35
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 4: That's the laptop situation. She turns around and you're just like, yo, yeah.

36
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: She's unbelievable. And she doesn't even I think she says

37
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: like a word or two and she is unbelievable.

38
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple of words. She is the jam.

39
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 3: The synopsis in Scandalpace is Melly is still trying to

40
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: recover from the public backlash of the last year, so

41
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 3: she decides to do a hard hitting news interview. Meanwhile,

42
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 3: as Cyrus continues to plot against Sally Langston, we learned

43
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: how fits Melly and Cyrus became a team.

44
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: Back at Opia. Huck continues to push Quinn way, but

45
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: Quinn's bloodlust could get her into some dangerous situations. Many

46
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: truths are revealed in a fifteen year flashback. The flashbacks

47
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: in this episode are epic. Just the facial hair and

48
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: wigs alone deserve a shout out.

49
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: Let us begin there because saw Jeff Berry as Derek.

50
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: Jack, I thought I was, let me tell you, as

51
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: as a character that had a beard glued on my face.

52
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: Often for homeless huck or hagrid huck is something that

53
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: shit is not fun. At least his was shorter, but

54
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: mine was. I remember thinking, oh, damn, I'm in homeless Hucks.

55
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: So I can't eat because you can't eat because all

56
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: the hair gets in your mouth when you're eating.

57
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: Is this the worst?

58
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: It's terrible, terrible.

59
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: Ton cryer, shout out to cry.

60
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: We have worked on my flashback leg so hard and

61
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: we were both so excited for this flashback, and I

62
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: was like, Mellie's gonna be ten and she's gonna have

63
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: a bub and she lives in California, California, And we

64
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: were overdoing the scene when Cyrus is leaving and he's that, man,

65
00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: is your job right?

66
00:03:59,320 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: I forget it?

67
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: And I'm like, come back, tomorrow he'll be ready to work.

68
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: And but we're shooting that scene and I'm not sure

69
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: Cattleman had directed us before.

70
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 4: I wouldn't being nervous.

71
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: Because I didn't know him and they were sending he

72
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: turned out great, Michael Cattleman, where were you are? I

73
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 2: didn't know they were sending footage over so Tom Verica

74
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: could have eyeballs on it as we were going along,

75
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: and they decided to do the flashbacks and like a

76
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: blue filter so it was different from present day. So

77
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: we're outside in that driveway of that house over not

78
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 2: far from the studio, and it's hot, and so all

79
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 2: the tape that's holding all of Jeff Perry's not on,

80
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: but also his face back because they've got those frownies

81
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: on him.

82
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 4: When I ever saw those, are those.

83
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: Of you guys listening? Not only did he like that?

84
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 3: Don't know? It means they take these like strings with

85
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 3: tape and they basically give you a face, your excess

86
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: neck skin and your cheek skin so that it like

87
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: makes you go through like a wind tunnel to make

88
00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 3: you look younger.

89
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: I don't have to have surgery, but for the ten

90
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: hours you're going to be filming, you look younger people.

91
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 4: You should look into them.

92
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: Everybody better or you cut yourself. Just give yourself a

93
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 2: little try it out.

94
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 4: Drive it stop there.

95
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: And things keep pop popping. We have to stop, and

96
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: then gluing back down and gluing back down. I see

97
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: Tom Berer, I see a car come up like it's

98
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: a cop show, and he pulls in and like parks

99
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: and falls out of the car and like leaves the

100
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: door open.

101
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: Comes on set and I think it's not that bad.

102
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 4: Don't make Jeff feel bad and goes inside and we

103
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 4: all stop and we're like, what should we are we? Honey,

104
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 4: he's watched the video and I have tanned myself to

105
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 4: a point under a blue filter at which I look

106
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 4: like and I have the same skin.

107
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: Oh my god, de remedy.

108
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: The fact that they need to differentiate between me and Carer.

109
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: Shut the hell up. I am wait, And had you

110
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: had already shot a bunch of stuff.

111
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 4: We had the first third of the day.

112
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 2: They were like, stop, we need to adjust the lighting.

113
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: Are we going to keep the blue filter?

114
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 4: What are we gonna do? Can we take her makeup down?

115
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: Ducks?

116
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: See he didn't like it either.

117
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 3: I love the idea behind it. And it looked whatever

118
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: everybody did, whether they adjusted the lighting or took down

119
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 3: the tan for the California beach. Babe, you look exquisite,

120
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: not rely that, but so much of your acting. And

121
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: we always have a carry Washington School of Acting moment

122
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 3: in this show, which definitely goes to Melle. Oh my god,

123
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: like yes, but my I just like between the flashback

124
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 3: makeup and also like Melle not being the Melly we

125
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 3: know yet you're doing all these scenes where you're not

126
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: as good at giving a speech or you're not as

127
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 3: sure of yourself, You're not as.

128

130
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that Melo version of Melly was so much closer

131
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: to you, right, obviously.

132
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 4: That's cool.

133
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 3: Does everyone listening Gladiators know that Melly was not going

134
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: to be Melly? Like you tell us how you book

135
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: this job and like it wasn't supposed to it was

136
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: because you made such an impression.

137
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 4: I don't know about that. So here's okay.

138
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: Oh the backstory being wonderful Linda Lowie that now everybody

00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: So's she's the best.

142
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: She saved all of our lives, our lives, so many lives.

143
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: I'd just gone into audition for her for five hundred

144
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: different things and not booked four hundred and ninety nine

145
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: of them. I like she said on like when she

146
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: was talking to you know, I don't know why you're

147
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: in the room. Do your best work, leave your heart

148
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: in the room and going about your life. Everything is

149
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: in higher hands. So I've done that a lot, so

150
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: I'll had all that taste of rejection. And I never

151
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: really got to do Grays because I did the private

152
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: practice that was embedded in Grays, the like embryonic private practice.

153
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: So I was in that part and that's the only

154
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: Shondaland job I had. But they, you guys, were filming

155
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: the pilot the next day. They needed someone to stand

156
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: beside Fitzgerald Grant and wave a little and be the

157
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,480

Speaker 3: if you would book something else.

267
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 2: I was also recurring on Criminal Minds and we were

268
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: trying to offer me like something over there, and so

269
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: they were trying to leverage it. They didn't think anything

270
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 2: was right the Scandal for some reason. But then I

271
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: thought for seven years, I was I was going to

272
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: get killed off Scandal.

273
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: So did we all of us did remember every every

274
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: new episode, we'd be like, I'm still here, thank god

275
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: every episode.

276
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 4: But yeah, I was.

277
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 2: They tried to leverage Criminal Minds with Scandal. It did

278
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 2: not work, Peter Yo.

279
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: But as an actor, right, these are so few and

280
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: far between, these moments, these experiences where you do have

281
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: a small role and then it turns into a big,

282
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: significant role on a show. I did Weeds. I was

283
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: supposed to do four episodes on Weeds and I ended

284
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: up doing eight seasons of Weeds. And it was literally

285
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: I had four or four episodes whatever. I was like

286
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: a gang banger, no big ship. And the next thing

287
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: I knew, I was like they.

288
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 4: Kept bring I can't imagine without you.

289
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: It was thank you.

290
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 3: Any other big one isn't dread Mateo like she's the

291
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: other famous one, like Bellamie on Sopranos, Drea da Matteo

292
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 3: is like a huge prolific role.

293
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: Is she married to Taturo's character, not Toaturo Michael Imperio.

294
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: She's married to Michael Imperio.

295
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 4: I'm gonna pull out my.

297
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 3: a tiny co star.

298
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: Josh was not a series regular until I.

301
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: we have to read guest starring Bellamy Young, George Newbird,

302
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 3: it was so crazy. I'm like, what they started the

303
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 3: whole show. We were all on the same show. Can

304
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,720

311
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: Cattleman and I didn't know Barry, and so I was like, oh, hell,

312
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,840

313

Speaker 2: is such a great actor. And a great guy. So

314
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: it was all wonderful lessons, lessons everywhere I turned, all

315
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,000

00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: It's face. I really did forget about hucked face.

320
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: There was a lot of huck face. This is the

321
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: episode where spider bit me on my face on your

Speaker 1: got punched dead ass, punched in the face and you

325
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: could see the little spider bite in some of the

326
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: closer on your eye.

327
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 3: Like they did a good job. I don't think anyone

328
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 3: else would have noticed, but I was like, oh, this

329
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 3: is when Jerima was having something fucked up, Like what.

330
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: Happened now to Gueramo. Yeah, he's got a.

331
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,120

332
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 3: at his face blew. Yes, yes, when we were shooting,

333
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: we've had some stats and.

334
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: Then this jazzy little spider comes and bites me on

335
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: my fucking eye.

336
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,360

Speaker 3: answer this years and years together. I would like to

338
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,880

00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: No swear, I loved every second of being Melly. I

341
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: loved it. I loved it because at first.

342
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 4: It was just like, who gets that great material? Do

343
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 4: you know?

344
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: So I'm just so grateful to have something great to

345
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: work on and great people to work on it with.

346
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 2: Eventually they'd write these little one act plays. When they

347
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: shot Tony and he's like comatose in the bed, Jeffy

348
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 2: and I have like a whole one act play over

349
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: his sleep, and damn body had the easiest day that day.

350
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 4: We were all like, oh, it's my next line, and he.

351
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: Was like, and he's he truly fell asleep probably right

352
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: part of it, and we were like, oh, you gotta wait.

353
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: But I think about at first, I really also because

354
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 2: I'm not so good at conflict, but Mellie was so like,

355
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: really it have these big fights with people, and they'd

356
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 2: be like, I'm so swarm storms.

357
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 4: It's just a character, and I'm just saying with the road.

358
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: But eventually I'm an exorcise.

359
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 4: This part of me. I'm gonna go to work.

360
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: Get that part out, Get it out. Yep, love that.

361
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 4: Let's do this between her thighs. Let's have it now.

362
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 4: I can just.

363
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 2: Remember with Jeffy, or with Tony or with Carrie. We

364
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: just got to do so much good work. It's the

365
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 2: work I remember.

366
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: But what I hate the most is that we didn't

367
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: get to interact that often, right Katie, myself and Mellie.

368
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: Which can you guys remember if we did have.

369
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 4: A location, it was something to do with a collection.

370
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: Yes, I remember at the edge with Cornelia's and.

371
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 3: Operation and all that, because cars what it was we did.

372
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 2: If there was an early one too, maybe it was

373
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: a flash No, it wouldn't have been a flashback. I'm

374
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 2: telling you guys, I've never watched Scandal. I don't know

375
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 2: what happened.

376
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: Wait, are you being serious?

377
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 4: No, I'm being serious because we tweeted.

378
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you would be the person that would watch the episode.

Speaker 3: in your phone tweeting.

385
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,800

00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: grass and joy and overwhelm and memories and oh, I'm

Speaker 3: We feel so lucky hosting this podcast. In all honesty

393
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 3: because I say this and I don't mean to sound conceited,

394
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 3: but the show holds up, and the world is so

395
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 3: great and the writing is so great, and I'm watching

396

Speaker 3: everything on TV now and Scandal is right there.

397
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's such a gift. Yeah that we got to

398
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: rewatch it. It's and now we're far away from it iney, Yeah,

399
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: where I can watch myself and not be like, oh God,

400
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: why did I do that? I wanted to do it

401
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: this way. I'm just enjoying it.

402
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 3: And I don't remember anything. Quinn comes up.

403
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: I don't remember anything yet.

404
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 3: What I'm like, I didn't know she did that. I

405
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 3: don't remember any of it.

406
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: Quinn did a lot in this episode. Gwynn really step

407
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: in this episode.

408
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 3: She really steps in it.

409
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: Wow, kissing I didn't remember. Oh yeah, I don't remember

410
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 2: you kissing George there.

411
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: I didn't remember that either yet.

412
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: I saw a tongue between Mellie Grant and Fitzgerald Grant

413
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: and I liked it.

414
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I saw that too.

415
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 4: My husband.

416
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 3: I think it was Tony's tongue for sure. We're gonna

417
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: ask him now. Look, in the days of Scandal, this

418
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 3: was pre intimacy coordinator. So yeah, we did not have

419
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 3: any of this stuff. And also Tony, I have also

420
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 3: had to make out with Tony in scenes on Scandal.

421
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 3: Crazy most respectable, amazing dude. So I don't mean to

422
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 3: be like Tony talking whin tongue all the time, tongued down.

423
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: Listen, you got it's gotta be believable. You gotta give

424
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: if they're that close up on your face and it's

425
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: a merry come on, we weren't you have to hear.

426
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: In that scene?

427
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: Yes?

428
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 3: Wait, had you had like major sex scenes with Tony

429
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 3: before like that where it was like, I don't.

430
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 4: Remember that one, so maybe everybody else can tell one

431
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 4: had to be in the shower.

432
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: Oh, the shower one we did that episode?

433
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I think we did that.

434
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, how are you going to keep your

435
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 2: modesty appliances on under the waterfall, and I remember that,

436
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: but I don't think there was much loving, much other loving.

437
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: Right, it was so believable Mellie with Tony and Tony

438
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: like that.

439
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: Beginning sex scene was great and the camera was all

440
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 3: up in your ship and I just thought you were

441
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 3: so like giggly cute, Oh my god, and like it's

442
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 3: so great because we don't see that these are so great.

443
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 3: We don't see Melly, and this episode is really it

444
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 3: justifies so much of why Melly is Melly is.

445
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that's It was such a like an

446
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 2: act of compassion to meet her then see her just

447
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 2: loving fits.

448
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: This was your seven fifty two. I feel like this

449
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: was your seven fifty two, right, Yeah, your flashbacks, your backstory,

450
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: all that stuff.

451
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you read it and saw that there was

452
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 3: this rape scene between your father in law and you,

453
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 3: were you like, let me do a quick email as Shonda,

454
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: nor did you just jump in both feed and trust?

455
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 3: What was your process around that? In zense, I.

456
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: Didn't cotton on to the fact that we could have

457
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: conversations with Shonda about changing scripts.

458
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: I would never do that. There was never did it.

459
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: I think Henry ian Cusick was the only one that

460
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: ever emailed or I think I'm still going.

461
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 4: To lee, And I was like, how am I?

462
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 2: How can I take care of myself in this How

463
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: can I tell this story the best? What can I

464
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 2: say on set that keeps me? What's appropriate to say? Again,

465
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 2: like you say, we didn't have intmacy coordinators? What's appropriate

466
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: to say to take care of myself in this situation?

467
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 2: And what is what do I just have to let

468
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 2: go of and let happen?

469
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: Well, my god, Bells, you did a beautiful job. And

470
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: not only that scene where he's attacking you and so sad,

471
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: and then we just there comes there's a moment when

472
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: you just see Mellie give up, and that's so powerful.

473
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: It's just you just lose all just expression on your

474
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: face and it's so beautiful. And then also what stood

475
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: out for me was this scene when you're walking back

476
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: into the bedroom where Fitz calls you to the bed

477
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: and it's close upon.

478
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 3: You and we see him in the backwer no, get

479
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: over here.

480
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: I have chills right now. You probably see the hair

481
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: standing up on my arm. It's crazy. Your work was

482
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: so beautiful in that scene.

483
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 2: Really, it's just so sad and relatable. It was just

484
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: the shame of it was easy to find.

485
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 3: You think she doesn't tell him, like, why does she

486
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: not tell it's the right It's not the right choice.

487
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 3: It's the most interesting choice for the show. I think.

488
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: I'm just like it makes Melly who she is. It's no,

489
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 3: I'm gonna accept this. I'm gonna not fuck up my

490
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 3: marriage because of this, and I'm going to use it

491
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 3: for our advantage because I am the political This is

492
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 3: the birthplace of the political animal. Everything I've came to

493
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,239
Speaker 3: be to become Melly plus this equals the woman we

494
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 3: know today. That's the thing.

495
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: When I read the script, it was like, oh now

496
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: it all makes so much sense. But I think looking back,

497
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 2: like coming in the flashback in the moment, I think

498
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 2: she is a person who doesn't see herself as a victim,

499
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 2: like she should have been able to stop it and

500
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: why did it happen? And not ready to share it

501
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 2: yet and and then the yet never ends. And then

502
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 2: knowing I have discused me as a lawyer, mind, this

503
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 2: gives me power. I will leverage that and I'll deal

504
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: with it emotionally another day, but right now, and get

505
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: what I need, and what I need is what we need.

506
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 2: But then fifteen years later you are such a little

507
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 2: pussball of resist And so I was like, oh, that

508
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 2: explains everything to me. Yeah, how she is where she is,

509
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 2: who she is in the present, like all the rage

510
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: and anger and disappointment and yeah again whenever that was that,

511
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: I did at some time get to scream at him

512
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 2: about it being my turn, Like when was it going

513
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 2: to be my turn?

514
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 4: After all? I gave up for him?

515
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you think she ever told fits? Thinking outside

516
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: of what we see what we saw on the show,

517
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: I wonder if Nellie ever had a moment where she

518
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: was she told fits what happened, you know what I mean.

519
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 2: I don't think she did, which is an act of

520
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 2: love in itself, because that is the most like when

521
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: you think about me, you could say to somebody in

522
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 2: a fight, that's the most.

523
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 4: Vicious thing I think, especially like once little Jerry was deceased.

524
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 4: I just think that was never just oh my god, Jerry,

525
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 4: your son.

526
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: He died.

527
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 3: Got about that too?

528
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: Oh shit?

529
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 4: I don't know, God upset?

530
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 3: Why does Melly hate little baby Teddy?

531
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: So listen, first of all, it's little Gomez. Doesn't he

532
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: look like from the Adams family? With that parted hair.

533
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: I was like, why did they make him look like Gomez,

534
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 1: like baby Gomez from the Adams Family.

535
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 2: And this episode is he's huge.

536
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: He's huge. Oh my god, Bellamy me too. I wrote

537
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: it down as one of the memorable lines. He's huge.

538
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: You could see the hate Melly's hate for this kid.

539
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 3: Also, that little kid was a girl, right, that they

540
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: just cut the hair to be a boy.

541
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: Wait, one of them was I don't know if it

542
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: was that one. One of them was Belly's.

543
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 3: Bellamy's laughing because she doesn't know that one.

544
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 4: That's terrible.

545
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: No, I think that one was a girl. I could

546
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 3: be wrong.

547
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: I feel very bad that I we always had twins

548
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 2: and that part I didn't.

549
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure that baby girl would come into set,

550
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 3: into the hair trailer when I was.

551
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 1: There and they would they'd be like, this boy, oh look.

552
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 3: She finally has grown in some of her hair from

553
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 3: the last time she worked, and they'd be like, she's back.

554
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 3: Time to give her that Gomez.

555
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: Dude, Yo, Katie, can we please have that actor on

556
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: the podcast? How old do you think she is? Do

557
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: you think she is?

558
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: She can definitely speak for herself. We have to have it.

559
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: We have to have her, and we have to have

560
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: a Bellamy back to be on episode.

561
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: On behalf of everyone.

562
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 4: I apologize for your haircuts.

563
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 3: You're carrying this baby in the hallway, and who comes

564
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 3: up to you, Kate.

565
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: Burg Sally Langston. Yes, only time in.

566
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: Seven years that Mellie isn't going to coming from doing something.

567
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,959
Speaker 2: I'm literally wait, lying in wait, standing still in the

568
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 2: hall holding a baby, trying to look innocent, like waiting

569
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 2: to like try and lure Sally into a trap about

570
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: her husband being a lathario.

571
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: With baby Gomez your arms. We will be.

572
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 3: Back with more after the break. I think the Kerry

573
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 3: Washington School of Acting Award goes to Mellie Grant in

574
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 3: this episode and the young's work. The award goes beginning

575
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 3: flashback scenes of you tongue smooching it's the fucking best,

576
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,959
Speaker 3: and the giggling and all of this into the awful

577
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 3: rape scene, into the post scene of the rape, and

578
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 3: then I'm obsessed with your ending scene where you're doing

579
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: this stuff you talked about. You're like toasting and you're

580
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 3: just like, we're gonna do it, and you're unsure, like

581
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 3: you're acting. Bellamy is like you're like so not as

582
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,239
Speaker 3: great as you became at giving a speech, and I

583
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 3: know that was an acting choice and.

584
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: It was so good.

585
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,719
Speaker 3: But you won all the awards this episode deservedly. So

586
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 3: we always talk about the food in the episode, which

587
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 3: all I took for my notes was shitloads of grapes.

588
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 3: Everyone's plate just has grapes, and I'm just like, oh god,

589
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 3: no adult grabs that as a snack. Like clearly this

590
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 3: was season.

591
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: Three when a lot of us were like, oh shit,

592
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: I could see the camera does add ten pounds, let me,

593
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: let me get grapes for the scene. Let me eat grapes.

594
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: But the only there was one person eating, and it

595
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: was George in the car.

596
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 4: Carge car always eat a sandwich or something.

597
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 3: Right, sandwich?

598
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh god.

599
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 3: I wanted to make out too.

600
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, how is it? How is that that?

601
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 4: It's so funny to watch.

602
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: That knowing their relationship now that they're oh my god,

603
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: like the best.

604
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 3: I remember reading it and being like, are we doing this?

605
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 3: Is this what we're doing? First of all, I felt

606
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 3: bad at the time because I remember this, but we're

607
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 3: twenty five years different, I think, or maybe twenty two

608
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 3: something like that, And he was getting a lot of

609
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 3: shit in the pickup line at his kids' school. He

610
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 3: was because his kids were like young, and then all

611
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 3: the moms and dads would be like, saw scandal last night,

612
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 3: Like how's it? Uh? Oh shit, it's so stupid. But

613
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,719
Speaker 3: I remember that going on. But no, I remember being

614
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 3: completely out of left field, and then I remember not

615
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 3: really getting it. And then when we shot it, I

616
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 3: was like, Oh, this is hilarious and amazing and so

617
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 3: scandal and it makes perfect sense. And I'm just not

618
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 3: ever smart enough to be a scandal writer, so I

619
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 3: would never come up with something like this. But it's perfect,

620
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 3: and we just have chemistry completely different than the Quinnhuk chemistry.

621
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 3: It's a different thing, like that betrayal.

622
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 4: Oh my god, you did that.

623
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 3: Oh I don't remember doing it. I don't remember shooting it.

624
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 3: I don't remember sing a thing in a guy's hand.

625
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 3: I don't remember running like that. Was it out of

626
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 3: my mind. I remember like having blood off. I don't

627
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 3: remember any of it.

628
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: Wow, it was really cool.

629
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 3: I think the episodes were coming so fast and furious

630
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 3: at this point.

631
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: I didn't have time. I completely think about that.

632
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, episode seven in the first season, when Quinn is

633
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 3: also covered in Gideon's Blood. I remember shooting it. I

634
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 3: remember shooting it. I remember every minute of it. But

635
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 3: now that we're in episode three oh seven, I and

636
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 3: the next one was probably like coming in two days

637
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 3: and I was like so stressed about memorizing the lines,

638
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 3: and or it.

639
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 2: Was three episodes later and this was a reshoot one

640
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 2: night to pick up by a dumpster, like you're.

641
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 4: Being recruited, right.

642
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: That's why I can't remember anything, because there was so

643
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: much extra film. Do you remember the last episode whatever

644
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 2: we did. She might have lived at the table read

645
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: and died in the episode, or maybe it's opposite. So

646
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 2: much changed.

647
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 3: I remember going into a d R and saying, Oh,

648
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 3: I can't wait till we get to that scann Rewatch podcast.

649
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 3: Whoever that actor was, I don't remember he I will

650
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 3: get there when we get there. But I remember being

651
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 3: in ADR and then being like, nope, he's dead. And

652
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 3: he was alive when we shot it, and they just

653
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 3: literally changed my line when it was on his back.

654
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 3: That was like and he never woke up again. And

655
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 3: I wave to the sound department and I was like, wait,

656
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 3: this guy is dead. Yeah, he's done. I was like oh, which.

657
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: Means like dead in real life.

658
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 3: No, somebody just didn't like it. They just like, that's hilarious. Careful.

659
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, oh god, now.

663
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 3: on in later seasons, Quinn will get there had a

664
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 3: lot of the plot talking about when we were doing

665
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 3: the cases of the week, and so when they would

666
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 3: rejigger the plot for whatever way, they could just change

667
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 3: it when it was not on my face but on

668
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,200
