In the movie business, "take one" is the first try at filming a particular scene. It is what is called out at the beginning. If the actors mess up the lines, etc, it will go to "take two" or "take three" or "take forty-seven."
"Take one!" shouted the director as the scene began.

Get a take one on mug for your sister-in-law Julia.
The favorite phrase of buisness executives and teenagers alike. "Take one" is often followed by the word free.
Can be found at trade shows and buisness/organization confrences: "take one" pencils and other miscellaneous items for advertising.
Can be found at high schools and doctors offices: "take one" packets on pregnancy, diseases, braces, and homosexuality (among other things).
While looking at the display covered in free information packets about things like avoiding pregnancy, Clara thought to her self "too bad i cant get a take one on how to give great head."
