You're a big man, Marc, and you have my apologies. With regards to your commments, it's ironic that, having said to SootyJ that the lines don't necessarily need explanation, I wrote the business about the script having troubles specifically to explain why they hadn't been informed about which part they were up for. As to the comments about the film grammar, I agree with you and shall pass them on to the "World Of..." team. Thanks for your help.
That's cool, anyone who doesn't expect a sarky comment here and there shouldn't be on the internet lol. I think for me the logic of the line doesn't work as scripts are finalised, usually, before casting. Better if the exposition, that they don't know what the part is, comes from the two characters at the head of the scene and in a funny way to do with method acting - ie how can they get into character if they don't know what the character is kind of thing. I also think, as I said on David's piece, that some kind of background, instrumental music would help. Diegetic or non diegetic - ie from a radio or somesuch.
I take my hat off, SoootyJ!
