Flee him adroitly around corners,
Hating him, wishing him well;

The second rule of improvisation is not only to say yes, but YES, AND. You are supposed to agree and then _add something of your own._ If I start a scene with 'I can't believe it's so hot in here,' and you just say, 'Yeah ... ' we're kind of at a stand-still.

Or if I say, 'I can't believe it's so hot in here,' and you say, 'Yes, this can't be good for the wax figures.'
