1 00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:15,300 >>RACHAEL: I think, probably the funniest thing, and most difficult thing that happened during the first episode was... 2 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,699 Uh, something happened in the last scene, between Vivian and Aunt Jodie, where Vivivan's coverage, my coverage, got... 3 00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:28,500 I don't know, erased or something. So we had to reshoot it, about a week after we shot the original one. 4 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000 So what you see on the show is actually shot about a week apart. Barbara had to go off and get married, so... 5 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:45,000 I ended up acting opposite Susan Miller, our executive producer, and she was actually also my first Archibald and my first Aster. 6 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,500 So she's quite versatile as an actress. 7 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,000 >>DAN: I guess for me the biggest challenge was... disguising the fact that I'm a real klutz. 8 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Whereas the character's, you know, a New York City firefighter. 9 00:01:01,299 --> 00:01:05,000 >>NICOLE: The funny, kinda like behind-the scenes, thing that I remember at episode one is that... 10 00:01:05,099 --> 00:01:12,500 We were basically, like, guerilla shooting, in Battery Park, and so every time, like, you know, 11 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000 someone who even looked remotely like a cop would come by we'd all kind of, like, dive down into the grass and look... 12 00:01:18,099 --> 00:01:24,000 look very casual and, you know, hide the camera and everything. It was pretty fun. 13 00:01:24,099 --> 00:01:29,000 >>MITCHELL: I know for myself, while everyone else was, you know, all worried and trying to figure out 14 00:01:29,049 --> 00:01:33,500 what they're gonna do with their character, I'm like, "OK, all I have to do is kiss a pretty girl". 15 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000 "Like, ten times in a row". I'm like, "I think I'm gonna really enjoy working on this". 16 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,000 >>JESSY: Yeah, this is kind of just about the first couple of episodes in general. I was watching over them, 17 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,500 And I was thinking about the introdcutions to all the characters. And I was thinking about my reveal, 18 00:01:50,599 --> 00:02:00,000 which is the look up to the window, and I'm very like "What is this show gonna be?", like "What are we embarking upon?" 19 00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:06,000 >>JOHNNY: I remember this story that Mitch told me, about a webseries he was in, and he was having so much fun, 20 00:02:06,099 --> 00:02:12,500 and he really enjoyed it. Needless to say, looking at an audition notice, I was like, "Oh, I'm gonna go audition for this". 21 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,500 So I go to the website and I'm like, "You gotta be kidding me. It's the same webseries he was talking about. 22 00:02:17,699 --> 00:02:23,000 And so, I'm like, already half an hour late for the audition, and I finally get there and I run in, I'm like, 23 00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:31,000 "I'm so sorry, please. I'll just leave now if you don't want me to do this" and so then they're like, "No, no, just read, it's fine". 24 00:02:31,099 --> 00:02:37,000 And I read, and I was, like, so flustered and I just did it and I was like, "That was the worst audition I've ever done in my life" 25 00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:40,000 And then the next day they were like, "You got it!", and I was like, "Great". 26 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,000 >>RACHAEL: We actually, we did audition together, we had a callback together. And I was like, "Oh my God, she's intense, I like her" 27 00:02:47,099 --> 00:02:52,500 And I remember we were going over the sides and I think you said "I feel a lot more comfortable with Aster" 28 00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:55,000 And I was like, "I feel a lot more comfortable with Vivian". 29 00:02:55,099 --> 00:03:00,000 >>NICOLE: Yeah, that's like a funny thing that I've told people before, too. I'm like "Yeah, we were both up for both parts". 30 00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:07,000 Wouldn't that have been weird? You know, like, it almost feels wrong now. But yeah, totally, 31 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:15,000 I felt so much more in tune with Aster and I mean she's obviously so much more in tune with Vivian so just worked out really well. 32 00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:17,500 >>ASTER: You didn't think I'd let you go that easy, did you? 33 00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:20,500 >>VIVIAN: I'd hope not. 34 00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:40,500 OK, I have to go or I never will. 35 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000 >>ASTER: OK. Go. See you soon. 36 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,500 >>VIVIAN: Yeah, you will. 37 00:03:50,699 --> 00:03:58,000 >>RACHAEL: That dinamic is very much, Aster is the passionate one who, you know, and I think it's, the sexiness of it is... 38 00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:07,000 Is in that sort of devil-may-care type of thing. And I think that that is absolutely one of the things that attracts Vivian to Aster. 39 00:04:07,099 --> 00:04:10,500 And most people, I think, to that personality. 40 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000 >>AUNT JODIE: Hey Girls! Breakfast is on! 41 00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:16,000 >>VIVIAN: We'll be down in a minute. 42 00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:19,500 God, I just had sex in my aunt's house. 43 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,699 >>ASTER: I know, I was there. 44 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,500 >>VIVIAN: Does it show? 45 00:04:23,699 --> 00:04:26,000 >>ASTER: Oh, it shows. 46 00:04:26,699 --> 00:04:28,000 >>VIVIAN: We better get dresssed. 47 00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:31,000 >>ASTER: Don't you wanna shower first? 48 00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:43,500 >>JESSY: What episode is it where you guys do your PA announcement? I was so, like, affected by it. 49 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,199 >>ARCHIBALD: Hey. >>ELIZABETH: Hey. 50 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000 >>ARCHIBALD: So, what should I say? 51 00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:56,100 >>ELIZABETH: Just give a shout out about the play. 52 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,000 >>ARCHIBALD: Um... here's a little shout out to you all. 53 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,500 >>JESSY: It was so intimate, cause you just picture these high school kids, in this, like, little room... 54 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,000 And they're just, like... the way that they were talking quietly and they would, like, lean in and do their... 55 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,500 So sweet! And it made me so excited to see what happenes. 56 00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:25,800 >>ALEXIS: Let me just say, the first time I met Josh, I just remember thinking "Well, this isn't gonna be difficult at all". 57 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:34,000 Because he is charming, and just the sweetest, sweetest, most respectful man, and I just have such a blast working with him. 58 00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:39,500 And so those scenes are really sweet. It really does take me back to high school, I remember that feeling, 59 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:44,900 The butterflies in your stomach, you know, and being sorta clumsy, I think that's what's so funny about Elizabeth, 60 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:51,500 She's so clumsy! And, you know, just really likes him a lot. Genuinely, in a really sweet way. 61 00:05:51,600 --> 00:06:01,500 >>NICOLE: What's everybody's favorite scene? To shoot? Yeah, to shoot, or to then watch, definitely two different things. 62 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000 >>DAN: Just the very first episode, when we were sitting on the stairs. 63 00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:13,000 Just kind of sets the tone for the dinamic with the characters, and also I think we clicked really well just working together. 64 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000 So that was a great thing to kick off with. 65 00:06:16,699 --> 00:06:24,000 >>RACHAEL: My favorite scene to shoot though was probably the one where you kept changing outfits in episode four. 66 00:06:25,699 --> 00:06:29,500 >>ASTER: I know it's not really your scene but there'll probably some people from school you know there. 67 00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:35,800 OK, would you think like a girl for a moment, not like my girlfriend? 68 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,199 >>VIVIAN: So sorry, it's just... all in one package here. 69 00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:50,000 >>MITCHELL: As far as watching, I like watching everyone else's scenes, because I don't get to watch them when it happens. 70 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,000 And I would love to be right next to the camera and see it in action. So when it's done, 71 00:06:55,100 --> 00:07:00,300 I'm as eager as everyone that watch the show for the episode to come out so I can see it. 72 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:08,500 >>ALEXIS: My favorite scene to shoot was the locker scene, which is really funny because we had to get the timing right, 73 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:14,500 We were constantly trying to figure out, like, if I was walking too fast, walking too slow, and when we shot it, 74 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,000 I actually did, like, hit the locker. I remember Tina being like, "It looked so real!" and I'm like, 75 00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:25,000 "That's because it was real. I literally bumped right into it". But it was just a lot of fun, and I also love that that's... 76 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:32,500 Really the first time I open up to him about something I'm afraid of, about being worried about being good. 77 00:07:33,699 --> 00:07:35,500 >>ARCHIBALD: Oh my God, are you OK? 78 00:07:35,699 --> 00:07:37,300 >>ELIZABETH: I'm such a mess. 79 00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:40,300 >>ARCHIBALD: My fault, I should've looked both ways before opening the door. 80 00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:42,399 >>ELIZABETH: I was concentrating on my lines. 81 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000 >>ARCHIBALD: Yeah, I'm pretty oblivious when I draw. 82 00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:46,600 >>ELIZABETH: Bet you don't bump into things. 83 00:07:46,699 --> 00:07:49,000 >>ARCHIBALD: I tend to trip. It's not pretty. 84 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000 >>ELIZABETH: It's just... I can't not be good in this. 85 00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:55,500 >>ARCHIBALD: You will be. 86 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,100 >>ELIZABETH: You don't know! 87 00:07:57,699 --> 00:07:59,000 >>ARCHIBALD: I guess not. 88 00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:02,000 >>ELIZABETH: People expect things. I gotta bring it. You know? 89 00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:03,100 >>ARCHIBALD: Yeah... 90 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:10,000 >>ALEXIS: I think it's really sweet, it's the begining of a friendship that's deeper than just a little crush. 91 00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:18,500 >>JOSHUA: So I think one of my favorite scenes to watch and work on, I'm always difficult like this, but one of the... 92 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:27,100 I guess most fun ones was the episode you and I rode the bike on. Because, like, you know, how many times have... 93 00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:32,000 I don't... I can't remember the last time I rode a bike, but let alone a low-rider bike, right? 94 00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:40,000 And having somebody on the back, I mean, that's tough... For all you guys out there who saw that - it wasn't easy. 95 00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:42,200 >>RACHAEL: I was white-knuckling that boy! 96 00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:51,000 >>NICOLE: I had a very different experience shooting 7 and 8, because all of a sudden, like, I was like, 97 00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:59,000 "Oh, there's the character, there she is!". And I love... I love the writing on all the episodes, 98 00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:07,000 But I loved the writing on those episodes, I think the best so far. And although on the production side, 99 00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:12,500 They were difficult scenes to shoot, because it was freezing cold and we were outside and there were things going wrong... 100 00:09:13,299 --> 00:09:23,000 Like, it wasn't an easy shoot, but I felt more connected I think to those scenes than any that I've shot before. 101 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000 >>ASTER: Obviously you're not here to convince me to stay... 102 00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:39,500 Nice! Wow, that's just great! 103 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,500 >>VIVIAN: You can't expect things to be the way they were for us in the city. It's a different world here. 104 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,000 >>ASTER: No! It's not that different! You have the same choices, you're just choosing differently. 105 00:09:49,299 --> 00:09:56,000 >>VIVIAN: No, I'm not. I just need time to figure this out. Why can't you see that? 106 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:02,000 >>ASTER: Because it sucks seeing it from the outside, Vivian. And that's what I am now, an outsider. 107 00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:05,000 >>VIVIAN: No, you're not. You'll never be. 108 00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:10,000 >>ASTER: Just admit that things have changed. You've changed. 109 00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:15,299 >>NICOLE: And so it was just, like, exciting, on that level, and it was also like taking stock of how far we'd come. 110 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,000 So that was really cool. 111 00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:24,000 >>DAN: It's amazing the writing is so economical. You know, that you shoot these short little scenes and yet, 112 00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:29,000 I think we can all really track an amazing amount of developement and who the characters are, 113 00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:34,800 And we get more information with every episode, and I think that's like an asset that the show has. 114 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:44,000 >>JESSY: When we shot, like, the final scene in episode eight, in the cafe. I mean that was two lines. One each. 115 00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:49,000 You know, and I felt like just with that one line, like, something had happened. 116 00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:57,299 >>VIVIAN: Hey. Like some company? 0:10:59.000,0:11.00.000 >>SOPHIE: Sure. 117 00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:05,000 And on another topic, this is the first time for me and probably the first time for most of us, 118 00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:11,000 That we've had the chance to stay with a character and develope a character for an extended period of time. 119 00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:14,299 And it's just been so much fun. 120 00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:23,000 >>MITCHELL: Yeah, definitely in episodes 7 and 8, I think there's the most drama, with every group that's going on in the show. 121 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000 I know Sophie and I, we finally, like, have it out, instead oflittle arguments then walk away. 122 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Like, it goes down in those episodes, to the point where you can't just go back to the status quo from there. 123 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:45,000 And just, every relationship is really building up to the point where I'm like, 124 00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:49,500 "We need to start the next season immediately so we can know what's gonna go on". 125 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:57,000 >>JOSHUA: It's easy to relate because I came from a small, white community so all the things that Archibald deals with, 126 00:11:57,500 --> 00:12:05,000 It's easy to call back to, I mean, it's so easy. And as a matter of fact, on of the characters that I get into it with, 127 00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:13,500 In one of the scenes, he antagonizes me, it reminds me of one of my old highschool bullies. He was an older guy. 128 00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:19,000 I mean, he didn't pick on me, but, he kind of did. I mean, we didn't fight but... it was just funny because in one of the scenes, 129 00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:22,299 It was easy to recall, and I kinda got angry a little bit. 130 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,000 >>STERNS: Hey, look, it's Picasso. Did you, uh... Did you come to draw more of the student body? 131 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000 You're not a big homo, are you, Archibald? 132 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,500 Cause I saw you up in the bleachers yesterday, drawing your little pictures of us when we were getting all sweaty on the court. 133 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:39,600 >>ARCHIBALD: Get off me, man! 134 00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:46,300 >>JOSHUA: And until you're exposed to it, sometimes you just don't know. And I think that a show like this, can open people's eyes. 135 00:12:46,500 --> 00:12:54,000 And it should, we should have this, you know. Because, whether it's the color of your skin, or your sexual orientation, 136 00:12:54,100 --> 00:12:57,100 It doesn't matter. You know, you should be cool because you're cool. 137 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,000 >>VIVIAN: Well, look, I gotta get going. I gotta catch a train back to the city. 138 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000 >>ARCHIBALD: Oh. You, uh... you're gonna see your boyfriend? 139 00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:14,500 Girlfriend? Really? Hey, it's cool. 140 00:13:15,799 --> 00:13:17,000 >>VIVIAN: Is it? 141 00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:22,000 >>ARCHIBALD: Isn't it? What, you don't think we have gay people around here? 142 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,000 >>VIVIAN: Do you? 143 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,000 >>ALEXIS: That's why the show is so important because it's about acceptance. It's not about one thing or another. 144 00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:37,000 It's about accepting each other for our differences, that's what makes us so beautiful. That's how we learn from each other. 145 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:48,000 >>NICOLE: Prompted by a question that my mother asked me. My mother who is, like, very supportive and really cool and, 146 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:57,000 You know, fairly comfortable, though the tag line before she tells anybody about the show is "just so you know, 147 00:13:57,100 --> 00:14:04,500 There are girls kissing in this show". So, you know, to put that out there. But what's been kinda cool, first of all, 148 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:15,000 When she saw the first episode she goes "Oh, wow, it's really interesting that Vivian's dad didn't even blink when they kissed". 149 00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:22,000 And that was something that fans picked up on, it was something we all picked up on, it was so cool to hear from, you know, 150 00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:29,000 My parents' generation picking up on that. And I think, you know, it's a really important show in that way cause I keep... 151 00:14:29,399 --> 00:14:37,699 Kind of trying to explain to her and to other adults and whatnot, that this is the way things are now. This is the way things are. 152 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:45,000 It's not even, you know, yeah, we have specific parts of the country that are more liberal than others and all, you know... 153 00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:52,700 You're just gonna have that, no matter what. But in terms of our generation, it's - even those who have kind of a problem with it, 154 00:14:52,799 --> 00:15:02,500 I feel like it's more like "Alright, live and let live. Whatever". That's almost the worst of it that you get in any normal basis. 155 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,000 And I don't know, I think that's so exciting, bringing that to the surface, I think is incredibly important. 156 00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:16,700 Not only for our generation, but just to represent our generation. So I think it's something so great and such a difference about us.
