“They freaked out when I had to do some of the driving though, because I’m from Australia
and we drive on the other side of the street. Josh [Joshua Jackson]
is a little bit scared as I’m looking over the wrong shoulder reversing back.”

(about her character on Fringe) “She’s ridiculously focused and ridiculously determined.
She’s living in a man’s world, and it’s quite fun to not be constantly playing
the love interest. That’s what you get a lot of the time; you’re playing these
flirtatious scenes or you’re going on dates or you’re dressed up.
I love that she’s practical. She wears suits, and she doesn’t wear lipstick;
she just does her job.”

('this' referring to Fringe) As far as the paranormal, I'm a bit of a squib myself.
All the gross stuff, I didn't have any interest in prior to this."

"We’ll just keep going, each season,
we just keep discovering more and more Olivias,
and they just keep getting more and more different
until I end up playing this southern belle who reads palms."

"I haven’t really had the chance to play the alternate Olivia properly for herself.
It’s been our Olivia thinking that she was the alternate Olivia.
And then the alternate Olivia pretending to be our Olivia.
So, it’s been a little bit tough to work that line. What I found interesting
is that how clearly I am now seeing Olivia.
I don’t think you get those opportunities where you actually get
to step back and look at a character with a different
perspective while playing the other."

I've found in my life that the parts that you're right for are the parts that you get.
It's really usually quite easy because you're kind of right."

“I don’t feel like I’ve hit my stride. So I wonder what the moment will be
when I get to be who I want to be.”

“I don’t find guys nervous around me. But maybe guys don’t talkto me
if they’re nervous.”

“I’m terrible at practical jokes. I do them too well, so they’re not funny.
I end up saying, “Oh, no, I’m joking, I’m joking… .”

“They say Australians get that ten-yard stare. It comes from the land
and the horizon. You can see all around you for as far as you can see.
So you just stare. I do it all the time.”

“A friend of mine says his two favorite artists are Picasso and Rembrandt.
Picasso because he paints the beautiful in such an ugly fashion.
And Rembrandt because he paints the ugly so beautifully.”

Thanks for the new thread. What about the title?

Olivia & Guests Survivor - Part One

Scene 5

Olivia & Rachel – Bound

RACHEL: You know, I could have cooked for you.
OLIVIA: Uh, no, thanks. I've tasted your cooking.
RACHEL: Hey, I've gotten really good, you know.
OLIVIA: Oh, yeah?
RACHEL: Yeah. No, I haven't.
OLIVIA: I didn't think so.
RACHEL: Hard day?
OLIVIA: Uh, I honestly wouldn't know what to tell you. And if I did, it would be a felony.
RACHEL: You have a crazy job.
OLIVIA: Yeah, I have a crazy job. Cheers.
RACHEL: Cheers.
OLIVIA: Have you heard from Greg?
RACHEL: I don't know how to do this alone.
OLIVIA: Ella is beautiful, and smart, and strong, and she gets that from you.
RACHEL: Me? no. You've always been the strong one, you have.
OLIVIA: Rach.
RACHEL: I've only done one thing right in my life.
OLIVIA: Then you need to be strong for her. Whatever you need, I'm here.
And you guys can stay here as long as you want.
RACHEL: Thank you.

Scene 7

Olivia & Mr. Jones – Ability

OLIVIA: What is it?
DAVID JONES: First. I need your services.
OLIVIA: What the hell do you want?
DAVID JONES: I need you to pass a test.
OLIVIA: You need medical attention.
DAVID JONES: All of the assistance... in this world... could not cure me Miz Dunham.
It seems that... when one is dematerialized on a molecular level and then reassembled -
there are certain unadvertised side effects. But who knows?
Perhaps this task I have for you could lead to something that might help me.
OLIVIA: Tell me about the attack that you're planning.
DAVID JONES: I wouldn't call it that. I'd call it an insurance policy.
OLIVIA: I don't care what you'd call it.
DAVID JONES: Even as we speak, a white cargo van is transporting an explosive device capable
of killing several hundred people in the manner of the newspaper salesman and your
deceased F.B.I. colleague.
OLIVIA: When is it set to go off?
DAVID JONES: Sixteen hours from now.
OLIVIA: Before anything, you are going to disable that...
DAVID JONES: ...NO. You are. But first, there's the matter of the key.
SANFORD HARRIS: That's enough. I want you out of this room.
DAVID JONES: Don't worry Miz Dunham. If I wanted to harm you, I would have.
Long ago.

Scene 10

Olivia & William Bell – Momentum Deferred

WILLIAM BELL: I know it's difficult to grasp.
OLIVIA: Oh, I can grasp it just fine. I don't trust you, Doctor Bell... or William, or... Willam...
or whatever cutesy name you think might appeal to my childhood instincts. It won't.
Your company has been involved in, if not directly responsible for, some of the most horrific
things that I have ever seen, to say nothing of the fact that you just yanked me into a
parallel universe to warn me about an inter-dimensional war that I believe you are
responsible for starting. So what I want is not warmth, or tea. It's the truth.
WILLIAM BELL: The truth will come out. It always does. Livvy, you don't have to trust me.
You don't even have to like me, but you can't deny I have a unique perspective, shaped by
having lived in two worlds. I know the difference a wrong choice can make... or a right one.
For example, this building is still standing because different choices were made.
So, Livvy, if you can look past your anger, you may find that I am more of an ally than
you think. A storm is coming, perhaps the last and worst storm of all.
And when it is over, I fear there will be little left of our world. The shape-shifters on
your side are looking for someone, someone to open the door between universes,
and if they find him, there will be no stopping them, and that is why you must find him first.
OLIVIA: Me?
WILLIAM BELL: You are the one, Olivia. Of all the children that Walter and I prepared,
you were the strongest. You were always the strongest.

Scene 11

Olivia & Newton – Grey Matters

THOMAS NEWTON: One minute, forty-five seconds. Come on Olivia.
THOMAS NEWTON: Make your choice -- me or Walter Bishop.
OLIVIA: Go to hell. Give me your phone! Okay, you son of a bitch.
THOMAS NEWTON: Do you have the medical kit?
OLIVIA: Got it. Okay, tell me how to do this.
THOMAS NEWTON: Blue... Yellow... Red.
OLIVIA: Okay. Blue, yellow, red.
THOMAS NEWTON: And, Olivia, now I know how weak you are.

Scene 12

Olivia & Ella – Over There Part one

ELLA: Aunt Liv, what time is it?
OLIVIA: It's early. I have to go on a trip, and, uh... I wanted to give you something before left.
ELLA: It's pretty.
OLIVIA: My mother... your grandmother... gave it to me before she died. She told me that it would keep me safe. So now I'm giving it to you.
ELLA: Thanks, Aunt Liv.
OLIVIA: You are welcome, baby girl.

Quote:

EDGE: What is it like being a celebrity at Comic-Con? The vibe must be a bit different for you than those that have to schlep through the crowds?

Katrina Law: Whether you are a ticket buyer, vendor, or celebrity at Comic-Con I think it is just an overwhelming experience. This year it was sold out at 125,000 people. So if you were in San Diego, you were most likely in the middle of a crowd one way or another. It’s fun being part of the show at Comic-Con. You get to meet the fans that love and support your show. You get to say ’thank you’ to the fans in person. When I met Anna Torv from "Fringe," I gotta’ tell ya’, I was a little star struck.
