Speaker 1: Unpacking the Toolbox is a production of Shondaline Audio in
Speaker 1: partnership with Iheartradiots das Katie Tho.
Speaker 2: I just logged on and noticed that Giermo for this
Speaker 2: episode is wearing a very very very sexy red hoodie.
Speaker 2: Why would you be wearing a red hoodie today?
Speaker 1: Because in this episode, Huck tries to go incognito into
Speaker 1: a hotel. Well, he doesn't even realize he has to
Speaker 1: go incognity. He just happens to be wearing a red hoodie.
Speaker 1: Who's been wearing flannels? Like how many episodes?
Speaker 2: Stupid? I'm sorry, scandal, I love you all.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden he's like, he's like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: rock this bright red hoodie.
Speaker 2: Because they couldn't have like further down the line, being
Speaker 2: like the most wanted man in America is wearing a
Speaker 2: poop brown flannel. Right, it's like the most wanted man
Speaker 2: in America is wearing a red hoodie that like sticks.
Speaker 2: Although I honestly, until this episode, has Huck ever worn
Speaker 2: the color red.
Speaker 1: No, only when there's blood spatter on him does he
Speaker 1: have red on his body. But he has not worn
Speaker 1: the color red or any other color for that matter,
Speaker 1: I mean you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were always like all fucking dull and shit, boy,
Speaker 2: you looked cute in this you're dull. Well, we have
Speaker 2: a great episode because I love this episode, and we
Speaker 2: have very special guests who we're going to tease you
Speaker 2: about later. But wait, wait, wait, wait really quickly, I
Speaker 2: wanted to tell you that I got a text from
Speaker 2: Shonda Rhymes this morning.
Speaker 1: You did. I love it? What did she say? Does
Speaker 1: she love us?
Speaker 2: Yeah, she loves us. She's obsessed with us. She's going
Speaker 2: to put us in all of her shows from now
Speaker 2: until the end of time. But Shonda wrote, she sent
Speaker 2: me the Prince tweet? Did you know that Prince ever
Speaker 2: tweeted us?
Speaker 1: I did not, don't. I feel like if I would
Speaker 1: have known that, we would have ran with that shit.
Speaker 1: How did we? I didn't know? Did you?
Speaker 2: I did not know? And this she sent me a
Speaker 2: picture of Prince. He tweeted a picture We're going to
Speaker 2: post it when this episode comes out of himself dressed
Speaker 2: and it says a gladiator in a suit, and it's
Speaker 2: Prince in like a beautiful suit. My god, from his
Speaker 2: fucking own personal.
Speaker 1: Oh coount, my god.
Speaker 2: I'm showing this to g right now on the phone, Like,
Speaker 2: can you even handle this for one second?
Speaker 1: Katie?
Speaker 2: This was when he was alive.
Speaker 1: We have to retweet this like when this episode as
Speaker 1: this is amazing.
Speaker 2: This is how I never how did I know?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: But to be honest, Katie, remember it was like a
Speaker 1: whirlwind of things happening around us when shows were airing.
Speaker 1: In the tweeting, it was a lot going on in
Speaker 1: our worlds, right, Like there was a lot of shit,
Speaker 1: So we probably just missed it. But it's Prince. How
Speaker 1: did we freaking miss Prince?
Speaker 2: The fact that he even sat somewhere and watched anything
Speaker 2: of me doing anything is like absolutely fucking insane to me. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we have somebody coming on so special for you gladiators
Speaker 2: out there, and my mouth is already watering because she
Speaker 2: could win the award for bringing the best salads and
Speaker 2: the best fucking food that in seven years of scandal
Speaker 2: that we ever saw this person.
Speaker 1: And I first bonded over cum quats because she has
Speaker 1: the most amazing cum quats that she grows in her
Speaker 1: backyard and she brought me some and she used to
Speaker 1: put them in her salad, and ugh, now I can't get.
Speaker 2: Enough of her constant watering. She is incredible. She would
Speaker 2: come in to work sometimes with dirt under her nails,
Speaker 2: like and having to get a manicure in this and
Speaker 2: everything because she's like to put her hands in the
Speaker 2: earth because she's so fucking real.
Speaker 1: She is uh the best.
Speaker 2: Born and raised in a little town off of Alaska,
Speaker 2: like I think an island uff of Alaska, and her
Speaker 2: dad growing up was one of those deadliest catch fishermen.
Speaker 1: Do you know that? Yes, yes, yes, And I'm.
Speaker 2: Convinced it's why she's such an incredible actress because she literally,
Speaker 2: in my head, she just grew up playing imagination all
Speaker 2: the time because literally no one was the fuck around.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember she told me a story once that she, uh,
Speaker 1: the weather there was so crazy and we could ask
Speaker 1: her this when she pops on, that she jumped up
Speaker 1: or something in the wind like blew her away because
Speaker 1: she was so skinny at the time. I mean, my gosh,
Speaker 1: when she comes.
Speaker 2: On, she is incredible. She's also the inventor of the
Speaker 2: eye hug. Yes, we're going to talk to you about yeah,
Speaker 2: because she needs to explain to you all what that
Speaker 2: is in all its glory. She was the last person
Speaker 2: hired of the series regulars on Scandal. We were waiting
Speaker 2: and waiting and waiting.
Speaker 1: That's a very good fun fact, Katie. Yeah, hell yeah,
Speaker 1: she was the last one.
Speaker 2: Who the hell was going to be playing? Yeah, Abby Wheeling. Yes,
Speaker 2: And we are here today hanging out with one of
Speaker 2: our true true other gladiators from Olivia Popan Associates, the
Speaker 2: one and only Darby stanch Oh. Oh yeah, I'm honestly
Speaker 2: going to be emotional.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, dubs, Miracle you guys, dum.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you. We've had other people on Carrie, John
Speaker 2: and Tony, but no one makes me feel like kind
Speaker 2: of emotional, like.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I don't know, because if we
Speaker 1: were the crew.
Speaker 2: Right, we were like more in the trenches or something like.
Speaker 2: I just feel like I feel like the three of us.
Speaker 2: And then of course the first three seasons Columbus were like.
Speaker 1: It was special. Yeah.
Speaker 4: It reminds me a lot of the same that I
Speaker 4: feel with people I did an MFA program with, Like, Yes,
Speaker 4: we've seen each other in absolutely every single state of mind,
Speaker 4: and I feel like I know you guys better just
Speaker 4: by looking at you. That's the words that I know
Speaker 4: most people. Yes, familiarity.
Speaker 2: I completely agree. Can we just stay for the record
Speaker 2: that you are so beautiful? It is a show like
Speaker 2: it is a shock to the system, Like she's here
Speaker 2: with her long red hair and her beautiful face, and
Speaker 2: we've been like g and I have watched the first
Speaker 2: two seasons and you are so remarkable. You have so
Speaker 2: much amazing material. And by the way, this just occurred
Speaker 2: to me. We're in these two seasons before you even
Speaker 2: became the fucking chief of staff.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, the secretary I know, which was like a
Speaker 4: whole inner series for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you became red right, like the.
Speaker 4: Nicknames, and then I had that big TV hair and
Speaker 4: started wearing the dresses and you know, and then when
Speaker 4: low status like trying to get in the bubble at
Speaker 4: the White House and being called Gabby, Yeah, like it
Speaker 4: was a whole different thing. Yeah.
Speaker 2: First, tell us your origin story of how you joined
Speaker 2: the Scandal family. Do you remember your audition or where
Speaker 2: you were in your life.
Speaker 4: I remember that you guys, I had been binging Damages
Speaker 4: with Nails and Rose Byrne, and I was at a
Speaker 4: point in my career where I was like, Okay, I
Speaker 4: really want to play a woman like this. You know,
Speaker 4: on a show like this, where you know, they get
Speaker 4: to do all the big things and they're and they're
Speaker 4: like the main event. And I was at a point
Speaker 4: where I was like I might quit acting. And that
Speaker 4: was the first summer really thought that way where I
Speaker 4: was like, if I'm only going to be called to
Speaker 4: be on a you know, a guest star on some
Speaker 4: sort of episodic where I cry over you know, a
Speaker 4: dead husband, I'm going to go do something else. So
Speaker 4: I was in that state of mind when I auditioned
Speaker 4: First Gamble, and I was just not having it. I
Speaker 4: was so no nonsense in my life. What you see
Speaker 4: is what you get. I walked in the room and
Speaker 4: Betsy Beer's, you know, Betsy Shadder in the room, Paul mcwigan,
Speaker 4: Wenda lay. Betsy says, that's a great suit. And as
Speaker 4: opposed to saying you know what the designer was or anything,
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, well, it's nothing special. It's just
Speaker 4: all a lot of good tailor you know, so abby
Speaker 4: wheeling so much true, Yeah, so true. I think Betsy laughed.
Speaker 4: And then we did the audition.
Speaker 2: What was the scene?
Speaker 4: I had like three four scenes that one page is
Speaker 4: of war where I where I learned this big clue
Speaker 4: and I so there's that like kind of awkward side
Speaker 4: of Abbey that we see. There was a monologue that
Speaker 4: was never in the show that Shonda wrote about Stephen
Speaker 4: how Steven smells like apples and man, wow.
Speaker 2: Well god, we see it all over your face in
Speaker 2: a bunch of episodes.
Speaker 4: Anyway, we did the scenes and I got done and
Speaker 4: sat down and there was pure silence, and Shonda was
Speaker 4: just staring at me. And you know, Sho is like
Speaker 4: this presence and sure her brain is going, but she doesn't.
Speaker 4: You know, it's like time has stopped. Everyone stopped. Everyone's
Speaker 4: looking at her again. Because of the frame of mind,
Speaker 4: I was at take it or leave it, you know,
Speaker 4: I didn't start to oh, thank you so much, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: anything again.
Speaker 2: I just sat whatever, this is it.
Speaker 4: I stared right back at her. You did that for
Speaker 4: like a minute.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty intense.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: That's mostly what I remember. And then I had to
Speaker 4: come back again, I think for some suits who needed
Speaker 4: to see with my hair down and can she cry
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. So he did another little round.
Speaker 4: But at that point I could tell.
Speaker 1: This all happened very quickly though, right Darby, because I was.
Speaker 4: The last one to be cast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, do you guys remember this?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: We we had been we had been rehearsing this show already,
Speaker 1: we had been rehearsing the pilot and we were all like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, who's going to play Abbey? Who's going
Speaker 1: to play Abbey?
Speaker 4: And then okay, and I have two very specific memories
Speaker 4: of you guys really. But first was so I get
Speaker 4: cast and we go to the Prospect Studios Prospect Studios, right,
Speaker 4: and you guys are we're all waiting for like screen
Speaker 4: tests or something or rehearsal or something. And I walk
Speaker 4: to the where all this is happening, and Katie, you're
Speaker 4: one of the first ones I see. Do you remember this?
Speaker 4: What I remember like yesterday and you're sitting there. I
Speaker 4: remember where you were sitting at this table and you
Speaker 4: look up at me, and you know your face, I mean,
Speaker 4: you have this sunshine face. You have the most beautiful,
Speaker 4: kind eager like I can't wait to meet my new classmate,
Speaker 4: you know, my new show.
Speaker 2: I felt, I.
Speaker 4: Know, and you were so I just remember your radiance
Speaker 4: and I was like, Okay, this is gonna be fun.
Speaker 2: I remember that moment so well. I was sitting at
Speaker 2: a table that had a chair attached to it or something,
Speaker 2: and you can walk in, and you were wearing your
Speaker 2: suit that I think you auditioned in, like I don't
Speaker 2: know or no, was it the suit?
Speaker 4: You know, I don't actually know what I was wearing
Speaker 4: in that moment, But for rehearses, I was like in
Speaker 4: a long black coat of my own that ended up
Speaker 4: being very much like what Abby wears.
Speaker 2: It just made me feel like, well, I just.
Speaker 4: I'm a sucker for a long black tailored coat. And
Speaker 4: then Jared, when we did cut you a couple of
Speaker 4: days later after warhears as, we did a studio read,
Speaker 4: a read for the studio read for the network, and
Speaker 4: it was like a big room of you know, all
Speaker 4: the important people. And I remember coming into this room
Speaker 4: and I was feeling very much like I often do,
Speaker 4: like like a watcher, like just kind of quieter, and
Speaker 4: you were doing that. You were quiet, no one was
Speaker 4: talking to you were already sitting down, I think, at
Speaker 4: the table, and I went up and I joined you,
Speaker 4: and I just remember, I just remember like that being
Speaker 4: the first moment of connection of like okay energy.
Speaker 1: I remember that. I remember that and moving forward from there.
Speaker 1: Every time you and I had a scene together. When
Speaker 1: we started shooting, it just felt special because our worlds
Speaker 1: didn't really collide that much, right, Like on screen.
Speaker 4: I know special task, special group of individuals. I feel
Speaker 4: very connected to each and everyone, especially this Gladiator.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 2: I mean going back to these cases of the week
Speaker 2: and like you being up on the board and you
Speaker 2: being like, I do know that Wally.
Speaker 1: Was She's pulling out that like hair from the from
Speaker 1: the drain in that one episode.
Speaker 4: An investigator, right and taking.
Speaker 2: Super into Steven. The episodes were like you find out
Speaker 2: Steven's sleeping with prostitutes, and you have all these amazing
Speaker 2: lines in the first season when you're like finding out
Speaker 2: what hardwood floors are, like the drapes and the curtains,
Speaker 2: and like you're the snarky, ironic character dry so needed,
Speaker 2: so funny, and your relationship with Olivia is just.
Speaker 1: Like so good. We'll be right back, guys.
Speaker 2: Are there any memories that you have that really stick
Speaker 2: out from the pilot?
Speaker 4: Yeah, shooting in the original building downtown for some reason
Speaker 4: that period of time. I think it's because we had
Speaker 4: to do all night shoots. Yeah, because of we were
Speaker 4: shooting night for night I guess right, And it was
Speaker 4: also maybe just when we could get in there. I
Speaker 4: don't remember. We were there all night long in that giant,
Speaker 4: drafty building and there was a jewelry robbery that there
Speaker 4: was a robbery that happened across the street at the
Speaker 4: jewelry store for real.
Speaker 1: I love that you remember that the jewel heighst and
Speaker 1: we all couldn't leave the building. They resolved it or.
Speaker 4: Whatever, and so I just remember the sequence that all
Speaker 4: night long, like we were doing a sequence where it
Speaker 4: was the cloths feeding up but you see all the
Speaker 4: different evidence going up on the board and then and
Speaker 4: how long that took didn't fail me even though it yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, in Paul mccueigan's style, it sped up really
Speaker 4: really fast and takety seconds. But how many hours that took?
Speaker 1: Do you remember the windows leaking because it was raining outside?
Speaker 1: It was it was raining.
Speaker 4: It was drafty, it was yeah, I mean, wasn't there
Speaker 4: like a crazy elevator situation just to get up there? Yes?
Speaker 4: I was well, I was having my own high health drama.
Speaker 4: I was having I was getting blisters.
Speaker 2: I remember that because you were stockings in.
Speaker 4: The show my god, it was so awful. It was
Speaker 4: It's so funny being were like, you know, you can
Speaker 4: change shoes, even though we've shot half those things. You
Speaker 4: need to change shoes because I.
Speaker 3: Was just.
Speaker 4: They were so supportive, you know, and literally just finding
Speaker 4: our feet, understanding what the tone of the show was
Speaker 4: and everything. But you know, when your boss will say
Speaker 4: something like that, you feel quite supportive. Yeah, I'm sure
Speaker 4: struggling with something so technical.
Speaker 1: Yeah, flashing forward, Darby, do you remember you and I
Speaker 1: were shooting a scene. I think it was the last season.
Speaker 1: We were in a scene We're at a party, and
Speaker 1: we were like, let's try like Huck is rubbing your feet.
Speaker 1: We rehearsed the scene where I'm rubbing your feet, and
Speaker 1: I think Tom was like, yeah, I don't I don't
Speaker 1: think I don't remember that.
Speaker 4: Oh shut it down.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yeah, I thought it was.
Speaker 4: Why I would have liked it.
Speaker 1: Was you and I liked it because we were tired.
Speaker 1: It was very like, you know, just like your little
Speaker 1: or older brother. I was gonna say a little brother.
Speaker 4: Maybe he thought it would just like lead to too
Speaker 4: many questions.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, exactly interesting interesting debut.
Speaker 1: Did you know about Abby's backstory at all about the
Speaker 1: abusive husband, about any of that before you got the
Speaker 1: role was that.
Speaker 4: No, I did not know. And this particular episode was
Speaker 4: an interesting moment in that in that whole story, I
Speaker 4: did not know that at all. And I think it
Speaker 4: first comes up in season one between Olivia and Abby.
Speaker 4: Think it's a very inflammatory scene. I don't remember all
Speaker 4: the words, but I remember Abby basically really sticking into
Speaker 4: Olivia and saying, you've got your names on that door
Speaker 4: you have to fix. You've got to say it, just
Speaker 4: like you've helped me out of this relationship. And I
Speaker 4: didn't know much. And you know, when I think about it,
Speaker 4: it wasn't like I was briefed about it or you know,
Speaker 4: I just sort of learned as we went, and then
Speaker 4: I I researched, you know, domestic abuse. I started to
Speaker 4: build a backstory like we all do with these characters.
Speaker 4: And then, you know, it's so interesting because every time
Speaker 4: that Abby had anything domestic abuse come up about her
Speaker 4: past relationship or a trigger in some way, it always
Speaker 4: was like a very PTSD kind of experience. I, as
Speaker 4: an actor, didn't know how these scenes would turn out.
Speaker 4: It was also surprising what was written in the scripts.
Speaker 4: It was new, and I would have a very visceral
Speaker 4: reaction to the material and I wouldn't get to.
Speaker 2: Collectual about it or yeah we were I feel like
Speaker 2: that was the process.
Speaker 4: It was very very strange how how that process was,
Speaker 4: and now it affected me. But I think in the
Speaker 4: episode that we're talking about, there's a scene where Abby's
Speaker 4: waiting for David in his apartment and there's no words
Speaker 4: and Abby slaps him.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, but that's your brilliance? Are your few?
Speaker 2: Me and Carrie used to say this about you. Only
Speaker 2: Darby can go from like is she gonna laugh? And
Speaker 2: then she gets a twinge of emotion and then you
Speaker 2: can see her bury it and then you can see
Speaker 2: like anger come out, but like in your face. Without
Speaker 2: them writing anything, we could see all of that on
Speaker 2: you so beautifully, And.
Speaker 1: In this episode it happens. In this episode you go
Speaker 1: from like anger to lust to hatred to emotional oh
Speaker 1: my god.
Speaker 2: Almost crying, to the relationship that couldn't be. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: we're going to get there. I can't even taking like
Speaker 2: such a hard left turn. And I talk about how
Speaker 2: delicious the salads you made on set for or whatever
Speaker 2: food you were bringing in, and honestly, you would come
Speaker 2: in with fucking ship that I don't know if you'd
Speaker 2: grown in your own garden manicure because there's dirt underneath
Speaker 2: my nails.
Speaker 1: We enjoyed watching your salads. We just.
Speaker 2: The spinach, the like nuts. There'd be like it was delicious,
Speaker 2: and then you'd always put lemon and stuff in like
Speaker 2: a little lemon baggy to like squeeze it. I was like,
Speaker 2: she is the classiest bitch guy, remember, oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, that's a wonderful thing to be obs
Speaker 3: that is, you were a great cook.
Speaker 2: And also can this bring us to I do think
Speaker 2: you also grew grapefruits and you had the most incredible
Speaker 2: Instagram video during COVID that saved all of our lives
Speaker 2: where you instructed us all how to cut said grapefruit
Speaker 2: while you had a breakdown of hysteria, which glass of
Speaker 2: Darby can only break like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what happens when you were quarantine.
Speaker 1: And and it wasn't only in one way. You had
Speaker 1: different ways you could do it. You were like, well
Speaker 1: you could do slices or you could do cute, which
Speaker 1: was brilliant.
Speaker 2: You are the most delicious human being Oh my god,
Speaker 2: do you remember in DC for the penultimate episode when
Speaker 2: you and George and all of us we were like
Speaker 2: running around at like the John Wilkspooth Theater where Lincoln
Speaker 2: got shot, and we were running around to the bathrooms.
Speaker 2: We were like freezing cold, but we were just running around.
Speaker 2: Like you said, I think you nailed it like classmates,
Speaker 2: like as if they were like back in elementary school,
Speaker 2: like almost giddy.
Speaker 4: Some of my favorite memories of all of us are
Speaker 4: like backstage before we go on to do Haimy fest
Speaker 4: or or Jimmy Cammel, you know, just these sort of
Speaker 4: backstage moments where we're in the wings and publicity is
Speaker 4: set to work. That's like, really, you know, you're not acting,
Speaker 4: you're selling your show. But it was always play with everybody.
Speaker 4: There was always there was always We sent so many
Speaker 4: upfronts together in New York, and I just remember being
Speaker 4: like going through backs of kitchens, you know, being in elevators.
Speaker 2: I forgot about that.
Speaker 4: Waiting at the upfronts, for instance, and there'd be all
Speaker 4: these other shows and all these other casts. It would
Speaker 4: be quite dry and kind of a corporate day. And
Speaker 4: if we would just be like yucking it up.
Speaker 1: We were rock stars. Man. That was so much fun,
Speaker 1: you know what I.
Speaker 4: Mean, just the chemistry, the fun that we all have together.
Speaker 4: There's just this now actual band or so such a you.
Speaker 2: Know, do you get recognized? I wanted to ask you
Speaker 2: because I feel like I can hide really easily. G
Speaker 2: sticks out like a sore thumb. And I've always been like, God, Darby,
Speaker 2: must stick out like a sore thumb. Even though you're
Speaker 2: very good at stuffing that red hair underneath the hat.
Speaker 2: You're just so tall, You're a giraffe. I mean you
Speaker 2: to me, you would stick out even if I didn't
Speaker 2: know you.
Speaker 4: I definitely enjoyed when we were in the thick of
Speaker 4: the pandemic and we were wearing gasps everywhere. I really
Speaker 4: enjoy that.
Speaker 1: Yes, but I still.
Speaker 4: Got recognized with that because of my red hair. So
Speaker 4: you're right, if I put a hat on, I do
Speaker 4: feel like right now I'm getting recognized. For the last role,
Speaker 4: I did a lot more, only because I look more.
Speaker 4: My hair's a little bit more. It's not as red
Speaker 4: as when I was on Scandal. You know, I really
Speaker 4: bumped up the red there for a bit. But yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, here and there.
Speaker 1: For the listeners. Darby plays Nina Locke on an amazing
Speaker 1: show called Lock and Key. It's on Netflix, yes, and
Speaker 1: I don't know why it took me so freaking long
Speaker 1: to start watching it.
Speaker 4: But because there's so much content cabs now.
Speaker 1: Truly, how was that experience shooting Lock and Key?
Speaker 4: It was great?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was nice.
Speaker 4: It happened just, you know, several months after Scandal. It
Speaker 4: was a three season a run. I liked it because
Speaker 4: it was something so totally different from Abbey Wheeling, that
Speaker 4: kind of a murder mystery so good, wrapped up in
Speaker 4: a show that's very magic or kind of light horror oriented.
Speaker 4: So it was all very very different from Scandal. The
Speaker 4: world of it, well.
Speaker 2: Except for another Scandal cast member who is on Lock
Speaker 2: and Key, Brendon Brendan Hines, Mister Tatiana Maslani or to grow,
Speaker 2: mister Xana Bayou. Gideon Wallace also was on Lock and Key.
Speaker 2: Working with Darby. Was that so crazy?
Speaker 4: It was crazy. It's so funny. I every once in
Speaker 4: a while I'll still text him a picture of us
Speaker 4: rolling him up in the carpet. Remember, yeah, he dies,
Speaker 4: there was a photo that we have, or the whole
Speaker 4: all of it are standing over him. Katie, you're so bloody,
Speaker 4: you're in air. Yes, and we literally roll home up
Speaker 4: in this carpet. So I'll just send him out without
Speaker 4: any words.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 4: Back to the good old.
Speaker 2: Days, hilarious. Earlier on, when we were recording these episodes,
Speaker 2: I was the one that told Giermos, like, guess what
Speaker 2: Brendan Hines did in COVID He got married Tatiana Maslani,
Speaker 2: and Geirmouth thought, I said, Oxana by.
Speaker 5: Lesle what So it sends us down a real long
Speaker 5: imagination train of what what Idi and on Oxana's children
Speaker 5: would be like or something.
Speaker 2: Darby, will you do something with us? When we get
Speaker 2: to the synopsis? Would you do us the biggest solid
Speaker 2: If I read the first paragraph, g is going to
Speaker 2: read the second, and you'll read the little third paragraph,
Speaker 2: and we're going to try.
Speaker 6: Yours.
Speaker 2: Oh no, we only got a year, and it's remarkable
Speaker 2: how far we have fallen, you guys. To day we
Speaker 2: were talking about we have Darby Stanchfiel here, the one
Speaker 2: and Only Abbey Wheel and we're talking about episode two
Speaker 2: oh nine, which was titled blown Away. It aired on
Speaker 2: December thirteenth of twenty twelve, and it.

Speaker 6: Bally Doya, Dan Bucatinski is James Novak, George Newburn our
Speaker 6: Georgie as Charlie, Deborah Mooney as Vernon Thornton, Shannon Cochrane
Speaker 6: as Attorney General, Susan Sawyer, and Kate McGregor Stewart as Mary.
Speaker 2: Here's the synopsis, Sorry, Ready, here we go. Olivia and
Speaker 2: the OPI team are shocked Whenhuck reveals that he's the
Speaker 2: person the FBI are looking for in connection with Fitzest shooting.
Speaker 2: As the team gets to work uncovering the truth about Becky,
Speaker 2: Huck spirals and denial until Becky asks Huck to run
Speaker 2: away with her, admitting the truth of her involvement and
Speaker 2: and her background.
Speaker 1: As Huck struggles with the decision to run away with Becky,
Speaker 1: Olivia and doors fittest potential funeral planning, and Cyrus looks
Speaker 1: into exactly what James knows about defiance. As Huck finally
Speaker 1: decides to stay Becky anticipates his betrayal and kills the family.
Speaker 4: Howkwak Holostyle is up to even more tricks as he
Speaker 4: gives Sally Langston and nothing inform mentioned about Berna Thor
Speaker 4: to put her off the bench. But Verna has plans
Speaker 4: of her own when she offers to resign or give
Speaker 4: it the name of the person who wanted for shooting
Speaker 4: the president.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like.
Speaker 2: Riding a fuck you guys my heart right now?
Speaker 4: Yay, that's anxiety and.
Speaker 2: You have that in spades, yes, oh yeah. First and foremost,
Speaker 2: the biggest scene from this episode that shows the emotion
Speaker 2: is like you said, it's the fingers in his mouth.
Speaker 1: Where did that come from? Darby? Was that your idea?
Speaker 1: Was that in the script?
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm so glad you asked this farm because that
Speaker 4: I have been asked this question so many times from fans,
Speaker 4: from fans and from you know, like every time we
Speaker 4: do press interviews. That was one of the questions I asked,
Speaker 4: which prizes me because we were so bound to the script.
Speaker 4: And I remember after a table reached on and I said, Okay,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna write the scene you know how she does.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna write the scene for you guys, and we
Speaker 4: get the scene and there's no words. What we did
Speaker 4: is exactly what she wrote. What we werehearsed it just
Speaker 4: like you would, you know, some sort of stunt, whether
Speaker 4: it's violence or sex or whatever those sort of sequences
Speaker 4: in TV land. You know, it was very technical and
Speaker 4: it was very much like a dance, like you put
Speaker 4: your foot here, you put your fingers here, go on,
Speaker 4: and so it was really really clinical and it was
Speaker 4: all shown it. She was all that she wrote under.
Speaker 2: Why did she ever say.
Speaker 4: Why I didn't ask her about the scene. I didn't
Speaker 4: discuss it with her. I almost felt like it was
Speaker 4: so powerful on its own. I just wanted to do it,
Speaker 4: execute it kind of without thinking. It goes back to
Speaker 4: what I was saying about, you know, finding more about
Speaker 4: Abbie's backstory, and this is the first I mean, what's
Speaker 4: so astonishing for me about the scene is it's the
Speaker 4: first time you see Abby's maybe her past domestic abuse,
Speaker 4: violence stuff sort of creep up in her life in
Speaker 4: a present day way that she's initiating and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's tied up with.
Speaker 2: Her lover, her trauma.
Speaker 4: There's so many questions about that and he accepts it.
Speaker 1: And he's so submissive to you. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's an astonishing scene. There's so many questions.
Speaker 1: But Darby, what about the smacking? You really smacked him?
Speaker 1: I thought me and Katie have a scene where she
Speaker 1: smacks the shit out of me like three times. I
Speaker 1: lost my hearing for about twenty minutes. But I was
Speaker 1: in Katie's defense. I was like, smack me for real,
Speaker 1: do not play smack me? And then I was like,
Speaker 1: what what did you say? But it looked like you
Speaker 1: really smack Josh. Did you guys have a conversation about that,
Speaker 1: about smacking him, how that was going to be, how
Speaker 1: that you were going to do that.
Speaker 4: I don't really recall. I don't except that it was
Speaker 4: just like this sheet that John had written all of
Speaker 4: these actions, and it was just try and remember one
Speaker 4: thing in the saint, you know, in the right order,
Speaker 4: and do it with no words.
Speaker 2: First we come in first, I do this. Then I
Speaker 2: shot up him twice. Then we pull apart. Then I
Speaker 2: put fingers down, and then I lift my skirt. Then
Speaker 2: I pushed it out.
Speaker 4: It was three fingers. I think it was so specific, you.
Speaker 1: Know, But you guys did it so well. You could
Speaker 1: have done all that, and it could have been a
Speaker 1: shitty scene. But the reason that people remember it is
Speaker 1: because you guys played it so well, so.
Speaker 2: Real, so good, so good, He's so good, and it's
Speaker 2: so you can see her feeling like embarrassed and then powerful,
Speaker 2: and then hating him and then wanting to be with him,
Speaker 2: and then being sad for where they were, what their
Speaker 2: relationship could have been, and just like there's so much
Speaker 2: and then she literally lifts her skirt up. You have
Speaker 2: sex with them, and then there's this whole moment where
Speaker 2: you stand up and you repull your skirt down over
Speaker 2: these amazing tights, thank you Lyn paw Right. They're thigh
Speaker 2: highs kind of thing, and then you flip your red
Speaker 2: hair in like a sexy way, which was incredible, and
Speaker 2: then you just pull your skirt down, fix your sort
Speaker 2: of jacket, and then you like walk out of the
Speaker 2: apartment and just fucking leave his ass.
Speaker 1: But that look she looks back at him and has
Speaker 1: this face where she's like about to cry, but no,
Speaker 1: fuck you, I'm not gonna cry.
Speaker 2: So emotional. Like other huge moments of this episode, this
Speaker 2: is the episode where Becky, played by Susie poorfar. She
Speaker 2: finds out that Huck might be framing her to be
Speaker 2: caught for shooting the president, and to get back at Huck,
Speaker 2: she shoots his family. Yes, and I remember being at
Speaker 2: the table read because she shoots the two little girls,
Speaker 2: the mom, the dad, and the.
Speaker 1: Dog, and people were more upset about the dog. People
Speaker 1: were like, remember that bitch. Yeah right. This was the
Speaker 1: first episode that I I mean, and I did this
Speaker 1: several times after this that I called my managers and
Speaker 1: I told them what I was going to be doing
Speaker 1: in the episode because I was so excited and what
Speaker 1: was happening in the episode, Like I've never done that
Speaker 1: with another job, Like on this job, I feel like
Speaker 1: I did that a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really really cool. It's really sweet.
Speaker 1: And the fact that Seanda went there with that scene
Speaker 1: of you know, we see that whole family dead.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, but I didn't need to pull back on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And we're talking season two, so everything was so shocking. Yes,
Speaker 4: it's almost like season one establishes the show. It feels
Speaker 4: quite procedural, and season two it just goes off.
Speaker 2: The rail, totally off the rails. At the end of
Speaker 2: this episode, they take Hawk under the Patriot Act and
Speaker 2: so we start the whole journey of him being like
Speaker 2: waterboarded and orchard in the Pentagon and all that kind
Speaker 2: of shit. But there's also just such great stuff in
Speaker 2: this episode, as per usual, with just God, you worked
Speaker 2: so much with Columbus, Like what was that You guys
Speaker 2: really were the core of OPA, because Quinn's really the
Speaker 2: newbie and Huck is a fucking weirdo beyond and not
Speaker 2: that Abby and Harrison aren't, but Abby and Harrison are
Speaker 2: sort of like the stronghold, like, and I see that
Speaker 2: so much in this episode because this episode, Olivia's kind
Speaker 2: of moved back into the White House and she's.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's back and forth. It did feel like in
Speaker 4: season two more and more Abby and Harrison were being partnered,
Speaker 4: but they were being assigned more together, and so you know,
Speaker 4: it kind of worked, I think great in that Harrison
Speaker 4: was so sort of charismatic and loose and charming and
Speaker 4: Abby is like such a smart ap and a cut
Speaker 4: you know, like they just seem like opposite. So I
Speaker 4: remember having they're being nice, nice scenes. They're written for
Speaker 4: those characters where you can really feel the opposites.
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking about this, like your Josh Molina stuff was
Speaker 2: so amazing in seasons one and two. I mean, Josh,
Speaker 2: Abby and David Rosen were really the first couple that
Speaker 2: they wrote on Scandal, other than the ones that had
Speaker 2: already been established, Like we'd already had Fits and Olivia,
Speaker 2: we already had Cyrus and James. Yes, yes, but when
Speaker 2: he breaks you up because Olivia is telling Harrison like
Speaker 2: your one job is to make sure that David and
Speaker 2: don't ask me why, but David and Abby can't be
Speaker 2: together because the two of you are going behind your
Speaker 2: back and putting the pieces together about Cytron and the
Speaker 2: election rigging. He breaks you guys up, and you have
Speaker 2: this amazing scene during the case of the Week is
Speaker 2: like the really really rich millionaire crazy guy. But there's
Speaker 2: a whole episode where you do are on a stakeout
Speaker 2: and you slow dance to some people at a jazz
Speaker 2: You're gonna find a nice guy because he sets David
Speaker 2: Rosen up to make it seem like he had abused
Speaker 2: his past women and.
Speaker 4: You want so bad with Alby's background for her to
Speaker 4: be happy, and then you know yes, and then you
Speaker 4: know Harrison, it's such a good guy in terms of
Speaker 4: them working together and well, that seems to be a
Speaker 4: common theme in this show, doesn't it. You know, the
Speaker 4: the things that we our characters do for power or
Speaker 4: for you know, to fix something, either in a good
Speaker 4: way or or because of being blackmailed or because of
Speaker 4: hunger power. It's I remember that, Yeah, I remember.
Speaker 1: That by any means necessary. Right, we got we got
Speaker 1: shit done. Can we talk about you and josh Joshua
Speaker 1: Molina on set? How he would push which he was
Speaker 1: such a ask to.
Speaker 2: You mag your sides down, which, by the way, he
Speaker 2: did to me too. He's a fucking turd.
Speaker 1: Not to me, because I would have been like, look, motherfucker.
Speaker 2: He told josh we said the only people you were
Speaker 2: scared of was gear. He never fucked with Germo, really did.
Speaker 4: He never rank you.
Speaker 1: He pranked me that one time, and then after that
Speaker 1: he didn't do it again. And I could tell you
Speaker 1: what happened. I don't know. I think he could just
Speaker 1: tell that I was not I was not going to play.
Speaker 1: I was like, don't play with me. But I remember
Speaker 1: I remember him at one point we were in oh
Speaker 1: Pa and we were on wheelie chairs and he would
Speaker 1: grab you while you were sitting down and roll you
Speaker 1: like twenty feet away from everybody. And he would do
Speaker 1: this over.
Speaker 2: Over six scenes with this asshole.
Speaker 1: You were such a good sport.
Speaker 2: We had him on and I said to him, you
Speaker 2: were the most polarizing person of the Scandal crew.
Speaker 4: And what did you say?
Speaker 2: He was psyched about it. He was like, he was like,
Speaker 2: give me all the edge. He loves it.
Speaker 4: He loves to be the troublemaker does he wants that
Speaker 4: to be his reputation. The thing that I've was most
Speaker 4: humored by, I think, is that every once in a
Speaker 4: while we'd have some really neaty scene, you know, I
Speaker 4: mean just it would be immediate relationship scene where we're
Speaker 4: breaking up, or you know, something a three four page scene,
Speaker 4: lots of words, scandal pace, we're in the makeup trailor
Speaker 4: he hasn't looked at at once because he has a photographic,
Speaker 4: freaking photographic memory, so he just live in the makeup
Speaker 4: care We ran the lines once or twice, and he
Speaker 4: knows it like that, where I, on the other hand,
Speaker 4: for the last forty eight hours or whatever long and
Speaker 4: has this really dissecting this thing I've been I mean
Speaker 4: not to say that I'm a slow learner. I think
Speaker 4: anybody could be qualified as a slow learner and be
Speaker 4: unscandaled for seven users. I think we all learned to
Speaker 4: memorize quite quickly, but my process was just so different
Speaker 4: from his. I think I got such a big kick
Speaker 4: out of that that he he's so good. I mean,
Speaker 4: he's such a mass at the verbose role that he played,
Speaker 4: and you know, the thoughts are very clear. He executes
Speaker 4: it so well. It's so brilliant. But we just would
Speaker 4: approach it such different ways, and he'd learned it in
Speaker 4: like ten minutes and then, you know, be off to
Speaker 4: prank someone else.
Speaker 2: So we will be back with more after the break.
Speaker 2: Oh you know what I want to talk to you about.
Speaker 2: Remember I've talked about it on this podcast before, like
Speaker 2: the goodbye process of like like I have to hug
Speaker 2: everyone and say goodbye and all this stuff. And Darby
Speaker 2: was a person who like never moved shit into her trailer.
Speaker 2: I remember at the end of season one or something,
Speaker 2: you were like, oh, I won't be here when we're
Speaker 2: all saying goodbye, like I'm out, thank you, Yeah something
Speaker 2: I'm paraphrasing. Yeah, yeah, can you talk about that a
Speaker 2: little bit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's I do remember what you're saying. And it
Speaker 4: was at the end of season one. Okay, we shot
Speaker 4: seven episodes and we didn't know if we were coming back,
Speaker 4: right we were shooting for as a mid season replacement.
Speaker 4: So we're we're on the last scenes together in the room,
Speaker 4: and it felt like most actors were, you know, we're
Speaker 4: really into saying goodbye and getting emotional and hugging a
Speaker 4: lot and talking about what it meant to them that
Speaker 4: I think it's just a habit that I it's it's
Speaker 4: really just kind of a muscle that I've developed over
Speaker 4: time being in this business. Not too high, not too well,
Speaker 4: you know, it's it's a protection or a diplomatic you know.
Speaker 4: I had a great time, but I'm not I'm not
Speaker 4: going to count any chickens before the hatch. I'm not
Speaker 4: going to assume that I'm back. I'm not going to
Speaker 4: celebrate before it's happened, you know, and even when something
Speaker 4: is awarded. My management team said this about me, like,
Speaker 4: you're really a funny one because you don't ever get
Speaker 4: to I don't burst into tears when I you know,
Speaker 4: when I got scandal or book something huge, O, my god, beautiful,
Speaker 4: But that's beautiful and I admire that. And that's the actors.
Speaker 4: I mean, we're feeling and we're right. I mean, Katie,
Speaker 4: I love your hugging and not letting go. Belly is
Speaker 4: very much the same. You're that that kind of love
Speaker 4: where you just want to show someone and you're feeling it.
Speaker 4: It's so beautiful. Sometimes I was more like that.
Speaker 2: But you know, we're we're a perfect Matt Darby Stanfield.
Speaker 4: But I do like it. We're all so different too.
Speaker 4: I think that makes it more interesting. You know, you're
Speaker 4: all the same. It would be it would be. Yeah,
Speaker 4: back to my thing about Josh Wullia. So I think
Speaker 4: I enjoy working with them because.
Speaker 2: It's just such a different derby. I promise these people.
Speaker 2: Can you tell us right quick? What's an eye hug?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: She's doing it right now, folks, Yeah, right now?
Speaker 4: Who invented that? We were at all of us? We
Speaker 4: were in the conference room. Maybe was it Carrien?
Speaker 1: I thought it was you. Yeah, you were the eye
Speaker 1: hug inventor.
Speaker 4: I was probably because I'm like kind of like lest contact.
Speaker 1: You were like, don't touch me, stay open there. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna hugging with my eyes.
Speaker 2: But that's so sweet. Would we would all stand around
Speaker 2: the O PA table and it would be fucking late
Speaker 2: at night, we will have been shooting for a million hours,
Speaker 2: and then we would just look across and do like
Speaker 2: a really nice slow blank to me and say, you know,
Speaker 2: she's sending me an eye hug beautiful. Okay, I'm giving it.
Speaker 1: Let's give it.
Speaker 2: Darby Stansfield was the inventor of she created it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll take it.
Speaker 2: Before we do some tweets at the time really quickly. Gee,
Speaker 2: is there any scenes from episode two O nine that
Speaker 2: stick out to.
Speaker 1: You some of the stuff that sticks out? His stuff
Speaker 1: with James and Cyrus. James is back on his ship
Speaker 1: with the side on card and defiance and all of that,
Speaker 1: and there's just such great moments with those two they have.
Speaker 1: They have a scene where they both have sandwiches in
Speaker 1: front of them, and the thing that bothered me the
Speaker 1: most and not one of them to bite that damn
Speaker 1: sandwich fuckers.
Speaker 2: We always don't like when any actors don't eat.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Their whole storyline in this episode is that James is
Speaker 2: on the tail of Defiance and is sort of working
Speaker 2: with David Rosen and Cyrus to get him off. The
Speaker 2: scent is like, I got you your baby. We adopted
Speaker 2: a baby. He's like dangling the baby in front of
Speaker 2: James's face to make him stop. And Verna Thornton and
Speaker 2: Sally Langston have an amazing scene in this where Sally
Speaker 2: comes and figures out that Verna has terminal cancer. Yeah, like,
Speaker 2: I want your fucking seat on the bench.
Speaker 1: You want to to step off?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so much happens.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh my god.
Speaker 2: By the way, that's every Scandal episode in forty two minutes.
Speaker 2: The amount of plot. Yeah, had incredible writing that goes on.
Speaker 4: Is no wonder we're going at stand apace.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have to so insane.
Speaker 1: This is also the first time you see Huck have
Speaker 1: sex with with Becky.
Speaker 2: Yes, I was just going to say that. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: wrote Becky and Huck fuck on picks because they're sexces
Speaker 2: on top of all these photos.
Speaker 4: You want to know something, that's something I really love
Speaker 4: the way that was shot. Yeah, you're on top of
Speaker 4: all those pictures and they're laid out at like a rainbow,
Speaker 4: I mean, and have sex and roll all over these pictures.
Speaker 4: I thought that was really I thought that was a
Speaker 4: really neat scene.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jessica you, and Becky sort of saying I want
Speaker 2: to be with you, and Huck is saying, well, what's
Speaker 2: your name?
Speaker 1: And she what's your real name? Yeah, and she won't.
Speaker 2: Tell him, which means like she's being shady.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a tell for Huck, He's like, oh, you
Speaker 1: don't really love me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the episode ends. Verna goes to Sally and says,
Speaker 2: I'm not giving up my bench. I won't give up
Speaker 2: my seat on the bench, but I can give you
Speaker 2: the name of the man in the Red Hood who
Speaker 2: shot Fits. And then the swat team comes to Opa
Speaker 2: and takes drink under the Patriot Act. Yeah, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: it's a little bit time right now. Darbzy's for tweets
Speaker 2: of the time. Tweetetetweeteto, tweetoto, tweetwet two tweets of the time.
Speaker 2: Things were insane at dc PsyD on December fourteen, twenty twelve.
Speaker 2: Had to repost this and it's a picture. Chicks be like,
Speaker 2: I can't stand infidelity, but on Thursdays they'd be like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, because Scandal really made infidelity hot. I've never
Speaker 2: seen more fans be more into cheating and loving that
Speaker 2: Fits is just a cheating piece of shit?
Speaker 1: Yep, I remember Sue Tanner this this one gladiator. She's
Speaker 1: an old g gladiator. Yes, she tweeted at Scandal ABC.
Speaker 1: I hear there's a buve that will be going around
Speaker 1: in January. The Gladiator flew hashtag scandal, hashtag what the huck. Also,
Speaker 1: this is the episode where hashtag what the huck came
Speaker 1: into plate way.

Speaker 2: I actually walk away and it's actually Harrison who looks
Speaker 2: to you and says she's Quinn bitch.
Speaker 1: Oh.
