The story

导演：这个背景里什么也没有。我缺一样东西。There's nothing in this background. I'm missing something.

大卫：导演！我也想演！这是我从小的梦！我可以演什么？Director! I want to act too! It's been my dream since I was little! What can I play?

导演：你？站到镜头前边来，我量一下。You? Stand in front of the camera, let me measure you.

导演：演少年？太高了，你的头不在镜头里。Play the boy? Too tall, your head's not in the shot.

导演：演爸爸？太高。演警察？太高。Play the father? Too tall. Play a policeman? Too tall.

导演：我知道了！背景里缺树。你演树。I know! The background needs a tree. You play the tree.

大卫：树？有话吗？A tree? Do I have any lines?

导演：树没有话。你站在背景里就行。Trees have no lines. Just stand in the background.
