CREE SUMMER: Hi, Jupiter.
Oh my god, you guys, I have butterflies.
I've been dying to see you guys.
ALYSIA REINER: I know.
Don't smile, stop it.
Get everybody on this fucking thing now.
REBECCA METZ: I'm texting Judy.
CREE SUMMER: I bought, OK, I won't say it, but I-- you know.
PAMELA ADLON: Don't.
OK.
OK, we're-- look at her.
CREE SUMMER: [LAUGHING]
PAMELA ADLON: Look she's got a glass of vino.
ALYSIA REINER: I know.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
REBECCA METZ: I'm sitting here waiting, I'm like,
what the fuck am I doing? I need to--
Am I allowed to drink on this, or no?
Can I-- can I-- can come?
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
JUDY GOLD: I miss you all so much.
PAMELA ADLON: Hi, everybody.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
PAMELA ADLON: I just want to say hi.
And I mean, I hope everybody's great.
We've all been in quarantine.
Rebecca Metz and her husband live a peaceful life
with their fucking cat.
And they get to do whatever the fuck they want.
And in no danger of exposure.
Yeah.
Where?
I had gloves from where we had to give our cat weird medicine
in her ear, and my friend works at a hospital
so I went and brought--
That's so cool.
--her gloves.
JUDY REYES: Oh, that's great.
So it's been--
you know, the eighth episode of this season was on last night.
And you guys were all magnificent in it.
And I was so excited to have a chat with you guys,
because I've been in a vacuum.
And I don't watch my shows with anybody,
and my kids are all on a different path.
And so, it's just--
I'm so excited that you guys got to see it.
I was-- it was so beautiful and I've never appeared
on screen more in my entire life.
And it was the most, I just--
I was speechless and blown away.
Because it's always like, I'm always cutting room.
And I'm always like, hey, I'm tall and here's a funny quip!
I hate myself, bye!
And then--
REBECCA METZ: You're gonna have a new career
as a cabaret performer, like you're gonna have a--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
CREE SUMMER: I have to tell you ladies
that I thought that last night's episode was
a bona fide healing.
And as someone who is going, I will share honestly,
through a separation, last night was
some heavy duty shit for me.
I loved it.
I loved the forgiveness.
I loved attempting to forgive.
And sometimes you just have to accept just have
to get into radical acceptance, because forgiveness is just
too- - Oh yeah.
--fucking hard sometimes.
And god, I loved it.
I thought it was tight, like a virgin mosquito, every scene.
JUDY REYES: [LAUGHS]
CREE SUMMER: I was so proud of it, Jupiter.
JUDY REYES: You should be, because you had balls
like I can't even believe.
Because as audacious as you've been about everything
you're going through, and going ahead and being
so revealing on the show.
And I-- I had the opportunity to catch
up with the entire season.
It's so-- it's just a full circle
with these relationships.
With such-- literally, just a guest
appearance that you get to make, and such a part of Pamela's
existence that we get to come.
And you coming in and having such
a journey, with an attempt to get over it,
but at such a hard time.
And so funny with it, and so honest.
I can't wait to see it, I've seen you on "Better Things,"
I'm catching up.
Of course, people have the opportunity
to catch up with the show now.
It's like, oh my god, you're on "Better Things" too,
and all of that stuff.
And they're just like I love that show, she's amazing,
what is she like.
Oh god, I get that all the time.
ALYSIA REINER: Everyone thinks-- [INTERPOSING VOICES]
JUDY REYES: It's like she's a fucking rock star.
It's like I've known you forever.
JUDY REYES: And then they can't stop going on and on about what
Pamela Adlon is like.
In that episode tonight, so much about
people being together.
It's so exactly what everybody is starving for right now.
It just felt like being with your people.
Watching it brought me right back to the feeling of making
it, and I needed that so badly.
You know what was interesting--
I mean, besides the fact that it was flawless.
But you know when you get together for a night,
and the way the night progresses organically.
Where it's just, you're like, oh, let's go in the other room.
And then you end up doing shit you never planned on doing.
That was-- it was like a seamless--
it was like you went to someone's house,
it was like, well what happened?
Well, we played piano, we just--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
[LAUGHS]
When I read the--
[INAUDIBLE]
Go ahead, sorry baby.
No, when I read the Jolene part, like when I read it,
I was like, they're never gonna-- this
is never gonna end up in it.
Then also, when we did the letter burning and you let us--
PAMELA ADLON: You, Alicia, and Judy Reyes
wrote your own letters.
I remember them.
PAMELA ADLON: We didn't have letters for you guys,
so you fucking wrote those letters.
And those were like, they were--
they're so profound and weird.
And that one thing where you say, I didn't understand the--
you didn't understand "The Matrix."
By the way, David cried when he watched it,
because I wrote that for him.
Because we had a thing after we watched "The Matrix," where I
was like, if you didn't understand that movie,
I can't be married to you.
Like, I can't.
JUDY GOLD: Oh my god.
ALYSIA REINER: You can't be my person.
And he got it, yeah.
PAMELA ADLON: And Judy Reyes, in your letter
you wrote about somebody who's not--
who's not emotionally going to be at your--
like, it was just so out of left field and it's so weird.
Because I needed to know if somebody played the piano.
And I thought Cree might.
And none of you bitches, and then Judy Gold was like, I do!
And I was like so what-- what you play?
I play like Mozart and shit.
What do you want?
And you weren't sure if she was serious.
And I was like, get the fuck out of here.
And she was like, I was a music major in college.
Still think she's fucking yanking my chain.
And so she brought that one piece.
And that's exactly how she texts, right?
I was a music major in college.
PAMELA ADLON: The glass is shattering.
But when she came and she brought the piece,
I knew that that was going to be a little something for Annie.
I just wanted to sit her down and have her play that piece.
And Annie just fucking cut it.
That was the most incredible thing.
CREE SUMMER: Annie cut the shit out of this episode.
Annie cut the shit out of it.
And you know, I texted her-- or not texted her, but I DMed her.
And I just said, you cut the shit out of this episode.
And she said, well, I have a generous and kind
director, that's why.
So she was loving you behind your back.
JUDY GOLD: Who's that?
CREE SUMMER: Really.
Annie, the editor.
No, I meant the director.
[LAUGHS]
CREE SUMMER: She's called, Pam Adelaide,
which we never get right.
Can I just say, a lot of my friends
are saying to me, the deep gratitude of the portrayal
of sisterhood--
Yes.
--on this show.
Because I hate the propaganda I see on television of the way
that women treat each other.
Right, right
CREE SUMMER: All I know is, when I was hanging on by a mosquito
cunt hair and my man had just left, I opened my door
and there was Jupiter, right there, with a pizza and a hug.
[INAUDIBLE]
That's Pam, and just the most understanding--
PAMELA ADLON: Two pizzas.
Two fucking pepperoni pizzas.
I will say that that's how women have survived forever,
is with--
by the love and support of their sisters.
That's how we've always gotten by.
And it's so nice to finally see it portrayed honestly.
JUDY GOLD: Because you see the--
CREE SUMMER: We know how to be friends.
--you see guys, at bars you know, when they're bonding
or they're doing--
let's play-- let's, you know, let's play catch or football.
I have never seen anything like this on television, ever.
But we all know this is how it really happens.
This is always how it's been, and we've never seen it.
And it doesn't even occur to you until you see it
and go, oh, this is actually people I know!
This is how my friends actually behave,
and I've just never gotten to see it.
I've never seen any women who seem like the women
I actually know in my life on TV.
She does.
And Sam-- I mean, Sam is aware that she does--
that protectiveness of her girls also comes
from her own deep bitterness.
She has to get over it for her sake and for her kids' sake.
She knows that shit.
But I agree with Judy--
maybe it's a Judy-Judy love--
that, fuck you, because he's still fucking a girl
that's like half his age.
So yeah, fuck you.
JUDY GOLD: And it was--
JUDY REYES: So he still wants it a little easy,
because marriage is more than that shit, you know.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
But there was that--
that split second where Sam was like, am I going go there.
Nah, not worth it.
She did go there.
Because she's like, yeah well, at least I
won't have to ice my one ball.
JUDY GOLD: But like she didn't really,
I mean it wasn't in his face, you know what I mean?
When Judy-- like, all the improvs,
when Judy Gold is in there and she goes, I'm eating!
JUDY GOLD: [LAUGHS]
PAMELA ADLON: I'm eating.
Remember all the cheese you kept eating?
[INAUDIBLE] couldn't stay down.
[AUDIO OUT] started going down south.
I was like, I fucking ate so much.
And then I was all--
every time they cut to me I'm fucking shoving
something down my throat.
REBECCA METZ: Just like Brad Pitt.
You and Brad Pitt, always eating on camera.
Yeah, and you know what, we have
very similar bodies, as well.
ALYSIA REINER: He's an ectomorph right?
CREE SUMMER: You guys, can we talk about the patron
saint of divorce kids?
REBECCA METZ: (GASP) That was so sweet.
That was amazing.
Even my son Ben said something about it.
That was born from a--
that was born from a real moment.
That was a real thing.
That was dinner.
Cree calls me the patron saint of divorced woman.
And so, we gave it to Duke.
And then-- I mean, I love that scene so much.
And it was a contender, literally,
to be on the cutting room floor because we had so much content.
And last minute I was just like, I need to get Cuete in here,
who plays Rey.
Cuete's so good
JUDY GOLD: He's awesome.
PAMELA ADLON: He's like, you want
to retire before you're 85?
I'm here to talk about money.
Oh, and [AUDIO DROPS] because that shit's real,
like, and I said that's [AUDIO DROPS]
you got to say that.
And he goes, am I allowed to say that?
I'm like, yes!
We're not doing a fucking Nickelodeon
show, for the seventeenth time!
[LAUGHTER]
No, I loved it.
It's so beautiful.
It's again, just that community taking care of each other.
And what a hard-ass journey divorce is,
and everything helps.
I mean I had Thanksgiving dinner 10 seconds after my separation,
with Jupiter and her family.
And her daughter spoke to my daughters
about being children of divorce.
And this is the way we care for each other
when real friends gather.
And that is a truth that people need to see and be reminded of,
especially right now.
It's true.
ALYSIA REINER: And the 108-year-old
woman who divorced--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Don't talk about Pearl.
Oh my god.
REBECCA METZ: Oh, is she gone?
She's frozen for me.
I lost her.
She's frozen for me.
CREE SUMMER: Hi Judy.
JUDY GOLD: I can't--
I love you guys so much.
I can't even believe it.
CREE SUMMER: I love you guys so much, too.
I'm so glad we're friends.
It was so great to see your scene with Rebecca.
You guys looked so hot, and that chemistry.
CREE SUMMER: Ooh!
Talk about that [INAUDIBLE].
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
JUDY GOLD: And Rebecca's like, oh whatever.
And I'm like, yeah you can be with me.
CREE SUMMER: And how much did you love--
REBECCA METZ: --to get to the kiss.
Like I didn't realize we just would jump, like, put your
mouth on my mouth, right away.
And then Celia walks up.
I love Celia walking by and wanting to join in.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Close out the other Zoom.
(SINGING) [THEME SONG TO "ZOOM"] We're gonna zoom,
zoom, zoom, zooma, zooma, zoom.
We're gonna zooma, zooma, zooma, zoom.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
JUDY GOLD: Remember?
Box 350, Boston, Mass, 02144!
JUDY REYES: All I used to think when
I watched "Zoom" was like, why aren't they wearing shoes?
I don't understand.
CREE SUMMER: Did they not wear shoes?
JUDY REYES: It's like, give these white kids some shoes,
please.
PAMELA ADLON: They were always barefoot!
That's hilarious.
And they always-- somebody always had a broken arm.
