In the Crashdown. Liz and Maria enter from the backroom.
M: Smells like hell, feels like hell. Oh, it's great to be back in
Roswell.
(she hands me a basket of fries, or actually sort of just throws it
down on the table--sometimes she said, "Here you go". Liz delivers a
check to the table just past us.)
Guy: (walking in with another jock and my two friends Coury--the blonde one when you watch it, and Jessica) Hey Deluca! I thought you were supposed to be opening for O-Town.
M: You can so bite me!
Max: (enters through the front door) Hi. (I think he says that?)
M: So, how was your first day back at school?
Max: Considering the option (or alternative?) of being dead, fine.
L: Hey Max, can I borrow your calculus book? I left mine in my locker.
(Max does something. It's some kind of movement that I couldn't quite see. Maria gasps.)
M: I'm sorry. It's just that last time you did that, you were trying to strangle me.
(There's a crash. A glass, actually it's the guy sitting with me, his glass falls off the table and shatters.)
M and L: (seeing the spill) Not it!
(Liz and Max start to walk toward the backroom)
Max: (to Liz) So, what are you doing tonight?
(And then the scene was continued in the backroom, which we weren't in, so I don't know what happens next.)
In the scene we did, I was at the two person table closest to the backroom. I was sitting facing the door and studying with a math book. Which really made me realize how much I had forgotten from high school! At first they had me sitting up at the counter, which was cool, but then they moved me, which was good because I got to be at the table that Majandra brought the fries to, and where the glass dropped. I don't really remember the order that all of this stuff I'm about to write happened in, so I'll just write it all down in whatever order.
Dreamers, dreamers, dreamers--not to worry, Jason and Shiri seemed to get along great. They were having a lot of fun that day. At one point I looked up and Jason was wearing that necklace that Shiri always wears in the Crashdown scenes, that turquoise one. It was pretty funny. And then he put his finger up to her head like a gun. Shiri was like, "Hey!" and he was laughing and then apologized. Jason was also talking in a ton of different accents during rehearsals of the scene. He was so funny! He talked with a gay accent a lot, and then with one that sounded like his Newfoundland one from The Shipping News. And then Shiri mentioned something about the fact that Jason was wearing new clothes. She was like, "Why do you get new clothes?" And Jason said, "I was dead, I get to have new stuff." Then later Shiri was talking to the onset wardrobe guy and I thought I heard her asking about getting new clothes too. He said he'd talk to the wardrobe person in charge for her, and she thanked him. Shiri, Jason, and Majandra hung out and talked a lot between takes. And then Shiri and Jason were really funny on some takes of the scene. Since the scene ended with the line "So what are you doing tonight?", one time when Jason asked that, Shiri said, "You." Which was really unexpected, so it was funny. Then the next time Jason said, "So, what are you doing tonight, besides me?" It was cute. So, see, they seemed to be having a good time, and trust me, I've been on sets where actors don't really get along, and they tend to just avoid each other. If Jason and Shiri really didn't get along, there's no way they'd be joking around like that at all. I'm not saying they are going to get together, or that they hang out all the time off the set or anything, but they do get along and have fun on set and appear to like each other at least. I have no idea where all those other rumors come from!
Shiri and Majandra talked a lot too. At one point Shiri came in and asked to borrow Majandra's cell phone. During the scene when they were shooting close ups they wore pants under their waitress uniforms, and when they were off camera, they kept jackets on too. Like if it was Shiri's close up, Majandra kept her jacket on. They talked in the backroom a lot, since that is where they start the scene. And at some point I think they are cleaning up where someone was eating or something. Anyway, the prop guy brought out some half eaten root beer floats for that part, and the girls were asking if they had real root beer float stuff, and when the prop guy said yes, they asked for some. They were all excited. And then they still hadn't gotten any a few hours later. Majandra remembered and was like, "Hey, where are our Root Beer floats?" And the prop guy said that he checked and they didn't have any Root Beer, so they were a little bummed. And one time before the scene maybe on Majandra's close up, I'm not sure though, I heard Shiri say, "Good luck Majandra." I've actually seen them wish each other luck on a few different days also. It was cute. And then when it was Shiri's close up, Majandra was asking if she was on camera at all, and they said no, so Shiri was like, "So you don't need to act." LOL! That was pretty nice of her, because sometimes it helps if the other person is doing their best because you can react to that. They seem really supportive of each other.
And Majandra kept forgetting to pick up the fries from us to start the scene over. They'd start rolling and we would still have the fries at our table and she'd be in the backroom with Shiri already waiting to start the scene. So, I'd be holding up the fries looking around, and then all the sudden she'd remember and come running out to get them. And Shiri would be like, "Aw, Delfino!" And Majandra
would be like, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." But it was pretty funny. A few times the 2nd 2nd AD or the prop guy would anticipate her forgetting them and pick them up to give to her. But, she forgot a lot of the time. So, I basically got to hand her fries a lot, and she'd say thank you, and I'd say you're welcome. She was having a hard time for a little bit. She looked a little lost sometimes and would be in the wrong place to start the scene when they were picking it up from the middle or something. And then one time she had left her jacket on one of the chairs at the counter and it was going to be right in the shot, so they had to move it. I had to be careful because I always listen to her CD on the way driving to work, so her songs were in my head all day, and a few times I started to hum them, and then reminded myself not to do that out loud since she was standing right there. I could hear her humming and singing though, but it was quiet, so I couldn't recognize whether it was one of her songs on the CD, or something different. One time the guy sitting with me was like, "You know, these fries are cold." Trying to joke around with her. And she said, "I know, I don't really work here." She said it nicely like, don't blame me, I didn't do it.
Brendan was funny that day too. I guess he had somewhere to be that night, so he wanted to be out of there by 6:30. And Shiri said, "Well, I'm sure that all of these people (motioning to everyone in there like the crew and all of us) want to leave" to him. Brendan wasn't even working in this scene, I saw him come in and give a cell phone to Majandra, everyone must've been borrowing it that day, geez! Anyway, they were cute because they kept doing this thing where they'd be walking out of the Crashdown in between takes and Majandra would run ahead of Brendan, then stop and turn around and put her hand out, and then Brendan would give her 5 and hold her hand for a while, then she'd run ahead and do it again. It was pretty funny. And then he was talking to her near the backroom at one point and he said something about going to Magic Mountain on Tuesday and asked if she was working. Then she said she was working, so he said okay, on Wednesday then. How fun would that be! Magic Mountain is always fun. I haven't been in so long.
Then Brendan, still trying to get out of there, oh like I said, he wasn't in this scene, but he was in one that they were filming right after it, so he kept trying to get the girls and Jason to finish the scene quickly. He walked in and started clapping and was like, "Let's go Shiri. You too, let's go Majandra." And Majandra said something about not unless you give me a jumping high 5." So, he did, and Majandra said, "I thought you said you weren't going to do that anymore." And he said, "Well, now I'm desperate." And then when Shiri messed up he was like, "Appleby!" He stayed a while and watched from the monitor. At one point he was also talking to the DP asking if it looked like he'd be done in time, and the DP was like, "It's taking up time now talking instead of me working." And then the DP kind of chuckled and got back to work.
That's pretty much all that went on that day. I had 3 friends working with me, which was really fun. Oh, we saw Majandra, Adam, and Shiri at lunch because they all ate in the same room with us and the crew. Adam was there because there was a scene with him and Katie that morning. My friend was in it, it was some restaurant scene, and I had a later call time, so I wasn't there for it, only the Crashdown one. My friend is a fan also, so she was telling me what happened in that scene. She said basically, he was mad at Isabel in that scene, and yelling at her (which made my friend mad).
I also heard other bits and pieces about the episode. I heard something about Jesse telling Kyle that they brainwashed him, although I'm not sure what that's about really. And there was a scene that was described as the teens get booted, but I'm not sure from where. I know the next day they were doing a double date scene out at the miniature golf course--it was date night I guess. The extras had to be there at 9pm and it was freezing I heard. There were also scenes at Toby's autoshop garage and in Jesse's car, which they showed part of (the garage scenes that is) on the news out here. A van pulls up and a bunch of guys, who look like FBI agents) jump out and ask Jesse, "Are you Jesse Ramirez?" And he says yes. And then they grab him and throw him in the van and take off. It seems like the eps are getting really good. I can't wait to see it. Okay, more stories to come soon!
