CJ: Why have you called me here?

PH: Discussion of the challenges.

CJ: What is there to talk about?

PH: Due to changes made to the structure of the season we’re cutting the audience's transformations.

CJ: WHAT?!

PH: It was a disappointing showing, and it was a relatively small production. Not interested in it to keep the stunt running.

CJ: But … I had plans.

PH: You’ll survive.

CJ: It's always the same with you. You don’t have the guts to stick with something if it’s not profitable.

PH: My aim for this program is for it to survive to the end of its conclusion.

CJ: Gǔnkāi!

PH: Regardless, you are under contract.

CJ: And I could turn you into a rabbit.

PH: Can we get through this without the petty threats?

CJ: Nǐ fēngle ma?

PH: I…

CJ: Cào nǐ zǔzōng shíbā dài!

DJ: Excuse her. She has been frustrated at the pace so far.

PH: Not even a full day has passed yet.

DJ: She wishes that more actual time had passed, and we would be further along.

PH: No matter. Take these memos and get her to be reasonable about this.

DJ: You’re assuming a lot she can be reasoned with.

PH: Try at least.

CJ: Brother, where does he get off on all these stupid ideas from? It's like that stupid show about deflowering virgins. One, he’s not an originator there. Two, it would mean an entirely new network. I prefer this. I get to stretch my talent out. And if he could make decisions like these from the beginning, it wouldn’t be so bad. Well, if we have to scrap it by his rules, we will. But I have an idea.

DJ: Do I want to know?

CJ: Trust me, it’s going to be fun. I bet it's even going to put a smile on that lemon.
