00:00We're going to do a quick interview.
00:02I'm really loud.
00:04This is my exit interview, did you say?
00:07Mandatory.
00:08Please go ahead.
00:09Which castmate would get employee of the year?
00:11I think Kayvan.
00:12Kayvan was never late, knew his lines,
00:15and did exactly what he was told.
00:17This is what I've been waiting for.
00:20Kayvan Novak would get employee of the year
00:22for being a hello, hello person.
00:25But it's a tie with Harvey.
00:27He gave me chocolate once.
00:28I'd say Natasha, but she didn't miss a beat.
00:30Natasha should get employee of the year.
00:33She had to do so much heavy lifting
00:36in a very male-centric cast.
00:40Mark Brooks would get employee of the year
00:43because he was an energy vampire.
00:45Well, it's finally happening.
00:48He put in the most effort.
00:49He said you, by the way.
00:50Oh, he has a huge crush on me.
00:53I think if it's employee of the year,
00:55Big Guillermo, they work his ass.
00:58None of them would make best employee.
01:00We get it. Yay!
01:01Worst would probably be Laszlo.
01:05Probably Laszlo.
01:06Laszlo, Matt Berry.
01:07He'd just be wanking the whole time.
01:09Laszlo and Nadia for probably gross indecency.
01:13How would you describe the company culture?
01:15The company culture.
01:17Strict with structure.
01:19Fun with humor.
01:20Jocular.
01:21A lot of sleep deprivation.
01:23Toxic.
01:24Really toxic.
01:25Scarring, actually.
01:26I'm in a lot of therapy.
01:28You are not a vampire, and if...
01:30Oh, no.
01:31Ta-da!
01:33You've only got each other.
01:35A big happy family, really.
01:37It's kind of cheesy to say that.
01:39If you've turned off, I don't...
01:40I completely understand.
01:42Now, ladies and gentlemen, I'm being asked against my will to portray Nando the Relentless.
01:48Guillermo de la Cruz.
01:49My voice does not change.
01:51You send ravens often, and...
01:52Oh, yes.
01:53It doesn't get reciprocated sometimes.
01:55It almost never.
01:56Shield us from the ravens.
01:58My ravens are good, good messengers.
02:01Have they told you that you were reincarnated as a child?
02:03I have no idea what you're talking about, really.
02:05You tried to hypnotize the city of Staten Island.
02:09Would you find that a success or a failure?
02:11I never tried to hypnotize the city of Staten Island.
02:15Next question.
02:16Nadja tried to open, like, a vampire nightclub.
02:18Mm-hmm.
02:19How would you rate that a successor?
02:21A hundred percent.
02:22Do you think you are adequately equipped to...
02:25Yes.
02:26How would you rate your satisfaction with the company?
02:28What's underneath zero?
02:30Me as Harvey.
02:32My experience, a thousand.
02:33How would I rate my satisfaction on the show?
02:35A million percent.
02:36A hundred million.
02:38A hundred.
02:39Six a.m.
02:41A show like this is so rare these days.
02:44Where a bunch of people dressed as vampires, pretending to be vampires for six seasons.
02:48Best time ever.
02:50One day is your first day of school and then the next is, like, your leavers party and everything that happened in between is good memories.
02:58The next day of school and then the next day.
02:59Your eyes are empty.
03:01The next day is your husband.
03:03And the next day is your husband.
03:05I was hungry.
03:07The next day is your husband.
03:09I questions your husband.
03:10I will go to your husband.
03:12What's your husband?
03:13What's your husband doing?
03:14I was hungry to me.
03:15I was hungry.
03:16I'm hungry.
03:17I'm hungry.
03:18I knew you're hungry.
