Ruby is an American, notorious for her loud mouth and more famous here in England than she is in the States! The first part of the interview takes place in 'A Expensive Limousine, Los Angeles, California.' Julianna is there, along with Ruby and her real-life husband/producer/director of the show, Clive Tulloh.

(Ruby has the 'Behind the Scenes at E.R.' book open at the page with the pictures of all the staff and is waiting to draw lines between the characters with a big pen)
JM: "Well, who's doing it or who's done it?"
RW: "Who's done it, who's doing it."
JM: "Okay."
RW: "Should I turn it this way? So, now, who's he doing it with?" (points to Mark Greene) <pic wax05>

RW: "Right, who are they?"
JM: "Penetration has not occurred."
RW: "Okay, well, then we'll do like, what, erm....we'll just, we'll remember that." (scribbles on the line)
JM: "Penetration has not occurred."
RW: "That means no penetration."
JM: "Okay, but penetration occurred here (Julianna points to Jennifer Greene) with him." (points to Mark)
RW: "With him?!"
JM: "Yeah."
RW: "So, big penetration." (draws a line)
JM: "Yeah."
RW: "How often would you say?"
JM: "Well, that was his wife."
RW: "Oh, right. Well, then it would be like a lot of penetration." (draws lots of lines between them)
JM: "A while, yeah."
RW: "Okay."
JM: "So, he's done it (points to Doug) with her." (points to Carol)

RW: "You are the slut."
(interview cut)
RW: "Do you ever like, when the corpse is open and the, you know, the big clampers are in there, I don't know the words. Do you ever like, laugh?"
JM: "Like the rib spreader?"
RW: "Well, yeah. Yeah."
JM: "Sure."
RW: "You know, she knows the lingo. But do you ever like laugh?"
JM: "The best is when it's a mannequin."
RW: "Right."
JM: "And you can really just hit it hard, like we take the instruments and whack it over the head or if it's like a fake baby....you know, we always take it...." <pic wax06>
RW: "You play toss the baby."
JM: "And we open up the mouth and shove things in it and hit it and get all our aggressions out so...."

RW: "You lived in England, didn't you?" <pic wax07>
JM: "Yes."
RW: "Yes."
JM: "Yeah. Are we gonna talk about that too?"
RW: "Yes, we're going onto that. In Sussex?"
JM: "In Sussex. Forest Row, Sussex."
(interview cut)
RW: "Give me your British accent. I'll be really...."
JM: "Oh, God!"
RW: "'Cause I've been there 22 years and I can only say can't."
JM: "What?"
RW: "'Cause I love that word. Did that scare you?"
JM: "What did you just say?!"
RW: "Can't....I can't come in. That's all I...."
JM: "That's all you can say? You've lived there 22 years!"
RW: "Well, I like doing that when I'm there. I just go, 'can't' in their face and then they turn around, I go, 'It's your word!'"
CT: "And a lot of people say it to you as well, don't they?
RW: "Yeah, they call me....Can't."
JM: "Can't."
RW: "You know, I'm always, as an American, it's not fair to say can't."
(this time she says it in an American accent)
(interview cut)
RW: "So, do your English."
JM: "No, I can't do things on demand. It'll just come out...."
RW: "All right, you worked in a shop on South Molten (?) Street."
JM: "I did."

JM: (in a cockney accent) "They all talk like that. They're all from the East End....'Yeah, lovely Jules.' They all call me Jules and they go, 'It's a bit of all right, innit Jules? Tea?'....Like that."
RW: "Yeah, yeah."
JM: "That was the only conversation. 'It's a bit of all right, innit Jules?....Tea?'"
(interview cut)
RW: "Have you ever been stalked?"
JM: "Erm....erm....when I was, when I was in college, yeah."
RW: "Really?"
JM: "Yeah, I was stalked by this crazy girl."
RW: "A girl?"
JM: "A girl. I didn't know it was a girl. I came home one night after I had like, I starred in the school play or whatever, this college play, and I came home and...."
RW: "You were so good in Hello Dolly that you would star...."
(interview cut)
JM: "I played Queen Izabela, it was a fabulous part....and my answering machine, it had like ten messages on, I was so excited, so I play the first one and...."
RW: "It was all from the same stalker woman."
JM: "Yeah."
RW: "Saying what?"
JM: "I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"

RW: "No!"
JM: "BITCH!"
RW: "Just 'cause you were good in the school play?"
JM: "Yeah....BURN IN HELL!"
RW: "No!"
JM: "YOU'RE GONNA DIE! And like, it went on and on, and then I thought, okay...."
RW: "So, when it ends it goes, 'beep,' and then it starts again?"
JM: "Right."
RW: "Wow! Spooky, spooky."
JM: "It went on and on and I figured, you know what, I'm almost out of school 'cause it was summer break, I was a sophomore and I moved to New York....to a whole different phone number, whatever, it didn't have it forwarded....first night there...."
RW: "Get outta here!"
JM: "Three in the morning, phone rings. Hello? I'M GONNA KILL YOU, BITCH! I KNOW YOU LIVE ON THE THIRD FLOOR!"
RW: "Wow!"
JM: "It was horrible. And the next year, a friend of mine started going out with the guy I had one, not even, we didn't even do anything. We went on a date and I didn't like him. She starts going out with him, she gets messages....I'M GONNA KILL YOU, BITCH! The same exact thing. We found out it was his ex-girlfriend, his crazy ex-girlfriend. So, we both left a message on her machine saying, YOU'RE GONNA DIE!"
RW: "Wow!"
JM: "And then she stopped."
RW: "And that was it?"
JM: "That was it."
RW: "What did she look like? Did you ever see her in person?"
JM: "I do know what she looked like but God forbid if she ever saw this show."
RW: "What was her name? Let's, let's...."
JM: "I'm not gonna tell you her name!"
RW: "YOU'RE GONNA DIE, BITCH! Don't you love that using television as a personal vendetta?....Hi, whatever happened to your life?"
(interview cut)
RW: "Now, I just wanna tell you my idea. I think you're gonna like it. What we do, instead, we're just gonna go through the interview now in the car but then I thought we'd do the main bulk of the interview in a bowling alley."
JM: "Why?"
RW: "Because, errr, I thought people would....because if you're really bad then at least if they're interested in bowling they have something to watch."
JM: "Okay."
RW: "And many people really think it's a clever idea which I did. So, my...."
JM: "No, that's good, I'm glad. I think it'll be fun."
RW: "The bowling alley, it's the thing. It's....
JM: "Okay."
RW: "....not, you know, what you're....anyway. So, it's get-out clause for you...."
(interview cut)
RW: "Do you find yourself like, now that you're successful, becoming an asshole? In any way, seriously, do you catch yourself....Do you know what I mean? I've never asked that question before."
(interview cut)
JM: "I have an assistant, right, which freaks me out. She works, she talked her way into working three days a week for me. She used to work half a day,  then a whole day, then two days, now three days. And I said to her, if ever it comes a day where I don't do my own laundry, shoot me."
RW: "That's a good thing. You need somebody on the pulse because you may, it may, you know."
JM: "It would drive me nuts. I have to be in control, I have to do things myself. I have to...."
RW: "You have to touch your own laundry."
JM: "I do my own laundry. I fold my own panties."
RW: "Oh, that's a beautiful story, isn't it? Folds her own panties."
CT: "That's a tick." (ticks the sheet of paper in front of him)
RW: "I don't fold my panties."
JM: "I know, I could tell."
RW: "I make Clive fold my panties."
JM: "Clive, do you fold her panties?"
RW: "Doesn't just fold 'em."
CT: "Sniffs 'em."
RW: "And proud of it!"
JM: "If I had a Clive, he could fold mine."
RW: "Such pleasure he gets. You know, you see the bald head light up."
CT: "Do you wanna see her knickers?" (begins to unfasten his belt)
(interview cut)
RW: "Oh, Clive, leave her alone."
CT: "I was just asking." (gets out of car)
RW: "He doesn't understand...."
JM: "Can we get out now?"
RW: "....doesn't understand that we're bonding because of this conversation.
Yeah." (gets out of car)
JM: (to camera) "I'm gonna go out this way 'cause she's a little weird."

RW: "So, what I do is, I bowl." <pic wax09>
JM: "Right."
RW: "I ask the questions, then we're gonna cut to you answering the questions and bowling."
JM: "Bowling, that's great."
RW: "And it's gonna work. It'll look arty."
JM: "Right."
RW: "And kind of classy, I think."
JM: "I think it's very artistic. Clive, well done. Did you think it up?"
<pic wax10>
RW: "No, it was my idea. He's too busy concentrating on building nodules on his forehead." <pic wax11>

JM (as she bowls): "I have not experienced George Clooney's tongue as of yet." <pic wax13>
RW (as she bowls): "Is it difficult to remember all your lines?"
(Ruby hits the camera man with the bowling ball - on purpose - sending the camera crashing to the floor)
RW: "Oh my God!" (she rushes over, slips and falls on her ass - not on purpose - and they both laugh)
JM: "My God! Are you okay?"
RW: "No, look at the camera man. Oh, shit (bleeped out), he's bleeding."
JM: "Are you okay?"
RW: "No. Are you all right?" <pic wax14>
JM: "He's really bloody."
RW: "Well, get something, get something."
(camera starts flashing)
JM: "I don't know what to get."
RW: "Just get a band-aid or something."
JM: "I can't, I can't do it.
RW: Look at him!"
(camera flashes even more)
JM: "I can't get him anything! I don't know how to do it! I don't know what to do!"
