3. "Were there stairs in the rehearsal hall?" Anytime an actor asks about a piece of set that was taped out for the last five weeks, you reminded them about, but they still never really understood, drink.
4. "Can we take that one more time" When the director request to take a sequence one more time, even though nothing was changed from the last time, and no new cues were added, drink. (Note; if he does it twice in a row, drink twice, three times, three times, etc.)
