Please welcome a first timer to our show, Lana Parrilla.
(clapping)
So cute.
You look so cute.
That is one sassy outfit.
You look amazing.
Thank you.
Welcome, welcome, welcome, first timer.
I know.
This is so exciting.
Okay, so did my staff already tell you
about my weird recurring dream?
No.
Okay, so check this.
You're like this bartender character now, right?
Yes.
I've had a recurring dream since I was a teenager,
I'm pushing 50, so that's a long time,
where I run the bar and I start a bar fight
and I kick everybody's butt.
I break bottles and I beat people up with pool cues.
The whole nine yards.
I love that fantasy.
I have similar ones but I'm a ninja.
And I do crazy back flips and pour drinks
and mix drinks, hanging from the ceiling.
That is awesome.
Were you ever a bartender in real life?
I was not.
I was a bar-back for a short period of time.
So I was like one step below a bartender.
But that's why you have such smoking hot arms.
Thank you.
I was carrying all the All that liquor
And all the ice.
Yeah, and all the ice.
And then I was a cocktail server for a couple years.
So you know your way around a bar.
I know my way around.
It's fun being on the show playing a bartender now,
because I keep thinking, what would Sam Malone do?
You're one of the last of the
three original characters, right?
Correct.
So the show, it looks like it's
been completely reinvented almost.
It has been.
Explain season seven because that's a pretty big leap.
It is.
Present day bartender.
Yes.
It's about 7-10 years flashing forward.
We are now in Henry's story, so Henry, my,
Regina's son, goes off to find his story.
He wants to know, the first six years
are all one book, one chapter, one book.
This is now.
It's like starting a whole new.
It's a whole new journey.

You know Halloween's coming up and I have some
friends that are worse than children.
They are so in to Halloween.
It's kooky.
They spend thousands of dollars and turn there
houses into these elaborate things.
Are you in to Halloween or?
I am in to Halloween.
What're you going to be this year?
This year, I'm still deciding.
But I really like to dress up as really weird things.
One year I went as Mrs. Roper.
I love that.
I loved it too.
That's awesome.
It was amazing.
Everyone thought I was going to show up in this
cute little sexy deal, no.
I showed up as Mrs. Roper.
I love Mrs. Roper.
That's going to be hard to top, man.
That's a good one.
That's cool.
Harpo Marx.
Oh, I love that.
I didn't speak all day.
I love that, and you had the horn and the whole bit.
I had the horns and the giant scissors
and the dead chickens and really weird things in my coat.
I'm so ripping that off next year.
It was a good one.
I am ripping that off.
And the big wig and the whole thing.
The big wig and the hat.
You must have been adorable.
I went to the Salvation Army and bought
a bunch of old men's clothes.

So, anytime we have a new guest, we play some game.
Almost as if we were playing with shots in a bar.
Well we've got those breakaway bottles.
So pick three out of five and there's
some truth or dare stuff in it.
I've no idea, so don't blame me.
I love to break things.
I know, right.
This is awesome.
Alright, pick one.
This one.
Break it.
Do I just smash it on the?
If it looks like it hurts.
No, it doesn't hurt at all.
Break the next one over my head.
Don't mess with me.
I know, isn't it cool?
Yeah, this is totally.
This is just like my dream come true.
I feel like I just did that.
Do your best evil laugh.
(laughing)
(clapping)
Nicely done.
That's the evil queen laugh.
Alright, now break one on my head
like I'm coming at you in a bar.
I'll close my eyes.
Ready?
Yeah.
Did that hurt?
It was awesome.
No, I loved it.
Here, it's down here.
I felt bad about that one.
Pretend you're walking downstairs.
My husband does this so good.
Oh geez, let's get this out of the way.
He also does the escalator and the elevator.
I think I left something in the basement.
Be right back.
(laughing) (clapping)
You're so funny.
I want you to come to game night every week.
Okay.
Okay, pick one more.
Okay, this one.
Nicely done.
Who was your first kiss?
I hope it, well first of all, was it a good one?
We don't want to embarrass the person.
It was.
It was awkward because it's your first kiss.
So it's always like, what am I doing?
It was Richie Russo.
Richie Russo.
I was 13.
Yeah.
Hi Rich.
You are awesome.
Come back all the time.
Once Upon A Time airs on Friday's at 8 PM on ABC.
