- I mean, I'll say this.
I don't think you'll take offense to this.
I think you've even said this.
- I don't take offense to anything.
- In the best possible way,
you're kind of an old lady.
[Elizabeth laughs]
- I am.
[upbeat music]
Well, this is my friend Jesse Plemens.
- Hi.
- And we met in Texas.
- In a little trailer,
jumped right into it and started talking
about this affair that we were going to have.
- Yeah, that's how our relationship began,
was talking about the affair we were gonna have on camera.
- Yeah, breaking it down.
- I was just very excited to work with Jesse,
because I think he's a really good actor.
I didn't know anything about him as a human being,
but I just thought he was a fabulous actor.
- Well, thanks friend.
I felt the exact same way.
I was, yeah.
Been a fan of Lizzie's work for a long time,
and knew nothing about her as a person,
but I feel like I had heard a lot of really good things.
Seemed like pretty quickly we approached things
in a similar way.
It was immediately like, all right,
this is gonna be okay.
This is gonna be fun.
Yeah. [Elizabeth laughs]
But there is that moment- - Yeah, there's that moment.
- in the beginning where it was like-
- Where you're nervous. - is this?
Yeah.
I'm going to be spending a lot of time
with this person for months and months.
- Yeah.
- And you can tell pretty quickly.
- Yeah, and you know what my favorite is?
Is when I think I know what's going on,
and then, like, three months later I'm like,
"Oh, that person surprised me."
But that didn't happen with you.
- Yeah, no surprises. - 'Cause it all worked out.
Yeah, no.
No, it all worked out from day.
I felt like we presented who we were early on
and it didn't really change.
Potentially.
Maybe I'm a psychopath, I don't know.
[contemplative music]
- I mean, I'll say this.
I don't think you'll take offense to this.
I think you've even said this.
- I don't take offense to anything.
- In the best possible way,
you're kind of an old lady.
[Elizabeth laughing]
- I am.
I agree.
- You have said that.
- All my friends say it. [laughs]
They usually say old man actually.
- Old man? - Yeah. [laughs]
- In a refreshing way.
That's like, very polite,
and then outta nowhere will just get very honest.
- Oh. [Elizabeth laughs]
Like an old lady who's just kinda like, screw it.
- My favorite thing about Jesse,
he's, like, always very present
with how he engages and listens with the world.
- It's a way to like, counteract the nerves
and strangeness of everything.
- [Elizabeth] But you're like that with everywhere you are.
I think.
- I try, yeah, well, thanks.
- You really are present and engaged
with his surroundings and people that he is around.
[lively music]
- What parting gifts did you all give each other?
Oof.
- We weren't big gift givers, our crew.
- That's not what our friendship is about.
- No. [laughs]
- We did, as a cast.
- [Elizabeth] Yeah.
- Which-
- [Elizabeth] We made hats.
- We made hats.
- We made very understated hats, like our acting.
- Yep. Super classy.
And didn't someone make-
- Backpacks. - some posters?
Like, some sort of vintage looking posters?
- Unbelievable posters from our art department.
- Yeah.
- These, like, vintage posters that we actually
should have just used for the show, but we didn't.
But they're beautiful vintage posters.
I feel like the horror movie-
- Yeah. - posters.
- I forgot I have one of those somewhere.
- I do too.
- I gotta pull it out.
- I think I actually got one of each. [laughs]
- Yeah.
- Because I'm obsessed with myself. [laughs]
[Jesse laughs]
Favorite scene together.
[gentle music]
Oh, we had so many fun ones.
I think it might have been when I first,
when we're in, sometimes they kind of blur together.
But, 'cause we have, like, a lot of,
like, montagey type scenes.
But when I first tried to end things with you,
and we had cream puffs.
[Jesse laughs]
And I just feel like that scene,
the arc of our characters did a lot of this.
And we were always trying to figure out like,
so is this a real breakup or is this a playful breakup?
We didn't really know how that scene was supposed to go.
And I feel like that one
we found something that we ended on
that we didn't start with.
And so I think that one was my favorite.
- The carnival stuff
was a lot of fun.
- [Elizabeth] And traumatizing.
- And traumatizing. [laughs]
But there is a complete take [laughs]
of us on the roller coaster,
and it was very touch and go as to whether or not Lizzie
was going to get on the roller coaster.
Which, - It was traumatizing.
- I understood because, yeah.
- I didn't realize how deep that fear was.
- Yeah, well, they said it was a kiddie, you know?
- And it wasn't. - Very easy.
And it wasn't at all.
- It was a terrifying rollercoaster
that also went backwards really fast.
- Yeah.
So that's kinda messed up that that
is one of my favorite scenes.
[Elizabeth and Jesse laughing]
But the-
- It was really funny to watch.
- It was very funny to watch.
- Yeah. [laughs]
- Best moment together outside of work.
Well, I think me, you, and Robby
had some food and drinks
at Joann's.
- Yeah, it was delicious. - In Austin.
And that was our, it felt like kind of our first night
where we had gotten through some intense stuff
in the beginning.
It was my first time hanging out with Robby,
and there was some tequila.
- It's a lot of tequila.
- And that was a great night. - Some tequila, sorry.
Some tequila.
Inappropriate amount of tequila.
- Irresponsible amount of tequila.
But, yeah, that was a nice night.
- That was a lot of fun. - Outside work.
Thanks for testing our friendship, Glamour.
- See you next time.
[dramatic music]
[paper crinkling]
- It's blank.
So, I'm gonna go.
