2009 - Creative Process: Inside 'House' at The Paley Center For Media -17.06

Lisa: I don't want to miss anything(?)...So it's been phenomenal...And I made out with Hugh.
Hugh: Clarify.
Lisa: On camera!
Hugh: The character of mine.
(Lisa can't stop laughing. Hugh watches her for a minute then does an impression of her big laughter, but she can't see him, because she is still giggling. The audience gives a big laugh.)
Moderator: That's a real blushing schoolgirl down there, Lisa.
Lisa to Robert: (still giggling and trying to get the focus off of her) You go.
Robert: Thanks. (Looks like "Why do I have to follow that?!")

Robert talks about the significance of them being the most watched show and how they don't really have perspective on it because to them the show is just showing up and seeing each other everyday and doing their job. (Short break)

(Lots of laughter, Hugh has apparently been describing shooting the sex scene as 'odd'.)
Lisa: I'm taking notes.
Hugh: I realize I've slightly overstressed the 'odd'. Um, but, new paragraph, to have the immense good fortune...
(Lisa makes a gesture like, 'Keep the compliments coming!').
Hugh: (Lots of laughter because of his backtracking) Don't laugh. Don't laugh. No, honestly, Lisa and I, we do, as you say, we know each other very well, we like each other...so much, we've gotten very close, we've had such a good time for the five years we've been doing this, we laugh, do we cry?
Lisa: Yes, we have cried.
Hugh: That is certainly true (looks at moderator like he is referring to the original question about whether shooting the scene was awkward), but that was certainly a blessing (referring to his relationship with Lisa), if I was going to do an odd thing...
Lisa: 'Odd', again.
Hugh: She's a very good person to do it with.
Hugh: The 'odd' factor. (Makes a gesture like he's checking off another use of the word 'odd'.) I don't know how, it's odd to...
Lisa: I was going to say 'passionate', _________, fun...
Hugh: No, no, it's all of those things...(Makes a face like, "Oops, I kept saying how 'odd' it was and now she's complimenting me.")
Lisa: In my mind...(hand gesture like 'it was all the things I just said'.)
Moderator: The conceptions (perceptions?) are way off here, obviously. (Meaning Hugh thought it was uncomfortable and Lisa thought it was hot.)
Lisa: If someone were trying to seduce me, yes, I would have them set up cameras. That's my world. What value is it of then? (As in, "what does anything matter if it isn't being filmed.")
Hugh: There's no audience.
Lisa: There's a potential audience, after editing. You can always save a performance in editing.
Hugh: Yeah. So I think that's given you a pretty accurate depiction (?), to answer your question.
Moderator to Exec Producers: How long had you been thinking about getting them together?
