And I love this post related to the revisited post in Reply #1424:
Ooh, Alex got the Carlotta death glare! But only for a brief moment. So he failed to turn to stone.
I suddenly want a TV show called "Cooking with Carlotta." "Resist adding more old bay seasoning at this point... IF you can."
I can so see Carlotta delivering the "If you can" part just like she does in upcoming Scene 132.
I actually wish we'd learned what they'd had for dinner. All the script tells us is that Carlotta is capable of making a salad (and Grayson's script adds that she serves it with white wine (that detail of which we almost get to learn on the DVD/Blu-ray but it's cut off before we do). Let's hope Carlotta served something that was much more interesting, not that there's anything wrong with salad and white wine.
I've eaten that combination more than once when I was interested in something light, especially on a hot summer day...
And it's so true that Alex is lucky he didn't turn to stone.
