You get your Starbucks free?? What gives? I've got friends who are baristas here and they only get 40% off! (Hey, is it true that the beans are over-roasted so it loses a lot of the caffeine? I know it's overpriced, but I'm addicted to the caramel macchiatos with long espresso and light whipped. Oh god....)
So I was doing working on Chronicles of Riddick - oops, let's call it "Unnamed Vin Diesel movie". *cough* It was my first day on the set, and there was a HUGE turnover because it was behind schedule and the hours were long and it was all studio and people were getting antsy. So, my first day, I feel like I need to prove myself. And they have these "necromongers", who are like, some futuristic soldier folks (and, as I alluded to before, many of them were pompous, pretentious Asshole extras - but that's a whole other story). They're all wearing scaly black costumes and helmets.
So I see one nibbling at the cast/crew table by himself and I prompty march over there to boot him on his merry way back to extras holding.
Me: Excuse me. This table here is only for cast and crew. And I don't think the stars are going to like it much if the extras have finished all their food. You've got craftie on the other end.
Him: Uh, are you new?
Me: Does it matter?
Him: Have we met?
Me: Nope.
Him: Hi, I'm Karl Urban.
Me: Great. I'm Tiffany ___.
Him: Can I check your call sheet for a minute?
Me: *shrug* Sure.
Him: Oh good, I'm still on there.
Me: What?
Vin: (coming up from behind) Yo Karl. Dave (the director) wants to show us something.
Karl: Nice to meet you, Tiffany.
Me: *putting a gun to my head*
