Well, last question. We asked Jason Isaacs who Timothy's favorite child is. correctly that he would say Piper. Piper?
Yeah.
On all levels. Yeah. Like. Afraid of becoming her, afraid of.
Yeah. Okay. Well, thank you so much for coming on the podcast. Such a delight to talk to you.
Amazing how Sarah Catherine and I are just, you know, literally the same person. Just really wonderful to connect in that way about being the same person. Yeah.
Hello, and welcome to the White Lotus official podcast companion to season three. I'm Gia Tolentino.
And later on, we're going to be talking to our favorite couple, Rick and Chelsea, Walton Goggins and Amy Lee Wood. Today, my question for you is, if you were a guest at the White Lotus, what would your sort of holistic goal be for the week? What kind of treatments would we be having?
So you would put your phone in the pouch?
I mean, I need to quiet my mind. I would say that that is also a constant need in my own life. No, but I'm like, I'm coming here. I'm being like, my goals are external. I'm trying to do yoga twice a day. I'm trying to be on the beach and get a nice tan. Mostly I would just try to be reading and talking to no one and quieting my monkey mind in that sense.
But I don't think I'd really be able to embrace the spiritual journey. I'd be just like, oh, my child's not here. I'm going to read.
OK, so episode three, the title is The Meaning of Dreams, as always, written and directed by Mike White. I love the way this one started with the tsunami dream. Yeah, I thought it was gorgeous.
Well, she also I liked how you saw how she's not entirely straightforward with either her family herself. She was like. a really intense dream. And I was like, well, you walked into a tsunami. Like, is that all?
She was like, it was dark. Our house was there. And I was like, and? And what else happened? So the tsunami being, at this point, the FBI is fully at Timothy's office.
So after this, Timothy has an extreme reaction, which is to, after resisting Pam's entreaties to give me your phones, he's suddenly like, you know what? Phones in the bag. Phones in the bag.
Yeah. Do you think that this is him standing there like – is this him standing there waiting to accept it and not fighting it? Or is it him running away from the tsunami?
Yeah, but also trying to delay it because he doesn't even want to.
And he's dipping into those benzos. Yeah.
I mean, frankly, I would be too if I were him. If I was that man and the FBI was at my office, you better believe I would be taking Xanax and hiding my phone. I thought the moment was interesting when Saxon is – the phone moment of putting all the phones in the bag, it comes when someone from the office is calling Saxon. It's leaking. It's about to leak.
And he has this one-on-one father-son chat with Saxon.
That is like full of pathos because you see how eager this – Overconfident, blustery son is to just— Just wants his father's advice and validation. And you kind of get a second of like, maybe you're actually not that good at your job either. You know what I mean? Like, oh, maybe you're a little—maybe you're slipping at work also, you know?
