WEBVTT - "Ladies, seamen, 12 o’clock!" with Mark Decklin... (S5 E1 "Anchors Away") 0:00:01.600 --> 0:00:04.880 Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know are 0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:10.639 you a Charlotte? Welcome back, everybody to Are You a Charlotte? 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:15.360 Part two? This is Mark Decklin. Everybody, He's great. Let's 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:18.080 go over our details. Now we're doing Anchors Away, which 0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:21.360 was a very big episode. It was it's episode the 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:24.640 beginning of the fifth season. It's directed by Charles McDougall, 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:28.400 one of my all time favorite directors, written by Michael Patrick. 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.880 And this is when we had Daniel sin Chada, who 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:34.000 I'd forgotten about, but he is so great and I 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:36.080 think you this was like the beginning of his career. 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:38.440 Yeah. No, we were both just like young New York 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.160 actors who were just like we were excited. We're like, yay, 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:42.760 we get to be guest stars on this hit show. 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:47.360 Nice yeah, nice? Nice. So we okay, do you watch 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:49.720 the episode? Can you talk to me about Carrie? 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:50.760 Oh Carrie? 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:51.040 Yeah? 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:52.519 Yeah, yea yeah, what do you mean can I talk 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:53.040 to you about it? 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:55.440 I'm just wondering as a straight guy, I love to 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.560 have straight guys on the recap because I want to 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.800 know your thoughts and feelings about like, for instance, Charlotte 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.800 has this whole great love theory, right, that comes out 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.640 in the coffee shop. It's you know, classic classic are 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:08.920 show's writing like the you know, the big ideas come 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.200 out and then Carrie eventually is going to go home 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.440 and you know, write about them and wonder in her 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.760 way that she does. But I'd love to hear men's 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:17.200 point of view about the whole thing. 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.200 So you're asking my point of view about is there 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.080 one great love? No, I think, I mean, I think 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.080 I suspect there are limited great loves me too in 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.440 our life. Yes, I don't think the possibilities are infinite. 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.880 Me me as well. Yes, agree totally. 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.280 When you find that great love, you should cherish. 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:38.080 It, but definitely, But I don't can't one, right, I 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.640 do think there's sometimes people might find a great love 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:45.039 and then not be able to like fully be. 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:50.520 There because we're human. Yeah, so yeah, I mean, you 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.240 know I can look back I you know, I mean, 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.720 ultimately I got married and had kids and I'm very 0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:00.800 happy and it's wonderful. But you know, I have girlfriends 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.000 I can look back on and say she could have 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.600 been like that could have gone somewhere, but you know, 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.440 I wasn't ready, or maybe she wasn't ready. More often 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:09.240 than not, it was probably me. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.800 I mean, look, I have the same absolutely, but I 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:16.680 also feel like there were times when everyone thought like, 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.720 oh that person no, no, no, could have been that that 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.239 was like the person you should have tried to be with. No, 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:24.760 you know what I'm saying, Like it also could be no. 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:29.560 Oh, there are more nos than yesterday. Totally auditioning, right, 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:30.840 there's way more nose than yes. 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:32.600 Yes, yes, definitely, you know. 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.520 I look back and I'm not going to go into stories, 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.200 but like, there were women I dated where I was 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:38.239 like on paper. 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.360 She was perfect, there was nothing wrong with her. 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.920 On like if I got the idea of dating. Now, listen, 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:46.760 I've been married for twenty years, so the idea of 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.000 dating is horrific to me. 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.360 I know, I'm single, and the idea of dating is 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.120 also you. 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.480 Know, but I get the notion of like this electronic dating, 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.880 which I've never done, but the idea of like swiping 0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:59.840 and get seeing in advance. Oh we have this and 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:00.920 this is cool. 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:02.720 I don't get it. It's not accurate, but. 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:04.960 On right, well, a lot of people lie. But also 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.440 someone can be perfect on paper, but it doesn't matter. 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.880 Absolutely absolutely, I mean, it is a crazy time, right, 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:13.919 But what I love and this is the thing when 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:17.440 I rewatch our show from this perspective of now, when 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.640 you're talking about dating and relationships, like there is just 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:25.799 endless It is endlessly fascinating. Like I mean, I love 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:27.399 our show, and there's so many things I love about 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:31.720 our show. The friendship's absolutely the voiceover, the you know who, 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.640 the shoes, but the shoes, no, see the shoes. 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:34.720 No. 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.000 I have to disagree because this is what happened in 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:41.320 my mind. The fashion was always next level and that 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.640 was on purpose, right, Like Pat was brought in by 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.640 Sara Jessica because Sir Jessica didn't want it to be 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.520 like regular TV fashion, which was not really fashion, right, 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.800 And they did elevate to a really intense level. But 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:57.160 what I remember happening probably somewhat around this time that 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:01.040 we're watching, right, fifth season six season the end, it 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.480 became louder in a way than the writing. Yeah, and 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.680 I thought that was wrong, right, Like you wouldn't care 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.120 if we were just like walking across the screen saying 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.920 uninteresting words. You wouldn't care about the shoes. We weren't 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:15.560 there to sell shoes. 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.919 But that is human nature, right, Things get molified. 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:19.360 Yeah, I guess. 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.840 So one of the things people liked was, oh, look 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.440 at the fashion. I would say, I hate to stereotype, 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.159 but I would say women and gay men more than 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.880 straight men. But there was but we all recognized that 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.040 it was like a high fashion show, and I think 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.080 there were people who did latch onto that, and. 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.880 There were definitely oh it's not a debate, absolutely, what 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.640 are you going to do? Absolutely? I think the thing 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:39.960 that was hard for me was that there was a 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.720 moment in time where it seemed like that was our 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.719 purpose kind of right, and that was never our purpose. 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.080 My god, Like we could have just done a photo 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:49.440 shoot or something. I don't know, you do, known't what 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:55.000 I'm saying. It just seemed like like, you know, kind 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.360 of a misrepresentation of what we were about, you know 0:04:58.440 --> 0:04:58.800 what I mean. 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.600 Yeah, but aren't we always subject to that? 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.400 I guess so in capitalism, yeah, you know, right, Like 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.680 we live in capitalism, that's for sure. So it did 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:12.600 like take on a really weird kind of other life. Yeah, yeah, 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.080 kind of around this time for sure. It seemed like 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.760 we were there for product placement. No, we were just 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.559 wearing all the things that seemed like what Carrie would 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:24.120 be wearing, and Charlotte everybody else obviously like no one 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.400 Manolo never paid us. You don't what I'm trying to say, 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.480 Jimmy Choe never paid us, but it seemed like they had, 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.880 Like it got so loud, but then it seemed just weird. 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.000 I remember just feeling like woul everyone stopped talking about 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.200 the damn shoes, you know what I mean? Yeah, Like, 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:38.960 would you care about the shoes if we weren't saying 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.560 something interesting? I don't think so, you know it's you know, 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:42.040 just the. 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:45.279 Other day, yeah, because I remember there was a shot 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.200 I think in this episode, and we had the shot 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.400 a lot of like, you know, somebody's beautiful lubatons or 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:51.960 whatever in a puddle. 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:52.480 Yeah. 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.560 Right, And someone was just telling me the other day, 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.240 you know why high heels were invented? 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:56.560 What? 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.839 Because of puddles? Because of sewage in the streets. Wow, 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.160 So the rich people sort of element. 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.280 That is funny. I did not know that. That makes sense. 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:04.760 I like that. 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.640 See that kind of brings it all back in a 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.160 historical setting. I like that very much. Okay, let's talk 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.240 about Gary because this what's interesting to me is that 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.360 this is one of those episodes where Big and Aiden 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.600 are not there, right, and for. 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.360 Me we talked about there but. 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.560 Definitely but meaning they're not they're not like she's not 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.039 with either of them. That's my point. And I think 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.039 it's interesting to watch how many times because now that 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.480 I'm rewatching, I didn't really remember this so much, right, Like, 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.080 how many times she's single again? And they have to 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:37.280 go back there and make it like interesting and connected 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.039 in the way that women's lives, like like we're going 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:41.719 through different things, we're going through different things, and then 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:43.640 we're single again, and what do we do with that? Right? 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.640 And I love when they do that. It's interesting because 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:48.640 how has she grown? How is she not grown? Because 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.600 obviously Carrie's not a perfect character. Thank God. I know 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:53.640 there are people out there who hate her. My Instagram 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:55.960 shows me every day, but I love her very much. 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:58.560 Oh I hate an envy. 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.080 It's hate an envy. Do feed the algorithm in? 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.360 Absolutely? Yes? Oh it's disgusting. Yes. As the dad of 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.800 a daughter, I'm like, I hate it. 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:11.720 It's hard to navigate for the children, for sure, but 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.560 luckily most of our listeners are not children, so we're 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.520 not going to worry about that. Exactly, But I mean 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:18.840 it is really interesting the negative. And I think that's 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.680 important to remember is that there's positive out there, but 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.680 the algorithm isn't grabbing onto it. 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:24.600 That's not clickbait. 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.960 No, it's not clickbait, right, But we can create our 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:32.920 own positive, right, like we live dystopia, absolutely absolutely, and 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:34.920 that's what we're doing here. We we don't. We don't 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.600 dig into the negative here. And are you a Charlotte 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.200 because why why? 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.120 Because there's enough of it. There's enough of that, you know, 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.440 And it's not that we're Pollyanna, right, it's not. You're not. 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.240 You're not naive. No, you know, the world can be shy. 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:48.600 I do, but like why. 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:49.040 Wallow in that? 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:50.560 No? I don't want to wallow in it, and I'm 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.800 not interested in that part I I I. Well, yeah, 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.720 so anyway, we're back to our show. Our show is interestingly, 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:02.760 you know, it's like she carries out in the rain 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:07.200 and she gets trapped with this guy, and I know 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.400 she rambles about how if they were in a movie, 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.560 they would fall in love and get married. So true, right, 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.600 so true? And I think this is also what I 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.120 think is interesting, is the show goes on. I can 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.760 see Michael writing into it criticisms of our show, right, 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.240 So like there were people at this point going like, well, 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.960 that's not the real New York, right, Like you guys 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:31.560 are you know, like sanitized, glamorized rendition. So he's kind 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.480 of talking about that in a way. Carrie's talking about 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.920 that because Carrie's a writer and she's always thinking about things. 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.320 It makes perfect sense. She's going awareness exactly and like 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.760 layers like it's very meta, you know what I mean. 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.199 And so we're in he shows and she's saying, if 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.040 this were a movie, which people are claiming we're what 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:52.880 we're like right, that we're fake, right ish whatever, glamorized. 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.920 She could say, if this and the scene we would 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:55.520 fall in love. 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.040 Well that would be weird. But he comes as close 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.439 as he can without breaking the fourth wall because at 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:01.760 that point, you know, Michael had been one of the 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:03.760 ones who really wanted to stop talking to the camera, 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.760 which he has talked about, yeah, because because it breaks 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:10.720 the fourth wall in a way that then distracts you 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.040 from the actual stories. You know that he wanted you 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.600 to be in the stories with us, right, And I 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.560 think he's absolutely right and succeeded. So this is like, 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:23.600 walks close to breaking that wall but doesn't. But I 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.719 think it's just so great, right and then and then 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:30.080 the guy of course is like, you're crazy, right, But 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.280 it's also raining, but she's still her glamourself, you know 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.240 what I mean. She's running through the rain and doing 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.720 all of her cute carry things, but it is raining. 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:39.959 Like I love that, you know. I love how it looks. 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:41.880 I love the it's a little dirty, which. 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.080 Is totally New York, especially back then. 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.200 Well, I always looked like like the first snowfall and 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:53.000 Manhattan is the most magical thing and it's it's magic. 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:57.800 It is, and by the next day it's horrible great exactly, yeah, yep, yep, yeah, 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.679 so true, so true. And also it was probably really cold, 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:02.720 though maybe it was hot, as you say, I don't know. 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:04.240 No, I think I was just sweat. 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.120 You were. You were in a situation which is very 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.120 cool to think about, I mean, not cool to. 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.440 Be in col I mean it's funny in retrospect, it's funny, 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:22.480 but it was not funny. 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.800 Okay. So then she's waiting for a taxi. I also 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.319 love like the taxi. I feel like the taxi life 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.160 gets like more so as time goes on, and then 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.400 at the beginning of the sixth season, she's trying to 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.000 get a cap, she can't get a cap, she gets 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:37.440 a capt she gets stuck in traffic, and then she 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.240 gets out and gets on the subway. I love all that, 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.400 like putting the the New York in like you know 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:44.760 what I mean, and also because we are so kind 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.319 of beautifully dressed that but that is the way you 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.720 can be beautifully dressed in New York. Things can still 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.080 not go your way, absolutely, and you gotta you gotta change. 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.080 To New Yorker. Is that you can deal with it. 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.560 Yes, you're gonna figure out. 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:01.040 And you wobble and then you course correct. 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.760 Exactly exactly, which I love. 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:03.120 I love. 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.719 I feel like I also think because the show is 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:09.800 a success now, it's interesting as opposed to say, first season, 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:13.000 second season right where we're just kind of like on 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.040 our own, we don't really even know if people are 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.040 going to watch. But now we've got the success. We've 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.360 got the budget is bigger, we've got the costumes, people 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:20.080 are lending us. 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:21.880 Close, we got a rhythm, The show has a vibe. 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.720 Oh definitely riff on most definitely, most definitely. But I 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.160 love to see the development of its interesting and you 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.600 can feel it to me, and I guess it's also 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.760 relating to nine to eleven, right, and that the city 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.960 and the world that we're living in is so different now. 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.720 But when we come back, there's a depth. There's an interesting, 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:39.640 for sure, twist on things. 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.000 Which is why I love to your point about her 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.160 being now single, and I love that at the end, 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:45.720 I don't know if i'd call it a twist, but 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.560 you know when she doesn't go home with Daniel Sinjada instead, 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:49.439 like the city is. 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.120 Her No, No, that's really interesting. 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.959 It's beautiful, and it's especially beautiful in the context of 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:54.560 nine to eleven. 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.200 Yes, and that would have never happened. I mean, we 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:01.040 went home with everybody in this season one. It's like 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.000 there is growth, you know what I mean. It's really 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:05.000 interesting and it. 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:05.640 Was a beautiful guy. 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:06.800 Oh oh my god. 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:08.679 Why wouldn't she want to get him into bed? But 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:11.000 it was a great choice to say. 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.360 I love the city absolutely, I love it so much. 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:18.120 And he's so good, Like he's beautiful and so good, 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:22.040 Like it's super interesting. All right, now we come to missus, 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:26.240 little Charlotte. I want to say one of the things 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.440 that distracts me in this whole episode is that I 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.120 had done this photo shoot and they had had decided 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.480 to cut banks. I don't think I wanted bangs. I 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.080 don't think anyone really. It was back when I used 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.480 to kind of be easily pushed around or whatever. 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.760 I know, you're such a victim in this episode. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:44.760 I know, I know, in a couple of different ways. 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.480 And I'm trying to grow them out, and it took 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.600 forever and we're working right, and it was hard. So 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.600 like my bangs are like shellaced to my head for 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.959 most of this episode just to try to get them 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:58.040 to behave in the humidity. I have got like so 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.640 much hairspray on my head that I can barely move 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.360 and I am very distracted by it. But that's okay. 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.040 So because you know, kind of like my layers of 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:06.920 fake makeup. 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:11.760 Holy absolutely they made it work and look great. It's 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.240 so true. So this begins with us at the coffee 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.080 shop and Samantha really really wants to say pussy so 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.880 badly and keeps saying it, and I'm very displeased because 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:23.160 the baby Brady is there. This is a big change. 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.680 We've got a baby in the family in the group 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.520 and he's around and it's kind of fascinating. And I 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.440 didn't have children obviously then, but like then I'm walking 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.960 down the street with Anthony in like a horrible hat. 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:37.960 I don't know why I wore this hat. In my head, 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:39.880 there's so many things about this episode that I'm like, 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:43.360 what is happening? What is happening? And Anthony's there looking 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:47.080 so young, He's adorable and young Mario very young. And 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.200 it's Fleet week. This is the Fleet Week is like 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.160 infiltrating all the scenes, which is adorable and very much 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:53.200 how it is New York, right. 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:54.760 I was gonna say, it's a very and I don't 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.600 know if non New Yorkers get it. 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.600 That's why it was so much fun that the whole episode, 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:04.400 because it is real thing. Their sailors everywhere in their outfits. 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.400 And let's add to the mix. After nine to eleven, 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.320 no matter what side of the political eyle you were on, 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.320 we were all feeling a little bit patriotic. Oh yeah, 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.240 we're all feeling like, yes, those are our boys. 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.160 Absolutely in harm's way. 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:17.040 We were attacked. 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.960 Yes, yes, yeah, yes, yes, that's what It's so beautiful. 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.600 So that's also in there of like, I don't know, 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.880 this weird sense of like we you know, like as women, 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:28.080 you're like, we have to support our you know. 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:33.400 Definitely that's why Charlotte exactly, Yes, totally, and I believe 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.680 that's what everyone kept telling me at the time when 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:39.160 I was nervous to your patriotic duty exactly, which I 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:45.440 tried to do. So Anthony's telling me that Charlotte that 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.120 she hasn't had sex in a while and she's got 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:48.840 to get back out there or it's going to grow over, 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.480 and I'm like, oh my god, it's very classic mar 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.240 I could get away with that. I know, Mario can 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:55.880 pretty much get away with anything. 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:56.360 Pretty much anything. 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.920 Then we go to the party because Carrie and Samanth 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.560 the kind of you know, are pushing me or whatever, 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.760 and then I say that I'm going to have sex 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:09.240 that night to put Tray behind me, which I guess 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:14.280 we theoretically do. You know, it's not addressed, it's not right, 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.000 which is weird for us. 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:20.160 You know. I thought it was sweet, like, yeah, there 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:25.320 was this sense of my character recognized that you were 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.680 stepping out and trying something, and he was like, okay, 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.480 I'll follow your lead, Like I mean he starts off obviously, 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.960 he starts off like he starts off very very male 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.280 and very like, you know, I want something, Yes, But 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.600 I think there is a slight evolution in the scene 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:42.560 where he's like, Okay, I'm I'm going to be a 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.720 gentleman here. I'm going to let her take the lead. 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:45.600 That's so nice. 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.720 So I don't know, it's it's it's not answered whether 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:48.560 we actually go home. 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:50.520 I didn't think so either, which is kind of. 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.000 Just make out a little bit, and which is really nice. 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.960 It's really nice. There is like an innocence to the 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:56.960 whole thing there. 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.520 Really is, right even I mean truly even the whole 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:00.880 Like when you say, oh, I can't do that, and 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:02.720 I say, just show me one. It's it's in order 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:04.440 that it's it's playful and. 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.280 Right right right, thank god, thank god, thank god. I 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:09.560 like it. I like it all right. Samanda is going 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.120 through it in this episode because she's Samantha's I know. 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.560 But it's interesting because we have I cannot remember another 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:20.000 time where she has been upset by a breakup like this, 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:22.560 you know, And I mean, obviously the Richard relationship was 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.120 a whole different relationship with her, but like seeing her 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.840 like upset, and you know, she's talking about the things 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:29.480 that she would normally be talking about it but with 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:34.720 this undercurrent of upset, which is rare. She's flyers, I know, 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.480 and I'd totally forgotten that. I was like, wait what 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:42.320 she hands out these bright pink flyers that say liar 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.520 and cheat her with Richard's picture in his neighborhood. And 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.280 then the incredible Chandra Wilson shows up, which I'd also totally. 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:52.520 Forgotten, right, I know, isn't that like it's crazy, so 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.360 crazy because she took. 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.280 Off and I remember watching the beginning of Gradson and 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.400 being like, oh, she's so great, that's. 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:03.200 So great, and that moment is it's just great. It's 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.440 really change she makes when she's like, maam, you can't 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.160 do that, and then Samantha tells her story story carry on. 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:12.239 Man, I know, it's fantastic. It's so good and so 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.439 funny and such a great thing about being able to 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.080 be a show that's filming in New York finding great 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.840 actors like yourselves. They might not be huge parts, but 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:24.040 they're great, great moments, and they can help other people 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:26.239 continue on in their careers, you know what I mean? 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.240 And like a hundred create momentum and or heat if 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.720 you'd like to call it the industry word. But I 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:33.600 love to see it so much. 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:35.800 No, and I'm always grateful for it. Like I said, 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.880 like it's it's probably the smallest role that I get 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:39.680 recognized for. 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:40.280 Amazing. 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:41.520 Yeah, but it's great. 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:43.800 Who cares, right, I mean, it just goes to show 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:47.280 there are no small roles, only small actor. 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:48.040
