Regis said: So is it Greta Earwig who gets pied, or someone cute?

Gerwig said, "If I'm anyone, I'm Tracy [the character played by Lola Kirke]. I made Lola wear things I wore at 18. That giant blazer - that was mine. It was even bigger. We had to tailor it down to fit her. I wore a lot of berets. I wanted to be a writer and moved to New York. And I wanted to be a part of a club where they put a pie in your face. That's real - that happened."

Gerwig: The whole thing of the pie in the face - about that being the way you found out you were in this lit society - that was actually the way you found out that you were a part of this really nerdy comedy thing at Columbia that I always wanted to be a part of. [laughs] I didn't get in my freshman year or my sophomore year, but I did get in my junior year. I remember hearing pie stuff and you were like, "Ugh. I didn't get into the pie club!" They would put a pie in your face, drive you out of bed, make you sing and do all this stuff, and you were inducted into them.

Kirke: I love the moment when Tracy gets the pie on her face.

Gerwig: And she just screams! That was so fun.

Kirke: I smelled like vomit for days. I don't know if you've ever had rotten milk in your hair, but it's horrible.
