Transcript of press conference, part 1:
Cast members (in order of appearance):
Moderator: I’d like to open it up now to questions from the media and anyone else who has a question about what they found about the real Deadwood and what it’s like to do a show on the small screen each week that highlights our history. Audience: silence Cast (some rising as if to leave): OK, thank you. Earl: We’ll be at the tables. Audience: Have you all had fun here – I mean, I know you haven’t been here very long. Paula: We plan to have fun. Earl: I’ve been here for a week. I’ve had a hell of a lot of fun. Jim: I was here for a week last year and I’m just getting over it. I had a great time. Richard (to audience member): Well, have you had fun yet? (Pause) You can talk to Peter Jason about being a veteran actor (referring to moderator’s earlier introduction). Peter (imitating an old man): What’d he say? Jim: Which is Hollywood talk for really old. Earl: I’ve got a funny story. Last year when I was here I knew I fell in love with this town – ’cause we (gesturing to Jim Beaver) overlapped for a day – I just came up with my family and we were here for four days – we went from the Telluride Bluegrass Festival up here – um, and I was invited – the Bodega (a local casino) had their first wet tee-shirt contest and I got invited to be a celebrity judge so of course I took them up on it. And one of the guys, who shall go nameless for fear of embarrassing him – he’s one of the gunfighters out here – ’cause he’s the one that invited me over – well, he worked there and he was the guy in charge of pouring the water on the ladies. So it finishes – aw, it’s a lot of fun. He comes up – he’s talking to me and says, “You know, Earl, I’d really love to say around and talk but I gotta get back to jail.” He said, “I’m on work release, man. I gotta get my ass back to jail.” I said, “Wait a minute – you get out of jail to come and play cowboy all day, and then at night you come over here and pour ice water on chicks’ tits.” He said, “Yeah.” “You got the best job in the whole cell block, man.” So I knew this was my kind of town. Jim: That was in the old time section. Audience: So did the swearing come naturally to you guys or not? Paula: Yes Peter: What the fuck do you care? Jim: There goes the Readers Digest article. Earl: “Hooplehead” was the only one I hadn’t heard before and David (Milch) made it up. Richard: Somebody tell them about looping. Paula: Oh god. Earl: Syndication looping. Paula: Syndication looping is where we have to go and make it clean for the clean channels. It takes days and days and days. You’re in there for, you know – for weeks. Jim: Dubbing nice clean words in over … Audience: What words? Earl (to other cast members): Have you done yours yet? Paula: Things like, instead of “prick” we’ll say “stick.” Titus: Cobsucker … Paula: Cobsucker .. Titus: Cheese and rice … Paula: Cheese and rice … Titus: Up your pass … Audience: Up your pass? That sounds worse. Robin: Those are fighting words. Earl: That does sound worse. Paula: I’m surprised they let you get away with that one. Up your Khyber (Pass). Titus (to Paula): Ah – what time did you go to bed last night? Paula: I went to bed early. I was here on time, motherfucker (referring to the fact that Titus was slightly late to the press conference). Audience: I just was wondering how the real Deadwood compared to your set and, you know, how you feel about it coming here to the real … Jim: It’s cleaner. Audience: The real Deadwood or the set’s cleaner? Paula: The real Deadwood’s much cleaner. Audience: Well, but they spray the dirt … Paula: Well, it’s really – we’re at the stage where you still can’t walk around without, you know, being up to your knees in muck. Earl: And shit. Paula: And shit … Earl: Because that’s all real. Paula: … shit’s true. Robin: There’s horses -- yeah … Jim: We haven’t figured out how to get the horses to artificially crap. Peter: It’s great to drive into town and actually see the places that we’re working in, knowing where they are, and it’s amazingly how accurate, kind of, our set is to the town. Audience: So you feel at home then. Peter: You know where to look for … Paula: He’s at home – he’s got – he’s been at the slots all morning. Peter: Well, I wanna look around while I’m here. Jim (pumping his arm as if working a slot machine): One-arm tourist. Audience: How many of you this is your first trip to Deadwood? Paula (raising hand): Me. (Also raising their hands are Sean Bridgers, Robin Weigert, and Franklin Ajaye). |
