00:00Sam doesn't know in our show. I know that that's a slight difference from, you know,
00:03from the book, but I think Sam not knowing just creates an environment for us to see his spiral
00:10rather than in the book, you know, we hear about it and it's, it's talked about, but we don't get
00:14to actually actively see it happen. And I think for me, it was really fun to get to play that,
00:18but also watching Sam completely like close Charlie off is heartbreaking. And for me,
00:26it's like, I have a brother that I'm very close to. And so like trying to tap into that,
00:30like the thought of closing out my brother, like that is heartbreaking. And I think it's just,
00:35it's such a great addition to the show. Do you think he like really believes it when he tells
00:39Charlie, like we're done, you're dead to me and all that kind of stuff? 110%. I think he believes it.
00:45I think he is so beyond hurt by Charlie, um, more than any of the hurt that has ever happened
00:52with
00:52Percy, at least in that given moment. And he says, so in the show at one point, like Charlie
00:57is his only family he has left. And to be so deeply betrayed by that sole family member that
01:03you have left now that both of his parents are gone, he doesn't have other siblings. Like
01:07this is his only like blood relative. And so having that level of betrayal and hurt. And, um,
01:15you know, that's something that I love that we get to see in the show. I love that we get
01:19to see
01:19that moment happen. And I love that.
