1:52:19 French gon over at brav I might be induced to uh range your passage my letters of Transit his eyes following the plane which is now receding into the distance I could use a truck but uh it doesn't make any difference about there but you still owe me the 10,000 Franks and the 10,000 Franks should pay our expenses our expenses uhhuh I think this is going to be the the begin of a beautiful friendship we made it woo we did

1:53:05 it yay guys I have to actually um I have to head off like right now I apologize that's fine I actually have to as well yeah but it this was great thank you so much all right well hopefully you can join us soon for either Viking and or Avengers which are both coming up in the next uh I'll check I I I most likely might be able to do for at least for Vikings but I will check all right all right good night you to good night night bye bye everybody thank you so much see you soon see you soon well that was lovely reading you all yes that was fun I like the part where it said alternate ending which made me wonder what the original ending in the script was yeah yes I I was so sad my character died in the end well he may he might be still alive but probably he died probably did not yeah very good CH oh I kept like oh after reading all the action descriptions I couldn't get his voice back and then I was like

1:54:24 no was like oh yeah I think yeah tonight wasn't the best night for me I couldn't read like half the things today but next of Vikings I'll do better we're gonna do it we're gonna succeed yeah well cold reading is pretty can be pretty tough especially with this script I mean these are quality of the quality H face is really awful in this one yeah it's hard to read certain words but yeah know unfamiliar words in this one too yeah yes there were S I don't know proun like that gend DARS or whatever they are the the um g n a r they're like um police officers right but that's not a that's not a term I've seen before heard pronounced anyways before yeah oh yeah I had fun I so okay and I hope everyone else did I sure did you're so emotional Vicky you know I oh I was like oh it was it was fun to watch the first like scene or whatever it was oh what scene was it I think it was like the first scene where I was

1:55:55 like was just gasping and I was like what what that's happening I'm trying to think of what the scene was now but I was like shocked there was so many times where I was like this this second half was so much more like whoa what oh my gosh I wanted to be very infested I think the first half I was not as invested as I was in the second app and it is it's actually an inspiration to watch it yeah I want to see it now because I want to see how this whole is put together and it might be it might be hard to find I don't know yeah well it's on Prime but Prime you have to pay for it on there it's probably free on crave I think I'll look but yeah it might from what I saw on the internet at least that's what it told me but yeah I'm sure you can find it somewhere but I mean it's such a classic movie it makes it into one of those you know top 100 list of movies all the time and it does get played on TV

1:57:05 occasionally um I think like on Stars you know channels like that yeah it's very it was very interesting to see like his motives like how it kept like her and his like Isla and um bricks like the how they think and how their the stories as they grew like when we found out llo was her husband and everything then how he was like killed like it was very interesting to see hear all that it's like huh oh oh that makes sense I enjoyed it yeah having read it in two halves it's very you know as opposed to reading it all the way through all at once you really get to see that you know it really brings forward the differences between what they do in the first half of the script versus the second half of the script um and I say half but I mean I think the second half is probably a little bit shorter maybe but um yeah I would yeah I think it was like 10 o'clock I think for the first half when we were and that might be too because the

1:58:19 first half always has more actions in description because you have to describe all the charact well you don't have to but a lot of scripts do describe you know all the characters and yeah background stuff that's going on um you know and there's so many more characters in The First Act just to kind of get like the sense of the setting I mean you see the the dark European that they mentioned dark Foreigner the one that keeps tick tocking people you know yeah it's not essential to the story yeah but it is essential to the the of the story yeah how much thievery there is going on in these times yeah yeah so far minor characters are looking for their visas you know that we don't miss oh my gosh yeah there were so many of those it's a very popular thing in C block right now to try leaving from what we see uh so far I've only done two movies or one show one movie now so far my favorite is still from Tom Clancy's one Joe the Boss

1:59:28 dude he was my favorite I think so far I love him yeah that was fun this one I don't know which one's my favorite I I think it's definitely mafioso Mr uh Mr uh Ferrari he's probably my favorite just cuz he's he's cool I liked him a lot lot what was your F well this one you what was your favorite uh Vicki uh it's it's a tie between Rick and Elsa yeah I think Rick probably wins see he's such an interesting character he is I was yeah he's definitely really interesting what about you cat I have to say I really like renal because he was just you know he's yeah betrayed eventually as the bad guy and the sense that he's headed the police and he has to arrest everybody and you know but then he's got the you know the order he has to close Rick's bar down and yeah on the loose pretext that there's gambling going on and all of a sudden you know sir I'm like yeah that one was funny you know yeah is that why you chose Ral when

2:00:48 you were doing this signing roles you're like I think he's cool no actually because I I had had them assigned to somebody else in the beginning last week you know and so since I just did last I thought well might as well keep reading them the yeah turned out to be very interesting especially the very I did not expect that twist the end where no um goes off with Rick you know I that one coming it seems like there would be a second movie Casablanca too yeah know there's so manyi has to go off and do something yeah there's so many lines from this movie that are well known there was the one line that I said that I thought was like oh this seems like a line people would say I can't think of it now I'm really oh there was one line it was uh St ster line oh what is it he's telling Rick something well I'll think of it eventually I'll say it later but which lines were you thinking of Vicky well Play It Again

2:02:02 Sam um and then at the end what Rick says to Elsa um here's looking at you kid um yeah there's more oh and and this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship I've heard that one too yeah mhm yeah that's that's one that I I was thinking of yeah yeah and we'll always have Paris right that one I've heard too and and so it's so nice I said having not seen this film ever before and finally getting to understand the context Behind these lines that I've he people say all my life yeah yeah huh oh there's another one done we we finished CLE Blanca now oh next week's the Vikings next week's Vikings and that's a small script there's just really yeah it's got the main Viking um oh my gosh I'm blanking on his name start R I think anyways and his brother his wife his son and then the Earl um okay and then um uni the uh the crazy ship Builder um and then there's a few small minor Parts within there so you know so we'll probably have

2:03:25 very small roles then like or very like little roles probably have no not too many roles yeah probably two roles that's that's what I mean which is nice and then we totally flip that on its head the following week with Avengers when oh my gosh you know I mean there's like six main characters at least maybe plus Loki plus all plus Fury you know yeah Fury is a fun one too yeah there'll be that will draw nextra people I know at least two um two folks just joined table R Tuesday specifically to read this play or that oh really that script yeah so oh fun so we should have at least you know some more people showing up in two weeks yeah hopefully yeah no I'm really excited for that one that one will be fun IA like said it's got it has a lot we'll talk about it in a couple weeks but it has so many action shots so they'll be quite a have you watched the movie there is so that movie has so much action you know

2:04:35 it's very it's gonna be a lot of fun I can't wait but all right um any closing thoughts before we head out I'm really glad we did a second read of it um because this was the very first movie that table read Tuesdays read two years ago a over two years ago now so yeah I'm glad we did it again okay were you a part of it when they did the first read no I didn't start until the second show um The Wizard of Oz and oh that' be fun I actually asked no no the the one I first one I was in was Back to the Future oh my gosh another good one yeah and I usually don't request rules I did I've heard I wanted I wanted to be Elsa and in uh The Wizard of Oz I asked to be the Wicked Witch of the West oh that's a fun roll yeah I'm gonna give you a little demonstration why I asked I'll get you my pretty and your little dog too oh that's great that's amaz amazing I love that oh yeah know I did ask to be Loki

2:05:57 but I'm like I not I'm not going to make it a habit to as rolls I don't think it's fun to have it just happen yeah yeah but Loki's like he's oh I love him he's one of my favorite uh Marvel people yeah it's like it's him Scarlet Witch um I've watched a lot of Marvel too I also like if if we ever did Thor Ragnarok there's like Hela oh used to be addicted to the Marvel series but you never know if we have a lot of fun and have a lot of readers we may do a second one next season oh yes how does that work do they do you have like a full like Zoom call where we just pick movies for the next year or like how does that something like that earlier this year we had um anyone interested wanted to put their inputs in I had a whole list of scripts that we showed you know on the share screen yeah and um talked about you know what people like on that and then we put up a poll and put um you could put your

2:07:07 initials by the ones that you wanted to read and then Vicky and I sat down and took a look at all that data and decided okay here's what will work you know to get a nice blend of shows people want to read and a nice blend of you know yeah versus um film and there we couldn't fit them all in you know there was certainly plenty of ones that we wanted to read too that we just there's only so many a year so yeah yeah yeah I can't wait I can see us doing table read Tuesdays for many many years yes hopefully not gonna run out of scripts anytime soon that's for sure I'm shocked there's like so little people wanting to join these sometimes because there's like 300 of us in this group yeah well a lot of those followers uh they only watch they've never read yeah okay yeah yeah and like most groups things e and flow too so you know yeah seen that in other reading groups sometimes you get a whole influx and

2:08:14 then it kind of goes down and then you get to hold new ones and you know depending on people's schedules and and they're yeah we all and because we're old probably most of us in here are probably actors so they're like getting big roles if they are movies they're working on and stuff and they're like oh I don't time to surprisingly um the percentage of our our members that are actors it's probably more like maybe 30% there's a lot of a lot of writers there's like wide variety of uh that's interesting yeah yeah know some really like the script writing portion too which is why we often you know we show the script because it's very different than seeing just the acting yes know I'm having a lot of fun with it yeah you know a documentary on some movie the other day and they were one of the actors in it was saying how the director was very nice and pretending that the actors actually do contribute

2:09:21 something to the film you know because a lot of lot of times you know people think that that that's all the audience ever gets to see is the actors they don't get to see the C they don't get to see the light person they don't get to see you know the person looking at the script that make sure that oh wait that scene is not consistent with this scene here you know there's so much more stuff and you're like oh and we have actors you know yeah oh it's a lot of fun it's very interesting to see if you ever get a chance to work on a film yes what it looks like and I remember filming something one time with the it takes place in a hospital room and you know hospital rooms are not large you know you've got a bed and maybe test table and you have a person in the bed and maybe a doctor or a technician in there you can see two people and then you have to have the cameraman in there you in there I remember I think I was in the

2:10:17 shower yeah no I it was going on I haven't done many I haven't done many acting things yet but I was in like music videos for a little bit there so there was one time where we were do there's a music video out there where it was for a guy who like does music about suicide and like all that and it was like to try promoting like not doing that and like how to get ways to figure out like it's all these like self-esteem and stuff stuff like that and we were in like this abandoned like water treatment plant and it was like -40 it was gross and the treatment plant had no Heating and half the time we were outside of the treatment plant and the outside was like there's a big lake and we had to walk on this Lake terrifying um and stand on like a big cliff and when you're someone like me afraid of heights and there's a random director with a and then a cameraman who's like if they make the wrong move

2:11:22 they're falling off this Cliff it's the most scary thing ever but yeah know it was it was a lot of fun I do it again but it was terrifying it was cold but yeah know no that' be cold whether it's no matter your temperature still oh yeah you're not you're not Celsius I know we're in Fahrenheit yes that4 Celsius is still bloody cold it is when you when you get down to those numbers they all suddenly they're the same yeah we're both minus 40 well I'm going to uh depart I have a very early morning I have to be somewhere for 6:30 in the morning ouch yeah that's gross yeah yeah that's when they do operations and things yeah oh well have fun I will see you soon Vicky yes two weeks two weeks one week our next reading is actually next week well I'll see you next yeah because we because we had this is an extra reading so we stepping in that's right oh we have one next week and the week after because the
