- Hi, I'm Maitreyi Ramakrishnan
- And I'm Jaren Lewison.
- And we are going to talk about that kiss.
You know the one. - Mm.
(upbeat music)
- Setting the scene. - Yeah.
- Devi's depressed.
Her dad's dead.
- I asked him to come and help you.
- Help me what?
- You have to go with your mom to spread your dad's ashes.
- Devi wants to now confront her grief
and with the help of Ben Gross,
they are going on the fastest car ride of her life.
(truck beeping)
- Holy shit we're going to die!
Um, how was it legal to drive 70 miles an hour
around a thousand other cars?
- Okay, just relax.
- I am relaxed.
- She goes to the beach, scatters the ashes.
And then it's living her best life
until she sees someone apparently actually drooling.
Go ahead.
I'll be right there.
(car door thumps)
- Hi.
Was I drooling?
Yes.
Sorry.
How did it go?
Did you make it down there in time?
- Yeah.
You stayed.
- Oh, oh yeah.
Yeah.
I just wanted to make sure...
You're okay.
Aww!
- That was it.
It's the "You're okay".
- Whoa.
- There it is.
- What a build.
(soft upbeat music)
- Uh-oh. - Oh!
- Ooh, top draw.
I feel like it felt pretty relaxed honestly.
Like it didn't feel like there was a lot of pressure on us.
I felt really comfortable.
I don't know.
- Yeah.
Oh no, it was like super...so bored.
I was like, "Let me get out of this car."
No, it was so chill.
(laughs)
No, I'm just kidding.
Don't go!
- All right, I'll see you guys.
I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
- We could feel it coming.
- Oh yeah. - And then you read the script
and we were just like, "Oh."
- Jaren, you could feel it coming from like...
- The unfuckable nerds line?
Sorry, was I allowed to say that?
- You shouldn't call us the UN.
It's racist and offensive and--
- What?
Oh, the United Nations?
No, we call you the UN because you're unfuckable nerds.
- It's a part of the show. - Okay, okay.
- We can say "unfuckable nerds".
- Well, you said it twice now.
- That's another bleep.
There was many takes.
- Well, we had a bunch of different setups.
- Yes. - Yeah.
- A lot of different angles.
Because then you had to get it
from Devi's perspective onto Ben
and then you had to get it from Ben's perspective onto Devi.
And then you need to get the one shot of them together.
Then pan down to Paxton calling her.
Oh, no.
(indistinct) smell.
And then the drone shot,
very enthusiastic about the drone shot.
- It was sick.
- Its the most basic thing. - You know its cool.
You liked it.
- A lot of my friends back in Canada
absolutely hate seeing me kiss.
(laughing)
Their favorite thing to watch actually
is moments before the kiss
where a Devi is running towards the beach, yelling...
Shut up.
Oh my God.
Yelling, "Did I miss it?"
And a lot of my friends like to, still now,
run like that and yell.
Mom!
Did I miss it?
Am I too late?
But yeah, my friends, my close homies,
are not a fan of the kiss.
- My sister covers her eyes every time she watches it.
- Really? - Yeah.
- The fans of the show, all over the world,
are very happy about it.
- I have seen so many fan cams, just that moment.
- Honestly, they make it really good though.
- Yeah, so good.
But it's just like different collages
of this same thing going out or like it starts
with the "okay". - Oh yeah.
- And its like-- - Boom!
- And then it merges into a bunch of cute moments
that I didn't realize from the season.
So I feel like the fans really enjoyed it.
And then it set up the two teams, team Pax and team Ben.
- Shout out to the fans and your fan cams.
- Yeah. - Holler.
- Those are sick.
- Talented as hell.
- For real. - Can I say "as hell"?
- Yeah, that's not a bleep.
- Talented as hell, that's not a bleep.
- Thanks for joining us to talk about that kiss.
Talk what?
- I don't...What's wrong with the thumbs up?
- Great!
- Stop it!
