00:00How is your look inspired by tonight's theme? Because I feel like it is.
00:03Yes, it's quite on theme, I'd say.
00:06No, I love, I mean, already I'm obsessed with, like, 20s fashion.
00:11And I also love vintage.
00:13And so this was, like, made for me as a theme.
00:16And this is all vintage archival.
00:18It's Roberto Cavalli in Blue Marine.
00:20And then added, like, a lot of other bits and bobs to kind of bring it into a new era.
00:27But, no, I just love, I also just love a theme.
00:30I'm the girl, I was the girl in school who had the themed birthday, the glee party.
00:34I had a disco party.
00:37Like, that's me all over.
00:39I think that's being a theater kid.
00:41You know, we love a theme.
00:42No, it's just I wanted to be like, okay, now I'm a different person.
00:45I'm not Easton anymore.
00:46Also, for some reason, this person sings.
00:50Speaking of being a theater kid, I saw a TikTok the other day.
00:53And it was someone who saw you on stage in Hamilton.
00:55And they were realizing it, you know, after the fact.
00:57And all the comments were like, gosh, Santos doing everything but charting.
01:01Yeah, no, no, no, no.
01:02She just, hey, she is a Filipino after all.
01:05She's too busy singing.
01:06You know that this doctor can sing.
01:09No, no, it is really funny to see people also finding out that I'm a theater person.
01:13And then there are so many people who know me from theater who are like, you just got here.
01:17I'm like, what do you mean?
01:18Oh, my God.
01:19Patrick's next to me.
01:20Jesus.
01:21Oof.
01:22God.
01:23Always stealing my spotlight.
01:25Anyway, what was the next question?
01:27Too funny.
01:28Too perfect that the two of you would be next to each other.
01:31But so this season, you know, what can you say about what Santos is going through?
01:35And, you know, this kind of tension with her and Langdon.
01:37Yeah, I think we're now seeing her 10 months later.
01:40So she is more used to being in this ED, but it doesn't necessarily mean she's more comfortable.
01:47I think she has been in a lot of uncomfortable situations because of her history with Langdon.
01:53I think people don't necessarily like when someone speaks up about a beloved man.
01:59And I think that can lead to some ostracizing of the person who has spoken up.
02:05And I think that's probably part of what she has dealt with in that time.
02:09And also our two year is notoriously a really hard year.
02:13It's just like when you're taking care of everyone below you, you're also catching everything from up top.
02:18And you're also in so much debt and you're just trying to live your life.
02:21So she's got a lot of pressures and it's not been a great day for her.
02:27And I was talking about, you know, TikTok earlier.
02:29TikTok has been loving Nurse Dana this season and her one-liners.
02:33Do you have a favorite Nurse Dana one-liner?
02:36Well, I mean, I know what you're talking about.
02:38Baby Jane Doe.
02:40Baby Jane Doe is looking good, taking formula well.
02:43That's my favorite thing.
02:45No, I think also in the last one where she's like, are you fucking kidding me?
02:49I was like, this is so good.
02:51She just says everything with such gusto.
02:54And I want to take that into my everyday life.
02:56I just want to say things with the amount of gusto that Nurse Dana does.
03:00All right, this ain't Philly.
03:02That one is really good too.
03:04No, I love that.
03:05I think we all could be more like Nurse Dana, really.
03:07Hey, no, she stands up for herself now.
03:10The gloves are off.
03:11She is ready to fight.
03:13I mean, you saw when that guy tried to grab Nurse Emma and she was ready to fucking go.
03:19That's me.
03:20That's kind of me on the set.
03:21If I'm like, if anyone touches my girls, get your hand off Supriya.
03:25That's all right.
03:25Yeah.
03:26That's all right.
03:27That's all right.
03:27All right.
03:35I was like, come on.
