So it\u2019s like\u2026it was an all-day. we had like seven, I had seven, eight scenes all day to do, so I haven\u2019t had a chance.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"&quot;auto&quot;\">\u201cBut I mean, it\u2019s great because how can Kathy complain because she\u2019s done exactly the same thing?

Don\u2019t tell Elaine I said that, though because she won\u2019t have that. But, yeah, so I think there could be a good friend, a friendship there.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"&quot;auto&quot;\">\u201cAnd I certainly think someone that she could go to with Cindy, you know, their problems with Cindy and I think that she would help, especially when you think of Cindy, George, and Elaine.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\"

And she\u2019s not afraid to go out and say something. She\u2019s not happy with anybody who harms her children or grandchildren.
