[Intro]

Morning meeting.
New rule on the board.
Underlined twice.

[Verse 1]

The exec producer says, "Last night's numbers flew —
Best minute was the one that nobody knew."
He clicks the graph. It spikes up high —
Every finished sentence makes the number die.

[Chorus]

Never let an expert finish a sentence,
Cut at the verb, cut at the sense.
If they say "because," ring the bell —
Understanding kills suspense.

[Verse 2]

New cue cards land: INTERRUPT. PIVOT. NOW.
Leo rehearses his sympathetic frown.
The doctor starts, "The reason is—"
Leo cuts in, "We need to widen this."

[Chorus]

Never let an expert finish a sentence,
Cut at the verb, cut at the sense.
If they say "because," ring the bell —
Understanding kills suspense.

[Bridge]

[Expert]
"The central finding—"

[All]
"CUT."

Maya keeps one card, writes on the back:

WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY FINISH?

[Final Chorus]

Never let an expert finish a sentence,
Now it's a rule, not an accident.
If facts need context, context is slow —
Cut the "because" and roll the show.

[Outro]

Four stabs attack before they resolve.
One. Two. Three. Four. Again.
Maya lets the last chord ring
longer than the producer wanted.
