"OK, cut! That was beautiful. It's a wrap. It's a wrap
everybody...for Once and Again" -
As the last scene of the series finale of ONCE
AND AGAIN/ABC/1999-2002 concludes Sela Ward and
Billy Campbell kiss, the camera pulls away, the
screen fades to black and we hear the director
yell "Ok, cut!. That was beautiful.
It's a wrap.
It's a wrap
everybody...for Once and Again."
Immediately, the set fills with actors, extras
and crew members as they mingle and say their
goodbyes. The camera gets a close up of Sela
Ward and Billy Campbell as they blow the camera
a goodbye kiss.
After the kiss, the screen fills with a series
of interview snipets [shot in black in white]
from the people involved with the show.
The following dialogue is from the last scene of
the show (aired April 15, 2002) followed by the
show's actors commenting on their experiences on
the show that immediately followed the finale
signoff.

Lily:
|
[At the
wedding reception] Rick, are you okay? |
|
Rick:
|
Come here.
[pulls Lily into the kitchen] I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry. I don't know what got into
me. I have been horrible. I made you sick
and I'm not going to Australia. I'm not
going to do the damn job. |

Lily: |
No, listen to
me, Rick |

[The set fills
with people clapping hands and shouting
congratulations. The camera focuses on
Sela Ward and Billy Campbell who blow the
camera a big kiss goodbye. Next we see a
series of interview snipets made by the
cast/crew of the show]. |
|
Writers of the
Show: |
A long
time ago we realized that most of the
process of making a movie and a television
show was about the people who were
involved. And, in fact, there was a deep
connection between the people who were
involved and the product we came up with. |
|
Sela Ward:
|
Oh my
God! I have to play this woman. You know
by the time I finished this script I
went...Damn! I gotta do it. I gotta do it. |
|
Billy
Campbell: |
I've
done...probably as many pilots as George
Clooney. |
|
Susanna
Thompson: |
This one
right here [points to Shane West] he
just...um he just opens his arms and say
hello...gives me a huge hug and I know
it's OK. |
|
Sela Ward: |
[to
Billy] You don't remember that. We didn't
meet there. No, we had a drink at a
restaurant. Do you remember?
|
|
Billy
Campbell: |
You were
having lunch at the same restaurant? |
|
Sela Ward: |
No, I
wanted to meet you...to make sure you
weren't a real jerk |
|
Billy
Campbell: |
[Laughs] |
|
Jeffrey
Nordling: |
The hardest
thing for me I think was I had no
experience with teenager daughters. |
