Yeah, right. Which I also, you know, did. Yeah, no, I was definitely not a good friend. for a long time. I didn't understand female friendship until really late in my life. And so, in some ways, this storyline is pretty far from me because I actually found friendship with women very challenging when I was a young woman, just because of the way that I was taught.

I just didn't have a relationship to what female friendship was. And so, in some ways, that was the most underexplored part for me in jumping into this friendship with these women, because I don't actually have a lot of old friends from my past like that. I don't have these holdover relationships in the same way.

And wherever you go, there you are. I mean, the point that Laurie is making is how little they've actually changed in so many ways. And also because... ostensibly because they're the same age, they're supposed to be occupying similar positions in their life in terms of their home lives or their success. And so inevitably you start to compare yourself. That's the world we're living in.

And when those women are gossiping about each other, it's all about insecurity and it's all about justifying the choices they've made and making them feel better about themselves, about where they are. finding something to cherry pick that they've done better. It's just human nature. It's the curse. It's the curse of being a human being, you know?

It sure is. And, you know, Lori's struggling with her, we think, some alcoholism, right? She's looking a little old and a little tired.

Exactly. And I think she's not doing work. We also made the choice, Rebecca Hickey and I and Michelle, my other makeup artist, we decided that Lori would also have the wrong nail color. So Lori's stuff is intentionally just a little bit off. Yeah. Right? She didn't have time to go shopping. Her hats are a little off. She didn't pack very well. She's a New Yorker.

Oh, that's so interesting. You know, I'm a middle child. I'm a middle child of five. And so I've always been... A linchpin, a harmonizer. I don't feel myself as an alpha. Now, that's not true. I can't be entirely objective about my way in the world because I was also captain of my soccer team and class president.

So clearly I am an alpha and would express myself very forcefully, but that's not the way I saw myself. And so for me, playing somebody like Bertha feels... far from me. I'm like, no, no, I'm the harmonizer. I'm the person who's bringing balance to these relationships. I'm not dominating. But that's not the way I occur to other people, I think.
