IVAN- “Wow, that is great Zhang, I loved the ad-lib in that, and your delivery was spot on!”

EZRA- “Really? Thanks!”

KIP- “I think it is obvious who we want, Ivan.”

DUSTIN- “Serious, in one fucking scene, that’s all I get?”

IVAN- “Yeah, Dustin, I think we are going to go with Ezra, but stick around, I have a hell of a lot of other parts to cast. Come to the studio tomorrow morning and I can use you.  As for you Ezra, I need you to go over to hair and make up and let them turn you into Tag Lange....Johnny Marlboro’s rookie partner!”

DUSTIN- “So is he going to show, or am I just wasting my time?”

IVAN- “He will be here, just relax.”

KIP- (Offstage) “I’m here, I think you need to realize right now, who the star of this show is.....

KIP- (in character) “I didn’t ask for you to be my partner, just so you know...I’m the lead detective on this case and you are MY partner. Got it?”

DUSTIN- (in Character) “You’re the nut job Marlboro, not me.  I’m here to do my job and catch this perp, with or without you. So you need to realize we are PARTNERS...

KIP- “Do you know just how many PERPS I have caught? I’ve been doing this since you were in High School, so I take the lead and you follow and learn. “

DUSTIN- “I think your badge says detective, just like mine does. Which make us equals.  If we are going to work together I need to know you got my back.  I don’t want to be another dead partner!”
