Have you ever wondered how fanfiction authors always get
their characters to do exactly what they want?  Simple.  It's
called "editing".  You never see all the scenes that go wrong,
all the impromptu entrances, exits, fumbling of lines, and so
forth.  Until now.

Okay, any takers?

Guy in sunglasses: Ranma 1/2 Episode 39, scene 4: Take 1 (snaps scene divider)

Ranma: (Holds up bra) Oh wouldn't this look just darling on me?

Akane: Not in public! (Looks around worridly at the girls staring in shock
around her) Can't you be ..... *snicker* Can't you be .... normal....
*snicker*

Ranma: *snicker* -- If I was normal, we wouldn't be having this episode!

Director: CUT!!!!

Guy in sunglasses: Ranma 1/2 Episode 39, scene 4: Take 2 (snaps scene divider)

Ranma: (Holds up bra) Oh wouldn't this look ... Hell I can't say it!

Director CUT!!!

Guy in sunglasses: Ranma 1/2 Episode 39, scene 4: Take 3 (snaps scene divider)

Ranma: (Holds up bra) Oh wouldn't this look just darling on me?

Akane: Not in public, you idiot. You're embarassing me!  (Looks around
worridly at the girls staring in shock around her. Kasumi wanders on the set)

Kasumi: Where the HELL is wardrobe?!?! I've been waiting in my
trailer for fifteen minutes, dammit! Don't I deserve better than this?
Where's my agent?

Director: Why me???

Then again... Maybe not.

We can only imagine outtakes for that paticular and extremely humourous
episode of Ranma 1/2.  I imagine someone would have cracked up before it
could be finished.

Scene:  Akane's bedroom with a tearful Ranma crying over wearing boy's
clothes.

Ranma: Look at me!  Everything I own makes me look fat!!!  

(momentary pause while Akane promptly forgets her line while trying
desperately not to laugh until Ranma breaks down himself.)

Or....

Ranma slowly walks into the men's bathroom, trying to look timid and shy
as this is a very important and difficult scene for Male Ranma to
pretend to be a girl, unaware that the audio technician decides to have
a little fun with him and plays the sound of someone farting to break
Ranma's concentration.  After five such strikes, Ranma finally thinks he
will be allowed to do the scene and is almost finished when the toilet
flushes in the stall next to him and breaks his concentration
again.        
It would definately be worth a chuckle.  :)
