Uno and the News Crew

Friday was a great day of school.  That morning our teacher told us a news crew was going to be coming and doing some filming.  She tried to explain it but even then we weren't entirely sure what was going on.  Then we started class and the first order of business was playing Uno.  The teacher had brought and old, dirty, worn out deck of Uno cards.  We moved two tables together and gathered all our chairs around.  Just then Kevin pulled out a brand new deck of Uno cards out of his backpack.  His aunt had sent them and you never know when you're going to need a deck of Uno cards.  After Uno, we moved on to some other things until right at breaktime the news crew showed up.  A bunch of other students came to our class and another german student became our teacher.  American textbooks were passed all around and everyone crowded around the available tables.  Finally it got started.  What got started, I don't know; I don't think anyone knew.  Half of the ensuing filming session was in English while the other half was in Mongolian.  No one really knew what was supposed to be happening.  Moving on to other parts of the school, the film crew and students began to disperse.  Then I was called to help another fellow carry some of the textbooks out.  I didn't realize until we were halfway down the hallway that we were actually filming the staged conversation between me and this actor.  Trying a second time, we went back into the classroom.  We exited making small talk and continued down the hallway toward the camera.  We were to walk toward the camera then turn into another hallway right before the camera.  As we walked the actor ran out of things to say, but that didn't stop him from saying something.  I could still here him but what he was saying was not words at all.  The last bit of our conversation was entirely gibberish.
