Praying for Rain • EP307

Paul Johansson directed this OTH epIsode and we're dishing the details. Deb & Karen turn into vandals, Peyton gets a break from the weepies, and Haley is making us all cringe. 

Memories are the theme of this episode as they're being made, erased, grieved and it's all tied together with a cameo from The Notebook. A film which, incidentally, featured our very own Paul Johnasson. AND, fun fact, Joy was so inspired by The Notebook when she first saw/read it that she couldn't rest until she had turned it into a full-fledged, produced, staged musical (which starred OTH "movie Lucas" Paul Teal as Noah). 

We'll share 5 demos of Joy's original songs inspired by this epic story!!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh hello everyone, Hi Joy, Hello, Hi Johi, Hi hillarys
hanging out in the backyard or doing something fun. I know, well,
this is the second best thing, being able to get
you to see you face to face again. I love
when we hang out together. I wish Sophia was here,
As everybody knows, Sophia is off um having wonderful married moments,

(00:23):
and we are um holding down the fort gladly. Like
I love that she is off having romance. Um. Yeah,
me too, and just kind of celebrating because we have
all certainly been through it together as our characters in
this episode, as as you and Haley, Haley and Brook

(00:47):
hold each other during these moments of turmoil. We love
holding each other up when we get to celebrate good
stuff too. So that's what's this episode about. So we've
got what is it? It's uh, I don't even know
the name of it. This is the Champagne one, I guess.
So again, Okay, so you guys, last week it felt
like a standalone episode. We explained what a spec script was.

(01:08):
I feel like this one did too, Like, yeah, it
totally felt like a bottle episode. Did anything advance? The
only thing that advanced is maybe Brooks clothing line. So yeah,
let's give him the rundown and then let's talk. Can't
all right? It's episode Season three, episode seven, Champagne for
My Real Friends, Real Pain for My Sham Friends. Air
date November sixteen, two thousand five, two thousand five. Oh

(01:32):
my gosh, it seems so long ago. Is The draft
results are in and everyone goes on a date with
their pick. Nathan and Haley devil date with Brooke and
Chris Keller, which ends in a big mistake. Mouth brings
Peyton to a senior home to visit his grandpa, mel
and learns a lesson in regret. Rachel and Lucas play

(01:56):
basketball sort of at the river Court. Karen and Deb
get their revenge John Dan's Billboard. Yeah, Paul directed this episode.
Um yeah, I think he did the best he could
with the material. I thought this was a really boring episode,
to be honest. Yeah, I mean I liked your storyline
with Mouth. That was interesting to me because I'm that

(02:21):
working with Tom Bosley was really cool. That's one of
those things you know, in the moment, you're like, oh, yeah,
like this is an icon. Happy Days was a huge
deal When I was a kid, even though it was
in reruns, and so it feels very meta to have
our show live in like reruns now like streaming and

(02:43):
kids be like, oh, we watch your old timey show
the way like Tom Bosley came on our show and
we were like, oh my god, I totally watch Ironic
one day we will be Tom Bosley. Um, that's right,
but he was. It was so great to see him,
and he was so sweet, like, I'm sorry, I'm yawning
so much. Guys. I think I just said this was

(03:04):
a sleepy episode. Music. Yeah, that's right, a lot of
slow music and nothing really advancing the storylines. Everything just
kind of like, well, I guess Brook slept with Chris Keller,
but that's the illusion anyway. I think, doesn't it come
out tomorrow or in the next episode that he just
like crawled into bed next to her when she fell asleep,

(03:27):
but think all the time that such a creep. Yeah.
I the whole episode took place at night, but it
wasn't like a fun club night at Trick. It was
everybody on dates they didn't want to be on, except
for Peyton and Mouth like that was you know fine. Yeah,
everybody else just kind of seemed disappointed the whole episode,

(03:50):
and maybe that's what we're feeling. Maybe we're like absorbing
the character's disappointment. I know I think so well. But
I like the way this episode started with all the
like dream sequences. That was funny. Yeah. We started off
with broken Lucas in bed fake out, and then it's

(04:14):
Lucas and Chris Keller in bed, which is Haley's dream
fake out. And then Haley crawls into bed with Brooke
and it's a dream, it's Nathan's dream. It's a total
fake out. Yeah, that was a fun way to start. Yeah,
it was I liked that. Um, it was very and
then Brooke was like so aggressively angry with Rachel again

(04:35):
for existing. Have you ever been that mad at someone
that you just met? No, I'm trying to be probably
joy have I come on? I mean I get annoyed
with for sure. I've definitely been annoyed with people I
just met, but not like openly hostile hostile. I try

(04:58):
to keep my hostility, you know, and buried until I
get home and then I have to vent to my
poor husband, and I'm like and another thing, and then
she did this more thing. No, Brooke is so blatant
with her hostility. Is that a youth trying I'm just
trying to think if at any point in my life

(05:19):
it's been that aggressive, or if that is just the
way that adults script teenage girls, you know what I mean,
It's like teenach girls are bitches. Was leaning into it,
I mean, whatever the lines were, she was like fully
leaning into it, and that was great. I mean, I
like the choice. I think it's really funny. It's a
nice flaw for Brooke to have good comedy. But yeah,

(05:40):
but then again, clearly Rachel is trying to uh steal
her man sot it. I don't know, man, Rachel asked
so many times, is this your boyfriend? Is this your boyfriend?
Are you going to pick him? And then Brooks sends

(06:01):
him to ask her out, and she's like, why is
this brook girl messing with me? Either she doesn't want
me to date this guy or she does want me
to date this guy. But now I know I'm a
target and I'm gonna mess with her back. Yeah, she
makes perfect sense. Well, we've got the fake out in
the beginning. Let's talk about suburban filth. The idea of
a kid designing clothes in high school. It's a good deal.

(06:27):
It's a very big deal. Is it realistic? I guess maybe.
Like I remember when this storyline started with Brooke and
I was like, she's designed and clothes in high school.
This is crazy. And now we've got kids on the
internet like YouTube, and I guess not YouTube but Instagram
and stuff like kids who are designing. But I think
I'd never heard of such a thing. When we were

(06:48):
doing this storyline. It was like what And that was
you know. One of the one of the first jobs
I applied for, the first job A ever wanted to do,
was window dressing. I wanted to go dress the mannequins
in the store, but I wasn't sixteen, so they wouldn't
let me work there. And the the other one I
wanted to do was fix up classic cars, but I

(07:10):
had to be eighteen for that so they wouldn't either.
But um, I really went hard after the window dressing thing.
I I went to, um, Joyce Leslie, do you remember
that store? What is that? Is that a New Jersey
thing or it's like a I think it might be
a New Jersey or Century twenty one? Sure? Oh yeah,

(07:30):
oh yeah, all the store I just walked around the neighborhood.
I went back to French Connection in Banana Republic and
the Gap and I was like, I just want to
window dress, That's all I want to do. And they
all thought I was super cute but ignored me. So
we'll show them that dream out. I know because I
was thinking about going to school to be a fashion

(07:50):
designer at one point in my Yeah, absolutely, I loved.
I had this dress form in my bedroom and uh,
it was just a little mannequin which I named mary
Anne after my daughter was born, and she would she
couldn't say mannequins, so she would always refer to it
as the Mary Anne. Is that the mary Anne? Is

(08:11):
that your dress of the Mary Anne? I remember their
dress form because you were also like there was a
point where you made your own lingerie, like you made
a ball and I was like, girl, what you made
a lot of clothes when we were doing this. I
love I love sewing. I would like to take a
real course because I'm I make a lot of Maria's

(08:32):
Halloween costumes and I'm I can fix things, but I'm
not I don't know how to read a pattern or
I mean, maybe you could teach me how to do that.
You're great with a sewing machine. Well, I was in
Future Homemakers of America and I was treasurer of Future
Homemakers of America my middle school chapter. So um il yeah,

(08:56):
but I also have like zero taste joy. So if
you bring like the fabric selections and like what it's
gonna look like, I'll teach you how to do the
mechanical that's super easy. Oh my god, I love that.
That's the thing. I don't know how to use a pattern.
It's so I get it's it's always a little wonky,
but I'm like, it's got enough for kids Halloween costumes.
So I just kind of, you know, lean into it.

(09:25):
But yeah, I wanted to be a fashion designer and
east to I have books and books and books of
just sketches. That's all I would do is sit around
and sketch outfits and dresses and big gowns and lingerie
and all kinds of fun stuff. Um and then uh,
I never just well, I mean I had to either
go to school. I was also like criminal psychologist or
a marine biologist or fashion designer. You know. It's kind

(09:47):
of the fun part about being in high school, right,
what are the other things you wanted to do when
you were in high school? Well, I went to school
for psychological forensics. I went to FORDAM at Lincoln Center
because they also have the law school there, so it's
like right by on J School of Criminal Justice. I
just to go drinking with the boys from John Jay.
And you know, how many years did you do that?
Did you get a degree? No? I went for two

(10:09):
full years, and then I transferred to n y U. S.
Gallaton School. And by then MTV was working me so much.
I was like, why am I spending all this money
on school? Oh? My gosh, I didn't know that Forensic psychology.
The psychology stuff has been very helpful as an actor,
you know what I mean, Like for sure, because once

(10:30):
you understand how that brain ticks, you're like, oh, all right,
I see what you're doing here, um. And that's for
yourself figuring out a character, and also for figuring out
the people that you have to work with in the
film industry because everyone's bat um. But then the criminology
part of it was it was really interesting because what

(10:53):
I grew up learning in Virginia, you know, with your
family being like watch out for this, watch out for that,
it was totally wrong, Like, you know, living in New
York City, learning the reality behind like criminology and like
how crimes happen, where they happen, who typically commits them. Um.
It was a good lesson because I was less afraid.

(11:15):
Most stuff is like domestic crime, you know, and we
deal with some of that on our show, you know,
like there's there's a little bit of it on our show. Um,
But anytime it's like a total stranger committing a crime
on a TV show or movie, I'm like, that doesn't happen.
It's almost that's interesting. Knowledge is power? Man. I didn't.

(11:37):
I didn't ever think about that in the context of
understanding crime. But that's true. Is that Apparently that's really
serving you still because you're doing your show. Um, is it?
This couldn't happen here? It's called it couldn't happen here? Yeah,
I mean, it couldn't happen here. Look, when we lived
in Wilmington's, I was fixated on crimes that were happening
on like local news. How next door to mine was

(12:01):
getting renovated and the guys working on it found bones
in the backyard and they didn't call the police. They
were like, hey, lady, come over here and look at this,
you know, comes get your bones. I'm like, oh you guys,
Brownly calls somebody. Um, yeah, I was. I was always
into it, and you know, you always want to do

(12:21):
more than just what you're doing. I think we all
feel that way. We always wanted to be more than
what we were at the moment. So yeah, I feel
like Sophia really leaned into this fashion storyline while we
were in it because she really, I mean, she was
going to fashion show, she was making friends with designers,
she was really educating herself about it in a way

(12:44):
that was kind of intimidating for me. I was like,
what are you wearing? I don't know how to say
that me too. Sophia was also spending all of her
money on boxes and boxes of clothes that would just
like these giant boxes would always arrive and appear at
her trade alert and just load just loading them all
in every day, one right after the other. Because she
was very she was she was educating herself on that world.

(13:07):
And of course now she owns a company, fashion Kind
with a friend of hers, and they are selling incredible
like sustainable fashion and it's awesome. Listen. I don't know
anything about fashion, but but I do know is I
fall down the rabbit hole of her website and I'm
just like, this is gorgeous. I need ten of them. Yeah,
me too. I know the curation is impeccable. Yeah, George

(13:31):
likes fashion. Are you wearing your Sonic clothes right now? Yeah?
She's going through a big Sonic the Hedgehog fashion phase.
So I love kids fashion. That's my favorite is when
kids you just let them do whatever they want. It's
so fun because Maria used to. I remember one time
I told her we were going to church and she
didn't want to go, and I was taking to take

(13:51):
her to like a really a Catholic mass forum. Yeah,
I mean formal enough that you you know, you dressed nice.
And I said, I think she was probably six Yep,
she was six or seven at this time. And I said, um, okay,
we're gonna go to church. She didn't want to go
to church, and I was like, honey, we're going. I
want to go to this, so get get dressed. You

(14:12):
have five minutes. And I turned over my little sand
what are they called our glass time alas, I have
multiple hour glasses we have a half hour, a fifteen minute,
at ten minute, and a five minute, so that it's
great for kids brains because they can see the time
running out. It's on a digital clock. It's just numbers
counting down. It's not your brain. I mean, my kid's

(14:35):
brain is not um as easily adaptable to that as
to our glass. Anyway. So I set the timer for
her and she comes out in a leopard miniskirt with
like leg warmers and sparkle shoes and a tank top.

(14:55):
Oh no, no, it was a leotard, tank top, leotard
underneath it with a glitter a glitter um vest and
you know, and sunglasses and a big sequin band in
her hair. And she was like, this is how I
feel like where, this is what I feel like. We're
in a church. Jesus is gonna see me today, that's right.

(15:18):
So I love kids fashion. Anyway, how do we get there? Yeah? Yeah,
close over, bros. That's what's coming because of this, I think,
because her idea gets stolen. Suburban filth. I do like
that that name, yeah, I mean, it's so it's so
late nineties, early two thousand's, like I'm from the suburbs.
But I'm also very edgy. It sounds like the name

(15:41):
of a department store on a TV show, is what
it sounds. Yeah, yeah, And it's definitely at the mall.
Favorite line of the episode. Hailey is all upset about
the houses being built where her marriage spot was and
in all serious z like Haley's tearing up. Brook looks

(16:03):
over and goes, let's just go to the mall. It's okay,
It's okay, honey, Let's just go to the mall. That
was gold you said it. It's the most teenage line
I've ever heard. It's so teenage. The next time something
bad is happening in one of our lives, like the

(16:23):
next time, like I call you and I'm like, hey,
my dog DoD, I just need you to say, that's okay,
Let's just go to the mall. Oh god, another T shirt.
I hope somebody's marking down all these T shirt requests.
We just need to have a streamlined how all these

(16:49):
T shirts? Genius? You know what? She didn't say with
a straight face. When Chris Keller shows up at the
apartment and she has just gone on this rant about
like I will never hang out with Chris, and then
she opens the door Keller, and he goes off on
his whole little rant and then breezes past her. Y'all

(17:12):
better go back and watch that, because Sophia, for the
life of her, cannot keep her nostrils from flaring and
that little grin from sneaking in. It's so good. That
was the Jerry Seinfeld moment. Yeah, she's just like, I
can't with this din stop her from laughing. It's hard
not to laugh when Tyler's doing his thing. He's so
committed to it. He's so committed, and I loved working

(17:37):
with him for that reason, because he could say the
craziest stuff and somehow he kept a straight face. I'm
terrible at that. I think it's why I could. I
really can't do improv, because did you do improv growing up?
I did a little bit, but not not a lot.
I um, I really struggle with improv. I prefer to

(17:59):
have lines down. I'm I'm just not like A. I
don't know. I don't consider myself a super quick witted
person in conversation and stuff. I'm more of a Having
been drinking with you recently, you are wrong, very quick,

(18:20):
very well, thanks, but I I know what you're saying,
because I saw in myself in this episode Peyton Hillary,
Little Hillary can do the like serious stuff like I've
got this birth mother that's got cancer and I don't
but me having to like be light and breezy and

(18:40):
like hey mouth, let's go ride go card. So hey
ha ha. I'm not a good fake laugher. I am
not good at um. I just see it. Oh no,
I believed every second. But I thought you were having
a ball and I was like, it's so nice to
see Peyton laughing and happy, and I thought you were great.

(19:01):
You really were, Like I'm faking it? Were you miserable
that day? Remember? Writing the go karts was was fun
and Tom Bosley is fun, but like the stuff on
the quad and oh that was rough, and like the
lead up to it where it's all like a little expository. Yeah,
we're just like trying to explain what are we gonna do,
why we're about to have this episode? Yeah, what are

(19:24):
we doing now? Um? I can always tell that any
time I have to be lighthearted Peyton, there's a little
bit of a can't I just be growly about something
that's so much? Why? Why is that? I don't know?
Maybe because Peyton had to cry for the whole first

(19:44):
two years that now in year three they're like, yeah, yeah,
go be a kid. I'm just like, but um laughter weird. Yeah,
I can laugh as other characters. I just struggle with
Peyton being like giggly. Yeah. It was nice to see
Nathan softening up. I mean, I still cringe. Haley is

(20:07):
just trying so hard and it's it's cringe e, it's
cringe E. And the stuffy says when he's like, Haley,
I know where we got married, I know what our
history is, like, let it go, Let's just be in
the present. I felt that that was uncomfortable, so brutal,

(20:27):
so brutal. She's a kid, she doesn't know how to
deal with this or go through this or But I'm
glad that he kind of threw her a line at
the end to let her know that he still loves her.
With the flower that looked freshly picked but clearly had
been in his pocket all day, why don't we fixate
on that? Why why do we do that? Joy At

(20:49):
the same time, we're both like, that hasn't been in
his pocket for two hours, because you and I both
have picked flowers and put them in our pockets and
then taken them out at the end of the day.
Sometimes I take my broth and I'm like, what's that
doing in there? Whatever? Nipples and flowers? No, what did

(21:11):
he say? He said, he wrote down his own prediction
right and said, and Hailey's like, how do you know
I'm not going to go, you know, take a sneak
at this. He's like, I guess I'll just have to
trust you, which is basically his way of signaling like
I'm I'm trusting you. You know, we're going to use

(21:32):
her more opportunities. It's flowers of metaphor. But I was
kind of hoping they would show you looking at it.
I know, No, I no, no, I don't. I understood that.
I like, I really respected and trusted that um moment
emotionally with them. I thought that was really beautiful and
it felt good watching it to know that he was

(21:55):
telling her it's it's not all gone, it's not hopeless,
it's just taking time, because that in and of itself
is such a huge sign, good sign hopeful communication. Yeah,
of like the roots aren't gone. I loved that. Yeah, Well,
like because you guys had so much stuff just by yourselves, Um,

(22:20):
you're on the rooftop, you're out on the balcony. You know,
like there's a lot of stuff where you guys are
just off by yourself. I don't know how you prep
for that, because your stuff was always so like serious.
Did you guys sit around and talk in between scenes
or did you kind of go into your bubbles so
that you would be super focused when they yelled action.

(22:41):
I think we talked some. I mean James is always
reading some classic novel that he was catching up on,
like The Old Man in the Sea or The Great
gats Beers Dick or whatever he was reading. He was
always reading one of those. Uh. I don't know. I
think we just were really it was easy. It was
so you know, we've had been king together so closely
for so long that it's it was always pretty easy. Um.

(23:06):
I don't know that we've really spent a lot of
time chit chatting. I don't think James and I are
either of us are very chit chatty people. I think
we tend to go for the meat and potatoes of
meaningful conversation. You both are like, tell me what you
think about God? Yeah, how do you feel about politics?

(23:27):
Let's geta is actually really uncomfortable with those conversations with
but but he also doesn't really like small talk, so
but he likes I think he likes those conversations when
he's super super comfortable. I just don't know that on
set feels like the right place to drive into those
spaces for him. So I don't know. I mean, I
don't know. I'm talking out of my ask. We should

(23:48):
have James on and actually ask him ourselves. Yeah, you're
but you're right. He was always trying to educate himself, yes,
which I liked Watch chain. Does that sound creepy? That
was inspiring? Yeah. Yeah. Kid always would just go back
to his chair and start reading a book and be

(24:09):
hyper focused on that and then be able to flip
the switch and be hyper focused um in the scene.
But I was always only working with him when they
were like a lot of people around, so I didn't
know if that was just a crowd thing or if
that was always No, I think that's just his way. Um.
It's just kind of quiet and reserved, and then when

(24:30):
he's off work and relaxed and around his friends, he
lets his guard down. Um, which is a lovely quality
for a professional, for an actor, to be able to
not have your extroverted self um in everybody else's space
or in you know, in a work environment, not getting

(24:51):
caught up in the drama. It's a great quality. That's
been my life lesson. Like once I left treatment and
I would go work with grown ups on other things,
I'd go home and be like, oh my god, I
talked too much? Oh my god, what did I say.
I feel the same way. I'm always walking away from
conversations like God, I'm so annoying. Oh why did I
say that? And Haley does that this whole episode. She's

(25:13):
just like, I don't even think anything awesome was gonna happen.
I'm god, I dressed self flagellation, just brutal. He's brutal well.
And to have Chris Keller there is your audience while
you're feeling like a nerd. Do you know what I

(25:37):
noticed in this episode a little bit is that Tim
and Chris Keller are two wings on the same bird,
like we Because Tim at the beginning of the episode
is all like boy, draft, who picked me? What's going on? Ladies?
Where's our dates? You know? And he just disappears missaw

(26:00):
genistic and kind of like a dork. And then Chris
Keller is also super misogynistic and a dork. He's just
already graduated high school and a little bit older than us. Yeah.
Do we ever get scenes with the two of them
that might have made people's head exempted. Who that's a
lot of dumb and cheek in the same Like I

(26:26):
feel like they're the divorced dad's now it's a lot
of kitchen in one space. Yeah, they're the dads at
the playground on Sundays with the kids. This is my weekend.
Oh god, right, we know that we're friends with How
about skills in Bevin? How fun was that? Well? How
fun is this Easter egg of the Notebook? Him? Oh,

(26:51):
it's so fun? Well, a because Cullen Moss was in
the Notebook, so that was kind of a fun little
extra thing. But it was shot in Charleston, near us,
so we had a lot of our crew and cast
that were, you know, back and forth on that movie.
Also because uh, the director of this episode, Mr Paul Johansson,
was in the Notebook as Ali's mom's old boyfriend who

(27:14):
she didn't end up with, which is why she's trying
to convince her daughter not to marry the poor boy.
Of course we would be snobby. Just driving by that
manual labor camp wherever Paul was working. I thought he
looked hot like he was at do Better Joan Allen.

(27:34):
And then it's also fun because for those of you
who don't know this out there, I was super, super
super moved by this film when I saw it. Um,
I kind of couldn't get up and leave the theater
for about fifteen minutes after it was over. I was
just weeping into my shirt and um So, I ended

(27:56):
up writing a musical for Stay Age on spec of
the Notebook, and I wrote it. It took me like
four years, and at the end of four years, I
sent it to Nicholas Sparks and uh he let me
produce a staged version of the Notebook my musical in Wilmington's.

(28:19):
Um So that was really really fun and I was
just so grateful. Was the second musical I've ever written,
and we got to cast it and we performed it
at Thalien Hall Um. It was one of the most
amazing experiences of my life to be able to work
with I kind of co directed. We had Judy green Hunt,

(28:40):
who was a wonderful theater director from New York, and
so she was our director, and I was just there
every day and talking everybody through all the parts and
those songs, and and I wrote the music with Ron
and Yellow, who is now Bruce Springsteen's producer. He's done
his last like, uh, I don't know five five to
eight albums, I think, um and uh yeah, actually I

(29:05):
have I have a SoundCloud. You think, should I play
one of the songs right now from the notebook? Me
thinks we shall. I think we should. Okay, hold on,
let me share my screen. Joined This is like a
fun twist of events. I wasn't even expecting, you know what. Yeah,

(29:26):
let's do it though, let's do it. Um, okay, listen,
here's kind of what would be like the big pop
song of the episode. Let's see if we can hear it. Yeah,
I can hear it. Breathe then breathe out standing, but
on my knees, breathe in, breathe out speaking, but my

(29:53):
heart say so, th boots search searching a million moments.
It's before this he got some goose my joy. I

(30:17):
would stand beside you as you darken the's door. We
go in Gun's place and bring that temple chiss knees. Oh,
there's some strange power. Can you and me, let's produce

(30:41):
this again? We heaven beater and taking in my heart
beating reading and with one look there's like a very
faith hill like Shania twain Field to this, like just

(31:03):
like we country icon female queen pitching a million moment
and for our years all more. I would stand side
you as you're dark and dat we go in God's

(31:27):
pleas and bring that devil to his name. And there
was some strange past in you, and I mean it's

(31:49):
super musical theater. Every whispern within time year, my love,
just turn every whisperingly. I would weigh a thousand years

(32:17):
or more. I would stand aside as we talk cotest
to we're going on plaz and brain n tell little
with means this side strange po strange power. Can you

(32:45):
and me so fun to hear this stuff? This is

(33:23):
the only place we can hear this right now? Right
it is actually yes, I feel sail. Oh that was
so fun. So is your Noah? Oh my gosh for Broadway,
I mean tarn Edgerton right, Like, how not have Taron

(33:46):
Edgerton playing no Way? He's the best or maybe somebody new.
Are you going to discover the next big thing I
could do? Okay, here's something else that's kind of fun.
Alison Mutton, who is also a remote arkable singer, she
leads this song, um number seven. This is like one
of the nightclub songs when they're all in the nightclub

(34:08):
and like doing a big swing dance on stage and
all the soldiers and the and the the soldiers are
on one side of the stage and uh, go it.
Finn is there and no one they've just enlisted in
the army. And on the other side of the stage
is the nightclub and Ali is meeting Lawn and his parents,
and so it's like two things happening on stage at

(34:29):
the same time. Um. So here's a little bit of
Alison Munt singing for our notebook soundtrack. Alright, so it's
number seven. Hold my heart, Hold my heart, and don't
let's go for you know very well you have caught
me in your web. You've got me under your spell.
I don't I don't know who I am well to

(34:51):
touch me? Don't you understand your archists? Or the rush
of your head makes me lose my EQUILIBRIU, my dear
when you're whispering in my ear for you know very
well you've got me under yoursell it so cute. Surely

(35:16):
maybe this is what we go back and do in
Wilmington's Do we need to contact the Allion Hall and
be like, hello, friends were doing a reunion tour. Wouldn't
that be fun? I would love to. Sadly, the rights
actually don't belong to me anymore. Somebody else swooped him
up during a There was a long stretch where um,
they were Warner Brothers held the rights to the film

(35:38):
and I held the rights to the book, and so
there was a lot of stuff in the movie that
wasn't in the book that you would want to have
on stage. And it was just like so much you know,
once lawyers get involved at all, just falls apart. Yeah, yeah,
So unfortunately somebody else has the rights. I think, Um,
Kevin McCollum, who's a wonderful Broadway producer. Um, it's taking

(36:00):
that over and Ingrid Michaelson is writing some new music
for the show that they're going to do, Um, their
own version of it in Chicago. I think maybe this fall. Um,
So you know, it's cool to see that my idea
is still living on and having a life of its own.
It's a heartbreak for sure. I mean I spent like
five years of my blood, sweat and tears pouring into

(36:22):
that story. And the fact that, um, we had amazing,
like really seasoned Broadway producers who were ready. They came
down to Wilmington's and saw the show. They saw our
local cast, and they loved the show. And it wasn't perfect.
It's a little long, some of the songs needed to
be changed, we needed a few more pop songs, but whatever,

(36:42):
Like the bones were all really there and they loved it.
They were ready to do it. They were like, let's
get this off the ground. Um. And unfortunately the people
who were in charge of holding the property making the
decision about who was going to take on the mantle
of this the name of the notebook, which was epic
at the time. I mean it still is. Um, they

(37:04):
never saw my show and they didn't listen to the music.
They just or I think they were just afraid that
I was like twenty three, and you know, now it's
cool to be twenty three and writing a Broadway show,
but back then it was just terrifying, and everybody thought,
you know, she's never done anything. The Notebook is a
huge name and she's not. Um Ron obviously now is

(37:25):
producing for Springsteen and winning Grammy's, but back then wasn't,
and so we just didn't have the street crend that
I think the powers that be wanted whoever took over
the Notebook to have, and so they just never listened
to the music, never read the script, never heard the show,
and just passed it on to somebody else. UM, And
that sucked. It was really hard. But I did learn

(37:49):
a couple of things. One of them is that I
have to stand up for myself more because I tried.
I really tried to get them to listen to it
and to and to read it. But I didn't try
hard enough. I could have done more. I was just
too afraid. And I've learned that lesson since then, that
you just if you believe in something, and if it's

(38:09):
if it's coming from you and it's you're passionate about it,
it's your art. Like nobody else is going to fight
for you the way that you will, you have to
go after it. And so that was really valuable. And
then also learning that, um, I have good ideas, you know,
I created that I did it. I went for it. Um,
it's in somebody else's hands now, but I got that

(38:31):
ball rolling. That was my idea. And so to have
the confidence that in the next thing that I create
and do, to know that my ideas are good and
they sell and they'll work, Um, that was good, you know.
So anyway, it's just cool to see that that is
living on and having a life of its own. That's
kind of cool. Well did you so when you saw
this movie though, because I remember having also a very

(38:55):
big reaction to this movie. Did you ever did anyone? Oh?
I don't think I did. That's not what I heard.
That's not what I heard. What I heard I heard

(39:16):
you made Tyler watch The Notebook and it affected him.
That's actually totally probably true. I don't remember, but I
think watch like while you guys were out on tour,
and he was maybe when we were on tour, he
was like, she's so deep, man, so deep? Oh yeah,

(39:39):
I mean I never did it like Bevin did it.
But the truth is I was ready to force anyone
to watch this movie because it changed my life. Those
two hours changed my life. It reminded me in a
time when I was honestly pretty hopeless about love, and
I had basically given up on the idea of that overwhelming,
all consuming loving, no matter what, self sacrificial, even when

(40:01):
it's hard, kind of love. And when I saw this
film and then read the book immediately after, something was
unlocked inside of me. That was just this a flood
of passion and hope and it didn't stop. It was
like reawakening those young dreams that we had in high school.
You know, I mean, didn't you did you ever have
that boy that that boy that when you were younger,

(40:22):
like just evoked all of those dreams and feelings in you.
So in real life, in real life, when I wasn't working,
I would just go drive around in rural, rural North
Carolina and go find like old abandoned houses and things.
And there was someone in town. I was in a relationship.

(40:43):
So this other person and I were never going to
work out ever, but it was very like, I love
your art, I am attracted to your your essence, your
spirit so so impressive. Um. Yes, And we decided upon
this like abandoned house in the middle of nowhere, and
he was like, I'm either going to fix it up,

(41:05):
I'm gonna burn it down and so for years. Sometimes
I would just like drive past it and be like, Okay,
well he hasn't burned it down. Um, I guess we're
so good. Um. But it was a very It was
such a rip off from this movie. It was just like, yeah,
we're giving your own story. We're going to fix up

(41:26):
the old house and have this sordid Carolinian romance. Um
fun man. Southern Southern romances are just unbeautiful to me.
I think there's something so sweet about it. You've got
the Spanish moss hanging off the trees and their hot
air and the fireflies at night and water warm rain

(41:51):
and the small town feel. There's just nothing as romantic
to me as the South. Never will be well Hayley
says in this episode, she goes, I'm just wishing it
would rain rain. Yeah for that first kiss. See there

(42:15):
you go, first kiss in the rain. It was kind
of notebookie. It was I love that Bevan did that
to Skills. It was really cute. I loved watching Antoine
and her have such great chemistry in this episode. But
they were both outstanding. Um, and you know, I can't
believe we got the rights to Nicholas Sparks Like brought

(42:39):
his son to set, right, Yeah, yeah, that we felt
real cool. We'd arrived. We had no idea people watched
our show because we were in North Carolina. So when
you know, yeah, celebrity writer comes to set, We're like what, Oh,
we were very excited about that. Yes, Nicholas Sparks is

(43:00):
the most popular author on the planet in that moment,
because the Notebook had like catapulted him, and so when
he came to set, we were all just in awe
that he or his kids were even remotely interested in us.
And I can tell you, um, through inventing the musical,
I became really good friends with Nick and he's actually

(43:21):
such a smart, deeply kind hearted person. And one of
the things I think is really cool about him is
that he's so curious. He's such a curious person, and
I love that because I don't know, I feel like
we're living in a time right now where curiosity has
been pushed aside in favor of UM. I guess everybody's

(43:46):
sort of looking out for themselves, like making sure that
uh no one is offending them and making sure that
everybody's doing everything right. This sort of like mental policing
has taken over and I miss the days of curiosity
when you really were interested in why another person thought
the way that they thought, or function the way that

(44:08):
they function. Because so much great art comes from listening
and just being curious. Um. And I think it's absolutely
integral to being an artist and especially a writer. UM.
So anyway, I just wanted to mention that. But, UM,
one thing that we haven't talked about yet is Rachel.
Can we talk about Rachel? Um, let's talk about the

(44:28):
Rachel of it all, because and we have talked about
Barbara and Moira too. Oh that's right, that's right. Um,
Rachel is all of us in this moment, because she says,
do you really think there's one person in this world
who's right for you? You're in high school? You also

(44:49):
said the same thing about Peyton, you know, like really
one person in the whole world. UM. I appreciate her skepticism. Yeah,
I do too. I think she's really smart. I mean,
and I liked what Danielle had to say in our
last episode about how she played Rachel as somebody who's
been from school to school and has a very bird's

(45:13):
eye view of the high school experience, which is unusual
for someone in high school. And I think that that's
a really valuable perspective that Rachel offered, even though she's
still messy like we all are, and still trying to
figure out some of her own things. That was a
pretty smart thing to say. I think she's right well,

(45:33):
and she also says, she's like, seriously, what is with
this school? Every single boy is in some like traumatic
you know, puppy dog love thing. She's like, isn't anyone DTF?
What is wrong here? Like? Who does she have to
choose from? Tim? Yeah? Who else is even available? I

(45:55):
don't know? Mouth leon Or had the other really good
line he um was kind of an iconic line that
I have heard fans bring up. He said, I say,
give me regret as long as I can keep the
good memories too. Oh yes, yeah that you know. The

(46:16):
Alzheimer's really was a theme in this episode, wasn't it?
With a notebook and and then with his grandfather. Can
I just tell you that I did not make that
connection until you just said it right now. I'm like, wait,
what double wammy? That's it. That's why it worked so much.

(46:38):
I appreciate your sister, Thank you for carrying I've been
a sign no prop any times, we'll get there. But yeah,
it's I love that line. You know this, maybe, maybe,
maybe the theme of this episode is memories, because because
Hailey's memories are being physically erased and mels memories are gone,

(47:02):
and the memories in the notebook are a theme. And
now Karen has the memory of her ex boyfriend looming
over her in this great, big, giant billboard and she
has to decide what she's going to do with that.
She's gonna stoop to his level or rise above it? Yep,
I don't know. I mean, when's the last time you

(47:25):
did some vandalism? Yeah, I think she should have just
committed to it, say, just stuck with it, I mean whatever.
Pulling it back and having the billboard for a rectile
dysfunction was also pretty good luck was good luck. Yeah,
it could have been anything. It could have been insurance
under their yeah, a little frog. It could have been anything.

(47:47):
But no, No, they pulled back the they pulled back
all their artwork. It's too bad. I think they should
have committed to it. But it was certainly fun watching
them get into a trouble. I remember Barbara finding out
that she was going to have to be in her
underwear and it was like a she worked out really hard.

(48:08):
She was like so committed to making sure she looked
amazing and she did. Yeah, she absolutely did. It paid off. Yeah,
Barbara looks like a teenage the well we were saying
they both looked like teenagers when they were just sitting
on the ledge of the billboards and got a little ponytail.
She's so cute. It's you know, watching the show as

(48:29):
an adult is so different because they're younger than us.
They're right, Yeah, they're younger than us. They're and they're
having to play these grown ups, and you realize that
all the grown ups are faking it. I A is
a grown up. I'm baking it. You're faking grown up

(48:50):
nous adulthood. You know him a nightmare too? No wait, um,
I think you're a nightmare. Yeah. If you were going
to spray paint a billboard, m I don't know what
could make me get on a billboard? What would bother
me so much that I had to tag that? Also,
that cann of spray paint was like the weakest cann
of spray paint I've ever seen in my life. It

(49:12):
was so small. How are they going to get up
there with the one. Yeah you said it looked like polish,
like black shoe polish. Yeah, I don't know, um I,
but I love that. Also, we've never seen any billboard
ever in Tree Hill, and suddenly we have a billboard.
That's kind of funny. Leave it to Dada. To Dan,

(49:33):
we didn't Yeah, what do we got? Should we spin
a wheel? Yeah? I want to spin a wheel most
likely too well, most likely to run away and join

(49:54):
the circus circus like acrobatics, like just like bail on
life and be like, guys, I'm out, I'm gonna go
so the circus. I think that would be fun. Who
is an adult that doesn't have any responsibilities that could
do that? Though? I feel like we have friends that

(50:15):
have done that, have done this kind of stuff, like,
oh yeah, I have friends who have done that. Were
you doing like an acrobatics course, like a silk acrobat Like,
who has done that? Yeah? I do. That's that's like
one of my past times that I enjoy as aerial silks. Yeah, joy,

(50:36):
it's you Like, I have responsibilities. I can't like run
away and join the circus. I mean, I guess we
are in the circus, right that's what we do for
a living. I literally texted, so it's Gus. Gus has
uh sixth grade exams this week, and I'm on a
text thread with all the other parents and they're freaking
out because the history exam is worth a huge chunk

(50:57):
of the grade and they're like, you know, very stressed
out about this. And I literally said, well, my husband
and I are dropouts and we don't care about tests.
So if any of your children would like to run
away and join the circus with the Morgans, we have
open arms. Yes, I mean that's our industry. We are
the circus. It will accept freak that wants to come play. Yeah,

(51:21):
that's how I feel. This isn't all of the above answer,
I think. So I don't know who from the show
with what character would run away? I guess Chris Keller, Yes,
that's he's most likely too for sure? Yeah? Or if
or is it someone with like a secret life? Like
is there something we don't know about Junk? Is Junk
like really good with big cats? Like maybe he's got

(51:44):
some sigre Roy energy? G feels like a wild card
too sweet? Kelsey m hm, Hey, at Lease wants to
know why is every room and tree Hill painted red?
Is it except Luke's room and the five minutes that
Peyton painted hers? There must be a technical reason for that.
Why so many red walls are there? I've never noticed

(52:06):
that in all these years. I never never noticed that
at all. No, I wish I had an answer for
that question. I'd sadly do not, But now you'll have
to as a technical question. I think maybe it's just
like to like a color scheme theme. Perhaps, well, so

(52:26):
if you guys notice, I know some people ask questions
about like hair colors sometimes. Um, there's definitely a filter.
On our show, they were using kind of a warm
orange filter to make everything seem really like homeie. And
you know, it's crazy what the eye can do. It
helps tell a story. And so if it's got that

(52:48):
warm hue to it, the audience automatically feels warmer. So
having colors that work well with that filter is important. Um. True,
I don't know the green is going to show up
great with an orange filter, you know what I mean?
But a rich amber, beautiful red velvet. It's such a

(53:11):
funny thing for someone to have noticed. I guess maybe
an interior designer, maybe Alice are you. It's gonna be
like the Lamp's Joy. Now that we've heard it, We're
going to see them everywhere. We'll never see anything else,
I'm sure. Well, you know, since I never get to
play this music for anybody, why don't I like we
can say goodbye and then I can just sort of
leave a few songs at the end for people. Let's

(53:35):
just play three of them, so guys, I'll play for you. Um.
This one of them is called A Sweet Country Home.
This is when Noah an Alley or characters inspired by
Noah and Ali. I don't know if I have to
say that for like legal reasons. I don't know. The
birds just two Southern love birds, um, And they're in

(53:56):
a house and the house is all dilapidated and falling apart,
but they're dreaming about what it would be like if they, uh,
if they lived together in this home and built it up.
And then I'll also play you something called the Colors Play,
which was inspired by a scene when, um, the two
of them are walking down a street. They're just meeting.

(54:17):
It's their first date, late at night, and he's really
trying to win her over, and she's talking about all
the things that she has to do and all her responsibilities,
and then he's just like, what do you love? Tell
me what you love? And then she sings about what
she really loves to do. It's just to paint. And
then the last one I'll play for you is something
about when they're getting torn apart and uh. In my version,

(54:38):
she goes away with her family on the train and
so Noah uh. Inspired by Noah from The Notebook, he
sings Paul Teal, who is later on Our show as
I directed him in his first episode on Our show
as one of the movie stars in the movie that
was made about Peyton and Lucas's romance member based on

(54:59):
Like Lucas or is of thing he might have played Lucas. Yeah,
I forgot you know you know me and my memory.
I forgot Old Teal was a really wonderful improv actor
in Wilmington's He was part of the improv troop at
Level five and like joined when he was in high school.
He was a baby that got to play with the bigs, right,
So I love that he really really talented guy. And

(55:20):
so this is really his song, which incidentally, for fans
of the music tour that I went on with Tyler
and Michelle Branch. This is a song that I actually
sang a lot on tour and incorporated it into my
my UM fan version of the notebook is that like
the Fan the Unofficial Britain is that kind of what

(55:40):
we're doing. It's fan. I love it. I'm also going
to add in a couple more songs since it's the
only place that any of y'all can hear this music.
Um Think of Me is the song that is played
after that song that you heard Alison mun sing uh
in the nightclub where now the soldiers are really going
to war. And so there's a character I think I invented.

(56:03):
I don't think she's in the book, Maxie, who is
one of Ali's best friends and Um incidentally has a
romance with finn Uh and she is singing in the nightclub.
She's like the nightclub singer, and she's guss Is. I
think I made her Guss's daughter, and Gus is in
the novel and he's an older black man who is

(56:23):
Noah's father's best friend who it's complicated anyway, Maxie sings
this song think of Me um in the nightclub. So
one side of the stage the nightclub is all slow dancing,
and it's all silk and soldiers and beautiful um and
this very sad song. On the other side of the
stage is General Patton and Finn and the soldiers at war,

(56:44):
and so that's all happening at the same time. And
I would like to say, if you've seen the London
production of Who From Here to Eternity, they actually do
this on stage, which is so funny because I wrote
this like six or seven years before that came out. Um.
It always made me wonder if one of the producers

(57:05):
that saw our show I thought it was a good
idea and then passed on the word, but or maybe
it was just a good idea and somebody else had
it too. But it's an interesting device that I had
never seen on stage before, and so it's kind of fun.
So you'll hear that, You'll hear Some one forty eight,
which is meant to be sung by Gus at Frank
Noah's father's funeral, and Through the Storm is the last

(57:28):
one you'll hear. Through the Storm is a song for
the older couple inspired by Noah and ali Um as
they walk through her journey with Alzheimer's. So there you go. Thanks.
Thanks so much you guys for joining us for this
really weird episode. Okay, I hear you've rented the old

(57:51):
Mare place. Where do you live the rest of the
year in Charleston? It's not too far away, although now
Mom and Daddy and i'd be going to look colleges.
And I like the idea of Sarah Lawrence, but it's
all the way in New York, and I just don't
know if I'm ready to leave Carolina altogether. SAP. I
have to decide soon. Noel got the rest of this year? Well,
what are you like where? What do you mean? Well,

(58:14):
I mean it seems like even when you're out having fun,
you're worried that you're having too much fun. And I'm
just one of them. Well, I never see you out
playing around. I'm busy. I don't have a lot of
time for playing around. I'm busy busy. What do a
couple of kids like us gotta be busy with? Oh lots.
I got my whole schedule planned out for me. And

(58:36):
what does that look like? Well, first arithmetic, I'm terrible attitude.
And then there's music. This week is chopin Current Events?
Have you heard they're writing in Manhattan, Oh Latin. Then
tennis with Pierre and dance with Andri, then lunch on
the pier while I studied the sea. They're calling it

(58:58):
now marine biology French on the all days voice on
the rest, Housekeeping Fridays, though my room's still a mess,
Junior League Tuesday. Though it's hard while I'm here, somehow
I manage all this all year. Wow, that sounds like

(59:20):
the road to success. Oh, yes, well we mom and Daddy.
Now we feel very strongly about getting into a good college.
A good education is really the key. Some girls are wasted,
but that won't be me. I'm certainly a successful and
meaningful life as a wife and a working No need
to grow part of the world making plans, making money

(59:42):
on badies. Close your eyes, painting, what fun I like
to paint? Tell more, tell me every when they become
so full. I'm gonna cream when I'm dazzy with the

(01:00:02):
every tarante, when I'm almost up to here with the
voices that I hear. Think, Elly be wimms the lesson.
See when you've been speaking to it for the sake. Ally, No,

(01:00:23):
there's a long lowisland through the drees. The honey bees
will catch a breeze from far away, and then I'm
lonesome and my heart is at bay. My fun the

(01:00:45):
lonesome disappears with canvas near the colors play, And while
I am listening to the dreads across the sea, Comma
teasing Lollaba, she will tell me how to stay locked in,

(01:01:11):
my friend. I never mind the Brussian line, the Prussian
paint a week. I can't imagine anything more awful and
unfair than wasting all your lifetime making plans. It may

(01:01:36):
be just a feeling, but the feeling that I've got
says this life and me we're gonna be each other
as greatest fans. When I paint, I can see it
all is clear. My dreams are right within my reach. No,

(01:01:56):
try a fair Oh it's not in grin. I just
know I've been mad for the rechest of the lives
you're inside the Prussian white colors play, the Prussia my

(01:02:19):
color play. What is this place? Brings a plantation built
in seventeen seventy two. I will buy it some day
and fix it up. Well, don't I get to say

(01:02:41):
in this? You want to say this? Honey, I've got
mine the sweet country home where the mocking birds sing,
and the moon shines along the river, where we will
be happy as to envy. I've got designs on a

(01:03:07):
white country home where the shutters are blue and the
sun shines along or wrap around port, where three or
four can be happy as you and me. Then after
the sun goes down, well caught up by the river,

(01:03:31):
this old, sleepy turn will never be the wiser as
weet dream away those sweet saturdays, sing summertime blues, and
laugh at the ways of the easy life, that lush
lazy life. Indeed happy just you and me, Scarlet, look you,

(01:04:00):
it's it's so much brilliant, Frank, you are beautifully. But
after the sun was down, well cut up by the river,

(01:04:21):
this sult sleepy down where never be the wiser as
rich in the way sun days some summertime and life
at the waysibly easy life, bad lush lazy life, and
be happy, just you and me. He is trash, trash, Mamma.

(01:04:54):
You don't know anything about him, know what. He's a
good man. He's not good enough for you. You can't
provide a good are for your honey. He's just a
country boy. Pretty boxes of diamonds, of ribbons and pearls,
maybe her heart's desire. What if she's fooling herself and
me and everyone else into thinking that she's as free

(01:05:19):
as a winded love? But I know too well and
she never tell and nightly breaker Heart. Pretty boxes can

(01:05:40):
be such curious things when you know what's inside a
strong will and wings, and it's only a matter of
time before they go. She'll try to live a simple life,
but simple lives are not for everyone. I know to well,

(01:06:11):
and she'd never turn and I only biger ahly ohly
break cued. No, I'm sorry, No, you know a couple, Yes, sir,

(01:06:46):
you gotta let her here for you. I can't reading. No,
I'm sorry. I hate that. I can't believe they really
doing this, and they really tearing us apart. Summer love,
she said, laft it on the summer love. But she
doesn't know you like I do. No, one, No, Ali,

(01:07:10):
don't talk to me. Oh this is just silliness. Ali,
Oh sugar, I know you think that I don't know
what you're going through, but I do listen to me.
I do. It's just that sometimes our future is dictated
by what we are, as opposed to what we want.

(01:07:32):
I'll just try to understand that. Honey. That's all I'm
gonna say. I love you, Ali, I just want what's best.
I hope that is still love me after I have

(01:07:55):
gone up. You still hope my heart beside you? Oh no,
no summer romances and for all kinds of reasons. But

(01:08:17):
all said and down, they have one thing in common.
They're shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens,
glasses of t and the flush there. But that can't
happen to us now on no matter what they do,
no matter who tries to keep us apart, I will

(01:08:37):
come back to you for me. If you still love me,
right to me and tell me so, and I will
come back to you on a Sunday like the day
in then I'll take a tray. No no me loving

(01:09:05):
you all m h Sundays all need to dates wit

(01:09:30):
already they same. Your train was coming in made oh weak,
it's cold it tonight and the fireflies cold lights up

(01:09:57):
to evening like Christmas. Aim as your rise. Before I
let you go on a Sunday train. I can hear
the wet soul blow when you wear on a Sunday train.

(01:10:25):
I can hear the steeple bells ringing in our refrain
and I say good bye and again and again because
I can't get it out of my hand, and the wait,

(01:10:48):
my god, we for every Sunday chain m. Time's passing
on and still no reply. You said you loved me,

(01:11:15):

They said it might snow, and they'll probably be rain
and winds's gonna blow. I'll be here just the same

(01:11:39):
because I don't want to miss you, and baby, I
miss you. Come on back this wain on a suddeny train.

And no, wait na go away. I'll wait n going,

(01:12:54):
a fight ahead of your life. Battle that means one
thing to afford to be a fool. Because the battle
fool mean dead men inevitable for men be killed and
wounded in battle. There's no reason why it. Such lost
increase called the incompetence careless of something stupid as told me,
I don't tolerate such a man on my stack. All right, folks,

(01:13:18):
Max is going to slow it down a little for you,
sub grab your gals and coming out to dance. Think
of me when another's arms are open world to the enemy.

isn't if I try back in your embrace? All be
thinking morning the boy with me every top of the

drum again on me? You kiss I can misister. Think

(01:14:30):
of me, Darling while you are gone, when up attack baking,
stay here doing about amos stake, butt up your right back,

(01:14:50):
and not night but down hand. You would have not
that without you, and simply a shell. Think of me
when all you hear cries in the dark. Think of me.

(01:15:15):

was aking. I confessed, hum and I were made for
love and tenderness. Won't you think of me, Darty when

(01:21:02):
Lon is good, Lon is kind, lon is steady and patient,
and make sure that I'm taken care of. Lone is true,
no one true. Lone is loyal and spoils me. So
he's a good man, a fine man. I know. It's

(01:21:31):
appalling how ungrateful you are. There are many other places
you might have landed. There are many worse fates to
before many women than to have a man who is
kind and good and true. It's so silly, how romantic

(01:21:52):
you are in your quiet moments, how you long for
his timet But he's no more than an ambotion in
your past. Everything's change now, Hello, Hi, Betsy. Routine conversation,

(01:22:22):
routine conversation, nothing too suspicious, Everything is fine, routine conversation.
All right, then goodbye? What kind of fool am I
to go to all this trouble, go to lying and
deceiving for a boy that I once knew it was
seven years ago, for God's six seven years, And here

(01:22:43):
I am. What kind of fool does this? I ask you?
What kind of woman tells the man she loves she
loves him? And then leaves him as a safety net
in case the one she loves more doesn't love her. No,
not really anymore. What kind of woman wouldn't stop herself
and march right out the door. And yet here am

(01:23:03):
I with my best dress and my favorite perfume, my
heart laid down like a pig on a platter, and
all a flutter like a butterflyne juune, Oh dear me,

(01:23:23):
bless my soul. I'm just a fool. Hello, Hi London.
Routine conversation, routine conversation, nothing too suspicious, Everything is fine.

(01:23:45):
Routine conversation. Yes, I found a dresser. It will be
delivered Friday in the afternoon, if that's all right with you,
I love you too, Goodbye. Now I have to find
a dresser from someone who deliver. God, what kind of
woman must I be to be so selfish, to be

(01:24:06):
lying left and right and feeling barely guilty of it.
It's appalling and exhilarating. I'm a mess and loving every minute.
I'm it all for shame. But what kind of woman
in my situation wouldn't do the same. Besides, every woman
likes her best dress and her favorite but perfume, even

(01:24:30):
if there's no one who cares to notice well than
I guess I'll be no worse off than I started,
and I know, Bless my soul, I've been a fool.

(01:24:56):
It's amazing how much more grown you. Oh, always pretty
in your youth, but now a woman. There are many
new things still to learn in my hasten and a
dream from years ago, too late to rast. Excuse me.

(01:25:23):
If I receive any calls while I'm out, will you
please tell them I'll be back late this evening. Thank you,
m Routine conversation, routine conversation, nothing too suspicious and everything

(01:25:47):
is hot. Routine conversation. Just seeing an old friend, no, no, no, nevery,
and my best dress and my favorite red perfect. Oh,

(01:26:15):
bless my soul, I'm just a fool in my best
dress and my favor perfume. Breathe then breathe out standing

(01:26:54):

my heart say we want so through search, search, A

(01:27:15):

Gun's place and bring that temple to dis knees. Oh,
