{It was every performer's worst nightmare: center stage, Opening Night, and he'd forgotten all of his lines. The prompts (how many staff members on call--? House emergency exits where--?) did nothing but blank him out even more, until even ad-libs (I don't get paid enough to know that, honest) weren't an option, and then it became an issue of digging his heels in (no--no--no) and refusing to try.
The worst part of it was that the audience, cast, and crew were all armed with lead pipes and razorblades. They knew he'd forgotten on purpose.}
