The Fools on the Hill1986

[over the studio talkback intercom, after the final rehearsal before the first transmission]

Cecil Madden:
Leslie, you were wrong. You don't look at all petrified.

Leslie Mitchell:
Well I could *see* my hands shaking.

Cecil Madden:
They're not in shot.

Leslie Mitchell:
My jowls were quivering. Lolloping about.

Cecil Madden:
Not noticeable, Leslie. The camera's shaking at the same tempo so it cancels it out. Sorry, Cameras! That was a joke. Everything's under control. Oh God!

[he drops his notes and scripts on the floor]
