'''The Serum''' is the two hundred thirty-ninth video in the lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]].

==Transcript==

(''Musical montage of the lab and the process'')

'''Spencer:''' (''Pops out from the side of the camera'') Welcome to our makeshift lab. It's our little refuge away from [[The Order]]. We're trying to create a serum to help [[Bree]] using the blood sample that Daniel got last week. This place actually belongs to my friend Ira Cronenberg...well, it's actually his dad's, um, they're going to turn this into an office building. But you know what it used to be? (''Turns to Taylor, who has been working in the background'') Tell 'em, Taylor.

'''Taylor:''' A morgue.

'''Spencer:''' (''Sniffs the air'') Do I smell rotting flesh?

(''Taylor rolls her eyes in the background. Cuts to musical montage of the lab and the process'')

'''Taylor:''' (''Frustrated'') Spencer, it's not working. It's still white.

'''Spencer:''' (''VO'') Uhm...Might've done something wrong. It's okay. (''Cut shot of Spencer'') Quick refresher, {{wikipedia|zinc_oxide|zinc oxide}} is {{wikipedia|thermochromic}}, so in its crystalline form, when heated, it goes from white to yellow and then back to white again once cooled down. So it should be yellow by now.

'''Taylor:''' Maybe I grinded up the wrong sample.

(''Spencer dipped his finger in the powder'')

'''Spencer:''' (''VO'') You idiot!

'''Taylor:''' (''Worried'') What? What did I do?

'''Spencer:''' (''VO'') I'm just kidding. It's {{wikipedia|calcium}}, no big deal. (''Laughs'')

(''Cut shot to Spencer talking directly to the camera'')

'''Spencer:''' It's strange, trying to save someone you never met.

(''Cut shot to Taylor'')

'''Spencer:''' (''VO'') Taylor, tell me a little bit more about [[Bree]]. I mean, what was she like?

'''Taylor:''' (''Contemplates for a moment and shakes her head'') I-I don't know. I mean, I-I wish I knew her better. They were in Texas for, like, a week, but we spent maybe an afternoon with them. She was really nice.

'''Spencer:''' That's it?

'''Taylor:''' (''Sighs'') Well, [[Daniel]] and [[Jonas]] obviously care a lot about her, so there has to be something special about her that they're willing to sacrifice so much for.

(''Camera pans to Spencer'')

'''Spencer:''' Yeah, my dad too. Man, I hope what we're doing here works.

(''Cut shot to Taylor, who is now holding the camera'')

'''Taylor:''' Spencer decided to take over for me for a little bit because he felt like I wasn't using all the necessary safety precautions. (''Rolls her eyes'') He's getting a little bit paranoid.

'''Spencer:''' (''Looking into a microscope'') Hey, I'm not the only paranoid one here. After last night, we should all be on our toes.

'''Taylor:''' (''VO'') Yeah, [[Alex]]'s video creeped us all out.

'''Spencer:''' (''Looking around'') Wait. What was that?

'''Taylor:''' What was what?

'''Spencer:''' That sound. (''Gets up from the stool'')

'''Taylor:''' (''Whispers'') What?

'''Spencer:''' (''Puts his ear to the door'') Maybe it's a [[Watcher]]. (''Holds in his laughter'')

'''Taylor:''' That's not even funny, Spencer.

'''Spencer:''' Seriously, I'm not paranoid. Paranoia is when you think you're being followed, but you're not. We, on the other hand, are legitimately being followed.

'''Taylor:''' Okay. So if we're not paranoid, then what are we?

'''Spencer:''' Surviving?

'''Taylor:''' (''quietly'') That's deep, Spence.

==Notes==
*Spencer's jokes of the project being endangered ("wrong" ingredients, "heard" a Watcher) appear to be reminiscent of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". If the allusion is intentional, then this vlog entry could be a harbinger of ill events to come.
*Spencer and Taylor's flirtatious attitudes have waned noticeably in this video.

Surprisingly one of Spence's better vids. Kudos to the first person who can make a Userbox saying "The User's ''not'' paranoid -- they're legitamately being followed!" :P --[[User:Phoenician|Pheon]] 18:20, 25 July 2007 (CDT)
:I like that line. Kinda like "Enemy of the State"'s tagline of "It's not paranoia if they're really after you." --[[user:Nieriel.Manwathiel|Nieriel.Manwathiel]]

Nice use of "harbinger," I haven't heard that word since I took the SAT.
:True, that (Glad THAT's ancient history) --[[User:Phoenician|Pheon]] 00:23, 26 July 2007 (CDT)
:Thanks. I have a random vernacular, but I like words that help you stay succinct without annoying verbiage. (Now how's THAT for more SAT words? ;) but for real, I even used the word "vernacular" earlier today when telling a friend a certain word she thought I said wasn't in my vernacular) --[[user:Nieriel.Manwathiel|Nieriel.Manwathiel]]

== ugh ==

I've missed so much in the past four days xP And it didn't help that I got a voicemail saying they were putting up the mission video RIGHT when I walked into my hotel room the first day. I think I'm caught up now :D Love, [[User:-R-|'''Randy''']] ([[User talk:-R-|Say Wha'?]] | [[Special:Contributions/-R-|Whachu Doin'?]]) [1:37 AM, Central Daylight]

Who's Ira??
