There was a green juice scene that got cut, was that it?

DEE:Wait you look so hot!
FAHY:You looked so hot.
DEE:You were like laying on the thing, what is that, a desk?
STEVENS:The front desk.
FAHY:She actually really did say that all the time.
She was like, “It’s gonna get canceled.
It will get canceled.”
DEE:But that’s just because sometimes you have to protect your heart when you love something.
That’s what I did.
FAHY:You’re getting worse at it though, which I love for you.
DEE:I know!
FAHY:You’re starting to really fail at that.
DEE:Like letting people in, can you imagine?
FAHY:She was like, “The show, it’s gonna run.”
Do you all have a favorite?
FAHY:That’s a really good one.
DEE:That’s probably my favorite too.
DEE:I was gonna say that too!
FAHY:I love that one.
DEE:And we certainly did.
You all have had multiple showrunners over the years.
Has that helped keep the show fresh?
We’ve been blessed enough to have a lot of the same crew because we worked in Montreal.
For me personally it felt like I was always with the same people so it felt like a constant.
I think it’s great.
It was so wonderful to end the show with somebody who’s been there since the beginning.
Because you all have been the constant, have you felt like the protector of your character?
Have you ever had to advocate for your character?
On-screen,Jacqueline (Melora Hardin) is such a wonderful mentor to your characters.
Do you all have real-life Jacquelines?
And Melora has certainly been that for us too.
She’s been such a great presence on the set.
FAHY:Your mom is a badass bitch!
Your mom is the baddest bitch!
Who has been your personal favorite?
DEE:Raven Simone.
STEVENS:Also Carson Kressley.
And then she did.
DEE:She follows through.
Let’s talk about the end.
You all have wrapped.
What was the final day of shooting like?
Was it what you expected?
DEE:It was really chill, no one had any feelings.
[Laughs]
STEVENS:It was very emotional.
[Starts to tear up] Oh no!
DEE:Don’t!
No, because then I’ll go there.
STEVENS:I’m getting sad because this is like our last one.
[Crying]
DEE:F—!
FAHY:Oh no I’m laughing and crying at the same time!
STEVENS:Yeah, I didn’t think this would happen.
It was a really emotional day but it was beautiful and exactly what I thought it would be.
I was averaging a cry a day for about a week and a half.
You’ll never see that prop again."
FAHY:But I also really appreciated you for that.
DEE:I loved it.
Were you able to shoot the last scene of the show last?
Even though the scene didn’t really call for it, we were sobbing filming it.
[Starts to tear up]
STEVENS:There it is.
DEE:Shut up.
I don’t want to do it.
But that was actually like, that was a very perfect way to end the whole thing.
[Starts crying] No!
DEE:[Hugging Stevens] You little f—ing earth angel.
This feels really different.
That’s why we’re all crying.
STEVENS:[to Fahy] Should we be background on Aisha’s new movie?
DEE:Can you?
FAHY:Let’s show up as extras.
I’ll be there at the bar.
No, [to camera] I don’t drink.
