in this dialogue, pls.

Thanks, Olga




BARBARA:      Hi, Beth. How are you today?

BETH:               Hi, Barbara. I �m great and you?

BARBARA:      Very busy! I have to do a lot these days!

BETH:               Are you working on anything now?

BARBARA:      Well, first of all, I �ve got a morning rehearsal at the theatre.

BETH:              That�s interesting!  What are you doing after?

BARBARA:           After the rehearsal I�m driving to the film studio; the film director

                                said that he wanted to shoot a scene in one take.

BETH:               That�s fantastic! Which scene are you recording now?

BARBARA:         The scene in the bar. My character�s meeting her boyfriend,

                              he�s having a date with another girl.

BETH:                  Oh, how romantic it is!

                              What are you doing tomorrow?

BARBARA:         Tomorrow?  I have to learn a new script.

BETH:                  A new script?  You want to know what I�m thinking about your busy day.

                             You should have a break. I mean, a couple of days off, at least.

BARBARA:         I appreciate your advice very much, but in two days I am leaving to India to  

                             act  in a Bollywood biopic about Indira Ghandhi.

BETH:                 Well, your life is busy but very exciting!  Nice to have met you, Barb.

BARBARA:  Me too, See you later, Beth.

Hi, Olga. In my opinion, there are only two mistakes:

BARBARA:      Hi, Beth. How are you today?

BETH:               Hi, Barbara. I �m great and you?

BARBARA:      Very busy! I have to do a lot these days!

BETH:               Are you working on anything now?

Well, Beth �s �I �m thinking � doesn �t bother me at all. It shows her disapprobation about such a heavy day.
 
At least that �s how I was taught. Just the kind of nuance which could make a difference. It is some emphasis in such a case.
 
Hope I �m not wrong.

I don �t understand this part:

BARBARA:         The scene in the bar. My character�s meeting her boyfriend,

                              he�s having a date with another girl.

BETH:                  Oh, how romantic it is!

                              What are you doing tomorrow?



How can she be meeting her boyfriend if he has a date with another girl?  And the answer "Oh, how romantic it is!" ???? !!!

Maybe I �m just tired!
