Drama Training
This exercise is also used for drama training. The script familiar to this editor was
A "I say number B"
B "Who, Sir(rah)? Me, Sir(rah)?"
A "Yes, Sir(rah). You, Sir(rah)!"
B "Oh, no, Sir(rah)! Not me, Sir(rah)!"
A "Who, then, Sir(rah)?"
The Sir/Sirrah distinction was used to demark relative status and the various participants were obliged to interpret their script by choosing an emotion selected from a wide range - confidence, arrogance, fear, offence, surprise, etc.

“Only in the problem play is there any real drama, because drama is no mere setting up of the camera to nature: it is the presentation in parable of the conflict between Man’s will and his environment: in a word, of problem.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“They’ll bust you in the lobby. You look like a training poster for the narc squad.”
