• Playing catty assistants Marc and Amanda or creating their own private gossip code, the real-life friends have a gift for gab

WAS THERE AN INSTANT PLATONIC ATTRACTION?

NEWTON: We had a very similar sense of humor early on. I looked at him and started laughing.

URIE: I had a prosthetic eyebrow [for a Botox scene].

NEWTON: He had me at the eyebrow.

NOW YOU'RE INSEPARABLE.

URIE: We share a brain.

NEWTON: We do share a brain!

URIE: We get the giggles sometimes.

NEWTON: But I get in trouble because he can control the laughter and I can't. He'll say something really funny, and they say, "Action," and I cannot hold it together.

BECKI, HOW DOES YOUR HUSBAND FEEL ABOUT YOUR FRIENDSHIP WITH MICHAEL, WHO'S SINGLE?

NEWTON: He's so happy that I found someone at work I can be silly with.

URIE: Make out with ...

NEWTON: No!

BECKI, DO YOU SET MICHAEL UP ON DATES?

NEWTON: I've protected him. I say, "You don't deserve him!"

WHAT DO YOU DO TOGETHER?

NEWTON: There's a lot of "bring it" [their code for gossip]. "Vault it" is code for "don't tell anyone."

URIE: We'll text: "Vault it. Bring it. Find me now."
