• 3:00
  Speaker 1: school for bad more bad behavior, you know, fulonious behavior,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: breaking into people's safes and taking money out. You know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: any other kid would have gone to jail and been prosecuted.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: But so Tristan goes to a private military school in
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: North Carolina, and then Para steps up to inhabit the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: role so fully as Romeo. In the final performance, Robert
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: is Dean being overprotective? Was he justified?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Well? I mean I have to say that Dean was
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: pretty annoying in this episode. He was being extremely needy
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: and insecure.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but don't you think Tristan was even being more annoying? Oh?
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, he absolutely was. He was egging danon every step
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: of the way, and it just wouldn't. I mean, the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: episode itself is so well. I mean, the dialogue that
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: we had in the diner with you you just slinging
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: those mad You had great lines.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Good stuff, good stuff, good stuff. So they're teenagers, how
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: was Dean supposed to act? I thought he acted pretty
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: grown up for a teenager.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he wasn't too bad. He wasn't too bad. It
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: just it just some of the things. The pushing.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, men do that, right, they do that. That's
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the same scene that has been played out time and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: again for thirty plus forty plus men. Yeah, I think
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I should be there. Yeah, I think I'm crazy. Right. Yeah,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: someone's always getting in between Dean and Rory.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Right, Yes, it's always trying to get in there.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: So, but do you think he went too far? Do
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you think Dean went too far?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I think it's kind of normal for his situation in
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a small town. You know, you know people you're you're
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: afraid the the implication of you know, he's rich and
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: you know from the school, and you know, it's it's
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: just that normal teenage anks.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: You think it's more that he doesn't it's not that
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: he doesn't trust her, it's that maybe he really doesn't
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: trust Tristan, Like that guy is manipulative, diabolical, and you
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: know he's up to you, right, he keeps showing it
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: at every word out of his mouth, right exactly.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that encountered that they had at Dozes
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: market place. You know, he was just every little needle
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: nigging on.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think if anybody ever deserved a sock in
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the jaw is that character Jesus. Let me ask you this.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: If Dean was a little more chill right or stand
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: offish with Rory, I wonder if she would have stayed
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: with him. What do you think you think she there's
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a part of her that liked him being a little overprotective.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Did that make her feel safe or did that make
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: her did that turn her off a little bit?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I think the drama, the this situation was very overwhelming
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: for her and that was not the experience she was looking.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: For, right right, Obviously we know that Tristan has feelings
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: for Rory, right it was a very sweet goodbye after
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: he's carted off to military school. I for want am
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: not sad to see Tristan leave the show. I think
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: this is the last time we have to deal with us.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: What would you have liked to see it happen between
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Tristan and Rory.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Well, Tristan just wouldn't learn. Would I would have liked
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: to see an actual you know, his character was a
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: good character, and if we could see him grow from
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: learning from his mistakes rather than just constantly repeating mistakes
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: over and over asking for that attention. If he kind
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: of like put two and two together, says, you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I could be a better person. I could grow or
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: if Amy decided to have him grow in that character,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: he would have been a really awesome character to continue
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: with the work.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: So you think he was redeemable. There's there's some redeemable
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: qualities here.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, I mean he the dialogue when he said goodbye
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: to war kind of im just going.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Man, just what how do people evolve like this? Let's
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: let's say twenty years later, these people have an epiphany
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: at twenty five and they say, I don't want to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: be this person anymore. How do these people end up?
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: What do they do? Are they redeemable? Do they turn
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: into like the opposite of what they once were? Are
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Are they as obnoxious on the other side, love bombing
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: people all the time and trying to get everybody to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: fall in love with them? And I'm a great guy, And.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I think the energy just kind of starts coming down,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: and then you kind of settle down, and you kind
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: of well that, you know, you can't put that force,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that much energy into being that character all the time,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and chill kind of settle down.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe maybe the reason he's like that is because
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: he has no idea who he is, yes, right, yes, anyway,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: all right, well that's for the bigger minds to ponder.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about lorelized date. This was This
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: was a very This was hysterically funny. The payoff for
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: this was really great. She's at business school. She's asked
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: by one of her class names made. Paul is very
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: young looking, youngish looking. Although we don't see the date.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: She opens up about how she enjoyed the idea of
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: a dating life, not necessarily thinking her and Paul are
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: a match. But you know. Then he shows up at
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Luke Steider with a baseball cap, one that made him
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: look like he was seventeen. Oh, he looked like a
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: college guy. It was really funny with his parents and
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: he's full of enthusiasm and oh, it's just great. This
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: was probably the funniest scene in the show.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I love the lexuses line. I always wanted a little brother.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: She had.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Again, like I told you before, you just had some
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: great one liners, telling Laura she'd she should have a
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: hype bar.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: R right, right, right, Rory had some good one liners too.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I mean she had some singers. You know, she mocks
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: her own mother. She always had a little brother, so
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Luke is a little salty towards Laura. I mean he's
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: kidding her and teasing her, but then he gets a
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: little you know, he says, you know, the turn is
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: it's embarrassing that she's running around with a kid. I mean, right,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: is Luke jealous? No?
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I think Luke is he is generally invested in Laurali
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: and he thinks she can do better. I mean she
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: is literally I think he is literally embarrassed for her
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: because he thinks that much of her and that she
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: can do so much better.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Right, I'm going to say, you know, to answer the question,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: is Luke playing the right game here? I think for
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: him to remain unbothered by it could come off as uncaring,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: right yeah? Oh yeah, and he cares. He cares deeply.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: And I think another way of him showing his feelings
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: for her is to be a little critical and to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: be like, you know, to take on the friend roll,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: like what the hell are you doing? What are you
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: thinking of it? I mean it's a bad look for you,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, come on, step up, I mean,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: without you know, pushing himself. But yeah, I don't think
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: ice and unbothered and not engaging in it is possible
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: for him, you.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Know, I mean he wears his heart on his sleeve
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: and he shows it all the time by showing his
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: emotions of when he's bothered and when he's not bothered,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: when he's generally happy and proud of Orri, and when
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: he's frustrated by the antics that laurel Lie sometimes does.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Should he have gotten together with lorel I sooner? Is this?
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Is this proof that it's being dragged out too much
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and that the fans are getting frustrated. Like it's almost
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: like the writing is so artful that they want the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: fans to give up hope, they want them to settle on. Oh,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: they're just going to be friends. It's never gonna happen.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: And then when it does happen, it's like, wow.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: No, it's it's it's truly a great, great slow burn.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: And you know Amy just writes so well and had
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: this run out so well that yeah, I think it
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: would have been the payoff would have been better, or
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: had been was better by making it longer.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Friendshit, there is Paul too young or you know, I
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: don't know Laurrea Lash she date who she wants right, right?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Isn't it a good idea for her to tipper tone
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: in the dating pool again, I mean, so what, he's
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: so he's young.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: So what, It's just her track record, it's just her
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: choices in her track record has just not been sterling
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: of late.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: She's in a tough spot, right. It's just such a
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: tough to be a single mother and dating a what
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: a minefield that is. You have to be so careful
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: who you bring into your world. And now that you know,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Rory is on her way to you know, some Ivy
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: League institution, Let's face it, she's going somewhere. She's doing
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: great at Chiltern, you know. Yeah, you got to take
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: a little me time.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Right exactly.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: And she's you know, she's thirty what, she's thirty three now,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: she's thirty two. At the beginning of the show, she's
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: thirty three season two, so she's thirty three. Yeah, why not? Right?
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, gotta get out and live. And I think I
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: think Suki was right, like get out there and like,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: you know, anyway, is it better for Rory or Luke
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to make fun of this guy's age?
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I just well, it's just both. I mean, Rory just
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: shows the camaraderie, the the the love and that level
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: of kitting around with your mom and being her best friend,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: and then Luke just being there as as a truly
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: good friend, going holding up a mirror and saying, what
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: are you doing? Look at this?
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: But you know this is very North of Eastern kidding
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: each other, teasing each other. It's very you know, it's
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: what It's how I grew up. This is what you do.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: You just bag on people you know, and it's just constantly.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: It's fun. Why Why do you think Luke isn't making
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a move just yet? What is it? What is he
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: waiting for? Robert?
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I think he's a good friend. I think he's truly
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: a good friend. And and if it comes down and
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: he's looking for what's best for her, if someone else
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: else turns up that he approves of that is best
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: for her, he'll support it. But if someone like this
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: little boy comes around and he's going to say no,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: this is he'll he'll he'll he'll criticize it and tell
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: him that's not good enough. And I'm not sure he's
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: decided that he's also putting his hat in the ring.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: He's truly a good friend.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess he likes his routine. I think he's
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I think he's a little afraid of breaking up his routine.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: If it didn't work out, it would blow his whole
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: world apart. If it does work out, it blows his
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: whole world apart. Right, So he's he's I think he's
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: hanging on with, you know, one hand plus three fingers
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: on the other hand, and he's got a pinky and
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: a thumb available maybe for this relationship. Boy, that didn't
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: come out right anyway.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: So his I mean, his life is a little bit
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: on the rocks because of the news of his nephew
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Milo coming into his life, you know, right and upsetting
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: that card. So he's got issues.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Right right, right, all right, So let's discuss Robert, if
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: you will indulge me. I know you're busy. I know
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: you have to be in several places at once. You're
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: mister everywhere, mister everything. Sixth, seventh and eighth Man of
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the Year. Lorel I approaches Luke at the diner and
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: she says that she doesn't have many people in her
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: life that are permanent, and and she brings it up
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: as an example that that could have been. Then she
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: says she has roy Suki this town. And then last
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: but not least you know the gipper there, Luke, and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: then he says that you know she has him right exactly.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about Lorelay saying that she doesn't have a
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: lot of permanent people in her life. Did that hit
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: you emotionally? Definitely?
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, because Lorela does. She is looking for stability,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: and she's looking for the people that she can count on,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: and she doesn't. She is way too scared to screw
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: that up. And you are one of Luke is one
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: of those you. Luke is one of those people that
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: have been rock steady in her life.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: M hm. Yes, it's nice to hear, right, It's nice
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: to hear that absolute. Yeah, So I think it maybe
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: gets him. I think that scene maybe gets him to
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the starting line again in the you know, and that
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the kathlon that is laurel I's heart, right, he maybe
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: wants to step up and vuy for that trophy, right, maybe? Maybe?
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: What do you think of all this? Do you think
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons laurel I has such issues with commitment?
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: You think it's it she's commitment phobic.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Well, she's definitely admitted that she sucks at dating, right,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: and that you know, when she dates a man romantically,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: it's gone bad for her. So she's getting a lot
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: or a little or a lot gun shy on the
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: whole romance title. And she doesn't want that title to
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: be put on someone that she can count on because
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: she always loses them.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Do you feel that on a psychological level, maybe she
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: feels she isn't worthy of that type of permanence that
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: she liked, Like she had her shot, but now she's
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: got bigger fish to fry with her daughter and her
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: daughter's future and that's really the important thing, and that
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: she's made it this far and she runs her own
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: business and she's she's an independent woman. Does she really
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: need a man right now? I mean that's that's really
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the question I think this show is posing. Do you
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: really need a guy by yourself? Maybe nice to have
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: one if it works out, But I mean she's perfectly capable,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: right I'm not arguing against the relationship, trust me. The
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Luke LARELEI think is wonderful. But it's like she's a
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: very capable person. She's figured it out at sixteen years old.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: She had to figure it out. Imagine being sixteen and
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: having to do that. Now she's still she's she's still young,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: thirty thirty three years old. Yeah, but there's nothing wrong
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: with wanting to have a partner. Nothing wrong.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: You know, she's going to be an empty nester in
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a couple of years, so it's like she's going to
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: be so young still as an empty nest or she'll
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: be what thirty four, thirty five, thirty five years old?
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: That's really young, kidding me, right, So it's a real dilemma,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: you know for single mothers.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that she's understanding that there is the
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: next stage in her life is coming up. She's dipping
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: her toe in the water and damn it, but it's
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: you know, working out like it did before. So something's
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: got to change, and she's trying to figure it out.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: And admitting that she sucks at dating goes a long
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: way to I think, establish and maintain her friendship with Luke.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: She also includes the town like the town really is
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: her rock. It's the collectives, it stars hollow, that is
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: her permanence. Yeah, that's her safe place. That's where she
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: found herself and raised her daughter. I mean, she's never
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: going to leave that town. She's a lot like Luke
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: in that way. I think when you know, that's why
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: maybe these two are faded to be together because they
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: are both that town. Yes, you know, he grew up there,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: but she adopted it. And I don't see her leaving, right, No,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I don't see her leaving. Do you see Luke and
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Laurel eyes there together? Right, They're there forever in that
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: town and they'll always be you, it will always be on. Yeah.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: When Luke said you have me right, you have me
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: pretty good line.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Huh, that's a great line. I mean, it just shows
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: you that you can be a good friend, you can
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: have a relationship with a guy and not screw it up, right,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: And I think that's what she needs to know, right.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: The inevitability of this relationship. It's inevitable, right, Yes, that's
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: great writing. It has to feel inevitable if you want
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: this thing to work, it's got to feel inevitable. From
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the first scene that we see them together, there's got
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: to be a spark, right, There's got to be something there,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: you know. It seems like the writers they just they
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: just they never give us too much. They give us
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: just enough. Right that The magic of the show is
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: that the magic.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Robert no writing is the magic of the show it is.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's so well written. This was but second season.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: This is the beginning of me working on Gilmour Girls.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: I think it's the fourth episode that I've done as
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: a busboy. Overall, I think I've done about ten episodes
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: so far. And I mean, I'm I'm still finding myself
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: in the role of the bus boy and still try
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: not to laugh on camera when you guys boy again,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: you and Roy with the one liners and Liz Torres
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: coming in, Liz Liz coming in.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: That's right, you had to really repress your laughter.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, Oh my god, God, what you read to go
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: There was a huge difference between reading the script or
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: the sides that they give you. So okay, I know
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: they're going to say this, but then when you deliver
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: and then Liz delivers and Suki delivers those lines, it's like, shit,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: that is way funnier than I read it.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: To me, it's a very heartfelt scene, very sweet little scene. Yes,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you my reaction to it when
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I first read it at the table read was you know,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: it gave me. I think it was the first time
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I felt secure that I was going to have a
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: job going forward. Yeah, you know, because I was always
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: a little like God, they're throwing so many guys, and
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I wanted to believe that this couldn't possibly.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: End.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: But you know, everybody's expendable that isn't like a Gilmore.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: And this is the scene that gave me that confidence,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: like I think I'm going to hang. I think I'm
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: going to survive this if this sort of this merry
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: go round of boyfriends.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: That is really funny. You say that because working background
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: on the show, the ads in the first eighties were
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: looking for a spot for me very kindly, and I
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: was a towny walking around driving a car, and when
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: that scene came out, going wow, I could They're gonna
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: make me the bus boy. I guess I can do.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: The bus boys going to be the job that I'm
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: going to do. And that's what it grew into that
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: I was always in the dinerize the busboy, because you
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: we're going to be there forever, you know what.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Let's let's I want to ask you a couple of
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: things about about how you got involved with Gilmore girls.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: You remember your first day on set?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't say I remember literally remember the first day on set,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: but I do remember coming in the first couple of times,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: and Carla was the first a d and she was saying, well,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I'll find you something, you know. Was it going to
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: be a teacher. We didn't know if Chilton and the
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: teachers were going to be seen a lot, or were
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: we going to be at Chilton mostly where we're going
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: to be in the town generally mostly And later on
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: as we just talked about, we found out that one
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: of the primary sets would be Luke Steiner and we're
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: going to be in there so much so trying to
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: find out generalized essentially, it was first generalized that you're
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: just going to be a towny and we'll see where
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: it goes from there. And slowly certain specific things started
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: coming up, like working in the diner, in which we
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: had not just ask one or two principles, you would
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: have up to six five six principles in and you
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: needed someone or they needed someone to be reliable and
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: do the background without screwing it up, you know, make
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: the takes not about the background making mistake, but about
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: the actors getting the work done and getting the best
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: possibles work out of you guys. So I think this
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: is probably one of the starting episodes one of the
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: first episodes where they're going, oh, Rob's doing good at
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: these complicated scenes.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: And can I interject something here? Days when I would
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: be standing next to you, and you are always very
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: friendly with everybody and very respectful and reverential. And one
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: of the things we appreciated so much about you and
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: the work that you were doing was that you took
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: it so seriously like you were a member of the
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: main cast, and that I was standing next to you
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: one day and it was pretty early on and yeah,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of people were in the diner and it
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: was kind of a hot day and we were all
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: dressed for winter and all that, and you were sweating
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: your brains out and I could see the moisture on
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: your shirt. I could see the coming through your shirt,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the sweat stain. And you were just like focused every
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: single take, focused, ready to go, ready to do your thing.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: And if somebody, another extra wasn't doing their job right,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: you would go over and you would you would tell
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: them in the night nicest possible way. It's like you
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: were the captain of the extras and you were making
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: sure that it was the most believable background scene. And
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I just I just respect you so much for the
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: work you put in. Because you put in the same
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: amount of hours you put your work was maybe even
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: harder because you know, you had to focus and listen
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: to every line of dialogue to know exactly when to
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: hit your mark on the other side of the din,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: when to pick up the plate, when to I mean,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: you had to do all of that stuff, and you know,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: we really marveled at your dedication and your skill at
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: doing this. So good on here for that.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: No small job, no small job to work in that diner,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: you know, you know right, because those scenes were very,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: very complex, and the blocking was very complex at times.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: You guys had so much dialogue to do, and I
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: respected you guys so much, and I understood that I
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: can't be There's just I just could not be part
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: of the problem. I needed to be part of the
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: solution because you guys were getting your damn you were
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: getting your lines last minute all the time. And I
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: saw it. I heard it. I heard when the Blues
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: and the Pinks came in. I'm just going, are you
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: kidding me? They're changing it again? All that dialogue that
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: you guys have to do, and I just had I
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: just felt that it was really my responsibility to be
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: part of the solution and never the problem.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you you made that a very well
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: oiled machine in that diner. When we were working with you,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: it was a well oiled machine. We had the utmost
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: confidence that we were working with somebody who was truly
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: a pro, who took it very seriously, and we I
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: just want to say how much I appreciated. I know
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: everybody else did too. And if there was some kind
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: of an award for extras, you would be getting the Emmy,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: you'd be getting this Screen Actors Guild. I mean, you're
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: just wow, really great job. Do you ever get recognized
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: by the way as as tell us tell.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Us, I wouldn't say I get recognized on the street
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: so much. But when we when I was working with
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: you at the Holidays made here event at Warner brother
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: right with the absolutely wonderful and truly great Gilmore girl fans.

• 30:03

• 30:07
  Speaker 2: seen on TV and they wanted to be part of that.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: That was at that you know there absolutely and if
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I probably went to a convention maybe, but fortunately, fortunately
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: out in the public on the street, I get to
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: remain anonymous.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Right, and you're working over there now, right, you're over
• 30:27
