How did she keep a straight face


How did the lady who plays balbricker keep a straight face during the suggesting a lineup scene?

The scene where Kim Cattrall is making all that noise makes me laugh. If I'd been an actor in the gym for that scene I'd have kept cracking up!

"Hey! Ladies! That was fun!"

Classic scene! What really drove it home for me is the gym class trying to do the layup drills, and the coach? is passing them the ball and they are laughing so hard, the ball just bounces off them.

That scene at comedy gold. It has the perfect amount of build up and then a fantastic delivery. You start of sniggering and trying to contain your laughter, then when the final line comes you cant help laughing like mad!

Coach Brackett: trying to stifle laughter "We can call down to the police station and have them send us one of their sketch artists... - chuckles - and miss Ballbricker... -chuckles- can give a description.." breaks out laughing.

I can barely contain my own stifled laughter.

Probably because the scene wasn't funny that's why. It was a dragged out scene with two poor actors with forced laughter.

I suspect it had to be rehearsed several times before she did.

I have to agree.
