What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDylan Sprouse says he messaged Barbara Palvin, 'Here's my number,' after she followed him on Twitter. AOL reports she took six months to reply.
Isadora Whitlock-BraySix months is a very respectable wait. I once let a casting director sit for eleven.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWhat's your take on the romance?
Isadora Whitlock-BrayI think it's beautiful. Two people, one phone number, and a long silence. That's how my agent and I work.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTell us about Salt and Whiskers.
Isadora Whitlock-BrayIt's a courtroom drama in which every witness is a sea creature. I play the only lawyer who can hold her breath.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's a lot of breath. Now, AOL says Sprouse proposed on a hike in Big Sur, where they were searching for otters.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd an otter then appeared in the water. Did you have anything to do with that?
Isadora Whitlock-BrayNo. For the record, I only made one call, and it was to a friend who knows the otters.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo you're saying yes then?
Isadora Whitlock-BrayIt's a no with a phone call in it. For the record, he's a method otter, and he asked for a window seat.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA window seat, in the Pacific.
Isadora Whitlock-BrayFine, I booked him. He's represented by a woman named Marge, and Marge takes twenty percent of the clams.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's quite a confession. Let's do a lightning round. Favorite animal?
Isadora Whitlock-BrayOtter. Next question.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorPalvin says she asked for exclusivity with a pumpkin pie. Best way to ask someone to commit?
Isadora Whitlock-BrayA pie with a sign on it. Where I work, that's called a contract rider.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd your dream co-star?
Isadora Whitlock-BrayThe otter. He's asked for top billing and a bigger rock.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIsadora Whitlock-Bray, thank you. Salt and Whiskers is in theaters, and we're told the otter's rate is higher than yours.
