00:00 In the Vogue article that just came out recently, there's reference to a joke on page one that
00:06 made I believe Margot's jaw drop to the floor.
00:09 And then it says that the joke didn't make it into the movie.
00:12 And I'm curious as to what that joke was.
00:14 Oh, well, suffice to say, there was a sort of extended joke with Marie Curie, which didn't
00:23 end up being part of it.
00:25 But yes, there was a page one F-bomb that we were just sort of set the tone for the
00:33 whole thing.
00:34 Who said it?
00:35 Well, it was actually, it was the, what the line was, it was actually Helen Mirren saying
00:42 to Marie Curie, "Pipe the fuck down, Marie Curie."
00:46 But that was like my favorite.
00:49 I was like, because you know you only get like one F-bomb.
00:51 You get it to Issa, right?
00:52 Doesn't Issa get it?
00:53 Issa gets it, but we only got one F-bomb and we were like, well, let's use it at the very
00:57 beginning as, and there's just something to me, Helen Mirren saying, "Pipe the fuck down,
01:03 Marie Curie."
01:04 Did she record the line?
01:05 Oh, yes.
01:06 So the audio's there.
01:07 The audio exists.
01:08 There's an audio somewhere in the world of her saying, "Pipe the fuck down, Marie Curie,"
01:10 with like a proper British voice.
01:12 But it was something in the editing that didn't end up making the cut.
01:16 But yes, that was, I would say, the line that everyone was like, "Oh, no.
01:21 No, no."
01:22 That is incredible.
01:24 But it'll live on in this podcast.
01:25 I love that.
01:26 Now we have it.
