課文:

“Cut!” Suddenly Leo was hauled to his feet. He staggered around briefly. When he finally caught his balance again, he realized that the police weren’t paying any attention to him. He scrambled out of the way of a man carrying a ladder. Looking around, he noticed that a lot of people were walking around with headsets on. A couple of them were giving him strange glances, but most were just completely ignoring him. Leo nearly jumped out of his skin when he felt Erica tap him on the shoulder.
