A decade ago,Party Downpremiered quietly on a Starz online grid that was just getting into original programming.

A year later, it went off the air, also quietly.

Are we having fun yet!?!?

If not, were about to.

Ryan Hansen:[makes air horn sound]

Adam Scott:Theres a bag of hair behind Lizzy.

Im going to throw it out there.

Scott:Is it really?

Scott:Oh, wow.

Mullally:I bought it on Hollywood Boulevard 39.99.

Lizzy Caplan:You ruined that.

Scott:Totally ruined that.

Mullally:Thats true.

So before that, then.Mullally:You know what actually at my birthday party last year.

Almost everybody except Ryan who is very, very elusive was at that.

Hansen:I have a lot of children, so.

Rob Thomas:And Jane too.

I dont think Jane.

Jane Lynch:I dont think I was invited.

Mullally:Im so sorry.

Marino:Oh, here we go.

Mullally:Id like to get to know you well enough to invite you to my birthday party.

Lynch:Well see what happens.

Im in the doghouse now.

Do you have text chains?

Are you guys constantly …Caplan:We madeParty Downbefore there were cellular phones.

Lynch:Thats true.

Caplan:So we dont know how to, yeah.

Mullally:No, we were on clamshell flip phones.

Marino:When were done here, were going to start a text chain.

Have any of you guys watched the show recently?Caplan:Not in forever.

Scott:I have not.

Mullally:But I know people who have.

Have they told you what it was like?Caplan:They loved it.

Mullally:They loved it, yeah.

The Beginnings

Good.

So from what I understand, the story started with you watching the BritishOffice?Thomas:Right.

Like, I had.

I didnt get intoAb Fabor a few others.

Lynch:Shame on you.

Thomas:I know, I know.

Come watch it with me.

Enbom:I got better.

How did you then get to the idea ofParty Down?

Why people who have chased dreams for far too long?

What is the next step?Thomas:I hosted a lot of parties.

Was anyone here a caterer?Caplan:Yup.

Caplan:It sucks.

Thomas:You know, I played in a band in Texas before I did this.

(audience hoots)

Caplan:Bands!

Marino:Is that for that for his band or for Texas?

Scott:Thats for bands.

Thomas:Thats definitely not for my band.

Scott:Bunch of band fans here.

You guys like bands?

Mullally:Yeah, yeah.

Mullally:Bands, man.

And that idea of how long do you chase a dream was interesting to us.

So the path from that to Starz is a particularly long and windy one.

And then I think a week or two later, Paul was like Oh, I cant do it.

So we felt like the writing was on the wall fairly quickly.

We wrote the originalParty Downscript for Fox, for FX.

This is who we could afford.

Martin Starr:They couldnt actually afford me.

I came on later.

Caplan:Yeah, I also was too expensive to be a part of that backyard pilot.

Hansen:I think I actually paid to be a part of it.

Thank you guys for letting me pay.

Did something like that happen or am I making that up?

So I think part of the thing that we wanted to do was just say No, its likethis.

And you know, that led us almost nowhere.

Thomas:Yeah, we went around town.

We thought it was funny and good.

The people at Comedy Central did not.

Then we went to Showtime.

Showtime watched it and they guffawed the whole time, like theres no way they werent buying it.

Starz at the time had never done their own television show.

It was an agent of mine who said, Lets send it to Starz.

They want to start doing indie comedy sort of stuff, and luckily they said yeah.

So it really was our last stop.

But they didnt have a comedy on the air yet.

Marino:But wasnt it about a year after you actually shot it?

Because I remember you shot it, went around with it, nothing happened.

Then you put a sizzle reel together.

Then I never heard anything.

It was a while, right?

Before it actually got picked up?

Thomas:Yeah, that sounds right.

Marino:I appreciate you really sticking with it.

Like once we had to actually do the show, we could actually churn it out, you know?

Because what did we have?

We had like two months to write the season when they actually asked.

The Cast

The show is perfectly cast.

Ill go in order in the same order that I believe it was cast.

So Henry Pollard, who is played by Adam Scott.

[cheering]

Yes, cheer each time.Marino:[cheers]

Why was Adam right for it?

What did you see in …Scott:[to Marino] Keep going.

No keep, keep going.

Marino:[cheers] Drool.

Scott:[to Fox] Sorry.

What made you into it?Thomas:Do I have part A for this?

Part A is for the creators and part B will be for the actors.

Thomas:John, Dan, feel free to jump in here.

That said Adam Scott to us.

Marino:Oh, I knew this.

Caplan:Can you even imagine how amazing it would have been?

Marino:This is not news to me.

Scott:Paul Rudd as Henry.

Lynch:We had Steve Carrell??

Caplan:Paul Rudd.

Mullaly:How much better.

Thomas:I wanna see that show!

Marino:Murderers Row.

Scott:Anyway, so

Mullally:Yeah.

This Q&A would be at the Dolby.

So it was super fun, and we were all friends anyway, so it was great.

I wasnt really thinking this would ever continue.

So we just had fun doing it.

So post-Carell, one-stop shopping right there.

Marino:Me now?

So we were working onVeronica Mars,and you were talking about the script.

This is how I remember it.

And I said, Ooo, can I read it?

And then I never heard anything back.

Scott:Yeah, at the thing.

Marino:At the thing, and we talked about it and then I got to do it.

And Ron in the original one had a little mustache.

Scott:And black ties.

Marino:Did we have black ties?

We didnt have pink ties?

Scott:We had black ties.

Why the switch to pink ties?Etheridge:Costume designer, right?

Endom:Actually, yeah.

What I said earlier?

They didnt really varnish the note.

They just gave us that note.

And so we kept them.

[Crowd Cheers]

Thomas:We did not get a lot of notes from Starz.

We were literally the first show they had done in house.

The thing that they mostly wanted to ensure was a certain number of naked breasts.

Like that,thatwas their one requirement.

Marino:Hopefully an even number.

Mullally:Save it for the reboot.

They did not want sad nudity.

Which, they were right to give that note.

Marino:That was probably a producers note.

Youre on set and youre like, You never pick your breast.

Youd think Id remember.

Like that, we were like,Holy shit.Remember Stormy Daniels?

Mullally:In which episode?

Thomas:In the porn-awards episode.

Marino:Shes the one who fellates me.

You were in New York.

Marino:No, theres more to it than that!

I got invited to go hang, go watch a rehearsal ofSNL.

Scott:Okay, you got invited toSNL.

And I didnt know if she remembered the thing.

But thenIremembered cause we were [part of] the text chain that was going on.

And so I was like, Oh my God, hey.

What have you been up to?

And she looks at me and shes like [shrugs].

And Im like, Oh yeah, right.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes.

Scott:Its so funny.

I would not have remembered that Stormy Daniels was on the show.

Who was it that …

Enbom:Martin.

Scott:It was Martin who was like Hey, she was on the show?

Why, Jane?Lynch:What?

Do you guys remember I did a guest star onVeronica Mars?

Thomas:Oh yes.

Lynch:A two-episode guest star.

Mullally:Quit bragging.

We all dressed, boys and girls alike, in your bedroom, all at the same time.

It was so summer stock.

Mullally:Thats illegal.

Lynch:It was really fun.

We didnt wear the bow ties.

The girls wore the little, like, the girls in the navy.

Scott:Wait, what?

I dont remember that.

Lynch:It was like the little grade-school ties the girls wore.

That cross-over like that, that the navy ladies wear.

Lynch:Its usually the kiss of death.

Kyle Bradway.Marino:[cheers]

Starr:Relax.

Yeah.Hansen:Also onVeronica Mars.

We were in Rome.

And I emailed right away.

I didnt even read it.

Im like, Ill do it.

And I feel like it was the part I was born to play, Kyle Bradway.

Couldnt pass that up once I finally read it when I got there on set.

Kyle Bradway: Do you guys remember where that came from?

Marino:Im going to guess John.

John is the master of names.

It would entertain me just to read down the names of the cater waiters at Valhalla Catering.

Like the rival catering, and they were like Doon.

Caplan:Hale, right?

Those were some great names.

Scott:They were all so gorgeous.

Caplan:Yeah, they really were.Roman DeBeers.Starr:Alright, alright.

So as you mentioned, he was not in the pilot you shot.

Thomas:That other guy has worked many, many times for us.

Scott:Hes terrific.

Thomas:Hes a fantastic …

Starr:But not on this.

Thomas:Well, for one thing, I loveFreaks and Geeksalmost like no other show.

Starr:Oh right.

Thomas:And so I was already a Martin and Lizzy fan when these roles came open.

We were all fans, and no one up here had to read for their part.

They were all people we were fans of.

Theyre real detectives, where I used to be represented.

Lynch:I love their relationship, too.

Hansen:Like really hurt me every day.

Lynch:Yeah, and hed be punching your shoulder.

Did you guys find that rhythm naturally?

When you met, you immediately were hitting each other?Hansen:Martin found that very naturally.

Starr:Some people just deserve it.

There was a very unselfish, comedic tendency throughout.

Lynch:And we did shoot it in a bubble.

It was truly a blessed time.

It was truly the most fun Ive ever had doing a job.

And we all started smoking together.

We didnt know how many people were going to end up seeing this.

So we were kind of just making it for ourselves.

Caplan:It turns out we really were making it just for ourselves.

Scott:Yeah, it really did, for a number of years.

Theyll give us breasts every week.

Marino:They wont be sad breasts.

Thomas:They were not.

As we mentioned, Lizzy was added after.

And I believe Adam, you helped recruit her?.Scott:Yeah.

I think we werent going to be able to get Lizzy but we … No, seriously.

Is that what happened?

Caplan:That is very true.

Im very proud of that.

Thomas:And so yeah, it did feel like a long shot.

Caplan:Yeah, but I dont …

I remember hearing about it.

Scott:Yeah, it was on a Friday and we started shooting Monday.

Caplan:Yeah, and you called me for your big pitch.

Scott:Just like …

Caplan:This guy.

Scott:Well, I had to try and play it cool.

And I think I …

Marino:Hey, Adam Scott here.

How ya doin Lizzy?

Uh …

Caplan:Yeah.

Scott:I thought it went great.

But it kind of didnt.

Caplan:It was …

There were many pauses.Longpauses.

I mean, I think I [thought] it was like a holiday job, you know?

It was around the end of the year.

Now I really feel bad.

Lynch:Next one, right, hon?

Mullally:Next one, yeah.

I remember how much I got paid.

Lynch:Well thats how much we got paid too, honey.

It was favored nations, I think.

Caplan:No, was it?

Lynch:I think we all got the same.

Scott:We all got nothing.

Marino:We all got paid shit.

Lynch:Almost, almost nothing.

Caplan:On the count of three, say how much you got paid per episode.

Marino:I dont remember, I just know it was low.

Caplan:Youd remember.

Scott:How much did you get paid?

Caplan:[whispers in Scotts ear]

Scott:Oh yeah, I got more than that.

Scott:Thats crazy.

Hansen:Jane took all the money.

Lynch:I took all the money.

We just figured it out.

Caplan:Its nuts.

Scott:Wow, I cant believe you did it.

Caplan:I know.

Scott:And the phone call.

The phone call did it.

Caplan:Of course the phone call really pushed it over the finish line.

Mullally:And then it was really unusual to do only ten episodes.

Caplan:I think I saw the backyard pilot and there was just enough …

It was just a cooler time for comedy.

Caplan:Yeah, since we were seven, me and Martin had known each other.

Starr:Not to brag.

Caplan:Thats right.

But it ended up being like …

I had no idea it would end up being, like, just how special it was.

Starr:Our relationship?

I knew when I first saw Martin, age seven, he was already an actor.

He appeared in the movieHerowith Dustin Hoffman.

He played a boy in a full body cast.

I said As God as my witness, I will work with that boy.

And here we are today.

Caplan:Did you get a phone call?

Marino:Hey Megan, its Adam Scott.

It was huge news that she was a fan of the show.

It may have been the first person that we knew had ever watched the show.

Thomas:So we were like How about ten guest-star appearances?

That was very fortunate for us.

Mullally:Yeah, I was so excited when I heard.

I think I got $9,000 an episode.

It might have been $7,000.

Get more than that onWill & Grace.

Scott:Is that within the ballpark of what you get onWill & Grace?

Mullally:Its very close, yeah.

Scott:In Glendale.

Mullally:Yeah, in Glendale, yeah.

Why was it in Glendale?

Yeah, so I went the first day and it was really fun.

You dont have to come in today.

Well work around it.

And then I went in the next day and theyre like, Youre back!

There was a story you were in a car accident and you couldnt show anymore.

Thats so sad, you guys.

Its really sad that everybody was convinced that I was trying to find a way out.

Caplan:Escapade, yeah.

Caplan: Booksmart,and lots of other stuff.

Scott:Her name was Escapade?

Etheridge:Another great John name right there.

Scott:Escalade.Caplan:Escalade.Etheridge:No, Escapade.

Scott:AndUnbelievableis the show, right, is the other?

Why did you pick this?Lynch:Oooh, Ive been waiting for it to go.

Well, getting high with Adam in the bathroom was so much fun.

We were at that, what is it, the Salvation Army thing?

Marino:The Lodge?

Lynch:The VFW.

Marino:The American Legion.

Lynch:Right, exactly.

And were looking at it and Adam says, I dont know what Im lookin at here.

He said, He lost his foot.

He smoked pot and now hes footless.

That made me laugh so hard.

He was so earnest and sincere about it.

I took it in the kitchen and blurred the foot off.

You were writing it, you were writing it, and that was it basically.

It was so exciting to shoot this scene because it went on for eight minutes.

That scene right there was the show.

This is so fun.

Caplan:I remember this scene.

I think the rest of us were, like, nearby or behind the monitor.

I remember it was this scene it was likeOh shit, this is actually really special.

It better be good, guys.

Caplan:It was such a powerful moment for us as a team.

Marino:When you get a chance, go back and watch the season.

Lynch:You know what else I loved about doing this is that we had two directors.

Several voices singing in harmony.

Isnt that beautiful, what I just said?

Scott:Yes it is.

Ken Marinos Favorite Episode: Sin Say Shun Awards After Party

The next is Kens pick.

I was picking the Martin scene.

Yeah, I get it.

Enbom:Something about dragons.

Starr:Fantasy is bullshit.

Marino:Or the opposite.

Starr:Get it right.

It is just the most beautiful scene, and its so sad, and its performed so well.

I love that scene.

Its so beautifully written.

I just love it.

Do you remember shooting that scene?

Starr:To get to play with her.

I dont get it.

So anyway …

Caplan:Thats your friends wife.

We played around a lot together.

Whats the big deal?

Scott:Hey, hey, hey.

Caplan:Woah, woah, woah.

Scott:Woah, woah.

Starr:Im saying we playeda lottogether.

Marino:Woah woah woah woah woah!

Hansen:I think Joes … here?

Mullally:Youre saying youre playing with each other a lot.

Starr:We playedtogether.

Mullally:With each other.

Starr:With each other, we played.

Marino:[points to clock] Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.

How long can this bit go?

And I would, I would go out.

I would go out with these clowns.

We had so much fun.

Where did the idea of Ron having a big dick come from?Enbom:I dont remember.

Where did that come from?

Lynch:It just makes sense.

Scott:Just a giant hog.

Enbom:Just so you know, thats the medium one that they brought, of the props.

Caplan:Thats crazy.

Enbom:I think she was in an accident.

Thomas:An accident, yes.

Enbom:In which an ambulance arrived and the whole deal.

And in her open trunk while getting arrested.

Or not getting arrested she wasthenarrested.

It was a tragic story.

Starr:Was she impaled by the trophies?

How did the … Give us a play-by-play of the accident?

Caplan:Stop saying play Martin, you did it again.

Starr:I like to play with people, jeez.

Marino:Hey, hey.

Adam, this was your choice.Marino:Look at your hair.

Mullally:Its all I can think about.

Starr:You look like a hedgehog.

Marino:He does look like a hedgehog.

Scott:It looks like a hat.

It was coming together.

Starr:No one jumps on him for that, but I say play.

Hansen:Adam, dont say congeal, okay?

Scott:Our play was starting to congeal.

And its a really sweet [episode].

It just felt right.

We all really felt that way.

And then we were on the Queen Mary shooting it the whole time.

It was so fun.

I remember shooting on the Queen Mary.

So this was particularly fun for whatever reason.

Marino:This was a fun one too for your character because there was a little hope.

I think that that was also fun to watch your character go through that.

Scott:Thats right.

a bunch of times, and it was particularly humiliating.

Caplan:Wasnt Kevin Hart in that episode too?

Scott:He was.

Marino:Yeah, I got high with Kevin Hart.

I mean, I didnt gethigh with,but we acted like we were getting high.

Etheridge:And I believe he said, I just want to do Matthew McConaughey.

Scott:He did a Matthew McConaughey impression for the role.

Thomas:So John had written a whole string of jokes with Kevin Hart.

Enbom:We wrote multiple episodes with Souplantation jokes.

In fact, dont use our name in an episode.

Thomas:That was a profound moment.

Scott:Its such a profoundly stupid idea for a restaurant.

Its perfect for Ron.

John and Rob, you picked that one.Thomas:You want to talk about it?

Enbom:Well, I mean, for me there were two specific things about this.

So I was very nervous and everything, and then he just went berserk.

Everyone was really going for it in this particular episode.

So I cant help but always be fond of this one.

Thomas:Yeah, that moment when Henry is having to do Are we having fun yet?

That moment when I first saw the cut of it made me laugh like nothing else.

That was like the high point when I saw that.

Starr:And Constance Carmell had done a movie calledDingleberry.

Starr:That all the mob guys were a big fan of.

Lynch:Listen, I recognize you from getting out of the stream and wrapping yourself in silks.

And I said, you sawDingleberry?

Love the throwing up.Caplan:I mean thats the, that was the thing.

Like Ken, on the ground, throwing up, yelling Call an ambulance!

and just being there with the hose that was spraying the vomit.

There was so much vomit, and I laughed so hard when I watched.

Etheridge:And I think this was the height of darkness.

Starz wasnt always thrilled that, most of the time, none of the characters ever won.

But they were behind that and they knew thats what we wanted to do.

But man, this episode is about as dark and bleak as it can possibly get.

We thought wed gone too far when we had done it.

I just hate it so, like ten times more pathetic and wonderful.

Enbom:I just love remembering how injured you were the next day from all your vomiting.

You were that committed.

Marino:There was a lot of convulsing, yes.

It hurt the next day.

He would reconnect with someone.

He would somehow find a way to feel better.

But what Lizzy was talking about him saying, Call an ambulance!

while he was vomiting thats how the episode ends.

Etheridge:Molly Parkers devastated in tears.Marino:Shes crying.

Caplan:Oh, I remember her thing.

God, what an episode.

Scott:Molly Parker was great.

Enbom:I dont think he wanted any.

Thomas:Weve completely oversold it, weve completely oversold it!

You cant see that much!

Were not a show that traffics in underselling it.

Do you remember that?

Oh, it was amazing.

[Still from Steve Guttenbergs Birthday appears on monitor.]

Though I do feel like if were going to talk about this, we should have someone else here.

[Steve Guttenberg walks out.

]Hansen:We already said hi to Steve, so thats why he didnt hug us.

Backstage we said hi.

Steve Guttenberg:Well I was sitting back there.

I said, No, no, no.

not yet, not yet.

How did this happen?

How did you guys get Steve on the show?Enbom:Oh boy … Enbom:Well, without Steve Guttenberg.

Thomas:No, no, no, no.

Enbom:We were just looking for parties that didnt have extras because they were our biggest expense.

Thomas:Well, thats true.

But we had Steve Guttenberg.

I wrote back, Hey.

Just put you in an episode so I hope youre available.

And later on you said, Hey, weve got this episode with you.

And I didVeronica Mars.

So I thoughtOh no, not another pedophile.

Oh my God, Im going to get typecast.

It was really a lot of fun.

Everybody here are nice people and, well, almost everybody is a really nice person.

Thomas:You sound like Steve Guttenberg in the show.

It was really that funny?

And they go, Yeah, it was amazing.

I go, Okay, great.

You just brush real quick and you throw the thing down.

When I saw you on set, it was a huge moment for me.

Guttenberg:Yeah, no, we talked about that.

And then you and I got to have lunch in New York.

Marino:Thats right.

Guttenberg:It was really good.

Marino:Which was like Check it off the bucket list.

Scott:What did you guys eat?

Marino:Yeah, mostly food.

Lynch:Thats awesome.

This is the episode where you have the people do what they ostesibly have said that they are.

You have your actors acting, the writers writing.

How did you approach that scene where its basically like Adam, be good at acting.Scott:Fake acting.

Werent we all just like,Holy shit.

Thats what it was.

It was all perfect.

Guttenberg:And when you guys were, I can act you out of this room.

The words were, what was the line?

Something, I can act better than you feel; I have more feelings than you.

You were upping each other.

Thomas:Its One feeling tied behind my back.

Guttenberg:Yeah, One feeling tied behind my back.

That was a great line.

Just a great line.

Starr:Chris Mintz-Plasse was in this episode too, right?

Are you guys getting a lot of ladies?

Guttenberg:And by the way, Martin has been over to my apartment for spaghetti and meatballs.

Caplan:What?!

Caplan:You got a Gutt invitation?

I made the spaghetti and meatballs.

Starr:It was homemade.

It was made by the fucking Gutt.

Guteenberg:Im sorry, Ken.

Next time youll come to the apartment.

Marino:Whatd you guys eat?

Starr:Oh God.

But it was fun.

But I was out, you know?

When you feel like youre not even there?

Like youre just on another … Thats how I felt the whole time we were shooting that week.

Im surprised that I didnt infect all of you.

Marino:A coked-up Megan Mullally is a good Megan Mullally to watch.

Mullally:It really is.

Caplan:Thats the only one I know.

Im coked-up right now.

Scott:Is there another one?

Mullally:I tried to dress like a cater waiter today but that was my closest approximation.

Yeah, but what else about that episode?

A lot of extras, yeah.

Scott:Which one was it?

Marino:Paul Scheer was in it.

It was, your writing partner is successful.

I dont remember the name of the episode.

I think its your writing partner is successful.

Mullally:Wasnt that every episode?

And so, specifically the final shot, in which Henry is going to audition.

Starr:Yeah, I hope it hasnt for good here.

Jane came back because it was her wedding.

It was something about shell have a good life or its hard some profound thing.

Do you remember what the line was?

It was tough to say and Ken was directing, doing an incredible [job].

It was so, so fun and an apt ending.

I think we all kind of had a feeling in our gut that this was gonna be it.

Caplan:Because then you took that other show.

Hansen:Thanks, Adam.

Starr:Yeah thats … thats when we really knew.

That was a tip-off for sure.

Scott:Well …

Marino:Thats not how it went down.

Thomas:That is not how it went.

Caplan:Did you cry at the end of that show too, Adam?

Mullally:I want to do it again.

Can we do this show again?

Lynch:Yes, c’mon.

A Party Down Movie?

So lets talk about the movie.

Theyve already written the movie.

It is now 2019.

Have you talked about it in any more recent years?

Do we feel like its a realistic possibility?

Would you want to do a movie?

It really is a great group.

Hansen:I would do, like, a cool web series or something.

Starr:I think you already did.

Lynch:Five-minutes kind of thing.

Enbom:A Quibi?

Scott:John, Rob, Dan: What do you guys think?

Starr:Are you just saying that for an applause?

Cause that was fucking cheap.

You guys have all been really busy since youve had all really great careers.

Where doesParty Downsit in terms of the things that youve done?Marino:Number one.

Lynch:Number one.

Scott:Number one.

Caplan:Number three.

Lynch:Fuck you, Lizzy Caplan.

Caplan:No, number one.

Mullally:Yeah, number one.

It was the most fun.

It was the most fun.

Enbom:I got to have fun.

I had more fun than you did.

Thomas:I made more money.

Thomas:Are you kidding?

What a dick thing to say.

Just wanted the punchline.

Caplan:But you did.

You did make more money.

Thomas:I did.

Starr:You speak the truth.

Enbom:Thats why Im sad.

Scott:You know what episode that I always forget about but was extraordinary, just before we finish?

I want to say the one that Wayne directed, the theater group?

Enbom:Not On Your Wife.

Scott:Goddamn, that was great.

Mullally:That was a fun one, yeah.

Scott:It was so fun.

Thomas:Kyle, you thatch-headed wastrel.

Starr:Was that magnificent?

Marino:Yes, that was magnificent.

Any other last memories before we wrap it up?

Anybody?Caplan:It wasnt really Adams fault this show ended.

I just want to make that clear.

Scott:Thanks, Lizzy.

Caplan:Youre welcome.

Mullally:Who wants my wig?

Does anybody want it or is it too gross?

[Mullally stands up and walks toward the crowd.]

Starr:[points to an audience member] She got all dressed up.

Shes not even raising her hand, so she doesnt want it.

Mullally:Oh no.

Youre wearing aParty Downoutfit, but …

Scott:She deserves it.

Lynch:Give it to her.

Marino:Give it to theParty Downoutfit.

Mullally:Wait, we should show how.

Let me just see it for one second.

Look how gross it is.

Its so shiny and weird.

Scott:Youre welcome.

I went to Hollywood Boulevard.

I dont think I was reimbursed.

Its okay, Im onWill & Grace.
