Nice to meet you.
Where did you buy your dimples?
Dig, you, where did you get your your outfit?
You know, your did.
He takes it.
It was $5.99.
You can have one too.
I just make it myself.
$599 something like that.
So congrats on the new series.
I'm going to quote you, okay?
Somebody asked you about the show, and we're allowed to swear young Hollywood.
So I'm going to say, you said this show was like Secret Agent Disneyland for men.
Are you kidding me?
I love that.
Is this like I know you grew up watching like James Bond.
Is this like your dream role?
It kind of is.
I have three brothers and you know, my three brothers and my father we just grew up watching James Bond our our whole lives and always wanting to be a secret agent.
Then we'd go out and and hurt each other as brothers with experimental gadgets that we would make.
You've changed your hair color.
Oh, that photo emailed your boyfriend in college.
What's that supposed to mean?
1060 on your SATs?
Come on.
I was a bad test taker.
Youngest woman ever appointed to presidential detail.
Now what?
Following around a charming devil with a microchip in his brain.
Almost every word of that was accurate.
Almost.
Which word I get wrong?
Charming.
You grew up doing martial arts, so do you get to use any of that?
I get to use quite a bit of that.
Well, can you teach me about self-defense?
People never expect the headbutt.
Take them out right away.
I won't ask you to demonstrate because one of us might go down and everybody will be very mad at me if I took you down.
You are you got all the weapons you need right there.
So I get to use all the skills that I've been developing there and sent us through SWAT school.
Getting to use that kind of tactical training as well.
It's a lot of fun.
I mean, it's got a big scale.
We're not in one city.
We're worldwide.
We're dealing with worldwide problems.
Um and I love that.
I love it's a thinking man's hero.
It's a thinking man's hero.
Because I saw in the trailer, I know you were known on Lost for always nicknaming people.
And in the trailer, there's you call somebody Padre.
I think he's interrogating you.
You're interrogating him.
Can you explain why you are trespassing on government property?
That woman who brought you coffee.
She's afraid of you.
Why is that, Padre?
I haven't told you our names.
Are you bringing any of that?
Are you are you going to continue on and continue on with the nicknaming?
I don't know.
Uh it's a different character, different feel, but I do love the lightness and the tone of that.
I hope to keep some playfulness in.
As far as nicknames, I don't think it's going to be nicknaming, but it will be along that light banter.
Will you have like a chip implanted in your brain that gives you an an extreme amount of intelligence?
Would you want to have that in real life?
And if you did, who would you scope out and find out stuff about that you didn't previously know?
I think I I think I might spy my little brother because we have some like ongoing arguments that I I want to know the answer to.
Lies that he's told, I need to dig them up.
Probably what goes on in the Oval Office.
Anything in particular?
Cyber defense.
Why not?
Like the show, why not?
And you never answered the question.
Who would you spy on?
PBR Brewery and see how they make such a great beer.
No.
Perfect answer.
Thank you guys so much.
