“Hold on, Ed–what did we say when we kicked this project off?” Tucker asks with a furrowed brow. With a befuddled look on his face, the budding screenwriter replies in a tone reminiscent of a student who doesn’t know an answer: “Err… don’t give away merch rights?”
The director slaps his palm against his face. “... <span class="mu-i">besides</span> that.”

Tucker lets out a sigh of irritation. “... so why are you omitting crucial details?”

“Exactly!” Tucker snaps as his irritation grows to meet Eddie’s! “And if we focus too much on the wow factor, no one’s gonna believe it actually happened! Audiences want <span class="mu-i">fidelity</span>, damn it, not <span class="mu-i">ACTION PORN!</span>”
“Since when did you become <span class="mu-r">MOVIE GOD</span> anyways!?” Snaps Eddie as he slams his notebook shut!
“Since I was the goddamn <span class="mu-i">DIRECTOR,</span> bro!” Tucker growls, slamming a fist on his chair’s armrest!
