Michelle Monaghan Just Wants Justice for Jaclyn
And I’m like, fuck this. We got to get ourselves cleaned up. We got to get our shit together. We all hightail it to the bathroom at the club. And there’s this whole scene, this montage where we’re all fixing each other. It’s a real mission that we are on. We’re like, we’re going to go show them. So then when you see us at the club, I clock them and then I’m like, yeah, look at me now. So actually, it’s not about the guys.
Well, it’s always about wanting to look good for other women, right? So you don’t judge Jaclyn’s actions?
I don’t judge her. It is hard. But listen, I love what everyone is doing. I love how she’s a mirror to everyone else. Some people are like, they love her for just being her. And then others are just like, yeah, she wouldn’t be my friend. That’s not the gal that I want.
I think the whole time she was like, Laurie, hook up with him. You should have hooked up. You should have hooked up with two of them, or at least one of them. There’s another scene that was cut for time where she calls Harrison again. He doesn’t pick up, and then it’s like, alright, I guess he’s just gone AWOL completely. I guess I’ll call Valentin. He’s the butler, right? It’s not like Laurie’s husband. It’s not like they had a relationship at all.
Yes, the mysterious Harrison. What’s your take on that relationship?
Mike [White, the show’s creator and writer] and I were always sort of wondering, does she have a monogamous relationship? Maybe they don’t have a monogamous relationship. And Mike’s like, I think that it’s a little fluid and that kind of tracks for me.
I also personally loved the Trump conversation in episode three. It felt so real, especially in 2025.
The Trump scene is so good and we knew that. That’s the genius of Mike, right? At that point in time, nobody knew that Donald Trump would be running for reelection, let alone elected. And so after that was all sort of said and done and we were like, oh my gosh, this is going to hit different.
Oh yeah, it hit real different.
It hit real different. These are conversations that are happening all over the country and the discovery of friends, differing political views and things like that. I think that’s what also makes the show so relatable, when you get yourself into that kind of conversation or you’re learning something new about a friend, you don’t quite know what to say. So you’re sort of reacting with a pregnant pause or you’re making eyes or a kicundern the table. Moving on, you’re trying to gracefully figure your way through the situation, but you know that you’re going to have that text exchange or that phone call be like, oh my God, what was she talking about? I had no idea.
