We were lucky enough to have been invited to a press call interview with Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, and Jack Kenny, to discuss Warehouse 13. Syfy has sent us a full transcript of the conversation - it's long but there are some gems in there
Operator: Our
first question comes from the line of Erin Willard from scifimafia.com. Please
go ahead.
Erin Willard: Congratulations
on a terrific season and season finale because I just finished watching it and
wow you were both so spectacular you made me cry.
Eddie McClintock: Oh,
sorry.
Erin Willard: Yes,
I hate crying but...
Eddie McClintock: Apparently
a bunch of other people watched it too. I found out on my Twitter that it
leaked on a Torrent site somehow.
Erin Willard: Oh
no, really, oh too bad, but it was so good. I hope that everybody watches it on
Monday. I'm so excited for everybody to see it. I'm sure you are too. But what
can you tell us about what we have to look forward to in the season that you're
filming now?
Eddie McClintock: Joanne
gets naked.
Erin Willard: Awesome.
Eddie McClintock: More
than once.
Joanne Kelly: The
whole time actually.
Eddie McClintock: She
plays the whole thing naked.
Eddie McClintock: With
pasties though.
Erin Willard: Oh,
okay.
Eddie McClintock: Green
pasties.
Joanne Kelly: Green
pasties.
Eddie McClintock: That
look like jalapenos.
Erin Willard: Okay,
it's going up on the site tomorrow. I can't wait.
Joanne Kelly: And
there are a couple of really cool things that are in store. We have, I think
two standalone episodes that are very artifact laden. Eddie's really looking
forward to them.
Eddie McClintock: Very
much so.
Joanne Kelly: Yes,
we're just wrapping up - wrapping up our epic world that is Warehouse 13.
Eddie McClintock: And
I know I'm not supposed to say any spoilers but I can say this, they all die at
the end.
Erin Willard: Yes,
right. Thanks for that. Can you just tell me really quickly if the resolution
to all of the cliffhangers that we're left with at the finale is going to take
place in the first episode or if it's going to take the whole last season?
Eddie McClintock: Oh,
yes, in the first ten minutes you'll all go, okay, let's go walk under the
dome.
Joanne Kelly: Well
actually an after-school special about teenage pregnancy.
Eddie McClintock: What,
under the dome?
Erin Willard: Okay,
well thanks and enjoy your filming.
Eddie McClintock: No,
but seriously, you know, all we can tell you is that all the things you've come
to expect from this show over the years- it's all going to be compressed into
six episodes.
So
you're going to get the best - I think Mark Stern said to Jack Kenny, our EP,
‘All of the things that you've always wanted to do in the last few years? Go
ahead and do them.’ So if you think there's going to be a dancing-and-a-singing
episode, there may just be a dancing-and-singing episode.
Joanne Kelly: Here
comes Jack now.
Erin Willard: Wow.
Eddie McClintock: You
think that we may speak in foreign tongues. That may also happen. Uh-oh, here
comes Jack. I better shut up before he thinks I'm spoiling it. I told - I blew
it. I said that at the end everyone dies.
Jack Kenny: Oh,
at the end of - the end of this 4.5.
Joanne Kelly: No.
Eddie McClintock: No
at the end.
Jack Kenny: Oh,
yes, yes, right. You know me, I like to kill everybody. Sorry, I was shooting
and I just got back out. We had a huge stunt that's great.
Operator: Our
next question comes from the line of Jamie Ruby with scifivision.com. Please go
ahead.
Jamie Ruby: So,
as Erin said, I also cried a lot at the finale. But I'm just curious for Eddie
and Joanne, can you talk about kind of preparing for the really emotional
scenes and just how that was in general?
Eddie McClintock: For
me, Jack, says, ‘Eddie shut up, take that gum out of your mouth and action.’
Jack Kenny: And
I think I hit you in the face with the pizza you were eating too, didn't I?
Eddie McClintock: ‘Put
that pizza down. Shut up. Pull your pants up and action.’
Jack Kenny: He's
a real method actor.
Jamie Ruby: Yes,
I can tell.
Jack Kenny: You
guys, you guys, I mean, we talked for a while about it, right. We sat and
talked about the emotions, I mean I think - I don't think it's hard for an
actor to talk, I mean, it...
Joanne Kelly: We're
actors, man, that's what we do.
Eddie McClintock: Yes.
Jack Kenny: And
if you talk about it too much it kind of - it kind of gives it away. I mean
these guys are really good. They know the moment. They know the scene. They know
the emotion and to talk about it, I think, if you talk about it too much you
won't be able to do it, you know.
Joanne Kelly: Yes,
it's about being in a moment and not really getting in your head.
Eddie McClintock: It's
like sex. If I talk too much about it I won't be able to do it.
Jamie Ruby: Okay.
And then the other thing I wanted to ask is I know you guys are winding down
soon to the end. Is there like a particular - I don't whether you can or you
will, but is there a particular artifact that you guys wanted and would like to
keep and take home with you?
Jack Kenny: I
already have the Astrolabe so I'm happy. That was the best artifact ever. I
love that.
Joanne Kelly: The
astro-lobby.
Jack Kenny: Yes,
and most of the others I gave away to - I gave away to the writers.
Joanne Kelly: Rheticus'
compass is pretty rad.
Jack Kenny: And
Rheticus' compass is pretty cool, yes, it was beautifully mad.
Eddie McClintock: The
View actually had that.
Joanne Kelly: I
would like the muskoka chairs from the office for my patio. I don't have any
patio furniture so that's what I got my eye on.
Jack Kenny: Which
are the muskoka chairs?
Joanne Kelly: The
muskoka chairs are the big black ones outside of Artie's office.
Jack Kenny: Oh,
oh, yes, well we call them Adirondack chairs down south.
Joanne Kelly: We're
like the poor relatives in my building. Everybody else's patio's all done up
and we have like a barbecue and that doesn't work and some underwear...
Jack Kenny: Maybe
you'll wear the underwear for a start.
Joanne Kelly: I'm
not touching it.
Jack Kenny: I
know the artifacts are, you know, you what's weird - they look so much better
on camera than they do in your hand, you know, when you get the - like the
Phoenix is.
Like
the Phoenix is, you know, the original Phoenix artifact is pretty much made of
like plastic and then Quantum Mechanix - Quantum Mechanix, the people who make
all our props, they made replicas to sell as key chains and they're fantastic. I
mean, I want one of those.
Jack Kenny: Yes,
I want one of those. And the same thing with the Teslas, you see our Teslas
that we use and plastic and they kind of break a lot but the ones that you can
buy from Quantum Mechanix are fantastic ones so. And half the time we use their
props for now. We use their Farnsworths and their Teslas. I don't know was
there an artifact you want?
Eddie McClintock: I'm
going to take something from Artie's office, maybe the lizard—the big lizard.
Jack Kenny: Just
wait until - just wait until we wrap, please.
Eddie McClintock: Okay.
Jack Kenny: I
beg of you.
Joanne Kelly: The
suit of armor's cool.
Jack Kenny: The
suit of armor would be cool.
Eddie McClintock: Pete's
wardrobe will be missing.
Jack Kenny: No.
That's like half of the product. That's from every product.
Eddie McClintock: You'll
see on some red carpet thing in the future and you'll be like hey, it's Pete! That's
Eddie he's wearing the what - oh.
Jack Kenny: And
your toupee. Who's going to get your toupee?
Operator: Our
next question comes from the line of Tim Holquinn with ScreenFad. Please go
ahead.
Tim Holquinn: My
question is for Joanne. It's a couple of questions that Eddie's answered in the
past but he might want to revise his answers. He was asked before what he would
like the ultimate fate for Pete to be and he said he would like him to find
love and he was asked how he would like to be - his time on the show to be
remembered and he spoke about wanting it to be remembered as a family show.
And
so, Joanne, since we haven't gotten to ask you that question before, obviously
you want to live from your cancer but beyond that is there anything you'd like
to see happen ultimately for your character and how would you like your time on
the show to be remembered?
Joanne Kelly: What
would I like for her? I guess I just want her to be happy. Like I think
everybody wants. How would I like to be remembered? You know it's pretty
special to be - to have - for an actor to have a job for five years. It's been
pretty - been pretty great.
It's
been so nice to kind of be a part of all of this and to be introduced to the
science sci-fi world and introduced to something like Comic-Con. I mean, I
don't know how I want to be remembered. I think I'll know how I'll remember it.
What was the third question?
Tim Holquinn: It
was just those two. Your time on the show and how you'd like it remembered, and
what you'd like her ultimate fate to be beyond living or not.
Jack Kenny: I
think you both wanted to remember this series as the first series of year 12
that you did in your career. This is the, you know...
Eddie McClintock: The
first series of my 12?
Jack Kenny: Yes.
I'm trying to indicate that you're going to keep working. I mean, you won't but
Jo will.
Eddie McClintock: Oh.
Jack Kenny: You're
forever - when was the last time you worked in television, Eddie.
Eddie McClintock: There
you go. You know what Joanne's going to remember, me.
Jack Kenny: Oh
she'll remember you all right.
Eddie McClintock: Yes.
Tim Holquinn: Okay
and speaking of Comic-Con since Joanne raised it, just a quick question to
Jack. Will Anthony Head be joining you there this month?
Joanne Kelly: No.
Jack Kenny: No,
he's in England doing a sitcom actually. He's got six episodes of an English -
a British sitcom that he had to literally start rehearsing yesterday - Monday,
two days ago. He started rehearsing two days ago so he filmed with us all last
week and then he went - he jetted off to England to do that.
Tim Holquinn: Okay.
Jack Kenny: But
it'll be - it'll be the five cast members and myself.
Tim Holquinn: All
right. Well, thank you. I had more questions I'll get back in line.
Jack Kenny: Cool.
Joanne Kelly: Thank
you.
Eddie McClintock: Thanks,
Tim.
Operator: Once
again, please 1, 4, if you have any questions. Our next question comes from the
line of Laura Mastantuono with SpoilerTV.com. Please go ahead.
Laura Mastantuono : This
is the kind of answer because it was to ask you how would you like to see your
characters when the show ends?
Eddie McClintock: How
would we like to see what? I'm sorry.
Laura Mastantuono : Your
characters when the show ending, like it's the last season. So how would you
like to see Myka and Pete end up?
Eddie McClintock: Well,
Joanne keeps saying that she'd like to have it end with Pete and Myka in bed
and I'm just like, I don't know, I'm not sure. And like the last words of the
series would be, Myka going, Oh, Pete!
Jack Kenny: No
I think I think you read that wrong. I think the reading is, oh, Pete.
You
know, it's hard for us to talk so much about. I mean since we know where the
characters are going it's hard for us to talk about where we'd like the
characters to go because we don't - A, we don't want to give it away and B, we
don't want sound like we don't like where the characters are going, you know. So
it's kind of hard to - it's kind of hard to answer that question.
We
know what's going to happen and we don't want to give any of that away so I
think that everybody's - the characters will have a very, very satisfying final
episode. I think it's going to be basically six episodes in one.
When
the season - when 4.5 - when Season 5 was being ordered or on the fence of
being ordered we - the writers broke out about 10 or 12 stories and we only got
six scripts so we're doing five solid stories and the six script is going to
have six more stories in it.
Eddie McClintock: Nice.
Jack Kenny: It's
very full, our last one.
Operator: Our
next question comes from the line of Robin Burks with FanGirl Confessions. Please
go ahead.
Robin Burks: Hey.
Looking back through all of the seasons that you've done for Warehouse 13 what has been your favorite
experience on the show?
Joanne Kelly: I
think this new season coming up is my favorite.
Eddie McClintock: Favorite
- my favorite experience on the show was when my accountant said that they had
dropped the lawsuit.
Jack Kenny: All
right, since - since you - my favorite one is - was directing the second
Christmas episode. I think that was my favorite time because you got to see all
the characters how they would be if they hadn't gone - if they hadn't found Warehouse 13, where they would all be.
Joanne Kelly: Oh,
It's A Wonderful Life.
Jack Kenny: Yes,
the It's A Wonderful Life episode and
I really liked that. It was...
Joanne Kelly: That
was a great episode.
Jack Kenny: It
was a fun episode. I'd already done one so I kind of knew a little bit more of
what I was doing and it was such a cool place for everybody to be, and it was -
and I love Christmas so that was my favorite. That was my favorite experience
so far. I'm hoping that this next season provides my big ones.
Eddie McClintock: I
would say it was - when the show got picked up we went to New York and we
closed the NASDAQ and we were in Times Square and it said on the NASDAQ, Syfy
welcomes Warehouse 13 and Eddie McClintock
and...
Joanne Kelly: Joanne
Kelly.
Eddie McClintock: ...but
just Eddie McClintock. The only - the only physical - then I got my picture
took with me out in front and all big and my head was gigantic.
Jack Kenny: I
remember when we walked out onto the Comic-Con stage last year into the big
room and there were 6000 people screaming and cheering. I thought that was
pretty amazing. It was...
Joanne Kelly: Were
we in the same room as we were before?
Jack Kenny: No,
no. Last year we were in the big, big room and it was - it was packed. It was
just - it was really wild to see that many people that enjoy - that appreciate
the hard work we do all year.
Operator: Our
next question comes from the line of Stacy Roberts with seriouslyomg.com. Please
go ahead.
Joanne Kelly: Hello.
Stacy Roberts: Hi.
Jack, my question is, by finding out that this is going to be the final season
how did it affect how you start next season with the amazing cliffhangers and
sad cliffhangers that you ended this one with?
Jack Kenny: Well,
we - I mean - we knew how we had to get it - well obviously we had to wrap up
this cliffhanger from next week. We had to figure out how to get that taken
care of and, you know, because it was only six we didn't want to spend a lot of
time, you know, doing that.
So
we wanted to take care of it - kind of wrap up those stories in one episode and
then - and then move on to tell kind of as many big fun stories as we could.
We
designed an arch for the six episodes that would involve, you know, Claudia's
sister obviously because we've got - we introduced that and - and some major
Pete and Myka stuff.
Eddie McClintock: Have
we introduced that yet?
Jack Kenny: It's
in the finale coming up but they know - they know not to - they know not to
write too much about it. It's coming up in the - these people have all seen the
finale so they know that Artie's...
Eddie McClintock: Did
you hear it leaked on a Torrent site?
Jack Kenny: Ah
that's okay. A leak just means they're watching. That's fine with me. So we had
no way to wrap it - so we designed an arch for the sixth - for the six episodes
for our five characters to go through and then really we just wanted to have
fun.
We
just did some really big, big ideas. Syfy said think big and so we did. We just
got, you know, five really big ideas and then the finale which is I think a
really - it'll be a really satisfying way to end the show.
So,
yes, so we just - we just put our biggest ideas out there - anything that would
fit. We did in - we're doing it in Season 5.
Stacy Roberts: Okay,
and for Joanne and Eddie, how did you prepare for the cancer story line because
it - you guys have been so good at it?
Joanne Kelly: You
know, you can't say how you prepare for anything, you know, I think one of the
things about a story line like that is that we've all known somebody in our
life has been affected by that disease. You ask yourself a lot of the questions
that you would ask yourself if something like that happened to you and you go
from there.
Eddie McClintock: Yes,
I mean for me I just - it's not hard. I just try and imagine what it would be
like if Joanne came to me and told me that she had cancer, you know, so, you
know, she's my bud and it would bum me out, so it's pretty natural. It came
pretty easily to me.
Stacy Roberts: Okay,
thank you very much guys and the season finale was very good.
Jack Kenny: Oh,
thank you.
Joanne Kelly: Thank
you so much.
Eddie McClintock: Thank
you.
Operator: Our
next question comes from the line of Adam Newland with TV Equals. Please go
ahead.
Adam Newland: Hello
everyone. Thanks for taking the time to speak with us today.
Eddie McClintock: Hi,
man.
Adam Newland: I
have a question for Jack and maybe even Joanne can chime in on this as well. Given
that you only have six episodes for your final season, how prominently will
Myka's cancer going to factor into those remaining episodes?
Jack Kenny: Well,
you know, I don't want to give anything away.
Adam Newland: Sure.
Jack Kenny: She's
going, you know, at the end of the season, she went in for them to find out
what was going on with the cancer. And I don't want to - I can tell you we
wouldn't focus the last six episodes of this show on one of our characters
dying or having a fatal disease.
So
I think the last six episodes of the show have got to be about moving forward
in life, and what they're all doing. So it's not - her cancer is not going to
be a focus of the last six episodes. We're going to focus on their
relationship, each character to each other, and how they move forward in life. And
we're, you know, we're using - we have a big bad. We have a very surprising big
bad actually, showing up for the last six.
Adam Newland: Who
is it?
Jack Kenny: I'm
not going to say. We're shooting episode one, you don't know yet? Yes, we have
a - so we'll be dealing with that. We don't really be touching on the cancer.
Operator: We
have a follow-up question from the line of Jamie Ruby with scifivision.com. Please
go ahead.
Jamie Ruby: Can
you talk about any other characters next season that will be returning?
Jack Kenny: Well,
we'll see Hugo, Rene Auberjonois will show up again. We'll see Lindsay Wagner,
as Doctor Vanessa.
Joanne Kelly: Paula
Garcés.
Jack Kenny: Paula
Garcés will be coming back, yes, very good.
Eddie McClintock: Kelly
Hu.
Jack Kenny: Kelly
Hu will come back.
Eddie McClintock: Jamie
Murray
Jack Kenny: Jamie
Murray will show up again, yes, she'll be back at some point.
Joanne Kelly: Oh,
really?
Jack Kenny: No,
the two of you will not be walking off hand in hand into the sunset.
Jack Kenny: I'm
not opposed to it, it's just not what Warehouse
13 is about. Is that it, right? That's pretty much it.
Joanne Kelly: Yes,
and one very surprising...
Jack Kenny: We
can't tell you, we can't tell you.
Jaime Ruby: Dang.
All right, have you guys been thinking about the end? I mean, what are you guys
going to miss when it's all over the most?
Jack Kenny: We
all know the paycheck, Eddie, so move past that.
Eddie McClintock: You
know, the thing for me is, when I'm back in L.A., L.A. is a very - I have a few
friends that I see every once in a while. Because everybody is, you know, doing
their own thing back there, and, you know, people are spread out and it's hard
to get together there. What I'm going to miss most is coming to work every day
and seeing all my friends.
I
mean, you know, these people, truly after five years have become my family. It's
not just a cliché, it's really true. I just - I love these people, and the
thought of not being able to see them anymore, especially the people that I
have become friends with here in Toronto, because if I never get another series
in Toronto, who knows when I'll see them all again.
So,
you know, I'm trying not to think about it. I'm not going to think about it
until, you know, we call series wrap, and then I guess I'll be forced to think
about it. Or until someone like you asks me that question.
Jamie Ruby: Sorry.
Eddie McClintock: So
that's what it will be for me, I think.
Jamie Ruby: Joanne,
Jack?
Joanne Kelly: I
would have to say it's the same. I think it's probably the same for all of us. It's
weird to - this is the same frame for me, the timeframe is the same amount of
time that I went to high school, how long we've been shooting the show.
So think about that. Think about the fact that we've been all here,
for me now it's six years of working. It's a part of your life. These people
become a huge part of your life, the people that you spend the most time with. To
not wake up and see them every day is going to be really strange and weird, and
I don't like to think about it.
Jack Kelly: And
I think the, I mean, yes all of that, because I do so much love the people that
we work with here, but I think I'm going to miss having this kind of talent to
work with.
Because
you don't always get this kind of talent, you don't always get the gift of
these kind actors who can kind of do anything. And you can throw anything at
them, and they're ready to go, go, go. They'll just dive right in. I'm going to
miss that work environment.
And
the talent behind the camera, you know, you don't - I've never worked with a
Production Designer like Franco De Cotiis, I've never worked with a man who is
so passionate about every set he designs, every location we find. It's just,
you know, or Kerry Spurrell and her props that she comes up with, that she
creates for us. Or Joanne Hansen and her wardrobe.
I
mean it's just the people, they're so dedicated and so much fun and easy to
work with and, you know, this kind of thing just doesn't come along very often
in this business. You don't get it, you don't get this, you know, this
cross-section of immensely talented people to put together a show like this. It's
really rare, and I'll miss that.
Eddie McClintock: You
might get one part, or maybe two parts.
Joanne Kelly: Yes.
Jack Kelly: Yes,
rarely do you get all of it. Rarely do you get so many people all contributing
equally. I don't know if I'm going to be able to live without Mike McMurray
making constant jokes, our DP, you know? He keeps everybody alive.
Jamie Ruby: Do
you think that there's a possibility of like, a TV movie later down the road?
Jack Kelly: Yes,
I would think there probably is, you know, those kind of things - but it's
never the same. It's never going to be the same, certainly, it won't be the
same crew, because they'll probably all be working on a series somewhere. And
so right away it feels different, and then a TV movie is so finite, that it's
just, you know, we'll do it, it will be fun, but it's never quite the same,
it's like a reunion.
It's
never quite the same. It's fun, and we certainly wouldn't say no, but no, this
has been really special. We're already having a fun summer, we're going to keep
having a really fun summer, I think.
Jamie Ruby: Well,
we're having fun watching it. So, thank you.
Eddie McClintock: Thank
you.
Operator: We
have another follow-up question from the line of Tim Holquinn with ScreenFad,
please go ahead.
Tim Holquinn: Hey,
it's me again. You know, what I'm going to miss is getting to speak with you
guys so often on these conference calls. That's going to be a bummer. I hope
Jack and Eddie and Joanne, I hope you get another job on Syfy so we can do this
again.
Jack Kenny: I'll
give you Eddie's phone number; you can call him every day.
Eddie McClintock: I
need as many friends as I can get.
Jack Kenny: He
already said he has no friends in L.A., so...
Eddie McClintock: I'll
even pay you to call me.
Tim Holquinn: You
could eat while he talks. Okay, Jack, I have a couple questions for you. Outside
- both are sort of following up on Jamie Ruby's questions. Outside of the
telefilm realm, and because Warehouse 13 has so many fans, like you mentioned,
filling up the big room at Comic-Con, are you open, or do you have any plans to
perhaps carry the story forward in books or video games, comics, animated
series, anything like that?
Jack Kenny: I
don't, I don't know if Syfy does or not, I mean, I am a TV writer, I write TV
series, that's about it. I've never even written a screenplay, so I'm - I
wouldn't know where to begin with a book or a comic or an animated series. It's
not - it's sort of not my wheelhouse, and I'd probably just screw it up.
So,
but maybe they may very well go to some of our other writers who are very adept
at that, or they may - it may stay alive in one form or another, it's - but
honestly for me, it's these characters embodied by these actors, that's what
makes it special. I don't know that it would mean the same to me writing a book
or an animated series.
To
me, it's working with Joanne and Eddie and Saul and Allison and Aaron, and
these people. That's what I'd want to do, and I don't know that I'd want to
spend a lot of time with Pete, Myka, Artie, Claudia, and Steve without those
five people doing it, you know?
Tim Holquinn: Yes,
that's understandable. And then, lastly, sort of following up on who might be
in the final episodes and also Pete maybe getting a love interest, I was
wondering what became of Deb Stanley, played by Danielle Nicolet. Will we ever
see her again, maybe in the final episodes?
Jack Kenny: You
know, it's - I love Danni, she's such a wonderful actress, so much fun to be
with, I don't think there's a way to work - I mean, there's just so many people
we can work into these final eps, and I do like focusing on our regulars.
I
mean, I think the way to send this show off clean is just to focus on our five
regulars as strongly as possible, and really do some - and when I promise you,
we have got some great stories to tell you with the five of them.
I
love Danni, I don't think there's, at this point, we haven't - she's not a part
of these episodes we've broken out, but...
Eddie McClintock: She
got a series.
Jack Kenny: She
did get a series, it's true, but again neither is Liam, or your mom, even. We're
not even seeing Jane Lattimer in these last six. There's so many characters
that we've loved having on the show, and loved being here that we would love to
bring in the last six episodes. It's just hard to fit everybody in, you know? And
pricey.
Tim Holquinn: Definitely.
All right, well thank you again for your time, I really appreciate it.
Operator: Our
next question comes from the line of (Steve Cromp) with (dungeon.net), please
go ahead.
(Steve Cromp): So
I was wondering, maybe two questions here. One, you know, you all have kind of
developed a chemistry and all over the course of the seasons. How is that going
to go forward in these last few episodes that we're going to be seeing here?
Eddie McClintock: Well
I mean, I think whatever chemistry has developed between us will just get
better, I mean, that's basically the essence of chemistry. I think, you know,
unless you end up hating each other, which is always possible.
Eddie McClintock : Exactly.
I would think that it would either - it would just get better, yes Jackie?
Jack Kenny: Yes,
I think the chemistry, I mean, that's the good thing about such great
chemistry, is we get to ride this train right to the end and it just gets
deeper, and you don't have to write as many, you know, the reactions say as
much as any line you could write.
They
say that the episodes, the scripts on Cheers were about, you know, 25, 30 pages
long by the end of the series, because you could (write) 30 seconds on an
audience's reaction to something that one of the actors just looked at. You
don't even have to write a line.
So
that's one of the advantages of great chemistry is, you know, everything
doesn't have to be said, there will be some really unspoken moments that will
play beautifully, I think.
(Steve Cromp): That's
great. Is there any artifact, any story that you wish you could have gotten to?
Any that you had in the back of your mind that you kind of wish you would have
been able to realize?
Jack Kenny: I
was never able to break the Hitler's Microphone story.
Eddie McClintock: Yes,
I think that's a great one.
Jack Kenny: Yes,
I - never able to figure out how to make that work in an episode. But no, you
know, we kind of - honestly, I'm not kidding, the last episode of the series is
going to have six stories in it, that's the kind of - or five stories in it. That's
kind of the fun of it is we get to - we're getting to do all of our biggest
moments, it's kind of really fun. So no, you know...
(Steve Cromp): It'll
be good.
Jack Kenny: I'm
not much for regrets. I could not be prouder of every frame we've shot on this
show, except maybe Elements.
Eddie McClintock: It's
true. It's all true.
Jack Kenny: And
so I'm pretty happy.
(Steve Cromp): Great,
well thank you very much.
Eddie McClintock: Thank
you, sir.
Joanne Kelly: Thank
you.
Operator: Our
next question is a follow-up from the line of Stacy Roberts with
seriouslyomg.com. Please go ahead.
Stacy Roberts: Hi,
can you guys tell me like, what you'll remember everybody for?
Eddie McClintock: Saul,
I'll remember Saul because of his halitosis.
Jack Kenny: I'll
always remember your farts.
Eddie McClintock: My
flatulence I think has been pretty...
Jack Kenny: The
number of camera lenses you've ruined.
Eddie McClintock: I'm
good in the wide. What I'll remember about Joanne is her bubbly disposition in
the morning.
Jack Kenny: 7:00
am on Monday.
Eddie McClintock: 7:00
am on Monday.
Eddie McClintock: And
Allison, I'll remember her tap dancing. And Aaron I'll remember him...
Jack Kenny: Swearing
really, his unmitigated swearing, and throwing of things, and, I mean he's such
a diva, isn't he? He's just Aaron.
Joanne Kelly: Such
an asshole.
Jack Kenny: Oh
my God, he's so hard to deal with. Really it's the foul-mouth language that
comes out of him that just really - it's like a sailor.
Eddie McClintock: We
had a thunderstorm here one night, and Aaron caught wind that I was a little
nervous and scared, so he came and cuddled with me in my trailer. And that's
what I'll - it's his giving, his willingness to give.
Jack Kenny: You
know, I think they actually wanted a serious answer out of us.
Stacy Roberts: No.
Jack Kenny: Oh,
I don't know what I'll remember.
Joanne Kelly: Like,
we have so many memories; we have six years of memories.
Jack Kenny: My
guess is we're going to remember that last episode. I'm hoping to see the last,
I'm hoping to shoot - put the - see certain things on the last day of the last
episode, and if I can, I bet that's the day, that's what I'll remember most
about this show. It's a pretty powerful situation.
Eddie McClintock: You
know, the day, the scene where Artie shows Pete and Myka the Tesla for the
first time? On the front porch, on the porch...
Joanne Kelly: And
the Farnsworth.
Eddie McClintock: And
the Farnsworth, and you know, us going wow, and being like, you know, I'll
remember when I saw the Claudia episode for the first time, and I thought oh
man, this show is kind of cool. Hey, we might be on the air for a while.
Jack Kenny: I
can remember, you know, having the screenings at my house of, you know,
watching an episode all together, you know, with 100 people in my backyard.
Joanne Kelly: Yes,
that was really cool.
Jack Kenny: That
was kind of fun. That was fun watching those episodes.
Joanne Kelly: We
have a few screenings here, didn't we have one up at the Carlton Cinema?
Jack Kenny: Yes.
We had one there, we had one...
Joanne Kelly: And
I didn't want to watch them, because we were filming it (unintelligible) up and
say hi to everyone (unintelligible).
Jack Kenny: Yes,
CCH won't watch herself on camera either.
Eddie McClintock: The
first season, my youngest son pulled a 65-inch plasma down upon him.
Jack Kenny: Oh,
I'll remember that, yes. Your parenting skills on set really are amazing.
Joanne Kelly: But
I do remember Jack crawling into the air conditioning tube. Remember when you
couldn't find him, and we found him in the air conditioning tube?
Eddie McClintock: Thank
you.
Jack Kenny: You
just bring your kids to the set and say, go I'll see you in a few hours. What
could possibly happen on a soundstage, there's nothing dangerous on a sound
stage.
Joanne Kelly: Did
we answer your question?
Jack Kenny: Not
even close.
Stacy Roberts: Sure.
Thank you very, very much.
Joanne Kelly: Thank
you.
Operator: Next
question is a follow-up from the line of Robin Burks, with Fan Girl
Confessions, please go ahead.
Robin Burks: Hi
again.
Man: Hi.
Joanne Kelly: Hi.
Robin Burks: Someone
asked you about spinning the series into a new format, maybe like a comic or a
book. If that were to happen, how would you like to see the story of the
Warehouse continue?
Eddie McClintock: Turn
it into a comic or a book.
Joanne Kelly: We
don't do that.
Eddie McClintock: Say
it again, though?
Jack Kelly: I'm
sorry, we're back in action, could you ask the question again?
Robin Burks: If
that would happen, how would you like to see the story of the Warehouse
continue?
Joanne Kelly: We're
TV writers, we're masters at this, we're not novelists, or we don't - that's
not our world. So, I doubt I would even see it if something like that happens.
Jack Kenny: I
don't know, it's such a broad area, I'm not even sure, I mean, I'd like to just
see it keep going, and keep the Warehouse, and keep doing the same things we've
been doing.
Joanne Kelly: I
don't want to see - I don't think I'd want to see it without me being...
Jack Kenny: Well
that would be odd. It would weird to see it continue without being a part of
it, I have to say. But it would still be, you know.
Eddie McClintock: As
long as they gave us some residuals.
Jack Kenny: So
predictable.
Robin Burks: So
the answer is, as long as you get paid, you don't care.
Eddie McClintock: Right.
Jack Kenny: That's
Eddie's answer, yes.
Robin Burks: Thank
you
Jack Kenny: It's
hard to be involved in - it's hard to - if we're not going to be a part of it,
it's hard to be, you know, it's hard to project into what that would be. You
know, I would like to see it keep going in the direction it's always gone, but
that's, you know, because we never - I don't have any idea what these
characters - even if we're going to run the show for two more years, I don't
know where I'd take the characters.
Who
knows, could be any number of directions they'd go in. It would all depend on
where our heads were at the time, so...
Joanne Kelly: Hypothetical
situations, they're always very tricky.
Jack Kenny: And
they get me in trouble.
Eddie McClintock: And
I think these guys will back me up when I say that I'm very urban, and so I'm
generally all about the Benjamins.
Gary Morgenstein: Thank
you Eddie, Jo, Jack. See you soon in Comic-Con. Thank you everyone.
