-Now, here's how it works.
We're going to have a normal conversation with each other,
except every so often, we're going to hear this "ding" sound.
[ Ding ] And when we hear that,
we'll be given an emotion or situation
that we have to act out as we keep talking.
-Okay. -Sound good?
-Yeah. -Alright, here we go.
Alright. It's the first week of October.
Do you already have Halloween plans?
[ Ding ]
-Why are you asking?
-Why -- Why are you asking?
-I'm ask-- You came --
Why would you do that?
-It's Halloween. So you dress up, right?
Is that what you do?
Do you get candy? -Do you dress up?
-Do you get can--
You get candy, right?
-Ca-- Is that like a code word for something else?
[ Laughter ]
-Do you give candy, or do you get candy?
-I --
I take it. -Yeah.
[ Ding ] Yeah.
You do? You take it?
[ Laughter ]
-I can't believe it!
-I know, there's all sorts of candies!
You get uh, uh, chocolate bars?
-Chocolate bars? I love chocolate bars!
-I love it, too! -What kind do you love?
-I love -- I love Hershey bars!
-Oh, my goodness! That's one of my favorites!
-Oh, my God! Are you serious?
-Oh, my goodness! You say "serious"!
-Oh, my gosh! I said the word "serious"!
-Oh, my God! You said "serious"! [ Ding ]
-I've never said that before!
But I'm good at being serious.
[ Laughter ]
And I'm focused,
and I'm a team player.
-Yeah, so am I.
I think I'm very eligible for Halloween.
[ Laughter ] And --
-I can wear all sorts of costumes if you --
or none -- none if you don't want me to wear a costume.
I'm flexible --
[ Ding ] Either way and --
[ Shakily ] And if I --
If I dress up --
If I dress up -- -Go ahead.
-If I dress up as SpongeBob -- -Oh, my God.
[ Laughter ] SpongeBob?
-Yeah, if I dress up --
-You know, I just -- I just need a second.
Because I can't believe it, that I'm here with you.
And I just -- Oh, my God! Don't touch me right now!
[ Laughter ] [ Ding ]
-Uh, you don't -- You don't want me to touch you?
[ Laughter ]
-I just feel like maybe it wouldn't be right.
-Well, I thought, like, maybe you were, like, getting,
you know, too emotional about the holiday.
So maybe? -Yeah --
-I thought maybe I could comfort you.
-That's possible.
But, you know, I feel like sometimes you should ask, maybe?
Before -- [ Ding ]
-Do I have to? Because when --
In this society, 2019...
[ Laughter ]
...you know, men, women, are they the same?
Do they get paid the same? No. That's not fair.
How about this? Switch roles.
How about walk a mile in my shoes, maybe for a weekend?
No, literally, get in my shoes.
-Because there are about 75,000 people
that we know of on this block alone who do not have shoes.
[ Laughter ] And --
[ Ding ]
-Well, la-di-da.
[ Laughter ]
[ Ding, ding, ding ]
That's it right there. We did it.
That was fun.
That was an emotional interview with Lupita Nyong'o.
