Chalmers was so busy studying his script, he forgot his first cue: ring the doorbell

Agnes had almost three minutes to memorize her lines and she still flubs the first word she’s supposed to say. And then she forgets to yell for help.

[@The_Endless_Now]

Well to be fair, her actress is getting on in years.

[@kenjamin9147]

She didn't forget. All the delays due to everyone umm-ing and ah-ing, forgetting their lines and checking their scripts (including her) caused her to pass out from extra smoke inhalation.

[@Vanta526]

SEESOR 💀💀

[@geo5146]

AND her lines had a total of 6 words

[@mryrius]

Plus, usually these lines are voiced over using a dedicated mic station elsewhere on set, in a more comfortable setting, with a stand to rest the script. She probably fell asleep and just guessed the line before finding it on the sheet.

[@JustJacob01]

The idea that Seymour stretching his legs was an improv bit is brilliant!

The firetruck driver was also reading the script too. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 No wonder why he ran over Superintendent Chalmers.

[@BlaketheBlock]

What would his script even be? Would it just say "0.5 seconds of firetruck noises" or something?

This is unbelievably high-effort, the extra little views of the other character checking their script off screen are genius.

[@meg5323]

Chalmers: I just feel like my character would KNOW that it was smoke in the oven, he wouldn't just leave the room without questioning it. Director: Just do it.

[@aguynamelex3146]

this just makes me think that during the aurora borealis scene he was totally questioning why his character would believe seymour

[@akostoth9389]

Alternative title: "Take #24 - 🎶*'The movie director going to need his medication'*🎶 (since everybody forgot their roles [even the cameraman])

[@KirbyMario12345_939]

The edits made to the eyes, the Skinner/Chalmers cams, the bits that seem to be improv and the forgotten actions (e.g. the doorbell), the other little changes besides the dialogue, all of it comes together for one of the best iterations of Seen Hams I've ever Steam- uhh, Steamed Hams I've ever seen!

I like how Chalmers ad-libbed a line when Chalmers dropped the script while stretching and didn't know his lines. That was funny and really sold them being actors.

I mean it was filmed at skinner's house so everything was already set.

I feel a lot of the timing here wasn't quite as good as it could be in what specific words they need to check, but that Utica line flub was just Chef's Kiss. He messed up Chalmers' line in response and Chalmers' was clearly confused as to which of them made the mistake XD

[@blubtunes76]

And I love them constantly dropping the script, or pausing to look at it. All the tiny details make it feel all the more realistic lol, I know you were a theater kid for this one.
