"Bea?"
"Yes, Mr. Daniels?"
"I just wanted to check in and see how you were doing."
"I'm good, how are you?"
"I'm fine, thanks. Are you sure that you're okay?"
"Yes. Opening night went well and all the other tech stuff is working as it should so I have no reason to be good."
"That's good. But I have heard from a few other crew members that-"
"That I'm completely falling apart?"
"Yes, that's about it."
"Do I look like I'm falling apart?"
"Well, no, on a matter of fact you don't."
"Then you should draw your own conclusion."
"Are you sure that you're okay?"
"Yes, I'm very sure. I promise that I am not overly stressed out and that you have nothing to worry about."
"Okay, then I have nothing to worry about. Keep doing what you're doing."
"I will."
