When you're getting called out on your bullshit and you need to quickly derail the conversation, accuse your accusers of distracting from the real issue.
"Hey could you stop talking over women?"

Treating the actor like a piece of meat and not a collaborator here to deliver information (e.g. telling them to put on glasses at a specific decided upon moment in the middle of the take).
Sam: "Daniel was result directing that simple interview so hard that Stanley Kubrick fell out of the sky."
