I think you're playing with fire. No, man, you got it all wrong. See, I'm Prometheus. I bring the fire. Original Clip : Recreation: Evaluation: Overall, I think our recreation of the gala scene from Nemesis went quite well. The script and dialogue went almost perfectly, and I think we did a good job copying the way the characters interacted with each other. The s...
