Think back to when you were breaking episodes.
We didnt want the episode just to be preaching to the choir.
She needed a time of wandering in the microdosing desert before she finds an outlet for her frenzy.
As you were writing this, did you worry the dialogue would pass muster?
We had plan Bs.
And even, we think, plan Ds.
Luckily, most of CBS concerns were about how Lizs character phrased her accusations.
They had to be in the form of conjecture, not absolutes.
There was also an objection to the suggestion thatPresident Trump used the N-wordduring anApprenticetaping.
Both Diane and Liz have pretty long and passionate speeches.
We tend to not like speeches.
We rarely have lines go on for more than two sentences before someone interrupts.
So we think Christine and Audra were thrilled to get a chance to do something more theatrical.
And, of course, the words were a great outlet for both actresses.
Sometimes its great to have language be so crude and violent.
So Liz will be Wonder Woman in the impeachment case.
We want to make a run at keep the narrative consistent with all of our lived realities.
The Good Fightis currently streaming on CBS All Access.
