I wish you could see yourself the way the rest of the world does.
New Year's, there's something that always feels ominous about the countdown, the wish or the hope that the new year is going to be different. We tried to sort of approach it with that tension, what we know Rue's going through, Jules, Cassie, Maddy, Nate. A party's a sort of easy way to do that.
We wanted to create this montage of a state of emotion for all the characters to catch up where we are emotionally with them, and we just wanted to build this tableau of our main characters for season two.
We came up with this idea of telling it almost in these sorta snapshots, these portraits, these fleeting moments, and so we killed all the lights and put this giant 20K spotlight on that we would just flash for a second. And it's almost as if you were going back and looking at photos and you came across a shot of someone at a party. — Sam Levinson + Marcell Rév (Director of Photography)

There sat down, once, a thing on Henry’s heart só heavy, if he had a hundred years & more, & weeping, sleepless, in all them time Henry could not make good. Starts again always in Henry’s ears the little cough somewhere, an odour, a chime.
And there is another thing he has in mind like a grave Sienese face a thousand years would fail to blur the still profiled reproach of. Ghastly, with open eyes, he attends, blind. All the bells say: too late. This is not for tears; thinking.
But never did Henry, as he thought he did, end anyone and hacks her body up and hide the pieces, where they may be found. He knows: he went over everyone, & nobody’s missing. Often he reckons, in the dawn, them up. Nobody is ever missing. — Dream Song 29, John Berryman
What have you had your entire life that I didn't give you? Succession — Season One (2018)
I think that Connor really loves his little siblings, and I think over the years, they felt very comfortable with him. But when they got to a certain age, they realized that in this family, the only way to get ahead is to be mean, is to play dirty. This is the thing about these three, Kendall and Roman and Siobhan: If they would actually learn to listen, if they ever learned to listen to each other, the three of them could run that company. They'd be great, they'd be tremendous. But they can't, because the old man, by example, told us that winning is everything, coming in second is still losing. You've got to win, you've got to be the one, you got to be the boss, you've got to be the one that gets the last word.So when they got to be in their teens, I think that's when the snarky comments started coming out toward Connor, how slow he is, and everything. Because they wanted to succeed in this nasty world that their father is sort of lord and master of. - Alan Ruck Succession 2x08 | Dundee
