in terms of cues

French translation: l'enchaînement des répliques

Linguistics / Question de style
English term or phrase: in terms of cues
This one is easy to understand, but a bit tricky to translate... the context is a movie's special feature in which the director comments on the making-of the movie... I know cue is "réplique"... Donner le signal de la réplique? I just don't see how to put it here in a way that makes sense and doesn't make the French sentence too long...
Thanks for your help.

Explanation:
...était un vrai cauchemar logistique

c'est une idée.

Et dans les sous-titres, il vaut mieux respecter une forme de phrases simple (si c'est un sous-titre...)
