WEBVTT - Lena Waithe on And Just Like That

0:00:01.600 --> 0:00:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know are

0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 1>you a Charlotte? Hi? Everybody, welcome back to Are You

0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:13.120
<v Speaker 1>a Charlotte? We are here with a little bonus episode

0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:18.120
<v Speaker 1>where Lena and I discuss and just like that, please enjoy.

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.280
<v Speaker 2>We were talking about women of color being on the show.

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 2>What I loved about Jennifer Lewis's seeing Jennifer Lewis's character

0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:28.479
<v Speaker 2>in Nikorey Parker's character in the same frame, so beauty

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 2>is it's not just about them being two black women,

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.560
<v Speaker 2>but it was more about them being two very specific

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 2>black women, so specific and so different, and obviously, you know,

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 2>generational differences, and obviously there's humor and dealing with death,

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 2>and I just thought it was so beautifully done. I

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 2>communicated that to Susan, to Jennifer as well, and I

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 2>think that is the evolution of the show as well.

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 2>And it's not just about oh, let's let's put a

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 2>black woman at the table, a Middle Eastern woman at

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 2>the table, but it's really more about well who are they?

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. It's like, I don't, Okay,

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 2>she's black, Great, what else? Right? And I think that's

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 2>where you get Susan Phil's Hill being very culturally specific

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 2>and like like you know, kind of infusing some things

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.040
<v Speaker 2>that maybe she can relate to to the character. And

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 2>the Kolie Parker is fantastic. I'm being a fan of

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 2>hers for a long time. And so I think that

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.479
<v Speaker 2>that's to me is what happens, is like shows grow

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.400
<v Speaker 2>and they shift and they change. But also think we

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.960
<v Speaker 2>live in a very youth leading society as well, So

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 2>when you're watching women who have a certain age, who

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 2>are living certain lives, there is a level of people

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.040
<v Speaker 2>or maybe people who are those characters ages feel like, well,

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't live that way or that's not my experience.

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 2>But I always I say, I try to get away

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 2>from this idea of oh I want to see myself,

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 2>because I can see myself in the lead character in

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Baby Reindeer. And he's a white straight news who is

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 2>like you know in London, is a stroke comedian. And

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 2>even though I don't, I'm not, I don't have anything

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 2>in common with him in that way, I can relate

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 2>to his desire to be desired and his desire to

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>be left alone. Sure, and so and I think, to me,

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 2>it's about what is the human connection that is happening

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:09.239
<v Speaker 2>with that's the character. That's what it's like. I don't

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 2>need a person to be black and queer and female

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 2>like me for me to relate to them. I want

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 2>to know what is it are they struggling with, what

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 2>are they going through? What are they facing in this moment?

0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>And that's the joy of what we do exactly, and

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 1>also relates to someone who has nothing similar exactly.

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 2>That's the whole point. It's like, it's about empathy, it's

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 2>about seeing your humanity as someone that looks nothing like yes,

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.400
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's why it's like again like don't

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 2>don't pascify me, don't don't put characters in there because

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 2>you're like, well, this is the right thing. It's like

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 2>not like do it. If you're going to do it,

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 2>do it, do it in a way that feels organic

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 2>and authentic.

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 3>I agree.

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I agree, And I think for us, like the joy

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>of it, just like that was to get to come

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:51.239
<v Speaker 1>back together with our new people who brought so much specificity, love,

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, joy, like they were so present, everyone brought

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:59.399
<v Speaker 1>their best and that's what we felt when we were there.

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>So sometimes the reaction it just didn't match and then

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:03.639
<v Speaker 1>you're like, what is happening?

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.919
<v Speaker 3>So that's what I was curious about, Well, what is happening?

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 2>And the truth is like, because you can't go to

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 2>everyone's house and ask, you know, and I do that.

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>It's just because I think, and there's so many different answers.

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 2>But again, I think whenever there is turmoil or there's

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 2>sort of a frustration, you kind of have to again

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 2>critique the criticism and say, hey, what's happening. You don't

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 2>always say, oh, I'm you guys don't know because sometimes

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:31.800
<v Speaker 2>people are like say, hey, that's not working for me.

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't get this. Why are they doing that? You know?

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 2>But it is interesting, Yeah, this is cool to have

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>a conversation. Yeah, but the truth is you guys have

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 2>paid the way, you've done the thing you this is

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 2>your stage, right And like when you go see a play,

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 2>you don't get to say I don't like this, so

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 2>what's going on? Totally you kind of say, hey, this

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 2>is what I came to see, and whether I like

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 2>it or not, this is really almost relevant because it's done.

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 3>That's true, that's already right.

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>But we're not living in times like that, which is interesting.

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm just fascinated by the shifting, like where is it

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>going to go? You know what I mean, like what's

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 1>going to happen?

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I also think people just need that. People are frustrated,

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 2>and I think they need something to be frustrated.

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a lot easier to be frustrated.

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 2>By show what's actually happening world?

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 3>And I get that, and I thought was funny.

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.839
<v Speaker 2>You'll see more passionate about that.

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 1>That was That was one thing that I that I

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 1>at the time, I was like I cannot believe the

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 1>the the and like what's happening?

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 3>And then like look over here.

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, but then you go, oh, it's actually the same.

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 3>It's related.

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 2>They're not they're not separate of each other.

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Right, But that's hard to be in that place, you know.

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Right. But I'm a fan of the Book of the

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Let Them theory, are you?

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 2>So it's like.

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:58.720
<v Speaker 1>We love so many surprises from Lena Let them? I mean,

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, yes. I think the hard thing is.

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 3>What do you continue?

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Do you continue regardless of that or do you take

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>it in and think that it means, you know, what

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:13.920
<v Speaker 1>do you do with it? All?

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>And we stopped for now, As I said, I feel

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 1>like there's more to.

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 3>Be to be said.

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I yes, I just don't feel like that was our

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 1>ending because we didn't know it was our ending. I

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't know. I didn't know.

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 2>I had no idea, Like an article on I don't

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:28.840
<v Speaker 2>know that Michael and.

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Sarah discussed that it might end, but no one told

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the rest of us.

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 3>Oh. Interesting, Yeah, I had no idea, no idea.

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>We had dinner the three of us, Sarah, Sin and

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I maybe two weeks after it ended. We hadn't know.

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.239
<v Speaker 1>We we knew, we knew because he told us before,

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 1>like we filmed it, but it hadn't aired, gotcha. Yes,

0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>he would never leave us totally unaware, but we were

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 1>largely unaware, right, I mean every season it was unclear

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:03.279
<v Speaker 1>slightly as it is. Yeah, but also I would see

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 1>a glint in his eye, like a creative glint in

0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 1>his eye, and I would be like, okay, but we

0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 1>were a little burnt at the end of this one,

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 3>I could.

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I felt a different energy, and partly because he was

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 1>going to do the comeback right, right, So the creative

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 1>energy was there, sure, right, and I thought he'll just.

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 3>Need some time off.

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.359
<v Speaker 1>You know, Michael's always going to have ideas, right, So

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.279
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't that worried about it, Like I read I

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 1>read the script, the final script, and I was like,

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 1>that's not our ending.

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 3>That's me. I know, I know, I know.

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>And then so when we had dinner the three of us,

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I said to Sarah, I was like, I just don't

0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>feel that that is like a good end. Well, I

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know quite what happened, because you know, we like

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.480
<v Speaker 1>towards the end. I think I was shooting six episodes

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>at once. Like that's how messy our season had gotten?

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>What I had not filmed the part where I tell

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 1>her that Harry has cancer yet, because I'd gotten COVID

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the week I was supposed to film in July.

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Fourth week, that's happened to us.

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, actor a hot mess. Yeah, felt terrible.

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 1>So because it was a Dwayne Read or whatever it was, CBS, whatever.

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 3>It was, it had gotten pasted.

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it had gotten bumped all the way down to

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 1>the bitter bitter end. Yeah, so like I had to remember, like, okay, wait,

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:19.679
<v Speaker 1>have I told people? Have you not told people?

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Don't you know?

0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>It was all that juggling that you do as an actor, right,

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:29.240
<v Speaker 1>So the Thanksgiving episode, which was general craziness anymore episodes, right,

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>you are the master of Thanksgiving episodes. She's delivering pies,

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 1>whereas not there exactly. There's some bizarre bathroomantics going on.

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 1>So we're having dinner and she's like, I don't remember

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>what happened, and I said, you know, we argue about something,

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know what it was.

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:47.960
<v Speaker 3>She's like, I don't know what it was either.

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>And something is like maybe it had to do with

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Victor Garb and we're like, maybe it did.

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we don't know.

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Like that can't be our ending.

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 2>This is literally a scene and just like you're in.

0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 1>A little small room of this that Sarah had called

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.559
<v Speaker 1>ahead so that we could, and I was like maybe

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 1>three other people there are three other couples, and they were.

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 3>Just like what is going on? We were laughing really hard,

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, I mean we.

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Were laughing really hard.

0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>We had thought this whole thing was pretty funny, but

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 1>only because we were so addled by the end, you know,

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 1>that's my word, not there's like you know what I mean,

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>we were like, we don't know what happened.

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>And Sarah doesn't watch right because she finds it uncomfortable

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>at this point in time to watch.

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 3>So she she was like, I don't know.

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 1>She said, you need to ask me these questions in

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 1>a year when I've had time to process, and I was.

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 3>Like, okay, I will do that.

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna I'm going.

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.720
<v Speaker 3>To catalog this and I'm gonna be like, Sir Jessica,

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 3>I have some questions, what's going on?

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Wow?

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 3>But I mean it's who knows. Who knows.

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 2>I think it's interesting with like endings ye shows hard

0:08:56.520 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 2>and characters so hard, and it's like, you guys live

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 2>in a very specific place for people, because like I'll

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 2>go back and revisit the first movie. You know, obviously

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll go back revisit certain episodes and seasons and things

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 2>like that. And I really like the first season. I've

0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 2>been just like that. I thought it was really interesting,

0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, I do. I think it was.

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:20.560
<v Speaker 3>It was really interesting too.

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:20.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:22.679
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, it's very merriktele and more cod

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 2>because they came back with Mary and Rhoda and it

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:28.560
<v Speaker 2>was like a whole yeah yeah, me too. Were trying

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:29.680
<v Speaker 2>to make it a series, but they made it the

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 2>TV movie And it is that thing of revisiting these

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.559
<v Speaker 2>characters that you know they love and you want to

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 2>see where they are and what's going on. I mean

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 2>and Marion, you know, and Valley Harper. I mean they

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.600
<v Speaker 2>were you know, you know, women of a certain age

0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 2>going back into the work force, different things, and so

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:48.119
<v Speaker 2>you guys are very much a part of that lineage

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 2>and happy. Yeah, it's it's beautiful, it's iconic. And I

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.320
<v Speaker 2>think what you're saying is you're like, oh, now the

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.439
<v Speaker 2>world has shifted and it's different than when we were

0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 2>first doing this. Oh definitely, even when the movie came home,

0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 2>all these different things, Like when the movie came out,

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.320
<v Speaker 2>you guys are gone Oprah and promoted, you know, and

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 2>now it's like, you know, just like that, like Sarah's

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 2>going on Howard Show to talk about what's going on.

0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:11.960
<v Speaker 2>You're like, oh, what what world is this going on?

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 2>So I just think the show continues to grow with us,

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 2>and I hear you on the the endings. It's interesting

0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:24.640
<v Speaker 2>because I still have held off watching the last episode

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.200
<v Speaker 2>of and just like that, I know people that have

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 2>and they're sort of like, no, you gotta have the

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.080
<v Speaker 2>ending in the funeral if you will, And for me,

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm just sort of like I'm not even ready to

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of I haven't watched it, have that last chapter.

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:40.960
<v Speaker 3>I feel the same way, Lena.

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.440
<v Speaker 1>That's why I don't feel finished, do you know. I mean,

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.679
<v Speaker 1>I just don't feel finished. I just don't feel finished.

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna work on Michael Patrack maybe.

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I feel like it could be anything we wanted,

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think we should do a movie in

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>the theaters as special as that was. I feel like

0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>we should maybe yeah, I mean, we'll see what happens

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:00.160
<v Speaker 1>with our company. Me.

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:04.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I know, Gord, I know they may get bought up.

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean again, I know, I know.

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Look, I'm a I love TV. Characters never die though,

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 2>It's true, they just always live on.

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:14.120
<v Speaker 3>It's true.

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 1>But that's why I also feel like I feel like,

0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.320
<v Speaker 1>first of all, I feel just as a woman who

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 1>is my age of Charlotte right, life isn't over, and

0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I feel a responsibility in a way to continue if

0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>we are allowed to continue, because I do feel like

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:36.200
<v Speaker 1>it's important to our original fans who are our ages right, true,

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.080
<v Speaker 1>whose lives also aren't over. That's a thing, it's a

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 1>real thing. They're like, yes and hopefully thriving.

0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:44.959
<v Speaker 2>Maybe with Vertigo.

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'm like Susan, what's up with the vertigo?

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Yes, she.

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Was the expert.

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I had I say, which one of you guys okay

0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.080
<v Speaker 1>because something needs to help me?

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 2>And like I was like, oh, I definitely don't want

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 2>to get listen.

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:04.319
<v Speaker 3>That's how I felt as well.

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I was like, what is happening. It's happening, but look,

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 2>they got to introduce new things to us that we're

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 2>not familiar with and we're not aware of them.

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 3>That's right, I.

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Will say what But me, it was odd that Charlotte

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.640
<v Speaker 2>would't tell the girls about Harry having cancer, because like,

0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 2>what what was the secret?

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:18.440
<v Speaker 3>You know what I thought it was about.

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, this is my I don't circular cancer.

0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 3>It's true, but that was a while ago.

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean that was before the children were born.

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Right, well, yeah, pregnant because right.

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Right, exactly right. I haven't rewatched that part yet, but

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I remember it vaguely. I think personally, this is what

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I personally think. Those children could be very high maintenance. Yeah,

0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 1>so I think Charlotte was trying to protect herself by

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:52.080
<v Speaker 1>not telling them, yes or by her friends, Well, she

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.440
<v Speaker 1>wanted to tell it, obviously, that was really Harry didn't

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.880
<v Speaker 1>want that, right, because Harry was trying to keep it

0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 1>a secret.

0:12:57.880 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, this is also based on a writer's situation.

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.960
<v Speaker 1>In a writer's significant other situation, right, you know, they

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.440
<v Speaker 1>always have to use those yes where I think that

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 1>person had just felt like if everyone knew while they

0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.400
<v Speaker 1>were going through it, that they would have pity for

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:13.840
<v Speaker 1>them to talk to them in a way that would

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 1>make them uncomfortable. They didn't want to make everyone feel bad.

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:19.360
<v Speaker 1>They wanted to wait till it was done.

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.320
<v Speaker 2>I did like the moment where he was watching the

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 2>baseball game and you were like, it's just how you

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 2>want to spend the last moments and he's sort of

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:26.040
<v Speaker 2>like yeah, I'm.

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 3>Like, he's like, don't bother me.

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:27.439
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 1>It's like, do I know it was funny. I couldn't

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.240
<v Speaker 1>feel it was funny in the moment because I had

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 1>to be Charlotte, right, No, But I did I like

0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.439
<v Speaker 1>that scene on the page because that's.

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 3>A very it was a thing.

0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I literally said that to somebody where I was like, Wow,

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:44.559
<v Speaker 2>how do you want to spend your last month?

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.240
<v Speaker 3>I know, I know, I know you don't want to be.

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Doing these sort of forced family oh goodbye, Right, you

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 2>want to do the things that make you happy and

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 2>bring you joy. Absolutely, So that's the thing, and just

0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 2>like that still brings those conversations, mate, it does.

0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:57.960
<v Speaker 3>I know, it does. I agree.

0:13:58.000 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I agree, And that's why I don't feel like we're done.

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.679
<v Speaker 3>But that's that could just be me because that's.

0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Just like that about that chapter, is that you guys

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:05.720
<v Speaker 2>are dealing with mortality.

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I think that's also what about.

0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 2>The episode like splat, you know, but for the most part,

0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 2>right exactly, And.

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that's also some of the reaction. But I

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know that people are aware that that's what they're

0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 1>reacting to, right, well, of course, because why would a

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 1>thirty year old have that awareness, right or.

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Want to be thinking that what I'm going to be

0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:29.640
<v Speaker 2>doing when I'm older?

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 3>Right ahead?

0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Right?

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 1>They would rather think of us in our thirties, right,

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I get it, I get it. I get it, because

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.760
<v Speaker 1>it's also more fun times, totally more fun.

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 3>We've got those crazy outfits. We're running around the streets.

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Still think about West, you know.

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 1>We took in my mind. I remember the conversation where

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Sarah and Michael called me about it, and just like

0:14:54.480 --> 0:15:00.240
<v Speaker 1>that we knew somewhat intellectually, like we had an idea, yea,

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 1>that it was going to be challenging for people to

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 1>come into the new era with us, right, you know,

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 1>we had some understanding of that, but then like the

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 1>reality of it is so much more than your intellectual

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 1>idea of it, you know, the visual reaction that people had.

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 1>But then also I still stand by it, you know

0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.800
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, Like, I don't feel like we have

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 1>to not do something so that people don't get up.

0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Here's the thing, like you can never go home again.

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:30.720
<v Speaker 3>No, you know, if we tried to make the old show,

0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:31.160
<v Speaker 3>it would not.

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Have exactly like the very Oh yeah, you can't be

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:37.800
<v Speaker 2>doing the same age.
