Snow Leopard Double-Take
“All right, Mr. Leopard, in this next scene your character sees the long-lost twin brother that supposedly died in a tragic weed-whacker accident. So you’re going to turn slowly and see him standing over you, and I want you to look at him with stunned amazement. But don’t overdo it, OK? Just keep it subtle.”

… the snow leopard learns you don’t want to rush those calculations.
