Um, probably the craziest moment was I had this this guy who was a little bit off come up to me and literally pull a switchblade on me Uh-huh.
Which was not fun, obviously, but you have to stand up to these guys - Yeah.
- So I was I was standing up to him, So thinking he was being a hard-ass - Boom, puts goes to put the switchblade away - Uh-huh.
- But had it turned the wrong way.
- Uh-huh.
Blood everywhere, starts flicking it on me, flicking it all over the place, and so That was probably the worst my worst moment as a bouncer.
And d how'd it end? Did he get, uh, carted off and, uh No, actually, he left and came back and pulled a gun on me.
- That's what I was gonna say, yeah.
- Yeah, but the good news was, - by then, I'd already told the police about him.

Let's see if we can match the drama of that situation now.
Uh, this is a scene for all of our performers, starting with Wayne and Jonathan.
I'd like you to play this as a forward rewind scene.
Uh, this means that at certain points, we'll hear a sound that will instruct the performers to rewind from they're at, and then, uh, also, to forward the action.
Let's hear those sounds.
Rewind! "Rewind," which means rewind.
Forward Forward! There you go.
Now I'd like to see Wayne play Mark as a bouncer at a bar.
Jonathan, I'd like you to be a flirtatious girl who who is stopped and frisked by Mark as she goes into the bar.
