You both were laughing so hard that you were crying.
Yes.
We all on set were laughing so hard we were crying.
Oh, I hope so.
Was this just for the two of you to be back together?
Well, this is never not fun.
Yes.
It's just the most fun ever to be together, especially to do something like this.
We just laugh a lot.
Yeah.
We laugh a lot.
I don't know if we actually put a sentence together just now.
You'll see.
That made any sense at all.
But because we know we have a short hand,
so we usually don't feel the need to finish sentences.
No, it's not necessary.
It all made perfect sense.
I hope so.
It was perfect.
Do you remember the first time that you both met?
Yes, at the table read.
Table read.
Tell me about that.
White flowy blouse with a long necklace and jeans.
Hippie, hippie Phoebe.
And hair up, half up, half down.
And I would just remember reading was the sweetest person.
Everybody was so lovely.
And then everyone then spoke the words that were on the page.
Right.
And oh my God, how did this just happen to me?
How am I here?
I'm in this room.
And I think this might go for more than six episodes.
I never had a show that went for more than maybe one.
You knew that you had something special right from the start?
I knew these people were really special.
And I knew the show was really special.
So I mean, something felt special.
That it got picked up in years.
Yeah, we didn't know it back.
The back nine.
Then we got the back nine, they call it.
We got the back 11.
We did?
Yeah, it's usually 22 episodes.
Yes.
You do a pilot, then 12, and then nine more.
The back nine.
Yes.
But we got the back 11.
Every year, 24.
Wow.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
See, I forgot that.
Oh, see, I remembered something.
You did?
Thank you both so much.
This was so much fun.
Thanks for having us.
