DEVILLE: And in honor of the new venue, we will rename the production!
The new title will be …
(All, except Taylor, hold their breath in anticipation.)
DEVILLE: "Cecil V. DeVille presents: 'Manger Magnificence! A Seasonal
Spectacular!'"
(Everyone except Taylor cheers.)
DEVILLE: Thank you, thank you! But we have no time to lose now! Let's
rehearse! Wise Men scene! Places! And … ACTION!
(The three wise men begin walking toward them pantomiming as if
they're riding camels, followed by a procession of gift holder
servants behind them, also pretending as if they're riding camels.)
DEVILLE: CUT! Where are their camels?
BAILEY: They're being painted brown, Mr. DeVille.
DEVILLE: Well, I guess we can't rehearse the camel's dance number. Oh
well, moving on. Wise Men, I notice that you've never had very
many lines in the past. That won't do, the audience needs to
care about you as people. So, let me hear the new lines I've
written for you. Annnnd … ACTION!
(The scene continues where it left off.)
WISE MAN 1: We have come from the east, following a star, to give you
messages of our wisdom.
WISE MAN 2: "A penny saved is a penny earned."
WISE MAN 3: "Never run with scissors."
DEVILLE: CUT! Perfect! Moving on to the next scene!
TAYLOR: Seriously? You thought that was perfect?
DEVILLE: You've just got to see it with the dancing camels, it'll be a
show-stopper!
TAYLOR: (to the side) I'm thinking this show might need to be stopped.
DEVILLE: Excuse me?
