TEXT
SCENE ONE: STUDIO - DIANA'S LIYING ROOM SET
STEVEN: I didn't sleep last night.
Maybe I slept a few hours, but not many.
I dreamed about sweaters.
I worried about props and costumes .
We need a treaty.
We need some shoes.
A key.
We also need some pajamas. . .
some pants. . .
a hat,
a raincoat,
and some scissors. . .
And I never told Rita to buy the scissors.
LINDA: Is everything going OK?
STEVEN: Perfect.
Couldn't be better.
Really great, Linda.
LINDA: That's good news.
I'm going to sit over there and watch.
STEVEN: Relax. Have some coffee.
We're going to begin in a few minutes.
STEVEN: Rita!
RITA: Yeah?
STEVEN: We need some scissors.
RITA: I have them, Steven.
STEVEN: Oh, Rita, that's great.
Thank you, Rita.
RITA: Sure, Steven.
I have a question about Detective Stone's glasses.
STEVEN: His glasses?
RITA: Does he wear any?
STEVEN: Does Detective Stone wear glasses?
RITA: Yes. Does he?
STEVEN: Hmmmm. . . Yes.
The detective wears glasses.
RITA: Oh, no.
STEVEN: What's the matter?
RITA: Well, I bought him some glasses ,
but they don't fit right.
STEVEN: What's wrong with them?
RITA: They're too big.
What are we going to do?
JEFF: Can I make a suggestion?
STEVEN: What is it, Jeff?
JEFF: Forget about the glasses.
STEVEN: Right. Good idea.
MARY BETH: Thanks, Jeff. . .
We're late.
I have to leave at five.
My baby sitter is expecting me to come home.
JEFF: And I have a date.
LINDA: I'm getting very nervous.
STEVEN: Everything's fine.
LINDA: We're two hours behind.
STEVEN: OK. . . Action!
DIANA: But Detective Stone,
I want to know what the police are going to do about my uncle's murder.
DETECTIVE STONE: It takes a little time, Miss Morris.
I have other cases I'm working on too.
TONY: We don't have a little time,
Detective Stone!
STEVEN: Cut. Jeff, the line is,
"We don't have much time,
Detective Stone!". . .
Take it from the top.
Jeff, concentrate.
DETECTIVE STONE: It takes a little time, Miss Morris.
I have other cases I'm working on too.
TONY: We don't have much time,
Detective Stone.
STEVEN: Cut.
TONY: We don't have much time,
Detective Stone.
STEVEN: Cut. It's not right. . .
Can I hear the line again, please?
JEFF: I don't think I can say it again.
This is the tenth time already.
STEVEN: Try.
TONY: We don't have much time!
STEVEN: Can you do it one more time?
JEFF/TONY: We don't have much time.
We don't have much time.
We don't have much time!
STEVEN: Great!
OK. That's all.
Thank you very much.
LINDA: We don't have much time.
STEVEN: Don't worry, Linda.
These things happen.
Jeff is OK.
I have an idea.
Don't worry about a thing.
