9:50 am:  Jamie (Director) talks about the "curiousity factor" of the show.  Compares DDD with "American Pie" and "Something About Mary".  Avoids the word "particularly", which he has a hard time saying.  Um, Arthur Miller?

9:52 am:  Heather ("Debbie") mentions her dry, deadpan sense of humor.  Yup.

9:53 am:  Yeah, Jamie.  Of course you didn’t have reservations about doing the show.  Your ass wasn’t onstage.  But in the end, you were right.  It’s not what I originally thought it was.

9:55 am:  Jamie says he makes a lot of bad decisions in his life.  We’ll have to get him to expand on that.

9:57 am:  Heather says: "Left for the audience to decide whether what Debbie did was right or wrong".  Good point.  Jamie takes the controversial stance that he is opposed to people selling their bodies for money.  Good to know.

9:58 am:  "Timeless classic"?  Very funny.

9:59 am:  That’s it?  Wow, those ten minutes really fly!

Nice job, guys!
