I don't like that.

What was your year? One of

Oh, poor Rosemary.

Rosemary Woodhouse.

Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse.

And Guy is an actor.

right yeah

yeah

it's just a baby carriage uh an old-fashioned pram on this rocky cliff with this sickly green background which does not appear in the movie and under any uh under any circumstances but it's very mood and the the tagline for this was pray for rosemary's baby which is like such a good tagline that's so evocative like Somebody help Rosemary Woodhouse.

Like, no one will help her.

But I'm still working on becoming a better Ruth Gordon, as we all know.

I think, well, right now you're gonna become a wonderful Rosemary Woodhouse.

All right.

i'm gonna see my name in lights

tyena i imagine guy is tyena

Mm-hmm.
