Speaker 1: so much of Gilmore Girls, And I'm thrilled to have here.
Speaker 1: We're going to dive into this, but before we get started,
Speaker 1: you were on the Pit, the hottest show right now.
Speaker 1: So how was that? How was it different from Gilmore Girls?
Speaker 2: That that was a great show. The working with John
Speaker 2: Wall's production and Noah Wiley and the wonderful actors on set.
Speaker 2: They had a great crew. It was a little crazy.
Speaker 2: I played a gentleman that was having a heart attack
Speaker 2: and they were moving crazy fast to save my life.
Speaker 2: But that was a wonderful experience and the crew was welcoming.
Speaker 2: The actors are great, fantastic.
Speaker 1: Now let's discuss the episode Romeo and Juliet. Here's the synopsis.
Speaker 1: Dean gets jealous when Rory and Tristan are cast as
Speaker 1: Romeo and Juliet in the school play, which is fifty
Speaker 1: percent of the overall grade, and Luke Teas's Laura Ali
Speaker 1: for dating a younger man. Director Danny Leaner writer John Stevens.
Speaker 1: Paris is directing who else would be directing? She's in charge,
Speaker 1: and Rory's kisses Juliet and Tristan is Romeo. She feels
Speaker 1: Rory does inclined to tell Dean about her kiss with
Speaker 1: Tristan at that party in season one because Paris is
Speaker 1: making them do rehearsals in Stars Hollow at Miss Patty's
Speaker 1: when Dean insists on watching Rory's rehearsals. She asked Tristan
Speaker 1: to keep their kiss a secret. But during the rehearsal,
Speaker 1: what does Tristan do? He does Tristan things. He reveals
Speaker 1: that they had a kiss before, and that's right in
Speaker 1: front of Dean, who insisted on being there. Later, we
Speaker 1: find out that Tristan's dad has pulled him out of
Speaker 1: school for bad more bad behavior, you know, fulonious behavior,
Speaker 1: breaking into people's safes and taking money out. You know,
Speaker 1: any other kid would have gone to jail and been prosecuted.
Speaker 1: But so Tristan goes to a private military school in
Speaker 1: North Carolina, and then Para steps up to inhabit the
Speaker 1: role so fully as Romeo. In the final performance, Robert
Speaker 1: is Dean being overprotective? Was he justified?
Speaker 2: Well? I mean I have to say that Dean was
Speaker 2: pretty annoying in this episode. He was being extremely needy
Speaker 2: and insecure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but don't you think Tristan was even being more annoying? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yes, he absolutely was. He was egging danon every step
Speaker 2: of the way, and it just wouldn't. I mean, the
Speaker 2: episode itself is so well. I mean, the dialogue that
Speaker 2: we had in the diner with you you just slinging
Speaker 2: those mad You had great lines.
Speaker 1: Good stuff, good stuff, good stuff. So they're teenagers, how
Speaker 1: was Dean supposed to act? I thought he acted pretty
Speaker 1: grown up for a teenager.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he wasn't too bad. He wasn't too bad. It
Speaker 2: just it just some of the things. The pushing.
Speaker 1: I mean, men do that, right, they do that. That's
Speaker 1: the same scene that has been played out time and
Speaker 1: again for thirty plus forty plus men. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I should be there. Yeah, I think I'm crazy. Right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: someone's always getting in between Dean and Rory.
Speaker 2: Right, Yes, it's always trying to get in there.
Speaker 1: So, but do you think he went too far? Do
Speaker 1: you think Dean went too far?
Speaker 2: I think it's kind of normal for his situation in
Speaker 2: a small town. You know, you know people you're you're
Speaker 2: afraid the the implication of you know, he's rich and
Speaker 2: you know from the school, and you know, it's it's
Speaker 2: just that normal teenage anks.
Speaker 1: You think it's more that he doesn't it's not that
Speaker 1: he doesn't trust her, it's that maybe he really doesn't
Speaker 1: trust Tristan, Like that guy is manipulative, diabolical, and you
Speaker 1: know he's up to you, right, he keeps showing it
Speaker 1: at every word out of his mouth, right exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that encountered that they had at Dozes
Speaker 2: market place. You know, he was just every little needle
Speaker 2: nigging on.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think if anybody ever deserved a sock in
Speaker 1: the jaw is that character Jesus. Let me ask you this.
Speaker 1: If Dean was a little more chill right or stand
Speaker 1: offish with Rory, I wonder if she would have stayed
Speaker 1: with him. What do you think you think she there's
Speaker 1: a part of her that liked him being a little overprotective.
Speaker 1: Did that make her feel safe or did that make
Speaker 1: her did that turn her off a little bit?
Speaker 2: I think the drama, the this situation was very overwhelming
Speaker 2: for her and that was not the experience she was looking.
Speaker 1: For, right right, Obviously we know that Tristan has feelings
Speaker 1: for Rory, right it was a very sweet goodbye after
Speaker 1: he's carted off to military school. I for want am
Speaker 1: not sad to see Tristan leave the show. I think
Speaker 1: this is the last time we have to deal with us.
Speaker 1: What would you have liked to see it happen between
Speaker 1: Tristan and Rory.
Speaker 2: Well, Tristan just wouldn't learn. Would I would have liked
Speaker 2: to see an actual you know, his character was a
Speaker 2: good character, and if we could see him grow from
Speaker 2: learning from his mistakes rather than just constantly repeating mistakes
Speaker 2: over and over asking for that attention. If he kind
Speaker 2: of like put two and two together, says, you know,
Speaker 2: I could be a better person. I could grow or
Speaker 2: if Amy decided to have him grow in that character,
Speaker 2: he would have been a really awesome character to continue
Speaker 2: with the work.
Speaker 1: So you think he was redeemable. There's there's some redeemable
Speaker 1: qualities here.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean he the dialogue when he said goodbye
Speaker 2: to war kind of im just going.
Speaker 1: Man, just what how do people evolve like this? Let's
Speaker 1: let's say twenty years later, these people have an epiphany
Speaker 1: at twenty five and they say, I don't want to
Speaker 1: be this person anymore. How do these people end up?
Speaker 1: What do they do? Are they redeemable? Do they turn
Speaker 1: into like the opposite of what they once were? Are
Speaker 1: Are they as obnoxious on the other side, love bombing
Speaker 1: people all the time and trying to get everybody to
Speaker 1: fall in love with them? And I'm a great guy, And.
Speaker 2: I think the energy just kind of starts coming down,
Speaker 2: and then you kind of settle down, and you kind
Speaker 2: of well that, you know, you can't put that force,
Speaker 2: that much energy into being that character all the time,
Speaker 2: and chill kind of settle down.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe maybe the reason he's like that is because
Speaker 1: he has no idea who he is, yes, right, yes, anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, well that's for the bigger minds to ponder.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about lorelized date. This was This
Speaker 1: was a very This was hysterically funny. The payoff for
Speaker 1: this was really great. She's at business school. She's asked
Speaker 1: by one of her class names made. Paul is very
Speaker 1: young looking, youngish looking. Although we don't see the date.
Speaker 1: She opens up about how she enjoyed the idea of
Speaker 1: a dating life, not necessarily thinking her and Paul are
Speaker 1: a match. But you know. Then he shows up at
Speaker 1: Luke Steider with a baseball cap, one that made him
Speaker 1: look like he was seventeen. Oh, he looked like a
Speaker 1: college guy. It was really funny with his parents and
Speaker 1: he's full of enthusiasm and oh, it's just great. This
Speaker 1: was probably the funniest scene in the show.
Speaker 2: I love the lexuses line. I always wanted a little brother.
Speaker 1: She had.
Speaker 2: Again, like I told you before, you just had some
Speaker 2: great one liners, telling Laura she'd she should have a
Speaker 2: hype bar.
Speaker 1: R right, right, right, Rory had some good one liners too.
Speaker 1: I mean she had some singers. You know, she mocks
Speaker 1: her own mother. She always had a little brother, so
Speaker 1: Luke is a little salty towards Laura. I mean he's
Speaker 1: kidding her and teasing her, but then he gets a
Speaker 1: little you know, he says, you know, the turn is
Speaker 1: it's embarrassing that she's running around with a kid. I mean, right,
Speaker 1: is Luke jealous? No?
Speaker 2: I think Luke is he is generally invested in Laurali
Speaker 2: and he thinks she can do better. I mean she
Speaker 2: is literally I think he is literally embarrassed for her
Speaker 2: because he thinks that much of her and that she
Speaker 2: can do so much better.
Speaker 1: Right, I'm going to say, you know, to answer the question,
Speaker 1: is Luke playing the right game here? I think for
Speaker 1: him to remain unbothered by it could come off as uncaring,
Speaker 1: right yeah? Oh yeah, and he cares. He cares deeply.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I think another way of him showing his feelings
Speaker 1: for her is to be a little critical and to
Speaker 1: be like, you know, to take on the friend roll,
Speaker 1: like what the hell are you doing? What are you
Speaker 1: thinking of it? I mean it's a bad look for you,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, come on, step up, I mean,
Speaker 1: without you know, pushing himself. But yeah, I don't think
Speaker 1: ice and unbothered and not engaging in it is possible
Speaker 1: for him, you.
Speaker 2: Know, I mean he wears his heart on his sleeve
Speaker 2: and he shows it all the time by showing his
Speaker 2: emotions of when he's bothered and when he's not bothered,
Speaker 2: when he's generally happy and proud of Orri, and when
Speaker 2: he's frustrated by the antics that laurel Lie sometimes does.
Speaker 1: Should he have gotten together with lorel I sooner? Is this?
Speaker 1: Is this proof that it's being dragged out too much
Speaker 1: and that the fans are getting frustrated. Like it's almost
Speaker 1: like the writing is so artful that they want the
Speaker 1: fans to give up hope, they want them to settle on. Oh,
Speaker 1: they're just going to be friends. It's never gonna happen.
Speaker 1: And then when it does happen, it's like, wow.
Speaker 2: No, it's it's it's truly a great, great slow burn.
Speaker 2: And you know Amy just writes so well and had
Speaker 2: this run out so well that yeah, I think it
Speaker 2: would have been the payoff would have been better, or
Speaker 2: had been was better by making it longer.
Speaker 1: Friendshit, there is Paul too young or you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know Laurrea Lash she date who she wants right, right?
Speaker 1: Isn't it a good idea for her to tipper tone
Speaker 1: in the dating pool again, I mean, so what, he's
Speaker 1: so he's young.
Speaker 2: So what, It's just her track record, it's just her
Speaker 2: choices in her track record has just not been sterling
Speaker 2: of late.
Speaker 1: She's in a tough spot, right. It's just such a
Speaker 1: tough to be a single mother and dating a what
Speaker 1: a minefield that is. You have to be so careful
Speaker 1: who you bring into your world. And now that you know,
Speaker 1: Rory is on her way to you know, some Ivy
Speaker 1: League institution, Let's face it, she's going somewhere. She's doing
Speaker 1: great at Chiltern, you know. Yeah, you got to take
Speaker 1: a little me time.
Speaker 2: Right exactly.
Speaker 1: And she's you know, she's thirty what, she's thirty three now,
Speaker 1: she's thirty two. At the beginning of the show, she's
Speaker 1: thirty three season two, so she's thirty three. Yeah, why not? Right?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, gotta get out and live. And I think I
Speaker 1: think Suki was right, like get out there and like,
Speaker 1: you know, anyway, is it better for Rory or Luke
Speaker 1: to make fun of this guy's age?
Speaker 2: I just well, it's just both. I mean, Rory just
Speaker 2: shows the camaraderie, the the the love and that level
Speaker 2: of kitting around with your mom and being her best friend,
Speaker 2: and then Luke just being there as as a truly
Speaker 2: good friend, going holding up a mirror and saying, what
Speaker 2: are you doing? Look at this?
Speaker 1: But you know this is very North of Eastern kidding
Speaker 1: each other, teasing each other. It's very you know, it's
Speaker 1: what It's how I grew up. This is what you do.
Speaker 1: You just bag on people you know, and it's just constantly.
Speaker 1: It's fun. Why Why do you think Luke isn't making
Speaker 1: a move just yet? What is it? What is he
Speaker 1: waiting for? Robert?
Speaker 2: I think he's a good friend. I think he's truly
Speaker 2: a good friend. And and if it comes down and
Speaker 2: he's looking for what's best for her, if someone else
Speaker 2: else turns up that he approves of that is best
Speaker 2: for her, he'll support it. But if someone like this
Speaker 2: little boy comes around and he's going to say no,
Speaker 2: this is he'll he'll he'll he'll criticize it and tell
Speaker 2: him that's not good enough. And I'm not sure he's
Speaker 2: decided that he's also putting his hat in the ring.
Speaker 2: He's truly a good friend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess he likes his routine. I think he's
Speaker 1: I think he's a little afraid of breaking up his routine.
Speaker 1: If it didn't work out, it would blow his whole
Speaker 1: world apart. If it does work out, it blows his
Speaker 1: whole world apart. Right, So he's he's I think he's
Speaker 1: hanging on with, you know, one hand plus three fingers
Speaker 1: on the other hand, and he's got a pinky and
Speaker 1: a thumb available maybe for this relationship. Boy, that didn't
Speaker 1: come out right anyway.
Speaker 2: So his I mean, his life is a little bit
Speaker 2: on the rocks because of the news of his nephew
Speaker 2: Milo coming into his life, you know, right and upsetting
Speaker 2: that card. So he's got issues.
Speaker 1: Right right, right, all right, So let's discuss Robert, if
Speaker 1: you will indulge me. I know you're busy. I know
Speaker 1: you have to be in several places at once. You're
Speaker 1: mister everywhere, mister everything. Sixth, seventh and eighth Man of
Speaker 1: the Year. Lorel I approaches Luke at the diner and
Speaker 1: she says that she doesn't have many people in her
Speaker 1: life that are permanent, and and she brings it up
Speaker 1: as an example that that could have been. Then she
Speaker 1: says she has roy Suki this town. And then last
Speaker 1: but not least you know the gipper there, Luke, and
Speaker 1: then he says that you know she has him right exactly.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Lorelay saying that she doesn't have a
Speaker 1: lot of permanent people in her life. Did that hit
Speaker 1: you emotionally? Definitely?
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, because Lorela does. She is looking for stability,
Speaker 2: and she's looking for the people that she can count on,
Speaker 2: and she doesn't. She is way too scared to screw
Speaker 2: that up. And you are one of Luke is one
Speaker 2: of those you. Luke is one of those people that
Speaker 2: have been rock steady in her life.
Speaker 1: M hm. Yes, it's nice to hear, right, It's nice
Speaker 1: to hear that absolute. Yeah, So I think it maybe
Speaker 1: gets him. I think that scene maybe gets him to
Speaker 1: the starting line again in the you know, and that
Speaker 1: the kathlon that is laurel I's heart, right, he maybe
Speaker 1: wants to step up and vuy for that trophy, right, maybe? Maybe?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What do you think of all this? Do you think
Speaker 1: one of the reasons laurel I has such issues with commitment?
Speaker 1: You think it's it she's commitment phobic.
Speaker 2: Well, she's definitely admitted that she sucks at dating, right,
Speaker 2: and that you know, when she dates a man romantically,
Speaker 2: it's gone bad for her. So she's getting a lot
Speaker 2: or a little or a lot gun shy on the
Speaker 2: whole romance title. And she doesn't want that title to
Speaker 2: be put on someone that she can count on because
Speaker 2: she always loses them.
Speaker 1: Do you feel that on a psychological level, maybe she
Speaker 1: feels she isn't worthy of that type of permanence that
Speaker 1: she liked, Like she had her shot, but now she's
Speaker 1: got bigger fish to fry with her daughter and her
Speaker 1: daughter's future and that's really the important thing, and that
Speaker 1: she's made it this far and she runs her own
Speaker 1: business and she's she's an independent woman. Does she really
Speaker 1: need a man right now? I mean that's that's really
Speaker 1: the question I think this show is posing. Do you
Speaker 1: really need a guy by yourself? Maybe nice to have
Speaker 1: one if it works out, But I mean she's perfectly capable,
Speaker 1: right I'm not arguing against the relationship, trust me. The
Speaker 1: Luke LARELEI think is wonderful. But it's like she's a
Speaker 1: very capable person. She's figured it out at sixteen years old.
Speaker 1: She had to figure it out. Imagine being sixteen and
Speaker 1: having to do that. Now she's still she's she's still young,
Speaker 1: thirty thirty three years old. Yeah, but there's nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with wanting to have a partner. Nothing wrong.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: You know, she's going to be an empty nester in
Speaker 1: a couple of years, so it's like she's going to
Speaker 1: be so young still as an empty nest or she'll
Speaker 1: be what thirty four, thirty five, thirty five years old?
Speaker 1: That's really young, kidding me, right, So it's a real dilemma,
Speaker 1: you know for single mothers.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that she's understanding that there is the
Speaker 2: next stage in her life is coming up. She's dipping
Speaker 2: her toe in the water and damn it, but it's
Speaker 2: you know, working out like it did before. So something's
Speaker 2: got to change, and she's trying to figure it out.
Speaker 2: And admitting that she sucks at dating goes a long
Speaker 2: way to I think, establish and maintain her friendship with Luke.
Speaker 1: She also includes the town like the town really is
Speaker 1: her rock. It's the collectives, it stars hollow, that is
Speaker 1: her permanence. Yeah, that's her safe place. That's where she
Speaker 1: found herself and raised her daughter. I mean, she's never
Speaker 1: going to leave that town. She's a lot like Luke
Speaker 1: in that way. I think when you know, that's why
Speaker 1: maybe these two are faded to be together because they
Speaker 1: are both that town. Yes, you know, he grew up there,
Speaker 1: but she adopted it. And I don't see her leaving, right, No,
Speaker 1: I don't see her leaving. Do you see Luke and
Speaker 1: Laurel eyes there together? Right, They're there forever in that
Speaker 1: town and they'll always be you, it will always be on. Yeah.
Speaker 1: When Luke said you have me right, you have me
Speaker 1: pretty good line.
Speaker 2: Huh, that's a great line. I mean, it just shows
Speaker 2: you that you can be a good friend, you can
Speaker 2: have a relationship with a guy and not screw it up, right,
Speaker 2: And I think that's what she needs to know, right.
Speaker 1: The inevitability of this relationship. It's inevitable, right, Yes, that's
Speaker 1: great writing. It has to feel inevitable if you want
Speaker 1: this thing to work, it's got to feel inevitable. From
Speaker 1: the first scene that we see them together, there's got
Speaker 1: to be a spark, right, There's got to be something there,
Speaker 1: you know. It seems like the writers they just they
Speaker 1: just they never give us too much. They give us
Speaker 1: just enough. Right that The magic of the show is
Speaker 1: that the magic.
Speaker 2: Robert no writing is the magic of the show it is.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so well written. This was but second season.
Speaker 2: This is the beginning of me working on Gilmour Girls.
Speaker 2: I think it's the fourth episode that I've done as
Speaker 2: a busboy. Overall, I think I've done about ten episodes
Speaker 2: so far. And I mean, I'm I'm still finding myself
Speaker 2: in the role of the bus boy and still try
Speaker 2: not to laugh on camera when you guys boy again,
Speaker 2: you and Roy with the one liners and Liz Torres
Speaker 2: coming in, Liz Liz coming in.
Speaker 1: That's right, you had to really repress your laughter.
Speaker 2: Yes, Oh my god, God, what you read to go
Speaker 2: There was a huge difference between reading the script or
Speaker 2: the sides that they give you. So okay, I know
Speaker 2: they're going to say this, but then when you deliver
Speaker 2: and then Liz delivers and Suki delivers those lines, it's like, shit,
Speaker 2: that is way funnier than I read it.
Speaker 1: To me, it's a very heartfelt scene, very sweet little scene. Yes,
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you my reaction to it when
Speaker 1: I first read it at the table read was you know,
Speaker 1: it gave me. I think it was the first time
Speaker 1: I felt secure that I was going to have a
Speaker 1: job going forward. Yeah, you know, because I was always
Speaker 1: a little like God, they're throwing so many guys, and
Speaker 1: I wanted to believe that this couldn't possibly.
Speaker 2: End.
Speaker 1: But you know, everybody's expendable that isn't like a Gilmore.
Speaker 1: And this is the scene that gave me that confidence,
Speaker 1: like I think I'm going to hang. I think I'm
Speaker 1: going to survive this if this sort of this merry
Speaker 1: go round of boyfriends.
Speaker 2: That is really funny. You say that because working background
Speaker 2: on the show, the ads in the first eighties were
Speaker 2: looking for a spot for me very kindly, and I
Speaker 2: was a towny walking around driving a car, and when
Speaker 2: that scene came out, going wow, I could They're gonna
Speaker 2: make me the bus boy. I guess I can do.
Speaker 2: The bus boys going to be the job that I'm
Speaker 2: going to do. And that's what it grew into that
Speaker 2: I was always in the dinerize the busboy, because you
Speaker 2: we're going to be there forever, you know what.
Speaker 1: Let's let's I want to ask you a couple of
Speaker 1: things about about how you got involved with Gilmore girls.
Speaker 1: You remember your first day on set?
Speaker 2: Wouldn't say I remember literally remember the first day on set,
Speaker 2: but I do remember coming in the first couple of times,
Speaker 2: and Carla was the first a d and she was saying, well,
Speaker 2: I'll find you something, you know. Was it going to
Speaker 2: be a teacher. We didn't know if Chilton and the
Speaker 2: teachers were going to be seen a lot, or were
Speaker 2: we going to be at Chilton mostly where we're going
Speaker 2: to be in the town generally mostly And later on
Speaker 2: as we just talked about, we found out that one
Speaker 2: of the primary sets would be Luke Steiner and we're
Speaker 2: going to be in there so much so trying to
Speaker 2: find out generalized essentially, it was first generalized that you're
Speaker 2: just going to be a towny and we'll see where
Speaker 2: it goes from there. And slowly certain specific things started
Speaker 2: coming up, like working in the diner, in which we
Speaker 2: had not just ask one or two principles, you would
Speaker 2: have up to six five six principles in and you
Speaker 2: needed someone or they needed someone to be reliable and
Speaker 2: do the background without screwing it up, you know, make
Speaker 2: the takes not about the background making mistake, but about
Speaker 2: the actors getting the work done and getting the best
Speaker 2: possibles work out of you guys. So I think this
Speaker 2: is probably one of the starting episodes one of the
Speaker 2: first episodes where they're going, oh, Rob's doing good at
Speaker 2: these complicated scenes.
Speaker 1: And can I interject something here? Days when I would
Speaker 1: be standing next to you, and you are always very
Speaker 1: friendly with everybody and very respectful and reverential. And one
Speaker 1: of the things we appreciated so much about you and
Speaker 1: the work that you were doing was that you took
Speaker 1: it so seriously like you were a member of the
Speaker 1: main cast, and that I was standing next to you
Speaker 1: one day and it was pretty early on and yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of people were in the diner and it
Speaker 1: was kind of a hot day and we were all
Speaker 1: dressed for winter and all that, and you were sweating
Speaker 1: your brains out and I could see the moisture on
Speaker 1: your shirt. I could see the coming through your shirt,
Speaker 1: the sweat stain. And you were just like focused every
Speaker 1: single take, focused, ready to go, ready to do your thing.
Speaker 1: And if somebody, another extra wasn't doing their job right,
Speaker 1: you would go over and you would you would tell
Speaker 1: them in the night nicest possible way. It's like you
Speaker 1: were the captain of the extras and you were making
Speaker 1: sure that it was the most believable background scene. And
Speaker 1: I just I just respect you so much for the
Speaker 1: work you put in. Because you put in the same
Speaker 1: amount of hours you put your work was maybe even
Speaker 1: harder because you know, you had to focus and listen
Speaker 1: to every line of dialogue to know exactly when to
Speaker 1: hit your mark on the other side of the din,
Speaker 1: when to pick up the plate, when to I mean,
Speaker 1: you had to do all of that stuff, and you know,
Speaker 1: we really marveled at your dedication and your skill at
Speaker 1: doing this. So good on here for that.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: No small job, no small job to work in that diner,
Speaker 1: you know, you know right, because those scenes were very,
Speaker 1: very complex, and the blocking was very complex at times.
