Hi Rob, Hi, Hello, I've had 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:43.240 to attend to abe small toddler emergency. But guess what 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:44.920 put the fire out? 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:45.600 For sure did? 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.279 Let's get into a great episode. I loved this sweet 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:51.400 opener with young Brook. 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:53.840 I forgot about it, you guys. 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.960 It's so good, like it's like a film. 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.320 It is, and it's such a crazy thing because as 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.080 soon as it starts, I was like, oh my god, 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.080 hiding on the porch because the parents are fighting. Oh 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.200 my god, oh in the veil. And it's like it 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.800 made me remember this whole chunk of the story that 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.160 for some reason, I had just forgotten about until watching 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:14.560 the episode jogged my memory. 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.040 I loved that device in the like classic car and 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.280 the bride and the groom by themselves. It's so romantic 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.440 and it's like, oh, like what a great core memory 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:25.160 like that's. 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.280 It was beautiful, beautifully done. 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:32.679 Have we ever met Brook's dad, not, did we ever 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:33.240 put a face? 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:37.520 Not to this point. Eventually you do, but at this 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.120 point he's still sort of this mystery person. 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.720 Oh when do we meet your dads? 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.360 We meet him in season nine or is it later 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:47.640 in this season? I don't know. 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.840 I don't remember that. My timeline's worried with that. 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:56.080 Yeah, but it was a cool device because not only 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.280 do you see how the sort of fairy tale of 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:02.840 the wedding and the thing is so instrumental, you know, 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.239 in society and for little girls, but you see why 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:13.560 this idea means so much to Brook, because it's it's 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:17.200 sort of paralleled, like she's having one experience on one 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.000 side of the door while listening to her parents screaming 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.920 on the other, and it's I don't know, you get 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.520 that this little girl wanted the fairy tale. She wanted 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.480 to be rescued. She wanted a happy ending, not the 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:35.080 ending that she grew up in her house watching. And 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.760 it was cool to I think, to. 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.320 See that in the programming you get from your parents. 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.360 Yeah, which is what comes up later when you say 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:47.560 to Victoria and you remember what you told me. No, 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:52.640 it's like, what an interesting genesis moment or not. You know, 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:57.200 what's the word the inception? Yeah, like to see that 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.960 seed sprout in you at a young age and like, yeah, 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.440 beauty of this versus my reality with my example. 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.280 Yeah, it's really good. And then I love that it 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.600 in the same way that we're having this experience with 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:16.360 Brooke as a child, we have the juxtaposition, and then 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.400 the humor is that Julian as a grown man, is 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.920 waking up in a house being like what is happening? 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:27.440 Because he's essentially a kid, you know, he's a guest 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.520 in Jamie's house and Jamie's bunny is on his chest, 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.080 and he's just like, what is this? And it's a 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.480 really funny way to flip it and stay on themes. 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:42.520 I didn't realize you were at their house. I just 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.120 thought maybe Jamie, because of course you can't see Brooke 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:49.080 that day. I will say this, there are very few 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.839 people in this world who can pull off the under 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.520 the chin's camera ang. I was thinking the same thing, 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.599 Austin Nichols. You are one of the few people who 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:02.880 can look handsome having a camera pointed directly under their. 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:04.880 I appreciate that, but even I was like, what the heck? 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:05.480 Are they doing? 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.000 And then also I noticed in this episode I had 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.400 like there was facial hair, but the line was weird. 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.120 And then like, no, at a bad angle at the 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.279 beard looks like it's up on your face, or like 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:17.320 there's a line high. 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:19.200 That's so funny. 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:23.160 You had obviously just gotten a haircut prior to shooting 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.919 the wedding scenes, because it didn't look like its usual self. 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:27.640 It was a bit short. 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:28.880 Well you shaved. 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:30.000 Well, here's the thing. 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:35.040 The shaving thing was my idea and I probably shouldn't 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:35.520 have done it. 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.679 It was actually cut. It came from the right place. 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:42.359 It was like I'm getting married, and you know, I 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.599 think I pitched it, and I said, you know, I 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.640 think it's like a respect thing to the parents and 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.440 for photographs and for blah blah blah. Like a lot 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.880 of older people think that facial hair is still you 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:58.039 know a little it's associated with negative things. And so 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.159 it came from that place. It was like for the 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.520 old people, for our parents, for photos, blah blah blah. 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.839 But it ended up just looking weird to me because 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.840 he's never shaved once for the show. And then you know, 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:12.760 I hate to get into any stuff, but my hair 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:14.880 was weird. At the time, I was like, what was 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:15.640 going on? 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.440 But here's why I think it worked, Because I like 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:25.719 you when like when you are walking up to skills 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.320 in Chase in the outside the church. Yeah, it's weird 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.560 because I didn't even realize the fact you were clean shaven, 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.760 but your hair is like a little too short, so 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.000 it looks odd And I thought, but you know why 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:40.599 that works is because I buy that Julian is excited 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.280 about his wedding day and he wants to like look 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.280 his best, So I buy that he got a haircut 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.880 like not a week before, but like a day before 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.480 his wedding. Yeah, and they maybe just went a little 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:52.000 bit too short. 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:53.120 Good that makes you. 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:57.200 Feel Yeah, no, I I did. I totally know what 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.560 you mean, because it's weird to look at yourself and 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:04.080 not feel like you look like yourself. But it did. 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.680 It gave you this kind of sheen of earnestness, and 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:09.960 it did make you look a little bit like a 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.920 little boy. And I mean that in the sweetest way. 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.480 Like watching you stand up there, and you know, watching 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.600 Julian looking at Paul and Sylvia and when they're fighting 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:25.960 over him. It plays into the dynamic of the children 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:30.160 we were and the adults we've grown into, and I 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.440 don't know, I think it worked now. 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:33.200 I'm glad to hear that. 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.760 I also I skew dark quickly and can be I 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:38.480 play a lot of scoundrels, like I play a lot 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:42.000 of sort of like fun bad guys. So I think 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.400 sometimes I when I'm playing something like Julian or Julian 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.920 in the wedding scene, I'm conscious of that. 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:48.880 And wanting to. 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.280 Tamp down some of if there's any darkness, and try 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:54.960 to make him more. 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:56.000 Yeah. 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.119 I don't know what the word is safe. 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.640 I skew scoundrel is my favorite sentence of the week. 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.040 I love that so much. You know what else I liked? 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:09.880 I liked the beat of Julian, Nathan and Jamie at 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:15.320 the river court, and especially because you walk up and 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:17.640 to your point, you've been such a good sport about 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:22.360 Julian's quirks and the weird physical comedy, and then for 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.360 Nathan to toss you a ball and be like, you 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:25.880 gotta take a shot if you're on the court and 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.000 you just sink a three and walk away, I. 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:29.560 Was like, we love to see me. 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:32.320 I actually, in reference to what we were talking about 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.400 earlier with some of the nerdy stuff with the high 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:39.280 five or flowers or butterflies, that moment may be landed 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.959 so well because of the earlier stuff. 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.679 Yeah, it's the shot and he goes in close up 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:46.120 like maybe it's my lucky day. 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.680 And I was like, Oh, it's such a great moment. 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:51.880 It's so sweet. 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.720 It was the it was the payoff of when the 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:58.520 good guy finally gets the girl, like getting to see 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.120 Julian just swish a three on the first track. Because 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.679 as soon as they Nathan passed you the ball, I 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.679 was like, come on, no, don't let this be another 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.160 thing where like he air balls on his wedding day 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:09.760 and gets dark. 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:11.080 I thought I was going to miss it, and I 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.160 even shot the scene, and I'm watching the show thinking 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:14.600 I'm gonna miss and there's gonna be a joke. 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:20.320 Yeah no, but it was so good and for you 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.920 to be in that moment, you're so earnest, you're clearly 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:29.720 so happy, and it's this very sweet It's just such 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.640 a sweet scene with these three dudes. And then I 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:37.800 love that the humor continues to run because Nathan tells 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.120 Jamie he's got to give a speech and you realize 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:44.080 Haley hasn't told him because they're competing, and it is 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.920 just the funniest gag to then see Jamie show up 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:49.840 with the letter you give him to give to me 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.840 and she's like, oh, your dad told you about the speech, Diddy. 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:58.120 The competitive n's great a mom and in someone that 0:09:58.200 --> 0:09:59.840 younger son that's that young is hilarious. 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:04.120 It's really really funny, and it's unexpected because we're used 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.800 to the Dan Scott Nathan Scott dynamic of like the 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.880 dad really pushing the kid, and then here you have 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.960 like tutor girl ribbing her kid over a speech and 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.079 being like, what are you going to write about? Are 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:19.720 you going to quote literature? Like it's just really really funny. 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:27.240 I loved you committing to the silly Molly Ringwold dance, 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.440 sof you get a gold star for that. You leaned 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:30.240 into it, thank you. 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.480 It was it's a long runner, but that was the 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.760 thing I remember when we did it, you know, the 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:41.280 Senior and I did Austin in season six and they 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.800 literally brought the movie in. I mean, granted, I've seen 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.280 The Breakfast Club ten thousand times, it's one of my favorites, 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.480 but they were like we want you to do a 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:54.560 version of this eighties dance and do it badly. And 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.720 I was like, oh, man, I guess we're just doing this. 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.160 And then, you know, three years later, call it. 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:03.320 Right back great. 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.400 And I got to admit when I watched it today, 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.040 you know, she opens the CD and she pulls it 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.640 out and then she does the dance, and it made 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:16.120 me emotional. I was like, there's something cool about There's 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:17.160 something really good. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.600 In that writing. And that's this is what's amazing about television, 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:20.520 is it. 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.599 You know, a couple of years later, a couple of 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:27.040 seasons later, you bring out a moment of where some 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:28.880 you know, two people fell for each other. 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.760 Is often this way. It's just really really satisfying. 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.720 Yeah. Well, and I think that's one of the reasons 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.400 we love making TV, right, Like, don't get me wrong, 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.360 I love to go make a movie. I love the 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:45.080 summer camp experience of it. I love you know that 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.199 it takes forever to get a movie greenlit and then 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.880 suddenly you go do it and in three weeks or 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:56.280 six weeks it's over. But man, the long payoff in 0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:01.000 TV when we get to develop these characters. Yeah, three 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:05.520 years later, called back to something and it hits for everybody, 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:09.000 even the actors who did it. That's really I think 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:10.600 that's one of the coolest parts of our job. 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:15.439 One long long form like there's nothing like it. 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:30.960 Yeah, speaking of nothing like it, I'm gonna go ahead 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.480 and just give you my honorable mention right now. Antwantana, 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:40.160 But he came back just red hot. He was so 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:42.760 damn funny in this episode. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:46.520 Man, that commitment, the idea of someone committing so hard 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:47.400 to this security. 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.360 I mean, it's just I was cracking up. I loved 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.360 it so much. Way to go, Angeline. 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.920 And him being so committed to it, you know, basically 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.800 saying we're not ushers, we're security. He does. He does 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.280 it all heightened, and he is able to make fun 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.920 of some of the absurdity of a nine year long drama, 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:10.439 being like no psychos, no stalkers, no kidnappings, no nannies, 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.760 Like he pokes fun at us, so everyone's in on 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.640 the joke. And then what I didn't see coming I 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.960 also didn't remember this is that the slutty wedding sex 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.280 runner turns out to be happening in the limo and 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.760 he's like, I also decorated the truck just in case, 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:27.720 just in case it got just in case, the limo 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.719 got stolen and got driven off a bridge, Go take 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.560 you the other car, and then you and I have 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:38.080 the exact callback to the couple in the classic car 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.400 driving down the street in front of a little brook 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:44.199 And it's like, man, they just really tied all these 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:48.840 things together, where like the funniest jokes led to the 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.360 sweetest moments over and over and over again, and I 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.800 didn't see some of them coming. And just like, hats 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:58.439 off to Johnny Norris. He wrote such a good script and. 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:02.040 It's so nice to that they like there was redemption 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.640 for skills behavior. It wasn't just like, yeah, he's being 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.080 silly and over the top. It's like, no, he actually 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.440 kind of saved the day at the end and then 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.520 to your point, so if it also allowed for the 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:18.160 similarity to young Brooks, you know experience at the top 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.160 of the episode, and he was just funny. It was 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:26.240 also great to see he and Lee and Steven together 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:30.040 are a really good trio. Yeah, all all of their 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.240 stuff was just so fun. Man, Like I love that 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:34.720 there's a cooler full of milk. 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:36.800 Yeah. 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.960 Yeah, the court jesters and Shakespeare, you know, there's this 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.640 like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern or you know, these guys on. 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:47.160 The side just crack just cracking me up throughout. It's 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:48.520 really really well done. 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.640 It was nice to see, Uh, is this the first 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:56.000 time we've seen Alex and Quinn like their friendship? Because 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:56.800 it was great. 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:00.120 I love their budding friendship. It started last week in 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:06.560 the bachelorette party, and it's so nice, especially to get 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:12.400 to see Alex have a dynamic with another woman, because 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.280 it's not flirtation, it's not all of the sort of 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:20.200 obvious hot girl doing sexy whatever with the guys. You 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:23.640 get to see this sort of really human side of 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:27.120 her and hear what she's going through, and I just 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:32.680 think it's so refreshing. And Janna is so she's so 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:37.600 emotionally tender about all this stuff, and it's really nice 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:38.680 to see the two of them. 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.840 Yeah, it was great. I've said this before, but I 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:46.320 don't think Alex would have been nearly as successful in 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.720 the hands of a different actor, because if you can't 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:56.240 land that vulnerable sincerity, I just it doesn't it doesn't 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.120 give you the same luxury of going so big with 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:03.920 everything else, Like it's those moments that kind of ground everything, like. 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:04.920 Her early days. 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.640 She's so easy to hate a character like that, and 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:12.280 then suddenly she'll be so raw and vulnerable and you 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.800 just immediately go, oh, oh my god, this is a 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:15.760 human being who has. 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:16.560 Stuff going on. 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:22.120 Yeah, and she's able to really seesaw in those moments, 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.720 like when Quinn asks her if she can keep a 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:28.160 secret and Alex goes on a tangent about this one 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.600 time she told her friend Kimmy she'd keep a secret 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:32.400 and then forgot and then told four people and one 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:37.360 of them was Kimmy. Like, it is so silly and funny, 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:41.160 and it's such a nice way to break up a 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:45.440 moment that Quinn is having with something really heavy and dark. 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.120 And I think it's part of why I'm having such 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.640 a good time as a viewer watching them together, because 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.800 in a way, it's like, you know, we talked about 0:16:55.800 --> 0:17:00.200 how Quinn was brought in to be, you know, to 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:04.200 fill the kind of Lucas void like this very you know, emotional, 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:10.160 artistic person, and getting to see her also be silly 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.399 is really fun and it gives me like early Lucas 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:17.800 and Haley dynamics almost watching Quinn and Alex now and 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:18.400 I love it. 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:21.680 Also, it's funny because the last time I was on 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.880 you guys, we were watching a bunch of beautifulomen fight 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:28.400 in a swimming pool. Yeah, and they were having here 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:32.040 and it's nice to see two women like take care 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.800 of each other and you know, yeah. 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.600 Yeah, because we caught glimpses of this side of Alex 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.560 in scenes with Julian. But then the problem was it 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.040 would always just have a tendency to revert back to 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.879 some sort of like sexual nature, you know. And with 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:50.840 Millie there was opportunities for vulner ear. There was moments 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.159 of vulnerability, but then it would go back to that 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.880 like what's up, bitch, hey, bitch, like it would kind 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.880 of go back to the surface. With Quinn, though there 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:02.000 is neither of those. Yeah, So it's just nice. And 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:04.200 I like that she was self aware enough to go 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:06.359 because listen, when someone wants to tell a secret, I 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:09.520 think the general instinct is to be like, yeah, tell me. 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:12.600 I love that she was self aware and honest enough 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:15.359 to go, I'm actually the last person you should tell. 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:19.120 Here's why that was so endearing. 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:23.000 Man's so cute and funny. And then what I love 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:27.480 is because they're having this really endearing budding friendship. When 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.760 Millie turns out to already be tipsy from the good 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.840 blue drink from the new bartender, and she sits down 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:36.639 and says, well, maybe Chase and me are going to 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.240 have the slutty wedding sex and looks at them, and 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:42.520 you know, Chantelle looks at Lisa like, what are you doing? 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.879 And Jannel looks so shocked, and Lisa goes, did I 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:46.680 say that out loud? 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.679 It's just like, you don't. I don't know. 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:54.600 It's like everybody's not doing the thing you're expecting their 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:59.879 character to do, and it's just hilarious and exactly the 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.960 you chose endearing, And I'm having so much fun watching 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:07.280 everybody in the dynamic. Can I say one thing though, 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:10.200 that I actually thought was ridiculous? And I get why, 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:15.840 but it's impossible, I know, to have one hundred people 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.960 dancing at a wedding and have any kind of continuity 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:23.400 when you're filming these scenes. But the fact that nobody 0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:27.359 dances at the wedding except me and you and then 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.120 us and the parents drives me nuts. 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.399 Yeah, where's the party? Where's the dance party? 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:33.840 Where is the rager? 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:36.600 Like Brooke and Julian are gonna throw a rager and 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:38.800 you never see it because it would have been a 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:43.000 continuity nightmare. But it's like a thing that sticks out 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:44.159 to me like a sore thumb. 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:48.200 Okay, the one, yes, I agree with that, I have 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:50.320 one I bumped on as well. Okay, And it was 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:55.640 towards the end of the reception. It's a room full 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.119 of giant banquet tables as you do at a wedding, 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:02.520 and then there's one rain them four top that Alex 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:05.359 is sitting out by herself like it's the reject table 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:08.159 to then, of course, give a space for Quinn to 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:09.440 come and have a heart to heart with her. But 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:11.359 I'm like, get the hell out of here. There has 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:14.200 never been a fore top at a web reception. 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:17.879 No, that is so funny that that was in a 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.800 production meeting, Like how can we visually just make her 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:22.480 look so sad and alone? 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:23.400 Yes? 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:25.640 Reality and yeah. 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.240 Yeah, like we can't trust the actor to convey she's 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:31.720 lonely and sad, so let's put her at a small 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:34.200 table by herself. Well, I want to address the dance 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:37.919 part thing, because that's that's my one one of my 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:43.439 issues with television sometimes is time and money and and 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:48.159 just getting getting the script right like when when you can. 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:51.400 It's easier in a movie, but there are shows. 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:54.439 That where there is a little bit more freedom, Like 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:57.159 say it, Greg Prange was like, we're just going to 0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:00.119 shoot some dancing, Like we might cut together Am and 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:01.600 TAJ and throw a song on it and it would 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.000 be so awesome. But in TV that's really hard to 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:06.520
