The scene opens with the narrator's declaration that he's going to embrace the director of the same movie he just saw. He's not angry, he says, because the director is acting just like he does at work. The director is trying to call him by his first name, and the narrator can hear his heart beating faster and faster. The narrator says that he can't continue to kiss the director if he doesn't stop calling him his name. He says that this is like a punishment, and that he will have to accept it for now.
