- Hey Teeter!
You're with the herd tonight.
Colby, you stay with her too.
- Do you think Colby and Teeter,
Ceeter (dings)
or Tolby? (dings)
Ceeter? (dings)
Or Tolby? (dings) - Oh sorry, I thought there
was a question.
- Yeah sorry. (talking over each other)
(upbeat rock music)
- Uh oh. - Who enters?
(laughing) - Oh my goodness,
what's going on?
(grunts)
(laughing)
(groans)
- [Jen] Yeah it's good, so good.
- Every girl that I know in Hollywood read
for this role, every girl that I know.
And everyone wants to know your story.
'Cause you're the big winner.
- You mean how did I do it?
- (laughs) Yeah, how did you do it?
- I think I am Teeter.
Deep down.
I think so.
I think I'm a feral, (beeps) kicking, little weirdo.
- She's a hand.
- I really do, but how I did is they called me in
and I was super nervous.
I didn't think I was gonna get it at all
and I thought I tanked the audition.
You saw it, I did not apparently.
But I thought I tanked it so hard,
I kept having the casting associate read the scene again.
Just do it again, which is also a big audition no-no for any
actors who are watching. (laughing)
Don't ask them to read it again.
And then I was so mad that I had messed it up,
that I sort of checked out of my body and on the way out,
you know, they're like, (ominous music)
"Goodbye, thank you very much."
I somehow was back home (crow calls)
with my family and I said, "Goodbye, I love you too."
(all laugh)
I walked out and I called my manager.
I'm like, "I'm quitting."
I was like, "I told the casting associate I loved her."
I was like, "I tanked."
I was like, "I gotta become like a hooker
"or a writer after this, man. (laughing)
"No more acting."
- There's about four to six different personalities
living in there, accents.
You are a chameleon, you are brilliant actor.
I always get on you about your English.
- Well that's 'cause there's really only one accent for you,
and as I said, any English person who's in here,
and it's a bit harder with the gum, isn't it?
- I just love it.
- I know, but it makes you get
all jiggly inside, doesn't it?
- It does.
- I know. - Jeez.
- I feel real feelings
of love. - This is what we get
all the time, this is what makes Jen so amazing.
- That's so nice.
- It's what makes you guys love me
and what made my mom send me
to camp every summer. (laughs)
She was just like, "Get her the (beeps) out of the house."
You look like a plucked mother (chicken clucks) chicken.
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buckee!
(dramatic slam)
- I think initially, that all of your character
is identified as I read it through the dialogue
and specifically the way that the words are written,
and that you get how this person talks.
So then we're gonna try to read some
and see if we even know what the hell they say.
- I don't know, I always almost knew
what she was saying all the time.
Watch this prove to be wrong and I'm just full of (beeps),
but I really felt like I understood what she was saying.
- When you said it, I thought we did.
Reading it is different for us,
who don't live in the character.
For instance, just at first glance it looks
like it's written in German.
(all laugh) I will tell you.
- Right.
- (laughs) Wanna back rub?
Wanna give me one? - Is it R-E-W-B?
- E-W-B.
- B-E-K-K-R-E-W-B
- R-E-W-B, that's what I thought.
You wanna back rub?
- I don't, thanks.
- You wanna give me one?
Let's just take a moment
for Taylor. - That's creating
your character, no.
- Yeah, people, they were like,
"How did you come up with the way she spoke?"
And I was like, "I basically just read exactly..."
(laughs) - What he wrote.
- "What he wrote."
- What's your name?
- Teeter.
- Is it Teeter or Tater?
How do you say it?
- It's Tee-ter.
- What's that?
- One more time?
- Tee-ter.
- [Jen] Teeter.
- Your name Peter?
- [All] Teeter, Teeter, Teeter, Teeter, Teeter, Teeter.
- What's that?
- You gotta keep the tongue forward on the teeth.
- Teeter.
- That's gibberish.
- [Jen] What do you have?
- They're all deeply foul.
- Everything.
- Do I look like my (beeps) name is Peter,
you skunk haired mother (beeps)?
(laughs)
- Do I look like my name is Peter,
you skunk haired mother (horse snorts)
- She just called me a mother (laughs).
(laughing) - That's pretty good.
- Skunk haired?
- That's 'cause that's the color of his hair.
- Understood that didn't ya, ya bow legged bastard.
- I love that line.
- You understood that, didn't ya, you bow legged bastard.
(whooshes)
- Thanks for coming and just
being awesome. - Spending time with us.
- I missed you guys.
(upbeat rock music)
You know, you're smarter than you look.
Not sayin' much, but you are.
- Well you're as smart as you look.
And that's sayin' a heap.
(dramatic slam)
- What do you guys think about the progression
or relationship between Beth and Rip?
We've been waiting for it, it's been a long game.
- I stan Beth and Rip, #BEP, #RITH.
Those are primo hashtags.
(funky music)
(laughs)
They're my OTP, huge fan of Beth and Rip.
It's an amazing opportunity to see a softer side
of both of them, 'cause they're both hard (beeps)
in such a different way.
Like Rip will throw you off the tallest building
in Montana, like four stories.
(talking over each other) You might survive.
(laughs)
(grunts)
(thuds)
In the first season, the first time we see them
sort of as a couple is hard and is angry,
and it's clear that they are both (laughs) sort of,
they both bring so much anger to that equation.
- (pants) You ruin it every time.
- And then by the third season,
that relationship has progressed,
I think more than any other relationship on the show.
We're in real time, watching them connect in a deeper way
and watching them let their barriers down.
- Yeah.
- You can hold her damn hand, Rip.
- Thank you, Daddy.
- If you were to date from the outside, a person like Rip,
and what he does, there's no way for you
to ever be able to understand what he does.
- You wanna fight somebody, you come fight me.
I'll fight you all God damn day!
- And the same with Beth, because
of the extremes that she goes through.
- I ruin careers for a living.
- So there's always a part of them
that would always have to be cut off
from the person that they would be with.
Them together, they don't have to worry about that.
- We can do whatever we want.
- Baby, you've been doing whatever you want
your whole damn life.
- I think it's really beautiful.
I think the audience is gonna have this opportunity
to see this amazing side of Rip
and the cooking and the attentiveness.
He does have this capacity to love deeply.
- First we're gonna dance.
- Most shows would try to put that entire cycle
into one season very easily, and it's kind of cheap.
We've lengthened it through three
and it opens up so much more time
for all that complexity to come through.
And to take that much time is a risk,
you know? - Yeah.
- But when it works, it is everything.
It's truly the most interesting relationship,
I think, on the show.
- We're well past playing hard to get,
don't you think, Beth?
- You and me...
We're never past playing hard to get, baby.
(beeps)
- We'll take this outfit to town,
we're gonna go watch Jimmy rodeo, okay?
(dramatic slam)
- I think for the first time in his life,
Jimmy feels like a part of something.
He feels like a family.
(clapping and exclaiming)
The end of season two,
Jimmy's family really shows up for him.
How much does it cost to enter?
- Couple hundred.
But you win a few grand.
- I don't have a couple hundred to spare.
- I'll spot you.
- They help him sort of deal with his past life,
they help him sort of close that chapter.
- I'm gonna show you how to get rid of problems
so they don't become new problems, you hear me?
- In season three, Jimmy finally starts to feel at home
and finally starts to feel like a part of a community.
What's wrong?
- Not a thing.
- And then also finally starts to find some personal sense
of identity in rodeoing.
- No (beeps).
- Where did that come about?
Because it seemed like something that Jimmy
did not wanna get on a horse at all, season one.
Looked terrified every time he was on a horse.
- I don't know nothing about horses!
- Now you're getting a crash course, Jimmy.
- Should I pet him?
- It originally started, if I remember correctly,
because you wanted the money, you needed money.
- Yeah, it was born of necessity.
- So then, what was that change, where did that come from?
- [Jefferson] He needed to, to pay his debts.
And then it was the first time in his life
that anyone ever told him he was good at something (laughs)
or celebrated him, so I think he started
to feel really proud of that and
to sort of derive a sense of identity from that.
And then by the time we find him in season three,
he's continued on that path and he's sort
of coming into himself more and more.
Finally got enough to get my pro card, so.
Tonight's the first rodeo that counts toward my standings.
And then in season three, when he goes to the rodeo
and his whole family shows up, basically.
Everyone comes to watch him rodeo.
I think that's a really beautiful moment for Jimmy.
- Yeah, I'm sorry, you weren't there that day.
You had to stay with Teeter.
- We're gonna go get cleaned up, go into town.
You have a great night, buddy.
- I know it 'cause you just said everybody.
I just wanna clarify, it wasn't actually everybody.
- Okay, I was willing to let it go, 'cause I was like,
"Oh wow, no one's gonna say anything."
- I just think accuracy is important.
- I want both of you just to drop dead right
in front of me, right now, that would be a dream.
- The audience super cares about context.
- Words matter.
- True, words do matter.
- Sun was setting, Eden was riding around
in the thing with the flag and our boy, our little Jimmy.
- Woo! (cheering)
- Yeah, it was cool, sorry.
I just, I mean you were there in spirit.
- [Denim] And now you have this love interest.
(kisses)
- Good luck.
- Yeah, yeah, it's wild, it's like John Dutton came
to watch Jimmy rodeo and he forgets all about it
as soon as Mia shows up.
You ever have a girl look at you
and your whole world just stops?
- Every Saturday night, now come on, focus.
- Mia, in a lot of ways,
represents this entire other...
way of life.
This is something that's totally new to Jimmy
and is so exciting for Jimmy to see this whole other world
of possibility, it's like an incredible gift
to have Mia played by Eden Brolin,
because she's an incredibly gifted and talented
and generous actor, but she's also has such a strong sense
of personal identity outside of this show.
She's so fully herself.
- Can't believe I kissed you!
I'm not that forward.
- And that makes Mia so fully herself
and so fully independent of the ranch lifestyle
and of the Duttons.
And yeah, Jimmy sort of falls so head over heels for Mia
that he, then, of course is devastatingly injured,
(laughs) as a result of it.
(crowds cheers)
No, no, no, no, no!
His life is suddenly in real jeopardy
in a really unique way. - Yeah, 'cause if he can't
heal properly, then you have no use to be on the ranch,
and then there goes your family. (talking over each other)
- Dutton says that line exactly.
- You break an arm chasing buckles,
it's hard to...
It's hard to stay on any man's payroll.
- Play at your own risk. - No use.
- No use.
- So Jimmy immediately puts his family
and that whole lifestyle at risk for Mia.
- Ain't gonna say nothin'?
- Yeah, I didn't really plan this out past walking up here.
