00:00I love that you just hit us with some Shakespearean art.

00:02You know, as a... as a... as a Thespierre.

00:05It's not that Thespierre to say like that.

00:07As a Thespierre.

00:13My favorite line in this movie was when you look at her and say,

00:19I'm not gonna kill you, you're like my best friend.

00:21Oh my god, yeah!

00:23He's in another world, man.

00:25Different galaxy.

00:27The narrative inside of his brain is...

00:29Something different.

00:31Everybody's dead.

00:32My favorite is the boop.

00:34It was the boop after.

00:35Yeah.

00:36And that was fully Zoey.

00:38Zoey, like, you know, because we...

00:39I would say, you're my best friend.

00:41And she goes...

00:42Just...

00:42She's so sick and twisted, I love it.

00:44Yeah, and I was like...

00:45What?

00:47I was like, boop, like, boop.

00:48Like, boop, like, boop.

00:50Like, really? Like, super bad?

00:51Boop, boop, boop.

00:52Yeah.

00:53And I was like, yeah.

00:54I was like, all right.

00:55Like, super bad.

00:56I love that because it implies that she's done it many times before.

00:59That's, like, a thing that you have and she has no idea.

01:01No one knows.

01:02Boop.

01:02We've played with a lot of different other versions that at one point she had been there

01:07multiple, multiple times, not just one other time or whatever, and, like, lots of...

01:12This has happened, like, a lot, a lot, but, you know, it was a little confusing and esoteric

01:18to, like, kind of draw out what that really would mean and, like, kind of justify it.

01:23So, I think simplifying it was better and making it, like, one time and it was...

01:29But, yeah.

01:30Yeah.

01:31Knowing it is...

01:32It's a weird thing to have to play and sort of, you know, poker faces is always the best

01:38face, I guess.

01:39I mean, Deidre.

01:40Well, maybe not...

01:41Let's answer that one, right?

01:42I think, like, you know, you just play the given circumstance instead of playing...

01:49It's like the old...

01:50It's the thing about Shakespeare tragedy.

01:52You don't play the tragedy.

01:53You play the thing before the thing.

01:55Right.

01:56No one ever should know.

01:57You know what I mean?

01:58Yeah.

01:59Right.

02:00So, acting.

02:01Acting!

02:02I love that you just hit us with some Shakespeare.

02:03You know, as a...

02:04As a...

02:05As a...

02:06As a...

02:07Thespian.

02:08Not that fespian.

02:09Say it like that.

02:10As a thespian.

02:11We need to find out what's really going on.

02:18It's a really special place.
