Overheard inside a bomb on a film set, about four seconds before the big scene. RED WIRE: You nervous? BLUE WIRE: Why would I be nervous. I've done forty of these. RED WIRE: And how many times did they cut you? BLUE WIRE: Thirty-nine. You? RED WIRE: Once. In 1987. They're still talking about it. TIMER: Can you two keep it down, I'm counting. BLUE WIRE: You're not counting. You've been on 0:03 for six minutes. TIMER: I speed up and slow down for emotional reasons. It's called pacing. RED WIRE: Here he comes. Sweating. Squinting. Oh no, he's doing the thing. BLUE WIRE: What thing? RED WIRE: He's looking at the sidekick and asking "red or blue." Like we haven't been color-coded since the Cold War. Nobody has ever designed a bomb this way. No engineer has said "and for the off switch, a coin toss." BLUE WIRE: He's reaching for me. RED WIRE: He's reaching for me. TIMER: 0:01. Holding. Holding. Still holding. I could do this all day. BLUE WIRE: He cut me. HE CUT ME. Forty-one. RED WIRE: Congratulations. Want to grab a coffee at the prop truck? TIMER: I'm going to go off anyway in the sequel. Just so everyone knows.
