So who would win in a fight between Lynne and Sherry? Oh, Sherry without a doubt! She's too smart. She wouldn't even have to throw a punch. And you expect something sassy with Sherry and Lynne. You wanted those two people to be in a room together. You anticipated something. And I think you were very disappointed if nothing happened. Catfight… [laughs] Exactly. And I'm a very good fighter -- physically -- so I really wanted the chance to fight. Actually I really wanted to pull the trigger in the final episode! The outfit when you meet Lynne: Seventies pimpalicious or Nora Charles? The thing about Sherry's profile is, you just know it's her. All you have to do is see my lips and that's Sherry. The producers didn't want the hat but Jim Lapidus, the costume designer, had the hat. I was like, "Let's do the hat." I mean, I knew we weren't doing Dynasty or anything but I didn't want them to know it was me at first. I don't know how the producers liked it in the end but they didn't seem to mind it at the time. It was fun to have something to do something different. Plus, it was chilly out there and I really needed something on my head. What about between you and Kiefer -- without weapons, of course. When two people are fighting on the street, that's safe. You say, "Hey, c'mon, the only thing that's stopping us is air!" Well, the only thing that was stopping me in that final episode was that gun. [laughs] Other than that, Sherry can hold her own. She's not stupid. I almost wanted her to use that gun in Kiefer's defense at the end. You never did get to hold a weapon, did you? No. I thought it would have been interesting to see who I'd shoot. But then, I'm the actor and not the writer. You started having scenes with Kiefer. And that hadn't happened before. We had only been in the same room last season. You also hadn't done any action before. I know. I got to run and do things. That was exciting. What was that like? It was a relief. It's what required of me. I was like, "Great, I get to do what I do in my real life." It's funny because one of the producers' big concerns with all of that action was how high my heels were and if I was going to break an ankle and I thought, oh my gosh, they really don't know Penny! [laughs]. They're confusing Penny with Sherry, who is a diva who might not want to run. Actually I had to tone down my running because I don't think Sherry's as good a runner as Penny. It was exciting to do those things and to get stabbed. She's taken on the role of a man, except you know she's all woman. And it was fun to see her do those things.
