But it still doesn't completely make sense. Another key could be the fact that both characters are out of breath and having trouble speaking when they deliver the lines (see above).

I just noticed that later in the script the term "��Ԥ��Ϥ�" is used in the same situation. The script does involve a lot of crazy ���Ѥ�� quick-change costume changes. Does this make sense? �Ǻ��ǡ������Ϥ��ϡ� I guess it means something like "in costume" or "in the proper costume".

Context This is a script for an acted portion of a classical concert in which the "ghosts" of Beethoven, Brahms, Wagner, etc. visit the concert hall to discuss their music.

Wagner gives a long lecture on his concepts of "total art work" which brings together the expression of an entire people. He explains that art must be based on mythology, that poetry is man while music is woman, etc.

Wagner is getting out of breath, about to explain about leitmotif and uninterrupted melody when a robot interrupts him.

In actor's own voice

Guess alert! Since。。チヌ as in チヌタュ refers to one's true self, I think this just means that the actor is supposed to utter this line in a non-dramatic way, as if he was just speaking naturally, in his own voice, to himself. This explains why the other character couldn't hear him.

tkiyon-san got it right, I think. That makes even more sense. The actor, returning to himself, says he doesn¥'t understand what his character¥'s saying, but immediately returns to his character and says he was just kidding, and stands by his character¥'s ¥"theory.¥"
Peer comment(s):

neutral Dave REESE : We're both pretty much guessing on this, but since you had the benefit of the additional context that was added later, I think your answer is probably better than mine. ;-)
