Sally: Hi. Harriett: Hiii!
S: I don't know how to start interviews.
H: Don't know how to do interviews, so...
S: Awesome, heh
H: I'm gonna say Christmas.
Cos I like the New Zealand Christmas because it's like summery and I dunno
for my family it's not very religious so it's just a time where people get together and eat lots of food
I like that it's not a selfish holiday.
Birthdays are like, "It's my day" but Christmas is like... everyone has fun!
H: That's tricky!
I actually quite like, from the same episode,
I quite like 'eat your heart in the marketplace' cos it is from it and it's the same
I dunno, I like the fact that it's sortof a direct translation.
I like those ones.
Woah! It still makes sense and it's still relevant
and the character still feels this way 400 years later
Yes.
Yes, it's like, I was 'Yes'-ing in my head before
you'd finished saying it.
Of course!
I mean, I can't sing or dance but that doesn't matter cos
I'm the one doing the costumes and wrangling the cats
so, you know, just hope that Pearl's onboard
and Alex
I'm confused because this is suddenly Real Life
not characters - I would do it.
Especially getting paid. I'd do it for free!
Pay me in... Cat litter.
*Sally and Claris laugh*
H: I, in my head, am I allowed to talk? S: Yeah!
H: I feel like I'm not allowed to - S: Totally! C: Cos it's your -
C: it's your opinion. It's your Q&A. H: Yeah, true.
H: I feel. Like Beatrice and Ben will stay together.
but I don't see them getting married.
I think that they will have two children.
They'll probably have at least A child by the end of their twenties
and I think that Beatrice will be the working mum
and Ben will be stay at home dad.
That's just how I see it.
And... I dunno what she'll be doing
Probably something science invetigatory
I say those words because I don't know what I'm talking about
I...
Flail my arms a lot and do creative stuff
I don't know science.
but I think she will be doing something
in terms of research and trying to find something out
Yeah. I feel like she'd be good at that.
H: Ooh! One of those French -
Palmier!
It's palmier. It's in a heart shape.
and there are heaps of thin bits of pastry
and it's like glazed
Mmmm!
Yum. You should find a picture
and superimpose it just about here
I'll hold my hands up
Is this good? S: Yup.
H: I'm a palmier.
You have to now, otherwise I'll look dumb.
Hufflepuff.
H: Like, I've just started flatting and
I've found it's really comorting to be in the lounge
and everyone's in the lounge together
and we're all playing a board game
or all doing our homework
but you can still talk to people across the room
It's like there are people there but there's not an
expectation to talk.
I like those kinds of situations.
H: Oh, well, I mean the go to is the double chin
but also there's the frown-smile
which is where you frown with your eyes
but smile with your mouth
It's quite disconcerting to look at.
I'd say that's probably my go-to.
Also if you flare your nostrils in it, like -
It's great.
You can just sneak into the back of photos.
So many great times.
H: Actually, lovely Sally here sent me a message
and said, "We're running auditions and you should try out"
but she also posted it on a group page
for some actors, so I'd seen it there.
I hadn't really read it though, and you like pushed me
and I was like, "Actually this looks really cool!"
I was gunning for Hero.
When I was reading them, and then I rang up Felix
and I was just sort of like...
"I just sorta feel like I like Beatrice more.
But I feel like I might have more chance of getting Hero."
and he was like,
"Well why? If you went for Hero and got it,
you'd be really angry that you didn't try out for Beatrice."
So I just did Bea.
S: Which was surprising to us.
and Good. Because we had you in mind for Hero.
H: Yeah, yay! Oh, that's a weird thought.
S: Like zombies, or Harry Potter or fantasy...
H: Oh my god, Harry Potter.
I ship everything!
[whispers] That's good.
Can we make that?
*Sally laughs*
H: Oh god! I listened to it yesterday!
Bad Day - Darwin Deez
H: Just, ever?
S: Yeah.
H: Good lord.
I'm so aware this has to be a quick fire and I can't think.
H: Leslie Knope! S: Oh, don't worry about the time.
H: Oh! Sorry!
Sorry. How did that not? *Sally giggling*
H: Emerge out of my head faster? Leslie Knope.
100%. Just, I can't.
*Harriett, Sally, and Claris laugh-crying together in a moment of true friendship bonding and joy*
H: I just love that show.
H: When I'm almost at the end of a shift at work
I just sortof go like...
Like when I'm walking home.
but then the customers see me.
Just anything with the finger pointing
if you're doing a little, subtle happy dance
Little finger points are good.
I want some music.
*Claris starts singing a #sickbeat*
*All 3 laugh*
*Claris switches to a version of 'Uptown Funk'*
H: I feel like a flamingo.
H: I'm a little bit puffed from that. *Claris and Sally laugh*
Thank you very much for asking me so many questions!
Very hard hitting. Nice work. People.
Just thank you for watching the show
and being amazing
and lil - lil community on Tumblr!
I didn't have Tumblr before NMTD
so it's really weird that the first fandom
that I'm part of is
something that I'm in as well
But it's awesome and everyone's so positive
and so loving and yeah! Thank you for watching!
