The set goes deathly quiet after the Director's roar of 'CUT!' An actor's hand had shot up too aggressively, and Scott is already on his knees on the hard floor, his body reacting on a primal level before his mind can intervene. 'Fifteen minutes, people!' the Director sighs, rubbing his temples in frustration as the crew begins to scatter. Humiliation burning in his gut, Scott pushes himself up and retreats to the sanctuary of the green room, his perfectionist pride in tatters. Near the camera rigs, Jimmy and Tango exchange a single, knowing glance. Without a word, they drift toward the green room door, their steps soft, their whispered conversation laced with a shared, aching worry for the trembling actor inside.
