00:02 - I think it's gotta be Demoiselle.
00:08 - I like to be Demoiselle, I think.
00:09 - Oh, I wanna play you.
00:10 [laughing]
00:12 25,000 years old Demoiselle,
00:15 kind of quietly behind the scenes,
00:17 running things, being sly.
00:19 - Lara does it so well, I don't wanna touch it,
00:21 but I think it'd be fun trying to understand
00:25 what it's like to be a robot,
00:26 and she navigates that performance so beautifully.
00:29 - Oh, if I could play any character,
00:31 it would probably be Dawn.
00:33 Dawn changes a lot, obviously,
00:35 because of the way the nature of the Cleons.
00:37 Cassian, who plays Dawn,
00:39 gets to do so many things as an actor,
00:41 and that's really exciting.
00:42 - The Emperor of the Galaxy, very simple.
00:44 [laughing]
00:46 I think he would be a good leader, like, openly.
00:48 - Okay, all right.
00:49 [upbeat music]
00:52 - I mean, the obvious answer is the Prime Radian.
00:57 I think in some way that the Vault
01:00 is more impressive than the Prime Radian.
01:02 - There's like a device in season one
01:05 where you can kind of put this laser thing
01:08 over something and just fix it.
01:10 [laughing]
01:11 - That Starboy uses on the Invictus,
01:13 and I think that's a great thing
01:15 that I would love to have.
01:18 - I do like the bracelet.
01:20 - The protective aura.
01:21 I'm so clumsy.
01:22 [laughing]
01:23 I trip and fall all the time,
01:25 and I get bruises all the time,
01:26 so I probably would save myself from all of that
01:29 if I had one of those.
01:30 [upbeat music]
01:32 - Well, I think I already did.
01:35 - Do you trust the math?
01:37 - I definitely could not win a Galaxy-wide math contest.
01:40 There's no way that Harry Seldon
01:42 would ever pick me as a prodigy.
01:44 - No.
01:45 - No, no, no, I really suck at math.
01:47 - I reckon I could win a Galaxy-wide math contest
01:51 if it was trigonometry,
01:53 'cause I actually hilariously used to do that
01:56 as a hobby,
01:57 just solve trigonometry when I was younger.
01:59 [upbeat music]
02:02 - Wouldn't we all like to mind read?
02:05 [laughing]
02:06 I think that would save me a lot of time.
02:08 - I definitely nerded out on the fact
02:11 that the Prime Radiant, we explain,
02:12 is a quantum device that's in a state of superposition,
02:16 which means it can sort of be in two places at once.
02:19 I love that.
02:19 I love that the ball is a tesseract,
02:22 meaning it's bigger on the inside
02:23 than it is on the outside,
02:25 because I think that's really mind-blowing,
02:27 and I love where that mind takes me.
02:29 I sure would love to have a bishop's claw
02:31 that I could just ride,
02:33 and it would defend me if anyone attacked me.
02:34 I think that one's pretty cool.
02:36 [upbeat music]
02:39 - See, yeah, this is the question.
02:43 - This is the question.
02:44 - This is the question.
02:46 I hope so.
02:46 Isn't that where we're headed?
02:50 I don't know, you guys tell me.
02:52 No, definitely not.
02:54 We should all be scared of AI.
02:57 - I think we probably can exist peacefully,
03:00 but we're gonna have to compromise on some things, I reckon.
03:03 - It's so complicated, and also,
03:05 I mean, you look at it happening right now.
03:07 I know people who look at their phones
03:09 more than they look at their spouse.
03:11 - The beautiful thing about communicating with a human
03:13 is that you always have to take a risk
03:15 that you don't know how the other person
03:17 is gonna communicate with you,
03:19 kind of like falling in love.
03:20 It's always a risk.
03:21 [upbeat music]
03:24 - Yeah, I think, yeah. - Easy, easy, yeah.
03:27 [upbeat music]
