S. Jonze: So we want to shoot this green screen stuff early, you know, so the effects team has time to do all their shit, y’know?
D. Glover: Dig it.
S. Jonze: We’ll start with the lady sitting across from you… And… action.
D. Glover. Riggs? Riggs riggs riggs.
S. Jonze: Wait, cut, what?
D. Glover: More lady like?
S. Jonze: No, the delivery was fine. You know, why don’t we try the waiter first. Simple, straight forward. Ease you into it.
D. Glover: Cool, I got it.
S. Jonze: And… action.
D. Glover: Riggs riggs?
S. Jonze: CUT!
D. Glover: You know, I’m not used to working in front of a green screen.
S. Jonze: Sure, green screen jitters. Actors get them all the time. Tell you what, let’s shoot YOU first. YOU. Danny Glover. GLOVER. YOU. The part where you scream your own name. Can you do that much?
D. Glover: Of course.
S. Jonze: Okay. And… action.
D. Glover: [Shakes head slowly.] …RIGGS!!!
S. Jonze: CUT CUT CUT!!
D. Glover: I think I needed a bigger pause at the beginning.
S. Jonze: I think you’re right. Tell you what, take the afternoon off. I, uh, don’t think this shade of green on the green screen is going to work. We have to repaint it.
D. Glove: Cool. See you tomorrow.
S. Jonze: Yes, tomorrow. [Turns to C. Kaufman.] The rumors are true! Now what?
[C. Kaufman pulls out a large stovepipe hat, reaches in, and pulls out a slip of paper.]
C. Kaufman: John Malkovich?
S. Jonze: Why not?
