“We’re supersensitive right now,” mock-warns Jacinto.
Says Carden: “We’ve been trying to keep the tearsinsideof our eyes.”

Adds Jamil: “I’m fing overwhelmed.

“I wasn’t ready for it, emotionally.
“We didn’t pull any punches,” he says.
But it also means it’s like, ‘All right, aholes, whaddaya got?
What’s the final chapter of the book?’
So it definitely feels like a tall order.”
