Buffy ,'Lessons'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
What do you say to someone who is quitting and you haven't enjoyed working with them, you're not going to miss them and you're not sorry to see them go?
"Good Riddance"? Oh, wait, that's inside voice.
"Your leaving is really going to change things around here!"
"Things just won't be the same without you."

::sniff sniff::

someone on stage, usually an actor, asks at some point in tech, when something is clearly wrong, like the stage being dark in the middle of a scene, or a sound cue playing way too loud, or a train playing in the middle of the ocean, "Is that's the way this is going to be?"
Especially during a cue-to-cue or something, when you're already in the middle of fixing it.
The theatre equivalent of that call is when someone on stage, usually an actor, asks at some point in tech, when something is clearly wrong, like the stage being dark in the middle of a scene, or a sound cue playing way too loud, or a train playing in the middle of the ocean, "Is that's the way this is going to be?" It's very often a passive aggressive way of saying this is a mistake. About 99.99% of the time we know it's a mistake. I pretty much have one answer to this question now. I state it very loudly and clearly from the house and don't hesitate. My answer is, "Yes."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I love the confused look on their little faces when I just state "Yes."
They really have no idea how to process that, especially when it is a glaringly obvious mistake.
"Is that's the way this is going to be?"

"Actually, we are having some rather complex programming issues on our computer over here, and we were just discussing asking you to come out here and give us some help with it."
