It's hilarious.

Yes.

And I mean, that's really a contractual thing.

So I was in, I think...

I don't remember how many episodes I was in the first season, but I remember it was a day-to-day thing.

I didn't have, like, a contract the first season.

I was literally a day player, guest star, day player.

But I was kind of making day player rates.

I wasn't making, like, guest star rates.

The second season, my salary was, like, a guest star rate, and I had, like, I think a seven-episode guarantee, and they ended up using me for nine episodes.

Yeah.

I was there a lot and they wrote generously for me.

I think because that my backstory episode came, it was the third episode of the show that people thought.

Yes.

During one of these teasing sessions, why you talk like that, one of the caraway boys shoved me.

I don't even remember which one.

They were interchangeably menacing figures.

This time, I couldn't keep my balance and found myself falling, hitting the gravel of the playground.

I scowled, annoyed at first, but then, looking up at them, I saw the switch flip in their eyes.

I saw that flicker of threat.
