Actor 1: "...that came out weird. Hang on, let me try again (clears throat) Yeah, no problem!"
Actor 2: "Those are two VERY DIFFERENT vibes!"
Actor 1: "I'm just saying, I don't mind either way!"
Director: "Alright, fine... let's just... get through with it. Everyone in position!"

Actor 2: (SLAP!)
Actor 1: (stays still for a beat longer) ...well, there was no need for that, was there?
Director: And... CUT!
