I felt like I should ask now to see on this day of like beautiful beauty, like the earth was sort of warming up and the pink blossoms and it smelled so good. And I texted you and was like, I know it's last minute, but would you still be willing to share those pictures? Yeah, I sort of felt like I had like Molly's permission, not just yours, but to look at them that day.
And I sent him probably right over because I didn't know this. Yeah, it was so lovely. And I was looking at them before I drove the car into that scene, which is also kind of confusing to me because it's like you don't roll up crying. That's not a great moment before, right? Right. But I guess I wanted to know in my mind that. this woman's life is about to change.

And this is what the end of the story kind of looks like. And I haven't really had an experience like that ever.

I'm so glad you say that. I think, you know, one of the things I loved the most about the script was that humor isn't like a gimmick and it's not a cheat in terms of like, oh, how do I get around not feeling scared and bad? But in fact, it's that... Nikki and Molly just love each other so much.

There's just so much joy and gratitude in the fact that they have each other that they will grab at any extra joy, any extra laugh.

If it occurs. And like there's a scene where they're in the bathroom and Molly is writing in her journal and she's reading to Nikki and... you know, it's very pivotal. It's incredibly serious. It's not a joke. No one should joke about what's in that moment. And yet, because they're real people, that scene does end in a really funny way. It's kind of like, you know, Church giggles, as they say.

You know, you probably shouldn't be laughing, but you can't stop. But the comedy comes from actually being alive and not being desperate to experience something good, but just really eating up those morsels of, like... sweetness and real, real friendship.

I don't know. It just happened. I think it's first of all, it's all on the page. And then it's all in the podcast, the connection between you and Molly and then on the page, the connection between the characters of Nikki and Molly. Right.

It's to understand the character and imbue her with someone who has complete concern, complete loyalty, ever-expanding love and joy and total access to this other person. Can I get some more blankets?

Yes. Why are her hands bolted down?

And in terms of her own, Mike, what's on your hat?
