Oh MAN this is one of those things many script writers do (especially in video games) that drives me nuts. You can tell from the actor's line reading that the script read, "Don't tell me what--" to indicate that the speech was interrupted. But the actor reading the line just kind of awkwardly stops speaking after "what," instead of continuing the line and actually being interrupted.
It seems to me, not being a script writer, like an incredibly obvious thing to avoid doing. Like if it's this obvious to me, then everyone who touches that script should know not to do that. How did it make it through so many people (writer, VA director, actor) with no one saying anything about it? But it keeps happening, over and over, so there must be something in that writing & acting process that I'm not aware of.
