So I'm curious, like, what are the things that you saw in us that like, you're like, you know what we should write towards? Because so-and-so already is sort of living in this place already that might help to sort of evolve the character even further. Oh, that's interesting. That's a hard question. I'm trying to think of it.

What is it like for you all in terms of writing scripts? And I know they'll go through the script and they'll go line by line or scene by scene and everybody will give notes on what they think should change and what plays, what doesn't. So it's very sort of scrutinized sort of thing. I'm interested in your take on actors who don't say the fucking words. Do you like that? Do you not like that?

But I'm saying like, is it a strong, because I'm sure it also varies from set to set. And I want to say this, like, if you're on a Sorkin set, you're going to say the line.

To the comma. A very young, very sort of skittish 25-year-old girl will come up to you and say, hi, sorry, but you said this and you were supposed to say that. If you were on Amy Sherman Palladino, you're going to say what's there. So I'm curious for you guys with Dan and whatnot, what kind of rules did you guys have for yourselves in terms of latitude versus not latitude?

And right to right, papers flying. Exactly, exactly. I can remember one time where we had like a little bit, there was this tension. It was season three. There wasn't huge tension. It was the argument between, it was an argument between Beth and Randall. And there was a joke at the end of it that sort of undercut everything to try to diffuse the tension. And I remember it was one of you two guys.
