The birthday celebration for Sir Alec Guinness.
Mark: Cheers, Alec. I know I’ve said it a million times already, but it’s an honor to be working with you.
Alec: And you are?
Mark: Mark. Mark Hamill.
Alec: …
George: Alec, he’s the…
Alec: Now, now. The boy can explain himself.
Mark: …
Alec: Well, go on. I know you from what?
Mark: You mean besides the months of rehearsals we’ve done for this film?
Alec: Rehearsals?
Mark: …
George: Mark, I think Alec is just pulling your leg. [laughs]
Mark: Oh! [laughs]
Alec: Yes, of course. [laughs]
George: Oh, Mark, they need you over at wardrobe.
Mark: Oh. Okay. Happy birthday, Alec!
Alec: Thanks, Matt. Take care.
George: It’s Mark, Alec. His name is Mark.
Alec: Outstanding. Okay! Who’s ready for ice cream?
George: [laughs] That would be nice.
Alec: Meaning?
George: Well, we’d probably be the first people to ever eat ice cream in the Tunisian desert. Too bad we couldn’t bring any.
Alec: I beg your pardon? My contract has specific stipulations about ice cream.
George: [laughs]
Alec: This is no laughing matter. Until ice cream is nigh, I’ll be in my trailer.
George: What? We’re not getting any ice cream here! You can have ice cream after we get back to California.
Alec: …
George: [sigh] I promise.
Alec: And I promise you’ll be hearing from my agent. I’ll be in my trailer.
George: Wait! Alec! I’m expecting another grip from Germany tomorrow. I’ll have him bring ice cream from the airport.
Alec: Tomorrow?
George: Yes.
Alec: What kind?
George: Whatever he finds at the airport! Does it matter?
Alec: You haven’t read my contract at all, have you? Am I to assume there won’t be any shaved chimps in clown make-up hand feeding me melon balls tonight, either?
George: …
Alec: I’ll be in my trailer.
