And that was the beauty of it, where we could be live and real and expressive without worrying about going over someone else's line for sound or for stitching them up for reacting too loud or whatever it was, which gave everything a lot of aliveness and energy.
It was challenging in its expectations, but rewarding because of that. I think the challenges were we were all on a boat in the East River. I can't remember if that was docked at that point. I think we were docked at that point. But you know, you're on a boat, you're at close quarters. Mark had decided as a group with Jesse and everybody to shoot that sequence as like a one take.
And so each time we did that scene, it was a 29 minute take from that room and then up onto the next level, following Jeremy up, Kendall up, and then coming back down. And then we would go up into the top level room and Yeah, it was hard. It was hard. We shot it over two days, though, that sort of sequence.
Yeah, I made a choice to do that on this one particularly because... particularly on that discovery moment, the lines that Jesse had written. This particular speech, I really wanted to learn exactly as he'd written with all the ellipses and the hyphens and the stuttered thoughts. I wanted to do it exactly as it was because it was so simple, the way he'd created that.
And I really could see that there were thoughts that she couldn't finish and there were things that were too difficult to be said. And she's going between all these sort of emotions. And
Like, I'm going to get dehydrated in a sort of practical sense because I'm going to be crying and I'm not going to be refueling enough with water. I'm going to get desensitized to the fact of my father dying. So I was doing stupid stuff to actively put myself into a different space.
And part of that came from being inspired by working with a young actress called Lily Latour in Australia on a film called Run, Rabbit, Run. And Dealing with really heavy things and dealing with really big scenes and seeing her ability to go into the scene, to be fully present, fully active, and then because she was using her imagination, because she was a kid, when they called cut, she was out.
She was doing cartwheels, she was doing other things. It was a real eye-opening moment to go like, oh, we're elastic. If you work hard enough, you can be elastic. If you lean on your imagination enough, you can come in and you can come out. You just have to be...
maybe as an adult, mindful of how you do it because you don't want to shortchange your performance, but to trust that there is that ability to do that.
That's so weird to listen to, hearing it back. I feel so sorry for them because you can hear it from more of an objective side. You're like, oh, no, you're such broken people. Yeah, filming that was so fun working with Matthew. He's so present and generous as an actor. He's so giving. but we rehearsed a little bit the night before, and so when we came in, it was really just like in us, I guess.
And all the kind of the well of pent-up aggression, the things that we've never been able to yell at each other or been able to say as Shiv and Tom was really there, like all the, oh, it's really just deep subterranean in them and really fun to have a go at each other because they don't argue well.
As a couple, they never really had good arguments that would clear the air or see another person's point of view. But here, they really go for each other's throats. And that was really fun. I mean, I think I just told everyone that I was pregnant as Sarah at that point.
Yeah. It's just a horrible, horrible scene. And so, again, so well written. And that's the wonderful bedrock of this show.
Yeah, it was very picturesque. And I felt rural. But looking at it now and looking on Google Maps, it's like 30 minutes from the center of the city. It's so close to the center of the city. It's crazy. But this national park is so beautiful. I guess Australia has a real wonderful blurred line between nature and metropolis or city.
Yeah. At one point, she was distributing Disney VHS, so she got to bring home a bunch of those, and I loved them. I really just repeated those all the time. I had... Snow White, Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Lion King, Aladdin, just on repeat in my house, yeah.
Yeah, you know, there's a part of me, the feminist in me is like, oh, but if you watch Disney films, you might end up wanting to be
a princess and being saved by a prince and a princess can save herself you know like sure I mean that that is true but also I grew up watching those films and I was the one who came out of that going like great I want to be the genie I want to be Jafar I want to be a Yago I want to be Ursula I want to be Scar I want to be Simba I want to be all the like the characters who go and do stuff and who are funny and strange and weird and get great musical numbers
