Yeah, you have to know the rules before you can break them in a scene like that. And then the other scene I love is the elevator scene with Rob where he's like eating this taco and there's enough sour cream in it to like feed a whole family. And Molly just starts going in and bossing him around.

And I can't remember, was that scene fully scripted or did you guys kind of play and find like find that dynamic in the moment?

I remember being on set at one point and you guys would do a scene and then you would do a take two. And then there would be from, you know, from the sidelines, Liz or Kim say, try this line. Try this line. Had you worked ever like that before where like it was just this... like village of people giving suggestions and comedy and joke writing on the spot? No, that was new to me.

There is this fascinating arc with your character, with Neighbor Guy, because initially you're just in control. You're withholding information. You're not letting him know anything that's going on with you. And then there's the sidewalk scene. It's where you're walking down the sidewalk and it's the first time that Neighbor Guy sees you sort of outside of the apartment and sees you in the world.

And you're not feeling well. Molly's really sick at the time. And you fall. And he realizes that he needs to call 911. And that's when you tell him that you love him. and I was watching from afar and I was, I was sobbing during that scene, Michelle, because it was so moving. Molly never got that moment that I love you moment. And I just remember feeling very emotionally like tied to that scene.

And I just, um, I don't know, I just kind of spiritually felt like a sense of relief when I watched it and an emotional relief for me.

So playing Molly, there's so many contradictions in every moment, right? There's grief and there's joy and humor and heartbreak, and sometimes they're all colliding in the exact same scene, and sometimes in the same breath.

How do you hold space for all of that without one emotion overshadowing all the others that are happening?

Was there anything about Molly's sexual journey that you found surprising or shocking?

I love that. I haven't thought about that in so long. You know, she was one of those people that had really select friends. She had like three really good friends. And at first I thought maybe I was the only one that knew, right? But then when I started to communicate with these other friends, I realized that we all knew. And I think we all felt kind of the same, Michelle, like...
