Makes me want to find this motel & hang in that hot tub myself!!

[André DiMera]

These aren't the best two pictures, but here are some pics of the AmericInn. The first is of the pool room (including the hot tub) and the second is of the hotel lobby. The hot tub is in one of the top corners of the picture.

[sportsgirl]

Very nice indeed! Much more than your normal motel! Love all that wood in the lobby!

[fluffysmom]

Thanks for the visual Andre. Looks very nice.

[Kpatch]

Andre, you should get paid for all the free advertising you're giving AmericInn. I want to go there too.

Casket Picking

This is another scene taken from This Charming Man. It's a relatively short scene involving Vivian picking out a casket to bury Carly in. This scene was mostly cut for timing reasons. However, it also didn't add anything to the story as we already knew Vivian was going to bury Carly alive.

KIRIAKIS MANSION
Vivian is sitting on the couch talking on the phone.
VIVIAN: Yes, This is Vivian Alamain. I would like to buy. casket.
Pause.
VIVIAN: Oh, isn't that lovely? You remember me!
Pause.
VIVIAN: Yes, darling, I need you to do some of your amazing work again.
Pause.
VIVIAN: Mahogany, yes. That would be quite nice.
Pause.
VIVIAN: Sam as last time, but it needs room for an air tank. Not a very large one, only one big enough to last a day or less.
Pause.
VIVIAN: It's better that you don't ask what it's for.
Pause.
VIVIAN: So, what's the cost?
Pause.
VIVIAN: Are you serious? I'm one of your most frequent clients! Don't you have a VIP discount or something?
Pause.
VIVIAN: Oh, fine. I'll have Ivan send you a check.
Pause.
VIVIAN: Yes. Goodbye.

[sportsgirl]

Funny that Vivian is a VIP customer & known so well at a casket store!! LOL

[fluffysmom]

Gotta love Vivian wanting a discount.

Victor Redeemed?

In, A Christmas Carol (Read here: myhourglass.proboards.com/thread/2465/days-lives-christmas-carol), I have Victor playing the part of Scrroge. Also, the Gost of Christmas Yet-to-Come was played by a teenaged Sydney. In her last cene with Victor, there were a few bits of dialogue that were cut out. This is main because, after reading these lines, I thought they made the third ghost, who is often seen as slightly dark and evil, a little too forgiving. Looking back on it, that doesn't make sense, as she had had ome comic relief moments from her very first scene. Either way, here is the scene with lines back in place.

GRAVEYARD
VICTOR: So, basically, because I've been a horrible person, everyone hates me, my son will spend the rest of his life selling himself to women, nobody will even attend my funeral, and Ciara will die within a year. Have I got all that right?
SYDNEY: Pretty much, yeah.
VICTOR: Spirit...are these shadows of a future that will definitely happen? Or, are they shadows of a future that might only possibly happen? Am I able to change what I've seen tonight?
SYDNEY: Possibly.
VICTOR: Why show me this if I am passed all hope, hm? How can I change this?
SYDNEY: You know what you have to do.
The Spirit pointed to a nearby grave covered in snow.
VICTOR: No, I don't! Please, tell me, Spirit, tell me what I have to do! What...who's grave is that?
The Spirit snapped her fingers. The snow fell off of the grave to reveal, in dreary writing, “Victor Kiriakis”.
VICTOR: No!
A large rectangular hole appeared at the foot of the grave.
VICTOR: Please, Spirit, have pity on me! I promise, I'll change! I'll be a nicer person! I'll give as much to charity as I possibly can! I'll stop giving E.J. DiMera a kick in the backside when he's not looking! I'll be nicer to the women my sons and grandson choose to date! I'll do everything in my power to see that Ciara gets that operation! And...and...I'll always love Christmas!
The Spirit stood at the foot of the grave.
SYDNEY: Come here.
Victor walked up to her.
SYDNEY: Closer.
Victor stepped closer.
SYDNEY: Closer.
The Spirit made a motion for Victor to lean over. Victor leaned over so that the Spirit could whisper in his ear.
SYDNEY (whispering): Long live Victor Kiriakis.
The Spirit pushed Victor into the grave. She laughed a wicked evil laugh as Victor fell, slowly. The fall seemed to take forever. Finally, Victor hit the cold, hard ground of his own grave.

Yikes!! Love the line "stop giving EJ a kick in the backside!"

[Kpatch]

I really liked your take on A Christmas Carol, Andre. Victor was the perfect Scrooge.

Basketball Fight

This is another extended scene. This time, it's from the story Summer Breeze (read here: myhourglass.proboards.com/thread/2766/summer-breeze). During the early bits of the story, Philip and Nicholas have an ongoing rivalry that started when they were kids. After learning that Nicholas had an affair with Chloe while she was married to Brady, Philip gets angry. The two ended up settling their dipute on the basketball court. There were really only a few minor things taken out, one of which was a scene of them playing basketball (in the story as is, they had a fist fight on the court). Here is the extnded scene.

BASKETBALL COURT
Philip walks onto the court. Nicholas is already there.
NICHOLAS: Thought you weren't gonna show, Philly.
PHILIP: Oh, I've been waiting for this for a long time, Nikki.
Nicholas and Philip walked up to each other, with baskerballs in hand. It began slowly with each showing off their skills. After making several dunks, Philip threw the ball at Nicholas, making sure it would hit him.
PHILIP: That's for sleeping with Chloe.
Nicholas made several shots and dunks in a row. He then threw the ball back at Philip, hitting him.
NICHOLAS: That's for driving my car into a pool.
PHILIP: Looks like we're doing this the old fashioned way.
The two men ripped their shirts off, revealing their rock-hard abs. Philip proceeded to punch Nicholas in the face several times
PHILIP: That's for having an affair with my mother.
Another punch.
NICHOLAS: Okay, my turn.
Soon, the two were having a full on fist fight. After a few minutes, they stopped for a breather.
PHILIP: So, we're clear?
NICHOLAS: Yeah. We're clear.
PHILIP: Great.
The two shook hands and walked back to the Apartment.
NICHOLAS: I gotta admit, your shots at the hoop weren't too bad.
PHILIP: Neither is your right hook.

[sportsgirl]

I really like this scene especially the part about ripping off their shirts revealing their rock-hard abs!!!

[fluffysmom]

I thought this was a fun scene. Thanks Andre.

End of Summer Beach Party

In Summer Breeze II: The End of Summer (read here: myhourglass.proboards.com/thread/3224/summer-breeze-ii-end), there was a beach party for the end of summer. I've mentioned somewhere before that I gave everyone there an acting exercise and had them stay in character as long as possible. Most of what you'll see here is unscripted. Here is a portion of the acting exercise. It also features a surprise guest.

SALEM BEACH
Listen to the song that's playing:
Parker, Chloe, and Daniel entered.
PHILIP: Daniel.
DANIEL: Philip.
PHILIP: Where's the surfboard? I figured that since this was a beach party I'd see you out here surfing.
DANIEL: It's in the bag. One of those new surfboards that folds up.
PHILIP: Interesting.
CHLOE: Looks like you've got quite a crowd here.
PHILIP: Yeah. There should be more coming, too.
CHLOE: So, this D.J., is he the same one from Chicago?
PHILIP: Yep.
Nearby, Allie was dancing with a boy from school. Theo and Ciara wlked by.
THEO: Great party, huh?
ALLIE: Totally! Glad you could come back from college, Theo.
THEO: Wouldn't miss it.
CIARA: Where's your sister, Allie?
ALLIE: She'll be here, eventually. She and Ceri are getting ready.
On another part of the beach, J.J. and Rhiannon were lip-locked. Just then, a young woman cleared her throat.
GIRL: Having fun?
J.J. turned around to see his big sister.
J.J.: Abby? What are you doing here?
ABBY: I heard Philip was putting on a beach party. Plus, I wanted to meet this girl you've been telling me about.
J.J.: Right. This is Rhiannon. Rhiannon, this is my sister Abby.
The scene will continue tomorrow.
