00:00Can you take me back to Paul and Jesse's first chemistry read, because the chemistry between them,
00:04it's so special and unique. And I'm just curious, how would you put words to it?
00:09It was the scene that they met. At the time, I haven't written the script, so Maggie and I just
00:14wrote the scene from the book for them to try. And it was very explosive. And I loved how,
00:22because Jesse is very strong, has a lot of fire in her. And I needed somebody, I needed an actor
00:31who
00:32can really meet that. If I were to say she's like a tsunami, I need someone who's a mountain,
00:39who can stop the tsunami and contain it so the water can come down. And Paul was playing Stanley
00:45on stage for a streetcar. So I think he was a lot of that energy coming into the chemistry read
00:53as
00:53well. So I saw the collision of a tsunami and a steady mountain. It was just...
00:58That's beautiful. Yeah.
