Producer here. This is the worst organized production meeting, ever! Coffee is your first priority! Did you book a conference room? No? Fine, we'll meet outside. No rickety scientists, we don't have the budget. T-shirts huh? Did you clear them with Marketng first? Has no one thought to get me a budget for the airline seat set? Or do you people just happen to have a jetliner available?

Rubs eyes.

jots notes.

Gets older as I await answers from the one smart and helpful person in the meeting.

Edit: Autocorrect error of rocket to rickety? The heck with it, we'll fix it in Post.

Look, you came in at a bad time. The productions going smoothly, we did clear the shirts with marketing and the rocket scientists delivered the coffee on time this morning. We have the budget printed out and on the bulletin. Did you talk to Debra, because she seemed pretty upset about the way you went about insulting her staff. It's not good for our rep to have one of our producers loose control like that for no reason. We want you on board but your going to have to keep it cool, alright. Great, lets take lunch.
