Trouble in Paradigm

Crew & actors notes

**Scene in The Magic Box**

FILLER IN SCENE

**Note to wardrobe- Put S.M.G in pastels again and you're all fired. Also do something with E.D's leathers as the creaking is messing with the sound**

 

*Faith catches B looking at her for the 10th time*

Faith: WHAT?

Buffy: Nothing.

Faith: You keep staring.

Buffy: You wish!

Faith : Well actually B...

*Faith crosses her arms and put her feet on the table mid sentence and Giles interupts her mid-flow*

**Note to E.D & A.S.H. Remember subtext timing tips we went through last time**

Giles: Feet!

*Faith looks at her feet*

Faith: Yeah?

Buffy: He means 'no feet on the table'

*Faith doesn't move*

Buffy: He wont make you a cup of Earl Grey if you make him mad you know.

*Faith rolls her eyes and pushes her own feet off the table. Her heavy boots land on the floor with a thump*

**Note to SoundFX dept. Please don't just drop a box of nails on gravel like you did last time. There IS NO gravel in the Magic Box!**

Giles: Thank you Faith, now I've been researching that Demon you encountered yesterday, seems it isn't evil per se.

Faith: It's not an evil Percy? Is this language barrier ever gonna let up? What the crap is one of them?

**Boom switch to SMG to catch laughter, cut off before she starts her usual snort towards the end please**

 

*Giles removes his glasses and cleans them, an exhausted look on his face*

**Note to Props dept. Please, please give A.S.H glass in the frames this time, the shot wont work without it**

 

Giles: Per se?! Per se?! Do you ever manage to retain any information that I supply you?

 

**Note to cameraman. Get a close shot of E.D fiddling with her nails and then pan out for body shot of her paying no attention.**

**Note to make-up. Lots of blusher on E.D's cleavage for this shot please**

Faith: Huh?

Giles: There's my point!

*Buffy stops picking at the edge of a book and looks up*

Buffy: What's an Evil Percy?

Giles: Am I talking to myself?

*There's silence in the Magic Box while the two Slayers look at each other*

**Note to sound. TOTAL silence needed. Please remember that total silence does not include the distant sound of sneezing a la Episode 2**

Faith: As you're the only one listening then I guess so.

Buffy: We're Slayers. You're read-y book Watcher. We encounter, fight and kill!

Faith: Go Team Slayers!

*Faith slams her fist down on the table hard to punctuate her point*

**Note to Props. Check that table has been fixed properly this time and can withstand it. Our insurance premiums are high enough without another 'Table Incident'**

Giles: I give up!

**Note to cameraman. Close up on Giles' face looking weary and tired. No extra make up needed**

**End of scene**

 

Sarah: God, I need a cig, you coming?

Eliza: Can you help me up? I swear these pants are gonna kill me. They may as well paint them on.

*Sarah helps Eliza to her feet and looks her up and down in a feral way*

Eliza: Hey! Cut it out.

Sarah: I'm just looking! Jeez, panic frenzy!

Eliza: All we need is some crazy fan with a camera to have gotten onto the set, one snap at your face lusting all over me and I'm shipped of to star in Angel, girlfriend!

Sarah: They'd never get rid of you baby, someone has to be the slut bomb, and Willow just ain't cutting it for me.

*Sarah and Eliza link arms and start to walk off set*

Sarah's hand slips down to Eliza's butt.

Eliza: SARAH?!

Sarah: What? I'm just practicing that subtext again.

*Eliza rolls her eyes as they both walk out into the sunset
