Транскрипт первой части Мишиной панели в Мельбурне (спасибо gypsy_sunday с ЖЖ)
часть 1This is a transcription of the first half (~35 minutes) of the panel. Misha's answers are pretty much word for word, the audience members' questions are less carefully transcribed.
[audience cheers as Misha takes the stage]
M: No, don't stop cheering. From there it all goes downhill. Um, that was a great video. It's like all Cas ever does is kick ass. It's not season four Cas anymore! Wilts like a flower. ... Hello.
[hi, hello, etc.]
M: So what's protocol here? So it's a whisper screening? Is that a-- a screening? [...] So. Here's a little tip. Whisper something nice, and then ask the real question. They probably didn't think that. [...] They did think of it? [...] Then it's on my shoulders. Thanks. I just threw myself to the wolves. They look like nice wolves. [indecipherable] I'm sorry, Barbara, carry on.
Q: My question is about the fight scenes in the 100th episode? Quick compliment actually, my husband teaches martial arts--
M: You don't have to make it quick if you don't want to. Mine drags on for a while.
Q: --and your sword fighting in the woods, with the two angels, my husband says that was absolutely textbook. I had to play it four times in a row for him, he was so excited.
M: That's good editing. If you'd been on the set, you'd have seen that the textbook was falling apart. The binding was completely torn off, and the pages were everywhere. I was, um, I did actually though, I have to say though, the only fight scene that I had really done training for. I trained for like two weeks for that fight scene, with this guy that was like a black belt for six different things. Ooh! He was, he ended up playing the angel that I sort of... fought with.
Q: My actual question was, how much fun was it beating the shit out of Jensen, and how did you both approach that?
M: I think he approached it with trepidation and me with glee. And, by the way, excellent template: a compliment, and then a question. Good on you. I gotta say, Jensen kicked the shit out of himself in that scene. You've hear about stage combat, right? You're not supposed to actually hit each other, you're supposed to, you know, fake it, and obviously you're faking a lot of those punches, believe it or not. I didn't actually hit him... every time. Um, but he was-- he threw himself into the trash cans, and he uh. [laughs] He had to have a professional masseuse come to set, because he was quite sore. But a lot of it was his own doing, some of it was mine. And it was fun, it was fun. It was a tough scene, though. Those fight scenes are actually some of the toughest things to do because... you have to shoot them in little bits and pieces, they only work from you know, certain camera angles. ... Yes, I'm just rambling on.
Q: Hi, welcome to Melbourne. My question is--
M: Your question as filtered through the censors, yes.
Q: --post-Carla you find yourself slightly sociopathic. Post-Cas, what are you holding onto? What are you finding trouble letting go of? What parts of him are now part of you? Like--
M: Just for those of you who aren't up to speed here -- I'm just cutting you off, that was enough of a question... Um. So, Carla for those of you who don't know, gross movie, don't watch it. I play a serial killer/rapist based on a real serial killer/rapist and I discovered that I have like, I could tap into certain violent, sadistic qualities of my nature that I didn't know were there while shooting it and it was kind of shocking to find out. And I guess what I take away from shooting Supernatural and playing Cas is, you know, I didn't know that I could teleport. You just don't know that stuff's in you until you... Time travel, too. And it's been, you know, good and bad.
[moderator asks audience to put cameras away, Misha makes some kind of quip (indecipherable), audience laughs]
Q: Hi, Misha.
M: Hi. Wait, can I ask one quick question? I'll ask the question and then you ask one.
Q: Sure.
M: Who right now is the one that is recording the shaky video that goes online? I can't see it, but I know it's happening... Alright, yes, Castiel1, what were you saying?
Q: To avoid spoilers for some of us, the episode where Castiel is affected by Famine--
M: To avoid spoilers, Castiel has been recast, obviously.
Q: Throughout the episode we see Castiel reverting back to his vessel's hunger for White Castle hamburgers...
M: Yes. Have you not seen that? Who hasn't seen that? ... You made handmade Supernatural sweatshirts, you guys haven't seen it? ... Interesting. Put a lot of that creative energy into actually watching the show.
Q: At the end of the episode, Jensen walks into the diner and sees you just munching on some raw meat. I was wondering what was that and did you actually eat any of it?
M: Um, no, I actually eat through a feeding tube. I had a terrible accident, I don't want to talk about it. I also have a colostomy bag. ... You know, in the spirit of openess. ... Which reminds me -- I'll get to your question -- I was hitchhiking once to Banff, it's in British Columbia2, this was like four or five years ago. I was hitchhiking, it was late at night, and I shouldn't have been hitchhiking. And this guy picked me up, and he was this really weird guy, and we were on a long stretch of road. I guess we were going from Edmonton to Banff, which is the middle of nowhere, in Canada. And this guy started saying, "Hey. Hey you guys. I picked up another couple, who was hitchiking, and they came with me to my cabin. In the woods. It's only a couple hours. What do you we go to my cabin in the woods?" And it's like, literally one o'clock in the morning, there's no cars on the highway and where there's no towns, and he's saying he's going to take us to his cabin. And I'm going, "You know what, actually, we've sort of got plans at this hotel up in Banff... My dad's gonna meet me there." I'm thinking, "How can I scare him? My dad's gonna be there!" We're 200 miles away, he doesn't give a shit about my dad! And then we're talking more and he's just scaring the shit out of me, I'm sure we're going to die. And then... I notice a little tube poking out from under his shirt. And I said, "What's that tube?" And he said, "Oh yeah, you know, I have a colostomy bag." ... And suddenly I went, "Oh, fine." I don't know why, but it totally made me feel like-- So, it's weird, but colostomy bags make me feel super safe. All of a sudden my heart rate went completely back to normal. And he had a great cabin! We had a lovely time. ... Um, what the fuck was your question.
Q: [repeats]
M: Yeah, it was uncooked vegetarian sausage mixed with tomato paste. If anyone ever has a cocktail party, try it. See what your guests think. Yeah, ground vegetarian saugage is pretty tough to handle, even in a cooked state, so this was super disgusting. It was such a rough week, all in all. I ate a lot of stuff that I didn't want to eat, in a large volume. And that particular scene where I was on my hands and knees, just wolfing that stuff down... Particularly because the first five takes of the scene, I was eating it and then found out -- this is the second time, by the way, that something like this has happened to me -- and then found out that they weren't seeing my... my fucking face. So they're like, "Okay, now Mish, now we're gonna have to ask you to really start eating." And I'm like, "I'm already full!"
Q: [goes up to the mod]
M: Wait, hold on, lets do one uncensored question, see how it goes.
[Misha's phone goes off; he borrows an audience member's phone to call back and ends up leaving a message on someone's voicemail3]
Q: Who would you like to act opposite with the most?
M: I'd probably learn the most if I could do a scene with myself. You know how Jensen did that one episode? Where he was playing against himself? I would love to do that... You know, there a lot of different actors who are very very good. And personalities, like Mister Rogers is really... Um, yeah, I'm not going to answer that question. But you wanted to know, favorite sexual position? [...] See, the beauty is, there's no censorship going in this direction. Go ahead. And cover your ears those of you who are under-- how old? [eighteen, sixteen] Some people are like, "Eleven!"
Q: What was it like going into season four as a fairly major character, when all the other actors had working together for so long?
M: What, Jared... and Jensen? All two of them? [...] Season five is sorta similar to season four in terms of how much I actually ended up doing... I only get two more episodes in season five than I did in season four. But joining the show -- just to modify the question a little bit, I'm editing it -- joining the show in general was just, it was cool. It's a great group of people to work with. That's not true of a lot of TV shows, but it is of Supernatural, we just have a lot of fun. We laugh a lot, we cry a little... It's a great place to go to work. And I'm not one to wax sentimental about stuff like that, but everyone in the crew has stuck with the show for five years, and it's a shitty show in a lot of respects to the work. I mean it's hard, working until four o'clock in the morning, Vancouver is always raining, and cold, and people don't quit. Which is kind of amazing. Um, you know, I mean whatever, you have to deal with Jared and Jensen but. It's a small price to pay.
Q: If you could travel back in time and change any historical event to your liking what would you change and why?
M: Probably the 2004 election results for the United States. [...] I don't know, I don't often think about traveling through time and change the course of history. I'll have to reflect... You know what, let me get back to you.
Q: Do you go out and have a good time and get really really drunk with the cast and crew? And do you have any stories?
M: Yes. We have gone out. We went out one night in the fall, last year in Vancouver. Boy, it was a rough night. We went to the fanciest restaurant in Vancouver, which was having a wine tasting/dinner. With a very celebrated wine maker from California... And it was like all the social elite of Vancouver were there, very high-brow. And because we were TV stars, we got to sit with [the winemaker], at her table. And we got to drinking. ... And we were getting a little loud, and the maître d' kept on coming over and going, "There are other tables here." Which I think we were unaware of. And eventually we got smashed. And Janet was starting to talk about her wine, and she said it was a delicate science and sometimes we have to, um. This could be a really long story. Um. Delicate science, sometimes the acidity is too high, or too low, so sometimes you have to make it more acidic. And Jared said, "How do you do that. What kind of batteries do you put in there." And uh, Janet's like, "No, we don't put any batteries." And he said, "No, like car batteries or double A?" It went on... FOREVER. And Janet was just a little too drunk to know that he was fucking with her? And then it started being like, "No, in our wine there are no batteries! Perhaps some other wineries do use car batteries!" And then the maître d' came over and said, "If you go to the bar, and leave this little banquet room, we can get you some drinks there." We're like, "No, man, we're cool." Then he came over and suggested again, and then finally he came over and started pulling my chair back and said, "We would like you to go to the bar now." We did, we drank some more, the next day Jared had to shoot. [...] There's parts of the story I'm not telling you, but it's for the best. But the point is, yes we do, and we have to be careful. ... It was the only time in my life that I've ever thrown up and not even thought about going to the bathroom to do it.
Q: [yet another question about pranks on set]
M: Mostly I would say that, um, Jared just tries to make my life a living hell. By... I can't... I can't... There's nothing, um. I don't know what it is about me, but I can't not crack, like I can't not start laughing when I'm not-- If I'm not supposed to be laughing? That's when I'm laughing. And typically when you're playing Castiel, you're not supposed to be laughing. So every time my close-ups start rolling, Jared will be doing something to try to make me crack. And it gets, it gets pretty absurd. I don't know, I mean have you ever tried to keep a serious face with a broomstick in your ass? [...] You haven't tried it? Try it sometime. And then you'll know what it's like to play Cas on Supernatural. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if we had to shoot an extra ten or twelve hours of footage that's just me laughing.
[The caller from before calls back and Misha has a conversation with them on speakerphone on stage.3]
---
1: Questioner was a male.
2: Actually, Banff is in Alberta :P
3: From what I can gather, there was a charity auction the day before for a t-shirt that had Misha's phone number written on it (his actual number while he's in Australia). The person who won the auction called him, but his phone had crappy reception so he borrowed an audience member's phone to call them back.
часть 2Q: [fan from China mentions Misha's interests in Buddhism and his travels to Tibet] Is there any other city in China you are interested in visiting, either for studying Buddhism or for any other purpose?
M: Yes. I like the drugs and the women. ... Yeah, I would love to go to China. For some reason I would love to go to Shanghai. But I, yeah. I have often thought about traveling to China. I would also love to go back to Tibet and spend more time there, um. Which I guess some people would say is China.
[the fan Misha had called earlier calls back; they have a conversation on speaker]
M: This feels very unorganized. ... So, China! Yes, are you-- so you're from China? Are you here just visiting or are you staying in...?
Q: I study here, I'm from Beijing.
M: Oh! I thought you were from Beijing.
Q: Is that the only city you know?
M: [shiftily] No. ... Where would you recommend I go?
Q: [recommends Xian, one of the oldest cities in China]
M: Yes, so in answer to your question, I would absolutely love to. I don't know why, but there's no, seems that there's no conventions in Asia anywhere. This is Eurasia, right? Isn't it? [audience corrects him; it's Australasia.] You know what I mean. So, yeah. I don't know why that is. It seems that there are a lot of fans, maybe.
Q: [explains that there are no official broadcasts of the show; there are a lot of fans, but they can only watch the show on the Internet]
[audience members shout stuff out (indecipherable); there is a bit of banter between Misha and them; he calls the next questioner "my cheeky friend" lol]
Q: Who are you closest to on the show?
M: Like, who do I like best? You can't answer a question like that, you know that, right? Um, no, actually, I think I'm actually pretty close with every-- with Jared and Jensen and Jim, we all hang out. So... I'm not even gonna say that, who my closest relation-- Although actually, I will tell-- I'll drop a hint? I do have a bit more of a personal connection with one of them. His first name begins with J. But I'm not gonna tell you any more than that.
Q: Do you have to do much to get into your character?
M: Nope. It's basically just me with a trench coat. Um... You know I think at first, it seemed it took a little bit more but now, you know, it's been a long time so a lot of it... There's weird little things... When I'm coming up with a character there are weird little character sort of things that crop up, I don't know where they're from, but there are certain things about Castiel. He sort of stands in a certain way, I don't know why, he has that creepy voice, I don't know what the heck that is. Um, but so all those little ingredients kind of come together, and then any-- just putting on, now, at this point honestly, just putting on that trench coat? It's like, alright, now: Cas. It's almost like, you know, Superman in the phonebooth. It actually, that kind of warddrobe does something.
Q: Cas comes across as quite... frustrated. Dean's tried to get him laid but it didn't happen. Just wondering if he's going to get any action at any point.
[audience members ask if Misha wants Castiel to get any action.]
M: Do I want--? Oh, no! I much prefer the chaste Cas. Um... You never know with them, with the writers. But it would be a great travesty not to get him laid. I mean, he's a 2,000 year old virgin. And if The 40 Year Old Virgin was good, that's gotta be amazing. Um, yeah, I think it's pretty, for a writer, it's pretty rich material to mine, so I think they would probably-- I would hope that they would [indecipherable] --it's like, "It's too sacred." Or something stupid like that.
Q: Castiel is kind of like the boys' sidekick. If Castiel had a sidekick, who would it be or what would it be, and what would he make him do?
M: Yes, "Lick my boot." I think that would be great if Cas just became this dick who had a servant who's doing menial tasks all the time. "Take that away. I'm done with that. Bring me another, hotter cup of tea." I would... Ideally? Dean would be Cas' sidekick. Um, make him fold his laundry... [audience catcalls/whistles] No no no, not like that. He can um, shovel the walkway! I don't know. Um... Aw, forget it.
Q: Whenever Castiel appears/disappears, we never see what the boys see on screen. Do they talk about it or joke about it on set? Do the wings come out? Does the trench coat come off?
M: We did actually go, we had to go through to, you know. 'Cause the first couple times we did it, it was like one was looking one direction, one was looking another direction, nobody really knew what happened, we just knew that the scene had to keep going. So. They sort of established that when he disappears, he does a very rapid striptease. Appear, "What?" and then disappears. So, yes, in answer to your question, that's what sort of the established lore is now. No, there's weird things, like sometimes they do, like, "Oh, there's wings!" And oh, now there's no wings. And sometimes he appears and disappears kind of in-frame, with a fancy, you know, post-production... You hear that (whoosh). I don't know what that's about. But the important thing is just that it's a lot of me ducking and moving quicking, and a lot of takes where it's like "Okay, Misha we need to do that one more time, I can still see you~" Playing hide-and-seek with the cameraman. "Did you see it? Did you guys see it?" And the hardest thing, believe or not, is-- Disappearing is a cinch, usually, 'cause you just fuck off. But appearing is tricky. 'Cause you have to race in, 'cause it's always like the camera is moving, and then the camera moves back and wait! He's there! And the trick is, I fly in, and then my jacket is like, still swinging. I'm still, but my clothes are still moving. So making it look like I haven't just ran in is tricky. And I think he just disappears, like that. There's no wings. Too much work. Too lazy.
Q: Michael has already told Dean that he will leave his body intact after using him as a vessel. So why doesn't Dean say yes to Michael, so he can kill Lucifer while he's in Nick's body, leaving Sam out of it?
M: Oh... Okay. Why didn't who tell who? Why doesn't... Dean say yes to Michael? [she explains again] I wish we could diagram this. [Lucifer would be in Nick's body, instead of Sam] I see... I wish they had thought of that. Um, it is a good question, and it's like, wow. They're making those two stupid. It's like, "I don't know what we're going to do! I guess we have to play this out until it's the most dramatic thing where it's Sam and Dean in the bodies and..." Um. ... I don't know why. I really don't. That's a good question. [audience member asks if Michael kills Lucifer already, where would the story go?] Yeah, but wouldn't it be nice to have like the last two episodes of the season be like everybody just having a beer? No ghosts, no problems. It's like they get a break for a change. They go see a movie. Sam and Dean, you know, watching Up at the movies. And it wouldn't be boring, because like, Up was great! They can show like, little bits-- a shorter version, an hour-long version of Up on TV. With Sam and Dean in the foreground. How great would that be? Actually I'm going to talk to Eric, 'cause that's a good idea.
Q: Would you be in it?
M: Yeah. Yeah, from time to time, I appear just: "I'm gonna go get more popcorn, guys." Or, "Hey! Psst. What happened?" [in Castiel's deep voice] "What happened? ... Where's Kevin the bird?" It was Australian, right? That bird, it was Australian. I don't know if you guys have seen Up but it's fantastic. [audience agrees] Right? Finally, we agree on something.
Q: How much improvisation happens on the set, and do you have any funny stories about times where scenes were improvised and just went off the rails?
M: Um, no I don't have any funny stories. Period. But, I had a scene, it was actually with Sam. Uh, Jo. Right? That's her name, the character name? [audience corrects him] Ellen? Oh, Jo was who? The daughter. I watch the show sometimes. ... So, um. Yeah, we-- the director said, "Hey, you guys. It'd be kinda cool if you do a little improvising in this scene. So, go." And we were both... incredibly... boring. I could see the first AD1 sort of off in the corner, looking at his watch, rubbing his forehead and you know, God. And um, I was like, "Yeah, alright, great." So we did it then I went up to him and I was like, "So that was, uh, that's not going to make it into the show, is it?" He was like, "Nope." We do improvise sometimes, but it's more along the lines of: "Jared, can you please STOP?" Um, Eric is pretty strict about following the sсript. There's a-- every once in a while, you'll throw in a word. Like, you'll be like, "Ow!" And "Ow" wasn't in the sсript and you're... "That was pretty clever! They're going to use it." But they won't. So, um, yeah they stay pretty much spot on with the sсript, and it's not that kind of a set. I think a lot of it is, like, Eric has this Master Plan. And like, tiny little hints are being dropped, and subtle innuendo, and if it's delivered even slightly wrong, maybe the whole puzzle falls apart and he doesn't know what to do anymore. ... So I think that he, you know, he's pretty-- I, there was a couple of episodes early on where I was like, "Yeah, I'm going to make this a little more natural sounding, draw my own flavor." And then, uh, the sсript supervisor came up the next episode and was like, "So, yeah um... H-hey, Misha... Um, uh... Great. Awesome, you did great on that. And also, Eric asked specifically for you to say exactly what's written." That sorta takes the air out of that.
Q: Welcome to Melbourne.
M: Thank you. By the way, Melbourne is a super beautiful city. I went running around the rivers this morning, it was so amazing. Yeah, those bees. Those golden bees on that building!2 ... How can that not cheer you up? Oh, there's a golden bee...
Q: What's the one question you wish people ask you at conventions that never gets asked, and what would your answer be?
M: I think technically that may be cheating, what you just said. "I can't think of a good question, so I'll make him come up with one!" ... No, you know, this is a give and take, it's an audience particpation thing, you can't do that, it's not fair. Um, I, I wish that um, people would-- See, that was one of those moments were I start talking and think, "Alright, maybe something will come together by the time you finish this sentence." It didn't happen. Um, no. I think um, I get plenty of good questions. There's lots of people who do a wonderful job and I wouldn't want to interfere, at all. [audience awws in disappointment] Cheap. ... Uhh okay, fine. ... I've never thought about it, I'll tell you that much. I've never thought, "Why is it I-- Why don't they ask me this... thing that I want to talk about so badly?" [audience member points out that Misha probably would just talk about it even if nobody asked] Right. Exactly. I don't actually care what the questions are, I don't pay attention to any of this. They're almost irrelevent. Um, yeah. No, I mean... I'm sorry. I don't have an answer to that question. It was too much of a stumper. Um, yes. I hate failing at answering a question. It's terrible. It's left me feeling hollow. [audience awws in sympathy] See how I've turned that around? ... You're not booing me anymore.
Q: If you could change anything about Castiel, what would you change?
M: His clothes. And his personality. And his friends. But other than that, I like him just the way he is.
Q: What's been your favorite scene or episode to film, and what's been your hardest scene?
M: I liked doing the episode where I was Cas and Jimmy, it was kinda fun just to have, um. There's a lot going on, it's kind of a puzzle, it's hard to figure out, and it was fun to do, I was the center of attention... And some of the fight scenes are really tough. ... In the hundredth episode, that scene where, after I pull the guy out of the grave and all, that took FOREVER. I mean that was like sunup to sundown, super hard. No words, but just very technical. It's the technical stuff. Or even simply getting shot, or getting stabbed, or pulling a knife that doesn't exist out of your chest, is tricky. And makes you feel like you're a really bad actor, like, "I know we're strangers but this?" You're pulling the fake knife out and you're like, [in Castiel voice for some reason lol] "This guy doesn't know what he's doing. He's terrible. Pulling this fake knife out of his chest... He calls himself an actor?" Um, yes, there's a lot of weird stuff like that that's actually hard to do on the show. And anything to do that's in front of a green screen where it's not actually, you're not actually in the real environment you're in front of... a green screen. I don't know why they call it a green screen.
Q: Assuming that they beat Lucifer, what do you see happening to Castiel afterward?
M: Vacation, probably. Um, I know what happens, believe it or not. But I'm not gonna tell you~ Ha ha. Sorry. Um, and don't make assumptions. Ehh? [wink wink nudge nudge] I don't know. I mean, I just talked to Sera Gamble um, yeah. I, I don't know. I'm not gonna answer any questions or talk about anything else. I'll screw up and then get a phone call. "Misha, hi, this is Warner Brothers..."
Q: From Castiel in the strip club, future!Castiel, and drunk!Castiel which one was the most fun to play and why? And in 24, the long blonde hair, was that all you?
M: Second question, yes. The first three-part question, um. I would say that Cas in the whorehouse and future!Cas were both actually very sexually frustrating because nothing actually happened, so, don't want those. At least drunk!Cas got drunk. That was fun. And that was fun to play, it was fun that scene where Cas shows up drunk and... What? [audience member mentions the voicemail message Castiel left for Sam] Yeah, that was fun, it was fun. And while we were shooting that scene, you know, between takes, uh when I was in the room with Jared and I was opening the refridgerator and telling him not to ask stupid questions, after each take Jared would say something like, "It's so weird to see four years of solid drama get flushed the toilet in one minute." So it's great actually to get feedback from your fellow actors like that. It's nice. Supportive.
Q: My compliment is that you're awesome.
M: Thank you. Right back at ya. [thank you] See, it's a two-way street, people.
Q: Would you rather play the dramatic episodes or the comedy episodes?
M: Um, I don't know if-- I like both. I mean, comedy is fun, but so is good, good drama. Um, and bad drama can be funny, too, so... I like making what could be good drama into bad comedy. I think I have a knack for it. Um, yeah. You know, for some reason like those contemplative sort of, sitting side-by-side talking about earnest matters scenes that Jensen and I have had... For some reason, a lot of those have felt like, "Wow that was actually a really good scene." ... Um, but then, being drunk!Cas was super fun, too, so. Yeah. It's nice actually, on the show, that there's kind of a range. It's not just the same, you know. We're not just interviewing the perp every week. Or, at least, sometimes the perp is a ghost, or a demon, or a wendigo, or whatever.
Q: Do you have any future projects planned acting-wise?
M: Um... [talks into water bottle instead of mic] You just saw a human being completely unraveled. Savor the memory. You'll be able to pinpoint the minute that I completely fell apart. ... What did you just ask? [repeats question] Oh none. No, no plans. I'm doing like a convention, an around-the-world tour right now. I'm going to Europe, I'm going to Frankfurt in two weeks, then Paris the weekend after that, and Barcelona after that and then, uh. And then, I think after that I should be pretty on top of [indecipherable]... I just got back to LA and I've been, you know, talking to my agent. Like, "Hey... You remember me?" Things like that. It's hard, you can't really shoot much while shooting a TV show, except for during hiatus, and if you're off around the world, doing this, you can't really shoot much either. Most of the stuff that I'm actually shooting right now is just little things that I'm doing in my bedroom on my own. Which I haven't really found a distributor for, so. [audience member offers suggestion] YouTube? Oh, okay. ... Tell me more about this Internet. We should talk later.
Mod: Last question.
Q: What has been the funniest or weirdest fan experience you've had?
M: Um. In Sydney... Hey, is she here yet? She knows who she is. ... Sorry those of you who were here yesterday, but um. If-- I don't know, maybe this is just a weird prejudice or whatever but. For me, it does feel a little weird when someone snags your used napkin. And I don't know if that's a cultural thing, like maybe that's... 'Cause in the States, we don't do that. .... They don't do it in Melbourne? ... It was weird. And stealthy. It was like, "No one's looking, are they?" But I saw. And I called her out. And there, I said, "That is the creepiest thing I have ever seen."
Mod: I don't think anyone here will snatch your dity napkin of yours, unless you give it to them. [starts to wrap up the panel] Ladies and gentlemen--
M: And one more thing. If I could go back in time and change anything... It would be, I don't know, I want to say three or four minutes ago, when I started talking into my water bottle and drinking out of my microphone. I could live with that. I could go back and undo that, and be better for it. So, thanks for asking.

M: Okay so here's how this works. How does this work... I use this. To turn this lowly white useless t-shirt... into a valuable work of art. Worth potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars. And then you bid on it, and then I embarrass you with a weird phone call later.
