Hello, DVDers, and welcome to the director's commentary.
This is Jason Moore, and I have some special guests with me.
Right next to me is...
Hi. It's Tina Fey.
Miss Tina Fey. Producer and actress.
And then...
- Hi. - Hi...
- Hi. - Amy Poehler here.
Also producer and actress. And Miss Paula Pell.
- Say hi, Paula. - Hi, guys.
Paula went with her phone sex voice.
- Hi, guys. - Yes. She's starting low.
It's starting, it's starting, it's starting.
Shit's starting.
I'm not in the first part, so I'm going to talk over it.
Okay, right.
So that shot of that world cost us a lot of money, but I think it was worth it.
Go to space.
Wanted to start with something strong.
I tried to eat in this café. But it was...
The Iron Tomato, was that really the name of it?
So, we were shooting here in Oyster Bay, Long Island, right?
Yeah, we shot the whole movie on Long Island.
For Florida, for Orlando, which is fun.
We'll show you some dying palm trees later.
In steamy summer.
You're living outdoors, skin cancer is a real concern.
This actor is the guy from, what's that web series?
Katja Blichfeld used to do casting for it.
Yeah. It's High Maintenance.
- Yeah. He's funny. - Yeah, he is very funny.
Yeah, Ben Sinclair.
Yes, thank you.
- I have a girlfriend. - Great.
Was this the first scene we shot?
I think this was one of the very first ones, wasn't it?
Wasn't John Leguizamo the first scene? Or maybe...
- I can't remember. - Early.
Outside the liquor store?
Well, one of the first things we shot was the scene we didn't use.
- The salon. - Of me cutting hair in the salon.
Yes, right. We changed the introduction.
'Cause I was too awesome in it.
- It was too much. - People were losing their minds.
It imbalanced the movie too much.
Sent people into seizures.
Into comedy seizures.
You were on a roll.
Well, give me back the sunscreen so I can give it to an actual homeless...
This actress was really funny.
I like her.
I'm the manager here.
Her elevator eyes.
- She really gives it to you. - Checking you out.
This dog. This dog had one eye.
- Remember? - Right.
And his eye was actually eaten by the other dog that you'll see later.
- Polenta and... - And Mashed Potato!
They're from the same place.
Yeah, Polenta and Mashed Potato, the two dogs,
- they're from the same trainer. - Mashed Potatoes!
- Jim and Dianne. - Jim. That's what my dad does a lot.
He renovates watches and clocks, so he's always showing me a watch.
He Skypes me.
This is based very loosely on some of Paula Pell's journals
and some of her family elements.
It's the reason it's set in Florida.
You'll see lots of... You can point out lots of things, Paula,
that are based on your parents.
My dad has that same head of hair.
But he is not married to Barbra Streisand.
I feel like, if these were our parents,
that I would look more like my mom, and Tina would look more like her dad.
That's what I try to tell myself.
My long nose is a Jim Brolin nose.
And that beautiful, thick hair.
That Native American hair.
He's so tall.
He was foxy.
I spent most of the time just gently prodding Dianne
to tell Hannah and Her Sisters stories.
- That's true. - Which she did.
- Did she do it? - She did.
She talked about the very famous scene in the restaurant
where all the sisters are talking,
and she remembered the name of the Steadicam operator who shot that.
- My gosh. - I know. And...
They're both so lovely, you want them to be your parents.
- Yeah, they were. - Yup.
She's always been my absolute favorite.
And when I met her, the day I met her,
we went to go shoot, and she said, "Well, I'll see you out on the ice."
And I was like, wow.
Remember years ago, Paula, one time, you and I were walking and we saw her
on the Upper West Side, and we stone cold followed her.
Yes! We followed her for so many blocks on the Upper West Side.
- Didn't say hi. - No.
- Just followed her. - We followed her, and...
So, yeah, this is one of the scenes that we reshot.
So, Kate was introduced in a different way the first time.
But I really wanted to get you with your daughter.
'Cause it just made the connection make so much more sense.
- A lot of information to lay out. - Yeah.
The wonderful Chris Parnell, Christopher Parnell.
- Old buddy. - Christopher James Parnell?
- Sure. - I believe?
Christopher Parnell.
Who we worked with for many years at Saturday Night Live.
The most well-prepared actor ever for any rehearsal at SNL.
Really?
- He always knew his shit. - Call him the ice man.
He always knew it.
That's little Madison Davenport, who is, of course,
the child I had with Jane Krakowski.
- She looks so much like Jane. - She does.
In a Weird Science turn, she had a baby with Jane.
My gosh, you're right, she does.
Also, 'cause weirdly Madison is naturally blonde
and dyes her hair brown.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, isn't that insane? Why would you want to do that?
- That's weird... - She spent a lot of money.
...because I'm naturally golden and not gray.
- Yeah. Go on. - Well, she wanted bangs,
but then afterwards...
It's so good that we ended up reshooting to have this scene,
because you see how much they have dysfunction,
- and yet love each other. - And love. Yeah, that was the key.
The original scene was the two of them on the phone,
and you just didn't feel the connection.
Yeah, it was hard to process.
We could use more eye-to-eye contact scenes in this world.
Touching.
'Cause everyone talks through their phones, right, guys?
What?
I just fell asleep in my Jazzy,
and I just woke up and wanted to add something.
I kept those pants, you guys. And I still wear them.
I just knocked over my TV tray full of pharmaceuticals.
My TV Guide.
For a second, Betty, I thought you were wearing a shrug.
But you're wearing an apron over.
Which is the new thing. People are doing a lot of aprons now.
Yeah.
This year it's about fresh skin, thin legs, and aprons.
Kate!
And there she is.
- Shit. - There is Miss Paula Pell.
I don't think I've ever felt sexier.
Holding a waxing strip like that, you mean?
I don't think I even have a bra on, that's why my...
My 32 is hanging down to a 41.
- That dog was added later, too. - Yeah.
That was a third reshoot to just add an insert of the dog.
- Third reshoot. - Those are not my feet.
That gag bit I'm doing, my friends and I used to do a lot.
See, those are not my legs.
We used to do that gag bit a lot when we went to go have sushi.
We'd be like, "Do you want the quail egg? You guys want a quail egg?"
Shit.
Right, that dog we added later.
We had a dog on the day of the shoot, and it looked really gnarly
and was making a lot of noise, so I sent it home.
- It was really big. - It was really big, yeah.
Jason likes to send a dog home once a week.
- I do. - Brutal.
- Like a power move. - Yeah.
It just keeps people on their toes.
You're like, "Bring him in. Now get him out of here."
That's what you like to do.
All the way.
Now, you were dating this guy at the time, right, Amy?
That's right.
Every single male in this film that I do a scene with, I'm dating.
Yeah.
What I love about this scene with Amy is that she is establishing
her over-caretaking and meshed-in-everyone's-lives thing.
Those eyebrows up like, "No, you do need that lotion in there.
- "You do need it." - He was a delight, too, that actor.
He was this incredibly classically trained actor.
- Yes. - And I was talking to him like,
"She's going to be inching towards your..."
And he was like, "She can do whatever she wants."
- He was so nice. - He was ready.
He kept feeling like you weren't going high enough up under that thing.
- Yeah. - Oh, my God.
It was a very, very high set.
I mean, he got a pretty nice gig.
He got a full massage with cream and lotion.
My only regret is that I wish I'd worn this hat more.
- The hat looks good. - That hat looks so cute.
Hat and shorts looked so foxy on you.
So, this is more Long Island doubling as Orlando,
bringing in our palm trees.
This is actually an office building as our airport.
Like a shot of tequila?
Yeah, a shot.
- Daniel Breaker. - Yeah. So funny.
Who's my friend. Such a funny guy.
- God dang it, Daniel Breaker is so funny. - He's a great guy.
I had a reporter, Mike Ryan, point out to me that James Brolin was in Pee-wee Herman.
- What? - Yeah, that's right.
'Cause he's the guy who takes the part.
- Yes! - He plays him in the movie.
He said, "You did the Pee-wee Herman joke because of James?"
I was like, "No, we just improvised that."
Now that's why we did it.
Now that's the new reason.
And, Paula, this is based on your sister. The way you preen and look at each other.
My sister and I and my nieces preen each other like apes,
when they see each other after a long time,
and it's like, looking, grabbing things,
taking jewelry off and putting it on the other person.
Just very intrusive, physically.
She's having such a great summer, but I think she's getting homesick.
This was the first scene that we shot.
You're right, yeah.
Of the whole movie, 'cause we were in that green screen and we had to learn that song.
Yes, this is the first scene we shot together.
- Yeah. - Yeah. Together, right.
Yeah, you did your hair one, and then you guys shot this one.
And Tina and I were practicing our lyrics, Heart and Soul.
Because it's a complicated lyric.
I've been having a lot of fun.
Teaching Polenta how to smell diabetes, that was one of my favorite jokes.
Paula would write jokes...
- Was that a Post-it? - That was a Post-it.
So, during the shoot, we would do scripted versions of the scenes,
and then Paula would write Post-its with extra jokes,
and we would deliver them to the actors, and it was fun to watch them unfold.
That's one of my favorites.
This is good green screen.
That was not my hand, by the way.
I know my hands very well.
You were like, "I don't have time for that nonsense."
You were like, "I refuse to do that."
Later we're like, "That's not my face in that scene."
You only do vaginal inserts.
Never a hand or foot insert.
- Johnny Legs! - Johnny Legs!
Johnny Legs, J. Legs, immediately hilarious from the first day of shooting.
There's one thing he improvised here that made me so happy on the day, 'cause...
I can't remember if you gave it to me to say, "I heard you died, "
or if we were improvising.
To say, "I heard... Somebody told me you died."
And he just immediately, immediately he was like...
"You're the second person who told me that."
- That was him. - Such good improv.
And then Tina said, "You should check it out."
Just that he was right there with, "Somebody else said that, too."
He immediately did sunglass work that made me laugh the entire shoot.
He was putting them backwards on his head.
He wore 'em backwards on his head.
He was so much fun.
- He was so fun. - He was a sweet pie.
And his shirt says, "Killin' it."
Killin' it.
He also always kept everybody up and was great with the background performers.
He's so talented and sweet.
He can work a gum and a sunglass.
I love Maura straddling, liking the attention,
but yet grossed out at the same time, in this scene.
Thank you, Dave.
So is this your liquor store?
You know, I got some stock...
"Got some handshake options."
- Was that him or you? - That was me.
"Some handshake options."
"Handshake options."
Wow, the Ellis sisters, man.
There was a very light thing in that bag, and I was pretending like it was heavy.
That's the bulk of film acting, pretending bags are heavy.
Also, a lot of people don't know they give you these fake paper bags.
Actually, that's a fake bag that doesn't crinkle as much as a real bag.
- Interesting. - They're weird. They're almost like cloth.
- Yeah, they look like paper bags. - So it won't throw off sound.
I never knew that.
- Movie magic. - More sunglasses, he can work 'em.
You're working some sunglasses too there, actually.
That's such a good joke, "Underpass weathered."
I love that.
Friends and family discount at this place?
Here we go.
Two finger discount.
So here comes all of Amy's stunt driving.
That made my legs feel weird.
- Gross! - Hey, you know how it is.
Bye, Dave!
The party just got back to O-Town!
Yeah, I love this part.
Crazy old lady.
It's cicada season, so keep your mouth shut.
I like, "It's cicada season."
- So this is... - That's Florida, right?
That was cut out of The Fast and Furious. That was Tina and...
This is some of the only footage that we actually shot in Orlando.
So we did an aerial unit in Orlando for these shots.
- Areola unit. - Areola unit.
My sister and I, when we see each other,
she'll pick me up at the airport a lot when I go to Orlando,
and one time we went to a Walmart very late at night
when she came for Christmas,
and we laughed so hard in the Walmart, we peed our pants,
and then she had to buy new shorts.
- In the Walmart. - In the Walmart.
By the way, that happens 15 times a day in Walmart.
People are buying the clothes there
because they have defecated or urinated into them.
The wonderful Isaac Barinholtz.
- Ike. - Eisenhower Barinholtz.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower Barinholtz. - Iko, Iko ah nay.
I call Ike "the Wall of Man."
We all just hung around Ike because there was a lot of estrogen on set.
- Yeah. - Jason and Ike were the only guys,
and they were both tall and very built.
I am generally 18% straight, and he bumped me up to 25 for sure.
Yeah.
I knew Ike when he was a bar back at Second City.
- Did you really? - Yeah.
- Yeah, he was 18. - I love it.
He was 18 years old, yeah.
He's so great.
And he went to UCB, did he?
Yeah, he was at ImprovOlympic in Chicago,
where Tina and I were performing, and Ike was...
He's not that much younger than us, but he was...
But we were young, too, I guess,
and back then the difference between 18 and 23 was a world of difference.
Your butt's as serious as The Wire.
Tina, I love you doing this so much.
- This. Great. - This is a symphony.
On the day I remember just thinking, "Okay, she's on a roll down there.
"I don't wanna talk over it, but I want to contribute."
The two of you in this scene,
this is just a symphony of what makes the two of you together so...
"Poppin' Fresh Dough," that came out of nowhere, so funny.
- So funny. - Here we go. So here's our house.
Our first shot of our house, which is in Dix Hills.
- Which is a real house. - Which is a real exterior of the house.
Although we planted all these palm trees and greenery.
It's a little close for my taste, Jason,
- but I can see why... - I know.
Well, I wanted to be deep in your soul there.
We're gonna win a Naturally Award for this.
- A Natchie. - I love those little pants on you, Amy.
A Natchie! "We're gonna win a Natchie!"
Fifteen Natchies for our lack of Botox.
"For our lack of Botox!"
You're going to be awarded a Blurry for that.
- It's really filtered. - Oh, my God.
I am gonna be hosting the Natchies in six months.
The Natchies.
I love this. This makes me laugh every time.
I love the little feet going up there.
It reminds me of The Simpsons, when Lisa does that.
So now we're on our actual, built set, which was on a big soundstage.
So the whole house was built on the stage, including the backyard and the pool,
which you'll see later.
So this is the transition to inside.
When I watched the test audiences for this,
when she walks in and it cuts over to the empty house,
the crowd would go...
- I love when stuff like that happens. - We were so thrilled.
Because we tried to set that up so clearly.
I'm sorry, I'm keeping this colander.
Heartless.
Where's the fucking manatee lamp I made?
It was so fun.
Tina and I both got to watch this movie with our moms, our parents,
and it's interesting to watch it with them because...
Yeah.
I still have my childhood home.
Me, too. They never ended up...
And my dad has a house full of clocks.
So that's where that comes from. So he really loved that.
Is this the sister tree?
We did a lot of scenes here.
I remember we spent some time here.
Yeah, we kept trying to finagle that scene with the...
And then it was 15 seconds long.
This day was about 1,000 degrees. That's all I remember.
It was 100 degrees outside.
Yeah.
Right, we shot this in the summer, so we got cooking some days.
Yeah, Mom and Dad, eat a pyramid of dicks.
Sit on a bunch of pinecones.
If I see Mom in one of those one-chair beauty shops,
I will full-out BJ a hot curling iron.
Rowdy seniors and booze by a lake? That's a recipe for disaster.
If they have shower chairs at this granny farm,
I will slit my throat and put it on YouTube.
You failed to mention your plan.
Why didn't you tell me that you sold the house?
Because we knew you'd try to talk us out of it.
I mean, you were pushy kids.
You're selling your clocks, by the way?
I love how vital these parents are in this movie.
Yeah. How three-dimensional.
Hey, I want Pop-Pop's grandfather clock.
Where are you going to keep it? In your purse?
You two kill me in this scene. Kill me.
- And how sexy they are, too. - Yeah, they...
Well, all four of you are sexy, but the parents in particular.
Yeah, they're coming in ahead of us a little bit.
- That's the hardest. - Tina, one of my favorites.
That's the hardest I laughed with Tina
- in this movie. - That's one of my top ten.
- I know, it gets such a big laugh. - "Then what the fuck is this?"
- And Pogee, those eyes. - Pogee!
We kept meaning to put Pogee in the party somewhere, and then...
He's behind me when I'm talking on the phone.
That's right.
And I tried to do a thing... Well, I'll tell you when we get there.
Now it just looks like a mistake. But we tried.
I just love how much you guys are like teenage girls right here.
- So enraged. - Sulking.
So enraged.
I just want Dianne's haircut, but I know my ears are too big.
I know, I would look like a...
...stick this up my vagina and then I can see the pictures?
I love the detail of...
A tragic, older, limping les.
The gay guy at the flea market who makes them into funny cards.
That's a nice detail.
I know, my parents loved that joke.
...selling the house is the best plan for us.
"Us" is happy with the decision.
You two go whoop it up.
No, don't go whoop it up. It's all spiffed out. It needs to stay that way...
"Spiffed out" is my dad's vernacular.
If you have to poo, go to Arby's.
And then this is you guys improv-ing this,
and then, actually, if you look closely, Dianne starts laughing right here.
Gosh, I can't stand it.
She's laughing.
I had to cut away from her because she started laughing.
- Look at the little sweet face. - "You can both poop at the house."
I love when Amy goes, "I can't..."
"...poop at restaurants, you know that."
- I can't. - When I was a young kid,
I used to love to, when we would go out to eat, I would go to the restaurant,
and come back and rate it and tell my parents.
I would give it a number.
And talk about if it was clean or not,
what I liked about it, what I didn't like about it, like a review.
- Like a precocious little shit. - Thank you for reducing my butt in this shot.
My butt was hella wide. You can tell from the front how wide...
- This is such a fun shot, Jason. I love this. - This was Barry's idea, right?
- This was Barry's idea. - I love this.
I always wanted to do the rooms side by side, like they'd knocked the wall out,
so we could have a big room, but it was his idea to do this shot.
It's funny, 'cause I have two daughters now. They're 10 and four.
And we've talked about maybe just knocking the wall out, because...
- Really? - ...they won't leave each other alone.
- Just so they can be together. - Yeah.
So this room is filled with...
We asked both of you what was in your childhood rooms,
so we could populate this set with all the stuff.
- But, Tina, you were saying... - It was hard for me because...
- Go. - Tina, you were saying that
some of the stuff from your childhood room didn't really fit this character.
'Cause I was more like Maura. We both were more like Maura, so...
I had hot metal band guys on my side of the room
that, to this day, I'm sexually frightened of.
- I love... Look at... - So gross.
- This is so good. - Love this.
We made this up on the day.
- That's Alice's art behind her. - That's Alice's art, right.
Alice is Tina's daughter.
Gimme!
I love this scene.
- This is what started it all. - Yep.
Paula's journals from when she was young.
This movie was inspired by my journals from when I was 13.
My sister's had really interesting romance in it,
and mine had a lot of...
- Drawings of beagles. - Yeah, drawings of beagles.
This is the core of what the movie is about, really.
Look at that thing on your head. I love this candy striper outfit.
Yeah.
But yet she has a boa on. She's trying to cut loose.
Yeah, this was fun.
We had so much time in that room,
and Tina and I would often take naps, try to fall asleep in that room.
Yeah.
In between shots, 'cause it got so cozy in there.
And warm.
Look at that doll in the background with its legs like...
"Last night at the party...
- Dang! - Better work out.
It was a little difficult, 'cause I'm older than these women,
and so I had to write it with the '80s in mind, which was my college years.
- So I had to adjust that. - Technically, I was doing...
We didn't have the footage yet, so I'm not doing the right exercise.
I was doing it from muscle memory,
'cause I remember doing Jane Fonda all the time.
That was one of the exercises I remember.
I was very impressed with the...
The boobs staying in that Catholic uniform.
Yeah, we're gonna get some nice side-boob there.
And I love how you're smelling that Strawberry Shortcake head.
- So specific. - It did still smell.
I like the jump up on the bed, too. It's just, "Look at this. I'm..."
- "Still got this." - "I'm still wild. I was wild."
"Last night was so fun I can't even talk about it.
"There are no, period..."
We were trying to be tan for this.
And so we would get spray-tanned at least once a week,
'cause we were supposed to be people in Florida.
My body will not... My body rejects... Just wants me to look like a vampire.
This was shot very late at night on a night shoot,
and I came in to see them in the tub, and I burst into tears.
- Yeah. - Because of how our bodies...
My sister...
My sister and I... 'Cause they had both shit the tub.
But my sister and I used to do a thing called "Mermaid's Pond, "
and we did a whole variety show in the tub called "Mermaid's Pond."
And we had a drive-through where we would make sandwiches out of the soap.
...I was having fun.
That is when...
There was a line in an earlier draft that fell out, which I missed, which was...
They used to say, "This tub is so small. I can't believe we used to do shows in here."
Yeah. Shows.
Which I'm sure, Amy, you have this with the boys,
but they can run around.
They can swim laps in a bathtub.
We used to do a circular dance where we'd each keep switching sides.
The house is sold.
- Give Maya Rudolph a dollar. - Stolen move.
I hate it when you make me the bummer.
My life is super shitty right now. I need to feel...
This was fun 'cause we put on clothes that, later on, we were going to walk outside and...
We shot the other scene first,
and then we had to think about how were we gonna wake up,
and how crazy were we gonna look?
Get in that look that we already shot in, yeah.
I always wanted this, inspired by the scene in Big,
when they make a wish on Zoltar, and so that...
This got a big laugh.
Yeah, people were ahead of it. They saw that thing turn on and they...
People must have had them, and must have remembered those night lights.
So they go to bed as adults, and then they wake up as girls, really.
This scene makes me laugh, but it also makes me cry a little bit, guys.
I'm not gonna lie. It's just so sweet.
- I love, "I really am so much fun." - Yeah.
Anyone who says... It's like when people say, "I'm really classy."
No, if you're saying it, it's not true.
Not true.
Also, we just spent so much time on the development of this dynamic of
they're opposites, but they still both wanna have fun for different reasons.
And I just think it's real and sweet, sister-y...
Oh, my God. I need this night to reset myself!
We are having a party!
- Dep gel. Discontinued. - Discontinued.
Money shot.
- Discontinued? - Yeah, money shot.
It is very phallic.
You can almost smell that gel. That is such a...
There were so many things I smelled in that room,
just to remember what they smelled like.
Here we go. Now they're girls.
This is up for a Natchie, this shot.
- This is up for a Natchie, yeah. - I love this detail.
I like this. So now they're in some ways transformed.
- Transported. - Transported back.
...one of those Cosi Sandwich Shops.
Who the crap is that?
The way these two react to the Geernts, the people buying the house,
makes me laugh from the beginning to the end.
That's Britt and Santino. They're so funny.
Santino is so funny, and Britt is, too.
Santino, who you may know as Prince Hans from Frozen.
Correct. Might recognize the voice.
- You might recognize the... - There are those Troll slippers.
Those were Betsy's, right? She brought those from home.
They were. Yeah, my assistant Betsy had them.
The name Geernt is inspired by John Lutz,
from Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock and now Seth Meyers' show,
who wrote a character named Kane Puentz one time at SNL.
My favorite character name ever.
Kane Puentz.
Amy's little reverse shot here of glaring when she says "folksy."
- That's like a Cheri Oteri special right there. - This is one of my favorites, right here.
That is a Cheri Oteri...
- I love that. - That's an Oteri number 451.
Yeah.
Look at her bike vest. What is that bike vest?
So there you can see the backyard that's also on the set, and I love this part.
What kind of hot moron paints a sun porch?
Why don't you just put a toilet in the living room and call it a day?
Crazy!
Is that dress from Target?
- No... - 'Cause I've seen one like it at Target.
I've never been there before.
You know there was a murder here, right?
- No. What? I don't. - Major cult stuff. Yeah.
This is little bit of volley improv.
Yeah, this is such funny stuff, Tina.
- Tina was on a roll there. - This is so funny.
So, 14.
And Britt didn't know what was coming at her, so she's just being present.
- Yeah, she was knocking it back. - Did a great job.
You ever feel like maybe you peaked too soon?
- No, I don't. - 'Cause it's a long life.
And I would hate to see you out there blowing hobos at 40.
Thank you.
Blue?
What would possess a person to paint stained wood blue?
What, were you raised on a tugboat?
I'll drop off the paint later.
Santino's such a jerk.
- I know. - Such a good villain.
Look at his glare.
We liked that. That's so funny, that the villains are these two little...
We always wanted them to be younger.
- Young. Yeah. - So how do they have...
How can they buy a house?
Right. How do they have so much cash?
I've been trying to get "queefon a yoga ball" in anything I've ever written.
- Oh, my God. - Oh, my God.
Okay. Let's start working on those invites.
That was like a sound sample from Parents Just Don't Understand.
That was this look.
You were like, "This is like one of those old '80s montages."
I'm like, "Yes, this is exactly..."
Okay.
I love all these pictures. Who is that picture of?
- Somebody on the crew got... - Okay, cool.
That's a great picture.
It was fun getting all these pictures.
I feel like it gets you excited for who is gonna show up later in the movie.
Yes.
Dave. I did him because he disgusted me in a sexy way.
Short Hispanic guys always acted like I was Xena.
I bet he has, like, 50 DUIs right now.
- Little Maya. - Yeah, Maya Rudolph.
Look how cool Maya was. That's a California kid.
Why is she a monster?
She knows what she did.
Little John Lutz, too, is cute. Look at this.
- That was a Photoshop, right? - There's Sam Bee and Matt Oberg.
Yeah. I think they're both at a prom.
They are terminally suburban.
Kelly. That bitch is fun.
Is that Dratch's real hair in that picture?
No, we changed her hair.
- John was foxy. - That's Lutz.
- Another Oberg. - Lutz.
- And there's Kate McKinnon. - Kate.
And then this is all of our crew, actually.
- That's great. - That's awesome.
So sweet.
You have to invite that cute guy from down the street.
Maybe. I don't know. We'll see.
- There's Rolo in the corner there. - Big Lots.
- Here we go. Big Lots. - Big Lots.
Paula reminded me that the funny thing about shooting in this Big Lots
is that they stayed open.
They kept a register open.
So some people were just shopping. That's how not-famous we are.
People were just shopping in Big Lots, didn't give a shit.
- And they were mad. - And they kept one register open.
And they were like, "They have more than 12 items. What the fuck?"
Okay, this was one of my favorite days of shooting
'cause this was the first day I ever had all three of you in the same place,
and we were cross-shooting, and then Paula was next to me, and I was dying.
'Cause it was like watching the masters.
Maya was a gold mine. Maya was just a gold mine.
Hey, Brinda. What up?
Look at how erect she stands in this.
I also like how bouncy Maya's hair is in this.
It's so swingy.
...just life in general.
Not much. Just, you know, building a career.
And shout out to Susan Lyall. She did such a good job with all the clothes.
Yeah.
She was able to find stuff that felt real, but felt funny.
This belt buckle inspired a whole bunch of stuff,
and then stuff comes up later, too.
I love that her necklace is also very Chico's.
I thought you were missing.
I love that. "Missing."
I just love that you're working that sucker.
I know.
- It changes sizes a few times. - Yeah.
Over the course of a long improv.
...to give people this party food.
I just thought it would be juvenile. The kind of person who's always got candy.
No. Actually, Diet Coke.
Got some Poise Pads in there I see.
- Good. Little asshole cream. - No.
Don't you look great. That's a snazzy belt.
Thank you!
Yeah, congrats on your wrestling championship.
It's Ralph Lauren.
- Is that how you say it? - Yeah.
Do you get good Wi-Fi with that?
So I see you're having a party.
So many good Post-its flying in on this.
- Yep. Having a party. - Yeah.
I heard you were having a party.
Some of these takes we did,
these are our first big, long improv takes, I think.
Yeah. We were rolling a long time on those.
You were like, "Okay. Take your time."
I forgot the dot.
And we forgot to type it.
And also we didn't send it.
I must admit,
when I heard you were having an Ellis Island party
I was like, "What? What year is it?"
It's pretty sad.
I remember feeling weird improv-wise, Amy,
'cause it was like you were improvising and you wanted to "Yes, and" everything,
but, also, at the same time, from my point of view, I was like, "I don't like her."
The characters don't like each other.
They don't support each other, and I'm trying to burn her,
so I was like,
"How do I do this and still not be a bad improviser?"
And not shutting it down.
That's why it was so funny because...
- Look at that walk. - Look at that hair.
...Maura's so stuck in the middle because she feels guilty.
I love that very quiet "suck a fucking bag of dicks."
"Suck a bag of dicks."
That was a big phrase for us while we were working on this, wasn't it?
...acting like Suze Orman.
- Here we are at the nail salon. - My God, this...
- Greta Lee. - Greta Lee.
- Amazing. - The great Greta Lee.
I'm sorry, Vicky.
We shot this months before the New York Times exposé
- on nail salons. - That's true.
- We think we inspired it. - Right.
This is based on me doing this at every nail salon I ever go into,
where I ask what is their country of origin and what is their real name.
And Hae-Won actually does mean "head," isn't that right?
I actually don't know. She improvised that.
- She improvised that? - But Hae-Won is a real Korean name.
Okay, so this was a total surprise run.
- This was probably a 10-minute take. - Yeah.
- This is why you shoot digital. - Yeah, absolutely. Back and forth.
I feel like...
I like your face, Tina. Responding to that.
- "Hae-Won." - I love...
I loved when she got very in the chest with it, Amy.
- I love how still Greta is. - She's so still.
So is John Cena. They're good at being still.
Hey one.
When you're still, people come to you, you know?
I feel like I'm constantly... My head is moving like a bird.
I feel I look like I have early symptoms of a future disease.
Yeah, I'm just constantly looking and pecking.
I can't get still.
I try to stay very still in the sack.
So quiet and still.
They just crawl all over me, and I just stay very still, like a Real Doll.
It's so sad.
I bet Nail Pimp Daddy over there treats them like his whores.
- We need to get Lucy Liu to go under... - Lisa Ling.
Lisa Ling to go undercover...
But they are hiring and you are licensed to do nails.
I don't wanna work here. They have a bass in their aquarium.
It's beautiful here.
I remember really liking this day because we got to sit down the whole time.
- Right. - Yeah.
And then we went shopping on the turnaround at...
- That's right. You went to Joyce Leslie. - Joyce Leslie.
- And bought a lot of stuff. - Got our whole summer wardrobe.
I have a little shame from this day because I had a horrendous cough,
and I just kept coughing over by the video village,
and at one point Jason was like, "I cannot hear over here."
He was trying to be so nice.
But every so often I would feel so embarrassed.
We pushed just a Poland Spring towards you.
Yeah, just hand it to me.
Your face.
Older.
- No. - Yes.
Okay.
So, do you like working here?
I love it.
Do you get proper lunch breaks?
What is lunch?
God. That face.
- "What is lunch?" - "What is lunch?"
- This is a great place. - Of course.
I don't think... Those are not my hands, either.
Right, that was an insert we did later just to emphasize the card.
This little moment right here, where he looks down at her nails, is based on my niece,
who is a hairstylist
and she always would have just absolutely horrendous, half-paint on her nails.
You need to step up your nail game...
If you're gonna be touching people's heads.
No. No, no, no. Party?
You can bring whoever you want.
Party, yes.
Sojus.
"Sojus."
- Soju there? - Sure. There'll be Jews there.
And this is something I didn't see coming either. This whole improv.
At what point did you guys... Where in this did you know what...
We improvised this. She said, "Sojus."
I love when you started saying names.
I like that, "Adam is on the fence."
- "Gabe is on the fence." - "Gabe is on the fence."
Adam is coming, and Gabe is on the fence.
That makes me laugh so hard.
My daughter and I are moving to Orlando.
Meanwhile, back in plot town.
I love how we always have a little of your bra showing.
- Yeah. - It's good.
Real good ones. High and happy.
No? I misread your deal.
Any time I had to infuse plot into this movie,
Jason had to drag me by the hair like a caveman.
Awesome! Thank you.
"Can't we just do the fun scenes?" Even though this was fun.
Boom! I got a job.
Yeah, I kept those pants, too.
- Did you? - Yeah, I kept all my pants.
Nice.
- Boom. - Tina and Amy are so foxy in this movie.
I want a Farrah Fawcett poster of them.
There were a lot of alts in this one, right?
- Yeah. - A lot of them, yeah.
That was where, "I will fall out like I'm at a black funeral," was.
- No. - Was that later?
- That's... - That's later.
- That's at that Christmas scene. - Yeah.
No, I think that actually was in one of these scenes.
It's one of these. That's right.
"If it smells like urine, I'm gonna fall out," or one of those.
We're in such packing mode we don't wanna stop our groove.
Sounds good!
Dianne. Look at her, look at her.
- She's pretending to do stuff. - God!
I think at one point she put her silverware in the stove, or something.
And look at Jim, so game. He's like, "I'm ready to do it."
I remember you guys setting up that shot for a while.
Getting that right. Him being covered, but not covered...
Covering up his conk with his conk.
- The reflections. - Well-placed mirrors.
Hey, see you tonight! You know, I'm laying down a bread base.
"Laying down a bread base!"
I've had a lot of people come up and say they loved, "Laying down a bread base."
"Laying down a bread base." Just eating a loaf of bread.
I still say that. I still do that when I'm gonna go drink somewhere.
"Laying down a bread base."
Colleen Werthmann and Kate McKinnon.
- So good. - So good together.
This is another one where it was just an embarrassment of riches.
Yeah. DVDers, you can watch about 10 minutes of this improv.
It's really fun.
Obviously, it's the gay men who have the great party ideas.
I wish being gay was a choice because I always did like that shorts and boots look.
Yeah, I don't know. For me, the deal breaker...
You can't wear it.
Really? Because for me it would just be the fucking unbearable amount of talking.
So this is a scene that we also reshot, that we added later,
which ended up being one of my favorite scenes in the movie.
Yeah, me, too.
- The entrance into this room. - I mean, yes.
Emily Tarver.
- So funny. - So great.
- UCB alum. - UCB alum, yeah.
Yeah. Brayla.
"Under teat" is now part of the vernacular of the world.
Susan Lyall found that dress. It was so good 'cause it had those really formed cups.
I mean, it clearly was backwards.
"I don't get this dress."
For reshoots, I gained an extra 10 just to make all this work.
So you would have a Gala apple, as opposed to...
So I'd have a big apple.
That looks amazing on you.
I worry that she just wants the sale. She's not telling us the truth.
Tina and I were actually looking in a mirror when we were doing this,
which made things easier as far as stuff like that.
- Yeah, finding what looked silly. - Yeah.
You can trust me.
I am at a friend's house.
So I got your text message
about moving in with Gram and Gramps...
And this was in the reshoot
because we wanted to let the audience in earlier on the idea that...
- Yeah, we wanted to tip them off that... - Maura was harboring...
Right, so it paid off more later. Added some tension to it.
This was a great, hilarious dress.
Did that dress exist with "werk" on it, or did you script it and they found it?
- They made it. We bejeweled it. - They bejeweled that dress.
Yeah, we bejeweled it.
Susan made it, and...
It would be a good Halloween costume next year, everybody.
Yeah!
It's for all you working women who like to work.
Work.
So I think maybe you should come here earlier next week, and surprise her.
It took me a while to be on board with revealing the secret
this early in the movie
'cause I was so afraid that it would take the juice out of it later,
when they're revealing that she's been harboring the child,
but I realized that I was just holding on like a dog on a dog toy.
It just felt like it was almost like an hour had lapsed between the two bits of information.
So it was good to remind the audience this was happening.
So we rebuilt this set.
I watch a lot of soap operas, so I really want the big reveal to have a lot of...
So the original set of Maura's apartment was a real house,
but we rebuilt it inside the living room of our set house.
I love this dress.
And the reveal there of the little window.
- Going for it. - The flesh window.
Stretch Marks McGee.
And the eye goes right to it.
"Your eye goes right to it."
Was that a public domain song?
- I think so. - I think it was.
This dress smells like pickles.
Better work.
"Smells like pickles."
I love this moment. This is really...
I felt like we really were a comedy team in this moment.
- Yeah, "either/or." - This is just classic rhythm of...
I think it's an "either/and."
And that's my favorite 'cause it just plays in a two-shot.
Just the two of you doing your thing, it's great.
...and a little more "Suddenly 42."
That might be my favorite line in the movie.
It's been quoted quite a bit.
We should get money from Forever 21.
I love this belly kissing.
That's what it looks like after 4:00 p.m.
When you're over 40.
After 4:00 p.m.
Jason, you did such a great job with all the music in this film.
- Yeah. - There's so many cues, actually.
So many cues.
I love the way you check your eyes on this.
- Yeah. - I just love it.
I don't have my good bra on. I have beef jerky breath.
He's so entertained by these two ladies.
What a hot stud. He's working on the house.
- Like sawdust... - He is so cute. Look at how cute he is.
Anybody who knows how to do things, that's very attractive.
- I know. It really is true. - Ike is also so great.
He's such a funny guy,
but he was so understated and smart, just to be present,
'cause in a way this character's the most grounded...
- Yeah. - ...in the whole movie.
He did a good job, didn't he?
Yeah, he's the most comfortable in his skin.
Number one only.
He's an actual adult.
Right. Everyone else is still working theirs hit.
We're going to see Mashed Potatoes in a minute.
Thank you.
Did Ike improvise that thing where he goes, "I'm really mad at him right now"?
- Yes, he did. - Yeah, that's funny.
- That's horrible. - Yeah. Yeah, it was really sad.
We always laughed so hard at how heartbroken Maura gets here.
This is one of your early ideas for this character,
that she just felt everything so deeply.
Amy, that was one of your ideas we added in, which was great.
Yeah, I think it's a funny game, that she's so upset about his parents dying.
- It's so inappropriate. - It is. It's so weird.
Making it so much about her.
- But still it's empathetic in its way. - It's based on me, you guys.
This dog gets such an "aww." Everybody loves that big, fat dog.
He's got a helicopter tail.
Keep in mind, he chewed the eye out of the other one.
This is the dog that ate the eye of the other dog.
Blinded Polenta.
But 'cause he just thought it was a toy.
That's not very Lab of him.
I know!
8:45. 9:00.
I love the way you lean against this wall.
Okay, okay. Let me just check my calendar real quick.
Just cannot make a decision on where to lean.
Well, that's a good news!
Ike and I had a lot of fun doing these scenes together.
- He was really fun. - You guys were delightful together.
So, then I... There, yeah. Okay.
You will come to the party
and I cannot stop trailing off.
- All right. - But I will now.
I'm just gonna casually George Jefferson my way out of here.
To you.
'Cause I know in this part, Amy, really, originally, you had wanted Kanye West.
Yeah, and he was into it.
- Yeah. - But...
He'd missed his flight or something.
Missed his flight!
- And that's how it changed. - So then we called Ike.
Tina, that was you doing your stunt driving back there.
I just... No, it's true.
- What, like Polish food? - I'm sorry, are you having a party here?
Yeah, the way he says "pergola" is just so snotty.
I didn't know what a pergola was. I didn't know that was the name of it.
I remember learning... You learn something every day when you act.
I have a lot of gay male friends that have pergolas in their backyard.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Obviously, our cousin was a dumb-ass.
I don't know if I do still know what it is. It's like a gazebo.
- It's an over-thing. - Like a garden trellis.
Oh, my God, none of us know.
It's over your head, and it's made of open wood slats...
Like a sukkah.
But then the sun hits it and it shades it,
but it's very beautiful 'cause you can still see the sky.
"That's a girl's belt." I love that line.
- I love that. - I know, that's a great line.
That was a great improvised line.
You've asserted yourself, and you got a job, so maybe...
Tina's face in this...
Just want credit for how much it moves.
Yeah!
Doesn't move where you want it to go, but...
Listen, save your speech for the Natchies.
When are the Natchies again this year?
They're...
It's weird that they have them on the Fourth of July.
- They're on Mother's Day. - Mother's Day.
Midnight on the day that it becomes Mother's Day.
They're sponsored by Aveeno lotion.
I'm not gonna say that I didn't, during takes,
maybe eat some chips from some of those bags.
It's good, 'cause this is earlier on where they were still fresh.
I love how you keep swallowing and looking genuinely nervous in this.
And then the face.
I will say the faces that are pulled in this movie,
- between us and Maya and Dratch... - There's so many good faces.
There's a lot of faces.
Ladies pulling a lot of faces.
That would bring me joy.
"That would bring me joy."
I am an actual mom! I got this!
Okay, but the party mom can't drink.
What fresh fuckery is that?
Does a mother drink at her kid's birthday party?
Yeah, if there's a lifeguard.
- I agree. - I like that joke.
- I love how matter of fact... - I agree with that joke.
- Yeah. I do, too. - Yeah.
It's okay.
You can really see how the sisters work each other in this scene.
Okay. I won't drink tonight. You groin it up.
I remember the sideways shot of this, and thinking,
"This is the beginning of the movie!"
- Right, this is it. I'll be you, you be me. - Take it away, like, montage.
Drunk people like to show off with fire. Shut it down.
Over-pronounce things, because he is gonna be watching your mouth.
Their last name is Ellis,
so we made it the Ellis Island party, which is why there is a Statue of Liberty.
I don't think that quite comes through, but it's a secret.
This is for repeat viewers.
Out of Africa. Was that your request?
- That's a Amy Poehler request, yeah. - That was Amy's request.
God!
- Story. Story. - Story. Don't forget.
Someone's gonna get... Something's gonna happen there.
Something's gonna happen.
That's a set. That's inside an airplane hangar.
- This is inside an airplane hangar. Exactly. - It really is.
And the whole set is built seven feet in the air,
so that we could have a real swimming pool that people could dive into.
- Look at those foxes. Fox patrol. - Look at these ladies.
And you guys look so hot. I was so happy with how that came out.
Hotties times two.
Remember, I kept saying, "I wanna wear shorts, "
and you're like, "Or a dress," and I was like, "I wanna wear shorts."
- I know, you were right. - I just wanted to be able to move,
and I just thought if she was an experienced partier,
she would know. "I wanna dance tonight. I wanna do this."
You were absolutely right.
This scene was shot at 5:00 in the morning.
It was 4:30 in the morning.
And this young actor, this peach actor, was literally falling asleep on his feet.
Yeah, and it was raining. That was part of the problem we were having.
Don't put your kids in show business.
And Samantha Bee and Matt Oberg were so funny.
So, we're shooting this in two different places.
Your side is on the set, and then the other side is on the location.
So it's one of those places where we cut it together.
- Here comes Bobby Moynihan. - Here comes Alex.
We talked about the Post-its. You can see the Post-it in his pocket.
Do you see the pink Post-it?
It was the only Post-it that made it in the movie.
- I'm surprised there aren't more. - No, me, too.
By the way, my favorite thing about Alex and Bobby,
the character Alex, is that his stale jokes just get super-hard laughs.
Yeah.
I have a lot of Alex in me, you guys.
- I love him. - I still enter parties doing a lot of bits.
It's a sweet spot, that combo of you and Bobby, for that character.
My favorite transition.
This gets a big laugh in the movie because of...
John Lutz, and that's his real-life wife.
- Sue Galloway. - They're both so funny.
Kelly!
When did we all get so old?
But the men here?
Look like they're being slowly poisoned.
I love that line.
So true.
Done. You know?
You two trying to...
It was fun to...
We had shot for a couple of weeks,
and then we were excited to get everybody in for the party.
It was fun to shoot these first things because it was like,
"When is this gonna get going?"
Yeah, and we shot the whole party sequence in order over four weeks,
so we could destroy the house.
So this is when it's in its most pristine state at the beginning of the party.
Samantha...
Samantha's character got a blow dry for this party.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
...crimped? I don't know.
- I love this. - It's crimped.
Her husband's penis is crimped.
And then look how confident he is when he comes up.
- I love Matt Oberg so much. - He's so funny.
They never have a scene together, though, those two.
I had never seen him before, and then he did a small part on 30 Rock,
and I was like, "This is the funniest kid I've ever met."
- Super funny guy. - He's such a funny dude.
Nope.
Find it, land it.
That was kind of me in high school.
These are people who are all really great improvisers. Renée Gold...
- Yeah, they were just going. - Renée Goldsberry, Jon Glaser.
So funny.
- Jen Simard. So funny. - Jen Simard.
No more periods.
What the fuckenheimer? Grown-up parties suck.
How can one person have two colonoscopy stories?
I'm gonna get the dancing started.
- Look at how dead that party is. It's so dead. - It's dead.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey. - Hi.
Sure don't feel like your age.
I hope that you have got your phone in your front pocket.
Come on. Here we go. Here we go!
Hey, you can't start with Mony Mony!
That's like starting with anal.
All right.
- That's such from our era. - Mony Mony, yeah.
Mony Mony, like our prom...
That part of the prom, and you're like, "It's almost over."
Thank God!
I'll put it by the pool.
- So? - Okay.
I have a little crush on Santino.
Of all the musical theater boys, I have a little crush on him.
That behavior doesn't go away. He just got me.
Him, Brian d'Arcy James.
I'm like, "Hi, how are you today? You might sing later."
I know. You might burst into song. "Did you bring your book?"
I was in the chorus of Anything Goes once.
It was nice to be in New York because we had fun theater people.
- Hello! - Hi!
And...
Hae-Won!
- Look at Greta! Look at that little chassis. - Look at that!
- Look so good. - All of these girls.
They did such great makeup sandbagging on her in the salon.
She had less than no makeup on.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
The color's taken away from her face.
My niece Emily is a hairstylist, and she worked on this movie
- and did the hair for these ladies. - This posse.
Who we used to call "The Korean Pussy Squad, "
but we ended up cutting that.
Thought the better of that.
We actually auditioned all of the background for this movie.
I had them create characters and dance and get crazy.
That's right.
So that we could actually make sure
that no matter when we were shooting or what happened,
that they would stay in character.
So we had a special group.
Yeah, because they really are... I learned that on Mean Girls.
We're like, "The people who are your day players that come back,
"they're very present in the movie."
- You see them all over the place. - And you're really attached to them.
- If they're fun, yeah. - Especially at a party.
I knew, also, if you guys were going to improv or do something,
I wanted them to be able to stay in the moment.
- They were willing to get crazy. - They really were.
People hung in, danced so hard.
...you danced with the night air hitting your nips?
Guns N' Roses. Citrus Bowl, 1991.
Don't you wanna feel that carefree again?
I love this speech, with you as the hype man.
- Yeah. - "Just like shingles, y'all."
I love her face right before she says "shingles."
And just repeating things. There's Brian.
- There's Brian d'Arcy James. - Brian d'Arcy James.
I know where he is. I know where he is.
- You're like... - Working it up on Broadway.
Johnny Legs, by the way, had to do a lot of dancing in this movie.
And every time, day or night, was ready to go.
- Committed hard. And very Dirty Dancing. - Yeah.
Let's light a boat on fire!
Tonight is my gift to you!
Drink up and run with scissors tonight, because Mama got you.
Shit!
Now, go call your sitters!
I'll give a shout-out to Guy Bayo, my hairdresser, hairstylist...
Yes.
...'cause I really liked this party look,
and thank God, because we wore it for four weeks.
Yeah, you guys were in those dresses the whole time.
It was like our version of being in something like 24,
where we just wore the same thing every day.
And it's amazing Guy kept that line of your hair across your forehead perfect.
Look at it. Perfect.
- He would've taken his own life if it had... - Yeah.
He's like, "It must remain."
There's one split there for a second, and then it's back.
Only people with children.
- People with kids. - People with kids.
Tina's character is trying not to drink in this, and it's just going against her grain.
Everyone was real excited about those tiny solo cups of shots.
- So excited. - None of us had seen them before.
Everyone was like, "Look at that!"
- It was like real-life product placement. - Our first bit of dancing.
My nephew just taught me recently to put my iPad into a solo cup to make a speaker.
- Yes. - What?
Works so good.
Hey!
Cutie.
- You two are so cute in this. - James.
I'm going to purposely never chime in on that,
'cause I want Ike to watch this and get paranoid that I don't like him.
'Cause I know Ike, and he'd be like, "Why didn't Tina say anything?"
Have you guys ever listened to...
By the way, for those of you listening, so great.
- I hope you get out of the hospital soon. - Exactly.
But have you ever listened to DVD commentary?
I haven't. The only time...
I tried once, 'cause I was so into The Wire, and I was watching all the seasons again,
for the second or third time,
and I was like, "I'm gonna listen to some DVD commentary."
And all it was, was Stringer Bell and Omar talking about
they had hung out the night before, and I was like, "I don't want to know this!"
- Yeah, it's taking you out of it, right? - Yeah, it took me out of it.
Excellent.
Hey. Cool if I spin some tunes?
I'm afraid to tell you no.
Let them through, everybody!
And we auditioned all of the softball team.
- I love how you shot that, Jason. - Yeah.
Get ready for a Sarah McLachlan/Tracy Chapman mash-up.
The one... What was the real tall blonde lady's name? With the short hair.
- Yeah, I can't... - She was fantastic.
She's on Orange Is the New Black. I spotted her.
- She's so tall. - Is she?
- Yeah. She's one of those prisoners. - Farrah, I think, is her name.
- Farrah! - Yeah, she's great.
- This song was your idea, Paula. - Yeah.
We danced to it on the day, and it made it in the movie.
I texted him a little link to the song
and said, "This has got to be the lesbians' song.
"Fuck love, give me diamonds."
Let him do the bulk of the talking.
Yeah, I'm just afraid when it gets quiet.
Good things are hidden in the quiet.
Who said that?
I did. I'm smart.
Okay.
You should put that on one of your cards.
People were giving it. Look at Renée.
Look at Renée!
Renée is one of the stars of Hamilton on Broadway.
Yeah.
The boy means nothing to me.
And here they are.
- This party is not fun. - Heather Matarazzo.
Look at those leather couches.
- I do like Brinda's apartment though. - Ann Harada.
Yeah.
Yeah, Susan Lyall. That jumpsuit.
And they're all in versions of animal prints, because they're trying to be like Maya.
I'm pretty sure that Brinda rents all her furniture.
Yeah, it's from a staging company that she has a deal with 'cause she's a realtor.
- With a real estate company. - It's from court furniture.
Court!
Is it weird when I watch this scene that I want to drink wine so badly?
- No. - No.
I really came down here and I was like,
"I bet somebody will have a bottle of wine down there."
Guess what? No.
I want to drink wine when I see a test pattern.
I want to drink wine when I see a television that's turned off.
The ball on the fan.
Please look to the right, and John and his wife dancing.
- What is Sue doing? - It's just so wrong.
Man, I haven't been to a party in a while.
I love how even James is as a character. It's such a sexy trait.
Yeah, so grounded.
- It's what Maura needs. - I know.
- This wine... - So did you see your parents die?
No...
She really cock-blocks herself a lot in this movie.
- She can't get out of her own way. - I know.
Well, that's good to know.
It's not good to know.
Hey, it's okay.
I mean, you can ask me anything. What do you want to know about me?
He touches her.
- There's some ch-emistry. - Intimacy, and she's afraid.
And she's out. Parachute.
I came over to Jason and asked him to have him touch her.
- Smart! - Yup.
No, I don't think he's right for me. It's a pass.
- I love this. - This is a really funny run, Amy.
So funny, Amy.
And, you know, great sex is so distracting. I mean, it's...
It's nice to be so physically, emotionally...
I do this so much in my life. I'm so glad you came up with this.
Getting in your own...
"And feeling weird."
"Shadowy corners."
Just saving yourself from pain, trying to save yourself from pain.
I know. We all do it.
Feeling your heart opening up and wanting to stop it.
I know, I love that line,
when she doesn't like that feeling because that crush feeling...
- It's the worst. - Vulnerability!
It doesn't go away when you're 52
I love this, Tina.
Hail naw!
So stupid.
Are you serious? Because I am straight-up baffled.
I'm sorry?
Maya looks really tall in these scenes.
- She does. - Maya is taller than us, though.
- She is, yeah. - She's taller.
...say hello to everyone. I mean, we're all adults now, right?
Nice try. On your bike, bitch.
"On your bike, bitch."
You can also see Samantha Bee and Matt Oberg,
- they're getting super-drunk in the back. - Hammered.
This is them getting drunk.
You can see how drunk they are even out of focus.
They never take their mouths off those straws.
They spent a lot of time together on set.
Man, we had a lot of long nights, and those guys...
They were such troupers. Everyone was such troupers on that set.
People were really game.
I really wanted everyone to be there most of the time
so that it felt like they were all there at the party,
and people were really game for that.
Also, look at John Leguizamo in the background texting.
He's texting his buddies.
It's true, we make a choice of, "Let's get people that aren't going to be like,
"'You have to shoot me out in three days." '
Yeah, we wanted...
In fact, there were a few people that just could only come a couple of days,
and it wasn't worth it.
Winter is coming, bitches.
- So, what's this order again? - All right.
- I like that push in there, Jase. - Yeah, a little drama.
Love these two together.
No, you throw them at each other. That's the way you're supposed to.
- Maura? - That's what...
Some guy here to see you?
It was cut out that you were... You called me in 'cause you were...
You were trying to help me flirt better, or something.
- Yeah. - I forget.
John Cena.
- Comedy star of tomorrow, today. - Right? Today.
Look how big he is.
Remember, I asked you to put him on a quarter-apple box.
I asked you to put him up a little bit, 'cause he's so wide, but he's normal height.
He's not seven-feet tall in real life.
That was one of my most fun days, when I went up to John Cena and I just said,
"You know what? You're just not big enough."
It was probably the only time I ever saw a little flicker in his eye,
- because he's such a pro. - Yeah.
It was right before I met him, too, because we rehearsed early,
and then he came to me, "I hear I'm not tall enough for you."
I was like, "Well, we gotta do it." He's so nice!
- He's such a great guy. - He's so sweet.
I love the reaction that you guys have.
My sister and my niece and I had a steak dinner with him one night,
and he had already had a steak dinner with a friend,
and had a second steak dinner with us.
Please note John Leguizamo's glasses.
Hanging on the back of his head. It's fantastic.
Glasses work.
If that glasses thing was the only choice he made in his whole career as an actor,
he'd still be the greatest American actor.
You seem good at your job.
- We don't need any of that. No. - No.
We're just gonna take some...
Did John work out on set?
Did you ever see him doing push-ups or anything?
No, I never did. I think he would go to the gym.
- Lifting kitchen equipment? - In Long Island there.
He would hold up his trailer.
Right.
Ladies, come on. This is Cloud 10.
This is the shiz, a'ight?
He's a good Boston boy.
- John Cena. Good for you, John! - Right.
Hi, how are you, John?
Yeah.
John built his mom a beautiful home on a hill and didn't tell her it was hers.
- I know, and she watched it get built. - She watched it get built.
And then he hands her the keys, and she said, "John. Are you kidding me, John?
"Are you kidding me, John?"
Please, please, please don't.
- Don't stay... Stay. Yep. - Thanks.
This was my cocaine that I brought.
Yeah, this is actually a pre-roll moment.
I was just hiding it 'cause I knew it was going to be a long night.
Love all-nighters.
I like the sweaty face right... Not sweaty face, but the look of sweaty comedy there,
when he says that horrible joke and she's like, "You! I got to get out of here."
This is where we wanted him to be tall.
This was your idea, Tina, that he needed to be...
Really tall.
And I also love how you can look up at him adoringly.
Yeah, I love it, too, 'cause it gives me a jawline.
Look at his frickin' arms.
What was it? It's Tina's...
Tina's girls, her boobs, are out front or his arms.
- Yeah. - I don't know where to look.
I would go arms.
His arms are actually all real.
- He doesn't have a push-up. - I love how everyone drops so fast.
Tina, I'm sorry, but that scene is not going to go over well in the Natchies.
- I'm sorry. - They're external.
- I know, that's going to cost me a Natchie. - That's going to cost you a Natchie.
Hey. Turn the music off!
Everybody duck!
Quack, quack.
This guy killed me.
This guy decided there would be no straight man in the scene.
He was like, "No, I'm crazier than you two.
"I'm playing the cop, but I'm crazier than you."
His hair. He's so funny.
- Adrian, right? - Yeah, Adrian Martinez.
We kept saying, "Can a cop have that hair?"
In Florida, yes.
- Everybody's double 21 in there. - Way over age.
We had a 60-year-old buy our beer.
- Well, you don't look a day over 25. - Thank you.
Thirty-five.
Still take it.
I love those reactions. "Oh."
We will keep it so down, like, below sea level.
- Nice teamwork. - Yeah.
He also looks like he just woke up to get the report to go over there.
Yeah, he was asleep in a car in a parking lot.
That shot of Maya was totally inspired by the old Revenge of the Nerds movies,
- when they were always... - Yeah!
- ...trying to look inside... - In the bushes.
Hey. I put in a request for our special song so we can do the Applebutt Jam.
No, why aren't we letting Brinda in?
I don't think we should do that tonight. That's not that cool.
Of course, we all love musicals, so we couldn't help ourselves.
We had to have a dance number.
- Dance moment! - Practiced for 12 weeks.
- We rehearsed... - You guys pulled it together.
- You learned it quickly. And you guys did it. - Practiced a lot.
It was so fun to rehearse.
Oh, my God. You two...
Tanisha was amazing, our choreographer.
Tanisha, our choreographer.
Drake, she went on to...
We chose the song early, too. Informer.
She went on to choreograph Hotline Bling.
Hotline Bling, yeah.
- Did she really? - She's in the end of it.
She's got her hat pulled way down. She's dancing with Drake.
- I didn't know that. - She's awesome in it.
I mean, among a million other things.
She's done Beyoncé and Rihanna...
She was so nice. She was the best choreographer.
- She was funny, she was... - Loving.
Loving, right. She never put any pressure.
- Encouraging. - So encouraging.
Gets such a big laugh, that.
A testament to Tina and Amy, how hardworking they are and disciplined,
when they have something to do and wanting to make it great.
Just every single day, when they would have a moment,
you'd see them in the corner, rehearsing.
Well, we were so nervous.
- You guys also did it so you could... - That's really Amy. Amy did that flip.
But also you guys were able to do the dancing so well
that you could let your faces go and have fun, which was great.
I love that shot of you two.
- Thanks. - That jumpsuit...
And we were surrounded by real dancers. Remember that?
Yeah.
Who were looking at us, going, "I could do that shit in my sleep.
"These tired-ass white ladies, when are they going to be done?"
The great Rachel Dratch.
She's so funny.
"What's freaking you the fuck out about time."
I love the mascara under the eye.
This is inspired from a slumber party I had where I woke up with 80 girls in my house
and one of them was crying.
And I came in and talked to her, and she was having a drunken spin-out.
Why does time do that to faces?
And also James Anderson from Saturday Night Live,
and my bestie from 30 years,
he also had that happen at a gay bar.
He looked across and saw himself in the mirror,
and was like, "Who is that old queen?"
And it was him.
And it had happened to me against a storefront window,
so we both had that happen.
I like this song a lot.
I do, too. It's so dreamy.
This captures the sweet spot of a party, when things are just starting to go up.
- Right. - Just when it's dreamy,
and you're like, "God, I feel good. I feel good!"
This moment where John bites the pizza.
- We all were truly... - So happy.
...cheering that we made him eat carbs.
'Cause he was like, "I would never eat it."
Yeah, he would never eat pizza. He eats a raw cow.
- Every day. - Every day.
I just love his tattoos.
- My... - Yeah.
Tennis, for a little while.
- My stand-in, Laura B... Sorry. - I loved...
My stand-in, Laura B., was obsessed with him,
and she was trying to play it cool, but I gave her the rest of that slice, and she ate it.
She made it feel like she made out with him.
- Anyway. Sorry I interrupted you. - No, no.
I love Sam in this scene.
She's living, she's like, "Yeah, I'm just gonna wear this bra."
She was game, too.
- She looked good. - She looked great.
I have a lot of SNL party pictures from over the years
that I'm just in my bra.
Look at how Renée's playing how baked she is. Can you tell?
- Yeah. - Like she had a big pot brownie.
Also there was a little thing that was cut here,
where Renée was thinking about trying to hit on him.
Right, that Renée and John were a couple...
Were looking for a threesome.
Because I'm the designated mom tonight.
Sad that we had to cut it. It was really funny.
- But DVDers, it's on your DVD. - DVD.
You were talking about those tattoos, which were so cool,
and John had to put them on for two hours every day.
Yeah, it took him a long time. And Jorge, your makeup artist...
Yeah, Jorge Nelson.
...helped coordinate that and did such a good job.
Tina's dancing with one of my very close friends Michelle right there,
and she was so nervous 'cause she's not an actor,
and did a great job shaking her can.
Kate, Kate, Kate!
Is it going to be on the DVD extra where Leguizamo helps me down?
Yeah, I think it's on there.
- God! That was so funny. - 'Cause his face in that was so funny.
And Jill's... It really wasn't my butt. It was my stunt butt.
Come on, Kate. Come on!
That's still me, I think. That's Jill. I could've done this!
You got up there. You scurried right up there.
- I didn't know you were gonna do that. - Yeah, you were really...
Then we were like, "Whatever."
This is for the fucking birds.
I like all the stuff you guys ADR'd in after.
Yeah, they just go right back to dancing.
- I like the stain on Sam's pants. - I know.
The way they're sitting in those little chairs, and they're so hunkered down.
I love it because they're drunk and high, too. I love their playing.
They actually had the best time at the whole party, I think, this couple.
Yeah. They needed it worse than anyone.
From beginning to end, they just partied, and then had sex.
- Look at their faces. - With each other. No harm, no foul.
Look at their faces when they try to guess.
Because I have a scar on my face!
It's stevia! Psych!
It's stevia!
Come on. You can get this!
So, if I read this,
will I get, like, amazing insight into who you are?
- I am afraid so. - Okay.
Way behind the curtain.
This was one of my favorite days.
I mean, it was a tough day 'cause we had to shoot this on a Saturday,
and everybody was tired, but it was so fun to watch you guys work together.
- So sweet. - This was a great scene to do, so fun.
- So great. - I love how quiet it is.
We rehearsed this scene a lot, I remember, with Jason, talking a lot about it.
It's my gift to you.
I love it.
These were the scenes that I was so thrilled to keep in the movie,
because when you do a big party movie, it takes up so much real estate.
It was just so nice to have these quiet scenes.
Yeah, because you need to take a breath and be intimate with people.
I think that's even in the tradition of those Sixteen Candles movies.
- Yeah. - There was always the quiet...
I don't think there's as many movies out that keep those scenes as much,
so good job, Jason, for holding on to them.
It's like that scene in Sixteen Candles in the car.
- In the car. - Yes.
I also feel like when you have these kind of scenes that ground and make it feel real,
then you can actually be crazier with the comedy,
'cause you're always coming back to something that feels authentic.
And you care about 'em.
On the count of three...
I feel an emotional heart itch,
as my niece calls it, a "heart itch," when I watch this part.
- "Heart itch"? - I love that look of Ike.
He's just like, "Dude, I don't want to play this game."
I know.
I know, I like that we both chicken out in the beginning.
Yeah, he's not afraid, and I think that's why she's just so...
She doesn't have to take care of him.
- Alligators. - Choking on a steak.
The older you get, ladies, for you young people listening,
the more you're just interested in people who wanna jump in the deep end.
And who can be authentic.
- And who know who they are. - Exactly.
So you don't have to help them shape who they are.
Amy, I love how vulnerable you are in this scene. Really great.
I had a good director who was pinching me off camera.
Jason's right under the frame, pinching me.
Pinching.
Different toes mean different things.
I love this little sweet moment between you.
Again, I'm not giving Ike anything just 'cause I wanna...
I just wanna make him freak out.
Tina, after we talk about Ike any time,
you should have a moment where you go, "Are you guys done?"
And then you just move on to something completely different.
"I remember the weather that day."
You go, "There was nice paneling up there."
I love that laugh, too. It's so sweet.
So real, yeah.
- Amy, you have a great laugh. - Thanks, Jase.
I think I look like a crazy maniac.
I love that you two had so much fun together as people,
because then when you would do these scenes, you could conjure that.
Well, Jason always was smartly reminding us we were just getting to know each other,
because Ike and I are friends and have been dear friends and like each other a lot,
so we had to pretend that we were just getting to know each other.
- Negotiating. - But I think in this scene...
Remember we improvised him doing a bunch of impressions?
Yes.
Never fit. Never fit.
And it's weirdly the first time Ike's ever smoked a joint, was in this scene.
- Yeah. - That day.
That day.
That moment actually happened to me in a trailer on a navy base in Orlando...
You talking to me?
...with a guy that I thought was going to kiss me,
and he was shot gunning pot into my face.
My gosh, we put Bobby through it on this day. He just...
When he says, "Grimace."
- What's the one... Grimace? - No.
Grimace.
Why don't you try sticking your head up your ass?
I love how mad he gets right here.
After they guess.
Look at Matt, he can't concentrate. He's trying so hard to seem sober.
Why don't you stick your head up your ass?
See if it fits?
Why don't you try sticking your head up your ass and see if it fits?
Pass.
The women in the back, too. They wanna get it, too.
"Pass."
Scarface.
Right here.
- Scarface? - Yes!
Awesome, man.
He's so mad.
You got to want it a little less.
I can feel my hair growing!
Alex, come on.
Do you hear that? It's Tipsy!
I love this song! I got to dance. Here we go.
- Yeah, this was... - This was so good.
So, yeah, we built this attic.
Right, a built attic where I was genuinely afraid to break through,
because it was scored, so we could break through.
Yeah, it was a little scary.
And... And, once again,
having to do things in heels, like most ladies do.
Boom.
This moment is real from my high school.
One of my best friends, Ellen Perry,
her legs went through the ceiling of the attic, dangled.
Maura, look at me. I can fix this.
God. Go. Go, go, go.
This was really fun to do.
This big stunt was super fun.
And this was always, what's the funniest way to deliver 'em to that bed?
- Yeah. - Looks like oatmeal.
So much insulation.
That was a lot! It's eaten you guys.
Miraculously cleaned up.
I think it was made out of newspaper.
It's the kind that dissolves with oxygen.
Yeah.
Are we gonna die?
No, this stuff's safe. This is all from the '70s.
Wow! This is fucked up!
I like how much...
The slow-tracking of him losing his mind in this last part of the film.
And that Hae-Won is the only person that thinks he's funny.
Laughs every time.
- And that dancing from Maya. - Brinda working that hair again.
Living. Living!
She finally gets to be in the party.
Well, let's do this. My earrings are coming off, bohatch!
Why? You gonna hit me with your long-ass earlobes?
Makes me laugh.
I have been waiting a long time for this.
- Boom. So simple. - So simple. Just so mean.
Hey!
Let me in!
This is bullshit!
- Spelled B-O-S-H-I-T. - Boshit!
I think one of her children said that one day.
"This is boshit!" Like a little tiny child of hers.
James is so hot.
Here's another moment. Look at Bobby behind you guys.
- Yeah. - He just banged through.
- I don't get it. Explain it more. - I have a...
Chased by a bug.
You are so badass!
Fuck the Geernts!
Okay, I'm gonna dive back in. Bye!
Fucking party.
- Look at those heels. - Those shoes Maya had on were so high.
Yeah, I think that she was particularly tall in this.
Yeah.
Jackpot.
I grew up in Orlando after 15 with a pool,
and the parties with a pool are just always so much fun.
- 'Cause you always end up skinny dipping. - That is such a cool shot, Jase.
Yeah, that's the actual pool in the backyard.
- And then visual effects put the blue. - I love that shot.
Strip it down, town!
Look at her orange socks.
Shut the fuck up! It's her parents!
Look at Leguizamo in the back.
Shut the fuck up!
That sneeze with the flowers, I think I probably would still do.
I think you would.
So, Amy, this is where Pogee comes back.
- Here comes the Christmas elf. - And I was like,
"We need to do this in one shot."
'Cause the Elfon the Shelf always moves.
- Elfon the Shelf! - So when I walk away,
move him in real time in the shot.
But it just looks like a mistake because we do cut back and forth.
It only really works...
Tina, I love how much you love Elfon the Shelf.
I hate the Elfon the Shelf so much.
- But I do it! - I think you love it.
There it's in a different position, right there.
- In that shot. - Yeah.
You talk about the Elfon the Shelf enough that I think you love it.
I'm gonna tell you something cute about Elfon the Shelf.
My grandma used to have eight of 'em on her mantle during Christmas,
and she used to cut their bangs.
And somehow they just never got too short. I think they grew.
Magic elves.
I did not learn about the Elfon the Shelf phenomena until three years ago.
Pretend you don't know about it.
- I know. - Don't let your sons find out.
I haven't told... We don't practice it.
Last night Alice lost a tooth, so I had the fucking tooth fairy and the Elfon the Shelf.
And I was jet-legged, and I was like, "Are you fucking kidding me?"
'Cause I go a little overboard with the tooth fairy as well.
Yeah.
Now things have turned.
This is such a great moment to show what's happened.
This is where the characters officially have swapped paths.
This part of the movie gives me that same stomach ache
of when I would have parties and they would go down.
- Go off a ditch. Into a ditch. - Yes.
This is when the fun stops...
- And it's like... - ...and terror begins...
- Here we start our blue people. - ...when it's your place.
Can you see the lady on the trampoline in the back?
Yes.
You can't quite see that she's on a trampoline.
So it just looks like...
- She's just got... - Real core strength.
This is our Korean line dance, which just 'cause.
'Cause why not?
- And a foam party. - Yeah.
Barry Peterson, our DP, shot that shot,
and he was like, "This is a really weird movie."
When he saw that.
This is a really weird what?
Weird movie.
Was Barry there the other night?
No, he wasn't, unfortunately. He's based in LA.
He did such a good job on this movie.
He took care of all these old ladies.
You guys look great, and...
- Yeah, thanks, Barry. - ...the party seemed fun.
- Thanks, Barry. - Thanks, Barry.
- For lighting us.
I encourage all of you to make your mark on this house tonight.
No, do not make your mark.
Yes.
Where's my handyman?
This is one of my favorite things in the movie.
Comin' up.
- And I think you're really cute. - Thank you.
"But, whatever, dude, a lot of people are cute."
I say that so much in real life.
No, it's so useful to be like, "Whatever, dude, a lot of people are cute."
- Yeah, right. - Just a good...
Give a compliment, and then immediately retract it.
Pull it out.
It's called negging, Tina. A man named Mystery started it.
I know that guy. I slept with that guy.
It's "that," it's fucking "be that you!"
- Be that you! Be that you! Be that you! - All right, don't yell at me.
- I just did it three times! - Don't yell at me!
Who's yelling?
- One more time. Be what you? - That!
You got it! I'm out.
- Drop the mic. - Mic drop.
Take the party outside!
- I love this shot, too. - Yeah.
- Yeah, a great shot. - Take that door out of the frame.
That music and that...
Right there. And it's like, "No, now it's all breaking."
Here we go.
It's all breaking.
- I love this. - Somebody's got the munchies.
Yeah, someone's a little stoned.
I love a mouth full of bread with the, "Okay. Okay. Okay. All right."
- So unfocused, your eyes. - Real confident.
- Right. - "Okay."
- Again, he was so game.
I was like, "Okay, so you have to basically fuck a paint can."
And he was like, "Okay."
I'm glad we shut down that prosthetic penis we had for a while.
I love this shot, too, with the thing flying by, Jase.
- That was practical, right? - Practical?
It was on a wire.
Oh, man. Who called the cops?
- Oh, my God. This scene kills me. - I like this guy, too.
Yeah. He did a great job.
- Yeah. - Yeah, sure.
Just holding it together while you were giving it to him.
This guy was like, "Okay, I get it. I am the straight man."
Right. He gets it. Yeah.
That's what the gig was.
That right there. "Sign in the thing. He didn't. He didn't sign the thing."
I like Tina... Look at Tina tapping me quietly.
Yeah. She...
Kate keeps going, "Yeah," trying to save it. Save it. Save it.
Save it, but I also was like, "I don't wanna fuck up this roll."
- You can't stop, right. - Because it's so funny.
Officer Donuts.
"Squad car."
Look at you laughing.
The other guy with the grass skirt walking up the stairs.
I will protect my all's property from all y'all and that's including moi.
That means "me."
- It means "me." - I don't... It doesn't mean you.
I don't need to protect anything from her. That's my sister.
- Right. - From the same mister, who's our dad.
So, wrap your mind around that, Cap'n Crunch.
Capeach?
I know something about you. You're a nice person, right?
I love you just going to town on this guy.
Fingers crossed.
"Fingers crossed," but they're not.
And I salute you.
But you know what? This is how I'll salute you.
Like this.
You're such a good drunk in this.
- What are you writing down? - Nothing. It's my pad.
Here, I have something you should write down.
E-A-T.
Wait for it.
S-H-I-T.
That was one of my favorites.
We did a lot of these, and one of 'em,
I think she offered him a blowjob, but I'm not sure.
- Yeah. - I think I did, too.
She did. The character.
She went to the sophomore formal with my cousin who has spina bifida.
Of course she did!
She is a lovely person. He still talks about it.
- Yeah. - You know what?
You guys enjoy your party.
That's a great police officer.
- People were like, "No." - That's a great police officer.
We shot this before we actually did the party.
Can you see the guy humping the beach ball up by the window?
Yeah.
What's gonna happen?
Hey.
How's it going in here?
- Fixing things. - I love the little stumbles that you do.
I'm gonna have to come back tomorrow and finish this...
"Tomorrow."
I am drunk and stoned.
There was an alt in here for a while you guys cut, where he was like,
"I just hung in your room and put your underwear in my mouth."
I'm assuming you guys were like,
"That's a little too Ike and not as much James."
Yeah.
This is where we added the ADR. line about, "Thank you for cleaning it up."
'Cause it's suddenly clean.
It's very clean.
He has a Shop-Vac.
- Yeah. - Because my bed is broken.
- Do you want me to fix it? - Yeah. Lock the door.
- Bam. - That back-kick.
I love just undermined authority.
- He's reading. - What's he reading there?
Fraud magazine?
- Yeah, Fraud magazine. - Fraud magazine.
Red wine slip and slide, is this inspired from something, Paula?
Yeah, writers' party a few years ago, we did a slip and slide on the writers' table
and got banned forever from doing a party at SNL.
I like how Maya looks shy right there.
It's Risky by Jennifer Love Hewitt. You can only get it at Kohl's.
I'm wearing Erection by Calvin Klein.
I love them together.
I cannot!
By her bra strap.
Are you seriously asking?
- You probably don't remember. - I remember.
We were about to have the best Ellis Island party ever
because my cousin met John Stamos at Disney and he was coming.
But you narced to your cop dad.
I love how fresh it is still in Kate's mind.
How? How did he even know?
Because when I found out that I wasn't invited to your party
it hurt me so very deep, that I threw up really hard.
Why didn't you invite me?
This is one of my favorite things.
And then we added this little sound for her later.
I was kind and clean!
- And I got mostly B's! - I know, I cheated off you.
Everybody feels that way about someone.
Yeah.
I also love that you're playing cowed here. "I feel bad."
'Cause she knows she's right.
The Bachelor?
Me.
This is one of the things that Maya does so well,
she can be crazy, and then she can go to the truth so quickly.
It's really wonderful.
Tonight, I am a "yes."
Yeah, they're living.
- This is our comeuppance. - For all the nerds out there.
She is a yes.
I am a "fuck to the yeah"!
She must have done 40 of these.
Yeah, this is a fifth of what exists on film, right, of what she did?
The saddest part
is that you and I used to have a blast in grade school.
And we would probably still be friends
if you weren't such a selfish hothead.
I am not a selfish hothead!
- Letting loose. - Oh, my God. I love...
We were just rolling on Tina.
I was talkin' to the craft service guy.
Right.
- I love watching Tina let it rip. - Me, too, I love it.
Hi, Mom, I'm here.
I'm at Gram and Gramps'.
- You're here? In Orlando? - Yeah.
- I love Dratch in this scene. - Yeah.
I know, I love this scene.
Do you want me to come down there and we can talk about it?
- Kate's having to do so much. - So practical.
Take care of so many people here.
And then Oberg comes through the window there.
With a baloney dick!
You have been begging me for weeks to tell you where I am...
This also was really 2:00 in the morning.
- Yeah. - It was pretty late.
I know, and you look great.
- Thanks, Amy. - Yeah.
That's Jorge's doing.
There are a couple of times in the movie where I'm like,
"Oops, I was tired."
Thank God that we were able to do this on stage, though.
Can you imagine if we had all those all-nighters...
- The neighborhood would have killed us. - Killed us.
And everyone is trying to help us out,
and this is how you thank them?
It's not what you think.
- You really feel for Kate. - I know, I love this.
'Cause she isn't drunk for once in her frickin' life.
It's so honest that she can't win right here.
I don't wanna live with my loser mom who parties.
Rude.
"Loser mom." You need a spanking.
Time out.
Yeah, right.
- Madison. - Madison.
- Who was such a peach. - Yeah. Sweetie.
Fuck it.
I remember we did one take of this.
There was a million bottles there. All prop bottles full of water.
And I grabbed one,
and just when I turned it, I just heard, click, click, click, click, click,
and I was like, "Shit, this one's not a prop."
And I took a shot anyway, and it was cinnamon tequila.
- And it was the cinnamon that startled me. - Gross!
Yeah, you're like, "I would have been fine with just tequila."
- I love this part, too. - I love this.
- 'Cause it's so laced with sadness. - I love watching you get down.
It's so sad. Yeah, it's not truly joyful.
Yeah, it's great.
It's got a dreaminess to it that I like.
Hey. Lollapazuzu, I'm partying now.
Pazuzu sees what's happening.
- He knows. - He sees all.
My safe word is "Keep going."
I love that line.
By the way, Pazuzu is the name of the devil in The Exorcist.
- Yes. - Is that where that comes from?
That's where that name comes from.
Really funny writer, Katie Dippold
created Pazuzu for us.
I loved getting the girls ready.
Eternally grateful to you, Katie.
I love this music, I love this song.
This is the day, when I went to do this stunt,
and I'm on a wire, of course, 'cause I'm no Jennifer Gray.
But I got down there, and they were like,
"So this is the stunt man who will be lifting you," and I was like, "What?
"John Cena, you will be lifting me!
"You're John Cena." He's like, "Okay."
- He's like, "I got this." - He said okay?
Yeah, he did it.
He was like, "Usually I get paid a lot of money."
I know. I was like, maybe they were worried that
my girth would break his wrestling bones and he would lose his career.
I have them make out in this bed just vicariously,
'cause I never made out in my childhood bed.
- Another one of my favorites. - "Pull your pants off"?
- Right there. God! - That Amy laugh right there.
I love it.
It's on. She's so jacked up.
She's so psyched it's happening.
Really not playin' it cool.
I miss them bad.
- She's so funny. - So funny.
I love, "Somebody hug this messy bitch."
Somebody get this messy bitch.
I like when she says, "Shh." It's real quiet,
but when you start crying, she goes, "Shh."
Yeah, she wants you to stop. She's really uncomfortable with it.
That is fucked up.
Don't judge me. Your kids are in another country.
That's fucked up.
I work my butt to save my kids
so they can come live with me.
I used to be pediatric radiologist.
What?
What do you do for your kid?
Right here. She's like, "Fuck, I don't wanna be here."
She goes, "Shh."
- She really wants you to stop. - She was playing really wasted, too.
I love how you guys... I was like, "Eat bigger bites of nacho.
"Eat more grossly, please."
Look at this guy, just circlin'.
By the way, he goes to Brinda right after this.
Yeah, that's why I think we cut it.
'Cause I try to sloppy kiss him, it seemed like it made him
less honest with Brinda, so we cut it.
So I did that fornothin'.
For the joy of it.
But you got to sloppy kiss him, so that's fun.
I lied, I did make out in my childhood bed,
but it was many years later and with a female.
You look like you were really worried that we were all tracking that lie.
I'm not listening to any of you, so I thought we were still talkin' about
what I talk about.
Look at Sam helping you up.
You know you're fucked when she's helping you.
Shit.
Hello.
There was so much talk about fire safety in this.
Yeah.
And lighting that thing.
I'm sure Ike didn't mind having that protective cover,
'cause it makes him look like he's really sporting a hedgehog in there.
Well, every time I see this, even though it's a movie...
Every time, I know it's not gonna change...
Every time I'm worried that Ike's gonna get a boner in that.
I'm like, "God, don't get a boner, Ike.
"It'll be so embarrassing." But then I'm also like,
"But why aren't you getting a boner, Ike?"
We checked in about that. We had a couple conversations about that.
I think he took care of business beforehand.
I don't know, I don't know.
- Gross. - That's just filthy.
- Shit... - Yeah.
Shit. Fuck!
- That was all fake. - That was him, and he...
- That was all CGI. - Yeah, CGI on his crotch.
That's all him, yeah.
- I mean, the fire. - The fire is CGI.
Ike plays this so majorly.
And he really...
That is just the face you would make.
Amy, you're so funny in this, look.
'Cause you're adding on so much detail in the background.
Ike is playing it so real.
This hurts so bad.
No, I don't want you to look.
He's sweating with pain.
- He's sweating. - He's sweating with rectal pain.
Ike...
Again, it's so fun just to watch the two of you do your thing in one shot.
You can see everybody, yeah.
It's like... What's that famous pose? The Pietà.
The Pietà.
- It's a new version of the Pietà. - Oh, my God.
It's the Poo-eta.
He's just resigned.
You're both so matter of fact.
Yeah. I remember you giving us that note, Jason,
that things got really quiet here.
Past the tutu?
He's so mad.
"That's why it's catching."
It's in high fifth position you told me, Paula.
Yeah. I had to google that.
Yeah.
That's turning inside me! Just let it wind down.
Look at the veins in his forehead.
First time James yelled at me, and guess what?
- You liked it? - I liked it.
- It's turning. - It's turning.
I think it's almost done.
I think the contraption he had attached to him was originally a dildo.
Originally, it said "Made in China, "
and then you had that funny improv about it's Swiss-made.
- So we visually changed it to... - That's right!
- ... "Made in Switzerland." - Love it.
Yeah.
And we're do... Nope.
Let's milk it. Come on, guys. Let's milk it.
Let's go around one more time.
Of course.
When he gets up here and starts screaming...
It's like nausea...
It looks great, though, Ike.
Ike was the only one working out on this movie.
Jason said, "You gotta work out a little bit, Ike."
So I went to the gym a time,
out on Long Island. I went there one time, and I'm like,
"So I'm working on this movie..."
And they go, "That guy, Ike?" I go, "Yeah."
"He's been coming here all the time.
"Had a lot of complaints about him."
- "He keeps dropping the weights." - No.
"Some of the older patrons think he's really loud."
And I told Ike that, and he was so upset.
No. He was working hard.
He was working hard.
Are you okay?
I swallowed my wedding ring!
Once again, what I love about this movie is,
you could see this night through anyone's lens, and the party...
Yeah.
That couple goes home after the party,
and what happens to them? What conversation do they have?
- How has their marriage changed? - Right.
- What's changed? - Yeah.
For a while we talked about
showing at the end the Facebook posts that each character put up the next morning.
What they learned.
And I sent you a picture of me and Polenta.
Hell, no.
So much betrayal.
Fuck.
Don't do that to your sister.
Hell no.
I never did that to my sister,
but there were times where I really thought I knew better than my sister
- about things. - About her own kids.
- Her own kids. - That's a good fall.
And I apologize for that, Patty.
Did Bobby fall from that height?
- It was good. - Yeah, he did.
- Into a pad, I'm sure. - Bobby did a lot of stunts.
Bobby did all...
He was so psyched to be fighting John Cena.
And winning. He's like, "I won."
He's such a huge fan of John's, and they spent a lot of time together,
- and he couldn't believe his luck. - Boom!
His drop and roll made me laugh so hard.
Okay, good night.
Good night, sweet prince.
I love that kiss he improv'd.
And then that's John really carrying him.
I wish John would carry me like that.
John's like, "I got this." I'm like, "Okay."
He's like, "I already lifted that other heifer. I got this."
Ike's walking out kind of funky because he's in so much pain.
I always wondered, did he get it out yet? The box?
No, 'cause it still makes the noise.
That's right, the noise.
- You can hear it finish. - It finishes.
Ding, ding, ding.
See, if we followed him, he'd go to the hospital, and then we'd...
- Look at her. - A hunk of cheese.
I think you wrote that, Paula, right?
She's just eating a hunk of cheese?
Let's get this party started!
Bobby went through it physically on this.
I think he had a lot of bruises by the end.
But he got to kiss Greta Lee, and she's a fox.
Yep.
What the fuck?
He's suddenly a lot better.
Hey. I'm sorry. Hold on one second. Hold on one second.
- Mom? - Oh, my God!
Everybody gets their little resolutions.
He finally gets his laugh.
But thanks for finally laughing, you fucking assholes!
I can remember this moment.
Running through here. Running, running, running...
I love that Dratch says "girl fight" four times.
Yeah. She's so excited.
Nobody gets more mad at each other than two sisters.
Boy.
'Cause they just love each other so hard.
Foam people.
I had to get them all outside, so no one felt like they were gonna die.
Yeah, so when the tree comes down, you know everyone's okay.
This was so fun, to watch this stunt.
Yeah, so we had a real...
We built this tree, and it was on a trigger,
and it's all practical. It actually crashed.
We were all standing there.
It was scary, 'cause we knew how expensive it was.
- And it was like, "We have two chances." - It was so loud, too.
- Was it two chances, or just one? - We did it twice.
Twice.
God, that is so good.
That's actually the second time, where it crashed the whole thing.
Yeah.
And then this was always inspired by wanting it to snow in Florida.
Yeah.
We stopped time!
That's her resolve.
It's snowing!
Snowing in Florida, when hell freezes over.
- Boy. - Boy.
I wrote a sinkhole into the end of a scene
as a little tag, like we would write in a sketch of SNL, and then
the next day there were a lot of discussions about the sinkhole.
And it became a huge thing in the movie.
So you have to be careful what you write in.
Especially when it's a big ol' hole.
Yeah.
The stunt of the falling in was so impressive.
That girl. What's the name of that woman that went down as Madison?
She's... Gosh. I can't remember her name, but she was amazing.
Yeah, it was really good.
Where did you go?
You were supposed to stay sober. I was supposed to get laid!
I'm so sorry that you couldn't get laid for the five millionth time in your life.
I get! I get my fucking dick when I want to.
Don't you ever pull that shit with me!
I know you get tons of dick!
Just not tonight and not recently.
I love these two together.
Where's my daughter, Maura?
Do you know?
These eyes.
No.
Look me in the eyes.
I don't know where she is.
Did we cross-shoot this? I can't remember.
Where is my daughter, Maura?
- I think we did, yeah. - Yeah.
It's always so much better when you can cross-shoot,
'cause you're reacting in the moment.
You get the real reactions.
We did so many different versions of this.
We did one where we're both really crying.
Yeah.
A real emotional one.
I cried watching this.
I cut a lot of different versions. This is a little bit of...
A little bit trying to get the emotion and the comedy.
You guys also do a great job too here, going from that comedy
to the truth here, which is
part of what makes the, I think, movie work better.
Why don't you drive yourself to fucking Petco and find a fucking husband?
Or go breastfeed a squirrel, you sad excuse for a woman.
Shit!
So this is really Tina and Amy. They rehearsed this fight.
We did rehearse it.
- That was another thing we rehearsed. - This was real mud.
That mud was so foul by the time we got there, too.
'Cause that yard was put in the set a month earlier.
And it was all decomposing.
And they had added fertilizer to try and keep the grass going,
so, by this time, it was pretty, pretty gross.
- Smelled like a lobster tank. - It was pretty rank, yeah.
And we knew we could only get this once and get you guys dirty once.
I love the way they fight like sisters.
...straight on PoolsideBitchFights.com.
Kick her in the tits!
Haley is my kid, not yours!
These parents.
All they wanted to do is just have a good third act of life.
I think Jim and Dianne were genuinely...
Jim and Dianne were genuinely shocked when they saw the house,
when they came back.
Yeah, 'cause they hadn't been on the set.
They didn't see anything.
You lying mofos!
I'm gonna kill you.
Stop it. Stop it! We are fed up. We have no energy for this goddamn shit.
This little scene, when I first read the script, Paula,
was one of the things that made me fall in love with it,
was what these parents say to their children.
- It was so surprising. - Yeah. I was so happy to keep this in.
It used to take place at the retirement home area.
Right, right.
We are so tired of the both of you.
We're so tired.
- It's just so the truth. - She's so good.
When I wrote it, I thought, I was picturing her
topping him volume-wise and, of course,
the brilliant Dianne Wiest, who is my favorite ever,
just said it very quietly.
We keep trying to pass you the baton. You won't take it.
Take it!
Just take the fucking baton!
One eyebrow up.
- I love Tina's face there. - I love that look.
Tina is such a 12-year-old right there.
I love it so much.
...and stop following us around like we're gonna die any minute.
I've experienced that with my parents,
that Maura just did there,
where the parents, you think that the other one's the bad guy,
getting yelled at, and you're also included.
This is a good stunt.
So this is now outside.
So this is the sinkhole that we built outside.
- And it had a practical pool. - It looked like a Disney ride.
And it was Styrofoam and stuff down the sides, painted,
and went down to this real pool.
Right here, Tina does her own stunt. She jumps...
I know, but you can see the wire in this.
She jumps 25 feet.
- She looks like Wonder Woman. - That was pretty major.
It looks like a '70s effect.
Fantastic.
I like that he works at the TSA.
That water, we did it, it was 3:00 in the morning,
outside in the parking lot, where this set was.
And also that blue paint was stinging your eyes.
Yeah, they had to flush our eyes.
I had a moment when we were shooting that, that I was like,
"Is this the movie?"
I would never write a movie with this giant set.
I'm remember being like, "I'm so glad
"I don't have to get in the sinkhole."
Just so happy.
It melted the set of hair extensions that I had on.
Did it really? The stuff in the water?
And my other favorite thing was that night, at the end of that night,
I went and took my tampon out,
and it looked like a Rocket pop.
That blue stuff was going inside me.
Oh, my God.
My goodness.
- That's amazing. - Oh, my God.
Well, it is like a tampon commercial, where they have that blue...
Yeah, just wear one all the time.
Betty, this looks like an audition for, like, The River Wild.
That's what it would look like if you're in a Chilean miners movie.
Why I'm not playing Gal Gadot's grandmother
in Wonder Woman is beyond me.
By the way, this is also all practical. Tina crawled...
You just scurried up this thing. I thought it was gonna take forever,
and you did it the very first time.
These ladies are superhuman.
- Just superheroes. - It was fun to do stuff like that.
- Yeah, we never get to do that. - Was it fun?
Those two screwing, my favorite.
I begged you to keep it. I'm so glad it stayed in.
It did.
We didn't explain how he could just poke right through her pants, but...
I think he pulled them down by the elastic.
The elastic. And of course they're elastic.
- There we go. Those two. - Oh, my God. Those two.
Look at... Amy's vomiting right in the back.
She's finally throwing up.
You jumped into a sinkhole.
Look at little Molly Ringwald on the wall.
We love you, Molly.
It's called Mom strength. I basically She-Hulked.
So that's the end of the long party sequence.
- That completes... - The party sequence.
- Forty-five minutes or something. - Yeah.
Did you smell my head?
Yeah, smells good.
This is a sweet moment.
Remember, I can throw a car at you.
And this is pretty genuine, too. They were seeing all this for the first time.
I love Amy in this scene.
I love how bratty you are allowing yourself to be.
Because I did not allow myself to be bratty till I was 41.
It was so fun to have Dianne be angry at me,
because she's such a good actress.
She's in bare feet.
Too fucking bad.
And I'll say whatever I wanna say
because I am cuntingly disappointed in you!
You guys can put me in a coffin now, 'cause I got Dianne to say "cuntingly."
I love when she says, "Fuck off."
Your asses are getting up at 6:00 a.m. to clean up.
- What? - And put some underwear on!
What are you doing? I mean, it's just shameful!
God, you guys need to chill out.
Oh, God!
Calm down, Mom!
Fuck off!
- "Fuck off." She just yells, "Fuck off." - "Fuck off!"
And sassy walk away.
Just a moment of sass on the way out. The walk of glory.
Dear diary, tonight we had a party that turned into a foam orgy.
I made out with a sweet, hot, funny guy who really liked me
until he fell down butthole-first on a ballerina.
What a night.
- Asses up! - Now!
That day Barbra Streisand was visiting the set.
And remember, we were gonna ask her to come through the door
just for this DVD extra?
And we all got too scared to ask.
We got too nervous to do it.
- But she was lovely. - My gosh. I was so excited.
The day before my parents got there,
and my mother lives to ever meet Barbra Streisand, so that was devastating.
My parents happened to be there.
That's right. They met her.
They were so pumped.
You went to your mom. She was like, "Play it cool, Eileen."
She said to herself, "Play it cool, Eileen."
I love this moment.
- Bobby's so calm. - He's so calm.
He slept really well.
It's 5:00 in the afternoon.
He also had sex for the first time in nine years.
Look at the black around her lips.
Remember how the studio kept saying,
"I don't understand, why is she looking for her earrings?"
Yeah, but then once they figured out she had a black moustache
'cause he had black on his dick, they did not like that at first.
We had to sell 'em on that.
What?
I mean, classic.
Okay. I'm pretty sure I swallowed all my credit cards,
so I'm gonna go deal with that.
Come on, my love.
Happy Birthday!
These two just kill me.
This is one of my favorite moments in the script, and so fun to see it.
I could put this one in the condo, if you like.
No.
I love this scene.
- My parents love this part. - I know. So do mine.
'Cause they just love each other so much.
My mom still scratches my dad's back.
Scratch my back?
- They're so great together. - I know.
They love each other.
There?
I love this, too.
Pulling the focus over like that, and seeing the two of them.
Shut down.
- It's not over yet. - Kate's like, "No way."
- Kate's like, "Not yet!" - Not yet!
Gonna milk it.
You've done enough.
Don't you have a plane to catch?
When are you gonna learn that your help isn't always wanted?
She's gotta change her game.
I won a Natchie award for that.
Jesus Christ.
You know who doesn't have any Natchies?
People I can't name.
- Don't have to answer right away... - No.
Please, just go home.
I have no more home.
Look at her eyes.
Pulling out the granddaughter card.
God damn it.
"God damn it."
- He's so sweet. - He's so cute.
He reminds me of my dad.
That's everything I have.
Can you fix the damage for that?
No.
But I'll help you do it.
Is Maura still in town?
I was so happy to wear overalls again, 'cause,
man, I wore a lot of overalls in the early '90s.
- Did you? - I did, too.
- So comfy. - Yeah, me, too.
Tina, you did all this just on the spot,
and we were all laughing so hard.
- So great. - Tickling the head?
Stroking it like a horse might be my favorite one.
So this is a scene that we reshot.
So this is the middle of January.
- It was freezing outside. - It was cold.
I think we were heating the stone you were on.
Yeah, we were under a tent, I think.
'Cause we went back to the real house.
Yeah, this scene had a lot of heavy lifting you had to do in it.
Trying to get a lot of stuff out.
Yep.
I'm sorry that I didn't tell you that Haley was with me.
Will you forgive me for that?
I'm gonna milk it for a while.
Okay.
This is actually a scene where,
honestly, I had to depend on Paula a lot,
because I don't have a sister,
and I didn't quite understand how sisters fight and make up.
It's so different than when sisters and brothers fight.
But there's already this underlying love.
Yeah, but just how far?
In some relationships, you can push each other
and still come back.
You know how far you can stretch the elastic. It's really...
Quite something.
"And some sisters live their lives in chaos, like a goddamn tornado,
"so the other sister has to clean it up all the time.
"So, they're both wrong. The end."
We used to joke that, that was just gonna be the end of the movie.
- So they're both wrong. The end. - They're both wrong. The end.
And then just credits.
And then you both look at the camera and go,
"Thank you for watching."
We go, "If you or anyone you know has a sister, call this number."
"Read more about it."
I love the slow push on this, too.
...say goodbye to this house and who we were here.
Chris Beck also did a great job with the score.
This is the theme that's throughout the whole movie,
but it's the first time you hear it emotionally, which is great.
He's smart. You need to lock that guy down.
I blew it with him.
That's right. We were also setting up this next scene.
Yeah, there was a lot of stuff we had to do in this scene.
Yeah, it was a lot.
And you're in your Ophelia dress, so that you...
Yeah, and this was a reshoot, so I had gained a solid 10,
so I could make sure that I...
- Well, you look adorable in it. - Thanks.
What do I do when I see him?
See, I'm asking for help already.
Find a way to make him come to you.
But go big.
Make it clear that you need him.
"Let me get back to my painting."
Look at this little smile. I love that.
Help!
There were moments in this, when I wrote this part,
that I was worried that it would just be seen
as the typical end of a romantic comedy,
where the guy saves the girl and all that.
But when someone's such a caretaker, that's their problem,
is they will never let anyone help them, ever.
No. And I love the image of floating in the pool.
It's such a fresh image.
It's allowing herself to be helpless, which is so impossible, and still is for me.
Ike would joke that he felt like he was Frankenstein picking up a doll.
He really does look like, "Frankenstein wants his doll."
Look how still you are, too.
- You aren't even breathing. - I love it.
- It was so funny. - I was really happy with this shot.
- You guys look great. - I love the way the sun is just...
He holds your nose.
I love that sun
comin' in soft. The rainbows.
What music is playing here? Is this the score?
- No, it's a song. - It's a song, right?
What about your dick burns?
Nice to meet you, Dick Burns.
Yeah, this is...
So they're gonna be together.
She's going to let somebody help her.
I know.
So we shot this later, too. Because people were like,
"How'd this hole get filled?"
We cleaned the inside of the house, but people were like,
"But there's a giant sinkhole in the back."
- We were like, "Right, right, right." - We had to fix that.
Look how rainy it is here. It's literally about to rain.
Kate is proud of herself.
A rare occurrence in her character.
I remember we shot this on the earlier side.
Before the house was destroyed.
Yeah, before the house was destroyed. Exactly.
And we didn't know when it was going to happen.
I remember thinking, "This is going to be fun,
"how this house is going to be destroyed."
- Not knowing how insane it was gonna get. - Had no idea.
- How bad it would smell. - Yeah.
Thank you for bringing me Dave.
He's really quite the tender love maker.
Big Dave.
- Very big Dave. - All right.
Big, big, big, big, big boy.
Okay. I think Dave is just what you needed.
Yeah.
- Betty, I like your shirt and hair in this. - Thank you.
I feel like this should be
the next five years, a look for you. Just a breezy shirt.
- Breezy shirt. - Long shorts.
Mom, this guy wants to know if he can get 10% off his manicure
because he only has nine fingers.
Hang up. It's your grandpa pranking us.
I had my hairdresser in New York
tell me that story, that that actually happened in his salon.
Really?
Somebody fought for a 10% discount 'cause she had nine fingers, for a manicure.
There's the sister tree painted behind them.
That's right.
All right, everybody, gather up.
Painted by Haley, right?
On behalf of my co-owner Hae-Won and myself.
Thank you, Alex, for investing in our dreams.
Just here to do my part.
Hair part!
Oh, God. Here we go.
There is a lid for every pot.
"A lid for every pot."
- That's what my nana used to say. - Gonna fuckin' punch him in the dick.
Merry Christmas.
- Haley, you ready? - I'm coming!
Kate's little house.
- That little house was so cute. - Super cute.
That's all they need. And then the party house is now these little girls'.
Come on, let's go pick a room!
Really?
No, wheelie.
Come in!
If this doesn't smell like our Christmas, I will flip a table.
I like this costume because it's the trashy person
trying to be classy for Christmas.
- But still has shoulder cut-outs. - Yeah, looks good though.
- And it still looks so great. - Leather.
Leather skirt.
I just wanted this to be not too Christmassy, so we made it more Florida Christmas.
- So you could just be all red. - Florida Christmas.
Barry taking care of us here. Thanks, Barry.
- Yeah, thanks again, Barry. - So pretty.
We did this several times, and then this really beautiful moment
came out of it. So great.
At the premiere, I think I saw my dad wipe off a little bit of tear.
And my mom, too.
- And then, you remember... - My sister for sure.
We always knew we were gonna do this dance, but there was another scene
that was the family around the table, that was the ending of the movie.
- That's right. - And when we shot this,
I was watching it and I thought, "This is the ending."
We didn't shoot the other one.
We didn't even shoot the other one, because I was like,
- "This is the way to go out." - Didn't need to.
It was fun to do it nice and slow and just mark it.
- Face. Face. - I love this... Shit.
Jason!
- Paula! - Paula Pell.
Tina!
- PGA. - That's my golf championship.
You're a golfer.
Jay and John!
Jay and John.
Helped so much.
- Amy. - A.P.!
- Bloopers. - Shit.
God damn, I love bloopers.
I do, too. I always do.
Jeff Richmond and Brian Bell.
- Yeah, Richmond! - Love 'em.
- Barry. - Yay, Barry.
- Brian Bell. - Richard Hoover. Such a good job.
Beautiful production designer.
Lee Haxall, such a good editor.
What a nightmare of all the improv he must have had to go through.
I know, right?
My safe word is "Dow Jones Industrial Average."
This was all from John Cena.
My safe word is "pseudoparathyroidism."
- He just had those loaded. - He was locked and loaded.
He made you break a couple of times, Tina.
And I like it, 'cause Tina... You stay in it.
I stay in it, but also he made me sexually nervous.
He made me sexually nervous, and I'm a hard sell.
He broke something else.
That eye trick.
Sorry.
I love John Leguizamo.
I can't believe that you haven't farted this whole time.
He's got a great laugh.
No, they've been silent.
Okay, here we go.
Hae-Won.
Oh, my God.
Hae-Won.
I'm just gonna throw it away.
Could hear Jason laugh in this, which makes me so filled with joy.
Oh, my God. Your laugh is so contagious, it makes me laugh. And then...
Wait, I've got it.
I think you hear me cough,
'cause that's all I was doing, was coughing that day.
Hae-Won.
Everyone was doing a lot of pressing their fists
to their faces, trying to get through this.
I remember, the village was over in that corner, right?
I'm sorry.
This is my favorite one.
Let me just see if I'm pronouncing it correctly.
- Can't even get it out. - Can't even get to it.
Sorry.
Hae-Won.
- I can hear Jason. That's you. - Yeah.
- It's nice to hear you laugh. - That's when I knew we were done.
- Great job, everybody. - Here we go.
Nice job, everybody. Thanks for joining. It was fun.
Thank you. This was an amazing experience,
and I love you all so much.
Love you, Paula. Love you, Jason. Love you, Tina.
- Thank you for buying this DVD. - Yeah.
- We're all in bed together. - Thank you for buying this.
And if you listened this far, bless you.
Bless your hearts.
Bless you, and kiss your sister on the mouth.
Yup.
- Bye, everybody. - Bye, guys.
