Synopsis reads, 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.240 The big day has finally arrived, and the gang gathers 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:39.479 at the hospital to await the birth of Haley and 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:43.159 Nathan's baby. While they wait, they reminisce about the memories 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:48.040 they shared over the years. Boy do they And it 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:52.239 was directed by mister sex Pylon himself, Austin Nichols. 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.600 I did not realize he directed this episode. 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:57.360 By the way, I didn't eat. 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.840 I really forgot, and I was watching it thinking who 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:01.520 directed this? 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:02.360 This is lovely? 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:07.039 Oh my gosh, he did such a great job. Oh 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:09.600 my gosh, there's so much to talk about with this episode. 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.200 I know that you're feeling a little. 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.399 Like you weren't given enough material, Rob, because it was 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.280 like a three day shoot for the entire episode. We 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.880 had no material, no new material. It was very little 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:23.760 and the rest of it was flashbacks. 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:25.080 But I actually, really. 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.800 I think the fans probably loved this episode because this 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.120 was obviously before streaming and so a chance to be 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.480 able to revisit all of these meaningful moments, and I 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.520 thought they were really expertly woven into the story and. 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:37.360 I loved it. 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.279 It made me really happy to watch all those old moments. 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.679 I loved it too. And the irony is well two things. 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.360 I thought it was really well done. I think Austin 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:51.560 did such a great job, yeah, truly weaving this moment 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.080 where we're all sort of frozen in time in the hospital, 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.640 with these stories that make these characters who they are. 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.720 I think the device of having Jamie asking all these 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:04.400 questions is great. And it dawned on me when we 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.280 first got on our zoom and you were like, well 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:10.560 the sixteen minutes of material in this episode from Rob, 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.840 I went, oh my god, it was I'm telling you. 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:18.280 Two minutes before the episode ended, by myself in my apartment, 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.280 I went Puerto Rico. I just like yelled it like 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:25.360 mad libs because I realized I realized we needed so 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.880 many extra days to go and shoot that episode. 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.280 Oh that's what it was. 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.840 Yes, and Joy, you had just had your actual baby. 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.640 Yes, so I was on my maternity leave. 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:42.519 And essentially they had to they had to save days 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.240 so the budget from this episode could both give you 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.040 time off and then the extra days could go on 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.360 the Puerto Rico episode to get everybody down there to 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:58.880 shoot that travel extravaganza. And it it. I couldn't figure 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.119 it out, and then I did, and I'm just then 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.280 I did I feel that I've solved a puzzle that 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:04.920 matters to no one, but it mattered to me. 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.440 Yeah. And what Joy was saying earlier was I wasn't 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.240 upset about the amount of material Clay had in the episode. 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.560 I was joking before we started the podcast, saying we 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.920 have fourteen and a half minutes of actual new content 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:17.440 to discuss. 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.240 Oh, yes, sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.880 seemed unhappy with your own amount of work. That was 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.040 not I knew what you meant, but yes, thank you 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:25.520 for clarifying for our listeners. 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.920 Sorry say so. A couple of things. One for our 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.359 fans that who aren't in the biz, A Bottle episode 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.800 is it's sort of an episode that you have to 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.200 catch up on the budget to save some money because 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.280 you've maybe overspent or maybe you have a big expenditure 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.800 coming up. So typically it'll be like a limited amount 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.920 of the cast or or all the cast, but in 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.840 like one location, so it's very easy to shoot. You 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.760 can shoot it quick. This is the This is the 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.640 MVP of Bodle episodes. I have never seen one done 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.240 better because not only is all of the cast in 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.800 one location, but genuinely forty to fifty percent of the 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.600 of the episode is flashbacks. I was watching this just going, 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:05.560 this is freaking genius. 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.480 Yeah, and it managed to be good. It didn't feel 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.640 like it was hodgepodge together yes because they had to. 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.320 It actually felt really organic to the episode to me. 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.120 Yeah. And I got to say, as someone who is 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:21.600 not familiar with the earlier seasons, I freaking loved it 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:25.320 because the first time I cut to a scene of 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.279 Nathan and Haley and I was like, oh my god, 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.280 they how did they make James look so young? And 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:33.960 it was, oh my gosh, no, this is actually just 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.800 ye baby, James and baby Joy, Like, yeah, it was that? 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:41.120 Was that your guys' first kiss? That a dare you to? 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:43.560 Yeah? 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:47.040 I was, dude, you were so good in that scene. Joy. 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.800 My main takeaway was for the age you were at 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.000 and what we were doing. I just thought like you 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:57.680 were so steady and like grounded in yourself and you 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.560 were doing almost nothing while doing so much. But I 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.640 was just I remember just thinking like wow, at that age, 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.600 Joy was really crushing it. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.720 Thank you. I really appreciate that. 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.040 I have a I have a hard time watching myself, 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.359 particularly at that at that age, and couldn't you know, 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.120 I know, I notice all of the things about myself 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.960 that I don't like or didn't like, and it's hard 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:23.560 for me to just get past it and like watch 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:24.760 the scene and appreciate that. 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.680 So I take that to heart. Thank you. Yeah, it was. 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:28.000 It was. 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.640 It was fun to shoot all that stuff, but really 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:34.320 fun to watch James for me, in particular because he's 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.800 where he's grown, how he grew on the show as 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.440 an actor, as a human and as a character. Watching 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.560 all that play out, he was sort of the secret 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.719 star of the episode for me, just to see to 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:52.200 see that journey, even I love that they showed the 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.680 super vulnerable moment that he had with her in her bedroom, 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.320 coming in after the game and just saying like, I 0:05:58.360 --> 0:05:59.919 need you, I just need a hug, I need to 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:05.159 be I need your comfort. It was so rich for 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.560 a high school for a high schooler to do that 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.960 high school boy, and for a young couple to understand 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.120 each other on that level. It was just really such 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:15.880 a nice reminder of where they've come from. 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:21.960 Yeah, and it's especially nice to see that growth, and 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.880 I like that it's as impactful for us who essentially, 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.360 like the viewers, have seen all of it, and Rob, 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.240 you're like a newer viewer in a way, you know, 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.479 you got to see things you didn't know. And when 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:37.080 you think about it in the story arc, in terms 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.359 of all of us really thinking that when we wrapped 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.520 season eight, we would be wrapping the show. Yeah, it's 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:46.360 such a great device to remind you of how far 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:51.320 these characters have come. I think particularly the flashback devices 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:57.080 with Nathan, because James was actually so young. Not only 0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.120 has his character come so far, but James just as 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:04.479 a man looks so different in season eight than he 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.799 did in season one, and so in a really interesting way, 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.840 like the evolution of his character, but also him growing 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:17.440 out of that teenage boy youth really marks time for 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.240 us as viewers in the flashback in a way like, look, 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.080 I thought all the rest of ours were great. I 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.640 love being reminded of the moment with Haley and Quinn. 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:29.200 I love going back to naming you Brook, like all 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.000 of it is so sweet to see. 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:31.680 But I. 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.600 Think it becomes doubly effective as a device in a 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.400 way just because of where we found ourselves in the 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:43.480 trajectory of James's life. Yea, it's really cool. And to 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.800 see him then be this very still father figure who's 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.680 not doing a lot, who's just reflecting and sort of 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:56.080 explaining that to a child. It's really special and it 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.640 does give you that sort of I don't know, it 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.040 has like nostalgia that made me feel ready for the end, 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.400 even though we wound up getting this bonus of our 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:06.200 ninth season. 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:07.520 Well, it connects. 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:11.320 It connects the audience by reminding them of everything they've 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.680 been through with the characters without them having to think 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:15.160 too hard about it. 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:15.960 Just it. 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:19.000 It creates the same moment as looking through a scrap 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.920 book and seeing, you know, here's of old friends and 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.600 it doesn't take a lot. You don't have to live through, 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.720 relive through all of the moments that you had. You 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:28.880 just need these snapshot moments and then you look up 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:30.880 at the person in front of you, seeing how they've 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.720 aged and grown, and it immediately endears you and you 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:36.720 feel the sense of loyalty. Like I think it was 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.320 so smart because it created such a bonding experience for 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.160 the audience subconsciously, I think. 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.920 And it was so funny to that point that we're 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.920 seeing all of these flashbacks where it's like baby Brook, 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:51.360 baby Hailey, baby Nathan, and then we have a flashback 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:55.000 with Haley and Quinn and it's like Quinn from six 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:55.720 months ago. 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.520 And yet there was still a hair parade like every 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.800 all the different colors, all the different cuts, all the 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.240 different everything, like the fact that Quinn was a brunette 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.040 when she started on the show, and yeah, it was 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.480 only you know, six months prior or whatever, a year 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.760 or so, and how much that's changed. It still kept 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:14.920 the uh, it kept the nostalgia going. 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:15.920 Yeah. 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.320 But yeah, the James of it all was was awesome 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:22.079 because you really do see how much he grew as 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:27.640 an individual, and alongside the character of Nathan. Yeah, that 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.640 was great, And like I said, it was fun for 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:31.560 me because it was all stuff I had never seen, 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:36.480 so it was like, wait, that's how Haley and Brook met. 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:40.640 Wait what It made me very interested to, like, I 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.760 gotta I gotta go back and see where this all started. 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.560 Yeah, it's so sweet. 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:49.000 I love seeing so much of this through Jamie's eyes too, 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:53.960 and just the that was a nice kind of mirror 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.240 effect that you are watching all these old memories, but 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.199 you're also seeing everything through the new, young perspective of 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:06.400 coming into the world. All of his narration was really 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:07.520 sweet and funny. 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.520 Yeah, and it was sweet that they The episode was 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:16.840 bookended by Haley than giving the same voiceover about you know, 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.360 babies are God's way of saying He's not given up 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.079 on us yet, or something to that effect. Yeah. Sweet, 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.680 nice sentiment. And I love that we got to see 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:31.720 the myth of the nursery room window viewing window as 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:36.720 well as I mean, are the eighteen hundreds with the 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.679 delivery room that has stadium seating above it with a window. 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:46.719 It's so weird. It's the same by the way, it's 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.200 the same window when Peyton drops after the Peyton and 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.760 Lucas wedding, and then all of us appear like ghosts 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.679 out of mist. There's just more and more of us 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.720 up in that viewing room, and it's. 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:00.720 Like this operating window. 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.240 It is simply not allowed. It is not allowed for 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:07.319 civilians to be in there. There might be an operating 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.199 theater at a teaching hospital. But let me tell you something. 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:12.640 When my very best friend on Earth had to have 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.400 emergency knee surgery, and I tried to convince the surgeons 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.360 at and Yu Hospital to let me scrub in and observe, 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.400 and they said, ma'am, go sit down, And I said, 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.600 then let me sit in an operating theater. There has 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.480 to be there has to be an operating room with 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.480 a theater here. This is a teaching hospital. They were like, ma'am, 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.840 get out, just get out, like we will. We are 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.160 going to removee. Neil woke up from surgery and was like, 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:36.040 you crazy bitch, because I was sleeping in a chair 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.440 next to her bed, and the nurse was like, we 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.320 tried to make her leave. We just eventually we gave up. 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:45.680 And I am telling you from personal experience, I know 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.679 that there is no human they are going to let 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:52.880 observe a surgery, a delivery, no matter what medical terminology 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:54.600 you know from at one point or and they're playing 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.120 a doctor, they don't care, and a surgery. 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:03.719 Would be the most life A delivery. Yeah, are you 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:05.240 sing kidding me? 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:06.440 No? 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.440 Hap to the oh in a room that's covered in tile. 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.880 By the way, when have you ever given birth in 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:14.480 a room that's covered in time? 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.840 By the way, it looks like we're at the morgue. 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.240 It looks like ten years ago we built a step 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.480 for a morgue and they were like, we don't just 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:25.280 be cheaper to reuse that. It's so creepy. 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.880 Also so weird that the guy comes in, the dad 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:29.960 comes in, He's like, oh, I'm the baby's father, and 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:31.680 never goes who are you guys? 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.560 Yeah. Also the fact that that means that literally just 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.080 anyone could just happen to stroll in and watch someone 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:39.640 give birth. 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.200 Yes, because by the way, Chloe is supposed to not 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:48.160 know he's there because she thinks she's been abandoned. The 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.520 whole thing is that he doesn't alone she's having a baby. 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.640 She took a year abroad. I think she said. 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.040 I was like, so she told her parents. I think, yeah, that's. 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.600 Oh, that's right. So she has this whole concocted story 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.720 keeping this a secret, and then he shows up unbeknownst 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.360 to her. But it hangs out with Julian all night, 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.480 Like what I mean, hats off to that actor and 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:16.120 hats off to Austin because they made it work. You know, 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.880 they took this insane scenario off the page and they 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.920 made it really heartfelt. And I thought that that young 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:27.280 man did such a good job playing so lost and 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:31.160 so unsure of what he was doing and so overwhelmed. 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:33.920 And I liked getting to see in the same way 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.160 that you see Brooke be maternal with Chloe, helping her 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.920 through this. I liked getting to see Julian do that, 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.440 even for this person that he thought was a stranger 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.360 in the hallway. It's a very sweet moment for them, 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:50.000 and it made the surprise quite a reveal. But my god, 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.679 it is so hard for me to get past the 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:57.160 shenanigans of the theater and enjoy the episode because I'm like, 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.920 this is so silly. Kind of takes me out. 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:01.760 That little bit that was a rough one. 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.240 I actually wonder for our friends at home. I really 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.600 am curious. I wish we could take callers on this show, 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.959 because I'd love to know if it just drives us 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:15.040 crazy as actors who are very used to you know, sets, 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.720 and what feels like jumping the shark or is the 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.080 audience also like, no, this is absolutely ridiculous. We feel 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.240 the same way. So if anyone wants to write in, 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:24.040 I would love. 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.040 To know comment on this gang because you don't have 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:31.160 to be in entertainment to go. That doesn't exist in hospitals, right, 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.880 Like it's not inside baseball. That's just anyone who's ever 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:37.120 been in a hospitals like what? Also, no other show 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.960 is even doing that because again, it doesn't exist, not real. 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.600 It's the strangest thing. But speaking of really good performances, 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:49.440 and just to jump ahead, a bit Levin has this 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:53.040 incredible moment when Brooke and Julian walk into the room 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.480 and the baby is born. There is the moment where 0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:01.000 you can tell everything has changed for her. She wordlessly, 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.680 just with her eyes. You can see her say like 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:09.280 I'm sorry, no it's not yet, everything's changed. 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.080 And you see it in your eyes, Sophia, like the 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.080 shift that you receive. 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.840 That Yes, it was such a powerful moment. The storytelling 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.760 happening between Chloe and Brooke was, and then. 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.800 Julian realizing it too and turning to Brooke. I mean 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:27.400 that moment I was. I actually I don't cry a 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:29.680 lot watching our show because I just feel kind of 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.000 removed from it, and but it's also so familiar that 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.600 I know a lot of it already, and I cried. 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.760 I just sat there and was like, my heart broke. 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.480 That was rough. Yeah, it's heavy, and. 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:45.080 You guys performances were so beautiful. Yeah, that's what made 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.280 me so happy about Austin as a director that he. 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:49.200 Was like, who directed this? 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:53.280 Who allowed the actors to sit there and do their 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:57.600 work quietly? God bless whoever allowed the actors to do this, 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.360 because it's not common on our show. 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:05.760 And then it was just so sad and painful, and 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:07.840 it was such a great shot where it was like 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.040 it was sort of over everyone waiting for the news 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:15.960 about Haley to in the background Brooke and Julian who 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.600 were obviously super upset, and then you guys having to 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.600 pull it together and then walk over with the secret 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.360 which is like you are crying because your heart is broken, 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:25.320 not because of this. 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:30.880 Oh oh you did that so well, Sophie. Oh my god, speaking. 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:40.520 Yeah, it's so devastating. And it's really interesting because I 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.680 remember how impactful it felt for all of us at 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:49.440 the time, you know, particularly just existing in a world 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.640 where you read about people's stories. You know what people 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.760 go through, you know, trying to build their families and 0:16:56.480 --> 0:17:03.040 all of these things. And it's crazy how how well 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:07.840 I think it played. And I remember it feeling special 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:12.000 then and now, like just by a nature of living longer, 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.239 you know, by nature of all of us being in 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.160 this phase of our lives. It's like it's even heavier 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:23.320 to me. And it's just there's there's elements of it that, 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:28.080 you know, the overarching story that I think we probably 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.280 could have done a bit better with. You know, some 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:34.240 of it feels a little talking point y, But my god, 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.200 I was like, whoof this hits me even harder now, 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.160 just all the things we've seen. 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:44.679 I'm just so glad it wasn't It wasn't talked to death. 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.280 There wasn't a page of explanation. It wasn't me too, Like, 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:52.639 it just wasn't overdone. The simplicity of a broken heart 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.879 doesn't require a ton of explanation. I everybody knows what 0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:00.120 that feels like. And you just need to see the 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:01.760 exchange between the artists. 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:04.359 Yeah, emotion and. 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.679 I think too, you know, to your point about the 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:10.480 way it was directed, us being allowed to be in 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:15.360 it and instead of you know, doing the fast pushing 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:18.800 or whatever, everything just crept up on you. You know, 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:22.800 the camera moved in slowly and you start to wonder 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:25.800 is it slow motion or is it what's really happening? 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:30.280 And it's just what's really happening. But everyone is having 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.199 it hit them in that way where it feels like 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:33.240 time slows down. 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.560 Yeah, but it wasn't just that moment. It was the 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:40.080 whole episode, like the whole storyline. I should say, in particular, 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:44.640 because Austin was great about giving the appropriate tone per 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:48.600 scene depending on the storyline. But for you guys, when 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:53.080 Levin is in the bed and she keeps saying I 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:55.160 just couldn't do it alone. I couldn't do it alone, 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.280 he lingers on you just a little too long, and 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.239 it gives the audience the information they need, Like that 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:04.680 is kind of an interesting thing to say, is that 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.560 the only reason you're going to give up your child 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.080 because you're afraid you can't handle it on your own. 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:12.160 And then you start wondering is that. 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:15.760 It is Brooke going to say, hey, if that's the 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.960 only reason, like you are strong, you are that. I 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:23.719 don't know if that's really the reason that you should, like, 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:25.639 if there's a whole lifestyle, if you know, there's so 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:27.760 many factors, But if it's just that you're afraid you 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:31.159 can't handle it, it just puts Brooke in such an 0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:33.600 awkward position. And I feel like I could read all 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.280 of it on your mind in that moment. And then 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:38.080 we cut away to something else, but it was it 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.000 was a foreshadowing that there's something else coming. 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:43.119 No heartbreaking. 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:46.520 I love in the There was an earlier scene with 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:49.960 Nathan Haley. It's when when you're going Haley's going through 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:54.760 contractions and and you're like, just just tell me a story, 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:59.080 and he's like, I'm I'm blanking and she's like, just 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:01.280 You're like, just tell me any story in the history 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:01.920 of the world. 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:06.400 He's like about three little pigs. I don't know why. 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:10.440 Yeah, it was so good man. And then the other 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:17.159 funny contraction moment that made me laugh was and and listen, 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.840 there's a there's a there's a lot of ways in 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.080 which this could just could happen. But in the moment, 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:24.960 I went, ok, this was written by a dude. When 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:27.760 Levin is on the bed and Brooke is there and 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:31.199 she's like, she goes she's obviously having a contraction, but 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:37.680 she goes, ooh contraction, And I was like, you know what, 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:40.760 I uh, could you imagine like in a war movie 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.160 if someone gets shot and they fell down the battlefield 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:44.639 and they were like, oh, good shot. 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:49.640 Like never, It's like. 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:52.640 You know again, I'm like, it doesn't take me out 0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:55.440 of the scene. But I laughed, going like I've been 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:58.240 two deliveries with my wife and I never once heard 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:04.199 her go ooh contraction. It's like everyone knows why every yeah. 0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:07.760 Yeah, well, And isn't it ironic that we were allowed 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:12.159 to allow so much We were allowed to have so 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:15.920
