But as a result, like so much of the comedy on the show is generated from people being huge assholes. And Belinda just never gets the chance to be a huge asshole. And it is incredibly fun to watch beginning with that negotiation scene where you think Belinda is walking out for real. And she's actually like, no, make him think I'm nuts. You know? Yeah. And I wonder if you could talk about that.
