Balfe: [Laughs.] Sure, I pop off. Sam stays calm.
Heughan: It’s been complementary. I felt weirdly protecting of you from episode one. Then seeing you flourish into being the sturdy Claire that you’re…. That’s all the time been a part of Jamie, as properly, to guard. I don’t know whether or not that was the character or me, but it surely works rather well.

Heughan: No, in no way. You’re an individual of motion. However this one’s bother—all the time corpsing. We’ve a foolish humorousness, and typically that was my downfall. We’re very fortunate.

Heughan: We have been within the present for over a decade. Whether or not it was on or off set, we each went by means of stuff in our private lives. Caitríona would immediately know if there was one thing occurring. In these moments, she was there for me and would shield me in some methods, far more than she wanted to…like an older sister.
Balfe: Actually? So cheeky. Solely six months [older]. One time I actually took one for the crew. You bought a message that upset you on set, and I jumped up and yelled, “I’ve to go to the bathroom!” Everybody was like, “Does she have diarrhea?” I let everybody assume I had that for you.
Heughan: Did you? So good!

Balfe: Wouldn’t should put on a corset. You can do all of the appearing in your pajamas.
