00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: lot of family and friends are coming by. We're up

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 2: in San Francisco where they live where I was born,

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: oh a few years ago. Yeah, remember last episode. I

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: think Chuck was there and he's like, we would be

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: writing and going, oh that's a Melrose moment.

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: This episode should be called Poor Allison, Bye Bye Billy

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: slash Poor Alison.

25
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, so bye bye, Billy it we'll do

26
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: a brief recap here. We open up on Marina del Rey,

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 2: which is our marina in La and it's on some

28
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 2: sail boats and beautiful water, and the camera pans up

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: this very fancy for nineteen ninety two, very modern high rise,

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: and then we cut inside and we have we see

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: these close ups of coffee being poured, toast being buttered,

32
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: flour putting in a vase, the paper being folded and

33
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: put it on a tray. So we don't know who

34
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: it is. But then we pull out and hands are

35
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: walking this tray and it's a who walks into or

36
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: opens her bedroom door and there is a naked Billy

37
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: in her bed. So they had a lovely evening and

38
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: she's just like adding tulips to coffee and toast and

39
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: she's in heaven. And so there they are getting frisky

40
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: again and she gets a call and it's her dad,

41
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: and her dad said he's coming to town. So she goes, oh, good,

42
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: this is a good chance for my dad to meet Billy,

43
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: my new boyfriend. But Billy says, well, no, I have

44
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: a plan to see a play with Alison. And she's

45
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: like oh, come on, nuzzles his neck, talks her out

46
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: of it, talks him out of to his previous commitment. Alison,

47
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: she is mugged when she's walking to her car at

48
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: night after the play. And a little aside behind the scenes,

49
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: that head the head thug guy who grabbed you and

50
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: pushes you against the fence. That's Lee Ehrenberg, who I

51
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: went to UCLA with and who's like the sweetest guy

52
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 2: ever meet, sweetest man. You remember, I do?

53
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: I remember?

54
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: Yes, he's the sweetest man, Lee Arenberg. He's done a

55
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: lot of work and he usually plays those kind of

56
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: characters because he has that kind of like menacing look,

57
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: but he's like a big teddy bear anyway. So that's

58
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: a very traumatic situation for Allison, and she continues to

59
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: have flashbacks and fear throughout the rest of the episode.

60
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: And it's Keith who is kind of there for her,

61
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: and Billy's not so much there for her. So you see,

62
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: with Keith in the picture and with this need that

63
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: she has, we see Billy kind of like, well, I

64
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: guess he has her. So he goes moves towards Amanda,

65
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: and then Allison sees that you know, well, he's at

66
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: Amanda's all the time, says to Keith, why don't you

67
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: want to move into my place? I don't want to

68
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: be alone. So she's very fragile now after this experience,

69
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: and she says, Billy's never there, so why don't you

70
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: move into the apartment and he says, well, of course,

71
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: he says, i'd look to. Simultaneously, we have Joe and

72
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: Jake are trying to navigate. He has the motorcycle shop now,

73
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: and she's trying to figure out how she can be

74
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: a partner not step on his toes, and we'll see

75
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: that kind of comes to a nice compromise at the end.

76
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: But she also tries to help her friend who's been

77
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: traumatized by this robbery and does it her way and

78
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: takes her to a shooting range and Alison will have

79
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: none of it, is freaked out by the guns, and

80
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: Joe's kind of gearly getting into it that Allison's like,

81
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: I'll be waiting in the car. I can't do this

82
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: gun thing. So that didn't work, and then Joe tells

83
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: Jake later that she has a gun and he's like,

84
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: you need to get rid of it. She will, And

85
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: then we also have Rnda and Terrence, and Terrence wants

86
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: to decorate this big mansion that he bought and it's like, oh,

87
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: you have to go meet the decorator that I hired.

88
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: And she's like okay, and she goes over to his

89
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: new mansion and it's none other than her old roommate,

90
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: Carrie aka Raydon Tong. He plays her again.

91
00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: That was fun.

92
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, c D crazy roommate and they have a whole

93
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: jealousy triangle that they'll have to work out. So this

94
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: really is about navigating the different pairings and of course

95
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 2: at the end everybody. We have the saddest scene in

96
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: cinematic history when Belly finds out that Keith has moved in.

97
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: So he figures, well, my time is here.

98
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 1: Second only to Casablanca, but serious second only.

99
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: Maybe yeah, maybe it was close, though it was close.

100
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 2: I don't know. If we're in the oscars, I don't know.

101
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: I think BILLI and Allison scene may have won, just.

102
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: Got nominated for very few oscars. I think we do

103
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: need to point there's a.

104
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 3: Couple of reasons for that. We can get into that

105
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: in a minute.

106
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 2: Well, now that we're streaming on Paramount Plus, we probably

107
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: would be eligible anyway. Uh, but yeah, that's a sad,

108
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: sad scene. So get your Kleenex and box of wine people,

109
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: because you're gonna need it.

110
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: Bye Bye Billy, Bye Bye Billy.

111
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 2: And so that's that's where we end the episode. And

112
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: I like we said, let's jump in.

113
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: What a great summary Daphne.

114
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 2: Nice and brief, but really well done, so everyone should

115
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: watch it. I just want to reminder.

116
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: I think I think the main point that we'd all

117
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: like to agree on is there was way too much

118
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: making out with Billy and Amanda. I think the main

119
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: point we want to make enough of that, am I right?

120
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: Enough of that right now?

121
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 4: I will say there there was less of it than

122
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 4: the last episode, which is much more of this.

123
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 1: Well I noticed the nuzzling, Yes, yeah, because it really

124
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: is slightly less pain for me, your only marker of success,

125
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: slightly less pain for me.

126
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 4: I'm just trying to break it to you that, yes,

127
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 4: there was the making out, but to be honest, it

128
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 4: was less than last episode. I'm still very sad for Alison,

129
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 4: because you know much I'm rooting for Alison, and I

130
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 4: am such a spectator in this in these episodes, like

131
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 4: when you say, Daphne that we hope people are watching

132
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 4: these old shows. It is so fun for me to

133
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 4: go back that I'm watching a show I never saw, right,

134
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 4: and so I'm truly an audience member in these first

135
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 4: in this first season, and so I'm getting invested in

136
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 4: these characters. And of course I'm rooting for my friends

137
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 4: Courtney and Daphney, but I'm really rooting for Alison during

138
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 4: this stretch of time where I.

139
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: Mean funny also watching that scene court you and I

140
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: was thinking, Wow, I'm really feeling like like I feel

141
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: so sad and that, and I was like, oh, they're

142
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: dating these she's they're using, they're using emotional connection and

143
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: probably and imagining like never saying like saying goodbye, like Billy,

144
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: You guys are both so good. Andrew was really good too.

145
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: I really felt it.

146
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: What a weird reality I was watching the What a

147
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: weird reality. We probably drove to work together. Then he

148
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: goes and makes that with Heather and I go mack.

149
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: Out with and then we.

150
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: Get back in the car, drive home, hopefully make out

151
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: with each other. Maybe we're just tired at that point.

152
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: And they were like, I've had about it.

153
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 4: You could reality that you can truly see in this

154
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 4: episode that Alison, the character is annoyed by Keith and

155
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 4: not really very warm and fuzzy. She's like talking herself,

156
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 4: and this is what I'm watching, and I'm the audience member,

157
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 4: so I'm like, this is just what I observe.

158
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: I see Alison not very.

159
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 4: Interested in Keith, and she's settling and she's just okay.

160
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 4: And then somehow he manages to like come be the

161
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 4: hero when she's in a dark and scary time in

162
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 4: her life and he happens to be there, and she's

163
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 4: just grateful for that presence, but it's.

164
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: Not really she doesn't really like him.

165
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: This is what I see.

166
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: And yet when.

167
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 4: She's with Billy, it's just warm and fuzzy and perfect

168
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 4: and you know, like there's chemistry and you like each

169
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 4: other and both and it's so sad to see the

170
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 4: relationship that they're not choosing to have be the one

171
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 4: that's so obviously better on screen.

172
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the first scene with Keith and Allison when

173
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm so far over to the side of the car,

174
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: I'm almost hanging out.

175
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 2: I look about to jump back. Is my car sick?

176
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: Like I literally look sick and so close and I'm like,

177
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: but am I really so close.

178
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: Like I was a good four feet away in a

179
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: car and you were.

180
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: The notes I made on that scene were that he

181
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: was harassing you for like and mocking you and teasing

182
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 2: you and being starcastic like, oh, we're just but buddies,

183
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: We're just pals, you know, and really, and I thought

184
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: that was so annoying, like mocking you and being sarcastic

185
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: because you want to go slowly and you're like, do

186
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: you not remember I don't trust you, because like he

187
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 2: never told you he was married before, but remember she

188
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: delivered okay, well do you what do you need the papers?

189
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: I'm divorced. I just thought he was yeah.

190
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 4: Well I think Allison was too, because all those lines

191
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 4: that she delivered in that scene were so were that

192
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 4: same level of annoyance.

193
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 2: Like yeah, he was like literally it did feel like

194
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: it was going like this, and then this trauma happens

195
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: to Alison, and so then he's there to save her.

196
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: Doesn't it there for her? Over and over?

197
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 4: Doesn't it make you sort of wonder like did Keith

198
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 4: somehow orches straight all this to su I mean, there's

199
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 4: no spoilers here because I don't know where this is going.

200
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: This is just.

201
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: Because he does loan her his car car. She says

202
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: she needs to feel like it's not that I really care.

203
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: I just my car's in the shop. Like I don't

204
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: care that you're not going to play with me my cars.

205
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 4: Right, I'm fine going alone. So he knows she's going alone.

206
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 4: He's she's in the borrowed car and you know, going

207
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 4: to the theater district and and all this stuff, and

208
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 4: like just conveniently he's there when she's going down into

209
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 4: the scary laundry room too, like when she thought the

210
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 4: lights burned out? Is that so is that just a coincidence?

211
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 4: Or to watch this is my this is my weariness

212
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 4: level of Keith. I don't trust him at all. I

213
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 4: don't like him at all. And Chuck said very clearly

214
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 4: they needed a villain, they needed a conflict, and like villain.

215
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: Is Keith villain? Definitely?

216
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 4: I see him as villain, even though you know they're

217
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 4: painting it like, oh, this is a relationship for Alison

218
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 4: as an audience member.

219
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: Well, I'm taking it very personally. How on Alison's side

220
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: you both are? It really feels like that great conversation,

221
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: like he's the worst, you're the best. So we really

222
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: appreciate it as a I really appreciate the conversation.

223
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: But you guys, the writers aren't dumb what you're feeling, Laura,

224
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: as an audience member, as you say, I am two,

225
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: we're all feeling it. I think they you know, they

226
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 2: have specific lines and they're writing it in there. It's

227
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: in there.

228
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.

229
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 4: So we got to see why well be revealed. You

230
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 4: sound like you know where it's going. I don't, and

231
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 4: so I'm super excited. I find out this is just what.

232
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 2: I thought I knew.

233
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: But I forgot this. So Alison goes to play gets mugged.

234
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: That scene was terrifying. I completely forgot it. I sort

235
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: of remembered it after, but like hanging on the fence

236
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: and crying like I didn't remember that at all.

237
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 4: You know, they grab her, they grab her purse and

238
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 4: take the key and.

239
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: And then he takes you by that back of your

240
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: head and over to the.

241
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 4: Yes, shoves your face into the fence. It's it's terrifying,

242
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 4: totally trauma.

243
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: Makes me wonder if Keith set it up, because you're

244
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: absolutely right, He's there for every moment, and it felt

245
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: like the Lee Ehrenberg character made it extra scary for

246
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: you to make a bully, and I do remember that.

247
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,359
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I just saw Lee rewatching Seinfeld

248
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: for the thousands time and he has, remember, has that

249
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: fight with Kramer over the parking space. So if people

250
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: don't remember who he is, the guy who's arguing with

251
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: Kramer over the parking space.

252
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: He was amazing in that too.

253
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: But I do remember how incredibly sweet he was, which

254
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: is great because it was really scary. But so often

255
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: don't you find those guys who played that have guys

256
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: are the sweetest guys?

257
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the sweeting you in between. Yes, you have

258
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: to practice, you know, you have to go over the

259
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: blocking and stuff.

260
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: But I was surprised, like she couldn't get her key.

261
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: I just assumed watching it that she would get her

262
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: key in time and go in the car. I was

263
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: just as shocked as you or Laura having seen her

264
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: for the first time when she got grabbed and really scary.

265
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,479
Speaker 4: And it was shot in that way that's really startling

266
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: and frightening, like that tone in Melrose's place. We're going

267
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 4: to see it in subsequent seasons, like it's going to

268
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 4: come up a lot. I think a lot of you know, traumatizing,

269
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 4: scary stuff happens, especially to the women, as we know.

270
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 4: But I think this is kind of you know, although

271
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 4: Billy was he had his car, you know, beating attack

272
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 4: thingy too. This is a really scary, like the music

273
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 4: is scary. It continues through the episode with the laundry

274
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 4: room and she's going down and she's really fearful, and

275
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 4: just the tone of everything about the show, with the

276
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 4: music and.

277
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: Also the camera shots. I mean, no, forget that's Victoria Hope.

278
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 2: She's so good at bringing out the emotion. And I

279
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: think she uses like steady cam or handheld a lot,

280
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: so that when you use steadycam or handheld, it's not

281
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: like locked off on a tripod. You feel vulnerable because

282
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 2: it's moving with you. There's no That's what I felt

283
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: in that scene. And also down in the laundry room,

284
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: there's movement to it, so there's this like creeping feeling

285
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: as well.

286
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: And also it's always scary to go down into a

287
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: dark laundry room, right like go down into your basement,

288
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: go down into a dark laundry room.

289
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: But didn't you think so?

290
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: So Alison goes down into the dark laundry room. The

291
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: lights are out, she hears a noise. Keith comes down,

292
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: of course her savior. She says, I'm so scared. I'm

293
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: so scared, And I literally said, what about your laundry?

294
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 4: Like, didn't we start to You're going to help you

295
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 4: with your laundry, right, I can't I just.

296
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 3: Abandons the load of laundry.

297
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: Well, I'm thinking, yeah, you're traumatized, and why would you

298
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: go down in that moment. I'm trying to imagine it

299
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: will maybe if I go down in the launderroom and

300
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 2: I'll feel better if I do my laundry right now.

301
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: Well that'd be like in bed.

302
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say forget it. I can do laundry

303
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 4: tomorrow on the light day. But she must have clearly

304
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 4: known there's like another light switch at the bottom of

305
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 4: the stairs, very conveniently, so I'll just like bravely venture

306
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 4: down and hit this southern light switch.

307
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's trying to be brave. There's a line like

308
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: later on which just got me. It made me laugh.

309
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: Start when when Keith says, and I wrote here, Keith

310
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: is very sweet and thoughtful post mugging. I'm almost rooting

311
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: for him, like he's saying all the right things.

312
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: He actually said.

313
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: Don't worry about being strong, being brave. Let me be

314
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: all those things for you, at least for tonight. Then

315
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to hit him because I was like,

316
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: that's really taking advantage of Alison's vulnerability, yeah, and.

317
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 4: Trying to pat himself on the back. I will shoulder

318
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 4: this all for you.

319
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: But he did say the right things right like he

320
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: said it was so scary, don't worry about the car.

321
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: Like he really did say all the right things. So

322
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: I understood.

323
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: Why.

324
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: Oh, and how about that scene when so it's post mugging,

325
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: it's the next morning and Alison and Keith are holding

326
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: hands in the doorway and Billy comes in and he

327
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: has no id to what happened. He's just coming and

328
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: apologizing for the play, and he says, how is the play?

329
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: And Allison goes, I don't remember. It all kind of

330
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: slipped my mind once I got carjacked, and I was like, oh,

331
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: she's a master of passive aggression. And then and then

332
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: she walks up and she and he goes, I didn't hear.

333
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: She goes, I tried to reach you, and plays the

334
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: message and she's sobbing and saying, basically, I've just been

335
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: attacked and enjoyed there for me.

336
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: She says, listen to it for yourself, and she leaves

337
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: with Keith and he's living listening. Poor Billy's by himself,

338
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 2: hearing you don't traumatize. Yes, He's like, what did I do? Yeah? Yeah, yeah?

339
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 4: And then you know, alongside this, Billy's navigating his thing

340
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 4: with Amanda, Who's who's really catching on that he's preoccupied

341
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 4: with his feelings about Alison and stuff. And she's going,

342
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 4: you know, you don't seem like somebody who just thinks

343
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 4: of her as a friend. You seem to be thinking

344
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 4: of her an awful lot, you know, this guilt over

345
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 4: her not being there for her.

346
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: And how about that shot when when they're in the

347
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: sculpture garden, which sculpture garden that's kind of cool from

348
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,479
Speaker 1: place is that?

349
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: And I come in and it's this naked.

350
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: Torso of this woman in bronze and we're driving in

351
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: and she's talking, we're driving in. The shot is coming

352
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: in and you see them coming up in the background.

353
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: And did you notice in this scene she says someone

354
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: who loves you?

355
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

356
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: Do we know that they love each other? Have they

357
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: said the L word yet?

358
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 4: That came out and even Billy didn't say anything about it,

359
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 4: and we're going, excuse me, is that is that a

360
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 4: thing we.

361
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: Missast moving fast?

362
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know that was the elder.

363
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: And even and before that when he meets the dad,

364
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: what about that scene that was hilarious, Like Amanda's father

365
00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: is teaching Billy the things about whiskey scotch, whiskey scotch, and.

366
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 3: He's like, well, I drink beer and I'm a camp driver.

367
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 2: And I'm like wrong. Thing he wasn't.

368
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 3: He wasn't trying very hard to make a good impression.

369
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 2: I don't think he knew how to be honest. Yeah,

370
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: he was like, well i'd drive out, well, I like beer.

371
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: I thought he was being so sweet, like he wasn't

372
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: putting on airs.

373
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 4: I just think it was he like didn't care to

374
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 4: impress him. He was like not going to.

375
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: Try, well that was that would be dumb. I think

376
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: so too dumb.

377
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 3: I think so true.

378
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 2: Like Amanda, You've just said, You're like it's like dumb,

379
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: like do something. Isn't he smarter?

380
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 4: But like, I don't know, just he was a little

381
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 4: bit like almost defiantly sort of challenging Amanda's dad and

382
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 4: I don't like I don't like Scotch.

383
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 3: I'm a beer drinker.

384
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 4: Like that is kind of dumb if you're gonna try

385
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 4: to make a good impression. So I conclude, well, then

386
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 4: he just wasn't trying, because.

387
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 2: So I'm going to bring this back to me again.

388
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 2: I just realized. Yesterday after saying hi to the baby,

389
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 2: David and I went to One A Vista, which is

390
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: a famous Irish pub here in San Francisco next to

391
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 2: Giadelli Square. It's where Herbcane went all these writers. And

392
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 2: I had an Irish coffee Irish whiskey, and David had

393
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: a Guinness so beer drinker Irish And then I looked

394
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 2: the clock. It was like eleven am.

395
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 3: He'd probably been up for hours.

396
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: We've been up for hours watching over the baby. It's

397
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 2: so exhausted. It's five o'clock summer. He goes so meanly.

398
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 2: Her dad goes to her asa as an aside in

399
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 2: the kitchen and says, like, we'll see how long this lies.

400
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's not for you. Wayne Tippit is the actor

401
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 4: who plays Amanda's dad. He's so great and yeah he's.

402
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: Great another millions and everything.

403
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just he was perfect but it.

404
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: Does feel early, like I know we snuck in that

405
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: Amanda loves Billy, but it does feel early for him

406
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: to meet her dad right, like, So it's all happening

407
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: very very fast, that that real ship is taking off.

408
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: Billy and Alison and Keith are moving quickly because of

409
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: her trauma.

410
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 4: And by the end of the episode, she's going to

411
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 4: suggest he moves in. Yeah, it's moving fast. Yes, you know,

412
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 4: we don't talk about the L word, but we're also

413
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 4: moving in together super fast.

414
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 2: Well I feel like, yeah, I don't know, And it

415
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: feels doesn't it feel like driven by Amanda this close

416
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: close close? Doesn't it feel like she's like I want

417
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 2: him and doesn't feel like it's so pushed and initiated

418
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 2: by Billy. Yeah, it feels like, yes, okay, Well she's gorgeous. Yes,

419
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: I dig this, and my roommate slash woman that I

420
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 2: really love is you know, back in Keith's life.

421
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: So also, she's so seductive, like you said, Daphnie started

422
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: off with her making a breakfast in bed. She's so

423
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: gorgeous obviously, and she's more sure than it doesn't.

424
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 2: Look it like.

425
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: Remember you know, Heather said she felt old coming on

426
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: the show. She doesn't look any older than anybody else,

427
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: but she definitely is more sophisticated. He looks like an

428
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: axe like boy next to her, so I think he

429
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: just sort of is letting her lead the way. Who

430
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't like on who could say no to her. I'll

431
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: be like, so beautiful, I'll do this.

432
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 2: Sure he's not. You're right, she is in spite of

433
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 2: how he was.

434
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 4: But she was driving that and saying all right, we're

435
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 4: in this, I love you and you.

436
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: Should move in, and you know that was What do

437
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: you think is the competition for her? Like how much

438
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: of it is stealing Billy from Allison?

439
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 2: Or am I sort of looking into the future. But

440
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: I think you're looking like you're projecting. Yeah, I think you,

441
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: Allison are projecting.

442
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: Your lines are really blurred for someone Alison does it

443
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: like Andrew Billy, Amanda, Heather Courtney, Elison.

444
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 3: Courtney's really offended by this whole thing.

445
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 2: For Alison, I do think there's touches of that those

446
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 2: Melrose moments where she's like, well, you know, kind of

447
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 2: gives them ultimatums and nuzzles Isna and like, you know,

448
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: I'll take you away from her. But I don't think

449
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: it's fully that. I think she really digs them from

450
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: the very first episode, way back on what twenty one twelve.

451
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: Well, they had more of this, like this scene and

452
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: you pointed out, Daphne, I'm still mad at you for

453
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: it when they're ice skating and it's so sweet and

454
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: you're kind of rooting for them, Still mad at you

455
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: for it. But in this one, they're walking down, you're

456
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: getting a hot dog and a dirty dog.

457
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 2: A dirty dog.

458
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: Heah, there's dirty others in her, like really fitted sexy plaid.

459
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: So here's the dichotomy, a clothing dichotomy.

460
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: She's got this.

461
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: Sexy red plaid suit with a half jacket and a

462
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: tight skirt, and I've got this huge plaid jacket. I

463
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: remember that jacket though, and I remember thinking it was

464
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: so cool because had huge shoulder pads that sort of

465
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: hung halfway down my arm.

466
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was like an ll bean or whatever

467
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 2: you like, you know what.

468
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: I think it was now that we're talking about it.

469
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: And I literally had a vague memory of this. It

470
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: was because I was so scared. Yeah, I think I

471
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: kept that jacket.

472
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 2: You're still wearing it, come on now. It was a

473
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: scene daft.

474
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: You know, this was a scene between you and me

475
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: when I'm folding sheets.

476
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 4: I thought the same thing, like did she just come

477
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 4: over and like you happen to be folding laundry at

478
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 4: the times they're like, hey, help me fold this laundry

479
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 4: and let's chat.

480
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: But doesn't it look like I'm folding up like a

481
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: bed that had been on the couch.

482
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: It was very confusing to me.

483
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 4: It was like you folded or you were just folding

484
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 4: the laundry in the living And.

485
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,560

486
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 2: in our podcast, like well, what can she be doing?

487
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,119

Speaker 2: tied it into the laundry scene earlier episode No, right.

493
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe or maybe that's what it was and we

494
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 4: didn't get it.

495
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 2: Oh she didn't get it.

496
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,800

498
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: funny because watching it, I didn't at all get what

00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: you guys were talking about about him taking advantage of.

500
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: Her in her moment of need. Now I'm furious.

501
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm furious now what happened. I'm so angry that he

502
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: took advantage of her because he did. It was right

503
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: after that I'll be brave for you that they fell

504
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: into bed, and then she's all perky and saying, we

Speaker 2: You know, we're going to go shoot my SIGs hour.

509
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 4: I also thought it was sort of funny, like Joe

510
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 4: was being like, oh, I know how that feels. That's

511
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 4: happened to me, Like, oh, yeah, it happened to me

512
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 4: in New York.

513
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 3: I just, you know, have an evil access in New York.

514
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: She did say that, you're right, I've been mugged. Yeah,

515
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 2: I got this.

516
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 4: Oh well, yeah, I have an idea. Come on, I

517
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 4: know you're scared to go out of the house right

518
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 4: now and you're not going to work, but come on,

519
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 4: let's go.

520
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 3: Let's leave the house.

521
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, And didn't you think it was interesting that Jake

522
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: was so anti gun. So Jake finds out that Joe

523
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: has a gun at home and he does this, He

524
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: just rails on it, talking about his friends who had

525
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: guns and.

526
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 2: They ended up shooting each other.

527
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: I thought that was a nice anti gun message in

528
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: the middle of Melrose Place.

529
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a very like, very clear conversation between

530
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 3: the two characters. That whole scene with Jake.

531
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 4: And Joe is so sweet because their storyline like refers

532
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 4: to the previous episode where Joe had sort of he

533
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 4: had said to her, you are silent partner, right, and

534
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 4: so all throughout this one when they're having this thread

535
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 4: continue where he's saying, this is my business, you're the

536
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 4: silent partner.

537
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 3: Stopped telling me.

538
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 4: What to do, and by the end he is She

539
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 4: gives the hey, I'm done with the gun, and he gives, hey,

540
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 4: I'm giving you the books, and like they like both.

541
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 3: Share this do the money part yeah for each other.

542
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 4: And it's such a sweet scene with the with the

543
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 4: gift that Daphne or not that Daphne that Joe brings

544
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 4: for Ja very blurry.

545
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: The gift that Joe, You're so confused.

546
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 2: It's just because we're middle aged brain now.

547
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: But Dap, who is the transper guy we saw at

548
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: the window. He used to go on those magical motorcycle

549
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: rides with all of you guys.

550
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what he was the best I am. Yeah

551
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 2: he was a few times. Yeah, Yeah. I liked how

552
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 2: in the beginning when Joe brings up, you know, I

553
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 2: noticed your business and I'm the silent. You just want

554
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 2: my money and I'm your investor. So she's trying to

555
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: figure out but she has ideas and stuff, and he's

556
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 2: so testy, what do you mean you don't think I

557
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: can do the money myself. Let's just say it. You

558
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 2: don't think I can run this business by myself. And

559
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 2: then by the end they both give in. She's very

560
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 2: testy when she's defending having a gun and he's like,

561
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 2: you got to get rid of that. I you know,

562
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 2: my friend died in my arms with the gun that

563
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: he had, so anyway, it was very I like at

564
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 2: the end they both compromised. The only way you can

565
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 2: move to the middle, and they did with that wonderfully

566
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: melrose Place moment of the neon sign that she brings

567
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 2: to him that says Jake's place, and they do that

568
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: silhouetted kiss in front of it, and it says Jake's place,

569
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 2: and it's just this beautiful Okay, for now they're coming together.

570
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 2: It's a good game.

571
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: You finally gissed. You guys did a lot less making

572
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: out in this story. Yeah, so we haven't talked yet

573
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: about Karen's and Rondo, which is great for comic relief.

574
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 4: That whole storyline. When I saw ray dun Chong's name

575
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 4: in the credit, so I was like, oh, and I

576
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 4: totally understood when Ronda's character says, wait, you haven't told

577
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 4: me what your decorator's name was that you want me

578
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 4: to meet with, and then you're.

579
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 2: Like, I can tell you.

580
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: And it was such a good balance right to these

581
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: sort of heavy storylines, especially the poor Alison storyline, So

582
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: they're so light and funny, and raydon Chong is so

583
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: hilarious and Vanessa does such a great job playing along

584
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: with it. Meanwhile, we've got the storyline with Keith and

585
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: Allison and Billy where Alison finally asked Keith to move

586
00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 1: in and then Billy decides to move in with Amanda. Yeah,

587
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: and then we have that sad scene at the end.

588
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 2: That lasted forever and it was so sad.

589
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: Just on Alison being sad, and then she wait a minute, Billy,

590
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: and then she goes, do you want your coffee maker?

591
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 2: And we're like, no, Oh. It wasn't just sad because

592
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 2: of the writing. It was as sad because of the shots,

593
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: because she kept turning around and doing close ups on

594
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 2: you and Courtney, you were so real and so just there.

595
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 2: And I just saw she's using, that's really my boyfriend

596
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 2: and I'm never going to see him again. You were

597
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 2: just like and tears were coming in him and then

598
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 2: they cut to him and little Andrew slash Billy was

599
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 2: just like, oh, I don't need the coffee maker. Amanda

600
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: has a big german one gives you everything. Oh.

601
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: And then he says, right before this last scene, she's like, wait,

602
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: where are you going? And he goes, it's not as

603
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: if we thought we were going to spend the rest

604
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: of our lives together.

605
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 2: And I was like, but we did. We did. It's

606
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,240

Speaker 3: You guys were both so good in that scene.

00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: you and you're going bye, and he's like.

622
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: He decides to give me hugs and you're like, I know,

623
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: he gives me a kiss on the cheek and like

624
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: it's almost a kiss. I thought at first when he

625
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: leaned in, I thought he's gonna kiss her me and

626
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: then this is what life is bloring again, And then

627
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: he didn't. It was a kiss on the cheek and

628
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: a hug, and it's like, oh.

629
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 2: And all we the audience are going, oh, she's left

630
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 2: there with what's his name exactly? Yeah, it was wanting

631
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 2: to seattle the very end. He's like, come on, at

632
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 2: least look at the you know, check out the things

633
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 2: of pamphlets. And please just consider it, and.

634
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: You thought about it till right now. But all through

635
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: it she's saying, I don't know if I'm brave enough

636
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: to live and work in la anymore. So that's also

637
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: working with him saying you want to go to Seattle.

638
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: So there's a very good chance.

639
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 4: And she's got her gonna move walking out the door.

640
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 4: She no longer has a roommate, so yeah, I don't

641
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 4: pay through the end, John, it's a good option to

642
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 4: come in and be her roommate.

643
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: This should have been the cliffhanger. And you know what,

644
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: episode twenty four was probably supposed to be the last episode,

645
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: but then they kept asking episod ten.

646
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 2: You're obsessed with how bad the ratings were, and she

647
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 2: thinks every episode we were off air, so this was

648
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 2: probably it.

649
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: Well, but twenty four would have been. We did twenty

650
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: two then, so twenty four would have been a lot.

651
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: So my guess is this was where they were. This

652
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: was probably going to be the cliffhanger, but then they

653
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: kept adding because the ratings were getting higher and higher.

654
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 3: Maybe well a lot happened in this one, for sure.

655
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 4: We've got Bill out into Amanda's apartment, Allison's on the

656
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 4: verge of considering if she's going to leave for Seattle.

657
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 4: We didn't see Michael and Jane at all. We saw

658
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 4: Matt for a beat as he's giving advice to Ronda.

659
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: And there and he was also cleaning the pool.

660
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 3: And Matt was cleaning the boot was mad that mad.

661
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 4: I don't think that was Matt. I think that was

662
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 4: unnamed pool cleaner guy.

663
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 2: I think pulled around and seen.

664
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, they would like he was being paid for the episodes.

665
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 4: They might as well have used his face.

666
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: He was actually cleaning the pool. TV money clean the pool.

667
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 4: He was just there at work a scene in a

668
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 4: pool duty for you, Doug. You know I'm not doing

Speaker 2: I'm here all day, my trailer.

674
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: No, I know we have to end. But one quick question,

675
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: Laura U. Did you and Doug ever have a scene

676
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: together where you're just ever on the show where you're

Speaker 2: Okay, oh good, I'm exciting.

680
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't know episode I couldn't imagine how Sydney and

681
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: Doug would have a conversation there.

682
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: There are some scenes with Sydney and Matt group scenes.

683
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 2: We're all in group seas together. Something happened somewhere along
