Often a pause before the dry delivery punchline


In ScriptSpeak, a beat is an instruction in the script to leave a short pause, approximately the length of a breath, or possibly a slow single blink, after a line or gag. Used either to indicate 'thinking time' or to let it sink in to increase the impact of the [[DelayedReaction subsequent reaction]]. For the actor, it indicates a change in thought process. Occasionally it will come just ''before'' the punch line, as a "here it comes" signal to the audience.
