That’s a tricky one for me. There’s a lot of wonderful scenes. There’s a lot of wonderful moments. But I keep, you know, I keep going back to this moment that we had, it actually was a scene that was going to get cut. The director was running out of time and it’s in, I think the fourth episode, fifth episode, and we’ve had a party at our house and we’re cleaning up afterwards.
And, and in that scene, the director was running out of time and we were just about to go in and do the first rehearsal so we could block it out. And Gloria came in with Andy and the director and they said, hey guys, do you know the scene we’re about to film? And we’re like, yeah.
And we’re literally putting on our mic packs and getting the final touches. They said, do you mind if we run it real quick before we go and that nobody ever asks us to do that. So luckily, because we’re both really driven professionals, we had been running the lines earlier and we were very comfortable with the scene. So they came in and they said, can we just see it real quick? And we ran the lines and while we’re getting dressed, we ran it with feelings. And it just was a beautiful scene, even in this messy thing that we were putting together.
And all three of them looked at each other like, oh yeah, we’re keeping it. And they walked away and then we shot the scene and it was really simple, right? Nice and easy. Two people cleaning up and they said, hey, I forgot to tell you something. And it’s just a beautiful, beautiful, natural thing. And that comes from great writing. That comes from working with wonderful people opposite you. And I can go on and on. There’s a bunch of that. That’s just a great example of one of my favorite moments of just two artists being prepared and getting out of the way of the work and just doing it. It’s wonderful. And great writing.
