BY THE DIRECTOR:
...No, today is the tech rehearsal, we'll re-work that scene later.
...I think the scene changes are too fast.
...Of course I think we'll be ready in time for opening night.
...The crew? Why they're just wonderful!
...No thanks, I don't drink.
BY THE STAGE MANAGER:
...It looks as though there'll be time for a third dress rehearsal.
...Take your time getting back from break.
...We've been ready for hours.
...The headsets are working perfectly.
...The cue lights are working perfectly.
...The orchestra has no complaints.
...The whole company is standing by whenever you want them.
...That didn't take long.
...No thanks, I don't drink.
BY THE PRODUCER:
...Of course there's enough money to go around.
...We have money left over.
...Of course we understand that you're busy and can't work the concession stand at the concert.
...We made so much money last year we can buy the cast and crew shirts this year.
...And pay for everyone's video, too!
...An extra $1000 for the set? No problem!
...No thanks, I don't drink.
BY THE DESIGNERS:
...Yes, it absolutely is my fault that the set looks awful.
...You know, you might have a point there.
...The director knows best, obviously I wasn't giving her what she wants.
...Of course the costumes will be ready on time.
...No thanks, I don't drink.
BY THE TECHNICAL DIRECTOR:
...This is the most complete and informative set of drawings I've ever seen.
...We built it right the first time.
...No problem, I'll deal with that right away.
...I love designers.
...No thanks, I don't drink.
BY THE ACTORS:
...Don't...let's not talk about me.
...I really think my big scene should be cut.
...This costume is SO comfortable!
...I love my shoes.
...No problem. I can do that for myself.
...Let me stand down here with my back to the audience.
...Without the crew, the show would never run- let's thank them.
...No thanks, I don't drink.
BY THE STAGE CREW:
...There's room for that over here.
...We'll get in early tomorrow to do it.
...No, no. I'm sure that is our job.
...Anything I can do to help?
...All the tools are carefully locked away.
...Can we do that scene change again please?
...It's a marvelous show.
...I don't need this many on the crew.
...No thanks, I don't drink.
BY THE THEATRE MANAGER:
...No, please. That's far to much rent.
...Let me buy you a drink.
