if I sit here, babe?


MEL: Hey, Jexob, right?


JEXOB: Yup, that’s me! You’re Mel the Majestic, right?


MEL: Ha, I guess you could say so.


JEXOB: So what is your drink of choice?


MEL: Oh, I don’t drink.


JEXOB: Oh.


WAITER: What can I get you to start out with? Drinks?


JEXOB: The lady and I will have Champagne.


DIRECTOR: CUT! She doesn’t drink… don’t order for her. Take four. Action.


ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: Rolling.


JEXOB: Mind if I sit here, babe?


MEL: Hey, Jexob, right?


JEXOB: Yup, that’s me! You’re Mel the Majestic, right?


MEL: Ha, I guess you could say so.


JEXOB: So what is your drink of choice?


MEL: Oh, I don’t drink.


JEXOB: Oh.


WAITER: What can I get you to start out with. Drinks?


MEL: I’d love some tap water; lemon wedges if you have them.


JEXOB: That’s it? Well in that case I’ll have a Bloody Mary.


WAITER: Very good, sir.


MEL: Your drink of choice is tomato juice with a celery stick? Ew.


DIRECTOR: CUT! We’ll come back to this tomorrow. It is uneccesary to have them improv the scene if we pay people for exactly this. I want new writers like YESTERDAY! And come to think of it, new actors! You all are fired! This is supposed to be a romantic candlelit date not a “try not to cringe” challenge.
