Commentary on Destiny by Director Skip Schoolnick ,

Writers David Fury Steven S. De Knight &Juliet Landau


Hi I’m Skip Schoolnick the director, lead director

I’m David Fury Co- Writer
I’m Steven S. De Knight Co Writer

I’m Juliet Landau, I played Drusilla

S.S: And this is Destiny, one of my favourite episodes of season five

D.F: This flashback is actually meant to be more or less a sequel to the flashbacks in the Buffy episode Lies My Parents Told Me

JL: That you actually directed

DF: That’s right and so this was appealing to me, that I wanted to see, what the events immediately following that? Spike killing his mom and bringing William home to meet Angelus.

JL: Showing him the ropes

DF: Right… and it was wonderful to once again write the final Spike/ Drusilla scene and I got to write the final one in Buffy and the final one in Angel.. oh I didn’t write the final one in Angel, you came back again for

JL: Oh that’s right

DF: For the Italy

SdK: Right, right yeah

SS: This was a fun scene to direct and David particularly loves doing the Irish accent and once they have their little tiff he and James just were completely into it and they had a good time doing it

SDK: They’re always up for a little homo- eroticism David and James

SS: Oh yeah. The cuts on David’s cheek from where he had been scratched didn’t show up as nicely as we wanted them to but I think they’re still there

JL: They’re from Darla isn’t that right?

SDK: Yes

DF: They’d had a little tiff too


SS: I Think this was a scene where when Joss saw it shot he said “why don’t they just kiss already?”

*laughter*

DF : This worked out really nicely, this was this whole idea of the window, the light was Ben Edlund’s actually he has a whole take on trying to find a little bonding between the two of them , I think it was his idea to do this or some semblance of this which I used, in fact Ben actually contributed a great deal of this script wrote a lot of it, later on particularly in the second act.

William and Angelus say they’ll be the best of friends

DF: Oh the irony

*laughter*

Back to present day

SDK : That worked out quite nicely actually we didn’t have anything we needed to re-establish that Spike a ghost before he gets de-ghosted so we needed something and I wrote it like maybe we can take out one of those pillars on the lobby and have him walk through the pillar to be able to do that

SS: That’s a nice shot

DF: Leave of absence was I believe him getting married, wasn’t Alexis getting married at this time? That’s Correct?

SDK : I think he was, yes

DF: Alexis and Alyson Hannigan

DF: We have another reference to Lies My Parents Told Me

SS: This effect worked pretty well too
DF: Because it was really a simple thing

SDK very simple and we wanted that, we’d spent a lot of time talking about Spike going to be returned to corporeal form and we had all these elaborate ideas and finally it was just “ what is he just opens something and it goes *poof* and he’s back?
SDK: There are certain things that make me laugh every time I see them and

DF: This is James walking into a wall?

SS James walking into a wall is one of them

SDK: The thing about James that’s so wonderful is that he is game for anything

DF he’s very good with physical stuff

SS it’s black it’s black it went black

SDK James will walk into anything if there’s any chance for James to walk into something he will throw himself at it.

next bit

SS: Look at this beautiful show

DF : You are so cool there you’re seeing shots from season one right through season five, you’re really see sort of a progression, you see young David you know the immortal vampire the ageless vampire looking five years younger

SS: I’m noticing there are even shots in these opening credits that we cut out of episodes that are not actually there *laughter*

DF: Well there, that’s a special treat for the fans

SDK: Yeah see it you can spot em

SS: We updated the main title every season and in this last season we updated it in the middle of the season a little later when Mercedes became a regular

(is this otter?)

DF: A little homage to Joss’s script on Conviction, the extra ingredient is otter

DF: *laughs* we took a lot of grief for-ah- for Spike suddenly having eyes for Harmony as he’s been recorporialised after spending so much time investing in the Spike and Buffy relationship –um- that people felt we were betraying that with this and –erm- ah- it was Joss’s contention that Spike, having spent this time as a ghost the first thing he’d wanna do is get laid , ye know he wanted that Spike would always want that and Spike always knows that Harmony is a willing participant that he could always get to her and a lot of people were very offended by that a lot of fans were

SS: I’m not sure why I mean he yes he’s a vampire but he’s a guy

SDK: Plus what so as it is there’s such lightness to that moment, there is to that moment

SS::Yeah absolutely

SDK: It’s just fun

SDK: This is again, our attempt you know on the cheap to do something different which was a carriage ride with what we call the poor man’s process of movement where basically what you have is a bunch of guys pushing this thing so that it’s shaking and then you put a lot of mist outside the windows and we’re supposed to believe they are actually on a carriage ride in jolly old England when in fact they’re just

SS : sittin’ in a box with very little room to shoot , hence the limited coverage

SDK: But it was something different than the hotel room or and it works

SS: It works quite well

JL: Definitely

DF: The thing I really enjoyed writing about this writing these scenes in flashback is Spike is you know Spike and Drusilla were a great couple, they really were and Spike was completely and utterly devoted to her and him believing that she is in fact she’s changed his life and she is his destiny which, you know was a perfect metaphor for the rest of the episode. But just seeing the romanticism of Spike or I should say of William, it’s the poet, the poet that never died inside William even when he became a vampire and he romanticises his relationship with Drusilla even though she’s a monster and she’s made him a monster and he still romanticises it .

*Laughs *

SDK: Oh here’s the Alice Cooper makeup. This is really my sense of humour too it’s hysterical

DF: Hey look there’s my name and Steve’s

JL: Put it on hold

DF: And Skip’s name

JL: Put that on hold

DF: Brava! Bravo! And I borrowed a little bit of the madness that’s sneaking into the office obviously the makeup people had not seen that movie or they wouldn’t have given us the flashy Alice Coopery eye makeup that we wound up with instead of the sort of teardrop which was much more disturbing in that movie

DF : This is one of those tough scenes of exposition that you have to write where you have to explain everything and

SDK: But beautifully handled

SS: Oh thank you sir

DF: Thank you sir may I have another?

SS: The tricky thing with those scenes is that you’ve always got to try to throw in some humour to keep things going. You did a good job there

DF: Also when you have people coming and entering and exiting like Sarah’s just come in I mean Eve has just come in and then Gunn is going to leave it’s like being a traffic cop

SDK: It’s a car wash

DF: You’re just trying to get the information out as quickly as possible in as entertaining a way as possible

SS: It’s one of the great beauties I think of Angel is the way that the humour is worked in and it’s one of the most fun things for me to direct

JL: And that’s one of the things as an actor that’s fun too in terms of bouncing between the humour and the dark elements

SS: You got to do that quite a bit

JL: Definitely

DF: Drusilla was always like at one hand was very funny and just kind of silly and then she could suddenly turn very scary and that was the fun part of writing her

JL: And playing that as well

DF: Well I’ll never know that pleasure to play her *laughs* I’ll have to take your word for it

SDK: Writing Eve is always finding how she can talk to people very condescendingly *laughs* Princess kids and sweetie in the same scene it’s like basically “I’m superior to you “ and that’s the easy way of writing it

DF: Kids, kids again, had to get at least two “kids” in that scene

SS: She’s very good the character’s very good at deflection, and I think Sarah was very strong in this particular scene at just-er- keeping ahead

DF: And here’s the other scene that got s in trouble specifically because this was kind of this was probably a little rougher than we intended it to look

Act break

Last bit for tonight

I'll do the rest tomorrow

DF: Right sorry. The sex between Harmony and Spike in this scene was a little, was not as romantic as it could have been or not as light hearted it was it became something...

SDK: They were having fun I’m sure they were I’m sure they were *laughs*

SS: And the dailies were I seem to recall, quite a bit more graphic.

DF: *laughs*

SS: *ooh* (as Spike knocks Harmony across the room)

DF: Another one of my favourite moments *laughs*

SS: Great shot that’s a great shot.

DF: Harmony can take a punch.

DF: This is something Ben actually, this is part of Ben’s contribution this and into our friend what’s his name?

SDK: Sirk.

SS: Right, Right I think this was the beginning of where Lorne says “he bopped me right in the cocoanut and you remember Jeff Bell came in and said “We can’t say cocoanut, melon and a whole line of things that we couldn’t say.

*laughs*

DF: Those are, I consider those De Knightisms that’s purely that was your usual description, if not in the dialogue it certainly was in the action.

SDK: He gets knocked in the cocoanut, he gets hit in the melon he gets…*laughs*


SDK: (On Eve) Oh she’s so evil but that was a really great idea.. Who came up with that idea?

SS: Which idea?

SDK: That Spike now that he is recorporealised might be the one that the Shanshu prophecy speaks about?

DF: I don’t know exactly, I know that the idea of Spike and Angel fighting over the prophecy I guess would be Joss.

SS: That’s a shocker!

SDK : Yes well we all really thought of it but Joss was the one who said I want Spike and Angel to fight in this episode and they should be fighting. He was very much they should be fighting over Buffy and we were very much like well it can’t be just that because we don’t have that, this is not the Buffy show any more and it was like well it’s about who’s really the guy, who’s the guy the Shanshu’s about who was the who’s destiny is it to be the vampire who will play a part in the apocalypse, the vampire with a soul. We had to acknowledge the fact that we now had two characters, two vampires with souls you know on the show, we couldn’t just disguise that fact that Angel is no longer special and Joss, he kind of just threw it out, I don’t think he ever actually meant for us to do it but we did it he said “And they’re fighting over a cup or something you know they’re going to drink a cup one of them is the guy” *laughs* Ok alright well that’ just.. We’ll try to figure it out and what we figured out was” what if they’re drinking out of a cup ”.

DF: Yeah.

SDK: They’re fighting over a cup.. we eventually came back around to that.

DF: Oh yes another five pages of exposition.

JL: He seems to handle it really well.

DF: He does, he’s terrific and this scene .

SDK : I think this is Ben Edlund again another contribution I think this scene is a very difficult one that he handled really well; Sirk was a character that I actually wrote and the first time he appeared was in the finale of season four I originally called him Hitchcock I dunno I just gave him the sides but I think Joss decided that that’s a little too Hitchcock it’s a little too on the nose cos you know , so let call him another fifties star director Douglas Sirk.. It’s like oh OK but I think it was Tim who’s the one who actually came up with let’s change it to Sirk.. I just thought it was funny that it had to be another director.

SS: I know I kept trying to find a way to bring him back because we really liked him.

JL: He is terrific.

SDK: Yeah but we could not figure out… we were trying to make him one of the circle at the end to somehow have him tied into one of the architects of the apocalypse but he seemed really a tool.

DF:Yeah.

SDK: Rather than one of the architects there was no way to we couldn’t figure out a way to bring him back. He was somebody we wanted to bring back just like we wanted to bring back Claire the Clairvoyant from your episode.

DF: Yeah.

SDK: She was another character that we kept thinking...

DF: I know she dies in the episode but

SDK: Ah what does that mean?

DF: On this show but ...

SDK: Exactly or we’re gonna “ here’s her identical twin sister but we liked the actor so much we thought we could use another woman on the show these are things like we’re writing stories and actually thinking about what could have been.

SS: So the challenge for me in a scene like this is how do you keep it moving? How do you make it interesting? So my solution to it was to shoot everything I could think of, I think our producer Kelly was a little taken aback at how many different angles I shot, the reality was we used every angle that was shot.

JL: You had so many people in it so that yeah

DF: It really doesn’t. I don’t think this scene drags at all

SDK: I think it’s like great funny in it and I think it looks great.

SS: I think with any less coverage it might have dragged a bit really need to keep it moving.

JL: He’s so compelling in his deliverance of all the information too that .

SDK: Yes he is/

SS: He was a trooper I mean if you can imagine how many times he had to deliver all the dialogue.

DF: Everybody’s coverage.

(Angel talks about the opera house)

SDK: Now is that true or did we make that up?

DF: We pretty much made it up I mean....

SDK: I’d almost buy that.

DF: Here’s a thing, the only reason that the climax or all the second half of the show takes place in an opera house is purely because Kelly found a location and says “I love this location, we gotta use it”.

SDK: Yeah.

DF: would be great to shoot it so we. It’s actually a theatre that we decided to call an opera house because we figured it was an attractive place to shot but we had talked that it was in the case at one point, our usual caves or we talked about it being somewhere in Los Angeles but ultimately since our producer Kelly found this great, great theatre we decided lets do it there.

SS: That was a great location to shoot; it gave us a lot of different levels.

SDK: It was the first time that when I was working on the fight scene I was able to see the location first. And play around it.

SS: And actually Steve wrote this very elaborate fight which was much more elaborate than what we did.

SDK: Which is what I always d o with a fight scene I always write it twice as expensive as we can afford.

DF: Which was great.

SS: We’d have loved to do it; we just didn’t have the time

DF: I feel like I didn’t miss anything.

SDK: Neither did I .

DF: Whatever you shot in there it feels like it was this fight scene that Steve wrote and it feels like you didn’t leave anything out because it feels so full and ...

SS: I pretty much try to stay true to the writer’s vision of it; there were one or two things in the fight that we changed but really very little .

(Gunn and Eve)
DF: Again that’s our usual way of hanging a lantern on the tight security at Wolfram& Hart we keep saying “Wolfram& Hart’s a really difficult place to get into, the security here is ... and we’ve had cyborg attacks we’ve had well anybody who basically wants to can get into the place and we needed to sort of hang a lantern which is why he was kind of commenting on that .

JL: Another night shoot?

SS: It was the golden hour we had no lights at all we went way outside of town to shoot it .

DF: This is where Steve, Steve’s magic kicks in here, Spike and Angel in the Opera House and their argument throughout the fighting is just fantastic he makes cases for both of them.

SDK: It’s fairly soon after David had had knee surgery..

DF: No, before .

JL: David was in a lot of pain.

SDK: It was right before, originally David was scheduled to direct this episode but because of all that took place he shifted over to do ten where he could be more seated.

SS: Here’s an important scene (Angelus /Dru ,William).

SDK: Yes, yes Angelus. We get to the bottom of their little triangle there, right from the beginning when Spike and Drusilla arrived in Sunnydale it was always, but to actually witness Angelus having his way it also reveals a lot about Drusilla which Juliet played so beautifully in that you can’t count on anything there is no morality, there is no loyalty.

DF: Which is true for every vampire except for William as we evolved the character of Spike it became more and more clear that he was an anomaly and that he held on to certain values that that other vampires let go of and that’s been a fun thing to explore both through Buffy and through Angel he in fact is a better man than Angel was he was actually he is actually more moral than Angel.

SDK: He held on to some of his humanity.

DF: which is why this is a really interesting fight between the two of them because….

Black out act break

[deborahw37]

next bit

DF: Spike is actually the… he probably deserves it more than Angel does to much extent yeah it’s just an interesting thing Angel , yes he’s been trying to atone for many years now but…

SDK: You know, when I wrote this fight one of the things that I really wanted to get through in the script was that it was a vicious fight and that they ended up bloodied and battered and it’s one of the fights on this show that I thought that idea was really carried all the way through because by the end they are just wrecked.

DF : William approaches er James er Spike approaches this whole thing with the certainty of knowing that he’s right and it really pisses Angel off

SDK: And Spike makes some really good points I think, makes Angel uncomfortable.

DF: Yeah it’s great I mean that’s what’s so wonderful about these scenes it’s that you keep coming back and forth with who you want to win. Who’s making the more valid point here?

SDK: Yes that’s true but I’m this and you’re gonna and it could go either way here, the beautiful thing about this fight is that it * could* go either way

DF: mm hmm

SDK: This is all great

SS: This is great and James was so ready to do all this flying, he just loved it , it was such a plus for us and for the episode that he was willing to do it.


SDK: Ah the wonderful lab set

SS: My nightmare every single time

DF: Three directors here, we can tell you

SS: It’s very, very difficult

DF: I lost on that set every single time I shot there

SS: There were a lot of things to move out of the way there were a lot of different angles to get to, hard to make it interesting

SDK: And that’s a weird thing right now, it’s a very weird thing that Amy calls her friend , she calls him “Gunn” there Fred used to be involved with him and always called him Charles this is, I would almost chalk this up to a mistake erm almost *laughs*

DF: I’m sure that we meant it

SDK: There you go, it’s one of those things where I go “She shouldn’t have called him Gunn should she?

She really should have called and said Charles.


DF:: I think originally it was Charles and you changed it.

SDK: Oh maybe oh you’re just trying to pick a fight.. I think we should really explain that we really did fight over this episode

DF: Yes this was, I was coming off episode four which was extremely excruciating for me and I had to go right in to helping David on this one and I was not in the best of moods and I enlisted Steve because again it was a very short writing period, I needed someone who could write and I had two acts of a fight to write and the best person to go to the go to person is Steve because, bar none he writes the best fights on the show, he writes the movie fights that we can’t afford

SDK : Here’s a little addition right here here’s a great change to the fight , originally Spike just jumped down but I love the way you use these levels to punctuate what he’s saying

SS: I felt it was, I like that part but I also didn’t want him to do the same thing that he’s just done on the other side.

SDK: That was a brilliant addition

DF: Anyway so Steve and I had , in the course of writing it, off the original outline Angel originally won and during he writing of it, it became very clear like from scenes like this ( flashback) that Spike has to win the fight, Spike is taking everything, Spike is being beaten down in all of these scenes, he has to win the fight or it will feel like a let down and I told Steve that right before he was about to hand in his version where Angel wins thinking well it won’t really matter because he’s writing a fight that either one of them can win but here’s the scene where we’ll decide who wins, just change that scene *laughs* sounds easy doesn’t it?

SDK * laughs*

DF: He was not too happy about being told that Spike has to win I don’t think it really changed... did it really er? Was it really a?

SDK: It was a bit of a shift but I was just plain unhappy it had nothing to do with that

JL: Oh wait I just want to say something here something that’s coming up here which is when Spike says to me that we’re going to be together forever and Angel is wrong

DF SDK SS: Right

JL: It’s a really important moment in the writing because it’s this moment where he sort of touches my heart in a way that no other character does and it’s sort of the inception of the epic love affair that goes on for two hundred years between them

DF: That’s absolutely right

JL: And it’s the moment that Drusilla realises Oh! This is a possibility and learns from him


DF: Right…That’s great that you, that that came off the page and you played it so beautifully cos that’s exactly what I wanted it to be , this is when she goes “Oh! , we’re going to be this great couple , you know throughout for many years it’s going to be about you and me and she understands it on an intellectual level where Spike, where William/ Spike might be more romanticisng it I think she just says oh, alright, lets play these roles, I love that.


SS: This was part of the fight that was just so well written and so well done we did this with a wider shot and actually everybody on the set stopped and applauded when we had finished it I really though maybe I shouldn’t actually shoot any other coverage for it.. I’m glad I did

DF: I’m glad you did

SS: But the guys were so into it and they were so good

SDK: I’ve made that mistake before where I see a scene and I shoot wider and it’s just played so great and I go “you know what, that’s it lets move on” then I’ll go no, I’ll be so moved because the performance is so great I’ll go you know what getting that coverage, getting closer in some moments having an option is so important

SS: It really is

DF: For me I do it almost instinctually because of all of the years I spent in the editing room and just knowing I can use it

SS: Ross Berrimans cinematography on this episode is fantastic

SDK: yes

JL: It’s beautiful

DF: This whole episode is something special

JL: It really is

SS: I can’t sing enough praise for Ross Berriman he’s an amazing man

SDK: I’d like to hear you sing

DF: You really wouldn’t

SS: He’s the most even tempered human being I’ve ever worked with or maybe even met… unflappable there’s moments where everybody’s yelling and screaming and we’re going over and Ross just stays cool he is

DF: Exceptional

SS: Amazing to work with



Blackout Act break

[PokerKitten]

Deb, you're a trooper! Keep going!

DB was singing Ross' praises on the Soul Purpose commentary too, if I'm not mistaken.

[deborahw37]

Stopped for the night now but I'll do the last bit tomorrow ;D

Everybody was lovely about James on all of them ! but the Soul purpose commentary will have to wait till I've finished this bloody book

[nightnurse]

Deb, you absolute star ....I tried to start doing a transcription, but came to the conclusion that as I dont have a gadget to make the commentators speak in slo-mo, there was no chance of me doing it...that and the fact I couldn't read my own version of shorthand

[deborahw37]

heh, the trick is listen to three or four words, pause DVD type it in rewind check move on, repeat.. takes bloody ages but it's fun The problem at the moment is doing it all one handed . quite a juggling match hence the slowness , but I'll get the last act done today ;D

Bu the way Jules (stir-of-echoes on LJ) has done Conviction and AHITW I've asked her if she'll put a link here

[deborahw37]

SS: I think this was a late addition scene wasn’t it? Steve wasn’t it?

SDK: It was yeah

DF: I think we decided we needed this scene to set up what we knew was going to be our big shocking ending to this episode we were going to reveal who Eve is in league with, and we needed to sort of teae it and also maybe think, we were hopefully trying to give the impression that maybe she’s not bad

SDK: Yeah exactly

DF: Maybe there’s you know she’s trying to say “I’m not the bad guy” maybe it must be somebody else and I ‘m not

JL: Eve’s ambiguity is good

SDK: I think Sarah did a great job selling that too because you really feel sympathetic towards her

(Eve says “I’m not the bad guy”)

SDK: Oh yes you are, yeah

DF: And you believe her

JL: I think it’s funny that you guys were fighting and this was one of the episodes you were fighting in and what you were writing was this enormous fight *everyone laughs*

DF: Yeah we know, the irony is not lost

JL: Maybe you were play acting

*laughs*

DF: But Steve was Spike in that fight so

JL: Fun

SDK: The end to the De Knight/Fury fight was that Jeff Bell in a soothing calm voice talked us down and there was a hug at the very end

JL: Were you bloodied like this?

SDK: There was a little bit, we both felt really bad about it

DF: Well. I kind of enjoyed it a little bit;

SDK: You would

DF: sometimes you just have to blow off a little steam

SDK: You really do.

JL: The amount of hours you put in

DF: That’s right

Now here’s a scene where we just went round and round with what was in that cup, what kind of beverage was in that cup

JL: *giggles* what were some of the preliminary ideas?

SDK: I think it started out that is Fresco then Mountain Dew

DF: It ended up as Mountain Dew didn’t it

SDK: Well nobody knew what Fresco was Well some people didn’t know what Fresco was , Fresco sounded funnier

DF: Well I thought Mountain Dew was funnier

SDK: Well sorry Dave

JL: It was a product placement issue

SDK: It’s Fresco but actually product placement was one of the issues with us, we weren’t sure if we could say anything couldn’t name our product

DF: I just love how bloody these guys are

SDK: Oh yeah, they’re a mess oh it’s a great thing I like the camerawork here, this plays great it’s just what is it? What is it? Perpetual torment

SS: I can’t tell you how many takes it took to get that goblet to fall in frame

JL: Really?

All giggle

SDK it’s just nice that it’s just like “It’s Mountain Dew and they’re like these dead serious looks * scary voice* “It’s Mountain Dew”

SS: Yes another lab scene

SDK: The glorious lab scene

SDK: You know, whatever else, whatever parts the weaknesses of this episodes the flashbacks and the fights I’m so proud of them and I think our episode works so well that I think that’s all you know something you forgive anything like this make up you know like the weird bloody makeup the Alice Cooper makeup, you forgive all that because there was an incredible story told there that’s why I say it’s one of my favourites.

JL: As far as the flashbacks go the three of us had so much fun when we get together in terms of it just being like in terms of there are just surprises in terms of everybody’s choices that it’s really sort of infectious and fun

DF: It shows, it’s always great to see you

SS: Now when we sent this episode to the network this was the last scene they saw, we didn’t we shot the real last scene but we didn’t give it out because we were trying to keep it secret

SDK: And it almost worked

SDK: It worked up until like about five days before we aired because at that point David was shooting, Boreanaz was shooting his episode uh Soul Purpose and they had a crowd scene in a bar and one of the extras saw Lindsey, you know, saw Christian there, and even though we were calling Christian something else we were calling him Sean I think just to throw people off

DF: right yeah

SS: But of course one of the extras who was thee on the set reported it, and it got reported really about five days before the airing of this but sine we shot this like many weeks before we kept it a secret

DF: Longer than I thought we could

SDK: Much longer than I thought we could

SS: It was very, very close

DF: I never knew that’s how it got out

SS/SDK: Yeah ,yeah

SDK: It was somebody from the set it was an extra from the set, and when we find him he’s a dead man

SS: Yeah if you’re watching

SDK: He’s a dog!

SS: We know who you are

SDK: We know where you live...You know we eventually gave up trying to keep anything secret, but that was a really good run, that was a good attempt

DF: It was the best one

SDK: So we thought, the network thought that the ending of this episode was Angel saying “what if I’m not the one?” What if the show shouldn’t be, should be called “Spike” essentially is what he’s saying

SS: Yeah

SDK: What if I’m not the guy who is meant to do this

DF: Cos that could bring some trouble

SDK: But instead


JL: The plot thickens

SS: And this, fans, is known as a one-er

SDK: Yes it is

DF: You know it s, there’s no cut in this one, one shot

SS: A very tricky one-er

DF: Yeah

SS: I recall, it was trick and it was difficult, and Sarah was a trooper and she got better I think every time

SDK: When we saw this we all commented that we really loved the shoe shot, I don’t know what that says about us *laughs* but it was very, very sexy

SS: Well that was one of the directions that I told, that Sarah and I worked on, we were trying to sell sex until the reveal

SDK: You really do, I mean you never see anything but it’s extremely sexy

ALL *Shocked gasps*

DF: It’s Lindsey
SDK: With tattoos

JL: It’s Sean
SDK: It’s not Sean
SDK: It’s Lindsey
DF: Ah this landed big though; I mean most people did not know abut this

SDK: yeah

JL: Startling

DF: It became one of our great ending scenes of this season

DF: Ah I’d forgotten how good that episode was!

SS: Me Too!

SDK: I’d remembered it being better *laughs* still , I’m still proud of it

DF: That’s why we love him folks

SDK: But it was such a pleasure and it was great talking and revisiting this with Juliet

JL: Aww

SS: It’s nice being in a room with you guys again

DF: I was thinking on the drive over here that at this time we would have been starting and shooting.

GRRR ARGH

[Ditto]

Thank you for that, I can't believe you did it with a broken collar bone!

[nightnurse]

OOh that would be great if Jules gave us a link to her transcription....and have I said you're a star ? ;D
Hope the collar bone mends quickly darlin, we'll have to chew the fat over a ciggie at some point in April

It's mending! be fine within a few weeks, broken collar bones are no big deal, as you know with a name like yours ;D

yay James next month!!

[nightnurse]

Heh...it was a big deal when my son sat on my daughter and broke hers , but yeah they do mend quite nicely .
I think it should have been Red Bull in the chalice..we're not familiar with Mountain Dew ...and after all that fighting the boy would have been glad of a boost ;D

Guess we'll be in a nice air conned room for a smoke....or as most folk know it 'Outside' LOL

I loved that Dave was wearing a Mountain Dew teeshirt in the Smile Time featurette ;D But yeah, I had never heard of the stuff before the spoilers for the episode!

Thanks very much for all your hard work Deb. And the links to Jules' transcripts are at TGIQ forum; as she doesn't want them reposted, you'll have to grit your teeth if you feel faint at the sight of Spangel ;D
