The Frappuccino Crisis and Arctic Misery

Don recounts a traumatic day on set when his Frappuccino was missing, leading to a reveal that the crew was forced to work naked in Antarctica to build 'family' while the actors got parkas.

"It was the second day of shooting and I didn't have my frap. And I just lost it for a second there."

"We all had to get into our unmentionables and it was freezing and we were completely miserable."

"They would give the actors the parkas after they would shoot. We had to stay clothesless."

Jango's Duct Tape Miracle and Failure

Jango discusses her lifelong obsession with duct tape, including taping an iceberg back together, but breaks down over her inability to tape the director to the ice to prevent his death.

"The way you gaff taped that iceberg back together, I mean, why we have global warming? Just send you in there."

"Some stuff doesn't tape. Sometimes you can't tape things back together and you have to know that you aren't God."

"I've not been able to tape a director to a cube of ice and then he fell."

CALLBACK

The Script Supervisor's Secret Duty

Don reveals that the most important part of being a script supervisor is keeping the physical paper scripts dry, as wet ink leads to illegible lines and professional embarrassment.

"A big part of what we do is making sure the scripts stay dry."

"If a script gets wet I can't read it, I can't tell what's going on in a scene."

"I'm sorry my script is wet. I'm so sorry."

"Donny boy! Donny with the Frappuccinos!"
