0:05If you don't stop screwing my husband, I'm going to have you deported. Mom, you were dating our pool pool? I've always been partial to our medians. The more money they got, the crazier they get. Yeah! Susan, you were talking downstairs about these table reads that would go on, so everyone obviously descriptive attracted you to these rules. And Mark Cherry's name. And well, yes, of course. Hello, Mark Cherry, would like to do the audition for part. Thank you, where do I go? So people were showing up to table reads to find out what's going on in scripts. Yes, on their off weeks. Yeah, on their off weeks or their off days, they would show up at the table read because the scripts are so hilarious on the one hand, and so full of surprises on the other hand. And when you're reading the scripts, they're page-turners. And so you definitely want to know what's going on.
0:52So if you're only in one of the scripts, you want to go and find out what's going on in the other one. And the way Mark Cherry writes too, it's that even if you're not in that particular episode, we're talking about, you know, everybody's always included. It's a really, yeah, exactly. Great. As a character named Genvieve, do you think about how Sam Teepa? I'm Teepa. And Ben Teepa. That's it. I was wondering maybe there'll be a French episode because this is really cool. They're premiering the show in Spanish and English shortly. Yes. So how is that working? Do you guys know? Well, I didn't get to do any of the dubbing into Spanish, so I'm not sure how it's working, but I think it's so exciting. I think that there's just opens it up to so many more people and to so many more viewers. And it's really wonderful. It's such an interesting thing to do.
1:38So I don't have too much time. I guess you guys want to give me the rundown really quickly. Is it in the Desperate Housewives universe? Is it not? I was a little... It's very fresh. It's very fresh. It has a different look, a different sound. The music is incredible. Different. It's fresh. That's what I can say. It's definitely a Mark Cherry show. I mean, if you liked Desperate Housewives, you're going to like this. But it is absolutely completely different. But Mark is Mark. I mean, he really... He writes beautifully for women. He gets us on a really sort of crazy level. He does. And he's so present. He's there at all the rehearsals. He's on the set and he's got such a vision. And if he gives us a note after a run through, it's spectacular. It's just what we needed to do. You know, if you play with the words, though?
2:24No. No. I'm trying to know what's like that. Yeah. Yes. No, he's doing bad acting notes. Yeah. Yes. As they should be. I mean, you know, the thing is that you get there. He doesn't just say no, you have to say it that way. It doesn't give you the reason why. I mean, he explains it. It's great. Are you ambitious? I'm not going to be a maid forever. Who's going to clean all this up?
