Speaker 1: Welcome to Girls Gone Hallmark, a Hallmark review podcast. I'm
0:13
Speaker 1: Megan and I'm a longtime Hallmark fan.
0:15
Speaker 2: I'm Wendy, I'm a former Hallmark hater.
0:17
Speaker 1: On today's episode, we are discussing two four t which
0:21
Speaker 1: originally premiered on the Hallmark Channel on Saturday, March twenty first,
0:25
Speaker 1: and is currently available to stream on Hallmark Plus.
0:30
Speaker 2: Hey, you should be following us.
0:31
Speaker 1: On Instagram where we are Girls Gone Hallmark. There are
0:34
Speaker 1: late breaking announcements happening there all the time, including the
0:38
Speaker 1: announcement that just dropped over the weekend that we.
0:42
Speaker 2: Have added yet another non Hallmark series to our rotation,
0:47
Speaker 2: and no one is more surprised than yours. Truly. I'm sorry.
0:52
Speaker 2: I get the hair brained ideas sometimes, you know.
0:56
Speaker 1: You should know that I've been talking about Down to
0:59
Speaker 1: Abbey for years. I've loved that show. I love that
1:02
Speaker 1: show since I had to check out the DVDs from
1:05
Speaker 1: the library in order to watch past seasons. And Wendy
1:09
Speaker 1: has always been a hater.
1:12
Speaker 2: Shocking, I know.
1:14
Speaker 1: So we're watching Count of Monte Cristo, which you may
1:17
Speaker 1: or may not know, but our reviews begin this Thursday.
1:19
Speaker 1: It's already started streaming on PBS and then Wendy saw
1:22
Speaker 1: a preview for the four Sights and said, should we
1:24
Speaker 1: do this? And we're doing it. It just looked so beautiful,
1:28
Speaker 1: like it just drew me.
1:29
Speaker 2: I don't even know what it was even about, but
1:32
Speaker 2: I just thought, like, how pretty that looks let's review that?
1:36
Speaker 2: Should we?
1:38
Speaker 1: And people said yes, so here we are. So the
1:40
Speaker 1: Foresights is also it started Sunday night on PBS. It's
1:43
Speaker 1: available for free on PBS dot org and the PBS app,
1:47
Speaker 1: as is the Count of Monte Cristo. The free episodes
1:50
Speaker 1: are only available for about two weeks, so you want
1:53
Speaker 1: to watch them shortly after the episode airs, but the
1:55
Speaker 1: PBS Passport app does have them for a longer window
1:59
Speaker 1: of time. So Count of Monte Cristo is eight episodes.

2:42

2:46
Speaker 2: length of the movie. Correct. So correct. It's the little

4:18
Speaker 2: named originally as being one of the writers on this.
4:22
Speaker 2: Until I saw her, you know, credit on the screen.
4:25

6:20
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break and we will come right
6:22
Speaker 1: back with our first impressions. Hey, Wendy, what's your first
6:34
Speaker 1: impression of Two for Tea.
6:36
Speaker 2: After her Christmas movie? I had notes, but Two for
6:40
Speaker 2: Tea considered this my formal apology to Jenelle Parrish.
6:45
Speaker 1: My first impression is, I'm convinced someone said the brand
6:47
Speaker 1: name tees Pots and backward engineered a story to go
6:50
Speaker 1: with it. Perhaps let's talk what we liked.
6:54
Speaker 2: I liked that it wasn't your typical Hallmark communication. Tea
7:03
Speaker 2: and Will just liked each other out loud, consistently. No
7:09
Speaker 2: Number two guy lurking in the shadows, nothing like that.
7:13
Speaker 2: They were just people who like caught feelings for each
7:15
Speaker 2: other and enjoyed each other. They're super normal, super normal.
7:21
Speaker 2: And even when she gets like a little bit like, oh,
7:24
Speaker 2: he didn't tell me he had a dad, theos like
7:26
Speaker 2: in the one conversation with you, he didn't reveal everything
7:28
Speaker 2: about himself and it like fully readirects. So she's like, yeah,
7:31
Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm upset THEO move on, cousin.
7:34
Speaker 2: THEO is super grounding in this episode, in this episode,
7:37
Speaker 2: in this movie, he's like such a great grounding force.
7:41
Speaker 2: Yeah for Tea, who is spinning out over dumb stuff. Yeah.
7:46
Speaker 2: I loved Tea and Leanne's relationship in this movie. No
7:49
Speaker 2: so nice.
7:51
Speaker 1: Like I first of all, I loved the character of Leanne.
7:54
Speaker 1: Lillian Limb delivers in her performance. I agree when she
8:00
Speaker 1: speaks to her cousin, I cried.
8:02
Speaker 2: It's so touching that scene.
8:05
Speaker 1: You could just feel these like childhood emotions coming through,
8:09
Speaker 1: like she finally gets that back. But I just really
8:12
Speaker 1: like the relationship that Tea and Leanne have. There's a
8:14
Speaker 1: lot of mutual respect, there's a lot of support. You said,
8:18
Speaker 1: the romance isn't typical for homework and the mother daughter
8:20
Speaker 1: relationship isn't typical leanne medals in kind of a fun way, yeah,
8:28
Speaker 1: but not in a she needs to learn her place way,
8:32
Speaker 1: like oh, she reorganizes the jewelry in the shop and
8:36
Speaker 1: she cleans things up, but the only thing she really
8:38
Speaker 1: does is she suggests that will like, oh she's down
8:41
Speaker 1: the street, go find her. Like that situation. But it's
8:44
Speaker 1: just lovely and nice and normal, and they support each
8:47
Speaker 1: other and do things to help each other out, and
8:51
Speaker 1: it's really nice.
8:52
Speaker 2: It is because we I think we get the stereo
8:55
Speaker 2: typical mother daughter adult mother daughter relationships where there is
8:59
Speaker 2: like or annoyance. Yeah, it's nice to see adults mother
9:07
Speaker 2: and daughters getting along. I love the inclusion of Mandarin
9:12
Speaker 2: and Chinese cultural elements. I thought it added so much
9:16
Speaker 2: depth to this movie. It wasn't like a check box.
9:18
Speaker 2: It felt personal. I thought it was refreshing well.
9:23
Speaker 1: In our review of Count and Monte Cristo that will
9:25
Speaker 1: come out in a couple of days, we talk about
9:26
Speaker 1: how that series takes place in France, but there's no French,
9:29
Speaker 1: and of course the argument is like it's for an
9:32
Speaker 1: English speaking audience, so we hear them speaking English. But
9:34
Speaker 1: I think the inclusion of even bits and pieces of
9:37
Speaker 1: the language like they used here. This movie was made
9:39
Speaker 1: for an English speaking audience, but it grounds it in
9:42
Speaker 1: its place and furthers the cultural relevance cultural narrative by
9:50
Speaker 1: using those bits and pieces without apologizing for it.
9:54
Speaker 2: Yeah it was great, Yeah, it was great. This movie
9:57
Speaker 2: had a lot of stories going on, but for me
10:01
Speaker 2: it works. You know, sometimes in the past it'd be
10:05
Speaker 2: like a Hallmark movie with all these like BCD storylines
10:09
Speaker 2: that are like working against it. But I thought here
10:12
Speaker 2: everything kind of worked together in like a really nice
10:15
Speaker 2: layered way. We have Tea's artistic journey, journey I hate
10:20
Speaker 2: that word, but you know what I mean, her cultural connection,
10:24
Speaker 2: the romance with Will, the community center, her mom's backstory.
10:29
Speaker 2: None of it for me felt like too much. I
10:32
Speaker 2: just thought it coexisted nicely, Like people live these very
10:36
Speaker 2: layered lives and all these things can happen like at
10:38
Speaker 2: one time and they don't need to like fight against
10:40
Speaker 2: each other. Yeah, you know, I honestly felt like maybe
10:43
Speaker 2: I should be bothered by that number of storylines. When
10:46
Speaker 2: I was sitting here trying to come up with what
10:47
Speaker 2: I wished for, I was like, well, there's kind of
10:49
Speaker 2: a lot going on, But like you, it worked, it
10:52
Speaker 2: was layered, and it was real life. You know, we're
10:56
Speaker 2: dealing with all of these people have a lot going on.
10:58
Speaker 2: That's just the way life goes, and you and I
11:01
Speaker 2: are very familiar with that. To your point about the
11:05
Speaker 2: inclusion of Mandarin, I liked the inclusion of a musical artist.
11:09
Speaker 2: There's music from the artist. The name is spelled Xie.
11:13
Speaker 2: I would not begin to know how to pronounce that.
11:16
Speaker 2: But she's from Hong Kong. That's great, let's do that.
11:20
Speaker 2: I didn't even I heard the song. I SHOs hammed it.
11:23
Speaker 2: Oh did you? Yes? Let's talk about Will and Tea
11:29
Speaker 2: for a second. I loved their chemistry. I thought this
11:36
Speaker 2: is what I really liked. And it might be a
11:37
Speaker 2: controversial take. I liked watching Will pursue Tea. Yeah. And
11:44
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the stage of life of
11:48
Speaker 2: where I'm at or just the modern day we live in,
11:53
Speaker 2: Like I just don't feel like we see that anymore,
11:56
Speaker 2: like a very kind of traditional like clocking her that
12:01
Speaker 2: she liked ice cream, or that he set up the
12:04
Speaker 2: lanterns and the thing or whatever, you know, that I
12:07
Speaker 2: brought the lantern festival to you. Oh. I just liked
12:10
Speaker 2: that he pursued her, he liked her. It wasn't creepy
12:14
Speaker 2: in any way.
12:15
Speaker 1: No, I really loved the character of Will. The I
12:18
Speaker 1: brought the Lantern Festival to you was one of my
12:20
Speaker 1: favorite lines. But also when they meet and he's like, I'm.
12:24
Speaker 2: Just a real guy having a great day. That's a
12:26
Speaker 2: great It's just sweet and flirty, and those butterfly moments
12:32
Speaker 2: that were just real fun.
12:34
Speaker 1: I also loved when Will's like I saw a bumper
12:36
Speaker 1: sticker that said if my music is too loud, you're
12:38
Speaker 1: just too old. And I related really strongly to that moment.
12:42
Speaker 2: If I can just piggyback on that that. Some of
12:44
Speaker 2: the dialogue in this movie was so good. Yeah, when
12:48
Speaker 2: they make a Tim Allen home improvement reference, I laughed
12:51
Speaker 2: out loud. Cousin Leo's like, no, I wasn't eating a
12:55
Speaker 2: pop tart, Like, I thought that was so funny. When
12:58
Speaker 2: Theo holds up two outfits for Ten's like, do you
13:01
Speaker 2: want to be hopelessly devoted to you, Sandy? Or you're
13:04
Speaker 2: the one I want to want Sandy? I thought that
13:06
Speaker 2: was so funny. Will tells Tea at one point, like
13:10
Speaker 2: you're wearing the heck out of a red dress. I
13:12
Speaker 2: was like swoony, Like there was just really good dialogue,
13:18
Speaker 2: like very modern contemporary dialogue. Sure, I liked it. One
13:24
Speaker 2: last thing that I liked. You may hate this the
13:27
Speaker 2: community Center storyline. Classic Hallmark, but it hit for me
13:31
Speaker 2: because I do think we live in a day where
13:35
Speaker 2: like community really matters, and we need spaces for everybody
13:43
Speaker 2: to feel comfortable in and there's not enough of them. Yes,
13:47
Speaker 2: it felt important. It wasn't just a plot device. I
13:50
Speaker 2: really enjoyed it. It made me. It made me just
13:53
Speaker 2: think about things like I wish, I wish we had
13:56
Speaker 2: more of that. I fully agree with you. The community
13:59
Speaker 2: center piece to hit.
14:00
Speaker 1: For me for the exact same reasons, like we are
14:03
Speaker 1: losing these spaces for people to just be. We've lost
14:06
Speaker 1: them in a lot of ways, and for me it
14:09
Speaker 1: felt so idyllic to have this place to go where
14:13
Speaker 1: there were other people to just be around. And we
14:17
Speaker 1: have the woman who's always reading and she just feels
14:19
Speaker 1: happy to just be there and read among her friends, and.
14:23
Speaker 2: I just look.
14:24
Speaker 1: I know, the like save the this or save the
14:26
Speaker 1: that is the Hallmark trope of them all, but I
14:30
Speaker 1: did want them to save this community center, and they did.
14:33
Speaker 2: Sell me on the fact that it was it was
14:35
Speaker 2: filling a need. Yeah, so agree.
14:40
Speaker 1: I have three little likes that I just want to
14:42
Speaker 1: run down. One Chris McNally has beautiful skin. Oh to
14:45
Speaker 1: the pottery studio had beautiful lighting. And three the red
14:49
Speaker 1: dress worn by Tea to.
14:50
Speaker 2: The art gallery was a stunner. Loved it. Loved it too.
14:54
Speaker 2: I loved it too. I've just one more tiny one.
14:58
Speaker 2: I thought the whole that one. It was a small
15:01
Speaker 2: scene and it could have been like a nothing scene,
15:03
Speaker 2: but Tea and Will's ex wife just being like we're cool,
15:07
Speaker 2: like just normalized scene. Everything is like there needs to
15:11
Speaker 2: be no weird tension, no kind of competition, nothing. I
15:14
Speaker 2: just great, great stuff. Let's talk wishes. How many freaking
15:20
Speaker 2: hours are in a Hallmark day? Oh yeah, let me
15:24
Speaker 2: present my evidence to the jury here. I may Tea
15:28
Speaker 2: and Will are in the same outfits at multiple locations,
15:33
Speaker 2: and it's supposed to be one day. I'm like, what
15:37
Speaker 2: is happening here? They are at the community center, they're
15:40
Speaker 2: at the shop, she's back in class. They go have
15:44
Speaker 2: ice cream, then they go to the farmer's market like
15:47
Speaker 2: it's yes, yes, what is happening? Yes? Why did they
15:50
Speaker 2: do that? I don't know? And then I noticed, oh,
15:54
Speaker 2: this is a kind of did you see that? But
15:55
Speaker 2: it goes back into it. At the top of the movie,
15:58
Speaker 2: Te's wearing like a real cute white T shirt and
16:01
Speaker 2: denim overall with like a scarf. She's wearing that same
16:05
Speaker 2: exact outfit like at the end of the movie in
16:09
Speaker 2: one scene too. It's just you know, yeah, I don't
16:13
Speaker 2: have a lot of wishes. I did think this was
16:17
Speaker 2: like a little bit of a slowburn. Although I kind
16:20
Speaker 2: of liked it, I have one issue with the character
16:24
Speaker 2: of Will What and it's not motivated. Yes, I'm chill, bro.
16:33
Speaker 1: Look when he is talking to Tea and he basically
16:37
Speaker 1: outs himself as being like not motivated. He says like, oh,
16:40
Speaker 1: as long as my bills are paid. It did give
16:43
Speaker 1: me the ick a little bit.
16:44
Speaker 2: Same same Now I got over it, and I don't
16:49
Speaker 2: think he behaves that way going forward.
16:51
Speaker 1: I don't think his actions support that narrative. Huh, Because
16:54
Speaker 1: he is working hard, he's hustling, he's starting his own business.
16:58
Speaker 1: I think it's okay to not want to be the
17:01
Speaker 1: CEO of a corporation. But I felt like what he
17:05
Speaker 1: was saying was like I just want to barely get by,
17:08
Speaker 1: Like I want to work.
17:10
Speaker 2: To live, not live to work. Huh.
17:13
Speaker 1: I just think you know, you and I are in
17:15
Speaker 1: this phase of life where when someone's like I go
17:16
Speaker 1: with the flow, You're like, well that means someone else
17:18
Speaker 1: is the flow.
17:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so it rubbed me a little bit the
17:23
Speaker 2: wrong way. I totally feel you, okay, And I think
17:26
Speaker 2: it's a mismatch if like you're with somebody who is driven, right, yes,
17:32
Speaker 2: because then you're like dragging this person along, like hey,
17:35
Speaker 2: I need you to operate at my level or vice versa.
17:39
Speaker 2: And like I said, I also don't think that narrative
17:43
Speaker 2: match to his actions. Because I'm starting this business. That's great,
17:46
Speaker 2: Like you love to build things and fix things and
17:49
Speaker 2: make things and be this person. That's great.
17:52
Speaker 1: You don't need to have aspirations for that to be
17:55
Speaker 1: a multinational corporation. But I do think you do need
18:01
Speaker 1: to accept that life is long. Retirement is a real thing. Yeah,
18:06
Speaker 1: you have a child, right the slim by the seat
18:10
Speaker 1: of your pants, and you know, hoping you have money
18:12
Speaker 1: to keep the lights on is not the only goal.
18:16
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, I agree, totally agree. I do have a
18:19
Speaker 2: few more wishes. Okay, I thought the community center stuff
18:24
Speaker 2: was a little wobbly. You find out you're closing, you're
18:29
Speaker 2: still hosting this opening. That makes no sense, Like the
18:33
Speaker 2: day before you close and you're collecting sign ups without
18:36
Speaker 2: even knowing if you're going to stay open. What is
18:40
Speaker 2: happening here? No, makes no sense. You know that our
18:43
Speaker 2: synopsis is so much about like Tea's art journey, and
18:47
Speaker 2: it's a whiff in this. I feel like, yeah, I
18:51
Speaker 2: could have used more of that. I think so too,
18:53
Speaker 2: And because I thought it was really interesting that she was,
18:56
Speaker 2: you know that this gallery owner is like you need
18:59
Speaker 2: to put yourself war into your art and whatever. And
19:02
Speaker 2: I actually did like a lot at the end where
19:04
Speaker 2: he's like it's a no for me, but this is why.
19:06
Speaker 2: And I was like, that makes perfect sense to you.
19:09
Speaker 2: Like I thought all that stuff was kind of great.
19:11
Speaker 2: I did. For a minute. I was like, isn't weird
19:14
Speaker 2: that she is like replicating this traditional art? Is that
19:20
Speaker 2: where's the line? Yeah, the copyright situation? Yeah? Is it
19:25
Speaker 2: the method? That's a good question. But I enjoyed all
19:29
Speaker 2: that stuff. I thought, I thought that stuff was cool.
19:31
Speaker 2: I really want to take a ceramics class. Do you
19:35
Speaker 2: guys we're a needle pointing here, we're ceramics. That's it
19:39
Speaker 2: so far, needle pointing, that's all we're doing. Maybe revisiting painting,
19:44
Speaker 2: maybe maybe stay tuned.
19:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have like a four week class at my
19:48
Speaker 1: community center.
19:50
Speaker 2: Yes, I want to do it. I would just I
19:53
Speaker 2: always have like visions like you know when like it
19:55
Speaker 2: just when they're I was like, that would be me
19:59
Speaker 2: all the times, and I would be like I'm done,
20:01
Speaker 2: I'm not starting over again. That's why I like a
20:04
Speaker 2: class situation, like you show up, it's they tell you
20:06
Speaker 2: what to do. I would never be like I'm gonna
20:08
Speaker 2: go to the pottery studio and throw a pot. It
20:09
Speaker 2: would be like you follow the directions and then you
20:12
Speaker 2: leave and someone else's handles all. Also, I don't know
20:15
Speaker 2: if my back can take like sitting over good good point,
20:20
Speaker 2: the weird point. I am suffering a needle point related
20:23
Speaker 2: shoulder strain. Then you get yourself a hitting pad and
20:28
Speaker 2: an ice pack, Like is Bravo doing that promoting I'm
20:32
Speaker 2: gonna have to see. Yeah, yeah, it was super annoying.
20:35
Speaker 2: I was like I get that you guys are promoting
20:37
Speaker 2: Hope Valley right now. But my goodness, gracious like enough.
20:43
Speaker 2: Also Will at the Lantern festival thing that he set up,
20:48
Speaker 2: he is using a boombox, a boom are we are
20:52
Speaker 2: we playing music on the radio or a cassette tape?
20:56
Speaker 2: What's happening here? A boom box, a whole boom box, boombox.
21:01
Speaker 2: There's no CD player And it was like a cassette
21:03
Speaker 2: tape boom box.
21:05
Speaker 1: It wasn't one that looked like a boombox and happened
21:07
Speaker 1: to be a bluetooth speaker.
21:10
Speaker 2: Interesting m M. Tea's mom showing up with balloons at
21:15
Speaker 2: the end, because I don't know if you caught it,
21:17
Speaker 2: Like he, Tea has this whole conversation with Will about
21:20
Speaker 2: how her mom always like showed up with signs and
21:24
Speaker 2: balloons to like support her. And then in that very
21:26
Speaker 2: last scene where Will's showing that tease pots are going
21:30
Speaker 2: to be on display, Leanne is there with like her
21:34
Speaker 2: own There's balloons all over their room that are like
21:36
Speaker 2: for the community center, but Leanne has her own set
21:39
Speaker 2: of door blues, and I'm like, this is sending me
21:43
Speaker 2: I Also, my last thing is it did you see
21:45
Speaker 2: that ish. The slow dance tutorial between Will and his
21:50
Speaker 2: daughter I loved very much, but let's be honest. Middle
21:53
Speaker 2: schoolers and high schoolers are not slow dancing at dances. Well, okay,
21:58
Speaker 2: two things.
21:59
Speaker 1: One, if you don't don't have a tween orteene breaking news,
22:03
Speaker 1: no more to those songs never. And two what will
22:07
Speaker 1: and t we're teaching was far more sophisticated than any
22:10
Speaker 1: like people are just there's there's no actual dance in frame.
22:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, they're like Frankenstein arms. Yes, but I thought
22:20
Speaker 2: it was sweet.
22:20
Speaker 1: Additionally, the handwriting on the to do list and the
22:23
Speaker 1: handwriting on the Trimey note what was happening.
22:25
Speaker 2: There don't match. She's giving me the don't say it windy,
22:29
Speaker 2: but it's it was the bubble over the eyes that
22:33
Speaker 2: I was like, what is who wrote this? Yes? Who
22:37
Speaker 2: wrote what child wrote this? What teenager wrote this? I know?
22:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, century emails to Wendy. My point is the handwriting,
22:46
Speaker 1: the samples don't match. The Trimey sign and the to
22:50
Speaker 1: do list not the same person. At the art gallery,
22:53
Speaker 1: THEO brings tea a cosmo and she's like, love this
22:56
Speaker 1: line fool dated, and he's like early millennium is back
22:59
Speaker 1: in fashion, and you cannot tell me that it is
23:02
Speaker 1: a mistake that at that very moment, Janelle Parrish is
23:05
Speaker 1: rocking my very favorite hairstyle trend that I miss so
23:09
Speaker 1: very much, and that is the mini poof I'm demonstrating
23:12
Speaker 1: it for Wendy.
23:13
Speaker 2: I didn't notice, but what I did clock. First of all,
23:16
Speaker 2: a Cosmo is delicious. I don't care if it's twenty
23:19
Speaker 2: twenty six, I will gladly order one. Yes, so good.
23:22
Speaker 2: And I think mid nineties is back right now, not
23:27
Speaker 2: early millennial. I would agree with that.
23:30
Speaker 1: But I thought it was funny because my daughter and
23:31
Speaker 1: I have been watching Gilmore Girls and there's a scene
23:33
Speaker 1: where Suki has like a real aggressive poof.
23:36
Speaker 2: My I was like, what's going on with her hair?
23:37
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, that was the look. I miss the
23:39
Speaker 2: poof so much. It was my best look. I've never
23:42
Speaker 2: got it. Better do it. I want to see on
23:45
Speaker 2: midlife Bestie's TikTok. You should be following us.
23:48
Speaker 1: We are at Megan and Wendy and I am publishing
23:50
Speaker 1: at a rapid pace over there.
23:52
Speaker 2: I need to see the poof. Okay, we're going to
23:54
Speaker 2: do a poof. I'm bringing it back.
23:56
Speaker 1: Additionally, the movie poster feature a ghost movie like pottery
24:02
Speaker 1: sequence that does not exist in the movie. They never
24:05
Speaker 1: do pottery together. Real Missed Opportunity. Although it would have
24:08
Speaker 1: been three movies so far this year featuring that type
24:10
Speaker 1: of scene. The poster is really cute, though adorable. It's
24:13
Speaker 1: my favorite of the year so far. We have a couple.
24:16
Speaker 1: Did you see that? It's from listener Wayne?
24:18
Speaker 2: Yes, tell me, Wayne says.
24:20
Speaker 1: When Will gets the handyman job, the director of the
24:22
Speaker 1: community center, Liz tells him the job is only as
24:24
Speaker 1: needed as if there isn't much work, and then proceeds
24:27
Speaker 1: to tell him there's a huge list of tasks he
24:29
Speaker 1: needs to get on with a bubble.
24:31
Speaker 2: Dot over an eye. Is that her to do list? No,
24:36
Speaker 2: it's his to do list. I think it's her to
24:38
Speaker 2: do list.
24:38
Speaker 1: No, because it's like set up website and all that,
24:41
Speaker 1: like order business cards. I oh, oh, interesting, I don't know. Finally,
24:49
Speaker 1: Wayne says the scene when Will is talking with his
24:51
Speaker 1: daughter in his apartment, his daughter, Natalie goes to screw
24:54
Speaker 1: a cover to a light switch on the wall and
24:56
Speaker 1: then proceeds to run the drill for like twenty seconds
24:58
Speaker 1: while he says good good. All I kept thinking was
25:01
Speaker 1: how long is that screw?
25:02
Speaker 2: I actually thought the same thing. That's funny. It should
25:05
Speaker 2: have been like yea yea fair. But that scene was
25:08
Speaker 2: real cute when he's like, you have to do this? Yeah,
25:11
Speaker 2: I and she does it. I just thought that was
25:13
Speaker 2: a real adorable I can't knock I. You know me
25:15
Speaker 2: notoriously don't like children in movies. I thought this girl
25:19
Speaker 2: was so cute, really sweet, so cute. Hey would you
