Angela Well, I loved the ending of this episode. I think I rewatched it, I don’t know, three or four times. It made me happy. It made my heart happy. And Darryl is playing Macy Gray’s I Try on the piano and Andy is just belting it out. And you have this montage of all this group of people and where they’re at in life and dealing with whatever it is they’re dealing. But your singing. Ed, in that moment, as Andy is like, it’s like your halftime at the Super Bowl, man. You’re just like, everything, your whole body is into it. And it made me so happy. I just love that moment.
Jenna Randy told us that the original song for the end was My Heart Will Go On. The Titanic Song?
Ed Helms That rings a bell. Yeah.
Ed Helms Priceless. Do you guys, I’m curious, like, we made so many Office episodes, and it’s really funny to me the way fans understand the episodes as these like, very tight, coherent stories, whereas I find that from our perspective as the actors, in looking at these stories from from a production standpoint, it takes us a week to shoot a half hour episode, and then we go right into the next week of another episode. And when you look back on it, it’s just kind of this wash of work, right? And I don’t- for me, it’s very hard to kind of remember the specifics of episodes and the specifics of like what was in what episode. And I mean, you guys have been really kind of studying them so it is probably more front of mind for you. But. But I, I am, I’m, I found this going back and watching this episode, like, it did trigger a lot of memories, but it also was a little frustrating kind of realizing that- what I don’t remember. And there are certain scenes, I don’t know if you have this experience watching episodes of The Office.
Ed Helms Where you’re like, I don’t remember shooting that. I don’t remember- I don’t even remember that day or what was going on. And sometimes it’s because you have some crazy thing going on in your life or but more often I think it’s just because you just don’t remember every day at work. And I got a little heartsick kind of watching. There were some some parts of this episode where I was like, Oh boy, I wish I remembered like… Just, you know, that that that scene where we’re all around the piano together. It’s one of those rare scenes where almost everybody is, like, in a clump and it’s with positive energy, right? Usually it’s usually it’s like, you know, a meeting in the in the conference room.
Angela Conference room, yeah.
Ed Helms And it’s all crazy. But like to have a moment where where everyone’s kind of in a good place and happy. It just I remember watching that and thinking like, this is this is so special. Like, I love these people. I love these human beings. And it made me a little bit heartsick for the things I don’t remember.
Jenna You’re literally- your character has the line at the end where you say-
Jenna You wish that you knew you were in the good times when you were in ‘em. Like, that’s literally what you’re saying.
Angela It is true, though, because you work every day, and some days stand out and some days don’t. It doesn’t matter what your job is. And acting is no different. But sometimes I don’t know the show the way people know it, when they can just sit down and watch it all the way through.
