"Cut! Could you say it less sarcastic? You're are supposed to be playing my wife."
"You do realize they only say cut in movies right?"
"Fine, pause, break, I don't care. Talk to me like you love me."
"In what universe does a wife who actually uses the phrase 'honey I'm home' love her husband? It's called reading between the lines."
"Well stop reading between the lines and read the lines!"
"Alrighty, I think that's enough rehearsal for today," Mrs. Flemming cut in.
"But we haven't gotten through the whole play yet."
"And it's the dress rehearsal. The play is this weekend."
"I'm well aware, but we can't even get through page one without you two fighting how do you expect to get through all 100."
"How? It's been two months now and you still haven't managed to be civil once. I'm going to have to send in your understudies! They maybe as bland as white on bread but at least they can make it through one scene together."
"No, I am not playing second fiddle to Elena Gilbert!"
"I heard that!" her friend chimed in from backstage.
"Yeah, and I'm not giving up lead to Damon Salvatore. He doesn't even know the lines."
"Well, I'm out of options. The only other thing I can do is switch your partners."
"No!" They screamed simultaneously.
"Either you two get along, or give up your roles."
"I'd like to add," Damon chimed in, "why don't you two just fuck and get it over with."
"Am I going to have to give you detention Mr. Salvatore?"
"I'm just saying what we're all thinking. Once they loosen up maybe we can get through this play."
"Use protection," she said grudgingly and left the room to take several asprin for the headache that had transpired.
