+++ CONTAINS PROFANITY+++
2. SOUNDBITE (English) John Pirruccello, Donald Webber Jr., Bill Burr, Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk Michael McKean, and Howard Overshown, actors – on the struggle:
Odenkirk: “The competition aspect is what’s relevant. The basic scenario of everybody is an independent contractor. You know, that’s our new world, right? You don’t work for a company that pays for your health insurance, that has a lifetime commitment sort of to you. And with you, it’s just you’re on your own, we’re hiring you. You deal with your sh*t, and it’s you against the guy next to you, and…”
Burr: “You work from home. You have to be on a zoom call. We get to see part of your house, that gives us more information to crush you more. I just view this play as just no different than streaming services sort of taking over Hollywood, how it’s worked, how that changed everything from back in the day when you used to pay 10 bucks to see a movie. Now you pay 20 bucks and you see all of them and it’s completely devalued what everybody’s doing. And like five guys get all the money and everybody else can go f**k themselves. And that’s kind of like what’s going on in this thing.”

4. SOUNDBITE (English) John Pirruccello, Donald Webber Jr., Bill Burr, Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk Michael McKean, and Howard Overshown, actors – on how the play relates to what’s going on in the country:
Burr: “Yes.”
Odenkirk: “I feel it’s true. Yeah, I feel like the competition aspect of our current commerce and the way people live is just totally alive in this play. And more true almost than it was back then, where it was isolated to the guys who worked in these kinds of offices. And I think everybody’s living in this competitive environment.”
Burr: “Yeah, it was so it was way more regulated back then. Capitalism was actually regulated and they sort of deregulated it. And now we’re back to a robber baron era.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English) John Pirruccello, Donald Webber Jr., Bill Burr, Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk Michael McKean, and Howard Overshown, actors – on people confusing the movie with the play:
Burr: “I saw the film. That’s the number one question I get. Everybody’s like, ‘oh, you’re doing Glengarry. Who’s doing the Alec Baldwin part?’ And I just go, that’s not in the play there. And they go, ‘it isn’t?’
Culkin: "Well, they could have put it in, right?"
Burr: “And then they get all sad.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) John Pirruccello, Donald Webber Jr., Bill Burr, Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk Michael McKean, and Howard Overshown, actors – on people confusing the movie with the play:
Culkin: “I’m in the dark and I’ve never seen the movie. I’ve never seen a production of the show, which I’m happy about, so I don’t have any frame of reference. You said the movie ends differently. I didn’t know that. So, I don’t know. I’m in the middle of discovering what the hell this is. Sometimes I just read something and I go, oh, this is great, and I’ll figure it out in time. I feel like we’re I’m still like, I think we’re scratching the surface here, so I don’t know.”

McKean: “Think about change.”
Overshown: “And our first day of rehearsal, we actually had a good message. Mamet was on the phone and what did he say, the stupid…”
