- Oh my God, Cookie.
- Oh no, Cookie,
what have you done? - What?
- I'm not gonna like this. - What?
- "Jesse."
- What?
- "You appeared in the music video
for Rihanna's, "Russian Roulette"
- Yes. - "You might not know this
but that is my go-to karaoke song."
"Now that you know mine, what is your go-to karaoke song?"
You were in a music video with Rihanna?
- Yeah.
- Why haven't you told me that?
- We haven't turned that corner yet.
- We did a full movie together.
- I have only done karaoke once ever in my life.
I have no talent for it.
But I had had a few malts.
I sang like, "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You," Led Zeppelin
and something else
that was more, like, more rapping.
Didn't require the pipes.
- Mine is 3LW's

Something like that.

- Um.
Maybe a little squint. - Oh.
- "Both of your characters," Cookie asks,
"in Your Place Or Mine live in New York City."
"Which is better, New York pizza, New York bagels?"
- That's what we call a (beep) up question.
I'm gonna go with bagels.
- Uh huh, they're so much easier to mess up.
Your odds are much greater of it being a miss, that is true.
- And a good freaking- - That is true.
- Everything bagel with some whitefish.
- Just had two bagels this morning. I regret-
- What kind?
- Everything, double toasted, extra cream cheese.
- Do you remember when Dunkin' Donuts came out
with chive cream cheese?
- Yes. - It was a revelation.
- Also, New England, Providence, Dunkin' Donuts
runs the world.
- Did you guys grow up
in the same area in Providence?
- In the big town, small city of Providence.
There are a handful of competitive private schools and
- Yes. - ours was four blocks away.
- Rivals.
We learned this the first day on set that we met each other.
And it's just wild, because, to meet somebody else
from Rhode Island, who also went to a prep school,
who's also not white,
- Yeah. - Like,
is wild.
- There's seven of us.
Question for Zoe.
"During a internship... you once were a tour manager
for an ice cream truck
emceed by a squirrel cub.
What's cuter, squirrels or bunnies?"
- So, while I have a history with squirrels,
I'm gonna actually say I think bunnies are cuter.
I was a tour manager for a traveling art show
called Karaoke Ice.
And it would drive into happenings
- Uh huh? - in Los Angeles.
The car would pull up to,
like, the Hollywood Bowl
and then the squirrel cub would open the back doors
and lure people into the back.
- Into the van? Wait a second-
Experience. - Well, not kidnapping.
Come, hop into the car. - Sure.
- Sing a little ditty, we took, like, songs
that were translated into Tinkle Pop,
which is ice cream truck vernacular.
So you would get in and be like,
"I'm gonna sing Missy Elliott's "Work It" or whatever."
And it'd be like
♪ Do do do do do do do do ♪
- You would get an ice pop and be on your way.
And the reason why I got into acting was 'cause I was like
"I wanna be the squirrel cub. And now we're here, Cookie.
- "Zoe,
your character in "Your Place Or Mine"
is my personal style icon.
Can you gimme some fashion advice?"
- Thank you, Cookie.
I think be comfortable.
Think if you just find a way to have some fun
in whatever way that means to you,
that would be my advice.
- Solid. - What about you?
- I like that, be true to yourself but also
take a little bit of a risk.
And sometimes I even get an item that I know
that I'm not ready for yet.
But I will be- - But one day.
- But one day I will be.
- Yeah.
Or when you're in specific vacation places
and because the clothing is so weird
you buy something 'cause you're like, "This isn't weird."
But then you bring that home- - Yes, out of context.
- And you're like, "This is crazy."
I can only wear this in-
- Without a gallon margarita in my hand.
- Yeah. - This doesn't
make as much sense. - Totally.
- It's way too many ducks printed on this shirt.
- "Zoe,
you told "InStyle" magazine last year
that you used to be mistaken for Mandy Moore."
True. - Okay.
- "In 2001, Mandy released a song called "Crush."
Who did you have a crush on in 2001?"
2001 I was a freshman at Wheeler School
and I had a crush on Drew Appleton, who recently commented
on an Instagram post.
Who was your crush in 2001?
- I'm trying to place that- I was in college.
J. Lo probably.
- Oh, "On The 6?"
- On anything.
On a poster. - Still applies.
"Jesse, you once told "The Bare" magazine
that your bare essentials include a pair of sweatpants
with a back pocket.
What is a skill that you think is important to have
in your figurative back pocket?"
- Etiquette.
Knowing how to talk to people.
A curiosity.
Like the willingness to be, like, asked questions.
- Yes.
- And not pretend you know things.
- That's a really thoughtful answer.
- Accidentally.
Well, I think that's it for the questions.
Thank you for your service, Cookie.
We appreciate it.
- And please be sure to watch "Your Place Or Mine"
February 10th on Netflix.
