This is kind of near the beginning of the film.
Alex's character has just done a triumphant dance recital.
Yeah.
My character has,
with the help, kind of reluctant help of this guy,
we throw a party, kind of towards the beginning
where things are feeling kind of nice-
- Yeah. - and everything's kind of enjoyable-
We're looking forward.
- We're excited about - Yeah.
your show coming up.
- Everyone's hopeful. - It's predating...
It's like the calm before the storm.
Yeah.

So, Michael was the key.

When Jonathan's like,
"I thought I would have a dog, a kid, a wife,"
what was funny was that it was like,
obviously kind of low key in his head where he was
like, "I thought I'd have all of this."
And Susan's like, "Ah-ha, you thought!"
"I'm ready."
- Yeah. - "Let's do it."
She's here for it.
I think that really strikes her because she's like,
"Yeah, well, me too,
but I never planned for a lot of things to happen."
But one thing that she always did plan for
was to be with Jonathan.

'Cause we were having a party-
- Yes. - so I was like,
"I would love to have like a prop glass of wine."
And I found a lollipop on set because everyone was clapping.
And I was like, "I gotta be different."
So I like, found this lollipop
and I was sitting next to a pole
and I was banging the lollipop on the pole.
And then eventually I would get tired of that
and then I would start hitting my glass
and I broke three glasses.
- Three glasses? - Three glasses.
Very excited.
We were having a good time.
- It was a party, - It was a good time.
- It's not a party- - So fun.
unless a glass breaks.
And just to put it in context of that moment,
I think it was around October of last year
- we filmed that scene- - Yeah.
and I had never been so close to that many people
- in several months, - Yeah.
- let alone people- - Oh my gosh.
- from the theater community. - Yeah, totally.
- So we're up all close, - Yes.
We're sweating, we're dancing.

Wait, so when you dove into Josh's arms,
was that choreographed or did you guys come up with that?
Because that's iconic.
Somehow, you found yourself
up on the other side of the room, up like that.
And it felt like a,
I forget what the lyric is,
but I just came like right underneath you,
and I think you just went?
There was one which was critical,
- Yeah. - Which they use,
which is the one they use in the cut.
