Enchanted to meet you. I am Luno
0:02
And I'm Sonny. I have a good feeling about this. So let me see here
0:07
In your letter, you said you're having some trouble with your parents
0:12
You think they are, uh, uh, what did she call them, Sonny
0:16
Monsters. Right. Monsters. And what makes you think your parents are monsters
0:24
Well... Wow, you ain't kidding. The or monsters. Yes, I know. The oracles are two of my favorite characters
0:36
I love the sort of that playful yin and yang relationship they have
0:40
Was that something that was always in the script or did that kind of come out of recording sessions along the way
0:45
He was a part of it long before I was. And this is the first time I've ever met my dearly, lovely Nathan
0:53
So yeah I mean maybe it was inherited the script but my affection for this man for this man goes way before this script And it a mutual admiration society
1:09
You know, there was, you know, they, I'll tell you a secret
1:16
They said to me that they're sort of a couple. So I got that
1:23
If you get my drip. I mean, nothing graphic. but they're, you know, they're two
1:29
they're in the woods, they're the fire in ponds. They're two male
1:34
there are two male oracles who live in the forest in a mushroom house
1:38
And I mean that in the nicest way. They love garlic bread
1:42
And they love garlic bread and lasagna. You know what I'm saying? You know, they
1:47
this is sort of a common law marriage, I think. But, um
1:53
but yes, there's a, they're the oracles of the sun. on in the moon
1:57
So they there These are that interesting though that they would choose Sunny and Looney Yeah well of course But they would choose queer people To be to be the sun and the moon
2:08
Yes. To lead the universe. That's right. I mean, not all jokes aside, but like, I think that's kind of..
2:15
I think so, too. Yeah, it's kind of beautiful that way. It is beautiful. And we still are, and we still need this
2:20
And I picked up on that, certainly. And that was, and I loved it. Obviously, in the story, you guys work as kind of guides for Alien
2:27
And I'm curious who have been oracles in your career, mentors or guys you've turned to for help throughout your fabulous careers
2:36
Okay. Well, so not to rehash this again, but, you know, I've watched this man's career for so long
2:44
And I don't know if you did it on purpose or out of necessity or however you curated it
2:50
But it was, you know, I looked to you several times for
2:57
a way to move forward because if it going to sound like an insult Nathan but you you house a skill set that is very unique and unlike most men
3:11
And, you know, people often didn't know quite what to do with me either
3:17
And so, you know, when I happened upon you in guys and dolls and what you offered
3:25
of course, all the other things that you offered, but that was my first encounter
3:29
with you, it just was so, I don't know, I just was like, oh, this is a way forward just to go and do
3:36
the damn thing. So that is my answer. Oh, thank you. That's very sweet of you to say. I would say
3:47
you know, Terrence McNally in my life, who was a very close friend and mentor and early
3:54
champion of mine as an actor. He's really, he's really, he's really
3:59
really sort of changed my life with his work
