00:02Hey.
00:03How's it going?
00:04You were, like, so awesome in Gladiator 2.
00:06Thank you very much.
00:07And look at you, early for table read.
00:09I just normally like to get a feel for the space, you know.
00:12Oh, because you're one of those method guys.
00:14No, no, no. Absolutely not. It's not my style.
00:17Respect.
00:19Oh, Heidi, actually, I think that's my script.
00:21Really? Because I'm pretty sure it's mine.
00:23And so it shall be.
00:27A fight to the death.
00:28What?
00:30For glory!
00:32And for truth!
00:35Uh, I mean, she could just hide her script, man.

00:42Hey, Mikey.
00:43Lauren told me that you wanted to play Don Jr.
00:45I hate to be this guy, but it's kind of my thing.
00:48Oh, absolutely no problem.
00:50It's all yours.
00:52Wow.
00:53What a nice guy.
00:55Yeah, he's such a pro.
00:56Seriously, right?
00:57Man, this week is going to be...
01:00Dead event.
01:01Mikey!
01:04You killed him!
01:05Dude, what the hell?
01:06A man must fight for what is rightfully his.
01:09I will have vengeance, or I will have death.
01:16It's going to be real fun this week, guys.
01:18I'll see you at the read-through.
01:19I guess we've got to clean this up.
