Mr. Donovan: sighs, pinching bridge of nose So, you thought "Dupilxent: For Flawless Friends" was clever? Fix it. Now.
I knew him the moment I entered his studio. His eyes were all red. He's been awake for days at this point. Hey buddy! Sorry about the schedule change, I know we agreed on one time but something came up. Can we schedule this on Tuesday at 1pm? We'll start the shoot at 11am.
Oh, how convenient! You don't have time to meet with me, but you had time to change the schedule. Nice to see priorities straight. But fine, I can work with that. Just make sure it gets done and done right. And no more surprises.
You better, or there will be hell to pay. Remember, I didn't get where I am by tolerating mediocrity. Now get out of my sight and make sure everything is perfect by Tuesday. And bring me some coffee. Black, no sugar.
I grabbed the keys to my car and ran out the door.

Good. Now, let's go over the script for the next shoot and make sure there are no more changes. I don't want any more surprises. And remember, every detail has to be perfect. No mistakes. Got it?
Of course sir. I'm going to head back to the studio and prepare for the next shoot.
