Director's direction (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

take five

(Other definitions for take five that I've seen before include "Leave one of half a dozen" , "after four attempts at recording?" , "Have a short break (by Brubeck?)" , "Have a break (colloq.)" , "Break briefly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
