Nepo, I snuggle.

And get him in a show right away.

Get him into a show.

Finding Nepo.

Laura, what was the first job where you, well, first of all, I do want to say, talking about the parent stuff, JB, I don't know if you know this, when you and your mom were, the first time ever, mother, daughter, child, parent, were nominated, both got Academy Award nominations for Rambling Rose, a film that I adore.

You're incredible in that movie, Laura.

And I'm going to embarrass you because I just love you so much.

So, so crazy.

Laura, what was the first thing that you did where you felt like,

Like, the first role that you had that you did, and you were like, I got it.

Like, not I got it, but you felt really good.

Like, you feel really connected to it.

Like, the first sort of meaty thing that you're like, okay, like, this is really what I want to do, and it feels good.

Did you have one of those?

On a certain level, I can't believe it.

Hearing you say it that way, JB, you realize it is all just about we all just want to connect and we all just want to connect with each other and have these shared experiences because something about that, it inspires us.

It makes us, we can relate to it.

And you go, well, you go and you, you know, at its greatest, when you go and you see something that kind of moves you in that way, having that emotional connection to that or having that shared experience, not even just with the people in the theater, but the people when you're watching it, I guess, and it's just occurring to me for the first time, maybe I'm just a slow learner.

It does, there's something about it that like,

it sort of, it stirs something in us and makes us sort of, gives us perspective on our own experience and it sort of answers questions about our own experience and all that kind of stuff.
