Director: Cut! Cut! You two are going off script!
Gaston: Nobody ad libs like Gaston!
Director: Ugh.

Maurice: AAAAAHHHHHHHH! (screams, waving around hand trapped inside of clock case) GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!
Cogs: I CAN'T! IT'S STUCK!
Director: *groan* Cut. Cut! Somebody get me a prybar.
Cogs: NO PRYBAR! NO! NO! MAURICE, DON'T LET HIM NEAR ME!
"Maurice in the Castle" take 2
(door tears open, fire blows out, beast emerges)
Maurice: I just wanted a place to stay!
Beast: I'll give you a place to stay.
Maurice (lifting hands to cover his face): No! (Cogs, still stuck to his hand, accidentally hits him in the head) OW! (falls down cold)
Beast: What the %*(%?
Cogs: Oops.
Director: Get an ambulance and give Maurice the rest of the day off. He won't be doing any more acting for a while.
"Tavern" take 1
LeFou: More beer?
Gaston: Sure! (takes mug from LeFou and starts chugging) Wait, this isn't real beer! This tastes like WATER!
Stagehand: That's because it IS water, duh. We're acting.
Director: And you weren't supposed to drink it. Did you even read your script?
Gaston: Yeah, but I thought that I could do it better. No one improvises like Gaston!
Director: Cut.
"Tavern" take 2
LeFou: More beer?
Gaston: Aargh, nothing helps. (throws "beer" on the fire, fire splutters out)
LeFou: It wasn't supposed to do that.
Stagehand: But water puts out fires. Duh. And the script says that Gaston is supposed to throw his drink into the fireplace.
Director: Holy ****. How are we ever going to make this scene work?
"Tavern" take 3
Stagehand: Are you sure this will work?
Director: Yes. 3, 2, 1, action!
LeFou: More beer?
Gaston: Aargh, nothing helps. (throws "beer" on fire, fire blazes bright yellow and scorches the nearby wood)
Gaston: Why does it smell like gasoline in here?
Director: That's it; we're done. (puts down megaphone and walks out the door without looking back)
