Summary
Telling them everyone is angry with them for their sudden scheduling changes-- Marcus, "Pincho"-- except for Madhur, who still wishes she'd had more notice; saying she doesn't want to be their intermediary if the schedule isn't fixed; asking how shooting is going and commenting on some plot points; debating how the character Buckingham should be dealt with at the end; asking "are we concentrating too much on Sanju and Lizzie, at the expense of everyone else?"; remarking on the film festival in Delhi, how impossible it is to get tickets, and the mad atmosphere it has brought; announcing "Guess what? I haven't got labyrithitis. I got [sic] something else, even more interesting"-- "some nervous disorder"; citing an incident at the doctor where she couldn't undo a button, while the doctor and Jhab watched and finally had a laughing fit.
