The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAn impatient studio boss demands an impossible search while his assistant tries to explain the facts. The scene then shifts into a sharp argument about taste, money, and who controls the next film. Its quick commands, insults, sarcasm, and industry language make the power struggle audible.
