“What did you say?” “O.K., now we play. Ari, what happened?” “What did I do?” [MUSIC PLAYING] “We should wash our hands first.” “Oh, very good. Yeah.” [LAUGHS] “I love what you’ve done with the space.” “Oh thank you We did it this morning.” “I have made a pizza before because my family is Italian. And my mom has a big pizza oven, so I’ve made a few.
” “Are you a bit of a master? Are you a dough tosser?” “Well, I didn’t say that. I said — are you a dough tosser?” “Yeah, I am a dough tosser. I’ve been since a very young age.” “We have some vegan accoutrement and some non-vegan.” “Some dairy and meaty options as well from my side.” “All of the bases are covered.
This is just an incredible setup that we’ve got here, thank you to ‘The New York Times.’” “Yeah, I love to cook. I just don’t do it often. When I am cooking, it’s usually a sign that there’s friends coming around.” “I love to just roast a whole bunch of vegetables and play it by ear. Hi.” “Hello.” “This is Mr. Bailey.
” “And this is Ms. Grande.” “We are here with ‘The New York Times’ to make pizzas.” “What’s your favorite pizza place?” “When I first moved to London from Oxford, where I’m from, there was a pizza place called Pappa Ciccia.” “Pappa Ciccia.” “And there was a pizza called The Completer, which had every ingredient.
” “The Completer?” “Yeah.” “Sounds intense.” “It was intense, but it really got me through some quite exciting years.” “Wow. The Completer. That’s so scary.” “That’s what I thought of immediately. Where’s your favorite pizza, apart from the one you’re about to make?” “My family’s favorite Italian restaurant in New York is La Masseria.
In LA, I enjoy Crossroads because it’s like a plant-based vegan place. And they make beautiful pizzas. Yeah, what’s your pizza game plan?” “I don’t know. I just have to not get really excited by everything.” “I’m kind of simple, so I’m going to have to try to go outside of my normal comfort zone because there’s so many beautiful things to use.
O.K., now we can get into the dough.” [MUSIC PLAYING] “I don’t know if you’ve seen this technique before.” “I have my own approach. And then you do a little mini toss. It’s like, you go like that. You know what I mean?” “Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.” “I think that’s enough for me. Wow.” “Oh, it’s gonna take over trying to take that.
” “No, this is great. This is great.” “Get some bubbles in there.” “Yours has some real elasticity. You want to keep the middle kind of with thinness there. That’s where it all goes.” “Just so the pizza knows its limits.” “Yeah, someone’s got to.” “Someone’s got to. You can do it.” “Yeah. Is this fresh basil that I can use, or this for the set dressing?” “We suggest using it at the end after the pizza comes out, so that –” “I’m sorry.
I’m sorry. Am I allowed to take these over here? Also set dressing? Guys, this is also set dressing.” “Should I do a little stuffed crust?” “Stuffed crust? Is what you said?” “Yeah, I’m going to stuff my crust.” “Oh, wow. Very forward.” “What’s your earliest or fondest memory of food?” “My nonna’s cooking.” “Yeah, family cooking.
” “Pasta.” “My nanny used to make amazing roasts. And she lived about a seven-minute walk. And we’d always go around on a Sunday.” “Cute. Sunday roast.” “Yeah. The cornerstone of the day was dinner. We would always have breakfast and dinner together as a family. I didn’t realize that’s kind of rare, I think.” “Yeah, we would do Sunday dinners and play cards.
My family would play a game called May I. We still play it.” “Good healthy family competition.” “Yeah.” “If you were to show each other around your hometowns, where would you go eat?” “Well, my hometown, I remember, got a Asian diner that opened in the ‘90s. And that was supreme. They’d serve wine. So I’d probably take you there.
And we’d have crispy shredded chili beef and a bottle of white wine.” “Where would I take you?” “Where would you take me?” “In Boca Raton — I don’t know. My house was always the place to be because everyone was always cooking and eating there. But the Town Center Mall had some zingers. They have a place called Stir Crazy.
That was a big hit. We probably would have gone there.” “What did your nonna make? What’s her signature?” “Her sauce was iconic. And the funniest thing was the dynamic between my nonna and grandpa because even though she had been good at cooking for 60 years, he still didn’t trust that it was going to be right.
He would always check, and she’d be like, go the hell away. I know what I’m doing. And he’d be like, all right, it’s perfect. It was funny. Mozzarella, anyone? The plant-based mozzarella. Time to bury myself in that. Jonny is doing the most advanced pizza making I’ve ever — I didn’t think it was going to be like this today.
This is really incredible. So what’s your plan from here?” “I think if I can just bring out the edges like a sunrise.” “Yeah. That’s beautiful.” “Have you ever cooked for each other?” “Do you remember? You played some music, and I –” “Oh, my god. That’s right.” “It was really good. Yeah.” “That was so sweet.” “The first time I heard –” “’We Can’t be Friends.
’” “Yes.” “Because I had just written it. And I was so nervous about it. I was like, I think I need to put out music. And I was like, will you tell me what you think? I’m scared. You were so cute.” “I said, Ari, it’s a bop.” “No, it was really sweet.” “But what else? No, I listened to three tracks.” “Really?” “Yeah.
You played three.” “What the hell did I play? I remember I roasted trumpet mushrooms. And we made chips. They were seasoned with paprika and stuff.” “Yeah, it was delicious.” “Yeah. And I think there was a vegan pesto involved as well.” “And we had a sushi spread on top of that as well.” “Oh, yes. That’s right.
And we ordered also from Planta Queen. Does this look boring?” “No. I think it looks well put together.” “It looks like a Play-Doh pizza.” “Yeah, it does.” “Has anyone else from the cast thrown a dinner party?” “Jon loves to host.” “It started with a dinner for me with Jon. His mom was there. And she shouted down.
She was like, if you work with my son, it will be the best thing in the world. And she was completely right. She was the one who got me the part. We had a lovely meal and a lovely long chat at the beginning of what turned out to be –” “But no one else could –” “– extraordinary couple of years.” “Could have ever been Fiyero ever, so.
” “Wait until you see my pizza.” “I’m kneading it like a cat that got taken away from its mom at a young age.” “Yeah. Yeah, you really are.” “What, am I purring as well?” “Can we just make sure it’s still slidable?” “Oh, yeah. Good point.” “A little. I’m getting a little jiggle, but just a jiggle.” “Jiggle, jiggle.
Oh, yours is brilliant. Look at that. Are you going to put anything else on yours?” “I was just going to address that. I should. And I will. But in real life, this is where I stop. To me, this is about enough.” “Jonny, do you want to explain what you’re doing?” “I’m experimenting. I just suddenly thought if I sear the side, it will rise and ooze like a pie.
” “Ooh, wow. That’s genius. I really like colorful tomatoes. I’m mixing in some orange and yellows.” “I try and get to Italy once a year. The thing is that with pizza specifically, it’s obviously you can’t beat the ingredients and the delicious flavors –” “– of a fresh Italian authentic pizza.” “Yeah.” “It’s true.
You really can’t. Sorry.” “Go on. O.K., go on. Ow.” “I’m sorry.” “Can I get some of your artichokes.” “Please, come in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, look at these beautiful broccolinis. See, I’m inspired by every ingredient. I just don’t have the point of view that is required to be an artist at this level of pizza artistry.
I think I’m going to put one in the middle.” “Do you think pineapple belongs on pizza?” “Do I? No.” “I’m not saying that you’re wrong. I’m just saying that I’ve never even let my mind go there. And I know plenty of Italians who like it as well. So it’s not like — I’m not really — I’m not judging, I promise.
Do you like it?” “It’s a heinous crime.” “It really is.” “I’m going to put some oyster mushrooms on mine just because I’m so excited to see them.” “Problem is I can focus on one thing, a conversation or a pizza.” “I feel like I’ve only been able to hear half of what’s been said because I’m doing something. Just so you know, this is not me.
I wouldn’t make this pizza outside of this. But they’re such a gorgeous –” “It’s telling a story of the beginning of life.” “Oh, my god.” “The one sprout of an original idea.” “Yeah, this is the life cycle. This is the human — this is birth.” “So many ways that works.” “Yeah, I call this pizza ‘Watching it Happen.
’ Thank you.” “During filming of these movies, was there ever a time you guys couldn’t stop laughing?” “We actually had two moments. Is that O.K.?” “What are you thinking about?” “I’m thinking about two.” “Yeah. The worst?” “Which one are you thinking of?” [WHISPERING] “Oh, there were three times, actually.” “There was one that was unbearable.
They all had different flavors.” “Well, yeah, but this one was the worst because Michelle Yeoh had just won her Oscar. We worked with her two days later. And something about the wedding scene was really hard for us.” “I think they were like, we’re not going to show you, Ari, in her dress until –” “Until I’m walking down the aisle.
Yeah.” “Really building it up.” “Which they thought was going to be really emotional and sweet. But it was only funny because –” “Because of the train.” “Yes, because it was –” “It was like, if you bumped into someone who was in the North Pole trying to get just to final bit.” “Well, because Jon had told me to please keep my train as still as possible because they happen to be shooting.
For some reason, Jonny arrived when they were shooting the overhead. And you’re seeing the big 25-foot wedding train and the veil and whatever it was. There was a lot of roughage and twigs on the floor, that my train kept getting caught on. So Jon gave me this note right before we went. And he was like, hey, Ari, please just try to keep your head as still as possible.
And Jonny’s there. And –” “Taking the whole weight of it on your neck. And Georgie was there. And you see her. She’s coming down. And there’s your beautiful wife to be.” “Jonny.” “Completely locked in.” “And I’m shaking.” “Like cry — sobbing. You looked absolutely stunning. There was just a lot of effort that had to go in.
” “There’s no way I didn’t look like the most worried person in America. He was so far away, that I couldn’t see him. And then as soon as he came into focus, I see that he’s like this, crying, laughing, trying to withhold his tears. And then by the time we got to the altar and Michelle Yeoh –” “It was bad.” “– who, by the way, there’s no way that Madame Morrible is ordained.
But that’s O.K. But by the time we got to the end, we were giggling.” “It was awful. And it was close up on her.” “On Michelle. You could see the tiny tips of our noses. And they were shaking.” “Just going –” “And Jon, was like, you guys. And Michelle was also so cool about it.” “Oh yeah.” “She was like, yeah, it happens.
” [MUSIC PLAYING] “I have salted my pizza. I have garnished my pizza as much as I am comfortable going.” “I’ve eaten more. I’ve eaten more than I put.” “What do you have so far, Jonny?” “I have a little mushroom in the middle. What did you say?” [LAUGHS] “So far I have a pizza that has sausage, artichoke, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, stuffed crust with cheese.
” “One olive.” “There’s a whole lot of hope, and optimism, and faith in there.” “Yeah. But this is my garden.” “It’s an urban garden.” “It’s got some sauce, some fresh tomatoes, some oyster mushrooms, two guys in the middle. And it has some rosemary crust.” “It looks delicious.” “Yay. Oh, my god. You’re going still.
There’s a lot that’s changed since he described.” “I’m going to make this an homage to The Completer pizza.” “Oh. Cute.” “I think.” “I love that yours is like a tribute to home and mine is offensive to my family. Do you know what I mean?” “Yeah. Saying goodbye to my heritage.” “Yeah. Nonna’s like, ‘What the hell is that broccolini doing in the middle?’ My mom hates rosemary.
I mean, this is a disaster.” “No. I think it’s good.” “Well, I like it. I should put one of these flowers on here because it’s so beautiful. (SINGING) But it feels like it’s going to ruin it But it’s so pretty And I can’t.” “Why don’t you just put them around, so they can bake around it?” “Genius. That’s nice. Yeah.
” “Baked beans. Is that a challenge?” “Jonny.” “That must have been done before.” “You have to — this is — It’s done. I think it’s done.” “You know what? Marmite would be a knockout on a pizza.” “Hold on.” “What?” “This is not logistically — no, because this doesn’t go — hold on.” “Oh. You knew this Scott.” “Who set me up to do that? Oh, we can make another pizza.
Guys. Come on. How much time do we have? Do we have time for a few more pizzas?” [MUSIC PLAYING] “O.K.” “This is us in the middle.” “What, a mushroom and a broccoli?” “Yeah. That’s us. Ready? Top or bottom?” [LAUGHS] “I’m ready now. You’re on top.” “All right.” “Look at that. Perfect.” “Wow. O.K. O.K.” “O.K., start the clock.
” “After you.” “O.K., now we play. Has it got a name?” “You can name it.” “Flubber.” “Flubber. Well, all right.” “Yeah? I know you’ve lived a long life, but you’re just about to go into a new little chapter.” “Yes. You’ve worked so hard. And you’ve been through so much. And you deserve all of the good that’s on the other side coming to you.
” “Thrive. Be kind.” “Yes. Be kind. Be grateful. Stay close to your family. And –” “Keep on bubbling.” “Yeah, yeah, yeah. After you, sir. I don’t really trust myself with this part. Did I mix it enough?” “We should we do a secret wish and dream. That was one for you.” “Oh, my god. O.K. Perfect.” “Great.” “Did you make a wish, or did you give it a message?” “I said, what’s your favorite capital city?” “Perfect.
” “Our parents.” “I’m going to put it — I’m gonna wear it in a papoose.” “Is that good?” “Whoa. Ari, what happened?” “What did I do? Guys, what the hell did I do wrong?” “I think that’s going to settle, though. And it’s going to be absolutely delicious.” “Oh, my god. You guys, I’ve never seen anything like this.
” “I’ll tell you what’s anchored it, that bit of broccolini.” “You guys, I don’t know what I’ve done. I don’t know what I’ve done.” “It’s what pizza does.” “That’s a really generous thing to say. I’ve never seen a pizza do this. It looks like it’s from ‘Mars Attacks!’” “It’s like a jacket potato. Wow.” “That’s stunning, Jonny.
Congratulations.” “Oh, you smell the garlic.” “Oh, wow. I forgot garlic.” “Yeah.” [MUSIC PLAYING] “Look at the cheese. It’s spilling out the sides.” “Yeah, it is. Oh, my gosh. That’s magnificent, Jonny. Mine is a full ass.” “How are you guys feeling?” “Ashamed.” “I think it’s like a Picasso. It’s sort of absurdist.
It’s great.” “That’s so nice. Thank you.” “How do you feel about yours, Jonny?” “Proud as hell. Shameless.” “It’s perfect. I mean, please. I didn’t mean that. Mine is beautiful. And I’m very proud of it as well. Mommy’s very proud. You did your best.” “If you were a food dish, what would you be? And can you answer for each other?” “I think you’d be like a whipped terrine.
” “What’d you call me?” “Because it’s light and delicious.” “I know what you are.” “A spotted dick.” “What?” “Is that a fish?” “No, it’s a pudding, isn’t it?” “What is happening?” “That’s a British thing, isn’t it?” “I don’t know what that is. You’ll have to show me.” “I’ll show you.” “If you were a dish, you would be this beautiful little potato, fluffy thing.
And it’s like, this little cute cloud.” “Ooh, nice.” “And it’s beautiful. And it’s full of light and airy. And that’s what you would be.” “I think they’d go quite well together.” “Yeah.” “I reckon I’m probably bubble and squeak. Is that another British thing? Bubble and squeak is yesterday’s leftovers all thrown into one.
” “I think I’d be a strawberry.” “Thank you for making the best dough.” “Ever.” “I think this is really what’s –” “It really is. Can we do one?” “Go on.” [MUSIC PLAYING] “I’m going to make a bunch of slices because this looks beautiful.” “If only we had lots of people here to feed.” “Yeah, who will we share it with? Does anyone want to try mine?” “Cheers.
” [MUSIC PLAYING] [LAUGHS] “They are good.” “Aren’t they?” “How’s your –” “I’ll tell you what, the Marmite and the cheese is a winner.” “That’s really nice. That’s way more flavorsome than mine.” “How is that possible?” “This has been really calming and lovely.” “I don’t know if anything’s usable, but we had a blast.
” [OVERLAPPING SPEECH] [LAUGHS] “’Wicked, For Good,’ check it out.” “And go and see ‘Wicked.’” “Please. Please, God. We’re so sorry.” “I got used to it.” [LAUGHS]
The Untold Story Behind Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey’s Kitchen Connection
The Kitchen Connection: Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey’s Unfiltered Pizza Session
In the middle of the whirlwind press cycle for the highly anticipated Wicked movie, Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey decided to do something refreshingly normal: they made pizza. The result, captured in an exclusive session with NYT Cooking, wasn’t just a culinary lesson; it was a rare, intimate look at the friendship between two of the industry’s most talented stars.
Watching the two navigate a kitchen—Bailey experimenting with “advanced” pizza techniques and Grande keeping it simple but stylish—feels less like a staged interview and more like a Sunday afternoon with friends. It’s a moment of calm in a storm of fame, and it’s exactly what their fans need to see.
Memories of Sunday Dinners and Family Traditions
As they rolled dough and scattered toppings, the conversation naturally drifted to the things that define us outside of our careers: family and food. Grande, sharing stories of her Italian upbringing, spoke of the cornerstone of her family life: the Sunday dinner. It was a time for cards, healthy competition, and the kind of connection that is becoming increasingly rare in our fast-paced world.
Bailey, on the other hand, brought a bit of British charm to the table, sharing stories of his nanny’s roasts and the importance of those seven-minute walks to family meals. It’s a sweet, grounded reminder that behind the massive film sets and the global recognition, these two are just people who value the same things we all do—good food, family presence, and the occasional game of cards.
The Art of the Pizza Game Plan
One of the most hilarious parts of the interview was watching their different approaches to pizza making. Bailey, ever the perfectionist, attempted an “advanced” technique involving searing the edges, while Grande was focused on keeping things simple—though she did surprise everyone with a “stuffed crust” move that felt like a complete game-changer.
The chemistry between them is palpable. Whether they were laughing over a “Playa-Doh” looking pizza or debating the merits of different toppings, it was clear that the foundation of their friendship is humor. As Grande noted, the first time she played her music for Bailey, she was terrified, but his support was an “extraordinary” part of what made the last few years so special.
What would you have done in this situation? If you were hosting a dinner party with your closest friends, what would be the one dish you’d insist on making, and why?
A Rare Glimpse Into the “Real”
The most significant part of this interview is the normalcy. We are so used to seeing stars in high-fashion, high-concept environments that we forget they also have everyday experiences. When Bailey mentions that his mom helped him get the part in Wicked—a detail shared during a long, lovely chat—it humanizes the entire industry. It reminds us that behind every massive blockbuster, there are families, personal histories, and long conversations that lead to these life-defining moments.
The interview ends on a note of genuine warmth. As they shared their final creations—a Marmite and cheese masterpiece from Bailey and a “Picasso” inspired creation from Grande—there was a sense of accomplishment that had nothing to do with box office numbers.
The Takeaway: Connections That Last
In an industry that can be incredibly transactional, the friendship between Grande and Bailey feels like an anchor. It’s a reminder that even when your life is being transformed by a project as big as Wicked, having someone you can laugh with, cook with, and share a Sunday-style dinner with is the ultimate prize.
As we continue to watch their careers unfold, let’s remember this pizza session. Let’s remember that at the heart of it all—whether you’re a world-famous pop star or a globally recognized actor—the most important things are the connections we forge and the joy we find in the quiet, unscripted moments of our lives.
What do you think is the secret to a lasting friendship in the spotlight, and how do you prioritize those connections in your own life? Share your thoughts below and help us celebrate the joy of good friends and good food.
In the end, this is a story about the anchors we choose. Whether you’re cooking a meal for your family or sharing a pizza with a friend, remember that those moments are the real life—everything else is just the performance. Tag someone who needs to see this!

“Is it sauce first and then things?” “Yeah.” “Or things and then sauce — or cheese and sauce?” “Sauce and then things. Have you had pizza before?” “Yes, but I don’t know.” [UPBEAT MUSIC] “Have you ever made a pizza before?” “Nope.” “Nope. I love to make eggs. I love to make smoothies.” “I like to make eggs.” “I love a breakfast for dinner.
” “I like to make steak.” “I made you a really bad steak once.” “That was good. That was good.” “O.K.” “Do you have a favorite pizza place?” “Grotto’s Pizza — Wilmington, Delaware, represent.” “Domino’s delivery is really not bad.” “Honestly, I agree.” “I don’t know. There’s a lot of stuff out here that I wouldn’t typically put on pizza.
” “Corn? No.” “I kind of [BLEEP]: with pineapple. But that’s pretty basic, right?” “I’m Margaret Qualley.” “Hello, I’m Aubrey Plaza.” “And we’re at The New York Times Cooking.” “And we’re here to make some pizzas.” “Do you remember the first step?” “Pizza.” “Be generous, Margaret.” “More?” “We don’t want the thing a stick on it now.
” “Have either of you ever worked in the food service industry?” “I’ve been a waitress, a hostess, never a bartender. Does that look good?” “Yeah. I’m going to pass you some –” “What? I’m ready. You gotta throw it to me. Yeah!” – [LAUGHING]: “I like the way this feels. I will never go back to Joe’s Crab Shack after someone I worked with stole everything out of my car in the parking lot, took my keys right out of the hostess stand, stole all my CDs, didn’t steal my car.
And there was a lot of Swedish rap songs on there that I’ll never find. I never did anything to anybody at Joe’s Crab Shack. I was nice. But I wish them all the best, the people at Joe’s Crab Shack.” “What’s your comfort meal?” “SpaghettiOs.” “Really?” “I don’t know — as a baby, not now.” – [LAUGHS]: “I would never eat it now.
” “Probably pasta.” “Yeah. It’s like, you just want a warm bowl of spaghettis. Now you got to see it through the hole. Can you see? Yep. Just is this good for sound? I’m just going to just put it right on the boom. (WHISPERING) Are you ready?” “Yeah.” “Now you have to make sure it doesn’t stick to the thing. All right, this is the part I’m scared about.
Is it sauce first and then things?” “Yeah.” “Or things and then sauce?” “Sauce and then things. I’m going in.” “O.K.” “I’m putting this on here.” “Vodka pizza’s yummy.” “I like penne alla vodka.” “Do you want me to make you a penne alla vodka pizza, baby?” “If you want to.” “O.K.” “I used to have that every Friday night.
” “O.K.” “Penne alla vodka and Breyer’s mint chocolate chip ice cream.” “I’m going to make you a penne alla vodka Breyer’s chocolate chip pizza.” “Thank you. Thank you.” “Between the two of you and your co-star, Chris Evans, who’s most likely to start a cult?” “I would honestly pick Charlie Day.” “I feel like Charlie Day would start a cult by accident, because he’s so funny, and charming, and everyone loves him.
” “Yeah.” “That he’d be like, what, everyone’s following me? All right. You just feel like, this guy gets me. This guy sees me. Now we got the vodka on there for mommy.” “I’m going in with some cheese. It squirted out a little. [LAUGHS]: That’s what the pros do. Then I’m going to go in here.” “I’m going to put some pasta on.
” “You are — some macaroni?” “I told you, I’m going to make you a penne — a vodka pizza.” “Oh, cool. Thank you.” “What are you doing?” “I put some olives on here, and then I started eating them.” “Wow. O.K.” – [LAUGHS]: “Getting a little bit crazy now.” “I’m getting crazy?” “I’m going to go with another round of sauce.
” “Was there a scene the two of you couldn’t get through without breaking character?” “Hmm. No, we’re both very professional. And we would never do anything like that, right?” “Right.” “The bar scene was — there was some laughs.” “That was fun.” “It was a stunt, almost, because I had to pretend I was doing the deed to Margaret.
And then I had to kind of, under camera, dip my fingers into this cup of coconut oil that was like — it was kind of like a video game, because I couldn’t look at it. But I had to, like, ‘Tetris’ my fingers in there. And the poor makeup artist was just sitting on the floor holding the cup of coconut oil.” “You ate a lot of coconut oil.
” “I did. I had to eat a lot of it. Now what? That looks great. I would eat that. I’m going to do a spicy honey.” “And I’m just going to — I don’t know what to do. I want to lick my fingers. O.K.” “Hey, that’s nice. Look at you with all your cheeses. There we go. We like this hot honey. Maybe I’ll put one really, really spicy pepper just in the middle.
I’ll hide it. It’ll be like the surprise — you know, these are the spicy ones.” [SHUDDERS] “Here, quick, put this in your mouth. No, I’m kidding.” “I’ll do it.” “No!” “I was so ready. I’ll wash it down with this. I’ll do it.” “Just a little baby –” – [SQUEAKING]: “Really?” “O.K., I think it’s the seeds that are hot.
” “Ah! O.K. Ah! All right, I’m just going to put this right here.” “O.K.” “This is really the grossest pizza.” “That does look pretty gnarly.” “It looks disgusting.” “But thank you.” “Maybe some greens will — hey!” – [LAUGHS]: “All right, this is perfect. This is better than anyone’s ever done it. Yeah, [SHIVERING]:.
Yeah, baby. Oh, baby. That was good. Oh, baby. You like that? That was professional. This would be like, what it would be like if we were married.” “Cute.” “Oh, how did we do?” “Hey, get it off. Get it off. Ah! You get back in there.” “It’s all [BLEEP]:. Baby, go! Woo!” “This is what it would be like if we were married.
” “Yeah!” “Oh [BLEEP]:, you got it.” “I’m just going to flatten it out.” “No, that looks perfect.” “Oh, no.” “This looks perfect.” “I never saw that coming.” [MID-TEMPO MUSIC]: “Ah!” “(SINGING) Come on, little baby, you must grow.” “(SINGING) Grow, grow, grow, grow [HARMONZING]:” “Keep going. It’s working.” “(SINGING) Grow.
” “I’m growing, mommy.” “I’m growing. I’m growing, mommy. I’m growing.” – [LAUGHS]: “Really, really good.” “Go in the fridge now. Good night.” “If you were a food dish, what would you be?” “You might be a gummy vitamin.” “What?” “It feels indulgent –” “I love vitamins.” “– but it’s good for you.” “Aw. I think you would be like a fresh bowl of Bulgarian yogurt.
Because it’s also really good for you but delicious and just looks pretty.” “If you were to show each other around your hometowns, what’s the first thing you’d eat?” “I’d swing you by my dad’s house, because he can’t get enough of Aubrey. He hasn’t met her. But he can’t get enough of her.” “Can’t wait to meet him.
Where is he? I keep asking.” “We’d start there, and he’d make us pancakes.” “Dads love me.” “I left my house at 14. And my dad wrote a song called ‘Pancakes and Tears.’” “No way! Because he used to make me pancakes every morning for breakfast.” “O.K., that explains a lot. I’d take you to The Charcoal Pit, which is one of our local diners.
