Lina Lamont:
Oh, Pierre! You shouldn't have come!
Recorder:
She's gotta talk into the mike. I can't pick it up.
Roscoe Dexter:
CUT!!
Don Lockwood:
What's the matter, Dexter?
Roscoe Dexter:
It's Lina! Look, Lina, don't you remember? I told you. There's a microphone right there in the bush.
Lina Lamont:
Yeah.
Roscoe Dexter:
You have to talk into it.
Lina Lamont:
I was talking. Wasn't I, Mrs. Dinsmore?
Dinsmore:
Yes, my dear. But please remember, round tones. "Pierre, you shouldn't have come!"
Lina Lamont:
"Pierre, you shouldn't have come!"
Dinsmore:
Yes, yes, my dear. That's much better.
Roscoe Dexter:
Hold it a second! Now, Lina, look. Here's the mike, right here in the bush.
Lina Lamont:
Yeah!
Roscoe Dexter:
Now you talk towards it. The sound goes through the cable to the box. A man records it on a big record in wax. But, you have to talk into the mike first. In the bush! Now, try it again.
Lina Lamont:
Gee, this is dumb.
Don Lockwood:
She'll get it, Dexter. Lina, don't worry. We're all a little nervous on the first day. Everything's gonna be okay. Oh, Roscoe! You know the scene where I say, "Imperious princess of the night?" I don't like those lines there. Is it okay if I say what I always do? "I love you, I love you, I love you!"
Roscoe Dexter:
Sure. Anyway, it's comfortable. BUT, INTO THE BUSH!! Okay, again! QUIET!! ROLL 'EM!!
