IMBB #18: Frying Up Green Tomatoes!
August 28, 2005
INT. TRAILER--DAY
The air conditioner of the trailer is going full blast, but it doesn't stand a chance against the hot oil that sputters in front of Caryn as she chats on her cell phone and pokes around in the oil with a pair of tongs. She flips over a battered slice of green tomato to reveal a blonde, crispy underside.
CARYN
Mm. These are perfect. They remind me of home.
INT. WINNIE'S APARTMENT--SAME
Winnie cradles the phone on her shoulder as she paints her toenails a blazing red.
WINNIE
Yeah, I'll have to pick up some of my own at the Farmer's Market today.

Dog Days: Pasta Salad!
August 24, 2005
EXT. MOVIE SET--SOMEWHERE IN OHIO--SAME
Caryn follows Miss A. to the crowded set, only to discover a virtual sea of EXTRAS in Civil War attire waiting for their cue. Miss A. somehow spots Mr. R immediately. Her bee line to him takes out a few extras, but she doesn't seem to care. Caryn cranes to see them when a booming voice yells in her ear.
VOICE
Extras, please come this way!
Caryn is surprised to find that the voice belongs to the timid 2nd 2nd AD she'd met before. The girl seems to have grown quite a backbone in the two months on the job. On a mission, the 2nd 2nd sees Caryn holding the plate of eggplant parmesan and stops.
2ND 2ND AD
Why aren't you in costume?

High Drama: Eggplant Parmesan!
August 20, 2005
INT. TRAILER--SOMEWHERE IN OHIO--DAY
A now refreshed Caryn stirs a bright red tomato sauce simmering on the small stove in the kitchen. She tears leaves of basil into the sauce when the trailer door swings open.
Miss A stomps in with a tattered Confederate uniform sagging off her small frame and a fake rifle swinging at her back. She is surprised to see Caryn, but is less than cordial.
MISS A.
Oh, you're back already? Where is he?
Caryn shrugs her shoulders.

The Mothership: Zingerman's!
August 14, 2005
EXT. HIGHWAY 23--DAY
The music can be heard blaring from the typically white rental car as it passes mile after mile of green farmland. The car speeds past a large blue sign that reads "Welcome to Michigan."
INT. CAR
Caryn makes a valiant attempt to drown out the radio with her stellar, off-key singing. She proudly wears a faded, dark blue t-shirt with MICHIGAN printed in maize-colored letters.
Another sign approaches in the distance. Caryn leans forward to see it. As it comes into focus, she grins: "Ann Arbor, 39 miles."

Family Recipe: Garlic & Green Beans!
August 09, 2005
INT. MR. R.'S HOTEL SUITE--NIGHT
One fantastic dinner is spread out on the table before Mr. R., Miss A. and Lauren. Enough food for twice their number. But the trio doesn't even notice the extensive preparation as they are absorbed in the company of each other.
MISS A.
(laughing)
And if he didn't yell "Cut!" when he did, I thought I was going to die!
MR. R.
I'm fairly certain he did that on purpose.
Laughs all around.
MISS A.
This movie just gets more insane every day.
