"So how about this?" said Amy. "Oh my god, I'm starving! You can see my ribs!"
"Well," said Megan. "It sounded good."
"Okay," said Amy. "Start filming."
"Amy can you get off the stage?" said Megan.
"Isn't it my line?" said Amy.
"Yeah, but I think it would be better if you said it off-screen," said Megan. "The line is more...convincing if the audience can't see you."
"Fine," said Amy.
"Are Beca and Stacie ready?" said Megan.
"I'm good," said Stacie.
"I'm not," said Beca. "I'm still having trouble with my mustache."
"Chloe, can you help Beca with her mustache?" said Megan.
"Sure." Chloe walked over to Beca and began fiddling with her mustache.
"Thanks," said Beca. "I'm good now."
"No," said Chloe. "It's still a bit lopsided."
"No one's gonna notice," said Beca.
"I think they will," said Chloe.
"Chloe, it's fine," said Megan. "Let's start shooting."
"Alright." Chloe walked off stage towards Amy.
"Okay," said Megan. "Let's start with Amy's line."
"Oh my god, I'm starving! You can see my ribs!" said Amy.
"You're fine," said Chloe. "You just need to continue with your treatment."
"Okay Chloe," said Megan. "What's with the English accent?"
"Well she was born in the eighteen hundreds, so I figured she sounded like that," said Chloe.
"She didn't sound like that," said Megan. "She was from Minnesota."
"I can do Minnesota," said Chloe. "Oh, you just need to continue your treatment, don't you know?"
"That better, I guess," said Megan. "Anyways, Stacie it's your line."
Stacie cleared her throat. "Oh Earl, I don't know how long before my treatment starts to work. I wonder if I'm going to-"
"Don't say it," said Beca. "Just the thought of it is enough to fill me heart with-"
"Oh, it's time for lunch, don't you know?" said Chloe.
"What are you doing?" said Megan. "You're not supposed to show up until the next number."
"I'm improvising," said Chloe. "I thought that this is something Hazzard would do."
"I don't think so," said Megan.
"Yeah," said Amy. "She advocated for a no food diet."
"Start from Stacie's line," said Morgan.
Stacie cleared her throat again. "Oh Earl, I don't know how long before my treatment starts to work. I wonder if I'm going to-"
"Don't say it. Just the thought of it is enough to fill me heart with the worst kind of-" Suddenly Chloe started hitting her shoes against the floor.
"Cut," said Megan. "What are you doing Chloe?"
"I'm tap-dancing," said Chloe.
"Tap-dancing?" said Megan. "With sneakers?"
"Yeah," said Chloe. "I know you didn't like my other ideas, but what about this: This whole story could be told through interpretive dance."
"That sounds terrible," said Megan.
"Here, let me talk to Chloe for a bit," said Beca.
Beca took Chloe aside. "Don't you agree that my idea was good?"
"It was interesting," said Beca. "But let's be real here. You don't want me to kiss Stacie."
"That's not true," said Chloe. "I just think it's a bit unnecessary."
"Look Chloe," said Beca. "I'm just acting. It means nothing to me."
"You mean that," said Chloe.
"Yes," said Beca. "It's just gonna be one kiss and that's it."
"I'm sorry," said Chloe. "I was being stupid."
"Don't mention it," said Beca. "You're cute when you get like that."
Beca got back on-stage and finished the scene. Stacie cleared her throat a third time. "Oh Earl, I don't know how long before my treatment starts to work. I wonder if I'm going to-"
"Don't say it," said Beca. "Just the thought of it is enough to fill me heart with the worst kind of sadness."
"I must say it," said Stacie. "If I don't make it, can I have a kiss."
"Yes," said Beca.
The two kissed. "That was good," said Megan.
"Thank god," said Chloe. "I thought we would never finish shooting that scene."
"Yeah that was good," said Megan. "But can we get a few more takes of you two kissing?"
