Being on DirecTV means no more standards and practices for you guys. Do you even keep count of the swear words anymore?
I actually don’t have a count. I didn’t keep count. What was your count?
About a dozen in the season premiere.
Yeah, we just use them when it feels right to use them. Once we started writing, it didn’t feel like this big change, because it was like, that’s what a person would say. [Ted Danson’s character] Frobisher had a line in our pilot, he used the word “twat.” And FX made us change it. But the world of Damages this time around involves private military contractors, and it’s not like soldiers are afraid to say fuck. One area that we really had to talk about was, are Glenn and Rose going to do it? To suddenly have them speak like that, it didn’t feel right to us. I believe one of them swears once in the whole season. We’re still figuring out things like, when’s the first time Patty says, fuck? Maybe it’s when she stubs her toe? Or do you want to save it for a very dramatic moment? It’s very exciting to even have to think about that. And there’s some nudity that we weren’t able to have before, but it’s decorative. It’s more like accent notes on a scene where it feels like this person in that scene would be nude, so let them be nude.
