"About half an hour later, thank god, Damian is no longer Rob's problem.

The rest of the production

team is back, and Rob can go back to doing what he does best: crouching in the corner and playing with
his phone."

a "Any chance we could have a smile from you in this video, Rob? Just for a change? I'm feeling like 'face
like a slapped arse' is getting a bit predictable."

"Rob doesn't respond. He's busy comparing reviews for noise-cancelling headphones on eBay."

e "Adrian, can I have a word?"

a "For you, E-Dog? Of course. What's going on?"

e "Soulful isn't in any shape to be performing right now."

"No shit, Sherlock."

a "For FUCK'S sake!"

"Rob exchanges a quick glance with Shun. They prefer to keep Adrian in his 'down with the kids' mode,
which is marginally more tolerable than his Stalin mode."

a "Karen, E-Dog, get him over here."

s "We found Xanax on him. Prescribed, we think, nothing illegal. Maybe he was trying to relax himself for
the shoot, but overdid it a bit."

a "He’s a fucking vegetable, Talented! Overdid it a BIT?!"

"Rob attempts to bury himself in headphone reviews again, but alarm bells are ringing in his head."

d "I'm fiiine, you's all needs to relax. I'm just chillin."

a "Is Dr. Morley on set?"

k "Erm... No, remember, he's at his granddaughter's wedding.

a "FUCK."

"Rob wished he had those noise-cancelling headphones right about now."

p "Adrian. We're losing the light."

a "Yes, -thank-you, Piers, I can see that. Very helpful."

n "Can't we shoot this part without him?"

a "Neil, you genius, yes, what a marvelous idea."

"Rob tries to imagine the thought of the single choreographed number in the video filmed with the very
obvious absence of Damian. Imagine the response on Twitter."

r "What if... If we could get some coffee in him, maybe..?"

"The words are out before he remembers he was trying to keep a low profile."

a "Coffee’s not cutting it. Karen, get my bag."

"Karen hurries back with Adrian's mysterious bottomless bag. He rummages around in it until he finds
what he's looking for. Rob suspects he already knows what they are."

a "Ta. All right, big boy, you reckon you could swallow a couple of these down? Look, with some hot
choccy, yum yum yum."

r "What are those?"

a "Vitamins."

"Does Adrian think he's surrounded by idiots?"

r "Prescription vitamins?"

a "Never mind the third degree. Just some emergency, under-the-counter supplements, yeah?"

"Shun shoots Rob a warning look, but Rob is exhausted, hungry and irritable. He can't let this one lie."

r "Jesus Christ, Adrian. You know how Soulful gets on uppers. He'll be crawling on the ceiling for the next
two days."

a "As long as it gets him through the shoot..."

r "Last time he took speed, he broke one of his teeth from grinding them too hard, remember?"

s "He's right. This isn't a good idea, Adrian."

"A nod of gratitude to Shun for having his back. Adrian, however, catches this miniscule gesture and
whips around."

a "Oh, is that right, Rob? Is that what you think, Shun? Well, since you two clearly have far more
experience than I do, go ahead, what's the plan, then?"

"..."

"Rob hadn't thought quite that far ahead."

"He's mulling over possible responses in his head when Adrian, fed up with the entire conversation, spins
back around, clapping his hands together."
a "I thought as much."

a "Everyone! Positions, please!"
