Director: Brody, there you are!
You need to have a conversation with Buff McKenzie to talk about ideas and thoughts for his pirate costume.
Buff McKenzie: I need a pair of boo…
Brody: But, but, but…
Director: Don’t interrupt Brody, let Buff finish what he's saying.
Buff McKenzie: Trousers please, trousers?
Director: Hey Brody, you have to show interest if the conversation is going to work!
Buff McKenzie: Pass me a pistol!
Brody: I think you should have a sword!
Buff McKenzie: Well I want a pistol!
Brody: But a sword is loads better!
Director: It’s ok to disagree, but don’t let it become an argument!
Buff McKenzie: Where’s my pirate hat?
Brody: What time is lunch?
Director: Er…stay on topic Brody!
Ask relevant questions, like how or why?
That’ll show you’re listening.
Oh dear Brody.
If your conversation skills were better maybe Buff wouldn’t be in the…ahem…Buff!
Member of audience: Wooooo! Fancy pants!
Director: Cut!
